I was so impressed with the response time from the business when I sent a few questions before ordering. Then I was even more impressed when my big order arrived within 5 days of placing it. The favors are perfect for my wedding! Such a stress relief that they came all assembled. They are so beautiful too. I cant wait to hear my guests reaction!

Amazing customer service

Terry and her team were amazing to work with for our wedding items. We got married out of town and she coordinating shipping so there would be enough time to re-ship if anything was damaged in transit. Amazing experience and would definitely use them again!

Beautiful and arrive in time, great customer service

I was impressed with the quality and how fast everything arrived. The clothes were already washed and had a wonderful scent. The candles were wrapped very well, came completely fine. I made a mistake with an order the customer service replied and corrected it right away. I highly recommend this service. I have three daughters, a little time away but I know where to look for wedding accessories.

Baptismal candles

The Alexia candles were lovely. Dahlia has an excellent selection and the quality is superb. I looked at several web pages before I ordered from Dahlia. I was very pleased with how quickly I received my candles which were packed securely. At this time, going to a store was not possible so I was delighted to buy online.
