Parrish Designs

The crew at Parrish is awesome. Creative, gorgeous and filled with love. You can see they really care about the details. I attended a Bar Mitzvah recently, and the flowers were impressive. I see a lot of floral arrangements at weddings, so original designs catch my eye. I only wish I had a picture to post of the centerpiece. It was made with purple silk ribbons and orchids. I’ll never forget it. You are in good hands here.

It was a pleasure to work with them in Sara and Ahmad’s wedding this past weekend. The orchids arrangements were just perfect for a wedding beach!

I wasn’t sold on the idea that real flowers were an absolute necessity for a wedding — I thought we could do paper flowers, or regular store-​bought arrangements, or something like that. I was SO WRONG, and Katherine at Parrish Designs showed me the light.
I went in for an initial consultation thinking I had an idea of what I wanted… only to find out that the flowers I’d had in mind were the most expensive IN THE WORLD (thanks, pinterest) and totally unrealistic. So it was back to the drawing board. Katherine brainstormed some ideas with me and was so supportive of my desire to do something outside the box for my flowers — I didn’t just want boring old bouquets or those tall pillars of flowers or anything like that. I wanted something unique, something that would reflect our personalities as much as every other part of the wedding did.
We came up with an idea, and I went back in many months later, about a month or two before the wedding, for the preview look of the flowers. Ordinarily you only get to see a preview of what the bridal bouquet will look like, but instead I got to see a preview of my centerpieces… and I HATED them! I was close to tears, thinking it was set in stone and this was what I was going to end up with, generic centerpieces, exactly what I didn’t want.
Katherine was receptive to the idea of scrapping what she’d come up with and starting all over with ideas, and we soon came up with two ideas, one that was much more unusual and one that was my first choice, but dependent on how long winter lasted. I would have been happy with either choice, and Katherine told me we wouldn’t know which we were using until a week before the wedding — so either I had to trust her or choose the safer option. I decided to trust her.
We ended up with the most gasp-​inducing cherry blossom centerpieces, which was the option I had really wanted! But Parrish went above and beyond anything I had dreamed of, and the centerpieces were these spectacular, tall arrangements that looked more like entire cherry blossom trees — our guests were talking about them for weeks after! And we alternated those with some low centerpieces that looked kind of like wonky (uneven) fish bowls with candles floating in them and cherry blossom petals dotting the tables.
It was so magical! I can’t recommend Parrish highly enough to any prospective brides.
OH, I almost forgot! I also had fresh flowers in my hair, which Parrish provided, and that was wonderful, too! The flowers were a bit bigger than what I’d expected, but they ended up looking so perfect for a Miami wedding. (Also they were only about $ 5, which is a really good deal for a wedding hairstyle! Way cheaper than all the clips and barrettes I’d been looking at.)
