Nicole was absolutely wonderful to work with and we had a great experience dealing with her. We set up an initial meeting through email and she requested plenty of information and pictures of what we liked and what we were thinking of in order to prepare. At that meeting not only did she have pictures and books, but she even went so far as to have sample arrangements for us to look at. None of the other florists we met with did this and we were quite impressed. Nicole listened to what we were looking for and took our ideas and made her own suggestions and came up with just what we wanted. She was also very helpful in offering alternate flower choices in order to achieve the same look with a lower cost which we certainly appreciated.

The bouquets and arrangements were delivered on time and were absolutely gorgeous! I had ordered a head wreath for my flower girl, which was beautiful, but Nicole also brought a small bouquet for her in case she didn't want to wear the wreath or there were any problems with it. The wreath was perfect, but I thought it was really nice of her to include the little bouquet at no charge and the flower girl was thrilled to have her own bouquet!

We had many compliments on how nice all of the flowers were. Not only were they beautiful, but I couldn't believe how long they lasted. We left for our honeymoon the next day and were gone for a week and the flowers were still (for the most part) looking nice when we returned. Two weeks after the wedding I still had many of the flowers in a couple of vases. Incredible!

I would highly recommend Nicole and Blooms of Hope to anyone. She is a sweetheart to work with, has great ideas and suggestions, and provided gorgeous flowers and arrangements.

Nicole was so wonderful throughout this whole process. We had a vision of what we wanted for our wedding, and when that vision changed, Nicole responded without hesitation and delivered flowers that were beyond my expectation--they perfectly fit the day and added the finishing touch to our wedding. Since we were living in NYC, planning a wedding in Maine and using many vendors from the Boston area, it was important that we had vendors that were flexible and responsive to e-mail, which Nicole most certinally was. I feel like I told her the feel and look of what I wanted on my wedding day with few concrete ideas and she made it happen. Plus she is just a really wonderful, nice person!! I highly reccomend her to any bride and groom.

Nicole was amazing! She listened to all I wanted without trying to turn my ideas into something else (I had a few florists try to tell me what I wanted rather than listening to what I wanted, like telling me I wanted roses when I continued to say I did not want roses) Nicole was very organized held on to every picture of arangements I liked and was able to look at these pictures and come up with arrangements that included all of the elements I loved. She was very friendly and any time I sent her an email she got right back to me, even when she was on vacation =). The day of the flowers came out awesome!! They were beautiful and vibrant and all of my guests kept talking about them. My bouquet was in perfect condition even the next day! Over all Blooms of Hope was wonderful to work with and I couldnt of asked for a better florist!!!

I was absolutely thrilled with my Blooms of Hope wedding experience! Nicole Pirani was a pleasure to work with and put so much effort into meeting any requests that I had. She was incredibly responsive and professional and the centerpieces and bouquets she created ended up being even more beautiful than I had envisioned. What really sold me was the fact that Blooms of Hope gives such a large portion of its income as a charitable donation to a worthy cause.

Blooms of Hope provided the perfect flowers for my wedding day and was flexible with the English garden/tea party theme I went with. I loved that 50% of the profits went to a deserving charity. I would highly recommend Blooms of Hope!

She went above and beyond with everything and I would highly recommend Blooms of Hope to any bride!! I also think it's incredible that Nicole donates part of the proceeds to charity. How amazing is that?!?! A+++++++ in every category!!

We loved working with Nicole, she was a pleasure to work with and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a florist (we actually already have). She was very flexible and had great ideas for both our ceremony and reception decor. Her floral arrangement were beautiful and she was so easy to work with. We found other florist who didn't think they could work with our budget or with our colors but Nicole was so wonderful and said we would make it work.....and we did. We also loved the idea that Nicole donates half of her proceeds to charity. She made our wedding day special and made us feel like her only customers.

Nicole of Blooms of Hope is creative, professional and, most importantly, turns out a beautiful end result. My wedding flowers reflected my personality, something that was as important to me as it was to her.

Blooms of Hope is a great choice if you're looking for classic florals with a little extra twist.

It was a pleasure to work with Blooms of Hope. Nicole Pirani (owner) is extremely professional, is meticulous in her work, and she has a great sense of what looks good. She was very willing to suggest options within my budget, and the results were absolutely beautiful. On top of the amazing flowers at Blooms of Hope, the company is community-conscious, in that portions of profits from events are donated to local charities. I highly recommend Blooms of Hope to anyone looking for flowers for an event.

Loved her. She was friendly, personable, flexible. Gave good ideas. The price was average, but the fact that she gives so much to charity is wonderful. She operates from her home and is very welcoming. I really can't complain about anything. She even added an extra boutonnierre last minute for me when we had an extra usher join the ceremony.
