    Felicia was great! From the beginning, our consultation was wonderful--she took us to the warehouse to basically pick out the types of flowers we liked to get a feel for our taste. I also brought her a couple photos of things that stood out to me. Her passion for floral was evident right away, and she really cared about understanding my taste. We had to unexpectedly move up the date of our wedding and drastically downsize, and she was very flexible in allowing me a way to keep flowers in this new budget. Flowers were outstanding--much more gorgeous than I could've expected, and they lasted the whole night! Would highly recommend.

    Felicia is amazing and knows exactly how to make your vision become a reality! My bouquets, and centerpieces were STUNNING all thanks to her. She is the best florist that I have met with (and i met with 8). Felicia made sure that everything was set up beautifully and she kept coming up and checking and making sure i was happy. She exceeded ALL of my expectations. I would highly recommend her to ANYONE!

    I worked with Felicia, the owner and manager, for my October wedding. She was so nice and easy to work with. Felicia is more than flexible when it came to getting what I wanted in my set budget. The price for flowers and centerpieces were ridiculous at every other place I looked at. By far the best pricing around. Felicia has a lot of good ideas and helped me out a lot. She sets up the hall herself and delivers the flowers herself so you know everything is going to look great! Defiantly would recommend her services.

    Felisha provided excellent service when we hired her to decorate our hall for our wedding and then my sisters quinceanera. I showed her pictures of what we wanted and she was able to replicate it at an affordable price.

    When my mom and I were looking into flowers, I was recommended to check out Blushing Bride Boutique from a friend who had gotten married and used her a year prior. Both my mom and I were excited to meet and visit with Felicia to go over my flowers and what we would like. I had looked at a few other places and was very unhappy with what I was coming across and was getting very discouraged until I came here. I knew the moment we were talking that I was ready to work with this company. Countless times I changed my mind on what exactly I wanted, and with each change there was never an issue, she was always willing to please. My flowers on my wedding day were absolutely gorgeous, and I have received several compliments the day of and after the wedding asking for details on everything about my flowers. Also, the shop there is amazing, I had been looking for a pearl headband for months, and i couldn't find what i was looking for until I met Blushing Bride Boutique. All in all, this was one of the most pleasant experiences I have had with planning my wedding, and planning for 300+ can get a little overwhelming. I wouldn't change a thing about it, and will recommend this company to anyone that is getting married. They will make your day better than you ever could think.

    Felicia did an AMAZING job with our floral centerpieces. They looked spectacular. She is kind, efficient, and goes out of her way to please the bride. Her prices are very affordable, as well. She far exceeded our expectations.

    I was very happy with the flowers that Felicia provided for our wedding. Her rates were really unbeatable. She had beautiful altar arrangements available for us to rent, and was very accommodating with creating exactly what I wanted for our centerpieces. I wanted bird cage centerpieces overflowing with flowers and greenery inside and she did a great job bringing the vision to life. I had planned on allowing our hotel to provide a few standard centerpieces for some tables so that our birdcage and topiary centerpieces would stand out more, but my wedding planner tells me that during set-up Felicia noticed that the basic centerpieces from the hotel did not complement the rest of our theme, so she quickly threw together pretty centerpieces with colored mason jars and fresh flowers that she had on hand. Not sure how or why she had extra flowers on hand that day, but I was very grateful because they looked beautiful! She also did not charge us for these extra centerpieces. She had really nice pew decorations that we were able to rent for the church, and some vases and other décor for our gift table / placecard table. My bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets turned out just beautiful, and our moms loved their corsages as well. And I really, really loved the pomander that she made for our flower girl. Felicia was readily available anytime I had questions related to the type of flowers we used or the cost involved with choosing different flowers. She also helped suggest flowers that were more cost friendly and still created the same effect. The only tiny detail that Felicia forgot about was that I wanted a sprig of Lily of the Valley in my bouquet since it was my grandmother's favorite flower. But in the bigger picture, with the amount of money we saved by using Felicia's services, and the amazing work she did on everything, it really was not that big of a deal at the end of the day. Other places that we looked into were 3-4x the amount that Felicia charged.

    Felicia is lovely, from top to bottom. She works with everyone on every budget. My husband and I wanted minimalistic flowers, and to her that wasn't a turn off it was a challenge. She made sure that my flowers stood out proud and beautiful without detracting from anything else. She works with both real and artificial. She also rents out many items to her brides rather than them having to go buy them, or rent from someplace more expensive.

    Blushing Bride Boutique made beautiful flowers for our wedding day! There was a slight oversight on the amount of flowers that were delivered, but it was taken care of. Very easy to work with and pleasant experience.

    Felicia's flowers, and especially her good ideas, really made a difference at our wedding ceremony and reception! I received many many compliments during and after the wedding that the centerpieces were beautiful. We had 3 types for 16 tables: floating blue orchids in trio glasses (20" 16" 12") with floating candles that looked elegant, crystal stand (z gallerie) with fern rose lisianthus topiary that looked whimsical and had great movement, and tall white light purple and dark purple/pink gladiolas with hydrangeas around the 5" rim of a 20" glass vase. We also had the multi-color gladiolas in her art deco vases on display at the head table and they were gorgeous. My bride and bridesmaid bouquets were designed my Felicia with a beautiful variety of color and organic shape that made my dress and jewelry really pop -- white light purple and dark purple stock, blue and white orchids, and lisianthus. The lisianthus mother's corsages were very pretty as well. I loved the look of the blue orchid boutonnieres with green leaves, however in the summertime I'll caution brides that they are fragile and wilt easily. For the ceremony we rented the white arbor with Felicia's silk topper where she added fresh gladiolas and other flowers, as well as the vases of gladiolas her team attached to the bottom of the arbor. Bravo, Beautiful, and easy to work with!

    Felicia was pretty easy to work with. I had a budget set up and did not want to exceed $1500-2000. We met at a floral warehouse and had our consultation. It was nice to see the flowers that we could possibly be using. The only issue was that every time we talked we had the same conversations about what I did and didn’t want. When it came time for the final floral decisions she quoted me and stated specific flowers and colors she would use. My flowers were not the same thing we had decided on a few days prior, but they were nice. My table settings I loved and were pretty on point! The floral on the cake was pretty but didn’t really match with any of my colors. I was a laid back bride so it didn’t upset me. The only issue that did upset me a bit was our bouquets. My bridal bouquet was supposed to be cascading. My bouquet was a nosegay and did not cascade ( not what I wanted or what we dicussed). Rhinestones were also in all of our bouquets and it did not seem to go with anything. Like I said, I was a laid back bride. I was happy to be getting married so these types of difference did not ruin my day. Overall everything looked very nice and elegant. She did stay on budget and actually started convincing me NOT to do certain things to save money. She is extremely nice but one piece of advice is to be VERY specific.

    Felicia created my bouquets/flowers... I got to go to the flower warehouse where she gets all her flowers from and choose what kinds I wanted. I chose a few different flowers, but when she showed up with everything on my wedding day, there were so many cheap fillers in the bouquets. She included the flowers I chose, but the proportions of them were way off... there were maybe only 3-4 roses, and two gerber daisies, and then a ton of greens and babies breath which I told her to only put a tiny bit of to fill around. I was definitely disappointed in the looks of them, but they were still a good size and the prices were totally reasonable compared to other flower shops. She is really bad about emailing back, so you're better off calling her directly. Also, she does put together candy buffets and did mine (I bought all the candy and just rented all her jars, scoops, and services to set up). She really did a great job setting it up, plus I didn't have to buy a bunch of jars and scoops that I would never use again. I would recommend her for that type of service, but probably not flowers unless you're on a really tight budget.

    Brides come to me all the time begging for low cost flowers. I work hours with them to give them what they can afford and then they want more than their budget allows. She was counting flowers and yet I gave her a bigger bouquet by adding the filler so they were not small. She wanted big but the flowers used gave an empty look without the filler. Gerbers are just a stem as well as roses. You need the filler to fill out the bouquet. When you only wish to spend minimal on bouquets and use flowers that need assistance to look full you do the best with the budget provided.

    Prior to the wedding the communication with Felicia was poor as she did not respond to emails in a timely manner and often was late to appointments. Needless to say, the one thing that went wrong the day of my wedding was the flowers-there were numerous issues. The boutonnieres were massive, fully open roses that would have looked terrible on the groomsmen and ring bearer. These were the same roses that were in my bouquet, which I did love, but absolutely would have looked terrible on the boys. The girls that delivered the flowers were very sweet and brought back normal size boutonnieres. I also ordered a small wreath of baby's breath for the flower girls to wear in their hair which was just thrown together with tape and did not come with anything to secure the piece in the girl's hair. The flower pomanders the girls were to carry quickly fell apart. Unfortunately I wasted my money since the girls were unable to wear the wreath of baby's breath or carry the pomanders. I had provided Felicia with pictures of the exact flowers I wanted for the bridesmaids. It couldn't have been any easier to guess what I had envisioned. I informed her that I absolutely did not want bright pink and sure enough the roses were not a soft blush color like the roses in the pictures. The colors of the orchids attached to the bows at the pews were not the color I had selected from her flower book. Some of the centerpieces at the reception contained diamond wrap around the vases which was not what I had requested. Lastly the girls showered up at 12 to start taking the centerpieces down when the reception went until 1am. I thought it was very rude for them to start packing up when we had a good amount of people still sitting at the tables, having conversation. Some brides do not care too much about flowers but this was something I really put a lot of thought into. Although this vendor is affordable, I would have paid more money to avoid being so upset about the flower service.

    I would first like to say that our flowers turned out beautifully, although Felicia used the diamond sparkly pins in my bouquet and I had asked for regular pearl, but it still looked nice. I think the prices were quite reasonable and we definitely saved money. HOWEVER, it was very difficult to work with Felicia. On my first two meetings with her she ran quite late to the appointment, including one which I took time off work for and drove over an hour to get to, and she arrived 30 minutes late because her husband hadn't woken her up. To me that is very unprofessional. It put me on edge that the flowers might be late for the wedding - which they weren't - I made sure to call her the day before the wedding to make sure we agreed on a time and place for delivery. Once we got the flowers they were great, but her lack of timeliness was very frustrating to me, and very disappointing. I do not think Felicia could disagree with my assessment. I would have rather paid more money for a smoother and less stressful experience.

    Pros and Cons.
    PROS: Felicia is nice. The silks used were lovely and realistic looking. She will work with your budget.
    NEUTRAL: Her prices are reasonable, but they say you get what you pay for. Her initial communication seemed professional but then was sparse, and it became obvious she had not written anything down. I texted her a list when it became apparent that she was not referring to the email I had sent her previously.
    CONS:
    1) The Boutonnieres were open roses and the wrong color. They were blush pink and not Ivory, as I had requested. When I asked her about this her response was that she couldn't find Ivory due to the season. I find this extremely hard to believe, considering white and Ivory are pretty common wedding colors all year round. You can also see her text response in the photo I uploaded. None of this was communicated to me prior. Groom's bout looked like a corsage there were so many roses and ribbon.
    3) My wedding bouquet was misshapen and not secured at all. The flowers literally fell out shortly after pictures were taken. When I messaged her about this, you can see her response. Again, none of this was communicated to me prior.
    3) in the voicemail she left me, she told me I could easily rework this bouquet myself. Boy is that the truth, I was able to completely disassemble the entire thing in less than 2 minutes. It was only taped together in one spot. The thing is I paid her to do the work so that I would not have too! I spent hours of my time redoing what she was paid to do to begin with.
    I wish I could upload the voicemail she left me trying to explain away the shoddy workmanship.
    Thank God my order was small and I was not out a ton of money. Also grateful I was capable of creating something on my own that was far better than what initially arrived.

    This was a last minute bride wanting inexpensive silk pieces and I took the time to create samples and sent photos which most florist will not do. She approved the order before I shipped it with photos of the whole order. Then in shipment 2 flowers fell out and she called me. I responded with a call immediately and also explained that due to shipping those came out and all she needed to do was tuck them back in. If I did not meet her need why did she approve the order when she could clearly see the entire order, colors and then say how beautiful it all was. I offered assistance to her and she refused to call me back. This bride had no budget was last minute and then goes all over the internet trying to put me to shame & out of business for 2 silk flowers that fell out in shipment. It seems that when someone can clearly see the whole order before shipping should have not approved it to go unless it was what they wanted.

    Felicia was great in the planning phase of picking out flowers for my wedding. However, the quality of flowers wasn't great. The roses turned within a few hours. They were brown before the reception ended. Wedding at 2pm and Reception at 5pm. Also forgot to give me my flower petals and extra wrist corsage on morning of my wedding. So I had to have my mother run to jewel to get these....then she shows up with them 10 minutes before I am supposed to walk down the aisle. I paid her for these and didn't get any money off either. Most importantly, how could I have my flower girl not have petals or my aunt not have the wrist corsage. I ordered both from Jewel and my aunt's wrist corsage is the only one the held up all night and did not turn brown. I emailed Felicia regarding this and all she could say was I gave them to you in perfect condition and had you put them in the fridge and watered them between the ceremony and the reception they would not have died. I did water them and I did not have a fridge in my limo. I spent almost $500 and the flowers did not even make it through the night. I was and am quite disappointed with my wedding flower experience! I would advice others to check out Jewel or go elsewhere.

    Megan a very late and disorganized bride came to me 2 weeks before her wedding in desperation of flowers for her wedding on 3-23-13.
    She was given an extremely high flower quote from another florist and was looking for mercy from me to provide her at 2 weeks before her wedding all her flowers. I came to her rescue and her very low budget at the late hour and presented a very fair package for the short notice and what she wanted for flowers. We provided her with exactly what she ordered (including the 1 corsage she say's I did not provide) on time for the pick up at 9 a.m that morning by 2 young men. They examined the order and accepted everything in perfect condition and commented how wonderful everything looked and smelled. I gave them very complete instructions in how to care for the flowers as it was an extremely cold day below freezing and that the flowers could brown and die if they were not handled properly in these conditions. I was not permitted to deliver the flowers as the bride didn't want to pay for the delivery which would have guaranteed total care and life of the flowers with my delivery. I personally called over an hour before the ceremony and told the bride and the young man who picked up the order that I was delivering the rose petals to the church so there was no worry. I was at the church well before the ceremony with them and personally went in to see the bride and get her comments on the flowers which in her words they were beautiful. Then I am surprised days later I receive an email that she was unhappy that the corsages died by the reception. I explained to her that white flowers brown in extreme weather conditions which we experienced that day and she also agreed to be responsible for the care of the flowers after they left my shop. Now she is not being truthful of the entire situation and is upset that I will not refund her any funds after she was trying to save a delivery fee and did not properly care for the corsages to ensure their performance. I cannot be held responsible for someone else mishandling the flowers on such a very cold day. I am sorry for the fact that the corsages did not hold up into the reception but she also accepted the responsibility of caring for the flowers past the pick up. The flowers were perfect for the entire ceremony and until the reception time.

    As a guy I would normally not post any reviews, however, for this vendor I have to make an exception simply because I would never wish on my worst enemies the heartbreak and stress that my wife has gone through because of Blushing Bride and its owner, Felicia. It broke my heart to see my wife crying on our wedding day because of the horrible service and flowers which Blushing Bride provided. Despite numerous meetings between my wife and Felicia, and despite a written contract, Felicia ignored the contract. Another thing which was upsetting about Blushing Bride is the fact that Felicia was very unprofessional. She showed up two hours late to the hotel, which only caused my wife more stress on our big day. Luckily we had an awesome wedding planner which helped Felicia do her job. If you are looking for a professional, who takes responsibility for her actions, then Blushing Bride is NOT your vendor! Lastly, the orchid she provided for me died in less than 2 hours. Our wedding photos need to be edited because of all the wilted flowers. My advice to anyone looking to hire Blushing Bride, she may be a few hundred dollars cheaper than the rest, but in the end that savings is not worth the stress. Blushing Bride provided poor quality flowers, lack of professionalism and overall bad service.
