Sara at Verde Flowers Marin combines an incredible artistic sensibility, wonderful people skills, with being a seasonal and local flower maven. She created a number of small personal bouquets and arrangements for me for a small wedding at the end of August in Marin County. I asked for the arrangements to reflect the moment and place of the event, using what local flower farms had in season that week, in terms of colors and flowers. Sara did a stunning job, modestly sharing credit with the farmers and what they had grown. I love her use of color and texture to create arrangements that seem to glow. I couldn't have been happier, and lucky to work with such a talented, detail-oriented and caring person. She was very conscious of keeping within the budget and made the event special for everyone.

I’m so glad I chose Sara at Verde Flowers for my wedding. She delivered the vibe I asked for, which was simple and elegant. I wish my photographer was able to capture the beauty of each flower better. I was mesmerized by my bouquet and the craftsmanship of all the arrangements. Sara set up a vase of flowers for each reception table and brought arrangements up to the chapel. She checked in with me to figure out where the flower girl basket, corsages, and boutonnieres should go. But I was in the middle of getting my hair and makeup done so I couldn’t really direct her. Sara somehow found all the right people to give it to: the groom, all the parents, the best man and the ring bearer. I didn’t have a day of wedding coordinator and I could only delegate so much during the chaos of that morning. But everything worked out because of the few people who pitched in to put everything together. Sara was a big part of that. Even a year and a half later, I still remember how caring, proactive, and obliging Sara was. I still feel so thankful for her and how my whole wedding just fell into place.

Sara is amazing and a true artist!!! From the start, Sara had great communication. I enjoyed working with her and seeing my vision come to life. She worked with my preferences, and truly exceeded my expectations. She is extremely creative and has such a unique and artistic eye for flower arrangements. I received so many compliments on the bouquets and centerpieces. I also appreciate how she supports local growers. I can not recommend Sara enough, she was one of my favorite vendors for my wedding and the flowers were truly a highlight!

Sara did an amazing job at our wedding reception (and since then, many more occasions). She is a great listener, has wonderful advice, and most importantly - she works exquisitely with flowers. There is something magical about her arrangements that make them truly extraordinary. We received lots of complements for Sara's flower arrangements and guests were absolutely thrilled when they got to take some home (Sara's suggestion). Highest recommendations!

Sara was a HUGE part of making our wedding day beautiful and special! The dynamic bouquets, centerpieces boutonnieres, wrist corsages, and gorgeous flower arch that she designed blew everyone away! The flower arch was the backdrop to our ceremony, speeches, family photos and stood behind my husband and I when we had dinner.

Amid the flurry of energy that tends to perpetuate during wedding planning, Sara proved to be a calm, reliable and professionalism vendor that I felt I could be myself around from the very beginning of meeting her. She dedicated an abundance of energy and care in understanding my detailed vision, even updating me on flowers that she felt I may be interested in , which showed me how dedicated she is to her work and her clients.

We couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience and outcome with the flower design and I felt so grateful to her and her careful work. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in the Bay Area!

I got married at Hans Fahden Vineyards this past Friday and Verde flowers was included in my wedding package. I was a very detail oriented bride with a vision for my wedding like no other. I asked Sara to create an orange woodland dream out of my flowers and I could not have imagined more perfect flower arrangements than what she created. I was so in love with my bouquet it stood out perfectly in all my pictures. Everyone could not stop talking about how gorgeous the flowers looked. Thank you Sara for going above and beyond to create my vision and outdoing my expectations!

Sara worked with me in every details, gave me a lot of really good advice, and made me feel very special on the day of! Thank you again Sara for being so patient with me who had a lot of requests!

Verde Flowers provided all of the florals for my June wedding in Sonoma, and I couldn't have been happier with the result. Sara was incredibly diligent and responsive during the whole planning process. We asked her to design a chuppah for our Jewish ceremony, and she spent hours thinking through the design, exchanging photos with me, visiting the venue to understand the context, and ultimately designing and delivering a spectacular chuppah that enhanced the beauty of our already special ceremony site. She listened carefully to my flower preferences and color schemes for the bouquets and arrangements, and the result surpassed even my high expectations.

The week of my wedding, when Sara realized that the heat projected for my wedding day might cause some of my suggested flowers to wilt, she called me to suggest a switch to another of my favorite flowers, which would hold up better in the weather. The result was beautiful, and I appreciated her thoughtfulness and her communication. The bouquets and arrangements lasted at my parents' house for a full week after the wedding.

I received quotes from seven different floral vendors across Marin, SF, and wine country, and Verde Flowers was by far the best value. I would strongly recommend Sara and Verde Flowers to others looking for florists in the Bay Area.

Sara has a gift for creating beautiful arrangements with flowers and vegetation. Her second gift is listening to and matching the wishes of everyone involved. We had a wide range of needs from natural to elegant and Sara heard us all. Her arrangements were simple and elegant and she used locally sourced materials. Everyone was happy.

I recently used Verde Flowers for my wedding. I couldn't be more happy with how my flowers turned out. They were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I had envisioned for my wedding. I met with Sara McConneloug, the owner and florist, prior to the event to attempt to articulate what I wanted. I am horrible about knowing the names for flowers and simply do no know the language to speak about them. However, Sara helped me to communicate my vision and guided me to make decisions. It was particularly helpful that she knew my wedding venue quite well. She gave me many suggestions on how to use the space and all of her ideas were great. She really helped me elevate my wedding and it ended up being absolutely perfect.
