ABOUT THE OWNER
Tonia Benson

Owner and Albia native, Tonia Benson has been obsessed with the wedding world for as long as she can remember. Working as the Wedding Sales Manager at Honey Creek Resort since 2014 and becoming a Certified Wedding Planner in 2016, she has really found her passion helping couples to have their perfect day. Giving birth to her son, Henry in 2018 was the perfect reason for a change of pace. It seemed like a natural transition to move from venue planning into the flower field. Inspired by beautiful colors, trending floral designs and unique flowers, Tonia is always bringing new and style-forward floral arrangements to the table. She is passionate about creating customized arrangements that really suit each recipient, using different containers and designs that are pretty from each angle. Tonia has always loved weddings and wedding work, but never knew how much she would love working with families of loved one's past. So honored that people trust us to bring to life their loved one's passions and experiences through flowers. It really is just as rewarding to put together something so truly personal, bringing joy for each client and their families in such sorrowful times. Eager to please and enthusiastic about customer service, thoughtful presentation and one of a kind floral experiences, Blooms & Things strives to make each gift personal and noteworthy.

Flowers were beautiful, arrived on time and card was done how I wanted it. Thank you. I will definitely do business again here.

The website was easy to use and they have a spot to leave them a note about your purchase. Pleased with ease of use of webpage.

I made a last minute online order and gave the wrong address for the delivery and they still got it to the church in time for a morning funeral.

Wow! I was absolutely amazed at how beautiful the arrangement was the designer created for my friends birthday! My friends birthday is 12/23 and as her best friends I know you don’t mix the birthday and holiday! I asked for an arrangement that was not holiday but that she could also display right now! And only shared that she liked black and white check. The designer knocked it out of the park! It was gorgeous, included black and white check, was not red and green but included greenery which would look great displayed during December and the holiday!! Bonus, it included two of her favorite flowers too! I was beyond impressed! I ordered late Sunday afternoon and she got it by 10 am on Monday! Website and checkout was super easy to use! If I need flowers delivered in that area again I will definitely be using Blooms & Things!

The only “smart” florist in the area that stays open 2 hours longer than the others. This benefits people who live in a different time zone of America. The arrangement was beautiful. Delivered with care by checking to make sure my daughter was home & calling me to verify. Polite, cheerful & happy to do the job. Now I KNOW who my Iowa florist will be!! :-)

I did not get the type of plant I ordered for the funeral. I was at the visitation and saw the plant. It just wasn't what I wanted to send.

Went above and beyond by sending me pictures of the arrangement when it was done. Also, took the time to attempt delivery twice because noone was home on the first try and they didn't want to leave them outside. Fair pricing, speedy turnaround from order to delivery, friendly and caring. Overall perfect experience for me.

I ordered online,quick and easy. I did call and talk to Stacy about the delivery location. She was very kind and helpful. Only negative I saw was I was hoping for a cute, elegant mug like the one pictured but instead it was a bright yellow smiley face mug. Besides that the flowers looked amazing! :) thank you!

Blooms and Things is always wonderful. I moved away from the Albia area and use them multiple times a year to send flowers to family and friends. They have never disappointed! I am sure it isn’t the most convenient thing, but they even deliver to family out on the country roads around Albia. I really appreciate their service. Thank you again!

With being almost 2 hours away from my mom during the pandemic, Blooms & Things website made it so easy to order through and provided plenty of options for mother's day. I knew the idea of this bunch would be perfect, and my mom sent pictures of how it turned out. We both loved it! Thank you!

Love Blooms and Things! I ordered on their website at 10 pm, and they had the bouquet delivered by 10:30 the next morning!
Website is very easy to use, and I appreciated being able to select “custom arrangement” and then choose my price point.
The flowers were beautiful!

I appreciate the fact that I can place an order of flowers in the morning and Tonia & her crew get them delivered the same day! My Grandma loved her Birthday Bouquet -- she said it was beautiful and it really made her day! I would highly recommend Blooms & Things to anyone looking to make a floral or gift purchase!!!
