The Celebrated Flower

My wife and I used The Celebrated Flower for our wedding in early April and had the pleasure to work with Mark. He was great from start to finish! We had a very small order, just a couple of large arrangements, bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres so I wasn’t sure if any florist would deem us worth their time. I never felt this way with Mark, we told him an idea of what we wanted and he worked with us around every detail. After coming in a few hundred dollars over where I wanted to be he worked with us to get to a price point we were comfortable with. Everything was taken care of on the day of and the flowers were beautiful! Thank you Mark.

We just had the pleasure of working with Mark for our wedding this past Saturday, and he is the BEST! Not only is he personable and totally interesting to talk with, he is a fantastic florist with intuition and tons of talent! I’m still getting complements about our bouquets and centerpieces a week later!
We got married at St. Joseph’s Parish in Medford, and our reception was at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center. Mark knew both venues and had great suggestions about what works well in those spaces. I met with him twice starting a few months before our wedding and he somehow knew how to take my vague ideas and turn them into the most beautiful, elegant bouquets and arrangements I could have imagined. Mark made the whole process easy and fun, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of a florist! Thanks, Mark!

Mark was recommended to us by my boss and we are sooooo happy we chose him to help us with our wedding. We met a couple of times before the wedding and each session mark was very attentive, informative and understanding. Mark knows everything there is to know about flowers. He helped us pick the right flowers to bring our vision to life. The day of the wedding the flowers he brought were fresh, beautiful and exactly what we had discussed. The most beautiful arrangements were the two large vases used during the ceremony. We would highly recommend Mark to anyone getting married. Thank you Mark.

I cannot say enough good things about Mark. He is AMAZING. My husband Seth and I decided to have a small, non-​traditional wedding in Boston at a restaurant. I was nervous that the restaurant wouldn’t look enough like a «wedding» but Mark went above and beyond to make sure that everything looked elegant and classic for our big day. Mark was always easy to get in touch with, and there to answer any questions. If you are getting married in the Boston area, he is a must for flowers.

We used Celebrated Flower for flowers at our wedding at St James Armenian Church in Watertown and our wedding reception at CMAC in Cambridge, MA at the end of April 2014.
Mark at Celebrated Flower was just amazing. We met Mark a few times before our wedding and he always understood exactly what my wife wanted down to every detail and more. He showed us samples and gave us options so that we could choose what we would like. Mark is truly talented and gives you honest feedback on all of our decisions and he even kept us close to our budget. Working with Mark was great, very personable and more importantly stress free.
Mark did an amazing job and we loved all the flowers, but the center pieces were beyond amazing! Prices were also reasonable. On the wedding day, everything arrived on time and without a hitch. We totally recommend Mark and the Celebrated Flower for the best flowers around. We cannot say enough good things about his work.
Mark, thank you for being so kind and helpful!

I’m going to jump in here and add yet another 5 star review for this place. I relied on Mark and Lew for years for my work centerpieces. They were so reliable for delivery/​load-​in at any venue in the Boston area and always worked within our price range. They made it very easy to order over the phone and provided A+ service without fail, every time. They are the best!

Mark at celebrated flowers was just amazing. Met up with him only a couple of months before my wedding in September of 2013 and he knew just what I wanted and needed down to every detail.
Working with him was fun and most importantly stress free! I would totally recommend him for the best flowers around!

Mark did our wedding 8/​31, and he did an amazing job. We loved all the flowers, he was very personable and available, even to last minute additions/​changes. Prices were also reasonable. I would definitely recommend him!!!

I worked with Mark on my wedding and I can not say enough good things about his work — he is truly talented and gives you honest informative feedback on all of your decisions! Mark stayed within budget and even called me the day before to see if there were any other items that needed to be added — his set up was flawless and he helped the wedding party with all of their flowers. Thank you to The Celebrated Flower for your excellent work — I would recommend you for any event and use your services in the future!

Celebrated Flowers did a simply amazing job for my wedding centerpieces, bouquets, chair decorations, and boutonierres.
I have looked over the other reviews and agree with everyone’s main points: I met with Mark twice, he got a good idea of what my husband and I wanted and went above and beyond my expectations. I kept looking at my bouquet the whole time, it was so pretty! He came in under my reasonable budget and his flowers were better than the high end places by far.
So, a pleasure to work with, timely, excellent products.
I highly recommend.

Celebrated Flower (and always hands on Mark) did an incredible job at our wedding. I would recommend them to anyone getting married in the Boston area and will use Mark anytime I need a floral display for the rest of my life.
All we said to Mark was that we liked the color yellow and wanted fun flowers. Mark’s creations were absolutely perfect. After a one hour meeting fliping through photos of Mark’s creations and pointing out what we liked Celebrated Flower absolutely nailed our taste. Guests still talk about the beautiful and creative flowers.
Mark was amazingly accomodating — adjusting to our out of town schedule, doing a preliminary meeting over the phone and not complaining once about set up and delivery logistics. Our wedding was at the Boston Public Library and delivery had to be late on Saturday after the library closed and installation quick before the ceremony started an hour later. Mark had everything set up perfectly in no time.
We met with Mark after being underwhelmed by several «high-​end florists» in Boston. Mark was much more reasonable by all metrics — timing, transparency, price and attitude. Most important, his flowers looked better and his designs were more creative. We could not have asked for a better relationship. Unlike many other florists, Mark didn’t hear wedding and then triple his prices. He was extremely cognizant of our budget, forthright about costs, and proactive in offering solutions that would achieve our look at less cost.
Mark and Celebrated Flower are exceptional. We could not have dreamt of more.

Well, I am the mother of the bride, and I would give Mark SIX stars if we could! He is a gentleman, and fabulous to work with. He is reliable, dependable, honest, hard working and a true professional. We used my great grandmother’s handmade bedspread for a chuppah cover, and Mark did an outstanding job. Mark never pushed us to over spend, and he made beautiful arrangements. It was a real pleasure to deal with Celebrated Florist and Mark!

I recently got married and our flower centerpieces, bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and chupah were all done by Celebrated Flower — Mark (owner) was absolutely fantastic in helping us create a style that ended up looking absolutely stunning. Every arrangement was flawless and the centerpieces in particular added a colorful and vibrant feeling to the whole room and every table.
The pricing was fair and we never felt pushed to overspend — he worked with our budget, showed us samples and gave us options so that we could choose what we would like.
Mark, thank you for being so kind and helpful with our wedding plans — you are a true professional!

I’ll begin by saying that this is the first review I have ever posted. Of anything.
But The Celebrated Flower provided the flowers for my wedding just this past weekend, and we were just so overwhelmed by the beauty of the flowers and the quality of the service that I feel compelled to write this well-​deserved excellent review.
We met with Mark this past fall to discuss our flowers. In terms of planning a wedding, neither of us knew what we were doing, but Mark helped us articulate what sort of flowers we wanted (simple, lovely, fresh-​picked). Over the months leading up to our wedding I kept in touch with Mark over phone and email — he was always quick to respond and gracious, and ready to adapt to our last minute additions (we decided to have a flower girl!).
But I could not have anticipated how absolutely gorgeous our flowers would actually be. My bouquet (white peonies with just a hint of pink) was just perfect. He found the perfect little basket with petals for our tiny flower girl. The flowers arrived before we got to the ceremony spot, each with a note explaining who they belonged to. There was even a pile of paper towels with a note reminding me and my bridesmaids to dry our bouquets before carrying them. The arrangements at the reception were just as lovely.
I cannot recommend The Celebrated Flower and Mark highly enough. They will make your wedding beautiful.

I stumbled across the Celebrated Flower on Unilocal.To be honest, it may be the only way most to-​be-​weds find this gem that’s tucked away in a warehouse-​like building off a tiny side street. Mark the florist/​owner is extremely professional, knowledgeable, reliable, reasonable, accomadating, and innovative. I couldn’t have asked for more for our non-​traditional NYE restaurant wedding. Gorgeous flowers that impressed — thank you Mark!

I’m not exactly sure how we came across The Celebrated Flower, but they did a great job for our wedding in October 2010. Our major goal when it came to flowers was to find some seasonal flowers which weren’t flown in from 5,000+ miles away. Mark, the owner, was completely understanding of this (somewhat odd?) request and helped us create some beautiful assemblages.
We were initially also concerned that he would blow us off because we were just looking for a small bouquet and a few corsages (we did our own centerpieces and arrangements). Quite the opposite, Mark spent plenty of time with us and made us feel like special customers.
On the wedding day, everything arrived perfectly on time and without a hitch. Highly recommended!

Mark made the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages for my September 2010 wedding. I was so impressed and pleased with his work that this review won’t even do him justice.
We made our own centerpieces and were originally going to do our own bouquets after some of the ridiculous quotes we received. However, a lot of people began suggesting we get the bouquets professionally done, so we decided to meet with Mark.
My husband and I met with him twice. The first time for about 20 minutes. We had no idea what we wanted so we kept going back and forth with the style we wanted — jumping from a bouquet of only roses to a wildflower bouquet with 10 different flowers. We weren’t helpful at all! However, Mark was extremely patient with us. When it came time to talk budget, he was extremely flexible. He worked with our budget and made suggestions on how we could stay within budget. This was really what won us over especially after several meetings with people who wouldn’t budge (and in this economy!). The second time we met for about 10 minutes. We brought him samples of our colors and a piece of my dress to wrap around my bouquet and more pictures of bouquets I liked which probably conflicted with what we had decided on the last time. By the time we left, we basically just told him to do what he wanted — leaving it all up to him.
With my extreme indecisiveness and lack of input, Mark was able to create the most beautiful, most perfect bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages I could ever imagine.
Thank you, Mark!

Mark did the flowers for our May 2010 wedding and they were beyond gorgeous. But more than that, he was so easy to work with. My husband and I met with him just once for about a half hour, we looked through the books of his work, told him what we liked and what we didn’t, and pouf, he had designed perfect bouquets and chuppah decorations and corsages, etc. He doesn’t need a ton of direction — just give him a sense of your taste and he follows through with real professionalism and an eye for beauty. We also decided last-​minute that we wanted him to construct our chuppah as well, and he was zero fuss about it – just made it happen like it was nothing. He constructed it out of these gorgeous birch poles. Mark was also very very competitively priced. I solicited bids from about 15 florists and he was the one who gave me what I wanted for the budget I had.

We had our wedding at Memorial Church and party at the Harvard Faculty Club. I usually do not leave reviews, but the work done by Celebrated Flowers deserves it. As grad students we were on a smaller budget, but we also appreciate good fine work. Celebrated Flowers did a great job on both fronts. Our flowers were definitely the part that I liked the most about our wedding. They were perfect, much better than what I could have planned or expected. Louis was extremely kind, he gives you freedom to chose what you like (no rigid wedding packages here). His work is very high quality and I felt the attention we received was excellent (they have bigger clients, but they spoiled us the same). They delivered everything where we needed. He even took the orchids for my hair to the hair salon. All of our guests were praising their work.

I agree wholeheartedly with Melanie! I am a professional event planner. Our firm uses quite a few florists, but The Celebrated Flower is the most flexible, friendly, and reasonably priced florist in the greater Boston area (at least that I have encountered so far). Mark and Lou are great about taking your vision and transforming them into a floral masterpiece. Sometimes I know what I want the arrangements to look like, but don’t know how to articulate it very well in words. Mark and Lou are usually able to run with it and their work is always complimented by my co-​workers and clients alike. They’re also a small operation, but are always on time and pleasantly accommodating! They also know many venues quite well which helps a lot when designing a floral scheme.

Marc and Lou of Celebrated Flower in Somerville are truly artists when it comes to flowers! I have hired them for several large events, including my wedding, and at every event they more than exceeded my expectations by coming up with incredibly gorgeous and imaginative arrangements that didn’t break my budget.
