Gloriosa

e also did a beautiful arrangement for the arch for the ceremony and flowers for the ends of the aisles. I would definitely recommend her!!

ing 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.

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!

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.

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.

any 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!

uets and floral arrangements for our wedding were beautiful and exactly what we discussed!

ve 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!

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.

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!

I definitely recommend Mary Jo for all your different needs.

have kept the flowers forever.

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!!

agined. 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!

imagine anything better than what she was able to do.

ases for my centerpieces.

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.

sional 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!

tos 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!

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!

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.

ut 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!

d 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!

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.

nd 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.

the flowers for the arbor, and her other floral designs were a uniquely beautiful part of our wedding.

est for her clients.

mantle piece and the table center pieces! Mary Jo is worth every penny and her flowers speak for themselves.

e had pictured it! I would definitely recommend Gloriosa to brides in the future! Mary Jo was wonderful!

ith 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.

inating 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.

it was not what I had asked for.

th via email. She's a busy lady, so contact her via phone!

pert. 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!

ry Jo to do your flowers.

owers 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!

ous rentals available for very reasonable prices. I highly recommend Gloriosa !!

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!!!

or both events were absolutely beautiful. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

ind 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.

eption decor. I would highly recommend Gloriosa. Thanks again Mary Jo!

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!

ld recommend her to everyone! Thank you Mary Jo!

wer 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.

s almost a month ago and people are still raving about the flowers and decor that Mary Jo did. I HIGHLY recommend Mary Jo!!

ry 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!

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!

o 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!

interest 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.

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!

re 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.

ided us through it all. You can depend upon Flowers by Gloriosa to bring your wedding vision to life. Sandi S.

rant. I just loved, loved, loved my bouquet. Mary Jo also made the table arrangements for the reception. They were elegant and made the room romantic. They were in tall clear 18" vases for the evening reception and the next day they were reused at the brunch but the tall vases removed and the arrangements brought down to table level. They looked different and we were able to reuse them which was so great. She was wonderful to work with and listened to all my requests. If you are planning an event in Roanoke, Gloriosa is the florist to use! Thanks again, Mary Jo.

I would highly recommend anyone to Gloriosa.

loriosa for her attention to detail, willingness to stick to a budget, willingness to be open and honest, and willingness to put in the time for a spectacular display.
