    The flowers dreams are made of🫶🏻

    We were fortunate enough to have Flowers by Gloriosa as our florist for our October 7th wedding. Working with Mary Jo was one of the highlights of wedding planning. She has top notch professionalism and her flowers are truly a work of art. She really took the time to get to know my likes and dislikes and truly made my vision come to life. We had a last minute change to our reception venue, which could have been very stressful but Mary Jo was there every step of the way to talk me through the changes, offer ideas and lots of encouragement. If you’re looking for a florist, look no further, working with Mary Jo and her team will be the easiest and best decision you’ll make!

    A dream to work with

    Gloriosa helped my floral dreams come true for my big day! I knew I wanted hot pink flowers, and they shipped peonies from Alaska in. They were stunning! The team was a pleasure to work with

    Stunning Flowers! Highly recommend

    Mary Jo was amazing to work with! From our first phone call I was impressed with her professionalism, willingness to work with my needs & wants, and was full of great ideas. She took my basic vision and offered so many great ideas, was able to achieve some of the harder parts of my vision, and provided the most stunning flowers for my wedding. She was able to achieve a lot on my limited budget and I appreciate her skill. They were breathtaking and one of my favorite elements of our wedding! I can't get over how beautiful they turned out and I'm so glad I went with Gloriosa!

    Gloriosa's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Taryn! It was such a pleasure to work with you and I truly enjoyed creating your beautiful blooms. I wish you all the best in the future!

    Highly Recommend Mary Jo!!

    I found Mary Jo through a Google search several months before our wedding. She had great reviews, and was very easy to get in touch with. The first time we met we sat down for over an hour discussing my wedding day vision. I showed her photos that I loved, some from her Instagram page, and she made my dreams come true. Our flowers were one of my favorite parts of the entire day, and we had so many compliments on how beautiful they were.

    Incredibly beautiful florals on a day we'll never forget

    Mary Jo created the most beautiful bouquets and arrangements for our wedding day. She perfectly captured the colors, the types of flowers, and the overall look we were going for. The floral structure she did in front of the tree were married under was stunning and beyond anything I could have hoped for.
    Mary Jo is incredibly knowledgeable on all different types of blooms and color theory. She really listened to all of our ideas and made lots of suggestions as well. As a postponed pandemic wedding, we were grateful to work with someone as kind, flexible, and patient as Mary Jo. She really made our wedding day beautiful and we cannot thank her enough.

    Gloriosa's reply:

    Amberly, Your review is so wonderful. Thank you for being one of my best brides to work with! We planned all of it during Zoom calls! Thank you for being so kind and appreciative of my work. I have always said it takes a team to put together a beautiful wedding. From start to finish you were a dream to be on that team! It was an honor to be a part of your wedding day! Thank you so much! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

    Wonderful wedding florist

    Mary Jo with Gloriosa was wonderful to work with. I had a vague idea of what I wanted and Mary Jo worked with me and brought it to reality. All of the flowers turned out beautifully. She also did a great job setting up the flowers at the venue the day of the wedding.
    My cascading bouquet turned out exactly how I wanted it and was even more beautiful then I ever imagined.
    Mary Jo was super easy to work with and answered all of my questions and helped to adapt to our needs throughout the entire process.

    Ashley Ries (bride)

    Mary Jo was amazing! She was literally a second mom to me during this entire process. I would message her any time I had a thought and she was quick to respond and help me make decisions! She knew exactly how to put each detail together and turned my wedding into a dream! She not only helped me with my florals ( which I have no knowledge of) she also helped me piece together my tables and many other decor items! I can’t recommend her enough. Love her.

    Gloriosa's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! I enjoyed every minute of planning your wedding with you. You did an amazing job keeping it all together. It was all so lovely on the lake front property and you were stunningly beautiful! Love you too! Thank you

    Fantastic!

    Mary Jo was so great! I inquired about her doing flowers for me pretty close to my wedding day and she quickly eased all my fears! I really had no idea what I wanted and she came up with a plan for mine and my bridesmaids flowers so quickly! She also did a beautiful arrangement for the arch for the ceremony and flowers for the ends of the aisles. I would definitely recommend her!!

    Gloriosa's reply:

    Thank you Caitlin for your kind words. It was a pleasure to create the flowers for your wedding and you were such a wonderful bride.
    I 'm so glad that you were happy with everything. All my best, Mary Jo

    Mary Jo and Gloriosa were a dream to work with for our dancing set at Mountain Lake Lodge. She created a lovely mix of sunflowers and rustic blue and white flowers to set the perfect tone for our ceremony set at the Gazebo and reception set at the Barn.

    Breathtaking and beautiful

    Very creative and talented work. The flowers were our main part of decor for wedding. Mary Jo took time to talk with us about our theme and colors we had for our wedding. On the day of our wedding Mary Jo came to present my bouquet and flower girl crown and I was speechless for how amazing they all looked and excited to see the outcome of her visions.

    Gloriosa's reply:

    Thank you so much Jemma! You were so beautiful and so happy on your wedding day. Your reaction made my day! It was a pleasure to create the flowers for your wedding. Thank you !

    Second to None

    Look no further than Gloriosa!
    Mary Jo was both extremely knowledgeable about flowers and what would look good where, she was amazing to work with. Made us feel right at home the instant we met her!
    Our flowers were amazing and we recieved so many compliments from our guests.
    She also was able to provide us with many other rentable items that saved us purchasing and therefore money in the long run. When our venue didn't have the appropriate table linens for their tables, she special ordered for us.
    She and her team are simply the place to go to make your floral and decorative dreams come true on your special day!

    Thank you for your kind words Devon! It was such a pleasure to create the vision that you and Brian wanted for your wedding day! Thank you for being so wonderful! Mary Jo

    Amazing to work with!

    Mary Jo of Gloriosa was truly amazing to work with for my wedding, she was able to take my vision and turn it into more than I could have imagined! She knew the name of every flower off the top of her head, gave me more ideas, and is so creative when it comes to flowers. She really was able to make my bouquet and floral arraignment’s into works of art! I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants something fun, different, and a statement for their event!

She is very passionate about her work and aims to please! She insisted that I approve of my bouquet when she arrived on the day of, with the bouquet, she wanted to make sure I thought it was perfect and indeed it was! The flowers perfectly matched everything and we were so happy to work with her. We would highly recommend to anyone who wanted a superb floral experience for any occasion.
