Dawn Kelly has a gift…read more My mom, ever the skeptic of everything, wondered whether Dawn was "more than we needed" in a florist. She, perhaps, imagined the simplicity of a Main Street mom-and-pop florist who would put together some nice tabletop arrangements and be on their merry way. It's true, Dawn Kelly is so much more than that (although I would argue not necessarily cost-wise). And, yes, you need her! I fancy myself an artist of sorts (don't we all?). Dawn was patient and BRILLIANT at interpreting the nonsense that spewed from my mouth about Dutch Masters and English gardens (seriously who am I and why did someone even want to marry me?). She not only developed beautiful concepts based on my ideas and helped shape my thoughts into a true VISION, she did so in an organized, straightforward fashion with pricing that ended up being extraordinarily accurate. No surprises in the end; just stunningly perfect flowers and decor. She truly designs decor for your event that goes beyond flowers down to tabletop details like taper candles, unique and eclectic vases, etc. She looks to be economical for you when it makes sense and works well. For example, she suggested we repurpose our aisle arrangements from the church on the tables during our cocktail hour. Her details -- like corsages and boutonnières -- were unique and helped to better define our wedding and set it apart from the rest. She is a key reason our wedding captured elements of who we really are, and she delivered above and beyond, all for what we felt was reasonably pricing. If you are hosting a wedding or major event on Nantucket, I could not recommend Dawn more highly.

My experience working with Dawn was just terrible. I think she is unprofessional and I would not…read morerecommend her to anyone. Our flowers literally could not have been worse. Every item we paid for was of extremely poor quality and aesthetic. Dawn told me that she was going to have to specially import a type of hydrangea, because the color I wanted was out of season and it would be significantly more expensive~ I understood this, and agreed. The "specially imported" and "expensive" hydrangea that was actually used in my flower arrangements was a REGULAR white hydrangea that she SPRAY PAINTED hot pink (my wedding color). You should also know that I'm a floral designer~regular white hydrangeas do not need to be imported and spray paint does not make a flower a "special and expensive import". My bridal bouquet cost $350.00 and the bridesmaids bouquets cost $95.00 each and somehow, my bouquet was the tiniest of all the bouquets. The flowers in my bouquet were supposed to be "premium" blooms, but there were literally 4 premium flowers in my bouquet. Half of the flowers were dead and should have never been used. The bouquet's wraps had staples hanging out of them. The corsages were literally falling apart before the ceremony even began. We actually had to scotch tape them together :( The boutonnieres each had a bunch of loops when we specifically said "no loops". After the wedding we tried to contact Dawn to talk about our concerns and 3 weeks later, she still has not returned our phone calls or emails. My mom even stopped by her shop and left a note for her to please follow up with us. Apparently, she doesn't care about providing any level of customer service once she has her money. If I could give zero stars I would.

I discovered there are a lot of imitation baskets on the market that are cheaper but they're often made overseas and even machine made. These baskets can be used as purses, furniture pieces, or decorative designs for the home. These are art pieces that can be passed down for generations. These cost a pretty penny but considering the amount of time that goes into each of these pieces and the precious stones and antique ivory that adorn them, it's really worth it the price you'd pay for a keepsake from Nantucket. Michael also does a lot of custom orders but expect a wait list for these.

I make baskets as a hobby and have sold them at craft fairs. These baskets are beautifully crafted.read more
