    Stunning Floral Arrangements

    Doug and the Purple Poppy did an amazing job on our wedding floral arrangements. All I had to do was tell him my colors and style and the rest was history! Doug is so incredibly talented and all of our arrangements and bouquet's etc. were exquisite! Thank you so very much Doug, for making our wedding so beautiful with the flowers - they were so gorgeous, everyone forgot it was a cloudy day - they brightened up the whole event! Doug is clearly a seasoned professional and knows his stuff. We have and will continue to be long time customers of the Purple Poppy because of HIM! Thank you Doug - Love love love your florals!

    I worked with Robert at the Purple Poppy. He was amazing! I was unsure what I wanted for flowers for my wedding going in. I showed him my dress and the bridal party's attire along with the colors and theme of the wedding and he was able to envision what he thought I would love and would compliment everything. Let me tell you, everything was fabulous!!! The bouquets were gorgeous and the alter arraignments were amazing. We will definitely be using them in the future for all of our floral needs. I highly recommend the Purple Poppy. They had great prices!

    Doug did my sister's wedding in 2016 and did a BEAUTIFUL job. There was no question who my florist would be for my June wedding - he took my vision for my wedding and made it 100x better than I could have ever imagined. I have seriously never seen anything as beautiful as the work he did for my head table, and my guests/those who have seen our pictures and wedding video have not stopped raving about it! Doug and Robert both went above and beyond for me - they answered tons of texts/emails, were there on my wedding day and even moved arrangements from the church to the reception so that we could reuse them! I can not say enough about their work, and also they are the most fun people to be around. Planning a wedding is very stressful, and the best advice I could give to anybody would be to surround yourself with positive people you can trust - The Purple Poppy are those people!!

    My daughter and I could not be happier with the work that Purple Poppy did at her wedding. Their professionalism was off the charts and they made us feel like we were their only customers. It was Mother's Day weekend, prom season, as well as college graduations and we never once felt like they were stressed. Doug and Robert saw my daughter's vision of her flowers for the reception and went above and beyond our expectations.

    I left my first impromptu visit at purple poppy feeling like I had just made two new best friends. Doug and Robert are absolutely wonderful, they made me laugh, stayed well within my budget, flattered all my bridesmaids, and most importantly - created what can only be described as artwork for my wedding bouquets.

    I wanted something simple and rustic for an outdoor wedding.. and these two hit it out of the park. Rather than having cliche baby's breath stuffed in bird cages, they talked me down from my Pintrest cliff - and created stunning, unique bouquets that about made me cry when I finally saw how perfect they were.

    Like another reviewer - I had never given a single thought to my flowers, and really could not have cared any less about them -- until after seeing how breathtaking the arrangements these two gentlemen created actually were. We talked about my budget, and they were able to stay well within the limit no problem. It was absolutely fabulous to work with them. I recommend them to you without any hesitation whatsoever!

    My daughter's wedding was at the State Club in Raleigh on April 22 and The Purple Poppy Florist did all the flowers for her wedding. Everything was perfect and beautiful, My daughter absolutely LOVED her bouquet as well as the bridesmaids. Her flower colors were shades of pink which complemented the navy gowns beautifully. The centerpiece at reception were also beautiful. I received many comments about how beautiful the flowers were. I did take some home and they stayed fresh for over 1 week!, I would definitely send anyone looking for quality and beauty to this florist. Doug and Robert are true professionals! Thank You So Much! Kathy, Mom of Bride!

    We would definitely recommend The Purple Poppy Florist. Doug, the owne discussed everything with me when we first met. He simplified everything by mentioning the many considerations we needed to look at. From the wedding party and church flowers, to the mother of the groom corsage and centerpiece arrangements, Doug and his staff did an exceptional job. They were personable, professional, courteous and accommodating. Do not hesitate calling Doug to discuss your wedding.

    I highly recommend Doug and the team at Purple Poppy. Not only are they professional and personable but they are also remarkable - truly one in a million! From the minute we sat down together during our consultation I knew he would be able to bring my vision to life.

    About two weeks before the wedding I sent Doug a picture of my hair and asked if he could create something for me to use since I wasn't planning on having a veil. The result was like nothing I had ever seen before! I received so many compliments on the piece he designed.

    In addition to this show stopping head piece he bridal bouquet and the centerpieces did not disappoint! I was blow away by how Doug had made my vision come to life and how beautiful it all looked.

    If you are looking for a florist I would look no further than the Purple Poppy!

    From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for all that you did for my wedding! Everything was flawless and absolutely stunning. You perfectly captured exactly what I was envisioning but you made it all even more beautiful! I love looking back on photos of the floral arrangements and I always find myself thinking "sheesh, our wedding could be in magazines!". We received SO many compliments on the the flower arrangements, table decor and arbor. You all are so skilled and so great at what you do and I am beyond grateful to have worked with you!

    Absolutely the best at what they do. Robert and Doug are so talented and personable. I could not have asked for better people to work with. I gave Robert a few ideas I had and he ran with it. The floral at our wedding was the most beautiful I have ever seen. They added special touches and paid attention to detail which was important to me. I had so many compliments and guests telling me it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to.

    I cannot say enough good things about The Purple Poppy. The first time I met their team, I walked in off the street without an appointment, and they sat down for almost two hours discussing every little detail about my wedding in an attempt to make everything perfect. I knew then that I had made the right decision in coming to them to do the flowers for my October wedding in Downtown Raleigh. I inundated them with calls and questions over the next year, making changes and additions to my order several times, and they were always so accommodating and kind.

    I literally had no idea through all of this just how BEAUTIFUL my flowers would be. When they arrived at the hotel room to drop off our bouquets, I was brought to tears. They were seriously so stunning and unique.

    Stop your search, because this is the ONLY company in the area I would trust to do flowers. They make art with flowers, and that's not an exaggeration. Not only are they professional, but the people at The Purple Poppy are just genuinely good people.

    We were eloping and only had a small silk request. Several other florist were not accommodating. I had given up when I decided to try once more and contacted Purple Poppy. I spoke to Doug who carefully listened to me and simply responded that I should stop in that afternoon. I was delighted to find my order beautifully completed and ready to go when I arrived. Had he not been so willing to help, I would not have had the flowers for our wedding.

    Doug and the team were super to work with. When we met with them about our wedding, I knew as soon as I left that I would be using them. Not only did the produce beautiful flowers for both my bridal portraits and wedding day, they also made other great suggestions style wise for the wedding that I ended up going with. They were great to work with throughout the whole process and I would highly recommend them for any of your floral needs!

    While many women have been dreaming about their wedding day since they were young and know every detail for their wedding, I never got past the dress and venue. When we walked in to Purple Poppy, I had absolutely no ideas as to what flowers we wanted, colors for groomsmen, and much more. Robert immediately put our minds at ease. I showed him my dress and the bridesmaids’ dresses and he did the rest. His artistic ability with flowers was endless. Not only did he help us make the perfect flowers for our day, he also gave us great advice (all of which we listened to) on everything wedding related. He is in large part why everything looked so good the day of the wedding.
    When we signed with him for the flowers, we told him we would trust his abilities as far as flowers and arrangements were concerned. When we arrived at our venue the day of our wedding, everyone’s breath was taken away by how absolutely beautiful the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, accent flowers, and decorations that Purple Poppy provided. Not only were his prices beyond reasonable, but he is extremely talented. We will continue to visit Purple Poppy when we need flowers because Robert proved that he has no limit in how much he can amaze with his ability. Thank you for everything Robert!

    Doug and Robert are the best! The flowers at my daughter's wedding (from the bridal bouquet to the centerpieces) were absolutely stunning! The guests were betting on whether or not they were real! The staff at the Purple Poppy is unbelievably creative and so wonderful to work with. When you meet for your consultation, you have an idea of what you want. Then they take your vision and create something remarkable! My daughter's wedding was at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary and someone from their staff stopped me and commented on the gorgeous flowers! I was absolutely thrilled with everything at The Purple Poppy!!

    What an amazing florist!! My youngest daughter got married in October and we went back to the Purple Poppy after they did a wonderful job on my oldest daughter's wedding six years ago. We worked with Doug both times and we were extremely pleased with his ideas and talent. Each time we gave him the colors they had chosen and we gave him full reign designing everything, and the ceremonies and receptions were beautiful! All of the bouquets, the center pieces, the boutonnieres, the corsages, and the flowers on the cake were absolutely stunning! I have friends who even now, still comment on how gorgeous the flowers were at both weddings. The entire staff was wonderful to work with. You won't find a more creative florist anywhere! Many, many thanks to The Purple Poppy for giving all of us lasting memories of two very special days!!

    We worked with Robert at Purple Poppy for our October wedding and couldn't have been more pleased! Robert is a creative genius who helped us with our whole centerpiece concepts as well as some of the other decor for our venue. Unlike other wedding vendors, Robert never tried to make us budget on our floral budget. He gave us beautiful arrangements within our budget and we received numerous compliments on our flowers!

    My daughter and I went to the Purple Poppy to have all the flowers done for her wedding (held on 9/13/14). We came in with some ideas of what we were looking for for the church, the reception and the bridal party's flower. The team at Purple Poppy were wonderful to work with and met with us twice to discuss our plans. They took our ideas to a much higher design level (without increasing the budget we had discussed). Everything they created was absolutely beautiful!! The arrangements and bouquets were so romantic and the colors they recommended just "popped" when placed against the main color of the wedding -- dark (royal) purple. Everyone LOVED the flowers. My favorite above all, though, was the bridal bouquet! The Purple Poppy's vision has created a beautiful family memory for us. We will continue to go our friends -- Doug, Robert, Betsy and Brandi -- for our future floral needs.

    Purple Poppy Florist was a DREAM to work with. The guys are so friendly and fun. They captured my vision for the centerpieces PERFECTLY - guests are still gushing over the flowers :) My bouquet was stunning, the bridesmaid bouquets were perfect. I can't say enough good things about the skill, professionalism and quality of Purple Poppy's work. At the peak of bridal season, I can imagine how difficult it must be to maintain good communication with clients, but I never experienced this with Purple Poppy - they are wonderfully responsive and I never felt like anything except a priority. As a bride, having a vendor who actually LESSENS stress and helps you get excited for your big day is the best thing you can ask for!
