I will NOT be choosing the Flowerman Columbus for my wedding day flowers. From the time I contacted them it took almost 2 weeks to schedule a consultation. It then took another week for them to call me back about my quote and I still don't have it.
The professionalism was awful. I received phone calls after business hours; the latest one being around 8:30pm. The consultant was very unprofessional in her manner of speaking; citing personal reasons as to why I was not contacted in a timely manner and going into great detail about her personal life.
I've heard that Flowerman is the best value but in this case I would say you get what you pay for. Cheap flowers = cheap service. Personally I'd rather pay a little more and get professional, timely service. I'm extremely disappointed because Flowerman came highly recommended by several friends who used them for their weddings.
The Flowerman Columbus responded with the following comments:
I am incredibly sorry for the lack of timely response regarding your wedding flowers. As The Flowerman's primary consultant in Columbus, a great deal of responsibility lies with me, and I take my job very seriously. Recently, however, I have experienced a lot of trouble with my health and in my immediate family. I have been out of state or in the hospital more days these past few weeks than I have been at work. It has been very difficult to keep up with all of our requests while being in such poor health. We have some assistants who have been coming in and helping our immediate/January brides, but since this time of year is our "off-season," we are less-staffed and many brides have had to wait. I am back to work this week, and I have done my best in the meantime to inform brides as to why they have been waiting longer than usual by letting them know exactly why I was gone. I'm sorry you did not appreciate my personal candidness. It seems to me that most people would appreciate a call at 8:30 PM (we work until that time at the shop because many of our brides wish to meet with us after work in the evenings) with a request for a bit of patience and an explanation as to why they've had to wait a couple of extra days for a response, instead of no contact at all. Brides who have patiently waited will be rewarded for their time. We have some "thank you for your patience and understanding" discounts that they will be receiving from me personally. I'm sorry we couldn't help you with your wedding flowers at this time, but I trust you will find someone else in the city who can. There are many lovely florists in the area. I believe you will find that at this time of year, however, many wedding vendors will be booking their consultations two weeks out and having you wait a week to recieve a customized quote. Thank you for your review. I think if you had chosen to use The Flowerman for your wedding, you would have found our flowers to be more than fresh and our personal attentiveness to be quite excellent as your wedding drew nearer.

We were extremely pleased with our experience with The Flowerman Columbus. Melissa did a great job at helping to pick the flowers for our daughter's wedding and gave helpful advice on our decorating. She advised us to order some sample flowers before we placed our order and we are so glad we did; it helped to see the color of the flowers and convinced us that the flowers we chose were exactly what the bride wanted. We also took a class taught by Melissa that was very helpful and fun. We came home with beautiful bouquets to enjoy. We enjoyed the assembly of our flowers for the wedding, we had lots of help and fun with Lauren. On the day of the wedding, Melissa and Lauren did a beautiful job setting up our flowers; they went above and beyond. The flowers were more beautiful than I had imagined and I am looking forward to working with The Flowerman Columbus again in the future. Melinda

Flowerman did an AMAZING job with the flowers for my wedding! Everyone commented on how beautiful they were! They truly took my breath away, and nowhere else in Columbus would I have been able to have so many flowers around my wedding with so little cost. I put together everything except for my bridal bouquet, and we had so much fun doing it! It was a great thing way to spend time with my mom and bridesmaids right before the wedding, and the coaches were so helpful. Anytime we had a question, they were right there to help. There was no way to tell we put those flowers together ourselves- they looked that good. I would recommend Flowerman to anyone! AMAZING!!!

I did the DIY flowerman flowers for my wedding. It was such a fun time. It is amazing how easy it is to make flowers, the teacher goes step by step with your group and helps you with any questions you may have a long the way. I would highly recommend this to anyone. They looked as though they were done by a professional, but saved a lot of money.

My experience with Flowerman could not have been better! Melissa and Lauren were both wonderful to work with. They are patient, understanding, and highly knowledgeable about flowers and arrangements. We had such a great time putting together the bouquets - what a memorable experience that made my wedding even more special. Thank you Flowerman!!

We had a wonderful time working with Melissa during our flower party. It was actually very relaxing to have something to do and something to focus on the day before the wedding. It was a relaxed atmostphere and it was alot of fun to see how proud my team was of our creations during the wedding and reception. I would highly recommend flowerman- we saved alot of money and everything looked great! I did a combo- we created the bouts, bridesmaid bouquets, corsages and centerpieces, the bridal bouquet was professional.
The Flowerman Columbus responded with the following comments:
Hi, Bridget! Good for you for going with a combination wedding. It's the way to go, in my opinion. :) Having your bridal bouquet professionally made by our design team allows you to focus more time and fun on the other pieces that are better for construction with the rest of your group. Glad you enjoyed the process and loved your flowers! :)Hi, Bridget! Good for you for going with a combination wedding.

The Flowerman Columbus was a wonderful experience! In the midst of all the chaos of preparing for a wedding, it was a great way to forget everything and enjoy spending some time with my mother, and mother-in-law while putting together our own bouquets, corsages and boutineres! How many people can say that? The staff helps you with every step to ensure your flowers look the best they can & we now have a cool memory to share with family & friends! Two thumps up! :)
The Flowerman Columbus responded with the following comments:
Two "thumps" up to you too! ;) Haha! We so enjoyed working with you... you and your family members were SUCH a sweet group to coach.

This was a fabulous experience - top of the line service and attention to detail . Melissa is wonderful and helpful in every way . i knew next to nothing about flowers - but after the intial consultation i felt like Melissa knew exactly the look i was going for and helped me stay in my budget . the actual diy party was lots of fun for me and my bridesmaids and i felt really great on my wedding day knowing that my flowers were beautiful and that we actually MADE them - lol . i would recommend flowerman weddings to anyone wanting real flowers for their wedding or event.

I really wanted real flowers for our wedding, so the Flowerman was the perfect solution. We decided on the DIY option which was extremely affordable, and not only did it save us a LOT of money, it was a lot of fun, too! My mom, maid of honor, mother-in-law and two of my husband's aunts joined me in making the flowers the day before the wedding. We brought lunch and had a really great time assembling the flowers. I honestly did not realize it would be as much fun as it was! I was getting stressed with all of the things I had to do before the big day, but assembling the flowers actually gave me some time to relax. Melissa was so great in working with me and even met with me for a 2nd consultation to make sure things were exactly the way I wanted them to be. Flowerman in Columbus is great!!! :)

I can't say enough good things about The Flowerman! Going in, knowing nothing about flowers, I was a little skeptical! However, the staff was WONDERFUL. I showed them some pictures of what I liked, and they helped me pick out the most beautiful flowers that were just what I was looking for. I loved that they really listened to me and helped me to create what I wanted. I was so impressed with them that I went back a few weeks later to help a friend with the flowers for her wedding, and have also recommended them to another friend getting married this year!
The Flowerman is amazing - they can help you make your flowers affordable through their unique DIY and Designer experiences.
They are so creative - they really know what flowers look good together, what flowers are in season, etc.
My flowers truly made my wedding come together and I received so many compliments.
Definitely recommend The Flowerman!!

Loved putting together my own flowers. Instructor was very helpful. Had fun building my flowers with my bridesmaids and mother in law. Very good value for flowers

I definitely reccomend the flowerman. I was able to change my plan as I built my flowers, to ensure they looked how I wanted. I made my own boutineers, centerpieces (2 types, 10 each) and bridesmaids boquets. I can't imagine how much I saved, probably close to $1000. I was able to use high end flowers (lilies, hydrangea - sprayed to enhance color, dyed blue orchids) etc, at a fraction of the cost.
I would reccomend getting the bride's boquet made by a professional if you really want it to look picture perfect, just so you don't bruise it, etc.
The responsiveness of Melissa was a little slow, but as long as you plan early, its fine. You are able to change your order and plan up to 30 days before.
