Wessel's Florist

Wessels did a FANTASTIC job. Not only were my flowers beautiful, but the Chuppah, the basket for the gift table, the chair decor, centerpeices, and the beautiful rose petals scattered on the aisle were just perfect. It is exactly what I wanted and I had so many complliments during our wedding day. It made our beautiful November Day even more beautiful. Hats off to Dave for a absolutely tremendous job!!!!

My wedding bouquets came out perfect. however my centerpeices were not quite what we had discussed but they did give me 50% of the centerpeices in a store credit for future purchases

I had a great consultation in Ellicott City and felt great about choosing this vendor. My in-laws were kind enough to pick up the tab for the flowers. They added an arch to the order and asked the florist to keep it a secret. He promptly let that cat out of the bag and didn't apologize for it until months later, the night before the wedding, via email. I asked for no roses and, although it was not written onto the order, I thought that decision was understood. The flowers were beautiful and not overpriced, but there were roses in every bouquet and aisle adornment. The two girls who came to set up the venue, before the ceremony, were absolutely lovely. Dave was not nice to my in-laws and got snippy with them, which seemed very different from his demeanor in my initial consultation, perhaps because my business was not yet secure. Overall, I think the value was great and the final product was very nice, but if you're looking for a super professional experience, this particular experience was kind of flawed.

Wessels is a really great place to go when you want beautiful flowers that aren't too pricey. I absolutely loved the bouquets that Wessels made for my bridesmaids and I. The color palette was perfect- they popped so well against the bridesmaid dresses! They were exactly what I had envisioned for the day! A couple of details in the other flowers weren't quite what I'd had in mind, though- the hair flowers came on a barrette instead of the comb I'd asked for and two came off of the barrettes so I couldn't wear them. Also, the person setting up the centerpieces forgot the mirrors under the square vases, which wasn't a huge deal- they centerpieces were beautiful regardless, just missing that extra detail that I was really looking forward too. They gave me a gift card to make up for it. Overall, though, Wessels did a great job and were absolutely wonderful about working within our budget, which was very important to us.

Wessels Florist did an amazing job on the flowers for our wedding. They bouquets, reception arrangements, etc. were absolutely equisite!!!!

Dave from Wessel's met with me to design the flowers. He asked me what I liked and then gave me tons of ideas and options. Every thing was delivered in great condition. We were also able to borrow columns for the ceremony and return them (on our own) for no charge. Everything was beautiful.

Wessel's was able to take what I had dreamed and make it a reality. I wanted calla lilies for the bridal party and then orchids at the reception for the center pieces. They were able to show me the different options for each which help me make decisions on the color of flowers. I received many comments on how beautiful the flowers were. You will not be disappointed.

Our flowers on our wedding day were beautiful. In our consultation, Dave helped choose flowers that fit my vision as well as recommend other ways to incorporate flowers into our wedding and decor without being pushy. Communication was usually prompt and thorough.

In additional to the personal bouquets and bouts, Wessel's created beautiful arrangements for our ceremony, escort cards, and creatively decorated bird cages that I supplied. All the arrangements were well done and cohesive with each other.

My only disappointment was that I provided a specific photo of a bouquet that I wanted, and the plan was for the style was able to be replicated (with a couple changes to flower choices which we discussed). The bouquet that I was provided did not quite capture the original vision that I had for my bouquet. It ended up being more "rosey" than leafy than my inspiration photo was and what I was expecting. Another disappointment was that it had purple flowers included in it as well, as nowhere in my communication did I give purple as a desired color.

Even though my bouquet wasn't exactly my dream bouquet that I had envisioned, it was still beautiful and it certainly didn't ruin my day. All of the arrangements were beautiful and well done.

Overall Wessel's was great to work with and I was pleased with the flowers they provided.

Wessels did a fantastic job of my wedding flowers- it was truly my dream decor!

They coordinated everything with my other vendors too.

I would definitely recommend them.

I LOVED the way my flowers turned out for the wedding. They were exactly what I hoped for. Wessel's spent a lot of time with us at our initial planning session and showed a lot of creativity helping us plan our bouquets and centerpieces. They also have a large stock of vases, pedestals, and options for your ceremony and reception. We felt like things were fairly priced but they seemed to be pretty competitive with the rest of the florist's. We were able to save money by using our high and low reception centerpieces as arrangements on high and low columns for the ceremony. The Wessel's staff even stayed to help the venue staff move the floral arrangements into the reception. We were incredibly glad we chose Wessel's to do our flowers.

Wessel's has amazing, friendly, professional, talented staff that are with you every step of the way choosing your florals. Their contract is comprehensive so you can see the breakdown of everything you are purchasing, which allows you to make decisions about where cuts can be made if necessary or where you would like to add. We've had NOTHING BUT COMPLIMENTS for the flowers at the reception. Thank Wessel's for allowing me to think outside the box about my centerpieces and for making that out of the box vision a reality. My bouquet was absolutely stunning and I can't imagine myself holding anything else during the ceremony!

I chose Wessel's Florist to do the flowers for my wedding and I have pretty mixed feelings about them. Overall, I would not recommend them to other brides.

Everything up to the actual wedding day was fantastic. Jody met with me numerous times to finalize my vision and my goals for the flowers at my wedding. However, the day of...the reception decor was NOT what I had ordered or discussed with them at all. They didn't match any of the other decorations. The flowers were the wrong color, and they had used moss as a filler even though I specifically asked for no moss. Needless to say, I was upset and did not feel as though I got my money's worth.

I gave them a good rating for responsiveness because once I complained, a got a call immediately from their corporate office. She explained that they weren't able to get the flowers I ordered...so they scrambled to do the best they could. Personally, I would suggest other brides hire other vendors who plan in advance to DO the best they can and deliver what was promised. I paid for a large, tight arrangement of a specific flower. What I got was a loosely arranged small pile of moss and the wrong flowers.

I know in their contract it states that they can do flower substitutions if need be, but it is my belief that if the final result is going to deviate that far from what was paid for...then they should refund some money. Instead I got a gift card to their flower shop. A nice gesture, but it doesn't do me any good in the long run. I still paid too much money for something I didn't get. Overall, very disappointing.

I am SOOOOOO disappointed with this florist and how they handled the wedding flowers. I had high hopes for the flowers, since Jody really seemed to understand what we wanted and was very helpful during our initial meeting. Plus, we had bouquets delivered for other occasions and they were beautiful. However, leading up to my wedding it was difficult to get in contact with Jody and before we signed the contract, I had to keep sending it back due to errors in the amounts specified, price, or types of flowers. It took us several tries to get the contract correct before signing. The day before my wedding I was set to pickup hair flowers and did so, but when I got them home, I realized that they were wilted and some looked like they were scorched. We called Wessel's back and they said something happened to the cooler and it was actually sending out heat - - but no one had apparently checked my flowers before giving them to us. Also, the hair flowers were HUGE with HUGE stems that would be difficult for placement (not like what I had discussed originally). It gets worse. The day of the wedding, I got a phone call at 9:30 am asking why I was not at the shop to get my bouquets.....we had agreed that all my flowers would be delivered to the venue at 4pm. The woman I spoke with called me back and apologized, confirming that she mixed up my order with another bride's and that my flowers would indeed be delivered by 4pm. But when I got to the venue at 5pm, no flowers were in sight. Multiple people tried to call Wessel's and the contact #s we had for Jody but no one answered. We started to discuss ways to get replacement flowers (maybe from a nearby grocery store..) when they arrived at 5:30 pm. My wedding was scheduled to begin at 6pm. When they did arrive, my bouquet was too huge and heavy to carry and the bridesmaids' bouquets, which I asked to be small (around 6 inches in diameter) were double that size or more. I could not fit my hand around the bouquet to hold it it was so huge and heavy, too. So right before I walked down the aisle, my mother took the bouquet apart, taking out about half of the flowers so I could actually carry it. I was late walking down the aisle because we were waiting on flowers....and the centerpieces were also very sparse for what we paid for and not spectacular at all. I feel like I was ripped off and treated badly and dealing with this debacle added stress to a day that was otherwise stress-free. I hate to give bad reviews, but this was so terrible that I have to say something. I only gave the 1 star b/c the initial service was good.

I absolutely loved working with Wessels. I worked with Jody and she understood the exact vision that I had for my wedding. I loved my Calla boquet, and she even sent pictures to my cell the day before the ceremony to make sure I liked them. The flowers at the reception were amazing as well, and just what I had pictured... softly flowing tulips! I was worried that my "pink" theme would be too much, but they made it perfect.

I visited Wessel's due to their location. I chose Wessel's because of the ease of working with them. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They were accommodating and patient. Even the day before my wedding, when things weren't quite right, they stepped right in and made the changes I asked for. I would recommend Wessel's to anyone, not just brides.

We had amazing flowers from Wessels and the delivery was so smooth. I could not have asked for a better florist! Their designs were beautiful. The centerpieces were absolutely amazing.

I would just like to thank Wessel's for the wonderful personal flowers that they provided for my wedding this past weekend. From start to finish, working with Wessel's was a joy. We met with Drew who listened to our ideas and theme and suggested many great blooms to achieve the look and feel we wanted. Unlike the other florists we met with, Wessel's showed us actual pictures of all the flowers (which was great for someone like me who lacks a green thumb) so we could really picture what he was describing.

When the bouquets, corsages, and boutonniere’s arrived (on time) the day of the wedding, the colors were perfect. The bouquets were the right size and more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. The flowers looked great throughout the entire day (and several days later) and did not wilt or break. I would highly recommend Wessel's to anyone in the Ellicott City area looking for a florist.

Wessel's designed my bouquet for me and supplied flowers for my centerpieces - I was stunned at the quality and freshness of the bouquet, as well as the service and reasonable prices. I was recommended to Wessel's from the person who decorated my cake at Sweet Bakery, Tracey, and I will continue to recommend them to friends in the future as well. Thanks for everything Wessel's!

Wessel's was the one of the two best decisions that I made for my wedding. Drew's designs were imaginative and different and far from looking like typical wedding flowers. The colors perfectly complimented my bridesmaids dresses and linens and the flowers lasted all night. Amazing Amazing Amazing!

I could not have been happier with the arrangements Wessel's prepared for our ceremony. We gave them a specific framework to work within and they gave us exactly what we needed. Very easy to work with and the pricing was very reasonable. We would definitely recommend Wessel's.

Wessel's took care of our ceremony flowers. They were gorgeous! Jody did a great job of realizing our vision on our first meeting- she improvised and created something that was exactly what I wanted!

Wessel's Florist did an outstanding job with our wedding flowers. They delivered on exactly what we were looking for at a price we could afford.

They blew me away with the creative designs for my wedding. I gave a general look and feeling I wanted and they ran with it. Everything turned out better than I had imagined. Jody was so helpful in making sure I got what I was looking for and I could see that she was truly excited for me.

The flowers ROCKED!!!! I can't say much more. You guys did a fabulous job. From the ceremony to the reception, everyone commented on how the colors popped and added such nice backdrops for the pictures. You offered great advice to a bride who had no idea what she wanted, you truly know your stuff! You made me look good ... thanks :o)

The flowers were beautiful, and my bouquet was awesome! They were so helpful with keeping us with our price range but still giving us the best they had.

Giuli Cox was a pleasure to work with! She worked with us to get the look we wanted for a price that fit our budget. We completely changed our colors after we had already finalized the proposal and Giuli gladly revised our flowers and arrangements. We gave her a picture of a bouquet we liked and she recommended some modifications to fit our wedding. The bouquets and centerpieces were gorgeous and looked just like the picture we provided! Giuli went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend her.

Wessel's Florist was fabulous! I went there because they are known for their wedding flowers and I loved what they did for me. My bouquet was breathtaking and the bridesmaids and groomsmen's flowers were great too. They are busy, but they designed my wedding with me according to who I am. They added flowers to my cake and did all the centerpieces. I did it all in green and white flowers. It looked like a garden party. They came in and set up and I didn't even see them. It was the easiest part of my wedding. The caterer was another story.
but the flowers made the wedding.

I worked with Julie at Wessels and loved, loved, loved my flowers. They were my favorite part of my wedding. Everyone, even the photobooth attendant said that they had never been to a wedding with such amazing flowers. I showed Julie a few photos and talked about my ideas and I was completely blown away by how they looked and her creativity. She came up with great ways to reuse the ceremony flowers for the reception and while they were pretty pricey she made it fit within our budget. We asked for a few changes prior to the wedding (adding tables etc.) and were accomodated with no problem. There were also people who moved the arrangements from the ceremony location to the reception. I would highly recommend Wessels I even went to the trouble of getting my bouquet preserved which I never thought I would do.

They were very nice and walked us through the whole thing because we didn't know anything about flowers. They were also very flexible with what we wanted (special ivy in bouquet, half-chuppah).

Absolutely beautiful floral designs created by Jody and the team at Wessel's. Flowers are one of my favorites to photograph at weddings and Wessel's designs are always unique and gorgeous. Their exceptional service combined with friendly professionalism ensure a great experience for brides and grooms.
