We LOVED using Island Blooms for our wedding and rehearsal dinner!! Lori was incredible to work with, very professional, easy to get in contact with, and did a great job with taking my vision and creating beautiful flowers. From the beginning she was looking out for us and our budget and was offering ideas to help make our vision come to life in the budget that we had. We did table arrangements for the Welcome Dinner/Rehearsal dinner, and since they were so beautiful, we reused them the next day for a ground arch for the ceremony, and they stayed beautiful despite the heat. She also did an amazing job on my bouquet and a bridesmaid's bouquet, as well as a sweetheart table arrangement.

I have nothing but good things to say about Lori & Marilyn at Island Blooms! From day 1 they were interested and willing to help bring my floral vision to life. After I took a trip to our destination wedding venue, I changed my layout and needed to make a lot of changes to the florals. Lori and Marilyn were ready to hear out my new thoughts and helped edit my florals plan. They were so easy-going during the design process and they absolutely nailed it for tropical wildflower wedding! I loved that we were able to repurpose most of our florals from ceremony to reception!
Any questions?

Lori was so great to work with! She was always VERY responsive to my messages and was very helpful to make sure I had what I wanted and stayed within my budget. The flowers turned out AMAZING! I sent Lori my Pinterest board inspiration and she really made my dreams come to life!!

Working with Lori for our June wedding at the Islander Resort was an absolute breeze, and she truly delivered on our vision! With just a photo of what we were looking for, Lori customized our package and delivered the perfect white phalaenopsis orchid bouquet and boutonniere for my husband and myself. We are so thankful to have worked with Island Blooms, and we would hands-down recommend them to any and all couples getting married in South Florida!

As a Key Largo local, planning a wedding in the Upper Keys, I wanted to source my wedding vendors locally. Island Blooms came highly recommended by my planner and certainly did not disappoint. The mother daughter team met with me personally to discuss our vision and personal sentimental touches we wanted to include in our personal items and display. We were blown away by the professional presentation of our tropical arrangements as well as the service/delivery and communication throughout. They were truly the talk of the wedding and people were fighting to take home the centerpieces! We can't recommend them enough and will certainly be using them again!

AMAZING! The team of Lori and Marilyn for our wedding and what they created was so beautiful and represented exactly us/what we were looking for to highlight the natural beach elements, but also reflects s. Took my many emails and talked through all my asks/changes etc. Made a few last minute changes per my request the week before that truly brought everything together. THANK YOU and highly recommend!

Lori and Marilyn made beautiful arrangements for our bouquets and centerpieces for our tables. Our guests were absolutely in awe over the king proteas and the florals placed around them. Both were so easy to communicate with and gave us honest opinions about what they would do, rather than just try and convince us to spend more money. Our flowers were still just as beautiful days later as they were on our wedding day.

Lori and the team at Island Blooms made our wedding day so easy and SO BEAUTIFUL. Our flowers were stunning from the bridal bouquet to the sweetheart table to the pergola - and even the "exit roses" were in the the cutest little cups for our Guests to throw at us. I gave little to no direction and let the island florists run with it! We couldn't bear for the flowers to go unloved after the wedding day so we donated them to Mariner's Hospital for the nurses. I'll forever remember the vibrant beautiful colors of my wedding day. Thank you!

I haven't even had my wedding yet (December 11th, 2021) but I am so pleased already. From the first phone call with Lori, to traveling down to the keys to their HOUSE where they showed us flowers and my ideas that I wanted that were spot on. Lori and her mother, Marilyn, were so inviting and made you feel special and like your not just another bride. I have full faith that they will make my wedding amazing. You will be in GREAT hands. And, some of the best prices that we researched.

Thank you, Krista! It was so nice to meet you, Davis, and both of your mothers. Because we are a popular destination wedding location, it is not often we get to meet our brides and their families until the day of the wedding, so meeting you all...
was a real treat! We are excited to see you all again in December!!! - Lori & Marilyn

Anyone looking for flowers for a special occasion should check out Island Blooms. They provided the centerpieces and bouquets for my wedding, and they absolutely blew me away. The flowers were gorgeous and beyond anything I could have imagined. They were professional, friendly, and always prompt with communication. I could not recommend them more.

Lori and Marilyn with Island Blooms are without a doubt the best florists ever worked with. This Mother/Daughter team from the beginning was so attentive and friendly. Giving suggestions on floral arrangements for our Wedding Day. Those suggestions, workmanship, and the love they have for what they do showed throughout our Day. Our arrangements were exquisite and alive. Lasting throughout the day and days after. The quality of the flowers were amazing. We are so grateful and thankful for the attention Lori and Marilyn put into making their part of our day amazing. You should make them your choice too. 🙏🕊💙
Island Blooms was founded by three women who understand how special moments and milestones make up your life. This mother/daughter team shares an extraordinary bond, and each has taken a unique path that perfectly compliments the other with exclusive expertise and familiarity.
We are family and we are all three in this business together. Meet Lisa, Marilyn, and Lori (in that order from left to right). Together we are Island Blooms and it is our passion to design beautiful florals for weddings and other special events in The UPPER Florida Keys.
