Absolutely incredible.

Southern Blooms was absolutely incredible. To start, they were SUCH a joy to work with -- so flexible, kind, creative, easy, and professional. Most importantly, their work product blew us away. The flowers were just absolutely stunning and more perfect than we could have imagined. Every single touch was magical –- not just the main bouquets, which were gorgeous, but also the greenery on the chandeliers, the centerpieces at the reception, the floor displays at the entrance to the aisle, florals on our posters, I could go on and on. The chuppah they made us was also out of this world fantastic. Not only was it beautiful, but it was also incredibly sturdy! My husband and I faced some severe rain right before and during our ceremony, but the chuppah stood totally firm and in fact provided amazing protection from the rain for us and our officiant during the ceremony. It was astounding and so special. All that to say, we really felt at every step of the way that we were in the best hands possible with Southern Blooms. You should seriously go book them right now!!!

Fall Florals of my DREAMS

Sherry was so lovely to work with! After a few back and forths on my vision for bright, fall florals she took it and just ran with it. The floral arch, bouquets and tablescapes were straight out of Pinterest. My mouth dropped at the first sight - I could not believe how perfect the florals were. They were worth every penny! All of our guests were beyond stunned at how incredible the floral arrangements turned out. Thank you Sherry and Southern Blooms team from the bottom of my heart for making all of my wedding flower dreams come true!!!

Creative florals!

Spectacular!!!! And let me start by saying, I didn't think I cared about florals, until I met Sherry and Pat... But they brought a vision (I didn't even know I had), to life!

Southern blooms did the flowers for my wedding in October 2019. They took some really loose visions and made some funky, unique, gorgeous bouquets and arrangements! I was in love with the flowers. I had never seen anything like them, but felt like they fit right in.

Pat and Sherry were so flexible and creative, they were a dream to work with. I was humbled by their thoughtfulness in how to reuse the florals throughout the night. They are honest women, who do amazing work. Further, I emailed them almost daily in the days leading up to the wedding, adding and changing last minute items... they rolled with all the punches!

I cannot recommend these gals enough!

Exceeded my already high expectations!!

Southern Blooms exceeded my already high expectations. I had hired them based on their excellent reputation and they certainly delivered! The flowers at our wedding were stunning - they really transformed the entire space. Guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was. Pat and Sherry are wonderful people to work with and were great at listening to what we wanted and then making our vision a reality. Everything looked perfect and we couldn't have been happier.

The most beautiful flowers we could have ever imagined!

We were thrilled to work with Southern Blooms. They were a pleasure to work with from the beginning (happy to adjust our orders as small details changed leading up to the big day) and WOW were the flowers amazing. We received SO many compliments from our guests. I didn't realize floral arrangements could have such an impact on our wedding -- but they did. And we will treasure our photos of their arrangements as well as the pressings that I am so glad we ordered.

Southern Bloom by Pat's Floral Design is hands down THE BEST FLORAL DECISION YOU'LL MAKE. They're easy to work with, quick on communication, and put together the most beautiful floral arrangements I've ever seen. Working with Pat and her team was a dream -- they knew exactly what we wanted to see and really brought our ideas to life, far exceeding our expectations. I've received soooo many compliments on my florals, and in particular, the chuppah! They made my wedding an absolute dream.

This was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning and the big day. We absolutely LOVED everything about our experience with this company and Pat and Sherry. My mom and I got to have a meeting with them to discuss our floral preferences and it was one of the most fun conversations we had during wedding planning. We felt as if we all left as friends. They were an absolute JOY to work with. As far as their flowers? Pure artwork - every creation they did for us was absolutely beautiful. The flowers had me speechless on wedding day. You have nothing to fear when you hire Pat & Sherry to provide the florals/greenery for your wedding day. They took my vision and made it even better than I could have imagined. Our pictures are absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could have kept all of the flowers forever. Can't speak highly enough of them! There's nobody better in the area and they are worth every penny!

Unbelievable. I could not have asked for more beautiful flowers for our wedding. They were great to work with, offered excellent suggestions based on our interests, and executed it perfectly. They were able to provide us with some additional furniture rentals which was an added bonus to avoid an extra delivery fee had we needed to do it with another vendor. There is a reason these guys are featured in so many magazines! So beautiful!

If you want a genuine, kind, talented, dedicated group of individuals look no further. Pat's floral design is amazing! They took the time to meet with us, capture our personality and work small details into the wedding design to make everything just perfect! They literally tied figure eight knots into the bridal bouquet to help highlight our passion of rock climbing (they also added rope detail into the groom and groomsmen boutonnieres). They obviously really care about the work they do and it really shows in their flawless execution. They were a joy to work with and helped make our wedding absolutely perfect! Thank you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
