Monika is a magician! And one of the sweetest humans I have met! While picking up our rehearsal flowers, she made sure to say hi and to make sure I loved everything she put together for that night. My mom was so impressed by the rehearsal flowers and even more so for the ceremony/reception florals. I have to be honest; I did not do my research on what flowers were in season/what is best for the Florida heat – all I gave her was some Pinterest pictures that depicted bright colorful flowers and told her I wanted a hint of blue to match the bridesmaids dresses and she completely knocked it out of the park!! I absolutely loved everything she put together! -

Duarte Floral Design creates stunning and unique floral designs, and Monika created absolutely exquisite arrangements for our wedding. We decided we wanted a tropical theme with some softer tones and Monika understood our vision immediately (peach and light pink roses with red gingers).
I showed Monika my veil which had peach flowers on it, and she incorporated the most beautiful pink peonies into my bridal bouquet which complemented my veil perfectly. We also entrusted her with the decorations and she delivered with ceramic and glass vases, beautiful dark brown rattan plate chargers, and medium pink linen napkins. Most of all, we absolutely LOVED the floral arch that she and her team created for us for our ceremony at the Hyatt Centric dock. After the ceremony, our photographer (Bailey Myers of Meandering Media) captured our favorite photo – us under the arch at sunset – so her work will live on forever!
Monika was with us every step of the way. After we scaled back our budget about six months before the wedding, she helped us readjust our order so we could have the flowers of our dreams at our price point. We highly recommend Duarte Floral Design! -

Best Florals Ever!!
Monika and her team at Duarte are absolutely incredible!! I have never seen prettier flowers. Every single person who attended my wedding said they were the best florals they had ever seen! She was awesome to work with and answered any and all questions I had. I would absolutely work with her again and hope to be back in Key West soon! -

Monika designed and her team at Duarte Floral Design delivered the floral for my rehearsal dinner and wedding. I was married in November, 2022, and I wanted dark autumnal tones in my floral. Nothing that read, "tropical beach wedding," which may have seemed an odd request when getting married in Key West. Well, Monika got my vision immediately. Monika is tough, but always right (I'm not kidding, she is). I will remember fondly her convincing me that azure is the, "true Italian blue," after I had selected navy linens for a Southern Italy theme rehearsal dinner. My greatest advise is to share your vision high level and let Monika run with it. Seriously, listen to Monika. She is an absolute genius of her craft, and I cannot thank her and her team enough for making my wedding weekend absolutely gorgeous. -

Recommended by our venue Duarte Florals were great to work with! Very flexible with budget and ideas. Was able to accommodate last minute add -on floral arrangements. Sent pinterest photos and ideas for wedding floral arrangements they were able to replicate beautifully as well as inform us which flowers to choose based on look and price etc... very informative about flowers and which are best to use. Very responsive via email and phone. They are familiar with Key West and our venue at the Hemingway Home along with our cake shop we used for florals on our wedding cake. Definitely recommend. -

Absolutely STUNNING Florals
Duarte did an AMAZING job with our wedding flowers. We are from Ohio so we sent them some inspiration photos and put all our trust in them and they truly exceed our expectations!!
The initial cost estimate we were provided was a little over our budget and Monika quickly made some adjustments to the designs to keep it within our budget and also still capture our vision. Monika also repurposed our ceremony arch flowers for our ceremony which also kept the costs down a bit and also allowed us to use the beautiful arrangements elsewhere!
They also did such an amazing job the day of the wedding. They dropped off the boutonnières, corsages, and bouquets to our house and delivered and set up the floral arrangements at the ceremony and reception for us.
We had the wedding flowers of our DREAMS! 10/10 recommend Duarte!! -

Duarte Floral Design did an amazing job capturing my vision for our wedding! My husband and I live in Virginia and were planning a destination wedding remotely in Key West. From our first meeting with Monika at her shop, she had great visual examples of how we could bring our wedding to life and what decisions we had to make! Throughout the process, I sent Monika examples of bouquets, farm table pictures, flowers, etc. and she was able to pull all my ideas/concepts together into a fairy tale wedding! My friends and family said that the table looked like it came out of a magazine! I highly recommend Monika to make your dream wedding come true! -

Best Florist in KW!
Monika is an artist! The flowers were really important to me for my wedding. I wanted to keep it simple, natural and romantic. When I told Monika my vision she immediately understood what I was looking for. When I walked into our venue and saw our wedding table I was amazed at how beautiful everything looked. She has such an eye for color and knew the best flowers to pick to pull out the colors from my bridesmaids dresses. The whole team at Duarte was extremely professional and went above any beyond. When my husband and his groomsmen were having trouble getting the boutonnieres on, Monika came over to pin them on their suits. She also adjusted my bouquet last minute when I asked if we could make it smaller. Their team is amazing! You wont regret picking them as your florist. (photography provided by Care Studios). -

I am an event planner and I was looking for the right vendor to bring my vision to life for a marriage proposal for my client. I explained what I wanted to Monika and when she sent me photos of the setup, I was blown away. She took my vision and made it into a fairytale. HIGHLY RECOMMEND -

Miranda Sent on 04/17/2019Our dream wedding
When planning our wedding, there were two things I was very particular about and willing to splurge a bit on, the floral and the photography. After much research (mostly online, as we live in Texas and weren't able to visit in person before the wedding), Duarte seemed BY FAR the best option for my difficult-to-please aesthetic taste. Monika was so sweet, responsive, & helpful. I sent lots of pictures of ideas and she talked with me about options. When we were feeling tight with the budget, she helped me decide how to adjust without giving up my vision. I finally got to go to her studio and meet her in person a few days before the wedding and it only confirmed my decision more. Day of, our bouquets were delivered and I teared up, they were more amazing than I could've ever imagined. Of course, all the other floral/greenery followed suit at the venue (Hemingway Home). The ONLY downside is that I couldn't wave a wand and make it all last forever. Would recommend Duarte to anyone wanting gorgeous, timeless floral design accompanied by a kind and helpful staff.
Wish I had more of our professional pictures to share, but here are a few :) -

Stunning Florists
They are the best in Key West. They are so artistic and made my vision come to life within my budget. They work well with the other local vendors. Everyone at the wedding was stunned by how beautiful the flowers were. -

Dream Wedding Flowers!
My vision for our wedding flowers was executed perfectly by Duarte Floral Design. I cannot say enough about the service, responsiveness, professionality, quality, and attention to detail that Monika and her team provided. I was very specific about the style and aesthetic I envisioned: romantic, lush, dreamy, “like a fresh-picked bouquet from a seaside garden”… Monika accomodated all of my requests while working with me to keep costs down. The final product was magical— our breathtaking flowers set the perfect tone for our wedding day, and really brought me so much joy. If you’re getting married in Key West and want your flowers to look/feel like living art, there’s no question about it: hire Duarte Floral Design! -

I had a lot of trouble deciding between to floral vendors, and I'm so happy I went with Duarte! They took my vision and ran with it. They had great ideas for ways to make my budget last. Specifically, we repurposed the two floral arrangements from the church ceremony, as well as the bridesmaids bouquets, and used them all at the head table. I also appreciated that Monika did not try to upsell me, but instead gave recommendations that ended up saving me money. I was so impressed by the tablescape and my bouquet! -

Gorgeous Wedding
Monika and the Duarte team went above and beyond my expectations. I knew from photos and reviews that they could make a wedding stunning-- but still I was completely blown away. They are true artists and so easy to work with as well. Our flowers were so beautiful that I couldn't stand to part with them and carried them with me on the plane, etc so that I could figure out a way to keep them forever. I cannot recommend Duarte more! -

Jaylin T. Sent on 02/16/2019Best florists in The Florida Keys!
There are not enough words to describe our experience with Duarte. I was extremely worried that I wouldn’t be able to find vendors who could create what I was invisioning. When you think of Florida Keys, you think bright and airy. But we wanted the exact opposite for our design, dark and moody. Monika and Patricio delivered exactly this. They were both such a pleasure to work with. I loved stopping by their studio and seeing what they were cooking up for their next event. Thank you so much Duarte for your hard work and creativeness!!! I will forever recommend their services for any event. -

Kristen Sent on 03/13/2019Flowers were absolutely gorgeous!
Monika and Pat were a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to work within my budget. I found exactly what I wanted on Pinterest but it was way too expensive, Monika worked with me to create something identical but with more affordable flowers. Our flowers could not have been more beautiful and I could not be more happy with the quality of work and the professionalism of Duarte Floral. 10 stars!!! -
