Let me start by saying that the flowers for my wedding were perfect - simple and elegant, yet stunningly beautiful. Rob listened to exactly what I wanted, and worked within my budget very well. And I did not have a large budget (I told him I wanted to spend less than $1000). We got so many compliments on them and our priest even wants to purchase the vases that were used to hold the two masses of hydrangeas on the altar.

My only complaint/concern is that during the process, I needed to get ahold of Rob and could not get him for a few weeks either by phone or email. His receptionist is REALLY nice and was patient with my calls. I had started to get worried and we finally connected when I dug up his cell phone number. But, in the end when it counted, he came through with exactly what he promised!

Rob at Events in Bloom does EXCEPTIONAL work. He is at times difficult to get in contact with, and I had trouble receiving my invoices in a timely fashion; however, the arrangements he does are art. They are not just flowers. He has wonderful ideas and is dedicated to making your wedding look beautiful. I also really appreciated that he did not try to push a bunch of things I didn't want on me. For our preliminary pricing, we added many different arrangements, linens, and other decor elements that I wasn't sure I wanted to use. When I just wanted to do the bare minimum for flowers in the end, he just took those off with just an "okay," and we went on with our planning. I loved how I got exactly what I wanted with no headache or guilt trip from him.

I recommend him without hesitation.

The flowers were gorgeous!!! They made the wedding look very elegant. I had some trouble contacting them after our initial meeting because the person I spoke with ended up leaving. I wasn't aware of that until I called myself. I just wished they would have told me about that. However, once I actually spoke to Rob Smith, it turned out great. I told him about my budget and he really worked with me. Our centerpieces were beautiful!!! I was fairly happy with his work. The services are a little expensive but at the end, it's worth it.

I was so excited when i booked events in bloom for my wedding. I visited the office and left completely satisfied with what we were going to do. I received the estimate and booked him knowing things could be "cut down" to stay within my budget. My next meeting to finalize the flowers definately proved me wrong. I couldnt get him to come up with ideas within my budget. He just didnt understand that when i say i can spend $4000 on flowers that doesnt mean....$7,000 is close enough. Once i conveyed to him I had to stay within my budget and asked for alternative ideas he completely started ignoring my emails and wouldnt return any of my phone calls. This was all happening about 20 days before my wedding!!! I finally had to tell him I was only going to use him for my ceremony flowers. I quickly found an alternative florist who did more than he was going to do for $500 under my budget. Since I was still using him for my ceremony flowers i called and paid the balance and scheduled a time for the flowers to be picked up. On the day of my wedding i get a frantic phone call from my wedding coordinator that Rob was witholding the flowers b/c I had not paid. I called and left my credit card number with him 10 days PRIOR!!!! I gave it to him again and then 10 minutes later he found the note that had been made in my file with my payment information. He didnt even apologize. When my flowers finally arrived I was so dissapointed. I had used Rob for my Bridal Portrait bouquet and loved It! I has specified I wanted my bouquet for the wedding exactly the same as the one made for my bridal portrait. When i saw it, it was half the size and he didnt put the crystals in it I had requested and PAID FOR. I paid over $250 for a tiny bouquet. My bridesmaids bouquet's were very small as well. All in All...unless you have an unlimited Flower budget....Rob is not the person to work with. He doesnt understand a budget and wont work with you on it. He simply ignores you.

Rob is absolutely hands down the best florist in Houston. Every other vendor that I worked with even told me that Rob is the best. He took the time to show us previous work he had done and took us to look at flowers and let us pick what we liked and he put it all together. The ceremony was unbelievable and the reception was too. Our guests are still talking about how amazing our tables looked at the reception. I loved working with Rob, he is a genius!

Flowere were absolutely gorgeous! The designer is very creative and responsive to anything I wanted. He selected great flowers to compliment my wedding day colors!

Rob is THE BEST, hands down! He listened, he offered advice but wasn't pushy. He worked with my daughter, even taking her to the warehouse to show her different types of flowers that he had in mind for her arrangements after she told him she wanted alot of COLOR! He took time to make up arrangements for her to see. The end product was that The Rice Hotel ballroom had never looked lovelier once Rob had added his special touches to each table, from the candles to the smaller arrangements to the large, on-of-a-kind masterpieces!
Once Rob talks to the bride (and her mom, of course!), HE GETS IT................. That is unusual for a creative person. Often they want to do it their way, but not Rob. He wants his brides to be happy. He can do any kind of work. For my daughter's wedding, it was very classy, but not overdone. The look he created was one of romance and celebration! And he happily worked with her budget, which also is not often done, especially in a large city. I can't say enough about the talent, professionalism and enthusiasm of this great designer!

Rob had come highly recommended to us and after our first meeting i was extremely pumped about working with him. He promised we'd go to the flower market and look at stuff and I was genuinely thrilled. Months later I had to beg and plead and have my coordinator plead, too, for a proposal. We finally got the proposal about a month before the wedding and though it was pricey, I wanted my dream day and the vision we had discussed, and we went forward. The day of the wedding was a disaster. Rob did NOT show up. He sent a contractor whom I'd never seen or met with a list and a truck of flowers, and it was all WRONG. We were short lighting fixtures, every vase was incorrect, we had the wrong number of Bridesmaids bouquets and they were so skimpy, and the white roses were very peachy overall. The contractor Rob sent (who arrived hours later than expected) was snippy and defensive as we were feaking out with no time to fix anything. My guests did not notice that EVERY detail was incorrect , and I am not one to dwell on it, but I was so crestfallen to have it all wrong and then have Rob stand us up without forewarning us he would not be the one there. Overall, it lacked the finesse that everyone had hailed Rob for, and was utterly worng. We were horribly dissappointed and even offended.

I was SO disappointed with this vendor. The flowers were very pretty (although not what I wanted, wrong color and the bridesmaids flowers were not as I asked) but the service was awful. They wanted to charge more than $6,000 for flowers and simple centerpieces. I specially gave them a budget and each time they created a a new estimate it would be at least $1,000 over the budget. Eventually I was told, "For it to look nice you need to do this. I guess it's just not in YOUR budget." I was shocked by how horribly RUDE they were. I was spending $4,000 on flowers and they treated my like I was poor. It was really upsetting. Then, they showed up 45 mins. late to my bridal portrait with my flowers, and THEN at my wedding they were paid to set up the tables (just to put candlelabras on in the center and lite candles, etc.) and they DIDNT DO IT. My groomsmen were setting up the arrangements. It was horrible service and they were VERY rude and not helpful. Unless you have a very large budget I do not recommend this vendor at all. They will treat you like you are not worth their time. I was told that my venue will not use them anymore either, they were very disappointed in their services as well.

My flowers were gorgeous and unconventional and the people w/whom I worked were very nice. However, no one transported the flower arrangements from the ceremony to the reception as was supposed to happen, so we never really go to enjoy them. Also, when my matron of honor arrived at the reception, the flowers that were supposed to be placed on the cake by the florist were in a cup next to a completely blank cake so my matron of honor did an impromptu arrangement while waiting for us to arrive at the reception.

Apparently the person who was supposed to handle all the transport/cake stuff got the flu or something but we were not informed of that at any time. We asked for a partial refund, which we did receive.

I think this was just bad luck due to someone's illness - I would still highly recommend their service since their flowers were so innovative and gorgeous.
