Désirée Flower & Design Studio

This review was written by my wife who is not on Unilocal:
Desiree was the last vendor we chose, after I gave up on the idea of
doing my own flowers. She was recommended by my planner, whom I did not
quite trust after she referred me to larger companies quoting $ 100
minimum for centerpieces (knowing my limited budget), but I went along
with it as I was running out of time.
What a great choice! Desiree met me within a week, had a proposal together without too much waiting and clearly understood what I wanted in a way I can’t imagine at a big flower shop. Her prices were totally reasonable and she was flexible in letting me add my extra touches (though I think I should have just
let her do her own thing entirely).
I really like that she is an independent florist who doesn’t just focus on the wedding industry. So I felt comfortable with her but was still nervous (as all brides
are). But when she came into my suite with her calm and beautiful
energy carrying flowers beyond my dreams I knew that she was the best
possible choice I could have made. My flowers were GORGEOUS, she has
such a talent for bouquets. Everything matched beautifully. The
centerpieces were simple glass bowls with large candles and flowers
with a small amount of water (my idea but her touch made them come to
life way better than I had planned)
They were far better than any pure floral centerpiece. Everyone at the
wedding commented on them and they were happy to take them home
I am amazed she was able to create such a special design for a 150
person wedding all by herself and with such grace and not too much
lead time. I had a lot of difficulty setting up meeting with other
more established shops and was so nervous that this last piece would
just not work. I had considered ordering flowers online and setting up
myself. The cost would have been almost the same, the headaches FAR
greater, the environmental impact much worse and the outcome much less
beautiful.
I am so grateful to Desiree for proving to me how much
professional flowers can beautify an event as special as a wedding. I
wholly recommend her to anyone.

Desiree did all of the flowers and lighting for my backyard wedding in Saratoga. She did an AMAZING job and I couldn’t have been more pleased with how things turned out. She listened to our inarticulate design ideas and created arrangements more beautiful than I had imagined. She is reasonably priced and I would recommend her for any type of event.

Desiree was a godsend. I had such a hard time with my wedding floral designers. Some of them bailed and some of them charged too much.
Desiree gave me a very good rate $ 2000 that included all centerpieces and personal flowers as well as the marigold garlands for my wedding arch. She was very creative and was open to my organic, local veggies and fruit ideas for centerpieces. I’ve attahced photos of my centerpieces and wedding.
She does not tell people this but she was one of the floral designers for Gavin Newsome’s wedding in Wyoming. I would wholeheartedly recommend Desi.
