    Beautiful Flowers on a Budget

    We were absolutely thrilled to have chosen Finest City Florist for our wedding flowers. Despite our budget constraints, Desiree exceeded our expectations by providing high-quality altar flowers, bouquets, flower crowns and extras for our bud vases and cake. Her assistance throughout the process was invaluable, as she promptly answered our questions and created multiple versions of our quote to fit our needs perfectly.
    Desiree and her team expertly arranged the altar flowers in the vases we had selected, adding a touch of beauty that enhanced the entire day. They were flexible in helping bring our bouquets to sunset cliffs for our wedding party photos after dropping off the rest of the flowers at the venue prior to the wedding. The flowers themselves were exquisite and truly elevated the aesthetic of our wedding. We couldn't have been happier with the result, and we highly recommend Finest City Florist to anyone in need of top-notch floral arrangements for their special occasion.

    Best florist ever!

    When searching for vendors I came across Desiree with finest city florist and I am so so glad I did! She listened to all my questions and details I was looking for and exceeded my expectations. I emailed her so many times and did changes here and there throughout the year after booking her and she was always very helpful. I hope to book her in the future for my sisters wedding!

    Perfect Flowers!

    Desiree was so wonderful to work with! We stayed in touch throughout the covid postponement and she was very communicative and flexible with what we wanted. The flowers were fresh and the arrangements came out perfectly! Her prices are very reasonable and her work is gorgeous. I look forward to using this business in the future for any floral arrangements we may need!

    Desire is the best

    Desiree at Finest City Florist was such a joy to work with! Our wedding was largely affected by Covid which meant we had a lot of unknowns and a lot of last minute changes! Desiree was so accommodating and understanding of every situation. We nearly doubled our flower order 2 weeks before the wedding AND she delivered our order to 2 different locations! I can’t say enough good things about Finset City Florist! I will always come back here for all of my floral needs. Plus, it’s a huge bonus that I get to support a local small business at the same time!

    Finest City Florist's reply:

    You are so amazing! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your special day!! :) I'm glad it all worked out.

    Easy-Peasy Ordering, Quality Product, Low Prices

    For my wedding I needed 7 boutineers, 3 bouquets (1 bride, 2 bridesmaids), and some filler for centerpieces. Flowers were the cheapest I could find in San Diego and they were beautiful. They were willing to help brainstorm flower types and give suggestions. Flowers were delivered without any worries

    Finest City Florist's reply:

    Thank you so much Hailey, it was my pleasure. I loved the color and flower combo you chose!! I'd love to see pictures when you get them!!

    Great Experience!

    Desire at Finest City Florist was great to work with! She was very easy to communicate with and has great design ideas. I didn't have much of an idea of what I wanted besides "sunset colors," and she produced a lovely design for our centerpieces. I also absolutely loved our bouquets and boutonnieres. Furthermore, she worked within my budget and was very quick to respond to all my questions. She is fantastic, and I highly recommend her!

    Finest City Florist's reply:

    Thank you Kristin! I was so intrigued by your color choices, I am so glad you liked how everything turned out! I had a lot of fun designing for your wedding. Thank you!!

    Desiree was amazing to work with. Wedding flowers are expensive people. Desiree was very affordable and worked closely with me to ensure that we were capturing my vision without breaking the bank. Our wedding was a destination wedding so I wasn't able to meet with Desiree in person but she was sure to communicate everything clearly and carefully and made it simple to plan our flowers from a distance. I changed our order a few times before the wedding and she didn't mind at all. Every time I contacted her she was quick to respond and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. On the day of the wedding, Desiree delivered everything we needed on time and made the setup process easy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Finest City Florist to anyone that needs any amount of flowers for any event.

    Thank you, Desiree, for everything that you did to help make our day beautiful!

    The bouquets were exceptional. All of the flowers were fresh and were put together so nicely. They lasted for over a week after the wedding. She was very professional and everything arrived and was set up on time. Thank you so much for everything!

    Desire at Finest City Florist was absolutely the best! Our reception flowers, bouquet and boutonnière were perfect! Desire even delivered our bouquet and boutonnière to our home as our wedding was at at different location then our reception. Her pricing is extremely reasonable. Thanks so much Desire!

    Desiree is an amazing florist! She was very easy to communicate with and had great ideas for my wedding. I pretty much had no idea what I wanted but knew I wanted purple flowers. The flowers she picked for me were perfect. Furthermore, she worked within my budget and was so easy to work with. Thank you so much for your hard work. She is the best and I highly recommend her.

    I simply cannot say enough about this lovely business woman whom has a passion for her art & floral design in addition to keeping cost down and being her own boss. I truly enjoyed how well she worked with me be it that I had a very small party & only required 1 bouquet, 2 centerpieces, a grooms boutonniere and 3 smaller boutonnieres for our boys when we were going to take family photos. I showed her exactly what I wanted & I received Exactly that... C'mon ladies how often do we show a vendor something & actually Get It??? She NAILED IT!!! If you are picky like me... BOOK FINEST CITY FLORIST :)

    Desiree was a great find. We had 1 bridal bouquet, 2 bridesmaid bouquets, 5 boutonnières, and 3 corsages. We also had 12 buckets worth of baby's breath. She was very affordable and provided feedback and tips on what we wanted. We didn't live in the area, so we were able to do everything electronically. She was also very flexible, prompt and very nice to talk to. I would highly recommend her.

    Desiree was a complete joy to work with from beginning to end. From the first time I contacted her and met with her 1 year before my wedding, all the way up to my wedding day, she was so prompt with answering any questions that I had and always had great ideas and suggestions when I needed them. She is very professional, friendly, and reliable. The flowers that she provided for my wedding were absolutely beautiful and everything I dreamed of. Her prices are also very competitive and one of the best that I found. Desiree was recommended to me by a mutual friend, and I'm so glad that she was. You can't go wrong with Desiree at Finest City Florist.

    Highly recommend Finest City Florist to any person having a wedding. The flower arrangements were AMAZING! Just like the pictures I showed her. All the bouquets, flower girl halo, boutonnieres, corsages, and arch flowers were gorgeous. Everything I had imagined and it made my wedding so much more beautiful. And her prices were better than anyone in the entire city! She truly puts her all into her work and I am so happy I hired her for my wedding day. Thank you Desiree!

    If you don't go with Finest City Florist you are spending way to much money! You can have the most beautiful wedding flowers a bride could ask for fraction of the cost. I did orchids for the mothers and cala lilies for the wedding party. I had six long stems for myself and three for the bridesmaids. A single cala lilly for the Groom and Groomsmen. I was contemplating doing artificial flowers till I came across Finest City Florist.

    We used Finest City Florist for all the flower arrangements, bouquets, corsages, & boutonnieres for our wedding. When I first met with Desiree I loved how she had a great knowledge of flowers and was able to build on my ideas and offer suggestions. Her prices were also very reasonable. They day of the wedding I was so impressed with her work! The flowers arrived on time & Desiree above and beyond to setup the arrangements at the venue. Our flowers were PERFECT. I would definitely recommend Finest City Florist.
