    Stunning wedding flowers!

    Free Spirit Floral was one of the best decisions we made for our daughter's wedding. Mary Beth was a pleasure to work with! We had a very detailed meeting about our vision, and Mary Beth delivered exactly that and more. The bouquets and centerpieces were absolutely stunning! We couldn't have been happier! Such a stress free experience!

    Beautiful Touch

    Mary Beth was wonderful from the start, we initially planned for our wedding in May but because of COVID we had to reschedule to a later date. She was accommodating to our change and helped select beautiful arrangements that were stunning. We ordered all of our flowers from her and were impressed with every detail. The Day Of delivery was better than expected with Mary Beth personally delivering the flowers to the bridal suite. We would highly recommend Free Spirit Floral.

    Free Spirit Floral's reply:

    Thank you so very much, Gabriela! I'm pleased that you were happy with everything we provided. We'd love to see pictures if you are willing to share!

    Beautiful Bouquets, Great Experience

    I called MaryBeth about a month before my wedding when the initial vendor I planned to use went radio silent. At our initial appointment, I was immediately put at ease by her friendly, professional manner. She listened to my vague ideas and made recommendations accordingly, and I was more than pleased with the results. The price was reasonable and she even threw in a bonus arrangement on the day of the wedding. Would definitely recommend!

    The most beautiful arrangements I've ever seen!

    Mary Beth was an absolute joy to work with. She was so friendly and extremely helpful. She really listened to what my vision was for the wedding, and even though I was not super familiar with flowers, she helped guide me with the right questions. She provided me with a variety of options to choose from and created the most beautiful arrangements I have ever seen. Absolutely everyone commented on my bouquet, the wreath she made, and the bridesmaid bouquets. She did an exquisite job and I couldn't recommend Free Spirit Floral's more! Thank you Mary Beth!

    I am so happy we went with Mary Beth for our wedding flowers. I interviewed several florists and immediately liked her vibe and creativity, even just over the phone. Her proposals were very well thought out and she went through several drafts to make sure that we were on the same page about the aesthetic and budget. And the day of the bouquets and arrangements were GORGEOUS! I got so many compliments on them. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

    Mary Beth was wonderful to work with to plan flowers for our summer wedding at Lincoln's Cottage. Having never planned florals, I had a million questions. She was very patient and helpful throughout! After receiving my first proposal, I asked to switch up some flowers, and she had wonderful suggestions about what would be most appropriate given the DC heat and my aesthetic. I was beyond happy on my wedding day to see that the bouquets were exactly what I had envisioned. They looked amazing in our photos. Highly recommended all around!

    Mary Beth and her team at Free Spirit Floral are absolutely fantastic! After reading several reviews, I chose Mary Beth. We met and discussed my vision for the wedding. She was charming, professional and responsive. Upon receiving my proposal- I discovered that Mary Beth had perfectly envisioned my dream wedding. Mary Beth worked closely with me on every little detail and was flexible and kind when there were some last minute changes. On the day of the wedding when my bouquets arrived- I was blown away! It was beautiful. When we arrived at the venue and I saw my dream in real life I was thrilled! I highly recommend Free Spirit Floral for your wedding or any event. Lovely, thoughtful, personalized and affordable. Absolutely wonderful!

    We love love love to work with Free Spirit Floral! Mary Beth has an incredible eye for making bouquets and arrangements that last and are stunningly beautiful.

    She's great at listening to her clients--for instance, my husband's favorite band is Pink Floyd and our wedding colors were fuchsia and navy. Mary Beth immediately thought of using bright Pink Floyd roses throughout our bouquets and arrangements. It was really the perfect touch.

    Whenever I work with Mary Beth (and I have for a number of other events), I always feel like I am her most important customer. That's such a pleasure. Her prices are more than fair, delivery is always on time, and set up perfect.

    Mary Beth was amazing to work with! She did the flowers for our wedding on 10/25/14 and was recommended to use from the Carlyle Club (venue in Alexandria, VA). Mary Beth was organized and came to our first meeting with so many good ideas. She's perfect for a bride like me that knew some basic colors that I wanted but was very open to ideas and flower types. I was on a budget and Mary Beth was very upfront with costs and ways to trim costs. All in all I couldn't have picked a better florist and am so happy with Mary Beth's efforts.

    We recently got married at Eastern Market in Washington, DC. I wanted to keep with the farmers’ market feel and utilize the wonderful colors and textures of fall throughout. Mary Beth read my mind – from the smallest of details to the grand centerpieces – she captured exactly what I wanted.

    When I walked into the reception hall for the first time – I was so overjoyed! It was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. The flowers were so rich in color; the arrangements so well balanced and put together. She also utilized wheat stems, pumpkins, gourdes, apples, cotton stems, etc. to really add in the feel of fall and being at a farmers’ market.

    We met in person several times to talk through the ceremony and reception layouts, and pull together the theme. She was very prompt in responding to my many questions by phone and email as well. Every time we spoke, I felt like I was her number one priority and that she was truly invested in making my wedding as fabulous as possible.

    Beyond her incredible talent, she was mindful of costs and helped advise me on which flowers would be in season and more economical. She helped me determine what was worth the splurge and what was an unnecessary expense. She also found ways to utilize arrangements during the ceremony and then re-position them for the reception.

    The day after our wedding, we took the flowers to our offices for our colleagues to enjoy. They were still beautiful when we returned from our honeymoon a week later!

    For any event, with great confidence I strongly recommend Mary Beth and Free Spirit Floral.

    I had my wedding at the Carlyle Club and Sharon the women I was working with suggested I use Free Spirit Floral. I had worked with other florists before but thought I would meet with Mary Beth to see if Free Spirit Floral would work. Well, the first time I sat down and talked with Mary Beth I knew she would be the only florist that I would ever use again. She was so knowledgeable and listened to everything that I wanted. She was extremely reasonable as far as pricing and stayed in touch with me the whole wedding process making it very easy. She was very straight forward with all the pricing and suggested some beautiful flowers that would not cost as much but looked just as nice, which I actually liked better than the expensive ones. She was able to make my ceremony space and reception space so beautiful it was around Cherry Blossom season so she constructed some beautiful cherry blossom trees as decoration. I will from now on only be using Free Spirit Floral. Some of my guests even requested her information because they enjoyed the flowers so much.

    Here is the letter I wrote the owner:


    October 20, 2013

    Dear Mary Beth,

    I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am for what you did for my special day. When I arrived at the carlyle club and saw the beautiful set-up you did on the stage and the gorgeous arrangements going down the aisle my breath was taken away. It was more perfect than I could have imagined.

    I think back to when we met in February and how you made the entire process so easy for me. I had no idea what I really wanted and was honestly quite lost and overwhelmed by needing to plan a wedding and you stepped in took so much of the stress away.

    I appreciate you showing me the many ways I could save money and giving me so many options that worked perfectly for both me and Eli.

    We look forward to many more years of using Free Spirit Flowers. You are the number one person we will recommend to anyone in need of a florist.

    Truly amazing.

    With much appreciation and love,
    Martha

    I worked with Mary Beth of Free Spirit Floral and LOVED the results at my wedding. I got so many compliments about the flowers and they also photographed beautifully.

    Mary Beth first met with me one on one to discuss what I was looking for and then prepared an extensive description of our discussion and a quote. She met again with me and my mother at our venue and stayed with us for a few hours discussing possibilities. Mary Beth really helped me narrow in on what I actually wanted (I didn't have a good idea other than the colors) and then provide me with gorgeous options within my budget.

    About 1 month before the wedding, Mary Beth created a "prototype" bridal bouquet based on our previous planning, and we discussed every particular from the specific flowers to the size of the bouquet to the complementary bridal party flowers. The prototype wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it really helped to have it as a reference to get the final bouquet exactly right.

    I still get little goosebumps looking back at the wedding photos of the flowers and couldn't be happier to recommend Mary Beth and Free Spirit Floral.

    Can't say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Mary Beth and her team. She was my florist for my May 2012 wedding and is truly is a talented florist . She met with me multiple times to talk through how I envisioned my wedding and worked to modify the floral proposal to reflect my desires and budget. She truly made my wedding beautiful and unforgettable. Can't recommend her highly enough!

    Mary Beth, the owner of Free Spirit Floral, was recommended to me by a friend of a friend, about 9 months before she officially started her business. I do not have the words to thank her or praise her enough. She did the flowers for our reception and ceremony, and they were FLAWLESS. She even reworked her estimate for me when we had a last minute budget crunch. The flowers were beautiful -exactly what I had imagined, only better. Mary Beth incorporated my ideas into her arrangements and they were spectacular. I had more compliments than I could handle. Plus, Mary Beth is a wonderful person, in addition to being a wonderful florist. She is just a ray of sunshine. I am so excited for Free Spirit Floral to take off, and highly recommend her to every bride in the area!

    We were very delighted with Free Spirit Floral!! Mary Beth is a kind, personable and knowledgeable florist and clearly loves what she does! She was VERY flexible and patient with me as I changed my mind several times about about some of the orders of flowers and I sent her multiple emails with questions! We didn't have a lot of floral arrangements but what we did have captured perfectly the simple elegant theme we were going for. The centerpieces were probably my favorite!! Subtle but gorgeous arrangements of orange tulips and lilies with accents of teal ribbon were exactly what I envisioned and they popped just enough to be noticeable but blended into the already perfect and elegant settting at Oxon Hill Manor. Thank you Mary Beth and team for your service and for helping to add touches of beauty to such a perfect day!
