The bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony arrangements were nothing short of stunning — elegant, romantic, and perfectly tailored to our style. So many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the flowers were, and they really elevated the entire atmosphere.

Everyone was blown away by how beautiful they were. She nailed our "moody romantic" theme perfectly!

terest 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!!!!!

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 wi...
ldflowers)- 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.

ient 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!

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!

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!

rs 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 s...
he 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, my...
self, 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.

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 t...
o 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 we...

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 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.
