  • We wanted someone who could create a timeless, romantic, and elegant look with flowers. It was important to us that they were creative, organized, and easy to work with, so everything from the bouquets to the ceremony flowers would feel natural and beautiful.

    From our very first phone call with Bruce Wayne Florals, they were so friendly, organized, and really took the time to understand us and our vision. We gave them a few ‘must-have’ flowers and let them do their thing, and honestly, they blew us away. At our mock-up trial, the florals were even more beautiful than we imagined! From the bouquets to our ceremony arch, everything was perfect and fit the elegant, romantic vibe we were going for.

  • Rather than choosing specific flower types, we focused on our color palette—baby blue, pinks, and peach—and let the florists guide the rest. That flexibility ensured nothing was compromised due to seasonality or availability.

    Even before our planner recommended Bruce Wayne Florals, we had already been admiring their work on Marry Me Tampa Bay and noted how frequently they collaborated with Parties A’ La Carte. No other local florist stood out quite the way Bruce Wayne did. What impressed us most was how no two weddings looked the same, yet every design was consistently breathtaking. Their proposal and design board were incredibly thorough and professional, and the in-person mock-up felt like stepping into our wedding reception. Their team executed our vision flawlessly and thoughtfully repurposed our ceremony florals for the reception, adding both beauty and value.

  • Bruce Wayne Florals came highly recommended by our planner. The best creative results come from having the freedom to create, so we really let the florist run with the vision!” the bride exclaimed. “I didn’t want to restrict the florist, or any of our vendors, to some strict idea I had in my head.

    – Annie and Thomas |
  • The most important element of the wedding was flowers; I wanted as many as possible! I loved Bruce Wayne Floral’s proposal, and they listened to me. They were so sweet! I loved the mock table day; it was so fun to see it all come to life. I wanted different candle holders, and they went and bought new ones and added more peonies since that is my favorite and brought my vision all to life!

    – Becca and Rob |
  • We wanted someone who was local and had valuable experience in wedding florals. We chose Bruce Wayne Florals because they came highly recommended by everyone we talked to.

    When we came into the floral shop, we were greeted with a mockup of the centerpieces and other decorative florals. The mockup helped us to understand how everything would look on the wedding day, so we were sure we loved the florals.

    – Makayla and Adam |
  • My floral inspiration was simple: greenery with hints of whites, pinks, and purples to complement my color palette.

    I saw the work Bruce Wayne Florals has done in the past and knew they wouldn’t disappoint. I absolutely was in awe at what they did, from the aisle to decorating the pergola where we were married to the beautiful table arrangements. The most important piece, though, was my bouquet. I wish it could have stayed that perfect forever, but I managed to have the florals preserved in a shadow box; such a special memory.

  • Breathtaking arrangements and someone with experience adding flowers to the fountain in the Vinoy Tea Garden.

    We chose Bruce Wayne Florals because our planner said he was the best option for us, and she was right. We were blown away by the centerpieces, the florals on our stage, and the floral accents around our bar all over. Another big reason we hired Bruce Wayne was that we had seen his work on the Vinoy Tea Garden fountain, and we knew we wanted to get married in front of it. The arrangement they put on the fountain was stunning and exactly what we wanted.

  • “We chose Bruce Wayne Florals through a referral from our lovely wedding planners. When we had our mock setup appointment, they did amazing; we didn’t change a thing. They captured exactly what we were going for right from the start. They also worked within our budget and made several recommendations on what would look best the day of. We requested for the ceremony aisle to be lined with eucalyptus, and it turned out just as pictured. We would use them over and over again!”

  • “Bruce Wayne Florals took all of my thoughts and words on the florals and decor look, and made them come to life! They added little touches and details that I wouldn’t have ever thought of, that truly pulled the entire look and wedding together. AH-mazing! The wedding arch dripping with big, luscious, green leaves and just the right amount of white florals, and dripping green vines made the wedding look like heaven on earth!”

    – Ahyoung and Lamont |
  • “I wanted the overall reception to match our personalities and the venue. After meeting with John and Bruce, we knew it was meant to be! They knew exactly what I was picturing, and what I wanted! My bouquet looked EXACTLY like my inspiration picture. Bruce Wayne Florals made my Pinterest board come to life, even better, actually!”

    – Ashley and Randy |
  • “The florals were the toughest part of the wedding planning. I thought when we first started this process that I would just be able to find some photos from a wedding I liked and copy exactly what they did. However, that was definitely not possible given my taste turned out to blend of a few different décor styles. I really liked how Bruce Wayne Florals’ proposal properly captured the flowers and style I was going for. They took the time to include many pictures in the proposal and explain in detail their design plan. Lastly, they offered a mockup which was a must for us. Between their competitive pricing and the ability to provide insight into their vision, the choice was easy!”

    – Roseann and Paul |
  • “From our first meeting with John Elice from Bruce Wayne Florals, I knew that he understood our vision and would be able to bring that vision to life. He is a true artist and one of the most pleasant individuals we had the opportunity to work with throughout our planning. John’s creations were masterpieces and truly shaped the spaces with luscious layers. He was able to incorporate many elements of light, which came to life as the sun set during the reception over the bay.”

    – Noelle and Dave |
  • We were looking for someone with an open mind who was willing to listen to our vision and help bring it to life.

  • We wanted eucalyptus and roses, and I had reviewed countless wedding boards online that had given me an idea of what I wanted.

    We hired Bruce Wayne Florals because our wedding planner highly recommended them, and we knew it was the perfect choice when we attended our mock table set up. It was all so beautiful we literally didn’t change a thing.

    – Allie and Alfred |
  • I wanted a florist who does beautiful work of course, but also one who would work with our budget. I wanted a certain look for the centerpieces but also for each of the bouquets.

    Bruce Wayne Florals was absolutely fantastic! The florals were exactly what I pictured. They were extremely easy to communicate with and worked to accommodate all of my requests. I stalked a lot of Bruce Wayne’s social media posts and just loved the look of white, greenery, and gold! Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were. They worked to stay right within our budget!

    – Erica and Tom |
  • Wedding flowers complete the overall look, so we were hoping to find someone who could translate what we said we wanted the overall feel to be and show us what’s possible.

    When we first saw our flower proposal, we could not believe how well Bruce Wayne Florals captured our vision. We were blown away by how they took our ideas from concept to reality. Everyone who attended our wedding was impressed by how unique the arrangements were and how some of those roses were the largest we had ever seen.

    – Ashli and Greg |
  • Romantic greenery vibes. I wanted all white flowers with lots and lots of greenery. It was all about the florals for me, that was what we were most excited about.

    Bruce Wayne Florals did an amazing job bringing our fairytale into a reality. The florals made the décor even more fabulous. They listened to what I wanted and gave me just that but even better! I could literally talk about our florals all day, they were so beautiful!

    – Christa and Tony |
  • As someone who didn’t know the first thing about floral arrangements, I looked through the companies’ websites to find images of similar bouquets to what I had in mind. This way I could just show them, ‘this is what I want.’

    I chose Bruce Wayne Florals not only for their talent but also because of their customer service. I worked with John Elice, and he was able to take my ideas and create a portfolio of what I was looking for. He took the time to discuss the various types of flowers that could fit my vision and made suggestions to bring my ideas to life. John was very patient and willing to make changes and work with my budget. Also, the software that they used for the contract was very straightforward and user-friendly. It included photos of what the arrangements and décor would look like so I could visualize our plans.

  • Hours of Pinterest and Etsy inspired my wedding florals! I wanted simplicity in whites, golds, and greens. I also love whimsical, pillowy florals and asymmetry in the design. My inspiration was traditional but warm and romantic. This is why we included tables exclusively with candles with glass candle holders of various heights.

    Florals were the most daunting part of the wedding process for me. However, I only had to meet with Bruce Wayne Florals once for a consultation, and immediately, I knew they shared my vision. I walked away from our initial meeting fully trusting they would bring my vision to life with their experience and details, and I never worried about it again. The final product was truly better than I could have ever imagined.

  • I wanted a modern tropical vibe to the wedding since we got engaged in a tropical location. After I found what I envisioned on Pinterest with orchids and topical greenery, I was pretty much stuck on that idea no matter the venue we picked.

    Our planner introduced us to Bruce Wayne Florals after I explained what I wanted. She immediately knew that Bruce was exactly who we needed to work with to make the modern tropical flower arrangements I was hoping for. He delivered. The flowers were gorgeous!

    – Katie and Jake |
  • My wedding floral inspiration came from a series of Pinterest board photos that I had gathered up over the years of colorful and iridescent palettes and designs.

    When meeting at the florist to discuss the details and planning of the centerpieces was such a fun experience, and the staff was extremely helpful. They took their time to make sure we created exactly what I wanted. I hired Bruce Wayne Florals as it was one of the suggestions to choose from my planner, and I couldn’t have been happier.

    The ceremony felt so romantic and enchanting, with the white baby’s breath displayed beautifully throughout the Tea Garden. The detail and creativity that went into the center centerpieces for the reception were one of a kind. The baby’s breath was absolutely stunning! I loved the idea of coloring the baby’s breath to create the exact look I was going for at the reception.

    – Michelle and Richard |
  • This wedding was as important to me as it was to my father. Every moment since I was a child, my father had fresh flowers in my bathroom when I would come to visit. He loves fresh flowers. That’s what we were looking for: fresh, beautiful, stunning flowers that could hold up in the wake of a great party.

    We met Bruce Wayne Florals and loved his work. We were happy to know that our decor rental company and planner worked closely with him.

    – Amanda and Dan |
  • I sent my vision to my planners at Parties A’ La Carte, and they worked with Bruce Wayne Florals to make it a reality.

    Jessica has worked with Bruce Wayne Florals for years. We were happy to have planners suggest vendors and work directly with the florist on our behalf. The bright florals were really special and unique to our wedding. We couldn’t have been happier with the wedding flowers. It was exactly what I envisioned!
