Did a Bloominous Trial

Mo, on November 20, 2018 at 8:39 AM Posted in Style and Décor 1 29
Flowers aren’t super important to me, but I do want real ones so I’ve been looking into Bloominous. I love the pictures I’ve seen but was hesitant about the whole shipping process so I did a trial bouquet. It was around $35 with free shipping for “Chef’s Choice” flowers - which I imagine is just whatever surplus of flowers they have on hand.
The box came through Fedex and there to has to be someone there to sign (luckily my neighbor works from home and was able to sign for me).

hen I got the order each flower/stem was individually wrapped very delicately. When you unwrap them, they’re what Bloominous calls “sleepy” and look a little dull. I trimmed them and put them in vases and they perked up within a couple hours. I got mostly roses and silver dollar eucalyptus (which smelled amazing). Bloominous instructs you to peel the outer layers of the roses that are dried out, which I did and they looked great.

The box came with the accessories to make a bouquet and boutonnières, but I only did the bouquet since we’re not doing boutonnières. I kinda quickly put together the bouquet cause I was tired and was more concerned about the shipping part of it all.

Anywho, here are the photos. I forgot to take them when they were wrapped in the box cause they’d been in the box for a few hours while I was at work so I wanted to get them into water ASAP.

Hope this is helpful for anyone looking into Bloominous!

    Also, I received the flowers on Friday and the flowers still look great. I’ll post a photo when I get home this evening!

    Hi Mo! These flowers look beautiful! I have never heard of this company before, but it's a really interesting concept! The flowers they sent you look so lovely, especially with all of the greenery! Do you plan to use this company for your wedding day?Smiley kiss

    Awesome! I'm doing Bloominous, but I haven't done a trial, I was just gonna hope for the best. This gives me a little more faith! They are SO affordable and so far they've been really supportive, calling to explain things to me, emailing me back within an hour when I have questions, it's great! I wish my local vendors were this available!

    You did a really nice job putting the bouquet together! I thought about doing some of my own flowers, but ended up being too busy and just had our florist do everything. Seems like you made a good choice going with this company!

    I think these are gorgeous - I love the different shades of pink. I always think tones of the same color look super put together!

    Those look great!

    I also used Bloominous for my wedding two weeks ago and it mostly worked out really well. My only complaint is that my orchids died. They overnighted me new ones to be delivered the day of the wedding, and those didn't look great either. I was disappointed cause there were a lot of them and they're so beautiful, but we were able to use a few and overall, the flowers for the wedding looked really great. I will say it was more work than I thought it would be, though, and we only did a bridal bouquet, a bout, a bridesmaids bouquet, and an arch arrangement. I wouldn't have been able to do it without out the help of 4-5 people.

    These are beautiful!! Glad to hear you had a good experience online, I ordered my flowers for my 8/24/19 wedding from fiftyflowers.com, and know it’s a gamble (but raving reviews online give me some comfort)!

    Thanks! Assembly was pretty easy/simple. I didn’t put a ton of effort into it honestly. It helps that I didn’t have a picture in my head since they were “chefs choice” flowers. It will probably be a different story when I’m doing my bridal bouquet.

    Good to know! I’ll try to stay away from orchids in my bouquet.

    Putting it together wasn’t hard and didn’t take long but I also wasn’t trying to go by a certain picture since the flowers were “chefs choice.” I think it’ll take more effort when I’m using a pre-designed bouquet.

    Yea, they’re really helping me save in the flower department! I wanted to just do it without a trial but my future MIL insisted I test it out first. Definitely a good experience based of the trial.

    I think it might have been an issue with the warm weather? I plan on writing an email to my consultant to let her know what happened so hopefully they can avoid the issue in the future.

    I was super impressed with their customer service though and they completely customized arrangements for me based on one of their packages (pineapple party).
