Gorgeous flowers!

Dawn and her daughter do amazing work! She put together a gorgeous bridal bouquet for me and an awesome boutonnière for my partner. Dawn was so supportive and helpful during the planning process, during which I changed my whole flower concept and she was understanding and excited to do so. In addition, we rescheduled our large reception for a micro wedding and Dawn did not hesitate to assist with that. I cannot wait to see their work at our wedding reception in the fall!

Amazing flowers!

I cannot say enough good things about Dawn and Mandy. They are SO SO incredibly talented and such a pleasure to work with. I had so many changes of heart with my color palette and was worried I would complicate things with my indecisiveness, but they did not make me feel that way at all. They always responded so kindly and implemented the changes I hoped for. They were also so understanding of budget and provided vases for the bouquets that I re-purposed for my table decor.

Another amazing thing - even though we were already at the end of Dahlia season, they tried their best to secure some and surprised me with gorgeous pink Dahlias - the last of the season!! The flowers themselves - STUNNING. My friend who is also a florist said they were some of the best arrangements she's seen. And they were GENEROUS with the flowers. My bouquet was heavy! Even the bridesmaids bouquets were of the same quality, if not better, than many bride's bouquets I have seen. Genuinely!

I love seeing all the beautiful arrangements on their instagram page. Can't recommend them enough for all your floral needs :].

Delightful wedding florals

I absolutely loved working with Dawn and Mandy on my wedding flowers. Months later, I'm still getting compliments on how stunning they were. They really listened to my vision, were so happy to work within my budget, and gave me great advice. On top of that, they are artists! Truly the most beautiful arrangements I've ever seen anywhere -- I honestly have tears in my eyes just thinking about how they brought so much color, life, and joy to my wedding day.

Best florist for my bridal shower

I talked to Dawn at least 6 months before my bridal shower where I shared my vision and color inspiration. She worked with me to figure out how many arrangements I needed for my layout. She was so easy to talk to, discuss my ideas with, and she gave her professional feedback which I really valued. When the day of my bridal shower came, I saw the floral arrangements and I was speechless! They were SO gorgeous, bright, radiating spring - which is exactly how I wanted. I will share some pictures so you can see how amazing the florals looked and how well they matched the rest of my decor. I highly recommend the nature of things for your floral needs!

Organic Flower Masterworks

Dawn and Mandy instantly made my daughter and I feel comfortable as we collaborated with them on her vision of her perfect flowers. Mandy was so professional with her email communication and completion of work. The quote was fair, they worked with our budget and they are so honest and kind. Their floral arrangements were like organic works of art. I continued to enjoy the wedding flowers for days after and could appreciate just how beautiful the design, colors, and blooms worked together to create flower masterworks! Dawn and Many are true blue. I will order flowers from them for other special occasions every time!

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Dawn and Mandy, The Nature of Things Mother-Daughter Team, went above-and-beyong to ensure out wedding arrangements were beautiful and perfect. I was worried going with a Japanese inspired Ikebana style, but I must say they hit all the marks. Simply amazing! Thank you for making our day so special and unique. -Devin and Natalia

Nature of things knocked the floral display out of the park.

The Nature of Things by far exceed my ideas and expectations. The artful, playful and exquisite design was breathtaking. The attention to detail was not only stunning but many of our quests explained that our wedding floral design was the best they have ever see. My husband and I were full of joy. By far, they are simply the BEST..!

It was truly a pleasure to work with Dawn to select our wedding flowers. To say that I was impressed with the beautiful arrangements she presented on the day of our wedding is an understatement. They were exactly what I wanted and Dawn understood our vision. Our wedding was a back yard event in 105 heat and the flowers held up and still look amazing 2 days later. I will always come to Nature of Things and Dawn to get my arrangements from now on..... Once I get table pictures I most certainly will share.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
