    Wedding floral dreams come true!

    Melissa is absolutely amazing! I had a specific vision for the feel of our florals and had planned every detail in my mind and just based on a few Pinterest pins Melissa was able to deliver EXACTLY what I wanted. I gave her my initial ideas and she came back with a game plan and a list of specific florals and greenery which matched just what I wanted used. I felt at ease asking her to make little changes and updates as the day grew closer and even on the big day itself she was quick and more importantly happy to make the few small changes I decided last minute. Melissa was a pleasure to work with every step of the way and she worked with our budget to make all my wedding floral dreams come true! She is the truly the best!

    Melissa is AMAZING!!

    The moment I started to look for a florist, I was worried because I had no idea what to expect and I only knew that my favorite color was purple and Sunflowers are my favorite flower…

    With that being said, when I reached out Melissa she immediately responded and we chatted almost immediately after that. Even telling her what little info I knew I wanted, she took my vision and created arrangement better than I could ever of imagined myself. She was so easy to talk to and knew so much!

    Every idea I had she listened, ever concern I had she listened. Her day of execution was FLAWLESS.

    Melissa is THE go to florist in San Diego area!!
    Thank you so much Melissa!! You truly helped make our day a dream!!

    GORGEOUS florals for a reasonable price!!!

    Finding a wedding florist was the hardest vendor for me because most of the quotes I received were way out of our budget. We had pretty much decided that we were going to DIY our table flowers by just doing bud vases and find a florist to do the specialty flowers (bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, etc). When I had my first phone call with Melissa, she gave me so many options for how to utilize her services! It was such a customizable experience. I appreciated her flexibility and expertise through the whole process. She was very communicative and very transparent with her pricing. We ended up having Melissa do all of our flowers and we are so happy we did. Not only did it save us a ton of stress from DIYing some of the florals, her arrangements were GORGEOUS. Like show stopping gorgeous. Above and beyond what I ever could’ve imagined for our wedding day. We did not have a ton of decorations at our wedding but Melissa’s beautiful work made everything come together! Thank you so much Melissa!!

    Gorgeous flowers!

    Our wedding flowers were so beautiful! My husband and I had a large-ish wedding party; Melissa created unique bouquets for each of my bridesmaids and boutonnieres to match help bring the look together. My bridal bouquet was unique and exactly what I imagined. Melissa also included flowers for our cake; she even placed them on our cake. She was the easiest vendor we had and made the look of our wedding come together so well. I would recommend Melissa to my best friends. Thank you, Melissa. We appreciate you!

    Melissa is amazing and her arrangements are stunning!

    I cannot say enough about how amazing it was to work with Melissa. Our wedding was postponed twice due to covid (read 3 wedding dates) and she was professional, communicative, and flexible throughout. This helped the transition of postponing the wedding less stressful. She was reasonably priced and the arrangements were even better than I imagined!! I don't know the types of flowers so I just sent pictures to Melissa about what I liked and she nailed the arrangements. We finally had our wedding on 4/16/22 and myself, the wedding crew, and our guests could not get over how beautiful everything looked. If we had to choose a florist again I would 1000% go back to Melissa. Thanks so much Melissa for turning our wedding dream into a reality!

    Wonderful and beautiful flowers!!

    Melissa was so wonderful!!! I told her what I was looking for and she wrote up a design and had very good descriptions and pictures of everything. I had to postpone 3 times because of covid and she was very flexible.
    My flowers and decor on my wedding day were everything I had hoped it would be. It was perfect and I definitely recommend her!!

    Amazing!!!

    Melissa was an absolute joy to work with! She was very professional, welcoming, thoroughly knowledgeable about flowers and design, and very communicative and flexible! We had to change our wedding date several times due to COVID and she was so flexible and understanding. And her flowers were GORGEOUS!!!!! 😍 They stayed fresh and beautiful all day and just brought the wedding together :) She is fantastic! If your need flowers for any occasion, choose her!!!!!!!:)

    Could not have asked for more!!!

    Melissa was so incredible! The flowers were gorgeous beyond my wildest dreams. The cross and wedding doors were lovely. I wanted colorful wildflowers that would match an outdoorsy wedding and they were stunning. The bouquets were so large, full and beautiful. Her pricing is so good for what she gives you! She is so kind! I am so thankful!

    Beautifully Arranged Flowers

    Melissa did a great job with the floral arrangements. My bouquet turned out exactly how i wanted it. She meticulously went through what type of look I was trying to achieve with the bouquet and nailed it! She was flexible with the amount of flowers needed & date/time when my "normal" ceremony turned into a last minute "mini" ceremony due to the pandemic. She made sure the flowers were fresh by picking them up the morning of our ceremony; turned out beautifully. The floral arrangements were the last touch we needed to complete our change of plans. I highly recommend Melissa as a florist! Thank you Melissa!

    Beautifully executed our vision. Gorgeous

    Flowers by Melissa did a beautiful job executing our vision. Our venue was cancelled last minute and we had to change our layout completely, Melissa was amazing. She was flexible, quick to respond, and very understanding of the circumstances. Everything went off without a hitch.

    Wedding flowers

    I can not say enough great things about Melissa. I met her at a San Diego bridal bazaar and she gave an excellent cost for my wedding on Sept. 1st. The flowers including bouquets, flower crown, etc. were absolutely gorgeous and she even made them with succulents! The flowers added an absolute gorgeous touch to our wedding. Can't thank her enough!

    Amazing flowers at a shockingly reasonable price!

    Melissa was SO easy to work with and provided us with gorgeous flowers for our wedding. She was super flexible in her delivery schedule day-of when we had to make some last-minute adjustments, and her rates were unbeatable compared to all of the other florists we looked at. We couldn't have picked a better vendor and will certainly be recommending her to all of our friends!

    Pure Bliss

    Melissa was such a pleasure to work with. I met her at a bridal bazaar at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and instantly fell in love with her work. Her prices were very reasonable and her work was absolutely stunning! She worked with all my ridiculous requests and was always there to answer my questions and provide suggestions. The flowers at my wedding matched my vision perfectly, like to the T. They were so beautiful and vibrant, they smelled amazing and looked so healthy! Everything was delivered and set up in perfect accordance to our schedule. She also set up the fabric for the arch, which was so awesome! I couldn't be happier with our choice of florist. Thank you so much Melissa!

    Melissa made the day beautiful and easy!

    Melissa was wonderful! The bouquets and centerpieces were beautiful and she was very generous to give us extra flowers for the cake table, etc... She was super easy to work with and her prices were fantastic. Everything arrived right on time and lasted beautifully. I have already recommended her to a friend!

    BEAUTIFUL flowers, great value, wonderful to work with!

    Everything about working with Melissa exceeded our expectations--especially for the price we paid. She was incredibly responsive over email, and was extremely flexible with any changes to our flowers. For instance, we decided that we wanted to incorporate pinecones into our bouquets, and she collected them from her backyard just for us! The result was absolutely stunning--just like off a pinterest board. Melissa gives you the option to pick up your flowers the day before (instead of delivery) if you don't meet a minimum spending figure, which was great for us, because it gave us the opportunity to save for other things while still having BEAUTIFUL bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages for our wedding party. The flowers absolutely made the wedding feel like a fairytale--we got so many compliments and questions about who did our flowers. I would absolutely recommend Melissa for your wedding day flowers or any other occasion!

    Melissa was very personable and easy to work with. She was very knowledgeable and full of suggestions of how to make our vision possible while staying within our budget. Melissa was very flexible and even agreed to drop off the bridal party bouquets and boutonnieres where we were getting ready. If you're looking for someone who will truly listen to and understand your floral dreams for your wedding then Melissa is the florist for you!

    Finding Melissa was an absolute dream come true. I was a very laid back bride, and just told her what colors I'd like to see in my bouquet, my bridesmaids bouquets, and the corsages/boutonnieres. I let her be creative with the flowers, and they turned out absolutely INCREDIBLE! I couldn't have dreamed of a more beautiful bouquet or arch arrangement. Our center pieces were hand painted jars with baby's breath and she let us drop off the jars at her house months before the wedding, and she took care of bringing them to the venue, and setting it all up.

    Melissa was absolutely fantastic and our flowers were mind blowingly beautiful. She worked with us to stay in our budget and we could not be happier with how they turned out. Our guests complimented everything from our bouquets to our table pieces and even the smaller arrangements of extra flowers she placed throughout our reception hall. I could not recommend her enough if you are looking for beautiful arrangements, a wonderful person, and someone who genuinely wants to make your special day even more special. Our flowers definitely made our wedding memorable.

    Melissa was fantastic! She was recommended to us by a friend and we had met with a few other flower vendors before finally selecting Melissa. Her prices are absolutely reasonable and she is so easy to work with. She has amazing vision and completely transformed my wedding flower dreams into reality and all within my budget! This was no easy task since I wanted my wedding flower to be the purple phalaenopsis orchid, but she did it! My bouquet was so beautiful and I got a lot of compliments on the flowers. Melissa made my bouquet, six bridesmaid bouquets, three rose/baby’s breath flower girl crowns, nine boutonnieres, four corsages, sixteen flower arrangements with rose petals, flowers for our cake, toss bouquet, extra hydrangeas, rose petals, and two flower arch pieces. She set up my flowers on our cake perfectly, set up the hydrangeas in the vases along the aisle, and re-purposed the flower arch pieces perfectly our head table. The flowers were fresh, high quality, and lasted all day! They even lasted a week later according to our guests who took the centerpieces home at the end of the wedding. She is amazing and I highly recommend her.

    Melissa is so easy to talk with and has a wealth of knowledge. She is helpful with designs and arrangements selections that will satisfy any needs. The best part is the price! You will be amazed at the quality of flowers for the price, we were extremely happy with our bouquets, arrangements and corsages/boutonnieres. We added 12 sponsors to our event which meant we needed extra corsages/boutonnieres and Melissa was so accommodating and took care of our needs promptly. She was a joy to work with!

    Melissa was a pleasure to work with. I booked her well in advance and she was able to accommodate all of our needs and wants. She arrived promptly day of the wedding and had everything set up better than i imagined! Flowers and bouquets were absolutely gorgeous. She even had all the corsages and boutaners according to "mother of the groom" ect. labeled inside a clear container which made it easy for everyone to know who's flowers were who's. Flowers were fresh and lasted all through the day and night and were beautiful to have in our home for the week after our wedding. Overall everything went very smoothly from beginning to end. Thank you so much!!

    Melissa, from Wedding Flowers By Melissa, recently did all the flowers for our April wedding at Karl Strauss Brewery Gardens in San Diego. I can't say enough about how amazing she was to work with and how gorgeous the flowers were for the wedding. I'm not a flower person, so I really didn't have much in the way of ideas for what I wanted. All I knew is that I wanted the bouquets and centerpieces to be rustic and to enhance the original beauty of the venue - and she nailed it. She took what I liked from my Pinterest board and came up with some amazing ideas, all well within the budget. The bouquets and boutonnieres were beautiful. The centerpieces were understated, but gorgeous (she even incorporated some lanterns that we had picked out), and the flowers for the ceremony were stunning. We received so many compliments. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Melissa!

    My husband and I met Melissa at our very first bridal sow and no other florist compared to her. She was a delight to work with and my flowers were more beautiful than i could have imagined. I'd recommend Melissa to any bride looking for her florist.

    I knew from the moment that I met Melissa and saw her work, that I wanted her to be my florist for my wedding. She was always very polite and responsive in emails (even when I kept changing what I wanted my flowers to look like). She is very knowledgeable about flowers and what flowers to use when the ones you want are out of season or out of budget. We were on a pretty tight budget for flowers and she was able to work her magic to get us what we wanted without going over budget. The arrangements that she put together were stunning and we have received many compliments on how gorgeous the flowers turned out. Overall, I had a great experience with Melissa and will definitely use her again for any future events that require a florist.

    There are simply not enough words to describe what a pleasure it was working with Melissa. My mom met Melissa at a Bridal Bazaar and insisted I would love her, so I went to the initial meeting just to see what I thought. Upon meeting Melissa, I quickly knew she was the florist for us. She listened carefully to what we wanted and was caring and flexible with a few unique requests that we had. Additionally she was far more reasonably priced then the other florists I met with. Throughout the entire wedding process she was great to work with and extremely helpful. Fast forward to the wedding day and our flowers were everything I envisioned and more! She truly made our vision come to life. We recieved so many compliments on her work! If you're looking for a florist then I highly recommend you go with Melissa.

    Melissa's flowers are very impressive, as is the customer experience as a whole. We had her flowers for the ceremony and reception, centerpieces, bridal party, decorations, petal toss, etc. They turned out more beautiful than I even imagined, and got many, many compliments. The flowers stayed fresh and healthy the whole night, and they really popped both in person and in the photos. To add to it she was truly a pleasure to work with as she helped guide me through the planning process and made suggestions. You can tell she cares about her work, and about you as the bride. She even made suggestions of ways to save money rather than trying to upsell everything, which was SO refreshing in the wedding planning process. A true professional and artist.

    Melissa was absolutely amazing! She completed understood what we were looking for (with minimal/no input from us) and delivered an incredible array of flowers. I would recommend her to anyone asking for a florist.

    Melissa was so wonderful and my flowers for the wedding were beautiful. I didn't have to worry at all. I just told her what I wanted and she delivered! I had wanted peonies and she was kind enough to call me a couple days before the wedding to tell me they were looking only so so this season and recommended some englist tea roses to add in. They turned out just beautiful. My husband is from Molokai and she also shipped in plumerias from Molokai for the big day. She set aside some for the bridal parties hair as well. I have to say I never worried one bit about the flowers and could not be more happy with how they looked. Melissa is amazing and you should book her now! Fully recommend!

    Melissa was great! From our first meeting to the day of, she came through on everything she promised. I was pretty adamant about two particular obscure flowers I wanted in my arrangement, I wanted everything all white, to look as though they had just been picked from the garden, and she came up with the rest. Not to say there weren't any hiccups: the main distributor of the particular fower I wanted mixed up some seeds and they came in colorful. Melissa did her best to pick out the white and really pale ones and made sure there were enough for the bouquets and centerpieces, and then she used the colorful ones to decorate everything else (She was actually pretty scared about calling me to tell me that what I wanted in all white came in colorful, but it was no big deal. I knew the hotel had a bunch of colorful flowers all over so it ended up working out perfectly!). The other greenery I really really really wanted in the guys' boutainniers and women's corsages wasn't available through any of her sources (I kind of anticipated this as it's a slightly obscure herb), so I went to a local nursery, found a ton of them for super cheap, brought them to her way ahead of time, and she experimented with them to make sure they wouldn't wilt or droop or break ( I hadn't even thought of any of that!!). At the same time I brought her a bunch of jars I had saved up that I wanted to use for my centerpieces (she HAD vases and jars, I was just set on saving them myself and recycling what I consumed). She brought everything to the hotel early in the morning: bouquets, boutainniers, centerpieces, extra flowers for decorating buffet and cake and guest book tables, extra flowers to pin into my hair... She thought of everything! And it was perfect! I had the flowers I really wanted, the boutainniers had the greenery I really wanted, everything was fresh, the bouquets were adorable, I can't say enough!!! I absolutely loved my flowers and working with Melissa!!!

    Melissa was a wonderful find! She is super easy to work with, extremely talented, and all at a great price! She met with us to discuss what we wanted, sent over a easy to understand proposal, even accommodated last minute changes. And, of course, brought amazing flowers!!! I highly recommend her!

    Incredible experience with Melissa! The flowers were GORGEOUS. She worked with me in very creative ways to utilize my ideas and add her design expertise. She is a beautiful artist and made each of our meetings so much fun. We really hit it off and I felt very secure in trusting her as she talked about working our ideas together.
    I met Melissa at the San Diego Bridal Bazaar and got a really great vibe from her. I checked out 5 other flower vendors, as well, including a wholesale place, but found that Melissa really did give me the best beauty for my buck. She was really creative about utilizing my ceremony flowers at the reception, as well. I had this idea of how I wanted to have the aisle flowers also be the centerpieces. She did it in a GORGEOUS way and the other florists weren't really on board the way she was.
    Every interaction with Melissa was great and the flowers were STUNNING!
    I couldn't be happier.
    She also worked very well together with the caterer, cake decorator, and wedding planner to pull it altogether. I was so glad that all my vendors worked well together

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Melissa. My wedding was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined because of her amazing talent. I loved all of my wedding flowers (especially my centerpieces and bouquet) and she made the arch my husband and I got married under so beautiful. She was also a great pleasure to work with--very responsive, professional and flexible. I will recommend her to every bride getting married in the area.

    I really enjoyed working with Melissa – she is so sweet and she did such a great job. Not only did were our flowers gorgeous, but she also hung rows of paper lanterns for us at the reception site. Since she works out of her home, her prices are super reasonable without sacrificing quality (my uncle, also a florist, commented on the high quality of her flowers and how great the bouquets still looked a few days after the wedding). I loved that when I had a specific vision for something Melissa was happy to work with me to fit it into the wedding, but that when I asked her to make other decisions without me I was equally pleased with the results. Our set-up was complicated by the fact that we had different venues for the ceremony and reception, but she took the initiative to get in touch with site coordinators for each location to figure out a schedule that would allow her to have enough time. I also appreciated that she kept me in the loop the whole time, sending me an e-mail when my flowers were ordered, when she received them, and letting me know her schedule for the day. She also thought ahead to get backup plans for any problems that might occur and was flexible to accommodate last minute changes that I needed. I was a little nervous that I was going to walk into the reception site and see it for the first time an hour after all of the guests had arrived, but after sitting down with Melissa to finalize details that anxiety turned into excitement. She is so good at what she does and I knew the flowers were going to look great. The centerpieces really popped on the tables and still looked beautiful on brunch tables the next morning. I would definitely recommend Wedding Flowers by Melissa!

    Melissa was the only and best thing I took away from the one and only overwhelming bridal bazaars I attended. Her work stood out above the rest so I booked an appointment with her. Melissa works out of her home in North County SD which helps keep her prices so competitive. She really understood my vision for a flower drenched canopy for the ceremony and overgrown vibrant and varying flowers for my bridal bouquet. She sourced multiple different colors and textures which was very important to me. She was flexible and went with the flow creating a new quote for me every time I changed my centerpiece ideas... which was often. My only advice would be to be clear about the size and fullness of the flowers you want for the various aspects of your event. Overall, I was incredibly happy with my flowers and am very grateful to Melissa for all her work.

    I was a budget conscious bride and Melissa worked with me to have beautiful arrangements without spending a lot. She was able to replicate the suggestion images I sent very well. The flowers held up very very well and we even took them to Santa Barbara to decorate our honeymoon beach house.

    Melissa seemed like she would be good to work with and that she would be honest and upfront. However, she was difficult, kept increasing her prices and in the end was extremely unprofessional, rude and did not deliver the flowers agreed upon. She was provided color samples (eggplant, pink and white) and she was provided photos of the exact phala orchid requested. She was provided one of the vases to use for her sample, so she knew the size of the vase as well as the specific color requested. Her initial sample was done with 3 "magenta" dendrobium orchids. We informed her we did NOT want magenta, we wanted eggplant. A second photo was given to her. She then informed us that the eggplant phala was more expensive, that the blooms were larger so we would only need 2 not 3 for the size vases we had, and increased our contract by several hundred dollars. The day of the wedding she delivered MAGENTA phala orchids! The blooms were huge, and only one bloom fit in the vases and was "squished" into it! When I questioned her, she became angry, frustrated and yelled at me in front of the Hilton Hotel's wedding coordinator. She stated she had car trouble and would be back to try to work something out AND NEVER RETURNED! We paid for and were left with twice the amount of orchids needed because she did not order properly, The extras were "jammed" into extra vases half hazzardly and completely clashed with the eggplant table runners and other decor. She not only ruined the day by stressing me out, but ruined the entire look of the event. I feel she was given plenty of instructions, photos, color samples, the exact vase to use as a measure for how many orchids she would need and still didn't get it right. However, the MOST disappointing thing was her unprofessionalism which was witnessed by myself, my mother in law and the hotel coordinator who stated that she would not be welcome back at their hotel. Poor customer service and poor quality!
