Great Expectations Flowers has my highest recommendation. Our flowers were the perfect compliment to my daughters wedding. Inka truly captured our ideas and gave us beautiful bouquets and reception arrangements. Our guests loved the vintage feel that our flowers helped create and Inka was wonderful to work with.

Inka was very professional and delightful to work with. The flower arrangements were absolutely beautiful. I have received many compliments on them. I would highly recommend her. LTL (Mother of the groom)

Inka did the flowers and table decor for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah in Annapolis last year, at the Annapolis Maritime museum...and I couldn't be happier!!! The whole ambiance was just magical. Inka perfectly captured the mood we wanted to convey...beachy but also soft and romantic...she had all her own props..from lanterns to shells to crystal vases; she made these AMAZING flower pom poms that were hung form the ceiling in addition to paper lanterns. the flowers were so fresh and classy and I got SO MANY compliments! She also made these lovely flower garlands and wreaths. She was great to work with and I really can't say enough about her sense of style and professionalism. I had a photo of one of the arrangements put on canvas ..they were THAT beautiful.

Working with Inka was wonderfuly, particularly since I did not know exactly what I wanted - I only had colors in mind. She came up with a great vision and put it all together. My flowers were AMAZING - many guests commented they had never seen such beautiful flowers at a wedding. I cried when I saw them I was so thrilled, even my husband said he loved him - not a "flower guy" to say the least. We were married in August, a very humid and hot day. The flowers (including hydrangea which wilt easily) lasted the whole day, no wiliting, they looked perfect from start to finish, including the ceremony flowers which were placed outside. I could not have been more happy with this choice and the volume of flowers I received for the money that was spent could not be beat by other vendors. I highly recommend.

Inka's arrangements were absolutely stunning!

She captured the feeling we wanted of sophistication while still keeping an element of playfulness in all of the bouquets, chair pomanders and arrangements.

I loved how the bouquets "glistened with water drops" all night long.

Wow, what beautiful colors for the roses, hydrangea and orchid stems... and then to add the "birds of paradise," the bright pink Alpinia purpurata and deep orange lilies in the buffet arrangements, absolutely amazing.

We got so many compliments.

Inka, was as wonderful to work with as her beautiful creations.
We could not have asked for anything more.

Inka was wonderful! I had no idea what kinds of flowers I wanted but Inka knew exactly what would work. She presented me with a few ideas after talking to me about my style and the wedding style. I'm a little hands off so I just told her what ideas I liked and I essentially told her to do her thing. And she did not disappoint! Not only was my bouquet beautiful, but she managed to tie in the bridesmaids dresses to my dress, which was a feat and a half since the bridesmaids dresses didn't exactly match my dress.
She really is amazing with flowers! She is also a lovely person which makes her really easy to work with. She works out of her home which dramatically reduces the price of the flowers because she doesn't have the overhead costs of leasing and running a shop. I did a little comparison shopping and she seemed to come in way under what other places were quoting me.
I have recommended her to many of my friends and co-workers. You just cannot go wrong with Great Expectations Flowers by Inka!!! Not to be cheesy, but she should rename her company, Exceeds Your Expectations Flowers by Inka!

Great Expectations Flowers by Inka did an absolutely GORGEOUS job. They really helped make our day perfect and beautiful and captured the feel and the look I was going for incredibly. They were also amazingly flexible and reliable. I planned my wedding from across the country but Inka made it easy to do. Everything turned out even better than I dreamed! Plus the price for the quality of work absolutely could not be beat. Simply wonderful all around!

Inka was amazing!! I had a very simple, yet specific vision for our wedding and she went beyond anything I could have asked for. Several other florists I contacted told me they would not do all-hydrangea wedding boquets because they would not last, but Inka said no problem-- and despite the June heat they were stunning! She also transformed our indoor ceremony space to look like an outdoor garden.

I could not be happier with her work, and I felt absolutely comfortable taking all of her recommendations and suggestions. When I saw my boquet I literally jumped up and down shrieking. There are less pricey options out there but if flowers matter to you, trust me-- she's the best in the Annapolis area! Some people think it's crazy to spend a lot of money on flowers that only last one day, but if you saw our photographs with these gorgeous boquets it would change your mind! I used to work for a florist-- don't underestimate the power of flowers. :)

A delight to work with. Made choosing the flowers for the wedding a very easy task. We brought some ideas to the table and Inka made them a reality. Her visions are extraordinary! We had more compliments on the flowers than anything else. We also felt the prices were reasonable. Selecting Great Expectations would be a very wise choice for your flower arrangements.

From our initial meeting with Inka, we knew she had completely gotten our concept for the wedding and was the florist we wanted to work with. Inka is very professional, quick to respond to emails and easy to work with. She listened to our ideas to make sure she understood what we were looking for and gave her professional opinion as to what would work best.
With less than 5 months to plan our wedding for 250 guests we had a to do list a mile long. With Inka on our wedding “dream team” we knew it would be a fantastic day. Inka made herself available to come to see our church and reception venue weeks in advance to make sure she got the feel of the house. With her team, she took sketches, photos, measurements and worked with the rest of our vendors to ensure everything would come together properly and would be just as we wanted it. To say she far exceeded our expectations is an understatement. We were absolutely blown away by Inka’a amazing work. On wedding morning, Inka and her team arrived at our house with vans full of flowers and began to transform both the house and outdoor tent that we used for the reception. They did 9 bouquets, boutonnieres for the boys, 2 very large arrangements for the alter at the church, 23 centerpieces for the tent, 4 large outdoor pieces and several very large arrangements for the house all within plenty of time.
For the tent, Inka designed 3 different types of florals for the tables; a high arrangement, a mid arrangement where she used our personal silver pieces and a low in glass vases. They were all unique and perfect -- just what we were all looking for. The only word to describe the large floral arrangements both inside and outside of the house is “breathtaking”. Flowers had never been done before that fit the house so incredibly well and not only were they beautiful on their own, but they complemented the beauty of the home. Inka is truly an outstanding florist and a master of her trade.
