Beautiful Blooms Events

We were from out of town, so had to manage the arrangements via phone and email. However, Beautiful Blooms delivered great service, lovely flowers and a super ceremony back drop. They sent photos and descriptions of the arrangements and were easy to work with. Very professional and responsive.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Jackie and the rest of the folks at Beautiful Blooms for my wedding last month. Before I met with Jackie, I read the other Unilocal reviews noting that Beautiful Blooms did a wonderful job, but that you weren’t able to see your arrangement before the wedding. I know that brides are probably so eager to have a preview of their bouquet (as I was too!). Well after discussing with Jackie, she managed to have a sample arrangement made so I could feel better, which I really didn’t need because she 100% understood what look I wanted, and delivered on it!
My wedding relied 100% on flowers for decoration and Beautiful Blooms executed my vision. The talent, professionalism, and service are all reasons for the 5 star review and in my experience meeting with other florists in Philly, no other came any where close to the professionalism and service Beautiful Blooms provided.

I do not doubt that Beautiful Blooms is a wonderful florist; however there were some communication gaps when trying to get a proposal.
I had reached out to Beautiful Blooms with a pretty detailed e-​mail about my wedding and exactly what I wanted. We set up a quick phone call with Jessica soon after. The call was very friendly and Jessica had noted that a written proposal would be on the way.
A week later, I followed up to see is the proposal was ready as we already had other floral proposals and was trying to make a final decision soon. Jessica told me the proposal would come by the end of the next day. I followed up with Jessica with a competitor’s proposal to see if she could match or beat it with no answer. Four days later, I finally received the proposal from another Beautiful Bloom team member.
Soon after, I told them I was going elsewhere.
From phone call to proposal was nearly two weeks. With most other florists, I received proposals within 3 days. Not sure what happened here.
UPDATE: Exactly one month after I e-​mailed them I was going with a different florist, they e-​mailed me to see if I was still interested. Another example of bad communication.

I chose BB because they were the selected florist vendor for our venue, Tendenza. I couldn’t have been more pleased with their work and professionalism. I also used them to drape our reception room for a ceremony. They did all the lighting as well. All the flowers and the venue was beautiful! They are so great to work with. They are easy to talk to and are very responsive via email. I totally recommend them!

Beautiful Blooms was recommended to me by my venue and a friend who had also used them for her wedding. We loved our contact there, but unfortunately, halfway through the process she went out on maternity leave. Fast forward to my wedding day, and the flowers not only arrive late, but arrive without MY bouquet. One of my bridesmaids called and they said they forgot to bring it and would send someone with it. I found hard to believe and guess they forgot to make it, as it started falling apart as soon as I picked it up and all the way down the aisle. The bouquet I designed with my blooms representative had beautiful muted purple orchids, not the neon orchids in my bouquet that showed up. Also, my church was right around the corner from B Blooms and the groomsmen’s flowers never showed up. When they called they were told the delivery guy was on his way, a mere 15 min before the ceremony! The table centerpieces were pretty but were simple, so hard to mess up. We paid for bathroom baskets to save time but they ended up being pathetic for the cost. We were told by B Blooms that we would receive a refund for my disappointing bouquet, which we we received, and a credit for future Blooms arrangements and a gift from my registry, which we did not receive. I will NOT be recommending this florist to any of my engaged and future engaged friends. I had so much fun designing my dream bridal bouquet and it is a shame it fell apart and I have no pictures with it enact.

I can’t say enough about the team at Beautiful Blooms, without whom our recent wedding would not have looked nearly as great. My husband and I started the florist-​finding process hoping not to spend a zillion dollars on table arrangements and other decorations, such as candles. We were sure we couldn’t afford BB, based on their gorgeous offices, but Donna was very accommodating and reasonable when it came to working within our budget. We told her what we were hoping to spend, what we wanted, and she made it happen, seemingly effortlessly. She understood what we wanted and created it just as we pictured. She also broke down our proposals/​invoices line by line, so at any time we could feel free to strike things. And although our total spending was pretty small (compared with some of their other clients), we never felt pressured to spend more. Our wedding was at Front and Palmer, and knowing that Donna’s team had a lot of experience working in that space meant we didn’t worry about a thing. The cherry on top was the dramatic, elegant arrangements she created for the ceremony itself — my husband had some pretty specific ideas of how he wanted them to look, and it’s safe to say they surpassed our high expectations. We even got compliments on them from wedding guests — unheard of, as far as I’m concerned. Who remembers the flowers?!? When they are this gorgeous, I guess people do. Thanks to Donna and her team for making our wedding day such a success.

Alicia was so helpful in making our wedding simply spectacular. She assisted with flower selections (as I had no idea about flowers) and she designed the most breathtaking center pieces. Our guests raved about everything. The lighting and chandelier made the Atrium at the Curtis Center so elegant. She was so great to work with and everything was beautiful. Thank you!

My wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without Beautiful Blooms!
I recently had a wedding and booked Beautiful Blooms to be my florist. They were SO accommodating and so welcoming. I loved working with Liz and Alicia!
Alicia knows how to read your mind. I would swear by it. Every detail I would discuss with her, she knew how to execute them. She was a wizard! She was totally opened to my ideas and the quirkiness I wanted to bring out in flowers.
The hardest part, I do admit, is going with your gut since you’re unable to see the flowers until your big day. Rest assured that they know what they’re doing. My flowers, especially since each and every flower was cherry picked, all came together perfectly.
Don’t be afraid to ask question or second guess, they are here for you to work with you and not against you on what you want. Very accommodating vendors. They literally go in, do their job, and when you see it… it’s surreal.
Their offices are just as beautiful as their work. They are a well greased up machine and know what they’re doing! Love them!

Beautiful Blooms was an incredible choice for our wedding. I had a heck of a time deciding on our florist because the theme was more outside-​the-​box. I wasn’t sure if Beautiful Blooms got it at first, but they were so nice we returned to them after speaking to another florist who was ridiculously expensive.
I’m so glad we did. Sara was great. Our next meeting was spot-​on with ideas and Sara was actually thinking about our wedding at dinner one night, and suggested a smoking cocktail she had (made with dry ice) that became our mega-​hit signature drink. It just got better from there. We wanted to decorate our venue stairs with lanterns, and Beautiful Blooms had an extensive warehouse of items. Also, they were so reasonably priced to rent. Instead of traditional favors, we had a section of various themed items and they again had such a reasonable price to set-​up/​create signs for this and did really, really impressive work.
My bouquet was stunning and when I wanted one more thing (adding some gold the bridesmaids had), Sara ran right back over before the wedding to put it in mine. The bouquets were woodsy, whimsical, unique, just like I envisioned. The night was such a blur, I’d love to comment more on the ceremony arch and centerpieces, but I need to wait for pictures! For centerpieces, we had a sort of tree formation with a moss-​trunk stem, and from what I remember, they really hit the mark. I was told by guests it looked very fantasy, which is exactly what we wanted.
Beautiful Blooms studios are spacious and bright. When you meet with your florist, she can bring up your Pinterest board on a large screen, and that was very helpful. The entire staff is very friendly. If there’s ever a future event in my life where I need a florist, I will be working with them.

Out of all the vendors we needed to arrange, finding a florist for our November 2 wedding was the most difficult. We met with at least 3 other florists in the Philadelphia area and had issues with each. They were either too pricy, too snooty, or didn’t listen to our ideas at all.
A fellow engaged friend recommended Beautiful Blooms and as soon as we met with Sara Fernandez, we felt extremely comfortable and confident that Beautiful Blooms would be wonderful to work with. We discussed our budget and Sara was able to provide us with many different options to suit our needs, both financial and artistic. Sara was able to pull up my pinterest board and other photos on a large tv screen in the room and we flipped through various inspiration photos to determine exactly what would work for us.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she was easy to get in touch with to talk through final plans, which was great. On the day of the wedding, our flowers were dropped off at our hotel on time, looking even better than what I had envisioned. Their team also did an excellent job of setting up the venue and table centerpieces. Guests were extremely impressed and everything was just how we had discussed. I would highly recommend Beautiful Blooms to any bride looking for talented florists that are extremely easy to work with and provide many options for all budgets.

We really enjoyed working with Sara from Beautiful Blooms! They were so accommodating, especially because I was planning my wedding from out of town!
For our wedding they did all flowers and lighting (at the Curtis Center) including the most beautiful crystal chandeliers. People were raving about my flowers, especially my bridal bouquet! They even helped me add personal touches, like my grandmother’s cross and other «something borrowed» to the base of my bouquet. I had trouble expressing exactly what I wanted in the meetings but Sara got it and definitely delivered. I especially loved the receptionist — she was so incredibly nice! Always helping us find parking :)
I would recommend beautiful blooms for any wedding, especially Sara!

I live close by and occasionally stop in for a few stems. She always stocks the really pretty lush varieties. Though they are expensive, I often find that simplicity & minimalism allow me to pick out 2 — 3 stems and leave totally satisfied with some gorgeous flowers (though I did once spend $ 27 here on various flowers after having a bad day). When I can’t go to the farmer’s market, Beautiful Blooms is my #1 choice for lovely flowers. I am happy that they are so close by.

Located right on the corner of 3^rd and Liberties Walk, this is the go-​to spot for bouquets for in No-​Libs. They have a great selection of fresh flowers and the florist here put together 2 great arrangements for me recently. The prices, flowers, and service are better than shops in Old City.
They also have gifts and small house plants (mostly succulents). I would stick to the flowers, as everything else here seems to be overpriced.

If you want a reliable florist, DO NOT GO HERE! I was in the market for a florist for my wedding. I had shopped around at a few places, Beautiful Blooms being one of them. Cool location, close to home. I met the owner she was so sweet, and to top it all off, she had a really awesome HUGE dog named T.J., that for me, almost made the selling point. She had some cool ideas and a bit of a reputation. I shopped around a bit more, went for a 2^nd consult and decided to work with her. She asked me to send some photos of some ideas, I did immediately. Now in contact, you never talk to the florist, only an assistant. Which was fine, but when a month goes by after our meeting and me sending a few images to her and hearing nothing from her I was a bit concerned. I hadn’t even received an estimate or a contract yet. I attempted to contact her several times, taking weeks for the assistant to even get back to me, constantly telling me that the florist had «a family emergency» and was out of town. (fyi…I was told she was having a family emergency once a week…) It was like pulling teeth trying to get my estimate and before I even got that, i was sent a contract asking for a $ 1000 deposit, which is absurd!!! After refusing to sign the contract until I got my estimate, things i thought were picking up the pace. I finally got the estimate and had scheduled a phone consult with the florist to go over the proposal. The estimate had NOTHING of what we discussed or I had mentioned in my emails, basically just consisting of a handful of overpriced flowers and tea lights. She never called me the day of our «phone consult» so I contacted her office. I was informed of another family emergency and told them to have her contact me when she had the time. The assistant was so apologetic and assured me I would hear from her the next day and she was going to make sure of it! Two weeks later, I still never heard anything. I have never seen a business, especially for a wedding, run so poorly and irresponsibly. In the mean time, I found another florist that is awesome, creative and much more reliable. I wish I could have had better to say, but stay away from here if you want your florist to actually show up the day of your wedding.
