Blooms Mountain Floral

I would love to give a rave review for Nancy McKee and Blooms Flowers, but that would be inauthentic. I hired Blooms to do the flowers for my wedding after seeing her work at a tasting with Jubilations Catering. On the phone when we discussed the overall feel and vision of the wedding Nancy was wonderful. She was creative and really able to translate my ideas into what I anticipated as being beautiful flowers. She indicated that she would send a detailed invoice in the mail to me as she was moving to a new studio location (would later find out this was her house) and did not have internet or fax access. After 3 weeks I still had not received the invoice and had requested it 2 more times. Each time, Nancy seemed short with my request and it wasn’t until I pointed out that she’d had no problem accepting my credit card information for my deposit on day one did she finally send an invoice. When I received the invoice not only was the date of the even incorrect, there were little to no details included and her numbers were incorrect for the centerpieces and the corsages.
As the even approached neither myself nor my wedding planner was able to easily make contact with Nancy. She finally called me back to tell me where my planner could pick up the flowers as I did not want to risk her tardiness (as indicated by other reviews).
On a positive note, the flowers were very beautiful. However, they were not what we had discussed. They were generally what we talked about, but not exactly. For example, the flowers for our alter were to be pots of lavender with stakes of sunflowers inserted. What she delivered was a pot with separate pots of purple sage and viking mums inserted into the pot, not even planted. While lavender and purple sage appear similar, they are not the same and we did not want small viking mums, rather sunflowers.
Overall, the flowers were beautiful and only I knew that they were not what were originally discussed. It did not impact the wedding negatively at all.
I would recommend using Blooms only if you are ok trusting the unknown and accepting what you get along with a sour attitude. She was relatively well priced and stayed within the budget I requested.
I hope this is helpful to both Nancy at Blooms and those looking for flowers. Often it’s not what you say, but how you say it… she should think about that as her overall demeanor is not approachable or celebratory (as one might think working in the floral business largely with weddings).

As an event planner in Estes Park, I have worked with tons of florists. Nancy at Blooms is amazing! If you are looking for someone with an eye for detail, who is über creative and can deliver top floral designs on a budget… don’t look any farther.
Nancy is professional and brings her «A game» to every event…
I would highly recommend her.

I could not bring myself to leave Blooms a good review. We hired them to do the flowers for our wedding. On one good note, the flowers turned out great and she was on time. But that’s all that’s good. We met with the lady a couple times and both times, she was not friendly at all. Always seemed to be in a bad mood. I was surprised she got the flowers right because she didn’t seem to really listen. When it came to paying her, she kept changing due dates. Not long before the wedding, she said final payment wasn’t due until after. Then she said later that she wanted the money before. Then at the wedding, she was again very unfriendly. She was rude to everybody and still acted like she was in a bad mood. So, I would not recommend Blooms. We would have gone elsewhere after the first meeting but unfortunately she was the only one available for our wedding day since it was on a holiday weekend. Her attitude and demeanor were not worth the good outcome of the flowers.

I have very mixed feelings about Blooms… this is a review for those in search of a florist in Estes for wedding flowers. I only shopped with them for our boutonnieres and bouquets, and flowers for my hair, and shopped for décor flowers from Safeway (which worked out wonderfully).
Granted, the business switched hands right after we signed a contract with the former business, so perhaps they’re still getting their act together.
Cons:
–Their follow-​up is NOT good. I received short or no replies from my e-​mails (the owner said to call, repeatedly, and would not answer any questions through e-​mail), and after speaking with one of the associates and e-​mailing Stephanie/​Nancy (owner), I received no response. They said they would call after Memorial Day so I could place my wedding floral order, but I received no call. So I had to call them two weeks before my wedding, and what we had discussed previously had not been recorded.
–They must be short-​staffed, because sometimes they are not at the shop during regular business hours.
–Their floral delivery on my wedding day was late, therefore slightly pushing back the time of my wedding photos.
–Nancy, the owner, may need to work a bit on her customer service skills. I’m sure she’s a lovely woman, but I didn’t get 100% nice vibes from her, either. i.e. I mentioned that I had to double-​check with the groom on the boutonnieres, and she completely hesitated; I could tell she was not happy.
Pros:
–Stephanie is very kind and helpful. Professional on the phone, as well.
–The flowers they delivered ended up being gorgeous.
–The shop is very cute and inviting. Their overall message/​philosophy is very appealing.
Overall, I’m not sure if I would recommend Blooms (though, I did tip Nancy, since the flowers did turn out wonderfully). Perhaps they need a year or two to get everything together, but they primarily need to concentrate on their business skills — customer service and follow-​up. I found myself wondering if they were dependable, and when you’re dealing with a wedding, that’s not the best way to feel.
If anybody has any questions regarding my experience with Blooms, feel free to message me. I’m an open book!
