Michael is truly one of a kind when it comes to wedding vendors. His professionalism and promptness are second to none! From our very first consultation, we knew we were in great hands for our wedding florals. I fully trusted Michael’s visions and they went above and beyond anything I could’ve come up with! My florals and centerpieces truly elevated my wedding, my guests were fighting over the centerpieces at the end of the evening on who could take them home! You won’t be disappointed with Michael B Anthony as your wedding florist!

Just had my winter wedding 1/18/25, the vision I had was executed beyond expectations! We had a very detailed call, I was given a visual representation of what I should expect and I confirmed that I loved everything. When the florals were delivered, it was exactly what was pictured. I had some last minute changes as well and Michael was able to accommodate everything. My sister also had her wedding florals done with Michael a few years ago and you just cannot beat the quality! Thank you!

Finding Michael on the knot.com was the best thing that could have happened to us. Michael worked within our budget, was very attentive to our vision and needs and maintained professionalism throughout. I was blown away seeing the flower displays I envisioned turn into realty. I highly encourage you to reach out to Michael for any future flower needs. What I really loved was how connected he was to local and seasonal flowers! A portion of them came from his own farm!

We came across Michael B Anthony from a google search. Boy are we happy we did! We couldn’t be more happy with his services! My husband and I weren’t exactly sure what we were looking for, but Michael worked with us and helped us discover the perfect floral arrangements for a reasonable price. Our guests couldn’t stop ranting and raving about our floral centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnières, and pocket squares. We would recommend Michael B Anthony a thousand times over!

I can't recommend Michael and his work enough. He was easy to work with but his vision for my wedding inspiration is what won me over. He got exactly what I was saying right away!
Walking into the Whitney garden and seeing the floral pillars for the first time, I will never forget that. Then seeing all the bouquets, they were better than I imagined! I loved the vision boards he sent me, but seeing it all come to life was beyond. So thankful for the experience!

My husband and I didn't have a really solid idea of what we wanted when we went into our original consultation with Michael. We're not huge flower people, but we love plants and greenery. Michael seemed to immediately understand our likes and dislikes, as well as the aesthetic we were hoping for. By the end of our first meeting, he was making suggestions that helped us visualize a wedding that was even better than we'd expected. He was very flexible with some of our more unique requests, and he helped us achieve a look that matched with our personalities.
When the centerpieces, bouquets, and other florals arrived the morning of our wedding, we were blown away. They were perfect. The bouquets and the centerpiece for the sweetheart table, in particular, were beyond anything we'd imagined, and Michael achieved a subtle but impactful look for every part of our wedding.
We would recommend Michael to anyone! He was fantastic throughout the planning stages of our wedding. As we made slight changes to the planned arrangements (slight adjustment to the number of tables, etc.), Michael was responsive and understanding. Everyone who came to the venue to deliver and set up flowers was extremely professional and friendly. (We've even repotted some of the centerpieces to keep in our home!)

We cannot genuinely thank and recommend Michael and team enough. They were incredibly thoughtful and detailed through the whole process. Choosing our floral arrangements wasn’t something either of us had ever done before or really had a good idea of what we wanted. Michael took the time to get to know us, our style, the tone we were trying to set and pulled together arrangements and pieces that absolutely completed our day. Everyone asked us: how did you pick these arrangements? Where did you get the ideas from? And honestly it wasn’t us - it was Michael and team who made us look so great. Day of, Michael and team were timely and so, so helpful. We’re so grateful to them for everything!

Michael & his team truly delivered every step of the way in preparation of our wedding day. He was by far the most communicative and organized vendor we worked with from start to finish, totally patient and understanding with reschedules due to the pandemic, and was beyond impressive with the way he interpreted my and my husband’s vision for our floral and bringing it to life beyond our wildest dreams. I’m not kidding when I say our floral was the talk of the entire event! It was incredibly unique and absolutely breathtaking. I will never get over how gorgeous and detailed Michael & the florals he created were from top to bottom. Couldn’t recommend him enough, and will no doubt be working with him again in the future for any events!

I couldn’t have been more happy with the flowers that Michael designed for my wedding. They were absolutely stunning. From start to finish, he was incredibly helpful, professional, and kind.
After our first consultation, he listened to my feedback, and helped suggest options that both fit my budget and accommodated my vision. He is always quick to respond. His team was on time to set up on the day of my wedding, and even used some extra flowers they had to decorate additional tables which was such a nice surprise.
I can’t recommend Michael more. I considered a ton of different florists for my wedding, and I’m so glad I chose him. His prices are fair relative to other florists, and his service is amazing.

I was absolutely in love with my flowers for our big day. My bouquet has so much texture and so many different flowers i would have never imagined to have and it was absolutely stunning and my simple bridesmaids bouquets complimented it so well. As for the décor at the venue it was simply stunning as well. I am not one for being able to envision what it will look like but working with Michael he was able to bring my vision to life and make it better than I could have ever imagined and helped me stay within my budget!

Michael was amazing. He communicated with us throughout all the unknowns. Planning a wedding during a global pandemic wasn't easy, but he allowed us to not have to think twice about our flowers or centerpieces. I even had a special request to put the letter "E" on some of the bountainers and bouquets to honor my late nephew, Easton. Michael, fulfilled my request beautifully! The day of the wedding, the flowers and centerpieces were absolutely beautiful! We couldn't have asked for a better florist! We strongly recommend, Michael for your next event!

Michael was amazing to work with ! My flowers were unique and absolutely STUNNING ! Even during the stressful 2020 COVID wedding debacle, Michael was more than generous and helpful as our event changed multiple times.
He worked with me and adapted with me and I ended up with gorgeous arrangements for our photos and the small intimate gathering of family. Best part.....my bouquet !!!!! I mean wow ! A real one of a kind arrangement that I could not have been happier with.
I can only hope he starts doing vases for purchase so I can regularly decorate my house with his brilliant floral arrangements !

Michael was incredible! From the very first conversation, Michael was professional, attentive, thoughtful and so creative. I love flowers but I am clueless, and he sent me over so many options and ideas after our initial conversation. I loved this and his creativity and passion and knew I needed to book him! He took my vision (and lack thereof) and worked with it to make it incredible! Our wedding was originally supposed to be in May 2020, but we ultimately postponed and decided to do a small ceremony in October. Michael has been so incredible during this whole postponing/canceling/crazy time. On top of being so accommodating, he made our reduced 13 person wedding feel so incredibly special with the time and care that he spent on everything. I would highly recommend Michael for any of your floral needs and I'm already excited to work with him for our postponed reception!

Michael was amazing. Not only did he communicate with me often and always respond to my emails right away, but the flowers were so beautiful. We had to completely change our wedding due to covid and I needed a new florist. Michael was happy to step in and exceeded my expectations. My bouquet was beautiful, the bridesmaids were obsessed with theirs. The corsages were amazing and so were the boutineeres. Our archway for our ceremony also transformed our backyard to make this into a dream wedding. We also did a memory bouquet for my mom which was equally amazing. I am so so so happy I found Michael to do our floral arrangements!

Our centerpieces were so gorgeous and romantic, and the bouquets were the most beautiful I’ve ever seen! He got the exact shade of purple roses that I was looking for and we got nothing but compliments on them! Even after having to change things completely, and cut the wedding substantially two weeks before(thanks Covid) , Michael still pulled off the beautiful romantic look of an inside ballroom, outside!

I’m so happy we hired Michael for our wedding. I didn’t have specific florals in mind, just a color scheme and a “vibe” and he nailed it. He was a great all in one vendor who included our rentals and was very mindful of our budget. I can’t believe I got a bouquet that looked so stunning, people still tell me about it months later. He even went out of his way to get specialty beer hops incorporated for us as my husband and I met over craft beer and homebrewing. A family member accidentally took a vase home and he held no slight against us, making it easy to return. The only thing I wish was different was that the 4 corsages were not like we discussed, they were pretty but seemed more prom than modern and they browned by the ceremony. All said and done I’m happy he was our florist and would recommend him to anyone.

Our flowers were the wrong color on our wedding day. According to his contract, we were supposed to be notified of any floral substitutions, which we were not. Additionally, the boutonnieres and corsages were browning and literally falling apart before the reception started. The moms had to take their corsages off because they could not be worn. Lastly, our centerpieces were set up incorrectly. Our contract clearly stated the greenery was supposed to be in rings around the candles, however, they were set up woven through the candles instead. When I emailed Michael after my wedding bringing forward my concerns, I was brushed off saying I signed a contract (which he didn't follow) and that was that. I emailed him again stating he violated his own contract and NO RESPONSE after multiple attempts. Michael clearly only cares about getting his money and not his customer satisfaction.
Vendor response 12/11/2019
Here at Michael B. Anthony our first priority is to ensure our clients are satisfied. The ...
flowers that were provided were the ones on the flower proposal sent to you. Unfortunately some varieties of flowers may come in different shades due to the growing season which is out of our control. I'm so sorry the corsages and boutonnieres were in that state during that time. Unfortunately the flowers were inspected when given to your mother and the corsages and boutonnieres were not in that condition when given to her. If there were any concerns regarding your vision prior to your wedding, we would have addressed them. Some of your concerns do not match up with your email after your wedding that you sent us which I personally addressed. You also stated in that email that the flowers were "so very beautiful". I do care about all my clients and responded to all your emails/calls promptly. Thank you for your feedback.

Looking for a florist for your wedding or next event? Look no further because Michael B. Anthony is by far the best florist in the metro Detroit area. As a recent bride, I can vogue for how incredibly talented and experience Michael and his team is - they made my wedding dreams and vision come true and much more. Michael helped ease my stressed mind - I was pretty unexperienced with all that was needed to plan a wedding - but Michael helped me from the start in letting me know exactly what I need for the big day. I had some ideas of what I wanted - but also was very open minded with my flowers and centerpieces - but when the day came - my heart stopped when I saw my bouquet - it was everything and more than I could've ever imagined. It was stunning - along with everything else that Michael B. Anthony provided - bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and other essential flowers. Not only are they talented and experience, but they provide amazing service and support along the way with very reasonable prices. For any bride reading this, if you are considering Michael B. Anthony - you will NOT be disappointed. Absolutely amazing - I will be recommending to everyone :)

We had a phenomenal experience with Michael B! Not only was he incredibly understanding, friendly and knowledgeable, he was extremely accommodating to last minute changes. After a preliminary trial about a month from our wedding we realized our initial plan was not working and Michael B. worked very closely with my mom to completely start over and knocked it out of the park! The day of setting up he was prompt, efficient and willing to make adjustments. He and his team were incredibly kind and gracious with their time as well and really helped us pull together a BEAUTIFUL day tearing down and resetting up the pergola they created in our reception hall as well. Michael B. is incredibly knowledgeable, creative and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend him and his team to all future weddings!

My husband and I were incredibly disappointed with the level of service and the way we were treated by Michael B. Anthony Florists and we suggest other couples give some serious consideration before booking him for their wedding.
We met with Michael after reading many of his stellar reviews and knew that he was the recipient of several awards for his work. For these reasons we made an appointment to discuss our wedding plans and what we were looking for. During that initial consultation we found Michael to be professional and we were impressed by the work examples he shared with us. After this first meeting we thought we were in good hands, but it turns out that was not the case.
On the day of our wedding we were incredibly disappointed with what was presented to us. Our boutonnieres were not at all what we had specifically asked for, and the poor excuses he provided instead broke before we even began our ceremony. As a result, none of our wedding photos (which we spent a great deal of money on) include what we hoped would be an important part of our wedding attire.
In addition to the mistake made with the boutonnieres, we felt the other flowers and arrangements were way below the level of work shown to us in his previous work examples. The corsages worn by both our mothers were brown within a few hours, despite being kept cool as soon as they were presented to us. The table decorations were simply a few roses in a glass vase and were something that could have been created by an amateur, and the arrangements that were created for our outdoor wedding ceremony paled in comparison to what we were shown during our initial consultation.
In addition to being incredibly disappointed and upset by what was presented to us, we, and several of our guests were also uncomfortable by the fact a member of his team showed up to our wedding ceremony wearing a "Blue Lives Matter" t shirt.
We did our best to not let the unprofessional work of one vendor spoil our wedding day, and waited a few weeks until after our wedding to share our concerns with Michael before posting any reviews publicly. Sadly, Michael's response and attitude were equally as poor as his product.
While Michael did accept fault for completely ignoring our request for a specific type of boutonniere and agreed to refund the cost of these, his response to our other criticisms was at best unprofessional and at worst, frankly rude.
When we explained that we felt the level of service we received was not equal to the examples he had previously shown us, his response was simply that "that would cost more money." However, in our initial consultation we never discussed our budget; we told him what we wanted, he showed us examples, and gave us a quote that we agreed to.
Michael refused to accept any additional responsibility for his poor level of work or provide anything resembling a reasonable apology, and while we tried to continue to communicate with him in a professional and mature way, he responded by blocking my husband and I from his social media accounts.
To this day we are still unsure why such a highly reviewed and award winning florist would provide such disappointing service. We know that he was also planning his own wedding around the same time of ours, so we can only assume he put his own needs before those of his paying customers.
If this lengthy review has not made it clear enough, we strongly suggest that other couples do NOT hire Michael B. Anthony.

At Michael B. Anthony our first priority is to ensure our clients are satisfied. We ask fo...
r a budget in the initial consultation so we can identify the amount and types of flowers that should be used. We did receive one from you in our initial consultation. A detailed estimate and contract were given to you, as well as an option for mock presentations. On the day of the wedding, I directly handed you the floral items. You both were present during setup, inspected our work, and did not mention anything. Regarding the corsages, we did deliver them in good condition. Unfortunately, we cannot control the state of the flowers once they are delivered. Our company provided everything that was stated on your contract. If there were any concerns regarding your vision prior to your wedding, we would have addressed them. In regards to the t-shirt, our company has a dress code policy which our staff must follow. We are very sorry your guests and yourselves were uncomfortable however the person who wore that tshirt is not part of our staff. We have responded to all of your emails and calls before and after the wedding. When we did discuss the concerns after the wedding and I asked why wasn’t anything mentioned to me on the day of the wedding, I was told that “I felt like I didn’t have to say anything.” We strive to make our couple’s special day remarkable and we will continue to do that. Thank you for your feedback.

Michael B. Anthony and his team were a dream to work with. From the moment that I met with him, he completely understood the vision that we had for our special day. My husband and I wanted something classic and Michael definitely delivered on that. We opted to just to flowers for the reception, but we were also doing the ceremony and reception in the same room. Michael very kindly arranged to flowers to be a part of the ceremony, and it was absolutely perfect! I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day and a more perfect and professional florist! Book him and his team ASAP!

Michael did an incredible job with the flowers and centerpieces for our wedding! My bridal bouquet was stunning and the bridesmaids bouquets, groomsmen boutonnieres, and table arrangements were beautiful! Michael was so professional and great to work with! He made everything SO easy and was able to work with my budget to make everything affordable but still look like a million bucks. He perfectly captured our style and we received many complements from our family and guests on the arrangements! We were so pleased with everything! Highly recommend working with Michael B. Anthony for any event!

Finding the perfect florist for a wedding as everyone knows is one of the biggest decisions that you make early on in the process. We never looked back after we met Michael and saw his work. He beautifully weaves his extraordinary talent, creativity, use of color, space and texture with every one of his flowers and designs. Everything he did was exquisite from the table-scapes to my daughters bouquet to the smallest details in the boutonnieres. Michael was extremely professional and responsible from the moment we met throughout the entire planing process - even when we threw him a few curve balls! He was an absolute pleasure to work with and everyone raved about how stunning everything looked. I would recommend Michael B. Anthony 100% to anyone looking for a great florist for a special event!

The minute I saw Michael's work I knew I needed him for my wedding day. The usage of color, greenery, and arrangement is just to die for, and he proved his spectacular work on my wedding day. His attention to detail was perfect, and there were little touches throughout the ballroom that made things just come together. I used Michael for not only my flowers but our table overlays and runners, and everything just looked magical. We received so many compliments!! My bouquet and the girls bouquets looked amazing in pictures too. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Michael B Anthony really is the best Florist in Metro Detroit, you will love everything about the service and the florals. We can't thank Michael B Anthony enough for making our day even better! Love The Kings

Michael was amazing to work with. If I could have hired him to plan my whole wedding, I would have. He was so organized, timely, and truly listened to what I wanted as a bride. The flowers arrive fresh and ready to go. The center pieces were exactly what I wanted and created dimension in the large reception venue. Highly highly recommend.

The flowers were insane! My bouquet absolutely blew me away. Michael was very responsive, very easy to work with, and created an incredible look while working within our budget. He created beautiful low arrangements and candles/greenery for alternating tables. The boutonnieres were gorgeous and held together with copper wire for a very stunning effect. Highly recommend!!

Michael is the absolute best. I chose him because I knew I would be able to tell him what I wanted, and he would be able to execute it flawlessly with very little directions. He has definitely found his calling, because he has a way of designing arrangements that flow seamlessly for your event.
We're so happy we chose him, everything was beautiful, especially the bridal bouquets! I would recommend him 100%. Thank you Michael!

Michael B. Anthony was a dream to work with for my wedding. The process from beginning to end was so easy and they delivered exactly what I was looking for on my wedding day. All the flowers were beautiful and I received so many compliments from the church and the reception. Michael even attached my rosary to my bouquet (last minute) when he delivered the flowers. Thank you again for that! I highly recommend this company!!

From beginning to end, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Michael. We were incredibly nervous with our color choices for the wedding, and how everything would turn out... I'm a very visual person, and it's hard for me to turn over the reigns completely to someone. We presented Michael with our floral/centerpiece ideas and he brought everything to life better than I and my (now) husband could have ever imagined. Everything was absolutely stunning. The colors were perfect, the centerpieces and all copper accents flowed so well. I constantly hear from the attendees of the event that the florals were some of the most beautiful they have ever seen, and I completely agree (and I've been to a LOT of weddings...). Michael has an eye for beauty. He turned our already beautiful venue into a stunning work of art. For all of your floral needs, you will NOT be disappointed with Michael B. Anthony.

It’s almost a month after my wedding and I am still hearing about how beautiful the flowers were. Michael designed the flowers for my wedding, reception, and bouquets for the bridal party. I was an out of town bride, so the first time I saw the flowers were at the wedding. This required a lot of trust, and Michael did an amazing job! I was floored when I saw every arrangement for the first time. He took all of ideas and took them to next level. He was very professional, I never once felt forgotten about or rushed. Michal also made time to make last minute adjustments, that were not small.

Michael is such a wonderful person to work with. Just after chatting with him for a bit he knew exactly what I was envisioning. Always responded to my a million questions promptly and was able to accommodate to some changes. The day of my wedding everything was set up on time and looked magical. It was anything I’d ever wanted and more. Can not say enough great things about Michael B. Anthony and his team ... we are very grateful.

Michael B. Anthony did a great job on our centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnières, and even made baby’s breath crowns for our flower girls. He understood exactly what we were looking for to match the vision of our wedding ceremony and reception. He was affordable. He delivered the arrangements to the ceremony and reception location. He was always very responsive to communication. We would absolutely recommend Michael B. Anthony.
