Absolutely gorgeous!

I had sent Heather a Pinterest board of my inspiration, and she brought my floral dreams to life! My family was even raving about the flowers at our intimate wedding and they were so excited to take home the centerpieces at the end of the night. She delivered exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend!

Heather is amazing

I hired By the Bay Floral, and from the very first phone conversation I had with Heather, I knew she was the one. There was something so comforting and confident in her voice, I instantly trusted her. After seeing the beautiful images on her website, I could already tell she had the creative eye and design sense to bring my vision to life.

Her knowledge of flowers absolutely blew me away. The way she talked about color, texture, and seasonal blooms made me feel like she truly understood what I was going for. I sent her just a few inspiration photos, and that was all she needed to create something original, stunning, and completely me.

When I saw my bouquet, the centerpieces, and the floral arch on my wedding day, I was speechless. Everything was exactly my vibe! From the colors and tones to the mood and feeling it all created. It was elegant, romantic, and effortless all at once.

Heather perfectly captured what I had envisioned and turned it into something even more beautiful than I imagined. Every detail was perfection!

Above and beyond amazing!

Heather is so talented and such a kind human being! We absolutely loved our custom florals for our spooky wedding. She knew just how to cultivate a classic yet gothic vibe. She even included deaths head moths in my bouquet! An incredible detail. Heather goes above and beyond and we are so grateful to know her. Thank you for making our wedding florals perfect!

Amazing! Gorgeous Flowers and the Best Service! ⭐️

I’m so grateful I found Heather & By the Bay Florals!! She is so kind and went above and beyond, even meeting with me and my parents and answering all of my mom’s questions. Her prices are very reasonable— the best in the area by far, and the quality of the flowers was absolutely STUNNING! She created the most gorgeous floral arrangements for our ceremony (that had to be attached to cement pillars, kinda tricky and I’m sure other florists would charge an arm and leg for that but not Heather). She was so kind, friendly, and extremely easy to connect with through the entire process — she even reworked some of our arrangements at the last minute when we realized we wouldn’t need as many tables. She’s the best! BOOK HER, you won’t regret it!!!!

Heather at By the Bay Floral was amazing!!

Heather was absolutely amazing to work with and her work is beautiful! When I was requesting quotes, I was shocked at how expensive everything was coming back. By the Bay Floral came back with by far the most reasonable rate. During our initial consultation we met in person to walk through everything I wanted and to go over my vision. Throughout the entire process Heather was easy to communicate with and always responded back to any changes or questions I had super quickly. Everything came out perfectly and she absolutely nailed exactly what I was looking for! Everything from the bouquets, to the arch flowers, to our centerpieces, came out absolutely beautiful! I would look no where else than Heather at By the Bay Floral for your wedding or other floral needs!

Look no further you've found your florist

After searching through more than 30 florists, I felt like I was not going to find the florist for me until I found By the Bay Florist. Heather's work is beautiful and affordable!! She is the sweetest and very professional not to mention her communication is 11/10. She was able to make every little detail of mine come to light. My wedding florals ended up being breathtaking. I was in awe of the arrangements!!! I highly recommend them!! Sincerely, one happy bride!
