Designs by Darenda

I called from California and needed flowers delivered to a funeral home in Homestead, FL just a few hours after I called to order them. I spoke to Darenda herself and received excellent customer service, including e-​mail confirmation that the flowers had been delivered to the funeral home. Trusting from the pictures and comments on Unilocal,I trust that the tropical arrangement she delivered will be fresh and worth the money. Thank you!

came in and bought flowers for my wife. service was very friendly and price was fair. this place may throw you for a tailspin at first as neighborhood is a little sketchy. flower shop has parking on the side.

Wow what a beautiful arrangement! My 1 year anniversary and my husband surprised me by sending this beautiful arrangement to my job. Everyone in the office was in love with it and said they smelled fresh. I could not believe they delivered from Homestead to Kendall. I took them home and enjoyed them for a long time. One of my co-​workers wanted the business card so that he can order since he lives in the Homestead area. Thank you honey for flowers.

Received a bouquet for my anniversary. My husband was tired of ordering what looked to be beautiful flowers online only to be disappointed when they were delivered so he did a Google search and found this gem. These were the freshest flowers I have ever received and beautifully arranged. Will be using you for all of our arrangements from here on out. Thank you!

Just received the most beautiful arrangement ever. The entire arrangement is elegant, uniquely designed and exquisite. I will use Designs by Darenda for all my future orders. I received a phone call before the delivery with a time frame and also a call when they arrived. Designs by Darenda is doing it the right way and it is great to have service that is excellent.

Exceptional! The most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen!!! Every idea that I had came to life in my bridal bouquet! I highly highly recommend using her!

Last minute magic! A funeral is not something one can plan on & we were so lucky that she was able to fullfil our needs last minute. The arrangement was just beautiful. In fact you could tell which arrangments at the service were from there, all just tasteful and beautiful. I have used Designs by Darenda a couple of times and they have always been great but its truly appreciated when it’s under tough circumstances & you know you can count on them.

I just had a February wedding and Darenda made my bouquet. Went to her with my budget, we looked at pictures together and I gave her my color. I LOVED my bouquet! Please start here if you are looking for a florist in South Florida; especially for a wedding.

By chance I trusted a google search to bring me to Designs by Darenda. Man do I love Google because this women is awesome! She made my wedding extra special.
I fully recommend her services for any occasion!

I recently had a destination wedding in Islamorada, FL and was planning everything from Los Angeles. After multiple awful phone calls & emails from a different florist, we parted ways and I looked for a new florist. and voila ~ Designs by Darenda! From the very first conversation, I knew that I was SOOO lucky to have found her!!! She is the utmost professional, from timely responsiveness both via phone and email, to her dedication and care in making sure I did not have to worry about a thing! After the first conversation, and briefly describing the atmosphere and event design we were looking to achieve, she sent me an email with pictures of the flowers she was thinking would reflect what I had described. EVERY single picture was exactly what I wanted!
Darenda did not waste my time, she was concise with the information she needed from me and really ‘gets’ what her customers are looking for. She was so very sweet, showed up on time, made everything look stunning — to which I didn’t have to worry about a thing (and I am very detail oriented and a bit anal retentive). My bouquet smelled and looked amazing!!! Literally every arrangement was perfect & looked like it had come straight from a wedding magazine — but on a slim budget she had to work with!!! The ONLY thing I would have changed is having to leave the next day four our honeymoon and not being able to take all the flowers with me out of the country!!!
Every one of our guests commented on how beautiful the flowers looked, and I couldn’t help but beam throughout the day loving all of my flowers and appreciating Darenda’s hard work, and meticulous attention to detail!!! If you are looking for a florist for ANY EVENT you should pick Designs by Darenda! I couldn’t be happier with everything and all of her hard work. She made my wedding day absolutely perfect!

Darenda is AMAZING!
She was our florist for our wedding on 5÷9÷13 in Islamorada, FL, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her talents, attention to detail, enthusiasm, professionalism, courteousness, excellent communication, creativity, and overall result of our floral arrangements on our wedding day!
I chose Darenda after interviewing several florists. I was on a very tight budget, but wanted that «wow» factor that every bride hopes for.
Not only did Darenda deliver on the most beautiful and impressive floral arrangements that exceeded my expectations tenfold, she actually seemed excited by the challenge of working to give us the most bang for our buck (when do you find a wedding vendor that actually likes working within a tight budget?).
Working remotely via email and phone calls from California, I gave Darenda broad direction with a few photos, a color palette, and a small list of preferred flowers. I told Darenda to let her creativity and talent do the rest. It was the best decision I could have made! From my bridal bouquet, Maid of Honor bouquet, boutonnieres, table arrangements and corsages, the flowers were stunning! And, despite the Florida heat, the flowers remained perfect, even days later! Darenda even added extra touches that I hadn’t asked for. She brought my bouquet to the hotel where I was getting ready, and expertly set up the florals and cake flowers at the event site right on time.
Darenda helped make our wedding day spectacularly special, and I am so grateful to have found her.
