Her first job, at age 16, was in a flower shop. She found her calling early in life and never looked back!
She purposely maintains Jeri Solomon Floral Design as a small, boutique event studio because she believes in attention to detail and that each and every client deserves gorgeous flowers, impeccable design and exceptional service.
She LOVES flowers and helping people especially when it means being a part of a significant event in their lives, no matter how big or small. She’s passionate about taking a seed of idea from a client and finessing it into a gorgeous floral event.
She believes in an inclusive, and equitable environment , where all clients, staff and vendors–whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or identity–feel valued and respected.
She’s a founding member of the Boston Wedding Group and has proudly maintained her membership for 25+ years. For more than half that time she has served on the executive board in the capacity of president, vice president, past president, secretary and website chair.
Jeri is the co-founder of Real Deal Wedding Insiders® – a wedding planning education platform with a mission to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information to guide couples through every stage of their planning journey. Her first book, Guide to Smart Wedding Planning, was published in October of 2022.
She is a trusted advisor for small business owners and provides consulting services for floral and other creative businesses.
Her other loves include her incredibly supportive husband, Jim (he understands he doesn’t see much of her on weekends) her very witty and handsome son, Jason (of course she’s biased!) her tuxedo cat, Hiro, her perennial garden and any kind of chocolate.
She believes practicing yoga solves most dilemmas, and is a Certified Yoga Instructor (RYT-200)
Her motto is: Weddings are stressful. Flowers shouldn’t be.
She has won the prestigious WeddingWire Couple’s Choice Award every year since 2010 and The Knot’s Best of Weddings award annually since 2017.
