My first review here, and I'm happily writing to say how thrilled I am with the work Marie Thomas and her team did for my wedding, 8/19/18. I love flowers as much as the next person, but know relatively little about them. When I met with Marie, I gave her a sense of the look I wanted - rustic, wild, simple. Told her my wedding colors, how many tables I had, my budget, and that I liked stargazers. Our meeting to talk about possibilities was extremely fun: I could plainly see that she loves flowers and is passionate about them, and that she has tons of ideas. I could also see her caring and her regard for customers (while we were meeting, several customers came in to pick up flowers for both sad and joyous occasions; Marie's tenderness and enthusiasm was truly heartwarming). Marie was more than happy to offer suggestions that helped my fiancé and me stretch our dollars, telling me which flowers were less expensive, which would be in season and easily available, what we could use as a focal point and what could be filler. She clearly knew what she was doing, and I wanted to allow her freedom to be creative, so we ultimately agreed on some of the flowers, the general look, and I trusted her judgment for the day's floral arrangements. On the day, Marie arrived at both my hotel and the venue with perfect timing. She handled my bouquet, boutonnieres, centerpieces and cake decoration. Everything was beautiful, and I was so psyched that I trusted her to do her job well. It was an amazing job, as evidenced by guests' excitement about taking her arrangements home! She also generously offered me the vases from our few belly bars, which was unexpected, but very kind. I would certainly go to Rainbow Flowers and Marie not only for the big events, but also for the smaller special arrangements that can mean so much. read more

This is the third time I have sent flowers to my mom in San Diego and they have been absolutely perfect every time. My mom loves Hot Pink flowers and I mention that in the notes section when I order. Every time they have made her special arrangements that bring her to happy tears and such excitement. Thank you for going above and beyond for your clients and our moms! read more

This was the first time I have used Rainbow Flowers and I was not disappointed. The order was placed online and the delivery scheduled. I called to make sure they would contact my girlfriend prior to deliver to ensure they would be received. They were awesome to deal with and Molly made and exquisite bouquet that my gf is raving about! Highly recommend! read more

Ordered flowers, and got exactly what I described over the phone!! Beautiful, and new mom got tons of compliments she says read more

Overall, decent experience at Rainbow Flowers. No major complaints other than I thought I didn't get a lot of flowers for my money. Kind of a small bouquet with 2-3 roses, a few small sunflowers and some filler. Cost me just under $35 including tax (see photo of the bouquet). The bouquets at the Hillcrest Farmers market for $15 are definitely comparable. Nice little shop, central location near Ralph's, nice salesperson, nice looking bouquet, but just a little over priced in my opinion. Still giving 4 stars. read more

Rainbow Flowers - Bouquet for just under $35. - Florists Near Me - San Diego, California

My brother and I have used Rainbow Flowers for years, over ten as a matter of fact. Our mother lives in San Diego my brother and I live in different parts of the state, and like to support the Hillcrest area. My younger brother had a bouquet sent for her 85th birthday, it looked beautiful then after a closer look. There it was a hole the size of a cigar in the middle of a leaf on the orchid it was covered up with moss and glued down, I was there to see it. After a conversation with our Mother she told me this was not the first time she was not satisfied. Many of the bouquets that were delivered had brown leaves and wilted after a few days. I asked why she never said anything "I didn't want to upset you, you and your brother do so much more for me than I ever thought possible." Mind you my mother is very well read, she consumes 4-5 novels a week and her computer skills put mine to shame. Apparently she has given reviews on yelp only to be told there was no record of that delivery. She has been disappoint with all of her deliveries over the past 3 years. We will no longer use this florist. Due to the fact that her yelps go unnoticed or the responses have been patronizing. We spend between about $300 or more every year, no konge read more

Thankyou Rainbow Flowers for the beautiful arrangement for my Father's memorial service on January 4, 2021. The family chose specific flowers and colors that were his favorite. Marie (owner) brought all of them fresh from the growers and Molly (designer) made the loveliest ever arrangement. Discussing, ordering and picking up at a specified time was easily done. My family and I could not have asked for any thing more special to add to this heartfelt occasion. Thankyou for your time and attention you put into the details of this very special and occasion inspired floral arrangement- that touched the hearts of many read more

Wife and I wanted to send flowers remotely to our friend in SD. I talked on the phone with Rachel who was extremely friendly, helpful, *and* patient!! I'm a very detailed person so we went through colors, types of flowers, general size, etc and she was great the whole time. I even got an email from the owner letting me know they couldn't find one of the flowers I requested in a specific color, but considering how professional and thoughtful they were, I wasn't worried. We got a pic of the flowers from our friend after they were delivered... and they were perfect! read more

I used yelp to find this flower shop and was pleasantly surprised just how wonderful my experience was. I conducted my business over the telephone and the young lady who helped me was absolutely incredible listening to what I needed and helping me through the decision-making process. Each and everyone of us wants great face-to-face personal customer service and finding that same experience over the telephone isn't easy but let me tell you that's exactly what I received with my phone call. After we concluded our business transaction all I asked was that they send me a photo of the floral arrangement before they delivered. And sure enough an hour and a half later I received that photo which contained the most beautiful arrangement that was then delivered. There's no doubt my mind that this floral shop will be the one that I use in the future and it is my hope that you do the same. read more

I live in the Bay Area, went with this florist because of the wonderful reviews on Yelp. My brother and sister-in-law just had a baby (who live in San Diego), I wanted to send them a beautiful "welcome baby boy" bouquet of flowers. I did the custom arrangement from the website. I even called to ask what kind of flowers they would use. Very helpful and made me feel more confident in using this florist. I got a email with a photo of the actual arrangement! I could not believe it. Amazing customer service. As well as an email confirmation of delivery. Thank you! Will definitely use this florist in the future. read more

Very nice spot. I gave quite a vague description (as I did not have a vision per se) and whoever this lady was came thru in a major way. She was really nice and I was very happy with what she came up with. In like 3 minutes too. Fast and great. Can't ask more from a small flower shop. read more

Rainbow Flowers - Beautiful arrangement and really quick. Very happy with my purchase. Store was very low-key. Come thru! - Florists Near Me - San Diego, California

A few weeks ago, I accompanied a friend to pick up her wedding bouquets from Rainbow Flowers. When we arrived, the flowers were not exactly what the bride and florist (who wasn't in at the time) had previously agreed upon. My friend was pretty upset but, not being one to complain, didn't say anything at first. She started planning how she could fix the bouquets herself so make them exactly what she wanted when the florist who was putting on the finishing touches overhead our conversation. She came out from behind the counter, gave my friend a hug and promised that she wouldn't let her leave with an arrangement that she wasn't absolutely in love with. She made every adjustment with such care and compassion and really went above and beyond to communicate that making everything perfect was a priority. I don't think I've ever experienced such good customer service in my life. Thank you so much, Sarah! You really helped comfort the stressed out bride and make the wedding day perfect. I never write Yelp reviews but felt that this needed to be said. I can't thank you enough read more

I have gone to Rainbow Flowers 3 times now, and each time the experience was perfect. I was immediately greeted and asked if I needed any assistance. Now here is the thing, in terms of floral decorations, I could always use assistance. I honestly have no clue as to how to make a bouquet look as beautiful as the employees do at Rainbow Flowers. I simply tell them what flowers I like, what colors I like, and what, if any, flowers I do not want in the bouquet. They then whip it all together, and the end result is flawless. The best part is that they make me feel like I came up with the idea for the floral arrangement myself, which obviously boosts my self esteem. The prices aren't dirt cheap, but they are affordable and totally worth it, because the flowers live for a little over 2 weeks. So if you are looking for beautiful flowers, great customer service, and affordable prices...then Rainbow Flowers is your place! read more

This is my go to place to pick up flowers for all my failed courting and wooing attempts. The flowers are ALWAYS the highlight and then the date goes horribly south for whatever reason, (e.g. discovering she has a "special relationship" with her pomeranian for a midnight peanut butter special; enough said.) They are very helpful too,...Just tell them what you are looking for and they'll organize it. I just tell them, "I'm looking for a bouquet that says, I'm interested, but not interested enough for you to tell me you want to be a "surrogate mother for your step-father"(true confession from a date)" So how 'bout them Padres?! Besides the train wreck which is my dating life, you can't go wrong with the flowers here at Rainbow Flowers. read more

I sent flowers to my mother when she was in the hospital. I called to order. I thought the person who helped me was very helpful in picking out what kind of flowers to include in the arrangement. She told me what she had that was the freshest and best that day. My mother has thanked me a dozen times for those flowers. She said they were the most beautiful arrangement she'd seen and they really brightened up her room. She said that everyone who came into the room would remark how lovely the flowers were, and people even commented on them as she was carrying them out after being discharged. That those flowers brought her so much happiness while she was not feeling well is priceless. She's been home for a week now and she says the flowers are still beautiful! A friend of mine used to work for a florist shop, and this is where she orders her flowers. I'm glad she referred me here, and I'll definitely call Rainbow Flowers the next time I need flowers sent! read more

This is my favorite flower shop in San Diego. Whether I live in mission valley or moving to la jollla , I still drive to Hillcrest to by flowers for my girlfriend. They have a great selection and very knowledgeable and experienced florist. The owner is very nice too. But the best thing is that they are open on Sundays, which is very convenient read more

I have only used 1 florist in San Diego ever. Rainbow Flowers. They have never let me down, ever! I call them on the phone, tell them who the flowers are for, (ie. age of the recipient; relationship to them; the amount of money I want to spend) and they end up making the most amazing bouquet ever! They get the colors down, use unique flowers, wrap it up beautifully and have it ready for pick up or deliver it for me on time. Each time I am knocked off my feet with their service, and final product and their consistency. A lot of florists make generic bouquets that are standard cheese. Not this place. I don't know anyone's name there, and it's probably a different girl each time I call but I have never ever been let down with this place!! It's probably pricier than what I normally would see, but the quality makes all the difference. And so what, tell them upfront what you want to spend out the door and they'll still amaze you! read more

My husband has always given me the best arrangements for ever occasion! He out did himself this time and Rainbow Flowers is to thank! He mentioned the florist helped him with exactly what he wanted within his price range for our 1 year anniversary flowers! They are gorgeous and she made note of everything I liked and didn't like and added special touches to the things that were my favorite (color and flowers). My husband will definitely continue ordering from her for every occasion :) read more

Rainbow Flowers - 1 year anniversary Flowers. All my favorites! Gorgeous! - Florists Near Me - San Diego, California

I came here because of all the great reviews on yelp. If you dont live downtown, it's still worth the drive. It's in the middle of a big shopping center with lots of parking so find a spot and it's easy to find. The ladies working there were very helpful and everything looked great. 10% off if you pay with cash! read more

Let me start by saying that I am a rather frugal person and I had no idea how expensive flowers could be. That being said, as a young man in love I knew money was no object when it came to the happiness of my (hopefully) future bride. I live in Houston and although I have never been to Rainbow Flowers I can tell you without a doubt this is where you should buy your flowers. I spoke to a very helpful sales associate named Danielle who took the time to explain everything about the arrangements I saw online. We went over the gorgeous gallery photos and once I had selected a design; (Zen-effin amazing) she suggested ideas on how to personalize the arrangement. Not only was Danielle sweet and caring, I found her to be quite knowledgeable and honest too; telling me what they did and did not have fresh rather than just throwing some flowers in a vase and making the sale. This type of personalized service is all too often lost in today's tech-oriented, impersonal world and although we interacted just digitally over the phone, I hung up feeling like I had a new friend and I will definitely stop by next time I am in San Diego. To wrap up; go to Rainbow Flowers. Ask for Danielle and you won't be disappointed. She knows what she is talking about, obviously enjoys what she does and most of all, her primary focus is customer satisfaction. If I could rate this place 10 stars I would! read more

This is my favorite florist in San Diego. High quality flowers, beautiful and original arrangements, interesting and unique containers, and I think the prices are very reasonable for the quality of flowers and the skillful, friendly service. Had to add on - I took an arrangment to my dad, who was in the hospital and I could not even get through the parking lot before getting 4 compliments on the flowers. By the time I got to the room about 10 people had commented. My mom said everyone who came to the room commented on how gorgeous they were! Can't go wrong with Rainbow Flowers read more

I was making the bouquet for my sister's wedding and had something very specific in mind. The clerk took notes on the flowers I requested, and the manager made sure to send me pictures from the flower market for approval before purchase. They gave me prices before purchasing, there was no surprise on the cost. The end result was absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend Rainbow flowers for anyone who is looking for truly special and high quality flowers. read more

Amazing flowers. They make the most creative arrangements, and can work with any budget. My GF always loved the arrangements from here. Great customer service and super friendly read more

I love this flower shop. I usually find one that I love in each city I've lived in and this is the one in San Diego. The flowers are unique and beautiful, the wrapping "a dot over the i" (as we say in Swedish - adding the finishing touch) and the cards lovely. Just came back for my last visit before moving to Sweden. Thank you for spreading the joy through your bouquets! read more

I had been trying to go to a florist walking distance from my house but they were always closed so I came to rainbow flowers and was pleasantly surprised. The owner made a fresh bouquet from scratch for me that was so beautiful. I told her I wanted a fall theme bouquet and she nailed it on the head. She was so friendly and really loves what she does. I will definitely be back for more! read more

Rainbow Flowers - Beautiful fall arrangement! - Florists Near Me - San Diego, California

Flew in from out of town and came to get some flowers via walk-in. Extremely last minute at 4-5pm on a Friday, but she was very accommodating and made a personalized bouquet on the spot in less than 10 minutes! I had a gift that I wasn't able to wrap (due to lack of time) and she was able to make extra accommodations. Flowers looked amazing, finishing touches were great and the owner seemed to have just the right tastes in knowing how to personalize flower gifts. Highly recommend! Thank you for your help in wrapping a last minute gift as well :) read more

We used Rainbow Flowers for our wedding day last October, and couldn't be happier with the service we received! Back in February, my then boyfriend (now husband!) sent me a rose and lily bouquet from Rainbow Flowers. He was out of town on business so he never saw it, simply spoke with an employee on the phone and it was delivered to me at work. It was hands down the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I have ever seen in my entire life. It was MASSIVE but not gaudy; stunning yet somehow simplistic, with strong red roses and beautiful white lilies. I was absolutely floored by how gorgeous it was. When he proposed I immediately called Rainbow Flowers, as I definitely wanted them to do our wedding. I spoke with Marie, who was phenomenal. She gave her professional advice and still responded to the ideas we had and the results were nothing short of perfection! I would HIGHLY recommend this florist to everyone! read more

Just received a delivery from my Mom at my place of employment. The lady who dropped them off, unfortunately I didn't get her name, was super sweet! She had some very kind words as she delivered my bouquet. The arrangement is so beautiful and smells amazing. This is one of the nicest flower arrangements I've ever received. read more

Just used Rainbow Flowers for the first time for Valentine's for my wife. I have to say, I was extremely satisfied and impressed with their creativity and service. I made the order over the phone and just stated my budget and a simple request and they took it from there. Needles to say, they made me look really good! Will definitely use them from now on! Thank you! read more

Rainbow Flowers is my favorite flower shop in SD. That's it! The customer service is not the best, yes that part is true. It's not bad though, don't get me wrong. It's just. umm.. nearly non-existent if don't get the owner but, I keep going back. You know why? Because there's this one chick, not sure what her name is but, together we make some nice arrangements! Here's what happens when I pay them a visit. I walk in. I'm never greeted. I bob my head to the cool music playing. I look around and see what's new in the shop, trying to get a feel for what I want. I get an idea and I walk to the counter. I usually wait to be helped and it always feels like I'm bothering them. The woman walks around and I take her to what I like. We then discuss some options and her mood lightens when I choose something nice. We walk back to the counter, she prepares them, I pay. I ALWAYS leave happy. They are inexpensive and can make a tiny but, very elegant bouquet. They are fast. So yeah. Check this place out you're looking for something nice. Don't bother if you're looking to get into long conversations with the florists and then end the transaction with hugs and Café Olé. read more

Walked in to Rainbow Flowers without a clue as to what sort of arrangement to get my roommate for her birthday. I told the super friendly person behind the counter that I really didn't know what to get and she asked how much I wanted to spend, whether my roomie liked earthy or bright colors, wrapping or vase. I paid and hoped for the best. Come to find today that the arrangement was gorgeous and that it was delivered perfectly on time. Real, real impressed (but not surprised) with the quality of Rainbow Flowers. read more

I have been the lucky recipient of flowers from this place. Not only are the flowers amazing but the arrangements are spectacular. In the past,​ I have always been careful with floral arrangements, add fresh water to help them live a bit longer. Sometimes it helped. BUT!!! With the flowers from Rainbow,​ I changed the water and cut the stems etc. I am not kidding, they seriously lasted for two weeks. I had some orchids and another beautiful flower I don't know the name of, lived for almost 3.5 weeks. read more

This place is fantastic! I wish I caught the name of the woman who helped me but she was super sweet and helpful. She wrapped up the flowers beautifully but when I told her I was buying the bouquet as part of a plan to propose to my girlfriend, she realized she needed to adjust things. She re-wrapped them so the stems were exposed and could be placed in water until the big moment. And when the moment came, my now fiancé was blown away by the beautiful flowers. I now have a new go-to florist in San Diego and Rainbow Flowers will forever hold a special place as a key part of a great moment in our lives. read more

I went in for last minute flowers. I didn't catch the ladies name but all I said was "I need flowers and make them look pretty please." Went to Von's before and passed on the $20 roses. I mean don't get me wrong no one wants to spend money on flowers and I'm cheap, but I know that you get what you pay for when it comes to things like flowers of any sort. :) I want it to look pretty and impressive. I knew the chick would show her friends so I wanted to pay the extra and get some quality. $59 for a dozen roses $75 with a vase. I gladly paid the $80 without flinching after I saw her set it up and make it look pretty. She put in her own choice of red, white, and I think pinkish. Lol. Of course the girl loved them!!!! Getting ready for dinner but wanted tell the lady working tonight thanks!!! read more

Very reasonable prices with outstanding quality and service! I ordered a bouquet for my husband for our 21st anniversary, and Marie was delightful to work with and really made everything go smoothly. The flowers were delivered on time to the restaurant where we had dinner, and made a spectacular impression! Some florists can do "pretty" flower arrangements, but this was truly the result of an artist. We'll definitely be back in the future .. thank you very much for helping make our celebration very special! read more

Needed to find a florist local to UCSD Medical Center in a hurry on a Sunday, and found Rainbow Flowers on Yelp. I was able to pick an appropriate flower arrangement on their website and request same day delivery. Order was placed after noon on Sunday but still arrived by late afternoon. I was extra impressed that I got an email with photo showing the actual bouquet being delivered - so many florists you place an order but then never really know what's going to arrive. Not only did I get to see a photo, but it also looked exactly like what I ordered. Fantastic! And the recipient loved it. Thanks, Rainbow Flowers. read more
