nigella flowers

Arrangements are always stunning and the service is excellent. My family sent me birthday flowers and got the day wrong, the Nigella team went out of their way to make sure I got these gorgeous flowers asap (and even apologized for my family's mistake )

So pretty- well stocked beautiful plant "emporium"

Plants, container plants, decorative plants / flowers what a pretty store, crowded with plants, pots, and cool stuff to inspire you!

Absolutely wonderful florist. We worked with Anna Hu, who we gave some minimal direction and a color palette, and she completely overdelivered. She nailed the look and feel we were hoping for (coastal, lichen, foraged, wild - our boutonnieres even had mushrooms in them!), and she was so warm, friendly, and professional. Would absolutely recommend Nigella and Anna!! I've also ordered bouquets from Nigella for friends, and one of them said that it was the most beautiful arrangement she had ever received.

The only place we would ever order for stunning original bouquets. Thank you so much Mac and Brandon for our stunning seasonal dried bouquets in our entry. They recycle whatever we chose to keep or renew.

Great service and turnaround time. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. A lot of selections and designs online and in store. Awesome value for whatever the occasion is.

A beautiful store, beautiful florists, and beautiful flowers The next time you're looking for the perfect bouquet - consider Nigella I called an hour before picking up my order We talked about the occasion, budget And an hour later, Nigella gave me a gorgeous bouquet Need to say more?

Just a bunch of leaves thrown in

My boyfriend has gotten me flowers from Nigella before and every time, I was in awe at how beautiful the arrangements are. However, this year's Valentine bouquet was FAR BEYOND DISAPPOINTING. My boyfriend was embarrassed to give them to me. I wondered why and when I finally saw them in person, I understood why. He ordered 2 arrangements and both started decaying within day 2 and 3. For the amount they charge customers, you would think they would put much care and love to these arrangements. Both my boyfriend and I reached out to the team and unfortunately have not gotten any kind of response.

The gorgeous terrarium Nigella created for my sister's birthday!
LeAnne R.

What's in a name? Nigella: a plant of a genus that includes love-in-a-mist. After Nigella exceeded mine and my family's expectations this past Tuesday, Nigella has me seriously homesick for the Bay Area. San Francisco is a city, technically, but it isn't. It has a 'small town vibe', made famous by small businesses like Nigella. Listen: no matter the big money that moves into San Francisco, and the corporate flower/delivery players that try (and fail) to enter the floral market in San Francisco, Nigella slays them all. My sister and I wanted to send our sister, who lives in SF, a special floral arrangement for her birthday. She has quite the green thumb now, and succulents have become a passion of hers. We were thinking about sending her an orchid, but after a bit of Yelp research, I found Nigella, a small, blooming San Francisco business, well loved by their customers, and who (Yes!), specializes in botanicals! After perusing their glowing reviews, and further, their website, I knew my sister and I had found our new floral home in the bay area, and THE perfect florist to gift our birthday girl from. The online form was a breeze to fill out, and we appreciated that special delivery notes are seriously considered by Nigella...more on that in a moment. We decided on the lovely succulent terrarium for our sister. Photos on their website do NOT do this arresting succulent terrarium justice, and my sister was thrilled with her gift. It TRULY IS a one-of-a-kind, delightful gift. I would end the review here, but I have more to say about the delivery process: Amazon, and ANY business offering delivery, should take lessons from Nigella on how to go above and beyond, when delivering an item. So, let's be honest: 99.99999999% of the time, when delivery notes are added to a delivery order, they are ignored. Generally speaking, to deliver a package, flowers, a pizza, groceries, etc the vast majority of time, it takes a few extra steps, that require time. Especially with large corporations (yes, I'm looking at you, Amazon), it's become usual practice to ignore the notes and leave the package/item in a place, that saves the most time. If you've had packages stolen from your doorstep, even though your delivery instructions were to explicitly NOT leave the package at your front doorstep, you know what I mean. When my sister requested, in the delivery notes, NOT to leave the item at the door, or in the lobby (as my sister's building has been dealing with massive package theft), but to call me, if the delivery driver couldn't reach anyone on the call box, and I'd make sure my sister was there to receive her delivery. When I spoke to my sister about her delivery notes, we were hoping for the best, but with most deliveries, the driver may not pay attention to the notes, and we'd have to prepare for the worst. The morning of the delivery, around 10am, I called Nigella, just to reiiterate the delivery instructions (Now, I wasn't doing that to be a 'Karen'! I just didn't want her delivery stolen from her building). The woman I spoke with delivered 5 star customer service, and assured me their driver would follow our delivery notes. I crossed my fingers, and dove back into my day. At 2-ish, I received a call from Nigella's delivery driver (!!!! He ACTUALLY called me!), who let me know he was in front of my sister's building, and couldn't reach anyone on the call box. I immediately called my sister, who had taken a nap (hey, it IS her birthday!), but hiked it down to the front gate and was hand-delivered her beautiful terrarium (see photos). I mean.....what delivery company ACTUALLY delivers on their promise, to follow your delivery instructions to a T? VERY FEW. It's akin to a freak sighting of a whale, swimming about in the bay waters. Nigella, THANK YOU, for massively exceeding our expectations, and helping to make our beloved sister's birthday so very special. My sister and I, up here in Portland, will recommend you to our bay area community, and look forward to working with you again, when we order flowers, in the future. You. Rock.

Birthday Arrangement for my best friend
Tineka B.

Beautiful and creative arrangements! My favorite florist shop. I've been coming here since 2020, they did an insanely gorgeous arrangement for my birthday dinner and for a friends birthday.

The flowers looked completely different from the photos posted on their website. I don't think it was worth the price.

Wow. I am very disappointed with my flowers. I had ordered these flowers to congratulate a friend…read moreon her promotion and I am extremely embarrassed at what she received. I had specifically ordered from Diosa because of how beautiful and whimsical the floral designs were on their Instagram and their website. I had even paid the extra delivery fee to get this delivered outside their service area because I was happy to support this small business! But what I got was a sad average looking floral arrangement that I could have gotten from a grocery store (see picture). This is certainly not the value of a $135 arrangement that is depicted on their website. Additionally, their website says that they include a hand written card. I wasn't expecting an actual big folded card with envelope, but at the very least I expected it on a blank notecard?I certainly wasn't not expecting the note to be on their business flyer which I find to be a little tactless, considering how I emphasized that these were exciting congratulatory flowers being sent to a professional office when placing my order with them over phone. I even asked if the medium was a good size to send since the large vase arrangement looked really huge on the website. And they assured me that the arrangement would be about 1.5/2 feet tall. As you can see from my photo this was not even 1 foot tall. I would have gladly paid for the large vase arrangement if it meant a more impressive floral arrangement. But sadly I don't think I would have gotten anything better if I ordered the large vase arrangement. I understand that flowers are seasonal and I wasn't going to get exactly what they have on their website. But the arrangement I received isn't even in the same realm of the arrangements on their site and Instagram. I will say their customer service was good and they were able to deliver. But I definitely won't be ordering from here again. Total bummer since I was really hoping to support them again in the future.

The Diosa team is so talented and absolutely nailed the bright & cheerful aesthetic we wanted! We…read moreworked with Kate and Krisha for our wedding, where they supplied us with the bouquet, pocket boutonniere, several ceremony displays and many small table arrangements. The style and details were hammered out well in advance and they seamlessly handled the day-of logistics without us needing to worry. We loved the flowers, and we'd definitely work with them again!
