The White Dahlia was AMAZING to work with! We used them for our 10/21/2023 wedding and we are so so happy we did. When I was initially looking for a florist, I felt like everyone I...

reached out felt very impersonal and focused on the money. When I reached out to the White Dahlia, they stood out to me as they seemed way more personable than the other florists. They sent me over a form to fill out to get to know my vision and what I was looking for. They also set up a call for a few days later. I had that call with Janel and she was so sweet! I feel like she immediately understood my vision. When she sent over the PDF with the potential design for the florals I was blown away. She took my vision from our convo and the inspo pics I sent over, and was able to add to it in a way that I feel really elevated the look. On the day of the wedding, they arrived and set up everything, and came into the bridal suite to deliver the bridal party flowers. They were so so sweet and even included vases for each bouquet. They also gave me recommendations on how to reuse the bridesmaid bouquets for the reception. The flowers were gorgeous and set up as I expected! I highly recommend The White Dahlia and I will definitely be using them for future floral needs!

I'm so happy I found the White Dahlia florist! I flew in from out of state to California for my courthouse wedding and placed an order months in advance for a bouquet and boutonniè...

re. I spoke with Janel and sent photos for inspiration for the type of flowers I wanted. She was super friendly, helpful, and responsive. They also had a delivery service, which saved me so much time the day of. The delivery driver was able to drop my flowers off to me right at the courthouse before my ceremony, which was extremely convenient. The flowers were super fresh (bouquet was being kept in water en route) and exactly what I asked for. I definitely would recommend them!

Beautiful stunning amazing arrangements!!!! For our destination wedding, flowers were a big worry of mine since we couldn’t see them in person before. I trusted the awesome reviews...

and Janel did NOT disappoint! She was such a sweetheart in our conversations and gave me such peace of mind. What a gift she has to be able to come up with a stunning arrangement over the phone of exactly what I wanted! She totally understood me and our vibes for our beachy wedding day. She set up all of her arrangements seamlessly and beautifully. They photographed so gorgeous also and everyone raved on how amazing the smelled and looked!! I think we had something so original and stunning and she has such a great mind! I am so thankful she shared her gift with us for our wedding. She nailed it all, the way it all came together for the ceremony and reception was just breathtaking and I am so thankful. We cry tears of gratitude for the effort they put into our special day. White Dahlia, Janel, you are truly awesome!!❤️❤️❤️
