Flowers By Darlene/North Shore Fruit Basket

any milestones in my family’s life: my sister’s wedding, her baby shower, my own shower, and now my wedding. Every single time, she creates something new, breathtaking, and completely unique. I’ve never seen a florist who can elevate an event quite the way she does. Usually, guests don’t pay much attention to the flowers at a wedding—but with Darlene, you can’t help but notice. Her centerpieces are stunning works of art that bring a space to life. What truly sets Darlene apart, beyond her immense talent, is how deeply she cares about bringing your vision to life. I had dreamed of having lilacs in my bouquet, but they weren’t in season. Instead, she used stock flowers to mimic their beauty—and somehow created something even more special. It was unlike any bouquet I’ve ever seen, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I also told her I loved thistles and dahlias, though my mom worried the look might feel too dark. Darlene worked her magic, blending rich jewel tones into vibrant, romantic arrangements that honored both our visions perfectly. I was in complete awe. And then—because she’s Darlene—she went above and beyond. The night before my wedding, she surprised me with a magnificent bouquet my husband had arranged through her. It was enormous, lush, and so beautiful I felt like a social media influencer holding it. I still tear up thinking about that gesture—it meant the world to me. To Darlene: thank you for being the crown jewel of my wedding and for always making our family’s most special moments even more beautiful. You are a true artist, and I adore you.

and brought it to life beautifully. She explained all the options so clearly, from boutonnieres to bouquets to centerpieces, and made the entire process feel seamless. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

cading bouquet of white and red roses ! Marcy changed our flower girl baskets from petals to arrangements last minute and also made me an additional boutonnière and wrist corsage 2 hours before my ceremony ! I can’t recommend Flowers by Darlene enough

ll more affordable than many of the other quotes I received. On top of that the vision! I cannot say enough how much I adored what they put together. While I had a general color scheme in mind they really brought that vision to life with the most wonderful arrangements I could have ever dreamed of. It took my breath away to walk into the ceremony and see what they had put together. Not to mention their flexibility! We had to move our ceremony from outside to in a tent roughly 2 hrs before ceremony start and they worked so well with the venue to make everything happen I was beyond impressed. I would recommend Marcy and the team for anything and everything!

eme. They were also so easy to work with and very accommodating!

y questions and concerns. She made our floral vision come to life! I couldn’t have asked for more beautiful flowers! Every floral piece we had as well as the bouquets were breathtaking. The pricing was very reasonable as well. We ended up getting a lot more for our money than we would’ve if we had worked with our original florist. I HIGHLY recommend flowers by Darlene!

e off the charts! Every one of my guests was in awe. On top of doing an amazing job, Marcy was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Flowers by Darlene!

gorgeous and everyone raves about how beautiful they were! I sent Marcy some inspiration pictures and she took the time to discuss how we can bring the inspiration to life. Highly recommend working with Flowers by Darlene!

I was so blown away by the gorgeous work that she did and she was super affordable compared to other florists in the area! Would recommend 100%!!

th the flowers. The flowers were gorgeous.

absolutely gorgeous! It has now been pressed and is hanging on my wall, and I love looking at it.

od my vision. She wasn’t afraid to give advice and was SO quick to respond when I had questions or requests (as a bride, it was MUCH appreciated). I have always pictured my wedding since I was a little girl, and Flowers By Darlene made that dream come true for me. Thank you Marcy and Flowers By Darlene!!!

ngs to discuss our vision and she communicated efficiently via email to make sure ALL the details were answered before the bouquets, centerpieces and boutonnières were made. I was not worried about not seeing my flowers before the big day cause I truly trusted their vision! I didn’t think I explained what I wanted well enough but they came out better than I could have imagined!! Every bride I know that has worked with this company have NEVER been disappointed with the product.
