  Bow Street Flowers was one of the recommended vendors for our venue, and now I know why. We worked with Shelley, who is knowledgeable, creative, and kind. She quickly understood what we were looking for both in terms of palette and aesthetic and made the process easy. On the day of the wedding, Shelley and her staff arrived on time but had to wait three hours because the rentals didn't arrive until 10 minutes AFTER the ceremony was supposed to start. Shelley was calm and professional, and she and her assistant assembled a huge display of flowers on the rented birch arbor in about twenty minutes when they had planned to take two hours to do it. And it looked completely perfect and lovely! So did all the bouquets, the garlands, and the other arrangements. I HIGHLY recommend Bow Street!

  Shelley was wonderful to work with for our wedding day. She was able to take pictures and ideas I had about my floral vision and provide insight based on her own expertise and experience. All of our flowers were absolutely exquisite, including the flowers she provided for the cake. I was so in love with all of the bouquets and everything was just perfect. I will be using her for any future floral needs and absolutely recommend her as your wedding florist, particularly if you just love flowers like me. You will not be let down!

  Shelley and her team at Bow Street are just wonderful to work with. I had a very specific vision and Shelley executed it perfectly, while also providing lots of expert advice. I found their prices to be reasonable and Shelley was flexible about finding ways to reduce costs (for example, our bridal bouquets were "bridesmaid" size, which was half the price but still a generous size). When I saw our bouquets and table arrangements at the wedding, I was stunned at how beautiful they were. Seriously better than Pinterest. I can't imagine using any other florist!

  I loved working with Shelley at Bow Street Flowers; she was friendly, knowledgeable and obviously very experienced at what she does. I’m fairly certain Shelley knows off the top of her head every color and variety of garden rose on planet earth. When I first met with Shelley, I came in with some pictures and ideas and a general color palette for my flowers, but she really helped me fill out my vision and steer me in some new and exciting directions. I was so thrilled on my wedding day when I saw the beautiful arrangements she created; they exceeded even my highest expectations. On a more practical level, she was prompt with her communications, reasonably priced and more than happy to work on my intimate wedding. Oh, and did I mention her adorable bunnies? :)

  I booked Bow Street Flowers for my personal flowers sight unseen from 3,000 miles away. I did not know exactly what I wanted but Shelley totally nailed it. She had me make a pinterest page with pictures of bouquets I liked and the end result was perfect. My bouquet was gorgeous and unique and I received many compliments. I would highly recommend them.

  Called the florist to inquiry about wedding flowers- the owner met with me for our appointment, listened to what I wanted and made the most beautiful flower bouquet! Will use this place any time I need to order flowers. Easy to work with, and gorgeous designed bouquets that are not your ordinary bouquets! A true craftswoman.

  We used Shelley and Bow Street Flowers for our recent wedding at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice! When I first started thinking about what I wanted to do for the flowers, I had some very specific ideas, but I also knew I wanted to stay within a pretty strict budget. From the very first meeting Shelley was so willing to work with my ideas and within our budget. She had so many great suggestions, even helping us pick just the right color peony. As I thought more and more about my bouquet and the centerpieces, I got SO excited about them. And on the day of the wedding, they were all above and beyond perfect. My bouquet and the bridesmaids’ bouquets were just gorgeous. Full, colorful, and exactly how I wished they would look. And the centerpieces and other decorative flowers (cocktail tables, windowsills, gift/escort card tables) were beautiful as well. Several of the guests and family members took flowers home, as did I, and they lasted quite a while! I highly recommend using Bow Street Flowers for your wedding flowers!

  Most gorgeous flower arrangements that were exactly to a tee how I described ;) Shelley asked me to bring in some photos, visuals and colors that I like and she took it from there in creating beyond perfect bouquets and arrangements - highly, highly recommend. A pleasure to work with.

  I fell in love with Bow Street Flowers as soon as I walked into the shop! The store is really laid back and you're immediately greeted by the most beautiful flowers and bunnies (yes bunnies). Shelley (the owner) was a dream to work with too! She is super knowledgeable about flowers. Anything I showed her in a magazine she knew right away and if it wasn't in season for the wedding she could pick a similar looking suggestion right away. She listed to all of my requests and offered amazing suggestions without ever being pushy. If you're looking for great customer service, beautiful flowers and reasonable prices then Bow Street Flowers is the place for you! :-)

  Overpriced, but the arrangements are amazing.

  I didn't want major table or room arrangements, just bouquets and boutineers, and Shelley and her team did an amazing job designing flowers that looked exactly right for us. We wanted a blend of traditional seasonal flowers (roses), wilder flowers (ranunculus), herbs, and vegetables (ornamental kale!), and Shelley blended all of these together into an absolutely beautiful bouquet. Their shop is beautiful and inspiring and you will come out with a truly one of a kind arrangement.

  From the moment I met with Shelley in the store, she totally got my aesthetic and was super gushy about my details and dress which made me feel great. She had great ideas about keeping costs down and I think knows every flower and green that exists. We only ordered a few items (bouquet, boutonniere, wrist corsage, two big arrangements) but they were all well executed. My bouquet was completely perfect. Doesn’t every bride wonder if it will be what she hoped for and Shelley completely nailed it. The most dreamy peonies I’ve ever seen! I honestly had separation anxiety from my bouquet when we left for the airport on Monday morning! There were a couple snafus on day of but Shelley was super professional and made it right. I’m so glad I found Shelley at Bow Street.

  Ceremony flowers and centerpieces were beautiful. Bouquets were not exactly what I had pictured and smaller than I expected. Also, they forgot to bring my flower girl's flowers. They went back to the shop to pick them up, but didn't deliver them directly to me, left them at the concierge who never got them to me.
