Rhonda Kaplan Floral Designer

ents on them the entire night. She did a tremendous amount of work, was prompt to reply, open to feedback, and had excellent suggestions that didn't even occur to me but I LOVED. Her attention to detail really made the wedding and bridal shower turn out better than we ever could have imagined. She truly is amazing! We cannot thank Rhonda enough from the bottom of our hearts.

ical. We had a last minute location change due to rain and Rhonda was on top of it! She even added some additional greenery and made the new space look even better than what we had planned in the original space. The colors went so well with the dark green bridesmaid dresses. The perfect fall color pallet. Rhonda gave me so much honest advice during the planning process. She has done many weddings at Chesapeake Bay Beach Club and knew what worked, what didn’t , and where to add those special touches. Can’t thank her enough!

wedding, but I know absolutely nothing about them so I didn’t know how to verbalize my vision. Rhonda helped bring my vision to life With ease and was so knowledgeable about all things flowers. She was helpful, kind and thorough through every step of the process. I was blown away when she delivered my bridal bouquet and all of my bridesmaids bouquets to the bridal suite- they were absolutely stunning! And I felt the same exact way when I saw my ceremony site and reception set up, just WOW! I wanted something different and outside of the norm for Rhonda in regards to drapery along the backs of my ceremony chairs. She took the time to hear me out to make sure she fully understood what I was imagining and agreed to take on something new and made my vision become a reality, really she absolutely nailed it! Rhonda was a pleasure to work with from the very start and well beyond our wedding date, I truly hope we have the chance to work together again in the future! I would recommend Rhonda Kaplan Florals to any one of my friends getting married!

o over my vision! The flowers on my wedding day exceeded my expectations and it was so much fun working with her!

uch to me, and it's almost a week after our wedding now and I still can't get over how beautiful and perfect the flowers were. We had so many unique arrangements besides the typical bouquets/boutonnieres, including flowers for our homemade wedding arbor, ceremony doors, and a swing. Rhonda wanted to see what we made for our wedding beforehand so she even came over to the wedding site which was at my in-law's property for a site visit and to see the arbor so she could get a good vision for what to do. She is soooo creative and so easy to connect with. Hiring her was the easiest decision I've made. We met twice beforehand and I love how personable and casual our meetings were in her home studio. I emailed her some inspiration photos from pinterest that I really loved, and she took my vision and made it come to life but even more beautiful than I could have imagined! She showed up early and ready to work the day of our wedding, and just did the most spectacular job. Rhonda, thank you again so much for the most perfect flowers for our special day!!

ul in dealing with the rental of special center pieces from another vendor, delivery and pick up. And provided helpful tips for keeping the flowers fresh after the wedding. Blooms were fresh and absolutely stunning. So happy with the results.

sure I was happy with what I was getting and stayed within my budget. She even recommended we repurpose the bridesmaid bouquets to use for centerpieces. She is so personable and nice! I loved meeting with her and she even took me and my now mother in law to the flower warehouse so we could pick out the types of flowers we wanted. It was great to work with an actual person rather than a large company, as Rhonda does everything herself from her own home. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a florist!

r very first meeting. She knew exactly what to do and from just a brief explanation and some examples I showed her on Pinterest, she created more perfect bouquets and table arrangements than I could have imagined. The flowers were gorgeous and smelled wonderful.

online and she was able to make everything look just perfect.

hat I envisioned and made it come alive right in front of me. The month leading up to the wedding we talked about more specific details, and she created the perfect floral arrangements for the ceremony and reception along with the bouquets. Rhonda was amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for amazing flowers at their wedding.

he has the patience of an angel, and answered every question, comment and concern I had. She took my loose vision for the wedding and turned it into reality, above and beyond what I ever could have hoped to imagine. She took the extra time for a face-to-face meeting, she hand delivered the bouquets to us before the wedding, and she also provided our bridal shower flowers. She goes above and beyond with every single conversation, ensuring that you have everything you need to create your perfect day, and feel confident with every decision made. She is kind, considerate, and a pleasure to work with. My wholehearted recommendation for Rhonda for your wedding!!

tional decorations into the mix and took it all in stride. I asked for greenery & many-petaled flowers and she delivered even better than I could have imagined! She created the most beautiful centerpieces and accents, but her bouquets were really the best part. When she hand delivered them to my suite the morning of the wedding, their beauty made me actually cry (for the first of several times that day). Do yourself a favor and trust her with your big day. She will give you the flowers other people will want to pin on their wedding boards. You won't regret a thing!

got exactly the look I wanted- blush and cream with lots of beautiful greenery. I know very little about flowers, but Rhonda was able to translate my vague description of what I wanted into beautiful bouquets & decorations.

nd!

. Rhonda was attentive to my needs and ideas as a bride and was an amazing friend in a time of crisis. When she received the flowers for our special day she received the wrong color of one of my favorite flowers. She went above and beyond and called all over to find the correct flowers. She found them and was able to relieve me stress. While searching for the flowers for our special day I really had no idea what I wanted, but Rhonda was able to help me visualize the colors and the display. She gave me great ideas and those great ideas and her talent made our day more beautiful then I would have ever imagined. I would recommend Rhonda to anyone searching for a talented florist. She was amazing. Kara & Scott Welsh- married June 4, 2016 At The Chesapeake Bay Foundation

style wedding. We did not have a traditional style considering it was at an old steel mill called Carrie Furnace. She made me a gorgeous floral crown to wear instead of a veil. It was the perfect accessory for my dress. I felt like a Greek goddess, ha! Bravo to this florist, prompt, organized, creative, hard working and kind. Highly recommend!

ated vision and give me exactly what I wanted - even thought I couldn't tell her exactly what that was. We picked out the flowers together, and she was completely supportive of all my crazy ideas. The florals at my wedding were unique, elegant, and a major part in all our best wedding photos. From scaling my bridal bouquet to fit my size, to creating an arrangement for my escort cards that employees at the venue were taking picture of because they had never seen anything like it, to even remembering one of my favorite flowers were peonies, that I had mentioned in passing and making sure I had some peonies for my bridal room, her attention to detail, incredible sense of design and scale, and professionalism, was so far above and beyond anything I had hoped for. Rhonda was a true partner in making my wedding exactly as I wanted it. But best of all, she is a lovely woman, with a beautiful heart, that I am sure I will remain friends with. I cannot recommend Rhonda highly enough for your wedding or any other event, or special occasion you may have. You simply will NOT find a better floral designer.

. There was a schedule conflict with my wedding date, but she was with me from the first meeting and throughout the process, up until the actual day. Rhonda got my concept from the beginning. The second meeting, I met with her and her assistant to pick out the actual flowers to be used. Rhonda was good about letting me know which flowers would put me over-budget, and which would be out of season by my big day. The day of the wedding, Rhonda's very talented assistant did the actual cutting and arranging of the flowers and helped to set up my other decor. Weeks later, my mother is still saying she "had never seen such flowers before," and my dad wrote me that it was "incredible," and he "can't recall even a fairy-tale wedding ever being more so." I know this was possible, only because of these artists, in orchestra with my other vendors.

happy to help me. I very much appreciated this, because i had been super stressed about the flower situation! I told her my budget was $2,000 and she made it work. She probably spent HOURS making all the little floral arrangements that i asked for! Instead of one big centerpiece per table, i had tons of little vintage vases spread out across rectangle tables. To deliver this amount of flowers & vases must have been NO EASY FEAT but she did it on time and the dining room LOOKED LIKE A MAGAZINE COVER. it was really really beautiful. Here were the unpleasant surprises: I paid to rent an aisle runner from her, and it was PAPER. WHAT? a paper aisle runner? I was NOT happy about that surprise. if i was going to get paper, i wouldn't have rented it, i would have just bought it myself. Second unhappy surprise, we had emailed back and forth about "spray roses" in the boutonnieres, even sent a few pictures back and forth. But when the boutonnieres arrived they looked cheap and had one little green freesia bud. it looked like a weed. there were no roses. So I told her she better put roses on the boutonnieres before delivering to the groomsmen! She made a comment to her assistant that made me seem like i was asking too much- and i had to remind her AGAIN that we had documented email correspondence about the roses she was going to use! The third unpleasant surprise was - my bride's bouquet was SMALLER than the bridesmaids bouquets! And even though it supposedly held hundreds of dollars of more beautiful flowers, in pictures, it looks like we're all carrying the same bouquet! That did not make me happy. Overall I think those things could have been resolved with different communication but in the end, those 3 details were only a small percent of the good job Rhonda did on my wedding day (and the days leading up to it, where we met a few times, picked out flowers, designed a mock table, etc.) she was very helpful and encouraging!
