Orchid Dynasty

e for set up and even moved arrangements from my ceremony to my reception so I could get use out of everything I was paying for! There was a misunderstanding with my venue and the "strike" person (meaning the person paid to gather my floral arrangements after the wedding and bring them back to Orchid Dynasty - I wanted to donate the flowers to my Nana's senior living community) and because of this miscommunication, the strike was unsuccessful. However, Shelly was very apologetic and quick to reimburse the fee I paid for the strike and also make and deliver an arrangement to my Nana the week after my wedding. Thanks for everything, Shelly!

were not in season and difficult to find. Shelly's work is simply gorgeous. I had my wedding at La Caille, so I wanted to make sure the setting of La Caille shined and the flowers were not over the top. Every arrangement Orchid Dynasty made was stunningly beautiful and perfectly complemented the beauty that is La Caille. My bouquet was an immaculate masterpiece, as were the centerpieces, cake flowers, and boutonnieres. The centerpiece flowers at dinner were so incredible, in fact, that my guests kept asking what would become of them after the night was over. The guests wanted to take home the arrangements, they were that amazing! I also requested that the aisle for the ceremony be decorated with a design of rose petals, and the finished product was one of my favorite details of the night. Orchid dynasty was highly professional and so easy to work with. I wanted the entire night to feel intoxicatingly romantic, ethereal, and dreamy, and the flowers truly set the mood for just that. I definitely recommend them for weddings!

and the bridal party flowers were absolutely beautiful. Shelly was lovely to work with and very accessible by phone. With email she was a bit long to respond, but not overly delayed. The florals were quite expensive, and honestly for the price I expected them to be mind-blowing. There were definitely elements that were (the table arrangements were amazing, and we had a beautiful floral chandelier for our ceremony), but there was one MAJOR exception. My bouquet was NOTHING like I had asked for, and while lovely, I hated it. I was very specific with Shelly throughout the design process about what I wanted - gave her pictures during our consultation and sent additional pictures via email. I wanted a modern cascade and what I got was a hand-tied standing up straight bouquet that was smaller than my maid of honor's bouquet. Needless to say I was very disappointed. In our first prospectus she had written "lush, hand-tied garden-like bouquet with roses etc." I had specifically said modern cascade with NO roses, so I have no idea where she came up with that concept. I quickly contacted her and corrected her, but obviously to no avail. The two things good that I can say about my bouquet are that the color was beautiful and there were no roses. I think that she had something specific in mind for my bouquet and regardless of what I wanted, she was going to do that. I had a very modern aesthetic for the wedding and she was on board with that, but somehow my bouquet didn't get the memo. Of all things to mess up, the bridal bouquet shouldn't be it! So, if you use Orchid Dynasty (which I recommend; like I said, I got nothing but compliments on the flowers, it was only me who was disappointed) be very specific and INSIST on seeing a mockup of what is most important to you. I saw the tablescapes and loved them, so I didn't worry about my bouquet, which I should have. . .
