    Amazing florist, beautiful flowers!

    Esther made our day so beautiful. She was so kind from the beginning and truly wanted to know what we wanted for our day. The flowers she used were gorgeous and fresh and truly were everything we wanted. All for a much more affordable price than any other florist I reached out to.
    Esther is also the sweetest! She is so kind and such a joy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone!

    Esther is amazing! She met with us several times before the wedding and listened carefully to everything we said we wanted. She took so much time and care in making sure that the flowers she chose matched the wedding colors perfectly. The arrangements were amazingly beautiful and fragrant. I will definitely use Esther for future events and recommend her to anyone.

    Esther is a great florist, and a very kind and considerate person. She was very easy to work with, and was able to meet our budget for flowers. I brought her some photos for inspiration, and she created beautiful designs. Than you, Esther!

    Beautiful wedding

    Esther was not only professional but very energetic to create the look We were looking for. She was able to emulate the design to perfection from pictures that we showed her. She surpassed any expectations and was a pleasure to work with. Very flexible and responsive to text messages and phone calls.

    From the beginning, Esther was a pleasure to work with! At first, I looked into other florists, but their lack of responsiveness had me in a panic. My venue owner had met Esther at a bridal fair, and thankfully, she had Esther's number. Esther was flexible when it came to working with our style, our budget, and time for consultation. She is the last vendor I hired, and she truly made our day perfect. The flowers were everything I dreamed of and more (bouquets, pin corsages for mothers, boutonnieres for men, arch displays, flower crowns for flower girls, and a "just married" wreath for the getaway car). Not to mention the cake, which just looked to die for!

    Esther prides herself in not overbooking herself so that she can make every client feel special on her wedding day. Our wedding was more than perfect thanks to her. I feel so lucky we got married in El Dorado County because Esther was right there when we needed her!

    Esther is passionate about flowers and it shows in her floral selection and presentation. She is thorough in the initial design meeting bringing many photos to prompt ideas and creating a detailed contract with sketches of ideas if needed. There is no required minimum, and she willingly works within your budget while providing the desired floral impact. She is accessible, responsive, cooperative and flexible. The arrangements were more beautiful than I expected and several were convertible (used at both the ceremony and the reception) which saves dollars. Delivery and set up was invaluable. The quality of the flowers was superb with most of the blooms lasting for over a week. On the wedding day, Esther’s handiwork was evident everywhere you turned. I am so grateful for having chosen such a talented floral artist whose prices are comparatively reasonable. I would highly recommend Esther’s Floral Designs for your next event.

    I feel like I put off my flowers until the last minute (2 weeks prior) and am so thankful that Esther was there to save the day. She worked with me even though I was out of town and I was extremely happy with my customized bouquet and bridal flowers. What rocked was that she was the florist that coordinated with our venue the Glover Mansion so my wedding flowers matched everything! Definitely worth every penny :)

    Esther was extremely responsive, helpful and reassuring during the entire planning process. She worked with my budget and delivered exactly what I had envisioned! I could not not have been happier with how the flowers turned out and everyone commented on how beautiful they were. I would definitely recommend Esther!!

    Where to start with Esther.....she was the most kind, sweet and helpful person to work with! She created some absolutely stunning floral arrangements for our wedding. She had lots of ideas and price wise was spot on. She arrived with plenty of time to get everything set up and was willing to stick around and help with anything we needed. She truly loves what she does and it really shows. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any floral need. Wonderful woman to work with.

    Esther did an amazing job with our center pieces, cake and bouquets. She was very flexible with last minute changes that we made. I would highly recommend her. She took our vision and made it more beautiful than I could have imagined.

    Esther is so so wonderful. The flowers are amazing. She worked with our budget and was just such a joy to work with.

    Also, you don't have to worry about returning vases with Esther, you can keep them! She is so behind the scenes that you don't even notice the art she is setting up and creating. Esther even lables all the corsages for the parents, godparents, etc.

    Really great and she's not a big, commercialized shop. She is a small business providing excellent one on one attention.

    Esther was absolutely amazing. She helped me feel at ease before and during our big day. She not only created the most beautiful bouquets but she delivered and set everything up. Esther is very organized and her calm, sweet personality will take a lot of stress off your shoulders. She also worked with our budget to create the exact bouquets and center pieces that I hoped for. She really went above and beyond to make us feel special and to add small, special details ( petals for the flower girl and stairs, flowers for the aisles, roses to give to our moms). I am lucky to have found her and I am so glad I didn’t go with anyone else.

    Esther is incredible! What a gracious and kind vendor! My flowers were stunning! Everyone at my wedding could not stop talking about how beautiful they were. Esther went above and beyond my expectations! I'm not one of those girls who grew up knowing exactly how my wedding was going to look. Esther knew exactly what to do with the flowers as well as the decor and the result was more than I could have dreamed! I would definately recommend Esther to my friends and family and I would use her again for other events!

    Not only were our flowers beautiful, but Esther may very well be one of the kindest people I've ever met. We met with several florists and Esther was the only one who understood that I knew little about what I wanted and instead sought to understand us and our wedding so that she could make suggestions.

    She also came through for us when we ran into a problem with our centerpieces (we discovered we could not have open flames in the venue which ruled out the candles we had bought) and was able to put together beautiful centerpieces with only about a week's notice.

    Overall a fantastic experience with a wonderful person.

    Esther is an excellent florist, highly skilled in floral design and arrangement. She provided beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, cake floral designs, centerpieces and a large flower arrangement for our church ceremony. She threw in a lot of extras and utilized every flower to its fullest effect, Our wedding flowers were beautiful, fresh, fragrant, and lasted for days! Esther did an amazing job and her prices are un-beatable. I would use her again for any event without hesitation.

    This is by far the nicest lady during the entire wedding process... she might actually be the nicest lady I have ever met. Her flowers were beautiful and she is just a great person... I almost felt like she was family. She was the first person at the wedding site (even before me!), helped set up everything... She was the ONLY person I did not worry about. I loved most (if not all) my vendors - but, as you know, getting married is stressful and you worry - well, with her, there was NONE!

    From the beginning I was a little unsure about using Esther's services because she is based out of her home. I decided to go with her because I won 50% off of her services. She seemed very kind, but that quickly went out the window. She got aggrivated with me when I asked her to give me an itemized bill. She insisted that I would end up paying more by doing that instead of just going with the $1200 budget that I gave her, but in all actuallity she was wrong! She realized that her profit was going to be less because of the 50% off and so she skimped on the flowers so she could still have a profit. On the day of the wedding my decorator said she dropped off the flowers and split. (15mins max) She did say she had a personal event later that day, but that she would set up from 9am-12pm. She was supposed to attach ribbon around the base of the flowers/top of the vase but instead did a haphazard job around the base of the plate that the flowers rests on. It looked crooked and awkward like a child did it. The color of the water inside of the glass was wrong and she didn't insert the floralyte! On top of the vases was supposed to be a ball of red roses and red carnations, but most looked like disformed jellybeans, and even worse there were huge gaps in between the flowers!!!! You could see the green styrofoam. The bouqets that she quoted me at $75 a bridesmaid had a total of 8 flowers and had floral pins sticking out of it. She is lucky my sister doesn't sue her for the injury she sustained. Bottom line is she did not follow my requests, she fought with me over the price, she did a poor job, and she attempted to steal the gems and floralytes I put in the bottom of the vases during pick up on Sunday! If I was not there she would have taken them with her and probably used them in her next wedding. Do not use this woman for your wedding.

    Esther's Floral Designs's reply:

    Thank you for taking the time to leave me a review on WeddingWire. I appreciate receiving feedback, even if it is not always positive, as it allows me to make changes where needed and grow in the right direction to better my services.

    Despite the anonymity of the review, I am certain of who wrote it. This was a particularly challenging wedding in which I dealt with a bride who wanted it all for a very low budget at the very last minute (two weeks before the wedding). I offered the bride 50% off since I was not going to be available for the entirety of her wedding day and gave clear instructions with regards to where the bride could find her bouquets, labeled corsages, and boutonnieres. Once I felt confident that the bride could carry on without me, I left.

    I am very pleased with the work my assistant and I did given the difficult situation. Rather than dispute all of the groom’s negative comments, I would invite you to read all of the other reviews that highlight my due diligence and the pride I take as a wedding florist. :)

    My best,

    Esther
