Romance of Flowers

Romance of Flowers was absolutely amazing and more beautiful than I could have imagined!

Victoria Clausen has excellent taste and is very talented. Working with her, I knew that my flowers would be beautiful, classy and elegant. Romance of Flowers was a bit more expensive than other florists, but I cannot say enough that it was well worth the piece of mind on my wedding day.

Victoria really listened to my vision and was able to work with me to acheive the results I wanted while sticking within the budget that we had set. She was very creative and had lots of good ideas for other decor. We were also able to use the centerpeices during the ceremony, for the brunch the next day and we were able to gift them to guests (and they were gorgeous!!!). My chuppah was the most beautiful I have ever seen (and my mother is in the wedding business - so I have seen a lot!). And, they took flowers from the chuppah to decorate a few tables inside the reception.

Everything about my flowers was absolutely perfect and I would strongly recommend Romance of Flowers!!

If you want exceptionally beautiful and fresh flowers for your special day, then Romance of Flowers is for you! I can not express in writing how stunning all of the arrangements and centerpieces were on my wedding day. They absolutely exceeded my expectations and quite frankly stole the show! Many of my guests made a point to come up to me during the reception, call me, and send e-mails post wedding to tell me how gorgeous the flowers were. Even the other vendors who worked my wedding were impressed! You will enjoy working with Victoria who has a special gift for vision and design. Brides, look no further.

Absolutely amazing! Victoria took my vision and turned it into a fabulous venue - one that family and friends are still talking about. I'm not sure how she does it, but she truly makes magic happen. She turned a carriage house into the most elegant wedding I've ever seen. Victoria produces magazine quality work and we're glad that we were pointed in her direction.

The flowers were one of the most important elements of the wedding. I knew exactly what I wanted, but felt like I was not able to express it in words. Victoria worked with me to help bring the image into a reality. When I walked into the room for the first time, I was breathless. It surpassed what I could even attempt to imagine. I still hear from our guests that they have never seen so many beautiful flowers in one place.

Victoria is by far the most creative and elegant floral designer that I've ever worked with. She created the perfect wedding of our dreams. Victoria was so pleasant and easy to work with--she was willing to meet with me repeatedly and turned my vision into an absolutely spectacular reality. All of our guests commented on the flowers. Not only did Victoria create elegant and beautiful floral arrangements for the tables, bouquets, and ceremony, but she worked tirelessly to create elements that added to a beautiful event. She is so creative and utilized all of my ideas. When we knew we'd have a lot of children present, Victoria built a children's table with a candy tree in the center. She also created a lounge setting in the center of the reception with couches and chairs and even had personalized throw pillows made with our monogram that we kept after the event. Victoria was involved in all of the planning and implementation--she assisted our baker in decorating and staging the cake, met repeatedly with our other vendors, and decorated the site. Our wedding would not have been as beautiful, elegant, or colorful had we gone with another florist. I highly recommend her!

I'm not a huge flower person to begin with, so knowing I had to drop a lot of our budget into flowers was a difficult decision. Since I knew flowers needed to be a large part of the day (I am a traditional gal), I knew what I wanted, and wanted to find a vendor that could give it to me exactly as I envisioned.

Victoria, and her privately owned business, did just that.
- I wanted, long, thin elegant flowers, she found the perfect ones.
- She knew my budget was tight, so we cut corners in certain areas (talking through this), breaking down the bridesmaid bouquets by another 15 dollars each, etc.
- I wanted to spruce up the reception pavillion with a little color, she suggested very afforable (and very effective linens) to which she organized, ordered, etc.
- I didn't want flower centerpieces, but glimmer and glass, she whipped up water-filled hurricane centerpieces containing tiger orchids and single floating candles.

She reused elements from the ceremony for the reception hall, and she didn't think I was cheap for suggesting that!!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Simply Amazing! My family is a repeat customer - she created stunning flowers for my sister's wedding two years ago. When it came to flowers, I didn't know a thing. With relatively little input on my part, Victoria created the ambiance and romance I needed for my wedding. I told her that we got engaged in Venice and showed her my color scheme, and she took it from there. She went to the library and researched the decorative styles used in historic Venice, recreating them for my wedding. My ceremony and reception location were enormous (as was my guest list), but her decorating skills gave us the intimate feel we wanted for the ceremony and the reception. Victoria created inventive table decorations and designs that were all unique - no two looked that same. Her decorative talents left everyone amazed - I'm not exaggerating when I say everyone was talking for weeks! And my bouquet was so lovely I've had it preserved for the ages.

we had romance of flowers do our august 2010 wedding and everything turned out amazing! i was totally in love with my bouquet and victoria was able to find the perfect flowers to match my theme and difficult color combination. she is pricey no doubt, but did throw in lots of little extra that weren't necessarily on our bill, like candles wrapped with ribbon and a flowers to decorate the bar area. she also did beautiful chair markers for me and hubby at our sweetheart table which i don't think was included (or if it was, we never talked about it). she was very creative and everything was far beyond my expectations. she was the 3rd florist i met with as i didn't feel like the first two really "got" what i was looking for. she had so many options and choices and i really was very, very happy with her services. i would definitely recommend to anyone in the DC/baltimore area!
i marked off a half star for responsiveness as she was sometimes difficult to get in touch with and didn't always return calls quickly. she also tried to add in an extra fee that my planner noticed and eventually got her to remove.

Victoria created the most wonderful arrangements and themed decor that I could have ever imagined. Romance of Flowers is a gem for the Baltimore Wedding scene, and I think personally there needs to be way more buzz. This is not just a florist who puts an arrangement ona table, but a designer for your reception who brings style, elegance, and a consistent theme to all aspects of the reception. If you want a wedding that is beyond something cookie cutter, Romance of Flowers will get you there!

Victoria was wonderful to work with. She had the most beautiful and amazing ideas. A little pricey, but definitely worth it!

Whoa. Check out Victoria's portfolio and website. This girl is SERIOUSLY talented. She does the kind of artistic design that you see in those high end California/ New York weddings. And it's not even just floral design . . . we've seen her use fruits, vegetables, candy, feathers, trees!,and lighting in conjunction with flora, and the result is absolutely breathtaking. Victoria is not your neighborhood florist . . . she is a designer that delivers the goods. Brides and vendors alike gush about her giftedness. And as a bonus, she is an all around great person, who is humble, honest, will truly LISTEN to you, and will put in hours and hours of work to ensure that your wedding is even more beautiful than you ever imagined. Victoria at Romance of Flowers is OFF THE HOOK!

Victoria is not a florist. She is an artist that works with the botanical medium. Each of her events is unique, out of the box . . . a one of a kind work of art that makes a statement.
