At my consultation with the Blooming Idea, I was impressed with the amount of selection they had. I really had no idea what florals I wanted going into it, and Mary showed me many different options and built me a detailed quote with pictures th...
at I absolutely loved. She took the few ideas I had and made gorgeous arrangement layouts. The prices are extremely reasonable, and Mary answered any questions I had leading up to the wedding promptly, making me feel supported in the hectic time. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch, and the florals were gorgeous! I would highly recommend the Blooming Idea to all couples.
Where do I begin? I hired the blooming idea for my wedding and they provided the most beautiful flowers!! I worked with Mary throughout the process and she had great ideas and made my ideas a reality! I can’t thank them enough! They arrived the...

Thank you Yazil for your kind words. You were a pleasure to work with!
Any questions?
Debbie created pure magic for my wedding florals. I gave her little to no direction I simply said my colors are orange and blue and she somehow pulled off the florals of dreams! My only request was to include daisies in my bouquet and she incor...
porated 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!

Thank you Sarah for your kind words, so glad that you loved everything!
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 ou...
r 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 me to get exactly what I wanted, gave me ideas for repurposing m...

Hi Samantha, thank you for your kind words - it was a pleasure to be a part of your special day!
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! They were one of our wedding reception location’s preferred florist...
s 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 the groomsmen were gorgeous and fresh. We loved how the greener...

Mary and her team were so easy to work with—they went above and beyond and created GORGEOUS bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnières, etc. for my wedding. The flowers were fresh, beautiful and truly made me smile. The Booming Idea turned my dreams...

My bouquet was absolutely stunning!
Working with The Blooming Idea was very easy! Hallie was very good at communicating and put together the most beautiful decorations and bouquets. When we sat down to figure out what we would like, I had very few ideas and yet she was able to fi...

Taylor,
Thank you so much for your review! We are so thankful you chose The Blooming Idea for your wedding day!
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 s...
o 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!!

Lizzie and Mary are amazing!! I am an out of town bride and I found them a month before my wedding. I just gave them my color palette, budget, bouquet style and they created something 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 li...
ke. 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, unique, personalized and fit our budget. Nothing was "off the she...
lf".
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!

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 suggestions so I would have different options to choose from. When i...
t 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 had so many compliments on my bouquet- I am allergic to most flowers, so Kelly had to get super creative with what she could use that didn't have much smell to them! But it was wonderful and I didn't sneeze once!
I would definitely recommend them for all your flower needs!

This vendor is organized and dependable. You can trust that this vendor will go above and beyond to make sure your flowers will be a success!

ther. I brought them my mother's wedding dress (that was waaaaay to small for me to even attempt to wear) and we picked out which pieces of her dress to include around the base of my bouquet! They are lovely people, and I HIGHLY recommend them for your wedding!
We used Mary and the Blooming Idea for all of our flower needs. They provided a huge archway for our ceremony with flowers decorating the arch. We had flower petals in a spiral pattern on the aisle, and 2 big pots of flowers at the back of the ...
aisle. I requested peony bouquets, and luckily they were able to get peonies in April when they're not really in season. The Blooming Idea provided candelabras and candles and flowers for our centerpieces and a draped floral arrangement for our sweetheart table.
Mary is so easy to work with, and the flowers turned out to be beautiful!
The Blooming Idea did my wedding on April 9th. I worked with them for almost an entire year to make sure the details were all sorted out. They were great with accommodating my needs as I was an out of town bride. We had many email and phone con...
versations leading up to our meeting in February. I felt very good about the selections they made for me and the prices I was given. I sent them a ton pictures so that they would know exactly what I was looking for. On the day of, I was handed a beautiful bouquet. However, it was nothing like I'd imagined nor did it look anything like the pictures I sent them. It was VERY. VERY small. Again, beautiful arrangement and it got the job done but not what I had in mind. This company is good for customer service and a decent value but make sure you know exactly what you are getting so you're not surprised when they show up on your wedding day. Obviously, I was the only one that noticed that the flowers weren't exactly what I had pictured so they got the job done but when you spend so much time (14 months in my case) planning and envisioning your wedding day, it's a slight bummer when something doesn't turn out how you imagined it.
Wonderful women to work with and easy process. Everything the bride asked for was done to perfection and the price was very affordable
Wonderful place!!
I am so happy with The Blooming Idea! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a florist. All of the flowers at my wedding were stunning! Mary was extremely helpful and easy to work with. I am so happy with the attention to detail and how p...

se we felt like she was so familiar with what we needed and our vision. The day of the wedding, there were no issues with delivery, everything was on time and in great condition. She made my bouquet exactly how I wanted it, and included a small picture I wanted of my grandfather. I would definitely recommend her for any event!!
MAry, I just want to thank you for the AMAZING job you and your crew did with the flower arrangements for our Wedding ceremony and reception. It has been a few weeks since the wedding and I still have people who have nothing but praises for al...

Undoubtedly you guys did an extraordinary job and I just wanted to say THANK YOU! Thank you for making our special day a dream come true!
Enjoyed our flowers long after my bridal portrait and wedding day. Florist was preferred florist with resort and table flowers were included. They also did our personal, rehearsal and ceremony flowers. Colors and design were lovely and as expec...

I worked with Mary who was great, very accommodating and really helped me orchestrate my 'wedding-day vision'. I was really excited for my flowers for the wedding.
The day of the wedding I received a text from one of Mary's employees telli...
ng me my bridesmaids bouquets came in pink instead of purple. I had been very clear about my colors, so although I appreciated her letting me know I wanted them fixed. After a little back and forth we came to an agreement on the bouquets, Mary must have pulled some strings and found purple flowers to replace the flowers that were dyed wrong. Although a little different than what I had expected they turned out absolutely beautiful. The ceremony flowers were exactly what I wanted and the reception centerpieces were breathtaking! I was very pleased overall with my wedding flowers and would definitely recommend The Blooming Idea.

Thank you so much for the kind review and that everything worked out on the day. It's always my goal to make a bride happy on her wedding day and I'm so glad that you were happy with everything.
We worked with the Blooming Idea for our June 21st wedding, and we were so happy with the result. We felt that they were priced very well and produced high quality for our budget. Our arrangements were beautiful, and everything went very smooth...
ly logistically. Mary was very available for communications. Overall, we were so pleased.
Mary's originality and brilliant eye for design created scenes that we were in awe of. The wedding flowers were so romantic and every bouquet, boutonniere, centerpiece, decoration and arrangement was perfect. It was absolutely stunning.
I ca...
n’t even begin to tell you how many people are still commenting on how majestic it all was. The reception tent felt as if we were in a fairytale garden (all flowers provided by the Blooming Idea), which was amazing. It was magnificent and brought about such a dreamy aura. It all came to be even better than anything that we had imagined. Working with Mary was such a pleasure and we will cherish the photos and memories of how gorgeous everything was forever!
Mary and Brian of The Blooming Idea are easy to work with and worked with us on picking the exact look and feel we want for our wedding while staying in your budget. They created the most elegant and intimate wedding ceremony for us with rose p...
etals down the aisle, a beautiful Texas-sized bouquet, classic rose boutonnieres, and simple yet elegant florals for the pews. I would recommend them to anyone having their wedding in The Woodlands!
Mary McCarthy and her staff outdid themselves on all of the flowers for my daughter's wedding. The centerpieces, aisle arrangements and all the bouquets were perfect for the outdoor country-chic wedding ceremony and reception. They were exact...
ly what my daughter had envisioned for her special day. Mary is the nicest and most patient person to work with, plus she has established a great team who delivered and set-up everything on time. A++!
Mary whom we worked with very closely got what we wanted in a nut shell. We had a winter wedding and my wedding colors where Red and Blue. So we used white flowers and white back drop to get the desired effect in both the wedding hall and the...
reception. My gown was a beautiful rich red. So the white really set it off for me. Mary also created a beautiful bouquet. It was a wire wrap with blue beads and white pearls placed through out the wire. Then she wove bear grass in it with orchids attached to the outside of. My bride maids both had a bouquet made from antheriums.
Blooming Idea did all of my centerpieces as well as some large standing arrangements for my ceremony. The arrangements were full and had a variety of blooms and held up well throughout the night and about a week afterwards as well.
This place had the worst service I have ever received. We showed up to our consultation and they did not have any flowers for usto look at, but still wanted us to pick based on pictures of other arrangements that looked nothing like what we wan...
ted. Also, they could not tell us what the price of the arrangements we wanted would be because they weren't sure what the price of the rental for their vases were. We had to order and pay for samples of what we wanted. When we showed up to see the samples, the flowers were wilted and very low quality. The overall service was completelly unprofessional and I would highly recommend to any bride getting married in the area to go elsewhere.
Amazing! The flowers at my wedding were spectacular, just what I wanted. If I could give them 10.0/5.0 for flexibility, I would! I kept making changes, and they were completely professional and open. They were also just wonderful to work with i...
n general. Highly recommend!
The Blooming Idea was a great florist. My consultant helped me figure out exactly what flowers I wanted. The prices were reasonable, and the flowers were beautiful!
Everything turned out gorgeous. Consultation was an easy walk through with lots of organized picture books to look at. A very good value.
