Karen Brown is a visionary. She takes the time to understand what it is you want and gives you options on how to achieve those goals. We were blown out of the water with what she put together. Stunning is the word that comes to mind. read more

Flower Designs by Karen Brown - No detail was left uncovered. The thought and attention was amazing . - Florists Near Me

I've worked with Karen for 3 years. She delivers flowers to my office every week. To my delight, the arrangements are always original, beautiful and easily last the full week. I've also used Karen for special events. I really appreciated her attention to detail. She was very conscientious about making sure the arrangements not only met my needs but were also consistent with the theme of the party. I look forward to working with Karen for a long time to come! read more

My experience with Karen was OK, not great because of cost issues primarily. I was late to the floral game and only needed personal floral (bouquets/boutonnieres) -- I didn't use her for centerpieces -- so I thought her prices for the limited amount of flowers I needed were high. But my wedding was only a month away and she did deliver what was asked of her. The bouquets and boutonnieres looked a little limp, but overall were nice. I was pleased, but I would say there was a discrepancy between what I got and what I paid -- if I had gone somewhere else I could have gotten the same for much much less. Karen does say she is not the cheapest and won't be, so keep that in mind. Overall, I felt she was easy to work with and does stick to a budget if you give her one, however if you have an exact vision, you will pay a pretty penny for it. read more

Karen did a great job with the flowers for my wedding. After making a ton of changes up until the last minute she went with the flow and produced beautiful arrangements with the price limitations I had. I wanted something simple, elegant and with tons of color and she did exactly that. She had worked my wedding venue plenty of times and knew the place inside and out which made it a lot easier to try to explain the timeline and where I would need the flowers arranged. I never had any problem with her in regards to the contract, money, or communication. read more

Karen was absolutley the BEST florist I could have chosen for my daughter's wedding; however, when you choose Karen as your florist you also are obtaining a wedding coordinator and a pivotal team member to ensure that your wedding vision becomes reality. My daughter and I met with Karen several times at the wedding site-Silverado Resort in Napa. We shared our vision and some pictures. She insantly understood the theme we wanted and was so patient and calm as the mother of the bride and bride worked through- well you know .... mother and daughter discussions! Karen met with me at La Tavola linens and helped me choose the perfect linens. I was able to rely on her to ensure that the linen and chair rentals were correct and delivered on time, etc. Karen was at the resort on Saturday night at 8:00 pm (before the wedding on Sunday morning) to assist with set up... now is this a duty of a florist? No, but there she was working away and making it a fun night. Karen and her team arrived Sunday morning bright and early and words cannot express the beauty she created. The flowers were magnificent, original, and everything my daughter and I dreamed them to be... We had requested long, wooden boxes for some of the flower arrangement containers. Since she did not have those and they do not exist as a rental supply, her husband made the boxes and even whitewashed them to match the decor... now that is personal service. It was obvious from the beginning that Karen was truly invested in creating a beautiful wedding decor and because of her talents, kindness, and hard work she helped achieve a dream wedding! I could go on and on... everyone at the wedding commented on the flowers and everyone who met Karen fell in love with her! I am a very detailed and well demanding person when it comes to planning events and entertaining...Karen met my standards and beyond! read more

I agree with the bride below! Thankfully, though, I did not contract with Karen. I am planning my wedding long distance and after a 45 minute phone conference, I asked Karen for a face to face meeting. She said that she would meet with me but would not do any more work on my quote until I signed a contract...that should have been my first clue. She was quiet, seemingly indifferent and almost rude in our f2f meeting. I explained afterward that her bid, which was almost double most of my others, was just too high. I couldn't justify paying so much when others were willing to do the same work for less - and with a better personality! Her response to my email was appalling....see below: "After all I worked on for you along with meeting you in person I can't believe that you would have the audacity to hire another vendor. I told you prior to our meeting that I would not take any more time unless you were ready to hire me for my services with pricing prior to the meeting you really knew what things would cost then." Anyone that responds so violently to a simple email is obviously unprofessional. All in all, we had a 45 minute call and 60 minute mtg, hardly much to ask for potentially $6.5K in business. read more

I work for a local Napa Valley DMC and I hire Karen for all my floral decor needs. Her work is a talent to behold and she is the sweetest person to interact and work with. I believe that you get what you pay for and her costs perfectly correlate with what she produces. Give her a vision and a budget and she will not let you down. read more

Karen did a beautiful job with our flowers at Auberge Du Soleil. I was very clear about exactly what I wanted. I was very impressed how high quality the flowers were and the accent elements she did with greenery. I could tell that her flowers and design was very high end. I have included the pictures. She forgot 1 item on the day that I ordered so I have to give her 4 stars.. But she was great. read more

Karen is expensive, but worth every penny! She was my florist for my June 2016 Napa wedding. Her arrangements were exactly what I had in mind. She made each of the bridesmaid bouquets slightly different and unique. The arrangements on the tables and around the venue were just absolutely beautiful. The flowers she chose were fresh and smelled fantastic. Professionally, she was easy to contact, straight to the point, and was on time for the wedding day. It was the experience I hoped it would be and I am definitely recommending her for anyone with floral needs. read more

Karen Brown was easy to work with from a distance and was very professional and reasonably priced. Since I was planning wedding from afar - she put together some arrangements based on our conversations and sent me pictures for approval. I did not have to give much direction - she is an expert and put together the table settings and bouquets flawlessly. She worked directly with my venue before and during the event so that I had virtually nothing to do. I would highly recommend working with her - she is truly a professional and will work with you to make sure everything fits your vision. read more

We chose Karen Brown to do our daughter's wedding in Napa. We gave her a deposit and she disappeared on us. After 3 attempts to contact her and twice by our wedding coordinator we had to get another florist to do the wedding. I'm still looking for my deposit. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS FLORIST. If you do it's at your own risk. read more

I am a wedding consultant and floral designer in the Napa Valley. I have worked with Karen Brown and believe she is professional, courteous, and does lovely work. She also is very helpful when others need help and will pitch in where needed! I am sure that if a bride or family of a bride told her they were not happy she would bend over backwards to make it right. I also know she is very detailed and all potential clients have a copy of the proposed flowers used, etc. She is a good listener and uses that to design flowers for each of her clients. She works within a budget when given one and does her best to make your wedding day beautiful! I would not hesitate to recommend her. read more

I hope other brides check this sight so they don't make the same mistake I did by having Karen do their wedding flowers. I was a bride form out of the area ( I live in Chicago) and my mom found Karen through a referral. I flew in to see her and was 5 minutes late to our meeting due to not being familiar with the area and she left without calling or anything. We very clearly expressed our ideas and wishes for our flowers and even gave her exact pictures so she could just replicate the arrangements. I was looking for light and airy arrangements and they arrived very heavily packed with flowers and took on more of a funeral arrangement feel than happy wedding feel. She was extremely rude and felt she knew best, not taking anything I had said into consideration. I took anything off that was not absolutely necessary because of the cost and I live in Chicago which is somewhat similar in price to SF and her prices were very high. She told me she could not get hydrangea, that it would have to be imported, and I found that funny b/c a florist I met with in Chicago said it is available year round and I even found it at farmer markets in SF that weekend. My flowers and center pieces showed up on our wedding day and were nothing like I expected and hoped for. I was so sad. They looked nothing at all like the pictures and I had specifically asked for . I also asked for no pink or orange flowers to be used and they were all over in the center pieces. My flowers looked like funeral flowers! So I hope this is helpful to anyone considering her as their florist. I would look other places. read more

I got Karen Brown's name from a preferred list at Auberge du Soleil and compared her designs and prices to others on that list. After just a few emails, I had a good feeling about Karen and was in contract for my daughter's wedding. We reviewed a wide range of options via numerous emails and met in Napa to finalize things. It was our meeting in person well after signing the contract that got me really excited. Karen listened to what I wanted, listened to what my daughter wanted, and came up with a PERFECT plan for Altar designs, bouquets, centerpieces, etc. Things were quiet for a few months, then my daughter changed her mind and decided to cancel the centerpieces and use the in-house flowers at the venue. I shared our change in plan, and change in contract with Karen, and she was very Professional about it. Then 2 weeks before the wedding, my daughter decided she wanted to add Bride/Groom garlands and a cake topper - Karen again was Professional and reassuring and took care of the changes. Seeing her beautiful bouquets and boutonieres early in the day for the first look photos got us very excited for the altar flowers. When we arrived at the venue, Karen's Altar arrangements were spectacular! I got many compliments on our flowers during the night. The next day, I went back to the venue and brought the flowers from the Altar back to our hotel and used them for Sunday brunch and made small arrangements out of them for local family and friends to take home. The flowers we brought home lasted almost a full week. GREAT FLORIST, GREAT PERSON, Karen Brown was the best designer I could have had for our wedding! read more
