The floral designs created by Desi were stunning! My daughter and her bridal party's bouquets were gorgeous. The floral setting on the beach was breathtaking, and the centerpieces in the ball room were masterful!! I had many many guests who attended the wedding, along with many friends who saw pictures, tell me it was the most artful display of flowers they had ever seen, bar none!! HIGHLY recommend!!!

Desi was awesome. She took our many ideas and turned them into a flower heaven. While it was hard for us to narrow down exactly what we wanted, Desi took every idea we had and ran with it! I loved my boutique. I loved the garland on my long family style tables. But my favorite was the cake table with the floating glass and a ton of flowers underneath. Thank you again Desi for the wonderful flowers.

I had to plan my wedding from Boston, and what really made me choose Desi's Floral & Design was Desi's responsiveness and her ideas expressed in the initial consultation. She was professional and knew exactly how to make my vision come to life. She continued to answer all of my questions / address any of my concerns all the way until the big day. Everyone loved the floral arrangements she did for the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception. She even made an arrangement for our dog who attended the reception. We loved working with her, and would definitely recommend her.

Desi was just fantastic. Her floral and coordination work was everything we could have hoped for and more. I did not think it would be possible, but all of the bouquets and floral arrangements were *exactly* as I had imagined, which was pretty amazing! The beautiful photos of her and Melissa's floral work speak for themselves- what you see on her website, facebook, wedding websites, etc., is exactly the quality you get. We also used her day-of coordination services, however, which I would give 10 stars for if that were possible. Although we only technically did rehearsal and "day of" coordination, Desi went above and beyond in my opinion. We facetimed for two hours when I first started planning and answered all the questions I could think of. She took my (and my parents') Type-A neuroses in stride with patience and humor, which was so appreciated. During the event, she made sure we all appeared at the right place at the right time, in addition to making all of our announcements (we didn't have a DJ), making sure all the right music played on time (we'd set up iPod playlists), corralling all of our vendors (cake, photographer, caterer, musicians), and taking care of a million other details. Once things started rolling, I knew I didn't have to worry about a thing because she had it under control. I'm a pretty DIY type person and at first I wasn't sure we needed a coordinator - but having done it, I can definitely say - we couldn't have done it without her!!

Although I wished I could have afforded more, Desi and Melissa did a wonderful job with the few items I requested for my wedding! My order included just a couple of bouquets, boutonnieres, decorative babies breath and two entrance pieces but after having seen their work, I wish I could have tripled my budget to include so many other pieces! Throughout the planning process I had many silly questions and Desi was kind enough to work through my confusion and help me out when needed. I appreciate her helping me stick to a budget and figuring out a way for me to have the flowers delivered to my venue-it would have been very stressful trying to get someone to pick them up and I appreciate her working with me to ensure the delivery could happen. I sent her a few pictures of the "feel" I was going for and the end result was much more gorgeous than I could have imagined! I remember jumping up and down when my bridesmaids gathered their bouquets yelling, "Oh my god! all the colors are so perfect!" (they looked stunning next to my bridesmaids dresses). I tried to preserve my own bouquet the best I could and even though it's dried and bunched up it still looks beautiful! Melissa was a saint, not only were all the colors and flowers perfect but she delivered the flowers to the venue and placed babies breath inside the lanterns and birdcages we had used for centerpieces and decoration. At one point I had thought about "doing it myself the day of the event" but now that it's all over I am extremely appreciative that she was willing to do that for me. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a fabulous group of flower artists!

I could not have pulled off my wedding without the help of Desi! She is incredible and my flowers were more than I could have ever imagined!! I planned my wedding in 34 days and she worked with me every step of the way while also providing me with connections to various other vendors I would have not known about without her help! My guests were overjoyed with the location and flowers and I received numerous comments from my family and friends about the unique and beautiful venue and flowers! Thank you so much Desi for all you have done to make my wedding a dream for me and my husband!

Desi is amazing! Our flowers were perfect, just what I wanted. Many florists refused to do sunflowers due to their delicate nature, but Desi accepted the challenge and our bouquets kept up perfectly the entire day. She responds quickly to emails and definitly had the best prices for what we were looking for. If you don't pick Desi, you are missing out.

Desi and Melissa did an absolutely amazing job! Desi was super easy to work with and very responsive. She really listened to what I wanted and understood what was important to me. She even helped me to put my unformed ideas into words. She was flexible very easy to work with. The end product was amazing. Her work exceeded my every expectation!

I called Desi probably three weeks before my wedding and she spent an hour on the phone with me, establishing the look I was going for. She followed me on Pinterest and went over all of the floral pins I had pinned to my wedding board. She created a very detailed estimate for me and although I couldn't afford everything (I really wish I could have), she designed the corsages and boutonnieres for our families. I was so relieved she was able to help us so last minute. Needless to say, the corsages and boutonnieres turned out beautifully!
