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.

    So happy with our choice to use Carla & Dear Dahlia for our wedding flowers! All of the arragements were beautiful and vibrant, exactly what we envisioned and more. They brought my vision to life when I truly wasn't even sure what I wanted. The arrangements brought so much color and life to the entire day — from the bouquets to the ceremony arch everything was gorgeous. They were super communicative, friendly, & easy to work with :)

    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.
