Everything you could ask for in a florist!

We booked Moments in Bloom for our wedding at the Carlsbad Windmill, and would recommend a million times!
They were easy to communicate with, and provided an amazing service. I felt like I was constantly emailing Dede with changes, but she was understanding and patient—always reassuring me the florals would be beautiful.
The quality of everything on the day of was outstanding. The bouquets! The centerpieces! The arch! The staircase! The attention to detail!
The effort put in to each piece was immaculate. Their team definitely brought my vision to life, exceeding any and every expectation. Such a talented group of women. Thank you Moments in Bloom for making my special day that much more special.

A dream come true!

I worked with Tara from Moments in Bloom for my wedding on November 6, 2021! Tara was an absolute joy to work with! We had our initial consult and right away, she understood my vision and was making recommendations on how to make it come to life! As we got closer, she worked with me a ton as I finalized the final head count and details. I went back and forth quite a bit in those last few weeks and Tara was so helpful in making decisions.

She walked me through how all of the pieces would be reused from the ceremony to the cocktail hour and the reception. On the day of the wedding, she even came into the bridal suite to show me my bouquet and I got choked up because it took my breath away! It was exactly what I dreamt of and more. I thought that was such a sweet gesture to come and show me. It all felt real when I saw my bouquet! As I looked around the ceremony and reception areas, I was blown away at how beautiful everything was.

The next day, when I took home my bouquet and some arrangements, I really got a chance to get a good look at them and I was amazed. The flowers were of exceptional quality and the arrangements and bouquets were detailed to perfection. The flowers from Moments in Bloom made my wedding a dream come true.

If you are looking for a florist that you can trust with your most special day, you've found her :)
