Ordered an Easter lily for my daughter. She said it was beautiful and healthy delivered when requested.

I live out of state but I called to place an order for a family friend that had entered hospice care. Daniel Vaughn Designs was able to put together a beautiful arrangement and deliver that day. The recipient loved the flowers and I'm grateful I was able to get them to her so quickly. Would absolutely recommend for their kindness when placing the order and for their quality. read more

It was a major birthday for a very dear friend, and I called Daniel Vaughn to deliver a bouquet. I know almost nothing myself about flowers. Daniel asked me about my friend's taste and built a bouquet. His delivery service had to go back since my friend wasn't home and it was below freezing out; the bouquet couldn't be left. My friend was just so happy with the gift, she was in tears. She told me: "I feel so perfectly understood!" -- simply from the composition of the bouquet. So: kudos to Daniel in every way: for being able to discern what someone would like simply from a description of them, and for the beauty of his design, and considerate behavior at each step of our interaction. I recommend his business most highly. read more

I came here to write a very different review. I was going to tell you how I was not someone who had my whole wedding planned out before I found my husband, but I did know who I wanted as a florist. Daniel met with me to talk about my vision for my wedding and he quickly understood my style and what I was going for. He talked me through different parts of the day and even saved me some money on some things. I had some unique requests and he worked with me to figure it out and make it happen. He, Michael and his staff were so helpful and kind and went above and beyond. I had hoped to have peonies for my bouquet in August - I knew that was a big ask and it might not happen (which was fine) and they found the loveliest pink peonies! All of our flowers were stunning and the other portions of our decor that they were in charge of were done to perfection. Our wedding was at the Arboretum and the florals could have been lost amongst the gardens but they weren't - they were perfect. He also ensured that our reception was beautiful - beyond what I could ever dream of. That's the review that I came here to write. But 10 days after my wedding my father unexpectedly passed away and Daniel Vaughn Designs sent a gorgeous bouquet to my home upon hearing of his passing. I was already a happy customer, but I truly felt as though as I was treated like a friend. Daniel Vaughn Designs is just special and by far my favorite florist. read more

Daniel Vaughn Designs has saved the day twice for us in terms of bringing that extra flair to an extra special day for our daughter. Our daughter graduated from Penn State Law , the first 'save' was when she graduated law school - her graduation flowers were beautiful and all things a graduate from Penn State should have in terms of color & banner ! Yesterday our daughter received news in the wee morning hours that she had passed the New York State Bar exam .. moreover she received a major job offer as an attorney with her score ! It was a day that started her life in a way that I can't even explain unless you are a parent who has watched your child make a goal in her youth -- and attain it. TO be hit with a pandemic which took that exam and made it unprecedented in the way that again, NO one would understand unless they took it ! I ordered from FTD , as it was easy and I am far away from PA .. they took my money and a few hours later I received an email stating that despite them saying the florals I ordered to be delivered to our daughter were available and would be delivered to her place of work, they would not be available for delivery for three days . Well, I wanted flowers on the day she received this news ! I called Daniel Vaughn Design's and with no hesitation after I explained what happened we came up with a beautiful design - albeit MUCH nicer and larger and the same cost as the one from FTD. He even said , 'Why didn't you just call me first ?! Lol!' Good point and lesson learned! A photo was sent and when she got home to her place , this beautiful bouquet in ALL a of her favorite colors awaited her. He did have to call her to find the building as her condo is confusing and I'm okay with that ! I CAN NOT say how grateful I am for Daniel Vaughn Designs for coming in clutch on this day of extreme celebration; BUT for being one of the only places in State College that provides a high end style of flower and design which has been shown twice now when we have used them for florals for our daughter ! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Daniel of Daniel Vaughn designs for our wedding in November, 2022. From the very beginning of the process Daniel was exceedingly accommodating and professional and even arranged to meet with us near our home in Pittsburgh, despite being a couple hours away from our actual venue in Bedford, PA and his storefront in State College, PA. He has amazing insight, vision and taste and helped us cultivate the most beautiful look and feel for our wedding day. His expertise was much appreciated and he guided us when we needed inspiration and also accommodated our last minute changes with grace. He had amazing ideas and clearly still finds joy in helping couples achieve their wedding day vision. He helped make our wedding day so special and beautiful and we would recommend his services to any couple looking for an exceptional flourish for their wedding day! read more

A good friend was admitted to a hospital several Thursdays days ago and it looked like she would be discharged the following Monday. I called Vaughn design Saturday and asked if they could make a specific arrangement with an orchid in it and deliver it the same day. It didn't seem to be a problem. Later Saturday Sue's daughter called me to inform me she had passed away. Vaughn called me Monday to say the hospital would not accept it and they had no other information, I told them Sue had passed away. Vaughn immediately offered to refund my money. Sometimes a florist can salvage some parts of an arrangement, but the centerpiece being an orchid not at all. I fully expected to pay for the arrangement. To immediately offer and give a full refund speaks very highly of Vaughn's dedication. If I ever need flowers again in the State College area, it will definitely be Vaughn. read more

This company provided flowers for my daughter's wedding and it was perfect. She gave him the budget, colors, theme, and her overall vision. She gave him the freedom to create and his work exceeded our expectations. I can't call his work floral arrangements, more like artwork. In one word, brilliant. read more

Again, will order from Daniel Vaughan without hesitation. read more

Choosing Daniel Vaughn was hands down the best decicision I made when choosing all of my wedding vendors. After meeting with Daniel, he knew exactly my vision. I knew that he would take care of everything the day of the event and it would be one less thing on my mind. However, Daniel completely exceeded every expectation. The flowers were picked to perfection, every arrangement was placed perfectly and every detail was thoughtfully complete. From adding ribbons to my decor to filling in empty spaces. Daniel was such a pleasure to work with and it meant a lot to me that he valued my ideas and taste. I certainly value his. Our guests are still raving about the flowers! Thank you, Daniel Vaughn Designs! read more

Amazing blend of classic and forward thinking floral and event design. I've seen a lot of his work and it never disappoints. read more
