    John is your guy!

    John from A Personal Touch was so amazing to work with. This guy knows his stuff! We were not surprised by his work because he is a well-known florist in our small town and his work is always top notch. When it came to planning our wedding, we knew just who to ask as a florist. I knew what I wanted but couldn’t put it into words. John used his creativity and made the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces I could have ever imagined. He also dressed our ceremony arch with the perfect amount of greenery and hung more greenery from the chandeliers. He worked through the pandemic with us when we needed to postpone our date and he even worked during Mother’s Day weekend to deliver and put together all of our arrangements at our venue the day of our wedding. Everything was perfect and he was so reasonable. I highly recommend him for all events, big or small!

    A Personal Touch Florist's reply:

    thank you it was a pleasure working with you. Many years of happiest. We were able to work around all the issues of Mothers Day week.

    Exactly What I Wanted

    We worked with John at A Personal Touch for our wedding at Nanina's in the Park, and would highly recommend him to anyone. John went above and beyond to deliver our vision. When I first met with him, I did not know what I was looking for. I told him I wanted something less formal and little more rustic. Immediately, John gave me some ideas for lantern/flower centerpieces with lots of greenery, with matching flower arrangements for my girls. On the day of my wedding, I was blown away by the arrangements. They were truly stunning. They were elegant but not formal and stuffy. John gave put candles into the lanterns which made the entire room glow. It was beautiful. John is an artist and he knew what I wanted even when I didn't. Highly recommended florist for any occasion.

    We went to a Personal Touch Florist following the recommendation of a family member and after seeing a fantastic flower arrangement. John was so helpful. He was able to recommend flowers that would last through the day and ensured the classy, upscale feel we were going for. He was a true professional and was good at responding to emails. Arrangements were beautiful and did not overtake the wedding party. We highly recommend A Personal Touch not only for wedding flowers, but any other party arrangements you may need.

    My wedding was on Sunday March 13, 2016 at The Park Savoy Estate, and the flowers Jon put together for us were absolutely amazing! He really helped bring my vision alive and I am so grateful for all of his suggestions and the beautiful flowers! We recommend A Personal Touch Florist to any bride looking for beautiful flowers and someone with amazing ideas to help bring it all together!!

    I can't say enough things about John from A Personal Touch, from the minute my mom and I went to his shop, he made all my worries disappear. Everything I envisioned for wedding flowers and decor exceeded my expectations. The bridal party flowers were absolutely STUNNING. The pew bows were gorgeous, the church sprays were unbelievable, and all the details on the cocktail tables and reception tables were so so beautiful. Our families couldn't wait to take them home along with the baby sugar pumpkins. I loved my bouquet so much that I'm going to be getting it preserved so I can have it forever on our wall. Thank you so much for the beautiful work, and I look forward to getting arrangements from you in the future. THANKS! Nicole & Kevin 10.11.15

    A Personal Touch Florist did the centerpieces on the tables at our wedding reception, the memorial vase and provided the fresh flowers for our cake. The best words to describe how it looked are beautiful and elegant - all our guests were hoping to be able to take one home. In retrospect, I wish I had also used them for my church flowers and bouquets.

    John at A Personal Touch was really great to work with! I went to about 4 or 5 different florists for consultations before choosing A Personal Touch. John listened to my ideas and vision for my wedding, but also made me comfortable that he knew what he was doing and was a pro. I am by no means an expert on flowers, but I did have a couple things I had my heart set on, so he worked with me to design things that would be cost-effective yet suit my vision.
    We ordered all the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages from John, as well as two large floral arrangements, chair bows, and an aisle runner for the ceremony. The price was reasonable so I feel like we got good value for what we paid, and professional quality work. The flowers were as beautiful as promised and lasted throughout the night and even next couple days.
    My only complaint - and this likely could've been remedied if I'd had a coordinator for the day instead of trying to oversee everything myself (impossible!) - is that we never received the throw bouquet for the reception. I'd asked about this at our last meeting before wedding day, and was told it was included, but it was never found on wedding night. I'm not sure if it never got delivered, or if it was misplaced by whoever took delivery of the flowers when they showed up. But no matter, I stole a bridesmaid's bouquet and threw instead, and it all worked out beautifully.

    A Personal Touch Florist's reply:

    Glad you were happy. As far as the throw away that was given to the head waitress along with rose petals for the cake table. They did not have the table set upon delivery. Sorry it was misplaced, I always give the bride there last fing on me!

    John was a pleasure to work with. He helped me finalize my vision, made very helpful suggestions, and worked with my budget. He did an amazing job with the bouquets and flowers for the venue. Everything looked beautiful and elegant!! I highly recommend A Personal Touch!

    I booked A Personal Touch Florist for my wedding day flowers, and I could not be happier! John was a pleasure to work with and listened to everything that I wanted. As an experienced florist, he knew the look I was going for and was great at giving me his advice for what would also work to compliment my ideas. I was beyond thrilled, and blown away with how beautiful all the flowers looked! My bridesmaids’ bouquets looked so full and robust and the colors complimented the bridesmaids’ dresses perfectly! My bouquet was stunningly elegant, and John went above and beyond to make it perfect! He decorated our church with ribbons on the pews and beautiful arrangements at the altar! The reception hall flowers and centerpieces were breathtaking…absolutely stunning! When I walked into our reception I could not believe how the flowers just completely transformed the room into this elegant ambiance! John did a great job getting the look I wanted with crystal jewels draped at the top of a large vases for the centerpieces…but it didn’t just stop there; I had roses in the stems of the vases with lights that lit up the centerpieces. John also did a wonderful job decorating all the tables with rose petals: the cake table, the place card table, our head table…it was truly so beautiful! Our head table looked absolutely stunning with all the bouquets placed on it, with rose petals sprinkled though out and with floating candles with sunken red roses! John’s work truly transformed our wedding into a beautiful and elegant affair! I highly recommend booking any affair with John at A Personal Touch Florist…the name says it all…John really puts his personal touch on everything and he truly goes above and beyond!

    John and his team were great. He has so many great ideas, and the flowers are gorgeous. More than a week after my wedding my flowers are still holding up beautifully.

    We LOVE John! He was so great in helping with our vision and letting us know what would work and what wouldn't! I would tell EVERYONE to use this florist! Everything was absolutely gorgeous on our wedding day. This florist makes you feel like part of a family :) I wish we could get married all the time and use them over and over again!

    SO SO AMAZING. I had seen at least 4 florists before being referred to John. I went there not expecting much at that point, but I showed him a picture of what I wanted (a very specific centerpiece a la beauty and the beast - single rose in a dome) and he had no problem with any of the aspects in putting it together unlike every other florist I met with. My centerpieces came out better then I could have ever imagined. He added ivy up the base of the vase and my single red rose stood perfectly inside the dome. It was amazing and my favorite aspect of the wedding decorations. My family still talks about how nice they were! Would definitely recommend him to everyone.

    Picking out flowers for our wedding was something I had no interest in doing. So much in fact that I put it off until about two weeks before the wedding. You see, I know absolutely nothing about flowers. Nothing--except for what I don't like, which is basically about 90% of all flowers on the market. Impressing me was a challenge that John was more than ready to take on. John knows his stuff, knows flowers, knows what you want even if you don't know how to express it. Most importantly, he takes the time to really work with you.

    When John tells you he has it under control and "don't worry about it"--he means it and produces. Our flowers were delivered on time, our arrangements were flawless, and my bouquet was even better than I imagined. John was also able to incorporate in it: a bracelet from my soon-to-be mother in law as well as two special charms.

    Many thanks to John and the team at A Personal Touch.

    John did an amazing job for my wedding. He was easy to reach if I had any questions or issues and he was open to any and all of my ideas! He creative a beautiful autumn scene at my October reception using curly willlows, oak leaves, and dainty little yellow flowers. Not only is he a fantastic florist, but he is the nicest guy ever and a pleasure to work with!

    I was married this past July 2013 and this review is WAY overdue. John and the Personal Touch Staff did an over the top job on preparing my wedding floral designs. From the flowers and bows put out at my mom's house and the church, to the outstanding centerpieces created just right for my reception, all work was just stunning. My guests raved about my bouquet and the bridesmaid's flowers, and every little touch put into the designs for the day definitely didn't go unnoticed. John and staff, thank you for helping to make my wedding day a dream come true!

    John at A Personal Touch was amazing. He spent almost two hours on our initial visit helping me design the wedding bouquet of my dreams. He is super professional and his flowers have lasted longer than any roses I have ever had. I would highly reccomend using A Personal Touch Florist!

    I was married on March 9, 2012. Based on Nanina's reccommendation I checked out Personal Touch Florist.I worked with John the owner. He listened to every word I said. It was very important to me to keep my wedding simple yet beautiful. I did not want large exaggerated centerpieces that blocked my guests from seeing one another. All of John's suggestions were wonderful. When I showed up to the venue, it was EXACTLY what I asked for. He worked right into my theme and I was very pleased. You'd be doing yourself a favor by using Personal Touch Florist.

    John and his staff did a beautiful job on my bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, boutineers, and centerpieces for my wedding on May 21, 2011. The gerber daisies that I requested looked stunning and I received many compliments on the flowers throughout the evening. I would highly recommend!

    The owner of A Personal Touch worked with us to create some beautiful yet affordable pieces for our wedding. In the end we ordered groomsman bouquets, mothers' corsages, boutonnieres, and centerpieces from them. Every piece turned out great, and we were very happy with how easy it was to talk to the florist, put in our order, and have everything delivered on-time (in the morning) to the different locations. I'd definitely work with them again.

    Great job, slightly disappointed

    Everything looked amazing but me being a perfectionist was disappointed in my bouquet. It looks like it had grass sticking out of it - I think a different green would’ve looked better.

    The roses in my bouquet were wilting and browning.

    I also thought the willow branches in our centerpieces would have been bigger.

    However John is a pleasure to work with!!!

    A Personal Touch Florist's reply:

    Sorry you felt that your bouquet had grass sticking out of it. You wanted White pine added to the bouquet to give it a winter look. The garden roses you picked have that type of look, they were not a pure white rose. They were a creme rose. Your high to centerpieces had curly willow tips that would not tip over the arrangement. We try to please all brides, sorry.
