branch & bloom

I cannot say enough good things about Elaine. Our flowers were BEAUTIFUL and the service Elaine provided was unparalleled by any other florist I looked at working with. Her amazing service started with our first interview and meeting. My flower ideas were pretty simple; I had some ideas and I knew my theme (rustic, outdoors, northwest) and Elaine just ran with it. But instead of feeling like my ideas were the starting points and it was her show, like some of the other florists I interviewed, Elaine asked questions that elicited ideas from my that I didn't even know I had, but as soon as I said them, I knew I wanted. They were my ideas, through and through, but with her extra professional polish. Another florist had tried to turn me off of my idea of a big tulip bouquet as it would be "hard to keep looking fresh and would start to droop". When I mentioned this to Elaine, she made it clear that if that was what I wanted, she would make it happen - and she did!! It was also her (fantastic!) idea to make sure that the little ring bearers had magnets on their corsages so as to avoid sticking little people with pins. This was also used for the mother's corsages so their pretty dresses wouldn't be punctured or pulled. I wanted a very simple chuch decor since I was getting married in a Catholic church during a Lenten season, so she went (unsolicited) to the church to get ideas and make sure that the vases and clips she had recommended would actually work and the flowers we chose would not be overpowering. The day of, she was incredible. She came with all of the flowers in glass vases, individually decorated and labelled with the bridesmaid's or MOH's name and role - and mine, of course - and little cards that explained all the flowers and foliage that were in the bouquets, including the meaning behind each flower choice. She brought me a toss bouquet that I had not ordered (I wasn't planning on tossing a bouquet), because she wanted to make sure I had the opportunity in case I changed my mind. She also brought an extra bouttinere for my fiance/husband at no extra cost "because they often get squished with all that hugging." :) Finally, she brought embroidered towels and little baskets to hold the towels (which we got to keep!) to dry off the stems when we pulled them out of the vases, so they would not drip on our dresses. She also stayed at the church until it was about time to walk to make sure all the groomsmen and my groom had their bouttinere's on properly, helping them pin them straight. For the extra cherry on top, she had all of the flowers arranged on a table, with labels, cards, towels, baskets, etc.... in such a pretty way, my bridesmaids and I all stopped getting ready, just to take pictures of her display. I could not have asked for a better, more involved florist or better quality of service and product. The value we got from Elaine is par none. I highly, highly, HIGHLY...

Elaine is a truly gifted artist who desires to create your perfect wedding! The moment I met Elaine her entire focus was to listen and offer suggestions that fit with our unique ideas. She made appropriate suggestions that worked within our budget. She was always available and willing to put whatever time necessary for answering questions or meeting at the wedding venue for planning. We never once worried about the flowers/decor having total confidence that it would be beautiful. Elaine truly captured our vision with simple beauty and elegance. We received many compliments from our guests. Thank you for listening and making Michael and Nadya's wedding the unique day they desired.

Branch and Bloom did a remarkable job! I got married a month ago and my family and friends are still talking about how lovely the flowers were. I would recommend them for any wedding or event! You can't find a better florist!

Working with Elaine of branch & bloom was the easiest and most efficient and most fun experience. As a non-flower people and our first wedding, my daughter and I had no clue how to go about choosing flowers that would complement her color scheme nor which to place at the altar and tables, etc. Elaine guided us through the process and made us feel at home and at ease and confident that she was going to give us the most value for our money and beyond. Working with Elaine gave us peace of mind and her attention to detail far outreached our's! We didn't worry about the flowers at all. We knew she would do exactly what she said she would and keep the flowers within our budget. At no time, did we feel pressure to buy or order something we did not want nor need. Elaine lets the bride and bridegroom's personalities shine. I cannot rave enough about her and her "staff". I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND branch & bloom to ANYONE FOR ANY OCCASION! Mary Chamberlain

The flowers were beautiful and done to my budget. The whole wedding looked wonderful and I could not have asked for anything better!

We were incredibly pleased with Branch and Bloom. The flowers were stunning and Elaine had so many great ideas. She was very enthusiastic and worked with our budget. Our only recommendation would be to offer a service for take-down and pick- up. We highly recommend Branch & Bloom!

Elaine was my saving grace for my wedding day! I knew the color scheme I was going to use but had no idea what flowers to choose or how to put them together. I have never seen anyone be as prompt and organized as Elaine was. She listened to my ideas and gave her suggestions based on her impressions of myself and my style. Her ideas was were above and beyond my wildest dreams!!!! She had details and finishing touches that my family and friends are still raving about!! We just got back our wedding photos and the flowers look even more amazing than I remember!!!(my head was spinning the wedding day)! Basically Elaine was 100% everything I could have asked for in a florist! If you know exactly what you are looking for or (like me) needed a little guidance, she will blow your mind(as well as your guests) with her incredible eye for flower decor!!!

Elaine, the owner of Branch & Bloom, was absolutely amazing! She was more than a florist, she was a decorator, planner and overall wedding consultant. At the initial consultation, we talked about ideas, so she could understand our vision. The next time I met with her, Elaine drove an hour from her house to come to our wedding site to see the location. At the next few meetings, I saw examples of blooms, along with example centerpieces and candle arrangements she had created for me, and really was able to work with her on every single aspect of our decor. She was amazing! Elaine was professional, sweet, and provided over the top service throughout the whole process - she made me feel like I was her only client. She created an elegant, beautiful day for our guests, and I could not have done it without her. She focused on everything, from the big overall ideas, to the tiniest details, and I was more than ecstatic with everything she did. I would absolutely use Elaine's services again, and have already recommended her to a few of my friends who are looking for florists. She was perfect!

Working with Elaine Lemmer, the owner of Branch and Bloom, was an absolute joy. She not only provided floral services, but also helped with the overall decor and design of my wedding and reception. People have been raving about how incredible everything looked! Also, since my husband and I are both teachers, we were working on a rather modest budget. Elaine stayed within budget and I still ended up with a wonderful winter wedding that far exceeded my highest expectations. Without hesitation, I would recommend Branch and Bloom to any bride on any budget!

Branch and Bloom were exceptional in their service and creativity. I can not say enough about the high quality work. It was great fun working with this fine company and the super owner. I easily recommend Branch and Bloom for flowers at any special event.
