Bride's Bouquet

I have seen the show Bridezilla's and that woman scares me. I feel for the guy. RUN! Anyway, I have the pleasure of knowing Debby and I have to speak out because what I have grown to learn is that she is a woman of impeccable character. She goes the extra mile to fulfill her client's requirements. To set the record straight after that long tirade there were two issues bridezilla mentioned. The flowers and a call back. First, there was a contract that the bride negotiated that said no flowers were to be used... it is in writting. Reading is fundamental, but comprehension is crucial...Learn to read please. Second, the call.The bride's call was made 2 hours after the business closed around 9:30pm, she was with a client at the time and called the impertinent bride back at 11:00pm. Now, Debby is too classy to respond to such nonsense and has had to deal with this vicousness well over two years and I know it is time to put this to rest. Take a look at the 10 satisfied clients versus one obviously emotionally destructive person. Sorry Debby you do not deserve that and I am glad to say it.

Pros: Very High Quality

Cons: Give me a Break

THANK YOU sooooo much - The flowers for our wedding turned out absolutely beautiful and were exactly what I had wished for! Everyone loved them and couldn't stop commenting about them. I will be sending some pictures of the wedding when I get them from the photographer to send you. Thanks again for making our wedding as colorful and beautiful and we had hoped it would be and for understanding the elegant clean designs I had in mind for the flowers but for keeping the WOW factor!

We want to thank Debbie and Bill for helping to make our daughter Gabrielle's wedding this past Sunday such a special event. Both Debbie and Bill were extremely easy to work with. My daughter had a very specific vision for her bouguet and for the centerpieces in her mind and from our first meeting over a year ago Debbie shared her vision. She also incorporated my daughter's ideas with my wife's ideas, which were not always along the same lines. The end result was absolutely stunning! Debbie even went so far as to provide double boutineers for the groom, groomsmen and fathers because she was worried they would wilt in the heat(it was a beach ceremony) or get crushed by hugs. Our photographer told me that he had never seen the Presidential Ballroom look so beautiful. Debbie and Bill gave us everything that we had hoped for and more. We would not hesitate to use them for any flower needs!

Pros: Excellent service. Wonderful artistic design. Exceptional value. Like working with a friend

Cons: Absolutely None!

Flowers are a special gift because they will make an impression. Flowers say "I love you", "I am sorry", "with sympathy", "get well", or "thinking of you" time and time again. The flowers from The Bride's Bouquet, AKA Flowers and Events by the Bride's Bouquet will say it with more emphasis as a result of the style, grace and a touch of you. Go ahead...give them a call. Whomever answers the phone is personable, there to serve you and expert in the field of flowers and arrangements! It's OK...give them an odd or open order, they will create what the recipient will remember for long after the arrangement is present in their home or office! Watching finances...just share that with them. You will not get a cheap arrangement, rather all orders show beauty, value and style! Still waiting...for what? Flowers brighten days and lift even the highest of spirits...especially those like have been presented to my parents and grandparents...as well as those for our home...all by The Bride's Bouquet... Thank you, Bride's Bouquet for all you do!

Pros: Friendliness, availability, expertise, service, clear communication, value-based

Cons: They book up in advance for weddings & events - reserve dates early if possible

Debbie and Bill, I just wanted to thank you both for helping to make Jim and I’s day so special. The calla bouquets, the centerpieces, and the ceremony arch were absolutely beautiful and several of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been too. Your attention to detail was so greatly appreciated! I just saw our wedding now featured on your website showcasing the Sandpearl and I just love every photo! We sent your website to numerous friends today that couldn’t be there in person and they were in awe of the flowers and décor. Your contribution definitely helped to make the day unforgettable. Thank you for being such a pleasure to work with! Monica

I can not say enough wonderful things about Debbie and her staff. I am confident had it not been for Debbie, my wedding would not have been as beautiful as it was. I was married in April of 05. I was having a difficult time with the people at my venue understanding the layout for the tables in the antique barn where we were having the reception. Debbie took control and contacted the venue to explain her ideas. Thanks to her, everything was exactly the way I wanted it. The flowers were the most beautiful flowers I had ever seen at a wedding. They were exactly what we had talked about in our numerous meetings in person and on the phone. Her staff was very professional and did a great job setting everything up at the ceremony site and for the reception. I have recommended the Bride's Bouquet to many of my friends who have been just as satisfied as I was.

I was referred to Debbie by a friend when I got married in June 2002. I met with Debbie on several occasions. She worked with me to stay in budget and get the for my money. Suggesting that we move the alter pieces into the reception room to save on flowers and make the most impact. Everything was breath taking. I cound not have dreamed that it would look so beautiful. I referred her to several other friends that have gotten married since and they have all loved Debbie as well. I am posting this email in defense of a bad review that Debbie received. DO NOT let one persons experience stop you from at least visiting with Debbie before you make your final decision. She was nothing but professional and courteous and her staff went out of their way to add little touches that I was not even expecting. You will not be disappointed. I know I wasn't.

Pros: Original designs and great service.

Cons: Long drive from Tampa, but well worth it.

I got married in St. Pete, and originally wanted a florist closer. But several of my friends insisted I make the drive to see Debbie at the Bride's Bouquet, and I was NOT disappointed. She was friendly and easy to work with. She found ways to save money but still have the flowers look the way I wanted them to look. The flowers at the wedding were perfect ,and I could not have asked for better. I would recommend her to any bride!

Pros: Specializes in wedding flowers

We knew that everything you would do would be beautiful but when I saw the reception room I was completely blown away at how beautiful it was... and the gazebo was above and beyond what we had expected! Thank You for making our day so beautiful and special! Love, Ryann & Scott

Pros: Exceeded Expectations
