only request was to include daisies in my bouquet and she incorporated them into everything!! I was floored. The colors were vibrant yet fit perfectly for my fall wedding. It was a hint of boho with a classic. You cannot go wrong with The Blooming Idea they know what they are doing! They are responsive, and professional set everything up exactly as requested, and were on time. Debbie even texted me as she was creating my bouquet to make sure I liked what she was doing. I cannot say enough about her and the team. You will be so happy with their work!

There aren't enough great things to say about The Blooming Idea! My husband and I worked with Mary twice, both in 2020 and 2021, since our original wedding had to be cancelled the ...
day before due to a family member getting COVID. We still had our ceremony in 2020 with only immediate family members, and Mary went above and beyond to ensure it was still a beautiful moment. She even created a flower arch, which wasn't in our original plan, to make the most out of the flowers that were ordered. She and her team truly went above and beyond. So, when it came time to re-plan our reception in 2021, it was no question that we would love to work with Mary and The Blooming Idea again. The professionalism, empathy, and creativity shown by Mary and her team were unmatched. Not to mention, the flower arrangements were stunning! I would highly recommend them to anyone, and my husband and I couldn't be more grateful!

I didn’t want a ton of florals for my wedding- I love flowers but couldn’t stomach spending so much money on something so perishable. Mary (the owner at Blooming Idea) worked with ...

I would recommend The Blooming Idea to anyone, we had a great experience using them!!
It was a pleasure to work with Mary and The Blooming Idea for my wedding in September 2020! Communication was always quick and thorough and their work was absolutely beautiful! The...
y were one of our wedding reception location’s preferred florists and we can understand why. Their service is top notch at the best price. I had a silk bouquet made for my bridal portraits. After seeing it, I was not 100% pleased with how it turned out. The staff worked with me and the bouquet until it was just perfect. On the wedding day, my husband and I decided to use real flowers throughout and everything was gorgeous: my bouquet, the bridesmaids’ bouquets, the mothers’ corsages, the men’s boutonnieres, the church, and the reception. Every arrangement looked fresh, vibrant, and classy. We received so many compliments and have already recommended them to family and friends. We highly recommend The Blooming Idea. Their floral arrangements made our wedding day that much more beautiful!
Mary was so wonderful to work with during the planning stages and was very responsive to any and all changes I wanted to make. The bouquets for the bridesmaids and boutonnieres for...

ding! They absolutely blew me away! We were on constant back and forth communication during COVID-19 and this we super appreciated. Nothing is better than getting verbal confirmation that everything will be okay! Exactly what we wanted and can not thank or recommend them enough!!!
Mary is the sweetest! One of the few who would do my Valentine's Day wedding.
Our first meeting she took us around the shop. Showed us different flowers they had, showed us what ...
they were working on for other weddings. Thought that was nice so you could actually see everything. Pricing was good, may have been a little higher (not sure if it was) since it was Valentine's Day and flowers tend to go up in price. But it wasn't anything unreasonable like other florists I talked to.
When she sent back the quote, she showed pictures of the flowers she was thinking of using for everything (bouquet, flower arrangements, etc) which I thought was nice. Instead of just names of flowers I met have not known.
Wedding day- I only had flowers for the ceremony area. They were beautiful!!! I'm still in love with my mantel piece. So many rose petals, I didn't think I was going to get as many as I did! I did repurpose my bridesmaid bouquet for centerpieces on my head table. And move the mantel piece to my cake table room. Which let me get more out of my flowers.
It looked like it was straight off my Pinterest board. Can not recommend them enough!!
Gorgeous flowers and such a sweet company to work with! Amy was wonderful and I felt such a family vibe from her. She made it so easy and made my dream vision come to life. Highly ...

hing better than what I imagined. My bridesmaids wore sari's in different colors and the flowers tied in their outfits and my wedding gown so well.
Additionally, they were so kind and personable. Lizzie helped me bring my vision to life and the pergola where I got married looked beautiful with the organic greenery. We were able to stay in budget and have a beautiful, memorable day. I could not recommend them enough!!

Mary McCarthy at The Blooming Idea is incredible! She was by far one of my favorite wedding vendors. I did not have a firm idea of how I wanted my florals to look, but I gave Mary ...
my inspiration and discussed with her what I liked and didn’t like. We received her proposal the next day and it was the best proposal I’ve ever seen - she includes a picture of every flower and greenery for each item and breaks everything down. Her proposal was the only one (out of 3) that included pictures and the only one that gave me a true idea of what the florals would look like. She is very professional and was easy to work with throughout the process, and accommodated any changes we needed. When I saw the flowers the day of the wedding, they blew me away! They exceeded all of my expectations and were such a beautiful and special touch to the day. Highly recommend Mary at The Blooming Idea!
Amy N. and The Blooming Idea are truly incredible. She wrote the contract and had to amend it numerous times due to material changes and many other things. She was always prompt...
, friendly and professional! On the morning of the Bridal Photo Session, we had to be somewhere extra early and she came in at 7 am so we would have the bridal bouquet in time! Truly above and beyond the imagination! When the flowers arrived at the venue, she was timely, professional, and very attentive to our needs. Did I mention that the flowers were more than gorgeous? Amy is an incredible designer and very sweet! I advise ANYONE to use this florist for ALL your floral needs. The Blooming Idea ROCKS!!!!!!!
The Blooming idea was extremely helpful in customizing our wedding flowers. Amy and her colleagues worked hard to offer numerous options to ensure that our flowers were creative, u...
nique, personalized and fit our budget. Nothing was "off the shelf".
As many of the flowers were coming from volcano and hurricane-plagued Hawaii, they had a back-up plan in case the flowers did not show up (which they did - in perfect condition). Amy personally went to the venue several times to ensure that the arrangements were appropriate for the available space and then again to ensure they were properly situated. Our friends are still raving about them!

They did an amazing Job on my flowers and decorations. And the price was great too.

hat I had in mind. She was so easy to work with and did everything we needed.
Wonderful staff! Flower arrangements and bouquets were a work of art!
I cannot recommend The Blooming Idea enough! We planned out wedding out of town, so I wasn't able to set up a face to face consult. I emailed a few pictures and told her what I wa...

, was reliable, and I had about 50 more categories for them to meet! Ladies and gents-let me tell you that I’ve done the research for you! Mary is absolutely amazing! I couldn’t have been happier with what she did! It was everything I had envisioned plus more!!! I got married a couple weeks ago and my guests are still raving about how beautiful the flowers were!
They were great to work with and my flower arrangements were absolutely stunning. I received so many compliments on them throughout my wedding and after. Highly recommend!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
When it came to floral arrangements, I knew that I wanted to keep it simple. Mary was beyond informative and answered all of my questions as well as made sugg...
estions so I would have different options to choose from. When it came time for my bridals, I originally planned on putting a silk arrangement together myself... and let me tell y'all that is NOT easy! In a panic I called Mary and told her the situation and asked if there was any way I could get a last-minute bouquet for my pictures. Instead of charging me an arm and a leg for a bridal bouquet, she offered to arrange the silk flowers I had already purchased! LIFE SAVER! The day of the wedding, everything showed up on time, and all of the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnières were so beautiful. Again, so happy with our choice here!
I am not a huge fan of flowers, so I didn't want them to play a huge role in my wedding, therefore I didn't go with expensive flowers or a lot of them, but wow, these flowers were ...
gorgeous and were absolutely perfect! For what I thought I was spending I was going to get small bouquets but I got huge overflowing bright bouquets that everyone loved! I ended up thinking they were one of the best parts of the wedding! Way to turn a non flower girl into a flower lover!
