Cherry Brandy Designs was an absolute dream for our wedding. Owner JoAnn was responsive and knowledgeable and designer Megan created our perfect arrangements. At our floral trial, the team worked with us to make sure every detail was to our liking, and JoAnn made sure the price was a comfortable fit. The centerpieces and bouquets were more gorgeous then we even imagined and we can’t stop staring at the photos we took. Don’t think twice and book with CBD!

I cannot express how grateful I am to have discovered Cherry Brandy designs for my wedding. My husband and I did not want to spend a lot of money on arrangements and we made that very clear with all our florists that we looked into. The ONLY person who actually listened to our requests and stayed within our budget was JoAnn. She was amazing from the start by helping us utilize our arrangements for other things during our wedding. She had the idea of using the isle flowers for the centerpieces at cocktail hour and our arbor flowers for our sweetheart table. It was the attention to detail and the willingness to with with our budget that we appreciated and ultimately led us to booking with JoAnn.

We utilized Cherry Brandy Designs for our wedding in August, 2025 and we could not recommend them more!! We hired them for both florals and day of coordination and are so grateful we did. Joann was a gift - going above and beyond for us! She has so much experience and we felt fully taken care of every step of the way. Our wedding day vision came together because of her and her team’s help and we could not be more appreciative!

JoAnn was such a pleasure to work with! The flowers were beautiful and guests got to take them home which was so nice. She repurposes our ceremony flowers for the sweetheart table which was so easy and overall was much more affordable than most quotes we got. She worked with us to get our vision and was super receptive to feedback. She also was very professional and I barely noticed that she was there setting up! Would definitely recommend!

JoAnn and her team were able to work absolute magic! They made our vision come to life perfectly and fit everything into a fairly limited budget (at least for the Hudson Valley). They were also so collaborative and took all feedback to heart, tweaking the proposal and mockup centerpiece until everything was absolutely perfect. I was over the moon to see our florals on the day and cannot believe how magical the final result was! JoAnn is also so sweet and flexible - she set me completely at ease from our first email. Cannot recommend them enough!

Absolutely thrilled with the beautiful floral arrangements ! From the moment we first met, they truly listened to our vision and understood the tone we wanted to set for our wedding day. I had a clear idea of what I was looking for, but they elevated it in ways I never imagined.

The flowers were absolutely stunning, with every arrangement perfectly capturing the romantic and whimsical feel we were going for. From the bridal bouquet to the centerpieces, everything was thoughtfully designed and brought our vision to life in the most breathtaking way. The colors, textures, and variety of flowers used were exactly what we had discussed—yet everything felt so fresh and unique.

Not only did they take the time to ensure everything was exactly what we wanted, but they also made sure to offer their professional advice when necessary, providing suggestions that only improved the final result. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of their work.

Our guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous the floral designs were, and they were such an integral part of creating the atmosphere we envisioned. We are so grateful to them for being such a key part of our special day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a florist who is not only talented but truly cares about bringing your wedding vision to life!

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 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!

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!
