Our designer for the wedding was Laura Rosich. Despite working with a Bride that lived in NYC and a wedding at Ca Da' Zan she was able to go above and beyond all our expectations. Laura has flawless taste. The flowers were the finest, but nothing less would be expected from Beneva Flowers! Thanks you so...

Beneva Flowers, and their event coordinator Doris, are fabulous!! I got quotes from a few diffrent florists, and Beneva was the most affordable and the most helpful. Doris and I emailed back and forth quite a few times, and she was always quick to respond and very helpful. On my wedding day, my flowers arrived at our hotel room at exactly the time we agreed on. Each bouquet was in an individual vase with a label to say who it belonged to, which made them fresh and finding them super easy. Everything was fresh, lively and gorgeous, and matched the pictures I'd provided exactly. The corsages and boutonnieres were beautiful as well, with pins for easy attachment. I was so thrilled with my flowers, and now 9 days later, they are still alive (losing some luster, obviously) in a vase in my home.

Doris and Mary from Beneva Flowers were great. We brought a lot of ideas to the original consultation and Mary was very receptive to what we were looking for. She also thought of some things we hadn't thought of and arranged a beautiful, statement-making arrangment for a unique area in our reception site. Doris was extremely responsive and changes were easy to make with their online communication system. I always knew Doris had the files and latest updates at hand. Delivery was on time and the flowers were gorgeous. They looked exactly how I imagined. We couldn't believe how long the flowers lasted too. We boxed them up and took them home. Looked beautiful for over a week! Thank you Beneva Flowers!

Although we only used them for corsages and bouts for our wedding, the flowers were beautiful. The colors were exactly what we had wanted and they were delivered on-time. I have used Beneva Flowers for other personal arrangements and love the quality of their flowers and service. Thanks!

From the very moment I made email contact with Doris DelVecchio of Beneva Flowers, I knew she was a pro! I really did not know what I wanted in the beginning, but she directed me through her site to narrow down my thoughts. We picked out a style as well as a color scheme together. She gave me many flower names to look up to have placed in my bouquet. I told her what I liked, as well as what I did not care for. We also designed my husbands boutonniere and my bridesmaids bouquets too. I did not know exactly what it was going to look like, but when I got the knock on my hotel door with the personal delivery the day of my wedding, I was beside myself!! It was absolutely perfect. It was exactly what I had envisioned. Everything was more than perfect. Its no wonder that Beneva Flowers is #1 in Sarasota because they do just an amazing job. Thank you Doris for your time, patience, professionalism, and all out TALENT you have for making my wedding floral arrangements!!!

Beneva Flowers did an outstanding job on my flowers. I wasn't sure what I wanted, so Mary showed me lots of flowers. I went through books and picked pieces from different bouquets. The final product was exactly what I had in mind. They even provided a beautiful toss bouquet.

Everything was great - from the start, meeting Doris and the flowers she suggested for us were exactly what we were thinking. They all looked beautiful and they could not be more accomodating - doing four seperate deliveries for us on the day.

We had a wonderful experience with Beneva Flowers, they were very easy to get in contact with and their prices were very reasonable. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and they labeled all of the flowers so we knew which flowers went with what person. Would highly recommend them!

Beneva was great. I know nothing about flowers and had no idea what I wanted walking in. All I knew was what colors I wanted. They worked with me to help me realize what I liked. They took out real flowers to show me options and showed me what the different flowers looked like together. They gave me money saving tips (such as using my boquet for the sweetheart table center piece) and called me a week before to confirm the order. The had no problem with me adding a centerpiece last minute and the flowers looked great!

Our flowers from Beneva were beautiful. My bouquet was the Ashley Tropical bouquet and it was truly stunning. The bridesmaid’s bouquets were white roses and greens. They were elegant and a smaller size. All the corsages and boutonnières were labeled correctly and were fresh roses. The flowers did arrive a little late. The ceremony was at 7 and they didn't arrive until close to 6. They were supposed to arrive by 5. It was a little hectic getting them to the family. Other than that Beneva was great. Doris was who I worked with and she always responded to email or phone calls. At a meeting prior to the wedding she had samples ready for me to look at and was more than accommodating when I made some changes to my order. If you want beautiful flowers than go with Beneva!

Beneva where brilliant! We were arranging our wedding frim the UK so were so pleased that we could do everything by email. We went to a UK florist and chose what flowers we wanted then simply emailed across images, names and quanities of what we wanted. It was so easy and the staff were so helpful, I decided to leave the arranging to them and it was so beautiful and artistically done. Delivery was perfectly on time and the bouquets came with vases to put them in which was a fabulous idea. Could not have been happier with the service.

Beneva Florist was great! They are very affordable. I was considering a wholesale florist and my mother-in-law offered to put together the bouquets but Beneva Florists prices were so reasonable it just did not make since to cause her stress. The flowers were everything I imagined if not better. There were no hidden extra costs. Just be careful if you special order something as there is no going back 3 weeks prior to the wedding.

Beneva Flowers did a great job with my flowers. I only had them to the bouquets and boutonnières because I knew that they were a little pricey and I had a small budget. But they were very kind and understanding about my budget. Every time I called them after the initial appointment, they were very nice and helpful. On the day of the wedding, they delivered the flowers on time and the order was exactly what I had asked for. Yes, they are on the expensive side... but most florists are. But I think the quality of their work is worth the money.

Beneva Flowers was extremely easy and nice to work with. I felt the prices were fair and they were very flexible and able to fit me in on a day when I didn't have an appointment. The problem came when the flowers were delivered on my wedding day.. the bridesmaids and my bouquet were nothing like what we had discussed. I was extremely specific about wanting a smooth rounded ball "look" of roses and instead they were sticking out all over, looking nothing like a smooth rounded ball of roses. I was so disapointed but felt there was nothing I could do as we were leaving to drive over to the first look pictures and the delivery person was saying she felt bad they werent what I wanted but that nothing could be done besides take the flowers back to the shop(that couldnt happen bc then we would have no flowers at all!). THANK GOD my bridesmaid and day of coordinator stepped in and spoke to someone at the shop... they sent someone over to the place we were doing our first look pictures and they were able to quickly redo them all and fix them. So it did all work out, and I was very happy with the end look of everything. But I was asking for something very simple and this shouldnt have happened. It was a lot of added stress right before the wedding when it shouldnt have happened.

Beneva Flowers provided amazing flowers for our wedding ceremony and reception. They worked with us and suggested flower options in the colors we wanted and kept them within our price range. They were very responsive to any changes we wanted made after our original selections. Their team did a fantastic job!

Beneva Flowers did NOT do my flowers, however, I ordered specialty flowers for my boquet/bouts/corsages from them. My mother actually made all the boquets, etc. and did an AMAZING job. I ordered fiddleheads (uluhe ferns, monkey curls) from them along with assort purple asters (mardi gras) to fill in. The bulk of my flowers (lisianthus, gerber daisies, others) came from Whole Foods which always has an amazing variety. I'd called several florists and searched online to find the fiddleheads and was pleasantly surprised to find them for only $2 per stem at Beneva. That's a way better price than ordering direct from Hawaii where they're grown and paying a fortune for shipping! I was pleased with my purchase and happy that Beneva was able to find the specialty flower for me on relatively short notice. :)

My wedding bouquet looked exactly like the picture that I had emailed them, it was beautiful. I feel the cost is high though.
