I got my wife a mixed bouquet for mother's Day, and ordered it a few days earlier. It was on time and a reasonably priced, and my wife was impressed with the variety of the bouquet. The lady was nice and attentive to what I requested. read more

I love supporting small businesses and have heard great things about this florist. I went in on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty chill. The floral spread was set up outside but it looked dark inside the building, so I wasn't sure if they were open or not. I opened the door and some sweet lady greeted me with a warm smile. The flowers were so big and beautiful. I bought a bouquet of what seemed to be jumbo red roses. Told her my partner doesn't like baby's breath, and she made such a pretty bouquet for me without it. I'll definitely be coming back to make more purchases in the future. read more

I had a terrific experience with Gladys at La Vie en Rose. I needed two "long and low" table arrangements for a rehearsal dinner I was organizing. I provided Gladys with the wedding color palette and pretty much no further instructions. She created two works of art! The arrangements were gorgeous and unique and matched the color palette in creative ways. Gladys is a dream to work with, and the price was right for such lovely work. read more

This 'flower boutique' is FABULOUS!! Run here to get your next bouquet, arrangement, gift, hostess gift. So many gorgeous flowers to choose from and bunches for $10 creates a wonderful & reasonably priced custom-mix bouquet! Ignore ALL of these old reviews, as this florist just reopened at new & extremely convenient location on Solano. A very lovely, considerate man cleaned flower stems & cut them & assembled in a beautifully wrapped paper with ribbon of choice. This place is a GEM GO!! read more

six stars! seven stars! More! We recently held a combined birthday/anniversary party and the flowers were very important to us. Gladys and the team at La Vie en Rose listened carefully and produced exquisite flower arrangements that caught the essence of our vision and with artistry exceeded our expectations - breath taking. Not only were the flowers luxuriously beautiful, but they were significantly less expensive than other local florists. read more

Ordered a bouquet to be delivered same day on 11/13/25. Received email from BloomNation that they were delivered. On 11/19/25 received email from La Vie en Rose Gladys that the order was ready to be delivered but I needed to call and give my credit card again?? No way I'm going to pay 2X for an order that was a week late. read more

Update about La Vie En Rose: I ordered flowers, they never arrived, and a week later I heard from the business owner that they had been out of town. I couldn't get my money back without filing a credit card dispute, the money had been paid and the flowers marked as delivered (through BloomNation) and La Vie En Rose actually fought the dispute even though they never delivered any flowers for me. I would definitely recommend not doing business with them. read more

It was Christmas morning and I was in the area, intent on visiting Ghost Ship - because not everyone was able to be home for the holidays (and they deserve to be remembered). This flower shop was open surprisingly, and I was greeted warmly. I told the lady I wanted to pay my respects and bring flowers, paying at or under $20. Because even though I didn't know anyone who passed personally in the fire, the feeling of knowing thirty-six families are without their loved ones, and that it could have been friends, or me, resonated. The lady handed me a HUGE poinsettia that she usually sells for $45, and only wanted $20. That, is why this is a five star rating. There's heart within this mom and pop shop. read more

PLS SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! I ordered what I thought would be a beautiful bouquet for mother's day. Paid $65, plus tax delivery etc. I asked the dasher to take a pic of the flowers once he picked them up. He sent me a picture and not only was I so disappointed but also embarrassed to have them delivered to my significant other's job for her fellow co-workers to see the bouquet of what looked like weeds. I've never been so disappointed, embarrassed and appalled by a florist till now. I was better off ordering through Safeway. NEVER AGAIN!! read more

My daughter and I wanted to get flowers for my wife for Mother's Day. I called La Vie en Rose to order the Parrot Tulips bouquet ($52). The woman who answered the phone said that she would need to substitute because she didn't have those tulips. We wanted tulips because we had lived in The Netherlands and my wife has grown to really like tulips. But if I could wait a day and pick up on Mother's Day, she would have the Parrot Tulips for us. I agreed to this plan. Today, on Mother's Day, my adult daughter went to pick up the flowers at the scheduled time. The woman did not have the Parrot Tulips and didn't have any flowers ready for us at all. The woman said she would "put something together". So after a 20 minute wait the woman came out again with a thrown together bouquet of different tulips (not Parrot Tulips) and that was that. We won't use this florist again. read more

Ordered a sympathy bouquet online for same day delivery. Two days later got an email saying "We are unable to do this order still out of town, sorry". I guess they forgot to turn off online ordering while they went on vacation. read more

Demanded money upfront in full for flowers I requested, but did not have them in store for me to view. I would have been fine with a deposit but there's no way I would pay over $200 for flowers I can't see. And on top of that, they say "we cant guarantee the flowers will be the same as what you are requesting". Had bad attitudes and bad customer service. I would never pay so much for flowers and you cant even guarantee that you'll have the flowers for me and they do not even offer refunds if the flowers they give you aren't correct! read more

Poor presentation, lack of clarity in policies, impatient customer service. Very few flowers or arrangements on display and you cannot enter the shop to get a good look. The florist started helpful, but became irate when asked questions about pricing, alternatives to flowers, and flower identification. She said she could order the flowers because she didn't have any in stock (surprise, surprise) but refused to order the flowers without a full no-cash payment upfront. There were no signs or any indication that cash payments would not be accepted, I feel like the implication was that she made this decision based on judgement. Of age? Color? The audacity of a customer to ask about policies on products and services? Suddenly, when I ask what the policy was is a customer is unsatisfied with flowers (or any product) that she demands full payment for upfront - oh she didn't want to do business anymore and walks away. Completely unprofessional. How dare a paying customer want to know there options before making a purchase! Go here if you want to give money to a terse, judgmental person who can't handle exercising a modicum of patience. I'll take my money to a friendlier, more customer service oriented business that allows me to see at least a sample of what I want to buy. read more

I've lived in the area for many years and would walk by her shop all the time. The storefront is unassuming and welcoming as most small flower shops might seem. However, it is the owner's amazingly fresh flowers and eye for color interesting arrangements (Gladys, I learned, is classical trained) that is truly standout. And just FYI, I've bought birthday bouquets, centerpieces and peonies for mom all from LVER. Worth every penny! read more

I would be VERY careful. She charged me twice for the same bouquet. When I confronted her, she apologized and said she'd give me a refund. A week later and no refund, I contacted Visa and got a refund. Then, when Visa contacted her, she apparently told them it was two orders, and Visa reinstated the duplicate charge. Perhaps COVID-19 has taken a toll and she needed the extra money. A shame, as I've done business with Gladys for years. But no more. Be VERY careful. read more

Definitely 5 stare flower shop in Bay Area! So far I had 2 different events, handed to Gladys for its flower design...!

Walk in and find hundreds of awesome arraignments that I promise you will be totally stunned by how gorgeous they are! If you want to impress, than Gladys flower shop can help you to do so! Very artisans to make you and your party great read more

I ordered flowers for my Great Grandmother on Easter day and was told they would be delivered by 6:00. at 9:30 they still hadn't been delivered nor had I heard anything from the shop! When I finally did get ahold of them, the lady was very rude and unprofessional. She never did receive the flowers and I had to get a refund the next day, so I was unable to get my grandmother anything. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS BUSINESS!!! Horrible customer service and terrible time management. read more

I ordered flowers on May 28 to be delivered Same Day and she only tried to get in touch with my friend 2 days after that. My friend was not home, but she offered to go pick it up that Monday. She called La Vie en Rose twice and I called twice as well, no response and no possibility to leave message either. The owner only calls me on June 8, 10 days afterwards! Blaming on my friend who was the one who wasn't home and offering me a credit. I refused it because I was so appalled with the Customer service, and she hang up on me on the phone! Horrible Terrible Customer service. She kept interrupting me constantly and blaming on everything. My friend unfortunately is grieving a death and it is inappropriate to attempt a second purchase of flowers and was very unsympathetic about it. Still to this day I did not get my money back nor the flowers. Truly appalling! read more

The best flower shop in the Bay Area. I have been coming here for years and love the selection and customer service. I always get a beautiful bouquet for a very reasonable price . I'll be coming back for many more years read more

I have used this flower shop twice for gifts to my girlfriend. Each time the bouquets were spectacular and greatly exceeded my expectations. Thanks! read more

This is cute shop with high quality flowers that last so much longer than ones I've purchased at other shops. The teenager named Francis working there is a gem, and the owner is sweet. They work hard to make original bouquets and keep the shop spotless. read more

I had a bad experience with this florist. I bought an orchid from the shop's owner. Two days later one of the blossoms withered and fell off which indicated the others would do the same because it was not a fresh orchid. I called the owner, she told me when she would be at the shop, but she did not show up to see the plant after agreeing twice to meet me. She finally just said she would not exchange the plant or refund the money. I even wrote her a letter asking for an appointment to show her the plant but I never heard a word. This was such an unprofessional, bad experience. read more

This is such an amazing little flower shop. Although there are several florists in the Solano area, this place is my absolute favorite. The woman that owns/works there is so incredibly sweet and does such a phenomenal job taking care of all the flowers. That may not seem like a big deal, but take my word for it. You won't find dull or dying flowers here. You can rely on getting a wide array of FRESH cut flowers that will continue blooming beautifully over the next couple days in your presence. Or you can buy an exotic, healthy orchid amongst the many different orchids that are there as well. All the potted plants especially, are watered and cared for with so much love. You can tell because there is never inches of dust on the leaves of the different plants. Its the little details that matter when looking for the right arrangement. Its fun picking out a different bouquet of unique flowers each time I go there. You can be sure to find the right match for any occasion. It is a bit pricey, but considering the business is on Solano avenue, I can understand. Also, you are paying for quality, rarity, and style. Ultimately, the best part about this place is all the nuanced loving detail put into every arrangement by the owner. I appreciate art and talent when I see it. Go crazy with colorful ribbons, themed tissue paper backing, or different presentation styles. You can count on an getting an eye popping arrangement of flowers that you'll never find at your average grocery store at half the price (or half the life). read more

I saw Christmas table table arrangements on a display stand outside the shop and decided to support a local business and buy one. On closer inspection, I saw they weren't so interesting, and I ought to have walked away, but I still had the intention to support a local business. Then I realised that none of the items had price tags so I had to ask how much they cost. They lady in the shop said she didn't know and would have to call the owner. I ought to have walked away, but stayed while she called 'the owner'. She talked in Spanish and I did not understand the conversation. The price for 2 pieces of wood in a basket with a cheap velvet bow was $35! I ought to have walked away. But I did buy something that I now regret. It's my own fault. Caveat Emptor. Buyer beware. And I realised only later that I have seen the same lady in the shop every time I pass the shop and she certainly acts as if SHE is indeed the owner. I feel I've been had, but I can't blame anybody but myself. read more

I really don't understand why some other florists think that I want drab, wilting flowers on my table. I'm sorry, but hiding those ugly ones in the back aren't going to trick me. I've recently started to get flowers for my dining table on a regular basis, and after three visits to La vie en rose, I'm very happy to say that I think I've found the best local flower shop for my needs. The prices are reasonable, and their flowers are always so bright, fresh, and gorgeous without a single wilting petal in sight. The sunflowers in particular have been superb(both yellow and red ones). I'm definitely walking by to get some more tomorrow. read more

I went to La Vie En Rose last night to get some last minute Valentine's Day flowers for my wife and daughters. I knew that Gloria, the owner, took extra care in doing her flower arrangements and that these would be much better than a run-of-the-mill flower shop, but I had not yet experienced this first hand. I needed to get three different arrangements, one for each person, that were each different and fit their personalities and preferences. Gloria created a unique arrangement for each, and they all came out fabulous! My 14 year-old daughter was thrilled with her "pinks", and my wife commented on the stunning beauty of her "tropicals". I would highly recommend La Vie En Rose to anyone who values wonderful flowers, attention to detail, and personalized service. read more

Was the highlight of my whole wedding. Our flowers were absolutely gorgeous. She delivered them to the hotel where we were getting ready and it was way out of the way. The flowers smelled so beautiful and I continue to get compliments on the centerpieces. I would highly recommend this shop for any big occasion and/or wedding. BTW...very reliable and creative... read more

It is VERY difficult to find a florist open on Sundays. I was very excited to find this place that said on Monday that she would be able to fulfill my hydrangea order to be picked up on Sunday. I pay upfront and agree that the flowers will be ready at a designated time for a very important event. I arrive Sunday at our scheduled time, and the owner acts like she doesn't recognize me and doesn't even know what I ordered. I show her my receipt (thank goodness I had foresight to request one) and she says she doesn't have the flowers and that I should choose from the other ones. I explained, this was not our business agreement and these other flowers are not what I designed for. She says all the hydrangeas are wilted but I can get my money back. I immediately request my money back. While she takes 20 minutes to handle a refund, I realize I am now becoming late for my event and must leave, but will return later for the refund. I end up purchasing flowers at the grocery store, unfortunately to say Safeway had fresher looking flowers than this florist. The next day I return to finish my refund, and she says it was complete on Sunday (which contradicts what she said on Sunday). A whole week later and I have not received a refund for flowers that the florist agreed to, but ultimately could not provide. Bad business and I do not recommend this florist. read more

Monday: I needed some flowers delivered for a birthday on Tuesday. The lady who answered the phone was very nice and thoughtful of my needs. The prices seemed very reasonable and she said she would do a fantastic job. I placed the order and will let everyone know what happens tomorrow. So this isn't tomorrow, but it is a follow up to my flower delivery. The flowers were beautiful and she was very surprised. I highly recommend La Vie En Rose in Albany and I plan to order from them again. You get a LOT for your money. read more

My friends daughter got a beautiful custom corsage made for her prom from here after I recommended la vi en rose

The bouquet of flowers i got from this store for my birthday took my breath away. Literally. not only the beauty of it but the quality and the abundance and verity of flowers, some of which i have only seen in boutiques and specialty stores... And then the assembly of flowers- so artistic and special, it was clear to me that whoever it was who has designed this bouquet, has done it with intention and attention to details, and has put love in it...This was not your usual flower arrangement- this was a celebration. Thank you. read more

I was not a picky bride about flowers--we only starting working on getting a florist about 6 weeks before the wedding this past summer. We went in and talked to Gladys at La Vie En Rose. The first meeting went fine, we received a reasonable quote and picked this flower shop over "Flowers by Anne" because we wanted to support a local shop (the prices were about the same). On the second visit, I realized she had some of the details wrong, so I corrected them. There were two things that I really wanted above all else and expressed them to her explicitly: no yellow flowers (at all) and my bride's bouquet needed to be true white--not off-white, not beige, not yellowish, not yellow---white! Well, on the wedding day, she showed up carrying a huge alter piece and asked where I wanted it. I didn't order an alter piece!! Now I was alarmed about what other details were wrong. I took a look at my bouquet--it was made up of different types of flowers (which is what I ordered), but the majority of the flowers were an off-white/yellowish color. I pulled out my bridesmaid's bouquets--they had some of the same flowers, but their flowers were white. I showed Gladys the different colors of "white" between the two bouquets and she told me they were the same. She acted confused (which I realized she does throughout the whole process when you point out something that is wrong/negative about her services), but I got nowhere with her. My wedding was going to start, so what could I do? My maid of honor then pointed out to me that La Vie En Rose included big stickers advertising their business on the buffet table flowers. What an elegant touch! We asked Gladys to remove the offensive stickers; she acted confused and asked us why we didn't want them. The stickers were holding on the ribbon that was part of the design and, since Gladys wouldn't help us to remove them, my maid of honor turned the ribbon so the sticker was facing the wall. Finally, on her way out, I find Gladys talking to my incredible cake maker/decorator Catherine (Black China Bakery). Catherine is beautifully arranging flowers on my cake (Gladys provided the flowers) and Gladys is asking her to send her digital photos of Catherine's work. It was then that it all clicked for me--do not trust the photos that La Vie En Rose shows you at their shop! They are probably other people's work--I got the impression that Gladys wanted to add Catherine's work to her own portfolio. Overall: -They got the details wrong and would not admit it (alter piece that I didn't order and yellow flowers bridal bouquet). -They use big, unattractive stickers to advertise their business on the flowers arrangements. -They act confused when you voice dissatisfaction about their errors. -They may take credit for other's work in their portfolio as they were asking my talented cake decorator to send digital pictures of her work with their flowers. I would never go to La Vie En Rose again. I had very low-level requirements and they were not able to meet them. If I had been a bride whom needed everything absolutely perfect, it would have ruined my wedding, plain and simple. read more

My husband bought me a mixed bouquet here this weekend that cost him about $40. There were a few high end flowers in it--a couple of roses and lilies--the rest were cheaper looking filler flowers--baby's breath, etc. Honestly, it looked like a $6 bouquet from Safeway, and the roses started to droop the next day. While I appreciated the gesture and I love fresh flowers, I was irritated that he wasted our money at this place. read more
