College Park Flowers

IT! We could not have been more pleased. Absolutely 10/10!!!

il was inconsistent which led to the initial contract that we agreed on in person being somehow changed without my knowledge or my wedding planners knowledge. On my wedding day I found this out which was honestly devastating. Even emails I sent a week before my wedding asking for a few of the florals moved to other places in the venue, when they arrived to set up the florals I was told they were never given this information. The florals that were provided were beautiful, but when you are expecting a certain vision only to find out the day of that there are many missing parts from the contract, it was very upsetting. I did not feel like they cared to make anything right or to try to mediate the situation in any way either. Overall, the florals they provide are beautiful but their communication is lacking as a vendor and business, especially for such important events such as a wedding.

minute— great communicators and so kind and helpful!

ed me with the florals. She was awestricken on her wedding day at all of the arrangements and the breathtaking head table!! Aimee also found some beautiful roses that almost looked peonies, since they were not in season yet to create the most beautiful bridal bouquet! The venue was magical with all of the beautiful flowers. I highly recommend College Park Flowers for your future wedding!

anted, in record time and still offered a great price. She was optimistic and DELIVERED! We were so lucky to have our coordinator recommend her in a pinch.

't like. Well College Park read my mind and created the most beautiful wedding flowers! They were stunning and completely made the event. I literally carried as many arrangements as I could around Texas with me after the wedding when we were spending time with family. Amazing work!

d definitely recommend her for your florals!

en I walked in to the venue the day of my wedding and saw how beautifully everything was put together, not to mention the entire venue smelled like fresh flowers! Amie is a true artist and visionary! We even decided at the last minute to get married outside and build an outdoor arch and she helped with that detail and made it happen without any hiccups. Amie and her team really made our vision come to life that day! Amie also had several meetings with us to review our decor and work with us on our budget. I highly recommend booking with College Park Flowers, they truly transformed the venue into a floral fairytale!

display of flowers and rental furniture. They did it on time and within our budget and were very professional. They accommodated the brides vision and understood the requirements of the venue and church.

ry detail and captures exactly the mood and look you are going for. She makes the planning process so enjoyable and really listens to what you want. At both weddings, people were in awe of the florals and deservingly so. Flowers really set the tone for a wedding and are one of the most photographed things there so make sure you hire the best and that’s College Park.

nderstand terminology, the process, and find the right vibe for what I was looking for. They have a wide inventory for centerpiece items that aren't just florals, which made it very convenient to go through just vendor for candles, an arch for our ceremony, and other pieces. They were flexible with meeting virtually in order to talk about the wedding, and they were quick to respond to email inquiries. Their work absolutely helped to make our wedding look very classy and professional.

to deliver. When I needed to cut costs, other florists said I’d need to settle on less. Amie made suggests for swapping out flowers to get me the same look, but within my budget. She even came though with my favorite flower when it wasn’t even in season! When I mentioned to Amie that I wanted a cool, modern, black structure at the alter she made it for me! When I told her my three year old flower girl would need a walker to get down the aisle, she came up with the most beautiful plan to dress it up! She even came through for me when I asked her last minute to do the florals for my rehearsal dinner! Amie and the team at College Park Flowers well exceeded all of my exceptions! I am so thankful I had College Park Flowers on my team for the most special day! Look no further, this is your florist!

worked with us on budget, vision, implementation, changes, and scheduling. When we wanted to change a few things, she worked hard to incorporate those changes and surpassed any and all expectations. I honestly had no idea that the floral design would be more beautiful in reality than in my head. More compliments were given to the floral design than any other aspect of the wedding. PLEASE hire Amy for any wedding you may be planning. Ask for pictures of Grace's wedding to see for yourself the talent and vision that she created. She was able to move most of the floral from outside at the ceremony and incorporate them inside for reception. She basically created a masterpiece of the space. We made the best decision hiring College Park Flowers, and I really think Amy's talent and vision would be a blessing to any bride's wedding.

y to contact for any questions/concerns and even were up for a couple additions just a few days before the wedding. Would highly recommend!

us bring our vision to life and executed it with perfection. The guests raved about how beautifully the flowers complimented the tone of the wedding and the venue. Their talent is amazing and they are absolute professionals. Florals give guests their first impression and College Park will not disappoint. Thank you for making my daughters wedding so very special!

to postpone our wedding because of COVID, and Amie was flexible and accommodated us on the new date. On the day of the wedding, her staff delivered the bouquets and boutonieres to the hotel which was very convenient. I do wish we would have been able to meet Amie in person and do our consultation at her studio, but that was limited due to COVID. Thank you Amie and team!

ribed what I wanted she immediately pulled up pictures of different types of flowers that would work, drew a sketch when I didn't have something pinned on Pinterest, and put together a vision board to help me picture it all. When there were some missed loose florals on some of the tables, the team drove back to fix it on the wedding day. Everything came together beautifully.

oral process for the wedding very early on in wedding planning and thankfully so due to the covid-19 pandemic which caused some postponements and delays. While the chaos of the pandemic was out of our control I still encountered some disappointments that I would not consider COVID related. For my bridal portraits, I happened to call Amie a couple days prior to follow up with my bouquet for the pictures and she did not have my portraits scheduled. Therefore no bouquet was expected, even though we had been emailing about my portrait dates. Thankfully I did reach out, but I would have appreciated a follow up on her end to confirm when my portraits were if she was unclear. For the wedding day, I hired additional personnel to provide decor for the ceremony and Amie was to provide the greenery/florals. Despite how many times I had communicated and the other vendor had communicated with her, the ceremony was missing greenery on the altar table that displayed our taper candles. It was not the end of the world by any means, and Amie very graciously made it up to us by providing florals after the wedding, but it gets back to the communication and organization skills of being a business owner. I know Amie has a great talent. I witnessed her talent at the reception, the florals were beautiful, but hopefully just some constructive criticism by someone who very seldom writes reviews will come from this.

d with us every step of the way, even when we had to move our date and make numerous changes. She has the expertise to help guide you as you plan your event, and can provide so much more than just florals! She has plenty of non-floral items such as candles, vases, votives etc. so you can consider her a one-stop-shop to bring any event to life! We cannot recommend her enough!

perfect alternative! She was easy to work with, understood what I was looking for, and made changes as we needed. If I’m ever in need of a florist for an event in the future, Amie will be my first pick!

put together something better than I could have imagined! I loved the bouquets for me and my bridesmaids. Aimee provided three quotes so we could choose what we wanted at three different prices, and allowed us to remove or add on certain things. We booked her a little over a month before the wedding and could not have been happier. Also for ladies getting married at The Farmhouse in Montgomery, she did the chandeliers for free! It really made the place stand out!

ad for my wedding: ivory and pops of soft pink with cascading phalo orchids, roses, and hydrangeas. The two things I wasn’t willing to negotiate on was a floral arch for the ceremony (Amie made it a hoop, so more flowers, rounder, and even more photogenic) and a flower wall backdrop for the reception all while sticking to my budget. It was a challenge because all the other floral vendors quoted me over my budget and only tried to work it down once they didn’t get a response from me. I had about 6 months left before the wedding when I was looking for a florist so I was serious about entering a contract. Amie was the only one that told me that my floral budget is quite nice and roomy enough that she can definitely make what I envision become a reality with only minor adjustments. Amie is an utmost professional at the top of her game! She’s had a lot of experience being a florist. She’s extremely easy to work with. Not only is she personable, she understood the look and feel of what I wanted for my wedding right away. After our first meeting together, my husband and I were absolutely certain she would be the one we would be using for our flowers. Amie is very genuine, she didn’t try to up sell or act like our wedding date is too popular and if we wait, she’ll be booked, this was something that I felt was rare after meeting with a lot of wedding vendors. On our wedding day in January 2020, Amie was the first vendor to show up and get started on everything. The amount of detail and hard work she put in blew us away. My husband and I couldn’t have asked for more, Amie’s work truly exceeded our expectations. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting our beautiful flowers and taking pictures with the flower wall and hoop. Amie played a major part in making our special day what it was and we can’t thank her enough!

liments on the flowers. They were incredibly accommodating and flexible to changes I needed to make throughout the process. I felt the price was well worth what I received. The only comment I would tell a bride is that communication via email took a few days sometimes. They always got back to me but sometimes an anxious bride is looking for same day communication. Support this female-lead, working mom business, you won't regret it!

g at all like what we discussed. The color of the flowers, the shape of the bride’s bouquet, and the centerpieces were all wrong. We tried contacting College Park after our wedding and never heard back. You can imagine how sad it is to be excited in your wedding day, only to be given a product that was nothing like you imagined or paid for! Can not recommend this company at all!

one bone to pick is that I did not like my bouquet really at all. It was not at all what I asked for. I asked for loose, romantic and wide and somehow ended up with a tight ball of flowers that looked like it came from a grocery store. I was so disappointed and had plans to preserve my bouquet, but I ended up just throwing it away. It looked like a bridesmaid bouquet. Just sucks because everything else was wonderful. The setup, pickup, the delivery guys, etc. I just hated my bouquet, which of course was the most photographed out of all the flowers...I would still recommend them but would have them make me a bouquet a few weeks before to ensure it's what you want.

d – her work is very classic and timeless, even if you are envisioning something on-trend. My mother and I developed a vision board on Pinterest, which Amie reviewed with us during our planning meeting. She understood what we were looking for immediately and was patient and professional through all of our questions. When it came to our wedding day, Amie and her team made everything look like a FAIRYTALE. The florals were phenomenal – perfect colors, blooms were timed perfectly, and smelled amazing. We received many compliments from guests. My husband and I were floored by the final product. Thank you for making our dreams come true! Highly recommend!!

timated!

seemed to intuitively grasp our vision of the day. The flowers she chose were amazing, all my guests were talking about them. And she just went above and beyond. She ordered the cherry blossoms three weeks out so that she could make sure they bloomed at the right time for our wedding, I don't think I can ask for anything more from a person than that. It was spectacular. All the bouquets all the flowers, everything was just top notch and beautiful. And to top it all off, she was incredibly easy to work with.

tivity and product knowledge.

with consistent excellence so I've come to expect nothing less from them. When I saw that Amy's home and vehicle had flooded and she was still committing herself to the wedding she had scheduled just days after the flood, it just reminded me once again of their unique excellence and professionalism. Amy was in a position where others would have canceled and left their client without flowers or resources. But despite the challenges the flood created for her and the entire city and wedding industry, she dedicated herself to delivering the best that Houston's wedding industry could have delivered. And now you know that hiring College Park Flowers means that even if the owners home and delivery truck are flooded, even if the city Houston and its surrounding areas are flooded... College Park Flowers will still deliver the best possible to your wedding day!

own her to be hard-working and professional. Despite having suffered as she did as a result of Harvey, she still did absolutely everything in her power to ensure that the flowers at your daughters wedding were as good as they could be given the timing and circumstances. She would never deliver a product that wasn't quality if she had any control over it. Amie always puts her best foot forward, and I can't wait to have her do any events I might have or recommend her to friends. Rick & Ro, your review is unfair and you really should be ashamed of yourselves for posting such selfish nonsense when you were perfectly aware of the state of the city as well as Amie's personal circumstances.

for my client's event. She kept in communication with me the entire week before as she discovered what availability of flowers she'd have, given the circumstances. She truly jumped through hoops to provide the absolute best flowers possible! I am so grateful to work with such a wonderful vendor who goes the extra mile for their client, even at the expense of their own well-being in such a devastating time.

n Houston were closed, food was not being delivered- nothing but emergency supplies and they are complaining because the flowers at their wedding were not what they expected???? At least she showed up and did the best she could with what was available. Most people who had just lost everything and almost lost their life would not have shown up at all!!! Talk about me, me, me, it's all about me!!!

eview knowing that she was indeed lucky to have floral at all since the airports were closed and deliveries are still not back on track. As for the ribbon being wet, hello they’re flowers, just because it’s a Bouquet doesn’t mean it can survive without water. Totally selfish. Kudos Amie. Best wishe to your family as you rebuild after Harvey.

d the point. While their florist lost their home, their belongings, and spent the week after this clients wedding throwing her life on the curb, she showed up and did everything she could to provide flowers for a wedding in the middle of a tragedy. I don't know about anyone else, but I am going to give her a big high-five! This terrible client is consumed that their flowers weren't perfect. I don't even get how one could be so entitled. Dude, I get it...you want it to be perfect. But, a really shitty storm took down the 4th largest city. But, you know what, she didn't give up. Rick and Ro:: If you have not heard about the trillions of water on our soil, I employ you to do so. If you have not help a person in need, I empower you to do so. If you have not had a chance to hug someone who has lost everything, here is your chance. You know what you had, a person that worked really hard to provide you something in the middle is the largest castopraphy to hit our nation in years. While she could have completely canceled, taken care of her well being, and her community, she struggled to do the very best for you in a terrible situation. Honestly, I would give her thanks for trying. I would stand beside her any day. She put you first. I think owe an apology. I hope that any future client can see through this hateful and unrealistic review. It is people like Amiee that rise to the top and try to make their clients day the very best.

was Hurricane Harvey? How about the massive flooding and thousands of displaced flood victims (including your florist)? Rescheduling was a viable option when you were told the supply chain was cut due to closed transportation routes and closed airports. I mean, really? Were you truly disconnected from reality? My review: My wedding flowers were stunning. I gave Amie a very general idea of my preferences and she created arrangements and bouquets that went above and beyond my expectations. I am so happy I gave her creative license!!

ony, and MOST important the Brides Bouquet. The florist sent to set up for the wedding did not know the details of the plans that had been made. Some of the arrangements for the ceremony were not even provided even though I had paid for them. When the florist walked into the Bride's room to deliver the bouquets, my daughter's heart sank at the sight of wilted flowers, soaking wet ribbons around the stems, and a Bride's Bouquet that in no way matched the price that had been paid. Poor communication on Amie's part was disappointing, especially when she knew that the events of Hurricane Harvey would prevent her from providing the quality flowers that we thought her shop was capable of. I would appreciate it if Amie would send a beautiful bouquet to my daughter that is worthy of the price that was paid for her bridal bouquet so that she could experience the joy of a beautiful bouquet with fresh flowers.

to finding her. She was able to put together exactly what I wanted, including helping us secure items that we needed for our Hindu ceremony as well as building the Mandap/Altar that we used in both ceremonies. The flowers were gorgeous and exactly what I imagined. She was SO helpful with the last minute planning, as well as with the fact that I was long-distance planning and was even able to provide the vases and other items that served as center pieces.

e choose beautiful flowers for my centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres. They listened to all of my ideas and produced exactly what I was envisioning! Communication the weeks leading up to the wedding as well as on the day of the wedding was excellent. I HIGHLY recommend College Park Flowers!

gorgeous venue that provides delicious food and first class service. Yes, it is a little pricier than other venues, but reduce the guest list to afford it because it’s worth it. Hire Aimee at College Park Flowers, who went the extra mile for us to transport flowers from the church to La Colombe d’Or so that they would be used again for table settings. Hire Erin Anderson for photography, who is a no-nonsense professional who surveyed the sites in advance to prepare for the most advantageous shots. Hire Allen of Allen Hill Entertainment who will meet with the Bride and Groom to select a band of their liking. Then he will meet the band at the venue to make sure they are ready to go. Hire Carlos Estela to create a delicious macaron tower instead of the wedding cake. Finally, enjoy the Bride’s special day by hiring Kelly Balforth of Eventology to coordinate all your plans with these wonderful vendors. Kelly was recommended to me by another bride who had interviewed six wedding planners before hiring her and, yes, she was my “angel of mercy” throughout the wedding day and made sure every detail was executed to perfection. Thank you Kelly!

anning process. They set up before and cleaned up after the wedding. Our guests loved the flowers so much I don't think we had any leftover after the wedding. Thank you College Park!!
