First, I found Ivy last summer when i planned for a micro backyard wedding. I needed someone who can decorate my pergola as our backdrop. I reached out to Ivy and received a response quick. I sent her pictures of my backyard and what i had in mind, drafted what I envisioned roughly. Along with my limited budget. She told me not to worry, she will make my bouquet and pergola pretty. She even made a small boutonnière for my dog who was my ring bearer. She didn't disappoint. She and her assistant showed up on time in the morning off, it took them 2 hours to spruce up my backyard. The bouquet is so pretty. She gave me an upgrade! The pictures that I posted here speak for itself. So this year for Lunar New Year, I decided to order a new entryway flower arrangement. Again, she didn't disappoint! Soooo pretty. Love love her touch and selections. She will be my go to person when it comes to flowers. read more

Ivy was amazing! I showed up a few minutes after closing to pick up my Mother's Day flowers, and she kindly waited for me. I had my dog in one arm and only one free hand to carry a large flower arrangement. She helped carry the rest of my order to my car and made sure everything was placed securely. The arrangement was even more beautiful than the photos. Great service and gorgeous flowers! read more

Super disappointed by the recent order we placed. I understand flowers are not always in stock and available, but a light and airy choice that was a bit expensive, turned out to be heavy and dull and a big disappointment, especially with the vase choice. I might try them again. Just be warned, the photos on the website may be deceiving from reality. read more

We had Ivy handle our centerpieces for a company holiday party and she did a fantastic job! We told her that we were wanting burgundy flowers that looked festive and she exceeded our expectations! You could tell she put a lot of thought and care into designing our centerpieces and even adjusted the sizing to match our table size. Pricing is beyond reasonable and we got to keep the vases. I'd highly recommend Ivy for any of your events as she was professional, knowledgeable and able to provide great results without lots of back and forth. read more

If there's one person who knows my tastes, life, and has my trust, its Ivy. I've been going to her for various bouquets for the past 6 years. Whether it was for a thank you gift, my prom, or "I'm sorry you lost the Ms. Vietnam pageant and heres a bouquet thats Better than everyone else's!" , Ivy was happily there to make the flowers. Now, usually when I go in, Ivy asks me how much i'm willing to spend on the bouquet and she makes me a gorgeous bouquet with any amount I say. Whether it costs 10, 15, or 30 bucks, she sure knows how to arrange those flowers. Whenever i give someone flowers, I always ask myself, "Would I be happy if I got these flowers?" I'm a complete diva when it comes to flowers. Safeway bouquets? Nuh uh, you better not give me those! Costco? What do I look like, something mass produced? Ivy's flowers: original, elegant, pleasant, lovely. If I were a girl, I would want my boyfriend to always get me flowers from here...oh wait...Im bi. I want my future boyfriend to buy me flowers from here! :) Whether your event is big or small, Ivy will do it at a reasonable price with an outrageous amount of flowers. You'll have enough flowers to be pretty for weeks! She accepts cards too so you don't have to hunt for that annoying atm. So get out of safeway and stop by Flowers by Ivy, you won't be disappointed! read more

Flowers By Ivy - gorgeous sunflower vase! only $40 - Florists Near Me - San Jose, California

By far one of my favorite places to get flowers!!! Top quality flowers and arrangements! Super chill. Tons of selections. They organize and wrap each flower/bouquet with tons of care. The ladies there are so nice and they remember people very well. I personally love this place because of the ladies running it and because it is so convenient to walk to from SJSU. I have come in for multiple occasions for my girlfriend: anniversary, holidays, birthdays and even just because it's wednesday. I definitely recommend this place to other people. read more

Flowers By Ivy - Valentine's Bouquet!!! Carnations and roses!!! Beautiful! - Florists Near Me - San Jose, California

When I used to live in the area, this was my favorite and only florist! Ivy, her family, and her staff are all extremely sweet. They treat me like family each time I visited. Their floral arrangements are absolutely beautiful! I'd describe what and who they were for. She'd ask if there are any specific flowers I'd like or if I had a price range. She puts so much thought into her arrangements and the results show. I'm so sad I live in another city now and have not found a florist equal in skill as Ivy. In total, I've order 3 bouquets for separate occasions from her. I highly recommend this place to anyone. You will not be disappointed! read more

My husband and I searched on Yelp for a florist to create and deliver a flower arrangement for his mom's birthday. We found a couple and I contacted the others, but I decided to go with Ivy after speaking with her on the phone. She was very nice and sweet on the phone. I gave her very few guidelines, just that the flowers were for my mother-in-law's birthday. For about $82, Ivy created a beautiful flower arrangement and delivered the arrangement with no problem. And, most importantly, my MIL loved the flowers! Flowers by Ivy has a nice website (which I think you could also order online) and emails you an invoice after you make the purchase, which I thought was great and very professional. I would recommend Flowers by Ivy over any national flower delivery business any day! read more

Flowers By Ivy - Beautiful flower arrangement delivered to my mother-in-law's work for her birthday! - Florists Near Me - San Jose, California

This place gets 5 Stars for their bouquet and their customer service. My husband sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers to cheer me up after a family member was undergoing surgery. After a few days some flowers started to die off and once I removed them, I noticed a crack in the vase. I sent an email to Ivy and received an answer the same day apologizing for the vase. She had new vase delivered to my office within two days. That's what I call service. We will definitely continue to use this Flower in the future. Thanks for making your customers happy with your flowers and outstanding service. read more

My experience was not fully positive. I met with the owner in August for a consultation regarding my bridal flowers ( wedding in two days, Feb 9th). I came here because my mom had a good experience here so I thought "why not?". I enjoyed the consultation, she had beautiful ideas and she had me hooked! I told her I wanted to book her and I waited weeks to hear from her regarding moving forward on the deal. No word. I emailed and called. No answer. I was left high and dry with no florist and a high expectation for my flowers. I would have been okay if she would have been honest and professional by saying she was unable to accommodate me. Never again. read more

Ivy did the flower arrangements for my wedding two weeks ago. I couldn't be happier with our choice. We sat down with her for a pretty quick consult and she put together a few ideas based on what my wife wanted. We chose succulents with flowers mixed in (sorry I can't be more descriptive... will add a photo later). Our venue had a short set up window and Ivy and her team worked quick to make everything perfect. We got nothing but the compliments from our guests on the flowers many asked to take centerpieces home. read more

Ivy and her team just did the flowers for my wedding this past weekend. What an amazing job they did! I was blown away and their work was better than I could ever imagine. My bridal bouquet was the most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen! Ivy was really easy to work with. Any changes I wanted up until about a week before my wedding; she was able to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Ivy and her team if you're looking for a florist for your upcoming event. read more

Had flowers for my wedding Nov 2014. Ivy did a beautiful job. The flowers and colors were exactly what I wanted. I was very particular about color and she nailed it. I was beautiful. Added extra is that she is so very kind and so nice. She is friendly and really understands what you are looking for. Easy to communicate with via phone or email and easy to work with. Highly recommend Ivy for your special occasion or any day flower needs. Located in downtown San Jose and there is a small parking lot in the back so convenient. read more

I am so glad I went with Flowers by Ivy. My floral arrangements were beautiful. I could not have asked for more. I had a flower emergency and she was able to save the day. She is so awesome! Her prices are fair and very reasonable. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a talented florist! Tip: I used monkey tails in my floral arrangements. Note that these are very delicate and can break off easily. read more

Not really happy with this place. I ordered flowers for delivery and upgraded the flowers it was supposed to have a vase but instead came with a cardboard box. I called and someone answered and said they would get back to me. Well a month later and they still haven't gotten back to me. I probably won't order again because you never know what you'll end up with. read more

I don't have the picture anymore of my first bouquet Ivy made me when I first moved to San Jose. I just stopped by her shop after my cousin had her baby and asked her to make me a small bouquet. She asked if I wanted a mason jar and charged me $20. I loved how it turned out! A year later I was throwing a small get together at my apartment and wanted some "bright" colored flowers to go along with my dark themed, kind've fall colored-tea party. I showed her a few different pictures but she must've thought I wanted something more traditional which is what she ended up giving me. They're beautiful flowers! but not what I was asking. Also, considering that I was giving her my own jars, I didn't think she'd charge me the price she did. I guess flowers are a pricey commodity! Come January, and I requested Ivy make me an arrangement for a friend of mine. I asked for something close to red and black. I brought her the mason jar and ribbon and she took care of the rest. It turned out super cute!! Thanks IVY!! read more

Seemed like a sweet lady and was so excited to meet with her but she basically closed up her shop on MLK day without telling me. I drove from Sacramento after a night of no sleep from work because my wedding is coming up fast. Came from Sacramento which took almost 3 hours to find she was closed. No one called me To cancel. Left two voicemails with no return call. Very sad and upset I drive a total of 5 hours for nothing. For reference, she had scheduled the appointment with me knowing it was MLK day. read more

I called Ivy's last Thursday to order an arrangement for a family friend's funeral service I was attending on Friday morning. I decided to go with Ivy's because of the stellar Yelp reviews and it was convenient for me (it is located right between my work and the funeral home). I emphasized that I needed to pick it up by 9:30 a.m. because I had to get back to work by 11. She said that was fine since she opens at 9. She sounded very The next morning I came with my mom only to find that the door was still locked. An elderly woman came and opened the door for us. I told her that I spoke with Ivy yesterday and had placed an order. She then proceeded to call Ivy and gave the phone to me to speak to her. Ivy said that she was running late and will be there in 15 minutes. My mom, who is a very traditional Vietnamese mom, was not happy. So I took her to get coffee while we waited. When we pulled up to the parking lot, Ivy just arrived. I came in and she apologized saying she was coming from SF and had intended to get to the store by 8. Blah blah blah...Okay, lady, it was 10. AND THEN she started working on the arrangement which took 15 minutes. Now I know flowers are pricey, but when I saw the whole 15-minute process and then paid the $65, I was even more irritated! And the arrangement wasn't anything special even though she said she would make it "nicer" or whatever. I am not going to return to this store because of the horrible experience. 40 minutes waiting for her to GET to the store, and 15 minutes watching her put the arrangement together...I might as well have gone to Safeway. read more

After looking here on Yelp for reviews on wedding florists, I called Ivy last Sunday to book a consultation. After reading the reviews on here, I was looking forward to meeting her and seeing her work. We made an appointment for this morning, (two days after we spoke,) and she never showed. I arrived five minutes early to our set appointment. I waited fifteen minutes and she never showed. Very disappointed in being "stood up". Very unprofessional. read more

Ivy did all my wedding day flowers and I couldn't be happier. I believe the pictures pretty much speak for itself. She was very professional, and sooo friendly, made my wedding day stressfree! 2 weeks before my wedding I met her at the flower market to finalize flower details, a day before the wedding she informed me that the orignal cala lilies she had intended to use for my bouquet was not as fresh as she hoped, she suggested me to go with mango colored ones instead. I listened to her and I'm glad I did. Her prices are very reasonable too! read more

We chose Ivy as our florist for our July 2011 wedding and we're so happy we went with her! I didn't realize choosing a florist would end up being such a hard feat, but we met with 5 and selecting Ivy was pretty easy. She was sweet, talented, professional and decently priced (rates fell right in the middle of our 5 florists). Ivy has a shop right in downtown San Jose; people think florists charge more if they own a shop, but they're wrong! She has a cute shop AND prices are fair, so there! At our initial meeting at her shop, we showed her photos of some arrangements we had in mind and she just starting picking them out of her fridge to show us combinations. It was so cool! She was constantly throwing new ideas out at us that were really modern and creative. You also get another meeting with her one month before the wedding so you can give the final deposit plus finalize all details so she can order the flowers. Then a week before the wedding, Ivy found me on GChat and started sending me the flowers that started arriving for the wedding. It was so neat, I loved it!! As a bride, of course you want a sneak peek at anything and everything so it was kind of Ivy to reach out and send me those photos. On the big day, Ivy and team were so prompt and really stayed under the radar which is exactly what you want anyway. She stayed through the ceremony to move the flowers inside for the reception and I honestly never even got a glimpse of her. I wish I did so I could say thank you in person but they were so efficient and quick that I didn't even notice them. We just received photos back from our photographer and I started noticing extra details that Ivy added in that we never even noticed or ordered, like an extra centerpiece at the cake table, orchids at the head table, and LED lights in every centerpiece. What a treat! Ivy is so sweet and extremely talented, I would recommend her to any bride and groom!! Thank you, Ivy!! read more

I was first introduced to Ivy when someone sent me flowers for Valentine's Day. He was calling the order in and didn't have anything for reference. He told her that I did not like traditional roses, that I liked elegant and ethereal things. When her bouquet came, it was so beautiful. Being that it was Valentine's, most florists rush through their orders and the flowers are so so. My bouquet had lovely vintage pink roses with orchid sprays, succulents and more. It was a very elegant and refined arrangement. The color combination was very whimsical and the flower choices showed an attention to texture. It lasted for almost 2 weeks as well. On another occasion, my friend called me asking what to do if he forgot his gf's birthday. I told him to call Ivy and get flowers. He had no time as he was about to head into a long all-day deposition. No worries I told him, just call and tell her about his girlfriend. I get a text later telling me that she had saved his day -- she sent his girlfriend a very modern, ikebana-ish tulip arrangement, with very clean lines and bold colors. She even threw in some balloons. I can go on and on with more stories about other times I have ordered from her. I usually call the same day and tell her about the occasion, my friend's personalities, and she'll nail it and gets it to them in time. I've ordered for older women, younger, friends, and I'm always beyond happy with my gift. It's her choice of colors, textures, and variation of arranging styles that make her arrangements stand out. She can do elegant, modern, vintage, and more. All this and I have never once stepped foot into her store as I only order over the phone. And today, I get a surprise arrangement from Ivy herself. She had leftover flowers from a wedding and remembered that I liked dahlias. Instead of letting it go to waste, she sent it over to my office in a really lovely pink and orange bouquet with a rustic country feeling and burlap vase. Now THAT is customer service beyond all expectations and a genuine love of flowers. I'll post flower pixes soon! read more

I've considered just leaving a review that said "Just use Ivy. Just do it" because it's really as simple as that. And I didn't want to clutter this simple thing with a bunch of reasons and explanations. But for those of you who need more than... Just use Ivy. Just do it... Here's what I have to say: I found Ivy on yelp (of course). I looked through several other florists on yelp. Many had good reviews and good things to say about the florists but the pictures just didn't show what I had in mind. Nothing unique. Just roses and tight bouquets and bleh. Well I didn't want that. I saw something different in Ivy's pictures and knew immediately that she was someone I had to have a meeting with. I was at first afraid that because her work looked more thought out and unique that her pricing would be out of my range. I walked into her shop worried that as much as I might love her, I wouldn't be able to afford her with my budget (a pretty low one, relatively speaking). And yes, I did love her. And YES, I COULD afford her. She basically told me that she'd work with my budget and BOY did she. (More on that later) In my first meeting with her, she wanted to get a sense of what I like and didn't like. I'm not much of a girly girl so I couldn't help her much on that. I did tell her however, a few things that I didn't like. Just from that, she got a sense of what kind of person I am (umm. not a girly girl). She pulled pictures from past weddings that she's done and I pointed out specific flowers or aspects of what she did that I liked. Told her rustic & romantic and that's really all she needed. She said, so you like this? YES. This? YES! Not this? RIGHT. Spot on. Anyway, we met a few more times and corresponded a few time between then and the wedding. Each time tweaking what I wanted (as I got to know my venue a little better). I have to say that I kept wanting more and more and worried about my budget. But she said, no problem. She can repurpose ceremony flowers for the reception. I was shocked! She really cared about what I wanted and wanted to give it all to me no matter what. You wonder about the logistics of such a thing as moving flowers from the ceremony to the reception? It went without a hitch. I know because I didn't know about it until I walked into the reception and there were flowers everywhere! In places I didn't even ask for because I knew it'd just add $$. She didn't just put the flowers there, she brought her own vases. 4 vases with flowers on the mantles of BOTH fireplaces. Our sweetheart table and cake table were decked out (tastefully). She added touches to my centerpieces. It set such an incredible atmosphere. So warm and light and romantic. For the cocktail hour, she had added just touches of flowers here and there - just enough to upgrade it from a venue to a wedding. Ok, I gotta go back to the ceremony for a second. In my research for wedding decor (pinterest!), I loved the idea of a chandelier hanging from the tree. My husband and I happened to find a venue where we could get married under a tree and I loved the idea of something hanging from the tree. Ivy already has all that stuff!! and charges a minimal amount (in my opinion - compared to me shopping for it, paying to rent it, dragging it to the wedding, finding someone to put it up and take it down and then dragging it back to the rental place) to bring it with her AND put it up herself (and with her crew). She waited till after the ceremony and took it down without interrupting a thing. I didn't even know when it was all done and she had gone (I was actually sad because I wanted to say THANKS IVY!! before she left). But I'm sure she just didn't want to interrupt anything. Another thing, Ivy will give it to you straight. I came to her for advice on the centerpiece and the "tree piece". For the centerpiece - no, that doesn't look good. do this. add this. - and it came out beautiful. For the "tree piece" - my fiance thinks that's a dumb idea. She said - why are you even asking him? Just do it! hahahha. and thank goodness I did! I've gotten so many compliments about my wedding. How beautiful it was, how romantic it felt. Only I know that's it's ALL because of Ivy and what her and her team did. She filled in the blanks everywhere (again, tastefully). More than we even discussed. And all the arrangements were EXACTLY what I wanted. EXACTLY. Ivy is more than a florist. I never did got to thank Ivy - Thank you Ivy for such an incredible job. Such incredible work. And helping it all go so seamlessly. You were my one stop shop for everything. Flowers, props, advice - and then you gave me some more. I never even knew I could even get all this in a florist - probably can't, unless it's you. Thanks Ivy. read more

I have to say, I'm sad to write this review. Ivy came highly recommended by a long time family friend. My dad had shared that I was newly engaged and she gushed to him about how great Ivy was with her flowers. I called and set an appointment and met her with my mom. She was prompt and the shoppe was clean and well organized. She had some incredible ideas, and listened to everything I wanted, including the items I did NOT like. I was eager to see some of her sample work and left her with my email address to send the photos and a quote, and had a pretty good feeling that I would like what she sent over. She was the first florist I had met with, and I was eager to see her plans. After 8 days, I wrote her and asked about the quote. I never heard anything. I let another 4 days go by and wrote her again, several days later she responded letting me know that she had been very busy, and she would get me the samples and quote soon. I emailed one last time, and never heard from her. It's unfortunate because she had some beautiful floral designs in her shoppe and I was so looking forward to seeing what she had to offer for me... read more

I ordered flowers for a surprise birthday party about a week ahead of time. I spoke with Ivy and told her I wasn't a big fan of fresh flowers in a basket. I told her I really liked contemporary arrangements and needed three of them for centerpieces to be delivered to The Old Spaghetti Factory in San Jose. I have to admit I'm a perfectionist so I was really worried ordering the flowers over the phone without seeing them first. Ivy told me not to worry she would make it look good. The flowers were delivered the minute she said they would be and when I saw the flowers they blew my mind. They were absolutely the most gorgeous arrangements I've ever seen! Every single person at the party commented on them and asked where I had gotten them. I would recommend Ivy to anyone and she will be my first pick for any flowers needed in the future. Thank you Ivy for making the party a success. read more

Easy to order, delivery as expected. flowers beautiful.

Horrible!!!! I was supposed to get a delivery on valentines day. Never showed up. Ruined the surprise. The driver lied and said he couldn't find me and I wasn't in the office. There are 10 people in this office at almost all times. Front desk also confirmed, no one attempted to deliver my flowers. Along comes Tuesday, guy calls my office, was extremely hard to understand and expects me to give him directions from wherever the hell he was. Good thing it wasn't a surprise, since he said it was a flower delivery for me. He hangs up. Flowers FINALLY show up. Now only are they already wilting, the card is wrong and incoherent. ABSOLUTE WORST read more

Easily the best looking arrangements and bouquets in the bay. This shop churns out some seriously fab looking material. I've been bargain hunting for flowers since middle school (yes, it goes back that far) and finally learned (in my late 20s) that you get what you pay for when it comes to flowers. You're not gonna get some thrown together red and pink cheese fest from the 70s here like you would at your local supermarket so don't expect supermarket prices. But you will get quality flowers, expertly arranged; and believe me, it makes a huge difference. As someone who never really cared for flowers I didn't think flowers could be elevated to this level until I met Ivy. These flowers have an aesthetic point of view, they're hip, modern, tasteful, trendy - definitely not cheesy. Eventually Flowers by Ivy did our wedding and I, along with all of our guests, was yet-again blown away by the styles. The photographers were gushing over the set up and the photos were eventually featured on a prominent wedding blog. My wife couldn't have been happier. read more

Ivy is amazing to work with. From our first initial consultation, we felt very at ease that she is going to make our wedding look beautiful the way we wanted. Then on the day of our wedding, she exceeded my wife expectation. One of the most stressful part of wedding planning is the flower arrangement. If you think you can save money by doing it yourself, don't do it. Go to Ivy and let her save you the time and money. Thats what she did for us. Ivy is a professional and is passionate a out what she does. As a vendor, she provided us with useful insight and input for our ideas. Her team are like clockwork, delivery the flowers and setting up the reception on time. Hint: her specialty is vintage, rustic bohemian style flower arrangement. think driftwood, kale and succulent. read more
