The Wild Dahlia

uce for your wedding day. As a wedding planner, it is so important for me to partner with vendors that I know care deeply about their craft and will always execute flawlessly and that is Shawna. Hire her if you want showstopping florals that will bring your whole wedding vision together!

same time. I didn't know much about flowers so I didn't know what to expect but I showed her a few inspo pics and she truly created a dream. She was so flexible and understanding while I was postponing my wedding from November to May, from a Ritz-Carlton ballroom to an outdoor tent at the Mirbeau Inn & Spa. All her hard work creating a vision board for my fall wedding ended up not being used but she was so gracious and even more excited to create a brand new plan for the spring. Our concept meetings were so fun and informative, she really exceeded all expectations. I had no doubts that my wedding would be beautiful but I could never have imagined what I saw walking into my wedding that day. Waking up the next morning, my first text was to her saying "I have no words" and now a few months later, I still feel the same way. The number of compliments I receive on my flowers and floral decor has been too many to count. It makes me so happy that everyone loved her work as much as I did. I could not recommend her more and will be using any excuse I can find in the future to work with Shawna!

ly flexible and compassionate during such a difficult and stressful time. We completely changed our entire plan with hardly any notice. Shawna was extremely professional and responsive during the replanning process. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was flawless no matter what. With our last minute location change Shawna went out of her way to get familiar with a brand new location she’s never worked at before. The passion she has for her work is obvious and appreciated. She made special arrangements right up to the week before and completely transformed a simple backyard into a gorgeous garden fairytale. She is a true artist! Not only do I recommend hiring her, I also strongly recommend letting her and her team do what they do best...Give them total creative freedom - you will not be disappointed!!! Shawna knew my general color scheme and the specific items I needed (arbor, center pieces, some light and over head installations) but I did not limit her to any specifics on design or details and I am SO glad we did it that way. The surprise of seeing what she and her team created was one of the most exciting parts of our wedding day (besides actually getting married LOL). Hands down best florist ever, book her while you can!

g using Shawna for their wedding. She is an expert and a true floral artist. In every meeting and phone call I knew that she understood the vision for our wedding and that she would use her creativity to execute it perfectly. The bouquets arrived the morning of our wedding and I was obsessed – they were exactly what I had envisioned. Then, when I walked into our venue on our wedding day I was speechless – the flowers, candles, greenery, arbor, and mantle were PERFECT and even better than I had imagined. I am somewhat of a perfectionist and Shawna’s attention to detail completely exceeded expectations. I could not recommend Shawna and her team more highly, if you use one vendor of mine, she should be it.

She suggested black taper candles to add a hint of moody while still giving that romantic candlelight glow. She was so much fun to work with, she was relaxed, and made us feel totally at ease. I knew our day was going to be beautiful working with Shawna. She seamlessly transitioned the vibe from cocktail hour into the ballroom. We did more muted colors for cocktail hour and then really brought the color into the ballroom. Everything was so beyond and above what I was expecting for our day. We got so many compliments on Wild Dahila's work. My bouquet and the bridesmaids' bouquets were out of this world! You won't be disappointed!

em and if I could have Shawna decorate my home daily... I would. There was not even a question when it came to hiring her for our wedding day... I even made sure she was free before settling on the date. She worked seamlessly with our wedding planner to handle the nitty gritty details and created the PERFECT bouquets and installments for our big day. She even made my vision of an installation on our extremely old chapel (that wouldn't allow anything to be fixed to the detailing of the walls) steps by creating a freestanding installation that looked like it was attached to the walls. This also gave us piece of mind because if it rained, we would have been able to move the installation under the tent. Shawna and her team went above and beyond dealing with some SERIOUS rain in the morning when everything needed to be set up AND having to carry everything more than 100 feet because there was no nearby parking lot. I am so so thankful for her making all of my floral dreams come true. It was a dream wedding day and it was all because of Shawna and her team making everything look absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for the battle of Troy, Shawna!! You are AMAZING!!

nd save the day. The florals were the most important part of the wedding for me and it was hard for me to land on a vendor that understood my vision. Talking to Shawna was like talking to a friend who just gets you. She knew exactly what I wanted and executed day of perfectly. Whether it was my last minute requests, texts, or day of needs Shawna and her team were there to help anyway they could. Looking back on my wedding day the florals are still my favorite element and I could not recommend Shawna and her team enough!

wanted her to be our wedding florist. Shawna is truly an artist and takes your vision and turns it into something dreamy and magical. I always felt like she understood exactly the look I was after. Our wedding day was June 1st on Cape Cod. It was filled with the most fluffy, gorgeous peonies that I had ever laid my eyes on. The bouquets, the flower girl's flower crown, the table arrangements, and my god - the arbor!!! It took my breath away. I would recommend Shawna to anyone. She is absolutely the best in the business. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for making our day so gorgeous.

your wedding florist will definitely be one of the easiest decisions you will make for the BEST DAY of your lives! Look no further, Shawna and her team are the perfect fit!

color, size and budget, and she came up with the most beautiful and unique ideas for bouquets, ceremony flowers, cocktail hour flowers and centerpieces. I absolutely loved them all! Book Shawna and her team--you will not be disappointed!

d made it all come to life.

wedding florist (artist really). I wanted the focal point of my wedding theme to strictly be flowers and Shawna right away started brainstorming ideas based on my likes. Shawna personally met with me to explain and go over everything and was extremely accommodating to me, my schedule, and my flower dreams. Shawna was organized which kept me at ease with all the minor details I through at her and still was flexible to anything I needed changed or added. The biggest appreciation and praise I give Shawna and her team is that even though it poured rain all day on my wedding (especially during set up hours) and we were supposed to have an outdoor ceremony, they kept my flower dreams true to what I always wanted and didn’t make me worry about it one bit the day of my wedding. All along our process Shawna kept making sure she had a back up plan for if it happened to rain and I am so happy she did! I not only didn’t have to worry about a thing that day, when I finally got to see everything putting together, it was better than I could have ever dreamed of. Choosing Shawna and her team was one of the best wedding planning decisions I made! Also, Shawna is one of the coolest people I’ve ever met! Thank you Shawna and The Wild Dahlia team for everything you did to make our wedding perfect!

sionate and friendly that I knew we would get along wonderfully. While my daughter preferred that I handle the specifics with the flowers, she did have a few specific requests and Shawna was determined to make sure she got exactly what she envisioned. Our expectations were exceeded! We were enchanted when we walked into the church and saw the magnificent altar flowers. The bouquets were spectacular and the reception centerpieces were dazzling! Cheers to you Shawna for your creativity and vision!

t she knew just what I was envisioning and I didn’t have to think about it again. I was able to completely relax. Every bouquet, boutineer, and centerpiece came out amazing. I have gotten so many compliments about how gorgeous the flowers were. I can’t thank Shawna and her team enough!!

ing and more herbs and greenery. She took my inspiration photos and used her creativity and skill to create everything I was dreaming of. Not only is she talented she is super chill, makes you feel super comfortable. She's someone if I lived closer would seek out to be my friend!! Thank you to Shawna and your talented team!!

s what she wants in her mind but can not express it in words. There are not enough pictures in the world to show how gorgeous my wedding floral was. I actually had a bridesmaid call her florist in NY to FaceTime her the flowers when they arrived at my house because she wanted hers to look that great!!! When I said I wanted no color, Shawna told me I wasn't crazy. When I said I wanted over grown, modern garden, Shawna said I wasn't crazy. Throughout the entire process she was supportive of every idea/thought I had, while making sure it was executed beautifully. Just book and you will be happy! I promise!!!

f what we were thinking for wedding flowers and she immediately knew just what we were looking for and WOW did she hit the nail right on the head. Walking into our venue after she had set everything up, we were in awe. On top of how beautiful her work is - everything smelled incredible! She knows what kinds of flowers should be used for each type of arrangement (tables, bouquets, boutonnieres, etc.) so they can thrive for the whole event. Reach out to Wild Dahlia, you will be so happy with the unique and beautiful arrangements Shawna will create for your wedding day!

ty is laid back, easy going and so very pleasant to be around. I gave Shawna a color pallet and a few images of floral bouquets that I liked, and she created something more perfect than I ever could have imagined! Two months later, I am still continuously receiving compliments about how large and beautiful my wedding bouquet was! If you love gorgeous, enormous flower bouquets (who doesn't), and wonderful, easy-going, talented people, The Wild Dahlia is the place for you!

ttier! My bouquet was lush and wild, the tables were elegant and a little unexpected, and my ceremony decorations were minimalist but impactful--just what I wanted! Shawna has amazing taste and attention to detail. Her designs are on trend but classic. She selects quality flowers (that withstood extreme cold at my wedding!). All my guests were raving about the flowers all night--they really made the wedding!

were up visiting over the summer for our tasting she made time to meet us to discuss our vision. She was honest the entire time especially when my mom was a bit unsure of ideas Shawna was suggesting. Everything came out AMAZING! The bouquets and the center pieces were all lovely. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Shawna! -Molly G.

ick Wild Dahlia ten times over. It was a breeze dealing with this company, not one stress. My dream wedding came to life because of Shawna, thank you!!! I cant put into words how amazing my bouquets, staircase, mantel, EVERYTHING was. THANK YOU!!

tail and her ability to really listen to what I wanted sets The Wild Dahlia apart from other floral designers, I would recommend Shawna and her team 100%.

city hotel with jewel tones. One bride planning long distance, one close to home. And yet, Shawna and the Wild Dahlia created a perfect evening for both. Simply put, the flowers and their execution were gorgeous. Truly breathtaking. Guests at both weddings commented on both the beauty and originality of her designs. The tabletops were not just adorned with centerpieces, but came together as a beautiful tablescape. Of equal importance was the joy of working with Shawna. She immediately grasped what the brides wanted and offered a vision that included both the large and small details. She also understood weddings, mothers and daughters, and our meetings and calls were never stressful, but fun and reassuring. The other vendors with whom we worked were equally impressed with her professionalism, design and cooperation and look forward to future work with her. As the mother of the brides, my only regret is that I do not have another wedding to plan with her!

ion. My bouquet was literally wider than my body and had all the texture, whites, and navy tones I had asked for. The bridesmaid’s bouquets were the perfect complement to mine with an amazing range of bubble gum pink to deep magenta pink blooms. The centerpieces and ceremony pieces were also beautiful with some of the largest blooms I’ve ever seen. We took one of the centerpiece boxes on our mini-moon and almost a week later it still looked just as gorgeous as it had on our wedding day. Shawna and her team are so incredibly talented that it also makes them very busy and, with that, sometimes comes delayed communication. But, that being said, day of their execution of everything we had talked about was excellent. Thank you so much, Shawna and the entire Wild Dahlia team!!

ral creation from centerpieces to bouquets. Everything came together so beautifully that it brought me to tears! The real show-stopper was my bridal bouquet and I must say Shawna is a true artist for creating such a masterpiece. It completed the best day of my life! Thank you Wild Dahlia for completing my perfect day!

till raving about our florals! Would definitely recommend!!!! Thanks Shawna!

into her extremely capable hands. The flower arrangements and details were beyond beautiful.

My flowers were absolutely breathtaking and I still fall in love with them all over again when I look at pictures. I can't say enough good things about Shawna and her team. If you decide to go with The Wild Dahlia, I promise you won't regret it!!

I can not say enough about Shawna and her team- I am still obsessed!

ly understood my vision and helped me make it a reality! Her flowers were absolutely gorgeous and her team of girls were just as awesome as she was! They showed up on our wedding day and made our flimsy handmade arbor a beautiful piece of art!! I cannot recommend Wild Dahlia enough!! art!!

how beautiful the flowers were. Shawna was so fun to work with and totally understood my husbands and my style and preferences. She was also so helpful throughout the whole process; even on the big day when I was very distracted by lots of other things! She helped ease my mind about the set up of the reception and made sure that everyone had the right flowers. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Shawna!!!! -Hannah and Jonathan Hackett (The Newport couple)

l. I was so excited to see it come to fruition after months of planning and the final product was exquisite. You can't go wrong with Shawna. She's amazing!

bridesmaids dress color, etc.. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but when I saw that bouquet I knew that was exactly it. Her floral design skills and judgment are extraordinary.

rs would be absolutely perfect and they were! She completely just understood exactly what I wanted and I totally trusted leaving the day of decor in her hands. The bouquets were stunning and all of our nautical centerpieces, altar pieces, ceremony row pieces, and more were better than I ever could have imagined. Everyone was raving about them at the wedding! Even the pins for my grandparents were beautiful! Shawna was so much fun to work with and I cannot recommend her enough! Her eye for creativity and beauty and her ability to understand what you want was more than I ever could have asked for! Look no further!

never have imagined my wedding day looking as beautiful as it did. The Wild Dahlia and its staff are extremely talented. Thank you for making my wedding day unforgettable. Highly recommended if your looking for a stunning and simply one of a kind special day.

re one of the hardest decisions for me to make when it came to my wedding because I wasn't able to see the final product until the day of the wedding and let me tell you, the presentation of flowers truly exceeded my expectations. To top it all off, Shawna was so personable and really took the time to listen to what I wanted. She was possibly the easiest vendor for me to connect with and was always quick to respond to my questions and concerns. She was even open to taking a last minute request the day before the wedding without any hesitation. Thank you so much for contributing to the most perfect wedding I has always dreamt of!

r delicately decorated cake, every element was so unique and perfectly composed. The stunning floral arrangement on the arbor turned into the #1 location for photos and is already featured in several profile pics :) For my bouquet, she was able to turn my vision of frankensteining multiple Pinterest finds into something more beautiful than I had imagined. Despite being very particular about my design concept, I was so, so pleased with how everything turned out. Additionally, she was nice to work with and even picked up leftover arrangements the next day to bring to a local hospice and nursing home. Can't recommend enough!

centerpieces, right down to the ribbon color on the bridesmaid bouquets! I trusted her judgment 100%, and everything turned out absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The day of my wedding, Shawna even came to the house I was getting ready at to hand deliver my bouquet! Thank you for everything, Shawna!!

whose passion of flowers radiates off of her. She got so excited about my vision and went above and beyond on executing it. The flowers were absolutely stunning and we were blown away with how she transformed our reception area. I was obsessed with my amazing bouquet and the wedding arbor she made. She helped us stick with a budget recommending areas where we could reuse ceremony arrangements as well as using a mixture of different centerpieces. Shawna also did the flowers for my bridal shower and they were absolutely beautiful! I would 100% recommend Shawna to anyone who is looking for an amazing florist!
