A well-decorated space brings an event to life, warmly welcomes guests, and shows you’ve put thought into the occasion. At Dorothy McDaniel’s Flower Market, we specialize in professional floral design and event décor for showers, birthdays, and other special gatherings.
Our team works closely with event hosts across Birmingham to ensure every detail matches the tone of the celebration, just as you imagined it.
Full-Service Party Decorations

Types of Parties We Decorate
Our bridal showers include soft florals, thoughtful accents, and cohesive styling, creating a space the bride will remember and guests will talk about for years.
We provide florals and other cheerful details that bring warmth to every corner of the room and capture the spirit of the growing family.
We’ve styled intimate dinners, garden parties, and larger gatherings, adorning them with layered décor and natural florals centered around the guest of honor.
Our work often includes floral centerpieces, welcome table arrangements, and decorative accents for guest seating or bar areas. We can provide garden-style arrangements for outdoor events or add height with hanging installations and other statement pieces.
We approach each Bar and Bat Mitzvah with thoughtful attention to detail, using color, texture, and meaningful design elements to celebrate this important milestone in a way that feels festive and respectful of tradition.

Client Testimonials
“I received my first Dorothy McDaniel flower arrangement as a college freshman at Birmingham-Southern over 40 years ago. I have been a Dorothy McDaniel super fan ever since.
Despite leaving Alabama decades ago, Dorothy McDaniel’s Flower Market has been my go-to for any time, [whether] sending flowers was necessary or totally frivolous! I have never been disappointed.
Recently, I worked directly with Dorothy on an event—long distance, no less. Dorothy understood my vision (and budget!) and used her artistry, knowledge, and experience to create centerpieces and cake toppers beyond my wildest dreams!
Her stunning arrangements were absolute works of art and one of the hottest topics of conversation at the party. Every guest wanted to know who did the flowers. Huge Success! Thank you, Dorothy, for sharing your amazing talent with us to take our Surprise Birthday Party over the top!”
“Dorothy did gorgeous flowers for our wedding welcome party and dinner [that we] held at the John Hand Club. She was highly recommended. As I am from out of town, we met once at her shop and did the rest of the planning by phone and email, which worked out great.
So many guests commented on the beautiful flowers throughout the setting. They really were stunning. I could not be happier with how everything turned out.”
