Helen Olivia Flowers

ely loved our flowers and received so many compliments from our guests. From my bouquet to the ceremony and reception arrangements, the flowers were carefully selected, beautifully arranged, and made for the romantic and warm feel we wanted.

greenery and gorgeous taper candles that fit the classic winter wedding style we were seeking. I had shared a few photos I found on Pinterest and she got back to me with the perfect proposal with accompanying inspiration photos to give us an idea of what our florals would look like. And day-of, I was blown away. From my bouquet (that smelled like Christmas!) to the boutonnières, centerpieces, and other arrangements, Helen Olivia's attention to detail is impeccable. I can't say enough amazing things. Neither can my mom, who burst into happy tears when she saw the reception decor that night. Rachel and team – Our day was perfect and you played an enormous role in that! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The bouquets & centerpieces were even more beautiful than I anticipated and we got so many compliments. They went above and beyond with the small touches such as buds for the photographer & the cake flowers. I’ve really enjoyed working with Helen Olivia and have already told my husband I’d like an arrangement from them for our anniversary. PS- if you aren’t already you should follow them on Instagram- beautiful work and always brightens my day!

re the wedding to help us!). The outcome FAR surpassed my expectations and people LOVED the floral decor!! They had everything on time and set up seamlessly, and picked it up at the end - we never had to worry about a thing!! The blooms were gorgeous and I could not recommend them more!!

as, and she made note of everything in an online database that we also had access to. She added photos and other notes in there - it was so easy to envision what our wedding flowers would look like! There was also transparency in the pricing, which was helpful with our budget. All the flowers and candles at the ceremony and reception site were just stunning!!

personal service, and professionalism. The appointments were hassle-free and efficient. Madison was able to show me some spectacular flower designs and had great suggestions on colors and types of flowers. She is a true artist. I loved the way their proposals allowed me to visualize the flower arrangements. Everything was perfect including the wedding bouquet, the boutonieres, wedding cake, table centerpieces and altar arrangements. Many guests commented on how beautiful the flowers were. I cannot say enough about them and would recommend Helen Olivia to anyone thinking of wedding flower arrangements!

to separate locations with plenty of time to spare, and made it easy to coordinate. They also were able to make an arrangement for my mom that I requested after my initial request and allowed me to pick it up separately. They are an absolute pleasure to work with and deliver stunning flowers!

d everything looked beautiful. Our chuppah was covered in moss and greenery and looked like something out of a fairy tale. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful the wedding was and how the flowers and greenery were a perfect compliment to the space. The team was a dream to work with and I can't recommend them more.

ch, elegant floral reality was a highlight of our wedding design. My bouquet was beyond my high expectations and many wedding guests commented on the beauty of the bouquets as well as the table centerpieces. Helen Olivia Flowers was amazing. They even were prepared with extra flowers, vases and bowls when we expanded the number of tables. Huge thanks for being the best wedding florist we can imagine!

were looking for. Fast forward to 10/21/17 and our flowers were PERFECT! Exactly what we had in mind for our small, intimate wedding. Thank you, Rachel!

nd reception at the Hotel Monaco in DC! We used them for centerpieces, bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, cocktail hour arrangements and more. And the flowers lasted for about a week after the wedding too! Gorgeous and detail work that made our wedding romantic, elegant and classy!

of my concerns to rest and didn't give me any guidance. Then I met with Rachel and Madison at Helen Olivia on the recommendation of a friend who uses them frequently and suddenly I was excited about flowers. They immediately put me at ease, gave me thoughtful suggestions and ideas without pushing me into anything, worked with me on the budget I had, and coordinated with the church and reception venue. I ended up incredibly happy with absolutely stunning flowers and I'm so glad I used Helen Olivia. In addition to our wedding day flowers they also created a gorgeous arrangement my husband gave me when he proposed and they did the flowers for my wedding shower. I'm certain we will use them on a regular basis in the future. Go and meet with Helen Olivia Flowers in Old Town, they are friendly, great at what they do, can work with a variety of budgets, will take amazing care of you, and you will end up as happy as I am. Thank you, Rachel, Madison, and everyone at Helen Olivia, for making me feel like I was your only client, for taking such good care of me, guiding me in my decision making, and creating such amazing works of art for my wedding day.

f the events. Order as often as possible from Helen Olivia for your special events. You will not be disappointed!

h a completely painless process of picking out flowers and they didn't disappoint! The flowers were beautiful-we did cherry blossoms for the ceremony, and the bridal party bouquets were fantastic. They went above and beyond with the small touches as well-the flower girl bouquet was one of my favorite things about the entire wedding. The centerpieces were elegant and really brought the whole room together. I loved working with Rachel and Madison, and can't wait to have a need to get flowers again from them soon!

he was able to meet with me several times to assure me my vision was met. Everything she touched turned to into an artistic masterpiece! We have been asked if our florist was from LA because she is just that good! She was quite the guru when it came to planning a flower dream and able to answer all my neurotic bridal questions. Can not wait to use her again for my next event!

g exceeded all my expectations and the flowers were a huge piece of that. Thank you Rachel, Charles and the team at Helen Olivia for allowing all my wedding dreams to come true! Amy and Brian. May 2, 2015

o make everything look perfect. Not being able to see my vision, Rachel invited us back to the shop about a month before our wedding to show us examples of our vision. They were beautiful! After seeing these examples, I knew I could count on Rachel and Chuck to make my wedding beautiful. The day of the wedding, Helen Olivia delivered the bouquets to the location where we were getting ready. They then went to the wedding site to set everything up. By the time I got there, everything was set up and ready to go. The flowers were gorgeous! We had so many compliments throughout the evening on the quality and size of the sunflowers we used. Rachel and Chuck went above and beyond to make sure our wedding looked beautiful! I can’t wait to purchase flowers from them again soon!

erts and it's not in their best interest to mess up. And boy did they not mess up! Perfect flowers that were exactly what I was after and as I got to keep some of the arrangements and the bouquet found out that they lasted over 10 days. On occasion some of the people I spoke to probably weren't the best customer service but then everyone can have a bad day and in the end this bride was one happy customer. Craig is the best person to contact, his attention to detail is second to none.

k very lovely. Helen Olivia’s prices could not be beaten and their delivery and set up services were also very reasonable. I would recommend Helen Olivia to anyone for any occasion.

work with and clearly understood our vision. She was able to promise (and deliver!) the massive cherry branches we wanted and took a ton of time to coax them to their peak for the wedding day. We got a ton of compliments on our flowers. Everything was exactly how I expected it to look. Marianne is also a very practical woman. She listened to my ideas, then told me why a few were less realistic. She then tweaked those ideas into something do-able that would have the same impact. She also produced sample centerpieces to make sure we would be pleased with the end result. The price was a little high, but we were an hour away from her shop and required a lot of set up. Frankly, for her assurances regarding the cherry blossoms, it was totally worth it. Marianne and her husband are building a unique and independent flower shop with a personal touch. I made an effort in my planning to support independent small businesses and I'm happy I did.

and I would recommend Helen Olivia to anyone!

s no way that I was going to go without their flowers!! They were extremely flexible seeing how I changed my wedding venue, theme, colors ect, not to mention I changed all my flowers a month before the wedding. The fresh flowers they added to may cake took it to the next level, my wedding theme was peacock and my flowers added to the whimsical nature of my wedding. I will be forever grateful! If they are available on your wedding date, you will not be disappointed!
