We bring to the table (and everywhere else) everything from flowering ceremony arches to pool floats made of florals. From aisle treatments to chair decor, centerpieces, place cards and more, we make your wedding beautiful through flowers.


Our Wedding Style Is:

We customize our floral designs and decor to each and every bride who walks through the door and pride ourselves on never saying no to anything. The strength of our team and our deep roots in the floral industry enable us to accommodate any vision. Our level of expert customization, along with our service, is what has earned us the Sarasota Herald Tribune’s Reader’s Choice Award 19 years in a row for stunning wedding flower designs. We aim to not only please but impress, working within your budget to achieve that “Wow” factor and giving you highly-personalized attention along the way.


What Makes Our Business Stand Out From Other Vendors Is:

We buy our flowers direct from the farm and fresh from all over the world. The quality of our florals is top-notch, and yet we’re still able to offer competitive wedding flower pricing to our clients. Whether it’s the most romantic occasion of your life, a huge corporate gala, or a milestone birthday, we’re here to translate your floral fantasies into reality.


One Thing Most Couples Would Be Surprised to Know About Us Is:

The size of our operation and the rental resources we provide.

Coastal Dusty Blue Waterfront Wedding | Tampa Bay Watch

I wanted an organic feel to my flowers, with more blooms than greenery. My theme/keywords were warm pinks, peach, beige, deep emerald foliage, elegant, garden party, romantic, timeless. I wanted a florist who understood my vision and was passionate about their clients and delivering quality services.

I chose Beneva after looking at previous weddings they had done. Throughout the process, I worked with Corona. She was amazing! She was always willing to chat with me to discuss my vision, make changes, and make sure the flowers were everything I dreamed of. Beneva nailed it!

I wanted greens along with soft white flowers to match the springtime theme but also stay on the conservative side. Along with the flowers, I imagined a candle theme throughout the wedding.

Beneva Weddings created the exact image, if not even better than what I wanted. They were extremely professional and went above and beyond for us. Every single piece they created for our wedding was spectacular.

We wanted a florist who could look at our vision and make it come to life. With Beneva Weddings, we just showed them the theme we were going for and let them make the decisions. We had no particular flower or design we were looking for; we just knew our colors and that we wanted limited decor. We let the flowers be more of the decor and centerpieces and chose Beneva because we got to work with the florist, Samantha. She really brought our ideas to life and seemed genuinely excited to take on our project.

Elegant Coral and Pink Tropical Sarasota Wedding | The Resort at Longboat Key Club

When I started to look at flowers, I absolutely loved the idea of potted white orchids, and I wanted an all-white orchid bouquet, but I just couldn’t get away from my love for color!

After talking about my ideas with Beneva Weddings, I was so happy that I would be able to incorporate orchids and many different tropical flowers, such as ginger root and palm leaves, into our design.

Working with Beneva Weddings was a dream. They understood my vision right away! They were able to incorporate my love for white orchids while still using pops of color with colorful tropical flowers throughout our design. We were blown away by our beautiful flower semi-arch at our ceremony and the amazing bridal and bridesmaids bouquet they created for us! Corona was incredibly easy to work with, and she was always willing to make adjustments. As an out-of-town bride, I loved that all the proposals included photos of what the floral designs would look like, so I could visualize what I would see on the wedding day.

Our priorities were creativity and staying within our budget. Beneva Weddings was one of the preferred vendors for our venue.

Beneva Weddings exceeded my expectations because it's hard to know what the flowers are going to actually look like when you put every piece together, but it turned out better than I could have imagined, and I was in love with my bouquet! They were happy to change things until we created the perfect combination of florals.

The best, Beneva Weddings for sure. We knew that our ceremony arch was atypical and easy to mess up. They nailed it. No regrets here.
