    Absolutely beautiful flowers at a reasonable price

    Back Bay Florist was absolutely incredible for my May wedding, the week before Mother's Day. They were able to accommodate us on somewhat short notice with incredibly reasonable prices and gorgeous flowers, that we are still receiving compliments on. They delivered exactly what I was looking for in bridesmaid bouquets with peonies and white roses, a gorgeous matching large bridal bouquet, white rose boutonnieres, and center pieces to match. The flowers were fresh, full, and made the room look absolutely beautiful. Additionally, Dierdre was a pleasure to work with and the delivery and setup went very smoothly. Would recommend Back Bay Florist to anyone looking for beautiful and classy floral arrangements for any occasion!

    Amazing Florist for Wedding!

    I worked with Deirdre to create the bouquets and decorations for my wedding. She was absolutely amazing. Every-time I would email her, she would respond immediately. I had a very intricate design in mind for the inside of my venue and she didn't even think twice about it, she did it and it was beautiful. There was also a specific flower that I wanted to have in my bouquet for sentimental reasons and she went above and beyond to find this flower- she has to go to multiple markets and reached out to all different vendors and she was able to find it for me! She was so helpful during my wedding and I would encourage anyone planning their wedding to go with Back Bay Florist.

    A few weeks ago we went into the Back Bay Florist, 2 days before our intimate wedding (We had travelled from abroad), unsure of what we wanted but with some vague ideas for colours and some pictures of the room. We left it in the florists hands and we are so glad we did, they were so beautiful!! The pictures really speak for themselves...but I just wanted to say thank you from myself and my husband we were so happy with the outcome and the flowers just looked beautiful in the room!!! I would highly recommend your shop, you exceeded our expectations!!

    Highly recommend Back Bay Florist! The arrangements they did for my wedding were out of this world gorgeous! The staff was SO easy to communicate with, responded so fast and it was like they basically read my mind when it came to what I wanted everything to look like! You are definitely getting beautiful, quality work...I will definitely be ordering any arrangements from them in the future!

    Back Bay Florist is the neighborhood shop we have come to love and trust. With that in mind, we were confident that Kate and the team could produce superior quality & elegant arrangements for our wedding, without breaking the bank.

    Ours was a large winter wedding at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown Boston. The Back Bay Florist experience was 5-star - Stellar customer service, creative guidance & flexibility, smooth & cheerful delivery, and the most impressive end product!

    Our guests raved & we did too. Couldn't have been happier. These guys nailed it!

    I can't even express how amazing it was to work with Kate! She was incredibly responsive, creative, flexible, and very reasonably priced. The flowers were beautiful and I loved that she was so willing to use my vintage vessels and listen to all my ideas. The price was amazing for what you get and considering I received quotes from over six different florist from every different price point and experience level she was absolutely the most economical option while still delivery a quality product.

    Our flowers were everything I could have hoped for. Back Bay was awesome, and worked with our budget, while focusing on all of the details we wanted. They were great to work with!

    We found Backbay Florist just one month before our August Wedding because our previous florist wants to stop the contract suddenly. Since we have very limited time, I was kind of concern about finding another florist in such a short time. But whole experience with Backbay was so wonderful and smooth. They were very responsive and put together a contract very quick. They could accurately get my idea and delivered exactly the wedding style in my mind. Kate, our florist, was very considerate. She went to the rental company and collect price information for different vases so that we can manage our budget. She even made me a sample bouquet at the first consulting time just for me to have a idea about how it would look like. And their price is very friendly!!! I have spoken to several florist around boston area, Backbay's price is the modest one. I really recommend Backbay florist !!!

    Kate is extremely responsive, friendly and kind. She worked with our budget and still presented us with beautiful flowers on our wedding day. She worked with us to get vases that the guests could take home but were cost effective. The flowers bouquets and centerpieces were gorgeous.

    I was planning my Boston wedding from Florida and was only able to make one weekend trip to Boston to find vendors. We had our list of florists we were going to visit and Back Bay Florist was our first stop. After meeting with Kate, we didn't bother visiting any of the other florists. We knew she was the one. I gave Kate more of my dislikes than likes. She understood what we were looking for right from the get go.

    On our wedding day, she and her crew arrived early to begin their set up. I couldn't believe how well she saw my vision just from a few magazine cut outs and email conversations. Everything came together just beautifully!

    Kate does a wonderful job and I would highly recommend Back Bay Florist for all your floral needs!

    I cannot praise the professionalism and work of Back Bay Florist enough! We had a vision for our wedding reception, to mix masculine backgrounds with very feminine flowers. I did extensive research on florist in Boston, met with a couple of them and found Kate at Back Bay Florist to be the most professional and creative. She was not turned off by our desire to have budget friendly designs and also our idea to reuse the ceremony flowers in the reception space. Kate always replied to emails and phone calls with an enthusiasm that made you feel like she was excited to be working on our wedding and shared our desire to make it as awesome as possible.

    When the day came, the flowers were delivered on time and in some cases early, which made our preparation so simple! Many of the guests commented on how fragrant the flowers were and they looked absolutely stunning! Kate captured our vision exactly and I couldn't be more happy with the final look of our wedding.

    Over all, working with Kate and Back Bay Florist was an absolute dream and our wedding ceremony and reception was beautiful because of their work. Their professionalism, attention to detail, respect of budget and over all good nature was such a blessing during our planning process. I would HIGHLY recommend Back Bay Florist for any of your wedding or any other event where you need gorgeous flowers and decor!

    I had emailed another florist and was going to go with them until they stopped responding to all my emails for no reason. Am I glad they did! Otherwise I never would have used Back Bay Florist and Kate. I went with Back Bay florist for a couple reasons. First, Kate was so responsive and accommodating. I loved the look of the flowers they had on their website, and after my first email I never waited more than a few hours for a response. We also did the centerpieces ourselves, and had Kate do the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres ( which some florists were not ok with, but was not a problem for Kate).

    I had a vague idea of what I wanted for flowers and gave Kate some inspiration photos and she nailed them. My bouquet was perfect, and despite having hydrangeas in it and being out of water during the day, lasted a solid week and a half after my wedding. The bridesmaids' flowers, corsages, and boutonnieres were all exactly what I had in mind as well. They delivered on time and made planning extremely easy. The flowers were perfect, and compared to pricing at other florists, they are EXTREMELY reasonable. I would highly recommend Kate and Back Bay Florist wedding flowers.

    Kate was incredible throughout the entire planning process, and our flowers were perfect on the day. I had a general idea of what I wanted, but really was just hoping for a florist to be the expert, and I came to the right place! They were very friendly with my budget, too, allowing me to customize exactly what I needed, nothing more and nothing less. I appreciated the flexibility with a last minute bridesmaid cancellation, etc. Highly recommended!!!

    I planned our wedding entirely from abroad, which made things like finding reliable vendors a challenge. Not being able to meet with people in person, I relied on word-of-mouth and internet references. That can be scary for a bride!

    I found Back Bay Florist through Google and ended up going with them because they fit our budget, unlike many of the other bigger name places in the city. I took a chance and I'm so glad I did. Kate was so easy to work with, and even though I give her just a few images to use as inspiration, I showed up on our wedding day to exactly the bouquets, boutonnieres and aisle bouquets that I had imagined. The best part about the process was that on the day, I never thought about the flowers other than to admire how beautiful they were; there were no phone calls from the florist, no last minute emergencies, not a single stem out of place. Everything was just as we'd discussed and absolutely stunning.

    Kate did an amazing job on our wedding flowers, I cannot thank her enough for the beautiful job she did on our bouquets and bouts as well as our centerpieces. I greatly appreciated the time Kate took to explain my options for flowers that worked in my budget. She essentially provided me with a flower workshop to put together my bridal bouquet and our centerpieces so there were no surprises on the day of the wedding. Everything looked exactly how I had wanted for my wedding day. I appreciated her patience with my endless questions and uncertainty as a flower novice. Both she and Ross were wonderful to work with and so friendly when we came into the store or called for information and to finalize details.

    Back Bay Florist worked with our budget and we highly recommend them.
