Parrish Designs

I recently worked with Parrish designs for my wedding at Cheeca in Islamorada, FL. All I can say is WOW, the flowers were absolutely gorgeous!! I met with Kathryn once and we picked the flowers I like and she did the rest, she has an amazing vision and added all the right details to make it perfect! The table arrangements and my hot pink cascading orchid bouquet were just stunning!!!

JAW-DROPPING, AWE-STRUCK AMAZEMENT... That's exactly how I felt when I saw the dream-like floral inspirations that graced my venue. It brought me so much joy!

I loooove flowers. So, for my wedding, I searched high and low for the florist that could create a Floral Garden vision from my magazine tear-outs, web photos, and general ramblings about how much I love flowers. Then, I came across Kathryn's masterpiece talent with flowers and there was no question. She is hands-down the most talented florist in South Florida.

If you are looking for something EXTRA-ORDINARILY SPECTACULAR, Parrish Designs is the team for the job!

I can't thank Kathryn and her team enough for the BEAUTIFUL day they created for me. I will never forget the feeling I got when I walked up to the venue and saw it so perfectly decorated beyond what my dreams had imagined....

I worked with Parrish for my wedding and they went above and beyond in executing our vision. They are the type of florist that you can trust will do things tastefully, which is something that is hard to find in Miami! My entire wedding was outside and they provided us with everything from the centerpieces with lanterns and beautiful mercury glass, to aisle decor, and even a beautiful archway for us to stand under during the ceremony. My guests could not stop talking about the gorgeousness of my beautiful flowers and decor. Thank you!!

Kathryn at Parrish Designs, is the MASTER floral designer of Miami! We only met with Kathryn once, when we jetted down to Miami from Montréal. We met for an hour, we discussed what we wanted, she showed us photos of her work, and we knew immediately that she was the floral designer for us! Kathryn is extremely professional and has impeccable taste! Her whimsical designs were symbiotic with our visions of what we wanted for our wedding! Parrish designs worked with our budget, and created arrangements and décor over and above what we expected! Kathryn created her very first fascinator for my hair, and it was STUNNING! She even gave me the gift of a GORGEOUS bouquet, even when I told her I didn't want one! It was so beautiful I cried when she gave it to me! Kathryn was the PERFECT floral designer for us. She is no frills, no bull, and ALL about creating the PERFECT atmosphere for your PERFECT moment in life! I will never forget the beauty she created for us, and neither will our guests! Everyone was blown away by her creations! Thank you Kathryn Parrish for your honesty, your inspiring work ethic, and for being so good at what you do! Merci beaucoup!

I was rendered speechless when I saw Parrish Designs creation of my ceremony site and ballroom, and I am never speechless. Easily the #1 floral and decor design company in South Florida. I had seen an installation of Vanda Orchid plants at the George V in Paris and instantly had to incorporate them into our ceremony decor. In order to get the same feel as the George V that meant we had to use the exact same vendor as the hotel uses for the Vanda plants, not an easy task at all. Most vendors probably would have said no and had me settle on another Orchid, but not Kathryn Parrish. She got the vendor's contact information and made my dream a reality, it was the most amazing Chuppah EVER! She went above and beyond and that along with having total trust and confidence in her is all that matters. I will continue to use Parrish Designs for all my floral needs. THE BEST!!

The flowers was absolutely beautiful. Only two of the flowers was dead but it's all good. My wife wanted a Red and white rose flower and they got it. All the flowers was nice and smell very good. All healthy too, only two that had brown spots.

Parrish Designs really came through for us on our Wedding Day. We decided to go with a florist 2 weeks before our wedding, and we live in BOSTON. Sarah and Kate took my basic idea "make it pretty" and ran with it. They really worked within our budget to give us the wow factor we really wanted. All of our guests were wowed by our reception decor. And I literally talked to the girls at Parrish a total of 4 times at the most. These are REAL professionals!!!

There are no words to express the amazement I felt when I walked into my reception and saw the stunning flower arrangements on every table. Kathryn and her team did an amazing job that exceeded my wildest dreams. They are one of the best in the business and I will recommend them to all my friends and family.

Parrish Designs did our wedding at Cheeca Lodge in Islamorada, FL. We specifically did not want a "beachy theme" and they took great pains to make everything look gorgeous. I was blown away by their creativity and professionalism. While they are not the most responsive via email (you may have to email them a few times), that minor annoyance is worth it once you see your florals. My advice is to give them a rough guideline of what you want and let them work their magic. They are creative dynamos who do beautiful work.

First I want to say that the ONLY reason I did not give 5 stars all around is because Parrish was supposed to run tulle along the inside isles, of which we provided the tulle, and they did not...but I honestly didn't even notice it until someone pointed it out to me. Other than that I thought that the flowers looked amazing in the bouquets, the ceremony and in the reception area. I thought they were a little pricey but they were willing to work with our budget. I am so happy I went with them because they were so friendly and really were there to try and make things work for me! Thank You Parrish Designs!

loved the arrangements

I have to start by saying that Parrish is absolutly wonderful... My flowers & decor was what I expected & when my ceremony was over & reception started I got teary eyed looking at my reception set up. I thank you & it doesnt get better than you.. My wedding was beautiful out on the beach .

I have never seen flowers so beautiful before. Katherine from Parrish Designs really knows what she's doing. I had cherry blossoms and hydrangeas at my wedding and when the trucks were unloading I thought every cherry blossom in all of Washington DC was shipped to my wedding. What Katherine does with flowers is unbelievable and absolutely breathtaking. She was very pricy but once I saw the end product I was ok with spending the money. She is that good!

I am still getting compliments on how the room looked that day; everyone said it was the most beautiful wedding they've been to.

The day was perfect and am appreciative of the wonderful ideas and execution Parrish brought to our day.

My flowers were absolutely gorgeous. All the arrangements were lush and full and had NO fillers (like I requested). I also did the lighting through Parrish Designs. Everything was just as promised. My only complaint is that they are more expensive than other companies I heard about. However, my reception site had "preferred vendors" that I had to use. She was willing to work with my budget and was flexible, however after hearing what other brides paid for relatively comparable decor- she was much more expensive. However- I got EXACTLY what I wanted on my wedding day and that is priceless...

The value of the cost was kind of high was the flowers was very nice. When i gotten my Flowers, One of them was dead, so we had to replace it with a red rose. other then that, their service was pretty good, and came 10 minutes early before the wedding starts.

I'm not a flower-person and these flowers were stunning. I'm also hard to impress and I was extremely impressed with the job that Kathryn and Leah did at my wedding. I'd been planning and picturing my vision for over a year and what they actually executed was above and beyond my vision. Everything that I had ordered was there and done perfectly and beautifully.

The only negative comment I have is to echo the other brides on responsiveness. Make sure to go to your initial meeting prepared with your vision, as this will likely be the one of the few times you speak to them. On the flip-side, it was nice to have at least one vendor that did not need a lot of hand-holding. They did exactly what I wanted and I only spoke to them at my initial meeting, 9 months before my event! Highly recommend!

Overall the flowers were well done. There were one or two wilted flowers in my bouquet when I received it, and the pins in some of the bridesmaids bouquets were not well fastened. Also, they were missing a bouteneire for the father of the groom and ended up taking one of the grandmother's flowers to make him one. But the most frustrating part of the whole experience was the fact that once the wedding was over, no one was there to pick up the rented pieces. Sarah made it clear that any damaged or missing pieces would be our responsibility, so we ended up waiting around over an hour after the wedding just to make sure someone picked up the pieces.

I've never written a review for anything i.e restuarant service, hotel etc. But I am so disgusted with how I was treated by Parrish Designs that I am making this review my FIRST!!!

When I met Kathryn a couple of months ago, she seemed arrogant and pompous. I am a bride from out of town and not familiar with the Miami area. Therefore, I got lost finding her studio and was 35 minutes late to our meeting. She made it a point to keep stating that "Because you were late" or "Unfortunately your tardiness", "I'm not going to have enough time etc" not trying to accomodate the situation. I already felt horrible about being late. But, becuase I did really like her work and felt confident that she new my style, I let it go and continued to work with her.

Since our initial meeting, we emailed several times about different ideas/pricing etc. Now that it is 1 month before my wedding-- she signs another client the SAME day as my wedding stating I never signed a contract. Had she mentioned that we needed to contract up, I would have gladly signed SEVERAL months ago. So now I am left, 1 MONTH before my wedding, without a florist. Thank you, Kathryn for the stress!!!
