    Beautiful work and great experience

    Joanne arranged beautiful bride and bridesmaid bouquets, as well as the groom’s matching boutonniere for us. She also arranged aisle florals for us. We decided to rent some things through her as well, like podium bouquets and aisle runners. She was awesome and our wedding was beautiful.

    AMAZING!! Will never stop recommending Joanne!

    My Husband and I met and inquired with several florist companies and the second we walked into our meeting with Joanne, there was no question that she was the PERFECT choice for our wedding. Joanne took as much time needed during each of our meetings to discuss our ideas and show us tons of options and examples from the many weddings and events she has done. Joanne knows her stuff!! Through my discussions with other brides as well as my own experience, I have not come across and florist who is this devoted and helpful to her clients. She is very honest and upfront about expenses and making sure that you actually get the best value for your dollar. Any time I had a question in regards to ideas, decor, or a flower; she always had an answer. She was able to truly provide us with whatever we needed. Joanne provided us more than we could have even imagined! Thank you so much Joanne!!

    Exceed Expectations

    I called Joanne at the last minute to create tropical floral arrangements for my son's rehearsal dinner. She was so gracious and flexible. Joanne not only met my budget but went over and above expectations. When I walked into the rehearsal dinner I was blown away. The arrangements were so gorgeous! We incorporated them into the wedding reception decor the next day.

    Very very happy with their service!

    I don't know where to begin! Joanne is a very good when it comes to listening to your needs. I wanted a combination of blue and white colors for my wedding bouquet and she helped me with it. She was very good at communicating and providing me the flowers that I wanted! She even gave me the extra flowers that she got! I promise you will be in good hands and rest assured you will not be disappointed!
    I highly recommend them!

    Joanne was amazing to work with & understood my vision!!

    We had a small affair at the beach (inside) and I wanted the ceremony arch to be elegant while the dining area was new by casual with table decor we could see over and talk to each other. We talked by phone and emails sending photos back and forth. I highly recommend!!

    Amazing Florist

    The best florist in Jax. Joanne at Special Arrangements was a gem to work with. The quality and floral arrangements she design are absolutely beautiful. From the beginning of the process, till the end, she helped me make the best selections; as well as provided alternatives and the most economical selections. I couldn’t have asked for better. Joanne and her team stayed throughout the ceremony to move arrangements from the outdoor ceremony to the indoor reception area. Although the venue would take care of it, she wanted to ensure it was set up to our expectations. She has a great eye for design and spaces. You can’t go wrong, Make Special Arrangements your choice for floral design.

    Fabulous florist!

    Joanne was so helpful, patient, and kind throughout my entire wedding planning experience. She was diligent in helping me pick the perfect flowers for my bouquets and centerpieces. Her team did a fantastic job quickly assembling on the day of and making sure everything was perfect. She also gave great advice and tips that made the difference for my overall floral vision. Joanne made me feel at ease during a hectic postponement process. Everything came out beautiful and I couldn't be happier with my decision to let Special Arrangements handle my flowers. I would highly recommend her to any bride!!

    The Perfect Accent to Our Perfect Day

    I am very familiar with Joanne and her Special Arrangements Team. My family owns an Event Planning company, Jenju Enterprises, LLC., and we have worked exclusively with Joanne for many years, so when it was time for my big day, I knew I didn't want to work with anyone else! Joanne worked us from the very beginning to help us plan every detail of our floral and decor needs. SA uses top quality flowers and accents without breaking the bank, and as a bride on a set budget, I truly appreciated that. We were able to get a perfect blend of fresh and silk flowers that you would have a hard time telling apart. I wanted to incorporate succulents and magnolias into my decor and Joanne made it happen with high quality synthetics that lasted through the ceremony and reception without wilting or falling apart like their "real" counterparts would have. Joanne worked with us to create a custom bouquet that was EXACTLY what I wanted, as well as custom decor for our ceremony arch, reception, and the sacred geometry metalwork piece we had created as well. There is no floral and decor company I would have rather worked with for my special day. Joanne met and exceeded my expectations by far. 10 stars!!

    The flowers at our wedding were absolutely gorgeous. Joanne went above and beyond to get every small detail perfect.

    With her knowledge of flowers and what will be in season she helped us choose gorgeous flowers for our wedding. I came to her with no knowledge and she helped guide us, she is very knowledgeable in many aspects of weddings and helped us choose color schemes and other vendors. Joanne was meticulous in her work, we highly recommend her.

    Wonderful to work with

    Joanne was a pleasure to work with! She was so flexible to anything and everything I wanted and willing to lend her experience so that I got the best looking bouquets for my wedding. She was right on time with delivery and made sure everything went to the right place. She even redid my entire cake table when the venue didn’t set it up correctly. I really can’t say enough good things about her, she works with any size wedding and budget. Thank you Joanne!

    Made my coral dreams come true!

    Joanne went far and above all my expectations for flowers at my wedding. She is brilliant at what she does and she listens to exactly what you want. She took my clustered Pinterest board and made it into gorgeous arrangements that everyone loved. I love the fact that she works with both real and silk flowers. This allowed us to have the colors and flowers we wanted even though they were not in season. I still have arrangements around my house and I gush over them everyday. I highly recommend Joanne and her team, they made my wedding look fabulous.

    Wedding Florist 👰🏻

    Joanne did a fantastic job as our florist. Not only was she available when we needed her, but she did the most impressive job making sure our venue, which I did not find aesthetically pleasing, was exactly what I wanted. The property manager of our venue asked for photos to put on their website, because she had never seen it look better. I was the most stressed out bride and special arrangements made my life so much easier!!
