Report
Our planner got us in touch with Shannon and we were thrilled with what she made us for our wedding day. We had a general idea of what colors we wanted to match with our design but were open to her creativity and we are so happy with what she came up with. My bouquet was stunning and had flowers in it I'd never even seen before, the colors were so vibrant and beautiful and all worked so well together. The ceremony arch was so beautiful and we got so many compliments on it from our guests. The contract and process was really straight forward and Shannon responded quickly. We're so happy we chose

Report
I have been a very happy customer of Rare Sparrow Floral Design for several years - they are the epitome of quality, and are always extremely accommodating with my last minute requests. For people that say it is pricy - you get what you pay for - my bouquets have lasted weeks. If you need an impressive arrangement that is beautifully executed, this is the place.
