Develyn has now done the flowers for two of my sisters’ weddings and both were fantastic. Most recently, she handled the flowers for two brides, 12 bridesmaids, 20 centerpieces and ceremony flowers. All arrangements were DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. We gave her a color palette and a few flowers the brides like, but then trusted her expertise and artistry to put together absolute masterpieces. Her passion for her work is evident, and the results are incredible.

Flowers was something I kept forgetting to get to in the midst and craziness of wedding planning. Achara was recommended to me by my venue and I’m so glad we booked them for our flowers. We were about 1.5 months out when I connected with them but Develyn was on the ball and kept it rolling until the wedding day. She quickly helped us pick our arrangements for our bouquets, corsages, and decor. Made great suggestions to repurpose the flowers used outside for indoor use as well. Of course the flowers were gorgeous!! I’m sad I didn’t make arrangements to preserve them but we still have some great pictures on the way to help remember. Thank you Develyn for your swift and beautiful work! Highly recommend!

I loved the flowers for my wedding! I cried when I saw my bouquet where they included my grandmother’s locket. Develyn went above and beyond for us. Everything was beautiful!

Achara did the flowers for my wedding and they were absolutely stunning! The ladies at Achara were so flexible and easy to work with. I really appreciated their attention to detail to what I described. I teared up when I saw my bouquet because it was more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. The florals were beyond perfect, and really tied everything together on my wedding day. I cannot thank them enough for the job that they did.

These ladies know what they're doing. We sat down a few months out from the wedding so I could tell them what I envisioned for myself and our bridal party and they came out to our venue to see what else they could do to beautify the place. They were outstanding and I'm still getting comments on how lovely the flowers were. Because of my Polish heritage I had a flower crown that was just absolutely stunning (and immediately brought tears to my mom's eyes). They arrived on time and were set up and gone before I even noticed and the flowers were so fresh and vibrant. Also the bouttonieres had magnet fasteners- which was new to me and so easy to use! They truly helped set the Autumn tone to our wedding and made the day that much more lovely. Thank you Develyn and team!

I would highly recommend Achara Florist to any Bride-to-be when ordering the Wedding Party flowers... my daughter and I had a one-on-one meeting, which eased our worries about ordering flowers immediately. They walked us step-by-step, leaving no stone unturned, and provided suggestions to make the arrangements even more perfect. The flowers were delivered the morning of the Wedding in containers to ensure their freshness, the Groom/Groomsmen arrangements were placed beautifully in a box and the Bride/Bridesmaids/ Reception bouquets were absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous... better than we ever imagined! The flowers were well worth the money and I would highly recommend this Florist to anyone with a need for a floral arrangement!! I cannot thank Achara Florist enough for making my daughter's wedding/wedding party look absolutely beautiful!! I will definitely use them again for any future floral needs!

The head floral designer, Develyn, knew exactly what I wanted! I had a vision in my head and wasn’t able to say it with words but she was able to SHOW me with actual flowers that they had in the cooler to just give me an idea, so I could see it. And from there we were a team and she walked me through the entire process and made it so painless and stress free! I did not have to worry whether or not my flowers were going to come out right... I KNEW they would! Thank you Develyn and the entire staff of Achara who made my wedding so beautiful and memorable!

After visiting and meeting with multiple florists, I fell in love with Achara Florist. They knew exactly what I wanted and made it happen. When I saw my bouquet on the big day, it blew me away because they went above and beyond with everything. Also gave me tips one where to save money. I thought it was a great idea to give the mothers and grandmothers a rose during the ceremony made it more personal than just giving them a corsage to wear. Everyone came up to me afterwards and said they were going to do that at their wedding. I would definitely recommend! The only Florist I will use from now on :)

BEAUTIFUL SHOP, AMAZING PEOPLE! I had used Achara Florist and Fine Gifts for personal gift giving needs in the past and have always had a great experience so I chose them to handle the floral arrangements for the most important day of my life and I am so thankful I did! The staff at Achara is professional, friendly, knowledgeable and VERY helpful (and patient!) with a "pefectionist" type bride! I don't think there's anything they can't handle! The bouquets, arrangements, colors - everything...just gorgeous. I received so many compliments and inquiries! The price is right, and the flowers were of such high quality that they lasted long after the wedding for my family and friends to enjoy. These people definitely know what they're doing, and do it well. Achara comes highly recommended. Thank you, ladies, for a beautiful, stress-free experience! Everything was PERFECT!

Janet arranged my flowers, they were amazing, the bouquets were perfect for my girls dresses, and she was happy to discuss and choose flowers with me on multiple occasions as I made my decisions. They were bright and beautiful and hit the mark perfectly!
