Debbie and her team did all of our wedding flowers and was fantastic to work with! As someone not overly familiar with flowers and was so helpful on giving me ideas/concepts to help me figure out what I wanted for our wedding day. Her team was super punctual and on-time and the flowers were beautiful! She also did all of the candles etc. with our centerpieces too and everything looked fantastic!
We are absolutely thrilled with the floral arrangements from The Flower Mercantile! From the initial consultation to the final blooms, Debbie's creativity and attention to detail were nothing short of exceptional. The bouquets, centerpieces, and floral accents exceeded our wildest dreams, perfectly complementing our wedding theme and venue. Each arrangement was crafted with care, bringing elegance and vibrancy to our special day. If you’re looking for a florist who combines professionalism with a genuine passion for floral design, The Flower Mercantile is the perfect choice.
We got married in September of 2023. In terms of importance flowers were lower on our list. We knew we wanted bouquets for the bridal party and a minimalistic look in our reception hall. Our event coordinator at Nazareth Hall recommended The Flower Mercantile to us during one of our planning appointments. We made an appointment with Debbie, described our needs for flowers, provided her with our budget and she brought our vision to life through a personalized digital portfolio.
On the day of the wedding, Debbie and her assistants were on time for set up, professional and checked in with us both prior to starting and before she left to ensure we were happy with how everything turned out. We would highly recommend working with Flower Mercantile!
Any questions?
Everything was great working with Deb, and the flowers turned out beautiful!
Debbie was very nice to communicate with but didn't fully execute my vision. She created two large beautiful pieces for the front of the ceremony that was also moved to our sweetheart table. Those were lovely. But the boutonnieres did not fit the guys tux pockets and kept falling out, no measurements occurred, my flower girls flower crown was a leaf crown with almost no flowers, and my bridal bouquet had pink and blush tones even though I specifically stated I wanted all white, with no blush or pink tones. My bridal bouquet flowers also looked old and wilted even before the ceremony started.

Karie- Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback in this review on both The Knot and Wedding Wire. It is valuable for us to hear about our clients experiences. I am sorry that your order didn't come as you dreamed it would, and sorr...
y to hear of the things that disappointed you. We will take your feedback and continue to grow upon this for our future clients. Thank you for your response.
I can’t say “thank you” enough to Debbie and her team!! Every step of the way, she communicated clearly and made sure she understood our vision. She also offered different ideas to fit within our budget, rather than try to upsell items that weren’t necessary. I completely trusted in her and I’m glad I did! On the day-of, her team set the room in record time. She even hand-delivered my bouquet to me to make sure I loved it. Everything looked fantastic and I haven’t stopped receiving compliments from guests!
Debbie, thank you again for everything you did for Sean and I. We feel so blessed to have worked with you ❤️❤️
Debbie was absolutely phenomenal! She went above and beyond my wedding floral wildest dreams! From our original consultation to her wedding day masterpiece, Debbie was nothing but the utmost accomodating florist I could have ever asked for. She puts so much pride and love into her work. You can really tell how much she enjoys creating beautiful arrangements for gorgeous spaces. We were SPEECHLESS when we did our first look with our venue space. It was absolutely perfect and brought my husband and I to tears when it was revealed to us. I would 1,000,000/10 reccomend Debbie and her services to anyone for their wedding day as she takes so much care to provide breathtaking arrangements that add so much love to a wedding day. Thank you Debbie for creating the most spectacular florals on our special day. We love you!
I was honored to work with Debbie at the Flower Mercantile for our wedding day and let me tell you, she is nothing short of amazing! When I first met with her she took the time to get to know me and know the vision of what I wanted my wedding to be. She listens to you and designs pieces that make you feel like YOU! It was why I chose her because the other florist made it seem I was just another number instead of a person. Debbie made me feel seen and understood. I truly loved working with her and how easy she was to adjust as needed! Also Debbie I’m sorry for making the longest head table garland 😅 I would recommend The Flower Mercantile to anyone getting married! They were INCREDIBLE!
Using The Flower Mercantile for our wedding was a wonderful experience! Debbie was amazing to work with and used her creativity to bring my vision to life. She and her team exceeded my expectations creating the floral arch of my dreams, as well as beautiful centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres. I can't say enough good things about her company and would highly recommend using them for all your floral needs!
I loved working with The Flower Mercantile to design a flower plan that matched the overall style of our wedding.
I had a wonderful experience working with this vendor! The flower mercantile made sure my wedding bouquet was just what I wanted by viewing my inspo pics and having detailed phone conversations. Everything arrived prompt and made my wedding day feel stress free! Also, provided the best price for everything which was a bonus.
Debbie did an amazing job helping me find just what I wanted. She went above and beyond to make our wedding beautiful and is willing to think outside the box with you. Absolutely loved doing business with her!
Debbie was so wonderful to work with! She was accessible and responsive from my initial inquiry through to the wedding. She was really helpful in the planning stages and worked with me to help me figure out exactly what I was looking for and what fit best with the vibe of our wedding, and then catered the style of our flowers to the inspiration I had given her. The day of, she and her team showed up on time and executed everything perfectly and efficiently—the venue staff even commented that they had never seen a reception set up come together so quickly. Our flowers were beautiful and exactly what we wanted. We can’t recommend Debbie and the Flower Mercantile highly enough!
It was such a pleasure to work with Debbie! I had my vision that was very specific and Debbie asked the right questions to capture my vision, and boy did she NAIL it! I was obsessed with my flowers. She also took a last minute request a few weeks before the wedding and she did amazing with that too on such short notice! Not only is her attention to detail unmatched, but she is also extremely kind. If I have any flower needs, Debbie would be my top choice
Everything was beautifully put together and were such a joy to work with. They made it so simple for me and I didn't have to worry at all about those details on or near my big day :)
Debbie was so great! She makes beautiful flower pieces and was very receptive to my vision. My wedding wouldn't have been the same with out her beautiful flowers. Well worth every penny. She was great with working with my budget and making substitutions so I could achieve my dream without costing my entire budget.
They helped us at the height of Covid and made things so much less stressful! Great to work with and did a BEAUTIFUL job. Dependable, on time, quick communication. Definitely would recommend!
The Flower Mercantile was excellent to work with! Debbie and her team made our wedding day a breeze. It was so nice to not have to think about the flowers. I initially considered doing them myself and am SO glad I chose The Flower Mercantile. It took so much stress off of me AND they were beautiful beyond what I could have imagined. They were also much cheaper than many other local flower shops. They were always quick to reply to my messages and were always so understanding of my questions. I have given Debbie’s number to many of my friends who are also using her for their wedding. If you live in the Toledo area, don’t waste your time looking elsewhere for your wedding flowers, just use The Flower Mercantile.
Very personal service and attention to detail. My wedding was out of town, so I was nervous about hiring unknown vendors. The Flower Mercantile was honest, on time and made a beautiful bouquet for my special day.
I used this company when it was fairly new, and I was absolutely blown away by everything. My flower expert, Debbie, was very patient with me as I do not know a thing about flowers. She asked me lots of questions about what I wanted the feel of the atmosphere to be like and sent me many suggestions. She was absolutely amazing.
The Flower Mercantile did an amazing job bringing our floral vision to life for our wedding! Every member of the team is so friendly and will go above and beyond to make sure every detail is in place.
There are so many positive things I can say about Debbie, and the Flower Mercantile team, it’s so hard to pick a few! First and foremost, The Flower Mercantile made my wedding day a dream. During the planning process, Debbie was quick to reply, listened intently to my ideas, and created a plan that I felt was made specifically for me and my husband. I know she did everything she could to create my dream flower arrangements, while staying within my budget. I recommend The Flower Mercantile to anyone, as Debbie and her team are professional, kind, and greatly talented at what they do!
I could not have asked for a better flower vendor for our wedding. I had a very specific vision for the colors in my bouquet and when it arrived day of, it was absolutely stunning! The Flower Mercantile was so easy to work with and professional. I would highly, highly, highly recommend this company to use for your wedding or any flower arrangement needs. Fantastic!
I could not believe how beautiful my flowers were on our wedding day! By far my favorite part of the decorations. Incredible florist and I would recommend her to anyone.
Debbie is way beyond amazing. To have a dream wedding, flowers is necessary and play an important role. The biggest challenge is picking wedding style you want, and how to fit within your budget. Debbie helped us going through this process, I first gave her few photos to show my "dream" style, and she adjusted my need to seasonal flowers and possible options. I almost passed out while I saw my bouquet on wedding day cause it was toooo amazing. For anyone who need florist and live in Toledo, I will 100% recommend Debbie as your florist, you won't regret! (BTW, before I met Debbie, I've talked with few florists apparently Debbie is the best fit)
Everything was absolutely perfect! We had so many compliments on the arrangements and candle lighting! Definitely recommend!!
Debbie truly blew us away with her skill and artistry. She took our vision and made it better than we could have imagined! She is also so wonderful to work with. We highly recommend hiring the Flower Mercantile!
Debbie took our vision and made it a reality. She was very communicative and worked very well with our coordinator. The greens and flowers were exactly as she described. She even worked with us on some allergies we had to Eucalyptus. I can't thank Debbie and her company enough for making our wedding day one to remember.
I planned my wedding in 6 weeks which means I was really stressed with finding something I love so fast. I met with Debbie just once! I showed her some pinterest pictures that I liked and that same day she sent me her ideas and they were perfect!! When I saw them the day of the wedding I was truly in love. I can't stop looking and the pictures.
I 100% recommend her services she can make you day magical and it was so easy to work with her.
Debbie was wonderful to work with and my flowers turned out BEAUTIFUL! Would definitely use them again!
Debbie is THE BEST. From the very beginning, she was so helpful, kind, and flexible, and she helped us figure out how to make our vision come to life after just seeing a few inspiration photos. She truly understood what we were looking for and all the pieces she put together for our wedding were BEAUTIFUL -we got so many compliments. We had a smaller budget and thought we would not be able to afford all of the floral pieces we wanted to have, but Debbie figured out how to make it work within our budget and we were truly blown away by what she was able to put together. Communication was also great. We cannot recommend the Flower Mercantile enough!
Debbie was amazing throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding! I was struggling to put my vision into words, and she worked hard making multiple prototypes for me to look at, and even changing our game plan less than two weeks out. My flowers turned out better than I ever expected and working with her was a dream!
Debbie from The Flower Mercantile is so wonderful to work with!! Her customer service is truly amazing and she is there to answer any questions you may have. Her attention to detail is truly what helps make your floral vision come to life! All of my floral pieces for my wedding day were absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much Debbie & team for your amazing customer service and for helping make my wedding day look extra beautiful!!
Debbie was amazing to work with!! I came in to our first meeting not really knowing how all my ideas would come together and she really helped make that happen. Always quick responses to any questions I had and always stayed in touch about wedding day and when things needed to be dropped off. Her and her team set up and tore down at the ceremony and reception and took so much stress off my family by doing that. I would 100% recommend Debbie to anyone looking for a florist!!
Debbie was more than willing to accommodate our smaller order size, including free delivery. She was attentive to our allergy needs with the hydration systems/ wrapping. She even provided extra boutonnieres in the event of wilting due to my personal flower selection and the unexpected heat of the day. The wedding party flowers were gorgeous, my flowers arrived wilted due to the heat but Debbie reimbursed us the cost of my bouquet without us even asking and the flowers did still look good in the photos and we even got many compliments and inquires as to who our florist was. She further went above and beyond by hand-making a cute ornament for us. I would 100% recommend her and the wilting of my flowers was in no way her fault, but a combination of unexpected weather and my need for the stems to be entirely wrapped and thus made hydration more difficult on a hot day.
Working with Debbie was nothing short of amazing! She was kind, personable, understanding and so helpful when helping create our vision. From adapting to my ever changing mind to creating such a beautiful masterpiece, we couldn't be happier with how our wedding day flowers turned out!
Debbie was very helpful and involved when planning our flowers for our wedding. She really listen to what we wanted and created a 'picture board' document for us with flowers that she would suggest using based on our vision. She checked in with us about a month prior to re-confirm all the details. The final product turned out amazing. My bouquet was exactly what I wanted and the other bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages were perfect as well. I could not say better things about our experience with Debbie!
The Flower Mercantile went above and beyond for my wedding. I can't recommend them enough! My bouquet lasted more than a week after my wedding, which was a happy bonus :)
Debbie is so extremely talented at what she does. Everything she creates is stunning. I gave her a few pictures of what I was looking for, but ultimately I wanted her to have creative freedom and she knocked it out of the park! Even with our strict budget, she made our arrangements look like masterpieces that we were able to enjoy even days after our wedding.
Hire this lovely woman! I had an emergency right before my wedding date and suddenly needed a new florist last minute and she willingly stepped in and saved the day! She took my description words and inspiration photos and turned them into exactly what I had dreamed of and even went out of her way to include my favorite flowers. They were absolutely gorgeous and she was so sweet! You will not be disappointed if you have her do your flowers!
Debbie did a wonderful job! I am not a flower person by any means and she was able to take my little vision and make it come to life.

Debbie was amazing to work with. She definitely grasped my vision and brought it to life for our wedding. Reasonable pricing and gorgeous florals! Loved working with her.

Thank you Aly. You were a joy to work with.
Debbie did such a great job with our wedding and was so flexible and helpful during the Covid lockdowns. Debbie is out of Toledo, OH and drove 2.5 hours to bring us our wedding flowers and each of the flowers looks so marvelous! I can't recommend The Flower Mercantile enough!!
Deb is very responsive, flexible, respectful, and creative. Her creations for my wedding were absolutely beautiful. My big wedding was postponed due to COVID and she was able to help me with a smaller wedding with only a 2 weeks notice. She was able to take my ideas and make it even better than I could have ever imagined and she is very respectful of budgets. I recommend her work every chance I get.
We just got married in July 2020 and Debbie provided us with such a great experience. She truly prioritizes you as a customer and will work with your budget!! Flowers were so much less stressful because of Debbie, it was truly such an ease. And we got SO many compliments the day of the wedding! If you are looking to support and up and coming small business with excellent customer service, look no further 🙂

I can't get over how breathtaking your photos are. I am constantly showing couples your images who are looking for white flowers.
The Flower Mercantile was amazing to work with! I didn't have much direction or vision for my flowers but as we talked Debbie helped me realized what I really wanted for my wedding. I felt very confident in her ability to create something unique and special. I didn't have to worry about anything.

Fall color pallets can look do different depending on what tone of colors the couple likes. It was so fun to pull together all the textures and tone to create your bouquets. We didn't do any other wedding this season that hit those rich fall ...
tones and yours turned out perfect. I am glad we could wow you.
The Flower Mercantile was a delight to work with. Debbie helped me create and implement to most beautiful floral vision for my big day. She was always concerned about how I was doing as a bride-to-be, rather than only worrying about the flowers. She was incredibly flexible as my plans had to change last minute due to Covid. a the florals for my wedding were all that I dreamed of and more and it is my hope that I can work with The Flower Mercantile again in the future!

Working with Debbie was a joy! She was thoughtful, creative, and professional throughout the entire process. During our meetings, Debbie asked specific questions and quickly caught hold of my vision. She was detailed and payed attention to the shape, color tones, specific flowers, and styles I liked.
Debbie was easy to communicate with, and always responded in a timely manner. She has been highly trained and demonstrated a vast knowledge of a variety of different flowers. She was flexible when COVID-19 required last minute wedding adjustments. Debbie was willing to work within our budget and provide quality flowers for an affordable price.
