I've…read moretrusted them for every occasion, from Valentine's Day and Mother's Day to birthdays, weddings, and even more meaningful moments like funerals. Their floral designs are always absolutely breathtaking, and the flowers last far longer than expected, which really speaks to their quality and care. I've been using them for years! Isabella goes above and beyond every time, she's incredibly kind, attentive, and makes sure every detail is exactly how I envision it. The rest of the staff is just as warm and welcoming, making every visit such a great experience. What makes this place even more special is that it's a bit of a hidden gem, tucked in the back, you'll find unique vintage pieces that are so fun to browse. If you're looking for stunning flowers and amazing service, this is the place to go.

I cannot say enough good things about this small business. I have been coming here for a couple…read moreyears now for bouquets for any occasion. The girls who run this place are SO NICE AND WELCOMING!!! Every single time they make me feel so valued and apart of the flower process. Recently, I went in to get my best friend flowers for her birthday. The woman working said I could make my own bouquet and pick out the flowers but I kindly requested if she could because I just don't have a green thumb like that. She asked what my friend likes and I said "I'm not too sure but she's a really bright ball of sunshine and is my best friend so anything that could resemble that" and the result was this beautiful bouquet. Please come here and support them I love them so much!!

**Florals received look nothing like inspiration photos.

I could tell by her warm personality and passion for her job, that she truly cares about the work she does. Lisa is excellent and prompt with her communication and her prices are fair. I got a floral arrangement, 5 Boutonnières, a bridal bouquet, 6 (mini) bridesmaid bouquets, and a free throw bouquet all for under $800. I read in previous reviews that florals received look almost nothing like inspiration photos sent to her. My bridal bouquet looked sad. I was so disappointed because I thought it would be more full, but it contained more greenery than actual flowers. There was an attempt at the cascading look but really it just looked like a random long, piece of greenery hanging out. There was also one very oversized white rose that just looked so out of place and awkward. I liked the bridesmaids bouquets more than my own and even those had way too much greenery too. The groomsmen Boutonnières looked like they were for like a teenager; the rose bud was so tiny. All I requested was a white rose and some greenery. And then the groom's was supposed to be a little bigger than the groomsmen and she ended up using 2 daisy looking flowers. I even went back to my invoice and it indicates a rose for the groom's so I don't know why she used what she did. I'm going through my wedding photos and I'm honestly embarrassed, especially of my bridal bouquet. The only thing I truly liked was the floral arrangement that went on the gazebo, which I was relieved about because I was most nervous about that one and it was the most expensive piece. An issue we had was that it only came with 2 zip ties so we had a hard time installing it on the gazebo and got lucky our venue had extra zip ties. Why so stingy with zip ties? She provided a lot of loose garland and so I was confused why we couldn't get a few more zip ties. I don't regret using this business but I would not recommend to others.

We were referred to Designworks Florals by both our venue and our caterers, and boy were we glad we…read moredecided to listen to those referrals! Lisa, the owner of Designworks Florals, was quick to respond and set up an in-person discussion so that she could help bring our vision to life. We met Lisa at her home studio, and got straight to work figuring out what pieces we would need and what they should look like. As a bride and groom who walked into this meeting with a barely formed idea of what flowers we might want at our wedding, we walked away with a vision for the entire wedding in our heads and a contract signed with Designworks Florals. Up until the point of meeting with Lisa, we had only booked the venue, the food and I had purchased my dress and picked the colors of my bridesmaid dress - nothing had been chosen with a particular theme in the mind, and there was a very real chance that our wedding would have been an assortment of mismatched pieces that just didn't fit together.. Her knowledge of our venue, attention to the details of my dress and the colors of my bridesmaids dresses along with my suggestion of succulents all came together like I had been working on a vision board for the wedding for the last year. She knew exactly what would work, and this was over 9 months before our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Lisa checked in regularly and worked with me to amend our wedding vision and materials required as necessary. Every email had a cheerful tone and was ended with a smiley face. As most brides know, planning a wedding can be stressful, and any amount of positivity and support can go a long way. Email exchanges with Lisa always made my day. The day of our wedding, we were absolutely blown away by all of the florals and little details provided by Designworks Florals. Lisa went above and beyond the things that were detailed in our quote. There were so many extras that I was not expecting that just made every corner, every nook and cranny of our ceremony and reception sites feel like were a part of the larger vision of our wedding. From the largest arrangements to the smallest of boutonnieres everything was perfect. I would not have changed a single thing. I'm so thankful to have connected with Lisa and Designworks florals, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a stellar florist for their wedding or event.

I need floral arrangements three to five times per year: for Valentine's Day; my wife's birthday;…read moreour anniversary; and occasionally, Thanksgiving or Christmas. For the longest time, I relied on Florabella to provide me with creative arrangements made from what were often unusual and difficult-to-find flowers. The business was well-organized and kept its schedule reliably, attractive traits to a nerd such as myself, and it sold its creations at a reasonable price. I could drop off a vase at the shop, conveniently located in Bay Ho, and, a few days later, either pick up my flowers or have them delivered to my house. However, by fall of 2019, owners Sarah Newstead and Jennifer Bull were gone, and the shop had moved from San Diego to Coronado Island, a virtual world away from the one I inhabit. Prices had risen, phone calls were no longer promptly returned, and the whole enterprise began to feel desperate and amateurish, like Mom had left the kids in charge, and maybe they were in a little over their heads. So I've stopped using Florabella, because, in the immortal words of Kimberly "Sweet Brown" Wilkins, "Ain't nobody got time for that." I grant that some of my hesitation may stem from an age-related aversion to change, and that your experience with the "new" Florabella may differ from mine, but, nevertheless, buyer beware and all that...
