About Dear Dahlia

Carla Ilena

Lead Florist/ Owner

Flowers have always been a deep passion of mine. The kind of passion that often made me cry just admiring a flower. I never hesitated to take on a project. It was not only therapeutic, but it was a way to channel my inner creativity. On October 16th, 2020, my husband and I were united in marriage. The wedding planning process was beautiful, and challenging. The challenge came in trying to find a venue, dress, shoes, floral design, and all of the above, that matched my distinct style. My husband saw my passion, and has been my number one supporter in extending this passion into a business. This business is truly my dream.

I am here for the unique floral arrangements you don't think anyone will understand and the ones you can't seem to vision because even the world of Pinterest seems like it's not satisfying your style. I'm here for those who feel like they are in a league of their own. And I am so so excited to help you channel your floral visions- big or small.

  • Bright and Beautiful and Perfect with Dear Dahlia

    •Verified review
    •Ariana Z.•Mar 19

    Carla with Dear Dahlia was absolutely phenomenal, and the florals were beyond beautiful. From the very beginning, she was great at communicating throughout the planning process, making sure every detail was perfect. All I said was, "I want bright flowers," and shared a few photos. She took my random thoughts and ideas and created a stunning mood board that captured the essence of what I envisioned for our special day. Her ability to translate my scattered thoughts into a cohesive and breathtaking floral design was truly impressive. She listened carefully to my preferences and provided expert guidance, ensuring that every arrangement was tailored to our style and theme. The flowers were fresh, vibrant, and arranged with such artistry that they became a highlight of our wedding decor. Throughout the planning process, Carla was always available to answer questions and provide updates. Her professionalism and dedication were evident in every interaction, and she made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. On the day of the wedding, the floral arrangements exceeded all expectations. From the bouquets to the centerpieces, every detail was meticulously executed, creating a magical atmosphere that left our guests in awe. I think every guest commented on these florals! I would highly recommend Carla with Dear Dahlia to anyone looking for someone extraordinary. Her talent, creativity, and exceptional service make her the perfect choice for any wedding or event. We couldn't have asked for a better florist to bring our vision to life.

Her communication was quick and easy, I gave her some inspiration and gave her all the power to put it together for me, she knew exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t have chosen a better person to get my flowers done! Thank you again for your hard work and dedication on making beautiful arrangements and putting smiles on so many brides faces.

    I have ALWAYS had a hard time choosing flowers for anyone. The flowers I always chose somehow ended up being bad quality and never really matched properly. I found out by word of mouth about Dear Dahlia has a gift of knowing just about everything and anything about flowers. I decided to give her a shot, and here is what I have learned ever since using her. She is not just a florist, she is an artist. Not just any artist, YOUR artist. Every occasion is different, the more details you give, the more she has to offer. She has absolutely dedicated herself to satisfying needs I never even knew I had. Colors, themes, pretty much any event, she knew exactly what I needed before I knew myself. She constantly updates you with where she is at with your order and even shows pictures in case you have a different idea. She just has a variety of different options, including a custom option which is tailored to the needs of the receiver. I have used her for pretty much every occasion: birthdays, valentines day, holidays, anniversaries and even my wedding! I have never once had a complaint, have never heard a complaint about my order from anyone, and constantly receive praise for my choice. (AKA the combined efforts of Dear Dahlia and myself) To put the cherry on top, her flowers were always the best looking ones when comparing other gift flowers. ALWAYS! I will continue to use this service because they have always had my back in the trickiest of situations, and they seem to have an infinite supply no matter what time of the year. The amount of thought and love that goes into this is obvious that they don't do this for the money. It is done because she loves her hobby, and has used it to make people smile time and time again. I wouldn't recommend anyone else but her. She takes all the stress and hassle away from you so you can go on with your life, having one less thing to worry about. P.S. I have tons of pictures I couldn't upload, but once they fix that I will re-upload to showcase their work!

    Carla is absolutely amazing and the sweetest human being. She did all the florals for my bridal shower and the centerpieces and bouquet for my wedding. She pays attention to every detail and makes your vision come to life. Her work is quality and so are the florals/center pieces she puts together. She is punctual and her prices are so fair. I have nothing but praises for her and her work. Best of the best and super easy to work with!! Choose her for all your floral needs!
