I purchased my Sora wood flowers from My Dinosaur Dreams in the form of a 10" bouquet wrapped with twine and the matching boutonniere and couldn't be happier. My husband and I eloped in a very personal and private ceremony with just the two of us and our officiant, so I did not want to do elaborate florals but I did want a bouquet for some pictures and that I could display at home afterwards. I was so impressed with this bouquet. In fact, many people saw the bouquet in pictures afterwards and commented on how stunning it was, not even realizing it wasn't real. Lovely job!

My Dinosaur Dreams did our boutonnieres and corsages for our July 2023 wedding. I ordered in February and had everything by April! Her work is beautiful and well cared for. We are so glad we used My Dinosaur Dreams!

After a two year delay due to Covid, we finally got to have our wedding! Afton was absolutely amazing to work with and was so accommodating! I changed my mind about a dozen times throughout the process and she was so patient with me and had suggestions whenever I seemed to struggle a bit. The flowers were even more beautiful than I imagined! I knew I wanted something that was going to last forever and her sola wood flowers are simply breathtaking. Everyone wanted to touch the bouquet and were just awestruck that they were made from wood! They will be a cherished keepsake to remind me of such an amazing day.

Words can’t describe how happy I am with how the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnières turned out!! They were so beyond beautiful and we got so many compliments on them. Thank you so much for everything!!

The flowers are beautiful! I got updates as they were being made, questions to make sure all the little details were right, the rose scent is perfect, and people didn't even ask if they were real or not because they all assumed they were real. She was super accommodating as we kept changing what we needed and gave us lots of extra flowers we ended up being able to use in the centerpieces!

The bouquet for our wedding was PERFECT! I had so many compliments on it! Afton answered all of my questions quickly and was so friendly while still being professional! I’m so happy to be able to keep the bouquet forever. It’s currently on display in our living room! Thanks so much again! :)

Afton did such phenomenal work for my wedding day. She really listens and takes in account your requests... and put up with me when I was being incisive (LOL). From my bridal bouquets, centerpieces, and garland...BEAUTIFUL. I am so happy I decided to work with her. Guest were absolutely floored at how beautiful everything was. I can't say enough good things about Dinosaur Dreams. I will absolutely recommend her when I get a chance in the future. ❤

Afton of my dinosaur dreams knocked it out of the park for my wedding bouquet and wedding party flowers! I was very specific with my colors and filler for my bouquets and she coordinated it perfectly. I included the paper map print flowers with some of the color and I received so many compliments for the unique, classy flowers. I even added onto my order a few times last minute and she supplied it with no problem at all. She even provided extra paint etc Incase is emergency for the big day. I loved supporting her business and talent. If you are on the fence about wood flowers in general I would 100% recommend. I have my bouquet on display at home forever now!

I LOVED my bouquets that I ordered for my wedding. They were just stunning, everything I hoped for, and so much more. All of my guests were amazed by them and were so surprised to find out they were wood. My wedding day was super windy and misting and they held up perfectly to everything. I still have them sitting out in a mason jar looking every bit as stunning as they did on my wedding day. Afton is so sweet and easy to work with. I'd reorder from Afton in a heartbeat.

Very easy to communicate with, clear communication. She listened to what I wanted and my bouquets were perfect. She made my vision real. She sent extras and paint incase any transit damage. I have my beautiful flowers forever!

Afton was so lovely to work with. I had booked her about a year before my wedding so I sent her a ton of messages with changes throughout the year. I couldn't keep my mind straight. She didn't miss a beat, she was there to help me with final decisions and she was incredibly professional and friendly throughout the entire process. She made beautiful bouquets and boutonniere's for my wedding party and I can't thank her enough! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a special kind of bouquet keepsake. I am so happy that I can keep my wedding bouquet forever!

The custom flowers created for our wedding were absolutely stunning. Not only were they more beautiful than I imagined, but they eliminated all the logistical nightmares that come with live flowers. We wanted our wedding to be a hassle-free experience and having our custom bouquets and boutonnieres arrive in advance and transport easily is one of the things that made our day flow so smoothly! The boutonnieres and bouquets photograph beautifully and my bouquet even looked perfect after a couple accidental drops. And now we get to keep them forever!

I loved my wood bouquets that I got from My Dinosaur Dreams especially my bridal bouquet. She was wonderful to work with and always communicated with me either via email or instant messaging. Shipping was fast and on time and every thing was packaged perfectly.

Afton was phenomenal! She worked with me starting about a year out from my wedding, kept me up to date on the progress of my flowers, worked with every change of mind I had about my flowers and then got them shipped to me in a reasonable time. My flowers were STUNNING! I literally cried opening the box, everyone kept talking about how unique and beautiful my flowers are! If you are thinking about doing wooden flowers use Afton!

Afton was fantastic. I changed my mind so many times and I had a million questions but she was so patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. She is amazing at what she does, my flowers are absolutely stunning. I got so many compliments on them all night. Most people didn't believe me when I told them they weren't real flowers. The boutonnieres and corsages were all very nice too, I can't wait to see all of the pictures with her beautiful work. I cannot thank you enough for everything, Afton. ❤️

Her flowers are beyond stunning and look so real! She did gorgeous completely custom bouquets, buotonnieres, and corsages that looked amazing in our wedding, and cost way less than what the same sized order would have cost for real flowers. I love that I'm able to keep my wedding bouquet as a beautiful memento and my bridesmaids were all excited to keep their bouquets too!

Afton is AMAZING to work with!! So professional and personable and completely understanding! I contacted her 2 months before my wedding and had to ship little wrenches to her for my boutonnieres... those got lost in the mail and she ended up having to wait for them but I still got my flowers in plenty of time for the wedding! She sent me teaser pictures before she shipped the flowers to me and I cried. She completely exceeded my expectations... and then when the boxes arrived and I opened them I cried again! She is absolutely the best and kept me updated every step of the way! I now follow her on Facebook and I will be ordering from her again.
