Lovely & Elegant

With our wedding package, we were recommended The Blooming Branch. I started to follow up them on Instagram, and their arrangements are just lovely! I am super excited to use them for our wedding.

The Blooming Branch did a fantastic job with the flowers for our wedding! Maribel has all the experience and passion for creating beautiful flower arrangements. My wife and I met with Maribel and discussed our must-have flowers and color accents. She made note of it and created stunning arrangements that really popped out at our wedding. The guests complimented us on our centerpieces and more importantly to me, my wife’s bouquet. Maribel’s magic made our flowers bloom their best on our wedding day. We could tell because our guests were fighting over who gets to take the centerpieces home. Our flowers turned out more beautiful than what we could’ve dreamt of! Thank you Maribel!

Maribel did such a great job for my daughter’s wedding at the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach. The flowers captured the flavor our the wedding, and filled the garden iron arch and reception room. Not only were all the bridesmaids and bridal bouquets absolutely beautiful and substantial, my mother of the bride arrangement, as well as the mother of the groom’s arrangement was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you oh so much to Maribel and her staff for capturing all the florals most perfectly. We were all very happy with the work/ flowers!!! Mother of the Bride at the Canobbio/ O’Reilly wedding.

Maribel is personable, experienced, and patient—I didn’t know much about flowers and she patiently explained everything concisely. When I came to Blooming Branch, I had little experience in floral design and was unsure of how to verbalize what I wanted. Maribel was extremely supportive and helped me express what I wanted by showing me photos and samples of work she had done in the past. After I met with her and throughout the planning process, she was organized and made sure to check in with me, both by email and phone. On the day of the wedding, I was delighted to see what what we had discussed come to life in the beautiful centerpieces. They were absolutely stunning and many of our guests expressed how much they loved the arrangements. Maribel is passionate about what she does and she has many years of experience under her belt. She understands that every bride has a different vision. Maribel made me feel at ease and I never felt judged despite how little I knew about flowers. I’m grateful that I was able to work with her and would work with her again! Thank you Maribel!

Maribel is the sweetest lady! She is obviously passionate about her job. She worked with us on our budget to create the floral arrangements we envisioned, and accommodated us when we had to tweak the numbers on the centerpieces and boutonnieres. The centerpieces and the bouquets were stunning! I’ll gladly recommend Maribel to anyone who needs a florist for their weddings.

Maribel exceeded my expectations! I gave her a vague idea of what I thought I wanted and a budget and she really delivered! The flowers she did for my wedding ceremony and reception were more beautiful than I could have envisioned and she stuck to my budget! Thank you Maribel!

Maribel told a beautiful story in flowers for my wedding. She carefully listened to the style I wanted, while also providing helpful information because I am no flower expert. I sent her pictures of bouquets and centerpieces I liked, and she recreated them with even more beauty. She was very receptive to our budget, and made sure to pick flowers that were beautifully but within my price point. Maribel clearly loves her profession, and is excellent at it. She is prompt to respond to emails and easy to communicate with. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my wedding flowers.

I was sent to The Blooming Branch through my wedding venue, SeaCliff Country Club. I don't know much about flowers, but I knew I wanted deep purple, and some roses thrown in there. We met with Maribel about 6 months in advance to discuss this, and then again about 2 weeks before the wedding. I really did not know what to expect when I walked into my venue because I really left it up to Maribel to put something together. She did our ceremony floral and all the centerpieces and I was so pleased. Everything was absolutely gorgeous. They were exactly what I imagined and I received so many compliments. She is also the kindest lady and really willing to work with your budget.

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! Maribel created the most beautiful flowers for our wedding in September! When we first met with her we showed her pictures of what we liked; the look and feel we wanted, and she immediately knew the direction we were hoping to achieve. She showed us pictures of previous weddings she had done, and it was like something I saw in all the Bridal magazines. I knew at the moment, I had to have her for our wedding.

I received so many compliments on my bouquet. “The prettiest bouquet they had ever seen!” And our reception, it was breathtaking. When we walked in for the first time it was magical! Everything we ever wanted and more. The flower arrangements, sweetheart table, cake table, everything was done perfectly. Maribel and her team went above and beyond. She is so easy to work with, very responsive and very professional. She is the only florist we will use for any events in the future.

Maribel and Blooming Branch did my flowers for my wedding! I can't even put into words how beautiful they were. Not only did she understand my vision but she went above any beyond what I had anticipated. She nailed the colors I wanted. On top of that she had a good eye for how to make the room more romantic by adding petals and candles all over. And then she put flowers on my cake. My cake looked so pretty I nearly didn't want to cut it. It was a work of art!

I would recommend her to anyone for any event but if you are looking for wedding events she is a must!!
