Joy Sent on 01/05/2025Beautiful Winery Flowers!
Alexa was so wonderful to work with! I knew nothing about flowers before our call and had a lot of questions about the different floral arrangement possibilities, bouquet styles, and offerings. Alexa was so patient, showing me example photos from different past weddings and giving great suggestions on how we could repurpose ceremony flowers to decorate the reception. She was super communicative and responsive, meticulously itemizing everything so that there were no surprises or hidden costs. Our flowers were STUNNING! Vanda nailed the color scheme and every single arrangement complimented the decor around them. We got so many compliments on our florals! They became some of our favorite details in the whole wedding. We highly recommend Vanda & Alexa! -

Emily Sent on 03/04/2024What Luck!
My husband and I were convinced that we were going to create our own flower arrangements to save money. We visited the SF Flower Market, did some extensive Googling, and bought a whole bunch of florist supplies. A month before the wedding day, the panic set in. We were way in over our head and we knew it. What's worse, we knew that all of the nearby shops would surely be booked out.
Vanda Floral Design was on our vendor's list of recommended florists. We decided to stop by their Petaluma storefront while we were on an errand up north. We thought, at the very least, maybe they'd be able to give us some recommendations for creating and installing our own arrangements. We entered the shop drenched in anxiety; we weren't even sure how to put our desires into words. All we had was a Pinterest album with ~5 "we like these colors and textures, but don't even know what these flowers are called" reference images. The folks behind the counter were friendly and radiated relaxed energy. They gave us some of their portfolio books to look over so that we could see the different categories and intensity of arrangements that were out there. We liked what we saw and sheepishly asked if they were available on our wedding day. No, they weren't available for on site assistance, BUT they could totally fill an order for pickup. Decorating a ceremony arch? No big deal; all you do is secure some pre-arranged oasis blocks. Boutonnieres and bouquets? No big deal; they could totally put those together for us. Loose greens for the sweetheart table? Yup, they knew exactly what we were talking about. And, as far as flower selection went, sending along those ~5 Pinterest reference photos was more than sufficient.
It was all too easy, I thought. Surely something would go wrong with the pick-up and self-installation process. But, on the day of the wedding, I swear, all of the floral elements were PERFECT. They had taken our inspiration images and executed them so well that I personally loved the execution more than the inspiration. And the self-installation, as far as I know, was totally feasible (shout out to our Day Of Coordinator for assisting with that one).
I am so, so, SO happy that we decided to seek out professional assistance instead of handling the arrangements ourselves. And I feel so incredibly lucky that Vanda Floral Design had the capacity to assist us. I would highly recommend their services, tight budget or not.

Megan Sent on 10/30/2023Thank you, Vanda Floral Design!!
I reached out to Vanda Floral Design who was recommended to us by our coordinator. Alexa got back to me about my vision and sent a full description for each itemized floral item on our invoice so I had a very good idea of how everything would look. She was so responsive every time I had questions or needed an adjustment. The floral looked so incredible and we are so happy with their service!! -

Vanda Floral was the best florist we could have ever hoped for during our wedding! The flowers were absolutely stunning. It was truly a magical weekend and the floral arrangements just added to the beauty of the day! We HIGHLY recommend Vanda to anyone in the Napa and Sonoma areas looking for a florist for their wedding! Thanks Vanda and Alexa!!! -

Kimberly Sent on 05/20/2023Gorgeous florals + communicative team
One of my favorite elements of our wedding day were the florals, all thanks to the beautiful work by Vanda. Our venue was outdoors and already had beautiful greenery, but Vanda really made everything pop and stand out so beautifully, and made a beautiful space even more gorgeous. I absolutely loved my bridal bouquet, I am still thinking about it weeks later! Vanda was also more affordable when I was comparing quotes from different florists, and they absolutely knocked it out the park. -

Emily Sent on 04/27/2023Beautiful Colors, Fresh Flowers, Long Lasting!
Vanda did such an amazing job on our bridal bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages! They were incredibly easy to work with and were able to take my vague ideas and bring them to reality! All of the bouquets were hand tied with beautiful pearl accents. I wanted simple, hand tied, with colors to match our pallet. Everything they delivered was better than I had ever imagined and truly tied everything together! -

Jordan Sent on 10/27/2022Gorgeous wedding florals!
I did a ton of research on florists in the Napa area and was so impressed with Vanda floral from the very beginning! I worked with Alexa and she was so detail oriented and super helpful in coming up with suggestions to fit within my budget and how to make the impact I was looking to make. I absolutely was blown away by all of the florals on my wedding day. We had to make some pivots due to rain but I love how everything turned out and was so appreciative Alexa was able to make my vision come to life. My bouquet was the most beautiful arrangement I have ever seen and truly received so many compliments on how beautiful it was! I highly recommend working with Vanda Floral! -

Ashley Sent on 09/10/2022Beautiful, professional and affordable
Serious a winning combo. I wanted my wedding to be full of flowers. I got what I wanted without spending $10k. That’s what some people quoted me and what some guests estimated I spent on flowers.
Nope, I just worked with Vanda! I came in with PowerPoints and Pinterest boards and they worked with me to bring cost down but still get what I wanted - whimsical, organic, fairytale garden wedding vibes! Communication was super easy and very timely as well.
My medium bouquet was huge, my “low” centerpiece was full of blooms and greens and my aisle flowers were huge! Honestly came under DIY and faux options. -

Emily Sent on 08/08/2022Working with Alexa at Vanda was a dream!
Alexa helped us design and execute the florals for our wedding in July 2022. I had a specific vision and she was patient in answering all my questions and going over the design with me multiple times to make sure I wouldn't be stressed leading up to the wedding day. On the wedding day I was blown away with the florals and was so happy with how they turned out! -

Megan Sent on 08/07/2022Worth every penny
Wedding flowers can be so expensive, but Vanda provides an incredible service at a great cost. I would recommend them to any bride in Sonoma. From the bouquets to the centerpieces, they helped deliver on the dreamy summer wedding that we hoped for! -

Michelle Sent on 03/14/2022Wedding florals of our dreams!
We hired Vanda Florals for our wedding in wine country, and could not have been happier with the experience. We were going back and forth between different color schemes and floral arrangements, and Alexa was wonderful (and patient!) about putting together different proposals and visuals to help bring our descriptions to life. When we had to move our wedding indoors due to a massive storm, Vanda was great at accommodating last minute changes, and even offered additional decor to help bring our original ‘outdoor’ vision in. The floral arrangements turned out stunning, and totally captured our vision. We got so many compliments on how everything turned out, and the guests were beyond excited to take home some of the arrangements. I’ve already asked my husband if we can go back to the flower shop for our anniversary because we loved their arrangements that much! -

Joseph Sent on 01/31/2022Beautiful flowers, highly recommend!
Vanda Floral was an amazing wedding florist. Their staff is so kind and responsive, and they transformed our ambiguous ideas into just what we imagined. We postponed our wedding a year due to the pandemic, and Vanda was very open to shifting the color palette and overall feel of our florals after our tastes evolved during that time. They’re an extremely experienced group of folks, and throughout our wedding planning, we always felt like Vanda was on top of things. That’s the best thing you can ask for in a wedding vendor!
We highly recommend working with Vanda. -

Kristin Sent on 01/14/2022Such a great experience!!!
Vanda did a great job with our wedding flowers! Alexa was a wonderful partner throughout the whole process and I very much appreciated her attention to detail. In the end, our flowers had all the colors, variety, and movement that I was hoping for!
I also had a number of very specific requests during the discussion phase, none of which were overlooked by Vanda. For example, I had wanted a protea in my bouquet but only one that was partially open so as not to dominate the bouquet - that is exactly what they gave me! I had wanted sprigs of olive to be added to the cloches housing our table numbers - on the day, there they were! My mom had only wanted certain colors in her corsage - Vanda delivered! Even more, I had actually sourced garlands from another vendor and asked if Vanda could add florals in and move them from the ceremony site to our dinner tables. Once situated for dinner, I asked if they could then add extra greenery to the ends so it looked like the garlands cascaded onto the floor from the tables - they were more than happy to oblige even though it meant staying later and repurposing the garlands! Additionally, copper was one of our wedding colors so I asked them to wrap the bridesmaid bouquets and boutonnieres in copper wire - they did so but took it a step further by using copper wire when attaching arrangements to chairs and other fixtures. It was something I didn't even think to ask, but they did it anyway and went above and beyond to keep everything cohesive!
I feel like there were so many opportunities for mistakes to be made or for things to get missed, but Alexa and Vanda didn't miss a step! Trust me, on your day, it's so helpful to have experienced vendors you can count on! I was so happy to have Vanda on my team and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality florals with great customer service. -

Kathleen Sent on 10/31/2021Brought our dreams to life!
Working with Alexa and the Vanda team was such a great experience. I had to postpone my wedding an entire year and so actually planned for 2 years and went back and forth on colors and floral designs. Alexa was super patient with me and provided her guidance and perspective. It was really helpful to get her opinion on florals, designs, alternative options, what's in season, etc. It felt like a true working partnership!
And on the day of my wedding, the floral designs and details were so incredible and exactly what I had envisioned in my head…but even better! The arch took my breath away and our guests could not stop talking about it! Even the event manager at our venue said it was one of the more magical designs she had seen.
In addition to that, Vanda is super cost effective. I felt that Alexa didn't try to upsell me or push anything on me. When I gave her my budget and what I was looking for, she worked with me and even suggested several different options to stay within my budget. Compared to other florists, Vanda was very approachable and reasonable.
Thank you Alexa and Vanda for bringing our dream to life for our wedding! -

Shannon Sent on 10/27/2021Beautiful!
My husband and I had a budget for wedding florals and Vanda was able to accommodate and work with our budget but still deliver beautiful flowers. We decided to add extra centerpieces and floral arrangements at the end and boyyyyy it was worth it!
Flowers were so fresh and the colors were beautiful. Definitely changed the vibe for our entire wedding. Thank you for making our dreams come true! -

So thankful we hired Alexa & Vanda Floral to design our wedding flowers.

They executed every detail on our list of requests and went above and beyond our expectations. 10/10 recommend Vanda Floral. -

Vanda Floral took care of the flowers for my wedding at the Log Cabin in San Francisco and they absolutely blew me away. I’ve worked with Vanda on other events so I already knew what a fantastic job they do. What they did with the fireplace mantle was absolutely stunning. -

Bryn Sent on 10/06/2019Our dream florist!
From the get-go, working with Bryce and the team at Vanda was absolute perfection. Knowing that value for the price was important when it came to flowers, we couldn't be more pleased with what the team at Vanda was able to accomplish. I could not have imagined a more perfect wedding bouquet, Bryce took careful note of my love of gardenias and incorporated them into my arrangement -- I made everyone I could find smell it! The thought and care that went into the team's work was truly impeccable and we could not have been more pleased with their professionalism and attention to detail. -

Working with Vanda was so easy. Met with them once and got my vision immediately. They also worked with me on rearranging the budget based on what was important to me and I really appreciated it.
Everyone complimented the flowers, couldn’t have asked for a better company! -
![Stephanie]()
Stephanie Sent on 08/02/2016I was so pleased that we ended up booking Vanda Floral for our wedding day. I am from Petaluma, and my mother actually used Vanda Floral to make my graduation lei back when I was in high school (2006), so when it came time to start looking for a florist, she remembered Vanda Floral. We had a couple of family friends in the area who had already gotten married, and all of them used and recommended Vanda Floral for our wedding day. I was only looking for a florist to do mine and my bridesmaids' bouquets, so I began emailing with Milita and then we met in person to talk about what I envisioned for the wedding day. My mother would go in and talk with Bryce too, and both Bryce and Milita were helpful and sweet. Our bouquets turned out to be exactly how I wanted them to look, and we had so many compliments from our guests at our wedding on them. Thank you, Vanda Floral, for making our beautiful bouquets. We would highly recommend Vanda Floral to anyone! -
![Nikki]()
Nikki Sent on 11/06/2015GORGEOUS! The flowers Vanda did for us were amazing. The only direction I really had to give Bryce was not to use too many traditional roses, a color scheme, and a few photos of flowers I liked. The centerpieces he delivered were spectacular, and we received so many compliments on them, and guests were able to take them home at the end of the night. My and my bridesmaids' bouquets were so beautiful - exactly what I wanted. The boutonnieres for the guys were succulents with some lavender (?) flowers and everyone loved them. Everything was delivered and set up beautifully. Bryce was flexible with me on having to add and take away tables for the flower order as well, based on our fluctuating guest numbers. I highly recommend working with Vanda! -

Jacquelyn Sent on 01/04/2015We worked with Bryce for the floral and design for our wedding, and we could not have been more pleased. The theme for our wedding was modern vintage, and Bryce made sure that every last detail fit within our theme and added to the overall picture. Of course, the flowers were beautiful, but the arrangements, the vases, and the placement of everything looked truly perfect. Vanda Floral is professional and great to work with. I highly recommend them for any occasion! -

Shawna Sent on 07/19/2013Bryce with Vanda Floral was great to work with. I described to him what i wanted for flowers and how I wanted simple but elegant, and he provided just that. The flowers were so beautiful and elegant. The arrangements on the tables and chairs were gorgeous. I was so happy. -
![User987570]()
User987570 Sent on 07/21/2012The job Vanda floral did for my wedding was UNBELIEVABLE! Not only was I planning a destination wedding (at the Silverado Resort in Napa) from Daytona Beach Florida at a place I had never seen but I also know NOTHING about flowers! I could hardly tell Bryce examples when he wanted to know what type of flowers I liked. Vanda was listed as one of my venus preferred vendors so I reached out to Bryce through email, gave him my budget, my colors, and sent pictures I found online of flower arrangements I liked. Bryce was great! He got back to me after every e-mail in a couple of days, put together a contract for me, and let me shift stuff around 2 weeks before with no problem. My sister is getting married in October and after seeing my flowers at the wedding she asked me how much I spent on my flowers and she was really surprised that it was so much less than she would have guessed!! I'm not sure how much flowers are suppose to cost but I felt like it was very reasonable, and worth every penny!!
The day of the wedding I couldn't believe how GORGEOUS my flowers were!! How he put together such perfect arrangements from a few pictures and e-mails, I'm not sure but they were absolutly BEAUTIFUL! I don't know if I've ever commented on flowers at a wedding I've been to but I got so many compliments about mine!
After a wedding it's easy to look back and think where you would have cut cost to save money.... I would say 100% I wouldn't change a THING about my flowers!
THANKS BRYCE!!
