Gorgeous and Green is the BEST florist in the Bay Area (and quite possibly beyond). Their owner,…read morePilar, is not just a florist; she's a floral artist! First off, the arrangements: we're talking show-stoppers, conversation-starters, "Where did you get that?!" kind of arrangements. It's like each bouquet tells a story, with every flower playing its part. Every arrangement is an adventure because you're bound to discover something new and breathtaking. They're the most unique, eye-catching varieties you've ever seen. And the flowers are picked at the perfect time so they stay fragrant long after they've arrived (often by bicycle!) and always last a surprisingly long time. Even their vases aren't just containers; they're pieces of art. Each vase complements their floral masterpieces in a way that elevates the whole arrangement. We're talking about unique shapes, textures, and colors that turn an already beautiful bouquet into a standout piece of decor. If you're looking to give a memorable gift that your recipient will rave about, make a statement, or just treat yourself to some beauty, Gorgeous and Green is THE place. Trust me, once you go Gorgeous and Green, there's no going back.

Truly excellent. I've ordered flowers from Gorgeous and Green several times and they have always…read morebeen beautiful! Always a new arrangement and always super-fresh, in-season, and local. However, this last order really showed the difference between Gorgeous and Green and what you might get elsewhere. I had ordered flowers for my partner's birthday. Unfortunately, Pilar made a mistake and delivered the flowers several days early. Any person or business will eventually make a mistake, its much more telling how they handle these situations than whether or not they happen at all. Pilar immediately said "no problem, take these now and I will still deliver another arrangement on the correct date, no extra charge". No only did Pilar follow through on her commitment but the second arrangement was also unique and beautiful! I'm super appreciative of her dedication, craft, and thoughtful service. I will absolutely be getting more flowers from her in the future. Did I mention that every arrangement I've gotten always lasts well over a week? Surpassingly fabulous!

I was able to visit my sister over the weekend and she just loves it.

They're my go-to florist for nearby local oakland deliveries! The shop is also cute to visit right on the main drag. Note: don't believe Yelp's listed open hours for this shop. On Yelp, it says the florist is closed, but when I checked, they are INDEED OPEN!

Clean well maintained shop with friendly employees, but I feel like the name is quite misleading. I…read moredidn't see much of anything here that was truly unusual or rare. Their inventory is dominated by your typical cultivars of philodendrons, anthuriums, pothos, etc. Most of these plants are widely available at garden centers and other plant stores. Even the carnivorous plants and staghorn fern they had are varieties I've commonly seen elsewhere. They also carry spray painted tillandsias, a practice I dislike because it obscures the plant's natural appearance and is something I generally associate with novelty retail rather than horticulture. I visited hoping to find some unique specimens, such as uncommon orchids, metallic leaved begonias, rocklike pseudolithos, or other harder to find collector plants. Casual indoor plant owners would probably find this store adequate, but I'd recommend those looking specifically for rare or unusual plants to skip this place. Update: Soon after writing this review I got a very emotionally charged message from the owner who mentioned that my review is a "public dig" and asked "Is it your goal to damage a women owned and run small business?". It leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I leave an honest respectful review (all I did was highlight who this store would be good for!) and I get a response like that. Especially ending in her saying "I hope you have a better day than I now will have". It's all very unprofessional.

Where do we even begin? Ash + Oak brought our Dutch Masters vision to life in a way that truly took…read moreour breath away. From the moment we walked in on our wedding day, the florals were nothing short of stunning and dripping with the elegance we had always imagined. What set Ashley and Katie apart was their extraordinary attention to detail. Every arrangement was thoughtfully crafted, but what really blew us away was that they customized each table arrangement to match the theme of its individual table card. Guests loved it so much that they made it a mission to see what each and every table looked like. It's that level of care and artistry that elevates florals into something truly unforgettable. Ashley and Katie's quality, professionalism, and creative talent speak for themselves. They listened, they understood our vision, and then they exceeded it (and even came in clutch for a last second arrangement for the bridal shower)! Six months later, people still talk about how they have never seen flowers as beautiful as they saw at our wedding. If you are looking for a florist who approaches their craft like a true artist, we cannot recommend Ash + Oak highly enough.

I had done day-of-coordinating for a few weddings and Ash+Oak caught my eye at one of the weddings…read moreI worked. Since the wedding I kept thinking about their flower arrangements. When it was my turn to get married, I asked for a quote but couldn't get myself to spend thousands of dollars on flowers, so I ended up using another florist for my COVID wedding ceremony. Almost a year later we had our delayed wedding reception and after planning one wedding, I decided to spend money the second time around on things I loved - the top being flowers. I hired Ash + Oak this time and I was SO PLEASED. Not only did they provide beautiful flowers for us on our wedding day, but they were also extremely professional leaving me with little to worry about outside of telling them the color scheme I preferred. They worked with my day-of-coordinator for arrival time and when I arrived at my reception, all the flowers were in place. I had seen many photos, so I trusted their design and gave them little instruction. I asked them for a summery feel with a romantic color pallet with blush, mauve, accents of yellow/blue and they delivered! I couldn't stop staring at the wedding bouquet when we were taking photos!! I received so many complements (including from my grand-aunt who is extra picky about flowers). I am so thankful for their craft, design, and eye. Looking back at the photos of the flowers makes my heart so happy! Thank you Ash + Oak!
