Elegantly Blooming Art of Flowers
Where to begin with the wonderful and beautiful mind and creative eye of such a unique florist.
Well that would be an impossible question to answer about Kirsten, the Owner of Blooming Arts.
Kirsten works so hard to go above and beyond what anyone could imagine one human is capable of to make you more than happy for your wedding day. She dots her “i’s” and double crosses her t’s, leaving you with so much faith in her that you almost forget that you hired a florist on some days. That is until she gives you a call because she is very punctual, and she values your choices, your tastes, your thoughts and your visions. Kirsten takes whatever you want and she gives you exactly that, but if you ask her for some of her ideas to help enhance your vision, it’s almost as if she has a magic wand. Send Kirsten a few of your ideas with Pinterest photos and she will take your images and sleep on them for a few nights, let things marinate in her beautiful mind, and then suddenly she will really have you gratified. That’s what she did with us.
One day Kirsten contacted us to follow up and let us know that she had put together some rough ideas and that she was going to send us a few photos via text message to show us. We were so excited to see, and to no surprise our eyes lit up and we knew that we had no doubt in our mind that we wanted to stick to our choice of geometric, minimalistic, and elegant with a range of fuchsia colors for our early October Wedding.
Since we were so happy with what we saw, we set up another date to meet up in person. Kirsten was very detailed and thorough in this meeting because she was ready to dive in head first and get into her shop to get to work! We went through the entire map/floor plan of the venue together so that we could get counts of how many geometric shapes, how many candles, how many flowers, and so on and so forth for each table. She asked us if we wanted to switch things up and alternate from one table to the next using a tall vintage looking golden candelabra that would have little cute candles and a round bouquet of flowers floating around the center of it, and of course we took her recommendation!
We are going to fast-forward to the day of the wedding because we are too anxious to get the written part of this review complete in order to be able to upload some photos!
The Ceremony:
Kirsten arrived before anyone else to get started just so that she had ample time to make everything perfect. When we arrived at the venue, we were so taken away at how beautiful our arch looked. Down the aisle beautiful white lanterns with candles and a sprig of green. The ladies all got beautiful bouquets, all the men got crisp and clean boutonnières, and she even gave the mother of the bride a gorgeous corsage just to feel super special for her daughter on such a wonderful day.
When the ceremony was over all headed inside and just inside the entrance, Kirsten made a custom manzanita piece which added such a cool and unique feel.
The Reception:
Each and every table couldn’t have been more perfect, tall cylindrical vases with floating candles, golden votives with candles, the perfect range of all the colors we asked for to match the theme of our wedding along with stunning candelabras to mix modern and minimalistic with vintage in such a wonderful way.
Last but not least, Kirsten decorated our sweetheart table with passion as well as our 5 tier wedding cake with just the right amount of flowers to make it look even more sweet!
We could not possibly imagine working with any other florist after seeing the way that our wedding turned out. We were showered with so many compliments from all of our family and friends and the best thing of all is that Kirsten is a such a total sweetheart. Kirsten relieved us of so much stress and made our big day feel so elegant and special. Please spend a moment enjoying all of the photos that we post to truly understand all of our warm words spoken about such a wonderful florist. Thank you Kirsten! We will never forget what you did for us and we love you very much!!!!!
