Dreamy and creative

Rawan was an absolute delight from start to finish. She responded quickly from my very first inquiry and was so flexible and thoughtful in helping us find beautiful options within our budget. She truly went above and beyond to understand my vision and color palette, and she brought it all to life with such creativity and whimsy. The florals added a sense of effortless romance and magic to our day — exactly what I had hoped for. Rawan and her team were wonderful to work with, and I can’t recommend them enough!

An incredible experience

Rawan was an absolute joy to work with. She is creative, kind, and thoughtful, and her eye for design is unmatched. She provided so much valuable guidance when planning my wedding florals, while also really listening to my vision and bringing it to life immaculately. I was so in love with how all of my florals and installs turned out, and I would 100% recommend Rawan and her team to anyone looking for floral services.

Floral dreams come true!

Rawan made my floral dreams literally come true for my wedding. From the start she was so sweet and took the time to answer all of my questions and create multiple proposals and quotes as I came up with different/changing requests. She worked with us to stay within our budget and after sharing a bunch of inspiration images and talking about the vibe of the wedding, she somehow transformed what was in my imagination into the most magnificent display of flowers I have ever seen. Like totally nailed it. My bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets were GORGEOUS; she was so creative with the florals for the ceremony and the tablescapes (as well as the candles to go with it), it was STUNNING. Our venue had a big blank wall and she created the most incredible floral installation that was utterly breathtaking. Guests were raving about how beautiful it all was and it really made the whole scene magical. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was working with Aurora Botanica!

The Best Decision We Made

Choosing to work with Aurora Botanica was the best decision we made while planning our wedding. I had a distinctive vision, filled with disco balls and moody color palettes to compliment a 70s-inspired aesthetic for the event...and Rawan and her team NAILED IT. I was a little nervous when we first started planning the creative and design, because I hadn't seen any wedding like it, but the moment I saw Aurora Botanica's work and portfolio, it was meant to be. They executed beyond our dreams and were always so incredibly flexible whenever we wanted to add or change elements. We had an incredible time working with them, and they made the whole process feel collaborative and FUN. Rawan is not only amazingly talent, she is so thoughtful and sweet. She is not just a florist, she is a designer that will bring your wedding to life.

Stunning Floral Creations

Aurora Botanica turned my floral dreams into a beautiful, magical reality with an enchanting wall installation and table arrangements more stunning than I could ever have imagined.

The moment I came across the floral creations designed by Rawan, I knew I had to book her as my wedding floral vendor. There was no one else that I felt understood my vision better than Rawan. From our very first call, we instantly connected and couldn’t stop bouncing ideas off of each other. Rawan made the whole process feel so effortless, she offered suggestions for floral alternatives that aligned with my budget (which was much appreciated), and she was incredibly kind and positive throughout the planning process during a pandemic. When our wedding day arrived, Rawan handed me my bouquet and I was overcome with such emotion. Florals were very important to me for this day and she absolutely exceeded expectations. My mother, bridesmaids, other vendors, and even my father couldn’t stop talking about the florals. Rawan worked with me so that each arrangement was unique, a mix of flower types, that all fell into the same color palette of rose, peach, blush, golden mustard, mint, and ivory. Every color, flower type, placement...MY BOUQUET was stunning! It was so perfect. After receiving our wedding photos and reliving the details of that day, Aurora Botanica made it truly unforgettable. I’m still swooning over my florals. I’m so glad our paths crossed. Rawan is a true floral artist with incredible talent, the kindest heart, an eye for beauty, and such style and grace. I can’t praise her enough, hire Aurora Botanica to create the most beautiful, chic, whimsical, editorial floral arrangements of your dreams.

I have never seen more beautiful floral design ....

Oh man, I don't even know where to begin. You are crazy if you don't hire Rawan with Aurora Botanica! She is the Picasso of floral design! I planned a destination wedding in NYC (I am from Tulsa, Ok), so the stress was on to find my florist in the price range I wanted. I was referred to Rawan from Francesca with Haven's Kitchen (my venue coordinator), and I thank God everyday for sending Aurora Botanica my way. Before you read my review, take a moment to go check out their instagram @aurorabotanica, so we are all on the same page :-)

Ok! Now that you have seen pure magic, I will continue with my review. When I first connected with Rawan, she immediately was a very easy person to talk to, and was already brainstorming creative ways to bring my ideas to fruition. I told her I wanted my wedding to feel like "heaven on earth" ... and boy did she make it feel that way. A lot of florists just do exactly what you ask, but Rawan, not only took my ideas, but she added an artistic and original perspective on it, that brought my wedding floral to a whole new level. Three words ... "baby's breath clouds." I gave Rawan my limit to what I could spend with my floral, and she showed me what she could do with my budget, and it was beyond what I could have imagined! I requested a hanging ceremony piece with baby's breath, along with baby's breath hanging from the ceiling (I saw it on her Instagram that she had done it before, so I asked her if she could do it for me in my price range). I wanted baby pink, white, and baby blue as my color scheme, not expecting what she would create with it. You guys, she hand dyed the baby's breath in my color scheme! YES. She added silver to my color scheme as well, and it truly transformed my ceremony space into HEAVEN ON EARTH. It was airy and light. I felt like I was in a damn dream! My husband and I bought a neon sign that read "The Downings" ... and she flipped the ceremony space into our reception. What do I mean by flip? She took my hanging ceremony piece and transformed it to frame our neon sign on the wall! Yes ... I attached pictures. It is the most breathtaking creation I have ever seen. Let's just say this ... there is a difference between florists, and artists. She is a floral artist. She comes up with things, that I didn't even think you could do with flowers! Needless to say, you are making the biggest mistake of your life, if you do not hire Aurora Botanica to bring magic to your wedding or your event ... five million stars to Rawan with Aurora Botanica !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
