Kind Words & Shared Moments
Testimonials
At Bloom & Gather, we believe flowers have the power to transform spaces and bring people together. Here is a look at the stories we’ve had the honor of helping tell, told by the clients who lived them.
I was absolutely blown away by the floral arrangements Carrie Riker at Blom & Gather Floral design created for my March Madness work event. Since this was a basketball-themed event I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect when it came to florals — but she completely exceeded every expectation. She took the theme and ran with it, creating arrangements that were not only beautiful, but creative, fun, and perfectly tied into the event.
The attention to detail, the color combinations, and the creativity were incredible — you could truly feel the passion she has for what she does in every single piece she created. She somehow made flowers feel exciting and fitting for a basketball event, which is no small task! The best part? Even the men at the event were commenting on how amazing the arrangements were and asking about them, which says everything.
She made the whole process so easy and stress-free. I gave her my theme, and she completely brought it to life in a way that exceeded anything I could have imagined.
She will absolutely be my go-to for every event moving forward. Whether it’s corporate, personal, elegant, or themed, she has an incredible eye and talent for making something truly special. I encourage everyone to use her – you will not be disappointed.
Bloom and Gather Floral Design has brightened up my table settings, my day, and the days of others I have gifted arrangements to. Carrie is approachable, readily available to chat, and so very talented. She listens to what I am looking for, and what my budget is. And, if I don’t know what I want? I trust her 100% to put something together that will impress – and she nails it every time. So glad to have this local, woman-owned business to support and fulfill my floral needs.
Carrie did an amazing job with our centerpieces. For a Type B Bride like me, I knew I was going to be taken care of the moment we got connected. She shared her expertise and recommendations on the flowers and styles based on some inspiration I shared with her. It was hard for me to describe what I envisioned as most flower shops go a very standard route. She helped me with deciding on the flowers and I really just trusted her to bring my dream flowers to life and she did. We had the most beautiful white and green elegant arrangements. She set them up the day of the event which required no help from me and I just got to show up and enjoy them!! I’ve kept them around my house to admire since the reception
Working with Carrie at Bloom and Gather was an absolute delight. She created floral arrangements for both my daughter’s baby shower and a 40th birthday celebration, and each exceeded my expectations.
Carrie has a remarkable ability to capture the spirit of an event. From charming tea-party centerpieces arranged in vintage creamers and teapots to a sophisticated, masculine focal arrangement for a birthday celebration, every detail felt thoughtful and unique. Her flowers were beautiful, distinctive, and received countless compliments.
Just as impressive was her service. Carrie was responsive, organized, on time (often early), and even helped set up the shower tablescapes.
Carrie doesn’t just create beautiful floral arrangements—she creates memorable experiences. Bloom and Gather will be my first call for future celebrations.
I was introduced to Bloom & Gather Floral Design when we received a floral arrangement for a family memorial. The flowers made such an impression that I recently ordered two floral arrangements for a friend’s memorial. Carrie’s customer care was amazing, and the delivery process was seamless. Once again, she created stunning arrangements. Our friend reached out to thank us and mentioned that the flowers were “the most beautiful flowers they had ever seen.” The butter roses were gorgeous. I highly recommend Carrie for any of your floral needs.
Working with Carrie is such a wonderful experience! She has an eye for detail and creates the most beautiful floral designs that feel thoughtful, and unique. Every arrangement she creates is done with so much care, creativity, and attention to detail. Her talent truly shines through her work, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for stunning florals. She is a florist who genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life!
