    We love The Flower Story! Beautiful arrangements and easy to work with

    I absolutely loved working with Raluca and her team. I was having trouble really articulating what I wanted for the flowers for my wedding - so I sent Raluca a bunch of images with combos of things I liked/didn't and explained my ideal colors. A few days later she sent me back an amazing proposal and it was better than anything I imagined. She really understood my vision and then made it even better with her suggestions. My venue was a little plain so flowers were a very important part of my decorations and her arrangements really transformed the whole space.

    For our outdoor ceremony, she created a beautiful asymmetrical flower arch and she lined the aisle with gorgeous floor arrangements. She also had pedals all sprinkled down the aisle. The space looked beautiful and all 200 guests were seated and then the unthinkable happened, it started to rain. It only rained for about 45min total that day but that happened to be right when our ceremony was so the whole wedding had to move inside. Raluca and her team somehow transformed my dance floor into a make-shift aisle in less than 15 minutes. She had created a beautiful flower wall to go behind our sweetheart table so she turned that into our aisle backdrop and added the outdoor arrangements around it at various heights. She sprinkled more flower pedals down the aisle and while of course it wasn't my original vision of an outdoor wedding, she was able to still make it an amazing plan b. Her team acted so quickly and worked so hard to turn that around for us and we appreciated it so much.

    For our table arrangements she made me three different kinds to add some depth to the space and it really transformed the venue. There was also a Juliet balcony above the sweetheart table that she draped with greenery and flowers and it really added to the space. Raluca was so professional and responsive through the whole process and I would highly recommend her and her team!

    My beautiful wedding

    When we first met with Raluca we had no idea what we were looking for as far as flowers. She patiently showed us different pictures until we narrowed down what we liked. As we got closer to the wedding, we made several changes and she was very flexible. The flowers exceeded our expectations. We let our guests take the center piece arrangements after the reception and they were snatched up quickly.
    They were gorgeous! The bouquet and boutonnière were also perfect. I would highly recommend this company.

    Our September Wedding


    Raluca was SO easy to work with and she used what she learned about us and our style to make arrangements that fit us so perfectly. She also made the arrangements for my brothers wedding last August that were so beautiful! 10/10 would recommend!

    Raluca was an absolute pleasure to work with! Her talent to bring your wedding floral dreams to life is absolutely amazing! She was so easy to work with, was very responsive to emails, and was very flexible as well. On our wedding day she came on time, stayed all night to repurpose florals from the ceremony site the reception site and beautiful decor to setup on our sweetheart table. Although I am sure this was a long day of work for her she had a smile on her face every time I saw her! She truly loves what she does and you can see her passion in her beautiful work! Do yourself a favor and stop looking at other florist and hire The Flower Story Co! You will not be disappointed!!!!

    Raluca was one of my favorite vendors. I found her on instagram because I loved her work. I priced her out with other vendors and she was fairly priced. My decision to go with her was based solely on her photos of her work she posted on instagram and boy am I glad I went with her.

    There was only one time where she wasn't responsive but

    She did deliver on everything that I had asked of her. There was a minor problem that arise which was that she wasn't able to get peonies like I wanted for my bouquet, but I was fine with the replacement roses. My bouquet still came out beautifully. She did a phenomenal job! I was very pleased with her work. Every time I saw her at my wedding, she was busily working! She was on time and she did an exceptional job!

    I DIY'ed most of my decorations at my wedding and even almost decided on doing my own flowers. After thinking about
    it, I think flowers play a big role in tying all of the décor together and making it romantic and glamorous. I'm so glad I trusted Raluca doing my flowers. Looking back, there is no way I could've done what she did. Her flower making skills are to another level. I'm great at DIY'ing but she is a true professional at her trade. And the fact that she stayed throughout my whole wedding moving the flowers from ceremony to the reception, was great! Hindsight, I think I got a lot more than I paid for!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about The Flower Story. Three months before my wedding day, my original florist cancelled due to her declining health. I was scrambling around trying to find a new florist who could bring my specific vision to life while staying within the very small budget my previous florist was working with, and The Flower Story answered my prayers! She met with my then fiance and I very quickly and had all her questions, contracts, and examples perfectly organized. On the day of the wedding, she arrived and set everything up for me. I didn't have to worry about a thing! And my flowers were BEYOND GORGEOUS. They were Pinterest-level perfection! Even some of the men who attended the wedding exclaimed how beautiful they were. I would recommend this vendor to anyone who is looking to fulfill their wedding flower dreams in southern California.

    I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted for my florals so I gave the flower story a rough outline and told her I trust her to create something beautiful. Looking back on my wedding my florals were my favorite part about it. I loved them SO much.
    She exceeded every expectation of mine and I'm so grateful I trusted her!

    Before meeting with Raluca of The Flower Story Co., all I had was a Pinterest board of creative chaos. During our meeting, Raluca was able to see a vision within this creative chaos, asking all the questions necessary in putting together a cohesive plan in bringing my Pinterest story board to life. I was a little nervous before meeting with her because I didn't know what to expect from a floral vendor, but Raluca was wonderful and so professional in going over every detail, even down to the corsages my mom and fiancé's mom would be wearing! She put my fiancé (yes, he was there!) and I at ease with any questions we had or concerns about our big day. One thing I really liked was she made sure to ask what flowers are our favorite and which ones we really wanted in our wedding.

    In every interaction before our meeting, Raluca was always on top of making sure she responded to any messages sent in addition to providing any information we needed to the best of her ability. We were recommended to her by a few couples we know as friends, and were privileged to attend their weddings as well, and saw firsthand the beautiful floral arrangements Raluca created uniquely for each couple.

    We're so excited to see what she will do for our day!

    Raluca and The Flower Story were fantastic! My husband and I loved all the floral arrangements and so did our guests. Looking back on our photos, they wouldn't be as show-stopping if we didn't have such amazing flowers.

    The Flower Story Co. was one of our favorite wedding vendors! She listened to what I wanted and asked a lot of questions. She assisted me in picking details for the wedding, not only making our amazing flowers. She kept her calm even when things got stressful. She worked well with our budge. As far as the flower work, it was one of the highlights of the wedding. They say you cannot go cheap on photography, makeup and flowers.
    As far as the flowers themselves, they were incredible! One of the most beautiful arrangements I've ever seen. Flowers were even places on our white marquee "LOVE" letters. I love Raluca's eye for details. Flowers were fresh and beautifully made. I had people coming to ask who was my florist because these were breath taking. I can't wait to use The Flower Company for future services.
    If you want some flexible, calm, timely and an eye for design, book this florist. You won't regret your choice.

    Undeniably, the best floral designers!!! The Flower Story truly made our wedding day an unforgettable experience. Raluca and her staff genuinely have a gift to create BEAUTIFUL and unique works of art with superb customer service. Upon meeting Raluca, we can honestly say that we were instantly comfortable with her. Not only is she genuine, warm, and personable, her professionalism and passion for her work is strongly evident. She has a unique ability to offer her professional opinion and own creative ideas all while still keeping within the realm of our vision and respecting our likes and dislikes. When we booked with Raluca, we knew that we would get nothing short of spectacular and what we actually got, wholly exceeded anything that we ever could have envisioned.
    Our entire venue was filled with some of the most beautiful floral arrangements that we have ever seen. We think this really speaks to the high quality that Raluca ensures her company delivers. From the bouquets to the centerpieces to the flower girl baskets, everything was beautiful and perfect in its own way. The florals transformed the botanical garden venue into a classy, elegant, yet whimsical fairytale-like space all at the same time. We were very specific, and admittedly picky, about the blush of our color palette and throughout consultations, Raluca made sure that she knew what we meant. And, of course, all the floral arrangements were the exact color that we wanted.
    We could go on and on about how wonderful Raluca and her staff are, but we think the other reviews are evidence enough that if you want the best of the best, contact Raluca Marza. Thank you, Raluca!!!
