Beautiful flowers!

Jeannette is amazing! I had a very particular vision for my bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages. I talked with some florists who literally told me no. I did not want ANY roses in my wedding and some places refused. I was surprised that as a paying customer I was getting declined. Then I called mission florist and they made sure to figure out exactly what I wanted. And ABSOLUTELY delivered. My flowers were perfect. So beautiful. I am so happy I went with them. Thank you!

Beautiful Bouquets

The Florals were exactly how I imagined them to be. They incorporated the “Hidden Mickey and Minnie” theme with patriotism and did so with such an elegance as to not appear too over the top. They match the ribbon to exactly the colors of the wedding as well. I was very happy with all of the arrangements and bouquets.

I highly recommend

My wedding would have not been as beautiful as it was if it wasn't for Riverside Mission Florist. Elizabeth was amazing and she made my vision come to life. I just told her the theme, colors, and ideas I was looking for and she ran with it and did not disappoint at all. I was amazed at how beautiful the flowers and arrangements come out. I highly recommend RMF to anyone and everyone.

We loved working with Elizabeth for our wedding. She was always incredibly sweet and patient. She is definitely an artist who is knowledgeable, professional and reliable. I would bring her a frenzied amount of ideas and she somehow would make sense of it and provided me with the perfect flower arrangements, bouquets etc. for our wedding. She was worth every penny.

Elizabeth at Riverside Mission Florist is an artist! She created my vision in flowers for an Alice In Wonderland themed wedding at the Mission Inn. I was in luck as all of the flowers I wanted, including peonies, were in season. The floral arrangements were colorful, elegant, and a good size. The planning process was effortless; she knew what I wanted more than I did.

I came to Riverside Mission Florist just a little before 30 days of my event. And Elizabeth meet with me, my husband, and coordinator and the same day gave us exactly what we envisioned and wanted. The day of the event we my center pieces was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't have been more happier. Thank you so much!

Elizabeth and her team at Riverside Mission Florist are wonderful. They were incredibly accommodating of my husband's and my budget, while still delivering gorgeous flowers for our wedding. We received so many compliments over the course of the evening, and our guests were thrilled to find out they would be able to take such beautiful centerpieces home with them. Elizabeth and her team really went above and beyond with my bridal bouquet, in particular. I gave them a general idea of what I was thinking (fairly traditional, but not all white), and they created a bouquet that was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, complete with an heirloom flower from my grandmother's wedding dress in the center. Elizabeth responded to all emails quickly and thoroughly. She took her time with me in discussing everything from colors, to number of centerpieces, to budget. She is everything you could possibly want in a wedding florist, and I can't recommend her more highly.

Elizabeth was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the beginning consult to when we received the flowers on my wedding day. They delivered exactly what had been discussed and requested. They were on time, responsive, and friendly. I had been hesitant originality to get a price quote for flowers from them because I feared they may be out of my price range but Elizabeth made sure to work within the budget I had and delivered with more than I expected! Thank you so much!

We hired the Mission Inn Florist for our wedding at the Mission Inn in Riverside and we couldn't be happier with their attentive services, beautiful work, and fair prices. I think the florist was the easiest part of this entire wedding planning process. Elizabeth was kind, helpful, and knows her stuff! She arranged everything, put together a spreadsheet for me, I paid, and they showed up at the hotel with tons of gorgeous flawless arrangements right on time and as planned. I couldn't be happier with their services and would recommend them to anyone, especially anyone getting married at the Mission Inn. Awesome work!

It was such a pleasure working with Elizabeth at Riverside Mission Florist! She was SO helpful when it came to picking out my flowers. I went in with absolutely no idea what I wanted and Elizabeth took one look at a picture of my dress and immediately had a vision of what I needed and would LOVE! When I saw the flowers delivered on my wedding day, I wanted to just cry because they were absolutely gorgeous! They were prettier than I thought was possible! I would definitely recommend this company for any and every occasion, especially if you are like me and have no idea where to start!

Prior to choosing riverside mission florist we had a bad experience with our florist but Elizabeth here at riverside mission florist turned that all around for us. I could not have been more happy with how things turned out. She is very friendly and knows exactly what she's talking about with giving us such great ideas. The roses she got for our wedding were the most beautiful roses and that opened up perfectly. She decorated our wedding exactly how we wanted it and more. I highly recommend their services !!

Riverside Mission Florist (one of my venue's preferred vendors) was recommended to me by another florist I was contemplating working with (who was not on the preferred vendor list), and I am so grateful for the recommendation. Elizabeth Godfrey is a soft spoken magic maker.

During our initial consultation, Elizabeth showed me images of her work not shown on her website and I was enthralled. Later, I teased her and told her she needed to give her website some pazzazz because it doesn't do her work justice. I came to her with a photograph of a bouquet I saw at a bridal show. Based on that photo, we were able to further develop ideas for the rest of my floral. All of my floral was GORGEOUS, but when I look at photos of my bouquet...I simply stare in awe. I didn't preserve the flowers from the bouquet but I did keep the extras that made the bouquet "pop".

The Riverside Mission Florist team delivered my flowers to the venue's bridal room. I didn't witness the delivery to the chapel or dining room, but when I arrived in both places...it was all done beautifully. They were like elves working their magic. I was beyond happy with the results and proud to support a local vendor.

Flowers were one thing that I was very picky about. For my wedding at the Riverside Mission Inn, I wanted everything to be very dark; Elizabeth help create that image without being too tacky or over the top gothic. Many of the flowers that I liked were out of season, but she put together amazing bouquets which blended dark flowers along with some other flowers that evened out the darkness. They also provided the flowers for my wedding cake and the candles for the ceremony. Everything she provided came out perfect. She was very reasonably priced and I received so many compliments from all of my guests.

I pride myself on trying to be a very laid back bride during the whole planning process and when I had my meeting with Elizabeth from Riverside Mission Florist I explained to her what my vision was and what budget I had to work with. She then sat with me and showed me several photographs that represented pieces of what I was looking for. She helped me narrow down my vision into something that was tangible and budget-friendly. On the day of the wedding, to be honest, I didn't know what to expect because it had been so long since my planning meeting. When I arrived at the venue, the ceremony was already decorated with all of the floral arrangements and my personal flowers were waiting for me. I received so many compliments on how beautiful all of the flowers were and my bridesmaids were raving about their bouquets. My bouquet was absolutely stunning and my only wish was that they would never wilt!! Riverside Mission Florist was so flexible with what we were looking for and were always kind and patient when answering any questions we had. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful florist!!

This florist was so easy to work with. We had no idea of the kind of flowers we wanted--just a color-- and they were able to provide us with beautiful centerpieces for our wedding reception based on just an idea. They also provided fresh flowers for our cake and worked with the cake caterer to ensure a pleasing display. We had many comments about how beautiful our centerpieces were and they stayed fresh for quite a long time after our event.

Riverside Mission Florist were very easy to work with and made necessary adjustments as wedding planning progressed. Flowers were fresh and decorative. Their decoration of portable chuppah changed it from an imperfect canopy into something beautiful. Flowers were perfect except for not having as many blue flowers as bride desired.

Elizabeth is AMAZING!!!!

My wedding was so beautiful thanks to the gorgeous flowers! She did exactly what I asked for! The only disappointment was that I wanted my bouquet pretty big, and I felt it was a little small. My great-grandma's buckles that were on the front of my bouquet started to fall off midway which I'm a bit sad about. They look crooked in most of the pictures. They should have been wrapped better.

I met with her at least 5 times, and she is so kind and patient and really listens to what you want, but keeps in mind what you can afford.

I also ordered my table linens and napkins from her, and they were beautiful.

This company is brilliantly talented and highly recommended!

Beautiful but not quite what I had in mind

My flowers came out beautiful... though I specifically said light blue hydrangea not sky blue and they sprayed my hydrangea sky blue which totally didn't match the rest of my wedding colors. If it weren't for that the flowers would've been perfect.

I want to be 100% honest, in order to help other potential customers. Leading up to the wedding and working with Elizabeth was not perfect, we had some pretty big miscomunications about the design. In the end she did nail my vision which was a relief. She does very good work and a really afforadable price. All in all I would recommend them because the end result is beautiful.

Elizabeth was a joy to work with. We went to Cupid's Arrow and were told that there was no such thing as a champagne-colored rose. Well, as soon as we sat down with Elizabeth at Riverside Mission Florist and told her one of our colors was champagne, she pulled out a champagne rose to show us! We were so thrilled and impressed with her floral knowledge and expertise! Later, we had to make a last minute change because of some unforeseen cancellations, and unfortunately, Elizabeth forgot 2 of our centerpieces on wedding day. However, the flowers we did have were absolutely beautiful (and they smelled good too!). When we got back from our honeymoon, Elizabeth apologized profusely for the mistake and refunded our money immediately for the missing pieces. Even with that snafu, we were thrilled with the quality and the beauty of our bouquets and centerpieces.

I was arranging my wedding from out of town, using my Mom as proxy. I had a good vision of what I wanted in my flower bouquet, and mission florist worked hard to give me what I wanted. In the end, I got ALMOST what I asked for-- I really wanted no fake flowers in my bouquet, and when I saw it on the day of my wedding, there were definitely fake flowers. I still liked the bouquet, but I was mildly disappointed. If I had to go back and do it again, I might be more insistent about no fake flowers (I'd even have been fine with a thinner bouquet), but I'd probably stick with this florist. The bouquet was pretty and a few extra flowers were thrown in for free (flower wands for the flower girls), so overall it was a good experience...
