Janelle with Lavenders Flowers was amazing, my husband and I chose the A La Carte service and the whole process was so easy and I thought the pricing was reasonable. The day of my wedding the flowers were beautiful, the varieties and different shapes and textures Janelle chose were stunning, and complimentary to one another and held up so well during the day and several days after. And Janelle's delivery timing was exactly what she projected. Everything photographed really well, and Janelle was so personable, and easy to work with. Right away it was obvious she is experienced and confident with her work. I highly recommend Janelle and Lavenders Flowers. Thank you!! read more

Janelle was one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding because we cared a lot about the overall ~vibe and aesthetic of our wedding, and Janelle's talent was something we knew we could not go without. We went with Gathered by Lavenders, the semi-custom floral design option, and it was so ideal! It made the process so, SO easy for us while still being quite customizable and so beautiful. We had a few, quick phone consultations with Janelle in the months prior, and by the time we showed up to our venue for our wedding, the moodboards she had created early on had come to life in our reception space. We got so many compliments on how beautiful our reception was, and I know a huge part of that was the ambiance Janelle's art created. At the end of the night, our florals were free for guests to take, and they were nearly gone by the time Janelle came for clean up because everyone loved them so much. Thank you Janelle for helping us create our perfect evening! read more

So happy we went with Lavenders Flowers for our wedding day. Janelle & her team were perfection. From the original design deck, to our mock up, to our big day, everything was so seamless & Janelle completely understood our vision. The wedding day was more beautiful than I could have imagined. We loved Janelles wild free flowing center pieces and bouquets. We especially loved all of the various flowers she used. Each piece looked so unique while uniform with our theme & colors. read more

I used Janelle and her team as my wedding florist and she was the best vendor that I worked with. She did bouquets, flower girl wreath, cocktail juleps, large arrangements for my long tables, garland for some tables, a special head table garland, greenery for my chandeliers, and decorations for the guestbook table, some shelving in the venue, cake, and my custom mirror for seat assignments. I looked through the portfolios of dozens upon dozens of florists and either I found that people's work was either kind of tacky (pearls, high old-school arrangements, rhinestones, etc) or really generic e.g. eucalyptus greenery and the same really muted blush color tones in ALL their work. Janelle is an artist. She took my ideas seriously and listened to what I wanted, darker foliage, no dusty colors in the flowers, and then added really interesting textures and pops that made everything look both modern and classic. She placed votives, used her own stock of vases which I rented, and worked with me to redo my quote several times as I need to change scope. Communication with her was a bit slow at times because she is in high-demand but the result was fantastic. I want every bride to use her and other florists to copy her because I'm sick of the same old stuff at other weddings. Also, her studio is uber creative and a really hip place to visit for a meeting.

Lavenders Flowers is THE BEST!!! My wife and I got married last year in downtown LA and Janelle and her team at Lavenders were INCREDIBLE!!! They more than exceeded our expectations of what we wanted. We sort of gave Janelle the unrealistic description of "can you bring the outdoors inside -- with trees." But after Janelle showed me what she had in mind, I was wow'd! She offered the raddest solution that didn't involve us bringing in actual trees, and kept that price point down. We spoke initially with Janelle over the phone and she walked us through the entire wedding process. She gave honest answers as to what she thought would look good and what didn't. We trusted her completely. On the day of the wedding. I walked into the ceremony area (where the trees were) and was BLOWN AWAY! She made the concrete pillars in the loft look like pepper trees, and was able to make the floral backdrop look BEAUTIFUL! I teared up for sure. This was really happening. Janelle brought the outdoor inside -- with trees. She was gangster! Next came the set up for dinner. The tables looked incredible. There was so much attention to detail with her design, and the runner's she used were gorgeous. She dyed them herself. Photos were huge for us, and she worked so easily with the our video and photo teams, as well as our wedding coordinator. Janelle really locked in the entire look of our wedding, and made it so memorable. I would 100000% recommend her for anyone's wedding. Her style and work ethic are without question the best in the business. She is more than a florist, she's an artist, and she treats each aspect of the wedding with the care and delicacy that it deserves. She also made us look so dope, that our wedding made it into a blog. https://greenweddingshoes.com/modern-loft-wedding-in-downtown-los-angeles-andrea-cory/ HIRE LAVENDERS, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!! read more

I am completely OBSESSED with Janelle & Lavenders Flowers and their absolutely amazing, flawless and beautiful work. I hired Janelle for my wedding day florals way back in the beginning of 2013. Over the last year, she was always just a phone call or email away for any new idea that would pop into my head. She always had so much excitement for my wedding and truly put her heart into her work. I was completely blown away and taken back when she delievered all of the personal flowers to the Bridal Suite. I had recently put my dog of 19 years down prior to the wedding and she was very considerate and touched at the little charm I had made for my bouquet. When she handed me over that insanely beautiful arrangement of flowers, I broke down into tears of happiness and just overcome with so much joy. She just got it. Everything came to life with the help of Janelle and her amazing team of girls. Our arch for the ceremony looked like it was out of a fairytale, our reception was full of soft floral touches, and my bridesmaids bouquets gave just enough pop of color to tie it all in. You will NOT be disappointed with this company. I not only worked with such a great vendor, I came out of the experience with a new friend and someone who will always appreciate my crazy obsession with any type of flower. Our wedding was perfection!!!!!! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE JANELLE & LAVENDERS FLOWERS. I love her art and I love her personality! I started planning my wedding with flowers towards the bottom end of my priorities, but was quickly converted and convinced to invest in them as soon as I saw Janelle's work. Planning my wedding with her was fun and exciting, and not work at all. During my consult, I basically told her my wedding palette and themes I liked and my budget and that was all I ever had to say! From that point on, everything she came up with or showed me was exactly on point with my vision. I fell in love with every piece she put together, so she quickly gained my trust and I loved how I didn't need to be so involved in the artistry of my flowers during the entire planning process because everything she touched was beautiful. Janelle and her team were one of the best investments I made for my wedding, and my husband and I are so grateful we went with her. I would have a wedding all over again or any event whatsoever just as a reason to be surrounded by Janelle's floral art. She is extremely creative and innovative - always at least 10 steps ahead of whatever everyone in her industry is doing. Anyone to hire her is lucky to do so. Please really consider having any reason at all to hire Janelle for your special event. She's just absolutely a MUST HAVE in LIFE! Haha! She is so flexible in working with your preferences, but keep in mind that she is an artist so be open to her recommendations because she really has the eye and talent for what is beautiful, classic, and unique. She's got a great personality, is very organized and honest, and most of all, genuine. We are so thankful to her for working with us to fit our budget without compromising the quality, so that we could showcase her talent during our special day! read more

Lavenders Flowers - Janelle's beautiful work!! - Florists Near Me - Santa Ana, California

My husband and I were more than happy with our flowers from Lavenders for our wedding! Janelle and Kylie were amazing and always friendly and courteous with each email. I made a few changes and different requests in the months leading up to our wedding and they always replied as quickly as they could. They were very understanding of staying in budget and making sure everything was what we wanted. The whole process was super easy and when my flowers were delivered to the venue I was so happy I could cry. The centerpieces I ordered were beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned and described to them. The garland they made for our sweetheart table was stunning. Everyone was complimenting the flowers and they made the room so beautiful. Even the guy who delivered our flowers was so kind and helpful. Thank you so much for all of the time and help you put into making our flowers so perfect. Thank you! read more

This is one of those times you wish you could give 6 stars. Janelle is an incredible florist and business woman. I have worked with her on multiple occasions, from smaller bouquets for mother's day, to garlands during Christmastime, florals at a friends wedding, and finally florals on my own wedding day. For my wedding, Janelle traveled to Sayulita Mexico and helped create my dream of a jungle wedding. I did not give her much direction because I trusted her creativity, and I am so happy I did. After showing her a few pictures that I liked, she ran with it and created something so magical. She brought a few items from home with her on the plane, but otherwise foraged and purchased items from areas around our wedding venue. What she did was amazing! She is bold and creative and it shows through her work. As if that were not enough, she is also so kind, helpful, and really really easy to work with. Janelle and the girls at Lavenders Flowers are amazing and I am so thankful for them and their creative minds. Thank you!! https://www.stylemepretty.com/2018/07/06/sayulita-destination-wedding-magic-at-villa-amor/ read more

Do you know the FTD man? The one with winged sandals? Well, he's old now and needs to retire. Yes folks, that messenger of the gods will no longer be needed to bring your loved ones those hideous bouquets of scentless red roses and babys breath. Truth be told, I have searched high and low, to no avail, to find a decent florist in Orange County. I have never used the same one twice. Though I have managed to put together some very nice floral arrangements in the past, there was always a detail that was either cheesy, cheap, or lazy. Orange County finally has a replacement for that pesky FTD man, Lavenders Flowers. When I first saw Janelle's work I thought she was from Provence or Tuscany. Her floral arrangements were just too elegant, earthy, and exotic to resemble anything that you could get from a florist in your local mini mall. I called her up and she told me that she trained as an artist and she indeed lived in Italy. It shows. I kept my fingers crossed and asked Janelle if she would put together a simple flower arrangement for my mother's birthday. I was so thrilled when she said she would do it. She gave me two price points and I took the more expensive option. Her prices are very reasonable given the masterpiece that she made. The only directive I gave Janelle was that my mother preferred soft colors and muted tones. Flowers, I said, should not look like they came from a candy store. They should look like they came from a garden. When my mother got her flowers, I was stupified. They were perfect. They actually looked and smelled like real flowers and were beautifully arranged. Gone were the flowers from the world of mediocrity that we've all tolerated. Instead, my mom's flowers looked like they stepped out of a painting by Caravaggio. FTD man? I am clipping your wings. I am putting them on the back of Janelle at Lavenders Flowers. She's earned them. Thank you so much, Janelle. You're my angel. read more

Janelle was really wonderful to work with. I booked her over a year before my wedding but she always responded promptly to all of my questions, even when my wedding was still a really long time away. From the very beginning, I wanted to have lantern table centerpieces with flowers cascading out of the lanterns. Unfortunately, the lanterns I got were too narrow to achieve the cascading effect that I wanted and Janelle did not realize this until she started to make them for my wedding. Before I purchased the lanterns over a year ago, I did ask Janelle for recommended sizes and showed her various lanterns online as well as sample lantern flower arrangements to see if she had any recommendations; unfortunately, I don't think she realized the narrower lanterns would be a problem until she actually started making them. Nevertheless, she was still able to make very beautiful centerpiece arrangements with some flowers spilling into (instead of out of) the lanterns. I really appreciated the fact that she called me as soon as she realized this problem to ask me how I would like her to proceed and make sure I was okay with the necessary modifications. She really took the time to find out what I wanted to ensure that I was happy with all my flowers. Although they were not exactly what I visioned my centerpieces would look like, they were still very beautiful and I was able to take a few arrangements home to enjoy for a few days after the wedding since all of the centerpieces sit in a plastic tray. Janelle also made a GORGEOUS curly willow arch for me that came out of two giant rental urns and the willow branches were dotted with flower buds. The arch was so beautiful and made the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and sweetheart table. We also had a centerpiece for our sweetheart table that came in a rectangular wooden box and this arrangement lasted more than a week! For my bouquet, Janelle put in peonies, ranunculus,and other more expensive flowers so my bouquet stood out from the rest of the flowers. It was so pretty and I was going to try to dry it to preserve it, but someone stole my bouquet from our sweetheart table at the end of the night and left all the other flowers on the table untouched! I have never been so upset over flowers! That just goes to show how pretty the bouquet must have been for a guest to take it. Since I booked Janelle way in advance, I was able to lock in her old prices. Janelle honored those lower prices with no problems and I still received beautiful full arrangements. If you want a florist who will try her very best to create your floral vision, you should set up a meeting with Janelle. read more

I used lavenders flowers for my wedding a few weeks ago. This is an honest review not meant to bash lavenders or anyone who works there... in fact, the girls there were very sweet and gave us some great ideas to decorate our wedding venue without breaking the bank. I think they had the best intentions and are incredible florists. But I only expected a smooth process and perfect flowers because of all the 5 star reviews here and that was not at all my experience, so this is to help inform future brides since flowers are such an important part of a wedding and vendors can really decrease or really add stress in the wedding planning process (which is by nature already a very stressful time). First, let me just say Janelle is an incredible artist - the flowers she makes are gorgeous, she has a great eye for color and I LOVE the loose organic look of her arrangements which is why I picked lavenders. And my flowers in the end were gorgeous but they weren't what I asked for and the whole process of working with them from start to finish was at best bumpy and at worst, stressful and frustrating. When I first contacted them, they didn't call me at the time they said they would so I had to email them. Then they didn't get my proposal to me at the time they said they would so I had to email them. We had to change the contract a number of times, mostly because I was still trying to figure out exactly what I wanted, but there were a good handful of times that I caught mistakes in the contract that they had made - forgetting to include things or once including a $200 charge that should have been $50. I was repeatedly quoted different prices for the same items by different people working there. I was given the wrong address for the studio when I came in for a meeting. There seemed to be little to no communication between people working there which was hard to navigate. I have it recorded in my contract that my colors were plum, mauve, and peach. I had it this way from the beginning, I brought in pictures of flowers those colors to show her, and confirmed these colors repeatedly. I stopped by the studio a week before my wedding to pick up ribbon that were in these colors (the ribbon wasn't ready on time due to another failed communication between employees) and Janelle looked at the ribbon and said "Oh, that's a pretty color scheme" as if it were the first time she had seen/hear of it. My wedding flowers were not plum, mauve, and peach. There were some amnesia roses which are mauve and a few peach flowers but mostly they were different shades of pink - fuschia and blush. There was even some yellow?? Where this came from, I have no idea. Yellow is probably my least favorite color. Also my bridesmaids bouquets had ribbon on them which was not in my contract and it was also pink ribbon - I never chose this or discussed it with them. The boutonnieres for the guys came with no pins so my family was running to the store to buy safety pins on my wedding day. My mom specifically told them I was allergic to eucalyptus (makes my hands very itchy if I touch it) and there was seeded eucalyptus in all the arrangements and my bouquet so I had to take allergy pills. Luckily, even though the flowers and ribbon weren't what I expected, they didn't clash with anything on my wedding day and they were still beautiful in how they were arranged. But I could not in good conscience recommend lavenders to another bride because of how turbulent this process was and the fact that in the end I didn't get what I (clearly and repeatedly) asked for and paid for. The constant failed communication, the lack of professionalism and complete inattention to detail was frustrating and stressful. I think if they can fix some of these issues, lavenders will be extremely successful and have happier brides. But until then, I would take your time and money elsewhere to a florist who will listen to you. Even though none of these mistakes destroyed me or my wedding day, I really was invested in my flowers and I ended up disappointed (and a little itchy). read more

If you met me 3 years ago, I would have told you I don't really care for flowers. Most floral arrangements just seemed boring, repetitive and predictable. Then I met Janelle from Lavenders Flowers. Janelle is an artist and her medium is plants. When you talk to her, you really get the sense of how much she loves her products and goes out of her way to make sure everything is a masterpiece. I have bought many arrangements from her and I am blown away each and every single time. I've had the pleasure of watching Janelle work on floral arrangements and its is awesome! Not only is Janelle a great floral designer but she is also a great teacher. So if you want to learn how to make a centerpiece, floral crown or a wreath, take one of her workshops. Also, she recently moved from Fullerton to Santa Ana. Her new workspace at Logan Creative is awesome. She works alongside other artists with different trades. When I go to pick up arrangements, I get to see all the other art that she is surrounded by and leave that much more inspired! Thanks Janelle read more

Janelle is brilliant. Not only did she fit us into her busy schedule (she was working on 2 weddings), her creation made my daughter look like a goddess. We can not express our gratitude to this extraordinary missus. THANK YOU JANELLE. You will always have our business. read more

All I can say is that I feel so lucky and blessed to have had the opportunity to meet Janelle and have Lavenders Flowers be a part of my wedding day!!! From the moment I met Janelle, I knew that I had to work with her. Right off the bat you can see her passion, excitement, and genuine LOVE for what she does. When I entered that first meeting I felt like my ideas were scattered and all over the place and when I walked out I honestly felt all the stress and anxiety disappear. I just knew my flowers were going to be beautiful. She was so easy to work with and I was always able to get in contact with her whenever I had questions or just wanted to bounce ideas off of her. On my wedding day, I was completely amazed at what Janelle and Lavenders Flowers created!!! I get goosebumps thinking about them . She truly is an artist and has the special ability to take all of your suggestions and create something so unique and absolutely stunning!!! When she brought my bouquet to the bridal suite it was so much more beautiful than what I could have imagined and then I saw the arch that she created for the ceremony and I was completely blown away . Everything came together so perfectly and I owe it all to Janelle and Lavenders Flowers. Above being crazy talented, Janelle is a beautiful person inside and out who was put on this earth to create amazing things and spread her love and joy to everyone who meets her. read more

Janelle from Lavenders Flowers is absolutely amazing! She did all of the flowers for my January wedding, and with very little direction from me made my ceremony and reception so much more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. The initial consultation with Janelle was great, I felt like I understood her artistry and I was impressed with the color palette that she proposed. She was really enthusiastic about everything and it was infectious! She also worked closely with me through my many questions and budgetary revisions, never once losing patience with me or pressuring me into things that I didn't want to do or pay for. Everyone at my wedding loved the flowers and literally EVERYONE wanted to take an arrangement home! To this day, people still mention how beautiful the flowers were to me on a regular basis. Thank you SO much, Janelle, for making my wedding gorgeous! read more

Lavenders Flowers - Reception flowers - Florists Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I'm a bridal blogger and have high expectations for all vendors in the wedding industry, like any bride should. I reached out to this lavenders flowers because of the amazing yelp reviews. They responded with a quote on the same day which I was really happy about! However, ever since I sent them two inspiration pictures, I only received their automatic reply that they are "busy with other weddings for the weekend and will get back to us as soon as possible." It was been over a week and timing is everything! We have therefore booked with another vendor. I really wish they would email their clients more promptly. read more

I just recently got married (on the 17th!) and cannot express how absolutely GORGEOUS my flowers looked!

I met with Janelle and after almost two hours of talking I realized that she was exactly the florist I needed! I did not want anything too traditional nor did I want anything too trendy, and Janelle nailed it perfectly. The flowers came out absolutely beautiful!!! read more

Janelle made all of my wedding dreams come true!!! At first I thought I did not need to invest in flowers for the wedding but so glad I came to my senses. Janelle has an incredible eye and capable of turning the room into a romantic dream. I gave her a few guardrails but for the most part let her express herself creatively and I am so happy with the way everything turned out-from the gorgeous garland on our head table to each center piece with its own unique flair. She also assembled garland on the back of our vintage getaway car. There wasn't one person that didn't make a comment about how exquisite the flowers were. You can't go wrong by working with Janelle! read more

Janelle has an obvious talent and clear gift to frame a couple's most memorable day with the world's most beautiful flowers. I never knew flower arrangements positioned so precisely in arrangements only she could artistically visualize, contribute to an overall experience our guests will remember for a lifetime.

Thank you Janelle for all you have done. Thank you for your flexibility, amazing friendship, beautiful heart, and unparalleled talent. The footprint you leave behind will never be forgotten! For anyone looking for an amazing florist for a wedding or any other event, I couldn't recommend Janelle more. She is just incredible and I promise you, she is the best around!! read more

I knew from the moment I got engaged that Janelle at Lavenders Flowers was my very first choice to create the wedding of my dreams. I had followed her on social media and have a friend who also used her for her wedding. Her design sense and use of color and texture and attention to detail made me so excited for our first meeting. Janelle was very attentive to all the things on my wish list for my wedding. She completed a beautiful sample of what my wedding day flowers and table would look like, it was exactly what I expected and more.

Thanks again Janelle! You are my flower fairy angel! read more

I was incredibly happy that we chose Lavenders Flowers to provide the floral and decor for our wedding welcome dinner at Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara this September. My style is decidedly "anti-giant flower ball", and Lavenders was the perfect fit for striking a more elegant, organic, and rustic tone. My wedding planner and I provided a description of the general decor and feel we wanted for the welcome dinner, and then said "surprise us." Janelle delivered a magical and tasteful series of centerpieces, table accents, and cocktail arrangements that really made the atmosphere for the evening. I felt the pricing was reasonable given the quality of the arrangements delivered. Lavenders also provided throw pillows, trays, and lovely table runners to complement and match her floral arrangements. I continue to follower her Instagram account and dream excuses for a future party in SoCal so I can work with her again. Very highly recommended, especially if you would like a florist who can deliver magical results with little direction given. read more

Janelle of Lavenders Flowers was incredible to work with for my husband and my wedding. From our very first meeting she made me feel at ease with her design ability, aesthetic, and professionalism. She listened to my ideas while offering advice on design options. I also love that she uses local and California growers for her flowers. She and her team executed everything flawlessly for our wedding. The flowers on the wedding day were unbelievably beautiful and they surpassed all expectations. My bouquet was absolutely perfect, and was everything I asked for and more. Janelle transformed the wedding/reception venue with her floral arrangements and I heard nothing but positive things from our guests about how gorgeous the flowers were. Janelle has impeccable taste and using her was the best decision we made for our wedding. I would recommend Lavenders Flowers and Janelle to anyone looking for a florist for their big day! read more
