Alyssa was incredible to work with and her floral creations absolutely blew me away. They were one of my favorite parts of our wedding and really elevated the whole look and feel. Her arrangements are unique but timeless and I couldn't have dreamed of better! The whole process was so easy, I sent her a few photos, we had a couple of phone calls and she absolutely nailed it!

The flowers were BEAUTIFUL for our ceremony but above all else Alyssa was incredibly lovely and easy to work and plan with, which I appreciated so much during stressful wedding planning. Flowers can be so tricky when you know nothing about them (and it can help to do a little research first on what you like and don't like; share inspo pictures, etc.). Alyssa was so organized and on the ball with emails and then timing for the day-off. ALSO she made sure our flowers would last for Day 2 photos and provided me with so many extra roses in case the ones in my bouquet started to droop on Day 2. I didn't need them but got to make myself an extra little bouquet anyway; the one picture was my DIY ;). Flowers were really important to me for my wedding and we were beyond grateful for Alyssa helping to create our vision.

Alyssa exceeded all of our expectations , she went above and beyond to make our florals what wedding dreams are made of! Alyssa’s prices and value for her beautiful floral talents are the best in the basin. Alyssa made sure to meet with us in advance to go over each and every detail before our wedding day to ensure that it was exactly what we envisioned. She ensured that the vision we had our big day was in line with the inspiration board we provided her including 2 large arch arrangements, 2 bride’s bouquets,9 center pieces, 5 boutonniere, and 6 corsages . She also made sure everything was picture perfect for our bouquets including incorporating a picture pendant as well as carefully wrapping our bouquets in hand lettered ribbons that I had traced my late mothers handwriting on. She ensured that these special ribbons were wrapped perfectly and we will forever treasure these as it helped both of us feel close to my mom who attended the wedding within our hearts, she even created a custom lantern corsage for the occasion. In addition, Alyssa was also able to troubleshoot an issue and pivot as needed when the original plan for our center pieces didn’t work out. She quickly and calmly explained the issue at hand and provided us with several options for remedying the issue, we truly believe that the center pieces she provided were even better than our original idea! Following our wedding, we received numerous compliments about our florals and overall vibe of the wedding that she helped us craft. Alyssa is amazing to work with and we recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality floral experience!

We married in Joshua Tree in October 2022. Alyssa was hired for a small wedding of 25 people for coordinating, styling, and floral arrangements. The wedding planning itself had a few major bumps, including the loss of the reception venue about 6 months in and then a rain downpour right during our ceremony time (yes, in the desert!) which made us pivot plans about 5 times! However, Alyssa was a true champion through it all. She always kept us assured that everything was going to be okay and came in clutch when we had to rearrange plans (several) times. It’s clear that Alyssa loves weddings and truly cares about ensuring that a lot couple’s big day goes smoothly - even with major curve balls!

Her styling and eye for detail is impeccable. Some of our flowers and table arrangements blew away with the rain- but even after that Alyssa STILL managed to make everything look beautiful!

As of right now she is not booking coordinating offers, but she is still available for floral design. I highly recommend Alyssa for her services - you won’t be disappointed!

After we decided that we were going to elope in Joshua Tree, I went to Instagram to start looking for vendors. I could not have been luckier to have stumbled upon Alyssa first.

After exchanging a few emails, I knew that I needed Alyssa to help us execute our day. She was extremely timely with email exchanges and incredibly helpful every step of the way.

Our needs were relatively simple, but Alyssa treated us with so much care and respect. She recommended vendors, let us ship supplies to her and helped us feel secure in our park permits. On our elopement day she was responsible for picking up our cake and dinner, setting up our “reception” and cleaning up when we were finished.

Her decor was beautiful and made our simple, sweet day so special. I will cherish the photos and memories forever.

Having someone on my team that knew the area and could provide me with vendor recommendations was priceless. Alyssa is incredible at her job and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone wanting a special, beautiful, intimate elopement experience.

Thanks again, Alyssa!

I highly recommend Desert Rose Creative for your wedding/elopement! She created a beautiful bouquet and center pieces for my intimate wedding in Joshua Tree in December 2022. I was beyond impressed with what she created just from my inspiration pictures! She was also a joy to work with and went above and beyond in helping me donate my flowers after my wedding (and recommending someone to preserve my bouquet)!

I’m still a little shocked over how bad our ceremony flowers were. The first two pictures are the inspiration I sent and the third picture is what we got. I wanted stacked potted plants and flowers. It was supposed to look full, healthy, and flourishing. Instead, I got like 5 small, sad, wonky cactuses. It was so tacky and horrible to also be able to fully see the crates. I asked Alyssa if she had basket pots to use and she said yes. No idea what happened to that. It looks like someone came and stole all our flowers. I don’t know what she was thinking. Alyssa specially asked me if I wanted flowers on our arch and I told her I really just wanted the potted plants. I said that the plants should be voluminous enough so that we don’t need flowers on the arch. She did the flowers on the arch anyway, I guess to try and make up for how bad the potted plants looked. But it wasn’t what we wanted. This was $2,000. I don’t understand how that’s possible. I wish she was honest and told us she wasn’t able to do it rather than put some $5 cactuses on crates and call it a day.

At first, I thought a “stress free wedding” is an imaginary mythical concept. Then I encountered Alyssa from Desert Rose Wedding Co. Huge thanks to all her hard work, dedication, passion, creativity and attention to detail, the day of my wedding flowed so smoothly. Everything was simply seamless. I feel like she did every little thing for me (which she did) and all I did was show up! She was our officiant, florist, coordinator, planner, event stylist/designer, and my wedding day support system, backbone, glue, and cheerleader. I couldn’t ask her for more. From start to finish, she executed everything to perfection. The word perfect is an understatement, just saying. I’ve already started recommending her to friends. Do yourself a huge favor and make your life easier, hire Alyssa from Desert Rose Wedding Co! You won’t regret it. It will provide you with the ultimate privilege to enjoy every single millisecond of the biggest day of your life. Thank you so very much, Alyssa!
