	‘Thank you so much Rita for doing such a superb job with all the flowers for our wedding - everything was beyond perfect. From the moment we sat down to talk about the flowers for our special day, I had the utmost confidence that you really understood what we were after - and boy did you deliver! My peony and garden rose bouquet was just stunning, and the wrist pieces for the girls were so kitchy-cute, fitting exactly with our 50s theme. When I walked into the dining room in the restaurant my heart melted because it all looked so beautiful - even better than what I had imagined. I will be recommending you to everyone.’ – Trish, Fitzroy.
	'My wedding flower requirements were simply a bouquet for myself and a buttonhole for my husband, along with some foliage based decorations for the tables. I sent Rita a photo of my bridal outfit (1920s style pants and top) and a description of the venue and left it in her hands. In her design, Rita took my taste, the outfit's look and the theme of the wedding into account and created a unique arrangement of green hues and using tropical flowers and foliage, based on a bouquet design of the early 1900s. The stylish and elegant arrangement perfectly complemented the overall design of the wedding and far exceeded anything I could have imagined. I received compliments from many guests throughout the evening. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rita's skills as a florist for those wanting something stylish and different.’- Natasha, Clifton Hill Victoria
	'I asked Rita to do my wedding flowers and the result was absolutely stunning. My wedding followed a 'green' theme - my dress was green, as were my bridesmaids. Likewise, I wanted the flowers to follow the same theme with lots of lush tropical leaves and interesting shapes and textures. After consulting with Rita I was totally confident that the result would be perfect. It was. I had never seen anything like my bouquet in any bridal magazine and I absolutely loved it, not to mention the table decorations (bowls of limes, green orchids, succulents and vases of foliage) and the massive arrangement she did beside the dancefloor.' - Jane, Prahran.
	‘I have utilised Rita's extensive floristry skills on many occasions for photography shoots and family events and I think she has the best credentials and innate sense of style in the business. My 'wedding in a cow paddock' dazzled with a lush backdrop of perfectly themed arrangements in milk pails and my simple rose bouquet couldn't have be better. Basically I gave her a budget and left it in her hands. The girl knows flowers and what to do with them. I couldn't recommend a more tasteful or experienced florist in Melbourne.’ - Rachelle, East St Kilda.
	Dearest Rita and the team at Blooming Brides, Lucas and I would like to thank you so much for the beautiful flowers for our wedding. I know you must hear this all the time but they were PERFECT. We (especially me) loved everything from the gorgeous posies to the wishing tree – every detail, every petal was everything I have ever dreamed of. GORGEOUS, ROMANTIC, PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT – and I am one fussy bride. Thank you for being part of our special day – Sharon and Lucas
	Rita thank you so much for the beautiful flowers on our special day! A lot of our family members and friends were very impressed with the bouquet, like they said: “It is so Karin!”. In the beginning we were a bit concerned about the flowers, since we're from Sweden and were going all the way to Australia to get married. But through e-mail contact and through your way of handling it all; taking that little extra time and providing photos, everything was so much easier for us being on the other side of the world. That final e-mail was like a stone being lifted of my shoulders; we got confirmation that you understood what we were looking for and the bouquet turned out exactly as I had hoped for. Actually….even better than I hoped for! You're brilliant! – Karin and Johan, Stockholm/Sweden
	‘Being a non-traditional bride in blue, and groom in burnt orange, we wanted a bouquet that reflected ‘us’ on our special day. Rita quickly assessed our colour scheme and suggested a particular orange rose as the basis for a simple but stunning bouquet which took my breath away when I first saw it on our wedding day. I trusted her to get it right, and it was more than right – just perfect - as was the matching hair piece. I got loads of favourable comments on my wedding bouquet. Rita’s been around flowers all her life, and my instincts were correct to trust her unique choice for us.’– Dianne, Port Melbourne.
