the flowerman is great! I’ve done the DIY as a bridesmaid and now DIY as the bride and both times were awesome. It was super busy in there so there was a lot of time we just were standing there waiting on the next directions though. So we were there the entire 4 hours and they only had 2 instructors for the entire room so they have to go back and forth… they were so busy lol! But the flowers turned out gorgeous and we got so many compliments on them!

d she did a fantastic job. They were gorgeous, the bouquets lasted the whole day with no problem, and they were full-looking without being too heavy. We had a great experience with them and 10/10 recommend going with them! I also appreciate that during the planning meetings, they had tons of great recommendations for what flowers to pick that are best for the season, complement each other, and bloom in the colors that I was looking for!

Pamela B

The Flowerman was amazing to work with. They helped me achieve the perfect flower bouquet and table decorations. I loved the DIY process!

what flowers to select that would both make our vision a reality and also stay within our budget! We chose the DIY option for all elements apart from the bridal bouquet and it was amazing to see the finished bridal bouquet as it looked exactly like the pintrest inspo pic! Because we had a gap wedding with ceremony and reception held at different venues we did self-pick up and delivery and both processes went smoothly. Could not have had a better experience. Highly recommend!

erfect design and offered insight into what might look best with our ideas. We had no idea what we might want, and she was able to help us narrow down ideas given what was available and affordable/in line with our budget. We chose to do some of the pieces ourselves through the DIY option and have some of the pieces designed for us. We came the day before the wedding and had a coach walk us through the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. It was so much fun! I would highly recommend doing the DIY option. Our centerpieces and mantle piece were made for us, and Puma created absolutely stunning pieces. The Flowerman delivered the pieces for us that day-truly an enjoyable and very stress-free experience. We highly recommend choosing The Flowerman for your event!

I had such an incredible experience with The Flowerman. Emma Hager was the first person I interacted with from this team, and she helped me create the vision of my dreams after an ...

initial consultation over zoom. Throughout the months following our consultation, as other elements in my planning materialized, she gave such thoughtful substitutions when requested over email. Then, on the Thursday before the wedding, I went to the DIY session along with 5 friends/family members, and Jordan Hiers led our bouquet-making class. She gave us such clear and detailed instructions on how to make our bouquets. Everyone involved said how amazing and fun that experience was together, and it only makes it better when you see the fruit of your own labor at your own wedding. The delivery and setup staff for the arch knocked it out of the park: they created a stunning floral arch piece! I could not be more grateful to have chosen the Flowerman for my wedding.

of flowers to do. On the day before my wedding, our stylist was wonderfully helpful, but also let us do exactly what we wanted and the bouquets and pedestal pieces turned out absolutely beautifully. 10/10 would do it again or use them for any large event I’m planning on the future. They are the best!

Carter B

About two weeks before my wedding, I committed to making my own bridal bouquet. After a google search, I came across the Flowerman, a local flower shop that offered a walk-in coo...

ler with a plethora of options. I walked in and was informed that I needed to make an appointment and was encouraged to choose a date closest to their shipment receiving day. The staff member was so sweet and gave me a ton of advice to help me prepare for the appointment the following week. At the appointment, I was provided a bucket to store the flowers and even pine cones to supplement my winter bouquet. They also had options to hire a designer to walk in the cooler with you to make your most beautiful bouquet. Due to constraints in my budget, I opted to completely DIY. The flowers were affordable and fit my needs and my fiance (now husband) was able to pick up my flowers the day before the wedding without me being there (which I so deeply appreciated). Ultimately, I would recommend The Flowerman for other DIY brides seeking to make their own bouquet or even if you seek professional construction of your bouquet or other florals

From the very beginning flower man was very easy to work with. We asked multiple questions throughout the process before our wedding and every time we got an email response and eve...

ry question was promptly answered. We did the DIY option where we made the flowers before the wedding day and our lady who helped us was absolutely excellent. There were a lot of people that were doing the DIY the same day so we could’ve used an additional helper but overall very happy with the experience!

Kat M

The flowers were beautiful and they work with our design and theme but also our budget. I wanted a cascading rose bouquet and it was just perfect!!

g for! The DIY day was so much fun!!! I loved how all of my flowers turned out and it exceeded my expectations! I am not a big fan of traditional bouquets and I felt that the team listened to my preferences and made sure they turned out how I envisioned! The team member who led our DIY appointment was incredibly kind, talented, and efficient! She was lovely to work with and handled everything very professionally.

Sierra B

We had the BEST experience with The Flowerman! The day before my wedding, my mom, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, sister, and maid of honor all went together to build my bridesmaids’...

bouquets and boutonnieres. It ended up being the sweetest bonding moment right before the big day. The staff was incredibly kind, patient, and so helpful throughout the entire process. They made sure we felt confident and supported while putting everything together, and they created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. We loved being able to sip mimosas, laugh together, and work hard on something so special. I had the florists build my bouquet, and it was ready the day I arrived, so I got to take a sneak peek! It was more beautiful than I could've ever imagined. One thing that truly impressed me was their commitment to not wasting any flowers. They used the leftover florals to make boutonnieres for our dads and corsages for our mom, which was such an intentional and thoughtful touch. I also left with a beautiful handful of extra flowers that we used for flat lays, my cake, and little décor accents around the venue. I can’t recommend The Flowerman enough. It was meaningful, memorable, and added such a personal touch to our wedding flowers. We’re so grateful!

ers have always been one of my favorite things, so going into wedding planning, I knew they would be one of the most exciting and important parts of the process. The thing that stands out the most about The Flowerman is the ability to decide on every aspect of your florals, and to get to build them with your own hands! The DIY party to build our florals was one of the things I was looking forward to the most throughout the entire planning process. It was SO much fun to bring my family and friends and build my bouquet with the flowers of my dreams! Also, the ability to build some items at the location in Dayton and bring other materials home to DIY our own pieces was so nice to keep our vision in budget. I worked with Kristi at The Flowerman to plan our florals, and I can't say enough about her professionalism, patience, and care throughout the process. She was extremely helpful when picking the florals, honing the design, and working with changes as we got closer to the wedding day. In the end, everything was absolutely perfect, and I felt like we were in the best hands. I would recommend The Flowerman to any bride! I wish I lived closer so I could stop in and visit their flower cooler more often! Their quality, variety, and overall experience is truly unmatched.

ding, including the ceremony, for a great deal! As a note... add the inspiration pictures to the quote! She was able to pull the exact flowers from the images. And if they were really expensive, she pulled the cheaper option that still gave me the look I was dreaming of. You also may want to come in with some knowledge of flower names... I had no idea. Lol. It was okay, though! We just had to do a lot of google image searches. Overall, the entire experience was amazing. I highly recommend!

ade us feel confident and aware of our choices. We chose a hybrid package- my bridal bouquet was made by a designer (it was LOVELY) and then we did the DIY for everything else. We had a last minute change (1 less corsage + 3 additional boutonnières) and because we had the flowers needed, we were able to flex to make it all work. The DIY session was fun and approachable. They let us take the extras home to set up on site. Great experience all around!

mazing way to decompress and have some fun with friends and family the day before the wedding. Lori was so fun to work with and brought my vision to life. From our first consultation, the folks at Flowerman truly cared about making sure that Andrew and I had a beautiful fall wedding with flowers that complimented our vision including matching florals to dress swatches and helping me pick out the style of bouquet I would like best. With last minute changes to the florals we needed, they were able to make the flowers we ordered work to allow for an extra memorial boutonnière. Additionally, getting to take our extra florals with us was awesome. Thank you again!

the process. Kristi was so easy to work with and helped bring my vision to life and stay within our set budget which was quite impressive. Drafting the final proposal for the amount of flowers and arrangements seemed stressful at the start of planning but Kristi knew just what she was doing to walk me step by step through details taking all the stress out of the florals. The DIY session was also a lot of fun and a great experience thanks to all the helpers at The Flowerman. We are so happy we chose to work with The Flowerman and would highly recommend them to all future brides.

e initial consult was so helpful and everything came together exactly as l had hoped. The DIY construction party l was nervous for (bc l’m the least creative/artsy person) but the group leader was so so helpful and patient and the whole experience was such a beautiful bonding time for the women in my family (even my 90 year old grandma could do it and had the best time!). Effective and timely communication was always 10/10 which was so important to me throughout the planning process. Cannot recommend and express my thanks enough to this small, local business!!

Come the wedding day, if you order delivery, they take special care and get everything there safely and even call to let you know it made it there safely! My flowers were so beautiful and perfect! You wont go wrong with booking them for your wedding!
