Shining Time Wedding

Absolutely could not recommend Rina and her team enough. She was a saving grace through all of the planning. She saw our vision and ran with it. Rina and her team were great at communication, budget planning, and design. I have no doubt that Rina was a key piece in our perfect day. Thank you so much Rina and Team!

My wedding was a dream transformed into reality, a feat unattainable without the contributions of our extraordinary coordinator and phenomenal florist. Admittedly, I have meticulous preferences regarding decorations and floral designs for weddings, but Shine addressed my ideas with flexibility and creativity. Rina demonstrated professionalism from our initial meeting as the doc, instilling confidence that my wedding was in good hands. Having them collaborate is undoubtedly a significant advantage, enhancing the seamless execution of the event.

I started my planning roughly 3 months in advance. Came across Shine's service on Redbook. To be honest, initially I was a little doubtful about vendors found online, but I decided to give it a try. It turned out that I was very fortunate to have worked with Shine, who was very helpful and patient throughout the whole planning process! She typically responded within hours and the quality of services and the ultimate proposal totally exceeded my expectation. Lots of questions thrown her way and she came up with a lot of great ideas (ranging from the initial outline/sketch of the proposal, to the specific elements that my fianc loves, to the coordination of other vendors/suppliers, to the ultimate proposal. It was money very well spent! Most importantly - i got a yes from my fianc and Shine's work played no small part in the process! I would totally recommend her service to anyone who is thinking about a proposal or wedding!

We hired Shining Time (Rina-Wedding planner and Shine-Florist) as my full-service planners for my wedding on 8/5/2023, and it was the best experience! They made sure that our wedding would be the most special and magical day of our lives. Months later, my busband and I are still amazed when we think about how helpful Shinning Time was to make our wedding happen. We cannot thank Shinning Time enough! They were dedicated and brought our ideas and vision to life. From the start to finish, they tirelessly worked hard to ensure that everything would go smoothly. The attention to details, the design, and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond our expectations. Our wedding ceremony and reception are are two different locations. Shine designed both events from beginning to finish. Both Rina and Shine made us feel like a VIP and made our lives SO much easier during the wedding planning process and the wedding day itself. They were very helpful and resourceful. They created so many beautiful memories for us. As a bride, I could be picky and anxious, but every single detail they did so perfectly and was right on point. The whole wedding day we just laughed and enjoyed, not having to worry about anything because we know we are in good hands of theirs. It was very easy to communicate with them if we needed to make adjustments or special requests. I would send them so many messages and emails every week and they always replied within hours with THE answers we needed. They made sure that we had all the information that we needed beforehand. During the wedding day, Shining Time and the team executed the plan perfectly. Thank you, Rina, Shine and team again for such professionalism and hospitality!! We would definitely recommend your services for weddings or future celebratory events.

Rina from Shining Time Wedding has a very rare trait that most designers don't have and that is the attention to the small details. She and her team have an eye for beautiful design, and that's hard to come by. There are many designers out there, but the designers that stand out are the ones that pay attention to the small details and execute well in design and that is Rina and her team at Shining Time Wedding. I reached out to Rina from Shining Time Wedding about 6 months before my wedding, and immediately, she was very informative and professional. Our first call was about an hour long, and she quickly followed up after that with a quote and I decided to work with her because of her diverse portfolio. She has a vast range of experience from cultural weddings to classic and traditional-themed weddings, so I felt confident in hiring her. I think her sincerity and kindness was what won me over and her attention to the small details was what was important ( You need to refer to her portfolio to understand what I mean by small details). Fast forward to 3 months before the wedding, we touch base and I share more of what I want as far as centerpieces, colors, decor, sweetheart table, etc, and everything is scheduled. Without having to say too much, Rina went above and beyond on my wedding day! The design and setup were beyond what I was expecting and she did more than what I paid for! I had an audience that was hard to please as they have been through many weddings, and every single family member expressed how impressed they were with the decor and how elegant everything looked! The guests all said it was the best wedding they have been to!!! JUST WOW! I'm beyond happy and satisfied with Rina's reasonable prices, flexibility, hardworking and beautiful design!!! Shining Time Wedding is the best florist and Wedding decor in Northern Virginia, and you can see for yourself by referring to their portfolio!!! Thank you Rina for your love, support, and hard work on my special day!!! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a florist for any occasion - baby showers, engagements, graduations, birthdays, weddings, and much more!!!
