    An Amazing Florist!

    Mary-Ruth Chapin is an amazing florist whose experience truly made her the perfect fit for our wedding. Mary-Ruth was always personable and friendly from our first conversation; she took an interest in getting to know my preferences and sought to create floral arrangements that would enhance my dress and color scheme. I don’t know much about flowers, so Mary-Ruth took the time to show me my options and find out what kinds I’d like, and I’m thrilled with what she put together. My bridal bouquet was stunning, as were the table arrangements, bridesmaids’ bouquets, boutonnières—all of it! She worked with our budget to ensure our florals met our preferences without going overboard, and everyone was so pleased with the results. Don’t hesitate to hire Mary-Ruth—she’s a talented and experienced florist who will make your wedding special!

    Best Decision Ever!

    It was the reviews on Wedding Wire that led me to Mary-Ruth and everything I read about Mary-Ruth was spot on. In addition to being a lovely person, she has a special talent to capture what you want, even if you don't know what you want! Mary-Ruth was able to please both my daughter, the bride, and me which is miraculous AND we were able to stay within budget. She is a gem and so easy to communicate with. That's why I believe choosing Mary-Ruth was our best decision ever!

    Beautiful flowers for my wedding

    We found Mary-Ruth on Wedding Wire and once we connected we knew she was our gal! She took the time to get to know us and was so easy to work with. She delivered the flowers to us on site and they were really beautiful. I was nervous because it's the one thing you can't trial before the wedding, but Mary-Ruth really knocked it out of the park. She made our dreams a reality!

    Professional and Flexible Florist

    Mary-Ruth went beyond the "call-of-duty". Mary-Ruth is kind, patient and understanding. Mary-Ruth listened and created a perfect bouquet for my daughter's wedding. The bridesmaid arrangements could not have been better. Mary-Ruth explained which flowers would work best for our look. Mary-Ruth responded promptly (I can't say the same for myself or other vendors that I used). Mary-Ruth pays attention to details and alleviated stress by coordinating flowers for the cake. Mary-Ruth contacted the vendor and I luckily did not have to get involved. Mary-Ruth respected my budget and stuck with it! I can't wait to share photos with her. This vendor deserved more than 5 gold stars.

    Beautiful Wedding

    Mary Ruth offers many suggestions on how to make your wedding special. We had a few of last minute additions to our list and she made it happen beyond our expectations. She's very personable and wants to get to know you and your ideas and offers many suggestions. I felt her prices were very fair and had no need to shop elsewhere. My daughter said everything was "Perfect" and "better than expected"! That's all I ever wanted to hear

    Executed Perfectly

    Mary did an amazing job providing florals for our wedding. She is such a kind and honest person. I really enjoyed having her apart of our wedding team and most importantly, she delivered everything that was promised.

    Mary-Ruth did an incredible job for our wedding and exceeded all of our expectations. When we initially met, she already felt like family. She was extremely maternal and such a sweetheart, and I knew immediately that I wanted to work with her. Not to mention, she is extremely knowledgeable and talented when it comes to flowers and decor. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the entire planning process and she was able to accommodate all of my requests with no questions asked. I was definitely not a bridezilla, I was actually the opposite and knew nothing about what I wanted, but I feel like she read my mind because when the wedding day came, I could not have dreamt of a more beautiful collection of flowers. Everyone was asking if they could take the centerpieces home because they were gorgeous, the arch she put together for us was Pinterest-worthy, and bouquets and boutonnieres were everything I could have ever wanted. Somehow, I got amazing service and products with her all at such an affordable price as well - she is extremely competitive pricing-wise in the area. I could talk about how amazing she is in many more words, but I think I'll stop with this - on the days approaching my wedding she sent me messages of comfort and on the day of, she really did feel like another Mother looking out for me. I give her my highest recommendation!

    Mary-Ruth is amazing! We hired her to do our flowers as well as be our Day of Coordinator and she was worth every penny! She created stunning floral arrangements that all the guests were raving over. She also helped keep us calm and organized throughout the day without my mother or bridesmaids having to worry. She is kind and experienced and helped the day go so smoothly. Couldn't be more thrilled with her work!

    I can’t say enough about Mary-Ruth. I had found Mary-Ruth at the Bridal Expo at the convention center. She was very welcoming and super heartwarming. When I planned to meet with her she had everything ready to go and gave me so many ideas! When she brought my flowers to our venue I almost burst into tears and how beautiful they were. Everything exceeded exactly as I had imagined! Thank you again Mary-Ruth!

    I cannot say enough about how wonderful Mrs. Mary-Ruth is! She made every dream and more I had for my wedding flowers and decor come true!!
    She sat down with my mom and I - we didn't have much time left before the wedding - but she took her time going through everything I wanted to make it all come to life ... from flowers, bouquets, centerpieces, the ceremony backdrop, lots of reception decor with florals and lighting, a beautiful cake display - she did it all and when I say she made magic happen - boy did she! She made our day extra special and the whole event came together so beautifully and perfectly with her expertise! She even added on a gorgeous aisle for of petals, a last minute request, that took my breath away!
    I was so happy and pleased with how every little detail turned out. And i know it is solely because of the time and effort Mrs. Mary-Ruth put into her work. You can tell she genuinely has a passion for what she does and truly cares to make your vision of your day come to life just the way you want it!
    Working with her was a pleasure. She had so many great suggestions as I was explaining my idea of the flowers and decor - and she knew the perfect flower to go, the perfect placement of decor elements I wanted - when I saw everything that day - I was in awe!
    I could not have been happier to have Mrs. Mary-Ruth do my flowers and decor - it turned out better than I could have ever imagined :)

    There is no question in my mind, or anyone at our wedding, that the flowers Mary-Ruth made for us were a highlight of the day. I couldn't believe how stunning and perfect each piece was, and how it perfectly embodied exactly what I had imagined. Our wild flower bouquets and crowns were seriously out of a dream!! The centerpieces were a perfect fall edition to our October wedding. I still can't stop gushing over the colors. I couldn't recommend her more.

    Not only were her flowers stunning, but her flexible and professional nature made things so easy. She was always willing to chat and had no trouble with my second guesses I wanted to change. She delivered and set everything up the day of, I seriously think my jaw dropped when I turned down the aisle with my dad and I saw what she had put together on our arbor. She worked around our desires and ideas and she was worth EVERY penny! Which by the way was an incredible price! My day would not have been as perfect without her, seriously. Thank you Mary-Ruth for everything!!

    Mary Ruth went above and beyond for our wedding. She not only ordered the flowers and arranged all the bouquets, but she also did our table seating and table decor just to make sure the day would go easier. We couldn't appreciate it enough. The flowers were gorgeous, and stayed beautiful for a full week after our wedding. She also made it easier to pick the flowers we were going to use, just by throwing in ideas to help achieve the look I wanted. We really couldn't be more pleased with how she lined everything up with and for us.

    Mary-Ruth Chapin was absolutely the most wonderful florist I could have imagined! It is clear she loves what she does and knows exactly what she’s doing. When I began looking at florists, I thought I might need to “do it myself,” but Mary-Ruth worked within my more modest budget to create beautiful table arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres, a flower crown for the flower girl, and other gorgeous floral accents. Mary-Ruth was very prompt with communication and spent time going through everything in detail with me during our in-person meeting. She took care of setting up of everything, arriving early to deliver the flowers and staying late into the evening to ensure everything was perfect.
    Mary-Ruth went above and beyond in so many ways, (that I don’t want to describe in detail lest she have to do it for everyone else!), but suffice to say, if you work with Mary-Ruth, you’ll be working with someone who takes pride in what she does, won’t try to upsell you on unnecessary extras (unless you want them!), and will allow you to rest easy that your florals will be absolutely gorgeous on your big day.

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Mary Ruth. From her kindness and genuine love for what she does to her beautiful flower arrangements, she was a dream to work with. She helped guide me when I needed it, and turned my ideas into our dream wedding. She truly helped make our wedding day amazing. If you are looking for someone who truly cares about you and your wedding day, get in touch with Mary Ruth!

    Where do I begin?! I was a very detailed-oriented, creative bride. I had so many ideas and needed help bringing them to life. That is just what Mary-Ruth did for me! She took all of my ideas for my Secret Garden inspired wedding and brought them to life for me. I do not know what I would have done without her. She created my beautiful bouquets (myself + bridesmaids + mothers of the bride and groom + flower girl + grandmother), boutonnieres, ceremony aisle, escort card moss key display, garland, bird cage and birch vase centerpieces, and my cake table!! Everything came together perfectly on my day and there was nothing for me to worry about. Also, I wanted hanging amaranthus for my bridal bouquet, but unfortunately her vendor could not supplythem because of the heat temperatures; nevertheless, Mary-Ruth, on the day of my wedding, SURPISED me with the hanging amaranthus on my bouquet!! I do not know how she found them, but she did and completely made my day! She is one of the sweetest women I have ever met, truly passionate about her floral designs, and such a pleasure to be around. Thank you so much for making all of my ideas come true Mary-Ruth! I hope to have cause to request you once again in the future!

    Mary-Ruth truly produced the most beautiful flowers for our wedding.
    I had an idea for the 'look' i wanted - mixed pastel colors reminiscent of an English garden and she made it happen whilst sticking to a modest budget. I received so many compliments on the day for the flowers - I would not hesitate to recommend Mary-Ruth!

    Mary-Ruth has a fantastic eye for flower arrangement and is a great listener. She will spend a lot of time going over ideas to make sure she really captures what you want. I knew that I wanted summer colors and flowers with a variety of texture. Mary-Ruth took my vague descriptions and created the most beautiful arrangements, bouquets, and huppah design, giving my outdoor/garden wedding a truly magical feel. Her prices are very reasonable and she is sweet and calm -- a reassuring presence on your wedding day.

    I could not recommend Mary-Ruth more!!! Not only is she an amazing florist, she was so unbelievably wonderful to work with! I am a very detailed oriented person and Mary-Ruth did not miss a beat. At each meeting, I could tell how much she enjoys what she does, which translated into wonderful floral advice and an amazing final product the day of the wedding. I got to our venue and she was already there (on schedule the entirety of our wedding) and she completely wow'd me with our flowers. I also was so impressed with her devotion; she stayed our whole wedding and was even willing to help out when I didn't have anyone else to open the doors for our "grand exit" down the main stairs of our venue. There wasn't a moment in the entire process that she was a vendor I worried about and I would recommend her to any of my friends and family. Also, having visited other florists, her pricing was extremely reasonable and the way she conducted business was very professional throughout the entire process. I wish there were another event I needed flowers for and if there ever is, I will be contacting Mary-Ruth again <3

    Our daughter got married in Baltimore this past July and Mary Ruth Chapin provided the flowers/candles for both the ceremony and the reception. Mary Ruth is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Her enthusiasm for what she does is unparalleled. Mary Ruth met with us at least 4 times before the wedding to discuss making our daughter's vision into a reality. She is a true artist, and put together an unbelievable package for us, respecting our budget, but delivering beautiful results. Thank you Mary Ruth!
