Dark and Diamond were excellent

Katie and Michael were so great to work with. They were extremely easy to communicate with, and understood what we were interested in based on our limited knowledge of floral design. They gave our vision life and personality that was even better than we could have imagined.

They were especially helpful in explaining our options for how we could use flowers in the various spaces, and also helped us to think about how we could repurpose some following our ceremony. This was great as we had a small wedding and still wanted to fill our venue.

The flowers were beautiful and the experience was stress free. Wonderful all around!

Blown away by Dark and Diamond!

Katie and the D&D team blew us away as our wedding florist! The planning process was really collaborative and fun, and D&D was able to take our vague vision and bring it to stunning life. Everything from the ceremony setting, centerpieces, bar pieces, my bouquet, last-minute requests - we were so impressed and moved by how beautiful everything came out. The smallest details were thoughtful and interesting. We had so many guests approach us during and after the wedding to talk about our flowers, from the subtle nuances to the large-scale, big-impact pieces. Katie and team came to us with really great ideas, and then executed flawlessly across our entire wedding weekend.

She was so lovely to work with from beginning to end and has an elevated sense of style that goes beyond flowers for a wedding.

Katie and her teams level of professionalism was on a holy other level and my husband and I loved working with them. She articulated our wild ideas for table scapes that we wouldn't have been able to pull off without her. I highly recommend working with Katie and her team during any season.

Summer Solstice Wedding Flowers!

Katie and her team did an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding. She’s a total professional, and if you let her do her thing she will make flower magic! I wanted colorful wildflower summer solstice vibes for our wedding and Katie’s mood board had me excited but I can’t say I was prepared for how gorgeous everything turned out. As the bridal party and I were all getting ready I had to take a quick trip outside to the reception tent to peek at the flowers and they were just SO good. One of my favorite things we did was ask Katie and her team to move the ceremony arch after the ceremony and group photos so that we could repurpose it as our photobooth backdrop. Katie was super responsive even as we made some changes in the weeks leading up to the wedding. And she made the best flower collars for my dogs 😍 The photos speak for themselves!

Hire Katie and Michael immediately!!

I cannot recommend Dark & Diamond highly enough. Katie and Michael are an incredible team. They took my very high level ideas/visions and executed them beyond expectation. From the beginning, Katie was so diligent and deliberate in understanding my vision, asking really thoughtful questions along the way. Leading up to the wedding, Katie and Michael were very intentional in ensuring that the floral design lined up with the rest of the tables/design. On the day of the wedding, my jaw consistently dropped when I saw the incredible work that they did. In the six months since our wedding, I have received countless compliments about the flowers at our wedding, including from my cousin's husband, who is a florist in India and was in awe of Katie and Michael's work. I would hire Dark & Diamond again in a heartbeat!

Flawless, professional, artists, exceeded expectations

We cannot say enough good things about Katie and Michael. They completely brought our vision to life, were an absolute pleasure to work with and executed a very large installation with many details. Katie and Michael were detail-oriented and very experienced. They are true artists. They made the space come alive. No detail was spared. The flowers and design for the wedding exceeded our wildest expectations. We loved everything they did from start to finish. It was beyond our wildest fantasies, literal magic and we couldn't stop looking around all night. For any event, Dark+Diamond is the go-to. We cannot wait to work with them again.

Stunning Florals!

I can't say enough positive things about Katie and her team. As the bride, the wedding day was a complete blur and I only had moments to admire how efficiently Katie and her team executed the most stunning florals for our day. I had a pretty specific vision and I was unsure if I had communicated it properly; but on the day, I felt like Katie intuited my dreams and improved upon them - the florals were absolutely stunning and just what I had hoped for! We got many compliments on them and specifically our dance floor arrangement of garlands. I was told numerous times it was the best wedding a guest had ever attended, in no small part thanks to the seamless execution of my vision by professionals like Katie and her team. THANK YOU.

Amazing floral design!

Katie is an exceptional artist, and a joy to work with! We ordered a bouquet and 4 boutonnières for our wedding in Windham, NY in June 2023, and even though it was a small order in peak wedding season, she took immense care in working with us, and even hand delivered the flowers herself.

My dress had a floral print, and Katie worked with me to identify and source flowers that matched the dress. I’m so grateful for her and her work! I highly recommend you work with her!

There are no words!

I actually have no words to describe the genius that is Katie + Michael. They are incredibly talented humans with hearts of gold and a beautiful and fun child that is the kindest! My now husband and I "joked" that they were our best vendor, but we know there an be a little truth in jest. Seriously, Katie + Michael were a dream to work with and knew exactly how to execute the vision we had. They created a magical experience for the most important day of our lives and we will be forever grateful!

Their work speaks for themselves!!

I knew I loved D&D from the first Instagram post I saw but what I couldn’t imagine is that Katie could pull together what I was picturing in my mind and couldn’t verbalize properly! Flowers were a very important part of our decor and as a non-traditional bride I wanted to work with a creative, inspiring and unique florist. Katie (& Michael) are all of those things as well as professional, knowledgeable and super easy to work with!
