Rhea was absolutely amazing and so very kind! She was so organized and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. She made my floral vision come to life. My guests at my wedding couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the flowers were! I highly recommend Photosynthesis Florals!

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)

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.

Rhea truly made my flower dreams come true!! She was incredibly flexible (as I continually changed my vision), and professional during the entire planning process. Her creativity is unparalleled, and we can’t thank her enough for helping to make our day so special!

Rhea and her team are the most creative and innovative artists. Our vision and other details of the day changed so much over the planning process, and Rhea was so kind, flexible, thoughtful, patient, and fun to work with. I am still speechless over how beautiful our wedding was thanks to the Photosynthesis team-- I really couldn't have imagined a more beautiful day. I can't thank this team enough for everything-- we will always be so thankful!

We were so happy to have worked with Photosynthesis and Rhea for our September wedding. First of all, Rhea was so easy to work with - she has a very calming, warm demeanor, and was extremely communicative. We started with a one-on-one meeting and discussion so she could determine our needs and vision, then she sent a mockup/mood board of what would be in season and work in the space. The florals and greenery were a key part of the vision for our venue (the Branch Museum of Architecture and Design), and Rhea did absolutely stunning work. We were already in love with our venue, but the addition of all the gorgeous seasonal blooms and lush greenery just put it over the top for us. Of course, she also made the personal arrangements - boutonnieres, corsages, bouquets, and wreath for our dog. They all came out so lovely - I absolutely loved my bouquet - it was exactly what I had envision and described to her. Rhea was also kind enough to allow us to come by her studio after the wedding to pick up our leftover flowers - being able to enjoy them at home (and press some for keepsakes) was so special.

It is also very important to note that we originally had our wedding scheduled for April 2020, but had to reschedule due to COVID. Rhea was so understanding and flexible with rescheduling - she helped make a nightmare scenario much easier on us, and we are so grateful that we had such an awesome group of vendors!

Rhea is incredibly talented! I was obsessed with how the florals turned out for our wedding. Still waiting on photos from our photographer so will post those on a later date, but everyone raved about how beautiful all of the flowers were. It really made the night spectacular. I knew I wanted to incorporate orchids but gave rhea creative control and so glad I did, the overall floral design turned our better than I could have dreamed it. On top of how beautiful everything was, Rhea was a joy to work with! She was extremely flexible especially given the constant changes 2020 threw at us. She even added an entry piece to the order the week of, which ended up being one of my favorite parts as it was so gorgeous. I can not thank Rhea enough! Photosynthesis was my dream florist and she made my dreams a reality! Book her for your wedding, you will not regret it.

Rhea's flowers for my wedding in the Cathedral and the Jefferson hotel were amazing. I wanted really colorful wedding flowers in deep fall colors, and low arrangements at tables (so people could see across them!) but otherwise know absolutely nothing about flowers, and Rhea executed my vision perfectly. I was planning my wedding from New York so it was difficult to meet with vendors before hiring them, and I can attest that Photosynthesis is a great choice. Closer to the wedding when I was in Richmond, my mom and I met with Rhea at her studio and she spent a lot of time figuring out what kind of flowers and colors I was drawn to. The other thing I appreciated is that, having never planned a wedding, I had no idea how to budget for flowers, and I felt a lot of other florists I talked to were very opaque about how much gets you what. I felt Rhea was very upfront about what you could get for different budgets, and her proposal included a few different scenarios and their associated cost. Highly, highly recommended.

If you want your dream wedding flowers to come to life, Rhea is your girl! Rhea was originally recommended to me by my hairstylist and I'm SO glad I listened to her recommendation because Rhea is a dream to work with. She sat me down for a very detailed consultation and what resulted were the most absolutely brilliant bouquets and boutonnieres I could have asked for. My bouquet is now pressed and framed so I can forever enjoy the beautiful arrangement! Overall, I seriously cannot recommend Rhea and Photosynthesis Floral Design enough!

I am still blown away by the incredible floral design Rhea did for our wedding! Our church venue was not the most visually appealing to start with, but Rhea and her team completely transformed it with some of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen. When we first met with Rhea, I didn't have much of a vision for my wedding flowers beyond the color palette. After seeing photos of her previous work, I knew I completely trusted her to do her thing and create floral arrangements we would love. The photos speak for themselves — the flowers were truly a work of art and we are still getting compliments on them! We can't thank Rhea and Photosynthesis enough for making our day so beautiful.
