Our flowers were incredible. Beneva was fantastic to work with....Mary especially...They helped us come up with the perfect flower arrangements for our big day, and everything turned out perfectly. The table arrangements as well were stunning. They were very easy to work with and worry more about great flowers than trying to make as much money as possible. Incredibly professional and we would recommend them over and over again.

Beneva Flowers did a very good job for my daughters wedding on Siesta Key Beach. We are from Tennessee and it was kinda scary entrusting someone you have never met to do the flowers for such a special day. But when we called they were so helpful, we talked about thirty minutes, discussed colors, style and types of flowers and Wa La it was done! Delivered right on time, absolutely beautiful and at a wonderful price. The flowers were so fresh, bright and looked amazing on the beach and in the photos. You won't be disappointed if you call Beneva Flowers for your wedding, I sure wasn't. Kitty S from TN

My daughter had a wedding on Siesta Key Beach. We live in Ohio so we just took a chance calling Beneva Flowers. She told them what flowers she wanted and colors. They did an amazing job. They were so beautiful. They delivered them right on schedule. We got so many compliments on them. They were perfect !!!!!

When I first started to plan my wedding flowers were way down on my list of priorities. I ended up having so much fun planning my flowers. My husband loves fishing, and Mickey came up the best idea to incorporate that into our centerpieces by having fishing lures dangling down from flowers in tall cylinder vases. The effect was truly amazing and my husband loved it! All of my flowers were beautiful in person and stunning in pictures. My flowers turned out to be one of my favorite parts of my wedding! Thank you!

I highly recommend them for any occasion, you will not go wrong using them!!!!

I was THRILLED, THRILLED, THRILLED with my bouquet! It was an absolutely stunning ribbon-wrapped arrangement of green orchids and hydrangeas (among other lovely green flowers), and it was better than I had imagined it would be. I gave my wedding planner (Charity from A Charmed Event) a picture of inspiration, she took it to the florist, and they created a masterpiece. Even better, it was organic (as I had requested). VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I worked with Beneva by email and photo examples only as i was planning a destination wedding for Siesta Key, Fl. The sales representatives were phenomenal. They took care of my quote and rewriting the quote a number of times as I chaned my mind about ribbon color, wirst vs. pin on corsages, etc. They responded very quickly and at one point I even received helop from the vice president of the company, since my rep was out of town. She took over and I didn't have any lag in the planning. The flowers were more beautiful in person than I could have imagined. They were a mixture of purple and green orchids with mini call lily's in my bouquet. Mixture of purple and green orchids for bridesmaids, groomsmen and parents. The flowers were amazing, ready on time, lasted in near perfect condition for days after the wedding and were better than I could have expected. Thanks Beneva!!! Especially to Julie and Sue!

Beneva Flowers provided the bridal party flowers. We did not have decor flowers as we got married on the beach. Their prices were very reasonable. We sat down with them to discuss what we wanted and they later sent me a picture of a sample bouquet to make sure I liked it. They delivered fresh flowers that were beautiful. They also provided a throw bouquet at no extra cost.

Beneva flowers delivered flowers that were more beautiful than I could have imagined. Sue and Doris were such a great help in working with me on numerous revisions when things were over budget or just not quite right. Sue even recommended purchasing the candles and vases on my own to save money! They were so accommodating even up to the last minute as I made changes. Sue took the sample pictures and my comments and created more beautiful flowers than I ever expected. It was such a pleasure to work with Sue and Dorris.

The most important thing about Beneva Flowers is that they agreed to do our wedding Mother's Day weekend!!! They did a gorgeous job and replicated the example photos we gave them perfectly. The only issue is that I had given them swatches of my bridesmaid's dresses to match the ribbon and the ribbon that was put the bouquets and boutonnieres on was completely the wrong color and we were not contacted to approve it, BUT we called them as soon as we saw it and they sent someone out immediately. They quickly changed the ribbons on the girl's bouquets. What could have been a photo nightmare ended up not being an issue at all due to their amazing responsiveness!

Beneva flowers provided us with all the flowers and a decorated arch for our beach wedding. As we are a couple from England, the first opportunity we had to see our flowers was on our wedding day. We were extremely impressed with the presentation of the button holes, the bride's and bridesmaid flowers and the arch. Beneva had really listened to what we wanted and provided it exactly. We made changes to our contract in the weeks leading up the wedding and Beneva were only to pleased to oblige. Would highly recommend.

Being determined to NOT have roses in my wedding, I searched high and low in Bradenton (my hometown) with no avail. Some places even told me that if I wanted Dahlias (my flower of choice that was in season at the time of our date), I would have to order them from Holland a week before my wedding! I even had one woman tell me that if I didn't want roses or carnations, then she wouldn't take me on as a client. Now granted, Bradenton is not a cosmopolitan city, but it was incredibly frustrating that all of the places I went were unwilling to even try and help me. Thankfully, I found Beneva Flowers. When I went in and told them what I wanted, the woman acted as if it was nothing and showed me some arrangements that they had already done! The staff was incredibly professional and helpful without being pushy. Overall, my flowers were beautiful, on time and exactly what I asked for. Also, I tried to keep my wedding as low cost as possible and these fit within my budget. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I worked with Doris at Beneva and she was fantastic.She is professional, creative, flexible and helpful. Beneva was good, they truly were. But, I would recommend asking specifically for Doris - she made it all seamless and beautiful.

I'm torn on this review-- I have to say that my bouquets and arrangements far exceeded my expectations. They were absolutely beautiful, and I got so many compliments on them. But there were a few snags along the way-- they forgot to deliver a bouquet, a boutonniere and some of the ceremony decorations initially. They wrapped the bridesmaids bouquet in the wrong color ribbon (it still was one of our wedding colors though, and I actually liked it better than what it was supposed to be), and the mini toss bouquet was supposed to be a miniature of my bouquet but instead was a mini of the bridesmaid bouquets. My coordinator was able to get all the missing flowers with time before the ceremony. Overall, they are really easy to work with. They will work with you on the price, and it's very easy to make changes to your order and I was always sent a revised contract when I did within the hour.

Beneva Flowers did a fantastic job with the floral scheme for my wedding. Their prices are very competitive and staff is very professional. All changes are recorded in the floral inventory, whether it is a change in the structure of ceremony arrangements or whether the program attendant would like a wrist or pin corsage.

The flowers were beautiful...very expensive though. The bridesmaids bouquets were little smaller than I expected but still very high quality. My bouquet was stunning and looked perfect. Laura did a great job!
