Amazing! 10/10

We got married in the FL Keys in October. Darenda was AMAZING. The flowers were the thing I was most excited for and she exceeded all of my expectations. Every arrangement was perfect and so beautiful. She made me a beautiful flower arch that I wish I could have kept forever. I would recommend her services 10/10!!

Vibrant and Beautiful

I had no clue what to do for my flowers. I showed Darenda my bridesmaid dress color and she gave me a few options to choose from. The flowers enhanced the beautiful backdrop of the beach wedding at Dream Bay Resort. I was OBSESSED with them and how fabulous they were! Highly recommend them for your wedding!

Darenda made my floral dreams come to life

Dareneda truly made my flower vision come to life for our wedding. I didn't have a set type of flower that I wanted, but with our wedding being in Key Largo I wanted to bring out the simplicity and nature of the area. I wanted a lot of greenery to make my dress really pop mixed with a white flower and what she was able to create was everything I had imagined. I wanted my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquet to be simple and small and to not be overpowering and they all turned out gorgeous.

Dareneda was also a delight to work with and was able to adjust with anything we needed. Highly recommend her and her business, she will make your floral dreams come true!!

Amazing, friendly and a happy experiance.

Darenda was recommended by my wedding planner and I am so glad she was. Having an out of state wedding, all of my floral planning took place over the phone and through email. I sent Darenda specific pictures of the exact florals I wanted. Not being able to see her gorgeous creations, my wedding day was the first day I saw anything. WOW!!!! Darenda showed up with my gorgeous florals with a huge smile. You can tell she’s just so happy in what she does. All of my flower pieces were even better than imagined!! I can’t describe the beauty of how perfect my floral arrangements were. STUNNING. I have received so many compliments on my florals. They add so much to my pictures as well. The colors are so vibrant and the quality of them being put together is amazing. You can tell Darenda worked hard. Four days after my wedding and traveling from out of state my wedding bouquet is still perfect!! Thank you. You are truly talented.

Incredible

Since this was a destination wedding, I didn't have the opportunity to review or sample anything in advance. All Darenda had was my inspo images. The final product was an absolute Pinterest Dream. The flowers, the decor, all of it was absolutely incredible - and at a very fair price. Hire Darenda. She is AMAZING. Also - LOVED THE LITTLE PINEAPPLES !!!

Exceptional Florist!

I got married at Key Largo Lighthouse Beach Weddings as a destination wedding since we live over 1,200 miles away and therefore had to plan long distance. Darenda was wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. She delivered way beyond our expectations. The flowers and arrangements were more beautiful than we ever imagined. We received tons of compliments from guests on how beautiful everything was. It was very hot and the flowers held up to the heat and beyond. Would highly recommend working with Darenda!

Hit it Out of the Park

When we booked our venue at the Marriott Key Largo, I knew I wanted Darenda to be my florist. After talking about our venue, vision, and colors with her, she gave us an idea for what our arrangements would look like for the ceremony and reception. I was hesitant to move forward because we weren't able to see a mock-up, but I had full faith in her after viewing her other weddings on websites and social media. Let me tell you she hit it out of the park and her designs exceeded all of my expectations! The floral for our wedding was stunning and even the other vendors and our venue commented on how stunning of a job she had done. I would book her again without a doubt and cannot recommend her more!

Most beautiful flowers

My bouquet was everything I hoped for and more. All the flowers for the wedding were absolutely beautiful. She listened to what I wanted had a great idea for center pieces for the tables and we had the elegant beach wedding I was wishing for. She made this stressful time so easy.

Last Minute Details

Since we had a destination wedding, we weren't planning on having floral arrangements (my mother made bouquets for the girls and myself) We got in touch with Darenda for some last minute palm leaves as table decor and corsages for our parents, she responded quickly and was very affordable! Highly recommend for your floral needs!
