Tabitha Sent on 07/11/2025Amazing Experience
I couldn’t have been happier with our wedding florals! Everything was absolutely seamless from start to finish. I shared my inspiration photos and they brought my vision to life perfectly—every arrangement looked just like what I had imagined (if not better!).
They had everything I needed to add on, from extra arrangements to last-minute touches, and even offered helpful suggestions along the way. Their creativity, attention to detail, and flexibility made the entire process stress-free. I felt completely confident in their hands and was blown away by the final result. Highly recommend! -

Best Florist Ever!
Erin made our wedding look absolutely spectacular with the floral arrangements and bridal party bouquets that she created. She created a magical feeling for both the church and reception. She exceeded all of our expectations and we cant thank her enough. -

Taylor Sent on 01/02/2020Erin created the bouquet of my dreams!
I couldn’t possibly thank Erin enough for my beautiful bouquet she created. I wanted my bouquet to be wildly large with winter like flowers as my husband and I married on the 26th of December. Not only did she create just that for my bouquet, Erin also created a head piece that made me feel elegant and wild like too. She was always responsive and flexible as well as affordable. To accommodate our wedding we so quickly threw together, Erin also brought my flowers to the salon for my stylist to pin in my hair early that morning. I plan to order all of my flowers from this point forward from the Budding Tree and highly recommend her! -

Erin and her team were amazing from start to finish. She worked with me throughout the wedding planning process to bring my vision to life. Every detail was exactly what we had discussed. She worked within my budget to make sure we got the most for our money. Erin went above and beyond adding unexpected touches to our arrangements which she did at no charge. She is a true professional and I would hands down recommend her to anyone who was in need of a florist :) -

Even Better Than I Expected
I had many meetings with florist's to try and pick the perfect person for our wedding. I had a phone meeting with Erin, and she was so knowledgeable and had everything we wanted and her style was exactly what we were looking for. We really wanted string lights hung above our dance floor and we were able to rent lights from her and she put them up for us! When the flowers arrived, I was absolutely stunned. They were even better than I imagined. I can't even express how much I fell in love with them. The centerpieces, bridal bouquets, bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and ceremony flowers were breathtaking. I would highly recommend Erin. And her price is so reasonable for the quality she delivers. -

Joanna Sent on 09/13/2017The budding tree did an amazing job with my flowers. My bouquet was truly a work of art and the most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen! I had my wedding in an airplane hanger and she truly transformed the venue and made it look so elegant! Thank you so much! -

Brianne Sent on 04/22/2016Erin from The Budding Tree was great! Our flowers were absolutely beautiful - can't wait to get my photography back! She was able to work within our budget and gave us a great price. My mother in law and I had a different vision for the flowers, but Erin was able to make arrangements that satisfied us both. Thank you! -

Ellen Sent on 11/11/2014Working with Erin was great! Our initial floral designer fell through within the last 6 weeks, and it was truly a blessing to find her! We should have gone with her in the beginning! The prices were amazing, and she was so helpful in identifying all the flowers that we really wanted. She did all of our bouquets and boutonierres, and provided bulk flowers that our designer put together on site for the centerpieces. The flowers were beautiful, and the bouquets were truly perfect and everything and more of what I was looking for! Thanks so much Erin! It was a pleasure working with you! -

Jennifer Sent on 11/27/2013Erin from The Budding Tree did such an amazing job, I met with her a couple of times and showed her photos of my inspiration and she completely got my vision. Everything was so pretty and exactly what I wanted. She was really able to take everything I had been telling her for almost 2 years and create it on our wedding day. She transformed the barn from country to a romantic English garden. She completely blew me away with her talent. -
Emily Sent on 11/04/2017Erin Manaska did an absolutely stunning job with all of our flowers--bridal and bridesmaids bouquets as well as beautiful creations for our center pieces. We got so many compliments on our gorgeous and unique flowers. I know nothing about flowers, and right off the bat Erin took my inspiration photos and knew what to ask and what to do! The flowers turned out even better than I imagined, and she worked within our budget to ensure we stayed on track! We had 3 variations of centerpieces which she prepared-- one more elaborate flower arrangement, one mid--size, and one small. All with candles. I would absolutely recommend The Budding Tree for your floral needs!

Megan Sent on 08/25/2013I cannot say enough about how beautiful our flowers were at our wedding. My husband, my mother, myself and ALL of our guests were stunned! Erin and Terri have the invaluable ability to take with a bride about her vision and take it to the next level. They provided more than just flowers, a lot of the design of the wedding was theirs too! They seemed willing to work with any budget, idea, and space to make it as beautiful and unique and it could be. I cannot recommend them enough!! -

Kerstin Sent on 11/09/2019GORGEOUS, could not have been better!
We chose The Budding Tree as our florist for our wedding, and we could not have imagined a more perfect turnout - STUNNING AND TRULY BEAUTIFUL! We were blown away at how perfect Erin's work turned out to be. We received SO, SO, SO MANY compliments from guests about the colors, freshness, design, and arrangement of all the floral pieces as part of our wedding. Erin was fabulous, right down from the initial consultation to the final day of prep, very pleasant, helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. Not only did she significantly assist us in making our selections, guiding us through the process and covering all of the possible needs (which she brought to my attention several things I had no idea I may need and/or had the ability to obtain through her), but also I really appreciated the fact that she was problem solving with us as to how to make things LESS expensive, offering suggestions for re-using stuff. Not only do they offer floral arrangements, but a WIDE variety of other rental needs, which took a HUGE chunk of stress off my shoulder in figuring out where/how I was going to obtain these items to create my vision - she truly took my vision and made it hers, only she made it look like it was straight from a bridal magazine! And the pricing, I cannot get over how reasonably priced everything was, probably the best value of all the vendors we worked with! I HIGHLY recommend this vendor for any and all occasions, you will not be disappointed! -

Leah Sent on 10/30/2018Absolutely Beautiful Artist / Work
The arrangements were unique and the most beautiful creative works of art I've ever seen at a wedding. Erin's artistic vision and talent for putting the right combo together was evident from the first meeting. I Cried when i saw what she created for me, my bridal party, and then again at the church and reception with the decor. Everything was where it needed to be and on time. totally flawless. For the level of service she provides and the arrangements she created, her pricing is extremely fair and of good value. I honestly could not recommend this florist more. -

Monica Sent on 12/24/2013Erin and Terri were amazing! They went above and beyond the call of duty to make our wedding beautiful! Every last detail was perfect. All of our guests raved about the amazing decor and our venue uses pictures of it to advertise their space! I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out! -

Kary Sent on 10/24/2012I simply adored Erin and Terri. They are so creative and come up with some fantastic ideas. I changed my mind a million times during the whole process, but they always accomodated me and were happy to do so. Everyone commented on how beautiful everything was. I was completely blown away. It turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. If you want a wedding that's unique, creative, glamorous, and just plain beautiful, book The Budding Tree! I couldn't have been more pleased. :) -

User1113634 Sent on 03/19/2013I was very pleased with the flowers for my wedding. I did find it difficult at times to reach Erin and it was a long drive from my home to meet her for meetings. I had wished my headdress (which was a flower wreath) had been completed with ribbons and peacock feathers that I had included, but I was very happy with the reception flower displays and how she had incorporated all my candle holders within the displays. The green chandelier was the centerpiece of the event and thrilled all my guests. That piece made me feel special on my special day. -

Melissa Sent on 01/14/2013The work that The Budding Tree did for my wedding was truly a work of art. They have already done 2 of my friends weddings and now mine and yet again did not disappoint! If you want unique and beautiful, go with The Budding Tree. -

Ana Sent on 07/27/2012Terri and Erin did alll of our wedding flowers, our escrort display, and all of our linens.
They can be difficult to get a hold of during wedding season, but outside of that time, Erin generally answered emails within a few days. I saw them initially at a bridal show and loved their aesthetic. They really understood what I wanted, and were willing to work with what I was thinking and within my budget.
Our centerpieces were gorgeous. I had bought tall bird houses that I wanted to use for centerpieces on a handful of tables. They decorated the birdhouses with ribbon and live foliage to make the bird houses fit into my romantic garden theme. The smaller centerpieces were flowers in urns, and they were amazing. Very lush and full.
My bouquet and the bridesmaids' bouquets were fabulous and huge. When I saw the bouquets for the first time, I could not believe how big they were. And exactly what I wanted. Little touches of blue mixed into my pink and white bouquet with a slight cascade. Unfortunately, I was less pleased with the moms' corsages. I thought they were kind of small, and both broke right after the ceremony (which means, the corsages only lasted about an hour).
Erin and Terri also did a escort display using a window to indicate the assigned tables. I loved it and can't tell you how many people mentioned to me how much they loved the display specifically. My guests raved about it. It was definitely gorgeous!
The budding tree also provided table runners and chair covers. I had other vendors quote us for this, butthe budding tree's pricing was lower. Erin and Terri set everything up, and I did not have to pay an extra delivery or set up fee.
Overall, I was extremely pleased with the budding tree's services. Their work made my wedding decor exactly as I pictured it. One of the compliments I received from a guest: "Everything looks like it fits in your theme." Yay! -

Taylor Sent on 01/09/2020Disappointed Potential Customer
Although The Budding Tree has nice work it doesn't compensate for the lack of attention to detail in the proposal or slow response time to emails. After several slow to respond emails we finally met and came up with a potential design and agreed the final pricing and contract would follow so we could place a deposit. Erin did state she was busy and it may take a week or so to get it to us, which we agreed to. However, several weeks had passed and still no contract/proposal. After contacting TBT to the point I felt I was bugging them the contract finally arrived and the date of the wedding was listed with the year 2018! So it was quite obvious at that point that there was absolutely no thought what-so-ever put into the preparation of the proposal. Which left me thinking if this is how detail on a proposal is handled how would they handle the rest of the floral details for my wedding? I understand that florist are busy especially in the fall with existing customers. However, if you fail to take care of your "potential" customers that want to give you their business, well in a few years you may not have a business. There are plenty of other talented florist out there that would love to have my business, and that is exactly what happened. Also, after emailing the contract not one follow-up to see if we had any additional questions/concerns etc. Very Disappointing. -

I can't say I had the most smooth ride with this company but the flowers were perfect and my day was enhanced by their beauty! My bouquet was just as pictured and I could not be happier with the lovely peonies added.
Overall stuff happens and we made it work. Thank you for assisting and being accomodating during COVID. Thank you for the beautiful our of this world bouquet!

Sadie Sent on 01/06/2020Never got a response
I was really excited when I found the budding tree. They seemed to have great prices and everyone I spoke with seemed super friendly! We talked back and forth in July 2019 about what I would like for my wedding in August of 2020. I spoke with someone on the phone, I honestly can't remember the name now, and she said I would have a plan within a couple weeks because she was going on vacation. After almost a month, I emailed them again to see what was going on with my plan and never received a reply. Not going to lie, I was pretty bummed because she seemed to really understand what I wanted and I had a great feeling about them.the budding tree's reply:
Dear Sadie,
I am sorry I have upset you so much for you to write such a review. It was not in my intention to be unresponsive towards you at all. During wedding season when you contacted work is piled high and being a small company it can be overwhelming and weeks pass by with a blink of an eye. If you have not yet found someone to full fill your flower needs for your wedding I would like the opportunity to make it up to you! I sincerely apologize again. ~Erin
