First Blush

Emma was both my florist and wedding planner. She helped me navigate rescheduling due to covid then again because of a hurricane. She helped me when other vendors weren’t delivering what was promised. She also created wedding flowers for me for the 2021 wedding that was rescheduled due to Henri then again for 8/7/22 wedding. Both times the flowers were absolute perfection.

As a wedding planner, Emma is an absolute angel! Having rescheduled twice and having a myriad of other problems leading up to all three dates I was a wreck by 8/7/22. I reached a point where I was fluctuating between complete procrastination paralysis and extremely intense perfectionism. Emma rode the waves as though she had been my best friend since birth. She knew exactly when to push me along, when to let me vent, when I needed to be hit with the truth that I needed to calm the heck down. At the wedding I found myself wanting to hang out with her because she felt more like a super helpful bridesmaid than a vendor. When I came over to chat with her she immediately wanted to help with whatever my concern was then told me to go sit down and eat my dinner when she realized I was chatting. Haha. She was right too. I didn’t feel hungry, but once I started to eat I realized I needed to.

My daughters are currently 14 and 9. I hooe they want sweet 16s and big weddings because I want more excuses to hire First Blush. I could not recommend them more if I tried!

Her prices were also competitive. Because I essentially had two weddings worth of planning and flowers I’m not exactly sure what I paid. I want to say flowers plus planning was roughly $5000. That sounds like a lot, but don’t let that scare you away. She has different packages and is willing to work with you to find ways to make it as cost effective as it can be. I has A LOT of flowers. So so so many on the tables, 6 bouquets, fireplace mantle pieces, greenery in the tent, potted plants on cocktail tables that I got to take home…there were a lot. I could have have had less and I could have asked for less expensive types. She was willing to be flexible. She also did several tasks i could have theoretically done myself but just couldn’t. Best money I have ever spent!

I worked with Emma on a romantic New England wedding. Emma is exceptionally talented. Her work speaks for itself. She is able to adapt to any circumstance. What's great, she is not just a florist, she is a true artist at heart. Her artistry comes alive through and through in the details. So whatever vision a couple has for their wedding, can only be enhanced by her touches.
