Jamie was a pure pleasure to work with. She was able to meet with me immediately once I contacted her, and from just that one meeting she more than exceeded my expectations of the bouquet I showed her. Her work is FLAWLESS and her pricing is more than reasonable. I was actually shocked and honestly a little skeptical about how inexpensive her prices were compared to other florist quotes I received. But don't be alarmed by that at all b/c her work is top notch! Definitely recommend her to all Tampa Bay and surrounding areas brides :)

I met with SO many florists/decorators before I signed with Jamie. I liked her easy going demeanor and even though my wedding had a lot of moving parts she didn't seemed overwhelmed at all. She stayed within my budget and gave me everything that I wanted. Our initial meeting was 2 hours! She didn't rush me or get frustrated during the planning process. I thought that with the budget I had I would have to give something up, but Jamie really worked with my budget and didn't try to nickel-and-dime me on everything. She gave me some great options when the flowers I wanted weren't in my budget and the overall look wasn't sacrificed at all. She even told me which items I could pick up cheaper than what she would charge me to save me $$$. I knew I was asking for more than just the regular centerpieces and bouquet and she had a lot to do in between the ceremony and reception. Jamie handled my flowers and draping. I'm was very picky about the draping and gave her my specifics and she got it spot on. I wanted Royal Blue roses, which don't naturally exist, so she had dye the roses. I was worried about getting the right shade of blue and Jamie NAILED it. They were absolutely beautiful! The decor was exactly what I wanted and I wouldn't have changed a thing. She really understood the look and I wanted and made it breathtaking! Jamie was always pleasant and I could tell she was truly excited about decorating my wedding. She was very reasonably priced, and I'm so glad she did my wedding!

Jamie from Flowers-By-Design is extremely responsive. She worked with my budget(which was small). I didn't have many flowers brought in because my wedding was in a garden. I wanted to really take advantage of what was around us!I had boutineers, corsages, my bouquet, maid of honor bouquet, cake topper and petals for the tables. I loved my bouquet but everything else was average at best. I didn't walk away talking about any of the flowers. I think for me and what I wanted and my price point she was good. I recommend her to anyone who may be in the same boat I was in. Small budget and wanted simple flowers.

I contacted Flowers By Design by recommendation from my venue. I also seeked 2 other proposals by some other florist in the area. I initially settled with Flowers By Design because of their extremely reasonable cost. I communicated countlessly with Jamie about my ideas. She always seemed to be on the same page and was very open to any changes that I had. I never met her in person or saw exactly what she was doing with my pieces. She did offer for me to stop by but I ended up being to busy with my wedding schedule. I was of course alittle nervous with this, but I did not stress about it. On the day of my wedding when the flowers arrived, I was speechless. They were absolutely goregous and exactly what I have envisioned. Jamie is wonderful about puttting your dreams into reality. After seeing my wedding pictures, it only confirmed what a good choice I had made. I highly recommended Flowers by Design for all of your floral needs.

Well all I have to say is WOW!! Jamie did an amazing job with my flowers. I admit I was a little nervous because I had never actually met her but she made me feel at ease after speaking with her on the phone a number of times. I was able to get my vision across to her over the phone, which I think is very difficult considering I have no idea about flowers or bouquets. I explained what I was looking for in my own words and she was able to translate it and deliver. My bouquet was exactly what I was looking for and when it arrived it made me even more excited about getting married. Jamie was very responsive and anytime I called and had questions she was very responsive. Jamie did an amazing job in every way and I wouldn't recommend her enough!

I met with Jaymie 2 months before my wedding. I have been looking around for a long time and with flowers by design i signed contract right away because i was very comfortable with the price. ( I did my homework as well and brought my color swatch and picture of how i want my wedding cremony and reception to look like) I did provided with some gems and 5 vases but it saved me lots of money and Jaymie and her team were able to execute the order. My bouquet is amazing and the centerpieces were very beautiful. The altar and aisle flowers are so pretty. Jaymie actually search for the aisle decor because i want something different than just a shepard hook. Overall it was a great experience and she keep me informed . Thanks Jamie

Working with Jamie Olson of Flowers By Design was GREAT! When we first met with her to discuss the vision for our wedding we knew she was the vendor for us. She’s such a warm and caring woman who is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the flower industry. She showed us a variety of flowers and photos of what we could do. Her prices were very reasonable compared to other florists we’d talked to. We were able to make changes to our work order until about 2 weeks before the wedding and Jamie would always answer my questions or make suggestions. My mom and I wanted to see a sample of our reception centerpieces and Jamie met us at our venue one day with the sample so we could see them on the tables and discuss some other items on our work order. On the day of the wedding, Jamie arrived at the venue early in the day to setup everything. She even put all our votives on the tables for us and decorated a fountain in the lobby of the venue. She is so creative and I LOVED everything she did! Jamie is a wonderful florist/designer and we highly recommend her!

Perfect!I had my ceremony in the courtyard of the Don Cesar beach resort, and the reception in the grand ballroom. Between the fact that it was a destination wedding, (so everybody was traveling home the next day and all the flowers would be trashed) and the already beautiful location, I did not want to have large, over-the-top, or expensive arrangements. Jamie was really helpful in bringing my vision to life while staying within budget. I was no flower expert, so she guided me to the flowers that would give me the most impact without breaking the bank. She only does events, and does not have a retail store front, which enables her to keep her costs down. She was the least expensive of the five local florists I spoke to, but the service and presentation were anything but cheap. Jamie is very professional, and responsive. Being an out-of-state bride, I signed a contract based on a phone call, and reading other reviews. When I was in town for my tasting, she offered to come to my hotel to meet with me to discuss details. I knew I made the right choice! I communicated with her best over e-mail. She is very clear about what you are ordering and how much each item costs, so there are no surprises. On the day of the event she had one of her assistants, Sarah, do the delivery and set-up. She made sure I had everything I needed, and everything was just as I imagined. I would recommend Flowers-by-Design to anybody who want's five star service without the five star price tag. Thanks Jamie and team!

Jamie and her team did a fantastic job on our flowers, and I would recommend her to anyone! She took the time to listen to our ideas, and she really understood our concept. She had lots of examples to show us, and had great ideas that really worked well. The flowers all came out exactly as planned and looked amazing! I was in love with my bouquet (hot pink peonies, ranunculus, and dahlias)! The girls' bouquets, corsages, bouts, and centerpieces were all gorgeous too, and they set up on time with no problems. Thank you so much Jamie for all you did to make our wedding beautiful!

Jamie did an amazing job for us at our wedding this past December. She helped me piece together the perfect atmosphere and I couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out! All 10 of my bridesmaids kept their flowers to dry out because the bouquets were so gorgeous and several guests fought over who would take home the centerpieces!! The flowers and decor were just beautiful and I can't thank you enough!-Jason and Stephanie

Jaime was great to work with! From our first meeting I knew she was going to be my wedding florist! She is very sweet, and really listens to what you want. The flowers and arrangments were perfect! The bouquets were so beautiful! She puts extra time and care into making everything and every detail looks perfect! She is very affordable as well and works with your budget to make the most beautiful arrangement possible. She even brought extra rose petals to put on my cake table with no extra charge. I didn't have to worry about a single thing, I knew Jaime would make sure it looked beautiful, and it did!

Jamie was very good to work with and helped me with my design choices which lowered my stress level. She always answered my calls and emails and stayed on top of her job with my wedding. This showed her professionalism and expertise which made my wedding perfect. I loved the flowers and draperies and everyone could not stop commenting on how everything was so beautiful. I would highly recommend FLOWERS-BY-DESIGN to all my friends and anyone who wants a perfect wedding. Thank you so much Jamie.

I just loved working with Jamie on my wedding flowers and decor. I had a limited budget but she helped me and worked with me and created the best bridal bouquet, and the bridesmaid's bouquets. The center pieces were amazing. I was thrilled at what my money could produce with Jamie's help and knowledge. She was very prompt with her communications via phone and email and also with the delivery of all the pieces for my wedding. If I ever get married again, I will definitely get in touch with Jamie (just kidding); but I will tell all my friends about her.

We couldn't have been any happier with the wedding flowers at our daughter's wedding and reception. The girls' bouquets were breathtaking! The arrangements in the church were perfect! And when I first walked into the ballroom where the wedding reception was being held I nearly cried -- the table centerpieces were unbelievably gorgeous! Jamie had listened to all our ideas and created everything perfectly. Yeah, we were a little nervous because we didn't see a preview of what we were getting ahead of time but we had no reason to worry. Jamie knew exactly what we wanted and she did it! So, if you're looking for a GREAT floral designer for your wedding with the best prices, look no further. You will be so happy you decided to go with Jamie at Flowers-By-Design!

Jamie did all the flowers for our wedding ceremony and reception. We met with her on a couple of occasions prior to the wedding and she was always friendly, professional, and on time. I had no idea what I wanted the first time we met but she was very patient and helped me come up with some great ideas. I was a little nervous about what the final product would look like but on the day of the wedding because I had only seen sample pictures and discussed the color scheme we wanted to use. However, when the bouquets were delivered they were GORGEOUS! Jamie coordinated the colors so well and the reception was even more beautiful than I could have even imagined. People raved all night about how beautiful the centerpieces were. She truly went above and beyond what I even expected. If you go with Flowers-by-design for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!

On the good side they always answered when we called and she was polite when we talked on the phone and met in person, but when we received the flowers the bridal bouquet was created wrong and the petals for the flower girls were fake and they needed to be real since the wedding was on the beach and they require real petals otherwise it is littering. We made sure that our order was correct the day before the wedding. So when we called them to request real petals to be brought and the bridal bouquet to be corrected the woman who answered just said "budget bride" and hung up. VERY RUDE! I'm guessing that since they got their money they were happy (not us) and that they didn't need to help us any further and fix their mistake. I would not suggest using them unless you plan to spend more than a thousand dollars then you might be treated respectfully from beginning to end.

We ended up choosing Flowers by Design as our florists simply because their price was the best. Jamie (the owner) is very flexible and worked with me to execute my vision, she was also very patient with me and accommodated all of the last minute changes I had. One thing I would is that she's hard to get a hold of. I realize she is very busy, and communicated with her via email for any questions or changes so that she could get back to me at her convenience. However, sometimes, I'd have to wait days sometimes a week, for a reply. Another thing I would have liked would be a meeting a few days prior to the big day with her to show us what we can expect our flowers to look like. That would be a nice service to provide. But in the end, everything turned out great. We needed our flowers delivered to 3 different places at certain times, and they were able to accommodate that. Our flowers turned out amazing, and Jamie turned my vision into reality perfectly. I was very happy with the results.
