I truly wish I didn't have to write this review, but our experience with Anthos Floral Concepts / Anthos Studio (MYRNA POWELL) was so disappointing and upsetting that I feel it's important to warn others. We hired Anthos Floral Concepts / Anthos Studio (MYRNA POWELL) for our wedding and met with her three separate times to go over every detail of our floral arrangements. We were very clear about what we wanted, showed her photos, and left those meetings feeling reassured. Unfortunately, what showed up on our wedding day was not what we had agreed upon. The colors were wrong, the design we requested was completely the opposite of what we discussed, and overall it looked rushed and careless. As upsetting as that was, what made it so much worse was MYRNA POWELL's unprofessional and frankly shocking behavior. When the bride, understandably emotional on her wedding day, gently asked about the mix-up, MYRNA POWELL responded with a terrible attitude and actually yelled at her in front of our family and friends. It was humiliating and inexcusable. Who does that to a bride on her wedding day? A few days later, I (the groom) reached out, hoping for a calm and constructive conversation. Instead, I was met with the same hostility and was also yelled at. No apology, no accountability -- just more aggression. Weddings are stressful enough without having to deal with a vendor who not only fails to deliver what was promised but also treats clients with such disrespect. I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere. There are plenty of talented, kind, and professional florists out there -- sadly, ANTHOS FLORAL CONCEPTS (ANTHOS STUDIO) & MYRNA POWELL is not one of them. Myrna, if you're reading this, all it takes is to call me for an apology. read more

I would use them again, they exceeded my expectations! For a wedding, or gift they are a great choice.

I hate writing negative reviews. In fact, I never do. However, I feel compelled to to make sure no one else falls into this trap. I had a wedding scheduled last year which was canceled due to COVID. Since we cannot have the wedding we planned we have asked our vendors for as much of what we paid as would have cost them to deliver the actual product. All vendors agreed to various levels of reason, except for Matt and Anthos. He will call you and assure you he will take care of issues without ever following up or coming up with a new excuse as to why he can't deliver. He will also avoid texting so there is no paper trail. He's been leading us on now for over seven months. What would have happened if we actually wanted flowers? Where did our money go? Even our caterer stopped recommending him because she saw similar issues crop up recently. Even when we were going to go forward with the wedding, I ran into issues where they tried to overcharge us above the agreed price! This is a very shady company. Please don't waste your time with people who will waste yours. read more

Myrna and Matt went so far above and beyond with the florals for our wedding that I am still in awe of what they accomplished! We got so many compliments from our guests and they are absolute sweethearts to work with. We had some tricky restrictions and a couple of last minute requests, but they always found a way to make it work. Our special day wouldn't have been as perfect without their input and creativeness. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

My wedding was last year. I put off writing this review because Anthos was recommended to me by my wedding planner. Since then, they have stopped working with Anthos, so I'm writing this review now. I'm rating them 2 stars because of several factors. I put a short one-liner for the list, but if you want to read more in detail, keep scrolling. 1. Meeting notes were always wrong 2. I was ripped off 3. 2 OUT OF 3 FLOWERS I SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED FOR WERE NOT THERE!! :( (In my bouquet + in the centerpieces). 1. We would have a meeting, Matt would take notes, and then the notes would get sent to me. Not one time was it 100% accurate of what I said. I would say specifically I want this this and that, but when it's on paper, something is always wrongly recorded or missing. During the last meeting a week or so prior to the wedding, there were still mistakes. I had to make sure word for word everything was correct by sitting there and watch him type it. 2. Originally, I wanted 20 tall centerpieces. But as the wedding drew closer, I decided to change it to half short, half tall, and also adding two more (so 22 pieces in total). Anthos adjusted my prices and charged me more for the 2 extra centerpieces. At the time, this made sense, but on my wedding day, I saw that the tall centerpiece was significantly bigger than the short centerpieces (think beachball size to a small cantaloupe size). I had no problem with how it looks, but since they are using SUCHHH less flowers on half of the tables, I felt very ripped off that I had to pay more to add 2 more centerpieces, while 10 of the centerpieces got significantly reduced in size with no price adjustment. On top of this, they were already expensive to begin with. Compared to what some of my friends got for their wedding, same quality and similar flowers, theirs was over $1500 cheaper. 3. From the beginning, I requested for 3 flowers for my bouquet. Dahlia, stephanotis, and garden roses. I love these 3 flowers and always envisioned them in my bouquet on my wedding day. Note that these were all listed in the final agreement. Come my wedding day, the bouquet is here and I was so excited. I looked and saw that there were only dahlias, but no stephanotis nor garden roses. They added some bling pins in it instead (which I did not request or care for). I was so sad. The florist left before I notice this flaw, but while she was here, she offered no explanation. I also requested for garden roses to be in my centerpieces. They were nowhere to be found. They explained it away as the flowers they ordered weren't pretty, so they didn't put it in. I understand if that happens, but I was offered no explanation. The garden roses were replaced with regular roses, which I assume are cheaper. So once again, I was ripped off. With all this being said, the flowers did look nice for the most part, which is why I'm giving them 2 stars instead of 1. read more

Matt and Myrna did a terrific job. They were extremely pleasant to work with all the way up to our big day. The ceremony and venue looked beautiful and we're happy that we chose them. Great thing is that they will work within your budget and you don't feel like you're getting shortchanged. Some places will nickel and dime you on the smallest things or start off with a real high number as we experienced. Not with Matt and Myrna. They make sure everything is taken care of. Don't hesitate to work with them. read more

Our office constantly gets compliments on the arrangements as well as the green plants. It is obvious they really love what they do and care about their customers.
