    STUNNINGLY beautiful wedding florals

    Margaret was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She listened intently to my ideas, helped me pull together a creative vision while sticking to my budget, and delivered beyond my wildest dreams. Her florals absolutely made our wedding - I can't even put into words how gorgeous they were, and how exactly in line they were with the vision we had discussed. She is warm, communicative, and absolutely wonderful to work with - I'd recommend her over and over again.

    So glad we chose Margaret!

    Margaret is an absolute gem! We hired her back in 2019 for our wedding, and what set her apart for me is that she didn't require a minimum, offered very straight forward pricing, and she sources local and seasonal florals. Throughout the process, she listened to our suggestions, took all the other elements of our wedding into account, and came up with a perfect plan for florals for our rooftop wedding at MOXI in March of 2020.

    Unfortunately our wedding got cancelled just a week before due to COVID-19, but Margaret was incredibly understanding and supportive throughout the rescheduling process. We made the tough decision a few months ago to postpone our wedding again by an entire year, but when we told Margaret we wanted to still get officially married on our original postponement date, she was genuinely thrilled for us and was completely on board to create separate arrangements for our smaller wedding.

    Since we didn't have the budget to bring in rentals and other vendors for a whole separate wedding (we had already paid for everything for our postponed wedding), we relied on Margaret to visually create an aisle and altar for our outdoor ceremony using potted floral arrangements and scattered rose petals. She was also able to set up the same arrangements at our outdoor dinner at Convivo, and it worked out perfectly.

    Margaret worked pure magic on our wedding day, and this time it was all planned in less than two months! Everyone LOVED my bouquet and the other arrangements, and they kept asking who our florist was :) We're so happy and thankful for the extra beauty that she added to our day, and we're so excited to work with her again for our wedding reception next year!

    Couldn't have done it without Margaret!

    Having Margaret as my florist made our wedding a success. She was extremely professional, patient, kind, and talented. She even handled the decor for the tables, which was one less thing (big) for me to worry about. She made sure the look of the whole event, from ceremony site, to cocktail hour, to dinner was cohesive and beautiful. Margaret was extremely professional and responsive during the planning process as well as the day of. Thank you Margaret! Our day would not have gone as well without you.

    A dream come true!

    It was an absolute delight working with Margaret for my wedding. She is a true talent, insanely creative, and oh so kind! As a fellow creative, I came to her with a vision -and a tight budget- and she worked with me offering excellent tips and suggestions for how best we could achieve the look I desired without compromising my aesthetic. She listened to my ideas and executed them more beautifully than I ever could have imagined; I could tell that she really cared about getting everything just right for me. As a lover of florals, my expectations were high - Margaret far exceeded my expectations!

    Thank you for making my floral dreams come true, Margaret - i'm forever grateful!!!

    Margaret made our wedding a thousand times more beautiful than I could have imagined. I’m admittedly not well versed in flowers - and didn’t really know where to begin with what to ask for. We knew we wanted to use our love of craft beer (and our own growlers) as well as our location on the water as inspiration. Margaret knocked it out of the park and then some. I was shocked when I walked into my own wedding at how lovely everything looked. It was done with attention to detail and incredible thoughtfulness. I am forever grateful to her for giving us so much within our tight budget. And on top of all of that - she’s totally lovely (she helped me with my train before I went down the aisle). Highly recommend!

    Margaret is so special and so spectacular, and her flowers and floral design is just breathtaking. Her eye for beauty is above and beyond anything we could have ever expected or dreamed of with the floral creations she provided for our dream wedding. She listened to every detail of what I had envisioned for my bridal bouquet and wedding party flowers as well as table and room decor, asked questions, and made me feel very important to her and not just like a business. When we think back on our special day we will always remember how beautiful it was, all thanks to Margaret and her talent, dedication, and hard work. I wish I could get married again and again so I could always be surrounded by Margaret’s arrangements!! Thank you so much Margaret for making our wedding day so gorgeous and dreamy, you will truly be in our hearts for the rest of our lives. Words can not describe how highly we would recommend her services!!

    I could not be happier with how the florals turned out for my wedding. Margaret completely understood my vision and made it 100 percent better. She made the whole ceremony and reception look like a romantic garden with trailing vines, big garden roses, and small bud vases throughout the tables. It was more than I could have ever hoped for. I loved all of it, especially my bouquet which smelled divine!

    Margaret was so great to work with for our Santa Barbara elopement! Since my new husband and I decided to elope destination-style, we were not in town much beforehand and I didn't get to meet her face to face (one of our attendants picked up the florals for us). In all of our communications, Margaret was very responsive, informative, and professional. She did an amazing job giving life to my floral vision for the wedding. I had requested using local flowers and plenty of succulents, and Margaret did not disappoint!

    I would readily recommend Margaret for wedding floral services. She will help bring so much beauty to your special day.

    Margaret came into the picture of our wedding late in the game, when I decided I would rather have a professional provide the flowers instead of DIYing them about two weeks before. She was quick and accommodating to the super-quick time frame. And the flowers were gorgeous!

    Loved, loved, loved our flower arrangements from Margaret! She arranged our bridal bouquet, groom's boutonnière, 11 center pieces and 2 tall pieces for the buffet and sign in tables. We met her at a small bridal showcase in Santa Barbara. We didn't talk to any other florists that day since we were so wowed by her warm vibe and beautiful arrangements. Everyone loved my bridal bouquet and was raving about the center pieces. If you love flower arrangements with structures and movement, we highly recommend Margaret Joan Flowers.

    I can't even begin to say enough about the flowers Margaret did for our wedding. I was blown away by all of the extra touches that I had not expected. Our wedding was covered top to bottom in the most stunning flowers I have ever seen. She was also a joy to work with from beginning to end.

    I saw Margaret's work online and loved her mission of using in-season local flowers. Not to mention she appeared truly talented. All I can say about my flowers is- WOW! Margaret went above and beyond with her arrangements- from the tablescapes to my own spectacular asymmetric bouquet (I wish I had pictures right now!). The guests were all raving about how beautiful the flowers were, and Margaret perfectly captured the "Hemingway garden party" I was going for- wild, natural, and not too feminine or formal, while still being visually stunning. Everything seriously looked magazine-worthy! Do yourself a favor if you are looking for a great florist in the Santa Barbara area- give Margaret a call today

    Margaret Joan Florals was an absolute delight to work with - from our initial concept meeting, to timely and friendly communications along the way, to her willingness and persistence to source just the right vases for my centerpieces, to working with me to create my one-of-a-kind bridal bouquet to go with my Valentino dress - she was professional, responsive, personable, extremely well versed and highly skilled in her medium. The centerpiece flowers and my bridal bouquet were completely above and beyond. Margaret not only realized my concept and vision with her floral creations, she exceeded my expectations tenfold and essentially 'made' both my outfit and wedding.

    Margaret from Margaret Joan Florals was a breeze to work with and created and absolutely stunning collection of bouquets, corsages, centerpieces, and cake flowers. My wife and I met with her at her home and discussed a vision of what we wanted, and she was very sweet and easygoing. My wife has a taste in flowers that is unique and unconventional, and Margaret embraced her preferences and did wonders with it. She gave us a very reasonable range of quotes depending on how much we wanted done. We had a few extra tasks for her as the wedding day approached, and she was happy to oblige, and the flowers on our wedding day turned out gorgeous! Thank you, Margaret!

    I wish I could give Margaret more than five stars! She provided exceptional service and quality for my wedding this past January - from beginning to end. She understood exactly the vision I had for the flowers at my wedding, and delivered beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, corsages, and so many other little details! She even added hand-dyed lace that she bought in Greece to our bouquets...it was amazing!

    On the day of the event, Margaret and her helpers were extremely flexible when our outdoor wedding turned into a very rainy day. The extra stress didn't seem to faze her; every time I saw her, she still had a smile on her face! The flowers were a huge hit and stood up in the stormy weather...people kept coming up to me and telling me how beautiful they were.

    I can't say enough good things about Margaret! Her quality of service was exceptional, and I would recommend her to anyone for their next event in Santa Barbara.

    Margaret Joan Florals

    As a little girl you always dream of your wedding, and I always had a certain idea of what my flowers would look like. I told Margaret what I wanted, and she gave me just that, and made it so gorgeous! I wanted something a little non-traditional, wild flowers, and lavender, and she made me the most beautiful bouquet that also smelled amazing!!
    Margaret also personally delivered my bouquet on my wedding day, and was so sweet and thoughtful by also including a hand written note congratulating me on my special day, and also detailing what flowers were in my bouquet.
    Would highly recommend!!!

    So many people came up to compliment me on our flowers at our wedding! Margaret specializes in local, seasonal flowers, which was just what I wanted, and she really took the time to understand my "wild garden" (with drought appropriate flowers) vision. The colors were gorgeous and everything really looked spectacular. We let people know they could take the centerpieces home and they were gone in a flash (I'd hope to have a few extra for myself! I guess I should have put them aside first!). Also, Margaret was really easy to work with and flexible to last minute requets, and her services are remarkably affordable for the Santa Barbara area. I am recommending her to all my friends!
