Jennings Florist

I searched for a florist for months before my cakeshop recommended Jennings Florists. I was so upset that several local florists told me that my dream wedding flowers were impossible (tulips in april!), that I had low expectations when I met with Jennings third generation owner. I was so pleased – not only was he not bound by tradition, he didn’t treat me like a kid, ask me where my mother was, or try to bump up my budget (all common events at wedding florists). He accepted my claim to not want to be a ‘twinkly princess’ type bride, asked first about budget and style desires, and created a sample centerpiece on the spot. When I asked him to scale down, he produced another sample at half the price, and it was lovely. He told me that tulips are in season in April, and in fact could get them from a local producer right here on the Island – which he did, to great effect. My wedding was a purple tulip wonderland, and I was thrilled. Ultimately, he did the bridal bouquet, a wreath for the 4 year old to wear on her little blonde head, four poesy bouquets for maids of honor, four boutonnières and five corsages for moms and grandparents. Everything matched, but with unique touches: rosemary (for remembrance) in the dad’s flowers, for example, and white roses for the 4 year old. He worked tiny photos on ribbons into my bouquet (remembering lost family members), and loaned us vases for centerpieces at minimal cost. Flowers were delivered to our hotel, and the reception flowers were delivered and set up at the reception venue. Overall, we received amazing service for a great price, with wonderful bonuses. Highly recommended. Even my photographers, who’ve surely seen it all, commented on how absolutely beautiful my flowers were.
