Lynn is amazing! We hired her as our florist for our wedding bouquets and reception dinner at the Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay (Ceremony is done separately at Stanford). She has a very good knowledge on flowers and provided valuable suggestions on picking the flowers and the theme color. We wanted specifically princess Kate's bouquet style, and she managed to make a beautiful one out of it. She also created simple and elegant bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages that match my bouquet for other wedding parties. The room decoration is also very nice. We are very satisfied with the white, light pink and green color themed centerpieces. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. read more

We were back at Long Branch Farms this last weekend for my daughter's bat mitzvah and decided to call upon Half Moon Flowers once again to help us with floral arrangements. We really leaned into the western theme and had deep dark brown table cloths and cow print runners, so we were looking for something that would bring in a color and femininity without losing the western charm. Half Moon Flowers really delivered! The arrangements were stunning and really added to the decor that we had planned for the event. We also had long farm tables, and I was worried about the arrangements looking sparse, but they made sure we had some large arrangements and smaller arrangements in between so there was great coverage all along the table scapes. She also did a stunning job on the arrangements for where we held the service. We were really so, so happy! Everyone took one home at the end of the night, and we are still enjoying the ones we brought home a little over a week later. read more

Lynn at Half Moon Flowers created the floral arrangements for my wedding this past weekend at the Oceano Hotel. They were, to say the least, AMAZING! My bridal bouquet, bridesmaid's bouquets, and floral archway piece were just beautiful. The boutonnieres that Lynn created were unique as well. Our centerpieces were also exactly how I had envisioned--and actually a bit improved from sample Lynn provided us a few months before our big day. To top it off, the flowers she provided for the cake table made our cake look so elegant. It was definitely one of the highlights of the reception room. Working with Lynn was relatively easy. I e-mailed her a bunch of photos for inspiration, and she incorporated all of my ideas into the arrangements. I told her what kind of flowers I liked and what kind of flowers I didn't like. I told Lynn a few weeks before the wedding that I suddenly didn't like the "flat" look of gerbera daisies, and she made sure she didn't incorporate gerberas in our final arrangements. Since my wedding was at the Oceano, it was also incredibly convenient to have Half Moon Flowers as my florist (they're located in the small shopping plaza attached to the Oceano). With any florist it's tough to envision what the final product will look like -- you might have photos for inspiration, but it's the florist that will take those photos, combine them with your comments and preferences, and create something beautiful for you. Lynn really exceeded my expectations. We received loads of compliments on our flowers from our guests! read more

Lynn is amazing and such a pleasure to work with! We got married at the Oceano Hotel in April and found her via their list of preferred vendors. We also wanted to hire someone local to the area so it worked out. Sometimes I have a hard time explaining what I want but Lynn took my random ramblings and brought my vision to life! She's super easy to work with and helped me create a unique ceremony and reception space for our wedding. She also made sure that I wasn't going over my budget. Every time I had a change or wanted to add something, she was very transparent about the cost and alternatives we could do to achieve the same vision without breaking the bank. She's also super flexible. Our original wedding date was August 2020 but had to postpone due to COVID. We were so glad we were able to rebook her for our April wedding. We also eloped toward the end of last year and Lynn also did my elopement bouquet. I will for sure be going to her again for all my floral needs! read more

We just had our wedding at the Oceano Hotel, right next door to Half Moon Flowers, this past Friday. I will post more pics when the photographer gets the professional ones to us. I just couldn't wait to leave a review! I had dragged my fiance to 5 other florist to start and none compared to Leila. Leila is the fairy godmother of brides! She worked with in our set budget, listened to all my ideas, and made our wedding look like we had spent 10x the amount we did. The thing I remember her saying the most is "Anything you want, you can have"... and she made it happen! You'd be crazy not to go with Leila for your wedding! Most the other places we checked out were too cookie cutter. All their ideas where the basically the same boring ideas I'd seen many times before. Thank you Leila for making such a big part of our wedding day go so beautifully and for not making me feel crazy wanting 4 colors, butterflies, and some rainbow roses! read more

Lynn is absolutely amazing! Stopped by her shop after I finished up at Highway 92 Succulents and I fell in love with her little store! She was busy preparing bouquets for Mother's Day which was the following day but she made sure to answer any and all questions I had! I picked a few flowers from her stock that I wanted in a bouquet for my mom and she worked her magic! She made sure to be keep my budget in mind too which was appreciated. I ended up with a stunning bouquet for my mom and a dried flower wall art piece that is absolutely gorgeous! I will definitely be stopping by the next time I go out that way! read more

Leila and Half Moon Flowers really helped make our wedding very special. We met Leila about 6 months before the wedding to discuss what we wanted. After the visit Leila followed up with a written contract on what we had agreed to. I felt confident that everything with respect to flowers was well taken care of and it was. My wife met Leila in the city to visit the flower market in the days leading up to the wedding and she had a great time. This type of personal service really makes the difference. We were completely at ease and were really looking forward to the flowers on the day. When the big day arrived it was great to see Leila again. We were all blown away with the arrangements. We had changed quite a few details leading up the the wedding (circular banquet tables became long tables for instance) and Leila just took it all in her stride. Even on the day we "surprised" her with a different seating arrangement for the ceremony but she just laughed and made the flowers work with the new seating. Leila incorporated everything we wanted (and we had some weird ideas) but she also added some little surprises herself...... we had wine barrels at the ceremony location and she made little arrangements with grapes in them to go on the barrels. It would have been so easy to just do flowers, but these little bits of thought really separates the good from the great. The other cool thing was that the bouquets were different from the flowers on the chairs, which were different from the buttons, which were different from the arrangements on the barrels, which were different from the table arrangements. Despite them being different and unique in their own way, there was a theme throughout them all that made them all gel with each other. Our goal was to have unique, non-cookie cutter flowers at our wedding, with some things we really wanted in them (thistles) and some creativity thrown in. We got this is bucket loads with Leila and Half Moon Flowers ! read more

Five stars for Lynn at Half Moon Flowers. My husband and I recently got married at Mavericks in Half Moon Bay and wanted to go with a local floral vendor. From our first meeting with Lynn, she really understood our vision - and more importantly our small budget. We made a number of changes during our planning due to our budget, but Lynn executed with exactly what we wanted. She remained flexible even with last minute changes. Our guests still talk about how amazing our arch was. Thanks so much Lynn for everything! read more

Half Moon Flowers - My amazing flowers! - Florists Near Me - Half Moon Bay, California

I worked with Leila for my wedding this past weekend and it was stunning! I basically have no clue when It comes to flowers so I just told her here is what I like, here's what I don't like, here are my colors. Leila took what little I gave her and turned my wedding into a beautiful dream land! I was stunned. At the end of the night I told my now husband "you know I'm not really one for caring about flowers but I wish there was a spell I could put on my bouquet. I never want it to die. I never want to let it go!" :) read more

Half Moon Flowers - My beautiful bouquet!!!! (The morning after) - Florists Near Me - Half Moon Bay, California

I worked with Leila to do the flowers for my wedding. It was a destination wedding and so everything was done remotely, mainly via email but the flowers came out absolutely gorgeous. I really wanted to use succulents and have kind of a garden, not so formal bouquets and she made that happen. I had hoped to incorporate coral peonies but they were out of season so she ensured me she would find a substitute which ended up being coral roses and although the rose is a more traditional flower than I would have asked for, it worked really well in the bouquets. The one bump in the road was the day of the wedding when the flowers got delivered and there was no hair piece for me. The deliverers called Leila who said she had no record of it but that she would quickly put something together for me. I had wanted a succulent for my hair - and she mentioned she used them all in my bouquets. She must have managed to dig up some tiny ones, because an hour and a half later that is what they came back with. They were more green than the blue-ish ones from my bouquets which I preferred but in the end it worked out, and I appreciated her working to immediately correct the situation. I would recommend Half Moon Flowers. read more

I'm very happy and to give Half Moon Flowers the highest accolades for their help with our wedding flowers. Lynn came to our rescue with very little notice, and decorated our venue on her day off. She provided amazing customer service, was a gem to work with, and all this at a very reasonable price. AND, the venue looked beautiful, with gorgeous flowers - just what we were looking for! Would definitely recommend Lynn and Half Moon Flowers! read more

We hired Half Moon Bay for our wedding this past November and my husband and I were beyond happy from their professional and the flowers were absolutely amazing.

They were also very friendly and easy to work with. The flowers at the wedding and in the pictures were amazing and everything we expected plus more I would very much recommend them and would hire them again! read more

I just got married in September and hired HMF for the awning, my bouquet, etc. Lynn was very responsive to my anxious bride emails and her integrity is unquestionable.

That is the sign of a true professional! read more

It's been 10 days since my wedding and the flowers still look fresh. read more

Half Moon Flowers did a great job creating bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, and flower arrangements for our wedding, which was held at the neighboring Oceano Hotel, in April. Leila Simms, the owner, was very friendly and wonderful to work with and struck a great balance of offering sage advice on and a tone of warmth and openness to my and my mother's ideas. She helped us select the best flowers for the season that also matched my slightly non-traditional approach. My bouquet was primarily made of peonies and roses, and my bridesmaids had smaller versions of the same. Our boutonnieres had tea roses and sweet peas. All the flowers were of amazing quality and held up for over 2 weeks after the wedding. I've been to many other weddings where the flowers were wilting the next day. Leila was also generous with her time and materials; she made a few extra arrangements the morning of the wedding at my mother's request, and even provided ribbons to decorate our chairs at the reception at no cost. Compared to other florists we met with, Leila was much friendlier and much more reasonably priced. Other florists expected me to have an exact vision of the flowers I wanted and offered no creative advice, which was very off-putting considering their prices. Leila was considerate, generous and put us at ease. Best of all, her flowers turned out gorgeous. read more

Leila at Half Moon Flowers is simply an incredible florist! She served as our florist for my wedding in April 2014 and my wife could not have been happier with the arrangements.

What a wonderful place this is! I had originally ordered my daughters prom corsage from Safeway (BIG mistake) as it was not wearable. I called Half Moon Flowers three hours before she was to leave for prom and explained my crisis. The owner whipped one up for me in 30 minutes and saved the night for my daughter. I can't begin to explain how thankful I am for her care and service. Thank you again! I know where I'm going for beautiful flowers from now on!! read more

We got married at Oceano Hotel which is just down the street and Nancy (the most wonderful wedding coordinator at Oceano) recommended Leila at Half Moon Flowers and she was so right! Leila and I did most of the planning over email as I was super busy as the wedding approached. I saw a bouquet online on their website and told her which one I wanted, then how many people in the bridal party and she took care of the rest. Day of the wedding Leila hand delivered the bridal bouquet to my room at Oceano and she did the most amazing job ever! The flowers were beautiful and perfectly colorful- and the bouquets were even better than I expected. Leila is amazing and I can't thank her enough!! read more

Every flower was simply perfect, every arrangment exactly or better than we discussed and hoped. I have posted a few of the many, many gorgeous arrangments we ordered.

We had my daughter's wedding at the Maverick Event Center and Leila did the flowers. The flowers were exquisite. Her bouquet was gardenias and roses and absolutely gorgeous. The bridesmaids flowers were outstanding. Leila made a beautiful entry way arrangement of white gladiolas, white hydrangeas and white orchids. The arrangement was outstanding. She also decorated our tables with candles and orchids submerged in water in tall vases. This was absolutely beautiful. Leila also decorated the archway with a gorgeous floral arrangement that hung beautifully. She got married under this beautiful arrangement. The flowers were very fresh and high quality. She made our daughter's wedding day exquisite. Leila is a true artist and perfectionist. She was absolutely a delight to work with. read more

Leila Simms and Half Moon Bay Flowers did an outstanding job with the flowers, indoors and out! She is the best! Her designs are incomparable and were aligned perfectly with the wishes of the bride and groom. A broken groom's boutineeer was replaced as soon as she discovered he broke it while at the beach for pictures. She was a total delight to work with through the planning and follow-up. I would not hesitate to recommend her and her execution of her designs to anyone for any event! read more

While I agree that her arrangements are excellent, I did not find her to be professional at all. I talked with her in February about making my bouquet in July. Maybe because it was a small job she didn't feel the need to pay attention to me. She kept telling me how "easy" things would be and "don't worry" and then went back on a promise of a delivery of the bouquet. There was no way I could drive to her on my wedding day. I had to have a friend of mine drive to her home and pick up the flowers while she wasn't there. He had to deal with her family and that was really awkward for him on top of causing me a lot of stress. I wasn't able to take my photos with my flowers. I also never got a receipt for payment even after I asked her for one. Overall, she's not worth the trouble she causes. And I did not appreciate her going back on an agreement. read more
