BOOK IMMEDIATELY - you won't regret it!
JoAnn and her team were phenomenal to work with. On the day of the girls arrived promptly and set up everything quickly, as well as repurposed the arch to decorate our sweetheart, cake, and card/gift table. Everything looked really beautiful. As for JoAnn herself, I don't know where to begin. Brides - as you know florals are VERY expensive, and JoAnn provided us our centerpieces, bouquets, boutonniere, aisle and arch decor for a very reasonable price. As mentioned, she told me on our first call she would repurpose the ceremony arch garland and flowers to use on our sweetheart table instead of trying to charge me for an additional piece. Last minute, I realized I did not have an arch for the garland and she rented me one for a reasonable price as well. She also changed the date for us to go up to look at the centerpieces and finalize our order because it was the weekend of my bridal shower. She was so accommodating, but also very kind throughout this whole process, providing me with reassurance when I got stressed and listened to all of my concerns when I was overwhelmed. In the end, she followed through on everything she promised, and did so with a genuine warmth and love in her heart for the work she does. JoAnn, thank you so much for everything - so grateful for you! -

Cherry Brandy Designs
TLDR: Beautiful, fresh flowers take a well-organized team! The Cherry Brandy team was just that, and they executed perfectly.
The Deets:
It was so easy to work with this team! I loved our consultation, that's where everything came together. It was collaborative and generative, giving my husband and I the chance to be a part of the process while learning about what would be in season to execute our vision.
We wanted simple but lush florals and greens for our wedding. The venue itself was so beautiful that we really just wanted to complement it and bring in some forest-y magic. The CBD team listened to this vision and worked with me to realize it seasonally and in-budget.
On our wedding day I can only assume everything went perfectly because it all looked beautiful to me! Everything was done with great attention and felt so organized (especially upon packup the next day!). I had brought a ton of vintage bottles to use for our centerpieces groupings. CBD treated them with care and were able to utilize so many of what I had brought, with a number of the extras being placed around the venue to help accent the space.
It was an extra treat to see the team briefly as they were finishing up. Such beautiful smiles to come upon after the ceremony and one-on-one time on our way to reception! Thank you Cherry Brandy Designs!

JoAnn and her designers were such a pleasure to work with! They were able to take my ideas and create the most beautiful arrangements. As someone who loves plants and flowers, I felt that what they created was beyond my expectations. Being able to meet with them in their studio and see the centerpieces beforehand was also extremely helpful! When my husband and I went, their warm and down-to-earth nature made it a pleasant and fun experience. In addition, the high quality of the flowers they used clearly showed as my bouquet still looked pristine the day after the wedding. We so appreciate how you all were able to make our big day ever more special. We would highly recommend Cherry Brandy Designs to anyone looking for a florist for their wedding! -

JoAnn at Cherry Brandy Designs was so wonderful to work with! From our initial phone consultation to the wedding day, she totally understood what we were looking for and had amazing suggestions for making the most of our flowers while staying in our budget. Her designs were gorgeous and complimented our venue perfectly. Her warm and friendly manner made the planning process fun! Since she was familiar with our venue and many of our other vendors, she was able to communicate directly with them for a lot of the logistics which was enormously appreciated. If you want beautiful flowers from an expert you can trust, call JoAnn! -

Beautiful and helpful
Joann was amazing!! She took my vision of what I wanted for my flowers and nailed it. I was on budget as most brides are and she worked with my budget! She told ways to cut cost and advised me on where to not cut cost. I knew her advise was coming from a good place and not just trying to charge as much as possible. My flowers were amazing. I couldn’t have been happier. Thank you so much!!! -

Cannot say enough about how great it was to work with Cherry Brandy!
JoAnn is the best! From our first phone call, she was so warm and honest which made the experience a great one. She helped me maximize what we could get in our budget and never pushed for things were unnecessary and would set us over. She knew our venue, West Hills Country Club, well so her guidance on where to spend our money was greatly appreciated. For our flower trial, JoAnn and Heidi got my vision spot on and were great at explaining which flowers would be in season and in helping to choose backups if needed. The day of, I didn't get to see JoAnn and her team much, but they did an amazing and beautiful job! Our wedding was in November, and I wanted fall colors without being too Thnaksgiving-like. I was thrilled with how perfect everything turned out. I would recommend Cherry Brandy any day of the week. JoAnn was truly a pleasure to work with! -

Lindsay Sent on 10/28/2019Beautiful Flowers, Fun & Easy to Work With!
JoAnn was simply amazing to work with! I couldn't be happier with the flowers she put together for our wedding. I immediately knew I wanted JoAnn to be a part of our big day after our first phone call. After talking with her and sending her over a few pictures I had in mind, she emailed me a detailed proposal, outlining my vision and turning it into reality. She promptly responded to all my emails- even if it was just to tell me she was on vacation, which I really appreciated. She was always ready to answer all my questions, stay within my budget, and let me know the pros and cons to any flower that I asked about. The bouquets she crafted were simply beautiful. My girls and I received so many compliments on them. JoAnn truly knows what she is doing and is a pleasure to work with! -

Beautiful flowers
I can’t thank Joann enough. My flowers were gorgeous and added the finishing touch to my dream wedding. It was a stress free process and she even does a sampling event so that you can see what your flowers look like (not something many vendors offer). Thank you Joann -

Amazing wedding flowers!
I cannot thank JoAnn and her team at Cherry Brandy Designs enough for the beautiful wedding flowers that they provided. They made the whole process of selecting our flowers and arrangements so easy. I had a tight budget for flowers and JoAnn worked with me to ensure that my budget was met with the most beautiful flowers possible. I am so happy with how everything turned out!Cherry Brandy Designs by What Dreams Are Made Of...'s reply:

Erica S. Sent on 03/01/2019A saving grace, disguised as a florist...
JoAnn was my saving grace during my wedding last weekend. When I learned my father had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and if I wanted him to be there to walk me down the aisle, I would need to plan a wedding in 2 months. The first day I met JoAnn, I told her my story and she let me sob my eyes out in her office. I believe everything happens for a reason and God sent me to JoAnn that day because he knew I needed her, even when I did not. She promised me my wedding would be amazing and she would make sure of it! Planning a wedding in 2 months is an impossible task, but with JoAnn's help and guidance, it all came together. Even when our officiant backed out a week before the wedding, she set us up to make sure that was also taken care. The day came and my flowers couldn't have been more beautiful. The bouquets, boutonnieres, and table settings were a beautiful blue,even in the middle winter. JoAnn was my florist, but I am proud to now consider her a close friend who I will forever be indebted to for helping a girl get walked down the aisle by her dad💕Cherry Brandy Designs by What Dreams Are Made Of...'s reply:
Erica and Thad!
Please know how much I loved helping you! It was an absolute honor to assist! You and your dad had your special time together and it’s a memory you’ll always keep in your heart!
Be happy always! I love you! 💗🌸 -

Nicole Sent on 12/27/2018Cherry Brandy Designs brought my wedding vision to life!
I simply can not say enough about Cherry Brand Designs, JoAnn and her entire staff. When we hired JoAnn, I knew I was getting a great florist. What I did know was that I was also gaining a trusted friend. JoAnn helped me figure out what flowers fit my style, my budget and my wedding. Aside from being just my florist, she gave me valuable advice on wedding planning as a whole - recommended vendors, gave me tips so other vendors didn't take advantage of me, and even talked me through not being a bridezilla a few times when I definitely needed it. JoAnn, Heidi, Crystal and team - I am forever grateful for your flowers, your support and your continued friendship. I will be using you for flowers in every aspect of my life and recommending you to EVERYONE I know. If I could do it all over again, the only thing I would change would be to book JoAnn sooner.
Thank you! -

Michele Sent on 09/28/2017Let me begin by saying that the start of our wedding day was chaos. Several of the people in the bridal party were not where they were suppose to be when they were suppose to be there. We was unable to meet the girls who dropped off the flowers but my matron of honor did. She said they were nice and happy. The bouquets were delivered with vases and water to the Inn and the table settings were delivered to our venue on time and in perfect condition. The flowers were beautiful. The way JoAnn arranged them was exactly what I wanted. We had yellow sunflowers, red daisies, orange ranunculus and white freesias and some greenery. The colors were so balanced, the flower sizes compliments each other with the sunflowers being just large enough to take center stage but so not large that they overwhelmed the arrangements and the bouquets themselves were the perfect size. JoAnn is super nice and awesome to work with. We spoke to her on the phone and through email and she was always quick to answer questions and was very flexible. When I changed my mind about one flower choice and was unsure what to replace it with she suggested the freesias and they were perfect. We've received so many compliments on the flowers and even now when showing people photos they tell me they love the flowers. We highly recommend JoAnn and her team for any of your floral needs. They do professional work, they care about the customer and their products show this dedication. If we ever need a florist in the future we will definitely call JoAnn! -
