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.

Pierrette and her team did a fantastic job with my wedding floral design in July. Highly recommend…read more She did all florals: ceremony - a beautiful arch and bridal party florals, cocktail tables, welcome tables, dining tables. I gave her my vision with colors and flowers I liked / didn't - and she delivered exactly the feel I was going for. I loved my bridal bouquet especially. Icelandic poppies she selected were stunning, along with ranunculus, dahlias, garden roses, etc. Extremely custom. 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.

Mariam is AWESOME! We've had 4 deliveries done over the last couple of years, designers choice, and…read morewe have loved every one of them. It is SO NICE to have a local shop, that is not part of some 1800 ripoff company. My partner was a florist for 25 years, and warned me away from the big national folk, and Mariams' was the first one in the area whose arrangements my partner said looked good and up to snuff. Mariam has gone above and beyond, even doing a rush delivery for me, when she did not have to before a big holiday weekend, and everything is always perfect. Don't waste your bills anywhere else. I love these folks, and my family does too.

Her eye for arrangements are works of art and I am so honored and grateful for her talent. Working with Lisa has been a breeze - she's responsive, on top of timing/contract deadlines, and is super knowledgeable whenever I had questions or needed a 2nd opinion on all things florals/décor. Thank you so much for being a part of my wedding day, Lisa! We couldn't have had a picture perfect day without you and I'm so very grateful.

They say once a flower blooms it can be one of the most naturally beautiful things we can ever see…read more Well, if you are getting married and you want to find the right person to take these beautiful flowers and place them all around on your special day to make that day feel even more like a fairy tale, then Floralisa is the one you will want to book! Lisa is a master of her craft, and she brought that hi level of perfection to our wedding day. Being a flower person and home gardener myself, I have a love for beautiful natural looking arrangements. Once we found Floralisa and saw her style my wife and I knew that was exactly what we were going to get with Lisa. Looking for a florist for your wedding can be a daunting task for some. Trying to find that perfect florist to turn your wedding into that beautiful vision you have with that abundance of floral beauty that not only graces your tables, altars, and decorations, but that of yours and your guest memories that will last a lifetime! Where do we even start with Lisa and her company. She absolutely nailed the floral arrangements at our wedding. Every flower, leaf, filler, and vase she touched turned to a piece of absolute natural beauty. Her style is so natural and flowing that you almost feel like she dug up the plants and carefully placed them into your wedding day, minus the roots and dirt of course. Lisa is an awesome lady to work with. Once we first met with her over a video chat meeting, we knew she was the one that could bring our vision to reality. She was very informative, explaining to us all the flower options that would be available during the time of our wedding and giving input and ideas while still listening to our ideas and wants too. She has years of experience, and it shows. Even to our surprise our photographer had worked with Lisa before and told us the flowers at our wedding were going to be beautiful! We didn't need this reassurance, but it only let us know we had made the right choice. Lisa was amazing during the entire process. Leading up to the wedding we had many phone calls and emails to make sure that everything would be the way we wanted it for our special day. Lisa even went to our venue a couple weeks before our wedding to do a little reconnaissance mission as she had never done a wedding there. This is just Lisa. To be a master of your craft it takes little things like this, and that's what Lisa does to bring her clients the best of the best on the day of their wedding. You can tell that she spends just as much time picking the perfect flowers from her vendors as she does preparing them for her clients to ensure everything is as perfect as it can be. I will never forget the story my wife told me after our wedding of her coming down for our first look and seeing Lisa finishing setting up everything. My wife said she saw Lisa and all the true beauty she had brought to our special day, and she just started to tear up. She said Lisa saw her tearing up and started to tear up too. What better way to see a client's true happiness with your work than tears of joy over your hard work! At our wedding we had a scheduled time Lisa would arrive to do the tear down of everything. We ran a little behind and arranged an extra hour for our guests and us to enjoy the wedding a little longer. I had really forgotten about this set time for Lisa, but she never said anything and patiently waited for us that extra hour. When I saw her, I apologized and gave her a big hug thanking her for the beautiful work she had brought to our special day. It's a known fact that if you want beautiful fresh flowers for your wedding you will have to pay more for them. But my wife and I are here to tell you that Lisa won't disappoint you with her services. She is truly an expert in her craft, and she will bring a sense of true natural beauty to the biggest day of you and your spouse's life!

Sheryl was always willing to get on the phone and talk through each detail we wanted from the bouquets, table arrangements, to the fireplace mantle (which was absolutely stunning!! BTW!) The bouquets were perfection that morning for my bridesmaids and myself. They were like straight out of a fairytale Once we arrived at the reception I had no idea how everything would turn out since my Aunt and Sheryl were the ones setting up the decorations for me that day. I wanted to cry when I walked into the party to greet our guests. The whole venue looked like a dream It turned out even better than I had envisioned it months before. I'm so glad my friend recommended such a for my husband and me. Sheryl went above and beyond to make our wedding so beautiful and a day we will never ever forget! Thank you Thistle and Bone! I hope we can use you for another event one day again! Love Laura and Jekyns Pelaez

Sheryl is the best! She is a master at her craft and a wonderful person…read more Sheryl's designs are very current and unique. Not your normal cookie cutter flower arrangements. She makes conversation pieces, works of art! I had the pleasure of working with Sheryl at a wedding in Nov (2014). She did a great job working with the bride on a price within her budget while still creating very colorful and striking florals for the entire event space. Everything was stunning and really added to the ambiance of the wedding. Sheryl is amazing to work with. Her and her assistant were very professional, ahead of schedule, and efficient in their set up. The whole space came instantly alive with all the fall flowers and foliage. It was magical! Other pieces I've seen her do are so fun and whimsical. Each having their own personalities. I can't wait to see what she does next. I would recommend Thistle and Bone to any friend, family, or client. Perfect for weddings, parties, gifts, or just to add some beauty to your home. A true gem!

After giving her a few details, including what types of flowers we wanted, she called me back the same day with a proposal for each of the arrangements, given what I mentioned and what she's created before, as well as a final cost, which was definitely reasonable and turned out to be less than what all the other florists were asking for when we called. She also made different recommendations for the arrangements based on our price range, assuring us that a slightly less expensive option would still be beautiful. We wanted calla lilies, which, after calling multiple other florists, were potentially out of season, but because the family requested them, Nina helped us find some for the arrangements. We had multiple last minute requests too, from adding boutonnières to getting hundreds of extra stems of flowers, to having everything delivered a day earlier, and Nina was extremely accommodating and made all of them happen! After we placed the initial order, Nina finished everything within 5 days, even with these new requests. Thank you so much Nina for all your help, the flowers turned out absolutely beautiful, beyond what I could imagine!! They really brightened up the space. I called Nina based on the 1st review here on Yelp for her, and it was definitely the right choice! I highly recommend her as well for all your floral needs, especially in the Vallejo area!
