Jen was so easy to work with! Native Bloom was my favorite vendor for my wedding, just because the process was so easy when I thought it was going to be difficult. She provided me ...
with options and was very clear about any additional costs with specific flower choices. She worked with my wants and recommended flowers based on the colors I chose. All the flowers were beautiful and perfectly fit our reception and wedding theme! I can tell she really loves what she does and that is a wonderful thing to have in a vendor because then you know they put their heart into it and make sure it looks perfect and it absolutely did!!

I couldn’t be happier with Jen and her team at Native Bloom Florist! I wanted beautiful wedding flowers without overspending, aiming for a simple yet elegant look. Initially, I had...
no concrete ideas about the types of flowers or specific arrangements. After sharing a few photos for inspiration for the ceremony arch and bridal bouquet, I trusted Jen to handle the rest—and she delivered beyond my expectations. She provided great suggestions and was incredibly flexible when I needed to make adjustments, like taking away a few table centerpieces when our guest count was lower than expected. The ceremony arch was absolutely stunning, and I was thrilled with how everything turned out. Thank you for bringing my vision to life!

textural elements that we were looking for, and have the right hues. We were blown away by the flowers on the wedding day and (despite not seeing the vibe that we were looking for in the native bloom portfolio) we received the flowers that were perfect for us. Our guests noted the lovely arrangements as well. I highly recommend working with Jen and Native Bloom.

I wanted to make a change to the florals a few months out from the wedding, and she got on a call with me to discuss and quickly made the changes.

Native Bloom has a team of efficient, amazing professionals who did the florals for our wedding day. It was clear from our first phone call with Jen that she was 100% committed to ...
making our vision happen. Jen was responsive and kind and worked with us through a few proposal revisions to give us gorgeous florals that still worked within our budget. On the day of, they were extremely punctual and had the florals set up quickly, even though it started raining. The centerpieces were beautiful - they were the first thing our guests commented about. And I loved my bridal bouquet! It looked just like the inspo pic I shared of what I wanted.

We had a great experience with Native Bloom for our wedding! Her team went above and beyond to realize our vision for the florals. We wanted a wildflower inspired wedding and they ...
absolutely nailed it with the chuppah, bouquets, and centerpieces. They also helped us hang up some last-minute decorations during set up. And the floral decorations for the ceremony itself were way beyond what we expected or asked for. Overall I would highly recommend, this team really cares about creating a beautiful space for an event.

ely accommodating - from changing my color palette a few months before my wedding, to showing me all the different options for candle rentals. All the decisions I had to make, Jen gave me time to sit on my decisions especially since I’m indecisive. We had four Zoom calls and she was always willing to talk through options and make recommendations that worked for my ideas and my budget. They made my spring floral wedding dream come true!

I will start off by saying that my communications with Jen prior to the wedding were great, she was responsive and helpful (for example, I forgot to add a boutonnière for my dad in...
the initial quote and she was able to accommodate this request for free a week before the wedding).
But, unfortunately I just was not really happy with the florals at my wedding. I didn’t feel like the arrangements or bouquets matched my vision and several requests I made were not reflected in the florals. For example, I asked for no white flowers and white flowers were used. The color scheme was generally just off and I didn’t think the flowers in my bouquet looked very good together color-wise. There were 2 large urn planters that were the focal point for my ceremony, and reception, and I communicated with Jen their size and depth. I wanted large, statement arrangements in these planters and communicated this clearly, even following up via phone to ensure the arrangements would be very large. Jen assured me that she was planning to make large arrangements that matched the size of arrangements shown in those planters in a photo. When Jen’s assistant placed the arrangements on the wedding day, they barely even peeked out of the planters, and were so small it looked ridiculous. I was so so disappointed in how small these pieces were and they looked so skimpy and embarrassing. I would have happily paid more to get what I had asked for, so I’m not sure what happened here. I wish that she would have either told me she couldn’t make those arrangements or increased the price to add more florals. Those were truly the only “extra” florals I had, so I wanted them to be a statement and they were not. Otherwise, lots of the bud vases and arrangements were dry and droopy by the time we sat down at the reception (including most of the arrangements at my table, the head table) and I noticed that some of the bud vases didn’t have water in them to begin with. The candles provided were supposed to have wax catchers but those were forgotten, leading to my tablecloth rentals being damaged and costing hundreds of dollars in damages that I then had to pay after the wedding. The lack of attention to these details is unprofessional and cost me lots of money and having droopy dead flowers in a lot of my wedding photos since the bud vases on the head table were not all filled with water. If you use this company, I would recommend asking for a sample bouquet prior to the wedding to double check the color scheme is what you had wanted. I know a lot of floral companies offer this to ensure the brides vision is reflected in the florals prior to the wedding, and Jen should really offer this service. Some of the arrangements did match my vision but others just were really off, particularly my bridal bouquet, so I’m not sure what happened here.

I’m very disappointed with our experience with Jen from Native Bloom Florist.
From the beginning, communication was incredibly frustrating. I explained early on that I couldn’t m...
ake decisions about flowers and colors over email, I needed to see options in person. Despite multiple requests, she insisted I finalize the style, colors, sizes and make payment before meeting. We finally met with her just a few days before the wedding, which added a lot of unnecessary stress. Throughout the entire process, Jen had a consistently rude and dismissive attitude.
We specifically requested blue hydrangeas, but she claimed the shade we wanted was out of season, despite the fact that we saw them available the same week at Costco and grocery stores.
Jen arrived late on the rehearsal day. She had told us she’d be there at 3 PM, but our photographer arrived an hour or two later and had already started taking pictures while the floral setup was still incomplete, which was extremely disappointing. The arrangements did not reflect what we had discussed, and the colors for the rehearsal dinner were completely off.
On the wedding day, several key items we had paid for were missing, including candles, vases, and floral arrangements for the cake, cake table and welcome sign.
After the wedding, my husband and I reached out multiple times via email with no response. When she finally replied, she said "I apologize for the wedding sign, I did not see it present when setting up. There were florals for it, but I didn't see the sign. I'm so sorry! The cake was also not present, but this is my fault for not following through with waiting for that to be set up in order to add the hydrangea segments". Her decision was simply to leave without asking anyone where the cake table or the sign were located or informing our planner or venue staff. Her solution was to refund just $110, in comparison to the thousands we paid, despite several services and items not being fulfilled and the many mistakes she made. She did not acknowledge or take responsibility for any of the other issues, and we found this resolution to be truly insulting.
We trusted her with a meaningful part of our wedding day, and that trust was broken. I hope this review helps future couples avoid the stress and disappointment we experienced. Avoid the headache and choose someone professional who values your vision and your wedding day.

Florals were a very important part of our wedding. We marked it as one of the highest priority items and wanted to ensure that we found a florist who could replicate our shared vis...
ion. We approached the decor with the vibes of “a garden, but make it fall with a dash of whimsy and fantasy”. Jen at Native Bloom was very quick to pick up on these vibes and delivered a quote with inspiration pictures that matched what we were looking for.
Throughout the entire process, Jen was very easy to work with. We had a reasonable budget for the flowers and when there were aspects of her design that fell out of our price range, she quickly worked with us to find more cost-effective alternatives. We also collected a lot of vintage glassware for the table settings and were keen on having some of them used in the floral design. Jen was kind enough to meet us halfway between her shop and our home to pick up the vessels and incorporated them beautifully into the tablescapes. She provided fun suggestions to the floral design, including adding darker red tones to our dusty pink and sage green wedding colors and finding the perfect, fluffiest, most mystical moss to add to the tables. Jen helped to make our wedding day look and feel beautiful and we are so happy with the work she did!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jen from Native Bloom for our wedding, and she truly exceeded every expectation! From the start, Jen was not only incredibly affordable...
but also brought such a creative and personalized touch to every arrangement. Her attention to detail and the beauty she crafted in her florals was nothing short of breathtaking.
Jen was by far the easiest vendor we worked with. She was always responsive and quick to answer any questions we had, which made the entire process stress-free. What really stood out was how familiar she was with our venue. Before we even contacted her, we had chosen our location, and Jen had already worked there before. She showed us stunning options for arrangements and even provided photos of those setups at our specific venue. This made the decision-making process so smooth and easy for us!
Not only was she easy to work with, but Jen also made thoughtful recommendations that helped us get the most out of our budget. Instead of upselling us on additional arrangements, she found creative ways to repurpose florals we already selected for our sweetheart table, which saved us money without sacrificing beauty. Her honesty and expertise are unmatched.
If you’re looking for a florist who is both affordable and incredibly talented, look no further than Native Bloom. Jen will make sure your vision comes to life in the most beautiful way. We couldn’t be happier with our experience, and we highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding! You won’t be disappointed!

e delicate boutonnieres to the lush bridal bouquet. The flower combinations they curated were not only beautiful but also meaningful, with each bloom carefully selected to reflect our wedding theme.
Our consultation with Jen was wonderful and fun. Her eye for flowers made me feel confident that my bouquet was going to be timeless, graceful, and unique. She included ranunculus, tea roses, blue thistle, and other blooms to give my bouquet a level of beauty I couldn't describe.
The centerpieces were nothing short of gorgeous, as we selected to have long lush green table runners with hurricane candles throughout. Our guests loved this because they weren't just typical floral centerpieces and were a focal point of admiration . The fireplace designs were standout, transforming an ordinary space into a romantic haven that complemented the warmth and joy of our celebration.
Above all, the customer service provided by the florist was wonderful. Jen was attentive, responsive, and displayed a genuine passion for her craft. Her guidance through the selection process was invaluable, and her ability to bring my vision to life was truly impressive.
This florist is a master of their art, delivering not just flowers, but a full sensory experience that enhanced the beauty and sentiment of our special day.
Rating: 5/5 - A perfect blend of creativity, beauty, and service, highly recommended for any wedding or special event.

It’s nerve racking not knowing how everything is going to turn out until your wedding day but Jen and her team OUTDID themselves. I could not have been more satisfied with the service and product. Everything was exactly how I imagined if not better. Super professional and they know exactly what they are doing. 10/10 recommend!
