I cannot convey how wonderful Anthony and Heather are! Not only did they create our perfect wedding- they made it better than we could of imagined!! If you are planning a wedding, party, ANY function- call Bay Bouquet! Best people in Tampa!! Hands DOwn!!
GUEST




We can't thank Anthony and his designers enough for what they did for our wedding. Without them we would have never had the ceremony and reception that we ended up with. From planning ahead for the rain so the flowers could seamlessly be used in the Music Room at the University of Tampa to the flower and table arrangements at the Lafayette Room at Mise En Place to his vision of how everything could best come together, it was truly amazing and something we won't ever forget!
The flower arrangements at the Lafayette Room were simply beautiful and even better than we ever imagined. Meagan's bouquet, as well as the bridesmaid's bouquets, were absolutely gorgeous. Our guest continue to talk about them, and especially the table arrangements. Hopefully our photographer was able to get some great pictures of everything they did.
Again, we can't say enough about what they did for us and really appreciate everything they did to make our wedding that more special.

If I could rate Tony higher than a 5, I would!! I'm not the girl that always dreamed of being married, and planning a wedding was the last thing I wanted to do. After my first meeting with Tony- I became exciting about planning a wedding! He has such a passion, and knowledge for what he does not only as a florist but as a designer. Any idea I had, he met it with equal enthusiasm and matched and even exceeded my vision! I was planning my wedding during the busy valentines day rush, and I didn't have the opportunity to sit down with Tony until a couple weeks before to plan out everything. I was not worried at all, for one because he was a preferred vendor for The Florida Aquarium where I got married- but also because I could just tell he was someone I could count on. He worked with my budget, which wasn't that high at all- and even took care of some after wedding details for me that I couldn't take care of because I was on my honeymoon. Tony is Great! There's not much more I can say!
GUEST




I can't say enough about Bay Bouquet!! From the moment I met Tony I felt at ease! They took my vision of bouquets and centerpieces and my price range and ran with it- and I felt totally comfortable with that at a time I was nitpicking every last detail! When I saw the bouquets and centerpieces for the first time I was stunned!! Way above and beyond!! Tony even came into my dressing room to give me a kiss and make sure all was perfect!! I recommend them to everyone now and will only use them in the future!!

Bay Bouquet was phenominal! I had initially planned on using a friend of a friend, but that didn't work out too well. My mother and I had met with the "friend" and I was very upset, to say the least, after our first consultation. Flowers, to me, were one of the most important part of my wedding.
After that consultation with the "friend", I mentioned to my mother that a friend of mine had recommended we check out Bay Bouquet. My mother and I actually decided to go straight over to Bay Bouquet, without any appointment, and met with Anthony and his crew. It was almost time for the shop to close and that didn't matter a bit to them. They stayed late and about 45 minutes later, we had all of the flower arrangements finished!
The crew was just amazingly creative!!! I was looking for a florist that I could simply tell what flowers I wanted to include in my wedding and let them bring their ideas to me. That's exactly what I got from Bay Bouquet! From the bridal bouquets to the center pieces...their creativity was just astonishing!
Also, a major plus with Bay Bouquet...they are 100% trustworthy and reliable. I never once thought "are they going to back out on me or forget about my order?" It was very easy to communicate with Anthony and his crew, whether it was via email, phone calls, or text messages. I couldn't have asked for any easier wedding day with them. I received a text message from Anthony the day before the wedding wanting to know the hotel room he was going to be dropping off the flowers in. I responded with the number and the next thing I knew, my flowers were being delivered on my wedding day without any hassell.
I chose ivory roses and blue hydrangeas for my wedding. Bay Bouquets flowers were stunning and I received numerous compliments at my wedding and days to follow. Thanks for everything BB!!!

Anothony is a GOD send! :) He truly was my most important vendor, and my most helpful vendor. He listened to my vision, was excited WITH me about my vision, and ensured me that no matter what we would make it happen. My budget was not big for flowers but yet was one of the most important details to me. He made sure each detail came to life on my wedding day. He drew diagrams for my bridesmaids as we had to save $ by not having him set up at the venue. He let me borrow equipment and was just as professional, kind, creative and personable as he could be! He was easy to talk to and quick to respond. I had 200% confidence in him from DAY ONE, truly. He is so creative and passionate about his skill that he made it SO easy. His knowledge of not only the flower industry, but the wedding industry, was so helpful in my planning as a whole. He didn't just ask flower questions; he contributed to the entire creative feel of my vision for our wedding day. A million thanks to Anthony and his team at Bay Bouquet. They are truly the best artists for any event! We were so blessed by him.
GUEST




We worked with Anthony at Bay Bouquet. I can't say enough positive things about everything that he did for us. We gave him a budget to work with and he not only helped us stay under our budget but he made everything absolutely PERFECT. From the bouquets to the centerpieces, to the linens our wedding was more than I could have imagined. He took our vision and made it a reality. I would reccommend his services to anyone. Thank you Bay Bouquet for making our wedding more than I could have dreamed!
GUEST




Bay Bouquet, Anthony and Jay are AMAZING!!!! We booked them right off the bat 16 months prior to our wedding. They're so creative and imaginative, you couldn't ask for any more if you're looking for a unique vibe for your wedding. They're great at working within any budget and can make every bride's dream come true! Anthony went as far as to change out our table runners a couple days before the wedding as he didn't like the way they fit with the overall look he had in his mind. And no surprise, it was BEAUTIFUL! They even took some of the extra flowers and made me a piece to be delivered the morning of from my husband-to-be! These men and their design team are the cream of the crop of florist and I would recommend them for any event!!
GUEST




We absolutely LOVED working with Anthony!!! He has an amazing personality, which made the world of difference and was something I was looking for when looking for vendors. Within a few minutes of talking about the wedding he captured exactly what I was wanting for my wedding and he came through. All the flowers were fresh and the David Austins he recommended had the most amazing smell ever!!!! I can't wait to use them again!!!!
GUEST




Ok.... so you know how everyone tells you that when you are shopping for your wedding dress you will know THE dress as soon as you put it on? That is exactly the feeling I had when I met Tony and J from Bay Bouquet. The second I met them I knew I had found my florist (and new friends) In one word Bay Bouquet is breathtaking! They took my little vision and turned it into the most beautiful creation. When I saw my bouquet I wanted to scream with joy. It was as if Tony had crawled into my brain and picked out exactly what I wanted. The small attention to detail in every inch of the decorations made a huge statement. I have never heard so many wedding guests, even guys, compliment the flowers and table decorations. I could not have imagined anything more perfect than the flowers Bay Bouquet did for me. Amazing, beautiful, perfect and fabulous are not nearly good enough adjectives for the work Bay Bouquet does. My advise...try them for yourselves, you will not be disappointed.
GUEST




From the moment I met the owner of Bay Bouquet, Tony, I knew I found the perfect florist for our special day! He and everyone else at Bay Bouquet were amazing to work with. Unlike other florists I met, Tony did not present me with a book of choices from prior weddings to pick from. Instead, he took the time to get to know me, my fiance, and our style. From there, he created something truly unique, personal, and spectacular for our day. Bay Bouquet is in a class all of their own!
GUEST




From the initial consultation with Anthony, to the finished design, Bay Bouquet was amazing! They understood exactly what I wanted and worked within my budget to meet our needs. The quality of their design and flowers is exceptional! Going with Bay Bouquet for our wedding was the best decision and we will continue to use them for any of our future florist needs.
GUEST




Lovely and creative work. They were very responsive in helping us to stretch a budget while still getting a wow factor. Helped us to work with our vendor to improve the layout for the reception. Tony's knowledge of the Florida Acquarium was very helpful as well as his knowledge on the linens. He made many great suggestiions that we didn't know to ask and the Acquarium staff hadn't offered.Helped us to coordinate services so we didn't have to worry about anything. Everything looked wonderful and we received many compliments on the decor. I think the best compliement is that my daughter the bride said "It was just as I had envisioned it would look".
GUEST




Anthony and Jay were absolutely amazing. I happen to be one of those brides, who really wasnt that into the planning process and got overwhelmed easily when it came to envisioning my wedding day. When I met Anthony he helped me find exactly what I wanted and made it fun and exciting to plan my big day. The bouquets were beautiful and the table setting were FABULOUS and extremely artistic, my guests were comenting on them throughout the whole day.
GUEST




Tony and his coworkers do a fabulous job making your vision come to life. They take you color scheme and favorite flowers and come up with beautiful new designs. He will make the most of your budget with gorgeous flowers.
GUEST




My flowers were beautiful! I loved my bouquets and the arrangement for the niche was gorgeous! I loved the guest table centerpieces and Tony had the great idea of crystal vases by the cake for our bouquets to decorate that table and extend our budget. I really appreciated his creativity and excitement for my event. My only disappointment was our large family table "tablescape" which had minimal flowers and was supposed to be the focus of the reception. But I love Tony and Jay and all they did for us it was a spectacular wedding. Thank you!
GUEST




I used Bay Bouquet for the wedding party flowers and flowers for the head table. Anthony was awesome to work with; he made sure I stayed within my budget and suggested certain alternatives to help me achieve the look I was going for. Everything turned out beautiful and I was really happy with the work they did.
GUEST




When it came time for my sister's wedding there was no hesitation when it came to the decor, Bay Bouquet was the only option. My sister is a very special individual and someone as amazing as her deserved an event that showcased her taste, personality, and the love shared between her and her husband. Bay Bouquet was able to capture that essence effortlessly. The wedding itself was outdoors and she wanted a simple, soft wedding, and a very edgy reception. When I heard about the things she was looking to incorporate in the day, I have to admit I was worried that the look would come off as a bit too macabre, however Tony and Jay were able to turn it into nothing short of a shining example of elegance and individuality. She was married under an archway with orchids strung at different lengths (that look amazing in photos!). The reception hall went from a bit outdated to sleek, edgy, and sexy; the perfect contrast to the outdoor garden ceremony. I will continue using Bay Bouquet for all of my floral needs and have referred all of my friends and family to do the same. Thank you gentlemen for making my sister's fairytale wedding come to life!
GUEST




Bay Bouquet dealt with me entirely over the phone and email for my destination wedding and was FANTASTIC! They were extremely flexible, kind, accomidating, excellent listeners, and the result exceeded my expectations.
GUEST




Bay Bouquet made my dream wedding day come true. They went above and beyond and literally made my vision of what my flowers would look like on my day into the real thing.
Everyone should use them, they are wonderful!
GUEST




The bridal bouquets and centerpieces were absolutely beautiful and received many compliments from our guests. Tony always showed us that our wishes were his priority and he was determined to make our visions a reality. He is truly a creative designer and has lots of unique ideas to help this happen.
GUEST




Our flowers turned out AMAZING! My bouquet was beautiful and absolutely perfect. Tony did an incredible job helping us decide on the centerpiecs. He put together beautiful tall and short centerpieces for our reception. We had many compliments on all of the flowers at our wedding. Thank you for creating such spectacular arrangements. I would highly recommend Bay Bouquet for your wedding.
GUEST




Bay Bouquet provided all the flowers and centerpieces for our recent wedding at honeymoon island. They were so great in giving us fresh new ideas about what we could do that would be to our liking yet different and unique, something we hadn't already seen before. They were willing to take the time to sit down with us and answer all our silly questions to make sure everything was perfect on our big day. They were willing to work with us on the pricing and were very flexible when i would make last minute changes before they ordered everything. They day of, i never had to see them. They came to the location did a wonderful job of making everything look beautiful and all the flowers were in top notch condition.
GUEST




Definitely not your typical vendor. The first time we met up we discussed my vision of what I wanted. I was even given ideas of what to add that I absolutely loved. A few meetings later when it came time to discuss price he asked our budget and made my dream come out within it. It wasn't this is what we charge you, it was this what we can do for you. Then come wedding day Bay Bouquet even decorated the reception site for us with the set up fee already included in our budget. I couldn't have been more pleased with Tony and his crew. I felt like mine was the most important wedding in the world and it came out spectacular. I wish I could get married all over again just to use their services some more and see what more we could do.
GUEST




Working with Tony was the easiet part of planning my wedding...He is very professional and kept in great contact with me in the days preceeding my wedding. His creativity is unmatched by anyone... I found a flower I loved and told him to make me something beautiful and that's exactly what he did. I didn't know what my bouquets would look like until a few minutes before the wedding. They were even more beautiful than I thought they could be!!!! He truly is the BEST!
GUEST




Tony did an amazing job. I loved the fact that I was able to tell him the style/theme, flowers and colors I was wanting but then stepped back to allow him to work his magic. It really took the pressure off since I planned my wedding myself. He has a true talent as a floral designer. He is a lot of fun to work with and no job is too big or too small for him. He truly loves what he does and it shows.
I would recommend him to anyone getting married that is looking for personalized touch to their wedding as well as any other occassion for that matter.
GUEST




I love Tony and the whole Bay Bouquet team! I found friends in my wonderful choice of florist for my wedding. Everything turned out wonderfully...perfect. Tony knew exactly how to make my vision became a reality. I love him!!! Talented, genuine and just wonderful.

GUEST




We loved working with Bay Bouquet! My son was marring an American girl; however we also had a small Indian wedding, immediate family & close friends only (approx 70 people) with luncheon reception afterwards. Tony Swick was very helpful with recommending & obtaining just the right baby rose buds (red) and white miniture orchids to make 3 wedding leis and they were absolutely beautiful! He made them himself late in the evening on Thurs so that we could pick them up by 9 a.m. on Friday morning. Along with these he special ordered orange and fusha rose petals and provided carnations for the ceremony and a combo of carnations and roses for the tables. The service was very professional, cost very reasonable product excellent! Would recommend them highly! Our new daughter-in-law commented that she wished she had know about them before, she would have used them for the American wedding on Saturday! Have referred them to several friends and most definitely will use them again!
GUEST




I have to say this was my favorite vendor to work with. The entire team at Bay Bouquet is just such a joy. But the best part is their talent! The centerpieces, decor, bouquets and Boutonni�res they created for my wedding were just stunning. I cannot thank this team enough for how they made my wedding complete. It was just beautiful. This team puts everything into their work and went above and beyond for me. Thank you Bay Bouquet!
GUEST




We had no idea what we were doing and Bay Bouquet did the most amazing job with designs and ideas. Our flowers were gorgeous. The table centerpieces were breathtaking. Everything was just top of the line. I just can't say enough wonderful things about the service, the quality, everything everything everything was perfect. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.
GUEST




Anthony from Bay Bouquet helped us with our big day and I couldn't have been more pleased. I loved him from the get-go. His attitude is what sold us. He is so positive, upbeat, and energetic. You can really tell that he loves what he does. Our "theme" was color and fireworks. And he nailed it - all the way from the bouquets and corsages to the grand centerpieces to the aisle design. I'm actually sorry that I didn't get to catch every little detail but I will catch them in pictures I'm sure. Anthony told me to "trust him" - and I'm a very skeptical person so it was very hard for me to do that. But I'm so glad I did! I received many compliments on my bouquet and the centerpieces from guests which made me appreciate Anthony and Bay Bouqet even more. On the ride to the ceremony, I stepped on my dress and ripped one of the flowers off of the bottom. I was just going to cut it off, but Anthony got on his hands and knees and put the flower back on with some double sided tape he had. <3 I'd recommend Bay Bouquet to anyone for any occasion that might be needing flowers.
GUEST




Heather and the Bay Bouquet team were great to work with - very friendly and professional. My flowers were beautiful, especially my bouquet! I would definitely use them again for any of my floral needs.
GUEST




I worked with Heather, and she was exactly what I wanted. She did everything creatively, and she even put little wirey/beady things on the ends of some pieces in my bouquet. She used bold colors, and was super flexible as the plans changed so often. She was happy to work with my very tight budget to make sure I had everything that was important to me. The only negative was that when I first went, I had been working with another florist, and it wasn't working out. That's why I went to Bay Bouquet. She did have some very unkind things to say about the vendor I was at before, and that is just not professional. BUT I still highly recommend her because her work is fantastic! She also is very easy to communicate with.
GUEST




I knew that I could trust Anthony to create table arrangements for my reception that would tone down the loud colors of the ballroom we used. I hired Anthony only a couple months before my wedding, so time was a bit short. I was quite pleased with the floral arrangments and bouquets that he created.
GUEST




Bay Bouquet was recommended to me and they did a fantastic job on our flowers for our beach wedding. I loved all of our flowers but I particularly loved my bouquet and our taller centerpieces. We worked with Tony and he was very professional. He had some great ideas but was willing to listen when I wanted to change things. We gave him our budget (a somewhat small one at that) and he stuck to it without compromising the quality. My biggest fear was that our centerpieces would be cliche beach wedding centerpieces with starfish, shells and sand dollars everywhere. I just didn't want that. Both our ceremony flowers and our centerpieces complimented the beach without being "cheesy". Tony suggested not having an arch for our ceremony as to not take away from the beautiful background that was already there (the beach!) and that was the best idea he gave us. My only complaint is that the communication via e-mail was sub par but I've found that to be the case with most creative types! However, our meetings in person were very productive. At the end of the day, we just had to let them work their magic and I'm so glad they did - everything turned out beautifully.
GUEST




Beautiful bouquets! I did not even get to meet with them before hand, but they made my dreams come true. I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty and quality!
Tony is amazing and down to earth. I absolutely love working with him, and am always in awe of his fantastic creations!
We saw Bay Bouquets flowers at a bridal show and loved their designs, they were unique, ecclectic, and very modern!!
It is an absolute pleasure working with Bay Bouquet. Their work is incredible and they always go above and beyond for each of their clients. Their professionalism and creativity shows in everything they do. I look forward to working with them in the future!
LOVE working with Bay Bouquet!!! Tony can create anything and they really spend the time with their clients to create something different and special.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Bay Bouquet for the first time. Tony and his staff did a wonderful job. They were very professional, lots of fun to work with, and their designs were just beautiful.
