Duarte Floral Design

n amazing driftwood arch for us and used lanterns to line the aisle for our beach ceremony. She then repurposed everything from the ceremony to decorate our reception space. She even designed a lounge with wingback chairs, couch and pillows for our guests which was a huge hit. She is a consummate professional and is an expert in her field. She is a pleasure to work with.

dal bouquet and bridesmaids flowers made myself and several of my bridesmaids cry. She is an absolute visionary. Believe me when I say that of you are debating hiring her, debate no more. DO IT. Do yourself a favor. She will surpass any expectations that you could ever have and absolutely blow you away. It also helps that she is one of the nicest people that you will ever meet. I am genuinely in awe of her and this review does not even begin to do her justice.

rk with. Prior to the wedding she took the time to meet with us to discuss our vision for the wedding. She nailed it! She graciously handled a last minute addition to the wedding party. I felt so much joy when I walked down the aisle saw the incredible temple of love “arch” she created. My bouquet was the most beautiful floral arrangement I’ve ever seen. Everything Monika touched was gorgeous. We have received nonstop complements on her work. We feel so lucky to have had the best floral design team ever create our special day. We highly recommend working with Duarte Floral. ❤️

e to replicate beautifully as well as inform us which flowers to choose based on look and price etc... very informative about flowers and which are best to use. Very responsive via email and phone. They are familiar with Key West and our venue at the Hemingway Home along with our cake shop we used for florals on our wedding cake. Definitely recommend.

reated for our special day.

a was very responsive with all of my questions and definitely made me less stressed. I loved my flowers so much I am having them pressed into a frame. Cannot recommend this florist enough.

ly patient + accommodating + adaptable as our wedding and floral plans drastically changed and she still gave us the most perfect floral display that we ever could have hoped for on our amended budget. We managed to do almost all of our conversations virtually and she was always available for quick back + forth emails, amended contracts, etc. I was brought to tears coming down the aisle and seeing the arch + monsterra arrangement that we had spent two years talking about finally coming to life. The tears came again seeing the beautiful tables down the smallest detail from the candles, the pineapple vases, the gorgeous whites + greens, the gold chargers. We even did mini pineapple boutonnieres for the groomsmen + groom that she flew in from Japan. I truly cannot thank Monika enough for making our day absolutely beautiful.

our wedding table I was amazed at how beautiful everything looked. She has such an eye for color and knew the best flowers to pick to pull out the colors from my bridesmaids dresses. The whole team at Duarte was extremely professional and went above any beyond. When my husband and his groomsmen were having trouble getting the boutonnieres on, Monika came over to pin them on their suits. She also adjusted my bouquet last minute when I asked if we could make it smaller. Their team is amazing! You wont regret picking them as your florist.

ed elegant and sophisticated arrangements that were even better than my lofty expectations, including a 10 foot wide archway of white hydrangeas, and an 8 foot tall cascading "white flower tower" which was the centerpiece of our reception. Truly spectacular! You will want to see photos of her exquisite arrangements. We recommend Duarte Floral Design without hesitation.

out the style and aesthetic I envisioned: romantic, lush, dreamy, “like a fresh-picked bouquet from a seaside garden”… Monika accomodated all of my requests while working with me to keep costs down. The final product was magical— our breathtaking flowers set the perfect tone for our wedding day, and really brought me so much joy. If you’re getting married in Key West and want your flowers to look/feel like living art, there’s no question about it: hire Duarte Floral Design. They’re simply the best!

le flowers. Our flowers could not have been more beautiful and I could not be more happy with the quality of work and the professionalism of Duarte Floral. 10 stars!!!

come to life. The day after the wedding I stared in awe at the large flower arrangement I brought back to my room. I could have never imagined the beauty and joy King Protea's, Pincusions and Coontie Palms could bring me on my wedding day! Monika's company also provided beautiful lanterns, table numbers and welcome table decor. She also worked with me to ensure my bridal bouquet was precisely as I envisioned. Monika is one of the most talented florists I've ever encountered. I HIGHLY recommend choosing her company. She has a knack for listening to your ideas and turning them into a real life fairy tale. Choosing Duarte Floral was one of the best decisions we made!

n was an exceptional choice and I 10/10 recommend!

y easy to work with. I was out of state and able to FaceTime with them to pick out the details from their studio as well as view a table setting.

our first meeting I was sold on her artistry. It is so clear that she is a true artist in all the floral work that she does. She had all the insight on the types of flowers we could use and the exact look I wanted. We spoke over the phone and she walked me through the entire estimate so I was comfortable with it. She wanted to make sure I was onboard but I told her I trusted her to make all the right decisions and she did. I sent her a few photos of what I was looking for and she created the most dreamy of a fuchsia filled wedding I have ever seen. I must say I winced a bit at the price of my florals (I did ask for a hanging feature and orchids were the main flower so it makes sense) but it was beyond what I was expecting. The day of the wedding we were all getting dressed as floral after floral after floral passed us by. I was so excited to see the final product and it was amazing. There is no way anyone else would have been able to create such a beautiful atmosphere as she did. Everyone was raving about the flowers for days. Thank you Monika for your art, creativity and the most beautiful wedding ever! - A&B Simmons

, warm and wonderful to work with. I wish for every bride to have the good fortune to have Monika’s designs be the centerpiece of the most important day in her life. My daughter was a beautiful bride, but Duarte’s floral arrangements, bouquet, and décor made her and her wedding look like a dream. Please, moms … choose Duarte and you will never regret it. The value for what you receive is amazing – Monika is truly an artist. Thank you, Monika!

all Monika was such a pleasure to work with. Everything we did was over the phone but she completely understood my vision and made my wedding look like a pintrest photo. I only told her I wanted bright flowers with 3 hanging structures in the middle of the room. WOW!!! It was perfect. When working with Monika she provided me with a detailed flower list so I could google each flower to see the color and shape. We went through each flower to make sure it hit my vision (by the way, everything she picked out was perfect). We also discussed different center pieces and design elements for each table. I wish I could post photos to this review because my words do not do it justice. Absolutely, 100% recommend Durante Floral Design.

than what I always wanted! Dream drop dead gorgeous arrangement! Same for my bridesmaids, flower girls crown, church decor and centerpieces! We had to move the date of our wedding forward which lead us to have a little details uncovered, like the flower baskets and Monika was so gentil on lending it to us. They will work with you, your pallet of colors, your decoration, your needs, wishes and they will give you advices until you find the best combination of flowers for your big day! Great people to work with! Highly recommended as they are reasonable in prices as well! Thank you guys, all the best!!!!

ce estimate based on what I told them and it was incredibly reasonable. When the flowers were delivered on my wedding day, I was blown away. They were perfect. Exactly what I had in mind, but better :) Our total was ,$1,500 for 6 bridesmaids bouquets, a bridal bouquet and ceremony decor, including set up and take down.
