Amaranth Florist

Loretta at Amaranth is wonderful. She worked on our wedding on Nov. 12th at the Radnor Hunt. She is extremely good at her job and she does not overcharge. She put together amazing bouqets, centerpieces, and other venue floral arrangements. I had to change the number of tables we needed a few times and had some other last minute additions and it was never a problem. If you are looking for a high-quality, affordable florist, Amaranth is the way to go!

I used Amaranth for the flowers for my wedding. They did an excellent job. My bouquet was absolutely beautiful and was just how I imagined it. My bridesmaids wore chocolate truffle dresses so I had them carry orange flowers and I think it look amazing in pictures. Loretta was able to do anything I asked her, for example she made wrist corsages for our godmothers. Our centerpieces at our reception were so pretty. They really made the room look even more beautiful. They did all this and the cost was great too! I would highly recommend them for any occasion!

Loretta did a great job on my flowers. She exceeded all of my expectations and really made my vision come true. Everything was beautiful! She was great to work with and made the process very easy.

I met with other florists, but no one understood my vision like Loretta. I explained to her the over all theme and feel of my wedding and she was able to capture it in the flowers. I have to mention that she was significantly cheaper than other florists. I felt that she valued my business and she was excited to have me as a client. I wish I could upload my pictures so that you could see the quality of her work. My flowers were beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned. I would definitely recommend her work, it was simply amazing.

The best florist in the Philadelphia/main line area. So professional and punctual. Listens to what I needed and made my wedding bouquet and center pieces absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

We have only great things to say about Loretta and Amaranth Florist. We did not want to spend tons of money on flowers but of course still wanted them to look nice. Loretta worked within our budget and created some really beautiful arrangements and bouquets for us! We received so many compliments on the flowers - the vibrant color and the elegant look. She was very flexible as there were additions I think up until the day before the wedding. Frankly we used Amaranth Florist prior to our wedding for flowers and were always so pleased so we knew she would do a great job. We were right! We highly recommend them!

Loretta and her team of professionals were amazing! She was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. She listened to me brainstorm about ideas and was able to interpret just what I wanted. We were beyond pleased. Clare O

Loretta at Amaranth was absolutely amazing! She was able to work with the styles and flower types that I liked to create beautiful arrangements that fit within my budget. It was easy to ask her any questions I had, and if there was anything I needed to change, she was willing to help me without any problems. Literally, when the limo pulled up the the ceremony site, my mouth dropped open and I couldn't stop saying "wow" because she made it look more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. She was easy to work with, friendly, reliable, flexible, straight forward, creative, and she made my life as a bride so much easier. I would definitely recommend the services of Amaranth Florist for brides, or any occasion, because you will have no headache and you will surely be pleased with the outcome.

The flowers were so incredibly beautiful. I don't think I even realized it at the time, but looking over my pictures, the flowers really stand out. I was also impressed because I was planning my Philadelphia wedding long distance, and know nothing about flowers so I just sent them pictures of bouquets I liked and gave them free reign to come up with something they thought I'd like. They did an amazing job.

Flowers were BEAUTIFUL and affordable! Flowers can be so expensive, sometimes you wonder if it's worth it to have them on your wedding day but with this florist you get high quality at an affordable price. She was easy to work with, patient and really listened to want i wanted. I would recomend this florist for any occasion.

The flowers were beautiful. Amaranth provided exactly what we had asked for. They were very easy to work with! We got many compliments on the beautiful flowers and bouquets...We were extremely pleased!

I heard about Amaranth from a good friend who had worked with the shop at her wedding, and immediately scheduled a meeting when I began planning my own. Beyond a vague idea of floral colors, I admittedly had very little concept of what I was looking for to complement my day, decor, and dresses, and very little knowledge of flowers in general! Every interaction with Amaranth's owner, Loretta Barnes, was extremely pleasant. She is extremely patient and flexible, with a very comforting demeanor. She asked just the right questions to identify what I was looking for in bouquets, ceremony decor, and reception table arrangements. The process of selecting and securing Amaranth's services was one of the easiest I went through during the planning of my wedding, and the results were some of the most impeccable. I attribute this to Loretta's professionalism and skill, and can't imagine a time in the future I don't enjoy looking at pictures of her handiwork for my special day.

Going into my initial wedding consultation, I had an idea of what I wanted in my head, but only some pictures to show for it. Loretta was really able to take my colors and ideas and bring them to life. Everything about the flowers was fantastic-- the color, the varying textures (especially the protea!) etc. I still get comments from my family about them! I was so happy with Amaranth, Loretta and her employees really do such a wonderful job!

Amaranth was highly recommended by several friends before choosing them to do the flowers for my July wedding, and I quickly saw why! Loretta did an amazing job with everything, and no detail was overlooked. She was extremely flexible and helped me realize my "vision," as I did not have one when I first met with her. We met several times, she answered all of my questions thoroughly and honestly, and she even did several "mock" centerpieces until we got it right. Better yet, she kept the cost below my budget while still exceeding my expectations. We had so many compliments on the various arrangements throughout the venue. If you are searching for a professional, unique, affordable, creative florist, Amaranth is the way to go. I will be using Amaranth for years to come.

Amaranth florist was the first we contacted, and the one we eventually went back to after meeting with several different florists. We were a bit concerned at first because Loretta took awhile to respond to some questions via email, but we decided in the end that value was more important to us. Loretta gave us about twice what other florists would for our money. She showed us mock-ups of our centerpieces for free, talked about them with us and changed a few things for no extra charge, and was very flexible with what we wanted. The day of the wedding, we were so impressed with the lovely bouquets but especially the centerpieces-- we didn't want floral centerpieces because it was a winter wedding, so we went with lots of candles and vases, and so many people said that they were the most beautiful ones they'd ever seen! It really looked lovely and we were so happy with how everything turned out. Loretta also gave us advice on where we could find inexpensive table linens and in general really worked with us to stay within our budget. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend Amaranth!

Loretta was great. I changed my flowers a few times, she was very patient and worked with me all the way. It was really easy working with her. I loved my flowers!!!!!!!! They were amazing, better than what I wanted. And the prices were great too!!!

Loretta at Amaranth florist is so talented! She worked with me throughout the entire process to brainstorm and change our minds about the flower design many times without acting like it was a bother. She definitely will do whatever she can to make your vision come to life. By getting to know Loretta throughout the process, I was confident that whatever she made for me on the wedding day would be beautiful (and it was). Her prices were literally half of what I was getting quoted at other florists. She allowed me to have my "dream" flowers without breaking the bank. She was great at working within my budget and handling all the details regarding delivery, set up, etc. Out of my vendors I think that Loretta was my most valuable find, if you are marrying in the Philly area I recommend using Amaranth!

This florist provided flowers for my wedding. They were absolutely beautiful! I couldn't have gotten better for the price.

Loretta was very easy to work with. I know nothing about flowers, and gave Loretta a very vague idea of what I wanted, and she showed me some beautiful arrangements. The flowers at the wedding were really stunning. The only issue I had with Amaranth was that they do not readily respond to emails, which made it difficult for me to be in contact with them. The finished product was great, and we were very happy with it.

Loretta at Amaranth is very sweet but I was disappointed with the way my wedding centerpieces turned out. Our centerpieces were not like the pictures I had shown Loretta. Also, the pin on corsages showed up as wrist corsages and both moms were not very happy about that as this was not what we ordered.If I had to do it all over again I would have ordered the flowers online and had my DOC arrange the flowers as this would have saved a TON of money.On a positive note our bouquets were just what I asked for although they started to fall apart towards the end of the night.
