We have hosted events for 25 years and chose Distinctive Designs by Denise for our daughter's wedding. Having been around the industry and seeing all the different vendors, we were pretty tough customers since this was the first time hosting for one of our own. The entire wedding celebration was a 10 out of 10. We cannot say enough good things about Denise and the quality and execution of her team for a flawless event. Everything from the beautiful ceremony setup, transitioning to dinner and cake cutting, the reception and toasts, and into sendoff and cleanup, Denise and her team went above and beyond to make this truly memorable. We have always appreciated the beauty and improvisation of Denice's floral arrangements, arches, and bouquets. All weddings have something or a few things you wish you could have done differently or had thought about after the fact. We could not have imagined this wedding going any better, and the feedback from our guests has been overwhelming. Weddings are stressful in many ways, but not this one. Denise had it covered. Cheers, and Thank You for helping make this the perfect wedding day.
My flowers were everything and more!!! She created exactly what I wanted for our rustic October wedding. Thank you so much!
We used Denice for our flowers this past November and she did an incredible job! Her team was extremely prompt with communication, reliable, and efficient on the day of. It was a huge weight off my shoulder to not have to worry about bringing center piece props. Denice and team totally understood my vision and carried it out wonderfully. Their creativity is unmatched and I was so happy to see the beautiful flower arrangements set up when I arrived at our venue on the big day. They helped make the day stress free :)
Distinctive Designs by Denise provided me with excellent service and floral arrangements for my wedding. The level of communication and dedication to detail helped provide me with everything I wanted for my wedding day. She listened to all the things I wanted and added her our professional advice. I wanted my floral arrangements to be taken home by my guests and she allowed for that to happen. She also pinned my grandparents handkerchiefs to my floral bouquets which added such a personal touch. She really is a creative and talented florist and I’m so excited to keep my flowers growing in my own home.
I have used Denice's services for both my wedding and a baby shower. I was blown away by the flowers for both events! I like to get creative with lots of color and elements and Denice is the perfect person to execute the designs. She is easy to communicate with, listens to your vision, and is very professional. I want to have more major events just so I can have Denice's beautiful arrangements created again! Denice and her team are AMAZING.
Denice was amazing to work with! From our first consultation to day of delivery, everything went so smoothly & our florals made our day even more special. If you're looking for a florist - cannot recommend her enough!
Denice completely exceeded my expectations! All the flower arrangements we’re absolutely beautiful! I was a little nervous because I didn’t give a ton of photos so I didn’t know how well she would execute on my vision but she did an incredible job! I kept my bouquet to be used as flowers in my home until they die and most of my bridesmaids wanted to take theirs home as well!
Denice was absolutely wonderful to work with! At our first meeting, I truly had no idea what I needed or wanted in terms of flowers. I'm not someone who knows much about flowers so I really appreciated her expertise! Denice was kind, helpful, communicative, and very responsive! In terms of communication, she was one of the best vendors we worked with. I always felt informed and like I knew what the next step was. On the wedding day, the flowers were beautiful! I received so many compliments all day on the flowers, including my bouquet, the centerpieces, and the greenery and florals that were on the gazebo. She even hand-delivered the bouquet to me while I was getting ready before she started working on everything else. Overall it was a great experience to work with Denice and I would highly recommend her!
Had such an amazing experience with Denice and Blythe! I really wasn't sure where I wanted to go with flowers but Denice was able to guide me through the process. Due to work conflicts, Denice worked mostly with my fiance but got everything she needed and everything turned out wonderfully! Incredibly reasonably priced with outstanding outcomes. So professional, friendly, and made my flower dreams come true!
I could not have been happier with my wedding flowers! Denice made my vision come to life perfectly, and she was wonderful to work with. Her floral arrangements and bouquets were fresh, and beautiful, and helped make my wedding everything I hoped it would be! She clearly has an attention to detail and a thoughtful approach. I would highly recommend Denice!
Denice was incredible!! She came up to the bridal suite to hand deliver my bouquet to me before getting started on the rest of the flowers. She was so kind and personable, and her arrangements were absolutely gorgeous! I gave a couple pictures as inspiration, and she did the best job! I couldn't recommend her enough!
Designs by Denice was my florist for my June wedding in Portland, and I cannot say enough good things about them!! The flowers were amazing, and made my ceremony so special. I was obsessed with the bouquet they created after only speaking vaguely about the vision I had. Everything from my ceremony arch, centerpieces, boutonnières, to cake flowers were perfect!
Denise was so easy to work with! My cousin got married in July 2022 and I got married December 2022. My cousin used Denise and her artificial florals in July and everything for her wedding turned out beautifully! I then used Denise in December with fresh florals and it was everything I dreamed of! All of my reference photos came from Pinterest and Denise was able to replicate them with ease. The florals on both of our wedding days was gorgeous and we received so many compliments in regard to them. I would recommend Denise and her team for any of your floral needs! She was quick to respond, pleasant to work with, and very helpful!
Denice was easy to work with! All the floral arrangements were exactly what we asked for! She arrived on time to the venue and was very detail oriented. Denice was easy to reach for questions. I would recommend working with her!
Denice was so easy to work with she made all our floral dreams come true. My bouquet was so beautiful and she made sure it was perfect before she left. Denice and her team was by far one of the easiest and most professional vendors we got to work with. She made this whole process so easy and stress-free. Highly will recommend Denice to all of our friends and family who are getting married next. TYSM for everything, every single flower arrangement was incredible and exactly how we envisioned everything would be.
Denice and her team brought my flower vision to LIFE!! She was so incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding planning journey & truly understood my vision and made it a reality. I would HIGHLY recommend using Denice for your wedding or event as she was the best. Thank you so much Denice!
Denice was helpful in coming up with a plan for the venue. She’s one of the very few florist approved to do some of the floral decor at the venue used. She did the flowers for the rehearsal dinner and wedding - all were beautifully done! She was prompt and quick! I would definitely use Denice again for whatever event!
Highly recommend Denice and her team. Great communication, timely, and professional. She perfectly brought my vision for florals to life. She created the most amazing, massive live greenery backdrop for our ceremony that was absolutely beautiful. And all for very reasonable pricing. Very grateful to have chosen her team for our big day!
Was completely blown away by the quality of the arrangements as well as the set up for our wedding! Her work is totally worth the price and she was wonderful to work with.
Denice and her team, did an amazing job once again!!! As soon as I started planing my wedding I knew I wanted to work with her, flowers where one of my most important details in my wedding sine I love flowers, so there was no other florist for me. We have used her in all our family weddings since 2010, and she did not disappoint right away she understood my vision and I knew that even though I only gave her a few inspiration details she would make my dreams come true and she did.
I may be very biased in my review because Denice is my dear friend BUT, she really is a great human and amazing flower artist. I've loved watching her business grow over the years. It was so fun to get to have her do my own wedding flowers last summer. With so many options and ideas she helped me plan the perfect colorful beach florals. We had a unique venue and she made it magical! I can't recommend her enough. She makes the process easy and fun. She is the easy choice for your wedding florist.
Denice was fantastic to work with! I started working with her in 2019 and when COVID ruined our original 2020 wedding plans, Denice was willing to move over our deposit to a new date without hesitation. Wedding planning is already a stressful time, and knowing she was flexible and super accommodating really resonated with me. I also provided her with my budget, and she did whatever it took to stick within that range. She has a great reputation for a reason!
We finally had our dream wedding this past Saturday, May 14th, and Denice and her team designed the most beautiful floral arrangements! I sent her tons of sample pictures of what I was looking for, and she was able to execute them all, including our arbor. On our day, the weather was questionable, and she was also willing to move the arbor from the outside to the inside at the very last minute, if needed. Luckily, the weather turned out perfect for an outside ceremony (as originally planned). But this is just an example of how sweet and easy she was to work with, and how special she made me feel. Not to mention, she was SUPER responsive and was willing to modify my several change requests/additions to the original contract!
I wish I had another event to plan, just so I could utilize Denice and her team again! I will be sure to recommend her to all of my future-bride friends! Thank you again, Denice for being an OUTSTANDING vendor to work with! Our wedding "redo" was absolutely perfect.
Denice and her team are incredible! I had a vision and they were able to completely blow my mind with their beautiful work.
I had a budget and they were able to offer great suggestions on alternatives.
The statement piece she and her team made for an outdoor fireplace was STUNNING
Denice is amazing! She is so talented, my flowers exceeded my expectations. The flowers were absolutely beautiful.
Denice was SO incredible to work with! I didn't give her a lot of information to go off of and somehow she STILL managed to give me the flowers of my dreams. I really appreciated her promptness in response time, even when I had to change my center pieces two months before the wedding. She helped me through the whole process. She is simply amazing and I would recommend her to anyone!
Denice was so incredible to work with. She made the entire process so simple and made my entire vision come to life!! I would 100% recommend her to any other soon-to-be bride I know.
Denice is amazing! Our wedding got postponed twice due to the pandemic and Denice supported us through that every step of the way with her kindness and compassion. Seeing her on the wedding day during setup was one of the first times I, as the bride, could take a deep breath because I knew she had all the floral handled and boy did she. I walked into an absolute stunning masterpiece. She took the vision out of my head and made it a reality. Her floral arrangements, bouquets and decor truly exceeded all expectations. We consider ourselves very lucky to have found someone like Denice and Distinctive Designs as it is businesses like this that truly make the wedding magic happen. Thank you Denice!!!!
I loved working with Denice! She communicated promptly, understood exactly the look that I was going for, and the flower arrangements turned out beautifully and held up throughout the wedding day. I highly recommend her work!
Denice was a dream to work with! Her passion for her craft, her creativity, professionalism, guidance and kindness throughout the process was amazing. I felt confident leaving her to have creative freedom with our flowers and she did not disappoint. My bouquet was absolutely gorgeous, our arch flowers were more than we could have dreamed of and all the details were so well thought out. She truly brought our vision to life and I would hire her again and again- worth every penny!
Denice- thank you for making our dreams a reality, it really was perfection!
Denice was so great to work with. Communication was easy, and she knew exactly what to do with very little direction. Definitely recommend her for all your flower needs!
Denice was truly amazing from day one. She had so many ideas to help me create the day of our dreams. She answered all my questions and gave me suggestions as she saw fit. On the day of my husband and I were taken back by how gorgeous everything was. I couldn’t imagine having anyone more perfect for our big day!
Denice was amazing from beginning to end. She was calm, accommodating, and on top of every detail of my request. She was even so kind to come up with some beautiful concepts to make our family style setting unique and unforgettable in all of the best ways. I would absolutely work with Denice again and can’t say enough good tho ha about her designs.
There are not enough stars here- I would give Denise around 10 stars! Not only did Denise make the process easy, she truly listened to what I wanted- all the way down to the very small details. I asked for a few types of meaningful florals and leaves and let her choose the direction to go in, and she KILLED IT. It's hard to upstage the scenery in a garden nursery, but her florals did so effortlessly. She even built custom stands for the table centerpieces! I truly cannot recommend anyone higher than I can for Denise!
Denise made ordering flowers so easy! She is the nicest person and has tons of great ideas. Denise went above and beyond! They turned out better than I ever could have imagined. THANK YOU DENISE!
Denise is AMAZING! My sisters & I all worked with her for our weddings throughout the years. She does absolutely stunning work and she is so creative! Denise is super flexible and created my dream florals! Cannot rate her highly enough!!
Ugh I cannot put into words how amazing Denise was!! As a very indecisive person, I had about 1,000 ideas of what I wanted and she helped me narrow them down and the final product was STUNNING.
Between my perfect bouquet, unique ‘half moon’ style ceremony decor, and bridesmaid hoops everything was perfect.
I had an issue with the welcome sign I ordered having a flaw (ordered off Etsy) and Denise worked her magic last minute to place flowers in the perfect position to help cover it. So so amazing! Recommend 5x over!
Denice was recommended to me by another florist shop in town that was booked out for my wedding date. I am SO grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Denice, she is so kind and incredibly talented! She really brought my vision of bright, happy wildflowers to life. My bouquet and arbor arrangement were absolutely stunning ... all of the wedding guests were commenting on how beautiful the arrangements were! I also purchased DIY flower bunches from Denice so I could put together the table centerpieces with my family the night before the wedding. I will definitely reach out to Denice the next time I need flower arrangements :)
Denice's flowers were BEAUTIFUL! Not only is she great at what she does, but she also is very responsive and truly cares about her clients. She met with me twice prior to the big day (once virtually and once in person) to go over the details of everything. She crafts every bouquet and arrangement herself, so I knew I was getting the best when I chose her to be my florist. She even put the figurine I wanted in my bouquet and made it look good! Trust me, it was an ugly figurine, but I still wanted it...I am so happy with all the florals in my wedding and I can't wait to see them all in my photos to come. Thank you, Denice!
Denice was so great to work with and designed an absolutely beautiful bouquet for my wedding. I added a few last minute items to my original order for my wedding party and she was very accommodating. During the stress of planning a wedding it’s refreshing to have a vendor you can count on. I highly recommend her for any of your floral needs.
Denice was such a pleasure to work with! My fiancé and I had a pretty strict budget and she was able to create absolute magic within the tight parameters we had. Her flowers were stunning and more than I could have imagined!
Denice was simply fantastic to work with! I somewhat knew what I wanted but wasn't totally sure and she was able to help me really hone in on arrangements that fit the vision I had for the rest of my wedding perfectly! She also so gracefully helped me through a small last minute freak out I had (which she also executed beautifully). I cannot recommend her enough. She's incredibly kind, warm, and a truly superb, professional, experienced florist.
Denice was wonderful to work with and delivered exactly the flowers we were hoping for! When she delivered my bridal bouquet it was exactly what I had envisioned! We had an outdoor wedding followed by a small family dinner indoors after the reception. Denice decorated the gazebo outside beautifully and brought some of the celebration inside by decorating our dinner table as well. I would 100% recommend Denice to make your floral wedding dreams come true.
Denice did a fantastic job! The flowers were stunning & perfect. she was professional & on time everything was perfect! Highly recommended!
Denice was incredible to work with. Not only is she extremely artistic and talented in her floral designs, but she is kind, friendly and professional when it came to helping plan our wedding! Especially considering all the rules and regulations of covid. She was a pleasure and made the whole experience easy for us. She responds quickly, helped with setup, deliveries and takedown. You wont go wrong choosing Denice!
Thank you so much!

Denice was an absolute pleasure to work with! She helped make my wedding so beautiful and my bouquet was PERFECT! She is responsive, reliable, and trustworthy. Our wedding was not easy to plan due to COVID-19 and then pacific wildfires the week of, but Denice made sure things went smoothly and checked in with us frequently. I highly recommend Denice!
I am blown away with how amazing Denice did at our wedding! First, we were suppose to get married 4/18/20 and had to change it to 8/15/20 because of COVID and she was so accommodating with our date change and made herself available! When it came to it, I had shown her pictures of what I wanted and it all turned out so dreamy! She made my ideas come to life all the while was working her booty off setting it up in 100 degree weather. She even made two trips so the flowers wouldn’t get droopy or over heated while being in the sun. I wanted SO many flowers at my wedding to the point that everywhere you looked it had to be covered in flowers or greenery and that vision absolutely came to life! I highly recommend her.
Denice did an amazing job on my wedding florals. During wedding planning, it can be difficult searching for a florists, because pricing varies so much and it’s not something posted online. Denice does AMAZING work and is also affordable/ reasonably priced. During our initial meeting, Denice and I spoke about what I was wanting for my wedding flowers. She thought of everything! From aisle flowers to my bouquet, to the flower girl petals. Denice took notes of everything we spoke about and made notes about special flowers we wanted to include. Denice went above and beyond my expectations! She came to the venue and set everything up and I was amazed at how gorgeous her creations were! It was everything we spoke about but so much better! If you need a florist, please check out Denice. She is very kind, wonderful to work with, listens to your vision, and creates beautiful pieces!! She really values your wants and desires for what you’re hoping your florals will look like. She also doesn’t cost an arm and a leg for it either. I highly recommend Denice. I loved my wedding flowers so much that I didn’t do a bouquet toss because I wanted to keep my bouquet for myself!
Absolutely beautiful bridal and bridesmaids bouquets! I was on a tighter budget for my wedding but loved Denice's work, so I wanted to get at least some of my flowers from her. I wish I could have had her do the whole wedding, because her bouquets were amazing! She is so easy to work with, ordered me bulk flowers for my DIY project and delivered my bouquets to us! Highly recommend!
Denice’s flowers exceeded my expectations on my wedding day! I wasn’t sure if I was articulating what I was wanting with my flowers but apparently the message was received because they were absolutely perfect! Denice was SUPER responsive to emails and questions and was so helpful during all our meetings. I went back and forth with a few different design options/decisions and Denice was so polite and patient with my indecisiveness. When planning a wedding for the first time there is so much you just don’t know and Denice was happy to walk us through everything, every step, with nothing but kindness. On our wedding day she hand delivered my bouquet and it was so great to see her, it was such a nice personal touch. I can’t recommend Denice highly enough.
DENICE IS FABULOUS (SO ARE HER DESIGNS)! First wedding of Covid-19 and Denice took all the worries out of the floral component. My daughter had a half outdoor half indoor venue and I wasn't sure how the flowers would be seen and complement the large spread out space. Her work blew all expectations through the roof! I don't know which was more spectacular: the arch floral, table center pieces, large entrance arrangements, OR the aisle flower arrangements. She didn't know which flowers would be available due to covid, and Denice chose perfection! This lady is super easy to work with and does amazing work!!!
DENICE IS INCREDIBLE! I wasn’t sure how I wanted the flowers for my wedding but gave her the colors and some tid bits here and there and she created the most beautiful table arrangements, isle decorations, bouquets, and arbor for my special day. She is so talented and so awesome to work with. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and works over time to deliver the perfect end result.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Denice for my wedding. Not only is she super talented and knowledgable when it comes to floral arrangements and centerpieces, she also has the biggest, kindest heart. Her work is absolutely breath-taking. You will not be disappointed if you get the chance to work with her for any occasion.
I worked with Denice for my wedding floral and I cannot say enough about the experience. I LOVED how my arrangements and bouquet turned out! She helped me figure out the ceremony and reception decor. When we went with the "plan B" indoor ceremony option due to iffy weather, she arranged the candles and flower around the venue fireplace and I think it came out even more magical than our outdoor plan. She takes great pride in her work and it really shows in the arrangements and decor pieces. Personally, she is so lovely and professional to work with, and our other vendors love working with her, too. Highly recommended!
Denice is an amazing florist! She is so thoughtful and talented at her work. She designed so many beautiful floral arrangements for my wedding. She listened to what I wanted and put care into each piece. I was filled with joy on my wedding day to see all the beautiful flowers! Many of my guests commented on the lovely arrangements too! Thank you so much, Denice!
I was absolutely blown away with how amazing all of my flowers turned out! Denice is seriously a rock star! The amount of thought and care she puts into every detail truly makes the flowers turn out to be everything you dream of. I am so grateful for how beautiful she made my day. Specifically my bouquet was incredible and way exceeded my expectations! I found this little pearl detail she put in the middle of this beautiful ribbon around my bouquet that seriously brought me to tears. You would be absolutely lucky to work with this incredible lady. She is so kind and puts so much love into what she does and it really shows! Thank you Denice for giving me such a beautiful day!
I was blown away by all of the gorgeous flowers Denice designed for my wedding! She did my arbor arrangements and bouquets for myself and my bridesmaids. All of the colors were absolutely stunning and were beyond what I had imagined. The consultations we had were wonderful and she made me feel so at ease. My day was made all the more special because of all her hard work and beautiful designs!
Denice from Distinctive Designs was a delight to work with! I am not a flower guru and only came to her with a color palate and a general idea of what I needed. Denice was able to take my scattered thoughts and bring them to life. My bouquet could not have been more beautiful! The head table was just what I envisioned: a farm table with a long garland running down the center and flowers expertly placed. All our other arrangements were gorgeous and I received numerous compliments on them. Denice also helped with set up of the centerpieces, as well as, placement of all the flowers throughout the venue. Thank you Denice! You were fabulous!
Denice is absolutely AMAZING! I don't have much knowledge about flowers, but knew I wanted something pretty but minimal. I let her know the color scheme I was going for, but didn't have a preference for the types of flowers. The arrangements that showed up on my wedding day completely blew me away. My bouquet was better than I ever imagined, and the arbor and centerpieces were the minimal but gorgeous look I was hoping for. I received so many compliments on the flowers! Not only was it beautiful, but Denice also set up everything on the wedding day so I didn't have to worry about anything. She is incredibly easy to work with, responds quickly, and is of course talented. Can't recommend her enough!!
Denice was absolutely wonderful to work with! She really understands what your vision is and was so easy to work with. She completely blew me away when I saw my flowers! She did an absolutely gorgeous arrangement for our cross and when she brought in my bouquet I was stunned. She truly is so talented! I would use her again and again. I couldn’t have asked for more beautiful flowers.
Denice was so wonderful to work with. She is top notch! my flowers were beautiful beyond belief and she even came and took them down for us after so it was one less thing I had to worry about. Absolutely stunning work!
