Cynthia was an absolute dream to work with. She was quick to reply to all of my inquisitive emails, and the flowers on my wedding day were absolutely stunning. I would hire her over and over again and recommend her to anyone in the market for event floral centerpieces and bouquets etc. She does stunning work, and she was so easy to talk to.

We chose a la belle epoque patina-on-copper color palette inspired by the 19th century illustrations of Alfonse Mucha, of deep orange, jade, and blue-green alongside faded peach, amber, gold, and ivory. True to our theme, our flower arrangements, designed by southern California florist Cynthia Sanchez of The Blooming Bud, were wispy, dreamy, and wild around organic metalwork: orange and blush garden roses, deflexus, and maidenhair fern in delicate antique silver vases of various shapes and sizes; two traditional copper horseshoes integrated into my wife's bridal bouquet; sunset calla lily boutonnieres braced with slender pins; tulips and jade satin along the aisle; and vines of jasmine, roses, and calendula draped gently around the wrought iron arch at our ceremony.

With Cynthia's help, our ceremony and reception were filled with beautiful, bright, and subtle floral details. (We're a same-sex couple, too, so she had to handle two bridal bouquets, etc.) She was on time, well-prepared, and coordinated everything wonderfully with our venue and we got hitched without a hitch. We couldn't have been happier with the incredible deal Cynthia put together for us, and throughout the planning process, she was kind, enthusiastic, flexible, and creative. We sent her a few inspiration photos at the outset and she sent us a quote describing the arrangements she had in mind, all within our budget, which helped us feel comfortable and gave us the sense that she'd be easy to work with. She totally was. Highly recommended!

Great arrangements on such short notice!! They were beautiful.
