Beautiful flowers and a VIP experience

Maria and the team at Dereves Floral made our wedding vision come to life! Trust me when I say that the flowers for our wedding looked absolutely perfect. Everything was absolutely breathtaking - the bouquets, the boutonnieres, the custom archway, and the centerpieces. Maria listened to our vision and brought my Pinterest board to life! But it's about so much more than the flowers. Maria was incredibly kind, attentive, responsive, and respectful of our budget. If you are a bride who wants beautiful flowers AND a VIP experience from start to finish, this is the vendor for you. I could not have asked for a more wonderful experience or a more beautiful execution. If I could give 6 stars, I would!

Maria and her team at Dereves are simply the best!

We could not have asked for a better vendor (and friend!) than Maria at Dereves Floral. My now-husband and I had decided quite late in 2021 (in September!) to get married by the end of the year and had reached out since she had designed the flowers for my brother's wedding in 2019 and they had also described having a great experience. Despite a super accelerated timeline and neither of us really knowing much about floral design, Maria worked with us to pull in the colours and vibe of our intimate winter wedding and, day-of, pulled off the most miraculous room flip from our ceremony space to dinner table. (For days after, our guests gushed over the first impression of walking into the space and seeing the centrepieces!) She even helped us find a way to incorporate candles into a venue with strict open flame rules and, in doing so, help created the most wonderful ambiance and photo memories. Maria's amazing and what she does and - bonus - is an absolute delight to work with. I'd recommend her to anyone!!

Wonderful Florist

Maria was wonderful to work with. She brought my vision to life and made it even more special than I could have imagined. She was flexible through a few changes we had to make due to a venue change. She had great recommendations throughout the process and delivered everything on budget. She’s a true artist. Thank you!

A Transcontinental Triumph of Floral Service

I am writing this review from the sunny shores of Newport Beach, California, absolutely thrilled and genuinely excited to extend my heartfelt appreciation to a phenomenal flower shop in Toronto, Canada. Their exceptional service and dedication to customer satisfaction are indeed deserving of a full five-star rating!

The star of this florist's show is none other than Maria, who provided an unmatched level of service that has left me both impressed and grateful. Despite the considerable distance, she made the process feel as seamless and personal as if I were standing right there in the store.

Upon my call, Maria was immediately attentive, asking a series of well-crafted questions to understand exactly what I was looking for. Her insightful inquiries made it clear that she was not merely interested in making a sale, but rather, in ensuring that the floral arrangement was perfect, tailored to my friend's preferences, and delivered on time.

The result? An arrangement that was not only perfectly executed but was also delivered punctually and received with an ecstatic acclaim. My friend hailed it as the finest floral arrangement she had ever received!

So, from the Golden State to the Great White North, I want to extend my warmest thanks to Maria and her team. Your dedication, skill, and incredible customer service have brightened more than one day. Please continue to provide such excellent service, keeping customers' needs and desires at the heart of what you do.

In a world where customer service often falls short, this flower shop in Toronto stands as a shining example of getting it right. Thank you again, Maria, for exceeding my expectations. You've truly earned these five stars!

Dereves is amazing!

Maria at Dereves you are AMAZING!!! Believe me when I say, with two months to plan a quick wedding, and about 83 florists contacted, Dereves was the only one to hit the nail on the head with understanding the vibe we were going for our wedding. Not only did Dereves get the theme right, but the quality of the design and cost were unmatched!! Thank you Maria for going above and beyond to make our vision come true and bringing the Tulum Disco vibes to Toronto!! Super friendly, quality staff, detail-oriented service and overall THE BEST experience. I honestly would not go anywhere else. I can't say enough good things..

the most warm, intimate experience. treated us like family! really took the time to get to know us, what kind of feel we wanted for our wedding day.

We can not praise Dereves enough. Working with Maria was a true floral dream. She is warm and thoughtful, with superior attention to detail. She really took our vision into account and used her expertise to execute it flawlessly. I wanted simple, classic, clean lines, all clear vase, only white roses, a touch of blue hydrangeas and she created the most stunning bouquets and centrepieces. it was modern yet classic, true minimalist beauty. we were so lucky to have her magic touch at our wedding!
