Megan M. 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!!! -

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.

Kimberly T. 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. -

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! -

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! -

Beautiful Bouquet
Alexa at Vanda Floral was excellent. My daughter requested a unique bouquet which featured green vegetables. We described our idea to Alexa and the bouquet she created was beautiful and beyond what we had imagined. Alexa also helped us design elegant, budget-friendly centerpieces which combined eucalyptus and olive stems with candles. I highly recommend Alexa and the team at Vanda. -

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. -

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! -

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! -

We absolutely loved our experience with Vanda Floral!
We used Vanda Floral for our wedding one year ago in Santa Rosa, CA. They were very professional & quick to respond to emails. We met with them in person once to go over our vision and likes/dislikes. They did an amazing job capturing our personalities in the flowers. They were absolutely gorgeous & we could not have been happier with their work. Highly recommend! -

Gorgeous flowers!
Vanda flowers did an absolutely beautiful job on the flowers for our wedding! I know literally nothing about flowers, so I just told them I was looking for bright wildflowers and they delivered! The flowers were absolutely stunning and I actually loved them so much more than any of the inspo pictures I had found when looking. They were very responsive when I had questions and I cannot recommend them highly enough! -

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! -

So thankful we hired Alexa & Vanda Floral to design our wedding flowers. We had to reschedule our wedding a few times due to the pandemic, but Alexa and her team were with us every step of the way and ultimately came through with truly breathtaking wedding day floral arrangements. They executed every detail on our list of requests and went above and beyond our expectations. 10/10 recommend Vanda Floral. -

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. -

Beautiful flowers
We worked with Vanda Floral on our August 2021 wedding, and couldn't have been happier with the experience.
They were so easy to work with. I saved a few photos on Pinterest, and they matched exactly that. They completely understood what I was looking for with very little effort on my part
Alexa, who I worked with, was super flexible and helpful. They worked to meet my budget, which was appreciated. I changed my order several times, and it was a breeze to do so
But mostly importantly, when I showed up to the wedding, I was truly in AWE. The flowers were so stunning and even better than I could have imagined! Could not have been happier! Thank you Vanda Floral. A total highlight of the wedding
Highly recommend for any floral needs. They did an amazing job on our event -

Joseph D. 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. -

Brought my wedding flower vision to life!
We had the BEST experience working with Millita, Bryce, Alexa and the whole Vanda Floral team. They are super nice and accommodating even when they’re absolutely slammed in the thick of wedding season, and they are absolute pros when it comes to making the wedding flowers of your dreams come to life. Their portfolio has a huge range of styles, and they were so attentive to working closely with us on exactly on our unique vision. They are also super responsive and flexible with making changes and updates, which was really reassuring throughout the process. Their prices are very transparent and reasonable. There were SO many flowers in my bouquet – I ended up getting it preserved and the woman who dried it kept remarking about how big the bouquet was!!
We had originally sent them a bunch of inspiration photos and when we went in to review a sample arrangement they absolutely knocked it out of the park. We made some very small changes and they were reflected perfectly on our wedding day. I literally shrieked multiple times when I saw the final bouquets and installations on the day. Everything was beautiful!
We got married at Deer Park Villa which is a naturally stunning, lush venue, and we were excited for the floral design to also feel natural, organic and integrated elegantly in the space. For the bouquets, centerpieces and boutonnieres we wanted lots of different textures, movement and tiny details. The team incorporated lots of different floral elements while still keeping it all feel coherent and consistent. And one of our favorite parts was the greenery that they installed on the tented roof where we had cocktail hour – it made the open-air porch feel even more intimate and elegant. We asked quite a few vendors about draping the greenery, and Vanda was by far the most laid-back and reasonable about making it happen!
We are so grateful for the Vanda Floral team for making our day even more beautiful and stress-free!

Beautiful beautiful wedding florals!!
I was soooo happy with my wedding florals and can't thank Alexa and Milita enough for really making my wedding floral vision come true. Alexa really listened to me and made many adjustments to the mock up in order for everything to turn out better than I had imagined. Vanda has a wonderful team and I can't thank them enough for being so accommodating especially while planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic, I would highly recommend them :) -

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! -

The Prettiest Flowers Ever
I am a visual person and had my wedding bouquet & florals in my head...and Vanda? Well, they helped bring that to life! These days, I feel not many brides go full color...and lots of it! We planned & planned and on the day of, my flowers brought tears to my eyes. Vanda exceeded my expectations with my arrangements. I loved our flowers so much that the morning after the wedding, we went back to the venue to collect all of the arrangements and brought them to our hotel room for the few extra days we were in Sonoma. And, family carried them back across the country to dry arrangements that can be cherished for years to come. Thank you so much for all of your help, patience, and amazing results! -
