About

I've always loved to throw a good party. Even as a kid, I would gather flowers from the garden for a table arrangement, take out my mom's china and goblets, and work to make dinner a grand presentation for my farmer father and brothers.

Since then my floral talents have been refined (and more appreciated!) by a loyal base of customers. I've designed creations for special events, dinner parties, holiday affairs, weddings and other religious services.

For many years, I juggled family life and full-time work in downtown Washington, DC, squeezing in floral projects in the "in between hours."

Funny thing…politics doesn't offer the immediate gratification that flowers do and I have found brides to be more decisive than most politicians! So I followed my dream to establish a floral design business focused on celebrations, holidays and special occasions. My team consists of seasoned designers who share my commitment to artistic excellence and personal service.

Stunning wedding flowers!

Free Spirit Floral was one of the best decisions we made for our daughter's wedding. Mary Beth was a pleasure to work with! We had a very detailed meeting about our vision, and Mary Beth delivered exactly that and more. The bouquets and centerpieces were absolutely stunning! We couldn't have been happier! Such a stress free experience!

Beautiful Touch

Mary Beth was wonderful from the start, we initially planned for our wedding in May but because of COVID we had to reschedule to a later date. She was accommodating to our change and helped select beautiful arrangements that were stunning. We ordered all of our flowers from her and were impressed with every detail. The Day Of delivery was better than expected with Mary Beth personally delivering the flowers to the bridal suite. We would highly recommend Free Spirit Floral.

Beautiful Bouquets, Great Experience

I called MaryBeth about a month before my wedding when the initial vendor I planned to use went radio silent. At our initial appointment, I was immediately put at ease by her friendly, professional manner. She listened to my vague ideas and made recommendations accordingly, and I was more than pleased with the results. The price was reasonable and she even threw in a bonus arrangement on the day of the wedding. Would definitely recommend!

The most beautiful arrangements I've ever seen!

Mary Beth was an absolute joy to work with. She was so friendly and extremely helpful. She really listened to what my vision was for the wedding, and even though I was not super familiar with flowers, she helped guide me with the right questions. She provided me with a variety of options to choose from and created the most beautiful arrangements I have ever seen. Absolutely everyone commented on my bouquet, the wreath she made, and the bridesmaid bouquets. She did an exquisite job and I couldn't recommend Free Spirit Floral's more! Thank you Mary Beth!

I am so happy we went with Mary Beth for our wedding flowers. I interviewed several florists and immediately liked her vibe and creativity, even just over the phone. Her proposals were very well thought out and she went through several drafts to make sure that we were on the same page about the aesthetic and budget. And the day of the bouquets and arrangements were GORGEOUS! I got so many compliments on them. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Mary Beth was wonderful to work with to plan flowers for our summer wedding at Lincoln's Cottage. Having never planned florals, I had a million questions. She was very patient and helpful throughout! After receiving my first proposal, I asked to switch up some flowers, and she had wonderful suggestions about what would be most appropriate given the DC heat and my aesthetic. I was beyond happy on my wedding day to see that the bouquets were exactly what I had envisioned. They looked amazing in our photos. Highly recommended all around!

Mary Beth and her team at Free Spirit Floral are absolutely fantastic! After reading several reviews, I chose Mary Beth. We met and discussed my vision for the wedding. She was charming, professional and responsive. Upon receiving my proposal- I discovered that Mary Beth had perfectly envisioned my dream wedding. Mary Beth worked closely with me on every little detail and was flexible and kind when there were some last minute changes. On the day of the wedding when my bouquets arrived- I was blown away! It was beautiful. When we arrived at the venue and I saw my dream in real life I was thrilled! I highly recommend Free Spirit Floral for your wedding or any event. Lovely, thoughtful, personalized and affordable. Absolutely wonderful!

We love love love to work with Free Spirit Floral! Mary Beth has an incredible eye for making bouquets and arrangements that last and are stunningly beautiful.

She's great at listening to her clients--for instance, my husband's favorite band is Pink Floyd and our wedding colors were fuchsia and navy. Mary Beth immediately thought of using bright Pink Floyd roses throughout our bouquets and arrangements. It was really the perfect touch.

Whenever I work with Mary Beth (and I have for a number of other events), I always feel like I am her most important customer. That's such a pleasure. Her prices are more than fair, delivery is always on time, and set up perfect.

Mary Beth was amazing to work with! She did the flowers for our wedding on 10/25/14 and was recommended to use from the Carlyle Club (venue in Alexandria, VA). Mary Beth was organized and came to our first meeting with so many good ideas. She's perfect for a bride like me that knew some basic colors that I wanted but was very open to ideas and flower types. I was on a budget and Mary Beth was very upfront with costs and ways to trim costs. All in all I couldn't have picked a better florist and am so happy with Mary Beth's efforts.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
