Burke & Haas Always in Bloom

s can be a stressful part of planning a wedding, because where do you even begin and what do you like? But not with Sue. She is so patient and really listened to my ideas and vision, while also presenting examples on the spot of how to bring it to fruition! This gave me full confidence that we were the right match to create something truly magical! Sue and her team created the elegant and whimsical mood I was wanting for our summer wedding!! When we walked into our reception, I was BLOWN AWAY by the beauty she created! The pampas grass was flowing, roses were vibrant, the crystal centerpieces gleaming - the vibe was dreamy :-) And the details - thistle in the bridesmaids bouquets, the dripping amaranthus in our centerpieces, my gorgeous cascade bouquet of calla lilies and roses , bunny tails in the boutonnieres. Perfection!! As a bride planning a wedding from out of town, her flexibility and willingness to always make time for a conversation or an in-person meeting when in town made this process seamless for me! Look no further, they are a dream team!

d have imagined from my moodboarding. As I found myself looking at my bouquet and the flowers on my wedding day and then during the days after, I kept finding new and different flowers or other elements I hadn’t noted before. I loved that! There was a so much in each arrangement to discover. Sue is an expert and artist when it comes to flowers! My husband and I, along with my Grandma, walked into Always in Bloom early in our planning, to get an idea of what was possible. As soon as we sat down, Sue did a full consultation with us, showing us her books of previous weddings/arrangements and looking through our inspiration photos. As we talked, I noted that we’d like to do seasonal flowers if possible for our September wedding. Looking through the flower books to getting a sense of what we liked/didn’t like, I was in awe of Sue’s knowledge of flowers. It was incredible to see her identify photos and rattle off their seasonality and when/if we might be able to get them for my wedding. After this meeting, Sue then worked with us to meet our budget. She was super flexible and assured us we could have a beautiful set of flowers for the price point we were working toward. A month or so after we met, while we were working toward our quote, COVID hit. We ended up postponing our wedding from Sept. 2020 to Sept. 2021. Sue was great to work with during the pandemic. Whenever I called, she had my quote and flower plan on hand. I’ll also note that we were planning the wedding remote from NYC, so I really appreciated Sue’s flexibility, availability, and clarity throughout the whole process. An expert florist, Sue can take your starting ideas and make them into something you couldn’t believe was possible. Have a chat with her and then let her work her magic! She does just extraordinary work.

initely worth it. She even incorporated some of my mom's and grandma's wedding dresses into the bouquets. Everything was absolutely gorgeous!

't have been happier with the end results. They provided every bridesmaids a bouquet, groomsmen their boutonnieres, and decorated our centerpieces with greenery and baby's breath. They were kind and professional, despite all of our COVID changes. We can't recommend them enough!

ful, and picture-worthy day possible! Sue Haas-Colonello and her team are so talented and professional. During our initial consultation, Sue helped walk us through selecting flowers/arrangements and really got an understanding of our likes and dislikes. She took our visions and turned them into a reality- which truly made me feel like princess in a fairy tale on the day of our wedding. Our theme was English Garden! Due to COVID, we needed to make some last minute changes in regards to the location and seating arrangements. The shop was very understanding and assured us we were in good hands...which we were! Everything turned out perfect! Thank you so much Burke & Haas Always in Bloom. My husband and I are so grateful for everything you did for us. The details, intricate bouquets, high and low flower arrangements, decorated welcome mirror, sweetheart table arbor...the list could go on and on were all breathtaking! We are so happy that we chose you and I highly recommend your shop to any bride planning her wedding!!!

wedding flowers going into the consultation, but Sue completely understood what I was asking for and was able to make great suggestions. As the wedding date approached, especially due to covid, I had to call to make slight alterations to not only the number of arrangements, but the delivery location. Again because of covid, these alterations are what I would consider last minute. Sue could not have been more understanding and helpful! The flowers were delivered to the wedding venue very well marked, organized, and picture perfect. I could not have been happier with the quality of the flowers, punctuality of the delivery, or the arrangements themselves.

Also, Sue made a flower arrangement for the cocktail room that didn’t end up working out but she thought quick on her feet and it served as the perfect arrangement for our sweetheart table which also ended up being on of my favorite pieces. Sue totally got my vision and exceeded my expectations! Everything was so beautiful and I am still getting compliments! My sister is getting married in August and she did not hesitate in booking Alawys in Bloom! Sue is an expert at what she does and I would recommend her to anyone.

t I was looking for. The end result was so perfect; everything I had described she was able to bring to life and our flowers couldn't have looked any more beautiful.

had in stock to help me visualize. On our wedding day the bouquets were delivered on time and were beautifully wrapped in ribbon. They even had added bling and glitter which I loved and was not expecting. Overall, they did such great job on our flowers!

g. After spending hours taking photos for them, I sent them over and never received a reply. 3 weeks later when I followed up about my photos they said they never received them and to resend. The original message had text in the body eluding to photos below meaning they didn't read the email, or care to follow up. After resending photos for a third time, I asked for confirmation that the photos were received and never got a reply. It's been about 3 months now so they clearly don't want my business. I was not shopping around for a florist and they were my first choice. I wasted a lot of precious time in the wedding planning process holding out to use them, but at the end of the day it was poor business practices that had me looking elsewhere.

find that now a days. Highly recommend.

AFFORDABLE. Definitely would recommend to any bride out there!

vorite things about the whole day. The flowers were evergreens with roses, calla lilies, gardenias, and freesia. They are incredibly talented and are perfect if you are in need of Christmas/winter, vintage, and glamorous flowers for your big day! Considering the time of year (December 12th) they were very reasonable and so easy to work with!

stened to my ideas and helped me to come up with a color scheme and look that I realized was exactly what I wanted!! I live close to the shop which was lucky for me, and the owner was always so gracious and helpful when I would (frequently) and unexpectedly drop in. She was there for me through the whole process, and didn't bat an eye every time I changed my mind about things, which was frequent! I was lucky enough to see a little preview of our flowers the day before our wedding, and it instantly melted all my stress and anxiety from the day away. I knew the flowers would be beautiful, but I wasn't expecting them to be as gorgeous and stunning as they were! They were one of my very favorite parts of our wedding! They looked wonderful in the church, with the bridesmaids dresses, and at the reception, and my bouquet was extra special! :) Whenever I need flowers again I will definitely be going here and recommending them to everyone I know! Thank you for making our wedding that much more beautiful!! Allison and Eric G.

d loved loved the flowers and would use Always in Bloom again in an instant.
