    Emma went above and beyond in every way, and I’m so grateful. The flowers were absolutely stunning and brought everything to life even more beautifully than I could have imagined. I truly appreciate all the care and effort she put into making it perfect.

    Emma and the First Blush team were a dream to work with for our wedding! The floral process felt very overwhelming but Emma made everything so easy from the get-go. She was so knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of our questions. On the wedding day, everything was beautiful and exactly what we hoped for (and more!). Working with a talented and easygoing team took so much stress off our plate. So grateful we found her!

    Emma at First Blush Floral & Planning was an absolute treasure to work with, and we couldn't recommend her more. As a wedding couple who had to pivot unexpectedly from original vendor and venue plans, the minute I got on a call with Emma, I knew she would be perfect in helping our vision come to life. Cool, calm, collected, organized and knowledgeable, she listened to what we wanted and made it come to life. We felt so reassured that we also added Fist Blush's planning services on to our floral package. It was such peace of mind in those final weeks (and the big day) to know she was behind the scenes of it all. Forever grateful! The pouring rain and day-of chaos stood no chance.

    First Blush Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, Emma was prompt, easy to communicate with, and incredibly kind. She listened closely to our vision for vibrant, wildflower-inspired florals for our beach ceremony and reception, and she delivered beautifully. The ceremony arch was stunning, with lush greenery and pops of color that perfectly complemented our setting. We received so many compliments from our guests on the gorgeous, high-quality flowers. Emma and her team's attention to detail and commitment to bringing our dream to life was apparent in every aspect of their work. We are thrilled with how everything turned out and would highly recommend First Blush Weddings to any couple planning their special day.
