After I did not hear from her, however, I decided to give her a quick call to make sure she received the form on her end. What a mistake that was... My excited bubble quickly popped when Gina greeted me with a very pessimistic view on my budget and experiences vetting other florists prior to talking to her as she made a ton of excuses for both herself and another florist who completely stopped talking to me in the middle of our planning process. Instead of trying to get to know me and additional details related to our wedding, Gina proceeded to leverage herself as being in high-demand and encouraging me to look at more 'basic' florists as she is really 'top-notch' and 'the best of the best.' Additionally, she told me that she responded to my message multiple times (which she never did), and also felt the need to tell me that she's not going to communicate regularly if we do decide to choose her saying, and I quote, 'If communication is what you're looking for, you're not going to get it here. That's not my style!' I do not recommend Gina purely based on her SEVERE lack of professionalism and poor approach to talking to a potential new client. Update: I did post this within an hour of speaking to Gina on the phone because, quite frankly, I was appalled. While she did state that she was "Go with the flow," she also made it clear that she would not be communicating regularly as that is not how she operates with the quote above. In regards to her comment below about flower shortages and her "assistance in my journey to find a florist," that's a nice way to put it but the reality is that she pushed me away from the beginning of the conversation to the very end. I will re-state that I do not recommend Gina purely based on her SEVERE lack of professionalism and poor approach to talking to a potential new client.

They created my wife's bridal bouquet, my boutonniere, and the flowers for my dad, stepfather, and father-in-law, and every single piece was absolutely beautiful. The quality, attention to detail, and craftsmanship were outstanding. My wife's bouquet was elegant and exactly what we had hoped for, and the boutonnieres were perfectly made and looked incredible on our wedding day. What stood out most was the genuine compassion and generosity they showed us throughout the process. It's rare to find a business that not only creates beautiful floral arrangements but also treats people with such kindness and respect. The value he provided was immeasurable. We are truly grateful for everything they did and will always remember how much their work meant to us. If you're looking for a florist who is incredibly talented and genuinely cares about the people they serve, I wholeheartedly recommend Michael William Florist & Greenhouse.

My only brother got married a few days ago on the east coast, and I was so sad that I couldn't…read moreattend due to the pandemic. I live on the west coast, so I had to get creative about showing up to the wedding somehow. I decided to "be there" in flowers and offered to make floral arrangements for my brother and his bride. I found Alisha Simone Elegant Event Flowers & Decor. I was excited to support this amazing Black-owned business. I called many florists in Collingswood, and Alisha Simone was the most thoughtful florist I spoke to on the phone. Very kind and professional. She listened and connected with me on a human level, empathizing with my inability to attend my brother's wedding. She was hopeful that she could support me and make the flowers a special offering, a token of my love. Alisha Simone certainly delivered, and I've been singing her praises ever since. To be safe during COVID-19, the wedding was small. I explained to Alisha that it was a party of 8 people including the bride and groom, the parents, the maid of honor, and best man. Alisha worked with me on figuring out the best flowers for each person involved and sent me a portfolio of sample arrangements for the bouquets as well as boutonnières. I could tell that it was going to be special working with her, because she had asked me what the bride's dress looked like, how tall my brother was, his build, their heights, etc. She explained that she tries to tailor the floral arrangements to match the same style and mood of the bride and groom. Her attention to detail meant the world to me. The bride wanted a mostly blue bouquet with white flowers, she had mentioned hydrangeas but was also open to any soft blue flower. I really wanted to make sure the bride would be happy with her bouquet. Alisha was brilliant, she recommended delphinium. But I was worried that it wasn't going to be enough blue for the bride if we just used delphinium. I had heard that hydrangeas wilt faster, but Alisha worked hard to accommodate the bride's wishes. She also affirmed the need to add hydrangeas to provide texture. So she said that she could put hydrangeas in small water tubes so they could stay fresh in the bouquet throughout the day. She assured me that nothing would spill if she set the bouquet down. As you can see, the bridal bouquet consisted of white roses, delphinium, some hydrangeas, and some greenery. On the day of her wedding, the bride was so happy! She felt that the bouquet was perfect. Alisha really listened to the bride's needs and my concerns. The groom's boutonnière had a wonderful soft blue accent to match the bridal bouquet, while the rest of the party had uniform white roses with some greenery. The bride had asked for the mothers to have corsages, but we went with petite bouquets instead when Alisha mentioned that the corsages might die faster and become a nest of dead flowers without the stems to dip in water. This was a really good point. Alisha kept in mind that the weather would be hot, and if the wedding party was going to be in three different locations (ballroom, church, house) then it might be better for the mothers to have petite bouquets. That way, she said, they could put them in water throughout the day and then take home their bouquets to enjoy them longer. I loved this suggestion so much. This shows just how thoughtful Alisha is as a florist. Alisha Simone is a florist that you can trust. She has my highest recommendation, and I would definitely work with her again. You will feel cared for as you plan your wedding. If you're long distance (like me) and you'd like to deliver flowers in Collingswood or the greater Philadelphia area, you will appreciate Alisha's clear communication. We were in touch by phone and email. The payment process was easy. Anyways, I wish I could've been at the wedding in person. But it was such an honor to celebrate my brother and new sister-in-law through the flowers that they held/wore on their special day. Thank you, Alisha. We're all so grateful for you, and we wish you tremendous success. I hope you thrive!
