Distinctive Designs by Denice

uch with her, she made sure to have the flowers that I specifically wanted in my bouquet (lisianthus instead of roses), and offered suggestions to go with my theme when I didn't know what I wanted to do (like all foliage bouquets for my bridesmaids!). She made sure that there was nothing for us to worry about on the day of the ceremony! We scheduled a time for someone to pick up the flowers for the wedding party and she delivered the rest of the flowers to the venue and set them up in the right places! No one had to run around frantically to get them in the right places! Overall, she was able to take an amazing day and make it stunning!

gorgeous, I didn’t want to put it down and my bridesmaids bouquets complemented mine beautifully and made my wedding picture stunning! Thank you Denice for making my wedding day beautiful!

ould definitely recommend!

from a good friend for Distinctive Designs by Denice. I couldn't believe it! She said she absolutely could provide all of my favorite flowers! I had high expectations, as any bride does, but when I arrived at the church, and saw my reception spot, I almost ruined my fancy makeup with happy tears! She blew me away! I walked right past my future husband, and straight to look at the flowers! I felt like a princess that day, surrounded with the most beautiful flowers and arrangements I have ever seen. Looking back on my wedding photos, there are just as many pictures of the flowers as people! :) Denice is amazing, timely, and she personally delivered my bridal bouquet. I could not thank her enough. Thank you, Destinctive Designs by Denice for making my wedding look like something out of a fairy tale. I have been recommending you to every future bride that I meet!

can't say enough good things about how awesome Denice is! I would recommend her to everyone!

vendors to make sure everything was taken care of. We didn't hire a professional wedding planner but Denice took on the role to make sure our special day went off without a hitch. Not only did she deliver with the flowers my wife wanted, but she coordinated with all the other vendors to make sure things were delivered on time and where they were supposed to be. She was quick to return phone calls and emails, and we never worried about anything Denice was responsible for. She took my wife's vision and articulated it perfectly - we still have the bouquet today! I highly recommend Denice without hesitation or reservations; she will not disappoint!

at I expected in person. The bridesmaid bouquets were just as I had hoped simple Lily’s to match my theme and color. She really takes budgets into close consideration and is able to work within your parameters. I was easily able keep in contact with her for any revisions to our order and color preferences. She has a welcoming personality and fun to work with. Her creativity really shines in all of her work. She delivers and sets up arrangements beautifully on wedding day, making sure all boutineers and corsages are labeled and given out accordingly and even went so far as to supply 2 for my husband so that it looked fresh all day. I can’t thank her enough for her generosity, and her willingness to keep our family happy with her beautiful work. I would happily recommend Denice and her team for all weddings and events.

expecting that because we’d gotten married in January). I cannot tell you how many compliments we got on the whole look of the venue after it was all set up. Denise was so easy to get a hold of, and she understood exactly what we needed. I highly recommend ❤️ Thank you so much Denise!

he day of the wedding I was really disappointed to see that she had not really understood my requests. There were specific flowers I asked her not to use that were used; flowers I wanted only in the bride's bouquet that were in every bouquet; and overall not the look I was going for or expecting. The colors weren't even right- I asked for plum and got a lot of hot pink/fuscia. I asked for dyed flowers to be used minimally in favor of natural colors and got tons of dyed flowers. On top of that, Denise dropped off the flowers at the venue on the day of without letting anyone know. As a result the boutonnieres and corsages didn't all make it to the right people. Some of them just sat in their boxes all day, unused. My own floral hairpiece didn't make it to me until minutes before the ceremony began, I didn't have them in any of the first look and other pre-wedding photos.

n arbor from scratch, she had many vases to choose from and she made delivery and drop off so easy. She is not only insanely talented, but she's cheerful and delightful to work with and very affordable. You will not be sorry if you choose her as your wedding florist. She took my vision and made it 100 times better. She's amazing. Thank you, Denise!

d accommodating with attention to detail matched by few. So very happy with this florist!! matched and rarely

bridal party and our parents. Highly recommend. Thank you!! Cory & Tony

ns had to be made day-of, the flowers still turned out great. Even my aunt who is a florist herself (not local) commented how wonderful the flowers were at our wedding!

ing look classic and timeless with her florals. She truely is a great person to work with!

xt day and I didn't get to enjoy it for longer than just the wedding! My mom however did enjoy it for many more days! We had 3 different table arrangements. They were all beautiful. Denise was so down to earth and really accommodating and completely in our budget. If you are getting married anywhere in the Salem area you'd be a fool not to use her!

y wedding day. I had rented vases for her to use, and she never once contacted me to get them. I ended up calling her, emailing her, and eventually going to her home 45 mins away to drop the vases off. At the wedding, she set up the flowers but never once said hi to me or my groom, nor asked us how everything looked- she just left! She never called me to double check everything, nor emailed me to set up a final check for everything. My wedding was peacock themed, and she forgot that she was supposed to put peacock feathers in the corsages, bouts, and centerpieces... I bought peacock feathers and paid for them to be shipped to her. I contacted her about how unhappy I was about my flowers twice- and have never gotten a reply not an apology. My fiance and I spent over $1000 on our flowers and did NOT get our money's worth. There was more... I could go on for hours about how unhappy I was with Distinctive designs. I definitely would NOT recommend.

only asked for boutineers, bouquets, corsages, a stag, and a head table centerpiece, but compared to another place from Albany I was getting more for my dollar and at better quality and design. I think you want it, Denise can handle it :) And my price for all of my flowers were nearly half of 1k :)
