I searched Yelp and found Alameda Floral Design. I called and a very kind lady answered. I already knew what I wanted from looking at their website ahead of time and asked if they could have it ready today. I was expecting a yes but maybe later in the afternoon. Instead she said it would be ready in thirty minutes. The arrangement looked exactly like the photo online and the flowers were fresh and beautifully put together. The service, speed, and quality all exceeded my expectations. Prices are reasonable and the customer care is outstanding. I highly recommend this shop and will definitely return.

I called Bruce, the owner, to let him know what happened, and without hesitation he created a brand new bouquet just a few hours later and had it delivered the very same day. That level of customer service is incredibly rare these days. The replacement arrangement was beautiful, and most importantly, it put a huge smile on my friend's face on their special day. Thank you, Bruce, for going above and beyond. I'll definitely be ordering from Central Florist again!

I placed my order online the morning before the funeral, and they created and delivered a breathtaking standing spray that same day. Without my even asking, they coordinated with the funeral home to ensure it was also at the church for the celebration of life. Their kindness, compassion, and exceptional service meant more than I can say. Highly recommended.

I was happily surprised to learn that they attempted to make the delivery within 90 minutes of my placing the order. They called me to let me know that the recipient wasn't at work at that time. I gave them the home address for their prompt delivery. I received their video of the arrangement that they created as well as a photograph from the recipient and it was absolutely beautiful. And as if that were not enough positive things to say, it was very reasonably priced! The gentleman I dealt with over the phone, Mike, was extremely helpful and friendly.

Lana was our florist for our wedding, and if there was one thing we got the most compliments on, it…read morewas the absolutely STUNNING florals Lana and the Dream Flowers team put together. But it wasn't just the beauty of the arrangements that impressed me most - it was the heart, thought, and care that went into every single piece, and that really shined through on the day of. We inquired over a year in advance after seeing Lana's work at The Club at Ruby Hill wedding open house. Lana was responsive and took the time to go over everything I was envisioning for the day, from centerpieces to arches to aisle pieces to bouquets. When I brought up the idea of a floral chandelier, Lana was so excited to bring my vision to life and work with me to create the chandelier of my dreams, which was refreshing, since some other florists I'd inquired with weren't as enthusiastic about the idea. Lana is also super transparent with pricing, going through line by line what each piece would cost, and I found her rates very reasonable for the luxurious arrangements she offers. I also loved that I'd be able to reuse my ceremony arch and aisle pieces at the reception to surround the sweetheart table, which felt very much worth it. We also got a one-hour in-person design meeting with Lana about a month before the wedding, where she prepped a sample centerpiece and made real-time adjustments to her floral recipe based on our preferences. She was so receptive and detail-oriented, going over small things like where to leave the bouquets and boutonnieres on the day of, plus all the candle and centerpiece base options we could choose from. We were feeling a little burnt out from wedding planning by that point in our lives, but Lana left us with renewed enthusiasm and excitement for our wedding. On wedding day, Lana and her team were there bright and early. I think the first sight of the florals brought me to tears. They worked hard all day to transform the venue into the pink peachy princess wedding of my dreams. The team also added smaller bud vases to my In Loving Memory table and Sweetheart table, which was such a sweet touch. Despite being so busy, Lana still took the time to secure my personal bouquet charm so it wouldn't dangle around and would stay in place. I also found out afterward that our welcome banner was falling due to the wind, and Lana took the time to secure it with rope, even though it was completely outside her scope. It really speaks to her character, and I couldn't be more grateful to Lana and the team for a perfect day. Dream Flowers really was an absolute dream to work with. I would highly recommend Lana and the team for any of your future floral needs!!

The recipient really liked her flowers and was thoroughly surprised. It lasted quite a while. I'm sure it looked more beautiful in person. I plan to order again this year.
