Rob was the last of 3 florist I visited and received quotes from. Immediately, you could tell that Rob really knew what he was doing. He was great at discussing with me pro and cons of the flower choices for the look I wanted and the budget I needed. He really put everything together very well at our first meeting and I felt like he knew exactly what I was looking for. Between myself, my mother and the groom to be, we went back and forth a few times on some of the design elements and even had the layout of our ballroom changed 3 times, thus changing the florals for the tables. Rob and Paige were great at helping me through these changes. I knew they were super busy and there were a few times I had a hard time hearing back from them, however, I was never worried they wouldn't put something amazing together! Everything was SOOOO beautiful for my wedding. I couldn't have been happier and more importantly my mother loved what Rob did! It was exactly how I had envisioned it. Just beautiful. They really have a great team and were a pleasure to work with!
This is one of the hardest vendors to have. Flowers cost more than you think and if you want them,especially done really well, that’s the bottom line. As you’ll read, Rob has a lot of five star reviews - with myself being the latest. That’s because his work is outstanding without question. I was married in a large space that could be hard to decorate on a budget and Rob made that happen. I liked that EIB also doesn’t just do flowers - they had my tablecloths -and nearly all my other rentals (unique tables, decorations, etc) which gave our wedding a personalized touch and brought the vision true. Also because he has so many great different types of things, I saved the hassle of having to deal with (and pay delivery fees on) too many different vendors. He provides mockups of his ideas, floor designs, etc. He took a considerable time with me. In the not so great review below, there’s a few themes and I’m going to touch on these because I think their is some misunderstanding on the bridal part. Some things I had to learn. First,Rob is not just a florist - he’s a designer. Therefore he’s going to recommend what he thinks creates the vision and it’s up to you to decide if you like that, want to add to it or takeaway. You communicate a budget, his first proposal will likely be well over that but that’s only to show you all possibilities and then decide what to keep or subtract. Believe me, I got to my number and was surprised when I saw the full vision from Rob, how when my ideas from Pinterest were all put together and laid out with Robs, some places where I thought I really wanted to allocate money - I didn’t. It’s really hard to have these conversations and revelations if you tell him exactly what to do and don’t let him design — to discuss it. Secondly, you can have multiple meetings but they need to be scheduled. He’s either busy with clients in store, at and event or designing. I had absolutely no issues communicating with him and when we did talk, I had his full attention which I fully appreciate. So for all these reasons, I’d choose Rob easily again. Extremely talented and passionate about his works and clients - and it certainly showed at our wedding.
They turned my vision in to a dream wedding!! You could never be disappointed working with them.
AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL.... To any one thinking of going with Rob and Events in Bloom, run the other direction. To list a few things, he went back on his word, dodged phone calls, made excuses, and implemented and enforced inequitable contractual provisions,literally taking money for zero work at all. In my opinion, that makes him a crook. STAY AWAY AND TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. HORRIBLE SERVICE, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, HORRIBLE ETHICS for an OVERALL HORRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTCE!
Rob is awesome! They know what they are doing and will accommodate your every vision! Very classy and creative! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a amazing florist!
Rob and Events in Bloom did floral, rental and decor services for my October 2014 wedding. They're very friendly and professional. I had two long meetings with Rob to brainstorm and develop the decor for my wedding. I appreciated his candor and eye for design.
I will say I was somewhat disappointed with my bridal bouquet. I had told Rob twice in person and sent him at least two emails with details of what I wanted. Day of our wedding my bouquet was smaller than I wanted and contained a flower that I did not like. Rob came back to the church and removed the unwanted flowers from the bouquet.
A friend of mine had recommended that I order a test bouquet. I wish I had done that and would recommend other brides to do it. Other than that I was happy with the rentals, other flowers, and decor.
I got to work with the owner, Rob. He was the only florist/artist that got the concept of a Dutch Masters wedding. Most florist have tightly bound flowers but I wanted elegant free flowing and he produced. He even was able to add the bits of fruits I wanted for additional texture. He was the only one that had the vases and tea lighting that I was looking for. I will say that I made it very hard on myself because I did not want to make it look like event flower but more like a painting. He got it! I really want to give them five stars across the charts but I cant. After everyone started to leave they came in and started taking all the arrangements. We had already had plans to have them taken back to my home for the day after party. Once we explained they only took back the parts we rented. To leave it on a positive note Rob was great at keeping the price down and getting exactly what I wanted. Oh and I was having problems getting in touch with him do to work scheduling so he gave me his personal line so we could work that way. Oh and they have spectacular selections.
Rob Smith and the Events In Bloom team are absolutely FABULOUS!!!! Rob knows how to take every detail and every dream you have ever wanted or imagined and make it a reality. He is patient, creative beyond belief, extremely talented and so much fun to work with. My wedding was on January 4th, 2014 and there is not a single thing that Rob did not think of - his attention to detail was incredible. From the flower arrangements on the tables to the furniture and decor - everything was perfect. I had extremely high expectations for my big day and Rob no doubt exceeded them. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Rob and Events In Bloom and I will use any excuse I have to work with him in the future. I will forever recommend Rob and Events In Bloom to every person I know getting married, having a baby shower or even a fabulous birthday party. He is what made my wedding the wedding I had always dreamed of. Perfection is the only way to describe his work. I love Rob and his team!!!
Rob Smith is a magician! He made my dream wedding come to life! He was so incredible and easy to work with and made every meeting fun and creative. His team is over the top and the quality of his work is by far the best in Houston. He is such a dear person and puts so much love into his work. He took my vision and multiplied it into something I never knew was possible. He made everything so much fun and was such a pleasure to work with. Thank you Rob for putting your heart and soul into my wedding and for your lasting friendship!!! Xoxo
Wow! Rob Smith and the entire Events In Bloom team are fantastic! Rob's combination of talent, style, and taste helped create a unique and beautiful look for our wedding and reception. Rob was respectful of our budget, patient with me and my family, and best of all- fun to work with.
I am a very visual person and had trouble imagining how everything would look in the event space. Every time we met with Rob he had mock ups and examples of different options ready for me to see. When we began planning I only had a few ideas of what I liked and he turned them into something I couldn't have imagined!
I really could not have asked for a better experience.
Rob Smith is a GENIUS. He is creative beyond words; and, I would trust him to do any and all things that require floral/decor expertise.
My daughter and I immediately clicked with Rob at our first meeting. At our second meeting, I was there to decide which vendor I was going to use for my daughter's wedding. I felt so comfortable with Rob, that I paid a deposit that night and cancelled my appointment with the other vendor. WE NEVER LOOKED BACK!
It became perfectly clear that Rob becomes invested in the bride and her day from day one. He wants her day to be special; and, with that in mind, he uses his creative genius to create a comprehensive design that is unlike any other. (I can only imagine how tough it must be to put a new spin on the same old venues and flower selections!) You will not be sorry if you work with Rob and his amazing crew at Events in Bloom! EIB stands out from the rest. I promise.
My husband and I got married on Oct. 26, 2013. Our wedding planner, Sydney with Keely Thorne Events, helped us look at florists. Once we met with Rob with EIB and we knew that he understood the style we were going for and felt very comfortable with using him for our floral/decor. I immediately loved his unfinished wood tables and all his vases and decor in their store. Thanks to them our wedding turned out beautifully. The flowers were stunning. We used the unfinished wood tables combined with some round tables and different height arrangements. He also hung greenery from the alcove above the dance floor with hanging candles. It was amazing. the church arrangements were amazing as well. Our guest couldn't and can't stop complementing us on how beautiful the event was. It was was exactly what I dreamed it would be (and more). Rob and the EIB team did an great job (along with my awesome wedding planner, Sydney). You can just tell Rob has a passion for floral and that he loves his work. If your looking for a florist I would 100% recommend them. My flowers were amazing... from the church to the reception he did a truly amazing job! Thanks Rob and team!!!
My experiences with Events in Bloom are great.
I hired them by the recommendation of my good friend and I do not regret it at all. They professionally took care of all my flowers and all decoration for my wedding and I was really satisfied with the results. My wedding was beautiful, elegant and really special only thanks to them.
Working with EIB Staff was easy and great. They were very helpful and we had good communication as well. They wanted to please all my wishes and requirements, including innumerable trifles. They stayed in my budget as well, which was great.
If you wish to have a really wonderful wedding, I recommend you to let them all concerns about flowers and decorations!
I'll start by saying Rob from Events in Bloom is extremely creative and talented and his design skills are unbelievable. However, my experience working with him over a 16 month time period was not great. He met with me 3 times to help me bring my floral and decor vision to life. Well after coming up with such great ideas, I wanted to know what it would cost me. After the first meeting I put down a deposit and he sent a bogus price quote. Each meeting thereafter I would not hear from Rob and his team. I'd leave phone messages and emails regarding a updated price quote and I got no response back from Rob or his team. From a bride's point of view this is just not a good sign or feeling. It is unacceptable customer service! The behavior Rob displayed left me feeling unsettled. You feel like, "Will he get it right on the wedding day?" "Did he listen to my vision? Will he remember my vision on wedding day?" So many negative thoughts were going through my head. I didn't get an updated quote on flowers and decor until a week and a half before my wedding. At this point, you should be getting a FINAL quote. No, I was just getting an updated quote and my wedding planner worked with him on the week of to get a final quote. I was historical. I had no idea what I was paying my florist.
The end result was beautiful, but if you want peace of mind, you may want to go with another vendor who will get you a reasonable quote and communicate with you every step of the way. If you plan to spend thousands of dollars, you deserve this - you deserve quality customer service!
I am so glad that I went with Rob Smith. He is an artist and knows exactly what you want. Denica, his assistant is very helpful and responsive. From our first meeting, Rob made me feel comfortable that everything will be taken cared of. Everyone at the wedding raved about how beautiful the flowers were and couldn't wait to take them home. Best decision ever! Great value for the service offered as compared to other florists in town who don't even return phone calls.
Rob was so kind and so creative. He met with us multiple times and had incredible vision. Our flowers were beautiful and really created the perfect backdrop for our wedding!
My husband and I hired Events in Bloom for our wedding a month ago and everything turned out amazing! Events in Bloom did my sister's wedding about 5 years ago and it turned out perfect, so Events in Bloom was the only flower place I even called. Rob is such a pleasure to work with and he is so creative. Rob arranged the flowers and furniture for our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and the dancing afterwards. Everything turned out better than we even dreamt it could and we are so happy with everything. I highly recommend Rob and Events in Bloom.
We didn't use them for our florist but we did have a meeting with them. They were for one late to meet with us and them pretty much told us our ideas were stupid. We kept going through the meeting and were suppose get a quote from them within two weeks, we never heard anything back so I didn't bother to call.
Unresponsive, Rude, unprofessional. Dorris laughed and hung up on me when I expressed my frustration with the lack of communication. My wedding planner warned me about them and I should have taken her advice. It doesn't matter how good you are, if you treat your customers like that, I don't want to and won't do business with you. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Rob is so creative and dedicated to each job he does! We met with him several times and he always went the extra mile to make sure he was on the same page as me. Ultimately, his vision was spot-on with what I wanted and the evening was beautiful!
