Wedding 2.0 💐

They did a fantastic job with the bouquets and all flowers over all! They brought the flowers to the bridal suite at the Aqua Turf, they were in vases or at least some source of water to keep them fresh. We loved meeting with Virginia and the staff prior to the wedding. We kept in touch with phone calls and emails.
We had a lot of compliments about how beautiful the flowers were !

Beautiful wedding flowers

Virginia was one of the nicest vendors we had worked with for our wedding. The flowers were beautiful and everything we wanted, color-wise and with what we ordered. She was super accommodating up front with working with a budget, which was nice compared to other vendors we talked to that wanted to charge very high amounts. Flowers were already at venue by the time we all arrived, all was perfect! Thanks O'Rourke and Birch!

Ginny and her team were absolutely amazing, every step of the way. I wasn't really sure what I wanted, but was fairly particular about the "look" we were going for, and everyone was so helpful in creating exactly the right pieces for our wedding. She took all of our preferences into consideration, never made decisions or changes without consulting us, was understanding about our budget (finding ways to help us achieve what we wanted without pressuring us to spend more), was incredibly flexible with scheduling appointments, was in constant communication (even following up when I lost track of days and was far overdue to call her with information!), and was overall an absolute pleasure. We've visited other florists in the past, but I'll never use another florist or flower shop now that we've found Ginny at O'Rourke and Birch!!

I am SO glad I stumbled upon this florist! Virginia meets with you in depth regarding the entire feel you want for your wedding day. She takes the ENTIRE picture into account and asks the right questions. She was up front about willing to work with any kind of budget right off the bat, which made me feel instantly at ease. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows! Our flowers were perfect, and I would not have changed a thing. She even called me the day of to make sure everything was going smoothly and that I wasn't concerned with any last minute changes. Love her!

Virginia from O'Rourke and Birch was so enjoyable to work with. We had a tight budget and she worked beautifully with it. She made amazing bouquets for all the girls. She put her own special touch to every one of them. She's such a friendly person, she even gave our daughter a bouquet of flowers...free of charge, when we went for our initial meeting. Virginia ended up also being our JP for the wedding. She's such a nice person and really highlighted our best qualities. She made the ceremony absolutely beautiful and memorable.
