Simply amazing!
Amanda was the first florist we talked with when we started looking for a florist, and we already knew that we wouldn’t need to look elsewhere. We told her upfront that we are not “aesthetics people” and essentially asked if she could do her thing based on our (very loose) wedding colors. Without an ounce of judgment, she told us not to worry. And indeed, she absolutely delivered! Everything from the bouquet to arch florals to centerpieces were absolutely stunning. She runs her own flower farm and has expertise in botany in addition to florals, which means her florals have a natural beauty. She also clearly has a lot of experience — we had an unexpected situation where the groomswoman was supposed to have a boutonniere but her outfit was too light to hold it, and Amanda was able to create a corsage out of the boutonniere on the spot. Working with Amanda was a breeze as well, as she is responsive, flexible, and simply a great person. She also proactively suggested and implemented ways to save costs such as repurposing ceremony florals for reception decorations. I’ve been telling my partner kI almost want to have another wedding just so that I can get florals from Amanda again! -

The incredible florist!!
Amanda is the most amazing florist. I was completely blown away by how beautiful my flowers were for my wedding. I gave her a loose idea around using proteas and colors and she absolutely hit it out of the park - everyone at the wedding was gushing about the flowers. She's absolutely delightful to work with and her creativity with the arrangements and quality of flowers - which she grows herself! - is mind blowing. Couldn't recommend her enough!! -

Florist of our dreams!
After our first phone call with Amanda, I knew we had to have her as our florist! Our wedding ceremony was on the beach in Carmel, and after sharing our colors and succulent inspiration, her vision on paper was perfect. In real life, it was even more beautiful than we could have imagined!
Everyone raved about the bouquets and the arch decor. The pops of color complemented the beach setting perfectly, and the succulents tied everything together in a way that felt natural yet polished. Amanda even grows her own flowers and succulents, so from start to finish, you can truly feel the love and effort she puts into each piece. She was flexible with our schedule despite having a busy day herself and we so appreciate her!
We could not recommend Amanda at Laughing Gal enough! Thank you for helping make our day so special!-

Wedding Flowers of my Dreams!
Amanda is THE BEST! Her flowers are some of the most gorgeous I have ever seen. Her ability to arrange and design those beautiful flowers is unparalleled. Even though all of the photos are stunning, everything was even more amazing in person. She was a joy to work with - she translated my ideas into the wedding flowers of my dreams. She was honest with me about areas she thought I could cut back on to save on costs. She was flexible, talented, humble, and so sweet/positive! Quite literally everything was PERFECT! You cannot go wrong working with Laughin Gal/Amanda and I would pick to work with her a thousand times over!

Joyful & Unforgettable
Amanda was a pleasure to work with and helped create the wedding of our dreams. Her floral arrangements were masterpieces and exactly what we envisioned. Every step of the way she was friendly and patient, and we can’t thank her enough for all her hard work during these busy times. My bouquet successfully dried out in my garage, and I am so happy I will be enjoying her flowers for many years to come. Don’t hesitate, choose Laughin’ Gal Floral!!-

Truly Outstanding
OUTSTANDING. We were fortunate enough to snatch Amanda up after she had a cancellation! Don’t sit on booking her, she fills up fast! (We booked in March 2021 for our June wedding)
Amanda may be one of the most passionate people for her craft I have ever met. Her flowers are her pride and joy and it shows in her work. She made the most incredible arch structure for our ceremony adorned with perfect flowers that matched our color scheme of slate blue, grey, and ivory.
Admittedly, my fiance and I went back and forth on a few floral decisions and made Amanda draw up about 7 invoices by the time our wedding came around! She was kind, gracious, and bursting with so many wonderful ideas throughout the entire process.
Through our phone conversations, she was able to bring to life our vision of having cut wine bottles line our reception tables with bud vases expertly filled with flowers.
Amanda created the most perfect bouquets and she even added in a flower she knew I loved. She even threw some extra flower petals into our fountain for an extra pop!
Truly, truly she could not have done a more perfect job. We are in love with all her thoughtful ideas. My one piece of advice: she’s an expert at her craft, give her ideas, but give Amanda the space to create because she will create perfection! -

The perfect floral designer for us
Hands down the nicest and kindest floral designer I've ever worked with. Amanda created the most beautiful floral arrangements for our wedding and we couldn't have been happier. I'm a very picky bride and it was as if Amanda was in my head the entire time. She exceeded our expectations in every and made our wedding that much more special. Thank you Amanda and Laughin Gal for being such a gem to work with and capturing our vision so perfectly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. -

Amazing flowers!
No one knows flowers better than Amanda. Amanda is a true artist and knows exactly how to execute her clients’ visions. I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted, but after my first call with her, I knew I was in good hands. She took some of my photos and our conversation and came up with amazing floral arrangements. The bridal party’s bouquets were gorgeous as were the reception table flowers. She created a beautiful flower canopy and provided some loose florals for the wedding cake. Amanda was super easy to work with and such a positive addition to wedding planning. Highly recommend! -

Unreal & magical
Okay I didnt have to say much to Amanda for her to totally just get my vision, which even I dont understand myself sometimes lol. We must be flower soulmates, because when I saw the flower bouquets, I pretty much died. Of happiness. I said I want wild, colorful, whimsical, small blooms but loosey goosey, not uptight, and just super fun. She took these words and JUST WENT BEYOND. Speechless and I have to say, besides having our wedding in the most beautiful green venue ever (Holly Farm), the flowers were one of my most favorite details EVER. HOLY MOLY. I DIE x1000000. -

A truly gifted florist
Amanda is such a gem. She’s truly invested in making your vision come true. She was so flexible, so helpful, and is such a genuinely sweet person. She made absolutely gorgeous pieces for us even though she already had a wedding scheduled on our date! She set it all up perfectly, so it was easy to arrange. I am forever grateful for her hard work and artistic mind and willingness to help. Stunning bouquets, awesome garland for our sweetheart table, gorgeous and unique arrangements for our centerpieces, and lovely buttonieres. An Aromas girl through and through. Thank you for everything Amanda!-

Gorgeous flowers from an amazing team!
I absolutely adore Amanda! When I first requested a proposal from her, she sent the most detailed spreadsheet with everything I could have ever wanted. She is SO good about responding in a timely manner and really helped make my vision real. She kept up with all of my notes and changes and sent me updated drafts along the way.
She greeted me in my Bridal Suite the day of the wedding to give me my flowers and was just the sweetest human. Her work is beautiful and her personality matches. All of the guests commented on how gorgeous the flowers were for the ceremony and reception. She really took what I wanted and did more than I could have dreamed of.
Not sure what else to say other than she is amazing and everyone should book her for their wedding or other events. Thank you thank you to Amanda and her fantastic team! -

Seriously, I don’t even know where to start. Hands down Amanda was my favorite vender for my wedding. From beginning this journey with her, planning and getting my ideas heard, all the emails and meetings, to the actual wedding.... what a dream. Amanda is the most talented florist and the fact that you are so down to earth and real! I love your personality, all of our other venders loved working with you, you had such a calm cool demeanor that just always made me feel relaxed, like hanging out with a best friend. Let’s get to the flowers! Oh my gosh I could have died! GORGEOUS!! You saw my vision and made it even better than I could have expected! Folks, she grows her own flowers at her house locally. Flowers are grown and hand cut just for you. What else could anyone ask for. The love and detail that goes into everything is breathtaking! I already have friends that want to book with you for their big day.
Again Amanda, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Much love from Alaska
Sadye and Bryant-

Where can you find a floral artist who is also a botanist with her own flower farm? Right. Here. Amanda's home grown beauties and effortless style will make your wedding feel like a magical wonderland bursting in blooms. Amanda is kind hearted through and through and this is reflected in her care for her clients and the beautiful results of her hard work.
Amanda brought her vision to our wedding day and the results were amazing beyond description. She was communicative and had great ideas throughout the planning process. She worked within our budget and educated us on how we could maximize on each and all of our ideas. On the day of she brought a calming and positive energy to the venue. Our only regret is that we would have loved to spend more time with her.-

Bouquets and arrangements are my favorite part of any wedding so I had high expectations for Amanda. She exceeded them! I sent her a few photos of what I liked for my bouquet and she totally captured my inspiration. She made my bouquet, table arrangements, boutonnieres and a precious flower crown for our daughter. Everything was fresh and gorgeous. Thanks Amanda! -

Amanda and her flowers are tremendous!!! I absolutely LOVED working with her for my wedding day. Amanda was accessible, responsive, and had incredible ideas to make my wedding vision a reality, all within the constraints of my budget! The arrangements that she came up with completely exceeded my expectations. In addition to the flowers for tables, bridesmaids, boutonnieres, she also put together the most incredible hair wreath, that was all and more than I hoped for. I still dream about the arrangements from my wedding day! Thank you Amanda!! -

Amanda is a goddess! She crafted the most beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and garland for our wedding on May 20th. She was so easy to work with through the initial discovery calls, contracting, and ultimately the event. The bouquets came with vases to put on the head table during reception, and we all brought them home as well. Everything I said during our phone calls was brought to life in a way more perfect than imaginable. Amanda knows what she's doing, and she made my day bringing all the beautiful pieces in while we were getting ready. So grateful for her - and highly recommend Laughin' Gal Floral! -

I used Laughin' Gal Floral for my outdoor wedding in May 2016 and I was so happy that I did! Amanda was very professional and I loved her attention to detail. I really appreciated that she provided me with an itemized estimate including details about in-season flowers, estimated size, and the general vibe for the bouquets/boutonnieres/ceremony pieces. She also stayed within budget! I absolutely loved my bouquet but I think my favorite piece was the arch she created for our ceremony site. She went above and beyond with the floral arch and it really added a lot of joy to the wedding. Amanda is incredibly sweet and she was a joy to work with. I highly recommend using Laughin' Gal Floral for your wedding! -

Amanda is INCREDIBLE! She grew and designed the flowers for my wedding and I was totally blown away. When we saw the flowers she did for our friends' wedding in Santa Cruz, we knew we wanted to use her. What we didn't know was what a kind, sweet, and patient person she was. She listened to what we wanted and was generous with her time, allowing us to tweak what we wanted several times. I could never have imagined our chuppah could be so beautiful-- it was bursting with the most amazing flowers and greenery. The table pieces and all the other florals she put together for the wedding were a perfect reflection of our taste and style. If you are looking for gorgeous flowers grown and designed by a wonderful person, look no further! -

Amanda from Laughin Gal floral was amazing! She made me the most beautiful bouquet for my wedding! I gave her a bunch of pictures for inspiration and the bouquet she made far surpassed any of the pictures I showed her and was exactly what I wanted. She really listened to what I wanted and helped make the wedding look absolutely magical. All the bridesmaids bouquets as well as the centerpieces were perfect! I would definitely recommend Laughing Gal floral to anybody that is getting married in the California Central Coast area. She is simply the best!! -

Amanda designed all of our wedding florals at the Holly Farm in Carmel, CA, August 2015: my wedding bouquet, our chuppah, the men's boutineers and women's wrist corsages, and our table arrangements - I couldn't have been happier! She was incredibly flexible with my requests (using my favorite flower, calla lillies, and no fragrant flowers due to allergies) and my vague description of a bouquet style. I loved that she knew what I wanted even though I had trouble articulating my ideas. THANK YOU, Amanda, a million times for offering your talent, creativity and stunning arrangements! -

Amanda is AMAZING. We were fortunate enough to have Amanda do our flowers for our wedding at The Holly Farm in Carmel. From our first meeting, she completely blew me away. She has more knowledge about flowers than anyone I've ever met. I had a vague idea of colors and types of flowers that I thought I wanted for our wedding and she took my ideas and ran with them. The day of our wedding, I was shocked by the beauty and quality of the flowers. My bouquet was just breathtaking and smelled so, so wonderful. My bridesmaids could not believe how beautiful their bouquets were. Amanda knew the colors of their dresses and made these lucious bouquets that complimented the color and style so perfectly. Each groomsmen had a different succulent in their bouquet and that was such a unique touch. I could go on and on. Thank you Amanda! I cannot recommend her enough. Did I mention that her prices were absolutely reasonable too? -

Amanda took our vision provided to her by way of photos and turned it into something truly unique and absolutely stunning. The bouquets were fantastic. The boutonnieres masculine and detailed. Amanda is extremely talented and even grows all of her own flowers which makes the arrangements that much more special. Thank you so much Amanda!!!! We wouldn't have changed one thing! -

Amanda gets flowers and she puts together even more beautiful arrangements! I can't thank her and the rest of the Laughin Gal team for putting together such spectacular arrangements for my wedding! She beyond understood my vision, and every arrangement exceeded my expectations! In the planning process, we had a few calls where we talked in detail about what I wanted my arrangements to look like, from sharing Pintrest pictures to just talking through the details. Every arrangement from my bridal bouquet which was beyond spectacular to the little jars that lined the seats at the ceremony were perfect! I am so thrilled I had Amanda do my flowers, and would hire her again in a heartbeat as she can execute with precision! Thank you! -

Absolutely stunning! The florals that Amanda provided for our wedding at Chaminade in Santa Cruz were incredible. Everything from the smaller vases with flowers on the cocktail tables, to the flowers floating in the fountain, to the gorgeous bouquets... I cannot recommend her enough.. She spend a lot of time with me before hand getting an idea of my vision for the flowers and she absolutely nailed it!! Aside from getting married, the florals were my favorite part of the wedding! I can't thank her enough for putting in so much effort, despite our rainy day, to help give us our dream wedding. Thank you Amanda! -

WOW. Amanda is the epitome of talent. My husband and I didn't go big on extra decor, so it was important that the flowers were just right. I had created a vision in my mind of what perfection would look like and Amanda exceeded it. My flowers were hands-down, my FAVORITE element of our wedding design. I received so many comments from not only guests, but people who saw photos, on how stunning the flowers were. I cannot recommend Amanda more. -

Amanda at Laughin' Gal Floral is simply a dream to work with. Not only did she provide big, beautiful, flowers full of color to our wedding, but she made the entire process go more smoothly than we could have dreamed.
First, Amanda helped us finalize our wedding colors. We wanted to make sure we'd be able to get flowers to match, and she -- ever so wisely -- advised us to change one of our colors slightly. It was an excellent decision. Next, Amanda spent two hours with us, discussing our wedding, what kind of flowers we'd like, what kind of arrangements we'd like, and much more, all as Amanda tried -- and succeeded! -- to get a feel for what our special day would be like.
After a successful initial meeting, we corresponded with Amanda, and she offered prompt, friendly, and above all helpful service in the lead-up to the wedding. She was unbelievably accommodating of our budgetary constraints, and worked with us at length to make sure we'd have beautiful flowers at a price we could stomach. And we absolutely did!
To top it all off, she brought us a free, unsolicited boutonniere on the wedding day just because she thought it would look good. (We weren't planning on doing any at all.) It looked fabulous, and we were blown away by her generosity.
We would work with her again in a heartbeat. -

Amazing, simply amazing. The flowers for our wedding were beyond what we could have imagined the day we met with Amanda. She has an incredibly artistic eye and a great knowledge of available flowers, their textures and color palettes. She worked within our budget to create a soft, romantic theme in a very large outdoor space. It was so beautiful! She arrived the day of the wedding ready to set up, very professional and organized. She's a joy to work with--you won't be disappointed. -

I was so lucky to find Laughin' Gal Floral to do the flowers at our wedding, which was on May 18, 2013. Amanda was by far the sweetest personality we met with, and her floral arrangements were original, beautiful, and made our wedding ceremony and reception just over-the-top gorgeous.
We got so many compliments during our event on the flowers and when we announced that the guests could take the table flowers home, there was actually a rush by folks to take the centerpieces and other arrangements around the reception. I am still getting texts of the flowers people took with comments about how beautiful they are still...8 days later.
My bouquet was exactly what I had wanted and was soooooo beautiful. I have it still in a vase at home and it is still looking so pretty. Amanda grows the flowers herself on their land, and any flowers she ends up collecting after an event go to mulch the next round of blooms which I thought was just awesome.
I couldn't have asked for a sweeter person to work with, and sooo patient with all my questions. I am sooo glad we found her and that she did our wedding. She truly made it special.
Thanks Amanda!!! -

Amanda does such gorgeous things with flowers! We'd given her a challenge with our colors - orange and blue - but she made the most lovely bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres. It really pulled the wedding party look together, and I think my bouquet is in about every single one of our wedding photos. To top it all off, she's a delight to work with. Highly recommended!! -

Amanda Seely is not only knowledgeable about plants and flowers(she's a Biologist and Botanist by training), she has exquisite taste and she's a pleasure to work with. I know nothing about flowers and I needed Amanda to help me work out what would be best for my wedding. I told her what my wedding colors were, we discussed some ideas I liked, I send her some pictures and I told her about some flowers I liked. She worked her magic to do all the rest! And she did a GORGEOUS job. I was sooo pleased with the altar arrangements and the garland adorning the entrance to the chapel. I really loved the guy's boutonnieres and our table centerpieces. And I adored my bouquet. My flowers were so special - everything was fresh from her garden, organic and fragrant. All the varieties were so different, unique, off the beaten path... And the colors were perfect. Amanda exceeded my expectations and I could not thank her enough. She made my wedding a beautiful, colorful, fragrant dream! -

Amanda was wonderful to work with.
She has a great eye for design, is creative, thorough, and is a walking botanical encyclopedia.
We met at a local coffee shop, and browsed her beautiful portfolios. I was planning a tiny family-only garden party wedding. 5 corsages, 5 bouteneers, one bridal bouquet, and a few loose blooms for my hair. Pollen makes me sneeze, and I wanted aromatic and local brights. Amanda's arrangements knocked my socks off! They were perfect!
My bouquet included sage, freesia, and a few other lovelies, and the aroma was amazing. All day long, I'd catch the floral scent and smile. I was enveloped in beauty. After the wedding, I was able to hang the bouquet upside down and dry it. It kept it's shape, and much of the color, and only shrank about 10%.
Amanda is prompt, professional, and truly skilled with florals. I recommend her 100%. -

Amanda has the eye and intuition needed to create the perfect floral arrangement even if you don't know what the perfect arrangement is! I had only a vague idea of what I wanted but when I saw her creations the day of my wedding I was blown away! The beautiful fresh flowers she choose, arrangement and her attention to detail make her a sure bet. -

I cannot recommend Laughin Gal Floral enough! Amanda was so great to work with and very detail oriented. I loved the fact that she went above and beyond to make everything personal. My MoH even contacted her to make similar centerpieces as our ceremony for my bridal shower a couple months before to give me an idea of her work. She understood my vision perfectly and exceeded my expectations. She was also very flexible and transparent about the cost of each line item and would offer suggestions on how I could save money to stay within my budget. I highly recommend Laughin Gal Floral for any wedding or event! -

Amanda was so great to work with! She was easy going and very professional and she definitely knows her flowers! Our venue was so spectacular that we truly did not need a ton of florals! Amanda designed the most beautiful bouquets for our wedding. I wanted all white flowers and I couldn't have dreamed of more gorgeous flowers. My bridal bouquet was so so so pretty! The bridesmaids flowers were also stunning! All our of reception tables had beautiful arrangements as well. Amanda was great at working with our budget and making our dream flowers come to life. I highly recommend Amanda at Laughin Gal Floral! -

Amanda did a fantastic job with our flowers for our recent wedding. Our flowers were beautiful. We weren't flower people to being with and only gave vague guidance, but Amanda was able to bring our ideas to life. She helped us come up with ideas, such as having two centerpieces alternated across different tables so that we each got what we liked. She was very detailed in her communication, providing spreadsheets with all of our details and talking through every piece with us. She also helped us decorate beyond florals, completing trellis decorations and setting up candles around the reception.
I bring down half a star on respnosiveness because sometimes email responses were slow, but I wouldn't let this stop me from using Amanda - we always ultimately got a response, sometimes just had to ask twice! -

Amanda was fabulous to work with and I highly recommend her. I don't know a lot about flowers and they weren't a huge priority for me since we were getting married outdoors and weren't planning on using them for decor. Amanda came recommended by a friend and after a quick conversation, I knew she would be great to work with. Using some photos and describing to her the feel of what we were looking for, I felt very comfortable giving her the reins and letting her be an expert. She grows all her flowers on her farm, as well as making the arrangements, so not only were we happy to support a local, sustainable, woman owned business, everything was SUPER fresh, having been picked just a day before the wedding.
Our “colors” were succulents and Amanda put together a bouquet for me and a boutonnière for my husband and used the same succulent plant as the highlight in each, which I loved. Each bouquet and boutonnière had a different succulent, and everything coordinated, without matching perfectly; exactly the natural, relaxed feel we were looking for. She created a package for us that worked with our budget and taste, gave us lots of options, and rolled with any last minute changes or requests I threw at her. The flowers were gorgeous, and I loved being able to enjoy my bouquet for over a week after the day. -

This vendor is amazing! She was great during our phone call and really understood what I was looking for in flowers. You can tell she has a passion for what she does, and she is damn good at it! My bouquets came out SO beautiful. She was very flexible in using blue bottles I had instead of vases for the tables, and adding my beloved pet's feathers to the bouquet for extra texture, and adding them to the boutonnieres. The groom even exclaimed "These boutonnieres look just like the photos we sent, they are exactly what I wanted."
She is a small business owner, which takes a lot of time. Replies might not be immediate, but she really pays attention to details. When I got the first details of what she was thinking for the flowers I was blown away by all the thought and care she put into it. I was confident from the beginning that she would be able to do a great job, because of that trust I didn't mind if I didn't hear back within seconds of my e-mails. At the end of the day the flowers were breathtaking. I highly suggest Laughin' Gal Floral and wish I could add some photos to this review, because if you could see them you would book her right away! -

Such a joy to work with
Absolutely loved having Amanda as my florist for my wedding on 10.14.18 at Pema Osel Ling!!!! What really drew me to her besides the fact that she makes beautiful arrangements, was the fact that she is a local vendor in the Santa Cruz area who grows all of her own flowers! From the beginning we knew what to expect with her thorough, detailed quote (although she really went above and beyond and included lots extra flowers the day of!). I didn't have a concrete vision of what I wanted, but Amanda was somehow able to take all of my vague ideas and create exactly what I wanted. I am so glad I let her take the reigns because she was able to really complement the already beautiful nature elements in my venue and add the perfect amount of rustic, earthy beauty with all of her arrangements. For our ceremony Amanda provided dried lavender for our guests to throw, and it smelled wonderful walking into married life with the smell of lavender surrounding us and our loved ones (I had low expectations and didn't think the ceremony space would smell so strongly of lavender from the dried lavender toss, but it was such a lovely surprise!). My bouquet was stunning - I couldn't stop looking at it and all of the different wild flowers and rustic elements that were included in it. Amanda brought extra flowers/greenery to place around the venue and it was just such a sweet, nice touch. I wanted flowers in my hair and she brought multiple options, and I was then able to share the extras with my mom and mother in law so they too could have flowers in their hair. The centerpieces were gorgeous and not just a simple vase with flowers - she really took time to make each one unique. One of the most meaningful creations Amanda provided were the living centerpieces that she made for me and my husband's parents - they are cement logs with living plants so that our parents could have a part of our wedding live on with them in their homes. My husband and I loved working with Amanda and she was such a sweet, caring person to see while setting up and getting prepped before the ceremony. We are so happy that on one of the most memorable days of our lives we went with Laughin Gal Floral and could go on and on about what a pleasure she was to work with! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! -

First, the flowers were amazing and I received so many compliments from my guests. Second, my husband's boutonniere was just beautiful and turned out perfectly (she really listened). Third, Amanda was always upbeat and very flexible. Finally, the only problem I had was getting in touch with her - it did take some work sometimes! FANTASTIC FLOWERS -

Nope for me
Florist
Amanda was supposed to be my florist for my wedding in May 2020, unfortunately we had to postpone it to 12/19/20 due to COVID. She was a preferred vendor by our venue so we trusted her. When the California Governor shut down California two weeks before our December wedding, the venue cancelled our wedding on us. Amanda stole from me by refusing to give me my money back, not even half. She provided absolutely nothing in return even though she harvests her own flowers and they did not go to waste. I truly thought she was a genuine person after speaking with her on the phone several times, but at the end of the day all she cared about was money and couldn’t have cared less that my wedding was cancelled on me. I would NOT recommend her as your florist.. she is a thief
