Moments in Bloom did an absolutely beautiful job with the flowers for our wedding. We had a few special requests and a very specific vision, and they accommodated everything perfectly. The final arrangements felt thoughtful, cohesive, and even more beautiful than I had imagined. Dede was wonderful to work with--responsive, creative, professional, and genuinely committed to making sure every detail came together. My bouquet was stunning, full of the right colors and textures, and photographed beautifully throughout the day. I am so grateful to Moments in Bloom and Dede for helping make our wedding feel so special. read more

Moments in Bloom was our wedding florist, and we could not be happier with how our flowers turned out! We had our wedding at the Carlsbad Wedgewood Windmill, and Moments in Bloom was their recommended florist. I had a very specific vision in mind for our florals and reception table centerpieces, and Tara executed it all flawlessly! She also made the planning process so simple and seamless. When my husband and I saw the decorated ceremony and reception spaces, we were completely in awe with how beautiful everything looked. Our jaws dropped when we saw our sweetheart table lined with flowers in the front and top, and it was by far our favorite part of the decor. The floral arrangements turned out so much more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined, and I really could not have asked for a better wedding florist! read more

Such a lovely floral business to work with! I was in most communication with Tara as she was the main person to talk and walk me through the wedding process. I booked my venue early and Tara was so accepting of me to reach out and plan way ahead of time. She was so kind and always responded promptly via emails. For my 3/3/23 wedding, Moments in Bloom created my and the bridesmaids' bouquets perfectly! And as simple as my centerpieces were, they made it so sweet and elegant. Lastly, they did an awesome job choosing the right floral pieces to make my cake just the way I wanted. Thank you so much Moments In Bloom. read more

Our wedding was hosted by the Carlsbad Windmill of Wedgewood Weddings. Part of our package included reception florals by Moments in Bloom. I'm so glad this vendor was part of the package because I absolutely love the work this floral company has created for other weddings and events. It was an immediate yes that we wanted Moments in Bloom to create the florals for our ceremonial space. We had the pleasure of working with Dede for our florals. I am always open to creativity because they are the professionals; from the work I've seen, I already knew I was going to admire the work she would create. I shared with Dede at our first phone consult that I was inspired by a previous wedding event. Dede did a wonderful job taking that request into consideration and created beautiful pieces that was perfect for our wedding. She asked all the right questions to ensure our florals connected well with our wedding colors & style. Wedding Day came and I fell in love with my bridal bouquet. Had the colors and style we discussed. As the day went on I got to see more of the beautiful pieces from Moments in Bloom. The bridesmaids bouquets turned out so cute. Exactly how I'd pictured with the inspirational photos I had given Dede. They were perfectly petite and fit so well for my bridesmaids. The boutonnières came out beautifully as well. My mother and my husband's mother both love orchids. I appreciate this solo piece on my husband and each of his groomsmen with a splash of greenery. After the ceremony, the ceremonial floral pieces were repurposed and transferred to our reception space for our sweetheart table. Also just how I envisioned with the inspiration from a previous wedding they provided florals for. I would recommend Moments in Bloom for any of your events. I would definitely work with them again for any future events. @kdorianphoto read more

During our first call with Tara we had the impression that she understood what we wanted, she gave sound advice, and we felt that we could trust her for wonderful floral arrangements. As we finalized the plan, we told her that we trusted her to make Carolyn and Evan's vision come to life. We were right to trust her. Tara and team were a special part of the wedding. The flowers were extraordinary and beautiful, especially the wedding bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, ceremony arch, entrance flowers placed on the barrels, and flowers for the memory table. Moments in Bloom provided the desired tropical theme using California tropical and local flowers, thank you. We received compliments from many guests with requests to take the flowers home. read more

I worked with Tara from Moments in Bloom for my wedding on November 6, 2021! Tara was an absolute joy to work with! We had our initial consult and right away, she understood my vision and was making recommendations on how to make it come to life! As we got closer, she worked with me a ton as I finalized the final head count and details. I went back and forth quite a bit in those last few weeks and Tara was so helpful in making decisions. She walked me through how all of the pieces would be reused from the ceremony to the cocktail hour and the reception. On the day of the wedding, she even came into the bridal suite to show me my bouquet and I got choked up because it took my breath away! It was exactly what I dreamt of and more. I thought that was such a sweet gesture to come and show me. It all felt real when I saw my bouquet! As I looked around the ceremony and reception areas, I was blown away at how beautiful everything was. The next day, when I took home my bouquet and some arrangements, I really got a chance to get a good look at them and I was amazed. The flowers were of exceptional quality and the arrangements and bouquets were detailed to perfection. The flowers from Moments in Bloom made my wedding a dream come true. If you are looking for a florist that you can trust with your most special day, you've found her :) read more

Dede did an amazing job on flowers for my wedding last month. Let me start by saying that flowers ended up being one of the most stressful components of wedding planning for me because I had no idea how pricey flowers are. With that said, Dede at Moments in Bloom went out of her way to work with my budget AND still make my vision come to life. (Big thanks to our planner, Ashley at Always Flawless Productions, for the referral!) Moments in Bloom really over delivered on the day of - way more flowers than I expected. There were flowers everywhere and gorgeous blooms - huge, blooming roses (no buds or small roses), in beautiful colors (blush, mauve, light lavender, champagne, ivory), hydrangea and greens that really complemented the venue. I had a mix of round and banquet tables and so had a mix of centerpieces and garlands. The garlands were FULL and gorgeous. Loved the flowers on the arch at our ceremony. I LOVED my bouquet, peonies, roses, and gardenia (my request). I was that annoying bride who kept looking at Pinterest and IG photos even after our initial consult, confusing myself more and more and likely annoying the vendor, but Dede never showed it - she was so sweet and patient throughout. She is so great to work with AND delivers a gorgeous product. I am super happy with the flowers and can't believe I was so stressed out about it. The guests are still gushing about them! Thank you, Dede and Moments in Bloom! read more

I recently got married this past weekend and Moments in Bloom provided all my florals. They did an absolute fantastic job with everything. Between the florals on my cake, our centerpieces, and arch piece to the bouquets and boutonnieres it was absolutely perfect! I will forever cherish my bouquet, it was just so gorgeous I had to keep it! They were so easy to work with and made sure they provided everything I wanted! read more

Moments in Bloom did not communicate with me at all. The day of the wedding there was absolutely. nothing on the reception tables. They "misunderstood" me. The venue automatically charged me for $50. worth of flowers at each table from their sponsored vendor - Moments in Bloom - and I got nothing. I expected to pay a great deal of money for the added design on arrangements and I was happy to do it. They want communication from email only but they didn't read mine or they read my emails and paid little attention to them. I couldn't be more disappointed. They took off the price of a corsage to appease me. The bouquets were outstanding but the lack of centerpieces were unforgivable. read more

I had the best experience with this vendor! I made multiple changes and they listened to everything and were extremely professional. They made my day of florals perfect! read more

Moments in bloom was a recommendation from a coworker of mine, and let me just say I was absolutely blown away! I worked with Tara throughout the whole experience and she helped me immensely discussing how to reuse pieces from our ceremony into our reception since our venue had a massive arbor. I am so glad I took her advice!!! It was absolutely gorgeous! Both the ceremony space and the reception had the exact look I wanted!!! She also did our cake and cake stand which was one of the most elegant looks I've ever seen and surpassed my expectations. Our bouquets and all of the bridal party pieces were perfect in color, shape and size!! I really know very little about flowers and she walked me through colors and shapes and had me send a bunch of pictures of the look I wanted- even of my dress, my decor and the cake stand so that she made sure everything worked together! When I got home the next day I went through to preserve some of the flowers and it was the first time I got to look at them super close and wow! The quality of these flowers completely surpassed any that I've ever seen at a wedding! They even smelled amazing!!! She really worked with me, a lot, and she did a phenomenal job! I could not recommend her more!!! read more

This review is for my October 2017 wedding (SO late, I know), but Dede did such a phenomenal job producing florals for my wedding that I could not skip doing a review. I was a little confused on the direction I wanted and gave her a general idea of the theme I was targeting (autumn rustic elegance) and some photo samples of bouquets and floral arches that I liked. Dede took those hints and completely nailed my vision. She went above and beyond to produce the most stunning florals I have ever seen... an incredible cascading bride's bouquet, gorgeous bridesmaid bouquets, floral centerpieces, and a beautiful garland that she set up on the pepper tree that backed our ceremony space (and was then transferred to our sweetheart table). She also provided beautiful complements to the spaces, including accent florals in small vases that accompanied the large centerpieces, as well as accent florals to dress up our tiered cake. Dede is extremely talented, responsive, and so easy to work with. She has a large selection of rentals, as well, that helped us achieve our vision. Huge thanks to Dede for the amazing work! I would highly recommend Moments in Bloom! read more

I could not be more satisfied with Moments in Bloom. I have two separate occasions that I have had the joy of working with them and I will share both: As a bridesmaid: in 2010 my friend got married and used Moments in Bloom as her florist. Because my friend has a very chaotic schedule, all of the consultation was completed over the internet and via email. My friend told Dede what flowers she liked, what flowers she didn't like, and the overall look she was going for. The day of the actually wedding was the very first time my friend and Dede met and spoke in person and every thing was perfect. As a bridesmaid I was very impressed by the quality of the flowers and decor around the ceremony and reception, and I knew if my friend was able accomplish this without having face-to-face meetings with the florist I knew this is who I wanted to work with for my wedding. As a bride: Fast forward to November 2010 (a month after my friend's wedding), and I met the ladies of Moments in Bloom at an open house/vendor expo at the Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club (where we ended up booking our wedding venue there). Dede remembered me from the previous month and we immediately began talking about flowers for my October 2011 wedding. We met a couple of times in person and she immediately knew what I was looking for to make my autumn wedding beautiful and special. She incorporated my favorite flower, sunflowers, so beautifully into the bouquets and because she knew our theme was autumn harvest, she included fresh autumn leaves in the bouquet as well! Every raved at how wonderful all the floral arrangements looks and I could not agree more. The center pieces on all the tables were stunning without taking away the ability for people to talk across the table to each other, our sweetheart table was decorated with pomegranates, autumn leaves, and a gorgeous centerpiece of all the flowers that were in the ladies' bouquets. I had both a cascade bouquet for the wedding ceremony as well as a "tossible" bouquet for the bouquet/garter toss portion of the reception. We had cast iron votive holders with flowers and wood climbing up the sides, and a votive tree by the area that guests could leave gifts and cards. The whole day was beautiful and the work done by Dede was the icing on the cake for that day. Thank you Moments in Bloom! I have already recommended you to others for their floral arrangement needs! read more

We were beyond happy with Moments in Bloom! Not only did they put together absolutely beautiful arrangements for us, they had a huge selection of decor! Tara worked with us to create stunning floral arrangements for each table, as well as for the sweetheart table and arch. I knew very little about flowers, and she helped guide me in the perfect direction. She understood my vision (even though I gave her very little to go off) and she turned it into everything I could ever want and more. Further, we utilized Moments in bloom for our table decor, arch, outdoor decor, etc. Tara helped explain how we could repurpose certain things from the ceremony to the reception, etc. and it turned out wonderfully! And, I would like to mention that Tara was so kind, professional, humble, accommodating, communicative, reliable, understanding, etc. Working with her really made the wedding planning process stress-free! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Moments in Bloom, and highly recommend them!! read more

This review is less about the beautiful flower arrangements Didi puts together and more about the wonderful type of person that she is. Our wedding was cancelled the day prior to the event due to the Coronavirus. As any future bride can imagine, I was distraught. We had a small event in our backyard as a replacement. Didi not only still put together some of our arrangements but put together some with different colors and different flowers that looked less weddingy as she feared wedding flowers could make our day much worse. That was by far the most kindhearted, generous act I could imagine from a wedding vendor. In addition, she returned us what money should could (for labor, delivery, etc.) and we couldn't be more thankful. Moral of the story, her flowers are absolutely beautiful and perhaps more important, she is the type of person you'll want to have supporting you on your big day read more

I worked with Tara who did all of the florals for my wedding at Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club. Tara was extremely professional, sweet, and quick to respond to any emails or phone calls. She executed my vision perfectly, and where needed, offered design and color advice to make sure the florals followed the Parisian, romantic, feminine feel I was looking for. If you are looking for a florist in SD (I searched high and low for affordable florists who didn't compromise on quality) who goes above and beyond for the price....it's moments in bloom! Thank you for the most amazing floral arrangements! read more

The flowers at our wedding were absolutely stunning. Moments in Bloom exceeded my expectations! Tara was so friendly & easy to work with. We had a budget to stick to & she was great at offering suggestions on where to save without sacrificing aesthetics. At our initial consultation, I showed her images from my pinterest board and we went from there. There was one image in particular that I loved, and Tara nailed it. So many guests came up to me the day of, and since, to tell me how beautiful my flowers were. I was very worried about making our venue beautiful since it was DIY, but after seeing the bouquets, my worries vanished. The flowers completely transformed the space and made my wedding day every bit as beautiful as I had hoped! read more

It was such a joy to work with Tara from Moments at Bloom. We had a small backyard wedding and the floral arch she created for us hugely elevated the look of our ceremony space. I sent photos of arrangements I liked and she was able to pinpoint exactly what kind of style I was looking for. She gave us a soft, romantic, garden-like look within a budget that worked for us, and nailed the color scheme I had described to her. My bouquet was beautiful, full, and exactly what I wished for. I would definitely recommend Moment in Bloom to anyone looking for a florist. read more

Moments in Bloom was incredible! Dede was highly professional, helpful, and always quick to respond. She was also very flexible and was able to add on arrangements and change things as I needed for our wedding. They did such an amazing job with the flowers, we were absolutely blown away with how beautiful everything turned out. Thank you Moments in Bloom for making our wedding look like a fairytale! read more

Dede & Tara create the most stunning arrangements. Our wedding flowers were impeccable! Our vision was captured perfectly. I was drooling over my bridal bouquet for a whole week after the wedding. So thankful for these ladies and they are so fun & easy to work with!! read more

Tara & Dede are true floral artists. They perfectly choose the color, size and texture of flowers to create balanced and unique floral works. Their bouquets, centerpieces, altars and boutonnieres are all so beautiful. I'm a wedding photographer and always recommend them to my couples because everyone is always so happy with their creations. read more

We used Moments in Bloom for our wedding as referred by Bliss Events and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. I met with Dede and clearly explained mine and my husbands wishes for the wedding and they went over the top by bringing the most beautiful floral arrangements I have ever seen! I had a blush pink and gold wedding and there were able to create huge bouquets with both colors in it (gold painted babies breath). My bridal bouquet was the most stunning arrangement of flowers and all of the bridesmaid's were as well! Not to mention, the large balls of flowers used at the altar were perfect circle shaped bouquets; it looked extremely elegant! I would highly recommend Moments in Bloom for any wedding! read more

Moments in Bloom rocks! We are so happy to have had Moments in Bloom as our wedding florist in October 2013. They came highly recommended by our photographer Chelsea Anne, and rightly so! They did gorgeous work at very competitive prices. Moments in Bloom played a very special and important part in our wedding. Floral design was very important to me, as I ultimately had some fairly specific looks and flowers in mind. I spent a great deal of time examining the Moments in Bloom website and photo blog to ensure I loved their style, then reached out to them! We had a great meeting with Dede at their studio in Carlsbad, and we just really liked her and Tara and their whole vibe! They are both super nice, very talented and hardworking, and you can just tell how much they love what they do. After we booked them as our florist, my now-husband and I actually moved out of state, and we suddenly had a 'destination wedding' on our hands! But it was so easy to work with Dede over phone and e-mail to discuss our wedding floral design and communicate ideas and visions. Dede was very responsive, thoughtful and patient to boot! She hunted down the perfect centerpiece vases and customized them just for us; Dede also happened to find me some special ranunculus flowers for my bridal bouquet in the exact perfect color, despite having counted them out since they were out of season! Just a bit of magic she managed that I had to mention. ;-) In regard to the wedding day itself - Dede and Tara were prompt, reliable, and ever so efficient! Our venue, the Safari Park out in Escondido, requires vendors to cart all of their stuff into the middle of the park literally on golf carts. It's no small challenge, and certainly adds to set-up time, so they were hustling! But man, did they deliver. Everything was beautiful and arranged perfectly. We highly recommend you consider Moments in Bloom for your wedding florals! read more

I just got married last Friday and Moments in Bloom did the flowers for the wedding. I was SO HAPPY with our wedding florals, I had to Yelp! I loved every aspect of working with the ladies at Moments in Bloom. Dede was my main contact, and she was awesome - professional, talented, and so sweet! I visited the studio in Carlsbad a couple of times, and that was really fun - just felt like hanging out with a friend. I don't know much at all about flowers, but had some photos of arrangements/bouquets that I liked and Dede really made those come to life. She totally got my vision and the flowers were just stunning. She made "mock ups" for me to see before the wedding (and keep!) and tried out lots of different kinds of flowers to make sure I was really happy with the final decisions. I also appreciated the little details that Moments in Bloom did that set them apart from other florists I was looking at: 1. They had interesting glassware (e.g. bubble bowls) that looked really cool and I had never seen before. 2. They wanted to tailor the flowers to our event in a personal way - my fiance and I are scientists so some of our arrangements were in beakers and flasks and that was a big hit! 3. They have their own arches for wedding ceremonies (a lot of florists don't and require you to rent these separately) and did all the set up and break down. I got so many compliments on my wedding flowers. We went with plain white table linens because the centerpieces were so spectacular, and I'm glad we did! They were a highlight of the event. All in all, I feel like I really lucked out in finding Moments in Bloom, and I couldn't recommend them any more. Customer service was top notch. I am totally going to hire these ladies again for any event I plan in the future! read more

I highly recommend Moments in bloom for any occasion. Tara was very friendly and helpful and totally understood my vision. The flowers at my wedding this month were absolutely gorgeous! I fell in love with my bouquet. It was seriously better than I had pictured. Thanks Tara! read more

WOW!! Where do I even begin?! Choosing Moments in Bloom as our florist for our wedding was by far the best decision we could have ever made! Tara went above and beyond- she saw my vision and executed it perfectly! She was amazing from start to finish. We received so many compliments on our flowers- and the flowers could not have been more beautiful. She even helped my Mom set up decorations the day of and helped make sure everything was in its place- I cannot think of any other vendor that would have done this! We were completely blown away by Tara and Dede. Going with any other florist for your wedding would be a mistake. They have passion and are genuinely excited about your wedding- both important things that you will not find with many vendors. I honestly do not have a negative thing I can say- all I can say is WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE MOMENTS IN BLOOM read more

Moments in Bloom exceeded my expectations for my daughter's wedding. I made suggestions as to color, they did the rest. When we arrived at the venue for the "reveal", we were amazed! One guest said it was "Pinterest Perfect". Thank you Moments in Bloom for taking the guess work out of the wedding flowers and delivering the most stunning florals! read more

If I could give Tara and Moments in Bloom 10 stars I would!! We got married July 27th 2013 in San Diego, and Tara literally made our dreams come true! We planned the whole wedding from abroad, including picking out the flowers. To make things more complicated, we don't know anything about flowers, and we didn't want to have any "colors" or too much coordination at all. We were after a casual elegance, garden-y feeling, colorful but still soft...and this was NOT easy to describe, let alone for Tara to interpret and deliver on! But OMG this girl was a mind reader. When we walked into the banquet room during the day, after she had set up, I was at a loss for words, it was just so beautiful. And then later when my husband and I came back into the banquet room one of the first things he said was "it looks perfect", and he had been even more fussy (and equally uninformed about flowers) than me! I'm sure the process had been easier if we had been in California in person, so it says so much more how spot on she got everything so far away. Also, she was totally willing to work with our budget and play around, helped make sure all the guys got their flowers during the day, and her setup (as far as I know) went super smooth with coordinating with the hotel. So if you're in SoCal and considering an event you will be doing yourself a huge favor by going with Moments in Bloom! read more

The flowers and centerpieces were absolutely beautiful! So many people were complimenting them and I just adored them! And the bouquets!! OH. MY. GOODNESS!! They were so incredible!!! Seriously, the most beautiful bouquets I have ever seen! They were beyond my expectations! I wish they would last forever! Thank you, again, You are amazing! read more

Moments in Bloom is the best florist ever! They came highly recommended by Omni La Costa Resort. That alone says a lot. Since our wedding was in the said resort, we decided to check it out. Dede met with us and she was well prepared. She already had an idea of our wedding theme/motif so she had pictures ready and samples of arrangements and bouquets. She also had some snacks laid out during our meeting! Let's just say my fiance then was very happy. Dede worked with us in achieving the jeweled toned look we were going for and also with the budget we had in mind. Throughout the whole process too, it was a very smooth relationship in terms of correspondence, meet up for a mock up of our table arrangement to a few last minute requests i.e. extra baskets for rose petals. Needless to say the day of our wedding when Dede came into my room to deliver the bouquets.....I was flabbergasted with how pretty they all looked. We chose vibrant colors and she used plenty of orchids in purple, bright pink and blue hydrangeas! Words cannot describe the magic the whole team did. From our ceremony site.....with tall vases and submerged orchids....to our succulent/beachy boxes at the ceremony aisle to our small succulents for the cocktails tables...to our reception area.....which she re-used most of the stuff we had at the ceremony site. We just added a few vases with submerged white orchids for our lounge area. When I was waiting to walk down the aisle and saw the flowers at our ceremony site...the vibrant colors against the green golf course backdrop.....I was very elated. Even the resort's staff and catering manager were in awe.....especially my Mother in Law who is a very big floral fanatic. Also just to add a very important detail, as in wedding planning, you do your due diligence and shop around for your vendors. You just don't check out one and go with it. We have done our homework and Moments in Bloom fit the perfect package. Their prices are very reasonable, design, quality of the flowers that they use are very nice and very pleasant to work with. Let's just say the other florist we checked out had the primadonna 'tude even if we are the customers and not her, plus her price was very much out of this world. Needless to say, we were very happy to work with Dede and you immediately get the good vibe from her. Hope this helps and we love to support local businesses. More power to Moments in Bloom team! Thank you again for making our dream wedding come true! read more

I worked with Tara to design the florals for my December 30, 2016 wedding and received the flowers of my dreams. I live out of town so all our communication was done over email and pinterest and yet I felt like Tara completely knew my vision and delivered one thousand percent. She was amazing to work with and the flowers were of the highest quality. I would especially thank Tara and Moments in Bloom for their flexibility. I had already paid the full balance for the florals when we decided to drop four reception tables (which meant a decrease of 8 centerpieces)- Tara graciously worked with me and my coordinator, Robyn Fallon of R. Nicole Events, to increase the size of the other arrangements and source even fancier flowers so that the balance would remain the same. The florals were perfect and everything I imagined! I would highly recommend Moments in Bloom for any event! read more

We all enjoyed working with Dede (bride, groom, parents) and the results were just gorgeous! She listened carefully to our budget expectations, and exactly captured the tone and color palette of the wedding. We rented the rustic-looking arbor to use as a chuppah, and it worked out beautifully. read more

Moments in Bloom is the best! They did an amazing job with our wedding in July 2013. I came to Tara and Dede with a vague picture of a bouquet I thought I might like, and a very uncertain color scheme. She started shooting out ideas from past events that I fell in love with and came up with the perfect plan for our wedding. Can't even begin to describe how many compliments we got on our flower arrangements, center pieces, everything. I would HIGHLY recommend Moments in Bloom! read more

I am so lucky to have found Moments in Bloom for my wedding. Tara was absolutely amazing! The florals were a big deal to me for my wedding day and Tara went above and beyond to make my vision come true. I was such an indecisive bride and kept changing my mind. Tara was so amazing and would discuss my ideas with me and steered me in the right direction. I live in Arizona but got married at the Estancia in La Jolla. Tara was so wonderful and always worked around my schedule for our phone calls and meeting. She created a beautiful arch for my ceremony that was nothing short of amazing! My wedding was everything I ever dreamed of and I cant thank Tara enough!! read more

Tara was amazing to work with and my flowers were absolutely stunning. They exceeded my expectations. When I first met with Tara I had a pretty good idea about what I wanted. She listened carefully and offered suggestions. When I left, I was worried I wouldn't be able to afford her but her quote came back the same as another florist but Tara's arrangements were way more modern and current. I was thrilled! When she walked in on the wedding day while I was getting ready i was blown away about how good everything looked. Everyone commented on our flowers the whole evening. I highly recommend Moments in Bloom! read more

Dede was the florist for my recent wedding and she was AMAZING! I went in with a couple of different visions and Dede helped me pick out what flowers would fit best with my wedding theme. I could not have been happier with how my flowers turned out. They were one of my favorite parts of the whole wedding. I would definitely recommend Dede and her team to anyone looking for gorgeous flower arrangements. You will be beyond happy with the result. read more

Lionel and Katy Fujioka's Wedding September 6, 2015 I needed to take a moment to recognize this wonderful team of florists. This was our experience with Dede and Tara and we could not be happier with the results. About 6 months before our wedding, I was ready to book with another florist that was located much farther from our wedding site, the Carlsbad Hilton. We called our wedding coordinator at the Hilton, and her first recommendation was the Moments in Bloom team located in Carlsbad. My first interaction with Dede was email setting up a time that we could be introduced via FaceTime (we live 2 hours away from Carlsbad). I immediately feel in love with not only her professionalism and welcoming personality, but also the talent she displayed. Yes, on our first "meeting" FaceTime phone call, she created the centerpiece that was beyond what I envisioned. It was absolutely beautiful. I committed to Dede and her team on the spot. As the months passed, Dede was open to ALL the changes I made up until the week before the wedding. She was extremely patient with me. =] Her prices were fair, considering I did some shopping around before I was able to commit to her. The day of the wedding was THE FIRST TIME I was able to meet Dede and Tara personally. The day went beyond smooth because of the way they handled set up of all my beautiful arrangements, and so much more. Moments gave me so much to remember about our special day. It was BEYOND what I envisioned and it showed Dede and Tara's true talents considering we only communicated through email and phone calls. I cannot thank the Moments in Bloom team enough for making more than anything I could ever imagine. Thank you Dede and Tara! Your talents are beyond amazing! read more
