McNamara Florist

g my flower selections. The staff was very organized and prompt about emailing me copies of updated proposals; I needed to modify part of my order, and they were very responsive. On the wedding day, the delivery went perfectly. They were on time, nothing was missing, and everything was absolutely beautiful. Our guests loved the flowers and they look wonderful in our pictures. I would definitely recommend McNamara.

t? Go for broke, mom. We worked with Rosemarie and in the beginning stages went very well. She utilized her expertise to help explain to us (since we had zero knowledge about flowers) which flowers were the right ones based on our preferences. With a solid plan in hand and a bill we seemed to be good to go. And then, the day before the wedding, the flowers for the rehearsal dinner came in the wrong vases, were the wrong type, and were honestly pretty crappy (bruised and browning). Guests even commented that they hoped the flowers the next day would be better. Talk about embarrassing. Sadly the wedding day flowers were not better. The bride's bouquet (THE BRIDE'S BOUQUET...FOR THE FREAKIN BRIDE) had browning flowers in it. The bridesmaids were not much better. The groomsmen's boutonnieres looked great, but wilted over the course of the day. They looked pretty crappy during the post wedding ceremony photo shoot. At the reception I just told them to take them off and throw them away. To their credit, they did come to the church to try and fix the flowers. However, the person they sent had a bad attitude and basically told the bride she didn't understand what the problem was. She did glue in fresh flowers where the bride's mom had taken the browning flowers out. Overall: totally unimpressed, embarrassing flowers which we both had to apologize to our wedding party for. Won't be back and would not recommend. Sorry, I really hoped they would be better given my mom's love for them and the excitement after the initial consultation. But, the quality is not there and even my mom said she won't go back. Just sad, really.

when I received my final bill (5 months after the wedding) it had late fees even though it was the first statement I received. However, they were nice about it when working to get it all straightened out. Just keep good records!

other vendors and even cheaper than some. The reason that I chose McNamara was because even though I was not ordering thousands and thousands of dollars of flowers, Teresa understood what I wanted and still made me feel important. She personally, without prompting, called my venue to check altar height and vase sizing for the arrangements. And she met with me 2 times before the wedding just to make sure that she was on the right track with the arrangements and the bouquets and was just genuinely very sweet wanting to ensure that I was happy. Teresa personally delivered the flowers the day of the wedding and they were beautiful and exactly what I wanted! Her work did not stop there though, she later emailed me to ensure that I was happy with everything and to tell me how pretty I was in my dress! I would recommend them to anyone!

ordered all the personal flowers there, and they all held up from pickup at 2pm until far past the end of the reception at 10pm. They even looked nice the next day at noon after riding in a hot car! We also ordered flowers to set up in our own centerpieces and they were beautiful as well.

manager in Greenwood, offered to have them delivered for free. Now that is great service.

other florists, the same arrangements were almost half the price. I had beautiful bouquets of calla lillies that were wrapped in silk ribbon. Everything that I asked for, they were able to provide; including a very rare type of calla lilly that was very difficult to find for no extra cost. The boutonnieres and corsages were also very beautiful. Everything was delivered to the venue and arrived before I did and a consultant was waiting to make sure everything looked perfect. I was very happy with my flowers and the service!

was that I did have some issues along the way which seemed that they could have been avoided, but were not a problem the final day. I worked with McNamara during a transition point for one of their wedding designers and unfortunately I think some of the details were overlooked by the person who was leaving. Thankfully, when I discussed these with the designer who took-over our wedding after she left, the new designer was quick to fix any previous problems and further adjust my flowers as I desired. I was very pleased with my flowers on wedding day and did not have any problems the day of the wedding, which was the most important part to me.

the chuppah were beautiful! We also went with Asiatic Lilies for the centerpieces and bouquets and they made the room smell amazing.... He's worth every penny!

my bridal bouquet and actually fell out : ( I would recommend them to a friend!

bunches of flowers into different vases for the centerpieces and they looked awesome! Cost and delivery fee was much lower than other vendors and the flowers were perfect!

uet of stargazers, hydrangea, and dendrobium orchids showed up full of frilly filler flowers. I stared at it then told the woman that I had specifically requested no filler flowers. "But that's what the picture looked like!" After explaining that I had wanted a very clean look, she and her associate huffed that they would be able to take care of it. My bouquet returned minus the filler flowers, but began wilting before I even walked down the aisle! Also for pictures both during and after the ceremony (we didn't want to see each other before) the ruscus and orchids that were cascading down kept falling out! Also, the bouquet ended up being far larger than I had requested. You could barely see my dress in pictures unless I held it off to the side. Plus several of the boutonierres had drooping freesia by the reception. This included the best man when he gave his toast. I was able to look past the fact that the freesia in the bridemaids bouquets were far more purple than pink because it still looked nice with their dresses, but I was still rather disappointed with the flowers as a whole.

o let me know if my vision was attainable or if things had to be changed. Although the order was placed last minute, it arrived on time at the designated area. The reason for the grade is that, although the flowers were beautiful and pretty much what I envisioned, the colors were slightly off and many arrangements fell apart before the end of the night--actually, they started falling apart from the moment we touched them. For example, several of the wired orchids in my bouquet fell out, my father's bout completely came apart, the monkey tail in DH's bout came off, and a few dahlias were lifeless.
