Reviews for Rutland Beard Florist of Ruxton
GUEST




Alison at Rutland Beard Florist is absolutely amazing! I met her at an open house and we immediately bonded over our love of lilacs. I lamented to her that they didn't fit into my white floral color scheme to which happily informed me that white lilacs exist and are usually in bloom around my early May wedding! During our consultations she took into consideration the theme and feel of my wedding and created a proposal that fit perfectly into my budget. The week of my wedding Alison called me to let me know that she had indeed been able to find white lilac and, knowing that fragrance was very important to me, to ask if she could add a few fragrant lily-of-the-valley blooms to my bouquet. My bouquet turned out far lovelier than I could have imagined as did the rest of the bouquets/boutonnieres. I HIGHLY recommend Alison at Rutland Beard Florist and I will most certainly be using her for all of my future floral needs.

I worked with Allison while planning my wedding. From the moment we met (over a year before my wedding) I knew this was going to be the florist I wanted/was going to use. Allison took the time to get to know me and my then fiance. She asked about what we were visioning and she 100% made that happen!!! Allison was able to achieve my vision for the amount my fiance and I had budgeted for. I would 100% recommend Rutland Beard Florist/Allison to anyone.

Alison with Rutland Beard Florist of Ruxton created perfect floral arrangements for our wedding. She used descriptive words, pictures, and themes we used to describe our dream wedding to work with us to develop a clear image for bridesmaid boquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, our chuppah display, etc. Her creative thinking and clear communication is the mark of a true artist. Alison took the time to get to know my husband, my family, and me to ensure her works of art stemmed from a true collaborative effort designed to reflect our personalities and styles. I highly recommend Alison and Rutland Beard Florist of Ruxton.
GUEST




Alison listened to every last detail and really spent a great deal of time planning with us. The flowers were gorgeous. My bouquet was the most beautiful thing Ive ever seen! She incorporated wedding colors into the flowers and made everything look so elegant. The chuppah was beautiful, too. They do an excellent job at Rutland Beard and I would highly recommend.
GUEST




Rutland Beard did a very nice job with our wedding flowers. The bouquets were absolutely beautiful and they did a great job of decorating the pews in our church. We had several comments about how lovely the bouquets were. We worked with Alison who was very sweet and helped us stay within our budget. The only reason why we couldn't give five out of five stars on everything was because the bouttoniers for the groom, fathers, and ring bearer (which were white stephanotis) were a little wilted and the wedding coordinator at our church had to pluck off some of the wilted flowers. Other than that minor issue, we absolutely loved all the arrangements and would recommend this florist to anyone we know (although we would warn them about the stephanotis flowers).
GUEST




Alison and the staff at Rutland Beard Florist made our wedding truly perfect- she was fun to work with and made it very easy for us- she instantly understood our 'theme' and shocked us with the most amazing bouquets of flowers, we will never forget!
GUEST




I first came to Alison about a year before my wedding. At that point, I had met with 2 other florists – one of whom never called me back, and the other who’s ideas were completely off-base from what I had requested. I had tried to set up a consultation with another florist in the area who point-blank told me that they wouldn’t even talk to me or meet with me until about 6 months before my wedding...sorry, but I wanted to have my florist booked well before that! I then read some reviews for Rutland Beard on this site, and decided to give them a call.
From that first phone call, Alison has always been completely in my corner, and ready and willing to toss ideas around with me...even before we had officially booked with her! I don’t know a whole lot about flowers (other than ones I like vs. ones I don’t like), but Alison has to be one of the most talented individuals in this area that I have ever met. In meeting with her, she was immediately able to get a feel for the look I was going for...and to be completely honest, I can tell you that her beautiful and creative ideas for our flowers are what helped to shape my vision for the rest of our wedding – so I will be forever grateful to her for that :-).
My bouquet was even more beautiful than I ever imagined it could be...as were my bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces...everything was just so romantic and feminine and pretty – it was exactly how Alison had described her vision to me, and I LOVED every single detail that she pulled together for us!
For someone who typically worries about everything, it was very refreshing to know that I didn’t have to worry about how our flowers would turn out – I trusted Alison completely, and knew that everything would look beautiful! I highly recommend Alison and Rutland Beard, and really cannot say enough good things about my experience with her. She did an amazing job in helping to make our wedding day everything we ever dreamed it could be! Thank you!!
GUEST




Rutland Beard of Ruxton was my hero! I had a different florist lined up originally, but some unfortunate circumstances with them led me to be florist-less about 6 weeks before my wedding! Alison jumped to my rescue and was more than happy to help me out! We sat down and went over my vision for the wedding day, my venue layout and color scheme and Alison designed my flowers for the day! She even came up with some original ideas that I wouldn't have even thought of. I had met with 5 or 6 florists and wanted ideas to light my ceremony aisle since it was potentially going to be dusk by the time my ceremony was over and no one came up with a great plan like Alison! All of the bouquets were beautiful, the centerpieces were just what I was looking for and the rest of the designs were just perfect! I knew I wouldn't have to worry about a thing when it came to my flowers on my wedding day thanks to Alison!
GUEST




Allison at Rutland Beard did a beautiful job on the flowers for my ceremony and reception. She was very flexible in meeting, listened passionately to our desires and then added her personal touches to complete our vision. Everything was beautiful and everyone was very impressed! I fell in love with my bouquet and even dried it so I could have it for many years to come.
GUEST




My husband and I worked with Alison. I liked how Alison began by asking us how important flowers were to our wedding day. Our venue did not need extra flowers so we used Rutland for bouquets, centerpieces, and boutonnieres. Rutland was the only florist we met with to pull flowers from their shop to show us possible ideas. Alison asked us about all our decoration ideas and gave us advice on how to make our table numbers, etc. On the day of the wedding, the flowers were delivered right on time to my hotel room :) I will definitely be visiting their shop in the future. :)
GUEST




Alison of Rutland Beard florists helped transform my vision into reality. It was wonderful working with her throughout the process of planning my ceremony and bouquet flowers. She was inquisitive, knowledgeable, and professional. The ceremony and bouquet flower arrangements were gorgeous. Thank you Rutland Beard Florist for being a part of our special day.
GUEST




Alison at Rutland Beard was outstanding to work with, from start to finish! When we met with her for the first time, she took time to get to know us and really understand what we wanted for our wedding flowers. She had very creative ideas for us. We were clear that we needed to stick to our budget, and she not did not bat an eye. There was no pressure to spend more money, she was able to give us all of the flowers that we needed within our budget. She even personally delivered the flowers on the day of the wedding, and made sure that I (the bride) was able to see them right away. Outstanding service in all regards, and the flower arrangements were beyond beautiful. We would recommend her services to anyone looking for an exceptional florist! THANK YOU ALISON!

We had our flowers done by Rutland Beard and from the moment I met Li, I knew she was for us. She understood what I wanted even when I couldn't really explain what it was. Our flowers were beautiful. They had a nice crisp clean feel which I was looking for. I would 100% recommend them to anyone. I had a great experience with them!!! I never felt pressured into getting anything I didn't want or need. Li wanted me to have what I wanted for a wedding. She and this store are amazing!!!!!!
GUEST




Alison was extremely helpful, friendly, and had a great feel for what I wanted for my wedding. I know very little about flowers so I was counting on her to make suggestions and she did not let me down. After asking a few questions about me and my wedding plans so far, she gave me some ideas that I thought were perfect. My favorite part was the flower ribbon for the flower girl, which was adorable! We had arranged the time for delivery, but the night before I realized I would need the flowers earlier, so I emailed Alison and she said it would be taken care of - and it was! The flowers were beautiful and I can't imagine a better experience!

GUEST




I love Rutland Beard and always come to them when I need flowers. They always do a wonderful job!
GUEST




Alison was amazing! When I met with her, I knew what I wanted for my bridal bouquet, but was not sure about my bridesmaids. She was able to take a picture I showed her for my bouquet and make turn it into something even more beautiful than I imagined. For the bridesmaids, she walked me through what colors would look best with their dresses and complement my bouquet, but still letting the decisions be mine. My husband went with me to the consultation with Alison and when we were finished, he commented how easy she made it for us and enjoyed working with her. I wanted to make a few small changes to my order, and Alison was completely accommodating with them. All of the flowers were beautiful!!! And many of my guest commented on them. I am having my bouquet preserved so that I can enjoy it forever.

GUEST




I initially thought of getting family members do our flower arrangements for our wedding to save money, but I am definitely happy (with no regrets at all) of getting Rutland Beard Florist! Ms. Alison was more than willing to assist us every step of the way. She has worked her magic in bringing out wonderful arrangements and stay within our budget at the same time. I would definitely use them again! :-)
GUEST




Alison is the greatest florist! She listens and enhances your vision. You must try Rutland Beard at Ruxton for all your flower needs. I can't wait to organize a function just to order flowers again.
GUEST




Rutland Beard did an absolutely amazing job with my flowers. I received countless compliments and had breathtaking pictures taken thanks to the gorgeous bouquets that were made. Alison was such a friendly and helpful vendor to work with. My husband and I could not be happier with the way our wedding flowers turned out!!!
Vendor response to review
Thank you!!!! It was a pleasure working with you!
GUEST




Rutland Beard did a fantastic job with my wedding flowers. From the minute my Mom and I walked in the door to just see what they had in the planning stages - when we had not yet selected a florist - Rut was professional and informative, sharing information about calla lilies that we did not know and found extremely helpful. We ultimately selected Rutland Beard and found their calla lilies to be far superior to other florists' calla lilies.
Working with Alison on all of the details was a pleasure. She had fantastic suggestions and did a wonderful job with all of the flowers, while sticking in our budget.
Alison found a creative and subtle way to incorporate a family heirloom into my bouquet, which was very touching.
I am thrilled that we chose Rutland Beard and would do so again in a heartbeat.
GUEST




OMG! Alison was PERFECT!!! I met with her three times before the wedding, and you can just tell that flowers are her passion. She made them so awesome and beautiful, words can't express. So many compliments on the flowers. I LOVED them, when we arrived at the venue, the bouquets were in the bridal suite already, and in pots of water to stay fresh, just breathtakingly beautiful is all I can say. She was such a pleasure to work with.
GUEST




Alison did a fantastic job at capturing what I wanted for my wedding flowers. I did not know exactly what flowers I wanted when I went to see her, being that I did not know what flowers would be available at a good price in November. I just had general ideas about the colors and shape that I was going for. When I told her things that I had seen in pictures, she was also very realistic with me about prices and what would be beautiful and available for me. She did an excellent job painting a picture of what things would look like and would adjust things based on what I told her I wanted. On the wedding day everything looked perfect. I loved the ideas that she had and everything was more beautiful than I'd imagined. The flowers were also very good quality. I gave the head table centerpiece to my mother-in-law and she loved it. It has lasted over a week. Alison and her team really pay attention to the small details. I couldn't be happier with my wedding flowers.
GUEST




Rutland Beard did an amazing job with the flowers. During our consultation with them, they even had samples of the flowers I wanted to use set up so I could see them next to our color swatches. We has to make a couple last minute changes to our order and they were nothing but accommodating and responsive. On our wedding day, the flowers were there on time and they were all so fresh and beautiful! They made both the day and the pictures complete!
GUEST




Alison did a wonderful job with the flowers for our wedding! When I first met with her, I was so impressed about how passionate and thoughtful she was as she wrote up a proposal. She was very responsive with emails and questions. She went out of her way to help the day be as stress free as possible. The bouquets were BEAUTIFUL and the center pieces were perfect. She was able to to take my ideas and make them a beautiful reality. I definitely recommend Alison from Rutland Beard Florist!!
GUEST




Flowers were not important to me when I began planning my wedding but they soon became the one thing I focused on. Li was a pleasure to work with. She is a lady who loves her flowers and knows how to make them look amazing. I met with her 3-4 times and every time it seemed something happened and I was hours late and every time Li told it was fine, relax and everything will be ok. Everything was more than ok for the day of the wedding. The bouquets she made for the me and the bridesmaids where more than I could have asked for. I had told Li to go ahead and do what she thought for the centerpieces and they did NOT disappoint! You can put your trust in Li to make your wedding flowers everything you want!
GUEST




We worked with Allison at Rutland Beard Florist of Ruxton and she truly helped make sure my flowers were perfect. I was so torn between two distinct different styles. Allison helped me figure out what was right for me and my bridal party. The flowers were even more beautiful then I could imagine. And while flowers are always beautiful... some can be photographed better then others. I am very happy to say Rutlands bouquets and centerpieces are lovely in all of our photos. Flowers in general are expensive; however, Allison was able to find options to help save a much possible. We would recommend Rutland Beard Florist to our family and friends
GUEST




We worked with Allison for our wedding flowers - she gave life to our imaginitive yet undecided bouquets and ceremony arrangements. Don't know exactly what you want? Allison will make it happen. Know exactly what you want, but way over budget? Allison will work with you. We loved our flowers - the hydrangeas did not wilt (unlike flowers from another wedding I went to out-of-state).
GUEST




Alison was amazing!!! She had great ideas and worked with me on budget, yet kept everything gorgeous and classy. She was so responsive, the flowers arrived on time, and everything was perfect. The flowers are the best looking flowers I've ever seen, she tries to always work with local vendors and she was so sweet to work with.

Allison was more than helpful for my husband and I's wedding. She was flexible with our budget, yet didn't lose any creativity with the finished product. We even supplied some of the decorations, vases, etc., to help with cost, and she was more than happy to work with what we got. She loves what she does and it shows in her work. Thank you again Allison for helping make our wedding day beautiful ;)

She gave us awesome suggestions and was easy to work with! The flowers on the day of were beautiful! The centerpieces were keepers! Thanks so much, Alison!
GUEST




Hi Allison! When we received our flowers at the hotel, I was simply stunned at how beautiful and coordinated they were in relation to the girls’ dresses and our theme of ‘simply elegant.’ I loved the pale pink and white peonies, and the oriental lilies. Even the spray roses for the cake were phenomenal. We truly enjoyed working with you, and will recommend you to other brides. Thank you so much for being so great.
GUEST




Our flower were the best, The price was great, and everyone was very helpful
GUEST




I am very satisfied that me and my husband used Rutland Beard Florist for our wedding day. Alison (Li) initially sat me and him down and once we told her what our style was, she took it from there and knew exactly what we wanted. She is very flexible when it comes to budgets! Our bridesmaids flowers and bridal bouquet turned out to be so beautiful. I loved working with them and I would definitely recommend Rutland Beard to any bride looking for a vendor.
GUEST




Upon my meeting with Li, I knew that she was going to be able to translate the vision I had in my head for my wedding flowers into real flowers for that day. She sat down with me for several lengthy visits and worked to identify flowers that matched the look and colors that I envisioned. Her work turned out beautiful! I could not have been happier with everything that was done.
GUEST




Alison (Li) was so easy to work with... She has done countless weddings, has immense knowledge of what works and gave great suggestions. She was also very patient with me as my choices changed frequently! She also suggested great budget friendly options. I immediately knew that I had nothing to worry about - she would take care of everything and it would be perfect! My bouquet was stunning! The most beautiful bouquet I had ever seen! All of the flowers were gorgeous - JUST what we wanted!
GUEST




Alison (Li) Webb at Rutland Beard Florist was a delight to work with from our first consultation. She created gorgeous flowers for the wedding party and the reception that interpreted beautifully the Bride's ideas and coordinated perfectly with the rest of the decor. Moreover, the flowers were the only item that came in under budget! Mother-of-the-Bride
GUEST




I asked Lee from Rutland Beard to create a feel where my guests would be "walking through a field of wildflowers" as they ate dinner. She suggested a creative approach, seldom used at weddings, to do a "monochromatic" theme where every table would have a different flower but only one flower. We used terracotta pots for the natural touch and had peach, yellow, pink and white wildflowers. The tent looked outrageous and we had comments on the uniqueness all night.
This florist is one of the best in her field. Alision will sit down with the bride, listen to her vision for her floral design, and then will suggest the perfect floral arrangement. Alison has a sweet personality and customer service is top notch. I recommend her to my brides.
Rutland Beard Florist has industry experience that can't be beat as well as beautiful and modern arrangements for any occasion.
The staff at Rutland Beard Florist of Ruxton are unsurpassed in creativity and customer service. They are friendly and really listen to your needs. Their floral designs are always beautiful. Even a simple arrangement will look stunning. The over the top designs will take your breather away. Make sure you talk with them before making any decisions, you won't be disappointed.
We always love working with Rutland Beard Florist! Their fabulous flowers photograph so wonderfully! We can't wait to work together again! Natalie and Jamie
Without a doubt, Rutland Beard is one of, if not the most professional florists in the Baltimore Metro area. Their head designer, Alison Webb, is creative, considerate of her client's design aesthetic & budget, helpful and extremely hard working. They are able to provide arrangements ranging from simplistic to "high style", as well as everything in between. I have worked with a number of florists over the years and feel very relieved when my clients select Rutland Beard. I know, without a doubt, that they will be more than satisfied with the end result and the floral arrangements they provide will enhance, not overpower, the overall design of the reception.
Rutland Beard is one of the top florists in the Baltimore region! Their work is beautiful and the employees are so friendly, relaxed and, most importantly, knowledgeable!
