    Absolutely stunning!

    After entertaining other florists, we couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Uche! She is incredibly creative, organized, and professional. The final outcome of our event couldn't be any better if we dreamed it!

    Designs by Oochay - Would Give 10 Stars if I Could!

    It's hard to do anything but reiterate all of the positive things that have already been said below about Uche and her team - Uche is incredibly creative, a consumate professional, and moreover just an all around awesome human being to work with. From the beginning, she was super responsive and took the time to help me figure out the look for my wedding (I wasn't starting from much - just knew I wanted a "secret garden" type feel). In our first conversation alone I knew she had a vision, and told her to go with it. The execution was so far above and beyond our expectations that words can describe it (I will upload more pictures when I have them!) I loved and really appreciated the thoughtful proposal Uche put together (and changed several times at my annoying requests), but I really couldn't have imagined how beautiful everything would be the day of.

    We got married at District Winery, and Uche and her team took FULL advantage of the blank canvas-esque space, complete with hanging greenery installations and the most beautiful altar piece I've ever seen. My bouquet was also gorgeous - as were my bridesmaids', and even the boutonnieres were amazing! I honestly had friends coming up to me telling me they loved the florals even more than what they had at their own weddings! Not only was the end result day-of perfect, but I know that Uche and her team worked tirelessly to get it done. When we had our rehearsal at the venue the afternoon before, they were there getting a head start (what other wedding vendor would do that!?)

    I could go on forever about how incredible Uche is (like the fact that she hosted my mom and I at her studio for over an hour to patiently talk through details, even as she was prepping for a big wedding the next day), but the bottom line is that if you want top notch creativity and professionalism all in one, you can't go wrong with Designs by Oochay. One final thing - a friend/guest of ours happened to be a former client of Uche's, and Uche made a specific point to find her at the end of the evening to say hello and give her a hug (which my friend was super excited about), even though it was after midnight and she was trying to disassemble everything - which I thought truly showed how warm and gracious she is, as well as how much her former clients love her!

    Great collaboration

    Uche was totally worth the investment. Her florals and decor made my wedding day the picturesque space I had envisioned.

    Exactly what we hoped for! Thank you!

    I loved working with Uche! My mom came with my to my first consultation with her, and we both instantly fell in love with her enthusiasm and positivity. She instantly understood the concept and the look I was going for with my wedding flowers, and wow, she delivered on the wedding day! We received many compliments on the arrangements and bouquets, and I felt like it truly completed my husband's and my wedding day. They were elegant yet natural, exactly what I hoped! Thank you for everything, Uche!!

    Wonderful florist!

    Uche is very professional, organized, and responsive. We contacted her throughout the process and felt like she was with us every step of the way. She created a gorgeous chuppah for our Jewish wedding and was able to repurpose the flowers for our king table at the reception. We really appreciated that she met with us and our wedding venue coordinator a month before the wedding- she helped ID different things we hadn't even thought about! We had some disappointment with the flower type variety/deep color but after speaking with her we realized that this hot summer was just not great for creating the types of flowers we expected (dahlias). We recommend you keep your vision wide and open-minded so that you don't expect something in particular. Also, save your original signed proposal so that you can reference it later. Uche and her team were prompt in their delivery and even delivered the flowers to two locations. She set up the flowers so beautifully on our cake!

    Uche was absolutely incredible!! I only had a few photos in mind from pinterest to start, and she took this to the next level. Not only did she stretch my budget, but she went above and beyond making our day come to life. Center pieces were stunning, and the bouquets were GORGEOUS!! I would highly recommend using her!

    Uche was by far easiest and sweetest vendor to work with! She worked within our budget and created a beautiful atmosphere at our wedding reception. I didn't feel pressured into what i didn't want or feeling like I needed to spend more as some of the other vendors made me feel. As a stressed bride, she more than a Godsend! Would and certainly will recommend DBO

    I cannot say enough how amazing it was to work with Uche. From the time we met, at the initial consultation, she was immediately in tuned with my vision for our wedding day. From putting together a vision board, to obtaining and signing contracts, making payments, down to the set up and execution of the wedding day, everything was seamless. I was completely blown away when I walked in to the ceremony and reception spaces. Uche and her team completely exceeded our expectations.

    Uche is amazing! Stop looking here for a florist and hire her..... Full Disclosure - I am totally a cheapo - I was NOT interested in spending a lot of money on flowers. Uche was SO NICE and SO FRIENDLY and was totally accepting about working with my budget. She came to a venue visit to meet with me and was awesome at creating a vision for the wedding. She picked all the right flowers and everything came through on time. It was wonderful. Uche is tops!

    Uche did a great job with the florals for our wedding! I gave her a general color scheme and theme for the bouquets and center pieces and let her do the rest. The outcome was beautiful and captured the feel that I was hoping for! She even added special touches that brought the space to life even more! Even better, Uche worked within our budget to make it all happen. I highly recommend Designs by Oochay!

    There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful our flowers looked on our wedding day! Uche was so easy to work with and really respected our budget (which can be hard to find!) We trusted her completely and didn't even provide many specifics for flowers that we wanted. She used her obvious talent and creativity and delivered flowers that were beautiful and exactly in our taste and style! Everything from the bouquets to ceremony decorations to centerpieces were flawless. We couldn't have been happier!

    Hmmm... where do I start with Uche. Meeting her was like meeting a kindred spirit. I had a vision and she took it and made it a dream. She was always a call, text or email away. No matter how late in the evening. Uche is the most creative, flexible and giving vendor I had the pleasure of working with for my wedding day. She kept calm in difficult situations, was very resourceful and professional. Her work is remarkable. She works hard and smart.
    There are vendors that do whatever they want to do even after telling them what you don't want. There are vendors who are one dimensional and cannot think outside the box. Uche is not like that. She puts you the bride/celebrant first and advocates for your vision (Which is very important when you are busy wearing a poofy white dress ??).
    I will choose her a hundred times over. After working with her, I feel like I gained a sister-friend. You won't regret using DBO. EVER!!!

    My hubby and I were both honestly just speechless! Uche is amazing- her work and her as a person. When I say that she made all my dreams come true on our wedding day, it’s an understatement. She blew our minds to Jupiter and then Mars. We thank Uche so much, she literally made our whole wedding. When I began my walk down the aisle I just couldn’t believe my eyes looking at the ceremony site – JUST GORGEOUS! I was again blown away at the reception area (as Uche had some surprises up her sleeve) I also had to fight my own mother over my bouquet because it was so beautiful she wanted to keep it for herself! Also very important she worked extensively with me to tweak our budget to get the most out of it and in the end I just left everything to her because she works hard to understand exactly what your vision for your day is. Everyone keeps asking us who did our wedding décor because they had never seen anything like it, even the coordinators at our venue raved about her work. I almost forgot to add that we didn't have a planner and Uche also helped/advised me in areas she didn't need to just to make things go more smoothly for us on our day. We HIGHLY recommend Uche, she will not disappoint you in anyway. We know for sure that God will bless this business and it will flourish beyond your wildest dreams. We love you Uche and thank you so much once again, we can never forget you and your work!

    Uche did a phenomenal job with our wedding flowers! She created such fabulous bouquets for me and my bridal party, with beautiful centerpieces, and decor for the cake table, etc. She really brought my vision to life. The flowers were so romantic and organic, they matched my color scheme perfectly, and were more than I was hoping for. She did a fantastic job of incorporating thistle, which was particularly sentimental to me and my husband. I had multiple last minute changes and Uche was so accommodating, flexible, and willing to work with us to make everything come together. We are so glad we hired Uche and would highly recommend her and her team!

    Uche of Designs by Oochay was amazing. We had been told by several florists this past summer "we can't do those types of colors for a summer wedding". But not Uche; she right away knew what to do. And the colors were PERFECT. She really knows her stuff. The bouquets were absolutely GORGEOUS. We lucked out with her and everyone else should too! She also dealt very well with all our last-minute emails with changes we wanted. We did wish she had stayed at the venue a bit longer after she dropped our flowers off, as we had some ongoing questions on the packaging (we figured it out!) But throughout the craziness of our wedding morning, Uche was perfect; the flowers were perfect and all the amounts of every bouquet and corsage were perfect.

    There are no words to express of happy I was with everything Uche and her team came up with.. She was able to capture my vision better than I could!

    Can I give Designs by Oochay 10 stars! If I could I would. Aside from marrying my husband the best part of my wedding was the flowers and décor. From day one Uche helped my vision come to life, she is very professional and worked within our budget. She helped me decide which flowers would go best for what I was looking for and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. My bouquet was simple and elegant exactly what I wanted. For our first look at the reception hall I almost cried it was so beautiful. Every little detail was executed to perfection. The color scheme, the lights and centerpieces were absolute breathtaking. Everyone was blown away at how gorgeous the décor was. I will recommend Designs by Oochay to everyone I know. Thanks again for making my day nothing short of a dream.

    Uche is awesome! She took all of our ideas and executed them beautifully. From our first conversation to our meetings with caterer and other vendors, Uche always made sure the vision and theme for our wedding was intact. She did amazing things with our budget and people are still talking about how gorgeous the wedding was. If you're looking for a florist or event designer, we would definitely recommend. She's is passionate about her work and it really shows!

    Oche met with us and within a few minutes captured my vision for my decor. She then made some cost effective changes to help us stay within our budget. Can I say.....WOW, she and her team made it look like we spent a Million bucks! The room had been transformed into an elegant, classy and sassy venue. Awwwwwwwwwww was the common comment when guests walked in the room. Thanks Oochay Designs, I understand some attendees have contacted you and have already hired you for their future events! The best to you. Thank you so much! #blakepartyof2.

    Oochay was AMAZING!!!!! I absolutely loved my flower back drop which was used at both my ceremony and reception. My guests were so amazed they we literally lining up to take pictures in front of the flower wall. it was just breath taking. i could not waste that beauty so i was able to save a few of the flowers which are now hanging over my bed. So I have a daily reminder of how beautiful my special day was thanks to the Amazing Oochay!!!! Will definitely recommend her and absolutely use her services again in the future.

    I can never say well enough about Uche! Her services are excellent, timely and just on point. She satisfied our every need and exceeded our expectations. She was always composed and calm all the way. Always ready and available to us all through the event. We threw a ton of extra "details" her way at the last minute and she just rolled with it and executed everything perfectly. She is incredibly organized, professional and has all it takes to take the load off your back and give you a smooth ride all through your event. I will recommend her anytime and anywhere.

    Uche was simply outstanding. From the time of engagement when I had no idea what theme to use for the party to putting together a plan that worked well with our budget. She definitely adds that extra "IT" factor. The final result exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much!

    DBO truly is the cream of the crop. Uche is well versed in her craft and she walked me through every aspect of my event. Working with DBO was stress free and everything looked great. I couldn't have asked for a better company to work with.

    Omg .......beautiful beautiful beautiful flowers. I wanted to add some spunk to my bf's dinner party and Designs by Uche exceeded my expectations. Uche was on time, down to earth, and the roses along with all other flowers brightened up the atmosphere. She gave my bf and I a few tips on how to keep the roses alive and they lasted for about a month which was weird to me because I usually have to throw them out within a week or two. Anywhoo I recommend Uche for all events that you may have and I personally cannot wait to get married so she can bless me with some bouquets......

    Once again. Thanks Uche xoxo

    I used Designs by Oochay for my 60th birthday party decor and I am so glad I chose this vendor. Uche was such a joy to work with. Her love and passion for decor really made the process so easy. She is very creative and suggested ways to save me money without sacrificing the look and feel I wanted. She and her team worked so hard to bring my vision to life. My guests were also very impressed with how intimate the decor made the event look -which is what I really wanted. Thank you for such an awesome job!!

    So I hardly ever write reviews, but I had to make an exception for Uche and her work.

    Simply put - Uche is amazing! I am not especially creative, or at all creative, and I needed someone who could execute something I wasn't even aware I wanted. She does that and so much more. Uche pays so much attention to detail, which is very important to me, is very creative (elevates the most basic ideas and materials into something special), was able to work with my (limited) budget, and has great customer service.

    If you need a floral designer who is affordable, creative, attentive, and awesome, Uche is your girl!

    The designer is very professional. She listens carefully and executes your vision to the fullest. She's creative and I was very impressed with her work.

    This review is long overdue. I hesitate to actually write it because I would honestly love to hog one of the best keep secrets in event design for myself.

    Uche is quite frankly one of the most creative and professional designers I have come across. She works to fully understand your vision for your event or floral arrangement and always takes it a notch above what you will ever expect! It's like she has magic hands and everything she touches turns out so beautiful!

    Designs by Oochay is also very reasonably priced and has not only helped me with florals but has designed dessert tables and worked to create a cohesive theme for my events.

    Do not hesitate to contact her. You will not regret it!

    Gorgeous Flowers for Microwedding

    We were introduced to Uche through our wonderful wedding planner (Andrew Roby). Uche took the time to completely understand our vision for the microwedding and gave us a number of options to choose from. My bouquet was stunning- I would not have changed a thing. She also did some gorgeous floral arrangements for our ceremony. All of the flowers were high quality and looked great days later. I’ve seen samples of her other work and I am so impressed- she is truly talented.

    Uche Ojunta created the most beautiful bouquet, hair piece and "flower dog" wreath for our elopement in May of 2016.
    She created everything with very little input from me as I don't know much about flowers. I sent her some photos I found of the colors I liked and left the rest up to her. Simply gorgeous. I was so happy. Thank you, again!!

    Oochay was wonderful. She was professional throughout the proposal phase and executed my vision to a tee at our wedding. Her decor exceeded my expectations! The floral arrangements were stunning as were the candles and votives. I can't speak highly enough of her.

    Designs by Oochay did an AMAZING job for our wedding. Even with all of my changes (too much pinterest) she hung in there and offered her suggestions and professionalism. I was a bit bummed that in order to have a mock design I would end up paying the actual price for one of the table set ups at the wedding. I understand that fresh flowers had to be purchased but they should somehow figure out how to offer this at a discounted price for already invested clients. I'm a tangible visual person so that would've helped. Uche did offer an at home consult in place of the mock design where I did get to see the vases in person, the votives and candles that definitely helped a lot. In the end I cant say enough great things about the service, the quality, the professionalism and the design of it all. Everything was absolutely AMAZING!

    For starters the end result of decor and floral arrangements were absolutely beautiful the day of our wedding. Unfortunately, the customer service and professionalism was an issue we experienced leading up to the wedding day.

    First, as a vendor with a business specifically providing services for weddings it's typical to have brides which inquire about details concerning guess count fluctuations, details about decor, and anything else of importance. As a result her tone and the manner in which she responded became very off putting, which came across as Uche being irritated or bothered by our inquiries.

    Lastly, the day of our wedding I was informed by our wedding planners Uche showed up almost two hours later then the scheduled set up time. The delay had a domino effect on other aspects of setting up for the wedding resulting in our wedding starting late and our wedding planners rushing to complete everything on time.

    To conclude, my husband and I never received an apology or heard from Uche after all that took place. It may not seem as a big deal, however, customer service and extending professionalism along with being courteous goes a long way for any business. Overall what we received was subpar.

    Bad Business Practices-Beware

    I contracted with Designs by Oochay in October 2020 to provide event design and florals for my upcoming wedding in May 2022. I was familiar with their work because my sister previously used them for her wedding in 2016 and was happy with the results. I was not so lucky.
    To start, even though I hired them 2 years ago (and expended $$ for her to come from DC to New York to view the venue in August of 2021), Designs by Oochay failed to give me any floral proposal until last month—mid April 2022—6 weeks before my wedding.
    To make matters worse, the proposal I ultimately received was for $54,000 (far beyond the $10k minimum at the time I hired them in 2020 and the $15k minimum they now have published on their website).
    The proposal contained no floral recommendations, no justification for the costs being quoted--the entire thing was objectively unreasonable. Oochay and her team could not justify this when questioned, and then tried to gas light me into beliving I was insane for pushing back on their arbitrary proposal.
    I have since learned that the reason I received such an outrageous quote was because Designs by Oochay double-booked my wedding date (having subsequently agreed to do a larger 3-day wedding in Virginia), and then gave me a bogus proposal to induce me to terminate the contract. Oochay had no intention of being at my wedding as she committed to this other wedding in January of 2022, but NEVER told me. They acted in bad faith and put me in a terrible position that no bride should be in so close to her wedding. Their lack of professionalism and deceptive practice is truly reprehensible.
