Harmony B. Sent on 07/14/2022Beautiful flowers - Couldn’t be happier
We hired Jessica for our wedding before the pandemic derailed our original plans. She was flexible in accommodating our rescheduled date and she even did a single bouquet for me when we decided to do a small legal ceremony during lockdown. When our wedding day finally arrived, the flowers were the star of the show! We got so many compliments on them, including from a guest who operates a flower farm. They made our wedding so dreamy and we loved everything about them. Jessica is very easy to work with and her work is as good if not better than florists charging way more for the same service in the area. Whole heartedly recommend!SWD Floral's reply:
Harmony! I’m so glad you and Andy finally got to do you big day right and I’m honored to have been a part of BOTH! Best wishes for many happy years of wedded bliss. Cheers! -

WOW! That is the best word I can use to describe Jessica's work. I don't know anything about flowers so I fully left everything in her hands. I had a brewery wedding with grey and orange as my colors. She made the most beautiful orange bouquets and stunning hop pilsner centerpieces. She even stayed through my ceremony to help flip the space for the reception. She has a love for flowers that can't be beat. I highly recommend Jessica (SWD Floral) to any bride. You won't be disappointed.SWD Floral's reply:
Thank you Carly! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your big day. I’m even more thankful that we can continue to work together through OCBSA! -

Kellie Sent on 03/12/2018What to write about a florist who is literally perfect? Jessica is a bride's dream florist. She is beyond helpful, has beautiful taste and is so fun to work with! She is also an animal lover like us and we bonded very quickly over that! When we had our first meeting to talk floral designs for our Labor Day weekend wedding, she listened intently to what we like, what we prefer to avoid (my husband didn't want anything "pokey" and that became a running inside joke) and also listened and was very conscious about our budget. She never told us no, instead she provided options based on our budget. When we arrived at our venue the day of our wedding, we were blown away with what she had created! She not only handled all of the arrangements, she also put together our Chuppah and draped all of the fabric.
My bouquet was breathtaking and my bridesmaids' bouquets matched perfectly. Not only was she so much fun throughout but she also remained very professional - even when she had to build large arrangements in 100 degree weather. We got married this past LDW at the Ebell in Long Beach. She has become a great friend and we still talk a lot!
We highly recommend Jessica and the SWD team for all your floral and design needs! -

Brides - with a million things on your plate and so many wedding florists to choose from, I wouldn’t waste my time with SWD Floral. My experience with Jessica Westervelt was a poor one. On my wedding day, she walked into my dressing room without introducing herself and rudely asked, “Where do you want these?” referring to my bouquets. This was a very different attitude than when I had corresponded with her leading up to the wedding day. When I saw the bouquets, my heart sank because they were not the right color pink I wanted. I was still getting ready and with my ceremony only 2 hours away, I decided not to say anything since there wasn’t enough time to get new flowers and I had enough on my plate, so I politely told her they looked nice. Jessica did not have a friendly demeanor throughout my wedding day and that carried over into afterwards. When I returned from my Honeymoon, I reached out to Jessica to let her know I was disappointed in the flowers and I requested a partial refund. Instead of reaching out to me via phone to discuss my concerns and diffuse the situation, she escalated it by exchanging emails in which she was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Eventually, we settled on her refunding me for my bouquet since I had specifically asked for roses and peonies only in my bouquet, but Jessica took the liberty of adding ranunculus as well which I had specifically asked her not to do prior to the wedding. Jessica does offer to complete a mock-up centerpiece prior to the wedding for an additional cost, but it was absurdly overpriced, so I declined since my colors of white and light pink were very straight forward (or so I thought), I had already sent her several photos and shared my Pinterest board with her to show her examples of the light pink color I wanted, and I had told her my vision via our many phone/email conversations prior to the wedding day. I do not intend to be malicious and I struggled with whether I should post a negative review or not, but I wish I would have seen a review like this when initially shopping for a florist and this whole experience could have been avoided. The flowers were one of the most meaningful decorations for me, not to mention they were the most expensive item of my wedding aside from the venue. I hope this review helps a Bride To Be avoid a similar unpleasant experience on your wedding day.SWD Floral's reply:
Hi Alison, this is disheartening to see. I think you made a beautiful bride with beautiful flowers. I wish you and your husband many years of wedded bliss!
