B&G Sawin Florist

Barbara is awesome!! She put us at ease in our very first visit. We had some concerns because we needed to include a decorated chuppah (which adds to the cost significantly). Barbara was able to have tons of flowers and stick with in our budget at the same time! Her eye for color and attention to detail (who wraps the pedestal in moss?!) were noticed by us and all of our guests. We highly recommend Barbara/B&G Sawin to anyone in need of flowers for any occasion!

Barbara was amazing to work with. She saw my vision for our wedding flowers even better than I did! She was easy to plan with and her work was beautiful (as always). What more could a bride ask for?

B&G deserve the highest marks for their professionalism and the quality of their work. They went the extra mile to make our wedding truly special. The flowers were gorgeous and Barbara and George were gracious and easy to work with. They helped enable us to truly enjoy or wedding by making sure every detail was taken care of. We didn't have to worry about a thing!

Sawin Florist went way over and above our expectations. They were very receptive to our wishes and helped us establish a vision for our event. Barbra and George were a pleasure to work with and took care of all the details so we could enjoy our special day. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a hassle free experience and beautiful flowers on your wedding day.

It is no wonder that B&G Sawin Florist has earned such a prestigious reputation in the floral industry.
Their flowers were exquisite for my son Michael's wedding to Cheryl on June 30th at the Essex Yacht Club.
Their creativity, attention to detail and professionalism are above reproach. Barbara and George have an innate sense of what needs to be done beyond 'the order' including establishing a working rapport with all of the other vendors and solving problems quickly and quietly behind the scenes.
I thank them from the bottom of my heart for making our day breathtakingly beautiful and will remain forever grateful.

It might be because I'm a picky bride, but I was not thrilled with the flowers. I am one of those annoying brides who brings in pictures of exactly what I want. I sent Barbara a link and asked her to make the flowers look just like that. On the wedding day, I was disappointed. Were the arrangements pretty? Yes. She did a nice job. However, they did not look like what I asked for. I understand miscommunications when brides try to explain what they're thinking, but I had given her pictures, so I'm not sure why her outcome looked different. Prices are reasonable, so go with B&G Sawin if you are happy to let them style the flowers.

When we first got engaged, my husband (fiance' at the time) and I were looking for florists - we met with one that was a preferred vendor of our venue, but she didn't seem to fit what we were looking for. He then suggested B&G Sawin, primarily because his office was just down the hall from their shop. So we looked them up online and loved what we saw on their website, and figured it was worth a shot.

From the minute we met Barbara, she was nothing but accommodating and open minded to every request and idea we came up with. We had decided we wanted to incorporate birch into our flower scheme, to go along w/ the rustic feeling of the wedding, and she went right along with it. We even went so far as to print off an idea for vases made out of birch sticks that we had found on some wedding video website we stumbled apon - the picture was awful, all pixelated and blurry, and not only did she tell us she could replicate these, she probably made them even better than what we had seen on the wedding video. They were absolutely perfect - everything we had wanted and then some. She carried out our green and white color scheme with so many different types of flowers, ones that I had never even seen before, but that were absolutely perfect. And probably the best part of all was that she kept us in the loop throughout the planning process, making up a sample for us to look at and see if we liked, and even letting us come in and look at the birch vases to make sure it was what we had in mind.

I would recommend B&G Sawin in heartbeat - not only are they extremely talented in what they do, but, they are willing and able to meet with any budget and extremely open minded to all ideas, no matter how crazy! Thank you Barbara - you exceeded our expectations and hopes by leaps and bounds and we could never thank you enough for adding such beautiful flowers to our special day :)

Barbara and George did a wonderful job with our flowers. I could not be happier! They perfectly interpreted our vision and the value was tremendous for a Boston florist.

Barbara showed her talent and unending patience as we prepared for my daughter's wedding. She listened to what my daughter wanted, what I would like to see and created an amazingly beautiful flower experience for us. Every change called in was graciously accepted and encorporated flawlessly. Delivery was right on time, well coordinated and beyond expectation as Barbara helped to plan the entire distribution of the flowers right down to pinning them on the ushers. We could not have asked for more. The flowers were beautiful and, as a side note, well treated so that they dried beautifully. I and others are able to still enjoy them today. Thank you Barbara for the obvious passion you have for your work and for making the bride's experience so perfect.

My niece, Kimberlee & husband, Dan's wedding was pre-hurricane Irene, necessitating a change from an outdoor to indoor setting, a great disappointment especially for Kim.

However, the day was beautiful...owed in part to the stunning flower arrangements from corsages, bouquets, Church & reception settings...I/we strongly recommend you consider Barbara & George Sawin for your special day!!!

From the minute we met with Barbara to the very end of the wedding reception, every single petal or leaf on each flower was perfectly selected and arranged, just as we had discussed! Choosing Sawin Florist was a wise decision on our part! They were not only willing, but extremely flexible in adding or subtracting, redesigning and coordinating each bridesmaid's bouquet, table arrangements and church decor for our wedding. Very close to the wedding, we decided to have the front reception table decorated with a gorgeous tall branch grouping, dripping with crystals and candles. What a dramatic effect this made to welcome our guests to the reception. You won't be sorry you chose B & G Sawin to select and arrange flowers for your wedding since you could spend more elsewhere, but won't be as satisfied!

WOW! B&G Sawin are awesome. They met all our needs and worked within our budget. You wouldn't have guessed how much we spent for all we received! I expressed my likes and wishes and they delivered. I highly recommend them!

Barbara,the owner of B&G Sawin Florist, really listened to me and she had excellent suggestions on how to make the church look beautiful with her gorgeous flower arraignments. I will defenitely recommend her to anyone !

My husband and I learned of Barbara and George Sawin through the Allston Open Studios a year prior to planning our wedding, and I knew right away I had found the florist for my wedding after seeing samples of their work in their professional studio space. Barbara’s tenured experienced and easy-going nature made decisions about the floral arrangements a breeze. We spoke openly and comfortably of my budget, and kept all costs right on track. When I suggested a floral variety for my bouquet that wasn’t in season (peonies), Barbara would have been able to get them, and she also offered a cost-effective alternative that was almost identical in style. I was very grateful for the two options.

My wedding was non-traditional (cocktail party-style) and required a variety of different-sized arrangements, including a chuppah. Not only did Barbara's designs match my vision and the venue, but her and George's execution was seamless. All the arrangements were perfectly placed when we arrived. After the ceremony when the ceremony space needed to be "turned over", they helped move the arrangements and break-down the chuppah for party-time without guests being aware of the hard work occurring behind the scenes. Throughout the night, the arrangements and bouquets held up beautifully, and looked just as great as they did when we first arrived at the venue. You will be delighted if you hire B&G Sawin Florist for your wedding!

Barbara and George are fantastic. Very helpful, reasonable and responsive. Arrangements more beautiful than we could have imagined. Great ideas about what would look right at our venue. Can't say enough about them.They are the best!

Barbara was a pleasure to work with. Everything was perfect and she made the process easy and painless.

Did our wedding in 2009. Took our many, general vague ideas and translated them into a classic elegance that we couldn't have even imagined!

Low maintenance and open to my ideas. I wasn't too specific and was incredibly pleased with my floral arrangements. I felt like I didn't have to worry about anything.

Barbara and George are always awesome but gave me exactly what I wanted, and actually helped me with suggestions with ONE week's notice! Super flexible, gorgeous arrangements and they were super attentive.

My experience with B&G Sawin Florist was wonderful and they exceeded my expectations. They were able to get the exact flowers that I wanted and incorporated some great ideas that I hadn't even thought of! Barbara was great to work with and really guided me through the process from start to finish which really kept my mind at ease and I never had to worry or stress about my flower arrangements. She even allowed my Grandmother to come into the shop and work on my bouquet with her which made it even more special. My arrangements are still something the guests remember and loved and I will continue to recommend B&G Florist to all the brides I know!

We only ordered a small amount of flowers for the wedding, but they did a beautiful job for a VERY reasonable price. The flowers came out exactly how I imagined them!

I cannot say enough about B&G Sawin Florist. Barbara took my few vague requests and created a vision beyond my most beautiful dreams. Barbara's talent and professionalism is outstanding and she is backed by an equally as amazing staff. Not only were my flowers stunning, but so was my wedding cake. After days of thinking over my cake decor, I decided that I wanted Sawin's to decorate my cake with similar flowers as my arrangements and bouquets. I have been married for over 2 years and I am still getting compliments on my flowers and cake. I could not have been more pleased. I highly recommend Sawin's for every type of occasion.

My husband and I had all of our wedding flowers done by B&G Sawin Florist. We could not have been happier with our decision. Our gorgeous wedding flowers did more to enhance our event than any other detail. The professionals at B&G created bouquets and centerpieces that exceeded my expectations and took my breathe away. I would recommend B&G to any bride looking for exceptional design at a wonderful value.

The flowers for our wedding were gorgeous beyond belief...beyond what we could have imagined.

B & G Sawin Florists listened to my ideas and created gorgeous bouquets, centerpieces, wreaths and other floral accents that fit beautifully into the themes of our wedding. They went above and beyond our expectations. Many of our guests complimented the flowers and were so impressed by them. I highly recommend these florists for your special day!

b&g supplied the flowers for a wedding up in boston that i was a photographer at and they did a great job. they took care of the outdoor ceremony (which was actually an outdoor theater) and did it perfectly. the flowers looked like they fit just right and they utilized the outdoor space very well. nice job....
