If you are getting married in Key West and haven’t booked your florist yet then contact Monica at Duarte ASAP!! You will not regret it! We met with Monika about a year out from our wedding for a consultation and showed her all of our inspo and right from the beginning she was making amazing suggestions for both florals and decor. Over the course of the year she was extremely patient with our many requests/changes/thoughts throughout the process and she was always willing to make any and all adjustments. It was hard at first being from out of town and trying to imagine it all come together, but we trusted the team at Duarte to make our wedding day perfect…and they did just that. When we did our walk through of the space before guests arrived we were absolutely blown away by the detail, the arrangements, the colors and literally everything that the team did for us!! It exceeded our expectations and truly turned out perfect. It made our wedding day something we will never forget! 3 months later and we are still admiring the florals and getting comments from friends and family about just how beautiful it was. So do yourself a favor and book with Duarte ASAP because you and your spouse will not be disappointed!

Monika is a magician! And one of the sweetest humans I have met! While picking up our rehearsal flowers, she made sure to say hi and to make sure I loved everything she put together for that night. My mom was so impressed by the rehearsal flowers and even more so for the ceremony/reception florals. I have to be honest; I did not do my research on what flowers were in season/what is best for the Florida heat – all I gave her was some Pinterest pictures that depicted bright colorful flowers and told her I wanted a hint of blue to match the bridesmaids dresses and she completely knocked it out of the park!! I absolutely loved everything she put together!

Duarte Floral Design creates stunning and unique floral designs, and Monika created absolutely exquisite arrangements for our wedding. We decided we wanted a tropical theme with some softer tones and Monika understood our vision immediately (peach and light pink roses with red gingers).

I showed Monika my veil which had peach flowers on it, and she incorporated the most beautiful pink peonies into my bridal bouquet which complemented my veil perfectly. We also entrusted her with the decorations and she delivered with ceramic and glass vases, beautiful dark brown rattan plate chargers, and medium pink linen napkins. Most of all, we absolutely LOVED the floral arch that she and her team created for us for our ceremony at the Hyatt Centric dock. After the ceremony, our photographer (Bailey Myers of Meandering Media) captured our favorite photo – us under the arch at sunset – so her work will live on forever!

Monika was with us every step of the way. After we scaled back our budget about six months before the wedding, she helped us readjust our order so we could have the flowers of our dreams at our price point. We highly recommend Duarte Floral Design!
