    Simply The Best!

    We hired Anna and her team to do the flowers for our wedding last November and not only were we incredibly happy with the work, Anna was such a pleasure to work with! She suggested things we hadn’t even thought of needing or wanting for our wedding, executed our vision for the day better than we’d imagined, provided ideas on ways to cut cost without sacrificing what we really wanted and lastly answered all of my small annoying questions quickly! I would 100% use Anna for an event again in the future and would recommendation her as her work without any hesitation.

    Beautiful flowers for Santa Barbara Wedding

    Anna is a talented florist and has impeccable taste. We used her services when we could no longer go forward with our 90 person wedding (we had a different florist for that event). We hired Anna a week before our elopement for just a bouquet and boutonniere. I asked her for an arrangement with an original color scheme and she delivered a stunning peach and purple arrangement. I would highly recommend, I was appreciative that she understood our creative vision and our desire to not use full blown floral services (we got married on a boat). I am currently having the arrangement pressed for memories, as I loved her work so much.

    A Floral Fairytale

    From the very beginning Anna made the whole process of planning the florals for my wedding in Solvang so easy. I knew I was in good hands. But then when I walked up to my ceremony site and saw the INCREDIBLE arch I was completely blown away. It was better than I could have dreamed. Everyone complimented me on the florals in the reception venue. Anna really created a cozy, romantic, magical atmosphere. I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much!

    Wonderful Service and Beautiful Florals

    My husband and I were planning our wedding for late 2020, which of course ended up being a rollercoaster! Anna and her team were with us every step of the way as we went from a 150 person wedding down to a 20 person wedding and even made big switches like the venue location. The flowers were gorgeous and my family still talks about how amazing they were! I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the SLO/Santa Barbara areas. She really listened to my vision and delivered something better than I could have even imagined! (Photos are by Kelsea Holder Photography)

    We loved our flowers!

    Anna created beautiful floral arrangements that fit our vision and goals perfectly. We provided Anna with a set of inspiration pictures and colors to help her get an idea of what we were looking for - and she took it from there. I loved that I didn't need to have a perfect idea of every aspect of the floral arrangements that I wanted. Anna took my feedback on things that I new and liked and filled in the blanks with her expertise. She had great ideas about how to involve seasonal florals and how to make sure that our arrangements lasted outdoors the whole afternoon. When we pivoted our wedding plans from a large reception at a venue to a small family-only micro wedding in our backyard, Anna revised her floral plan to fit perfectly with the feel of our new venue. Anna and her team set everything up efficiently and while following all necessary safety precautions. I was so worried that our pandemic wedding wouldn't have the luxurious, elegant feeling that I envisioned for our original event, but Anna's florals made it feel like the wedding that we had always envisioned. Any couple getting married in the area would be lucky to work with Anna!

    Wonderful Florist!

    Anna was a fantastic florist. I was a little worried about how well she would capture my colors and vision since the majority of our communication was just me sending floral inspiration, but she captured everything perfectly. I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted exactly, so I told her vague ideas like "two freestanding floral arrangements sandwiching the altar." She worked magic and turned my vague ideas into reality. She worked within my budget to give us beautiful flowers for our wedding.

    Unfortunately, I never had the chance to ever meet my lovely florist. Our communication pre wedding was over the phone, and then I never saw her or her team on my wedding day. So, while I wish I could have thanked her in person, I must say that she is awesome because my venues looked beautiful before my guests and I ever set foot into the space. She is that magical (and timely).

    Professional, Gorgeous Florals

    Working with Anna and her assistant was an amazing experience! They were professional, thorough and made the process as easy as possible. The flowers on my wedding day were gorgeous and were delivered on time and set up perfectly at our wedding location. Pricing was more than fair, expecially for the quality of the flowers and arrangement! I would highly recommend!!

    Anna made my dreams come true, literally. For years, I have admired Anna’s work from afar and dreamed of the day she could be my floral designer. When we decided to get married in the Nashville area, I was afraid my dreams were crushed. I called Anna just to see what the options were and low and behold, Anna became the floral designer for my special day! I know how wonderful and passionate Anna is and I had no doubt that no matter what she designed, it would be beyond incredible. I gave her a few ideas and she took the reigns and created something beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I will be forever grateful for her travel and her special attention to detail for my wedding. I just stare at photos in complete awe- the colors, the design, the grandeur. Thank you, Anna, for everything.

    Anna was recommended to us by our Wedding Planner and we are so thrilled with all of the beautiful florals she created for us! We selected her a la carte package to fit our budget, so we gave her some inspiration visuals but also the creative liberty to select florals in-season that would fit our vibe. What she came up with was so stunningly beautiful, I was in awe of each display as they were revealed and was so happy with how she executed our vision.

    She created a Ceremony Arch for that was just the most romantic backdrop for us to share our vows under. Then she installed a beautiful mixture of florals and garlands for our reception that perfectly fit each space, I was just beyond thrilled at everything she created.

    I can't recommend Anna enough - she is talented, easy to work with, and delivered beautiful florals to fit our budget.

    Great great great great! Anna perfectly captured our floral vision for our March 2017 wedding. She was perfectly responsive, affordable, and professional. After providing some general ideas and a few sample photos, my wife and I could not have been happier with the bouquet, boutonniere, and table centerpieces Anna created. We were very pleased to have used her for our intimate wedding.

    We hired Anna to do our flowers for our wedding this past fall and were SO pleased. Her flowers weren't just an addition to our day, they made our photos look incredible. Her eye for design was spot on and her recommendations along the way were very useful and insightful. Highly recommend!

    I am so grateful to have Anna as my florist for my wedding. From the initial inquiries, follow through emails, up to the finalization of the floral orders, she was very consistent with the set budget and the type of the flowers that I wanted. She was honest at the beginning that there might not be peonies because it was out of season, but she still managed to get one for me, and it a huge difference. The wedding ceremony and reception looked extra beautiful because of her flower arrangements. The flowers were fresh, lush, and effortless. She even made my wedding cake extra beautiful because of the flowers ;) Anna really took into consideration everything that I envisioned for my wedding, as well as my limited budget. She made my wedding look like a fairy tale. It is hard to find a florist who can translate your vision into reality, and Anna is definitely the kind of florist you want to work with.

    Working with Anna on baby shower was an absolute breeze. She is so professional and knowledgeable, she made the floral arrangement selection process easy. My guests could not stop complimenting all the beautiful arrangements! I will definitely use Anna again for future events.

    Anna's professionalism was reassuring, her personal flowers were just what the bride ordered - especially the opulent and whimsical bride's bouquet. I could tell she worked hard to reflect exactly what the bride was hoping for and the end result was gorgeous. Loved working with her!

    I can't say enough great things about Anna! As a venue manager I see her work all the time and every time it is so different and unique- she never runs out of ideas! She is very responsive to emails and phone and has the amazing ability to stay within her clients budget and create something beautiful. She takes great pride in her work and is a pleasure to work with.

    Anna came recommended by my wedding coordinator. My husband & I decided that we would not have a large budget dedicated to florals, so we wanted to work with someone that would be able to work with our budget & come up with some creative solutions. Anna & I had a consultation regarding the overall look & feel of the wedding, she understood my vision & provided great feedback. I kept the cost down by having Anna recommend seasonal & local options & gave her liberty to choose what was at a good price at the flower mart the week of my wedding. I gave her guidelines on colors, textures & sizes & she picked out the rest. The final results were impeccable, we did eucalyptus garlands for the table centerpieces with white accent flowers. The bouquets & boutonnieres were beautiful & smelled wonderfully. I would recommend Anna if you are looking for a creative florist who can work with a smaller budget, just remember to keep an open mind & not have specific flower that are must haves, give her a look or theme and she can help.

    Anna was a joy to work with. Flowers are one of my favorite things, and after the photos, they were the most important detail for my wedding day. Anna listened to what I had in mind, and made it happen. She also offered great suggestions to add to my flower wishlist in order to round out my arrangements and best bring out the quality and style that I wanted my flowers to portray. All day long people were complimenting me on what beautiful flowers I had. And they were! Breathtaking! I cannot offer enough thanks for the professional, creative flair she added to my beautiful day. She has become my florist for life.

    Anna was such a pleasure to work with. She was responsive, knowledgable, and professional. My flowers turned out so beautiful, and many of our guests approached me to comment on how incredible the centerpieces were. I was so happy with the service we received from Anna, she helped make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would it be. I would absolutely recommend her.

    Anna was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very responsive to email. She created my bouquet, my bridesmaids bouquets, all of the boutonnieres and two magnificent arrangements for my ceremony space. She worked within my small budget and came through with flowers that were even more beautiful and unique than I could have picked out myself while incorporating the flowers I had asked for. Everything was delivered on time. I could not have been happier. I ended up preserving my bouquet so that I can keep it forever.

    I've sat on this review for sometime, debating on whether or not to post it. Let me preface by saying I believe Anna has skill and talent. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and say she had a bad day and poor planning. Truly. But the hard part is that it happened on a day that can't be re-done - our wedding day. I'm not much of a crier but I've cried multiple times since the wedding thinking about our florals.

    Leading up the wedding, Anna and I communicated a few times. At first I was surprised by the limited amount of emails and questions from Anna but I thought "Wow, she's such a professional and totally gets me that she doesn't even need to ask many questions. So great!"

    And then the wedding morning came and as I walked into the reception room that morning, my heart sank. The flowers were nothing like what I had asked for. My bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets had to be redone the morning of by family. My mom missed part of me getting ready. The reception tables were sparse, which was shocking when you spend a whole lot of money. I'd worked and saved up money because flowers were the element I cared about most.

    I still feel very much heart broken and disappointed. When I received my wedding photos, it was further proof of the lack of service I received that day. I will give credit to Anna and her team for working through the rain and creating a few nice pieces. Where she really dropped the ball was the reception room and our bouquets.

    It's hard to this day to not feel taken advantage of. I feel shorted a few thousand dollars. I think the issue was that Anna didn't take the time to get to know me to fully understand the vision or maybe she did, but didn't tell me she could bring to life the esthetic I wanted, or maybe she poorly planned her flower shopping? Who knows. After the wedding, there was no follow up from Anna. No check in. No "I'm sorry your family had to redo flowers the morning of." Please learn from my experience.

    Anna Le Pley Taylor's reply:

    I am truly sorry at how deeply disappointed you were with your wedding florals. I understand how special one's wedding day is, and I strive to not only meet, but also exceed my client's visions for their big day. I would have reached out sooner had I known the heartache you felt over the florals. I've emailed you directly, but please contact me to further discuss if you have additional questions or concerns

    My experience with Anna required me to clarify several times for a wedding that was very small. I requested upfront that I wanted to Peonies - with the understanding that it might be hard to get those flowers in August. When the time came to finalize our order - she had my second choice, I asked her if the Peonies were not available - she said yes they were but they would be extra. I told her in the beginning that I was willing to pay for the flower. I requested a Pink Calla for the groom, she brought white - with a tad on pink color and had pink for the groomsmen. The bouquet for my daughter began to fall apart about 1/2 hour after we received them, the 3 wrist corsages that I order all came apart during our pre-wedding photos. I will say our our centerpieces for the tables were fine, it's the personal flowers that we had a problem with. I would use Anna for house flowers, but not for any significant event.

    Disappointed and tried to resolve prior to posting

    I hired Anna because we live in a small community and many recommended her. I felt she understood my vision and by giving her photos of the design I wanted, I felt confident she was a good fit. She did a lovely job on my ceremony, but completely dropped the ball with my table florals. I remember sitting down at my table on my wedding night and saying, “where are my flowers?!” My sister’s boyfriend quickly spoke up and said now neat the small vases of florals were and I didn’t give it another thought, until I received my photos. Wow, such a disappointment. The design was completely different than we had agreed up. I emailed Anna to share with her my disappointment and asked to be refunded because there was no way the amount of flowers on my tables equaled the $2,200 I paid (just for the table florals). Two weeks went by and no response, so I emailed again and then she finally responded. She provided me with an excuse as to why there were a lack of florals on the table. I told her that her excuse was not valid because we had clearly communicated via email and regardless my tables were missing florals and the design was not what we agreed upon. She then had her manager email me the same thing, providing excuse after excuse and even blaming others. She apologized but said the “margin of error was on all parties.” Which is just unbelievable. I am so upset because like some of the others have said, there isn’t anything you can do. It is a one day event and we expected and paid for a service and did not receive what we had paid for. Nor was she willing to accept her mistake and right her wrong. I’ve attached the photo of the table florals I requested and the florals she presented, just so everyone can see. I do not recommend using Anna at this time.
