Brought our fantasies into a reality

My wife and I loved working with Rhea. We first met her in her Scott's Addition studio and loved getting to see the behind the scenes of it all. We talked about vision, reusing florals, vases, and the general concept of it all. When we received her proposal, we needed to cut it down for budgeting she sent us a new proposal. She showed us the actual vase styles that would be used and fully understood our concepts. It was a great experience working with her and the wedding was perfectly beautiful. One little highlight of our wedding was that my wife and I both love classic murder mysteries and so one of our wedding flowers was digitalis (fox glove). It was just one of the many tiny details Photosynthesis helped us with. From our chuppah to helping us incorporate all four elements into our ceremony and reception decor, Rhea helped make it all come true! (All attached photos are taken by 3 Cats Photo)

Secret Garden in the City!

Rhea and her team made my vision come to life! She is an artist! We collaborated on all aspects of the design and it came out beautifully. It was important to use locally grown flowers that were in season. The courtyard where our wedding took place had a fountain that we decorated with trailing vines. Our table arrangements were modern and romantic. The flowers were a key component that brought everything else together. I plan to use Photosynthesis Florals at every opportunity in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Rhea briefly on a styled shoot and was honored to be a part of her art. Her florals are stunning, carefully crafted masterpieces that fully capture the raw beauty of nature married with the organization and structure of a true floral arrangement. Highly recommend her and her work!
