Greenworks Florist

Diana and Greenworks were so wonderful! I had a very limiited floral budget so I was worried that florists would either be unwilling to do it or would not may much attention to our order. As soon as I met with Diana my fears were put to rest. Despite my very limited knowledge of flowers, Diana took the time to meet with me and really understand what I was looking for. She also was really reassuring that my flowers were going to be gorgeous despite my limited budget. She put together a proposal that I understood and that was within my budget--even attaching pictures of the different types of flowers to be sure I understood. She was really responsive leading up to my wedding and answered all of my emails promptly. On the day of the wedding, the flowers were delivered without a hitch and they looked gorgeous! I would highly reccmomend Greenworks for your wedding!

While in the end our flowers were lovely and garnered compliments from our guests, there were some issues in the process.

First, it wasn't until about a month and a half before the wedding that someone thought to e-mail me and tell me that the florist I'd been working with was no longer with the company. This meant working with someone completely new with whom I was not as comfortable and hadn't had our earlier conversations. It also meant that I didn't know they could have brought flowers to the tasting, which meant I had to make time for another meeting during the day. Our consultant, Diana, was almost an hour late to that meeting because she didn't anticipate the traffic, and was, I thought, not appropriately dressed for a business meeting in leggings and a loose t-shirt.

At our consultation, we discussed the sample arrangement and I specified that I would like to have as few roses as possible, and absolutely no pink flowers. Diana took notes, but the adjusted contract still needed revisions to meet what we had discussed and it took weeks to get the final version from Diana.

On the day of the wedding, we discovered after everything was set up (because no one had confirmed with me that the remaining flowers were delivered) that the cocktail hour flowers were not the dark purple we had discussed but instead lavender. The reception arrangements were full of pink filler flowers and roses, despite my asking to avoid both. And at our "sweetheart" table during the reception, the toss bouquet was sitting in a cheap vase where an additional arrangement (which we never located) should have been.

The flowers were lovely, but I was further disappointed that Diana never followed up to ask how we felt about the service.

The flowers for our wedding were beautiful!! They turned out great. Greenworks did a nice job on all the flowers. My only concern is they had a lot of turn over from the time I booked the flowers till 1 month before my wedding. I had 3 different people handing my contract and thank god I had changed a few things b/c one of the people had an old contract that didnt have all the extra items I had ordered. I will have to say that Diana (the last person to handle my contract) was very easy to work with and when ever there was a mistake on the details of the contract I could contact her and she corrected it right away and would send me the corrections to verify by e-mail. So there was an e-mail trail for corrections. On the day of the wedding everything showed up time and the flowers looked wonderful. I would recommend Greenworks, but I would stay on top og them and ask lots of questions.

I loved my flowers but I wish I had put more time into the process. I didn't get a prototype until the very end and it wasn't what I envisioned and by that time I didn't have the energy to try to fix things so I just went with a more simple approach. I loved the flowers and they did create the best wedding canopy ever - just like the photos we showed them. I think they could have tried a little harder to create my dream centerpiece but there just wasn't anytime so the lesson: start early so they can give you what you wants. They are very talented florists and reasonably priced. The day of was flawless.

Kendra at Greenworks is awesome! She knew exactly what I wanted, even when I changed my mind a few weeks before the wedding. The flowers were gorgeous!

I had a fairly modest budget for flowers for my october wedding and they were more than willing to work with me and create a beautiful setting for the ceremony and reception. They used a lot of whites at my request, vibrant yellows and purples. The flowers were beautiful! I would definitely recommend Greenworks in DC!

We had a number of good vendors but Greenworks stands out as the very best. Kendra was remarkable in capturing the theme and the dream. She even provided advice on linens and other elements that would bring the entire room together for the reception. The flowers were beautiful, the service exceptional. A very satisfied MOB.

What sold us on choosing Kendra and Greenworks? We considered several top florists in the area and when my mother asked Kendra what set her designs apart, her response was, "mine are made with love." What more could you ask for when planning the most romantic day of your life? I really do not speak flower; I literally went to Kendra with a handful of pictures and phrases like "can you make it look fluffy and pretty and sort of gardeny?" Luckily, Kendra was completely open to my half-baked vision. She embraced my Midsummer Night's Dream theme with open arms, nixed flowers or concepts I didn't like or understand, and patiently went through her portfolio with me to help me finalize our look. She even weighed in with valuable advice on linen coordination and other room design elements. While I didn't see Kendra the day of, I quickly realized that was ok, because that meant everything was where it was supposed to be at the designated time. (My sister-in-law, a floral artist in another city, made my bouquet, but I am sure if Kendra had made it she would have presented it.) And most importantly, when my husband and I walked into our reception hall for the first time, we pretty much fell over each other in amazement. To sum up, a friend who hadn't known much about my planning said to my bridesmaids, "It's just like a Midsummer Night's Dream in here!" Kendra was absolutely an invaluable part of bringing our imagination to life, and she did it within our budget. I would definitely use Kendra and Greenworks again - in fact, my mother did, for her Thanksgiving centerpieces and decor. :)

The flowers were lovely, although not the colors I thought they were going to be. I was an "out of town" bride so I did not have a chance to see the arrangements in person ahead of time. However, I did love them. The personal flowers were exactly what I wanted. Ainsley was great at putting together what I needed. The chuppa was done beautifully. There was a snafu (I think my fault), one less table arrangement than was needed, and one more flower girl added at the last moment. Greenworks took over, and solved my problems immediately. They took what could have been a diasaster and turned it into a triumph. Thank you so much for solving my mistake. I couldn't have asked for a better florist.

Kendra was a big help with the flowers. The altar pieces were more beautiful than I could've imagined. After an initial meeting where she helped us make decisions on what kind of flowers we wanted based on our wedding colors, she put together a proposal based on what our budget could allow. We made a few tweaks then I didn't have to worry about it at all until the final payment was due. Everything was delivered on time, the flowers stayed fresh and the dining room looked amazing with the centerpieces. I highly recommend Greenworks because they really know what they're doing and can help you achieve what you may or may not even know you want.

Kendra was recommended by a family friend. She was able create a sample incredible arrangement for our first meeting using a short description I gave her over the phone. With just a few weeks to prepare, Kendra produced the most beautiful arrangements I have ever seen. We received more comments about how exceptional the flowers looked than anything else. The arrangements truly made a statement. Kendra was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was responsive and flexible with last minute changes. On the day of our wedding, you would have never known she had come. Everything looked flawless. I will without a doubt use her services again in the future and recommend her to everyone I know.

I worked with Kendra and she was amazing...the flowers were definitely my favorite part of the wedding. After meeting with her, she gave me three different proposals to compare prices and styles, which was really helpful.

Kendra at Greenworks Florist is absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend her to any future bride in the DC area. Their dedication to staying within your budget without sacrificing ANY quality is absolutely incredible. Kendra even surprised me with peonies in my bridal bouquet in the middle of July when I thought they would be impossible to get!

Greenworks was by my the best vendor I worked with for my wedding. Kendra Bissig was fantastic in every way! She tirelessly worked to create the vision that I couldn't even express in words, but somehow she knew exactly what I was going for. She even surprised me with peonies in my bridal bouquet - when I thought they were out of season and impossible to have! Also, her dedication to staying within my budget was very appreciated. I would highly recommend Greenworks to any bride in the DC area.

Amanda was incredibly helpful. She worked with me before the wedding to plan the bouquets and color scheme. She emailed suggestions and ideas until I found something I wanted. On the day of the wedding I wasn't completely happy with some of the loose flowers I ordered. Within one hour she found more flowers and delivered them directly to me. The service and responsiveness was truly amazing.

Not knowing anything about flowers and being concerned about the cost, Greenworks was a lifesaver! The staff at Greenworks took the time to teach me about flowers and stay within my budget. Kendra was very professional and responsive and the flowers on my wedding day were breathtaking!

The staff at Greenworks did a fabulous job on the flowers for the ceremony and reception and the decor for the ceremony for our wedding. Everyone was extremely helpful and prompt and the final product was really gorgeous! We were so pleased with everything and the guests were fighting over who got to take the flowers home after the reception. I would recommend Greenworks and Kendra without any reservations.

I choose Greenworks between other two top florists in D.C. and I didn’t regret it! Our contact person was Kendra. She was absolutely amazing! I came to Greenworks, without knowing anything about the flowers, what I liked, and what the prices are. Moreover, I was confused with million ideas and photos I saw in all sort of wedding magazines, I didn’t have a clear idea about my bouquet, centerpieces, etc. Moreover I was organizing a wedding in D.C. from West Coast. Kendra was my savior! She answered my emails the same day, welcomed all my ideas, had unlimited patience with numerous changes I made and helped me stay on the budget! On the day of the wedding, our flowers were there on time, they were fresh and beautiful. I will definitely use Greenworks for any future event I will have!

Kendra at Greenworks did a fantastic job with our floral arrangements. They were stunningly beautiful, and creative. Somehow, it was exactly what we wanted and pictured, but better!

Greenworks was, by far, one of the best vendors that we used for our wedding. We worked with Kendra and she was amazing, she is very personable and professional. My fiancé and I know very little about flowers and could only give her general ideas about how we wanted the flowers to look. So, she took some extra time with us to walkthrough our flower options, whether was the style that bwe were looking for or options for bouquets or centerpieces. She was able to take our mish-mash of ideas and refine everything into a very cohesive vision. Greenworks also came in the lowest of the three estimates we received from florists and they really seemed to listen to the budget we gave them and what areas were the most important to us. On the day of the wedding all the flowers were perfect. The colors were just what we had been looking for and there was a good balance between the tall and short centerpieces. We were able to have more flowers then we imagined and all of our guests were impressed.

Greenworks Florist was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with! Melissa was great to work with and was able to put together the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces just by telling her the flowers I liked the best. I highly recommend them to anyone! Definitely worth the money!!!!

Not having any idea what you want from your flowers and then falling in love with what you get is the best feeling ever - Kendra was our contact person throughout the entire process, she was enthusiastic, responsive and flexible from the get go - she worked with us every week and diligently did her 'homework' to figure out what worked for us, she was honest and straightforward which I loved.

The denouement of this was the wedding reception. When even your guests are taking pictures of the flower arrangements, you know your florist is onto something. The arrangements were breathaking and really made the site - every detail was impeccable, she captured the romance and modernism we had hoped for. I get the feeling they could deliver whatever you ask for.

If all the other amazing reviews don't do it, here's one more that may help swing the vote. Thank you Kendra and Greenworks for making the night so memorable, for your patience and hard work!

Don't be fooled by the name and reputation! When we went to Greenworks I was sure that we would not end up using them because I thought that they would be super expensive. To my surprise, they were reasonable!

We used Greenworks for our wedding in October, 2009. Specifically, we worked with Melissa Olsen. She was great! Professional, personable, proficient, and prompt. Melissa put together the most beautiful flower arrangements for us - centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres. The result was incredible, especially because when we met with Melissa I had NO idea what I wanted. I loved her approach. We looked through books and I picked out types of flowers that I liked. We compiled a list and before we knew it an idea had formed! Melissa was receptive to minor changes along the way, too.

Two bonuses that surprised me: free toss bouquet (that my flower girl used instead) and a sample centerpiece that Greenworks brought to my venue on the night of our tasting so that we could see what it would look like and make any changes.

There are almost no words for Kendra at Greenworks that could do her justice. She is absolutely fantastic. We wanted to collaborate with someone who would be inspired by our ideas, but who would run with them and make them their own. Kendra did that, and more. Her ideas were practical and cost effective without compromising elegance or the “wow factor”. She was able to work magic, under pressure, and with a smile and poise that made her a pleasure to work with. We had FUN planning our wedding together. When it rained, she helped turn our indoor space into something more intimate and beautiful than if the sun had shined. We wanted to use only local, seasonal, sustainable, pesticide free cut flowers, and with Kendra’s help, we didn’t compromise on color or variety. There were a lot of firsts at our wedding, and Kendra was as courageous as she was creative. She saw every challenge as an opportunity to elevate the elegance, sophistication and joy of our day. She achieved this beyond our wildest dreams, and we feel so much love and appreciation for Kendra’s professionalism and artistry.

I worked with Kendra, who I would highly recommend. She was one of the few florists who actually followed up with me after submitting her proposal, which I appreciated. I was actually a bit worried that the flowers would look inexpensive and small because of the very reasonable price, but the flowers ended up looking truly beautiful and we received a million compliments from the guests. Kendra also did a great job making the ceremony look gorgeous with a relatively small amount of flowers; it was simple and elegant and perfect! The day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about anything regarding the flowers; they were there when I arrived and everything was set up just as I had imagined. Greenworks was by far my best vendor.

I enjoyed the process of working with Kendra at Greenworks, as she was highly responsive, creative, and friendly. Our flowers were unique and beautiful, and overall we were happy with how everything turned out.

I worked with Greenworks, specifically Melissa Olsen, for my wedding flowers and I could not have been happier. Melissa was very responsive, very personable, and delivered breath-taking floral arrangements. It was especially nice because they provided me with a complimentary prototype and I could make any necessary tweaks according to my preference. When I walked into our reception site I looked at the flowers and gasped...they were so perfect. Several of my guests actually traveled home with them across the country! I had one arrangement that I took home with me and I took at least 20 pictures of it because I never want to forget how absolutely beautiful my wedding flowers were. I would recommend this company without hesitation. Thanks Greeenworks and thanks Melissa!

Melissa at Greenworks was unbelievable to work with for our wedding. My husband and I had little to no time to plan our wedding, and Melissa was super flexible and accommodating of our ridiculous schedules. I gave her a very vague idea of what I wanted (essentially, just the colors!) and asked her to run with it - and she did an AMAZING JOB. I can't tell you how many people commented on the flowers. My bouquet was breathtaking, as were the bridemaids. Our venue was pretty modern art-sy, so we didn't need a ton, but the touches she added were so excellent and fitting for our reception site. I would highl recommend Melissa and Greenworks to anyone without reservation!!

My husband and I were beyond thrilled with the work Kendra and Greenworks did for our wedding. Our flowers were even better than we expected...she exceeded all my expectations, everything was beautiful...especially my cake which had layers of flowers in between the cake (it was too pretty to cut). Kendra was the best to work with, too. She always got back to me quickly and was always friendly, helpful and full of great suggestions! I would recommend Greenworks to any bride...and to any one look for top quality flowers for a party/event. Thank you, Kendra and Greenworks! :)

Melissa from Greenworks was AMAZING! My groom and I have a very hectic schedule because we run our own business, and Melissa came to our office and brought us samples, books, and ideas. This alone was invaluable to us! I had a vague idea of what I wanted, and Melissa asked me to describe the feel I was going for, and she went from there. I very specifically wanted a "modern lounge feel" for our black and gold wedding, and the results were nothing short of stunning. Melissa and her team showed up at our venue and created our centerpieces on site to make them perfect for each table. The were composed of curly willow, orchids and other lovelies. Melissa even came up with some creative aspects, such as vases with orchids in the water with lampshades that actually lit up! These were a hit! She also suggested an aisle runner company that created our own custom high quality runner. We are having it framed. It is beautiful!
Melissa's team placed candles that I had provided at the tables for us, and made everything beautiful. Our night would not have been the same without Greenwork's touch!

Working with Greenworks for my wedding reception was so much fun and also stress-free. I had ideas about what I wanted for centerpieces and my bouquets, but I would not have had such exquisite arrangements without Kendra and the Greenworks team. We talked through different arrangements and Kendra instantly knew what kind of look I was after -- she provided me with images of similar arrangements, walked me through the flowers and vases in stock and also built a demo centerpiece a month before my wedding to confirm the concept. I loved the Greenworks centerpieces, which were beautiful and fresh, and arranged in a creative way that made them look both effortless and gorgeous. All our guests commented on how lovely the florals were. Because our wedding was a lunchtime garden affair, we also did potted herbs and plants on half the tables, which our guests took home at the end of our reception. These pots were also beautiful and artfully arranged by Greenworks. And to give a nod to Kendra and her expert professional know-how, I mistakenly told her that we had 12 tables at the reception, but in fact we had 13. When she arrived at the reception site, she quickly learned of my error and swiftly had another centerpiece made and delivered. You would never have known about the glitch, and it was so great of Kendra to manage my mistake with ease -- I did not hear about it until long after our wedding had occurred. So Greenworks is terrific. They are professional, their flowers are gorgeous and the arrangements tasteful and elegant, and they listen to the desires of their clients. I highly recommend working with them for any event you are planning in the DC area.

Melissa from Greenworks was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional, prompt, and was able to suggest flowers to fit my budget. The quality was fabulous and the flowers looked great throughout the day.

Greenworks Florist completely WOWed us at our wedding! Here's our story -- I was a very busy bride and preferred to do lots of the planning by email/web/phone. I started by researching centerpieces, bouquets, and church decorations online. I simply saved pictures and then put together a simple Word document with the pictures and a brief description of what I was seeking (i.e. all white bridal bouquet with...).

I attempted to send my document to two florists, but they just didn't get it (and it wasn't rocket science, I think they were just looking to upsell their services). When I emailed it to Kendra at Greenworks -- she GOT it! She called me straightaway and said she's send me a simple Excel document outlining the flower items I requested, prices and details. I couldn't believe how simple and easy it was to work with her. Additionally, I was wowed by their website and felt confident from speaking to her that she had a great understanding of the type of wedding I was going for, the budget I was seeking, and the flower arrangements.

Kendra and her Greenworks team truly suprised us with the beauty of the ceremony, cocktail, reception and bridal flowers. I could not believe how perfect everything looked (it was exactly like the pictures I sent her -- but more beautiful, creative, and full looking). She hand delivered our bouquets, corsages and boutoiunners (sp?). The other arrangements arrived exactly when she said they would arrive.

Service was phenomenal. Kendra was easily and quickly accessible by phone AND email each time I needed to add or tweak something. Value for cost was terrific. We got amazing flowers for a great price. It was easy to stick within my budget and still have everything look beautiful. Their website shows a wonderful array of incredibly expensive and complex arrangements to simple, elegant more affordable versions.
Flexibility was great. I would hightly recommend Kendra and her team at Greenworks and they made our wedding day beautiful and far exceeded my expectations.

Ok, it's been five days since I wrote the first part of this review and I have to update it to add one last KEY bit of information.... 5 days after our wedding, our flowers STILL LOOK AMAZING. I unwrapped by bridal bouquet, slightly trimmed the stems per Kendra's instructions and placed it in water... still stunning. We took a few of our reception and cocktail centerpieces home and they are going strong. I think that really makes a statement as to the quality of the flowers used at Greenworks. It's certainly made the first few days of married life very special in our home.

Kendra at Greenworks is fabulous! We loved working with her, she made our vision of a "preppy chic wedding" happen with our wedding flowers and decor! She is so easy and flexible to work with and has so much great energy and passion for what she does! I highly recommend working with Kendra!

Greenworks did an amazing job for our wedding! Kendra was a pleasure to work and very attentive to our likes and dislikes. All of our guests were complementing our flowers and how well they went with the setting and how unique they were. From the bouquets, to the ceremony arch, to the centerpieces, everything was perfect and beautiful - and lasted throughout the night! I would definitely recommend Greenworks for any wedding - they do a wonderful job!

The flowers are beautiful and fresh. They did a wonderful job and they had the whole venue set up prior to our arrival.

I loved working with Greenworks to plan my wedding flowers. I was able to, with very minimal effort and time, get stunning arrangements and beautiful bouquets at the church and the reception. After just discussing color scheme, a great proposal was sent that allowed me to better picture what kinds of flowers I did and didn't want to use. I sent emails and pictures and the proposal was quickly updated... Everything arrived at the church and reception exactly the way I pictured it would look- and I never had to call and check up on things. The service was friendly, had a sense of humor, and was very responsive. I highly reccommend this florist!

This is a big-name florist, and we had a small wedding. Maybe that is why we didn't get the color flowers we asked for - pink and orange. We got only pink flowers, which were beautiful, but I had wanted to create a festive atmosphere with two colors. I know they cut us a deal, which we appreciate, but in the end you should get what you ask for because it's your wedding day.

I worked with Kendra for my wedding and she is the sweetest, most helpful, and professional florist/designer that I met during my whole wedding planning process. I was so pleased with the flowers and received non-stop compliments about them during and after the wedding! I had mentioned that I was on a budget early on and Kendra gave me great cost-saving alternatives. I would definitely recommend working with Greenworks!

My husband and I were impressed by Greenworks Florist. Kendra, the Sales Manager, was very professional, creative, and paid great attention to detail. She envisioned exactly what we wanted for our special day. The bridal/bridesmaid bouquets, corsages, and centerpieces were gorgeous and impeccable. We highly recommend this florist for any brides-to-be :)

Greenworks was simply wonderful! Melissa Olsen (my contact) was able to present a final product that was 100 times better than expected including dying flowers to match my Tiffany blue theme exactly! They arrived on time and completed all tasks before the deadline including elaborately decorating an outside arbor that we had provided ourselves. I would highly recommend them for all events. As a meeting planner myself - they will be the first floral provider I call for my next event in the DC area! Thank you Greenworks for making my wedding a dream come true!

Our wedding was over a year ago and I am now expecting our first baby any day now -- but I feel so strongly about Greenworks, I wanted to take the time to sing their praises!

We worked with Kendra. She was so patient with all my questions and worked with our budget, trimming where she could to help save us money. She was responsive and professional and easy to contact/communicate with.

Best of all, the results were stunning! We wanted to make a hotel ballroom "stage" look like a church altar, and they were able to do it! We had given them a photo of what we wanted, and not only did they do it exactly, but it was even more beautiful than the photo. Far exceeded our expectations (and we are picky people!).

Another thing I was impressed with was that she had to make a last minute change to our vases the day of the wedding (an unexpected "executive decision") and even came up to my hotel dressing room the day of the wedding to get my approval and show me digital pictures. It totally put me at ease and made me so excited to walk into the room and walk down the aisle.

Flowers were not a priority for us when we planned, but we got so many compliments on them from our guests.

I would highly recommend Greenworks Florist and we consider hiring them one of the smartest decisions we made.

Greenworks florist made planning the flowers for my Washington, DC wedding such a joy. I highly recommend working with Melissa Olsen; her professionalism was stellar as was her enthusiasm for my upcoming event. She was responsive to all of my emails and requests during the planning process and the delivery on wedding day went quite smoothly as well- a big thumbs up for any bride!

Overall, very nice job. Could definitely improve on their communication with customers in terms of getting back in a timely manner, however in the end they got the job done very well. There was one mistake, but the rest came together beautifully. Would recommend but this may not be your best option if you are looking for a very responsive vendor...

I wouldn't hesitate recommending Greenworks Florist to any bride and groom! Working with Kendra was a dream. She was professional, personable, and very helpful in every respect. After the initial consultation, most of our correspondence was by email and by phone due to the fact that I live in Texas and my groom (now husband) is based in D.C. Kendra responded promptly to all of my inquiries and even worked with me when I decided to change my color scheme several weeks before the wedding! I can't say enough about how beautiful the flowers were and how many compliments we received on the artful arrangements and gorgeous bouquets! Everything was delivered in a timely fashion as well! Thank you Greenworks for making our wedding so beautiful and stress free!

My husband and I had our black tie wedding reception at the Willard in June. I cannot tell you how beautiful the flowers were! Kenda and her team
did fantastic job - the flowers were absolutely perfect! I can't recommend Greenworks highly enough!

Dana DiGiovanni

My flowers looking beautiful on our wedding day! Everyone there commented on how beautiful all the arrangements were. Greenworks provide very professional service with great suggestions and really listened to my vision of what I wanted and made it a reality. And they helped me stay within my budget!

Kendra asked that I leave a review and I was happy to do so because I was so thrilled with Greenworks! I was a very picky bride, quite specific in my requests. Greenworks gave me EXACTLY what I wanted on my wedding day. The quality was exceptional. The pricing was high end but you get what you pay for. It's hard to find vendors you can trust, let alone a team of two outstanding women. This was the easiest vendor to work with, hands down. Grade: A+

We feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to have Cynthia work as our florist! I would tell anyone having a wedding in the Washington, DC metro area to call Greenworks and specifically to call Cynthia. She was patient with us and was always ready to help us have the most beautiful flowers for our event (on our budget). We still get compliments about the flowers and I know that they wouldn't have been than gorgeous if Cynthia hadn't been our florist.

PS - Check out the review right above this one: notice that Cynthia was the florist for two weddings on the same day. I just found this out and I am so ridiculously impressed with her!! I already knew that she was an amazing florist and the utmost professional, but now I see that she is truly a Wedding Wonder Woman. You'd be taking a silly risk to not go with Cynthia and Greenworks for your wedding day flowers!

they were fabulous - Cynthia Kim was a pleasure to work with and the flowers were exactly what I wanted - in fact I really didn't spend too much time thinking about them at all because Cynthia really knew what I wanted - they were flexible about last minute changes and she was always available via email and phone - it truly was great to not have to spend a lot of time on the flowers and they were great!

We were very lucky that the flowers turned out fine for the wedding. The only reason why we decided to go with Greenworks was because they have a small storefront shop in the Willard. We mistakenly thought that if anything went wrong, there would be someone at the storefront to assist. There were problems from the start. Greenworks must have a very high turnover rate because our salesperson changed five times over the course of six months. It was very frustrating to have to explain our order over and over. A few days before the wedding, I called to confirm our order and found out that our salesperson, Peggy Stanley, was no longer working there. I spoke with Cynthia Kim and had to explain what we wanted again. She reassured me and said that she would be onsite the day of the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly. On the wedding day, she was not there. The flowers were dropped off and the bridesmaids bouquet colors were not what we were expecting at all. We were missing a boutineer and tried to call her, but did not get any response. The price of our flowers was fine for what we got, but it definately was not worth all of the stress involved with Greenworks. We paid about $1,500 for 2 alter arrangements (which we also used as centerpieces for two head tables), a small bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids/MOH bouquets, 6 boutineers, 2 flowergirl pomanders, and 2 nosegay bouquets for the mothers. Please avoid this florist!

Update: I read the comments that were posted by Cynthia - I still do not recommend this florist. Use at your own risk - the service is terrible. I would think that no one would want poor service on their wedding day just to save some money. The extra stress caused was just not worth it. At the very least for something as important as flowers on the wedding day, I expected a visit in person to confirm that every thing is in order before leaving the premises. It really would have taken just a few moments of her time.

Flowers - Greenworks. Contact - Claire Leak. Well, with all the good reviews, you had to expect at least one bad one. This is it. Some of you may recall my post on the Knot about this, but it was a horrible experience. I met with several florists and ended up going with Greenworks because I really liked the Sales rep and hadn't heard anything bad about them. She seemed to really get what I was going for and was very enthusiastic. This was my first mistake - NEVER hire a florist where the person you meet with isn't the one actually making the bouquets. But how was I to know? Anyways, somehow, despite my distaste for roses, she managed to talk me into including roses as a flower option. I agreed, but only if they were small, open, garden roses. I made it extremely clear that if large closed roses showed up, I would be extremely disappointed. I also gave pictures of exactly how I wanted my bouquets to look - this one should have been a slam dunk. Well, wouldn't you know, the flowers showed up and they were hideous. Seriously, I took one look and they had to be taken out of the room. All ROSES. My bouquet was so ugly - it looked like something from a White Trash wedding. I refused to have anything to do with the flowers - the BMs carried them down the aisle and made me a new bouquet to carry, but they were not in any photographs. The photograph I do have is of the bouquet we re-created and actually looked half decent. We then came to find out that all of the boutonnières were roses as well and falling apart! There weren't the right number and huge rose heads were literally falling off! At that point I just didn't care. Luckily the reception pieces were ok, hard to mess up packed pink carnations! Flash forward to a month after the honeymoon. I provided photos and a letter of complaint to Greenworks asking for a refund for all of the personal flowers. After avoiding me for 2 weeks they finally come back with 'the designers used their artistic discretion and it's too bad you didn't like it? and we'll refund $300 out of $3000??awful. The owner is avoiding my calls, but I am not letting this go! Don't let this happen to you. Write the contract yourself, only use a florist that actually puts together the flowers, and if you don't want roses NEVER agree to any roses. They will use them because they are cheap and you'll never see the gorgeous flowers you paid for!!! Grade: F

I am a local wedding coordinator/planner and I would absolutely recommend Melissa Olsen and Greenworks as a florist. Great Work!

Greenworks is fabulous to work with... we frequently use them for our events and recommend them often to our brides! They provide top-notch service with their creativity, professionalism and passion! We strongly recommend working with Greenworks!

Kendra, Rick and the whole Greenworks team have been absolutely fabulous, not only working on a tight budget for my clients but also pulling out all the stops to make the arrangements everything my clients had ever dreamed. They were so easy and perfect to work with at every turn. They are professional, kind, generous and efficient. I would undoubtedly recommend them to anyone and everyone, and I can't wait to work with them on future events and weddings!
