The most magical florist!

Rachel is an amazingly talented artist. Our wedding flowers were the number 1 thing that came up most consistently from guests during and after our wedding. People were blown away. And we were too. Walking into our wedding felt like walking into a dream - we truly couldn't believe the magic that Rachel and her team created. Rachel is also great to work with. We had a mock-up with her and she was super receptive to a few thoughts and changes we had. She took extra care to make sure our vision was executed. We are so grateful for her hard work and talent! I will always remember our wedding flowers.

Lucky enough to work with Velvet Blooms twice!

Getting to work with Rachel for a second wedding was incredible. We are so blessed she was able to share her talents with us two times and I could have not asked for a better florist. She was able to bring my exact vision to life, and was just so easy to work with. If I could hire her to do the florals for every party in my life I would--she is that amazing. Hire Velvet Blooms!

Most Stunning Flowers EVER!

Rachel was the one of the most accommodating, and easy to work with vendors of the entire wedding. We originally booked Velvet Blooms for our June 2020 wedding, and when we had to postpone she made the process simple and was so understanding. We decide to have a small wedding this year with a big reception in 2022, and she revised our contracts to make both happen, and we are so glad she did. The florals for our wedding this year were breathtaking. The arch we got married under was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen and she completely captured my vision for everything. I am SO excited to get to work with her next year because I know that it will be just as stunning as it was this year. I would recommend Rachel 10 times out of 10. Her and her team are truly artists and make magic out of buckets of flowers.

Perfect! Everything.

We hired Rachel for our December wedding and we couldn’t have imagined anything more perfect than our florals. Still dreaming about how beautiful everything was. She was so great to work with, had wonderful attention to details, and created the magical environment we wanted. I loath gazebos and we were getting married under one and she made me adore it! Totally grateful, would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Thanks for such a great addition to our big day!

Professional, Fun, Artistic

Rachel was one of the best decisions we made when creating our wedding team. My husband is a gardener/botanist and had specific requests for Rachel. She was open to our ideas and our special requests! She was enthusiastic about it as well! She talked with us via phone and in person - her communication skills are prompt and stellar! On the day of the wedding, I was literally shocked by how beautiful the arrangements, etc. were. Her artistic work really helped our day shine. Thank you so much, Rachel!!

Rachel was great to work with and the flowers she delivered on our wedding day were incredible! Our centerpieces looked straight out of a magazine and my bouquet was amazing as well!

AMAZING experience!

Rachel was AMAZING to work with! Oh my goodness I felt like I had a thousand questions and emails, but she was so accommodating and kind throughout the whole process. (She is so down to earth and wonderful as a human being, which is a plus). Our flowers turned out absolutely stunning and everything I ever wanted!!!! I got so many compliments. Highly recommend!

Incredible Wedding Florist

Rachel did an absolutely incredible job for my recent wedding. She was super helpful and patient during the entire process. We met several months before the wedding to go over what I had in mind. My vision changed a few times and she was super flexible and helpful with guiding me to exactly what I was looking for. On the day of my wedding, I was absolutely shocked when I saw all of the beautiful floral arrangements. Everything was exactly what I had visioned and more! And my bouquet was beyond stunning. I would recommend Rachel to anyone planning a wedding. Hiring Rachel for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made.

Rachel brought to life what I had envisioned for our wedding. She made our ceremony arbor beautiful with gorgeous blooms and greenery. My bouquet was stunning as well. She is great at communicating, and very accommodating to changes I made in the process.

Rachel and her team helped us realize our vision for a relaxed 70's Californian wedding. She was very thorough discussing the specific flowers, colors, and the vibe of our wedding. She created a floral vision board based on our discussion and it encompassed the exact type of wedding I envisioned. She arrived with her team on the day of our wedding and set everything up in a timely and professional manner. The bouquets, boutonnieres, floral arrangements, and macrame backdrop were all stunning. The crew was professional and Rachel really ensured that our wedding was gorgeous. Thank you so much Velvet Blooms. They come highly recommended.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
