This cute little shop is always buzzing with the creation of their many specialty gift baskets. And always chock full of all types of made-in-Santa-Barbara items to make each gift basket even more special. I always find something new whenever I stop in. With their location right in the heart of Old Town Goleta, and plenty of parking all around them, their staff is always helpful in making sure each gift basket is special. Thank you to Coruna for helping make some serious gift basket decisions today. With this being the busy Christmas season, their wait time for specialty gift baskets can be up to a week . . . so plenty of time right now. They also have some pre-made gift baskets ready to go, which is always appreciated.

I spent $300 for "all the flowers" yet the quality was not there. I spent $80 for a smaller bouquet with another florist and it was a huge difference in quality. I also ordered a bunch of corsages from the florist and she did accommodate a bunch of last minute additions for my bridal crew, so I give her credit there, but she made them all white when I had requested colorful to be opposite the bridal color of white. Florist herself is nice but overall a bit disappointed in outcome.

She delivered them all to our rental in the morning and had it all packaged in a way that was easy to transport.

My husband likes to chat with Paul (the original owner) while I wander the rows. I especially like that they have a large selection of outdoor orchids.

For the last 3 years it has gotten worse each year, and this year, I did a walk-through in about 10 minutes since they had next to nothing and what they did have were at ridiculous prices with most of the greenhouse off limits. Very disappointing. Since Paul Gripp, the soul of the place, passed away in January, I assume its days are numbered, which was the rumor going around in March. A pity.

From our very first…read moreconversation, Kiara got my vision and somehow turned it into something even more beautiful than I imagined. The florals were stunning, thoughtfully designed, and truly elevated the entire look and feel of our wedding. Every bouquet, arrangement, and detail was flawless--fresh, elegant, and perfectly curated. I received so many compliments from guests, and I honestly couldn't stop admiring them myself. Beyond the incredible talent, the Blue Blossoms team was professional, kind, responsive, and a calming presence during the planning process (which is priceless for a bride!). If you're looking for florals that feel intentional, luxurious, and full of heart, Blue Blossoms is it. I'm beyond grateful to Kiara and her team for bringing so much beauty to one of the most special days of our lives. Highly, highly recommend

Not only did they NOT deliver the flowers on the 9th, but he received no call, no email or text stating that they would not be delivering them on the day he chose for them to be delivered. His girlfriend was going out of town the next day, so the 9th was the only day to be delivered where she could receive them. Regardless, he chose a delivery date and they did not deliver them. The next morning, she had already left for out of town and he was notified by her roommate that the flowers were delivered the NEXT DAY. Still, no phone call, no email or heads up that they were not delivered on the day he chose but took it upon themselves to deliver it when they felt like it. Completely unprofessional! Do NOT BUY FLOWERS FROM THEM! UPDATE: I called and spoke with the young girl who said she delivered them herself. She said that she delivered them at 8pm that night, but that she forgot to deliver them and went home and "did her thing" and then delivered them, although his girlfriend was home during that time and did not see them, so we know she delivered them on her way to work the next morning and tried to cover for herself. Either way, the flowers were left in her car all night long. Also, the flowers look nothing like the photo and my 9 year old could have done a better job.

They ghosted her request to deliver what they promised, except to Imply they weren't inclined to do anything. Just Flowers, the internet processor that sent them the order, agreed this was wrong and tried unsuccessfully to have them correct the problem.
