    Wonderful and wild color

    Our florals were gorgeous - it was tough not to make the entire wedding album pictures of Meredith's chuppah, bouquets, and table arrangements! Meredith was conscientious, thoughtful, and creative. We loved working with her to make our very city wedding feel a bit more organic and wild. I only wish she offered florals for our daily life (I guess we'll just have to renew our vows soon!). We were especially impressed with her honest feedback about what we did and did not need to make our vision a reality. She was happy to factor specific preferences into our florals, but we had very few of those and she built amazing arrangements that perfectly captured what we wanted.

    Simply Perfect

    Rocking Bird was far and away the star vendor for our wedding. The flowers were simply incredible, and Meredith matched exactly what we were looking for. She is a dream to work with, and her work is beyond stunning. I could go on forever; we highly, highly recommend her.

    Beautiful, timeless, classy, elegant displays

    Meredith and her team are so talented! We worked with them for our fall wedding that took place at a winery. We wanted greenery with minimal flowers and only roses. She knocked our vision out of the park! Everything was stunning and elegant.

    Great team that perfectly executed our vision

    We contacted Meredith quite some time before our wedding actually took place due to several COVID-related delays. She was excellent about maintaining contact with us and informing us of important deadlines approaching. We had our initial phone meeting with her where we described our vision for our florals and Meredith in her team were very excited about making it a reality for us. We wanted to have many marigolds or marigold-colored flowers as the main component of our arrangements and Meredith was helpful in informing us that that might be difficult given the time of year of our wedding and the sourcing of the marigolds. We were also working on making paper flowers for decorations and she said she would look at what we have and try and incorporate them into our arrangements and was honest with us in saying that if they did not look good with the real flowers she would not use them. We appreciated her honesty and were excited when she decided to use them in our arrangements. We finally got to see all of the pieces the day of the wedding and we were blown away! Not only did she seamlessly include our paper flowers in the arrangements, she also was able to acquire a significant number of marigolds! All of our guests loved the centerpieces and several of them could not tell our homemade paper marigolds were incorporated into the arrangements. We loved working with Rocking Bird Flower Co and will definitely recommend them to any and everyone!

    Creative, exciting flowers

    Meredith and her team were absolutely incredible. I was blown away by her creativity and thoughtfulness throughout the entire process. Florals were our only decoration, and Meredith nailed it.

    Highly Recommend!

    Meredith and her team at Rocking Bird Flower Co. are a must have DC wedding vendor! As someone who appreciates floral design, yet has little knowledge about flowers, I knew I needed a vendor who would provide the creativity and expertise to help me create a vision for our November District Winery wedding. I knew we were in good hands when I saw Meredith’s initial proposal. She turned my vague ideas and thoughts into a concrete vision. A few weeks before the wedding, we had our final design consult with her at her studio; again she proposed the most beautiful color palate and design elements. She made honest and direct recommendations on where to splurge and where to save, we actually ended up spending under our budget! On our wedding morning, when I saw my bridal bouquet my jaw dropped; it was absolutely stunning, even better than I imagined. My reaction was the same when I walked into our reception. Our guests are still complimenting our floral design months later!

    Flawless execution of 2x-delayed DC wedding

    Meredith and the Rocking Bird team were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the wedding planning process, and we could not recommend them more highly.

    We were originally scheduled for a September 2020 wedding and had to postpone twice due to COVID-19. Once cases settled down enough that our final date (October 2021) looked like a go, Meredith picked things up seamlessly, hosting us in her studio for a thorough (and fun!) discussion of my wife's vision and walking us through the flower selection and arrangement process. She was honest about how we'd get the best bang for our buck, straightforward about flower availability, and incredibly knowledgeable about the flowers themselves -- seasonality, color combinations, etc.

    Meredith and her team executed the plan flawlessly on the wedding day despite torrential rain for the whole morning and afternoon (thankfully, almost all plans were indoors). We would recommend Rocking Bird to anyone without a second thought.

    Amazing Florist Experience

    I can't say enough good things about Rocking Bird Flower Co. and Meredith! First of all, I'm one of those annoying people who had a concept in my head but couldn't really verbalize it. Meredith took my floaty ideas and made something concrete immediately. From our first conversation, I could tell how much effort she puts into each of her weddings. She kept me updated regularly throughout the process and made everything so easy. The flowers came out better than I ever could have dreamed and they set the tone for the wedding! We had to change our wedding to a microwedding because of Covid and the floral arrangements made the day feel like the wedding I had initially planned! Fantastic experience and I hope to be able to book Rocking Bird Flower Co. again sometime!

    So Many Compliments on the Flowers

    We had an amazing experience with Meredith. We asked for bright pink flowers that didn't look too neat/tidy, and she delivered. The guests were complimenting the flowers all night - so gorgeous, wild, and bright.

    If you want stunning, one of a kind florals for your event, and an amazing vendor all around, choose Rocking Bird Flower Co.

    Working with Rocking bird, and Meredith, for our wedding was a dream come true during a very difficult time for couples and florist alike.

    We started working with Meredith in 2019. We decided to push our wedding back a year due to Covid. Meredith was exceedingly accommodating and flexible despite a date change, the rising cost of flowers, and multiple changes to our agreement over the course of two years of wedding planning. What we received on the day of the wedding was beyond what I could have even imagined.

    If you want to make your wedding dreams come true with stunning, one a kind flowers do yourself a favor and book Meredith and Rocking bird ASAP.

    Our favorite vendor!

    We are so happy we chose Rocking Bird for our October 2021 wedding florals. Meredith was so kind and accommodating and is willing to work within your budget. We did not have a specific vision for our flowers and Meredith took our vague "fall colors" direction and came up with the most beautiful bouquets, table decor, and ceremony arch. We are so grateful to have worked with her!

    Best of the Best

    Where do I even begin?! Meredith is so incredibly talented and an absolute delight to work with.

    She is knowledgeable, communicative, and flexible—everything you need in a florist, especially during these uncertain times. When we had to postpone our wedding, Meredith stayed in touch and made scheduling and coordinating with our other vendors a breeze. When I asked to use only environmentally sustainable mechanics in my centerpieces at the eleventh hour, she immediately pivoted and accommodated the request. Despite the busy wedding season, she went out of her way to incorporate a special stem in my bouquet—a stem that she happened to remember we were fond of but that was likely to be out of season by the time of our wedding. Somehow, she pulled it off. She really knows local growers. That matters.

    If you are looking for a florist who really loves flowers and knows how to showcase their natural beauty, and a florist who will go above and beyond to make your day perfect, go with Rockingbird.

    If you are looking for an artist, whose passion for flowers shows just in the way she speaks of them, go with Meredith.

    Absolute favorite vendor of our wedding!

    Rocking Bird Flower Co. was my absolute favorite vendor for our wedding! I fell in love with Meredith's styling and vision on Instagram and was so in love with what she produced for our wedding. She came up with wonderful ideas for tablescapes and archway florals within our smaller budget (that didn't look smaller budget) and was a dream when we had to reschedule our wedding and the adjustments to the color scheme that came along with moving the wedding from winter to summer.

    The most gorgeous flowers I have ever seen

    From start to finish, working with Meredith was an absolute JOY! She is so easy going, organized, and a true gem to work with. I wanted flowers within a color family but gave Meredith total decision over what flowers to include and what accent colors as well. When they arrived at our wedding, OH MY GOSH. I was stunned at their beauty. They far exceeded any expectations or what I was envisioning in my head and its all because of Meredith's eye for floral design. Thank you Meredith for the BEAUTIFUL wedding flowers!

    Amazing Experience During Unprecedented Times 

    Would highly recommend Rocking Bird Flower Co! I reached out at the very last minute for my intimate wedding in May (about two weeks). From the first email, Meredith had great communication and was so helpful. With a wet, cold spring, and many challenges due to the pandemic, Meredith was upfront with the reality of the situation, flexible when I continued to add/change my order, sent reference photos and spoke with me on the phone once she found out what flowers would be available. I went for more of a surprise for the look/feel of the bouquets and arrangements and it was more than I could have dreamed of. She provided me tips on how to care for the flowers, clear instructions for contactless pickup/what to expect, etc. Everything was STUNNING and to top it off the flowers were from two small, local, women owned farms. I'm so happy I contacted Meredith, everything was breathtaking and the little details made all the difference. There was even sage in two of the arrangements that we were able to make cocktails with a few days later.

    A kind, creative, dedicated soul

    Meredith was born to be a florist. I am so happy that she provided the flowers for my wedding. Her bouquets were bountiful and stunning, the boutonnieres will breathtaking ( she even gave us a few extra just in case), and her centerpieces were exactly what I imagined.

    Seemless and stunning from start to finish!

    Rocking Bird was a dream to work with from our very first call to the day of wedding delivery and set up! It hasn't been an easy year to plan a wedding or be a vendor, but Meredith was flexible and understanding. She ended up creating gorgeous dried floral arrangements for our tiny elopement and then did our flowers for the big celebration as well. Meredith is a true artist and really made both of my visions come to life (even better than I could have ever imagined). She is so sweet, professional, and knowledgeable and helped me with a variety of aspects when it came to planning our wedding décor. I really can't recommend Rocking Bird enough!

    Stunning Florals and Design!

    Hiring Rocking Bird Flower Co. was integral in my ability to bring my vision for a “winter wonderland” wedding to fruition. Meredith personally worked to show me different winter greens, berries and flowers, that would create the look I was going for, and worked tirelessly to help decorate the wedding venue with amazing floral, greenery and other touches to make the space look stunning. We had the ceremony and reception at the same location, which required a tight room flip. Meredith stayed on site, assisting with the room flip and helping to ensure my vision was executed to a T. She not only provided personal florals, but also Harlow stands, garlands for the stairs, greenery for each place setting, greenery and berries for the cake, and loose greenery for decoration throughout the space and giving a wintry look. From the first meeting to our final design meeting, Meredith listened to my ideas and preferences and suggested amazing flowers and materials I had never even heard of. She was incredibly detail oriented and worked with my wedding planned to ensure clear role and responsibilities for every aspect of the floral design elements of the wedding. I was able to re-use her beautiful arrangements at my brunch the next day, and they stay alive an additional week making my home gorgeous. Meredith was a key part of my special day, and I could not recommend her more for helping any bride to achieve their dream wedding.

    Thank you Meredith!!!

    We absolutely loved working with Meredith on the florals for our wedding and could not recommend her more strongly. Meredith was such a pleasure to work with: she took great care with our event and floral needs, she was a thoughtful listener throughout the process, she was super flexible as table arrangements shifted, and so clear with expectations and deliverables. Meredith's different pricing levels (varying in arrangement quantity, set-up, delivery fees, etc.) were great: lots of options with transparent pros and cons for each. She offered fantastic advice for styling, and even though we did some elements "DIY," she made sure the whole look and feel of our wedding florals was cohesive. Meredith was willing to try a slightly different style for our wedding (minimalistic, ikebana-inspired) with fantastic results. To us, the end product was a knock-out! The flowers came together super harmoniously and hit all the notes we were hoping for: fun, warm, and welcoming! Thank you Meredith and Rocking Bird Flower Co.!

    I am such a fan of Meredith’s work and I was so excited that she was doing the bouquets for my wedding. She was so great to work with and very responsive. She listened to me and had great ideas about the look I was going for. I could not have been happier.

    Rocking Bird knocked it out of the park

    What a joy it was to work with Meredith and Rocking Bird. I was a relatively non-traditional bride in that I did not have bridesmaids and did not want to carry a bouquet - even though those traditional flower elements were missing, what we did have was so spectacular that no one missed them. The theme for our reception was fall and we wanted our venue to feel much like coming over for a dinner party at our home. Meredith immediately understood the aesthetic that we were going for, helped us polish our ideas, and then worked some special elements into the centerpieces that made the final products truly unique. The fall blooms were gorgeous and colorful. The piece de resistance, though, was an INCREDIBLE mantelpiece that Meredith installed by hand on-site at the venue. Getting married in front of this beautiful creation was so special. We had event pros and landscape designers in our crowd who are very jaded about flowers, and this absolutely blew them away, too. I did not expect to be so excited by my flowers, but working with Meredith made me so enthusiastic to see them at the wedding. She could not have been kinder or more flexible. I am so grateful we had the opportunity to work with her! Thank you!
