    Beautiful flowers!

    Barbara was an absolute joy to work with! I would highly recommend working with her. Barbara was kind, efficient, and responsive. I sent her some Pinterest links and she was able to bring my vision to life while sticking to my budget. I wanted romantic florals, and she perfectly executed my bouquets, boutonnieres, table centerpieces, and a floral arch. She even helped set up my arch, which wasn't an original part of our agreement! All of my florals were absolutely gorgeous, and I couldn't have been happier!

    Went above and beyond!

    Barbara Samaniego was HANDS DOWN the best Florist EVER! She went ABOVE AND BEYOND making sure she created EXACTLY what I was envisioning for my wedding day! Barbara was very communicative - she was always in communication with me, whether it was phone calls, text messages, etc. She illustrated drawings of my vision, did trial arrangements, and worked with me to customize exactly what I wanted. She was positive, on top of things, organized, and completely worked within our budget. Barbara also went above and beyond by locating a rare type of flower that I wanted for my bouquet. She made phone calls, and researched all over Florida where to find this rare type of flower I requested. Barbara not only found the flower, but purchased the plant so that it would bloom just in time for my wedding! She used those rare flowers in my bouquet, and it was just absolutely beautiful and incredible! I could not have asked for a better florist! Hiring Barbara was the BEST decision I made! We HIGHLY recommend Barbara and Focus Floral for you wedding flowers! We couldn't be happier!

    Stunningly Beautiful

    We knew we wanted a few specific flowers incorporated into the wedding and we also wanted them to match our colors. Barbra took what we asked for and turned it into the most beautiful arrangements. The bouquets were stunning! Everything exceeded expectations from the centerpieces to the boutonnières. All the flowers were fresh, beautiful, and big! The rose petals lining the beach was a fabulous accent. We would recommend her to anyone!

    Must use barbara!

    If you are getting married in Naples or Marco Island and dont use barbara at focus floral you are insane!! I was absolutely blown away at how beautiful my flowers were! I didnt really focus on flowers because a) i dont know anything about flowers and b) my venue was a beautiful resort on the beach so i didnt feel the need to focus on decor. well let me tell you, the one thing i remember from my wedding day is how absolutely beautiful my flowers were! Better than expected! Barbara made 10 beautiful bouquets for my bridesmaids, a gorgeous bouquet for me, corsages for my mothers, boutonnieres for my groom and groomsmen, centerpieces, isle pieces, and even dressed up the tiki hut we got married under. Words do not do her justice she is a master at her craft. I must disclose i told her "do whatever you feel looks nice" because i trusted her judgement as mine is inexperienced and boy am i happy i did. I sent her maybe 10 photos of ideas, told her the jist of what i wanted and the feel and look i was going for and her imagination took off. I am telling you if you trust in her she will not let you down! MUST USE !!!!!

    Barbara did a wonderful job putting all of our flowers together. They came out exactly they way we imagined them.
    She also stuck around to distribute the flowers to our guests & wedding party..including pinning the bouteneniers on.
    Everything was beautiful..it was our fairytale wedding.
    Thank you so much Barbara for making all our dreams come true!

    Barbara was so great to work with, and she nailed my dream wedding vision! She was very responsive to all of my questions throughout the planning process. She is also very good at being aware of your budget and helping you get the most/best flowers for your budget and style. All of flowers were gorgeous and in perfect bloom. I received so many compliments on them.

    Barbara provided flowers for my bouquet, 8 bridesmaids/groomsmen and our reception. She was very responsive to all emails and took the time to sit down with me for almost two hours to discuss what options I wanted to have for flowers. I came into this process clueless and with little idea about what I wanted and Barbara was able to direct my visions into a beautiful end product! All flowers arrived at each of their respective locations on time and were in excellent shape. Thank you for your lovely work, Barbara!

    If you are looking for the best florist, the most talented, with great personality, professional and extremely reasonable prices then Barbara at Focus Floral will not dissapoint you. We had a destination Wedding at The Ritz-Carlton, Beach House in Naples, FL in November 2017. She created the most beautiful arrangements, guests are still talking about it. She help me with planning and executed our vision to perfection. She was always available via phone and email, she's was on time ( early in fact to make sure all was well on my big day). I could not imagine our day without Barbara's gorgeous arrangements. She is truly the best in all of the area. She worked really well with the hotel's destination event department, making the planning process less stressful and the wedding decore just incredibly elegant and flawless while keeping under budget!!! You will not regret working with her... Thank you Barbara, you are truly the best!!!!

    Barbara was awesome! I love my bouquet, she was able to design what I had seen on the website. She was kind, friendly and always kept in touch with me throughout the planning process. I would highly recommend her service. She was able to honor the budget I had from the first venue in Puerto Rico. We had two weeks to relocate the wedding to Naples. I found Barb from my photographer. I got to meet her & her husband the day of the wedding . Very nice couple ! Thanks, Barb

    Barbara was absolutely amazing for our wedding on Marco Island! We were supposed to get married in Naples but Hurricane Irma decided that she wanted to take out our original venue and make us start over a month before wedding day. Barbara was beyond accommodating and made sure our wedding day was as spectacular as she possibly could. There is absolutely no other florist in Southwest Florida that I would ever recommend to plan such a special day. Words cannot describe how happy we are with everything Barbara did for us!

    Focus Floral's reply:

    Thanks! You handled the Hurricane Irma curve ball with grace.
    Such a fun couple you are!

    Barbara was an absolute pleasure to work with! I started working with her about 8 months before my wedding with a very vague vision of what I wanted. She was able to help me focus in on the style I wanted and as I found pictures of flowers and styles that I liked, she was able to take my vision and run with it. The results she delivered on my wedding day were so much better than I could have imagined! Barbara has an absolute knack for design, and color, and structure, and texture. From the floral on the arch to my bouquet to my centerpieces, I couldn't be happier and I would recommend Barbara to anyone planning a wedding!

    Truly one of my favorite weddings! Loved your vision!!

    Barbara at focus floral is phenomenal. She quickly identified what I liked and created beautiful arrangements in a short period of time. She even helped me with my headpiece which I did not intentionally add to my list of floral needs. The combination of Callalily's and white roses with complementary greenery was outstanding. She delivered to our rehearsal dinner, suggested I reuse some arrangements from the rehearsal dinner to next day events, to save money, which she charged a small fee to pick up and deliver so I didn't have to worry about it. I highly recommend!!!!! Thank you Barbara!!!!!

    Thanks, Dawn!!
    I loved that day! Your dress was so stunning!!

    I had the most wonderful experience with Barbara throughout the wedding planning process. She EXACTLY knew my vision and completely nailed it! I was nervous about florals due to pricing and the size of my wedding, but she really worked with me to make sure my vision and budget stayed intact! The flowers were so gorgeous and was everything I ever wanted! I kept it simple with all white, with tall glass vases with baby's breath and short vases with white garden roses and regular roses, with some hydrangea as well. But, a little went a long way and the room was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. I could not have asked for a more perfect look, I highly recommend Focus Floral!!

    Focus Floral's reply:

    The room looked amazing! I loved the elegance of your selections!

    Barbara was WONDERFUL to work with. She was able to work with my vision within my budget. To be honest, I wasn't sure how the overall look would be on my wedding day, but LOVED EVERYTHING. It was absolutely perfect. I would recommend just giving Barbara a call if you are looking at florists in this area.

    Barbara at Focus Floral perfectly executed our vision for our wedding day! I'm still in awe with how great our floral arrangements looked. I was particularly obsessed with my bridal bouquet and how they decorated our ceremony arch. Highly recommend!!

    After one meeting with Barbara, sharing some on-line photos and discussing our vision...she NAILED IT! We couldn't be happier with Focus Floral, the amazing talent of Barbara Samaniego and all those at Focus Floral that helped make our daughter's wedding dreams become reality. Stunning work! Thank you Barbara!

    It all started when my other florist fell through. Weeks before my wedding and the anxiety started to kick in. My sister contacted Barbra and sent her my budget and some ideas. Barbra reached out to me almost immediately and was eager to help. She made some suggestions on flowers that were better than I could have ever imagined. Her creativity, imagination, flexibility and way to ease my worry was a bride's dream come true. I provided some vases and accent pieces and Barbra worked them into my center pieces beautifully!! The ceremony and reception were outside on the beach and everything kept perfect the whole night. There is no way to ever thank someone enough when they have literally stepped in to save the biggest day of their life. Thank you Barbra you are very talented and I loved having you be a part of my wedding.

    There are not enough words to express how wonderful Barbara was to work with. From the moment we began interacting, she worked diligently to make our dream wedding a reality--even within our budget! Barbara allowed us to incorporate as much of our creativity and desire for uniqueness with her expertise and detailed eye. As a result, well, we are still getting compliments (3 weeks post wedding!). As expected, there was a wedding day hiccup. I mistakenly forgot my flower girl basket...back home...600 miles away! Barbara, the super-woman she is, came to my rescue and created a basket out of palm leaves--which was more perfect than any wicker basket you can buy in stores. If ever I had to plan a wedding (any event!), Barbara would be my first call. She deserves more than 5 stars and you would be doing yourself a disservice if you passed her up!

    Barbara was a dream to work with. She worked within our budget and provided beautiful florals for our April 2016 wedding at Marco Beach Ocean Resort. Barbara is a true creative professional. About 5 weeks before my wedding, my mother and I visited her shop to hammer out some details. I had a vision, but not a lot of specific ideas - Barbara grasped my vision and immediately started rattling off different options. You could see her creative gears turning! The day of the wedding, Barbara brought the bouquets to the suite and they were just so perfect! While my bridesmaids wore light blue, my flower palette focused around coral and ivory. Coral can be a tough color - you have red corals, pink corals, orange corals - but Barbara made it work so beautifully. I couldn’t have been happier with our flowers! In the chaos of getting ready that day, one of my groomsmen was missing a boutonniere when we started taking pictures, but it wasn’t a problem. My personal attendant tracked down Barbara who was setting up the center pieces and she had another boutonniere ready to go in minutes! We had a wonderful experience with Focus Floral and would definitely use Barbara again for any floral needs in SW Florida.

    Barbara at focus floral was absolutely amazing!! My flowers for my wedding turned out beautiful! I met with Focus floral and provided a few pictures of how I would like my flowers designed as well as the colors and the results were beyond my expectations and exactly how I wanted them! The price was also very reasonable and affordable, will work to keep the price within your budget! Overall I would definitely recommend focus floral, great service, beautiful results, reasonably priced, and great to work with!

    My husband and I used Focus Floral (Barbara) for our wedding, and were beyond pleased. Not only was Barbara amazing to work with, the design and arrangements were breathtakingly beautiful. I referred both my sister, and a friend to her without any hesitation after working with her, because I knew what great accomplished hands they were in. If you are looking for a florist in Southwest Florida, do yourself a favor and call Barbara, you will be happy and completely satisifed with the job she does.
