Martins Supermarket

Our flowers turned out beautiful and the price was magnificent! Martins florist shop does a wonderful job working with you to get the flowers you want for your wedding at a reasonable price.

We used the Martin's Floral Shoppe at the South Bend location at Ironwood and S.R. 23. We met with Martin's after meeting with another local florist to discuss bouquets and boutonnieres for our wedding. The cost for our floral needs at the competition was shocking. We were happy to find that Martin's offered the same flowers at half the cost. Upon signing your floral contract, you are informed that colors of flowers can't be guaranteed. This is slightly scary, if you are planning a wedding. I didn't think it would be much of an issue though, since our flower colors were just different shades of pink. However, I was disappointed on our wedding day to find that the shades were not at all what I had hoped. My bridal bouquet was a beautiful bouquet of peonies that I was complimented on several times throughout the day. However, the shade of pink was the shade that the bridesmaid bouquets were supposed to be. The bridesmaid bouquets were supposed to be a light shade of pink and my bouquet was supposed to be a fuchsia pink. Instead, the bridesmaid bouquets were almost peach and mine was the light pink. I would have been okay with this if the groom and groomsmen boutonnieres would have matched up with this. My groom's boutonniere was supposed to match the shade of my bouquet and the groomsmen boutonnieres were supposed to match the bridesmaid bouquets. Instead, the groom had a fuchsia boutonniere that didn't match anyone's bouquet and the groomsmen had the light pink boutonnieres that matched my bouquet. Nothing was said to explain this to the person that picked up our flowers. I just wish that if they had to change the shades of the flowers, they would have at least matched the flowers up like they were supposed to. The bouquets weren't as big as I was led to believe they would be either.

Overall, Martin's offers very competitive prices. If you are hoping for an exact shade of flower though, you may want to think twice. If you have a basic color, Martin's may be the place for you. They can make beautiful bouquets. The location I was at, which is where all the South Bend/Mishawaka stores refer weddings to, does not deliver. This wasn't an issue for us, but it may be for you.

The Martin's supermarket has a surprisingly wide selection of flowers. We were very pleased with the results.
