Ching was absolutely incredible to work with for my wedding. I wasn’t even quite sure what I wanted, but she took some of my inspiration pictures and created the most beautiful floral arrangements I’ve ever seen. Ching single-handedly took my blank- slate venue and turned it into a dream. My flowers were one of the most talked about things that night! I still get compliments to this day. Her attention to detail is unlike any other and I have recommended her to every bride! She’s also very professional and easy to contact. You won’t regret hiring her for your wedding!
Your talent and attention to detail truly transformed the space and added an unparalleled beauty that took our breath away.
From the moment I laid eyes on the arrangements, I was captivated by their elegance and sophistication. Each bloom was meticulously selected and expertly arranged, resulting in arrangements that were not only visually stunning but also infused the atmosphere with a sense of enchantment and romance.
Your passion for your craft and your genuine desire to bring our vision to life did not go unnoticed, and I am incredibly appreciative of your efforts.
Thanks to your exceptional florals. You made the even all the more memorable and magical. T
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future and will wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone in need of exquisite florals for their events.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ching for our wedding on April 6, 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. My husband owns the venue, so we’ve seen Ching’s work many times before and have always been impressed, but she truly outdid herself for our special day.
Ching has a unique talent for blending simplicity with impactful designs, making every arrangement look effortless yet unforgettable. She perfectly captured the atmosphere we wanted, enhancing the venue with elegant florals that were both timeless and modern. Her attention to detail and ability to understand our vision was remarkable, and she delivered beyond our expectations.
Not only did she handle our florals, but Ching also created the most elegant, customized invitations. She took our inspiration and turned it into a piece of art that all our guests complimented. The invites were stunning, with every detail thoughtfully executed.
Thank you, Ching, for making our day so magical! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a florist who combines creativity, skill, and a personal touch.
Ching did a phenomenal job with our wedding flowers! I loved every part of her work, from the centerpieces to my beautiful bouquet. She is also very attentive and responds quickly to any and all questions I’ve had. I highly recommend her!
Ching did a phenomenal job with my wedding flowers! I loved every part of her work. She was also very attentive, and responded quickly to all of my questions / concerns. Her work really speaks volumes.
Ching was my favorite vendor to work with at the end of the day. She addressed my concerns professionally, executed my vision flawlessly and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!
I cannot recommend Ching enough! She was my florist for my wedding, and the flowers were absolutely breathtaking. From the moment I saw them, I literally gasped—they were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Throughout the entire process, Ching was so understanding of my vision and brought it to life with incredible attention to detail. The mood boards she created were stunning and really captured the aesthetic I was going for. On the day of the wedding, her delivery and execution exceeded all expectations. Everything was perfect and went above and beyond what I had hoped for. Ching is truly amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a florist who is talented, professional, and a joy to work with. She made my wedding day even more special with her beautiful work.
I got to work with Ching from Design Quintessentials for a shoot that was planned by KR coordination at a venue in Downtown Detroit. She was absolutely incredible to work with and went above and beyond, and it was so clear that she cares about the work she creates and the clients she gets to work with. I can’t wait to photograph more of Ching’s work in the future! I highly recommend Ching and her team if you’re searching for a florist!

Ching was amazing from the get go, I described our theme which is a little unorthodox (blue, silver, fall colors and a little nightmare before Christmas flair… she looked at my Pinterest boards and created an amazing vision board only exceeded by the gorgeous florals at our ceremony. Guests and party were wowed!!! She was very accommodating (I had a fairy light centerpiece vision) I was even able to drop the fairy lights at her home which is much closer to mine than going downtown. Her cake flowers, bouquets, grooms party flowers were gorgeous. She was a total breeze to work with. I can’t recommend her highly enough… Thank you Ching the flowers were wonderful!!!!!
I highly recommend using this florist! The flowers and decorations were beautiful, and the process could not have been easier. Ching was by far the most responsive and accommodating vendor I worked with while planning my wedding!
Ching and her staff were a joy to work with. She was recommended by our wedding planner and give us everything we desired and more within our budget. Several individuals commented on the Beauiful flowers the days of and when viewing the wedding photos.
We would definitely use Design Quintessentials for my floral needs.
Design Quintessenials did the flowers for my wedding, and it was absolutely perfect! Ching was able to bring my exact vision to life. She put together a floral arch which was stunning. The bouquets and centerpieces were beautiful. Great quality. She also made the seating chart and table numbers which perfectly matched the aesthetic. She was so kind to work with. Cleanup at the end of the night was easy, we were able to just take the centerpieces with us. And we got so many compliments on the flowers! Highly recommend!!
Ching was incredible to work with! We was always happy to answer any and all questions I had or explain anything I was unsure of. My bouquets, centerpieces and all the other florals were STUNNING! I highly recommend using DQ!
Ching absolutely blew my florals out of the water. I was looking for something a bit unique, and had some trouble finding exactly what I was looking for on Pinterest (true bushy wildflowers)- but despite this Ching still absolutely nailed it. My centerpieces were so creatively beautiful, my only regret is not preserving them. Ching also designed my invitations, which turned out to be probably the most gorgeous invites anyone has ever seen (the compliments were unreal and my MIL even framed it!!). I was married in a butterfly garden, and struggled so much to find butterfly themed invites that didn't lean too kid-ish. Ching literally swooped in and saved the day- I now have a pieces of art to keep forever. Simply put, Ching is everything you could ever want in a vendor: responsive, open minded, easy to work with and delivers incredible product.
As a wedding planner, I always love when I'm able to work with other amazing professionals and Ching is truly that! She was a pleasure to work with leading up to the couple's wedding and the day-of! She went above and beyond to ensure that everything looked beautiful for this couple and her designs were truly stunning! I cannot wait to work together again!
Communication with Ching was easy and fun from the very start! We had an initial consultation, and then I ended up completely changing my mind on colors and a theme. She was so patient with me, and took such great time listening to my vision.
The florals she produced for my wedding were unbelievable. After only sharing a few inspiration photos and ideas for colors, she came up with floral pieces even better than I could have ever imagined. People are literally still reaching out to me asking who did my flowers and if I can send them pictures, because they loved them so much. The work Ching does is incredible, and her passion for what she does truly shows in that.
Thank you Ching!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE working with Ching. Ching does AMAZING work and she is talented. you could not have a better florist for your big day and events. She has such attention to detail and knows exactly what you need! Thank you for being YOU, Ching.
Gorgeous color combinations and thoughtful attention to detail for all floral pieces! Ching is very easy to work with and she has an extensive portfolio if you are stuck on design.
Ching is very professional and punctual. Her floral designs are great. Would love to work with her in the future.
Ching is supper creative, professional, and I appreciate her expertise!!
I highly recommend using Design Quintessential for your wedding! Ching created the most beautiful bouquets for my wedding this August and all the guests talked about how perfect they were. Communication was easy and she responded quickly to any questions I had. The flowers lasted all day and night with no worries about wilting!
Ching provided the floral services for my brother’s wedding, and I loved her work so much I had to hire her for my own! She does a wonderful job with every aspect of her business. Not only did she put together beautiful arrangements, from table centerpieces and bouquets to arch décor, she also provides excellent customer service – from replying timely to emails and full floral setup to even repurposing my arch décor to my head table florals between the ceremony and reception! In addition to our beautiful flower arrangements she created, she also helped us design and print the most beautiful wedding invitations. I could not recommend Design Quintessentials more!
Ching always have the most beautiful designs! She’s quick and amazing and always has the best ideas! She is quite the artist with her flowers! Would always recommend her!
Ching is fantastic!! Our flowers were absolutely beautiful, from the centerpieces to the chuppah to the head table to the flowers on the cake. We've gotten so many compliments from guests/family who remember how great they looked and asked who our florist was (we were more than happy to tell them!). Ching has such an amazing eye for design. Everything was cohesive and looked so fresh and professional. She always got back to me so quickly and was so easy and lovely to work with. I would absolutely work with Design Quintessentials for another event!
Ching's talent with putting together beautiful floral arrangements blew me away! Our guests raved about how gorgeous our centerpieces were. We invited our guests to take them home at the end of the night and they were all claimed almost immediately! We also used a large vintage bird cage as our card holder and the way Ching decorated it was just breath taking! She's incredibly creative, accommodating, and great to work with. If you're looking for beautiful florals to bring the "wow factor" to your event, you've come to the right place!
Ching is such an amazing florist and a person to work with! We were planning our wedding without a wedding planner and from overseas and Ching made our work so easy. No complications, she understood exactly what I wanted and was basically reading my mind. We would pick her to do our wedding flowers over and over again! I definitely recommend her, such a pleasure to work with Design Quintessentials.
The flowers from Design Quintessential were absolutely amazing!! Not only were they exactly my vision, but they lasted forever!!! My bridal bouquet was not in water for over 24 hours after I receive it and the day after my wedding, not a single flower had started to wilt! This shows how high the quality of flowers used by Design Quintessential! Ching was extremely easy to work with. I sent her a few ideas of what I was thinking, and she captured this perfectly when putting together the flower arrangements together. When I had changes to make, she was extremely helpful and offered suggestions. 10/10 would recommend working with Ching and Design Quintessential.
Truly blown away by Ching’s incredible floral artistry at my wedding 6/12. I barely gave her any direction as I didn’t have a clear picture in my mind of what I wanted. It’s like she read my mins or something because the flowers were everything I could have wanted and more!! She was so easy to work with in the buildup and accomodated us when we had to make a change and add on the chuppah. The chuppah was an absolute vision, beautiful in every way. It looked so perfect our guests were coming up to take a closer look and see if they were actually real flowers since they looked so perfect. She also waited for an extra hour to take down the chuppah since the photographers wanted pictures in front of it. She was so gracious and kind. The venue is going to start recommending her because of their wonderful experience with her as well. Even though our budget wasn’t exorbitant, she gave us a product that looked like a million bucks. Look no further everyone! Ching is here!
Ching was Literally the nicest woman that I have worked with. The service that she provided was phenomenal. She even delivered all of the flowers that I needed for my groomsmen, myself, and my bridesmaids to the location that I was getting ready since I was doing photos before hand which was very appreciated. I feel like she went out of her way to make me feel like I had already known her. Would highly recommend! Hopes that I get to work with her again in the future or at least we can be friends.
Best florist you will find! I have worked with her for many weddings (I am a bridal MUA) and the brides have always said she exceeded their expectations! Not only is she extremely knowledgable and talented with her craft, she is extremely personable and professional as well! 10/10 would recommend.
I highly recommend Design Quintessentials. All of my guests talked about how beautiful the flowers were for WEEKS after my wedding. Everything went perfectly from the phone consultation to the delivery. I couldn't believe how beautiful everything turned out and it helped make the day so special.
Ching is a wonderful designer! Your vision will come to life with her as your florist. I highly recommend her! She is easy to work with, reasonably priced and does quality work!
I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Ching and her floral business. I was so nervous about what my wedding was going to look like (as a very visual person, this is hard to do lol). Ching worked her butt off to make sure everything was what I wanted it to be, including hunting down enough centerpieces for the reception. She followed my vision to a T, going above and beyond to do more than I even asked, and was so kind and sweet. She coordinated with my planner seamlessly making sure everything was set up correctly, did not stop working the whole time she was at the venue and was flexible with any changes we had. I was so stunned with the quality and beauty of the flowers she provided us with. She even did little extra things, which for me was huge, like providing extra boutonnieres and corsages and beautiful vow books for us.
I had a challenging theme to my wedding, but Ching didn't hesitate and made my dreams come alive! I live in Florida and had to do all our planning virtually but she communicated well and I didn't worry at all about her abilities. We had a tight budget and she offered ideas to help with saving some money. I highly recommend Design Quintessentials for your florist needs!
Ching did a phenomenal job with the flowers for our wedding. She continuously contacted us, she was quick to answer our questions and she created exactly what I wanted for the outdoor arch and our bouquets. I received compliments from everyone at the wedding! Ching thank you so much!
Ching & I first worked together on one of our clients’ Weddings & she did an incredible job! From her communication to her absolutely stunning florals and design! Afterwords she reached out to me to do a styled shoot together! She worked on getting fabulous new local wedding vendors to our venue, The Roostertail. Organizing a styled shoot takes more than most people realize but she handled everything in a professional and very friendly manner! She even partnered with another florist to do two different looks and designs!
Since then I have personally reached out to Ching through her paper invitation company for two different projects! One project was to design a thank you card for my clients, she is only one of two people who have sketched out the Roostertail building! The second project was a luggage tag & passport cover with the sketch of the Roostertail for our owner’s birthday present!
I’m thrilled that more of my couples have hired Ching for their weddings since we first meet last fall 2020; every time I work with Ching I know the couple will be getting incredible quality of florals & design, and a professional & sincere vendor relationship! Thank you Ching for all your hard work with every couple we have worked together with!
Ching was the sweetest and most thoughtful vendor in the world. She was amazing to work with and accommodated us through a pandemic and flower shortage. She went above and beyond on the little things and really made us feel heard and so appreciated. I would recommend Ching to absolutely anyone as I was absolutely shocked and impressed with how beautiful everything turned out.
I worked with Ching for a wedding over Labor Day. As a wedding planner I have worked with florists all across the spectrum, from hardly involved workers who just put flowers together...to expert florists that love the art, who ensure brides see their dreams come to life, and are in it for the whole wedding vision.
Ching was absolutely the AMAZING. She saw the vision and brought it to life, then was there every single step of the way to make sure it was as perfect as we dreamed. Even when there was a last minute change of plans, she went out of her way to make things work and ensure the bride got the look and feel she was envisioning.
As a wedding planner, I would absolutely recommend her to any bride looking to make their lush floral wedding dreams come true!
I had such a great experience working with the owner of Design Quintessentials, Ching. She always got back to me quickly with any questions I had & had great ideas for my wedding. The day of, she set up everything perfectly- it all looked amazing! Would highly recommend!
Ching was awesome to work with and she did a phenomenal job with our wedding flower arrangements! She was so easy to communicate with and was very thorough and professional. We had to postpone our wedding a few times due to the pandemic, and she was very understanding. I couldn't be happier with how our arch and centerpieces turned out! I was also blown away by how beautiful my bridal bouquet was. I follow her on Instagram and really enjoy seeing all her beautiful work. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Ching with Design Quintessentials does nothing less than an amazing job! She volunteered to do all the floral work for a style shoot at The Treasury Ballroom in Pontiac, Mi. She also captured our amazing vision while doing all of the centerpieces for our Grand Opening Event. I would recommend her for any event.
I loved working with Ching! Hope to work together again soon!
