My wedding this past weekend and I'm still so happy thinking about the flower arrangements and bouquets designed and provided by Marina. Everything at the wedding was gorgeous. I received so many compliments on the colors of roses, and flowers chosen to compliment to tones we chose for our wedding theme. The bouquets, the flower arrangements, and even the boutonnieres...Marina went above and beyond, I truly believe she is an artist with how everything came out. Marina was a delight to work with, especially since we had been working with her for 2 years to in creating my vision into real life. She asked a lot of good questions and spent a long time with me and my husband going through pictures of flowers to help her figure out what kind of flowers I wanted at the wedding. She's friendly, nice and takes a lot of interest in getting to know her couples. She even called me a few days before the wedding to say hello and just make sure everything was going well! She was also very attentive to sticking to our budget. I will be recommending Marina to everyone for any kind of event that will showcase her talents with her flower art. I will post more pictures once I get them from our photographer! read more

She makes the most beautiful floral arrangements at an exceptionally excellent price. Lovely lady to work with! We need more stars for her

Marina is quite literally an angel, and one of my favorite vendors to work with on our wedding day. I supplied all the vases that were used for our centerpieces, and she made beautiful arrangements for them. My bridal bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets/boutonnières were beautiful. She had beautiful flowers pieces for the church and for all my decor. She has so much experience, and knew exactly what I wanted. She helped make our day wonderful! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Marina! She designed and created the most elegant and beautiful florals for my daughter's wedding!

Thank you Marina for not only being amazing and sweet, but for making my daughter's vision a gorgeous reality! read more

Marina was recommended to me by a family member after my previous florist fell through. I was a little nervous because I had originally sought after florists who had a more loose and wild, organic look, and a lot of Marina's work seemed to have a more traditional look. Nevertheless, I decided to trust my aunt on the recommendation and shared my vision with Marina. I also showed her pictures of an inspiration bouquet and told her to basically make it for me. When I got her notes back with prices, I noticed the words "loose," "airy," and "hand tied" were written first. I felt better because I knew she understood the style I wanted and was open to it. She also put together a sample of a centerpiece for me so I could see how the flowers looked together. She was very open to revisions and was happy to show me two different colored dark red roses so I could see the color difference in person. Later on, she showed me a sample of the centerpiece mason jar and burlap wrap on it, and allowed me to tweak the style a little. She was also kind enough to do a last minute substitution the week of the wedding when we reduced the number of tables, and created grandmother corsages instead. When she came to my house to do part of the delivery the morning of the wedding, I was in awe by how beautiful it was! I couldn't stop going to the table to look at my bouquet. The fact that she nailed a look that seems a bit outside her usual style just proves her talent and ability to be versatile for her clients! Not only did I love the flowers, but everyone at the wedding complimented them and were amazing by how much it suited the venue. Give Marina a shot! She's such a great read more

I was recommended to Marina by my sister who had her wedding flowers done by her back in October 2014. I always remembered how beautiful her flowers were and that she even added succulents to the bouquets! Marina did such an incredible job in making our dreams come a reality with our wedding flowers. We had to postpone our wedding and Marina was so understanding and accommodating! She worked with us from start to finish to make sure we were happy with our choices! She is also very reasonably priced which is a bonus! We received the wedding bouquet and bridal party flowers (including free toss bouquet!), boutonnieres for the groom and groomsmen and corsages for the mothers and grandmother on wedding day and we would not have been happier! She uses the most unique flowers and creates the most beautiful arrangements I have ever seen! Thank you so so much for adding the most beautiful touch to our big day!!:) read more

I love this place and Marina her self. I have been coming to her for almost 20 years since I was about 10. She always would hook me up with a huge arrangement for my mom on mothers day. Then from my first girlfriend to my present one. But about 15 years ago my sister passed away and my mom would go in to Marinas at least once every two weeks for my sister's grave and Marina always was so sweet to my mom. Not just with giving her nice flowers but being read more

Marina and her team created a beautiful assortment of flowers for my wedding. They were very professional and did a wonderful job that day. They came early, set up and left. They were like ninjas. The flowers were in coral colors. It went perfectly with the venue. I loved them so much that I couldn't stop staring at them [pictures provided]. Marina was very generous with the flowers she provided. She didn't penny pinch and gave me extras. She made the whole flower purchasing experience easy and wonderful. read more

This is my first review for Marina even though I have used her services throughout the years. I have used for my daughter's Sweet Sixteen party, a couple of my work events and this time for my mom's 70th bday party. I cannot tell you how much Marina keeps impressing me with her talents, just when I think she cannot get any better. She worked with my budget and produced the most beautiful arrangements for my mom's party! People kept asking me who did the flowers?, and saying how gorgeous the arrangements were. She exceeded my expectations and my mom was soo happy with them. If you are looking for quality, affordable arrangements with grade A+ customer service than Marina is your girl. Thanks again Marina for a job well done!! read more

I was in a time crunch and wanted to order a flower crown. Im obsessed with them, I ordered one a day before my event and she had no problem taking my order. I just mentioned I could use any flowers since it was so last minute. When I came to pick up my ordering she was finishing it up, she tried it on my head and made sure I was happy with it. It came out beautiful and it was a great deal! read more

Not living in the area I decided to turn to Yelp and found Marina. She was friendly and made it possible to help with a smaller individual order for my engagement night. She asked what my fiancé's favorite colors and flowers were and put together a wonderful looking arrangement and had it delivered to the hotel we were staying at. The arrangement was amazing and truly brought my girlfriend to tears after an amazing night. Thank you Marina. read more

It's a little bit nerve wracking to order flowers over the phone given that you are entrusting that the floral designer understands the vision you've created in your mind. Designs by Marina completely gets it. They went above and beyond my expectations. The arrangement was absolutely stunning from the beautiful flowers to the gorgeous vessel. It was exactly what I had wanted, and they did not fail in their execution. This is now my go-to florist. read more

The only thing I know about flowers is that it's nice to send them to people when they're sick or had a baby or a death in the family and that they smell nice and look pretty. I say this because when I walked in here Marina had her hands cut out for her. I walked in and said, "I need a bunch of pink flowers for a bridal shower and I have no idea what I'm doing." She seemed slightly annoyed because I was so clueless but it worked out because I walked out with a substantial amount of pink flowers and baby's breath. She gave me great tips on how to arrange them and I didn't spend that much. I was pleased and I'd definitely go here again if I need good service on a budget. read more

Marina was so easy to work with. Marina came with high recommendations from teachers at my school who had previously used her services in the past few years for their weddings. From day one I knew I was in good hands with Marina. She was very comfortable to work with. She understood my vision and gave great ideas to complement the look I was going for. Marina provided great insight about flowers, season, pricing etc. I appreciated her honesty, and it helped guide me to better alternatives that exceeded my expectations in affordable pricing and appearance. The day of the reception the flowers arrived promptly and they were more beautiful that I could have imagined. She included every detail that we had discussed. The volume of the flowers was very generous for the price. Marina delivers quality & quantity. During the planning process I would drop in to deliver payment and order random bouquets for various events. I was amazed at the detail of each order. One time I mentioned I needed a mixed bouquet for $20. She asked what colors and I said any bright colors because it was for a thank you gift at a luau team banquet. Upon picking them up they were the most gorgeous luau bouquet with tea leaves and bright orchid lei flowers. It was made like it was going to be presented to Ms. America. Wow! What a nice surprise! Every arrangement made by Marina has been well thought out and has her expert touch. I highly recommend Marina for any occasion requiring floral arrangements! I will continue to use her services and tell my friends about her. Marina is truly an expert in her field. read more

Marina was great to work with and the flowers for our wedding were gorgeous! They could not have turned out any better and they were exactly what I was looking for. You can really see the attention to detail and the craftsmanship in all of her work. The only thing that happened was that I thought my bridesmaids were going to get flower crowns but instead they got combs. We had to improvise there, but the flowers on the combs were so gorgeous that we were able to make them work! read more

Needed 7 regular boutonnieres, 1 groom's boutonniere, and 3 corsages for my wedding 4/23/16. We were on a tight budget and did our own centerpieces, but I did not want the extra task of these items. I wasn't looking for anything specific--I leave that to the professionals--so I gave them my colors. They were ready on time and picked up by a groomsman the morning of the wedding. They looked amazing and lasted the entire night! Thank you! I'll definitely come here for my future flower needs! Pictured is the groom's boutonniere. Our colors were blue and gold/yellow. read more

I ordered a vermala (indian lei) for a garland exchange between my parents for their 25th wedding anniversary and Marina did an excellent job. The ratio of white carnations vs. red roses was correct, the size and weight of the garland was also spot on. Marina was very professional in all aspects--I even asked her to email me a picture of what the final product would look like and she was able to deliver. Would definitely recommend! read more

I phoned Designs by Marina , 12/15/16 . My sister had a surgery 12/14/16. I was wanting to send flowers to her the next day . I left a message on their answering machine early in the day, expecting a call ...........No call . The next day still no call. So if you call Designs by Marina and you get the answering machine , hang up & call someone else because it's just not important to this company! Designs by Marina needs to have better customer service or maybe 1 employee that checks the answering machine ! I was really disappointed & took them out of my contacts. read more

I ordered a bouquet of roses and lilies 4 days before my girlfriend's birthday, and based on her reaction it turned out great! The bouquet had to be ready an hour before business opened for the day, but they worked with me to make sure it was available. Although the woman working the desk (maybe Marina?) was clearly busy, she did take some time to help me make design decisions and was generally helpful. That said, do your homework first. Be prepared with at least a general idea of what you want and the time it should be available. It also doesn't hurt to visit the shop personally to make sure the expectations are clear, but that applies to any business of this sort. I should also note this was a one time visit and I cannot gauge consistency, however the experience did exceed my expectations. read more

Mariana did such a wonderful arrangement for a funeral service. I just told her my budget and she put together this huge basket with 2 plants and some flowers in front and once the flowers die the plants can still be kept or planted. Love the touch of a butterfly coming out from the arrangement. read more

The reason for my low review comes from their sense of urgency or lack there of, I called Designs by Marina about 2 days ago to order a bouquet for my mother as a mothers day gift, she was out of the country for the official holiday. She just got back and was at home all day which is a rarity my mother is always everywhere but home so i thought to myself and said lets get her flowers!! well I called at around noon placed the order and she said that their delivery man was out but that they will get out shortly since my mothers house is not even a mile away. well lets fast forward to about 4:30 pm I call my brother and he said she hasn't received anything..... blah OK i call around 9am the next day gave my information to the person who answered the phone, I never got a call back or an update or an apology. I am really disappointed because i am so PRO small business, I would never look into order from 1800 pro flowers because I like to see neighborhoods thrive and give my hard earned money to the small businesses. I would like to point out that i am not upset because the flowers were not delivered but I am upset at the fact that they didn't find it important to inform me that they were not going out that day but they could take care of it the next day. or the day after that... I guess i will have to find another flower shop read more

Thx yelp! This was the closest place out running errands. I called first and asked how soon a condolence arrangement would be ready. She asked how far away I was and I replied I was already driving over. She quickly said ok and got to work. When I arrived she was almost done I only had to wait 5 minutes or so. $30 for a white rose condolence arrangement in a clear vase I consider a good deal and she only had a few minutes notice. Will come here again if I need another arrangement! read more

I hate to give a negative review, but I ordered a corsage here. We asked if they do something non-traditional and the woman who helped us said they do a bracelet type. We thought that would be simple and elegant. I picked it up and it looked beautiful, but honestly I should have taken it out of the box. However, I had read such amazing reviews I didn't think twice. Well when we finally took it out of the box I realized the flowers were being held by hot glue and within the first minute of putting it on a flower fell off, but we were hopeful it was just a fluke. While taking pictures another flower fell off. We couldn't believe it. She didn't even wear it to the dance because it fell apart. I called the shop to let them know what happened, no one answered so I left a message. Since it's prom season I didn't want it to happen to another girl. I didn't want anything from the shop, I wasn't asking for my money back or free flowers and I told them that. I just didn't want it to happen to anyone else. I left my phone number as well and asked them to call me back. No one ever called me back to apologize for what happened. Never an I'm sorry the corsage lasted less then 30 minutes. Kindness and empathy go a long way with me and they showed none. read more

Marina made my wedding bouquet and she did a gorgeous job. I wanted a small bouquet of Picasso calla lilies and had called a few places and their prices were ridiculous. Marina was extremely reasonable and she even gave us a matching boutinneire for free. The flowers were fresh and looked amazing. Highly recommend her. read more

Marina did our flowers for our wedding last summer through Electra Cruises, and I was very impressed at the variety and quality of the bouquets she put together. She has a fantastic eye and was very understanding when it came to my less-than-specific requests. She was able to capture the look I was going for at a great price. read more

I love buying flowers from them. They still have that personal customer service feel. They take the time out to ask what you really want and if you don't know what you want they assist you in figuring it out. Would definitely buy from them again. This is my go to flower shop from now on. read more

Marina's is wonderful. She never fails to deliver! Just give her an idea of what you want....she'll work her creative magic and at a reasonable price.

We have never been disappointed. 3 cheers and 6 stars for Marina! read more

There's a reason she has a bunch of 5 star reviews, people. My wife and I went to one local place to check flower prices/ packages for weddings, and got an OK vibe from them, but thought they were expensive. My mom knows of Marina through a former coworker, so we thought we'd check her out. AMAZING decision! We saved at least 100 dollars and got wayy better quality flowers. I loved how she worked with us via Email as well, and gave us some flower petals and the toss bouquet for free. Couldn't have been happier with our decision to go to Marina's! All of her tips were to make the experience better for us, not to make a buck. read more

She is very responsive which is always a plus. The flowers looked so beautiful on my special day and I would highly recommend her for any event! Thanks Marina! read more
