We had the absolute BEST experience working with Brides n Blooms for our special day!! The team worked so hard to bring our vision to life, we can’t thank them enough!! My husband ...
and I know very little about flowers, all we knew is we wanted color - and WOW did the team bring us color!! It was an incredible honor to have them part of our day, and I recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, intentional and fantastic florists!
WOW! I am not much of a creative person, but I had clear vision of what I wanted my wedding to look like. I gave Dorelle at Bride N Blooms my ideas and she made them come to life e...
ven better than I could have imagined. She truly went above and beyond to make sure my day was perfect. From the quoting process to the clean-up process, she treated my wedding with such care. Communication was fantastic and she was always kind whenever we spoke. Her pricing was a steal...and I felt very good about what I spent with her and did not feel like I was overcharged or pressed into purchasing more than I wanted. Honestly, one of my favorite parts of my wedding day was the design work and florals of my wedding and I will never forget it. It rained on my wedding day and was worried that it would not be beautiful indoors, but Dorelle assured me day of that she would make sure it was beautiful and she did not disappoint. The arch was INCREDIBLE. I cannot recommend Bride N Blooms enough and would definitely use them again if I ever had another event or to a friend or family member who was getting married in the Bay Area of Florida.
The florals came out AMAZING. The designs were incredible, you could see the care and attention put into each piece. The team took my concept and created it beautifully! They were ...
amazing with customer service and developed a package that suited my needs and budget perfectly! It was exactly what I wanted and more. I am still blown away. My husband and I still talk about how beautiful the flowers turned out. I would book them again in a heartbeat. I will absolutely be recommending them to my friends! I only wish I had my bouquet preserved after the wedding, it was stunning!
Ellen from Brides N Blooms took my flower inspiration and made it a reality. Her attention to detail made our wedding florals look amazing. She was very attentive during the planni...
ng process and listened to my ideas but also used her creativity and expertise to come up with a design proposal. I was extremely satisfied with her proposal and felt very confident booking her as my florist. Because of her ability to source flowers, I felt that she was able to maximize my floral budget and make my wedding beautiful without breaking the bank. Ellen and her assistant delivered our personal flowers to our getting ready location and they were well packaged. She also delivered and set up the flowers along with my provided decor in a timely manner at the venue and everything looked perfect. You can also tell that Ellen really enjoys what she does and even she was excited with the flower design I imagined. I can't thank her enough!
Ellen is so sweet and is so attentive to brides. I absolutely love my bouquet. My mom is drying it for me so I can have it forever!
Had my wedding on 3/26/2023 Ellen and team, thank you so much for your patience, reassurance and diligence working with us this past year. I knew from the start that I wanted all ...
ivory and white flowers and they did exactly what I had in mind. The most GORGEOUS arrangements. So well made, we took some home and let me tell you they have lasted! I’m still enjoying them. Very high quality work, communicative every step of the way and detail oriented from the very beginning. One of the best vendors I worked with during my wedding planning. Highly recommend Brides n Bloom for your floral needs!!! 🤍
We just had our wedding on 3/4/23 at the sandbar. Dorelle ( owner) was such a delight to work with. I had to change some stuff last minute due to using different shaped tables and ...
she executed it perfectly. Not only was she super quick to respond, she made the process not stressful at all.
I described to her what I envisioned, and she came up with a proposal that same very week. Prices were definitely affordable, and she went above and beyond to make us happy. ( which we are :) )
The day of the ceremony, she was on time, and her work is truly amazing. Will def use her again for a different event. I wish there was a way to post photos of her work.
Please hire Brides n Blooms, they are extremely professional and you can count on them 100%!!
Ellen did such a fantastic job. Flowers are not my forte but I knew what I wanted, provided pictures and Ellen was able to provide her expertise to take our flowers to a whole new ...
level. SO BEAUTIFUL, ELEGANT AND TIMELESS. Brought them straight to the venue so beautifully prepared and made things so easy. I was blown away by the arch design, gosh it was beautiful. We loved working with Ellen and know you’ll get fantastic flowers and beautiful arrangements from an expert if you decide to go with her!
The flowers on our wedding day were truly beautiful and perfect. They create bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, wreaths, and pew decorations. I showed theme pictures of the gene...

The Bouquets, Boutonnieres, centerpieces, Nosegay and Garland was exactly what I wanted!!! Everything was so pretty and the flowers so fresh!!! They lasted about 2 weeks! The colo...
r of the orchids were absolutely stunning!!!
I loved how you added a touch of orchids on the gift table and used some cording to add to it! The matching fabric around the bouquets was an extra special touch too!!!
My sister said the Garland was absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much!
You were so easy to work with since I was a destination wedding. Quick response with the utmost detail !!!
You made my wedding day so special !!!
Thanks Again !!!
With Love From Kansas City
We planned everything from out of state(4/2021), the communication was great. Ellen was wonderful and we loved our bouquets, arch and table centerpieces.
Dorelle was so helpful during our planning calls and was kind enough to help with other fantastic vendor recommendations. She worked with us on a number of adjustments to our flora...

I hired Brides N Blooms from a recommendation of a friend and I'm glad I did! We handled everything about 6-7 months before the wedding and I didn't have to worry about double chec...
king on the status of the florals or anything! The only reason that I give them a 4 instead of a 5 is because I really wanted floating candles with a submerged pink stock but the water was not filled all the way and there were no candles in the centerpiece itself which is what was in all the inspiration pictures we agreed on. Everything was still very beautiful, we got aisle markers, a large arrangement for the top of an archway, and the boutonnieres for the Groom / Family that was walking. Overall I did have a pleasant and professional experience working with them and I'm glad they were my Florist for my wedding.
Update/Edit:
Dorelle and Ellen have reached out to me and have made it right. They have provided excellent customer service and sincerity in their response to this review. Honestly I wasn't expecting a response at all so I must say, I'm glad to give them 5/5. I'd definitely recommend them for a wedding service. They are very willing to work with you and listen to what you want.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Brides N Bloom. I was a very relaxed bride and after briefly telling them my color scheme and what I kind of wanted they went over my expec...
tations and the flowers were absolutely flawless. Set up and clean up went smoothly. I have nothing but praise and I highly recommend them.
We got married on 3/14/21, and Ellen was absolutely amazing to work with! I had a very specific idea for my own bouquet that I had a picture for, but I was open to suggestions for ...
the rest of the flower arrangements. She took the picture I sent her for inspiration and hit the nail on the head for the designs of almost everything on the very first try! I loved every single arrangement we had, from the pew bows at the church to the centerpieces at the reception, and every bouquet and boutonniere on our wedding party. She even took the time to add some sentimental items (wrap and charms) to my bouquet when she delivered the flowers. The only small problem was that the mother flowers were on metal bracelets that did not move with their wrists the way elastic might have, and that made it a little harder to keep them from getting damaged. We made sure to be careful with them once we realized that, though, and they did survive through the ceremony and pictures. Overall I had an amazing experience with Ellen and I highly recommend Brides N Blooms to any bride!
Dorelle did a great job. She is very knowledgeable about the types of flowers and greenery and after we discussed our wedding theme, she was able to make them come alive. Highly re...

I stumbled across Brides N Blooms during my wedding vendor research and I am so glad I did! I was in touch with several other florists, but from my first call with Ellen I felt at-...
ease. She spent so much time with me, discussing my budget, vision, and ideas to bring it to all to life. And when trying to adapt our wedding plans around COVID-19, she was so responsive, understanding and ready to jump in and help me adjust my quote because of our never-ending changes. I loved how the bouquets and floral arrangements came together for the day-of and will 100% recommend Brides N Blooms to anyone planning a wedding – or any event – in the future!
The absolute BEST! They went above and beyond to make our wedding look picture perfect. They are so easy to work with and have great visions to make every space look spectacular. ...
They went out of their way to help and even came back to move and set the tables up for our rehearsal dinner when it rained and our rental service couldn’t. Seriously an incredible team and the friendliest people you will work with. The flowers were so beautiful and fresh and lasted over a week after the wedding. They put so much love into everything they Touched- a must have at any wedding or event!!!! Great price too :)
Such an amazing florist!! I worked with Dorelle and she was so easy to work with. She was always very responsive whenever I had any questions. They absolutely nailed my wedding day...
vision. I wanted a boho look with lots of pampas grass and it came out better than I could have imagined. I received so many compliments regarding how beautiful our arch and floral arrangements turned out. Their fair pricing is also something that stands out. Overall, my wedding day was beautiful largely in part due to them! Thank you!!
Dorelle was an absolute doll to work with. I had searched for a florist who would understand my unique vision for the day and from the first time I spoke with her I felt that she “...
got it” - and she did! She was so easy to work with and everything was so beautiful! Huge bonus that she was very familiar with sola wood flowers (google these, trust me!) so we were able to have both live flowers and the sola ones that I had really really wanted, which was fantastic!! They go above and beyond for their clients - easily the best choice we made regarding our vendors!
Gorgeous!!!! Overjoyed with my flowers, bouquet, archway and centerpieces! From the start, Dorelle was a pleasure to do business with. We told her our story, and she felt like a lo...
ng time friend. She got everything PERFECT and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome! Even when we had last minute table cancellations, she was able to just make new pieces to adorn the reception area and even got us table numbers after the venue told us they couldn’t provide. Set up and clean up was efficient and precise. And they didn’t overcharge and were extremely pleasant to do business with, even with all our changes due to COVID. Highly recommend! Thank you for being a part of my day and making everything look stunning! We are so grateful!!!
I can't thank the team from Brides n Blooms enough! Getting married during a global pandemic is so stressful and heart wrenching. Our original wedding date of 3/28 had to get can...
celed, as that is when lock down started. We moved our date out 3 months with the guidance and help from Ellen. I was nervous once our 2nd date was approaching, but Ellen was so helpful and brought my vision to life! Our wedding was much smaller than we thought, but every detail was perfect and so glad we went through with the day. Thank you again for being part of day!
Simply Perfection! They were so attentive by keeping me updated to what was going on. Ellen and her staff were so nice and welcoming.

chieved that 100%. Many florists are very expensive but Brides N Blooms caught me by their breathtaking arrangements and their pricing. The whole company was very professional and a pleasure to work with. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would recommend this company to anyone for any type of event needing floral arrangements.
Ellen and Dorelle helped to make my vision for beautiful wildflowers at my wedding a reality! I was totally clueless in describing what I wanted, but the team at Brides N Blooms we...
re by my side every step of the way. They were so responsive, answered all my questions, and put my anxiety at ease. I wasn't there during set up (for obvious reasons), but everything went up without a hitch! I almost cried when I saw how beautiful the blooms looked on our wedding arch especially! I could not be happier with the results!
Dorelle was absolutely awesome to work with! She made my wildest dreams come true! She took my ideas and ran with it. Everyone was astonished by how beautiful the arrangements were...
! I cannot thank her enough! Definitely making sure all my friends use her! Thank you so much!
This was probably the vendor that I am most grateful for on my wedding day. Leading up to the wedding I worked with Ellen via phone and email due to being from out of state. It was...
so easy to coordinate and work with her, as soon as I spoke with her I stopped looking for florists. The price for the quality of work that they provide is amazing. She made my vision come alive exactly how I saw it in my head. Since the only communication was over the phone and through inspiration pictures, and there was no way to actually see the finished product until the wedding day, I was understandably nervous about everything. However, I was blown away by the arrangements, bouquets, and boutonnieres that were provided. I received compliments from all of he guests on the arrangements at the wedding. Last minute my wedding had to be moved indoors due to rain and Ellen stayed to help decorate the archway and isle markers. I am extremely happy and grateful for this company's work!
I don't have enough good things to say about Brides N Blooms, and more specifically, Dorelle. I planned my destination wedding all online from afar and I am not a very creatively m...
inded person. So after speaking with several florists, I was annoyed. They just didn't get what I wanted and tried to change my vision. Not Dorelle. After our first conversation she completely understood what I wanted and ran with it!! She was honest and told me that some of my ideas wouldn't look great (thank you! You were right!) but she let me shine through wherever I wanted. Dorelle and Brides n Blooms went above and beyond for our beach ceremony and tented reception. Her response time was impeccable and she treated me as if she was decorating her own daughter's wedding! I could feel how much she cared that our day was absolutely perfect. When I met her for the first time it was like I was meeting a great friend I'd known forever! 15/10 recommend booking Brides n Blooms. Everything turned out better than I could have dreamed!!! Thank you Brides N Blooms, thank you Dorelle!! <3
Brides N Blooms created the floral arrangements for our beach wedding in July, and we had such a great, stress-free experience working with Ellen and Dorelle. They had wonderful su...
ggestions for the types of flowers as well as colors that would complement our wedding party colors, and the final products were absolutely stunning. My bouquet was the perfect match for my dress, and the bridesmaids loved theirs as well. The boutonnieres for the groomsmen were classic and elegant, and they even created a small boutonniere for our two-year-old son. Everything they created was expertly crafted and clearly done with love and a great attention to detail. I highly recommend Brides N Blooms for creating the perfect floral arrangements for your big day!

y. Our bouquets were gorgeous and the bouts for the guys matched their beach wedding outfits perfectly. Ellen suggested our ring bearer wear a lollipop bout. At first I was hesitant but went along with it. I’m glad I did because it looked so cute on him and he loved it! The corsages for our mothers and grandmother were tastefully done as well. And our sweetheart table arrangement..oh my gosh, it was gorgeous!! All of the flowers were so vibrant and look fantastic in our videos and pictures. I’m so happy I opted for real flower arrangements instead of the fake bouquets I was originally looking at. Thank you so much Ellen! You are such a sweet lady and I’m so glad you were part of our beach wedding dream team.
Dorelle is great! Her communication and openness to help with how to work the flowers was amazing! Slight issue with timing and delivery, but everything looked amazing in the end.
Great designs and did everything perfectly for my wedding! I definitely recommend Dorelle and her team :)

our meeting off. Dorelle understand my vision very clearly, but was also very courteous when talking to my mom and I regarding realistic ideas. She was very concerned about providing what I wanted, but also utilizing our budget very wisely. The personalism within her is absolutely amazing. She delivered my flowers the day of, and when guests arrived they were absolutely stunned at the beauty of it all! The venue that we had reserved had never had this florist do work at their facility before, but kindly took her information to recommend to future brides. Absolutely amazing experience working with her! It seemed like all of the littlest details mattered to her, and she spent the time to even ask if there were any other vendors I needed, which is how we got in touch with our amazing cake pop gal we used. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, DORELLE!!!!
