Dana, along with her company Flowers from the Farm, is an incredibly special person and businesswoman. Buying local, supporting small businesses, and supporting local agriculture are all extremely important to my husband and I. Dana grows the majority of the flowers she uses in her own lush garden and the blooms that she nurtures are incredibly abundant and beautiful and so fresh, well, they are literally straight from the garden.
As a business owner, Dana is organized, responsive, and extremely helpful. She’ll involve you as much or as little as you want, so you can give her an idea and she’ll run with it, or you can sit with her and talk through every little detail and feel like you’re collaborating on a fun project. She’s also sensitive to budget and will make your day gorgeous at any level you’re able to afford. She clearly takes a lot of pride in the relationships that she builds with each couple, as well as in the community, and she feels genuinely like a friend.
Dana actually saved me after I was having difficulty with a different, less responsive florist. I decided for forego a prior deposit with this other florist, and I’m so grateful that I did, because Dana swooped in and took over all of the issues that were stressing me out. And that’s really what I value today after going through the whole wedding planning process - finding people who will value your time, value the specialness of your day, and make your life easier. That’s exactly what Dana does!
Coincidentally, three months later my sister was also having trouble with her florist who didn’t seem to be listening to what my sister wanted - the florist would disregard her special requests and my sister was concerned that she was going to get the same old boring, staid flower arrangements she’d seen a hundred times before. Having loved the flowers at my wedding, my sister reached out to Dana, who once again saved the day! Dana took the time to collaborate with my sister to incorporate special flowers that are beloved to relatives, and sprigs from olive trees that were a nod to her husband’s culture. No detail was overlooked and the flowers were stunning.
I’m so happy that my wedding planner, Kelly at SociaLife, recommended Dana and Flowers from the Farm NJ, and I would recommend them to everyone!
