Whatever your vision is for your wedding day, Duarte is more than capable of bringing that vision to life. We had a non-traditional wedding at the Hemingway Home & Museum and we really wanted a coffin shaped arch we could also take with us and Monika made that a reality. Our florals were incredible and exactly on theme and everyone who attended our wedding was so impressed with the arrangements. My bouquet was stunning and I was just blown away at the quality of all of the florals.Photos by: Danielle Love Photography

Monika at Duarte worked with me for two years to perfectly execute my wedding day vision! She has great advice and communication to make sure her flowers are exactly as you want them. I was so impressed with the quality and care that went into our wedding day flowers and guests complimented them all night! They went above and BEYOND. :)

There are no words that could accurately reflect the genius that is Monika and the entire staff at Duarte. I went in to her space not knowing what I wanted and she dreamed up a vision that made my wedding an absolute fairytale. I cry every single time I think about what she pulled off for me on a rainy day at The Hemingway Home. She had every single detail handled, down to the napkins. I have never seen anything so beautiful and every single guest has said that it was the most perfect wedding that they had ever attended. I could go on for days, but I will end with some advice...do yourself a favor and use Duarte. Just do it. Don't even think any more. She is a visionary and I am blessed to have been able to be a witness to her talent.

Started planning my perfect Key West Wedding this time last year, November 2021. After doing some instagram research on Key West weddings I came across Duarte Floral Design in almost every post, video I looked at. Each one was just as beautiful as the next. I had already envisioned what I wanted for a perfect tropical fall aesthetic for floral design and had done many searches on pinterest of course! My husband took the lead with this and was able to portray my vision directly to Monica (the owner). We visited with her February of 2022 and she had showed us arrangements and settings exactly as would appear day of. Everything was perfect come day of so much so It literally looked like it belonged on pinterest. The flowers made everything look so magical and whimsical just the way I had hoped and wanted. Thank you to Monica, and the whole Duarte team!!!! The most amazing job ever!

HIRE THEM!!!!this is the best floral company in the Keys. Monika is the most creative professional I’ve met through my wedding planning process. She created the most amazing flowers for me. She has such a creative eye and can create almost anything you want. Her studio is so cool, she has such a huge assortment of tableware and flower options you can not go wrong.I was blown away by my wedding flowers, I knew she was talented but she exceeded my expectations. the best thing I ever did was hire Duarte, they are truly the best. She guided me through linens, candles, bridesmaid bouquets, flower types. She does the whole picture with ease, her eye is IMMACULATE.P.S she can do anything but if you want a unique modern and editorial style wedding that looks like it can be in Vogue Weddings, she will knock it out of the park. I’ve seen her more traditional weddings as well and they are just as beautiful!!

It’s really hard to put in to words how lovely of a job they did. If you are thinking of using them as a florist, do it! Monika really cares about her job, and it shows. She’s detail oriented, and a true artist.(Photo is care photography)

Recommended by our venue Duarte Florals were great to work with! Very flexible with budget and ideas. Was able to accommodate last minute add -on floral arrangements. Sent pinterest photos and ideas for wedding floral arrangements they were able to replicate beautifully as well as inform us which flowers to choose based on look and price etc... very informative about flowers and which are best to use. Very responsive via email and phone. They are familiar with Key West and our venue at the Hemingway Home along with our cake shop we used for florals on our wedding cake. Definitely recommend.

The team at Duarte really goes above and beyond! Not only are the arrangements stunning, but Monika was incredibly supportive and responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process and very accommodating as things moved and shifted around. They really made our wedding day vision even more amazing than I could have ever planned. Absolutely recommend!

I booked Monika and her team for my wedding on 11/6/2021. She was so great to work with and blew us all away with how romantic and elegant she transformed our venue, Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, into. Monika is very professional and you can tell she loves what she does. The flower arrangements she did for my bouquet, my bridesmaids bouquets, and the table arrangements were absolutely stunning! Everything was beautiful and they stayed the entire time to make sure we were happy. She transformed the Fort Zachary fortress into something I didn’t even think was possible. She has such great ideas and really listens to what you are trying to accomplish. I am so happy she was a part of my wedding team!! I would highly recommend them!-Kristin and Sandy Santiago

WOW I am floored by the dreamy, stunning, and unique display of florals Duarte provided for my wedding this weekend. We received endless compliments and I was completely beside myself. I will be dreaming of these florals for years to come. I’ll probably come up with any excuse to recreate my bridal bouquet again in the future! Highly highly recommend this fantastic company! Monika completely blew us away! Bravo Duarte!!
