Flowers By Color

I hired Mary for my January 2016 wedding. She works out of her home and definitely is reasonably priced. When I first met with Mary, I brought a bunch of pictures of what I was looking for. She did a great job identifying the flowers that I liked and then suggesting alternatives if they were out of season or too expensive. I had Mary put together my bridal bouquet, bouquets for my bridal party and boutonnieres/​wristlets for other members of the family. I also decided to have her do two altar pieces for my church and a eucalyptus leaf runner for the head table at our reception.
Everything turned out so beautifully and looked exactly how I pictured in my mind. Mary also let me know during the planning process that I would be able to borrow different vases/​containers if I wanted. I didn’t end up taking her up on that offer but it is great if you are looking to do a lot of floral centerpieces. She delivered the flowers to our church and where I was getting ready right on time and made sure we had everything we needed. Mary also offered to help me come up with décor ideas throughout the process and she can definitely add a lot of value if you are looking for some creative suggestions. My only compliant was that I updated my contract for the church pieces and they were a little more than I had wanted to spend. However, Mary had already ordered the flowers without me approving that final contract. I probably would have paid for it anyways but it is nice, especially as money starts getting tight at the end, if you have the option to change your mind before finalizing a contract.

Flowers By Color and Mary did a wonderful job in helping to bring my inspiration pictures to life. Every meeting was pleasant and helpful. I had a few minor changes to the centerpieces/​bouquets and Mary was very helpful and accommodating. I was a little nervous since I did not see the work in person before the big day. When the big day finally came, Mary set everything up and found the groomsmen/​bridesmaids to deliver the flowers. Everything went smooth and when I walked into the hall I was blown away by the attention to detail. Thank you Flowers By Color for making my day even more special!

I used Flowers by Color for my wedding last year and Mary was great! I went to her after a colleague recommended her. Out of all the vendors we met she was the most reasonably priced, likely because she works from home and doesn’t have much overhead. I shared some ideas with Mary and she was very accommodating to requests I had. She was able to translate my aesthetic and vision into reality. The floral arrangements were awesome and looked great in photos!

My wedding flowers were amazing! Mary made the entire experience simple and personal. I met with Mary a few months before my wedding and told her everything I wanted. She was open to doing exactly what I had in mind. When the proposal came back, it was slightly out of my price range. Mary promptly sent back a new proposal that didn’t change much, but lowered the price. The flowers were amazing. It was a fall wedding, and I wanted fall colors in the bouquets. They were so vibrant, and they made the pictures look incredible. In addition, all of the flowers and centerpieces were at the church and venue ready to go before we even got there. We were so thrilled to have such efficient service. I highly recommend Flowers by Color to anyone getting married or needing flowers for any event!

I used Mary for our wedding. And I was very impressed with her enthusiasm. She seemed to be full of ideas, and was even able to get me Lilly of The Valley in August-​not easy to do. It was fairly easy to get a hold of her through email. I want to say that I was happy with my bouquet and the maid of honors bouquet. However, for the flower girls I asked to get a headband with real flowers. For $ 40 EACH I got a plastic headband ($ 7 max) with 2 rose buds on it… really!!! Do the math. That should have been half the price at the max… I thought the headband would be filled with flowers. For the reception, I thought the flower bouquets on the tables would be fuller, and more compacted together. Instead, it almost looked like somthing I could have put together. The flowers were all standing out at different levels, and it seemed like half the bouquet went missing somewhere. I don’t know if maybe, I didn’t communicate more of what I wanted (although I did send her a photo), I don’t know if something went horribly wrong that day… because when we spoke she seemed to know exactly what I was looking for. Needless to say, it was a disappointment. If it was a money issue, I wish she would have stated that those bouquets are all she could do for that price, and then I would have made the necessary adjustments. Dissapointing, especially after reading all the great reviews. I really hope it was because something went wrong that day, and if that’s the case I would have been very understanding– but I never heard anything to that regard. Luckily, the flowers aren’t the most important thing at the wedding :)

Mary at Flowers by Color was wonderful to work with. She is very enthusiastic about what she does and she is great at it! She has a lot of great ideas, things you wouldn’t usually think of for weddings and her execution is top notch. She is always very open to questions or ideas and is flexible. She delivers what is promised and from my experience it’s even better than imagined! I will be suggesting her services to anyone who is in the market for a wedding florist!

Mary did another amazing job! I requested for floral centerpieces for my in-law’s 30^th wedding anniversary party. She incorporated yellow roses, which were the flowers used during my in-law’s wedding, and paired them with a mixture of white roses, alstroemeria and spider mums. They were really lovely, and our guests also were happy to take the centerpieces home with them. I was so pleased to work with Mary again!

Mary from Flowers by Color was just amazing to work with. She was recommended to me by a friend who used her services for her wedding. She listened to my ideas and helped me form my vision for the flowers based on photos I showed her. My bouquet had a very vintage-​esque feel to it, which is just what I wanted. The bridesmaids bouquets were great and the moms all loved their corsages on faux-​pearl bracelets. Everything was delivered in it’s own box and kept fresh. The centerpieces were simple yet elegant and I’m so happy with everything. The price was very reasonable and included set-​up and delivery. Mary also incorporated some fabric from my dress into my bouquet wrap, as I made my own dress, and it looked great. I would definitely recommend Flowers by Color to any bride!

Mary was wonderful. People who attended my ceremony couldn’t tell if she my wedding coordinator, friend, family member, or just a vendor. She helped with everything from calming my Dad down to touching up my makeup and helping me out of the limo. Even though I told her the groomsmen would have pocket scarves she brought boutineers for them just in case and guess what I forgot to order pocket scarves. It wasn’t until I was walking down the aisle did I realize that they had beautiful miniature mango calla lillies ont their lapels. My husband told me that before my arrival she was very helpful at the church.
She delivered the bridal party flowers to the hotel in a very timely manner. The only thing I would say is that I expected the flowers to be «fresher». Some had already wilted and the miniature carnation on my mom’s wristlets was brown on the edges. Also, there were some colors in my bouquet that I had requested not be and the flowers for the centerpeices were not what I had imagined as my request. It was very hard to write that because Mary was not only amazing and affordable, but went above and beyond any of my expectations. I just think it’s fair to state the good — or great — as well as the stuff that would need improvement. I would recommend to any friend, family member, or bride-​to-​be!
