Best florist ever!! Highlight of my wedding!

Sam is the BEST! We loved working with him from the beginning to the end. He has such a fun personality and was very easy to work with. We loved going in for our floral appointments! He educated us in areas we didn’t know much about to help us make the best decisions for our vision, and I was so thankful for that knowledge. We had to move our wedding date due to COVID and he was extremely easy to work with and easily accommodated our new date. The flowers for both the rehearsal dinner and wedding day were beautiful. He even did our flowers for our engagement party, and they were just as gorgeous! One of my favorite moments of the whole day was coming to see my wedding arbor because it surpassed my wildest dreams! I had shown him a photo from Pinterest for inspiration and it turned out 100x better than the pin (which never happens)! Our bouquets and centerpieces were gorgeous as well, and we received so many compliments on our wedding flowers. The florals really transformed the space and turned it into my dream wedding. Another reason to go with Sam is his DECOR CLOSETS!! He has so many beautiful wedding items downstairs you are able to choose from and we will have them delivered to you free on the wedding day! They were gorgeous and saved us a lot of money on decor that we would purchase or rent to use once. You can tell he loves his clients and what he does. I can’t recommend him enough!

Outstanding work!!

My husband and I got married at Castleton Farms in Loudon Tennessee. I was kind of wishy washy with the color scheme and florals. Sam literally blew it out of the park with his design and attention to detail. Truly amazing at what he does.

Hall/Mitchell Wedding: Blaire and Kyle’s wedding weekend was just spectacular! Your fabulous florals and decor made both Sequoyah Presbyterian Church and The Mill and Mine absolutely breathtaking. We all were in awe as we stepped into the church and then the reception venue. It was like we were in a floral wonderland.

Thank you for making Blaire’s wedding vision come true. Every single detail was executed perfectly and it truly was above and beyond anything we could have imagined. The head table was the most gorgeous creation we have ever seen! Our guests were extending compliments throughout the evening as they kept discovering all of the stunning decor elements throughout the venue. We are anxiously awaiting the pictures and hope they capture the beauty of it all.

You have been such a joy to work with. Bob and I always looked forward to conversations and meetings with you. You made the entire planning process so smooth and easy.

Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. You designed the most exquisite event ever and gave Blaire and Kyle the wedding of their dreams.

Forever grateful,
Kathy and Bob Hall

The flowers Sam and his team provided for my daughter’s wedding were outstanding! We wanted festive, colorful bouquets and arrangements for our outdoor celebration and they delivered! With a white tent and basic white linens and the least expensive white rental chairs, we saved money because the fabulous flowers and Mother Nature provided all the decoration we needed. We also used the bridesmaids bouquets on the tables after the ceremony. I can’t count how many people told me they were the most beautiful wedding flowers they had ever seen.
With a couple of Pinterest photos, one face-to-face meeting and a few emails, this was one of the easiest parts of planning the wedding! Bravo Samuel Franklin’s Floral and Home!!

Sam was amazing to work with! I used to work in the catering business and I've known for a long time that when I got married that I would be using Sam. My guests and I were blown away by his work. He's great at what he does and he doesn't oversell you on things you don't need

If you want an amazing florist for your wedding then Samule Franklin is the way to go. They went out of their way to make sure that everything looked exactly how we invisioned it. They also came up with unique ideas that we would have never thought of. They even came out and set up everything. You can't go wrong with Samule Franklin.

I would absolutely recommend Sam Franklin and his team to anyone looking for gorgeous floral design and wedding decor. All of the flowers, decor, and design that Sam and his team put together for our wedding were drop-dead gorgeous!

Sam met with us for the first time to get a feel for the design and services we wanted from him and was very quick to get a quote to us. His quote included the top end of everything we could possibly want so that we wouldn't be blindsided by added expenses later. When we met with him again, he helped us pick and choose exactly what we wanted and helped us navigate and stay within our budget. For example, when I unknowingly pointed at a flower that would be super expensive during the summer, Sam recommended a similar looking, but less expensive flower. He'll make sure your wedding is beautiful, no matter your budget.

Sam and his team did my bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets (that were re-used as centerpieces), corsages, boutonnieres, and centerpieces for our reception. We also rented decor from him, like hurricane candles and candelabras to decorate our ceremony. His team not only set up their own flowers and decor, but also incorporated the decor I had bought for the event.

Not only was the end result beautiful, Sam and his staff were so kind and easy to work with. People like them make the process of planning our wedding a pleasant and fun experience, and there was nothing more magical than walking into the Standard and seeing our visions come to life!

Samuel Franklin Floral Design has the reputation in the East Tennessee area of creative, unique and breathtaking floral designs. After using the services of Samuel Franklin for my daughter's wedding, I understand why this reputation has been earned and it is well-deserved. The owner of the business listened to my daughter's vision for her wedding and ceremony and made excellent suggestions. It was also appreciated that alternate (less expensive) options were outlined. We felt no pressure and felt comfortable dealing with this business. After the wedding, we have had many compliments about the beautiful arrangements and decor. We were highly satisfied and we will use this vendor again in the future.

Sam did an amazing job on the ceremony and reception decor for our wedding. The bouquets were perfect, the colors were bright. I loved my bouquet. My sister surprised me by making a memorial charm with my mother's picture on it. She shipped it to Sam and he added it to my bouquet. I was emotional and overwhelmed with happiness when Darla handed me my bouquet. Sam was flexible and really worked to accommodate my fiance's flower allergy. We did not have any real flowers at our reception. Instead, Sam used ostrich feathers that really made the room elegant. I highly recommend that you stop in Sam's store when in Clinton, TN. It's the cutest, most unique store I've ever seen. Nice holiday decor for every budget. Thank you Sam for making our wedding so special.

Samuel was so helpful when picking out the flowers for my son & daughter in laws wedding. She told him exactly what she was looking for and the colors she wanted. When the flowers came in the color was deeper than she had originally wanted and Samuel was willing to go to any lengths to make her happy. The flowers turned out beautifully! I would highly recommend Samuel.

Sam and his staff took the ideas we had for our wedding flowers and centerpieces and made them come to life! We had SO many compliments on the gorgeous trees that Sam created to line the aisle at our ceremony venue. The unique table centerpieces were also a frequent topic of conversation at the reception! The bouquets created for the bridesmaids and the bride were GORGEOUS! We just can't say enough about Sam and his staff....they are simply the best! We are truly blessed that Samuel Franklin Florist played such a wonderful role in our special day!

To say that Samuel Franklin did just "flowers" is a big understatement! We had a Halloween themed wedding celebration, and Samuel's vision, with a spooky forest, huge spiders, creepy forest creatures, cobwebs, a foggy bridge and fabulous table centerpieces and lighting made the event breathtaking. We know he is in great demand for the "traditional" weddings, and we felt so lucky to be able to have him involved in the creative vision for our "different" party!

We didn't meet Sam while looking for a florist, but we essentially hired him on the spot. We were blown away by the shop and his staff and their readily apparent deep love for their craft. They work with you to develop your vision for flowers, and have a huge supply of vintage props and vases that you can use to decorate your site for nominal fees.

Sherri and Sam worked with us to keep us in our budget, and provided absolutely gorgeous flowers for the ceremony and reception. By also working with Random Acts of Flowers, we were sure that the flowers get recycled into the community and this was a nice plus. I would highly recommend them for any of their services.

Beautiful beautiful flowers. I got so many complements and the quality was wonderful. Everything with Sam was stressfree, they took care of every hiccups (my anemones were not up to par and came in looking terrible, so they replaced them with other flowers I didn't even miss them). I wish they were closer to Knoxville but soooo WORTH the drive up to Clinton.

They are simply the best! They made all of my boquets, alter flower arrangements, an additional spray in memory of my parents, wreaths for the front doors of the church, the top of my wedding cake and my table arrangements for my reception. Everything was perfect. I asked for traditional English country flowers. They were so reasonable! I have kept the silk wreaths and have then hanging in my house. After I had ordered my flowers, my dresses came in a different color than I was expecting...Sherri (the designer), assured me that the flowers would coordinate with one change in rose color. She was 100% right. They were stunning!

Sam and his team have a true gift for creating beautiful flower designs. My bridal bouquet was the most beautiful bouquet that I had ever seen! All of the flowers were stunning! I especially loved all of the special details put in the reception flowers. Sam and his team were able to take my ideas and make them come true better than I could have imagined. Sam and his team were extremely professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend them to any bride-to-be!

Sam was a blast to work with! Our wedding was mainly peacock feathers, with blues and greens. When we told him our colors, he got so excited! He just took off talking and designing. He even had stuffed peacocks to put in the Carriage House for us! He seemed to really care about us and our wedding day. Our flowers were beautiful. He did all of the decorations for our ceremony and reception, and it couldn't have looked any better! I would reccommend Sam to any bride. I just wish we lived closer, so we could use his shop for all of our flower needs!

All I knew about the flowers I wanted for the wedding was that they had to be Yellow! Many florists that I met with offered no ideas and just kept asking me exactly what I wanted...which I didn't know! Then I met Sam...he had the most amazing suggestions and was so easy to work with! I was super impressed. He was the only florist that took me into the cooler to show me the ideas and kinds of flowers he was talking about. I didn't have to worry about a thing as far as the decorations went, because I just knew Sam would do a great job. Turns out, the flowers were even more beautiful than I expected!!! I would highly recommend Sam Franklin to any bride. He has so much knowledge and talent!

I can't say enough about my flowers. My two primary flowers were pale pink and white anemomes which were being imported from Italy. After the Iceland volcano grounded my flowers Sam went above and beyond to find another distributor and was able to at least have the white anemomes all replaced by a California grower. Pale pink is unfortunately only grown in Italy so we did have to pull in some darker pinks, but everything still was true to my original vision and gorgeous.

Sam did our daughter's wedding held at Club LeConte. Sam worked very closely with us and came up with wonderful suggestions and the arrangements worked perfectly. From the bridal bouquet to the table centerpieces all was perfect and beautiful. Sam even provided extras for no extra cost. Absolutely wonderful to work with. Can't praise him enough.

Samuel Franklin was our florist and I was very pleased with the bouquets and centerpieces. More than anything, I wanted yellow roses to be the focus for our bouqets and centerpieces and I was so happy that Samuel Franklin had designed the floral arrangements exactly how I wanted them. I received lots of praise from my wedding party and guests as well. My flowers were perfect thanks to Samuel Franklin!

Sam was really great to work with and really made time to meet with us. We didn’t feel rushed and felt like Sam really listened to what we were looking for. He made us feel special throughout the whole process even though we had a pretty low budget for our flowers for the wedding. The flowers on the day of our wedding were gorgeous and we would definitely recommend Sam to anyone looking for a florist. If you get a chance, visit his shop too - it's wonderful!

When I started looking for flowers I had a specific kind in mind. When my mom went to Samuel Franklin's to get a quote, the flowers were well over $1000 dollars, which was way out of our budget. We said no thanks, but they called us back with new ideas and they ended up cutting the the cost by half! That made my mom happy, so we went with them and the flowers were absolutely gorgeous. They are a little pricey at first, but talk to them and they will find something that works for you in your budget!

One word ... Amazing! If you are getting married around Knoxville you must use Sam! Our flowers were out of this world. It was perfect and exactly as we envisioned. My bouquet was the best I have seen in a long time and our centerpieces were gorgeous!

The only thing I was not disappointed with was my bouquet, and honestly, it was all peonies, so not hard to get right. There were flowers and colors incorporated that I did not want, things were smaller than I would have liked, bouts and corsages were just eh, the table numbering items were not delivered, and the kicker was that it was so expensive. I was disappointed. They do not have email, so contacting them was very difficult through the planning phase.
