Blumen Haus Dove Florist

Cindy Rice, at Blumen Haus Floral Designs is AMAZING.

I had spoken to several florists and had a VERY particular idea of what I wanted. White hydrangeas and nothing else. I had found a photo of a beautiful wedding bouquet that I wanted online and I wanted it to be EXACTLY like the picture - no exceptions. (What a bridezilla right?)

After speaking to a few florists who had indicated they would "try" to give me what I wanted and that they "might" have to substitute flowers - I was at my wits end. Spending $1000 on flowers and hearing someone will "try" is not what you want to hear.

When I met with Cindy she was prepared, she had printed out ALL the pictures I had emailed to her and gotten REAL flowers to show me as examples. She sat down with my mother, myself, my mother-in-law and my husband to discuss what we wanted for the day and didn't rush us at all. She offered great suggestions and coffee and was extremely pleasant - even my husband didn't mind being there - and that's saying something.

She immediately made me feel at ease because she assured me that my flowers were in season and that my bouquet would look exactly like whatever I told her I wanted - nothing less.

She let us "borrow/rent" the stands for our alter arrangements and the large glass vases so we didn't have to pay for them - just return them after the event.

She answered emails promptly and didn't even charge my card until AFTER she delivered the flowers and asked if I loved them.

The day of my wedding she was right on time - (early actually) and so excited. She was more enthusiastic about the flowers than I was! Her friendliness and excitement made her a joy to work with and words can't even describe the flowers she brought me.

They were EXACTLY what we discussed at our meeting and my bouquet looked like it had been taken right out of the picture I sent her. I hadn't even remembered to order a toss bouquet but she made me one and said it was her gift to me and to enjoy my day. What a relief! It's been over a week since my wedding and my bouquet is STILL alive in water downstairs.

She's brilliant - and she made my day special - I would not even think twice about sending someone to Blumen Haus Dove Floral Designs in Roanoke, they can't be beat.
