I had no clue what to do for my flowers. I showed Darenda my bridesmaid dress color and she gave me a few options to choose from. The flowers enhanced the beautiful backdrop of the beach wedding at Dream Bay Resort. I was OBSESSED with them and how fabulous they were! Highly recommend them for your wedding! -

Darenda made my floral dreams come to life
Dareneda truly made my flower vision come to life for our wedding. I didn't have a set type of flower that I wanted, but with our wedding being in Key Largo I wanted to bring out the simplicity and nature of the area. I wanted a lot of greenery to make my dress really pop mixed with a white flower and what she was able to create was everything I had imagined. I wanted my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquet to be simple and small and to not be overpowering and they all turned out gorgeous.
Dareneda was also a delight to work with and was able to adjust with anything we needed. Highly recommend her and her business, she will make your floral dreams come true!! -

Amazing, friendly and a happy experiance.
Darenda was recommended by my wedding planner and I am so glad she was. Having an out of state wedding, all of my floral planning took place over the phone and through email. I sent Darenda specific pictures of the exact florals I wanted. Not being able to see her gorgeous creations, my wedding day was the first day I saw anything. WOW!!!! Darenda showed up with my gorgeous florals with a huge smile. You can tell she’s just so happy in what she does. All of my flower pieces were even better than imagined!! I can’t describe the beauty of how perfect my floral arrangements were. STUNNING. I have received so many compliments on my florals. They add so much to my pictures as well. The colors are so vibrant and the quality of them being put together is amazing. You can tell Darenda worked hard. Four days after my wedding and traveling from out of state my wedding bouquet is still perfect!! Thank you. You are truly talented. -

Since this was a destination wedding, I didn't have the opportunity to review or sample anything in advance. All Darenda had was my inspo images. The final product was an absolute Pinterest Dream. The flowers, the decor, all of it was absolutely incredible - and at a very fair price. Hire Darenda. She is AMAZING. Also - LOVED THE LITTLE PINEAPPLES !!! -

Exceptional Florist!
I got married at Key Largo Lighthouse Beach Weddings as a destination wedding since we live over 1,200 miles away and therefore had to plan long distance. Darenda was wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. She delivered way beyond our expectations. The flowers and arrangements were more beautiful than we ever imagined. We received tons of compliments from guests on how beautiful everything was. It was very hot and the flowers held up to the heat and beyond. Would highly recommend working with Darenda! -

Julie Sent on 11/07/2019Hit it Out of the Park
When we booked our venue at the Marriott Key Largo, I knew I wanted Darenda to be my florist. After talking about our venue, vision, and colors with her, she gave us an idea for what our arrangements would look like for the ceremony and reception. I was hesitant to move forward because we weren't able to see a mock-up, but I had full faith in her after viewing her other weddings on websites and social media. Let me tell you she hit it out of the park and her designs exceeded all of my expectations! The floral for our wedding was stunning and even the other vendors and our venue commented on how stunning of a job she had done. I would book her again without a doubt and cannot recommend her more! -

Lauren Sent on 05/26/2019Last Minute Details
Since we had a destination wedding, we weren't planning on having floral arrangements (my mother made bouquets for the girls and myself) We got in touch with Darenda for some last minute palm leaves as table decor and corsages for our parents, she responded quickly and was very affordable! Highly recommend for your floral needs! -

Christina Sent on 04/15/2019Absolutely amazing!
I wish I could of time capsuled my bouquet- I loved it so much!! Darenda was wonderful to work with during our wedding planning. I had some different ideas for my bouquet and the guys flowers and Darenda and her team DELIVERED!!! I actually ended up planting my succulents so I will have forever and dried out my flowers also. She incorporated my grandmom's glove and my moms handkerchief to the base of my flowers. (my mom cried!!) I did not want to take it a part. She was super sweet to work with and very responsive. Thank you so so much again Darenda!!!Designs By Darenda's reply:

Tracy Sent on 01/08/2019Flawless execution!!
From the first time I spoke with Darenda, I knew she understood my vision. You never know until the day comes, however, what to expect. Well, have no fear....Darenda NAILED it. I had a picture in my mind, and somehow she pulled it directly from my brain and said it with flowers. Everything was perfection!!
She is also a super kind person. When I asked if she could incorporate buttons from the gloves my grandmother wore on her wedding day, she couldn't be more excited. I was simply blown away by what she did for my special day. -

Ellen S. Sent on 01/05/2019Absolutely stunning floral arrangements!
Darenda is amazing! Flowers were something I was picky about, and I had been critical of other arrangements I had seen at other weddings. Darenda's designs were unique, high quality, and each a true masterpiece. She really helped in meetings, walking us through each arrangement and helping my vision come to life. She also delivers everything and sets it up the day of, so you don't have to worry about anything. Many guests told us they were the best floral arrangements they had ever seen, and I agree! -

My bouquet was everything I hoped for and more. All the flowers for the wedding were absolutely beautiful. She listened to what I wanted had a great idea for center pieces for the tables and we had the elegant beach wedding I was wishing for. She made this stressful time so easy. -

Staci Sent on 11/04/2018Gorgeous florals!
I cannot recommend Designs by Darenda enough. Seriously. The florals for our wedding were 100% my favorite part of it. It brought everything together. Doing a destination wedding in Key Largo from Texas was difficult because I had to find all the vendors basically online and when it comes to florals-I know NOTHING. When I found Designs by Darenda, she responded to me quickly and we even had a few phone calls where she answered all of my questions and helped to pick the florals when it came to the style I was wanting-a tropical boho feel. They day of the wedding, Darenda showed up with the florals and I was instantly taken aback by how GORGEOUS everything was. And I mean it. Everything was perfection and I even made my parents drive home with my bride's bouquet and a bridesmaid bouquet because I loved them so much! -

Julie Sent on 06/17/2018Darenda was excellent. She answered all my queststions about flowers and bouquets and what she could get. I had reached out to a few other places since this was a destination wedding in Key Largo and I was worried about the travel time Homestead to Key Largo and the few I had reach out to were the BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME. Darenda explained everything to me since I wasn’t able to come in for a “formal” consultation. The delivery guy was so super nice and really funny and I couldn’t of asked for better flowers or service. -

Diane Sent on 04/15/2018Having been in the wedding floral business for many years, I have to give a 5 star review to Darenda for doing a fabulous job for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding April 6th at the Cooper Estate. My daughter in law had a very specific idea of what she wanted her centerpieces to look like along with the colors and flowers of her bouquet. Being from out of town, we met with Darenda once before she went on maternity leave and she got everything exactly as the bride had described. The books and props were supplied by us, but she got to the venue early and set the tables and I just can't compliment her enough on how beautiful everything looked. Thank you Darenda, for making this day so very special to us and the bride and groom. Everyone had said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to and a lot of that is due to the wonderful job you did. I would highly recommend your services.

Janelle Sent on 04/13/2018Darenda came highly recommended to me by the venue I got married at. After seeing pictures of her work, I fell in love! Darenda is super easy to work with and very accommodating. I sent her pictures of what I wanted things to look like and gave her a budget and she delivered perfectly! In fact, she more than exceeded my expectations. My mother (who can be a loveable pain in the butt) was very impressed. Honestly, the flowers from Darenda were my favorite part of my wedding, aesthetically speaking. I especially loved my flower crown, which was GORGEOUS! I would recommend Darenda to anyone in a heartbeat. She's amazing!

Nicole Sent on 03/26/2018Darenda is simply the best! My mom and I met with her when we began planning my wedding and showed her a few pictures of what we had in mind and Darenda knew exactly the style I was going for from the very beginning and helped us reach that vision within our budget. We had a few changes as the date approached and a Darenda was able to accommodate us with no problem at all. When our wedding day arrived, I was completely amazed by her beautiful work. My bouquet was exactly what I imagined and the table decor was absolutely stunning. We received so many compliments from our guests! Darenda truly made my vision a reality.

Frances Sent on 04/20/2017HANDS DOWN, THE BEST FLORIST EVER! I was born and raised in Homestead and I have been following and admiring Darenda's work for years. I always told my mom that if and when I got married, I insist that Darenda be my florist. When my husband and I got engaged last year, my mom and I didn't even think about hiring anyone else and we made an appointment to meet with Darenda. She is sweet, professional, creative and so easy to work with. I simply showed her a couple pictures of what I had envisioned my wedding flowers to look like and Darenda brought it to life. She is beyond talented! My husband and I got married at the Cooper Estate and an hour or two before the wedding, my mom and I walked over to the reception barn to take a look. I swear my jaw dropped and I walked around with the biggest smile on my face because my flowers were even more beautiful than I had imagined. My wedding was an absolute fairytale thanks to Darenda's beautiful work. -

Carin Sent on 10/31/2016I'm absolutely speechless with the work from Darenda. My flowers were flawless! Darenda followed my Pinterest account and minded my budget from our first initial meeting until the wedding day. Oh how I wish I could post photos of the gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces! Darenda will make sure that the theme and colors of your floral pull the look of your event together. I've used her company many times before. Darenda is easy and fun to work with, and always provides beautiful blooms - I highly recommend her for weddings, and any event!
