    Fantastic florist

    Tracy is awesome! My bouquet was exactly as I requested, complete with lots of ferns and freesias! Blackeyed Susan Florist will arrange the most beautiful bouquets with the best flowers.

    We used Black Eyed Susan florist for our June 2017 wedding and the flowers were absolutely fantastic! We met with the team in March and Yola helped me design everything from scratch. Not being great at knowing flower names or styles, she was extremely helpful in suggesting some different flowers that she thought would go together nicely in my color scheme, as well as showed me some examples to pick and choose from. In the end, I was happy for her to have my basic idea and then let her creativity take over... and it did! The flowers - an arrangement of blues, greens, purples, and ivory were beautiful! The bridal bouquet as well as the bridesmaids bouquets were thick and full. We didn't have flower decorations as we really only went with the bouquets and boutonnieres... but we were very pleased with those! They also delivered to our wedding site so we didn't have to have any stress on the day of.

    Black Eyed Susan did our flowers for our wedding.. and WOW. The team went above and beyond for our wedding expectations. I went into this appointment nervous because I really knew nothing about flowers. Yola and her team showed me flowers and told me not to worry about a thing and that they knew they would make my day beautiful. And that is exactly what they did. I could not recommend them enough to people! Our table arrangements are still beautiful and growing right now!!!!

    The Black Eyed Susan Team took care of the flowers for my Annapolis wedding reception and they were fantastic! Since we were also hosting a Destination wedding, I had a budget for my flowers and I had to be strict.....Jola and Tracey worked with me to create magic and beauty that stayed on budget and brought me to tears when I walked into my reception and saw what Jola had created! Our personal flowers were fabulous too....classic, elegant, fragrant. I really can't say enough about this shop. My husband gets all his flowers there for our special occasions, and the arrangements are fresh, perfect and long-lasting every time. Use Black Eyed Susan for your wedding, it will be your best investment!

    Tracy and Jola were amazing. Very helpful and patient with my Mom and I sending tons of emails. Jola was able to take my fuzzy vision and turn them into tangible works of art. I am in love with my flowers and am so glad that I used them. Highly recommend.

    I heard about Black Eyed Susan Florist from a family member of mine. They had done her wedding and the flowers for her wedding were gorgeous.We decided to set up a time to meet with them.

    I have no knowledge about flowers. I have no idea what's in season, how much everything costs and what goes together. I know I was probably hard to work with as I had no idea what I wanted. The staff was amazing and really helped us figure out what we wanted. The flowers were delivered on time and they looked amazing! We were extremely happy with how they turned out and I am currently preserving my bouquet so that I can have it to look at anytime.

    We used Black Eyed Susan for our January 2014 wedding, and I could not be happier with them! Jola was an absolute delight to work with. She thought about every detail, and the flowers were gorgeous! They were also very flexible when I changed my mind about things. I appreciated Jola's caring and comforting nature, and I knew I didn't have to stress about the flowers. I would recommend Black Eyed Susan to everyone!

    Jola and Tracy were the most amazing people to work with, they were so accomodating to me with all the changes I kept making throughout the flower choices, and they really made me feel like I was one of their own children. Their work is beyond beautiful and they really took the extra step to make sure I got just what I had envisioned. When they arrived on my wedding day, I was blown away by the flowers and all the guests as well as our photographer, she loved the colors and textures of all the different flowers. I still go visit the shop to see how they are doing!

    Tracy and Yola were so nice to work with. They had worked at our venue many times and were very helpful in determining what we needed. They were flexible, creative, and easy to work with which was wonderful especially since I was planning from several states away. And of course, the flowers were absolutely beautiful!

    I absolutely loved my florist. I met with her on two occasions before the wedding to work out what type of flowers we wanted. The first time, I really had no idea what to get but they helped me come up with a plan. The second meeting, I KNEW what I wanted and changed everything--- they were extremely accommodating and let me change the flowers up until the last minute. They were affordable and friendly, and really worked in my budget. The flowers came out exactly as I had hoped, and were unique! Instead of traditional flowers, my bridesmaids all carried carnation and rose kissing balls-- it was perfect!

    The flowers that Black Eyed Susan provided me for my wedding were absolutely wonderful! They were exactly what I had pictured for my wedding and they came out beautifully! They arrived at my hotel exactly when I was told to expect them. I found all the staff to be professional and easy to work with. I would defiantly recommend them.

    Black Eyed Susan did an amazing job for my daughter's wedding at the Kent Manor Inn on June 24, 2011. The service was great, the flowers were exactly what we wanted and they were all carefully created and absolutely beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
    They worked within our budget and delivered a grand slam !
    Thanks for making Lizzie's day one to remember!

    I worked with Julie Black and her staff for my wedding and her staff provided the best arrangements for my wedding I couldn't have asked for. Sadly, Julie passed away just about 6 weeks before my wedding. Julie was not only a great friend but a great florist. Her husband Rob and Daughter Susie delivered my flowers to my ceremony site. I couldn't have asked for a better moment, when I saw the flowers and thought of Julie. She was watching. I was a beautiful tribute to Julie. She trained her staff so well. Black Eyed Susan is fantastic, Julie would be so proud!

    Black Eyed Susan did an amazing job with our wedding day flower arrangements. The woman with whom we met did a wonderful job helping us to select bouquets which fit with our wedding colors and budget. They were all beautifully delivered in the correct quantities to the appropriate locations the day of the wedding. We very much appreciated their last-minute flexibility, as we added several new arrangements the week of the wedding and made alterations to several corsages. Thank you for adding beauty to our big day : )

    After our initial meeting with Julie, I knew our flowers were going to be amazing. When I walked out and saw the bouquets, I was speechless. The flowers were more radiant and beautiful than I could have imagine. I would recommend meeting with them for any event. They were also extremely flexible by working within your needs and ensuring you are 100% happy with what you are getting.

    I worked with Julie for my wedding this past weekend! She was extremely accommodating and easy to work with! She understood exactly what I was looking for and provided some suggestions but never tried to change my style! I recently had a conversation with several girlfriends and they said they were surprised when they saw their flowers for their wedding because while they were still beautiful they were nothing like they had envisioned...not the case with Julie. When I saw my flowers they were EXACTLY what I had envisioned and absolutely PERFECT! Krista

    Black Eyed Susan was fantastic. They have great suggestions on how to create the feel that you want at your wedding. They have great rental items too (the pedestals to hold my flowers during my ceremony). Great value and customer service. I added flower arrangements 2 weeks before my wedding and they were super flexible. Julie is a pleasure to deal with.

    Julie Black with Black Eyed Susan brought my vision to life. The centerpieces, the bouquets, the ceremony arch, and the boutonni�res/corsages were all absolutely perfect. She has lots of energy and creative ideas that help with the planning process. She is incredibly sweet and genuine and I could not have had a better floral experience. The flowers made our pictures even more beautiful and the finished product far exceeded my expectations. Thanks for everything Julie!

    Wedding 9/26/09

    About 9 years ago my mother had heart surgery. She received so many flower arrangements, yet one stood out as beautiful. It was from black eyed susan. We though it must have cost a fortune. But no, we realized after pricing that other dinky old fashioned looking arrangements and the beautiful one she received were evenly priced-amazing.

    A few years later my friend got married and used Black Eyed Susan and her flowers were outstanding.

    Throughout the years, we received arrangements for various occasions and could tell before looking at the card which were from black eyed susan. Even at a funeral, we were able to pick out the black eyed susan arrangements.

    This company, (I worked with Marsha and the owner Julie-who does the actual arrangements!) is easy to work with and provides a modern take on traditional flowers with out being "kooky". They provided my wedding flowers to the exact "t" and many arrangements were far better than I had even imagined or described! They also lasted for more than a week after the wedding.

    They go through every arrangement that you want and draw it up for you (a sketch) and show you different flowers bunched together etc. They also write down every detail of what you say you want and repeat it back and offer suggestions and the consultation is free!

    The price quote came quickly and they only require a small deposit, not 50%!

    I made several, and I mean several changes to my order throughout the process and they were always accommodating and I still got exactly what I wanted!

    We received so many compliments on our flowers and the cake topper they made was gorgeous. The addition of crystal pins to my bouquet, the centerpieces and cake topper was gorgeous and classy not "blingy-tacky". They even made non-traditional pieces such as a large vase filled with pears and hydrangea on top. It was much larger and more stunning than I though it would be! And the sticks/bells of ireland and orchids for the place card table was awesome and towering. They will alter any arrangement you describe to fit your budget. You will receive an itemized proposal so you know exactly what you can add to or cut based on your budget. This place is amazing.

    I will never use any florist besides Black eyed susan for anything!!!

    Julie and her team really did a great job. I really wanted natural looking wildflowers, and that is not the norm, and many florists I spoke to had their own ideas/designs they typically followed. It was frustrating. Julie was creative, and did exactly what I wanted. She was easy to work with, responsive, on-time and met my budget. It was a great experience, and I will be ordering more flowers from her shop.
