e just say the florals were absolutely stunning. The owner Dawn was responsive and so easy to work with. Since we had a waterside venue, I wanted my floral theme to be 'beachy fall' and she absolutely nailed it. I got so many compliments on all of the arrangements and bridal bouquet. I also wanted to upcycle some of my arrangements from the ceremony to be used as decor for the reception and Dawn knew exactly how to accommodate it. I would highly recommend East Beach Flowers for any special occasion or wedding. We could not have been happier with our florals and they truly helped make our day perfect and special. Thank you!!!!
Absolutely amazing! Highly highly recommend! Thank you!

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!

anted 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.

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!

er 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
Best experience ever! Flowers were exactly what was ordered and prices phenominal. The quality of her work is superb. Used her for two weddings.
