I cannot recommend Mona Floral Design enough. A few months ago, I found myself in a really…read moreunfortunate situation after trying to send birthday flowers to my friend. I had unknowingly been scammed by a third party florist website and lost over $100 on a bouquet that never actually existed. When I called Mona Floral Design to ask about the arrangement, Mona kindly explained that it wasn't one of her designs and that the company had been falsely advertising. After hearing what had happened, she personally reached out and offered to create a custom bouquet for my friend at a very reasonable price. I gladly accepted, and during my trip to Martinez, I had the pleasure of meeting her in person. From the moment we met, she was incredibly kind, welcoming, and so passionate about her work. She showed me where she keeps all of her beautiful flowers and plants and let me hand pick blooms to recreate something inspired by my friend's wedding bouquet. It was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Every flower felt thoughtfully chosen, and the arrangement perfectly reflected my friend's personality and style. After feeling discouraged from being scammed, Mona completely restored my faith with her generosity, compassion, and talent. My friend absolutely loved the bouquet, and it made the gift feel so much more meaningful because it had been created with such care. If you're looking for someone who truly loves what they do and genuinely cares about their clients, please support Mona Floral Design. Her passion, creativity, and kindness made such a lasting impression on me, and it's an experience I'll never forget. Thank you, Mona, for turning such a disappointing situation into something so beautiful. You helped create a gift that celebrated one of the most important friendships in my life, and I will always be grateful for that.

She has great attention to detail and worked with me on options for the ceremony and dining tables when I wasn't sure of the layout and needed to be flexible until closer to the day. Thank you Pierrette!

I called Thursday morning and spoke w/ Pierrette, who was very sweet, helpful and patient w/ the fact that I was not particularly organized in the morning. I told her our price point, and asked that it be delivered Friday. After some searching I found Kathy's address and phone number, and told Pierrette to use her artistic judgement as to the flowers and design. Tonight our couples book group met via Zoom. Kathy had the floral arrangement behind her so we could see it and it was indeed gorgeous. She was pleased w/ it and so were we. She took a photo of it and sent it to me at my request and I've posted it here so you can see it too. The process of ordering it was so smooth and easy. I would certainly use Petals and Stems again.

Someone then recommended B&B Floral and I stopped by their shop right away. I met with Jay, showed him pictures what wreaths the family wanted, including personalized ribbons, with no issues. I even entrusted Jay to make a corsage for Mom, which was beautifully made with a pink rose. I also referred B&B Floral to my friends and colleagues who wanted to send flowers to the service and they delivered! Even the succulent garden my coworkers ordered was beautifully made. After placing my order, I looked at their website and saw a wreath that I loved. Since it was the same price, Jay had no issues exchanging one of the wreaths with their design. My only regret was not ordering the casket spray from them which was more cost effective than what was ordered at the time we finalized Mom's services at the Funeral Home. Moral lesson, just go to B&B Floral you all your floral needs. Great local business, great value, with exception customer service!

I hired Daisy to create my bridal bouquet for my wedding. We had specifically discussed and agreed…read moreupon a white bouquet featuring peonies and lily of the valley. Two hours before our scheduled pickup, I received a call informing me that lily of the valley was unavailable. While I was disappointed, I understood that flower availability can sometimes be unpredictable and was willing to work with a substitute. However, when I arrived to pick up my bouquet, I discovered that not only was lily of the valley missing, but there were no peonies either. Instead, the bouquet contained flowers and yellow tones that were completely different from the all-white design we had discussed and approved. At no point was I informed that peonies would not be included, nor was I contacted to review or approve a revised design. Because this occurred the day before my wedding and only hours before pickup, I had no realistic opportunity to make alternative arrangements in advance. We felt pressured to accept the bouquet we were given because of the timing. Ultimately, I was so unhappy with the final product that I purchased a replacement bouquet. What was most disappointing was the lack of communication and professionalism throughout the process. Had I been notified earlier that the requested flowers could not be sourced, we could have discussed alternatives and approved a new design together. Instead, significant changes were made without our knowledge or consent. After returning from our honeymoon, I reached out to discuss the issue and request a refund. My message went unanswered. When my husband later spoke with her, our concerns were dismissed, and we were told that the flowers used were an "upgrade." Whether the replacement flowers were more expensive is beside the point--the bouquet delivered was not the bouquet we ordered or approved. We paid our invoice in full and even tipped before receiving the bouquet because we trusted that our wedding flowers would reflect what we had discussed. Unfortunately, the final product did not meet our expectations, and the lack of accountability afterward was equally disappointing. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this florist.

On top of that, I also love most flowers, so couldn't really help hone in on exact flower types. Thus with a huge blank slate to start off on, Kaylia took my vision and ran with it in the most beautiful way. She reassured me throughout the process with her design and vision boards, and everything I couldn't verbalize was right there in front of me in the best way possible. Kaylia had a knack for understanding the mood and demeanor of not just our wedding but myself. What I would like in my own personal bridal bouquet, the way it moved with me, and what would take my breath away on our table settings and everything else. Her attention to detail is next to none - from understanding the color schemes, as well as minor details like the best pedals for the flower girls to toss, and to wear in their hair. It was all a dream. Kaylia is also hilarious, great to work with, extremely professional and punctual and made everything so pleasant and fun. I love Tumbleweed and hope to use them again for any future events. Literally run - don't walk to book her for your events.

First off, the arrangements: we're talking show-stoppers, conversation-starters, "Where did you get that?!" kind of arrangements. It's like each bouquet tells a story, with every flower playing its part. Every arrangement is an adventure because you're bound to discover something new and breathtaking. They're the most unique, eye-catching varieties you've ever seen. And the flowers are picked at the perfect time so they stay fragrant long after they've arrived (often by bicycle!) and always last a surprisingly long time. Even their vases aren't just containers; they're pieces of art. Each vase complements their floral masterpieces in a way that elevates the whole arrangement. We're talking about unique shapes, textures, and colors that turn an already beautiful bouquet into a standout piece of decor. If you're looking to give a memorable gift that your recipient will rave about, make a statement, or just treat yourself to some beauty, Gorgeous and Green is THE place. Trust me, once you go Gorgeous and Green, there's no going back.

However, this last order really showed the difference between Gorgeous and Green and what you might get elsewhere. I had ordered flowers for my partner's birthday. Unfortunately, Pilar made a mistake and delivered the flowers several days early. Any person or business will eventually make a mistake, its much more telling how they handle these situations than whether or not they happen at all. Pilar immediately said "no problem, take these now and I will still deliver another arrangement on the correct date, no extra charge". No only did Pilar follow through on her commitment but the second arrangement was also unique and beautiful! I'm super appreciative of her dedication, craft, and thoughtful service. I will absolutely be getting more flowers from her in the future. Did I mention that every arrangement I've gotten always lasts well over a week? Surpassingly fabulous!
