Glitzed Events was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding florals. Nicole and her team were incredibly responsive, creative, and attentive to every detail throughout the planning process. I had a very specific vision for a gothic Victorian theme with black and white florals, and Nicole brought that vision to life perfectly. She worked closely with me to explore different options and make changes as needed. The morning of the wedding, I asked for a last-minute change to my bouquet and Nicole was so quick and responsive to make the adjustment. The final florals were truly stunning - it was like stepping into a dream. I cannot recommend Glitzed Events highly enough for the exceptional quality of work they provided. They played a huge role in making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Ive known Lisa and the team at Central Florist since I was little, so choosing them was a no brainer, as they have always DELIVERED on every order we've made. However, I can not say enough amazing things about the flowers Lisa created for my wedding. From the table runners, to our arch, the flowers for our groomsmen, bridesmaids, parents, and myself.....I was blown away. My bouquet was absolutely perfect and had all of the touches I had asked for and more. I couldn't recommend Central Florist enough, not only for the quality of the work but for the quality of the owner and employees. They truly made my bridal dreams come true!

I was very pleased with my experience with Something Borrowed Blooms! The flowers were quality silk, unlike typical fake flowers these felt and even smelled like flowers!! I enjoyed not having to waste flowers the day after our wedding, I could send them back in for the next bride! If I had not gone with something borrowed we likely would have make our own flower arrangements. I was nervous about not knowing how those would look until the day of. I loved knowing EXACTLY what my flowers would look like on my wedding day. They were gorgeous! The customer service was never lacking! My shipment was delayed by a day but the team was quick to respond to my nerves insuring me they would over night a replacement box if needed. We highly recommend!

Isabel truly exceeded expectations. I knew next to nothing about flowers going into this experience. When Isabel presented the initial inspiration design board for the wedding, I made a couple of comments of things I liked and did not like. Isabel took all that feedback, and some inspiration photos I emailed her, and truly made the most beautiful wedding flowers in the world! She was also very fun, professional, and low stress, which enabled me to feel comfortable providing the initial comments and getting the flowers of my dreams for the actual wedding day. Isabel also added fun fruit and candles to the the table, creating an experience my guests are still discussing to this day.

The flowers (on our order) came in large boxes, but they were not labeled, so it took a minute to get the flowers both identified and properly set up. To be fair we were warned about the process, but not about the length of time due to our inexperience. As a note, it took my fiancé 5 hours to process the flowers when first receiving them. I also did not have any updates from them from the time I ordered till they were being shipped. They were beyond more affordable compared to other florists, and the flowers arrived alive and in good spirits. We were able to keep the flowers alive for over four days!! Many of the flowers that we chose did not have specific instructions, so we had to follow the general reference for the flowers and hope for the best. Additionally, some of the flowers that we wanted were not in stock, and they were replaced for us with substitutes but were not notified until we had all of the flowers already delivered to us. Also, as a note, bloom culture uses third party sellers for their flowers, so the quality may vary depending on location. Our flowers were in good condition, and the company we had clearly took good care of the flowers prior to delivering them to us. Would we do it again? Probably not, but it made for good laughs and bonding time and we have stories to tell from it!
