Flowers are one of the more nerve racking parts of a wedding. You have to trust your florist, because you won't know what your flowers will look like until they show up on your wedding day, and that could easily derail your vision. I didn't know anything about flowers, and felt like I could easily spend way too much money because I simply don't know the business. Barb was the best possible person for the job. She was honest and passionate about her work. She explained everything in a kind way, without ever seeming condescending or like she was trying to "upsell" me. She talked to me for an hour so she could get the best idea of what I wanted. We shared photos and discussed other work she had done for reference. She explained all my options and was very communicative when she wasn't able to get the exact flowers we discussed. On the day, she was 100% on time, professional, and gave me some great tips on preserving our flowers. I can't recommend her enough. Don't look anywhere else if you're getting married and want a stress-free experience with gorgeous flowers. All of my friends getting married this year have asked me who did mine and I'm happy to tell them. Barb is your woman.

Made my vision come to life
Barb was wonderful from the very beginning. She took the colours and style i requested and brought everything to life. We couldnt have been more thrilled with our flowers and got so many compliments on the arrangements. We went a bit unconventual and it turned out perfect! Thank you Barb so much, it was such a joy to have you do our florals.

Tamara, it was also such a joy for me to do your florals! Unconventional can actually be like a 'breath of fresh air' for the designer to create arrangements that are unique to a couple's taste & vision. Your selections certainly did that.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Blooms & Beyond through your kind words. I sincerely appreciated the opportunity to be a part of your magical day. And I wish you and your sweetheart more happiness than your hearts can hold as husband & wife!

Dear Sandra
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this kind review which has inspired me. It was my delightful pleasure to create your warm, vibrant bouquet & matching boutonniere for your groom. It was actually a treat to send them off to you on my birthday. I just wish I could have presented them to you in person that day. However, I'm grateful that I was able to capture your floral vision to help make your day special! Congratulations on tying the knot with your sweetheart, & the best of wishes to you both as you embark on the adventure of wedded bliss!

Amazing experience!
Barb was very professional, informative and kind I instantly felt comfortable and confident in her hands. She made sure she had my vision and budget as her top priority. I was so excited for the vision she helped me create for the floral arrangements for my wedding, I couldn't wait to see them! The bouquets and boutonnieres blew me away she did an incredible job. I highly recommend Barb to any future bride

Barb does beautiful work!
I first met Barb at her house to go over everything i wanted in more details, she had everything i needed to see at her house, she gave me ideas and recommendations. I had so mush trust in her with my flowers, i didn't get to see them till i showed up to the venue with just enough time to get out of the car and walk down the isle. I'm in love with them and i cant stop looking at them. perfect amount of colour for my pictures!
Thanks Barb!

Kassandra, how kind of you to take the time to write this review & share some of your beautiful memories. I'm so glad that you entrusted your pretty flowers to my creativity, and it was my pleasure to help you achieve your vision. My one regret is that I was not able to give you your bouquet myself on wedding day. But you all looked fabulous!
Congratulations on tying the knot, & best wishes to you and your adorable family for a wonderful future!
