Someone then recommended B&B Floral and I stopped by their shop right away. I met with Jay, showed him pictures what wreaths the family wanted, including personalized ribbons, with no issues. I even entrusted Jay to make a corsage for Mom, which was beautifully made with a pink rose. I also referred B&B Floral to my friends and colleagues who wanted to send flowers to the service and they delivered! Even the succulent garden my coworkers ordered was beautifully made. After placing my order, I looked at their website and saw a wreath that I loved. Since it was the same price, Jay had no issues exchanging one of the wreaths with their design. My only regret was not ordering the casket spray from them which was more cost effective than what was ordered at the time we finalized Mom's services at the Funeral Home. Moral lesson, just go to B&B Floral you all your floral needs. Great local business, great value, with exception customer service!

From the first email with Liz to the time of pick-up, she was knowledgeable and professional. We had multiple email exchanges and she provided excellent feedback and recommendations for my order. My cousin created the design and my fiancée was able to offer his input so it was really nice to come up with an amazing product together. I am so glad I decided to go with my own wedding design + Dependable Letterpress for my invites versus going through an online company. It was cheaper and I learned so much more about the process as well as being able to see my vision come to life. In terms of prices, you really get what you pay for. The quality is top notch! Also, since I am local, I was able to pick up my order and save on shipping costs. They also have a fairly quick turnaround. As a lover of stationary, my invitations meant a lot to me and I am so glad I found this company. Can't wait to work with them on my programs and thank you cards.

I was so excited to open the box and find the most beautiful, stunning floral arrangement I have ever seen. The packaging used displays them in the most perfect manner. I wanted to eat them, however, they are not edible, even though they appear to be :p. I don't know how they do it, but how amazing is it that these exquisite pieces last for over a year?! Also included in the package were the instructions on how to take care of them: do not expose to direct sunlight or dust; no watering (thank God because I kill most living things); and do not place anything on top of the roses. They're as simple as that. Bahar is such a pleasure to speak with. She's pleasant and responds diligently. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for your flower needs with any sort of event. These flowers would also be amazing for Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, anniversaries and any other reason to celebrate (hint to all you fellows out there). Just saying, get your credit cards ready because this is what you're looking for :D. They're vibrant, sexy, and outstanding!

Where do we even begin? Ash + Oak brought our Dutch Masters vision to life in a way that truly took…read moreour breath away. From the moment we walked in on our wedding day, the florals were nothing short of stunning and dripping with the elegance we had always imagined. What set Ashley and Katie apart was their extraordinary attention to detail. Every arrangement was thoughtfully crafted, but what really blew us away was that they customized each table arrangement to match the theme of its individual table card. Guests loved it so much that they made it a mission to see what each and every table looked like. It's that level of care and artistry that elevates florals into something truly unforgettable. Ashley and Katie's quality, professionalism, and creative talent speak for themselves. They listened, they understood our vision, and then they exceeded it (and even came in clutch for a last second arrangement for the bridal shower)! Six months later, people still talk about how they have never seen flowers as beautiful as they saw at our wedding. If you are looking for a florist who approaches their craft like a true artist, we cannot recommend Ash + Oak highly enough.

When it was my turn to get married, I asked for a quote but couldn't get myself to spend thousands of dollars on flowers, so I ended up using another florist for my COVID wedding ceremony. Almost a year later we had our delayed wedding reception and after planning one wedding, I decided to spend money the second time around on things I loved - the top being flowers. I hired Ash + Oak this time and I was SO PLEASED. Not only did they provide beautiful flowers for us on our wedding day, but they were also extremely professional leaving me with little to worry about outside of telling them the color scheme I preferred. They worked with my day-of-coordinator for arrival time and when I arrived at my reception, all the flowers were in place. I had seen many photos, so I trusted their design and gave them little instruction. I asked them for a summery feel with a romantic color pallet with blush, mauve, accents of yellow/blue and they delivered! I couldn't stop staring at the wedding bouquet when we were taking photos!! I received so many complements (including from my grand-aunt who is extra picky about flowers). I am so thankful for their craft, design, and eye. Looking back at the photos of the flowers makes my heart so happy! Thank you Ash + Oak!
