We had an amazing experience with Dawn McFadden at East Beach Flowers for our wedding! Dawn brought our floral dreams to life with stunning simplicity and elegance. We absolutely loved the beautiful pot arrangements and the simple, elegant centerpieces that perfectly complemented our venue. The star of the show was my bridal bouquet—gorgeous beyond words, with every bloom thoughtfully arranged. Dawn’s attention to detail and her ability to translate our vision into reality made our day even more special. We are so grateful for her talent and dedication. Highly recommend Dawn and East Beach Flowers for any wedding or event!

Dawn did a spectacular job on the flowers for my wedding. The only florals we were planning on having were the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages, so it was important to us that what we had steal the show. And BOY did they! I actually wasn't planning on preserving my bouquet, but once I saw what Dawn had put together for us, I scrambled to find someone to do a last minute preservation job so I could keep them forever.
Not only was Dawn incredibly responsive in the lead up to our big day, but she contributed one of the most beautiful elements. Would absolutely recommend working with her for any of your floral needs!

Dawn was an exceptional vendor for us and the florals for our event were phenomenal. I had countless guests and strangers come up to compliment the flowers! Every arrangement was exactly what we wanted and exceeded our expectations! We had a couple of curveballs for our ceremony venue and she was extremely flexible throughout the entire process to ensure we were taken care of. I would highly recommend East Beach Flowers to anyone looking for arrangements!

Dawn from East Beach Flowers was very professional, very easy to work with. She created the exact vision we planned for our beachside wedding, both outdoor and indoor! Delivery was spot on and went without a hitch. The centerpieces looked incredible, I'm glad we went with the mix of high and low centerpieces in the ballroom, it was so elegant and luxurious! Prices super reasonable. Cannot recommend enough! Will definitely book with her in the future.

Dawn was amazing to work with. She listened carefully to my decor style and made my wedding arrangements to fit our theme beautifully. When we had a death in the family before our wedding, she turned the corsage into an arrangement for the memorial table. She was thoughtful and caring and if I had to do it all over again, I would absolutely hire her again. Thank you.

Dawn's flower arrangements were beautiful and exactly what I envisioned for my wedding day. We told her we were trying to keep to a minimalist decor due to the incredible architecture of our venue and she met our request with vigor. Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Look no further and her prices are very fair.

Dawn made our wedding beautiful !! She was extremely flexible and responsive to all my questions and requests . She was helpful when deciding what type of flowers/arrangements we wanted and let me bounce ideas off her . She also helped me stay within my budget by making tiny tweaks to the set-up. Her prices were very reasonable and the result of her work was truly astounding ! My husband and I were truly shocked when we saw how gorgeous everything looked , because we didn’t think our budget would allow for much . She was also able to travel to set-up at our location, which was super convenient because we wanted to work with her despite our wedding being in Barhamsville, VA . Dawn surprised me with a pin on my bridal bouquet with a forget-me-not flower , in memory of my late mother . I feel like this is the difference between hiring just a vendor and hiring someone who truly loves what they do and the people they work with, and truly cares about making your day perfectly special for you ! Book her now, she’s worth every penny !

Dawn did a fantastic job with my small wedding order. We got married at the Botanical Garden and since flowers were in bloom, we only went with personal flowers. One bridal bouquet, two corsages, and two boutonnieres were ordered and they were beautiful and at the perfect price.
We were going with a music festival thing, so bright and colorful flowers were in order. Dawn delivered perfectly, with a gorgeous set of florals that were across the rainbow. Even my husband thought his was nice and he's more into the plants in the backyard. I would highly recommend East Beach Flowers.

Dawn did an AMAZING job for my wedding. Everyone commented on how beautiful the flower arrangements were! Dawn met with me to make sure my vision came to life and was so patient and accommodating with several changes along the way. One of the best decisions I made wedding planning was to book Dawn as my florist. I cannot recommend her enough!

When my husband and I were looking for a florist for our elopement, East Beach Flowers stood out to us as soon as we saw their image gallery. My favorite color is a very dark teal / prussian blue. I had contacted other vendors to see if anything could be done to incorporate that color into our arrangements. At the same time, I didn't want blue orchids because they would introduce too much purple into the color scheme. Most of the florists I contacted just said there weren't many blue flowers and sent me very generic looking samples with lots of white and greenery. I resigned myself to have very beautiful flowers on my wedding day that weren't what I really wanted.
Then I found Dawn from East Beach Flowers. Her Facebook page contained several examples of arrangements with gorgeous deep blue flowers with greenish tints, perfect for what I wanted. When I reached out to her, she explained that she is able to dye white flowers to get that beautiful color. Since my accent color is rose gold, she also suggested spraying a champagne colored rose with rose gold metallic paint. I was super impressed that she was not limited to the standard colors that flowers come in; she used various techniques to tailor the flowers to my wedding colors. My husband's tie ended up matching the rose in his boutonniere EXACTLY even though we never saw the roses until the day of the wedding.
I also asked Dawn if she would be willing to do a tablescape for our reception table. Since we were eloping (just the two of us) we didn't want to hire a separate event designer. Dawn created a GORGEOUS reception table for us. I can't wait for our photographer to send the photos so I can update this review with them. We brainstormed and selected a number of beautiful items from Etsy. I simply could not believe the result when I finally saw it after the ceremony. It honestly took my breath away.
Another thing that I appreciated greatly is that Dawn is not only knowledgeable and artistic, she is also extremely professional. She was so responsive, kind, and helpful. All qualities you definitely want your wedding vendors to have. She secured our arrangements to the wedding gazebo in the middle of gale force winds. Our videographer commented that he was surprised it stayed on at all. We are pleased to recommend East Beach Flowers unreservedly and wholeheartedly.

Working with Dawn was nothing short of amazing! She was very responsive, understanding and accommodating given all of our changes due to covid and adjustments in bridal party size. She took my inspiration pictures and absolutely blew me away with her talent. You can’t go wrong with Dawn and she is worth every penny!

East beach flowers was amazing. She did my daughters flowers for her beach wedding July 18 2020. She sent pictures as she was making them with options. My daughter also forgot her little Flower girl basket back home in Pa and she hand made a basket from ribbon. It was the cutest and she didn’t even charge us for it ❤️❤️ You won’t be disappointed. Would love to share the beautiful pictures but not sure how
