    Timely & Attentive

    Tami was great to work with! We recently did an intimate wedding together and the flowers were perfect for the celebration. We look forward to working together in the future!

    I really wasn't sure what to expect when I was searching for florists online, but on my wedding day the flowers from Fleur were EXACTLY what I wanted. It was nice to see that Tami made my vision a reality! I appreciate that she asked me a lot of questions about what I wanted and was friendly and easy to work with.

    I was recommended by Tami to work with Kristen. Kristen was my florist as well as my wedding coordinator. She did above and beyond with meeting with the vendors, contacting everyone, and meeting with them during the site visits. Kristen did a fabulous job! My wedding day was beautiful and and we stuck to the timeline. I'm from out of town, and Kristen even allowed us to ship and store things in her house! She created one bouquet for the bride, and four bridesmaids bouquets and a boutineer for the groom. I loved that she did site visits with the caterer, photographer, and DJ. We met with her and she has an eye for detail. She decorated grape vines for our wedding ceremony. She did a GREAT JOB and I highly recommend her! THANK YOU KRISTEN!

    Tami was fantastic to work with! When I met with her, all I had was a general color palette and rustic theme but I didn't really know what kinds of flowers would look best. Tami was full of wonderful suggestions for what kinds of flowers would fit with the colors/theme and also be affordable. We gave her a budget, and she worked within that budget and produced really beautiful bouquets and arrangements that made our ceremony and reception spaces pop!

    Tami was such a pleasure to work with! When we first met with her, we had some ideas of what we were looking for with wedding florals and brought along some pictures for reference, but with limited knowledge of flowers or greenery it was hard to totally articulate what we liked and didn’t like. Tami sat with us for more than an hour, flipping through different floral books with us, making sure she clearly understood our vision. She helped us identify which flowers were in season and pointed out which flowers were more and less expensive. Throughout the whole process Tami was extremely responsive and flexible.
    Our flowers turned out beyond beautiful! Tami matched our vision perfectly – I think our flowers were nearly identical to some of the pictures we shared! Thanks so much!

    Fleur ~ very pretty flowers's reply:

    Megan, Working with you was a joy ! You are why I love what I do! Most importantly, I am glad I "got it right!" and made your vision real! Thanks so much :) for being such a pleasure to work with! Tami

    I can't even begin to explain how perfect Tami is. I had an "idea" of a budget in mind, and reached out to multiple florists in the Paso Robles area for our destination wedding. I had no idea how much flowers cost, but I had an idea of what I wanted to spend. Everyone was astronomical. And then one day I found Tami, and my first thought was, "this is too good to be true".

    It's true!

    I'm so glad I found her. She had the exact package I wanted. She was incredibly easy to work with. I'm not the kind of bride who knows all the types of flowers by heart. I knew peonies, and I sent her pictures. She helped me find good alternatives since they're such a seasonal flower. She helped me build an amazing package.

    I was a little nervous not having any idea what my bouquet was going to look like (I blame my A-type personality), and Tami showed up the morning of while we were getting dressed and wow... she nailed it. The bouquet was absolutely stunning and complimented my blush dress to the T.

    She knows what she's doing. She is incredibly sweet and goes above and beyond for her clients. We live in the San Fran Bay so we never met with her (heck, we never even had a phone call!). We did everything via email.

    Now if I can just get her found on Google Search & Maps so other brides from out of the area can find her, my mission will be complete.

    We're very happy and blessed to have had her for our wedding day. I highly recommend her as do several of my wedding vendors who have worked with her in the past.

    Fleur ~ very pretty flowers's reply:

    To one of the nicest brides! I loved creating your romantic concept. What a beautiful bride, handsome groom, lovely family, touched by your sweetness! You made my job fun and easy and that's why I am in this business! Love to you and Curtis and many years of joy and adventure! Hugs, Tami, Very Pretty Flowers

    Tami provided exceptional service from the start of my wedding planning! She was very helpful in doing flower research since I was looking for specific colors that would work well with Fall season. We ended up going with Yellow Freesia & Blue Delph. Bouquets, bouts, and hair piece Tami had put together were so beautiful!! She was also very sweet and had a welcoming personality both via e-mail and in person! Thanks to Tami for making our wedding flowers absolutely perfect for our day :) I would definitely work with her again and would recommend her flower service to anyone looking for florist in the Central Coast area!

    Tami did a great job with our wedding flowers! We were very happy with everything - the bouquets, boutonnieres, pew markers and centerpieces were all beautiful and exceeded our expectations.

    We are beyond happy with our wedding flowers! Besides designing gorgeous arrangements, Tami was a real pleasure to work with. She is super sweet, was very responsive to calls/emails, flexible, and offered us great ideas. I especially appreciated how she respected our budget and really helped us get the most bang for our buck! Thanks again, Tami!

    My flowers were absolutely beautifully done. Tami had to travel 6 hours to deliver and execute my flowers. She did it flawlessly!
    There were several flowers that I wanted, that were not in season; but to my greatest appreciation Tami made it happen.
    Tami is a true professional, you would not be disappointed if you hired her! Thank you Tami for making my wedding beautiful :)

    Tami of Fleur dotted every i and crossed every t ~ being the MOB for a daughter who lived 3000 miles away we did everything over Skype. I was the local and Tami worked extremely well with me and my daughter. The flowers were stellar, simple where it needed to be and WOW just in the right place. I'm happy and furthermore our daughter was too.

    Fleur ~ very pretty flowers's reply:

    Sonja ~ Thank you!! It was my pleasure and honour to create Kaley and Thomas' reception flowers, in particular Kaley's crown! Best Wishes! Tami

    Tami was SO amazing!! Not only is she extremely sweet and super nice, she is very talented at what she does! My exact dream that I had envisioned in my head for flowers came out at my wedding with only 1 meeting with her!! She nailed it! She was on time, super accommodating, friendly, warm, and the flowers were beautiful! Everyone loved them and her!!

    Mandy ~ You and your family & friends were a delight! I was thrilled to partake in your special day. Warm Wishes for your new life together!! Fondly, Tami

    My original florist did not work out so my husband (fiancee at the time!) desperately called Tami at Fleur. With about 2 weeks notice she put together bouquets, decorations and boutineers all within a very reasonable budget. She was a life saver! Very responsive to e-mails, extremely friendly and personable. She asked a lot of questions to make sure we were on the same page and she exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend Fleur!!

    Fleur ~ very pretty flowers's reply:

    Nicole ~ Thank you SO much, you are so kind! I thoroughly enjoyed our brief encounter, and was honoured to create your flowers for you! You both looked amazing on your wedding day ~ I wish you a lifetime of happiness ~ I can't wait to see your photos! Tami, Fleur

    This is customer service at its finest!! Tami at Fleur was fun, bright, and very very helpful. She was creative and knowledgeable, and really helped us solidify our concept of what we wanted our reception to be. Even at the last moment when we changed our entire plan 180 degrees, she jumped right in and got it all taken care of with NO problems! We had a very limited budget to work with and the quantity -and- quality of the flowers was more than we could have hoped for. You really get a lot for your money!

    I would recommend Fleur to anyone and everyone who asked before even thinking of another florist.

    Kristen and Tami listened to my thoughts and ideas. I had literally no idea what flowers I wanted, so based on many photos and color options, the 2 of them came up with the most beautiful bouquets and arrangements!! I could not have dreamed of something better! I am so thankful for their immediate responses to my many questions, they made this part of my wedding planning much easier!
    I am extremely satisfied and look forward to referring them when the chance arises, as well as having them make arrangements for another party we may be planning soon! :)

    Happily in Newlywed Bliss...

    Fluer did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding flowers. I received many comments from guests about how beautiful and elegant the bouquets and arrangements were. Tami was very easy to work with and takes the time to really get to know the feel that you are wanting for your wedding and matches the flowers wonderfully. She has a great library of photos to look at from her past work and creates a very unique and beautiful feel for weddings.

    Tami made planning my wedding decor so much fun. She is so passionate about what she does and it really shows. Tami worked within my budget and provided flowers that were more beautiful than I ever imagined. She also helped me with other ideas and referred other services to make my planning easier. Thank you!

    The flowers that Kristen and Tami artfully arranged for our wedding were amazing! We wanted something truly unique and creative and they delivered on each front. Kristen listened to my ideas and brought so many wonderful ideas of her own in order to make something truly beautiful. Everyone was commenting on how beautiful and unique the flowers were.

    The florist I worked with was Kristen Baxstresser and she was brilliant when it came to flowers. She was funny, out-going and so knowledgeable about what flowers that were in-season and their price range. We started by going through a flower book, where she would write down the flowers that struck my fancy. The main flowers that I wanted were carnations (my family flower) and she incorporated them into all my flower arrangements and even my cake. All the flowers were gorgeous, BIG and stunning!

    We hired Tami for our wedding last month and the flowers were beautiful. I was on a strict budget and Tami gave great advice for choosing beautiful flowers without blowing my budget. The bouquets were absolutely beautiful! My husband made all of the wooden centerpiece boxes and I provided the single stem vases. Tami was totally fine with having us provide those pieces and the flowers selected for the centerpieces were perfect. I wanted some texture and Tami had great suggestions for what type of flowers/greenery would be the best fit. The only criticism I have is the drop off fee, my venue was 5miles from her shop and I just wanted her to drop everything off because my coordinator would set everything up later in the day. The fee was $150 to drop off the flowers, which seems a little steep to me. Other than that everything turned out great!

    I have mixed emotions writing this review. My bridesmaids bouquets came out perfectly, exactly what I wanted. My bouquet wilted before I made it down the aisle. The Garland for the arch broke into 8 peices. We tried to cobble it back together. It was the most important part to me so I was really stressed and disappointed

    Beautiful flowers but difficult to work with from a distance

    Tami is good at putting together your vision for flowers. My biggest frustration was that she is not easy to work with for anyone that doesn’t live in the area. My husband and I were planning our wedding from the other side of the country, and Tami didn’t make this easy. She does not like to use technology beyond email which is challenging. For both the deposit and final payment, I sent checks via certified mail to ensure these large checks got to her. I also notified her each time I was sending them so she knew when they were scheduled to arrive. Both times she was not home when they were delivered and then made a big deal about getting them. She even asked me to overnight a second check for the final payment because she hadn’t been home to receive the first one. She also expected us to sign several contract versions and we couldn’t just scan and email them. She required that we mail hard copies but in return she just sent me copies via email. I can see how she would be great to work with if you live in the Paso Robles area, but for anyone planning their event from a distance I would recommend looking for someone who is more willing to utilize technology.

    Fleur ~ very pretty flowers's reply:

    Kathryn, Thanks for your heartfelt review. I hope at least your flowers exceeded your expectations. I understand your frustration, esp in the midst of planning a wedding. I no longer use credit cards as the fees are so excessive and I hate passing on those fees to my clients. I try to be competitive with my pricing and I don't have a minimum order, just trying to keep it as stress free and real as possible. I hunted down your checks at the post office and even chased down the mailman. No receipt was left at my house for signing for these mailed checks, frustrating for me too as I would have signed for them. Frustratingly beyond my control. I didn't know when the checks would arrive and as a busy business owner I am not home all day every day. Legally I have to have what's called a "wet signature" (ink) on the contract, which is why on the final contract needed to be mailed. I don't expect it, but my ratings really do mean a lot to me and if you would reconsider your rating also based upon my design interpretation, value, and quality I would so appreciate it. Again, best wishes for your new life together. It was a pleasure working with you and meeting your family members! Tami

    I met Tami at the CCWP fair and she was very nice and seemed like she got what my vision was. Additionally she was ok with only doing my bouquet, some bouts and corsages (which some florists were not). I then met with her in her home studio and was feeling very good after leaving that meeting. Her pice was reasonable and I really thought she got my vision. White florals, big fluffy flowers with texture, lavender and some light green. Communication was decent an I will say I was slow on some response times. Then the week of the wedding came. I emailed her to confirm and hasn't heard back to her. I was calling and texting her ON THE DAY OF MY WEDDING. She had the wrong number or something (even though she had two contracts with my number) and said she thought she had called me and left me a message. Then I got my bouquet. First I had given her lace from my mom's headpiece to wrap around the bouquet the lace had these pretty pearls attached to them, but it was 30 years old and I didn't know how they were attached. The lace was on there, but it was in so much water that the wrap was soaked and the glue that was holding the pearls on got tacky and holding the bouquet was sticky and all the pearls were falling off. So my mom and I frantically tried our best to wipe off the tackiness and peals with it. Dumped out the water and put it much less. Eventually my bouquet wrap dried out and it was fine. But then the flowers themselves. So much more greenery than I wanted. In pictures you can hardly even see the white flowers and the bouquet kind of overwhelmed me and we had spicifically discussed the size of the bouquet. Also I was disappointed by the corsages and boutonnières that we received from her.

    Overall I would recommend going with a different florist. I wish I had...

    Fleur ~ very pretty flowers's reply:

    KC ~ I just received your review. I am so sorry you were disappointed. I have photos of your concepts as well as of your actual flowers, I never heard from you that you were not delighted. If I had been contacted on the day of, I likely could have done something. I packed the flowers carefully to be picked up - unless they were splashed a bunch, they should have arrived safely (not drenched). I take pride in my work, and I included all of the flowers we discussed. I hope the rest of your day was wonderful, and I hope that married life is treating you well! If I can make this up to you in any way, please let me know! Tami, Fleur
