Absolutely the best florist you could ever hire for your wedding/special event!! From start to finish Mary Jo made sure everything was taken care of and exactly how I wanted it. Super reasonable pricing, and stunning work, highly recommend!

Tristan and I got married on 4/1/23 and we planned for 2 YEARS! In that planning process our Wedding Planner was strategic in matching us with the perfect Vendors for our perfect day! When we saw Mary Jo’s work we were blown! Not only is Mary Jo’s floral arrangements beautiful and captivating, her eye for detail is unmatched! Mary Jo treated Tristan and I like royalty! She created clear and concise timelines; exact details with images to see our vision unfold right in front of our eyes! Mary Jo, if I could get married everyday I would choose YOU and your team each and every time! The flowers were absolutely stunning and it tied my day and event space together perfectly! My vision was “Romance in the Spring” and you did not miss! THANK YOU so much! If you need a florist for ANY event go see my girl Mary Jo and her team, you will not be disappointed!!!

Mary Jo was amazing to work with! From our first phone call I was impressed with her professionalism, willingness to work with my needs & wants, and was full of great ideas. She took my basic vision and offered so many great ideas, was able to achieve some of the harder parts of my vision, and provided the most stunning flowers for my wedding. She was able to achieve a lot on my limited budget and I appreciate her skill. They were breathtaking and one of my favorite elements of our wedding! I can't get over how beautiful they turned out and I'm so glad I went with Gloriosa!

Mary Jo’s design was perfect and budget friendly for our daughter’s wedding. She was flexible as plans evolved and always helpful to answer our questions.

I found Mary Jo through a Google search several months before our wedding. She had great reviews, and was very easy to get in touch with. The first time we met we sat down for over an hour discussing my wedding day vision. I showed her photos that I loved, some from her Instagram page, and she made my dreams come true. Our flowers were one of my favorite parts of the entire day, and we had so many compliments on how beautiful they were.

Mary Jo was amazing! She listened my vision and made it come to life. Everything turned out beautiful from all the bouquets to the centerpieces. Mary Jo was very professional and it was clear she has a passion for what she does. I felt so at ease working with her, I can’t recommend her enough!

Mary Jo did the BEST job with our wedding flowers!! She was super responsive, flexible with working with me to pick the right flower choices, and on our wedding day the flowers were PERFECT. We were so incredibly happy that we picked Gloriosa!! :)

Gloriosa was absolutely fabulous on our wedding day!! She makes sure you have everything you will need for your special day. The flowers are stunning and even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I would 10/10 recommend.

We were very pleased with everything! The flowers and venue setup were beautiful! The attention to detail was bar none! I would recommend Mary Jo and her staff to anyone who wants top notch service.

Absolutely gorgeous flowers and pieces she made for my wedding! She paid attention to the details and went above and beyond to make my day special.

I cannot recommend Gloriosa enough. Mary Jo is incredibly responsive, creative, and always delivers overall top quality service. I've worked with her for over half a decade on events at the Taubman Museum of Art and have always known Mary Jo to commit 110% to make sure each event is uniquely special. From festivals to intimate dinners, she has an excellent eye and is collaborative in her approach to execute your exact vision. Thank you for everything, highly recommend!

Mary Jo with Gloriosa was wonderful to work with. I had a vague idea of what I wanted and Mary Jo worked with me and brought it to reality. All of the flowers turned out beautifully. She also did a great job setting up the flowers at the venue the day of the wedding. My cascading bouquet turned out exactly how I wanted it and was even more beautiful then I ever imagined. Mary Jo was super easy to work with and answered all of my questions and helped to adapt to our needs throughout the entire process.

Great florist. She really knows her stuff and provided outstanding arrangements! Better than I had hoped for!

Mary Jo was absolutely incredible to work with. She is flexible and easy to talk to. She has so many designs and ideas! Her flowers turned out absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. I highly recommend her to anyone!!!

Flowers and decorations were absolutely stunning. Mary Jo did an incredible job for our wedding!

We had a fall wedding and Gloriosa put together the perfect mix of burgundy and blush colors for a natural look! My cascading bouquet was everything I wanted and we had an amazing experience .

Mary Jo is very talented when it comes to making your flower dreams come true! I had a hard time visualizing what I wanted and she took her time in the office to show me examples of linens, flowers. She was extremely responsive via email or text message. Our flowers looked absolutely gorgeous and we received so many compliments on them, especially the arbor for our ceremony. You will not go wrong choosing her for your florist. I showed some examples to her of what I wanted and she definitely exceeded my expectations. My bouquet was amazing and the bridal party had beautiful flowers too. I am so lucky I found her because she was a huge help in the decor area and making my day even more beautiful.

Mary Jo was wonderful to work with. She helped me choose colors, design, and what would work best for my budget. She & her team made our event so special. Every piece was beautiful! Thank you Mary Jo!

Mary Jo was amazing! She was literally a second mom to me during this entire process. I would message her any time I had a thought and she was quick to respond and help me make decisions! She knew exactly how to put each detail together and turned my wedding into a dream! She not only helped me with my florals ( which I have no knowledge of) she also helped me piece together my tables and many other decor items! I can’t recommend her enough. Love her.

I highly recommend Mary Jo for your wedding florist! She brought my Pinterest dream wedding flower arrangements to life and worked with me on how to accomplish this while staying within my budget. I had to have several adjustments in dates and costs due to the pandemic but Mary Jo helped me each step of the way. It was clear that it mattered to her that I was happy and I truly felt how much she cared. When working with Mary Jo, you will not only get gorgeous flowers but also someone who will work with you each step of the way!!

Mary Jo with Gloriosa is a true professional and magic maker. She was extremely flexible and creative with our strict budget and listened carefully to my vision to create exactly what we wanted. She communicated frequently and kept me in the loop every step of the way. I highly recommend them for your wedding florals!

Mary Jo was so great! I inquired about her doing flowers for me pretty close to my wedding day and she quickly eased all my fears! I really had no idea what I wanted and she came up with a plan for mine and my bridesmaids flowers so quickly! She also did a beautiful arrangement for the arch for the ceremony and flowers for the ends of the aisles. I would definitely recommend her!!

Mary Jo was such a pleasure to work with. She did such a good job my flowers looked amazing and were exactly what I wanted!

Mary Jo with Gloriosa did an amazing job decorating and providing floral arrangements for our wedding and reception. She was very easy to work with, listened to our requests, and provided feedback on what would work best with our venue and wedding date. We had to make several updates to our original plan due to COVID and she remained flexible throughout the entire process. Everything provided was of the highest quality and we can’t recommend her enough.

Mary Jo was wonderful to work with for my daughter's wedding! On our first meeting, she led us through the process and choices with patience and evidence of years of experience and creativity. It was especially helpful to have photos of all the flowers she used and examples of combinations on her computer screen to show us as we made decisions. All the flowers/arrangements were stunningly beautiful and pulled the whole wedding together. They lasted well thru the whole day, staying fresh and lovely. It was helpful that she also rented linens in a large range of colors, votives, easels, and arbors and we took advantage of that convenience. We had a few last minute changes and she graciously accommodated them. Thank you, Mary Jo and Gloriosa!

Mary Jo and her team at Gloriosa were a dream to work with! When it came to wedding planning, the flowers seemed like one of the most intimidating parts since my husband and I are clueless when it comes to floral arrangements and didn't have a specific vision in mind. Mary Jo walked us through the entire process and everything turned out better than our wildest dreams. Every single detail was carefully thought through and everything looked incredible. I can't thank Mary Jo and her team enough for holding our hands through this process and helping to create the wedding of our dreams.

We absolutely loved working with Mary Jo; her expertise and professionalism were so vital to making our wedding such a flawless event!

Mary Jo is a delight to work with! I met her for the first time not knowing what to expect and really not knowing how to go about making my wedding exactly what I wanted. She answered all of my questions with patience and helped me with putting all of my ideas together to find my perfect vision for my wedding. She took care of all of the decorations for both my ceremony and reception. The results were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I had imagined. The only reason I give 4 rather than 5 stars is she did arrive to the location about an hour later than what she had told me. But, everything was right in place in plenty of time.

Maryjo is super detailed in her work and makes sure you get EXACTLY what you want in your floral arrangements! I had such a wonderful experience working with her and will definitely use her in the future for my floral needs!

Look no further than Gloriosa! Mary Jo was both extremely knowledgeable about flowers and what would look good where, she was amazing to work with. Made us feel right at home the instant we met her! Our flowers were amazing and we recieved so many compliments from our guests. She also was able to provide us with many other rentable items that saved us purchasing and therefore money in the long run. When our venue didn't have the appropriate table linens for their tables, she special ordered for us. She and her team are simply the place to go to make your floral and decorative dreams come true on your special day!

Mari Jo at Gloriosa was very easy to work with. She developed an outline of what I wanted for my wedding based on my favorite flowers and style. She was also very flexible and made sure last minute details were included in our big day. The bouquets and floral arrangements for our wedding were beautiful and exactly what we discussed!

Mary Jo of Gloriosa was truly amazing to work with for my wedding, she was able to take my vision and turn it into more than I could have imagined! She knew the name of every flower off the top of her head, gave me more ideas, and is so creative when it comes to flowers. She really was able to make my bouquet and floral arraignment’s into works of art! I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants something fun, different, and a statement for their event!

Mary Jo was the sweetest. Her rates are reasonable and she has so many choices. We went with all greenery and she helped to make our wedding truly beautiful.

I used Mary Jo for my October wedding, and she was fabulous from start to finish. She spent a lot of time making sure she understood my vision, but also made sure I was thoughtful and provided a lot of guidance through her expertise in floral arrangements. Fortunately, she was also familiar with my venue and was able to give specific guidance of what would work well there. When she gave me a proposal, the cost was higher than I was expecting, but she made time to sit and work with me to get the cost down without sacrificing elegance. Overall, I was very pleased with all the decorations on our special day and would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Mary Jo was truly a "god send" for our wedding. I'm not remotely good at picking flowers or reception details so it was so nice to have such a professional team member to make this day go off without a hitch. Our wedding reception theme?... May the Fourth Be With You. Mary Jo came up with the most detailed reception decorations - PEOPLE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT OUR WEDDING. I would absolutely recommend her - over and over again. She'll understand your vision and present you with options you never knew possible!

Mary Jo was so easy to work with. I sent her photos of what I wanted and she was able to recreate those and/or let me know if those flowers were in season to help us save money. Her prices are super affordable and the arrangements are amazing! I definitely recommend Mary Jo for all your different needs.

Absolutely wonderful! The flowers were so beautiful and were exactly what I wanted. She was great to work with and very patient with me since I didn’t understand some of the terminology when it came to bouquets and arrangements. I wish I could have kept the flowers forever.

Mary Jo was amazing to work with. She listened to my ideas, gave some great advice on how to make them better, and went above and beyond to make every piece incredible. Every single person I talked to on my wedding day commented on how amazing the flowers were, and I can see why! We also got our table rentals from Gloriosa which was one of the best decisions we made-so much easier than dealing with a bunch of other rental companies :-) I could not recommend Gloriosa enough!!

I was a super laid back bride. I told MJ the vision of sorts then she and her team made it happen! They were wonderful, highly reccommend! Have them clean up after your night so your guests don’t have to!

We are really happy we chose Mary Jo/Gloriosa to make our wedding flowers for our wedding this past September! She did a beautiful job! The bouquets were stunning - I mean, just absolutely gorgeous! She made the guy's bouts exactly how I had imagined. They were perfect! She also made a beautiful bridal flower crown, which held up throughout the night and fit great! Everything was fresh, the bouquets and bigger arrangements lasted for a good week or so after the wedding, and it all photographed extremely well. We also rented our linens, clear flowers vases, silver dessert platters, candelabras, and candles from Mary Jo. It was all just as described, arrived clean and on time, and really made everything that much better! On top of all that, she came to the rescue 2 days before our wedding and got my bouquet, flower crown, and my husband's bout to our wedding planner so she could bring it to us for pictures at the venue (Hurricane Flo was giving us major doubts about Saturday's weather (outdoor wedding), so we opted for photos on Thursday when the weather was clear)! We can't thank her enough for all her hard work to make our day as beautiful as we planned it to be! You're the best, Mary Jo!

Mary Jo was amazing with knowing what I wanted before I even knew I wanted it. I didn't have much of a vision for flowers, except I knew I wanted pumpkins. Well Mary Jo was able to run with this and figured out exactly what I wanted. I couldn't imagine anything better than what she was able to do.

Mary Jo did amazing work for our wedding. She is creative and has great solutions for issues we ran into at the venue! I couldn't have been happier with the arrangements and linens.

My flowers were beautiful, reasonably priced, and arranged perfectly. I was so happy with the way that Mary Jo works with you to ensure everything is just the way you want it to be for your big day. Her rentals are gorgeous as well- beautiful vases for my centerpieces.

Let me start off by saying, if you chose Gloriosa, you will not be disappointed! Prior to meeting with Mary Jo, I met with several local florist, who were either way outside my budget or didn't leave me feeling confident that they could deliver what I was looking for. My first meeting with Mary Jo far exceeded my expectations. She took time to listen to what I wanted, asked very detailed questions, had me look through pictures to help her get an idea of what I was looking for. When she sent the proposal it was very detailed and included pictures of the flowers she was going to use and even worked with me to ensure I stayed within my budget. I had an episode where I got nervous and upset, afraid that the colors were not going to be what I wanted. Mary Jo called me late in the evening to walk me through a few options. When the flowers were delivered, I honestly couldn't believe how beautiful they were. My bouquet was absolutely gorgeous! Flowers can be a large expense, but I'd have to say they were worth every penny.

Mary Jo's flowers for my wedding were beautifully done and were exactly what I was looking for! She sent me a run down of the flowers that were being used in our contract, and I felt that she knew what I was looking for. She is extremely professional and talented, and she handled things with ease. As someone who went into planning a wedding with little knowledge on how to decorate, Mary Jo was very knowledgable and awesome for me! Thank you Gloriosa flowers!

Florissant did a great job with our flowers and linens! They were lovely and just what we wanted.

Mary Jo scheduled a call with me as soon as I sent in my request for a quote. She went through every wedding detail, asked questions that I didn't even think about (she is incredibly impressive and knows her stuff), we passed inspirational photos back and forth over email and she didn't rush my thought process. I was still unsure of flowers and colors that I was wanting and she took the time to talk me through the overall look and what I wanted to see on my wedding day. She put me at ease and from our first call, I knew she was the person who would make my flower dreams come true! I am so thrilled with how it all came together and my family and friends still rave about the gorgeous photos and attention to detail. She also works with your budget and will get creative should you need other options. Working with Mary Jo is wonderful, she really cares about your wedding day!

When Chris and I decided to get married, I knew one thing - the flowers had to be magnificent. I don't mean over the top, but I had a vision of exactly what I wanted and a decent budget to stay within. For me, the flowers were the priority. I didn't shop around for a florist, actually only set up two appointments. MaryJo was my first meeting and I had no need to go to the second after because she knew exactly what I wanted. She listed. She offered suggestions. And I felt like I would be working with someone who I was partnering with - not simply someone who was going to take the ball and run. My experience working with MaryJo was smooth, professional and seamless. I remember telling my best friend that I wanted guests to come into the tent and feel like they were at something special. Again, not over the top, but special. I wanted them to have that experience. And so, she paid close attention to everyone's reaction. They said it to each other and to me throughout the night, "I have never seen such beautiful tables... the FLOWERS!" I highly recommend Gloriosa and would work with MaryJo again in a heartbeat if/when the occasion arises!

Mary Jo made our wedding look absolutely beautiful. We received so many compliments on the florals and were blown away by how perfect everything looked. I could not have been happier!

VERY disappointed with the customer service. I spoke to Mary Jo 2 1/2 weeks ago and she gave me a date in which I’d receive my invoice. I never received it but gave it 4 days due to the 4th of July and it being a busy time of year for weddings. I reached out via email & phone call.. no response to either! A few days later I reached out via The Knot and she mentioned she has been busy and would get me my invoice on Sunday evening. Here we are on Monday evening and I have not heard A SINGLE WORD! Very disappointed in the lack of communication and the professionalism. I will not be using her and will look elsewhere.

Look no further for your event florist – you have found her! When I first contacted Mary Jo at Gloriosa for wedding flowers, I had it in mind to do my own centerpieces and have Gloriosa make only bouquets and boutonnieres for our wedding day, but after talking to Mary Jo I decided to hand it over to her. It was so worth it! I didn’t have a lot of details for flowers in mind besides colors, but Mary Jo provided excellent guidance and we came up with an affordable, beautiful plan for the wedding day. I also really appreciated the option to have her and her team come back and pick-up the leftover centerpieces at the end of the night – who wants to worry about that after the party?! Mary Jo, you are a truly talented professional. Thank you for helping make our wedding day beautiful and special!

Mary Jo with Glorisoa Flowers is amazing! She did a great job understanding my vision and picking the perfect flowers to match. The flowers and bouquets she put together were the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. She has everything you'll need in terms of rentals as well. In fact, I ended up renting table runners from her that ended up tying my entire reception look together. She was at my venue early to deliver and set up. I had a center piece for the arbor we used, and her assistants set up the center piece and the fabric around the arbor for us! I can't recommend Gloriosa flowers enough!

I recently used Mary Jo's talents for our wedding this passed November. Mary Jo is unbelievably talented. I'm not a huge flower person so Mary Jo really worked hard to make my flowers be simple and yet stunningly beautiful. I didn't do a ton of flowers for our wedding. I opted to do some lit trees and branch center pieces all of which Mary Jo was able and willing to do. She truly has an eye for decor beyond just flowers. She is very talented and I could not be more thankful for the job she did on the decor and our bouquets. She left me speechless with how gorgeous the flowers really were. I wanted our venue to feel as if it was winter, and Mary Jo was able to do that with the simplest of pieces. I can't thank her enough for her hard work that made our day so beautiful.

Absolutely loved working with Mary Jo. Not only where the arrangements gorgeous she also helped with other ideas for the wedding as well!

Mary Jo with Gloriosa was an absolute dream to work with! My husband and I planned our Virginia wedding while living in Alaska. With the 4 hour time difference, Mary Jo was always willing to speak with me at off hours. From our conversations and inspiration images that I provided, she was able to turn my flower dreams into a reality. The tablescapes she was able to create using greenery, pops of color, and silver rentals were exquisite. I seriously cannot say enough good things about Mary Jo! Just simply amazing.

Mary Jo did an excellent job with the flowers for our wedding in August 2017 at The Maridor House in Roanoke. We were planning the wedding long-distance and were only able to meet with her once in person. She had some great ideas The bouquets, the flowers for the arbor, and her other floral designs were a uniquely beautiful part of our wedding.

Mary Jo was very professional and saw me with almost no notice since I was traveling to VA for my wedding. The flowers were very important for me and I loved them. She was also able to help with linen choices for our day

Mary Jo was absolutely wonderful and did an amazing job creating the vision my husband and I dreamed of for our big day! She’s very creative and has a great eye for detail! Everything was absolutely beautiful and better than I ever imagined!

Incredible experience from beginning to end! Mary Jo took my vision and turned it into a dream come true on my wedding day with no hassle at all. She is wonderful to work with, knowledgeable with great suggestions and will only provide the best for her clients.

I am very picky when it comes to flowers (mostly what I really do not like versus what I wanted) and Mary Jo worked with me to figure out what we could make work. Our bouquets were absolutely breath taking and everything I imagined! So was the mantle piece and the table center pieces! Mary Jo is worth every penny and her flowers speak for themselves.

Mary Jo was such a pleasure to work with! She brought my vision to life and made our wedding absolutely beautiful! She is very passionate about what she does and it shows. I highly recommend her services!

Mary Jo did an incredible job with the flowers for our wedding! She captured my vision perfectly, and everyone talked about how gorgeous the flowers were! She paid attention to even the smallest details, and made sure that it was exactly how we had pictured it! I would definitely recommend Gloriosa to brides in the future! Mary Jo was wonderful!

Our wedding flowers where lovely and everything was exactly what I asked for. My bouquet was lovely as well as the table centerpieces and the larger pieces I had set on white columns and my husbands pin. Mary Jo was very kind and easy to talk with and come up with ideas for floral arrangements. The only downside was she was kinda hard to get a response to via email and phone calls. She disappeared on vacation at some point without any sort of notification. I would suggest that their working hours be put on their FB page and website as well as when they are closed for vacation or holidays to update their site/FB page and change their voice mail. Regardless the flowers were great and it was easy for us to come and drop off the vases and flowers to their place the next day. I love that she donates the flowers as well when you bring them back.

Mary Jo and her staff did such an awesome job making my wedding so beautiful. It all exceeded my greatest expectations and I was truly blown away. Everyone had only great things to say about the flowers, the ceremony space, and all of the coordinating linens. The attention to detail was quite apparent and I can truly say that I am proud of my wedding and I owe a lot of that to Gloriosa.

Flowers were beautiful but not what I asked for unfortunately. Communication was extremely difficult with florist. Once we were finally able to connect, she was lovely on the phone. However, the end product was emotional and frustrating because it was not what I had asked for.

Mary Jo did such a beautiful job with our wedding flowers. She was able to capture exactly what I had in mind and far exceeded our expectations! Our florals were breathtaking!

Mary Jo was able to capture my vision and turn it into a reality. The centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres were perfect! We even rented plum napkins from Gloriosa. One piece of advice to future brides, Mary Jo can be tough to get in touch with via email. She's a busy lady, so contact her via phone!

I could not have imagined a better florist for our big day. My now husband and I live out of town so were planning our wedding from a distance. Mary Jo was always available for calls and made time for us when we were in town. She is truly an expert. During the hectic time of planning a wedding Mary Jo was a breath of fresh air and her knowledge put us at ease. On the day of the wedding the flowers arrived and they were gorgeous. They just made the wedding!

Mary Jo did the most amazing job for my wedding. Everything was absolutely perfect. We also rented candles, candle holders, and linens from her. She's so friendly and professional and so reasonably priced! You definitely won't regret picking Mary Jo to do your flowers.

Our wedding flowers were fabulously done by Mary Jo and Gloriosa. She created a beautiful atmosphere for our wedding that we will never forget. Her floral designs really set our wedding apart from others and made it truly unique!

Mary Jo was wonderful to work with. She understood my daughter's vision for her flowers and went above and beyond. Guests continue to comment on how beautiful the wedding and reception flowers were!!!

The flowers were very nicely arranged and brought such beauty to the wedding. Great Job!

My flowers from Gloriosa were gorgeous. Mary Jo worked with me to design an affordable and beautiful bridal bouquet as well as complementary bridesmaid bouquets. The arbor and table arrangements were as equally beautiful - each unique. The flowers were fresh, beautiful, colorful, and all of the bouquets/arrangements were well put together and held up well all night. We also rented table linens and the colors were perfect. Everything was within my budget. I really appreciated that!! She was a joy to work with. Thank you Mary Jo for all you did to make our wedding flowers beautiful!

Gloriosa provided our floral arrangements & bouquets for our 10-15-16 wedding. Mary Jo understood exactly what I was looking for and was able to guide me toward beautiful seasonal flowers that that suited our venue perfectly. She also has various rentals available for very reasonable prices. I highly recommend Gloriosa !!

Mary Jo did an EXCELLENT job. My flowers were gorgeous, and far surpassed my highest hopes for how they would turn out. I was super particular about the colors, and was really nervous they wouldn't be what I wanted, and they were exceptional. She did such a great job of understanding my vision and what I wanted. And when we discussed things I had no vision for, she had great idea and then made it all happen. She was slow at times to respond via, but DONT let that deter you. She is awesome. Willing to talk budget, willing to call and discuss any last minute changes, and ALWAYS put me at ease. She was laid-back, but reliable. I would recommend her to anyone. She's also just really sweet and enjoyable to work with. Thanks Mary Jo, you're the BEST!!!

We were very happy we decided to have Mary Jo with Gloriosa do the flowers for our rehearsal dinner and wedding! She was amazing in our planning sessions, listening to my ideas and offering practical suggestions. The arrangements and ambiance for both events were absolutely beautiful. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

Mary Jo is absolutely fantastic. She does a beautiful job and she's on top of things. Give her a call and schedule time with her and she will help you decide exactly what you want, and she's always quick to respond.

I loved having the DIY option with Gloriosa. She provided flowers and storage for the DIY session (and delivers for a small fee!). I really did love supporting a local small business. She has a wonderful eye for florals and understanding what kind of look you want for your wedding day flowers. It's also nice she wants to help your day have a cohesive look, so she offers more details. We used her for our uplighting, as well. Only thing I would let other brides considering her is she can be delayed on final proposals and may take more effort to get in touch with. I recommend discussing details over the phone - not email.

Mary Jo was wonderful to work with and our wedding flowers were gorgeous. She handled the linens and all the centerpieces at the reception, everything was perfect. She was able to work with our budget and we received many compliments on the reception decor. I would highly recommend Gloriosa. Thanks again Mary Jo!

Gloriosa is much more than just a provider of flowers for a wedding. She became an integral part of planning the wedding and reception for my son and daughter-n-law. All of the flowers were perfect - exactly as promised. Beyond that, she handled the linens and other items - finding us chairs we were unable to locate on our own. She went above and beyond what we expected! We strongly recommend Gloriosa for any wedding or special event!

Mary Jo was absolutely awesome from the moment I met her to the minute she delivered her beautiful flowers to the church. I had a very large wedding party and she did an excellent job accommodating us. I would recommend Gloriosa to anyone.

Mary Jo is absolutely amazing! I had her do the flower arrangements for my brothers wedding and she did an incredible job! She is extremely knowledgeable about the aesthetics of a wedding venue and I completely trusted her judgements! I would recommend her to everyone! Thank you Mary Jo!

For my daughter's wedding, we went the DIY route and my friends used Gloriosa's flowers for the arranging of the centerpieces, bouquets, corsages, and boutionnieres. With Mary Jo's input, they selected the most beautiful flowers ever! Prep flower work was done by 3 people two days before the wedding, then the day before all the arranging was done (we should have had 3 people that day too, it was a lot of work for one day). Gloriosa delivered the flowers the next day to our Bent Mountain venue. It worked out perfectly. And the flowers were so fresh, we enjoyed they for many days after the wedding.

If you want your wedding dreams to come true Mary Jo will make it happen! My wedding was everything I had wanted even though it was planned in a short amount of time. Mary Jo has a true vision of what you want and makes it happen. My wedding was almost a month ago and people are still raving about the flowers and decor that Mary Jo did. I HIGHLY recommend Mary Jo!!

Wonderful venue to work with - Mary Jo was very accommodating in meeting with us even when we accidentally missed our appointment time and helped make my day beautiful and just the way I had envisioned! Great service, beautiful work!!

Mary Jo with Gloriosa began by earning my confidence and trust by taking the time to talk to me about our wedding colors, my favorite flowers and style. Despite my not being "your average girl" and knowing all there is to know about flowers, Mary Jo and I worked closely, looking at different samples of other weddings to define my style and what i was looking for. The end result couldn't have been more fantastic! Thanks Gloriosa for making my wedding dreams come to life! Highly recommend her!

Mary Jo did an amazing job. It was everything I had envisioned. She also incorporated my grandmother's cameo which was so special to me

I got married on Saturday, May 30 of 2015 and we used Gloriosa for our flowers. Working with Mary Jo was absolutely wonderful! She made the entire planning process flow seamlessly and had great creative and visual ideas. Our reception venue was outside and had a unique layout - Mary Jo went well beyond providing flowers and had great input on layout for the entire reception, linens, etc. Not to mention, she kept our budget in mind the whole time and was sure to communicate every step of the way. It is sometimes hard to visualize exactly what your flowers will look like the day of your wedding, especially if there is heat involved. I can honestly say my wedding bouquet was more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined. It fit me perfectly and I could not have asked for anything better. Not only was my bouquet perfect, all of the other flowers were equally beautiful. I would highly recommend reaching out to Mary Jo and utilizing Gloriosa for any floral needs! I have seen pictures of events they have done outside of weddings and the creativity and beauty is consistently there. We loved working with Mary Jo and would recommend her to anyone!

I used Mary Jo from Gloriosa as the florist for my wedding and I have nothing but positive things to say about her service! As a bride with no idea what kinds of flowers I wanted, I appreciated Mary Jo sitting down with me and working with me to create a beautiful plan while staying within my budget. She is thorough and made me feel well taken care of even until the end of the reception when she returned to take away the remaining flowers and send them to an assisted living center, which I loved. I would recommend her services to any bride in the Roanoke area--you will not be disappointed!

Mary Jo did a wonderful job providing arrangements for our wedding ceremony and reception. I loved how I was able to give her the link to my Pinterest board and when we met with her she had put together an actual example of something from my Pinterest board. It was nice that she was able to create an example of exactly what she would be putting together on our wedding day for our meeting. The only suggestion I would have is our numbers changed (went down), and we were not notified before she ordered flowers two weeks before (partly my mistake for not checking in, partly something I felt Mary-Jo would have checked in with). We were able to re-purpose the flowers for dinner stations, but it would have been nice to save the $200-400 for the arrangements we didn't need.

Like every Bride, I had pictures of flowers that I envisioned on my wedding day. Mary Jo was recommended to me by another vendor when she found out I was trying to save money and do the flowers myself. This was a life saving recommendation. With Mary Jo's knowledge of flowers, she can take your vision and fit what you want to your budget. She put together the flowers for my bridal party and family members and we did the DIY option for our centerpieces. Mary Jo was there during our DIY session and helped to ensure our arrangements looked the part. I am so happy with how our flowers turned out, even better than I had imagined. Flowers can be an expensive part of your budget, with Mary Jo you don't need to sacrifice. Thank you!

Mary Jo did an out standing job providing the flower arrangements. More than I expected and really made the venue come alive. Multiple guest comments on how natural and garden like the space was. I'm in The Garden of Virginia and these women are quite difficult to impress so when one after another praised the flowers displayed in old antique pitchers and mint julep cups and various old silver pieces I was shocked. I requested reuse of vines and flowers on the aisles as well as bouquets and they all were incorporated into beautiful table arrangements . Totally satisfied with our decision to choose this vender.
