Blooming Iris Designs 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Philadelphia, PA

    My name is Maggie and Blooming Iris Designs was inspired by my daughter. After 7 years as a wedding coordinator and being laid off due to covid, I wanted to find another way back into "wedding world." I stumbled upon a Floral Design Certification Program and decided to enroll. I then started my small business, out of my garage.

    Blooming Iris Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding flowers. From the start, their communication was open, constant, easy, and reliable - making the process of selecting and finalizing our florals a breeze. The end result was truly spectacular, with high-quality, beautiful arrangements that perfectly complemented our color scheme. In fact, I didn't even have a specific preference on the type of florals to use, and they exceeded my expectations by creating something even better than I could have imagined. Blooming Iris Designs played a key role in making our special day look and feel so beautiful. I highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

    • Starts at $3,000

    My whole life I have been inspired by all things beautiful and creative from the smallest wild flower, to incredible works of art. I try to embrace all beauty around me, into the work I do. I always knew an office job would not work well for my creative soul… this led me down many paths from carpentry, merchandising, interior design amongst many other pursuits… but the moment I made my first bouquet, I finally knew flowers were my ultimate passion. From that time on, I have never looked back into the rearview mirror, once I committed to becoming the best designer that I can be.

      • Serves Philadelphia, PA

      Proud Cat & Dog Mom // Your New Wedding Vendor BFF It’s never been just about pretty flowers to me. I started out in social work because I wanted to serve and connect with others. I first entered the floral design world as an intern in 2016 and noticed a lack of originality in designs and a need for more connection between the florist and the couple. When I started WFD in 2019, I decided to prioritize both artistic designs and building long-term relationships with each couple. Planning my own wedding in 2021 gave me an even deeper appreciation for the importance of receiving creative expertise and genuine support from wedding vendors.

      Awarded Best of Zola
      I was so overwhelmed when I first started looking for florists for our wedding. There are so many options, and I didn’t even know where to start until I found Poppy. They break down the process and steps, making it super easy, almost to the point that it doesn’t feel real. To start, you meet with a floral consultant where you talk through your wedding details, the vibe you’re going for, the general needs, etc. Then they walk you through a list of various wedding floral options: bouquets, table arrangements, signage florals, ceremony florals, etc., and you start to narrow down what you want. In each section, they have a grouping of photos, and you can either select something from that or ask for more options. You can also tweak what they have shown (I picked florals that had eucalyptus in them and requested everything be switched to ruscus). After that, you have a while to go back in and adjust until a deadline, but they accommodated some last-minute adds I had as well. Our consultant was Sophia, and she was super responsive and wonderful to work with. Closer to the wedding, you get assigned a local florist who does the actual designing/styling and installing, and we were lucky enough to get Ron, who matched our inspo images EXACTLY. Everything was so beautiful, and I was so in love with my bouquet. He was also incredibly nice and set everything up so quickly. If you’re looking for something to make the whole floral selection easy, simple, and beautiful (also super transparent with costs), definitely go with Poppy!!
