Blossom and Basket Boutique

Rene listened to what we had envisioned for the flowers and she made it a reality! The flowers were beautiful for the ceremony and the reception!

The moment I walked into Blossom and Basket, there was a little sign welcoming us by name. I thought it was very cute. Then I was charmed by Winston, Rene's very well behaved dog. I kept trying to play with him instead of focusing on the appointment. I'm not a very "bridal" bride (imagine Miranda in SATC). I really didn't have a specific idea regarding the flowers. I just wanted the flowers to look nice. To make Rene's job more difficult, I didn't have colors, made "next day" appointment, and endless changes to the order. Rene and her store were wonderful about that. I was trying to be as frugal as possible and they never made me feel uncomfortable about it. I didn't have centerpieces at my wedding (we used baskets of fruit), but I saw a sample of Rene's work at an event and they were beautiful.

Rene and Elle took care of all our flowers and bags for out of town guests! This is actually my second review on them! I just love them so much! The flowers were unbelieveable! They customized everything to my liking and truly made my flowers unique to me. Everyone was commenting on them! I am trying to have my bouquet preserved because I have never been so breath taken over flowers! Thanks again!

They did a beautiful job. They listened to all of my requests and brought my vision to life. Blossom and Basket was the most helpful and available out of all the vendors I used.

I have to admit, I am the most easy going bride, as I was told by all of my vendors. I'm not an expert in flowers, cakes and so on.... but Rene made it even easier. I literally walked into our meeting, told her my colors and she took care of the rest and good grief were they spectacular. They lasted for almost 2 weeks after the wedding. I came home from my honeymoon and there they were. The flowers were delivered before I even got to Ceresville for our wedding. I highly recommend Rene and her team. Thanks everyone!

Fantastic place to get bouquets for your wedding! I loved working with the staff and was truly amazed by the bouquets!

THANK GOODNESS FOR RENE!!!!! We just had our wedding this past weekend (10-16-11) and Rene was amazing. From the first time she met with me I gave her some of my ideas and she helped me along (I had no idea what I was doing) and not only did she create amazing flowers for our wedding, but they were even better than I dreamed!

I welcome Rene's ideas about bouquets and really liked the suggestions she had as we planned. I also liked that she told me "You pay your vendors to do the worrying for you, just trust that are professionals and we will get this done for you." She was completely right!

I even called her the day before the wedding and added 9 hanging arrangements and she welcomed the challenge and our wedding flowers were simply stunning. Our guests have started posting pictures and many took pictures of the flowers at the ceremony. I am so glad I chose Blossom and Basket for my wedding flowers and am dearly thankful for the job she, and I'm sure her whole team did in getting everything just right. THANK YOU!!!!!

I STRONGLY recommend her for any occasion. She was phenomenal!

Rene and her team at Blossom & Basket Boutique are INCREDIBLE!!! I went in not having a clue what I wanted to do with my wedding colors, flowers, etc, or really anything! Rene quickly put me on the straight and narrow and helped me make beautiful floral and color decisions that fit comfortably within my budget. She made a visit to my wedding location to scope things out to ensure that I had all of my bases covered. Good thing I did as she was able to point out things that I had overlooked and gave perfect advise, all of which we used. All of the flowers were BEAUTIFUL from the mother's flowers, to my bouquet, to the ceremony and reception flowers. I could not think of a better person and business to have involved in the happiest day of my life!! Blossom & Basket Boutique is the best!! :)

Couldn't have been happier! They make everything so easy and beautiful! I knew from the moment i talked to Rene on the phone, that they were going to be the best. She had no judgement on our wishes and our vision came through from the bouquet to the centerpieces! The flowers lasted perfectly and I am even am enjoying them 5 days later in separate vases! They made rentals easy and communication throughout the whole process was quick and easy!

Working with Rene at Blossom & Basket Boutique was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Rene was wonderful to work with and just sit and talk to. She really understood the look of what I wanted at our wedding. She's so nice, creative and flexible, not to mention wildly talented. She's priced fairly and she really goes above and beyond to be sure that the product she delivers is everything the customer wants. I received so many compliments on my wedding and was even asked to have photos from our wedding featured in a book for our wedding venue and I know part of that was because of how gorgeous our flowers were! Excellent Excellent Excellent!! You can't go wrong by choosing Blossom & Basket!

Rene was SO amazing, and my bouquets were BEAUTIFUL! She even went to the reception site and made my cake look even more amazing by adding fresh flowers. Everyone loved my flowers!

Blossom and Basket did an amazing job with the flowers at my wedding!! I pretty much left everything up to them, giving them an idea of what I wanted, because they knew more about flowers and decorations then I did. I was more then happy with the outcome! My bouquet was more beautiful then I ever could have imagined! I would recommend them a million times!

The bouquets and centerpieces from Blossom and Basket were absolutely beautiful and exactly what we had discussed. The bridesmaid loved their flowers. The customer service throughout was great. They are quick and responsive. Blossom and Basket does not do sample bouquets for the bride, but their prices are competitive and I was happy with the result. We only rented the glass wear and it was a pain to have to return them to the shop myself, but it would have been a pain to be stuck with so many vases in the end, too.

Blossom & Basket Boutique provided the flowers for a recent party, and they were absolutely beautiful. The arrangements were so fresh and colorful that they really lit up the room. In addition to a large arrangement on the buffet table, they provided flowers for each table as well. We ended up taking many of the flowers home with us after the event and they lasted for a couple of weeks (and still looked beautiful the whole time). I highly recommend them!

I was extremely happy with Blossom & Basket Boutique!!! Rene is so incredibly nice and sweet and she is very good at what she does.. I was extremely happy with the bouquets and the mens flowers.. The center pieces were very pretty as well.. We told her what flowers we wanted and then just gave her free reign to design what she wanted and we were not disappointed at all

I had the most wonderful experience with Rene. She did a great job on the flowers. My bouquet was so PERFECT! The bridesmaids' bouquets were exactly what I wanted. The corsages and the boutinneres were beautiful. They were there way before I was there and ready to go. I never had a problem getting quotes or estimates. They were all very professional and prompt. Thank you for your part in my wedding day!

Rene did such a beautiful job on the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. Although I didn't have an exact picture of what I wanted, the bouquets turned out absolutely PERFECT- amazing peonies :)

Rene is so easy to work with, as she really listens to what you would like, is very easy to talk to, and makes you feel at ease with leaving her to design everything. Before choosing Blossom and Basket, I met with another florist who is well known in the VA area. I definitely went with Blossom and Basket after that visit! Rene's pricing is also very reasonable and competitive, especially considering the quality of her work.

The only reason that I did not give a 5 for responsiveness is because I felt that the quotes could have been given a little faster- correspondence was through Kim, and not Rene herself. I received my first quote only after I called when a week had passed. The second time, the quote I received was incomplete, and I had to call once again after a week had passed without any response to my email requesting the full quote. However, even though response time was a bit slow, I would still work with Rene again in a heartbeat.

Thank you Rene, for making the beautiful bouquets I envisioned for my special day! They were so amazingly beautiful and exactly what I hoped for.

Blossom and Basket did a wonderful job with my flowers. They were a little more expensive than I had expected and the final results did not include as many flowers as I would have hoped (bridesmaid bouquets were small and a lot of greenery was put into centerpeices) but the flowers looked great at my venue and my bridal bouquet was amazing. Rene was a joy to work with and very sweet. I can't say the same about her assistant unfortunately as she was often short with me over the phone and gave me the impression that I was bothering her. Overall though, I'm very satisfied and would use them again if needed.

Blossom and Basket Went Above and Beyond
Blooms was an area we unfortunately had to budget on small for our wedding. Our contact, Rene never once passed judgement on our small budget and in fact went above and beyond in helping us figure out exactly what could work. All our flowers, from bouquets to centerpieces, were amazing and were even better than I had imagined. Of all my wedding vendors, Blossom and Basket will be one I use for many occasions for a long time to...

I absolutely LOVED the floral arrangements that were made for my wedding. I gave them a picture to work off of, and Rene gave me a realistic quote based on our budget. When it was over budget, she worked with me to get it to where we could afford it. We still got everything we wanted - we just had to change some of the quantity and types of flowers. We also had a trial and Rene took my suggestions and when it was time for the delivery of the flowers I LOVED them. Everything was perfect. It ended up being exactly what I wanted! On top of that, Rene and her team (I talked to Kim a lot) were very nice and knowledgeable and helpful. Sometimes it took a while for emails to be answered, but I think they are just very busy and share one email inbox. I would recommend them to anyone and I will be sure to give any of my friends their information if they are looking for a great florist! p.s. We also got a few guest bags that were a hit with our guests. :-)

Rene and her mother were an absolute pleasure to work with. Their prices are affordable and our flowers were gorgeous! My bouquet was nicer than I had imagined it would be! I took off a few points because it does take a bit of time to receive an email back but I do understand that our wedding was at a really busy time of year. My husband and I also had spoken to someone one day that was quite rude to us and had actually upset me quite a bit. I am not sure if we just caught her on a bad day and we had never spoken to her again so I am not sure what happened there. In the end, I am happy that we went with Rene and her team because our flowers were really nice!

My husband and I were very pleased with Blossom and Basket Boutique. I visited several florists before meeting with Rene. We sat down, went over my ideas and looked over a few pictures I brought to show her the direction I wanted to go in. I don't know why I chose her other than because I simply felt like she understood me. She was extremely affordable and I had no sticker shock. Because I couldn't decide what type of bouquet I wanted, Rene provided me with three different proposals and offered me suggestions on which bouquet would work best for the theme of my wedding. She also allowed me to bring my own vases to use in the centerpieces. Other than budget, here's where Rene really impressed me: she got it right the first time. I never showed her a picture and said, "I want exactly this" nor did I get a trial bouquet or centerpiece. The day of the wedding was the first time I saw my flowers. Again, it was exactly what I wanted because she took the time to listen to my thoughts, get my ideas from the few photos I showed her, and simply because she and her team are talented. Rene showed up on time and dressed professionally. I didn't even know she was there until she brought me the bouquet and I didn't see the centerpieces until I walked into the venue for the reception. Again, perfect!

Kim handles most of her correspondence and is also professional and knowledgeable. Email responses usually take about a day. Get some gift bags for your out-of-town guests. They are fabulous as well and your guests will be impressed.

Rene and her staff were hands down my favorite vendor to work with at my wedding. Rene was sweet, sincere, she listened and she never overwhelmed. If I could pick one vendor for everyone, it would be Blossom and Basket.

Just right! I could not find a picture of exactly what I wanted for ceremony flowers but was able to talk with Rene at length about my ideas. The flowers (light and dark purple) were eye popping and beautiful! She was knowledgeable about how I could get the look I wanted while staying within my budget. My husband and I decided not to use flowers for reception centerpieces and Rene never made me feel like my flower order was too small. When speaking with Rene, I felt like I had her undivided attention and creativity.

Flowers were absolutely beautiful and well within budget given. I would highly recommend Blossom & Basket Boutique. Very easy to work with and promptly returned emails and phone calls.

Blossom & Basket did a nice job on my flowers. They were extremely reasonable for the price. They were hard to get in touch with via email. I had wanted peonies (not in season for August), and asked for garden roses to attempt to get the same feel. They used regular roses which were opened somewhat... My bouquet didn't turn out the way I had hoped but it still looked nice.

Rene was fabulous. She was the reason I decided to go with Blossom and Basket. I loved how she broke down the prices for you when she quotes you so you know exactly how much everything costs. No where else I went did that. So if I wanted to raise or lower the cost I could ask specifically where I wanted to cut or add. I appreciate her organization, which is why she got my business.

The day of the wedding, she was on time, professional and fabulous. The bouquets were beautiful. The only thing I would change is that the boutonnieres were smaller than I thought. And the pomander for the flower girl was so heavy she really had a hard time carrying it. I thought we had discussed that the pomander would be silk flowers to make it less heavy. But either way, everything turned out amazing. It looked great and I wouldn't hesitate to work with Rene at Blossom and Basket again.

Like all the other reviews state, Rene was great! She offered many ideas and was able to take my own ribbon to make the bridesmaids bouquets. Sometimes it took a little while to her back from her, but most communication was done through email (which is the best to me). She helped make the bridesmaids flowers look great, since the ones that I truely wanted we were unable to get. I was a little bummed with the flowers though. It was a warm day, but flowers had browned a bit. I wish that I would have also discussed the flowers for the cermony site a little more.

I have never seen just beautiful flowers. Everyone, wedding party and guests, commented on my flowers being the most beautiful they had ever seen. I had no idea what I wanted because I am not really "into" flowers so I told Rene (the owner) to do whatever she thought would look great and they couldn't have turned out better. She helped us cut costs with buying the vases, beads and candles. She delivered the flowers to my parents house, the church and reception and took care of all the set up at the reception. I didn't have to worry about a thing. She was available for all my questions and made me feel comfortable that everything would turn out perfectly.

Rene did an incredible job with my wedding flowers. Everything turned out beautifully, and she really worked with me to get the cost down due to our limited budget.

Rene did an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding. My mom and I went to see her with a few photos of flowers that we liked, and she completely understood our vision for the wedding. We brought our own mason jars and containers and she designed the flowers around them. The flowers ended up being perfect and exactly what I wanted!

Rene and her team did a wonderful job with the bouquets and boutennieres! They were very classic and elegent.

If you are getting married in the Frederick MD area, you should really consider 3B's. Their flowers were beautiful, they were professional, and perhaps their greatest attribute was they flexibility to adapt to the ever changing ideas that we had as we got closer to our wedding.

Rene and her team did an incredible job with the bouquets, boutonnières, center pieces, and altar for our wedding. We were both so pleased with the beauty and quality of her work. I highly recommend Rene and her shop for any event you may be planning.

Excellent all the way around. Rene provides excellent service and really cares what you want. She has great ideas and really listens to what you are looking for and the perfect vision of your wedding flowers. Rene is also very flexible and truely works for you. Last minute changes are a breeze from major to minor changes. I couldn't recommend a better florist for a wedding. She truely creates picture perfect flowers and decor!

Rene and her entire staff were just excellent. We had met with another photographer and just did not have that connection. We left the first meeting with someone else feeling unsure of what we would get and could not get any specifics on what the quote really entailed. Rene's quote was very in depth, specific and left us feeling very clear on what we would receive. My mother and I wanted to create our own centerpieces and Rene was completely understanding, whereas other florists would not allow us to create our own floral arrangements in case someone misunderstood and didn't want it to be a bad reflection on them. Rene was very supportive, listened to what we wanted. We made a few changes and she reworked our quote very quickly. She created a beautiful test bouquet for some bridal photos we were having done early. Just walking in the hair salon for a trial run, everyone was stopping me to find out where the bouquet came from! There were no surprises! Rene's staff got the flowers to the church and everything was timely and perfect. They were just beautiful. Rene has a great personality and was so easy to work with, no pressure, no added fees. She was straightforward and had so many great examples of her work, it was very easy to tell her what we wanted. Highly recommend Rene and her staff!! Thanks Rene!

The moment we met Rene, the owner of Blossom and Basket, we knew we were in good hands. She had several books of flowers from weddings she had worked. I had some specific ideas about my flowers to look like and how I wanted the vases on the guest tables. She was completely open and excited about my thoughts!

The colors I picked could have definitely clashed if the flowers and hues were not chosen correctly. Rene did a fantastic job and was able pick beautiful blooms so we stayed within our budget. Also, we were able to adjust the final order (and the cost) up until 5 days before the wedding, which really helped us out, since we had a lot of guests who could not make it, making the number of flowers we needed less!

I would highly recommend Blossom and Basket!

The best vendor we had. The flowers were all fresh and GORGEOUS. Prices are fair and they did exactly what they said they would do. I would HIGHLY recommend them

Rene at Blossom and Basket was great!! She is very talented!! I told her what I was picturing in my head and she made it happen. I was VERY happy with how my flowers come out on my wedding day. I did my own center-pieces to save money.

I was very happy with my flowers from Blossom & Basket Boutique. Rene did a great job of listening to what I was picturing in my head and making it a reality. She really worked with me to create something truly beautiful, that was in my budget.

Rene was extremely knowledgable and is passionate about what she does. She was very helpful with suggesting flowers that would best compliment our colors, dresses, and wants. She was flexible and open to incorporating our desires.

Rene was fantastic!! I gave her a picture of what I would like by bouquet to look like and she matched it perfectly! My flowers took my breath away. She set everything up at my venue for me. We had discussed all the details and she didn't miss a thing.

Blossom and Basket was recommended by a friend, whose wedding flowers I loved! Blossom and Basket was very professional and easy to work with. The flowers are very reasonably priced, and beautiful. We had an outdoor wedding, and the flowers and decorations they put up were beautiful. And when they flowers started to wilt before the wedding, someone came out and fixed them, and replaced ones that needed to be replaced. I loved all my flowers! Exactly what I had in mind!

I love shops like Blossom & Basket. This is kind of weird being a guy and all, but I am always looking for a place like this for my wife to visit, as well as to bring my in-laws to when they are in town from MN. the awesome thing is they just arrived yesterday and I hope to bring them to this shop tomorrow as they love the things I saw at the event that Blossom & Basket had a table of their things displayed at. Ellie was so proud of her daughter Rene and really enjoyed bragging on her. If the way Ellie treated me so well at this event is like how the rest of their staff are, I can't wait to see my wife smile when I bring her here. Chris Miller

Beautiful flowers, arrangements and bouquets! They are professional, responsive and will always deliver a high quality product. I love working with all the girls at the shop! Always recommended!

The entire team at Blossom and Basket Boutique is terrific. They have a beautiful shop, with many really unique and fun items in the gift shop. Their flower arrangements are stunning, and I have had the pleasure of giving AND receiving arrangements from Rene and Ellie and the other team members at B&B. Not only are they a great business in town, we are also neighbors, and we are lucky to have gotten to know them more last year! We truly look forward to working many more events with them, and to continuing our relationship via our FABNet membership. If you want first class, artistic flower arrangements and bouquets, look no further than the Blossom and Basket Boutique!

Rene and her team are wonderful florists with so many amazing ideas. The flowers are always breathtaking. Rene is so easy to work with and the Blossom and Basket store has many great gifts including jewlery.

Blossom and Basket Boutique is a wonderful resource for every bride! They have a bounty of ideas and can execute them with style and perfection. I love their spirit and enthusiasm, and they are delightful to work with. You must visit their shop to truly appreciate all that they do!

Blossom And Basket Boutique is one of the finest Florists I have had the pleasure of working with in over 17 years. I have seen floral arrangements ranging from traditional to very unique from them. With out a doubt, if you are looking for flowers in the Mt. Airy to Frederick, MD area, give them a call

Blossom and Basket Boutique create beautiful arrangements for any occasion, and they are wonderful people too - I highly recommend them!
