I worked next door to All A Bloom for two years. In that time span, I watched as customer after customer came into their shop and left with the most beautiful bouquets you could ever imagine. I would sometimes go and walk around their shop during my break time because it was so beautiful. The owner, Anita, is very creative and always had a theme in the entire store. Everything was decorated perfectly, and she even loaned my office some of her decorations for Christmas. I often browsed the cooler, as I dont receive flowers from anyone in my life, and I dreamed of getting a bouquet someday that she had made. They were stunning, fresh, and gorgeous. The way that they creatively assemble the flowers is something to behold. They take their time with customers to ensure that each one gets exactly what they desire. When the time came for my son to go to his first dance, we went to All A Bloom to purchase the corsage for his date. Her father was killed in action serving our country. Since her dress was navy blue, he spent a lot of time trying to figure out what his date would like. He chose a beautiful bracelet that she can wear as jewelry, and decided to use small red and white roses along with navy blue ribbon as a tribute to her father. I stood back and watched Anita work with my son to make the most beautiful corsage I have ever seen. This was a moment in my sons life that will not be forgotten, and Anita made sure that he was completely happy with the choices he made. She brought out several ribbons for his selection, and never once rushed him. Her goal was that my son would completely happy and that his date would be, too. Fast forward to the night of the dance; he gave her the corsage, and when she opened it, her eyes welled up with tears. She realized that the corsage was a representation of respect for the life that her father gave serving our country, and even her mother cried. This was a moment that touched all of us deeply, and it is due largely in part to Anita. I have never once seen anything in her shop or anything carried out of her shop that was not absolute perfection. I am sorry that other people in this world hide behind a phone and computer and completely degrade hard working people. All A Bloom has always been top notch, but there is absolutely no reason to come online and call someone by name and be so nasty. I know Anita as a businesswoman, and I stand behind her and support her. If you need flowers, please disregard the negative review that was given. It was apparently from a very emotional person who does not know how to be an adult and control her temper. I never get flowers; I am a single mother. My joy often came from simply walking into Anitas shop and seeing her staff laughing and happy as they worked together to create some of the most beautiful arrangements that I have ever seen. They should be featured in magazines. And to the person who had such negative things to say, you need to remember that this is a small business run by a very kind woman, and your words can affect her customer base and her life. Thats a really dangerous place to put yourself because karma has a way of coming back to you. I choose All A Bloom for my company, and each arrangement we have ordered has brought multiple smiles, tears, and hugs. You cannot get a better florist than All A Bloom; the personal service, attention to detail, and absolutely gorgeous arrangements are out of this world. I give All A Bloom five stars all the way, and am a very proud repeat customer and will continue to be. Sherry Walker

In Anitas response she "bent" the truth so my review wouldnt hurt her business. She was very very rude to talk to and I hope anyone needing a florist in Mobile and you are not able to be there to make sure you get what you pay for - I still stand by "DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST" if you are ordering long distance. I wish I had read ALL of the reviews before doing business with this florist. On May 23,2016 I ordered the Teleflora Sweet Embrace arrangement to be sent to my sister-in-law for her and my brothers 40th Anniversary. First I was told that they did not have the exact vase nor the bracelet that went with it. I suggested a stuffed elephant (the are ROLL TIDE fans). A couple of days later I added 1 Mylar balloon and 4 latex ones. Now remember the stone for the 40th Anniversary is Ruby. With the flower arrangements, stuffed animal and balloons I spent $128. When the bracelet was not available they should have discounted the cost of the bear, which they did not do. I am 400 miles away and could not be there to make sure everything was what I had ordered. When I saw a picture of what they delivered, I was flabbergasted. It looked like an arrangement for a sixteen year old. It did NOT look anything I ordered. I gave them plenty of time to get the flowers for my arrangement but instead I got cheap flowers. I could have picked this arrangement up at Walmart for $40 max. The owner and I went round and round about what flowers were supposed to be in the arrangement (including reading from her own website) but she would never budge. I called Teleflora and was informed the Sweet Embrace was last years catalog and is no longer available. Why is it still on her website. There were other things wrong but I wont go into detail. Lets just say that the Anita Motykiewicz and her designer need to back to school. The most important fact in all of this - is the 40th Anniversary bouquet did not scream Happy Anniversary, it screamed Happy Birthday and I felt so sorry for my sister-in-law. If I had been able to be there when it was delivered I would have took the bouquet back and demanded it be done right. Please read all the reviews because she has done this before to someone ordering long distance. Again, DO USE THIS florist if you want it done right!

This is the worst florist I have ever dealt with. We drove 1500 miles to attend my brother in laws funeral. We ordered a wreath, paid $160, asked for Saturday delivery. Got an email saying no problem. Saturday no wreath. Called Sunday, were told " we dont deliver on Saturday." Hmmmm. Monday AM funeral. 8-10 very attractive wreaths on display. Im walking down the line to see which one we bought. None of these. Came to a small wreath about the size of a dinner plate. That one has our name on it. About 1/8th size of nice wreaths. So embarassed I tore off the tag with our names on it. Looks like it cost $15. Asked my niece how much she paid for the large wreath. $95. This company knows that if you spend $160 you SHOULD get a very nice wreath. So instead they send this piece of s---. They knowingly ripped off out of town mourners. Avoid Avoid Avoid

I cant say enough about the care and quality that All A Bloom provides. I met these great people randomly when trying to find flowers for my nieces baby shower three years ago. They did such an amazing job at such a reasonable price, my entire family wanted to use them. Since then we have called All A Bloom for every occasion-happy and sad, and they never disappoint. They go so much above and beyond with their customer service that I drive from Birmingham for their flowers and gifts! I completely trust them to do beautiful work at fair fees and highly recommend them to anyone.
