HOW IS IT POSSIBLE I HAVEN'T REVIEWED POLLEN YET? I was married back in August of 2016. I'm really not a bride's bride, and was super easily overwhelmed by the gazillion things I had to decide on and create a vision around. one of these was flowers. enter Pollen. I don't even remember how I stumbled on them, but I was immediately drawn to the website (it's minimalist and clean) which featured arrangements overflowing with succulents. this seemed fun and unusual and I wanted my wedding to be that. as a part of our DIY decor, I folded about 200 origami cranes and wanted these to be included in all the arrangements. if I remember correctly, I kinda just dropped them off with Jenn and hoped for the best. holy shnikes did Pollen deliver! I mean, they literally delivered (I literally CRIED when I walked into the bridal suite at the venue in Driftwood). the flowers that I didn't even really care that much about or really even want (?? is that a thing?) were PERFECT. they were just so incredibly gorgeous. it was like these super-humans crawled in my brain and created my vision without me even knowing what that was. the cranes were so perfect. anyway, I wanted sunflowers and succulents and my wacky cranes and they just hit it out of the ballpark. AND their prices were reasonable, but even if they weren't, they'd 100% be worth it. read more

Cannot recommend Jennifer and Pollen Floral Art enough. The flower arrangements at my son's rehearsal dinner were gorgeous and reasonably priced. She was a delight to work with and did everything as promised. Thanks so much! read more

I cannot begin to even thank you enough for your gorgeous arrangements on my wedding day!! I really wish I could have told you in person but by the time I was done with my makeup and hair you had already left. The bouquets and centerpieces were more than I could have ever imagined or dreamt of. They were the most beautiful and unique bouquets I have ever seen and I could not stop staring at them or smelling them. The archways were also gorgeous and the cake flowers stunning. I peeked out from the bridal suite and saw you hard at work placing the archway vines and I really want you to know how much I appreciated it. If you ever need any references at all, I would be more than happy to be one for you. I also told my now husband that he knows where to get me flowers for special occasions in the future :D You were amazing!! read more

We worked with Jenn and she was a pleasure to work with.  As soon as I met with her in person I knew that she and the Pollen team would be able to capture what we were asking for.  They were also more affordable than several other florists I had already talked to.  We wanted bright colorful wildflowers and some greenery for our Chuppah.  When we arrived at the wedding venue all of the flowers and greenery were all ready, set up, and waiting for us.  I was blown away by how lush and beautiful the bouquets were.  All of the flowers truly were more beautiful than I imagined and added so much to our decor.  Also, we had a small change in our floral order just days before the wedding and they easily accommodated us.  We definitely recommend Pollen Floral Art, you will not be disappointed!                         Photo credit goes to the amazing Boxing Rose Photography read more

I cannot say enough how wonderful Jennifer and Brooke were! 3 days before my wedding I needed to add an extra bouquet and wrist corsage, and they didn't even blink! They were very responsive thru email, and listened to everything I liked and the vision I had for my wedding. When they brought our bouquets, I cried! (somewhat overly emotional!) But they were exactly what I had wanted and thought it would look like. We had budgeted a certain amount and they came in under our budget. Very reasonable! If you're in need of flowers for any event, but especially a wedding, you need to check these ladies out. They were so amazing to work with!!! read more

I called Valentine's Day morning. My mother in law wanted to get something for sister in law. We're in Indy; she's in Austin. After doing a little yelp/google research trying to find a place that isn't terribly far from Cherrywood and could produce something artistic and fun, I settled on Pollen. First off, the young lady who answered the phone (who's name I unfortunately forget) was extremely nice! I said I knew that it was last minute on Valentine's Day and asked if there was any way they could help us out. She explained that they would not have time to go to the wholesaler and pick up anything specific so we'd have to run with what they had. I said no problem, I understood. I told her I was looking for something bright and colorful, mentioned peonies might be nice... and they delivered an exquisite arrangement! Photos don't really do it justice, but sister in law said it looked like something out of a Dutch painting! I will definitely use their service again if needed to send flowers in Austin which is a good likelihood. read more

We used Brooke for our wedding flowers and everything turned out super! She was able to work under our tight schedule and deliver the bouquets and boutonnieres to the ceremony location. When she handed over the flowers we were amazed at how beautiful everything had turned out. If I ever have a need for floral arrangements again I know who I will turn to. read more

Brooke @Pollen Floral Art is incredibly talented! The bouquets and floral arrangements she designed are better than I could have imagined. Even though we never met in person, over the phone she asked me a range of questions and had a great sense of the atmosphere we were going for at our wedding. She selected peonies, succulents, and gorgeous greenery that complemented the serene ceremony surroundings beautifully. And the rose gold accents on the leaves were a perfect touch. Brooke was so sweet to add in a bridal hairpiece upon request just 2 weeks before the wedding day. It was a gorgeous addition! read more

Brooke @ Pollen Floral Art is my go-to expert for flowers. Her eclectic style and attentive craftsmanship are what make her the best. You can really tell from her work that she has a designer's eye and passion. She has knocked it out of the park every time I've called and is wonderful to collaborate with. Keep up the great work! read more

Brooke is incredibly talented, has a wonderful eye, and makes ordering flowers incredibly convenient. Her attention to detail is apparent in each arrangement. Once she has your card on file, you can text her orders of what you're looking for...doesn't get simpler than that. read more

Pollen Floral Art - Prettiest arrangement I've ever received! - Florists Near Me

I discovered Brooke of Pollen Floral Art at the HOPE Farmers Market a month or so ago. I was so very impressed by her very creative floral arrangements as I work in the same business of Horticulture. When I discovered that one of my clients (Vinson & Elkins) used her for their weekly changing cut floral arrangements I was not surprised as her flower arrangements really stand out from the others. In addition to cut flower arrangements that get changed out weekly for local businesses she does weddings, events and gift flower arrangements. From a possible competitor I highly recommend her for your flower arrangement needs! read more

Brooke is amazing! Not only does she create stunning floral arrangements, but she also provides prompt delivery service, is easy to work with, and has a great personality. I have ordered twice. The first time, I had the flowers sent to my girlfriend. That was a big hit! I was told that it was the nicest floral arrangement she has ever received, by far. The second order was a thank you gift for my next door neighbor. I never got to see the flowers, but I received a thank you card for my thank you gift. Need I say more? I will use Brooke whenever I order flowers in Austin. As a matter of fact, I find myself looking for excuses to send flowers because I have such an incredible connection now. read more

Seriously could not have imagined more beautiful flowers on my wedding day. From the bridesmaid bouquets to the pieces on the tables to my flower crown I couldn't have asked for anything more amazing. Thank you so much Jen & Brooke!!!! read more

Pollen Floral Art - Most beautiful bouquet I could have ever dreamed for - Florists Near Me

I really wanted to give Pollen Floral Art 5 stars, but a few things happened that made that not possible. The flowers that we discussed and the colors that I picked out aren't exactly what ended up being in my bouquet and flower crown. We also discussed the flowers being in a slightly cascading shape and that did not happen. They were still lovely and no one else knew what it should have looked like, but it wasn't my vision and it's a little frustrating that I didn't get to achieve it, even though I did pay for what was discussed. The second problem was that there weren't any pins for the boutonnieres delivered to our hotel room with the flowers. By the time we got to the venue and everyone realized that they had no way to pin the flowers on, there was nothing we could do. People tried to secure them in their jacket pockets, but of course it didn't work and it didn't look great. My husband lost his after the ceremony and so did my father. The money spent on them was basically wasted without having any pins to secure them with. Again, not a huge deal, but a bummer, and something I did pay for that didn't pan out. The small centerpieces that we had at the reception were beautiful. Jennifer was also beyond understanding and accommodating with our late return of the vases that we had rented. Despite the few issues, I would still recommend Pollen Floral Art. read more

I saw the great reviews on Yelp for Pollen so I pulled the trigger and ordered some flowers for my mother's birthday. The only details I gave Brooke were "she likes gardening and she likes pink" and she ran with it. My mother loved the bouquet, and is still talking about it several days later. If you are looking for a gorgeous arrangement with more interesting blooms than just roses or irises I highly recommend Pollen! read more

Pollen Floral Art - "She likes gardening and she likes pink" (the inspiration for this arrangement) - Florists Near Me

When I decided to ditch my DIY ambitions for my wedding flowers 2 months before my wedding, I started doing some research and calling a few florists whose work I really admired. Since it was so close to my wedding date, many of them were already booked - but the one common referral from each florist I called was for me to call Brooke from Pollen Floral Art. Everyone told me - "Call Brooke from Pollen Floral Art, she is so sweet and talented". I called Brooke and the rest is history! She was truly amazing to work with. We sat down for an initial meeting where we went through some of the ideas that I had for what I wanted, my budget, and looked through her past work and also a Pinterest board I had put together. She was so knowledgeable on what the names of specific flowers I was showing her were. As I was waiting for her to put together a quote for all of the flowers in the days after our initial consultation I went to some other flower shops around Austin to see what their quotes would be. The two other places I went to meet with did not have the professionalism or wealth of knowledge that even came close to Brooke's. Even before they gave me their quotes, I made the conscious decision that I wanted to work with Brooke for my wedding. The quote came back from Brooke and it confirmed everything - she managed to fit everything into my budget - I don't know how she did it - especially because the flowers I requested were mostly spring flowers and my wedding was in November! I had so much confidence in her that I found some extra wiggle room in my budget and splurged on larger centerpieces. She made the whole process so easy and painless. We had our final consultation before the wedding to confirm the design and flower type details and I left the rest in her hands. I made some interesting requests that she also worked really hard to accommodate. I had wanted to surprise my husband with alter pieces that incorporated birch bark (it was a personal sentimental thing between he and I) - and she went out of her way to find birch bark and had some really great ideas of how to incorporate it into the arrangement. The day of the wedding came and the work that Brooke did really blew me away. The flowers were AMAZING - I couldn't have dreamed them up any better. All of the delivery and set up went seamlessly and I didn't have to worry about anything - Brooke and her husband even helped move the altar pieces from the ceremony site to the reception site - the altar pieces doubled as large centerpieces for our serving tables. So in conclusion to this ridiculously long review - if you're trying to find a florist for your wedding or any event - Call Brooke - she was truly wonderful to work with! read more

Brooke and her team at Pollen Floral Art are incredible!! We heard about Brooke's talent via word of mouth and could not be happier with the wedding floral art she did for us! Her work is truly art...much more than arranging flowers together....she has an eye for impeccable design and attention to detail. She was absolute pleasure to work with!! Top quality and talent- impressed us beyond our dreams! Oh and how could we forget this detail- she made the cutest floral wreaths for our ring bearer and best dog- yep, two of our dogs were in the wedding and they wore the prettiest floral wreaths. perfection!! read more

Brooke did the flowers for our wedding ceremony and reception, and the results were incredible. She was kind, professional, very flexible, and sensitive to our budget constraints. But most important, her work was excellent. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Initially, I didn't even want flowers at our wedding, because I thought it was an unnecessary expense (come on, they die the next day, and do people even notice them?). But Pollen Floral Art has turned me into a floral believer. Brooke's arrangement were a perfect fit with our wedding venue (Kali Kate Pavilion), and they really made the ceremony and reception look "special." I have posted a few guest photos of the ceremony and reception arrangements so you can see some examples of Brooke's high-quality work (keep in mind that the succulent/tulip photos were taken the morning after the wedding). read more

Brooke was wonderful! She listened to every idea I had and made it come to life.

I highly recommend Brooke for your wedding. read more

Pollen Floral Art - Brooke created one of a kind book bouquet for my bridesmaids. - Florists Near Me

I found Pollen Floral Art via a little old fashioned research, and after seeing owner, Brooke's work around Austin. I was struck by her use of a wide range of flowers in both an organic and contemporary way. We got together for an initial meeting about my wedding several months out from the big day. She was incredibly enthusiastic and willing to put forth a product that would make me happy, even if it didn't reflect her style as much -- I'm not incredibly easy to deal with, as I tend to be quite specific. However, over the course of several months my ideas and plans for what I wanted our wedding to look like changed vastly. Brooke held on every step of the way and really understood my vision. She made at least one trial piece, and visited with me at our venue twice prior to the wedding. In the end, Brooke and her husband created the most amazing rehearsal dinner and wedding atmosphere that I could have imagined or asked for. Everyone was blown away by how beautiful and unique the arrangements were. She and her husband worked incredibly hard to ensure our wedding weekend looked and felt spectacular. I highly recommend Pollen Floral Art for everything from a simple Mother's Day arrangement, to a cocktail party, wedding or fundraiser. She and her husband proved to us that no task is too large for them to design, create and implement, flawlessly. I can't be thankful enough to them for what a beautiful product they put forth, and for how warm and professional they were each step of the way. Her portfolio is growing by the minute, so I suggest you book her now-- otherwise you might miss out! read more

Jennifer and team were so great to work with and captured exactly what I had in mind for the style of the flowers for our wedding in March. I wanted a bohemian feel but also modern, with unusual flowers and a slightly wild look. Needless to say, Pollen Floral Art NAILED IT. Everyone was talking about the flowers! When I saw my bouquet for the first time, all I could say was WOW! It. was. everything. I loved the bridesmaid bouquets and the centerpiece designs were ridiculously cool. I honestly could not have been happier with my flowers. I would highly recommend PFA and hope to have an event soon to use them again! read more

Pollen Floral Art created the most gorgeous bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, hair florals, table arrangements, accent table arrangements, etc. I would strongly recommend using them for your wedding. I received so many compliments on all of the arrangements. They really listened to our vision and what we wanted then made it come to life. Everything was more beautiful than I imagined. In addition to their talent, they were also a pleasure to work with; they very friendly and prompt throughout the whole process. I could not have been more impressed! read more

When I got engaged, the first thing I did was research florists (to me, floral arrangements are one of the best things to invest in for a wedding -- they add so much). The nice thing about shopping around for a florist is it's pretty much a visual decision at first. You look at some portfolio images, and hone in on what you like. I knew instantly I loved Brooke's / Pollen's work. I was addicted to her blog of images -- of fresh, healthy, gorgeous flowers mixed with fun, unique succulents / natural elements. I loved that the most simple arrangements could look so original and full of life. I knew that's exactly what I wanted. I didn't hesitate to call. I said earlier that shopping around for a florist is visual at first -- but it wasn't just the visuals that sold me. She understood what I was going for at our first meeting and just ran with it. I got married last month and I couldn't be happier about booking Brooke / Pollen Floral Art and working with her from start to finish. Brooke worked with my budget and made my wedding truly magical with her arrangements! I can't say enough good things. I was and still am thrilled (as the flowers will be in my pictures forever)! read more

Honestly there isn't enough that we could say about Brooke and her level of professionalism as well as her finished product. I was a florist for 5 years full time and she went above and beyond our expectations. The bouquets came out wonderful. We went with succulents and they turned out amazing!! Highly recommended!! Wedding: 03/28/2014 read more

Pollen Floral Art made my bridal bouquet and groom's boutonniere for my April wedding, and everything was perfect! Brooke was so easy to work with, and I felt that she understood my vision for the flowers. She also incorporated my lace into the ribbon around the stems, and everything was delivered right on time. It's always tricky trying to communicate what's in your head (even with the help of a Pinterest board), but Brooke captured what I wanted, and my bouquet was even more beautiful that I had envisioned it! She is a true artist who you can trust to create an arrangement you will love. read more

I adore Pollen! I adore Brooke! Brooke did all of the flowers for my wedding last year. I met with her a couple of times and discussed my 'vision' with her. Her flower knowledge is endless. She was a great listener and after our conversation she emailed me images that brought to life what I had described to her. It was perfect! Brooke created my bouquet, flowers and flower baskets for 5 flower girls AND boutonnieres and corsages for the groom, 2 ring bearers and both sets of parents. All gorgeous! They were the perfect mix of succulents and 'simple' pretty flowers. The colors were soft greens and whites. I had shown her an image of a flower that had a little bit of purple in it - from that she added a flower to my bouquet that gave a bit of edge and excitement to it. I loved it! Our venue allowed for a wedding outside and a reception inside. It was somewhat rustic feeling. There was a simple wood arch for the wedding ceremony. Brooke enhanced the arch pulling from the colors we had discussed and the nature around us. The arch looked amazing! I received tons of compliments on it from guests and the wedding venue organizer. The wedding venue contracted out for the table flowers. I was worried that they wouldn't be as elegant as Brooke's arrangements. At the last minute, the wedding venue offered to hire my florist. Brooke was amazingly accommodating and made it work. The table flowers were a cluster of bud vases of a variety of sizes and flowers that matched the arch and the wedding party's flowers. On the day of the wedding, Brooke set up everything WELL before the guests were due to arrive. Absolutely worry free for me. Brooke is an incredible artist. Since my wedding, I have hired her to do a wedding shower and a few personal arrangements for people. I have recommended her to many and am always excited whenever I think of an occasion to work with her again. read more

Our wedding & reception flowers were so gorgeous! We'd picked ivory peonies and anemones with dark blue centers, other blue, white, and yellow flowers and "interesting" accents like thistles and succulents. Our bouquets, wedding arbor, and centerpieces were even prettier than I could have imagined. Brooke was friendly, responsive, and professional (and kind of a mind-reader) and we really enjoyed working with her. read more

I 100% cannot say enough about how amazing it was working with Brooke at Pollen Floral Art for my wedding (I just got married 4/6/13). I did a consultation with another florist first and the difference between the first and Pollen was night and day in terms of understanding my vision. I wanted something very bohemian, textural, and loose with warm pastel colors. I did not have specific flowers in mind but I had a general vision of how I wanted the arrangements to look. I relied very heavily on the flowers to create the atmosphere for my wedding (at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center). I gave Brooke that direction and she INSTANTLY knew where to go. She showed me photos of different flowers and ideas and I knew right away that she would do an amazing job. She just GOT it where the other florist didn't. I got sooooo many compliments on the floral arrangements on the day of (and since then!). Some of my guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they had attended and I would attribute a great deal of that to the flowers. JUST STUNNING. I also knew that I wanted to wear a wreath of flowers on my head in place of a veil. Again, I wasn't exactly sure what flowers I wanted or how this would work, but I had a vision and she knew exactly what to do. I was a little worried that the flower wreath would look silly or TOO over the top, but she executed it BEAUTIFULLY. I felt like an absolute goddess wearing it. I loved it! (Now I just have to think of another occasion that it might be appropriate to wear a flower wreath, 'cause it rocked! hahaha) She was extremely nice, professional, and flexible throughout the planning process. Brooke is VERY prompt when responding to emails and questions. Any changes that we discussed, we did through email (because its easier for me. Not sure if this is how she always works with clients) and she always responded right away, unlike other vendors I worked with. She also continually revised her bid as we made changes to make sure that we were staying within budget. Brooke was just a dream to work with and I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. She was just fantastic. read more

Brooke is fabulous! I met with her and had no pictures, no references, just a vary vague concept for the whole wedding. She knew exactly what I wanted from that first meeting and executed it better than I could have imagined. We kept everything very clean and simple, so our flowers were really the only decoration at the ceremony and reception, and they looked effing beautiful. I was wowed every time I walked by them. We met with Brooke once after the initial consult, and even though we changed our minds a handful of times of where the ceremony would take place and what kind of arrangements we wanted, she was super patient and super helpful in offering her professional opinion. She also met us at the venue, no problem, so we could get a better idea of the big picture. She's super personable and easy to get along with, and even offered to clean up probably hundreds of loose rose petals after the reception (a rule instilled by our venue). After the reception, I wanted to keep a handful of the bouquets, but was too late in my request to my parents. So my parents tracked down Brooke's number, and ended up meeting her husband to get some of the flowers for my keepsakes. Super generous of both Brooke and her husband to help us out so last second. read more

Brooke is truly a gem to work with. I sought Brooke after researching many florist on Yelp and what I like about her work was the uniqueness. No one is doing what she does and that is what I sought most her creativity and uniqueness. I reached out to Brooke needing an over the top floral arrangement for a dear friends memorial; I did not want a traditional or boring arrangement. She listened very well asked a budget and then took it from there. The end result was just perfect and I cannot say enough of how pleasant she was to work with and her design was just perfect for the occasion. I have passed on her information to everyone that has asked me who did the flowers because that is how much I believe in her and her work. Thank you again Brooke for being so pleasant to work with and creating a work of art. read more

Pollen Floral Art - Florists Near Me

Brooke, from Pollen Floral Art was the florist I chose for my wedding in March 2011. She was recommended to my husband and I by our photographer Suzi. I had done a couple consultations with other florists before we met with her and I was pretty bummed about my options. Then we met her at Starbucks and she began asking questions about us and showing us her work. Not kidding, I became overwhelmed with emotion because it was so refreshing to see how passionate she was about what she does. The more I looked at the arrangements she had done in the past I knew she was my girl. Her work is art. It is creative and well thought out. I gave her my vision and then gave her freedom to do what she wanted. And omg it paid off. My arrangements were perfectly original and memorable. I hear most praises about the flowers and pictures from the guests that attended the wedding. And the people who see the pictures love love love the flowers. Hands down she is super talented and you can't go wrong with hiring her. My wedding was featured on the Project Wedding blog and I give high credit and thanks to Brooke from Pollen Floral Art and my photographer Suzi from Qweddings. http://m.projectwedding.com/real_wedding/show/paige-zach-austin-tx read more

Brooke and Jennifer are amazing, just unbelievably talented, and if you hire them you are in capable hands. Pollen did the flowers for our wedding, and even though I called them up a few months before the big day (after ditching DIY plans), they were able to fit us into their schedule. I had some pretty specific flower ideas in mind (colorful loose wildflower feel, more modern than traditional), and between a short meeting with Jennifer and a pinterest board of what I was envisioning, they were able to come up with something that was even better than I had imagined. We had our wedding in a garden setting, so we didn't do very much decorating, but those flowers made the venue feel warm, colorful, and happy (a challenge on a gray day where temperatures dipped into the 60's!). Jennifer was excellent at helping brainstorm ways to make the flower arrangements better fit our budget, which was really cool, since you can get a lot of side eye from folks when you mention a budget during wedding planning. I took a leap of faith and had them do a floral crown to wear on the wedding day instead of a veil, and I am SO glad I trusted them. The floral crown was stunning (and not too big! which is always a fear). Check these ladies out, you won't be disappointed! Also- just FYI, their storefront is on the east side next to the Canopy complex and the Sa-Ten coffee shop, not Hyde Park. read more

Oh wow. Where to even begin with so much awesomeness??? Pollen Floral Art did a superb job for my wedding this past April, and I would recommend them if you want a thorough and imaginative floral display for any event. We met with them and one another florist for consultations, and PFA knocked it out of the park immediately. They have this really sleek modern office that is perfectly suited to display their designs, and overall everyone who worked there had this professional yet cool and creative vibe. Both Jennifer and Brooke immediately understood and expanded upon the ideas that I brought to the table, and they got visibly excited while looking over my Pinterest board on the topic. I worried that the price estimate would be out of control, but it was really reasonable (according to a close relative who is a former florist) and they did a fantastic job bringing their ideas to life for both the rehearsal dinner and the big day. I am having some of my bouquet flowers pressed as I type this because they were far too beautiful not to keep. Win! read more

We used Brooke for our wedding flowers and I cannot say enough good things about her and her work.

Originately, a friend of mine was going to do our wedding flowers but wasn't able to do to a career change. Hate to say it but I'm so glad she wasn't able to! Brooke is amazing!!! The flowers were perfect and so much better then I thought they were going to be. She was so helpful and very professional to work with. She always got right back to me when I emailed her questions. Her pricing is great as well! She really worked with me on getting my flower in a range that I was comfortable with. I only wish that the flowers would have lasted forever! :O) I will definitely put her business card on my frig so my husband can call for delivery! :O) read more
