Emily Sent on 08/24/2017I’m not sure where to begin with Mary’s review and I wish I could give her & Steelcut Flower Co. 10 stars instead of 5. Everything was exceptional and I can’t recommend her enough.
When I found Mary, I knew almost instantly that she was the florist for me. We clicked and I felt a strong connection with her work. She has such a lovely and creative way about her & her floristry. When viewing her work, you will see that what she creates goes far beyond flower arranging, it’s ART. She puts her heart and her soul into her work and I adore her one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
Within the first 30 minutes of our first meeting, Mary knew exactly what we wanted and she flawlessly brought my vision to life. Both myself and my husband were SO impressed. I remember my husband during our first look on our wedding day said, “Em, have you SEEN THE FLOWERS?” He was in awe and so was I.
I did all the branding and invitation designs for our wedding and Mary took what I created and matched everything perfectly with her florals. It was a beautiful collaboration and all of our guests loved & noticed this. From the bouquets to the table arrangements, everything was extraordinary. We’re still getting compliments about the flowers. My sister (the MOH) just told me yesterday that the flowers were her favorite part of the wedding.
Mary was responsive and professional. She was always happy to chat via email or meet for coffee. She works with your ideas and your budget to give you the perfect flowers. She’s patient, kind, and is a great listener.
I can’t recommend her enough and I only hope to collaborate with her again in the future.
THANK YOU Mary & Steelcut Flower Co. for making our botanical dreams come true!!

Mary Ellen and Steelcut were a fantastic flower vendor for our wedding. Mary Ellen was extremely helpful with the planning process and very flexible when it came to changing/editing the plan. She took our design photos and somewhat vague ideas and turned them into an incredibly gorgeous display day of. All of our flowers looked amazing, whether it was the grounded arch for the outdoor ceremony, the bridal bouquets, the multiple distinct table designs, or the boutonnieres everything was beautiful, fresh, and stunning. She created the romantic vision/mood we were hoping for. Loved the bridal bouquet and we got so may compliments on the flowers. -

Brought my vision to life
It was amazing working with Emma and steel cut Maryland for my august wedding. Meeting with her I knew she had to do my florals. She took my ideas and made the perfect idea board and then brought that board to life in the most beautiful florals I have ever seen at a wedding. Every installation, bouquet, and table scape was absolutely breathtaking. I was so happy I picked SteelCut for my wedding. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an artistic and beautiful florist. -

SO gorgeous!
I highly recommend hiring Steelcut. Emma was so easy to work with, even during our date rescheduling. She quickly understood our aesthetic. Our florals at the church and venue were even more beautiful than I had imagined. She and her team have impeccable taste and mega talent. Beautiful work. -

Emma and her team are amazing. I had the most stunning flowers at my wedding. She took my vision and truly brought it to life, incorporating elements that I haven't seen before. Her attention to detail and creativity shine through her work. I could not have been happier with how all my flowers turned out. Pick Steelcut Flowers if you want organic, beautiful flowers. -

Amazing florist!
Mary Ellen was so great to work with, and I was blown away by our wedding florals. I had a pretty easy job deciding on almost all of our wedding vendors, but I took months to find the perfect florist, and Steelcut Flower Co was worth the wait! I was not working with the biggest budget, and from the proposal through the final execution it was clear that Steelcut was so capable of making absolute magic from every dollar without excessive fees and making each element a really high-impact piece.
I was most thrilled with the incredible taste, style, and talent Mary Ellen brought to our design. I had a really specific vision and wanted something that felt really autumnal without being too on-the-nose, orange and red (or "pumpkin patch", as Mary Ellen put it), and she really nailed it with unique colors and incredibly unexpected details using fruit (tons!), branches, and grasses to beautiful effect, along with stunning flowers. The arrangements from our ceremony were moved to the front of our bar, which looked like it was emerging from some enchanted forest, with branches taller than the bar top.
Mary Ellen was so easy to work with, and even with a short window to get the venue set up, everything was set up with so much care, down to artfully scattered flower petals. Everything was handled by Steelcut, down to the votives and faux flame candles (unfortunately our venue did not allow open flame). I could not recommend them more! -

I could not recommend more!!!
Emma and her team absolutely nailed the florals for our big day. She was so patient with all of my inspirational imagery, questions, and ideas and brought my vision to life. It was better than I could have ever imagined and we received so many compliments from the guests. It truly brought the space to life. Emma was super professional during the whole process. We got married at my parent's home which was not the typical venue but she handled it with such ease. It was probably my favorite part of our wedding! I could not recommend Steelcut more! -

The most beautiful floral installations - they brought my vision to life!!
Mary Ellen and Steelcut Flower Co. were absolutely amazing!!! We had a very specific aesthetic and very unique elements to our table settings, like fresh citrus and succulents and geometric shapes. They truly brought the summery pop of color vision to life and did everything they could to make our flowers and centerpieces an absolute ten out of ten. Mary Ellen communicated with us every time there was an update and had no problem re-working even the smallest detail. Not to mention she drove 3 hours, one way, from southern Virginia to show us the centerpieces in person. The mother of the groom is experienced in floral arrangements and decor and was very impressed with Mary Ellen and her team - her florist friend was even impressed and tried to book Mary Ellen for a wedding later in 2022 but they were already booked. The highlight of their work was the flower installation above our head table at the reception and the decor on the head table and the geometric decor in front of the sweetheart table (which they had in-house without needing to rent). When the photos came in I was even surprised that to see that they put flowers in other places like the DJ booth, over by the picture frames, etc. It was a nice touch. It really could not have turned out better - we could not recommend Mary Ellen and her team more!! The pictures speak for themselves :)Steelcut Flower Co's reply:
It was truly my pleasure designing for you two, Steve! I loved how visually attuned both of you were, it was such a fun planning process with you all and even better to see it come to life on the day of : )
Wish we could do it again! -

Perfection
Absolute perfection. I am in awe of what Emma and the Steelcut team put together for our wedding. I know I’m biased because it was my wedding, but I’ve been to a lot of events and I have never seen more gorgeous floral arrangements. What they create is truly art and rivals sights you’ll see at the most famous gardens. I had so much fun coordinating with Emma and it was such a breeze! She made my vision came to life and amplified it beyond anything I could’ve ever imagined. -

Working with Emma and her team was the best experience. We had various reschedules due to COVID, and Emma was flexible and helpful through it all. We even had the opportunity to meet with her in her studio to look at some flowers and other tablescape items to help inform the plan. The day of the wedding there were two completely random storms with high winds, even hail (in May)! The set up team was so dedicated to making sure our installments turned out perfectly that they were literally hanging onto them in their raincoats until the storm ended (which is absolutely above and beyond, and never expected!) The final product-you would never know that it wasn't perfect weather all day. From the flower towers to the table arrangements, bouquet and more-the styling is just true art. I have never seen arrangements that compare and recommend Steelcut endlessly! Thank you Emma & team! *Photos by Hannah Mink Photography -

Maire Sent on 10/19/2020A Literal Dream!
Emma was a dream to work with!!
Firstly, she has a spectacular eye and was able to translate my flower dreams into tangible wedding magic - I was absolutely obsessed with my wedding florals; she did a magnificent job!
Second, her compassion, kindness, and flexibility blew me away. As a COVID bride, I didn't know how, if at all, I was going to get married in 2020. Emma was able to accommodate a date change not once, but twice, when an immediate family member was diagnosed with cancer during the planning process. My family and I agree that we have not seen more beautiful florals ever – she truly transformed my backyard into an outdoor cathedral. Wes and I are so so so grateful for Emma. She and her team are skilled, sweet, and impossible to beat! Thank you for everything! -

Our wedding floral design could not have been more beautiful thanks to Ali at Steel Cut. Her knowledge of flowers and how they compliment each other was exactly what I was looking for in a floral designer for my wedding and I was not disappointed in the least. They captured my vision but surprised me by going above and beyond. -

Amanda S. Sent on 11/21/2020SteelCut was amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Emma is truly an incredible person - our original wedding date of April 19 was moved to just a reception on November 8. We decided to have a small ceremony on April 18 with just our parents because of COVID. That morning, she delivered the most beautiful spring bouquet I could have ever dreamed of holding. But it didn't end there!! In November, my spring florals turned into fall foliage and I gave Emma creative liberty with colors and textures. Best decision I could have made! The ballroom at Springfield was full of gorgeous reds and oranges, and smilax spiraling up the four columns of the room. Everyone commented on how lovely the flowers and decorations were, all thanks to Steel Cut. I would 10/10 recommend, and would love to work with this team again!!! -

Jackie Sent on 02/24/2020The flowers at my wedding were a dream
From the initial call, meeting, and followup conversations, to the day-of coordination, everything about working with Steelcut and Emma was flawless, fun and a floral dream come true. They are so talented and made every single one of my requests (even last minute requests) a reality. These women are true artists. I also requested that our flowers be donated after our wedding to local homeless shelters and hospice and they made this happen. I could not recommend them enough!Steelcut Flower Co's reply:
Jackie,
It was truly our pleasure to design for you! We were so in love with how it turned out...wishing with you guys all the best!

I LOVE Steelcut and the incredible work they did making my wedding a magical flowery forest of my dreams! I hired Steelcut after seeing lots of their work around Baltimore and on IG and I had a wonderful experience throughout the planning process. Emma was so friendly and intuitive, knowing exactly what I was thinking without me being able to articulate it. Emma brought my ideas to life and was flexible and responsive in the months leading up to the wedding. Seeing the florals on the wedding day was a next-level enchanting experience. From the moody bouquets to the charming centerpieces, to the greenery they worked hard to place among the string lights, the entire wedding was transformed by Steelcut's vision and artistry. The team also created a circular arch which was oh so stunning and dreamy... I still think about it often. Could not be more grateful for Emma and her team and everything they did to make my wedding unforgettable. Side note, they also decked out a hat I have with flowers for my bridal shower and it was amazing... Anyway, highly recommend and cannot thank enough! -

Stunning work
Mary Ellen and team did an unbelievable job with our wedding florals. Our venue was outside/a tent so there was a lot of natural beauty around, but the ceremony and reception areas themselves were somewhat stark. Mary Ellen transformed the spaces, celebrating the surrounding nature and fall colors while making everything warm and inviting. She captured our vision perfectly and made each element ideal to the space it was in (i.e., lowering planned arrangements on the bar due to wind). I can't recommend Steelcut (and in our case, the Virginia branch particularly) enough! -

Working with Mary Ellen was a dream. I don't know a lot about flowers. but after having an initial call with Mary Ellen and seeing her proposal, I knew Steelcut was the right choice. She nailed our vibe/vision and the flowers at our wedding were absolutely stunning. We got so many complements from our guests. Mary Ellen was very responsive and patient as we went back and forth on various things as the wedding date got closer. HIGHLY recommend!!! -

Lauren Sent on 07/09/2019Wonderful florist!
Steelcut Flower Co. was the perfect choice for our wedding. We found them via instagram when I saw a beautiful flower arch they made and knew I had to have the same. However, other than that I didn't know much about what I wanted for my wedding flowers. They took the very little information and direction I gave them and created beautiful florals for our wedding day. The arch they created was absolutely beautiful and the bouquets and centerpieces were also gorgeous. They were extremely responsive and professional as well. -

I am so so so happy that we got the pleasure of working with Emma at Steel Cut!! Emma is the absolute sweetest and it was so much fun to come up with a floral vision with her! I so love the organic floral look and I feel that Steel Cut captures it so so well!! Emma was so flexible and willing to run with whatever ideas we provided her - even at the last minute!! The day of the wedding I was absolutely stunned by the florals as were my guests!! I got so many compliments about how the florals just lit up the room!! The colors and the design were even better than I had imagined - I was just so so happy!! It was magical!! Can't recommend Steel Cut enough!! -

Jenny Sent on 07/11/2019Would like to give her 100 stars
I don't even know where to begin in trying to describe just how AMAZING it was to work with Mary Ellen at Steelcut Flower Co. So here is my attempt...
Mary Ellen is an ABSOLUTE GENIUS who will take your vision to the next level. She listened to what our vision was and really helped me think about what we could do to make biggest impact within our budget. When I first saw our ceremony and reception space I was overwhelmed with how she took what was an abstract musing in my mind brought it to life in a way that was beyond my wildest dreams.
Her attention to detail shone through in every reception table, arbor installation, and floral hairpiece that she designed. Everything she made for us was not only breathtakingly beautiful but told the story of our shared vision.
On top of her sheer artistry and talent, Mary Ellen is extremly kind and a joy to talk to. From our day one consultation through our wedding day I felt like we were old friends just chatting about flowers and big ideas.
I am so thankful to have worked with Mary Ellen! I can't recommend her enough and hope to work with her again in the future! -
