Tropic all Blooms n' More

ements look really gorgeous and harmonious. I recommend Althea as your wedding florist! Eve 💕

hey were very professional, kind, and so willing to work with my budget. Tropic Blooms n' More is incredible!!

conscious -- but her creativity is truly unmatched. As a very type A bride (2 of us actually) we had a very distinct vision that Althea completely pulled together. We vetted a TON of florists in FL and althea absolutely blew them out of the water. She's a true New Yorker with her no nonsense way of working which really resonated with us. We would recommend her to everyone we know 100x over. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the florals and the chuppah. Truly a vision. She's the best.

her for our wedding. Thanks Althea! ~ The Robinson’s

rom our initial meeting. She delivered EXACTLY what I wanted. My wedding day was just stunning! People could not stop commenting on how gorgeous my flowers were! When I walked out to get a sneak peek, my jaw just dropped at the beauty she re-created for us. She made my wedding dreams come true – everything looked so picturesque and just breathtaking. I would recommend her a thousand times over and tell all the brides to trust her vision and taste. She knows what she’s doing. It was pure elegance! Thank you Althea so much again for making my hubby and I so happy on our wedding day! Please check her out on Instagram at @allbloomsnmore (the posts on 8/14 and 8/15 are videos of my wedding and it will not disappoint)! Xoxo, Nadine and Nate

away. My guests kept coming up to me saying how beautiful everything was as well. I will forever be looking back at pictures from the most beautiful of days, thanks in part to Althea and her team!

lutely beautiful and perfect everyone's flowers were, the table centerpieces and just about everyone I spoke with at the wedding said they never saw a more beautiful arch. Guests kept coming up to me saying how outstanding the flowers were. I'm sure it was alot of work and stress on Althea but she nailed it. The Seaman/South families appreciate the effort. I know all about what it's like planning a wedding, but take the time, talk with Althea, meet with her, show her what your expectations are and she will do it. She made the day...PERFECT!! Thank you so much.

e-wedding process. I gave her my vision and she went above and beyond my expectations!! Thank you for everything!!

ed. Fast forward to one month before my wedding and I emailed her to check in. I let her know that I was looking forward to going over the final details in 2 weeks. This was her response in an email: “Hi, if you paid your Deposit nothing changes unless you change. We’ve been doing 4-5 weddings weekly been busy but if your booked. All is well will contact 2weeks before to finalize ceremony times”. We did not go over the final details until 8 days before my wedding. She bombarded my mother and me with details of her health issues, the overwhelming jobs she took on, and the lack of money she had to complete these jobs. She made my mom and I feel bad for the spike in costs for florals, she then tried to take out all of the expensive flowers that I had requested in May and based my entire theme on. She made promises of getting substitutions for flowers that were too costly and we came to an agreement. The day before my wedding I asked to meet her in person to see my arrangements to which she said in a text message: “please please just come any time, we have 3 wedding so we are busy”. I arrive at her house and she was not home. Her two assistants did not know who I was and none of my florals were put together. I recognized some of my florals which were still in delivery boxes in an un-air-conditioned part of her home. I was told that they were trying to force open the flowers. There were many withered flowers as well. She ended up calling me to apologize and confidently told me that the withered flowers were not mine and she was busy with a ton of weddings. On the day of the wedding, I was told by family members that she arrived in her personal vehicle with one assistant. Not a large van, or a moving truck, think small compact vehicle. She then had all of the valets from the resort help her set up. We paid her $350 for set up/breakdown for what? I have pictures of her standing around while a valet serviceman is hanging up gazebo flowers. They were hung off-centered and blocked my husband’s head during our ceremony. I never asked for florals in the center of the gazebo nor did I give her pictures with any florals showing such a thing. She also rushed out of the resort and never decorated our cake. The worst part is she added flowers that we never discussed, that were withered, and completely off theme. We paid $3,500 and an additional $250 for an extra table arrangement. We only had 9 tall table arrangements, two bridesmaids’ bouquets, 4 boutonnieres, an entry table arrangement, gazebo décor, and florals for our cake which she was contracted to decorate. I overall will NOT recommend this florist. Her unprofessionalism and lack of follow-through near-ruined my wedding. Please take the time to read the bad reviews, I wish I had.

nique that i have ever seen. On top of the flowers - Althea went above and beyond to stay an extra hour to set up after a rain delay so I could have my outdoor beach wedding and reception. Due to high winds we had to scrap our arch last minute and she was SO CREATIVE to turn the arch into a lovely floral display on the sand around us on the beach. She truly went above and beyond for us to make sure we had a perfect day!

she says I was a $2000 bride, I was not. I paid $3000, before she says another company handled my flowers, that is untrue. Before she says she had 6 weddings that weekend, that’s untrue she had 3. (I have a text to prove that) Nothing I say is made up or exaggerated, it’s 100% the truth. I booked with this lady in July of 2020 for my Nov 2021 wedding. She originally sent me a proposal for $3866.70 and I told her that was too much for our budget & I couldn’t spend more than $2500- asked what we could change to be within budget because I still wanted to use her. Her reply was basically not to worry that she would do the same stuff for $2500 and give me a discount. I thought that was awfully nice & was excited because she really posts beautiful work on socials and had amazing reviews. I immediately paid my deposit & waited for 2 weeks before my wedding to finish final details (per her contract). I did not hear from her so I decided to reach out 2 weeks prior. Her reply was “call me”. I knew something was wrong and she began to tell me how the farms aren’t honoring discounts and asked if I could come up with the $1600 discount she had given me because my wedding was now impossible to do & for some reason she thought I had a bigger budget and that’s why she didn’t inform me of this earlier. She was rude and said she couldn’t believe I don’t understand what inflation & a pandemic is. Also asked if I haven’t noticed prices going up at grocery stores and that she finds this hard to believe. I cried & told her I was already 10k over budget and couldn’t spend anymore money and her answer was “10k over? Where. Not on flowers!” She told me to think about what I could do and once I brought up the contract that was signed she told me “if you’re going to start with that terminology of contracts then I will just have to pay the difference for your flowers.” MIND YOU THIS IS 2 WEEKS BEFORE MY WEDDING! I spoke to my fiancé and due to her attitude we decided we would give her more money because we didn’t wanna end up with crappy ugly flowers. We gave her an extra $500. This brings the total I paid to $3000. My original quote was for 20 center pieces ($75 each) I only ended up getting 16 ($300 less). She quoted me for 10 chair bouquets for the ceremony ($35 each), I did not get those ($350 less). So based on this math alone I gave her an extra $1150 (extra $500 and the product I did not get). The day of my wedding my flowers were clearly dead & looked like they were reused from another event maybe. She also mismatched the vases for the sad center pieces she gave me. My mother of the bride & groom corsages were just left in a bowl of water and they were dead and so ugly. I told them not to wear them because that was beyond embarrassing. My bridesmaids bouquets were a hydrangea with a pink rose stuck in the middle (a literal joke). I even told her we could do a lot of greenery to make it cheaper & that I saw a budget package on her website that was well within my budget and she told me I do not understand weddings… just really rude all around. Now my wedding arch! All dead flowers- or reused flowers. They looked like they were melting off and it was just embarrassing. I can’t believe I paid $3000 for this crap.

first look. Also, the “arch” at the alter was not what was showed when we originally booked. I upgraded my package and spent almost double what I originally planned and was still disappointed. Over $5k for flowers that aren’t even bloomed all the way.

ade everything come together in the most beautiful way possible. I was so in love with every space that she decorated. She took my general thoughts and turned them into a beautiful reality. Thank you to Althea and her amazing team for making our wedding so beautiful and perfect!
