Blooms Florist LLC

Blooms did a fantastic job for our recent wedding. They put together gorgeous works of art for the center pieces, which everyone commented on. Lots of people photographed them as well, which you don't usually see at a wedding. I thought I would have trouble giving them away at the post-wedding brunch, but people were almost fighting over who got to take them home. Blooms was able to quickly respond to day-of problems. The hotel made a mistake and set-up one table too many. Michael didn't know it was a mistake, and wanted to make sure there were enough center-pieces for each table. On the spot he came up with a solution that was so perfect I never even realized there were extra center-pieces. I wasn't crazy about the look of the Church where we had our ceremony. Blooms worked creatively with our altar decorations and the flowers along the pews that it really transformed the space. I would highly recommend Blooms for any wedding or event. Michael and his team worked hard to understand the look that I was going for, and ensured that the flowers perfectly accented all the other elements of the wedding. They are true artists and will create something beautiful and memorable for your special day.

Our centerpieces were beautiful... the perfect blend of uniqueness and sophistication. Most importantly, Michael was able to truly listen and create the vision my daughter had with regard to her bouquets, boutineers, ceremony touches and the table centerpieces. His confidence allowed us to trust his talents and taste. Thank you for making the celebration very special.

Michael, the owner of Blooms, was extremely accommodating and flexible. He listened to my wants and provided various options based on the budget that I needed to stick to. Once decisions were made, he took care of everything, which made the rest of the planning so much easier on me! My flowers and centerpieces were absolutely beautiful and couldn't have asked for anything more!Elena

Breathtaking!Michael and his staff exceeded all expectations. All the floral arrangements were just breathtaking -- from flowers on the church pews to the bride's bouquet to the reception centerpieces. Everything was just stunning. A year before the wedding my mom and I showed up for our first meeting with an overwhelming amount of floral pictures critiquing each one. He took our comments and created an experience that surpassed all of our dreams. Peonies were the flower of choice and the arrangements all played off of their full yet elegant appeal. The candelabra centerpieces stood tall and just glistened at our reception in the East Club Lounge at Heinz Field. Guests were just blown away by the beauty of the flowers. Thank you Michael for executing on every last vision my mom and I had for the day! You and your team were a joy to work with!

One meeting with Michael from Blooms and you will not go anywhere else! I gave him my theme, colors, and favorite flowers and he knew my style instantly! After meeting Michael, he not only kept in touch with me and my wedding planner, but he sent me a proposal the next day. when I saw my flowers, altar arrangements, and reception centerpieces, I was speechless. Every detail was perfect! I couldn't even have dreamed that my special day would have turned out as beautiful as it did. He even switched some things for me last minute and had no problems. If you set up a meeting with Michael from Blooms Florist, I promise that you won't go anywhere else!

Our flowers were absolutely beautiful! Michael was very professional and went out of his way to accomodate all of our requests. We enjoyed working with him.

Working with Michael was a joy. It was if he entered our minds, saw what we wanted and exceded our expectations. The wedding bouquets and the table centerpieces were stunning. We had to assign people to take home the centerpieces because everyone wanted them. Blooms offers unique arrangements and there work is unmatched.

We would STRONGLY recommend Blooms! Everything was done to perfection and was beautiful! Thanks

What can we say about two such incredibly talented people and their staff!!! Michael captured every vision we had in mind for our daughter's wedding. From the bridal party bouquets and boutonnieres to the glass cylinders lining the center aisle to the most magnificant chuppah anyone has ever seen (guests are still calling me to compliment how beautiful all the floral arrangements were) Now for the centerpieces, WOW, WOW, WOW!!! When my husband brought me into the William Penn Grand Ballroom prior to the wedding, I was speechless and had tears of joy!!! Blooms Florist added so much beauty to our daughter's wedding and we highly recommend them!!!Nancy and Jody Yuskovitz

Blooms was the florist for my wedding this past spring at the Duquesne Club. The flowers were beautiful and their customer service was outstanding. I never had a problem communicating with Michael and all the flowers were set up on time with no issues. My favorite was the way they decorated the fountain where my new husband and I exchanged our vows. What an incredible back drop for photos and for our guest view!

The flowers provided by Blooms were gorgeous! I never saw what they were going to look like and I was pleasantly surprised the day of the wedding! Michael worked with me to integrate more rustic fall elements into the beautiful and vibrantly colored flowers, blending rustic with elegant. Michael offered good advice as to what flowers I should carry that would match the elegance of my dress, while making the bridesmaids' flowers more fun and a little less formal. All my maids carried a bouquet comprised of one type of flower, each bouquet was different. Michael's floral expertise helped me pick which flowers would go together well. My bouquet was a mix of all the girls flowers plus a couple others. For the guys, Michael made wheat and hypernicum berry boutannieres and my husband had those with a mango calla lily. The boutannieres were wrapped in raffia and looked very "manly" :) The girls' bouquets were wrapped in beautiful fabric. Michael used fabric from my mom's wedding dress to wrap by bouquet beautifully and he also wired in a small metal elephant figure that was my late grandpa's into my bouquet so that it could be seen but wouldn't fall out.The flowers for our special guests, grandparents, and parents looked beautiful and matched their attire wonderfully. Michael also glued teddy bear sunflowers onto 12 manzanita branches we had purchased and delivered them to the reception site. Our unity candle arrangment was breathtaking--I was blown away when my husband and I walked up to light the candles. The flower girl's basket was also gorgeous!Working with Michael was wonderful. He was very funny and nice. I loved going to his store and playing with his kitten! My only "complaint" would be that I thought the bridesmaids' bouquets would be a bit larger, but I am a tiny person, so my bouquet couldn't be huge or it would look silly and I think he wanted my bouquet to be noticeably larger than theirs....

Blooms Florist was my daughter's dream florist for her wedding. Working on a small budget, we were afraid that flowers from Blooms Florist were out of our reach but Michael Jacobs made my daughter's dream come true!Michael was so friendly at our first meeting, that we left his shop feeling as though we had known him for years! He listened to my daughter's ideas and offered his own suggestions. He always answered our phone calls and emails promptly. I was so excited to see the flowers on the wedding day and I was not disappointed! Michael's vision and talent of bouquets and centerpieces reflected not only a classic elegance, but also brought in the rustic feel of the countryside where both of our families live.The wedding day may have been rainy (and a wee bit of snow) with temperatures only in the high 30s -- but the works of art that Blooms Florist created in the hues of orange, red and yellow (along with wheat) brought beauty and bursts of vibrant color and made us forget about the dismal weather outside.

Flowers were beautiful and artistic; staff was slightly less enthusiastic and approachable than other places I interviewed. My bouquets were gorgeous and exactly what I wanted, as were my table centerpieces but I was a little disappointed in the size of the main arrangements for the appetizers, escort card table, etc. Perhaps I had unrealistic expectations but I feel that is their job as the professionals to address that. They did exactly what we had discussed and nothing extra.

Using Blooms was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning. I met with three florists and Michael was so professional and easy to talk to. He saw our vision and the rest was in his hands. He was so particular; I knew that we could trust him. Going into the wedding day the flowers were the least of my concern since I knew Michael was handling them. The centerpieces, bouquets and alter flowers were perfect. The alter flowers which I did not give really any direction on (except to go with the same theme) were the most beautiful I have ever seen and the pictures are amazing.

Michael and his crew were amazing! Our guests are still raving about the ambience 5 months after our wedding! Michael took our ideas and created a vision for our wedding ceremony and reception that was far beyond our expectations. We shopped around at some of the best florists in Pittsburgh, and Michael was able to provide greater quality at a better price. We were so excited when we saw the venue for the first time, they surprised us and added some extra finishing touches that were stunning at no additional cost. The really did an amazing job!

Michael was very affordable in spite of the stylish designs that he provided for the wedding. We were able to work together to create the vision for the reception decor and he arrived very early to begin setting up for the day. He even helped to move tables to ensure that the flower arrangements were not disturbed when adjusting the table placement. I received so many compliments on the unique design and how beautiful the flowers were - he listened to all of my concerns and made sure everything turned out perfect.

If I could give Michael and the Blooms staff a 10 I would. There was no other florist we even considered for our wedding. Because there was no one else who even compared to what Michael can do with flowers! After meeting with Michael...I didn't even give him any direction other than to discuss the colors...Then said do what you do best. And, I could not have been happier with the final outcome. Both the ceremony and reception flowers were amazing. I don't know how he does it, but he created a masterpiece with the room.

Blooms did an amazing job for my wedding. Michael is so helpful and generous with his time, not to mention very creative. I explained what I had invisioned for my wedding and he helped create it. I received so many compliments on the flowers. I highly recommend Blooms for any bride who wants a truly beautiful wedding.

Everything was done exceptionally well and very responsive

Michael at Blooms did a beautiful job and was very accommodating every time we needed any changes!
