Cheryl's Distinctive Creations, Inc.

Cheryl was an absolute dream to work with. I work in heathcare and know nothing about florals. But Cheryl took my lack of knowledge in stride and really helped me figure out what my dream was, and made it happen. She had excellent communication, and was quick to answer my many questions. She took my ideas in stride and offered suggestion where needed. She took my vision and really made it come alive. I am a very petite female, and she understood my need for a smaller bridal arrangement while still making it look beautiful. The wedding party looked stunning in the flowers picked out and arranged. She was up front about her pricing, and helped me stay on budget. In the end, I chose to use candelabras as my table centerpieces and couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. Cheryl was incredibly reliable and professional throughout the entire process. I am so happy I chose her to be a part of the wedding, as I didn’t worry about a thing the day of. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. The best I can do is give her and her business a glowing review and recommend her to all of my friends.

Cheryl did an amazing job with the floral decor for my wedding and reception.

Cheryl did absolutely a phenomenal job on my wedding bouquet. I was able to brainstorm with her and share inspiration pictures back and forth. We drafted a design together that I absolutely fell in love with. When I first saw my bouquet in person I was so overwhelmed with emotion that I started crying. It was everything I could hope for and so much more! It completed my look for my wedding day! I had a concern about shipping my bouquet the day after the wedding, we opted to hire a preservation company to press our flowers so that we could admire them forever. But CDC bared with me through all my concerns and questions and helped me through this process and offered the best tips on how I could go about shipping my beautiful bouquet. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!

I cannot say enough great things about Cheryl and Darlene at CDC Floral. They offered such great advice and were super conscientious of price point and worked very hard to make suggestions to maximize my budget to make our wedding beautiful! The communication was perfect, very responsive. They also arrived on time and set everything up for the wedding day perfectly! Darlene even helped pin the boutonnieres for the groomsmen to make sure they looked their best! They were extremely thoughtful, clear, and made the entire process super easy. I recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

Cheryl and the CDC Floral team were so easy to work with! I made quite a few changes throughout my wedding planning experience and Cheryl was extremely understanding. I told her my 3 "must have" flowers since they had sentimental meaning to me and asked her to pick anything else she thought would tie them together since she is the professional! The way she set up the quotes was SO easy to understand and she even shows all of the adjustments you make in a color coordinated way. I'm sure every bride will agree with me when I say organization is a MUST when choosing a vendor. Floral was extremely important to me for my wedding day and I knew it would probably be one of the most expensive parts. We all know that anything with the word "Wedding" attached to it, is pricey, but overall - I can't complain about the price and what I received. The floral I received were very similar to the inspiration photos I gave and I am very happy with how it all turned out! I have received some photos from my photographer. None show the centerpieces though, I did half with floral and half with floating candles that I provided myself since the cost of floral centerpieces are crazy no matter where you go. I saved SO much money by just doing floating candles with some rose petals on half of my guest tables. I will try to update this when I get more photos to show everything. The ONLY reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think the cost of certain items were higher than they needed to be (again - to be expected when attaching the word "wedding" to any quotes you receive). If I could give half stars, I would give a 4.5 for sure!

Cheryl and the dream team at CDC were absolutely incredible to work with! Cheryl is so kind and was extremely flexible and accommodating throughout the whole floral planning process. We used CDC for our wedding ceremony floral needs. The bridal bouquet, maid of honor bouquet, corsages, and boutonnieres were absolutely breathtaking. We highly recommend CDC Floral for all of your flower needs!

CDC Floral are the absolutely best! Every arrangement was just so beautiful and my whole wedding day just looked so magical. Would definitely use them again.

They did an amazing job, Cheryl completely understood my vision. When I met with her, I had no idea of what flowers I wanted. I knew the vibe I wanted. Let me tell she understood the freakin assignment!!

I went with Cheryl's for my wedding and I could not have been happier! First of all, I so appreciated the attention to detail they gave me from the start. It seems like most florists send you questions prior to meeting to get an idea of what you are looking for - Cheryl's was the only florist who came truly prepared to the meeting, having reviewed my answers, and had plenty of photos of options they could do and knew exactly the type of flowers they were going to go with to fit my style and budget. As the wedding got closer and we needed to make a few changes, it was no issue at all. The day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly with set up and Cheryl and her team made sure everything looked perfect. If you are unsure of where to start or on the fence, definitely consider booking Cheryl's, you will not regret it!

AMAZING. Flowers from CDC were absolutely stunning!!! If you are deciding who to choose as your florist for ANY event, Cheryl and her team WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! Professional and personable. I cannot thank CDC's team enough. You all made our wedding beautiful and we appreciate you so much!!

Great company!! I was so pleased with the service that I got they made my wedding perfect I would recommend them every day all day long!!!

Cheryl & Darlene with CDC Floral were invaluable in creating our wedding. They not only found the exact centerpieces I wanted for the wedding, but they helped us to find the perfect linens and chargers to make our day special. They were also very responsive, flexible, and helpful. I would definitely recommend them.

Cheryl's Distinctive Creation's did an amazing job on the floral decor for our wedding. I felt Cheryl and her team really listened to what we were wanting and made our vision come to life. Cheryl gave us great suggestions and ideas to make sure all the floral and decor looked cohesive and beautiful. If I ever need a florist for anything, I will be contacting Cheryl for her services. Cheryl and her team did a fabulous job! I can't say thank you enough!

I can’t say enough good things about Cheryl and her team, everything made and decorated was so beautiful. They took their time to work with me and make sure everything was within budget. There were several options presented to me. Everything was so elegant! So many compliments on my bridal bouquet.

Cheryl was very helpful and professional. We would definitely recommend her floral services!

Love Mrs Cheryl. I worked in Orlando as a wedding planner for years side-by-side this amazing team. So of course I had to have them for my own wedding. Mrs Cheryl has always exceeded my expectations. My wedding was so vibrant and beautiful I couldn’t of asked for anything better. Thank you for being such an amazing team!

Would choose Cheryl and her team again and again if I could. They were easy to get in touch with and answered any questions/concerns promptly. They helped make the wedding of my dreams come to life without the added stress.

Could not have asked for a better florist! Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable in all aspects of picking out arrangements for the big day! The flowers were so perfect and fresh when they were delivered that they made the room smell amazing! Would highly recommend them to anyone!

Our wedding planners Blush by Brandee Gaar recommended CDC. I am so glad they did. I do not live in the area and was out of the loop on wedding vendors and so glad I had all the help by our vendors. CDC was amazing to work with. I was able to show my vision on my pinterest board and they brought it to life. I am so happy we hired them.

Our flowers from CDC were absolutely stunning. Cheryl was so easy to work with. I shared with her my ideas for the look I was going for for the wedding and she brought the most stunning bouquets! I absolutely adore them and wish they would last forever!

We had the pleasure of working with Cheryl for our wedding and could not have had a better experience. Cheryl's was recommended by Reunion Resort and couldn’t have been happier with the selection. Cheryl was so easy to work with. We brought her pictures and ideas and she used the examples to create the vision we were looking for at our wedding reception. She was able to offer recommendations and unique ideas to fit our wedding style. All the arrangements turned out stunning. We would definitely recommend Cheryl for your florist needs.

Initially, we were excited to work with Cheryl for our wedding. Throughout the wedding planning process, as we wanted to change something she was very happy to update the contract for us. However, the day of the wedding was disappointing. The flower girl ran out of rose petals to toss before she got to the end of the aisle. The aisle runner was bunched up and we had people tripping over it as they left the ceremony. My flowers arrived wilted because they weren't kept in water, and they didn't fully look like the picture I sent. Also, the centerpieces we paid for were only about half the size that we showed her. Overall, everything looked ok to our guests, but we knew it wasn't what we envisioned.

Cheryl and her team were absolutely amazing. I came in with somewhat a vision and thought I had it all figured out. When we arrived at the table setting, it was clear something was off. Cheryl knew exactly what it was, but wanted to make sure I could see my vision executed first. Instead of being pushy or telling me, she let my parents and me figured it out. I appreciated that in so many ways. She knows exactly what looks good and what doesn't. She is a magician and the arrangements turned out even more beautiful than I could've imagined. Even days after the wedding, we're enjoying them at home and they smell amazing. Her eye for floral design and what makes/breaks the room decor-wise is unmatched. We are so thrilled we picked Cheryl's Distinctive Creations!

We worked with Kevin Smoak who was just amazing!! We were planning the wedding from NJ and he made it so easy! We had a couple changes along the way when our guest list almost doubled and he took care of the changes without any problem!!! Kevin executed our vision of our Italian - Amalfi Coast wedding theme better than we could have hoped for!! And at the last minute I asked Kevin to make a greenery halo to match the bouquet that turned out to be the finish touch for my wedding gown!! Cheryl's Florist will not disappoint - what a pleasure to work with professional talented people!!!

Cheryl was very responsive and worked with us to create the exact vision we wanted for our wedding.

Our wedding was on 01/06/18 and my husband and I could not be any happier with how everything turned out! Cheryl and her team wowed us beyond our imagination and we were blessed to have been recommended to her. They are the most genuine and warm vendor you will ever meet so please if you are reading this review book her!! I promise, you will not be disappointed : )

Cheryl and her team were amazing! They worked with our schedule to meet about floral and had a lot of examples to look at. My floral arrangements were PERFECT! They are great about working with your budget and repurposing floral from the ceremony.

Cheryl, I asked and you delivered. I was pretty specific about the details I wanted for my flowers. You nailed all my request. The quality of the flowers were excellent. Thank you for your creativity and for your professionalism. Your work is exceptional.

Cheryl did a phenomenal job with the floral pieces for our wedding. I told her our wedding colors, and she created the most beautiful color combination! When my bridesmaid dress color changed, she quickly adapted the color scheme to the new color without any issues! She is so easy to work with! The flowers day of were absolutely GORGEOUS. It was exactly how she had described it would be! We are so pleased with her services!

I had the pleasure of working with Cherly while planning my daughter and fiancé's wedding. I didn't know much about purchasing floral or floral wedding needs. Cheryl was amazing in helping my daughter fulfill her vision of a Citrus Florida wedding. (and within budget!) The entire team was professional, responsive and experts! So friendly and just as excited about the wedding as we were. Everything was perfect!! Absolutely amazing. I've never seen more beautiful arrangements and bouquets, ever!! They were unique, fun and elegant. Perfect fit to the wedding vision. Cheryl and Darlene are such a pleasure to work with. I wish I could be around them everyday. :) Thank you for being a part of our daughter's big day. Everything was just gorgeous and perfect. Thank you, Kim Mills

Working with CDC was an absolutely phenomenal experience right from the beginning. From our first visit we were able to share our vision and, once Cheryl knew what our concept was, she created a phenomenal package that included amazing flowers that we had not even known existed. Most importantly, however, Cheryl presented the package in a way that made us feel comfortable about being on a budget and didn't make us feel pressured to stretch too far out of reach. This allowed us to view what we had dreamed up and make decisions about where we wanted to splurge and where we wanted to pull back. In the end, we were blown away by the beauty of our floral arrangements and the ease of working with the CDC team!

Cheryl is AMAZING. From our first meeting with her, I knew she saw my vision for the florals. It was so comforting to feel like Cheryl knew what I wanted and would ensure it lived up to my wildest dreams! I had a specific color scheme (many many colors) that she was able to match perfectly. The hanging florals were even more magical than I had envisioned. The entire process was so wonderful. Cheryl was always open to changes, and each rim I made a change, she would update the price sheet and it was color-coded! The floral arch and the flower crowns were so stunning and I am so happy we were able to work with Cheryl and her team! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

From the initial phone consultation, to the face-to-face meeting, and many revisions per my request, Cheryl was an all-star. She educated me on florals, was able to envision my ideas, preferences, budget and overall wedding design concept. Her staff was helpful when I had last minute changes and difficulty deciding. Our day was incredibly special and more beautiful than I could have imagined thanks to CDC! Thank you!

Cheryl and her team turned my vision into a reality even better than I expected. Throughout the planning process, she was always professional and friendly – even through my “I just thought of something else” moments! Our wedding day was absolutely lovely. Thanks Cheryl!

Cheryl's did such a beautiful job on my wedding florals. I went into my consultation with a vision and Cheryl helped me shape it. I can't wait to share photos!

When I started the wedding planning process, I did tons of research on which florists were highly recommended and had the best reviews. I heard about CDC from my wedding coordinator at Reunion Resort as well as my day of wedding planner at Blush, both told me I would absolutely love working with them. From the moment my husband and I walked in, we were warmly greeted by Darleen and Kevin. As we sat down with Kevin and had an extremely quick consultation (because we had a flight to catch back to Boston), we could see that he understood exactly what we wanted. We showed him some pictures, asked for some suggestions, and went through what we envisioned. We both left the consultation knowing two things 1) Kevin could make just about any vision come true and 2) There was no choice about which florist we wanted to work with- CDC was the way to go! As a few months passed after our initial consultation, I kept in contact with Kevin through email. Any question I had- he immediately replied with suggestions, choices, and pricing. No matter what question I had (small or large) he was always friendly, polite, and patient. As a bride planning her own wedding, I wanted to make sure that each of our vendors made our wedding their priority and genuinely cared about what we wanted. My husband and I got married on April 16th and when I tell you our flowers were a dream come true, I truly mean it. Every single aspect that we wanted was incorporated in our flowers and came out even better than I expected and imagined. All of our friends and family members raved about our centerpieces and our wedding party loved their flowers. Kevin was so amazing and really did an outstanding job creating our vision. There are not enough words for me to describe how much I would recommend CDC. If you are looking for someone who truly cares about what you want, will give you suggestions when needed, and will create the flowers of your dreams, then Kevin is absolutely the person for you.

I'm not a big flower person, so I had no idea what kind of bridal bouquet to get for my wedding. Cheryl asked what our theme was (which was kind of tropical/Caribbean) and gave us some suggestions for flowers based on that. We ended up going with white lilies and white orchids, and she said she could add blue gems to the petals to bring in our wedding colors. I had no idea what to expect, but I was very pleased with what she came up with! The bouquet looked gorgeous with my wedding dress and the bridesmaids' bouquets looked beautiful as well.

I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl on my wedding. First, let me say, I did not know anything about flowers. Cheryl was very patient with me, made suggestions, and did a wonderful job helping me to choose flowers that worked for my concept. When I went to see my mock-up, it was exactly the way I envisioned. At my wedding, all the bouquets and arrangements looked absolutely gorgeous!!! I would absolutely recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for a florist for their wedding. You will not be disappointed!

Cheryl is amazing! She was easy to work with, understood exactly what it was I was looking for and trying to explain to her. The flowers for our wedding were absolutely perfect and I would not have changed a thing. My bouquet was out of this world! Literally breathtaking. Not to mention, I was very nervous about this part of my wedding budget but very surprised with how reasonable she was. I will never use another florist again and always recommend her every chance I get. She made my wedding perfect :)

Cheryl went above and beyond our expectations. Our ceremony was beautiful with the pink pew bows she made for us, followed by our fairytale reception with carriages that made our vision come to life. We are so very happy with our experience. Cheryl is very friendly, makes time for you, answers all your questions, and communicates very well. You won't regret using her as your florist. We are very happy.

I never really had a vision of a wedding with flowers. My mother and aunt had sound Cheryl. I live in CA and when I came to FL the next time they took me to see her and look at what they thought would be great. It was breath taking just seeing the mock up she had done. Then came wedding day..... I've never seen just a beautiful tent in my life. The flowers were just remarkable! I wouldn't have changed a thing. :)

Simply the best choice for wedding florals! My fiancé and I were fortunate enough to have Darlene and Cheryl take care of our flower needs and we couldn't be happier. From our initial meeting to the day of the wedding, they made us feel like family. They listened to our vision and took the time to make sure the finished product was EXACTLY what we had pictured. They also worked with our budget without sacrificing quality. If you want a dependable, creative and sincere team to handle your flowers, CDC is it!

Cheryl did a wonderful job with incorporating my mom's lace from her dress into the bouquet handle and flowers. She did just about what I asked for!

Planning a wedding can be stressful but so much fun! Cheryl was the first florist I met with and I knew right away I wanted her to do my wedding. The flowers were gorgeous!! I walked around and couldn't believe how beautiful they were. Once you order your flowers she takes care of it all. I knew I wouldn't have to worry. The day I just showed up and it was done. She even moved arrangements from the ceremony to the reception. She is incredibly professional and talented. I would highly recommend this company.

Cheryl was amazing to work with. She took time to hear exactly what we wanted and was helpful in offering suggestions and also flexible with changing some ideas later on. My Mom ended up working with Cheryl more than I did, while I was handling other things, and my Mom was very pleased. They worked well together creatively and I couldn't have asked for more beautiful florals on my wedding day- the arrangements were exquisite and it was easy to see they were created and handled with care. Cheryl was even able to get peonies flown in from Alaska, a flower that I really wanted in my bride bouquet. Highly recommend her company. Thank you, Cheryl!

I met Cheryl through my wedding planner and from the moment i met her, you could palpate the kindness and warmth she exuded. I would recommend her to anyone with the intentions on having a beautiful wedding. She helped me stay within budget without sacrificing taste. So in your choosing........Choose Cheryl's Distinctive Creations!!!!

Cheryl's Distinctive Creations, Inc. is the best floral designer I have ever worked with! Cheryl has a personal touch that is unique and amazingly creative. The service that we received on site was exceptional.

My sister who is very talented did my bouquets, boutonnieres and arrangements. They were awesome and beautiful. The coral roses were huge and lasted a long time. If I had not used my sister, I wold have gone here.

Cheryl did a wonderful job creating the flowers for our wedding. I hadn't expected a florist to be able to create exactly what I had in mind, since I know nothing about flowers and was barely able to communicate what I wanted. But she did! My bouquet was so amazing. Cheryl's prices are also very competitive with the other florists we spoke to. Could not recommend more.

Cheryl and her team are absolutely amazing. This is the second wedding Cheryl has done for us. She is thoughtful and mindful of all of the "fairy tale" visions we want and worked her magic to make our dreams come true, even on a budget.

I did my own centerpieces but was not going to attempt bouquets! I met with Cheryl & showed her several different styles I liked. They created the most beautiful bouquets for myself & bridesmaids! I never imagined it would be so perfect. Great service!

First thing that came up to my mind when I started typing this review is "wow!" Darlene(Cheryl's assistant) came in the bridal room with my bouquet and the bridesmaids' bouquets. It took my breath away. They looked Exactly like what I had in my mind. The flower arrangements in the Church were absolutely gorgeous! When we got to the reception venue, the tables were set up so nicely with amazing flowers, lanterns, candles and other perfect accessories. Our guests were amazed by how pretty the flowers looked.Cheryl went above and beyond to provide amazing flowers to realize my perfect wedding! Cheryl and her team are amazing! Thank you again! PS: My bouquet is drying and looks amazing can't wait to keep it for a while :)

I use Cheryls all the time for my corporate events as I am an event planner myself. So when my special day came about I had to use her for my floral needs. She traveled all the way to Melbourne Beach to be part of my special day and my flowers turned out gorgeous. I wanted something romantic with a beach flair so I used hydrangeas, orchids, and soft roses. I couldn't have been happier and my centerpieces turned out beautiful as well. I would definitely recommend them!

Cheryl and Her team were wonderful. Our floral arrangements were so beautiful the hotel used them the next morning at the brunch they served to the entire hotel.

Cheryl and her team did an excellent job to make my wedding day fantastic. The flowers were perfect. My husband and I couldn't have imagined something better. When I first started planning Cheryl helped me with everything, from colors of dresses to my official wedding colors. She was always available by phone or email. She was always willing to offer advice on color and flower suggestions. I really couldn't have gotten through the choices that I made without her.

I would just like to say a big thankyou to Cheryl and her team for the flowers they were amazing. I only met with Cheryl once over a year ago to discuss my flowers as I was planning my wedding from my home in the UK. She provided me with help and advice in choosing the flowers and was very thoughful to ask questions about the wedding and my style so she could advise on flowers to best suit my taste. I sent her a colour swatch of my bridesmaid dresses to check that the flowers would match and she again provided help and advice. The flowers on the wedding day were amazing and better than I had ever imagined. Thank you Cheryl once again. Katie & Karl Wright

I had some unconventional ideas, but Cheryl got where I was coming from right away. She even made dozens upon dozens of pinecone flowers with pearl centers for the bouquets and boutonnieres! I was SO HAPPY with the centerpieces and the overall feel of the foliage we decided on. There was one moment a day or two before the wedding when I was stressing and just wanted her to send me a picture of her progress, and she said that just wasn't going to happen because she was too busy getting it ready. I was a little annoyed. But looking back I realize I was kind of asking too much ('zilla moments can happen, beware!), and in the end I was completely satisfied with how the decor turned out. I've got bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres hanging in the closet now to keep forever. They were pretty perfect.

When I was shopping around for florists for our wedding, I was very overwhelmed- until I met with Cheryl. She seemed to know exactly what I wanted and had a clear picture of my vision. Her prices are very reasonable and her work is amazing. Our wedding got moved inside last minute because of weather. I had no doubt that Cheryl and her team would turn the back- up room into a beautiful option- and she did! The centerpieces were exquisite and the flowers on the cake were exactly what I wanted. I'm so glad we chose Cheryl and would not hestiate to recommend her for her outstanding work!!

Cheryl and her team were wonderful!!! I was an out of state bride, having our wedding in FL and she made the experience so easy and she was so knowledgeable. She also offered many alternatives when we were concerned about our budget. And when the flowers were delivered by her personally, everything was so beautiful and smelled amazing. She even tied my wedding colors, without me asking into certain items and it all looked great! The center pieces and fresh flowers on my cake looked fabulous and I was amazed at how beautiful my bouquet turned out. I had shown her a photo of a bouquet in a magazine and she literally replicated it exactly---it was perfect! Highly recommend her and her team if you want beautiful products and great customer service.

Cheryl's is amazing, my flowers looked gorgeous! I had almost no idea what I wanted and everyone was so great to work with. Cheryl was actually the second florist I met with, I was so unhappy with the service at the first place, I kept looking, and I'm so glad I did! She showed us tons of pictures and books to help us decide what we wanted. She never pushed ideas on us, and she was very affordable, and even worked with us on a few budget items. I would give their customer service 10 stars if I could! And the flower quality is excellent, my bouquet lasted over 2 weeks! Thanks Cheryl and Darlene for such a great experience and such awesome flowers!

Cheryl's provided beautiful floral arrangements for my wedding. She was very flexible throughout the planning process and efficient the day of the wedding.

I cannot say enough about this company! When I first saw my bouquet it took my breath away. All of the arrangements were just outstanding. Very nice and professional staff as well.

Cheryl was so sweet! She was kind and responded to emails in a very timely manner. I did not where a veil but wanted flowers instead....she, herself, hand delivered the flowers to the spa where I was getting my hair done. Great business...highly recommend!!!!

Cheryl and her team were so fun and easy to work with from start to finish! I absolutely loved how my feathered bouquet turned out and the centerpieces were gorgeous! Everything was wonderful and I would highly recommend!

I was clueless on flowers, all I knew was that Stargazer lilies had to be there. She showed me a bunch of flower books/bouquet books etc., and I pointed out what caught my eye and from that she was able to create gorgeous centerpieces for me. LOVED THEM
