Shanda and her team were incredible! They were so patient with me throughout the wedding planning process as I was trying to refine the vision for our day and what florals I wanted...
. They were also extremely respectful of our budget which was SO appreciated. I made so many changes up until the change deadline and there was never any pushback from the team - they graciously incorporated my changes even though I'm sure it was a headache for them! At the final walkthrough Shanda was so kind and took so much care in pairing the floral color palette with our linens and the venue. The florals on the day of our wedding were more beautiful than I ever could have imagined! We got so many compliments - we would definitely recommend Shanda and team!
Shanda was wonderful to work with from start to finish! I didn't have a very clear vision of my floral design and she was able to interpret my broad ideas into a beautiful proposal...
that executed perfectly for our wedding day. The wedding florals were unique and artistic, adding much needed design flare after our wedding was moved into a tent because of rain. The guests loved taking photos with the floral arch and the Flor de Casa team was so helpful in ensuring everything still looked gorgeous despite the last minute rain plan changes. We'd definitely recommend Shanda to anyone having a wedding in the DMV!
Nothing but great things to say about Flor de Casa designs. They listened to my wants and ideas about my floral vision, suggested creative approaches, and were able to come up wit...
h a really stunning melding of classic color palates with more modern floral shapes and arrangements. Their responsive and easy communication made the planning process feel really seamless. The load in and execution was quick and efficient, and they worked respectfully within the restrictions of the historic house venue. Absolutely nothing was better than seeing their designs come to life on the day of our wedding- every bouquet and arrangement was perfect and the blooms they selected were beautiful and made a visual impact, without overpowering or competing with the other elements of our tablescapes or venue's historic decor. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for a fresh, design-centered approach, where creativity and thoughtfulness result in gorgeous floral creations.
If you're looking for a rockstar florist, Shanda is your girl. From our first zoom consultation, I was obsessed with her incredible designs. She was so easy to work with through al...
l stages of wedding planning and design changes/updates. Our venue had incredibly high ceilings which posed a bit of a last minute logistical challenge, but Shanda had it figured out in no time. She also knocked our unique escort display out of the park! I'll never forget how excited I was during our wedding day watching her and the FDC team from the bridal suite as they decorated our ceremony location. Our wedding guests still bring up how beautiful our florals were! In addition to her incredible talent, Shanda has the best bubbly, upbeat personality which was so refreshing during the sometimes stressful wedding planning process. If you want a day you'll never forget with the best florist around, make sure Flor de Casa is part of your day! Thank you for everything Shanda!!
AMAZING WORK! They made my venue so beautiful - I was so happy I found Shanda and her team. I gave them very little direction on what I was looking for and they exceeded all expect...
ations. I would work with them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a florists to make their dream wedding come to life!
Shanda was BEYOND AMAZING!!! We instantly connected from our first meeting. Her personality was so calming and bubbly and assured me that I could get the wedding of my dreams withi...
n my budget. We had a Covid wedding that was postponed and she was very understanding and we had no issues with her as a vendor. Her communication throughout the entire process was very professional and I never had to wonder what she was doing or felt neglected. During the walk through of the venue she appeared to be more excited than I was lol and it truly made my day. The day of the wedding she constantly complimented me and was present for any questions I had. She was willing to help in other areas as well. The florals were breathtaking!!!!! The vibrant colors and unique touches were more than I could have imagined and I was speechless. We still continue to get compliments and requests for her information. She is fabulous book her now!
We loved working with Shanda and her team. Their pricing was on par with other floral design vendors so that was an easy sell but choosing vendors is about more than price. Persona...
lity matters! They were very responsive starting from our first inquiry and genuinely made us feel like they wanted to work with us as much as we wanted to work with them. This makes a big difference. We decided to go with Flor de Casa's floral design and decor package and also worked with them on our wedding design concept. The latter was especially helpful. Over the course of 2 calls and a few weeks, Shanda helped us think through the tabletop rentals that would bring our overall vision to life. In the end, we ended up with beautiful arrangements, special touches like greenery on the chandeliers and a unique ceremony arch, and specialty linens that we would've never found without Shanda. Their team was easy to work with and very flexible as we finalized our guest count, layout, and tweaked our floral needs. They were truly a pleasure to work with!
Hi, my name is Josh and I'm writing it the capacity of a photographer and fellow-vendor.
Shanda's team works with purpose, empathy and efficiency. I've been in this profession fo...
r quite some time and I can't help but compare Shanda's performance with other professionals. She looks after the event as a whole, properly considering every facet of the day.
They're creatives, this is very important when dealing with fellow artisans that work for you on your wedding day. She's never rushed the portrait sessions throughout the day, allowing the couple to enjoy the process. If you're like the rest of us, we don't look forward to picture-taking. Someone waiting for you while tapping their toes until you finish doesn't help. :)
There are so many more good things to say as I'm sure you'll see from the other reviews. Cheers.
I researched potential florists for months until I came across Shanda & her company, Flor de Casa Designs. I followed her Instagram as well as her blog and the first thing that app...
ealed to me was her personality. She is such a beautiful soul and it comes through in all her work. The first time we spoke was during a phone consultation on my way home in a commuter bus and I wasn't sure I fully expressed my thoughts but when we finally met in person, I was beyond impressed because of how professional and organized she is and also because of how much she actually listened to EXACTLY what I wanted from only one conversation. We immediately hired Shanda and her team as our florist then added on her decor services and finally hired her to be our day-of coordinator. Shanda is poised and knows exactly how to execute.
I loved working with Shanda for our wedding! I was first impressed by the proposal she drew up for our bouquets and corsages for our wedding. She was extremely flexible with paymen...
ts and responsive with emails throughout the process. When I arrived in the bridal suite on my wedding day, i was blown away at our bouquets! They were more than i could have dreamed of. They were the perfect compliment to our modern romance theme and look beautiful in our pictures. It's like she took all of my favorite photos from my pinterest board and brought them to life. I would recommend her services for any wedding or major event. Thank you Shanda!
We hired Flor de Casa for our wedding and the lead florist/owner Shanda was great! She was very attentive to what style we were going for and you could tell was very passionate abo...
ut her industry and her work. Our wedding was a very rainy day, but she still delivered and set up on tome. When I got to the venue, everything was beautiful and i was glad we allocated money towards this service. It truly made a difference.
Shanda was absolutely wonderful! I spoke to a few florists but didn't feel like I could really pin down my "vision". After an hour on the phone with Shanda, I knew EXACTLY what I w...
anted, and I felt so at ease knowing I had her on my team! Shanda was wonderful to work with. Insightful, professional, hilarious, and always super flexible! Our flowers turned out gorgeous and she even made everything work with our crazy timeline. Hiring Shanda was one of the best decisions we made!
Shanda is amazing!!
Shanda was the first vendor I booked for my wedding. Her vision for floral design is mind-blowing! I was not looking forward to planning my wedding at all (in...
fact I was dreading it). After meeting Shanda and discussing the style I like and the colors I wanted she quickly created the most beautiful imagery for how she envisioned my wedding. Her passion and excitement to design the flowers and flower installment for my wedding made me excited for my wedding ( I didn't think it was possible).
Shanda is one of those people that you meet and within 30 seconds you can tell she is extremely qualified, talented and passionate about what she does. And you know you are in great hands. I seriously cannot speak more highly of Shanda! My entire interaction and communication with Shanda was pleasant. She is understanding, flexible and she listens. She truly tries to achieve nothing less than perfection for her clients and it shows through her work. As soon as I booked Shanda, I knew she was going to go above and beyond to make my wedding venue beautiful, and she delivered! I was brought to tears (I'm not a crier) when I saw the flower arrangements and hanging installment she created. She is so overwhelmingly talented and a true pleasure to work with. She is very communicative and professional! Book Shanda and it will be the best decision you will never have to think about it again!!
Shanda is INCREDIBLE!! I planned my Northern Virginia wedding from Los Angeles, where I live. I relied heavily on the internet when searching for vendors as I was unable to attend ...
expos from across the country. I found Flor d Casa Designs through a Virginia weddings hashtag search on Instagram. Their photos immediately caught my eye and I knew I had to have their floral design for my wedding. Shanda was so easy to talk to, I felt immediately like we were friends. When we finally got a chance to meet for a site visit, I knew we were on the same page for what to do with the space. Shanda heard my vision and exceeded my expectations. I was getting married at a farm but wanted to bring some more modern/west coast elements in to the mix and she did just that. My bridal bouquet was AMAZING. Shanda recommended using King Protea flowers in my bouquet and each of the brides maids carried one. I have since had several inquires as to what type of flowers they were because people were obsessed. Guests at the wedding could not stop taking pictures with my arbor because of how beautiful Shanda made it look. Shanda made me feel so special leading up to and during my big day and I could not have asked for a better florist to work with!
To be honest, I did NOT think flowers were going to be important to me on my wedding day. I guess I just didn't realize what a difference a gorgeous bouquet really makes! Shanda is...
a true professional, and understood exactly what I wanted, even though we never met face-to-face. We worked exclusively via email out of convenience, and she was incredibly patient with my scattered wedding brain throughout the process. I had a friend pick up the bouquets from Shanda, but I wish I could have been there to tell her in person how gorgeous they were! I've already had two people contact me (not even wedding guests, mind you, they just loved the photos!) asking me for a florist referral. Couldn't recommend Flor de Casa Designs more!
Shanda exceeded my expectations. My floral decor was perfect! Shanda was very friendly, and accommodating to any new requests. I’m so happy I trusted Shanda with making my special ...

It was great working with Shanda, she understood exactly what I wanted and had really good ideas to share. I hired her to do 3 different types of centerpieces for my wedding as wel...
l as bouquets, and outside pergola decor. Unfortunately it rained but she was quick to create a beautiful backdrop for the altar indoors. The colors and the flowers were exactly what I imagined and she had really good energy. She was as excited as I was about my wedding and I really appreciate that :) .
Absolutely amazing! I would definitely choose Flor de Casa designs again. They exceeded my expectations and everyone ranted and raved about how beautiful my flowers and centerpiece...
s were. Thank you sooo much! I highly recommended!
Shanda created amazing, beautiful, impressive bouquets for me and my bridal party. The boutonnieres were so great the groomsmen actually noticed and commented rather than just pinn...
ing them on without looking. She went above and beyond with my centerpieces, which looked like they cost an arm, a leg, and a kidney. But they didn't. Aside from being very talented at her craft, Shanda is a true professional. This to me was most important. She was super responsive and on top of everything. Communications were on point. Delivery and assembly was on point. She wasn't pushy and she worked hard to make sure I was happy with every single petal of every single flower. And she's just so friendly and sweet and passionate it's contagious. I doubt anyone falls in love with their florist, or any vendor, but trust me, it's unavoidable with this one!
Let me start by saying if your looking for a THE BEST florist, stop right there and book Shanda NOW! This is the second wedding that she has done for my family in a year and I alre...
ady have her booked for another family event next year. We truly wouldn’t even dare to go anywhere else. Why when she is the BEST! Shanda has the ability to capture your dream with her attention to detail and design, she helped to turn my vision into reality. She is a truly humble , kind and loving person which I feel is extremely important when dealing with a vendor for one of the biggest days of our lives. She is extremely professional and responsive at all times. If I had a questions she would always get back to me within 24 hours, even if it was just to let me know she received my email and get back to me soon. I had high expectations for my centerpieces and flowers and when she delivered them I was truly amazed and speechless (which is pretty hard to do) lol , they came out even better than I imagined they would. I couldn’t have been more happy with Shanda. I am truly thankful for all that she did to make my wedding magical and exactly what I envisioned. Thank you Shanda!
Shanda did such an awesome work with my daughter's wedding. The flower arrangements, bouquet, and the way she was able to capture my daughter's idea of the perfect wedding! It was ...
truly refreshing to work with her in bringing to life an idea. When we saw the final result, we were totally in love with it and forever grateful for her flexibility, knowledge, resourcefulness and patient. Kudos to her.!!

Thank you Shanda for making me the most beautiful arrangements.
