  Perfect, a dream.

  There is no one else. Maureen is the only florist. She made every single dream come alive. When it comes to flowers she is the queen.

  Amazingly beautiful flowers!

  Maureen is a flower master! The flowers at our wedding transformed the space into a winter wonderland. Maureen had an idea of what I wanted and I gave her creative freedom to use whatever flowers she wanted to make our winter wedding dreams come true. She used a combination of tall and short centerpieces with fairy lights to create a romantic feeling throughout the room. The flowers included red, ivory, and champagne roses, cranberries, blueberries, and winter greenery. Everything was gorgeous.

  Beautiful flowers....Easy to work with.

  Flowers were gorgeous. My bridal bouquet had rhinestone pins in the flowers and on the handle. My girls had a smaller version of my bouquet. They were all white/off white flowers. Simply elegant!!!

  Best place by far!

  Go to Maureens before deciding on somewhere else. She has the best Flowers and the best price by far! We saved a lot with her. The flowers and delivery were perfect.

  Great Quality, Beautiful Flowers

  Maureen’s was easy to work with and helped create exactly what I was searching for in my pinterest board.
  They deliver for you and you can bring specific items to them for them to work with (vases, ribbons).
  Affordable and such great quality.

  The only florist you should use!

  Maureen’s was by far the best decision I made for my wedding. They were so reasonably priced and did everything I wanted and more! They delivered my flowers to so many places including the bakery, the church, the venue and to the place that I was getting ready at. I also rented vases from them! They created the most beautiful flower arrangements that I have ever seen!! Everything was perfect. I don’t think there’s anywhere else that anyone should go in the buffalo area!!!

  Quality Florals!

  My father's girlfriend, Rose ordered our flowers from Maureen's for us and was able to put together beautiful arrangements with the florals they have available! We got so many compliments on how incredible the flowers looked thanks to them for providing such wonderful pieces for Rose to have to work with!

  Beautiful flowers at an amazing value

  We used Maureen's for our 8/9/19 wedding. My wife and I only had our wedding colors picked, with no idea what flowers and colors would nicely compliment. During our initial meeting, we gave a vague description of those colors and our wedding event style to the florist, and she came back with the PERFECT bouquet. It was unbelievable. We even got to keep that bouquet as a free gift! The flowers on the wedding day were just as beautiful. All the bouquets and arrangements looked perfect and we couldn't have asked for more! The greenery on the centerpieces came out great as well. They even decorated a fireplace mantle and some side tables with greenery. All of that came at a reasonable price. We would definitely recommend Maureen's to anyone looking for a florist!

  No one better in Buffalo

  Simply put: Maureen and her team nailed my floral vision. I was (and still am) completely obsessed with my bouquets. Prior to our consultation I was nervous because I know less than nothing about flowers but I showed Maureen one picture and she started scribbling away different notes and her ideas to deliver my vision without breaking the bank. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else in the area because Maureen’s is the #1 option for wedding florals.

  Maureen was a pleasure and my flowers were incredible

  All of my ladies were surprised at the value and quality of our bouquets! My husband loved the smell of roses everywhere and the flowers made the ceremony that much more incredible.

  Roses and peonies and ivy ohmy!

  For the amount of bouquets, dozens of centerpieces, and extensive decor, Maureen’s was the perfect choice. They didn’t try to up-sell us at any point during our meetings, and we’re aware of our budget. They even made multiple drop offs to ensure that every floral piece went to its proper location without last-second stressing on the bridal party’s part. Truly beautiful arrangements that all of the guests nabbed as their own at the end of the night.

  The only place to look for flowers!

  From start to end, Maureen's exceeded my expectations. I told Maureen that I didn't want a lot of flowers, but lots of greenery and even some herbs. Her vision was exactly what I pictured in my head. I had a backdrop of greenery at the church, gorgeous flowers for the women and even a garland at the venue. I could not have been happier with her final products. I will only use Maureen for any event I have in the future. Thank you!

  My dream flowers!

  I had a great experience using Maureen’s for my wedding flowers. She means business, but she is so great at it. First of all, the building they work out of is awesome. It’s an old building with buckets of flowers everywhere and centerpieces and props stacked against the walls. Every time I visited it was bustling with workers. It felt like a flower shop you’d see on TV. I showed Maureen pictures of bouquets I liked and she rattled off exactly what flowers were in them- totally impressive and something only someone who’s been doing this for quite some time would be able to do. She had ideas for my centerpieces that I didn’t think of that I loved. I had seen wedding flowers done by her before, so I was so anxious to see them on my wedding day. Our bouquets (1 bride and 10 bridesmaids) arrived in perfect condition- beautiful and HUGE! They were exactly what I wanted. The flowers for the centerpieces were even better. They set the tone for our venue space and to say that I was at a loss for words when I saw them is not an exaggeration. I highly recommend Maureen’s- I think she is without a doubt the best in the business in western New York!

  Absolutely stunning

  Maureen was extremely helpful from the moment I walked into her shop for my first meeting. I knew exactly what I was looking for and Maureen made it come to life. She was SO great to work with and left me with virtually nothing to worry about. They delivered the flowers to the hotel, church, and reception leaving me with nothing to worry about!
  
  I provided photos of what I was looking for and I just could not believe how she made the images come to life. When I received my bouquet and the bridesmaid bouquets the morning of the wedding, I was speechless. The floral centerpieces we like nothing I have every seen before and we received so many compliments. It truly took my breath away to see everything come together and my vision come to life.
  I cannot thank Maureen and her team enough for making my vision come true. Their work is second to none.

  Beautiful Bouquets

  I knew exactly what I wanted our wedding flowers to look like, and Maureen’s made them come to life perfectly. They also brought the flowers to our venue and decorated our pews with them - which made one less thing for us to do on a very busy day. We loved the final results and wouldn’t change a thing about the flowers or the service we received from Maureen’s.

  Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.

  Maureen's absolutely crushed it when it came to my wedding flowers and centerpieces. I pretty much showed Maureen a picture from Pinterest that I liked, told her a few flowers that had to be included, and away she went. She even gave me a small bouquet of the flowers after our initial meeting to showcase where her thought process was for my bouquet. She was very flexible with what I wanted (even when I changed my mind twice...) and my flowers were delivered earlier than the time they gave me. I got so many compliments on how gorgeous all the flowers were and I couldn't have been happier. I would absolutely recommend them a million times over.

  LOVED my wedding flowers!

  Maureen's does an absolutely amazing job! I could not have been happier with the flowers for my wedding! We were able to meet with Maureen in person to discuss an idea of what we wanted and left the rest of to her! I only provided them with a little direction on what I wanted (mostly just our color scheme) because I knew they would do an amazing job selecting the appropriate flowers and style to match our event! Could not have been happier and would highly recommend Maureen's to anyone looking for beautiful wedding flowers!

  Maureen's does an absolutely amazing job! I could not have been happier with the flowers for my wedding! We were able to meet with Maureen in person to discuss an idea of what we wanted and left the rest of to her!
