How has no one raved about this place yet???
Let's get one thing straight. I'm not even the kind of girl who likes flowers (a.k.a. generic-waste-of-money-gifts-that-will-die-in-a-few-days), let alone the kind of girl who grew up dreaming about what her wedding day would look like (I was too busy playing Street Fighter II) . . . but I fell in love with Stoneblossom Floral & Event Design.
I absolutely dreaded having to make phone calls about my bridal bouquet. I decided to start phoning a few places to get quotes. I figured that I would go with the cheapest vendor and call it quits.
Wrong.
Moira from Stoneblossom gave me a more expensive ballpark bouquet quote than the other vendors, but she stayed on the phone with me the longest. She was so attentive and patient, in spite of my lack of preparedness (Example: Her: "What kind of bouquet do you want?" Me: "I don't know, something white?" LOL). Since I wasn't in front of my computer at the time, she encouraged me to give her a call when I WAS sitting screen-side, so that we could look at bouquets together online. It was important to her that I get a feel for what I wanted. I could immediately tell that she wouldn't be the type of vendor who would sell me the most expensive arrangement, or shove her own vision onto me.
I wasn't able to call her back that day, but I spent the rest of the weekend reading about various flowers and their meanings. I probably wouldn't have gotten into it without Moira's initial encouragement. I stumbled across a photo of a bouquet that looked fitting, and I decided that I would see if I could customize it with gardenias, orchids, and lily-of-the-valley.
The following week, I shared my ideas with Moira. She went the extra mile to make sure that we could get lily-of-the-valley since they were not yet in season (Stoneblossom ordered them from Holland, holla!), and I was so appreciative of all the time she spent with me on the phone and via e-mail.
On our actual wedding day, the flowers were delivered on time. We couldn't have been more impressed with the customer service that we received (even the proposal they had sent us about a week prior was detailed and lovely).
Thank you, Moira and the Stoneblossom team! read more
