Bouquets by Bonnie

Bonnie did a fantastic job of putting bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces together for my wedding last year. She worked with me to understand what I wanted, and included specific flowers and details I loved with other details that filled out the arrangements. Everything looked amazing, and all within my modest budget.

I can’t say enough good things that even come close to how happy I was with the flower arrangements that Bonnie created for our wedding. From day one she was incredibly easy to talk to, brainstorm ideas with, and she never EVER tried to nickel and dime us. As many brides will encounter, the wedding industry is indeed a business, and most vendors will add on the extra «$$$» when they hear the word «wedding.» This was not the case with Bonnie; she did all the arrangements we wanted and stayed within our budget. She also stayed in contact with me for the entire 11 months we were planning our wedding — she even responded to me while she was on vacation in Hawaii! On the day of our wedding she was at the venue early to ensure she had enough time to set up all the flower arrangements for the ceremony, our cake, and the reception, in addition to delivering the bouquets to the bridal parlor and the boutonnieres to the groomsman parlor. All the flowers were fresh, not wilted. The flower berm she designed for our head table was absolutely stunning! If you are a bride looking for a reasonably priced florist who produces stunning flower designs for your big day, then look no further than Bouquets by Bonnie. You will not be disappointed!

Bonnie was seriously the best florist I could’ve asked for. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and made the whole process fun and exciting. I had met with a few florists before Bonnie and talked to several over the phone, as well as looking at tons of florists online, and as soon as I met Bonnie, I felt at ease and really got along well with her. My mom and I met with Bonnie a couple times to go over ideas and Bonnie was so responsive and enthusiastic to my vision and ideas. She really just seemed to intuitively get what I wanted, and I was thrilled with her ideas. She had amazing suggestions for flowers to use that were in my color scheme and she had lots of different fun and unique centerpiece ideas to pick from. She even had a binder of flower ideas/​clippings and photos she’s done organized by colors to look at. Sometimes it can be difficult to describe what you’re looking for and she made that process a lot easier as well. For our second meeting, she had even pulled several ideas she thought I’d like and I was really impressed. She sent me several emails with flowers she thought I’d like or vases she’d seen, and she had me send her photos of my dress and the bridesmaid dresses so the flowers would compliment us well. Bonnie is incredibly creative and has an eye for detail.
A little about our wedding: We had our wedding at Green Gables and had a blush/​mint color scheme, with some pops of bright pink. We wanted a vintage, romantic, garden wedding with flowers to match and Bonnie made that happen. The types of flowers Bonnie chose were perfect and were soft and romantic like I wanted. I loved my bouquet and the bridesmaids loved theirs. The mothers loved the nosegays (smaller bouquets) Bonnie did for them and the grandmothers loved their corsages. I had several guests tell me the flowers were the most beautiful they’d ever seen. Everyone was incredible impressed. My dad said they were the most beautiful flowers he’d ever seen at a wedding (and he’s been to a lot of weddings!), and he loved each individual rose. The archway Bonnie created for the gazebo was the most gorgeous I’ve ever seen. The centerpieces were alternated between flower-​adorned gorgeous vintage-​looking candelabras (with surrounding mini vases), and rustic lantern centerpieces with flowers inside. I can’t give justice to how beautiful they were, so make sure to look at the pictures She also decorated Manzanita trees on either side of the sweetheart table with crystals, pearls, and flowers. My mom and I were the ones primarily working with Bonnie, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She worked with our budget and suggested ways to be the most cost-​effective. And it was fun and stress-​free (definitely what you want as a bride)!
An absolute pleasure, Bonnie. Thank you for making our Big Day perfect!

While there were many aspects of my wedding I had all worked out in my mind, flowers were definitely not one of them! Bonnie has been wonderful in walking me through every step, from the initial color pallet and «feel» of the centerpieces to the containers, arch for the ceremony, flowers for the bathrooms, etc. She thinks of it all! Bonnie has been very responsive to all of my questions, respectful of our budget and so creative! From rustic barn weddings to beautiful all-​white ballroom events, her portfolio shows great range. Unlike some vendors who don’t give you a second thought until a few months out, Bonnie continues to send me updates when she finds something for the wedding while out shopping or at the flower wholesale shops. She is really just wonderful! Will update on delivery and setup after the wedding…
