VOWS Wedding and Floral Design Studio​​

nce working closely with her for weddings. From start to finish, Mary was every couple's dream to work with. She was patient, informative, and fully transparent through all communication. My first communication was through the Vows website seeking more information about flowers for our wedding on April 22nd 2022 in Falmouth, MA. I received a timely congratulations email message with date and time options for a consultation at the shop. My mom, sister, and I met with Mary at her shop in October 2021 and were blown away by her attention to detail, knowledge, and calm demeanor. We went through every detail at length and were at the shop for an extensive period of time talking through ideas, what we liked and didn’t like from past weddings, my color scheme, and shared pictures of the dresses and tuxedos. I valued and appreciated her professional opinion about what was needed based on her past experience and expertise at my specific venue. My mom, sister, and I left the shop extremely impressed, excited, and comfortable knowing Mary was the person who would deliver beautiful flowers and be a joy to work with. Even without seeing the quote/proposal, I knew she would work with us until we were happy and comfortable with the final quote and plan. The proposal that was emailed to me after our meeting was extremely detailed. The proposal provided prices (low to high) so I could review it and make adjustments or additions as needed based on our budget. Mary and I communicated frequently before signing the contract so everything was accurate. Mary answered every question and always made me feel heard. The day of the wedding, Mary delivered the flowers to the location where the groom and groomsmen were getting ready and took the time to pin the boutonnieres on all the guy’s jackets ensuring they would look perfect in all photos. Mary then came to the location I was getting ready with the bridesmaids so we would have our flowers for the getting ready pictures. My one-year old nephew was the ring bearer, and Mary went out of her way to wait for him to wake up from his nap and be dressed and ready in order to secure his boutonniere perfectly as well. My bouquet was breathtaking. I envisioned a cascading arrangement with all white roses and ivory trailing and she not only delivered my vision but blew me away with her creation. Exactly what I described for my bridesmaids/attendants is what I got - slightly loose, full, hand tied bouquet with off white hydrangeas, off white roses, champagne roses, blush pink rice flower, with a touch of greenery to compliment their gold sequin gowns. I could honestly go on and on about the flowers and my overall positive experience in every aspect of the process of working with her. Mary exceeded all of my expectations. I am so grateful that I was encouraged to reach out to her and that she was available for my wedding date. Her passion and ability to deliver my vision is what everyone deserves on their wedding day.

hydrangeas are just summer flowers, right? Well, Vows know what to do about blue flowers in October, thank goodness! They also decorated the church, reception venue, and around our wedding cake. The white roses in my bridal bouquet are going to be used in rosaries my hubby and I will use till our dying day (and then they will go with us in our caskets)! So thank you, Mary and Sue, for making our big day so beautiful!

ducating us on places to save, repurpose, and splurge so that the most focal locations were covered and we weren't wasting money on unnecessary arrangements! Our bridal party had many colors and they were able to really understand the color scheme we were going for and produce just what we wanted. Everything they created was just beautiful and it was a pleasure planning with them before the wedding and having their help and expertise the day of the wedding!
