I was SO excited for the recipients to receive these for Mother's Day. I spoke with "Macy". I called in to see if they were still accepting orders. She let me know they were. Said to go to website & then text her what I wanted. Asked the recipients names, and where to be delivered, and message for the card. Why did this shop leave 1 note? But leave the other card absolutely and completely blank? It was literally 6 words. 1 recipient is not known in the area. The other, is widely known. It should not matter who the recipients are. They should get equal treatment. Not to mention I gave directions. They delivered it NEXT DOOR. Can't miss the numbers on the front. What happened? Was SO excited to leave a review. Feels like I paid and florist decided who got words & who got a blank card. Thankfully I was able to retrieve BOTH orders from next door neighbor. So disappointed. read more

So I'll start with customer service : I walk up to this cute dried flower shop with a poster in the window "we stand with our immigrant neighbors/ workers " so I think ok I'll shop here ! Boy was I wrong I walk in (btw I'm dark skinned black hair -Hispanic if you will) looking around for about ohh 5min or before I'm even acknowledged by anyone, so I asked the gal not sure her name her opinion for a small focal point she didn't seem like she wanted to help me so I picked 2 small bouquets out myself, went up paid for them walk out without a thank you etc looked at my receipt OVERCHARGED!! Went back in advised I was overcharged and gal was like well it's only like 5$ ONLY ONLY we'll make it right your sign says one thing but you charge another ! I WILL NEVER GIVE THIS BUSINESS ANOTHER DIME !!! you shouldn't either unless you like to be treated like shit and pay for overpriced dried flowers ! I tried to support local read more

this store is too cute! i walked in and just got stuck looking at every single arrangement and admiring all the beautiful decor pieces. i wish i could've bought all the floral arrangements but it is pretty pricey so i landed on a yellow themed mini bouquet with a pastel yellow vase. i've never bought a dried flower arrangement before so i had a few questions and the worker was really helpful showing me how to handle and care for them once i get home. my mini bouquet set was $56 before taxes. i think this is a fair price based on my limited experience with dried flowers but i do wish they were more affordable just so i could have a bunch more! the arrangements are truly beautiful and i love the different shades of dyed flowers. i'll definitely stop by anytime i'm in dt slo! read more

My partner went to a book signing event today & made a beautiful fall wreath for me, but was treated as if she absolutely didn't exist by the employees, even after trying to interact w/ them (which is their job, not hers.) If you're not a mid-aged white lady, don't come here unless you're cool w/ being treated like doodoo. I'd give 0 stars if I could, but I guess 1 works.. read more

I ordered the lark statement bouquet for $195. It looked absolutely nothing like the pictures on the website. When I sent pictures showing what I received verses what was advertised, they did not accept responsibility. They did say I could return it for a refund but it was a gift that was delivered to my mother's house. I wasn't going to make her box up and return the bouquet. The pictures showed a vibrant and beautiful bouquet with light and airy pastelle colors. She received all brown pieces from the bottom of the barrel. read more

Super easy to work with. We gave a couple of suggestions on colors, and they sent us a progress shot of the bouquet and then adjusted when we said we wanted a little more pink. The flowers were really stunning. Thank you! read more

I went yesterday to get some flowers to go along with a gift. There was not a big selection and the prices are very high. I found a mini 2 inch vase with a tiny bouquet for $28. Very expensive I won't be back. read more

Item shipped late, not happy with their reply to this, "not their issue", no refund or credit issued, and this was a birthday gift. Also vase was smashed upon receipt...their response, "do you want us to send a new one"....ahhhh, no we like the broken vase!! Was very disappointed with their customer service read more

The most beautiful dried flowers I have seen around. I am glad I don't need to go all the way to San Luis Obispo to get some bouquets as some local boutiques in Palo Alto cater them. The color palette of the bouquets is subtle, elegant yet fun. Gives an immense pleasure to the eyes and the flowers last forever if you don't touch them. I also like the type of wrapping they use. I definitively will order some stuff from their online store as they have gift bundles with flowers included very pretty. read more

Fantastic arrangements, delivered on the requested date and easy to work with. Highly recommended and will definitely be back!

Ordered flowers for my wedding, both a bridal bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets. Everything arrived perfectly and and matched the color palleted described online. Macy was great to work with for my bouquet, sent pictures, and made adjustments as needed. Shipped in a timely matter for the wedding, and arrived packaged really well to protect the florals. Great value for the cost and everyone was so happy they could keep their flowers forever! read more

Wonderful gift shop from baby to adult! Amazing selection of dried florals, soaps, candles, etc.

I absolutely love Idlewild Floral. Their flowers are beautiful and hold up for a long time. I first found them when I was seeking individual dried flowers so that I could make my own arrangements. The arrangements still look great after 2 years. Recently I purchased several different bouquets for friends. They all loved the taste of the arrangements and I know they will last a long time. The most recent purchase is that I subscribed to the flower of the season club. I received my first bouquet and love it. I must also mention that their shipping is immediate and that the flowers arrive in a beautiful box. I have had occasion to call them, which was also a pleasant and helpful experience. Idlewild Floral gets 5 stars plus in my book! read more

Macy is amazing! I forwarded a photo of what my daughter wanted for a wedding bouquet and she re-created a beautiful arrangement. It was shipped and received perfectly. The cost was reasonable and the workmanship was exquisite. I highly recommend Idlewild Floral. read more

I ordered their white bridal flower crown for my wedding, and I was so excited because I used all their flowers for the rest of my wedding and they were gorgeous, but my crown was super disappointing and nothing like the photo they had online. The one online had greenery and beautiful white neutral color flowers. Mine came with what looked like dead brown flowers, no greenery at all and it was not full like the photo looked. I was so disappointed because not only did I spend $100 on it, but my wedding was in 3 days so I didn't want to hassle getting a new one. I ended up just picking out the ugly flowers to make it look white and wore it anyway, but what I got was definitely not worth $100 and looked absolutely nothing like what they advertised. The flower crown I ordered for my flower girl looked better than what they gave me as a the bride. read more

Cute selection but I don't appreciate the employee immediately coming from behind the counter to follow my kids and I around the store and WATCH us like a hawk, like my 4 year old were planning on stealing something. As soon we walked out, she ran over to check the shelves, like she assumed we stole something, then immediately went back behind the counter. Way to make someone feel welcomed in your store​​ read more

If you want to drop over $200 and be treated like a filthy piece of crap by the complete snob working there, then this is the place for you. Beautiful things, sure, but wow do they HATE their customers. My daughter and her friends have all had the same experiences. Guess they have enough online business they get super irritated if somebody dares to interrupt them in their shop. read more

My teen daughter and I went to Idlewild because I wanted to buy some items for a gift basket I'm making. The initial hello greeting was great, but as I was checking out the lady who rung me up was so unfriendly in tone and attitude. I really like this store and had only been in a couple of times, but I will not go back after today. I'm a friendly person. My daughter and I were having a great time looking around, but the lady's attitude ruined the store for us. My teen even mentioned how unfriendly the lady was as we were leaving. Every place we visited afterward from Cal Poly Downtown, Moondoggies, Lululemon, to Blue Harvest was a great customer service experience with friendly and welcoming employees! Such a contrast from how we were treated at Idlewild. read more

Beautiful bouquets, great customer service. A lot of options and very knowledgeable staff. Obsessed with this place!

Used them for my wedding archway flowers and they were STUNNING! Great, fast customer service too and arrived in San Diego in great shape. So thrilled. read more

Perfect! Called mid-day and asked if they could deliver an arrangement on the same day... "Yep, we'll do that!" Spoke to Michael, who took all of the info and said he'd have Carla do the arrangement. Had email confirmation quickly too. Excellent service! I probably lucked into a slow minute, but they were very helpful, nice to work with and luckily could accommodate my late request! Plus, received a text from recipient who loved the arrangement. Nice work! read more

Beautiful products and amazing service. I have had several occasions that required special product design and when the products arrived they were beautiful! Thank you!!! read more

I would not recommend this company to anybody. I paid in full for a year subscription, and yet I still get charged. After reaching out to the company multiple times via email, nothing in return but multiple charges on debt card. Flowers are poorly packed, you think the company would take a little pride in the product they are producing. But I'm more than certain that this review is going to be ignored like my emails about overcharges. read more

I chose this company for their location in Los Osos as I was moving to this charming small town. I was disappointed to learn that they were moving to a neighboring city. But irregardless the dried flowers worked out well. My need was not for a wedding but for staging my house that I was preparing to sell. These flowers traveled well in a suitcase. Then they added a lot as a suppliment to the fresh arrangements that I made. I would recommend dried flowers to stage as they last indefinitely. Although I didn't need that longevity, (the house sold in 6 days), I brought them with me to the new home in Los Osos. They will look great until dust overwhelms them. read more

Idlewild Floral offers stunning curation of the most gorgeous home goods, and their beautiful shop is one of my favorite spots to secure gifts and dried florals for my own home.

Idlewild is my go-to for any floral or gift-giving need! They have the most beautiful dried florals, as well as cute home decor. The staff are always super friendly and helpful whenever I go in. I also love the seasonal workshops they have - my mom and I had so much fun making fall wreaths there. Such a local treasure! read more

Came here to make a return for a friend and wasn't sure if the store was open I nicely asked the employee if they were open and she answered as if I was stupid... she had a terrible attitude! ( I didn't want to be rude and go in before she was ready! The store did not look open) The vibe in there was hostile and I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, she made the return seem like an inconvenience to her. My friends have had similar experiences with the same employee. Her bad attitude is scaring people away! Not friendly and weird vibes. Terrible customer service. :( read more

Overall, great experience. read more

Came in to the actual store today after being referred by a local event coordinator to look at possible dried flowers for upcoming wedding. The staff could not have been ruder or more dismissive to my daughter and her fiancé . As they were standing in the shop surrounded by all the flowers- no other customers- just them - asking about possible flowers for their nuptials, The lady told them to look on their website . Ummm, we flew in from the east coast and are in your actual flower shop asking actual questions to you about the actual flowers that are inches from you? And you tell us to look on your website !??! What the hell? I wouldn't buy anything from these people because they clearly care less about a human customer standing in front of them asking for help with what they are selling. It was very jarring to be treated so rudely for coming into a shop to give you business. Thanks for saving us from what clearly would have been a disaster. What the actual hell. read more
