From the moment I walked in the door at the Island Florist I knew that I had found the perfect florist for our wedding. The shop is owned/ran by a wonderful husband/wife team who take the time to listen to your ideas. They matched our flowers to my groom's and my personalities perfectly. We wanted simplicity with elegance at a good price. The Island Florist created exactly what we had envisioned. Plus the quality of the flowers were supreme. Since Anna Maria is a destination wedding for many couples, long distance communication is very important for all aspects of the wedding. The Island Florist stayed in contact with me and answered all of my questions quickly and to my satisfaction. When planning your special event on Anna Maria be sure to choose the Island Florist!

Herbert,
Let me start by thanking you for your warm wishes. The flowers were beautiful and enjoyed by all. Your gift of an arrangement was very special and such a beautiful greeting upon arrival to the ceremony and reception. Everything was great from beginning to end. What a beautiful island, thank you for sharing it with us!
Sadly, I did not make it to your shop for our visit, but now I have an excuse to return. Our family and friends enjoyed their stay and all want to return for vacation next year! It was great meeting with you and I hope next time I can meet Birgit.
See you next year!

Dear Herbert & Birgit,
Thank you for the excellent service that you provided us for our daughters wedding on November 29th 2008. The flowers were more beautiful than we could have envisioned, and the service was even better. With all of the "other" worries that come with planning a wedding from 1500 miles away, it was very nice to be "worry-free" with regards to the flowers. When we first saw the wedding arch, it took our breath away. The flowers were truly the most beautiful ones on the island that day! In addition to your excellent service, we also appreciated your reasonable costs. Thank you again for making our daughters day perfect, and it is with pleasure that I can recommend you to any future clients.
Sincerely, K. H.

Herbert and Birgit,
A. and I just want to thank you for everything that you have done for us. It was a pleasure to work with you both. You have an eye for detail. And like you said it was so easy to work with you. We also want to thank you for taking the time out to set up our arrangements for the arch. It was very much appreciated! As we left the shop that day of the wedding we were both excited to see our visions of the flowers come true. They were so beautiful! We received so many compliments on them. We will definitely stop by next time we are on the island. Thanks again!
J. and A.

Herbert:
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to show S. and myself her wedding flowers on Saturday, September 13, 2008. I enjoyed meeting you and your wife.
The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and so colorful for their wedding. Thank you for staying around to see the wedding and if I had known you were there, I would have bought you and your wife a drink. I hope to return to Anna Marie Island in the spring, and I will try to stop in and say Hi.
You have a great web-site and I will recommend you to anyone who is planning a wedding in the area so they will have the beautiful flowers my son and daughter-in-law had at their wedding.
Have a great fall and winter.

Dear Herbert and Birgit
Thank you very much for your email and I will pass on your congratulations to the happy couple when I next speak to them on their honeymoon. The wedding flowers were so beautiful and were the topic of many a conversation. The colours matched the bride and bridesmaid's outfits to perfection and were so simple but so pretty. The groom and best man wore blue shirts so their buttonholes matched just right.The arch piece was stunning and after the ceremony it was placed on the main table and L. took it back with her. She said yesterday that it has only just died and she has taken some petals to dry so she can bring them home with her. The wedding was a great success and your flowers made it just so perfect. We couldn't have done it without you - thank you so much.

Well we are back in the UK and feeling pretty down leaving Paradise but we hope to return next year.

Best Wishes
S & P F.

Herbert,

Wow! What can I say but thank you, thank you, thank you! You were so very helpful with my wedding from picking out the perfect flowers to recommending hotels to trying to track down someone to do our hair on the wedding day – it was amazing! The flowers were beautiful and I could not have been more pleased with them. It was such a pleasure to meet and work with you. You helped make my day so special and so perfect. Thank you so much for everything. BEST FLORIST EVER!!
All my love - JC

Hello Herbert!  R. and I wanted to thank you for the flowers.  It was wonderful to work with you for our wedding.  Even though we didn't meet with you until two days before the wedding, we had complete confidence in you.  You reassured us the whole way through planning, that things would be beautiful.  Everything was perfect.  The arrangements were breathtaking and the bouquets were exactly as I pictured, simple, elegant and spectacular.  I've attached a picture of the arrangement.  
Thank you again.  It really was a total pleasure to work with you.

Birgit –
Thank you again for the absolutely beautiful flowers! They were the prettiest I have ever seen. You did a wonderful job and we truly appreciate it. I will send some pictures. I just wanted you to have something so you could see how beautiful they were. Thanks again for making the day so special.

Hi Birgit!
D. and I would like to thank you very much for all of the beautiful flowers! They were all so gorgeous and turned out just perfect! I absolutely loved my bouquet and brought it home with me on the plane to Pennsylvania. The cake topper worked out perfectly also. We really appreciate all that you did to help make our day so special! Thanks for everything! Take Care!
M. and D.

Hi, Birgit,
I just wanted to send a note to say thank you so much for arranging the flowers for our wedding day at the Sand Bar. I managed to pack up my bouquet and the arrangements that were on the arch and brought them home on the plane with me – they are now displayed in our living room and still look fantastic.
Thanks once again and best wishes
S. and P.

Birgit –
As you can see from the picture, our flowers were absolutely beautiful – we couldnt have asked for more spectacular blooms! Everyone commented on them and how bright and healthy they were – they even came home to St. Louis with us! Thanks so much for doing a great job.
S. and M.

Dearest Birgit and Herbert,
There are not enough words to express how much it meant to J. and me for you to do all the wedding flowers. And then you stayed to take pictures and even moved the outside arrangements up to the reception room. I was so thrilled to see your smiling faces while J. and I were waiting to walk down the aisle. Your being there calmed me down so much. Everyone raved about the spectacular flowers.
Much love,
C. and J.

Dear Birgit,
Thank you so much for providing the beautiful flowers for our wedding. They were exactly what I envisioned and everyone commented on how breathtaking they were. Thank you for being so easy to work with and again for the beautiful flowers.
Love,
E. K.

Hello, Birgit and family!
G. and I wanted to extend our Thanks and appreciation for organizing the flowers for our wedding at the Sandbar.
The bouquet was simply gorgeous, as were the girls wrist bands, the button holes and the head dresses.
I can honestly say that the flowers themselves and the actual presentation / detail is far superior to the quality in the UK (I know because I have since had a wedding party in the UK and was just satisfied with the flowers).
So. Thank you again for helping to make our day so very special and contributing to the wonderful memories that we have of our wedding in Florida.
Wishing you continued success – we hope to visit again soon!
L. and G.

Birgit and Herbert –
Thank you for being so wonderful and helpful. Heres a little something to sweeten your day!
C. and W.

Dear Birgit,
Thank you so much for the perfect job you did creating my beautiful and simple bouquets! Our wedding was pure perfection and your activity was part of that.
Thank you also for your quick take on the extra flowers.
I hope you enjoy the photos. I wish we lived closer together so I could enjoy your lovely creations every week.
Fondly,
M. H.

Birgit –
Oh where do I begin to thank you for all your hard work! When friends ask how my wedding was … I reply perfect in every way. A huge part of that perfection is credit to you. It was such a pleasure working with someone so talented and dedicated. I loved, loved the flowers, their beauty touched my soul! Thank you!
C.

Herbert,

The flowers were so beautiful. Everyone commented on them and especially loved the purple ones which of course escaped me at that time! I then looked at your website and saw them. I wanted to thank you for doing a wonderful job and I hope I have another need to use you again. I will highly recommend you to my friends. We lucked out with the weather!!

Sincerely, B.K.

Good Morning Herbert,
The weather may not have been the greatest, but we still had an amazing time. All of my flowers were perfect, especially my bouquet and the flower arrangement in the conch shell. I have my bouquet here at school so I can enjoy it more. Thank you for everything and we will definitely be back on the island soon!!!

J. L. B.

Thank you so much for the kind words. The flowers were lovely and we received many compliments. The white and blue combination was stunning! I truly appreciate all your help, and I would be happy to share the pictures as soon as we receive them.
Best regards,
J. and A.

Dear Herbert:  Thank you so much for a job well done and the congratulations!  The wedding was absolutely perfect, and we are still enjoying our gorgeous flowers today.  The bouquets were awesome.  V. loved the arbor as well.  I will give you a picture when we receive them.  It was great also because after the wedding I was able to give T.'s mother and V.'s mother one of the arbor arrangements to take to their vacation houses to enjoy as well that evening.  I will certainly recommend you to all of my friends.  Sincerely, G. S.

Herbert - I wanted to take a little time and thank you for the flowers. They looked fabulous.. as soon as I get our pictures I'll be sure to send them your way. I took your recommendations on the photographer as well as the dinner for the evening. We ended up having dinner at the Beach Bistro. I can't even thank you enough, now I see why you live on Anna Maria. Everyone on the island completely went out of their way to make our evening a night to remember. Sorry I was unable to stop by I really want to thank you personally for such a wonderful bouquet. Thanks again.. they were wonderful
Best. T. H.

Hi Herbert!! I wasnt sure if you wanted a pic of the beautiful flowers you made for me or not, but I thought I would forward you one just in case you did. Thanks again!
