Valarie with A Loves In Bloom is a Floral Genius! We hired her to help make our wedding an unforgettably beautiful day, and thats exactly what she did! She really knows her stuff, and is extremely thorough. Valarie was a joy to work with through the entire planning process. And was more than happy to work with our budget which was so very helpful. She was always very attentive to all of our needs, and exceeded our expectations. We couldn't have been happier with the way our arrangements turned out for our wedding. We would hire her again in a heartbeat! read more

I was the photographer at a wedding back in June 2010. Valarie was the florist! She did an incredible job arranging the flowers and the bride was more than pleased. The way the colors of the flowers look against the dresses, wow! I recommend her to all my brides! read more

Man, oh man. I cannot even begin to explain how much I appreciate Valarie! From our initial meeting at Sbux...I just KNEW she was going to be absolutely amazing. She totally helped me hone in on my vision and ran with it (in a totally affordable way no less). She was so eager to help me in every way possible (and I had A LOT of questions). I was really set on having gold vases and she decided to add gold vases to her inventory to help me out--she goes above and beyond. On the day of my wedding she did not disappoint either--the flower arrangements and bouquets were out of this world GORGEOUS. I spent 2 years planning my wedding and a lot was depending upon those flowers--they were truly even more beautiful than I imagined. Seriously...you will not be disappointed! Valarie is THE BEST! read more

Valerie at A Love's in Bloom is amazing!!! I was planning my Napa wedding from San Diego and Valerie was extremely patient and understanding with my questions/ideas and made everything so easy for me. We discussed ideas over the phone initially, had some email exchanges during the planning process (which worked with my busy schedule) and then met one time while I was in the Bay Area over the holidays. Valerie was always on top of emails and even if she couldn't respond in detail immediately she would quickly respond to let me know she got the email and would be in touch in the next day. She understood my vision and made me feel everything would be just as we had discussed. The week before the wedding we had an increase in numbers and had to add an extra centerpiece and Valerie accommodated without any issues. Valerie also called to check in the day before the wedding to make sure we didn't have any last minute changes. The day of the wedding her assistant came and set up everything up and the flowers were INCREDIBLE!!!!! I absolutely LOVED them and they were everything I had envisioned throughout the planning process. The seasonal mix of purple and green with some of my favorite purple tulips included looked amazing with our venue. I HIGHLY recommend Valerie and her business A Love's in Bloom! She is incredible and stayed within the budget I was working with and even made cost saving suggestions to repurpose certain pieces to save money. I definitely appreciated that tip and that she respected and worked in our budget. Valerie made planning from a distant so easy and I appreciate her and her assistant for all they did to help make our wedding beautiful! Thank you Valerie!! read more

See all

Valerie did the flowers for my wedding at Chardonnay Golf Club. She was great to work with leading up to the wedding. The flowers arrived on time the day of. My only disappointment was the large arrangements had colors that I did not request or think would be added to the bouquet. I was having pink, orange, and a peach color and purple was in the larger arrangements. The other issue was some of the flower arrangements the flowers were wilting already and did not look fresh. It was a hot day, but even in looking at pictures now they didnt look fresh. Other than that though the bouquet and centerpieces were all great and Valerie is awesome to work with and always very accommodating and patient. read more

Valarie was amazing. First let me start with the fact that I was shocked at how other vendors were unresponsive but, Valarie got back to me right away. I tag myself the non-bride, bride. I did not have a depth of knowledge on what I wanted for flowers. I had a general idea of what I wanted the look and feel to be. She spent time with me going through flower types and offering guidance. Her pricing was so reasonable, almost to a point that it had me concerned for a minute on what I would be receiving. She was flexible when I added and changed the order - even to the last minute. My wedding was this past weekend and the bouquets were exactly how I pictured it in my head. Not one complaint here. The groomsmen had baseball rose boutonniere that everyone complimented, cake flowers were spot on. Highly recommend!!! read more

I had Valarie do center pieces for my boyfriend's 50th birthday. After meeting with Valarie one time, she nailed our taste and design perfectly. On the day of the event, her staff arrived on time and put every arrangement where it was supposed to go. We were very happy with A Love's in Bloom. We'd recommend them and use them again without hesitation. read more

Valerie is an amazing florist and was always easy and fast to communicate any changes with. She was very easy to work with and very personable. Highly recommended!! read more

I love love love A Loves in Bloom... It has been 3 years since my wedding that I used them for my flowers, and I still enjoy looking at all of the new work they post on Facebook! Valarie was very helpful, knowing nothing about what flowers I wanted except for the colors everything turned out perfect! read more

We just used Valarie for our wedding at Bridges Golf Club in San Ramon and WOW! We received so many compliments on the floral arrangements. I don't know much about flowers but showed Valarie a few floral arrangements I found on Pinterest and she made them happen! She did a beautiful floral runner on top of the fireplace which re-purposed perfectly for the head table. Her prices were also SUPER reasonable. Can't say enough positive things about working with her! She also recommended our day of wedding planner who we loved. read more

Valarie was referred by my sister-in-law, and she did a wonderful job. I highly recommend Valarie - she was very easy to work with and the flowers were absolutely beautiful. She also did very cool centerpieces, which involved flowers floating in vases. I can't wait to see all the pictures. Thanks Valarie! read more

Valarie was great! She found what I wanted when I only had a vague idea. She was able to give me my last minute ideas when it was above and beyond the call of duty. She's also a great person that gives you allot of individual attention. She is worth more than she charges! read more

Valarie is awesome!! She always responded back to me and knew exactly what I wanted when I explained my flowers to her! Valarie's flowers were so beautiful and put together so nicely; they also smelt soo wonderful. The way she put the flower-girls head wreaths together were perfect. She makes sure she accommodates all your needs. Absolutely the best! read more

A Love's in Bloom - Florists Near Me

This review is EXTREMELY overdue and Valarie I apologize! Valarie ROCKS! My husband and I were married last December, and less than a month before our wedding, I found A Loves in Bloom online and made an appointment to meet with Valarie for a bouqet and boutonniere. I brought her a picture of a Christmas inspired bouquet/boutonniere (that I found online on some random blog), that I absolutely fell in LOVE with, and was hoping to have something similar made. They each consisted of some fabric flowers and button accents which were my favorite parts, so I asked Valarie, if I could make the fabric flowers and buttons, bring to her, could she put them together (with other flowers/greenery) however she thought would look best, sticking with a winter/holiday theme? She told me no problem, and I had a feeling she would do something great. I had no idea how great though... the morning I went to pick up my flowers I was in AWE- my bouquet and boutonniere looked almost exactly like the photo from the blog but with her own personal touch that actually made them so much better! They were beautiful and received loads of compliments throughout our wedding day. Valarie is very creative, talented, and takes a lot of pride in her work to make sure it's perfect for you! I highly recommend her to everyone! read more

Valarie was the first florist we met with when planning our wedding. Although we tried to shop around, her beautiful arrangements, excellent service, and great pricing was the far and away the best we found. She had great suggestions, implemented our requests perfectly, and her day-of staff was just as good. The bouquets and centerpieces were gorgeous. She was extremely helpful, had everything set up perfectly, and worked with our caterer and venue to make sure everything went smoothly. We couldn't be happier with the result! Save yourself the time and just book Valarie. read more

Valarie did an amazing job on the flowers for our wedding! They turned out even lovelier than I had hoped and she was very accommodating of my style & requests, even at the 11th hour. She provided our bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, flower girl wand, bulk flowers for our centerpieces and a gorgeous "swag" for our arbor. Everything was stunning and fit our venue and style perfectly. Additionally, Valarie's friendly professionalism made the whole floral portion of wedding planning much easier and less stressful. Her prices are more than fair and I'd recommend her to anyone! read more

Valarie is AMAZING!!! I found her on yelp about a year ago when planning my wedding. From the very start of our interactions, she's been an incredible joy to work with! She's prompt with her responses, has an amazing eye for detail and very reasonable priced! She was able to take photos I've provided and turn my vision of flowers for my wedding into reality! All the flowers were BEAUTIFUL!! I highly recommend Valarie for your flower needs, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Adam & I would just like to thank you Valerie for a beautiful job well done on the flower arrangements for our wedding at the Rockefeller Lodge this past January 15th. You made everything stress free from beginning to end, and it was a pleasure working with you. We received alot of compliments on the beautiful black long stem flower vases with the red roses, and the gazebo flower decors, as well as the flowers for myself and the bridesmaids. Everything was lovely!! I will definitely use your services again. Thanks Valerie! read more

I worked with Valerie who was recommended by a mutual friend. She did such a great job with my flowers for my wedding day on July 7, 2017. She always answered my questions promptly and was even able to deliver my flowers that was arranged a week before the wedding. Thank you Valerie for everything and my flowers turned out perfect. read more

My wedding was this past Sunday November 4th 2012. I found Valerie through my day of wedding coordinator Jessica Hensin (A Beautiful Affair Events). I would use Valerie again if I had to do it all over. First off, she listened to my ideas and even suggested ideas to make my vision a reality. Valerie was always available and responded to my emails and calls in a timely manner. She worked with my budget and even helped me save money. It was really nice to find someone who wasn't out to over charge for everything because you said it was for your wedding. I felt like when you mention wedding the price doubles! The flowers arrived in perfect condition and everything was placed as we discussed. I got to know Valerie through the process and she made me feel like a friend not just a customer. She was my favorite vendor when it came to outside vendors. I would give her 10 stars if I could. Thank you again Valerie for all your help and bending over backwards to work with my schedule. You're amazing! read more

Valerie of A Love's In Bloom provided the flowers for my April wedding. The flowers were beautiful and she provided friendly and courteous service through the entire process. I changed my mind more than once and she was always 100% accomidating. She also has really good prices! read more

Wow!!! Perhaps someone else from our family can write a more knowledgeable review, but we were all so impressed with the beauty, quality, and service. Wedding ceremony had an arbor plus flowers along the aisle, which then became the centerpieces at the reception tables. Very reasonable pricing and all top-notch. read more

Valarie, your flowers were magnificent! The roses and the succulents were perfect together and so fresh. The wand bouquets for the little girls were a major hit. The wedding guests could not have been more appreciative of your amazing work and when we suggested that they could table home table bouquets...there was a stampede! Thank you for creating the fairyland that my daughter was hoping for, the arch and every single bouquet was a work of art. read more

Valarie is amazing!!! I hired her for my daughters recent wedding and she did a fabulous job!! Everything was exactly what she said it was going to be, but even more beautiful and very reasonably priced. She has exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend her for any type of event! Great job! read more

Valarie was such a PLEASURE to work with. She is very reasonable and flexible. She is patient, kind and a great listener. She takes great notes and offers great suggestions depending on your theme/color decor. She was my favorite vendor to work with and I hope I get the chance to work with her again! She made the whole wedding process stress free and I am so happy I got the referral for her. I highly suggest her and thank her for an amazing and beautiful wedding that she provided flowers for. Everything from the church flowers to centerpieces to bouquets were beautiful and exactly as I hoped they would be! read more

My now husband and I had no idea how to plan a wedding because we were having the first big wedding in our family. Valarie was so helpful in creating the perfect look we wanted for our flowers. At our first meeting she had all kinds of pictures and books for us to look at which was very easy for us to choose what we wanted. She's very professional and easy to talk to. She made us feel comfortable and the flowers were gorgeous! read more

Absolutely wonder! Not only are Valarie's flower arrangements beautiful, she is such a wonderful person to work with. She made the process so easy. I would recommend her to anyone I know. She has lots of examples and try's her best to match what you need. Her work is amazing, she is amazing, and there are no words to describe it. Please consider using her. You will be over and beyond happy! read more

Valarie is AMAZING! I found out about her through my wedding venue (Wildwood Acres) and couldn't be more pleased we chose her. The cost of florals can get so out of control, but she was very reasonably priced and so flexible. I decided to grow my own dahlias to use in the wedding, and Valarie was totally fine with that and took it into account in the pricing. I also provided my own jars and bottles as I was going for a less structured "wildflowey" kind of look, and I just delivered them a few days before the wedding and she took care of the rest! I was also dead set on having a King Protea surrounded by seeded Eucalyptus for my bouquet as it is the national flower of South Africa (where my husband is from!). I was devastated when she told me it was out of season and she wasn't able to track one down for me, but I wasn't worried for long! She got me a beautiful silk Protea, and it turned out perfectly, as I will have it to keep and remind me of our beautiful wedding day forever! Thank you so much Valarie! It was a pleasure working with you! read more

Valarie did a lovely job on my bridal bouquet as well as the bouquets for my bridesmaids and boutonnire's for the groom and groom's men. Very well priced and professional. Would highly recommend her to others. read more

I LOVE Valerie and floral her work. My daughter had a very specific vision of the flowers she wanted for her wedding centerpieces and bouquet. Valerie did an amazing job fulfilling her dream. Valerie loves her work and it shows in the final product. She is very easy to work with and went the extra mile to change things we decided on at the last minute! Everything was perfect! To top it off her prices are very reasonable. Our venue was the Gardens at Heather Farm and the flowers transformed the room. I highly recommend "A Loves In Bloom for any event!" read more

I worked with Valarie for my 10.10.10 wedding. We were a little unsure of a theme or what we wanted things to look like when we met Valarie but the meeting was awesome. She really helped us pull together a look we were happy with, we had already seen some of her work at a bridal show and knew she was very capable of making our wedding everything we would want it to be. She was very conscious of a budget and helping us stay with in our range and get exactly what we felt would make our day. A month before the wedding the Bridesmaids dresses came in and they were the wrong color! Valarie was so much help, made time to meet with me and go over the new color and ideas of what needed to be changed and made me feel SO much better about what happen. Day of she was on time at the hotel, had all our bouquets in perfect order, was so sweet and personable, took pictures and was genuinely happy for me and my day. Once we got to the venue and saw everything she did we could not have been happier with our choice of florist for our perfect special day! I would use Valarie in a heart beat for any other parties or special days in the future. THANK YOU VALARIE! We appreciate what you did for us and our wedding day! read more

Valarie was such a pleasure to work with! She offers very competitive pricing and had a HUGE variety of flowers to choose from! During out first meeting, she showed us many pictures of her own work and we were very impressed. She also had books for us to choose our flowers in the colors we wanted. She even dyed some of the flowers to match our color scheme! I got pretty ill 2 months before the wedding and missed a lot of work. She was kind enough to work with us so that we could pay her off once I returned to work (which was a couple weeks later) and she definately didn't need to do that! She was very professional with a personal touch. Our flowers were beyond beautiful on our special day and we got SO many compliments on them! I would definately reccomend Valarie to EVERYONE. read more

As the MOB - my daughter's wedding was the most spectacular with Valarie's flowers - all the colors were in the "sunset" range.The bridesmaid's colors between their dresses and the flowers knocked your socks off, the pew and altar flowers were amazing and the centerpieces were so beautiful, bright and cheerful. My daughter's bridal bouquet was so special with those colors mixed in with the white roses, and white mini-cala lillies. The mixtures of colors in the photos made for some really bright, super shots. Valarie was wonderful to work with and seeing her and her work at the bridal fairs was so much better than just looking at photos. She is a treasure, listening to what my daughter's vision was and making her wedding a very special day. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about working with Valerie for our wedding flowers. She was very helpful from the beginning when I still just had a wide variety of ideas of what I might want for flowers. She showed me several ideas to help me make my decisions. She happily answered all of our questions and updated our order as we changed our mind on a few things. The bouquets and flowers for the center-pieces turned out beautiful and we were very happy with everything throughout the process! read more

Valarie was recommended to me by my wedding venue, and once we met with her, it was very obvious why she was so highly recommended! She definitely knows her stuff and is an amazing florist! She has been in this business for a long time, and was able to help us stick to our budget by recommending ways to cut costs but still have a beautiful floral spread. Since she was so familiar with our venue, she also was familiar with the venue layout and the small details that mattered (e.g. the strong wind that is commonly present), and was able to recommend things to make our ceremony and reception look its best. She was responsive to all emails and was able to answer all questions that I had. The day of the wedding, she delivered everything on time, and all the bouquets/boutineers/corsages were labeled. In addition, it was crazy hot that day, and she worked with the venue to ensure that our flowers would not sit out in the sun for hours before the wedding started. I would recommend Valarie for her amazing knowledge of all things floral and great service, for weddings or any other special events you are planning! read more

I'm so thankful that I found and chose to have Valarie create our wedding bouquets, corsages, floral for our cake, and centerpieces! Valarie responded to my inquiry right away and l really appreciated that she scheduled a time to meet in person at a location and time convenient for me. I immediately felt comfortable with Valarie; she is so easy to talk and work with, and I NEVER felt any pressure to order more than I needed. She showed me examples, asked me questions, and I really felt she was there to hear about and make my vision happen (even though I didn't have a detailed vision other than different shades of purple). We had a very small wedding budget, and Valarie provided high quality floral arrangements for a very reasonable price. She stayed within my original budget even when my guest size increased from 30 - 50. She delivered my cake floral the day before, and even called me the day before to check to see if there was last minute needs I hadn't thought of! She was on time for the wedding, and I got tears in my eyes when I first saw my bouquet - it was gorgeous and exactly what I wanted! I received compliments about the centerpieces all night long! I would highly recommend Valarie and A Loves in Bloom for any wedding or event! read more

Valarie (A Loves in Bloom) has created countless bridal bouquets and arrangements over the years. Yet this past fall, when we met, she managed to make me feel that the wedding I was planning was the one that mattered most to her. Whenever I described an idea for my brother's wedding flowers, Valarie immediately found a photo of what the arrangements could look like from her gigantic portfolio of prior weddings. Then she advised how to best tailor the order both to our desired look and budget. At times Valarie suggested less expensive flowers when she thought the effect would be better. The bridal bouquet and 6 bridesmaids bouquets came out especially gorgeous. Valarie was quickly responsive by phone and e-mail whenever we had follow-up qs. She's as professional as she is expert. We appreciated how competitively she prices her beautiful work compared to other florists we contacted. Valarie, our heartfelt thanks for being truly fantastic! read more
