At Specialty Floral Design, we cherish the narrative behind every bloom, striving to transform your vision into a breathtaking reality through our floral expertise. Our philosophy revolves around crafting personalized experiences. We weave your tale into each meticulously arranged bouquet, infusing it with individuality, care, and creativity.

Hey there! I’m Tara Dixon! You know, being based here in Olympia, Washington, right in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, gives me this amazing edge in my floral designs. Unlike traditional florists, I forage amidst the stunning PNW outdoors, collecting treasures that most would overlook—moss, moss sticks, acorns, and bark—transforming them into captivating elements within the designs. It's a seamless blend of nature's gifts and artistic ingenuity. And here's the kicker—I handle everything solo. From the moment you call to the second, I deliver your beautiful arrangement, it's all me. I'm the designer, the voice on the phone, and the one at your door. Every bit of what I do is personal and crafted with care. I'm constantly eager to learn more. There's always something new in the floral world, isn't there? I'm itching to enroll in new courses, explore fresh techniques, and stay updated with the latest trends. It's all about ensuring I bring you the very best." Transparency is key! I believe in honest communication with my clients, addressing your queries with candor, and, crucially, knowing when to offer alternative plans. A testament to my commitment to delivering nothing short of excellence. And, oh boy, do I love 80 and 90’s Country! There's just something about those tunes that gets my creative juices flowing. They're the soundtrack to my floral magic. In a world saturated with mass-produced floral arrangements, I want to stand as a beacon of individuality, intertwining the splendor of the PNW with creative flair. When you choose me, you're not just getting flowers; you're getting a piece of the PNW and a whole lot of heart in every arrangement I make.

We’re sorry to hear that the arrangement did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that our florist was friendly and that you were able to pick up your order smoothly.
The Madly in Love arrangement that you purchased on our website is designed with red roses and orchids, as stated in the product description and shown in the image. This arrangement does not include lilies. Many customers choose this design specifically for the orchids. The standard version features three orchid blooms, while the premium upgrade you selected included at least ten orchid blooms.
The roses in your arrangement arrived at our studio the day before and were carefully inspected for quality. However, we understand that expectations can vary, and we regret that you were disappointed with the final design.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue reviewing our product descriptions and photos to ensure clarity. Please get in touch with us at 360-688-6608 and we can discuss this issue further. Again, thank you for the feedback. Tara

My friend was very happy about her birthday plants and the arrangement was delivered on time.

Dear Leiann, Thank you for your feedback, I am so sorry you didn't like the flowers substitution in your design. I did send you a picture before it was delivered and waited almost two hours for an email to see if you liked the design. I didn't receive any response and thought it was ok to delivery. I am sorry for the miscommunication and we have changed our policy about substitutions. Again thank you for taking the time and giving us feedback so we can be a better business.

Dear James,
Thank you for taking the time and giving us feedback, all reviews are taken seriously, so we can make better decisions for our team and business in the future. I looked back on the invoice, on the bouquet that was purchased through our website. The bouquet was purchased for $44.99 plus delivery and tax and was filled to value with green and yellow buttons, red roses, yellow spider mums, other accent flowers, PNW branches, and greens. I am so sorry your experience with us was not what you expected and would be happy to help if you want to talk by calling 360 688 6608. Thank you again for the feedback and Happy Valentine’s Day. Tara

|Tara even called and left a voicemail explaining the colors of the available flowers differed slightly from the picture. I was happy she went along with preparing and delivery without waiting for a response regarding such a small detail (I was busy and missed the call).
Great experience! Thanks so much.
