n happier! Such an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you Maggie!
Maggie was awesome to work with and our wedding florals were beautiful! Deciding on the different components of flowers can be overwhelming but Maggie is ready to offer her advice ...
to make the process easy and bring your ideas to life!
At the beginning, my experience was great. Maggie had great ideas and was good at communicating. I was excited to work with her. Until..the actual wedding day. The issue comes down...
to her organizational and technology skills. She did not do half of the stuff we discussed because she didn't read the correct notes or inspo pics of what I wanted. They were the wrong color flowers, wrong type of bouquet and she missed a whole section of flowers on the staircase. My friend had to go to the store to try to remake my bouquets the morning of my wedding. I am attaching my inspo pics of pastels with varying lengths versus what I got (last pic). She also did not read the email I sent telling her what room we were in that day but said she was roaming the hotel for an hour. Again, this comes down to a organizational or technology skills. Although I got some money back for her mistakes, it doesn't change the fact that the flowers weren't exactly what I wanted. I think she is a talented florist but overall disappointed.
Maggie was phenomenal to work with. She took our vision, and made it come to life better than I ever could have hoped for! She is attentive to detail and one of the hardest working...

Maggie was so kind throughout the whole process and was a pleasure to work with! From the first planning calls, she was thorough in going over all the small details and providing ...
updates to me as needed. On the day of our wedding, all the floral arrangements were beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned. She also helped set everything up on the day and put the boutonnières on the men and ring bearer. Thank you Maggie!
Maggie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was quick to respond to any questions/ updates I needed. But more than anything the flowers were exquisite. Our wedding was in ...
March, not really a great time of the year for flowers, but I was blown away. My bouquet was stunning, as was my matron of honor. I had 4 little boys who had the cutest little boutonnieres to add to their tuxedo. Maggie helped putting all the boutonnieres on the men and little boys. She’s truly very special and I would 100% recommend her to anybody that needs flowers for their occasion.
Maggie did my parents 50th wedding anniversary in November. She did an amazing job! She went over and above everything was absolutely gorgeous. Her professionalism was top notch an...
d such a kind and caring person to work with. Would highly recommend Maggie for any of your floral needs! She's the best!
Maggie did such an incredible job with our wedding flowers!!!! They were exactly what we were envisioning and they made the day feel so complete - from the gorgeous big displays to...
the centerpieces to the wristlets to the corsages to the bouquets, we were getting compliments all night and we LOVE how they enhanced the atmosphere of our day!!
A special thank you for the bridal bouquet - I loved the way it was tied up with buttons in the back! And the size of it was perfect, the mix of whites was perfect, the pops of blue were so fun and personalized to us, and overall it was so elegant and fresh. It really felt like my security blanket throughout the day and made me feel like the best bridal version of myself I could be. We will treasure the photos of the flowers forever. I preserved them myself in resin after our wedding.
A sincere thank you to Maggie for putting them together, for moving them around throughout the day, and for doing an overall amazing job!! You really helped make our day and we didn't have to worry about anything flowers-related!
I'm taking Maggie as my florist. She did fabulous job at my sister's wedding, and there was no way I could've chosen to go with anyone but her! She did everything from making the a...

ly able to deliver. She showed me different options from her past work as options to better understand what I did and did not like. I don’t know how she did it but she was able to work in our venues time crunch limiting her to an hour. I am so glad we chose not just flowers for our day!

We're endlessly grateful for her artistry and dedication, making our wedding day so much more beautiful with her stunning floral creations.
I enthusiastically recommend Not Just Flowers. Maggie was absolutely wonderful. She immediately tuned into what we wanted for our wedding and produced absolutely gorgeous bouquets ...
and floral decorations for our ceremony and reception. She also brought in easels and decorated our cake free of charge! Maggie was truly so kind and made the entire process so easy!
Maggie at Not Just Flowers was everything we hoped for in a florist and so much more. My daughter got married Sept. 30th, 2023 and we had the pleasure of having Not Just Flowers o...
ut of Plainville, CT as our florist. From the minute we met Maggie, we knew she was the florist for us. She went above and beyond creating beautiful florals, delivering them to multiple locations ("Getting ready sites", church location, venue, and then again to pick up the vases at the venue at the end of the celebration). She takes such pride in all she does. She listened to my daughters preferences and was able to create her vision using her own talents to produce the most perfect arrangements, bouquets and church pew decor. I would highly recommend Not Just Flowers as your florist without hesitancy. Maggie, thank you for making my daughter's day so beautiful and stress free. We appreciate all you did for us with your kind, compassionate support.

From the first day of planning to our wedding day, Maggie was amazing to work with! She really listened to our vision and brought it to life, while also keeping in mind our budget....
You can tell she has a real big passion for flower design, which was apparent throughout the whole process. She made sure to give advice on what flowers are in season, while also staying within the design we envisioned. She made our reception look incredible by suggesting we add candles to our centerpieces, which elevated the design even more. My bridal bouquet was so elegant and beautiful, as well as my bridesmaids bouquets. I would work with Maggie over and over again! Thank you for your hard work - you made our wedding so much more memorable!
Maggie is amazing and the flowers were STUNNING!
We hired Maggie for our June 2023 wedding after being recommended to hire her by my friend who used her for her wedding the year prior. From the initial consultations to the actual...
day, Maggie was professional and followed our vision to a tee. I was in tears when I walked to my wedding venue and saw our wedding arch executed exactly how I envisioned it. Maggie was also able to make a last minute bouquet for my husband’s groomswoman. My family was in awe of how she was able to create a beautiful bouquet for her in such a short amount of time! Lastly, Maggie’s prices are definitely reasonable and she is willing to work in your budget. I would absolutely recommend Maggie!
Maggie and team did an EXCELLENT job with putting our vision together ~ from bouquets, to the arch, bouts and the corsages, all were more beautiful than we pictured! When we were b...
ooking her, she was incredibly open about another negative review/situation and that this is not her full time job. This does not detract from the outcome, as we were blown away. She ties together the pieces very well ~ from using the same flowers on the chairs to go around the cake (if desired), to using the bouquets to tie to the bouts, and moved our archway from the main area to the head table reception area (same venue) and added ribbons and lights to pull it all together. She even came with backup bout for the groom (and a smaller backup bouquet that could double as a throwing bouquet) in case anything happened, which as someone who is naturally anxious, this was just amazing extra!!!
Thank you Maggie!!!

had and run with them. She did an incredible job and I couldn’t be happier! Everyone raved about how nice they looked and how great the centerpieces looked! My flowers have obviously dried since then but even now they still look amazing!
Maggie was a pleasure to work with. I was glad I found her as she is a small business and has an obvious passion for flowers. We did not have a huge budget for flowers as we prio...
ritized photo/video and entertainment. As stated in a previous review, there was a price increase from the initial quote due to inflation, which can be expected. She works out of her home, which helps pass the savings onto the customers. The total cost at the end was a little bit more than I was hoping to spend on flowers though, but it was also due to a higher guest count than we planned for.
As a bride, I trust vendor judgment. I do not know anything about flowers, so all I gave Maggie was a color theme and interest board. I did not care what flowers she used as long as it matched the colors. She was very responsive via email, so I felt good about that. We had a large floral garland and she had extra flowers that she threw into it to make it full. She also managed to move that garland to the sweetheart table (which were very heavy too!) during cocktail hour along with extra fabric.
She had everything set up before my wedding party and I arrived. The bouquets and centerpieces were so beautiful!
A couple things to note -
1. There is an extra charge for vases - I did not opt for these, but my venue provided water in vases
2. One of the boutonnieres broke, so the father of the groom went without it. My husband's boutonniere also deteriorated throughout the day, which did affect some photos. Maggie refunded me for that.
Inflation has made the cost of everything go up so although I signed a contract with Maggie 10 months before our wedding, I was willing to give her a 10% increase but she wanted to...
charge ~20% and then wouldn't negotiate on substitutes for the flowers that would fall within my budget. And said she would need to requote me (charge me more) if I wanted less flowers. So I had to cancel and now she doesn't want to give me my deposit back because the contract states no refunds although she gave me no other choice (I had a very specific budget for this hence why I chose her in the first place). I'm only a couple of months away from the wedding and may need to get a lawyer involved. It's ruined a huge thing that i was very excited about. I do not recommend her at all.
Maggie did an amazing job with our wedding flowers! Our flowers for our May 2022 wedding were incredible. She went above and beyond to communicate and explain the process. I was am...
azed when she brought me my bouquet. It was so beautiful! All of the flowers were so stunning and reasonably priced. From the ceremony flowers to the centerpieces, all were gorgeous. My husband and I were so happy with how it all came out. We got tons of compliments from our guests and even the employees at the venue. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Maggie is truly gifted when it comes to floral arrangements! I was in love with my flowers and my guests couldn’t stop raving about the centerpieces and bouquets. In addition, Magg...
ie was a stress-free vendor. She was on time with all deliveries and even came back at the end of the night to pick up rentals and pack up the flowers for guests to take home. She tried to save me money where she could, but honestly her work and service was well worth the money! I would absolutely recommend her for your special day!
Maggie absolutely blew me away with the execution of having a contemporary theme with a tropical twist for my wedding! On top of that, she was so enthusiastic when I asked her to a...
lso help out with some floral pieces for a South Asian cultural event (Gaye Holud or Haldi Ceremony). Though it was her first time preparing wearable floral pieces or this event, she did an absolutely amazing job and was soooo eager and excited to take on the extra project! She is so passionate about florals and so caring with her work. She even personally delivered the pieces to the various locations I had for ceremony, reception and hotel. Not only does she do flowers but also rents out amazing decor, elevated center pieces, table numbers and candles that truly elevated the space and pulled the look of the reception all together! I cannot recommend Maggie enough! Book her now!!
