Magical Beach Wedding

Sheryl & Alexis made my daughter's wedding at the Crescent Beach Club absolutely magical. They worked within our budget and brought her beached theme vision to life with gorgeous flowers, starfish and seashells, as well as an actual fish in a giant wine glass surrounded by the oyster shell place cards. The arch on the beach was beautifully decorated with palm and flowers. The rows of chairs were accented with tulle & giant seashells which tied together the perfect scene. Every detail was stunning. Sheryl & Alexis were so kind, creative and wonderful to work with. We're forever grateful for how beautiful they made her dream wedding come true.

Obsessed with my wedding florals!

I could not have been happier with how my wedding flowers came out! I am not all that knowledgeable about florals myself, so I completely trusted the professionals to make my vision come to life. Black Dahlia came recommended by my venue. I had an initial phone meeting about 10 months before the wedding, where I sent inspiration photos and described my vision. I then had another call the week before the wedding to make some minor updates, but other than that there was very little I needed to do. The day of the wedding, the florals were delivered on time and arranged beautifully and exactly how we discussed. I couldn't stop talking about how much I loved the flowers all night long. Thank you Black Dahlia for your incredible work! I highly recommend them to any bride, especially those who are not too familiar with florals (you can trust the professionals here!!)

Most amazing florist and wedding coordinator!!!

We chose Sonja and Black Dahlia upon our first meeting. Once we met, we knew Sonja and the team at Black Dahlia would help make our daughter’s dream wedding a reality! The flowers were only the beginning of what Sonja did for us. ( Believe me they were incredible) Her wedding coordinator service was over the top! My husband initially did not feel this was a service we needed, after the wedding he commented that was some of the best money spent! Sonja helped us finalize things with other vendors, handle tip money, help organize day of activities and addressed any issues that arose. Thank goodness her assistant was a seamstress that fixed a bridesmaids gown that wouldn’t zipper! I do need to mention flowers as I am uploading pictures. They were over the top! She transformed The Mansion at Oyster Bay into a holiday wonderland!!!

Excellent!

I used Black Dahlia as part of the Lessings package at the Pavilion at Sunken Meadow. I didn’t get any upgrades but added some centerpieces. Everything was beautiful!

Most amazing experience. We love you Black Dahlia!

I can't put into words the gratitude my husband and I have for Sonja, Mark, and the Black Dahlia team. They made our wedding (plus rehearsal dinner and bridal shower) unbelievably beautiful and SEAMLESS. Sonja is so talented and professional (not to mention extremely hard working and helpful) - the second we walked into Black Dahlia she made us feel comfortable and taken care of. We got married at Oheka Castle in October 2022, and we still receive countless compliments on the floral arrangements from our guests. The flowers were elegant, timeless, and exactly what I was looking for. I was blown away, and even more blown away with how efficient and easy they made the entire planning process -- they took care of everything. Do not think twice before hiring Black Dahlia - they are simply the best. We could not be more grateful. THANK YOU Sonja and Mark for making our special day absolutely perfect!

Most beautiful wedding flowers

Sheryl and the team at Black Dahlia did such an incredible job with the flowers for our wedding. From the start, we explained our vision and she immediately understood and captured it perfectly. She was sweet and easy to work with and wanted to make us happy. The fall colors and especially the vines covered with flowers on the arbor where we got married were so gorgeous. We absolutely recommend!

Beautiful Flowers

Affordable prices, stunning centerpieces. I know nothing about flowers but provided a mood board with pictures of different arrangements and color scheme, and they made my vision come to life. They were very accommodating with adjustments given our the venue change. Sonya was very helpful with suggestions for our new space. They repurposed some of my ceremony flowers for the reception. I have never really been much of a flower person, but the flowers really added such a beautiful pop of color to our day. Anyone who is looking for another great vendor with KIND people with affordable prices, Black Dahlia is a great option.

Could not be happier!!

Sonja and Black Dahlia were phenomenal to work with for our 5/20/22 wedding! From the moment I first spoke to Sonja over the phone, I knew we had to have them be the florist for our wedding! Extremely detailed and they really brought my vision to life! The flowers, centerpieces and bouquets were STUNNING! They provided 3 unique centerpieces for our wedding ceremony. We really could not be happier! Highly recommend them and are definitely using them for any and all future events I have! They are the best of the best!!

Wonderful for TWO Weddings

Sonja and the Black Dahlia team are truly wonderful! They provided beautiful flowers for my small, intimate wedding in May 2021 and large wedding in September 2021. For September, they also put up incredible ceiling installations that were a literal dream come true. They were so kind and easy to work with, prompt, professional, generous, flexible, and highly talented. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!
