My Dinosaur Dreams Flower Co

My Dinosaur Dreams Flower Co Hello! We work with brides to create flowers and decorations that let them express themselves on the I currently work from my home studio and my shop studio.

I create custom flowers for weddings and events, as well as gift and decor items. If you're local and want to come browse, you can find our hours here on the page or on Google. If you'd like to set up a consultation, don't hesitate to reach out! I'd love to meet with you! I create bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, flower girl accessories, centerpieces, and arch decor from sola wood flowers, artifi

cial flowers, preserved flowers and greenery, and faux greenery. I prefer to use sola wood flowers and real/preserved greenery as those items tend to be more eco-friendly! :)

For wedding orders, I request a 50% retainer for most orders to book your date. I cannot guarantee your spot in my schedule until I have a retainer. This retainer is nonrefundable. The remaining balance is due after I finish your order, prior to shipping or pick up. I will happily give you a quote to the best of my ability. Quotes are good for 30 days. My process works like this: I go through orders by date, typically, unless a bride has specifically asked to have hers done earlier, and I am able to accommodate. I try my very best to get to your orders as quickly as possible, please bear with me! If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to ask me! I will keep you updated as to where I am in my schedule and about when I will be starting your order. Just before I am ready to start your order, i will let you know and we can finalize details. I appreciate being informed of changes as soon as you know something is changing, but minor changes to numbers or items are typically not a problem, as long as I am aware before I begin. I want you to be happy with your items! Once I am working on your order, I typically try to focus on one at a time, but if your order requires some down time, I may start another order. I typically send pictures of items before wrapping them - this way if there are any changes that need to be made, I can easily do that and you can confirm that you are happy with how things look! (Please be aware that pictures before wrapping may look a little looser or sloppier than the ending item will! I try my best to keep things together so you can get a good idea of what it's going to look like, but gravity is always messing with me. ;) )

I typically give myself 5-10 days to complete an order - usually I over-estimate to make sure I have plenty of time. I have been completely booked since February 2016 - please try to give me as much time as possible to get you into my schedule. Unfortunately, what I do takes a lot of time and patience. When you book me, you are booking one person who will dedicate their attention to what you want your flowers to be. As most of what I use right now is handmade, excluding some dried floral items, you are getting a unique item every time! As such, I may not be able to recreate your inspiration pictures exactly, but will do my best to get the same feel and beauty that they have. I ship via USPS, UPS, or FedEx and will typically use a service with estimates of 3 days for arrival - I do not want your items to sit in transit too long. Please inspect your order upon receiving it and let me know within 7 days if there are any issues.

Our Story

My Dinosaur Dreams has grown so much over the last three years! I’ve worked with 500+ brides and put together an average of 3-5 bouquets per day. And I’m still in love! I work with brides to create custom wooden flower bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, flower balls, centerpieces, and other decor items. Most of my work is custom at this point, but my portfolio has expanded to the point where I am also getting many orders for items I’ve already made. For custom wedding orders, I request a 50% deposit for most orders to book your date. I cannot guarantee your spot in my schedule until I have a deposit. This deposit is nonrefundable. Scheduling and planning require a commitment and I promise you that I am committed to working with you on your flowers and providing an excellent experience. The remaining balance is due within a week of your order’s completion. If you are not ready for me to start your order due to payment issues, just let me know! I can start another order and work until you are ready! This makes my process easier and works best for my family.

Literally. You guys are all the best. My husband has gotten to stay home with our toddler during the last couple of years and our family has benefited from it.
