Jones the Florist

My floral consultant (Summer) understood exactly what I was dreaming of and made it happen. I loved the simplicity and elegance of our flowers, they were classic! Jones the Florist were easy to work with - zero stress on wedding day. They have such a great reputation in Cincinnati and it's well deserved.

I went with Summer at Jones the Florist for my wedding. I had big plans for my wedding and very strict details. I saw her work often in Cincinnati Bridal Magazine. Summer understood my vision and worked with me very well. We corresponded over email, and she was quick to answer questions. About 2 days before my wedding she said that she could not get ANY ranunculus for the event, which was one of my favorite focal point flowers. This was annoying. She subbed in a different flower and it was nice. I wish at times she had told me that some of my flower choices would be ugly- such as lisianthus, which turned out looking like dead wilty carnations, yuck. I will say that my bouquet was gorgeous!! The bridesmaids bouquets really bugged me, they were all different sizes, which can make some girls feel less important, and just looks bad all together. The boutonnieres for the guys were very nice. The centerpieces were 3 different arrangements, one of which turned out horrid! A magazine had a picture of vases wrapped around the inside with tulips which were suspended in water, which is what I asked for, but not what I got. They looked like she took tulips and grass waded them up and shoved them in the vase. Horrible, so family took them off and rearranged things so that they were not a focal point. The floating peonies and roses looked great. We had also agreed that the arrangements would be tight and ball shaped, which did not happen. For quality, I thought too many flowers were too open such as the peonies and dahlias- they must have let them get too hot. The roses looked very nice and lasted well. The service was ok because they were easy to get in contact with and showed up on time. The value is not great because I don't feel like we got what we paid for. I would recommend them, but I would try to get them to agree to a certain number of stems per arrangement to ensure your designs show up how you expect them to.

;The gentleman I dealt with was very rude. When I told him what I wanted he continued to tell me how expensive it would be, trying to get me to do different flowers. The day before the wedding he said they couldn't deliver because it was too far, 7 miles! On the day of the wedding he called to say they were closing early and we had to get the flowers by 12 and our wedding wasn't until 6:30. I would not recommend this florist to anyone! The flowers were not exactly what I wanted, but it worked out OK.
