After years of driving by this place and being taunted by my inability to go in without a hookup I finally had the opportunity to accompany someone into the forbidden walls of the Shinoda Design Center. Having grown up in LA, I have fond memories of going to Moskatel's to get supplies for events, parties and celebrations so this place brought up some warm nostalgic childhood memories. On the day we visited there was a demonstation on how to create and decorate a wreath. I'm not a very creative, artsy or talented person so seeing someone bring their vision to life is always interesting. After the demo we walked around and boy was there a lot to look at. I did notice that pricing is all over the place. While you may find a savings here on some items, there are also items that are much cheaper elsewhere. I'm so glad I finally got to go inside and explore and even purchase a few items. read more

Love this place!!! But as I went to pay I was asked for business license. I did not know this was a store just for businesses, as I seen this on instagram. So sad :( read more

They have the worst customer service. Not all Employees know exchange or return policy. Will never set foot in their business again. Employees are rude, disrespectful and snotty. read more

I still love in 2026! As much as ever and always good to see familiar faces, but so sad to see some have gone on to the heavens above. My review in 2014 stands. Customers need to remember this is a trade business. Not showy or flashy, but helpful when needed and professional in every way. read more

Wow! Wow! Wow! The building itself is over 180,000 square feet! The inventory is never ending! It's cold inside because it's a warehouse, so bring a light jacket if you are cold easily. Every major holiday and everything in between. Pretty end cap displays. A huge variety of everything! Staff needs to smile more, they don't acknowledge you while walking down an aisle. Some prices are good while some are a bit high, even at wholesale prices. read more

This warehouse is an OC version of Muskatels in DTLA huge inventory surplus of all holidays decorations

You can find anything you can think of. My favorite place to shop for Christmas or any event. Our Christmas tree 2023 look at our pictures and we bought everything from here. read more

Had a chance to revisit to update my Christmas tree this year and I am so glad I returned here. They have such wonderful inspirational pieces, whether or was Christmas trees or a party or event to plan for. Received so many compliments on my Christmas tree this year and it is because of all the decorations I selected from Shinoda's. Great prices, too. Filled a 9-ft tree with several ornaments, faux plant accessories, and ribbons. Excellent customer service too! They seemed very prepared and well-staffed. I found help on each aisle I happened to be exploring. Excellent shopping experience! read more

Location is in an industrial area and a huge warehouse completely fenced in. The inside is just the same. Cold, dirty and completely disorganized. To print your receipt is from a printer from the 80's in triplicate form. There's treasures to be found if you have the time to travel through the aisles looking up and down. Plenty of basic items weren't stocked. ie, tissue paper, gift bags, crinkled stuffing. Plenty of empty ribbon shelves. Some kind of organization for the seasons in the front but there's more along the aisle somewhere. It's an interesting place. read more

Well stocked, always clean, the best staff!! They go above and beyond in helping you get what you need or ask for!!

Such a beautiful selection for the DIY'er. So many beautiful, quality items to choose from. Of course you have to have a wholesale license. The selection is amazing and every holiday offered all year round. Incredible LED candles. LED battery lites. So much! For me, it was better than a candy shop. Beautifully displayed. Clean as Disneyland. Ribbons Ribbons! Ribbons! You name it. You will find it. And more! To satisfy your decorating desires. read more

You have to sign up for a free membership to shop here. You can apply for a membership if you show them a business license. They claim it is a wholesale business but their prices are hit and miss. Some of their glass vases are reasonable but that's about it. They have lots of ribbons but they don't seem like they are wholesale prices . I've only been there once and I was overwhelmed on how big the place is. I walked the entire place 3 times. I think if I was going to throw a party and need items, I would go back there again. read more

If you are looking for that decor that you can't live without, this is the spot. Maybe 60% of my house is stuff I got at Shinoda. When you first walk in, it's almost overwhelming the amount of styles and looks and types of decor you can get. But it's fabulous. They have designed "looks" at the end of each aisle and you can easily find what you need. I was in recently looking for pandemic crafts and found my entire beachy Christmas decor! I can't rave enough about the variety here but during a pandemic they also operate very well. Staff wears PPE, there's lots of distancing signs, there's hand sanitizer. It's a great comfort to go there. read more

where to begin. Basically it's a huge warehouse filled with overpriced dust collector items. They do, however, have some nice vases and candle holders if you're an event planner but again, its overpriced. Nothing here screams wholesale price. Some items are even more expensive here than Walmart!! You need your sellers permit to shop. read more

Had to go back in the store because one of the bags of items was never given to us and still sitting in the bagger section. Thankfully he didn't give to another customer. Get home to find out this was another Royal fail on a Christmas tree purchase from this place. I never post from purchases here, but after so many problems and wasted hours and money, I have to voice this. Spend $400 (sale price) on a Christmas tree and the box is falling apart, wrapped sides and looks like something they taped together to hold the tree in. We finally wrangle this broken crappy box up the stairs and spend an hour to put the tree up and half the lights are OUT and NO bulb replacements in the box, NO paperwork about the tree or type of bulbs...SO of course there are NO instructions EITHER - figures! Special bulbs, so we can't even take from extra lights we bought for other decorating. The store is closed, so my husband had to go to Home Depot and paid $16.00 for a special tool (voltage detector) to hopefully figure this out on our own, before we waste more hours and time to go back there again to return this crappy tree. The bulbs are not like any of the other trees, so a wasted evening and now we taking time away from the business tomorrow to box up this beast and tape up a giant broken box to take it back. LAST TIME! read more

Fir crafts, decorations, parties, good quality dried flowers, design ideas, special events, pots, party creations. Good prices great choices. Love the aisle creative design ideas by theme. read more

I didn't have the same experience with bad customer service like other reviewers did. I really just need a few simple items and I had the hookup with a free membership from someone in the floral industry. I was warned the place was huge. Hours later I found my way out of the vast warehouse of every possible do-hickey you could ever need to craft or decorate with. For some items the prices were slightly lower than the chain craft stores. I did spot a few good deals on things I don't normally use though. It's a huge drafty warehouse, wear a sweater. I wish I had gloves, I was freezing! read more

Shinoda Design Center - Blinded by the bling - Florists Near Me - Santa Ana, California

This is the mothership of wholesale floral, event and party supplies. You want ribbon? The biggest selection you will find anywhere. You want vases to make your own center pieces for that special event? Or baskets? Or silk flowers? Or trees? Christmas items? You will find the decoration you need for any event. This is a wholesale only shop (meaning you have to be a reseller) but membership is free. Students taking floral design classes at the local colleges have gotten temporary cards as well so they can buy supplies for their classes. The place is definitely huge, like a large Costco, so it is easy to get lost in. At least items are stocked in some semblance of order so it's not too hard to find what you are looking for. And there's always the helpful people up front that can point you in the right direction. read more

In case you haven't hear of Shinoda, it's a "wholesale" warehouse / design center for businesses only. They specialize in décor/display merchandise. Prices are no longer discounted like they used to be though, and a business license is still required to shop here (they check when you pay, not when you enter). But you can still come and look around, check out their displays, and get tons of ideas. Lots of seasonal décor items, lots of floral, and tons of containers/vases. I come here because they have tons of stock, so if you're throwing a big shindig and need 20 centerpieces, they'll have them on hand. Lots of employees roaming around, so if you see something and want to know if they have more in back, they can check for you. They just radio to the warehouse in back, and have it brought to the front for you. It can be overwhelming to find what you want, so take advantage of the plentiful employees and just ask. For those who haven't been here in awhile, they are now open on weekends, and kids are no longer prohibited. They just ask that you keep them within arms length. read more

This store wins for the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced! I went to Shinoda with a friend on April 11 to purchase accessories for my house and especially for my upcoming Housewarming Party. I spent almost $160 and before I got home, one of the vases I bought was already shattered to pieces! I immediately called them to let them know and went back the next day to see if I could exchange it. I was absolutely shocked when they refused to exchange it and wanted to charge me such a large restocking fee that it made no sense to buy the vase over again. Mark Shinoda is the General Manager (and probably the owner) and was extremely rude and lacked any sense of business or customer service. I'd rather pay double then ever go to this store again! read more

Before you read this, this is FOR THE TRADE ONLY! I've been here for years way before Yelp. Its like a huge Costco with nothing but floral decoration anything you could think of. This place makes Michael's and Hobby Lobby like little Mini-Me. They have faux floral and real florals. Lots of accessories for decorating. Be prepared to spend hours here. This is not your typical craft store. Plenty of parking. read more

While it's true that Shinoda carries many items for Christmas and lots and lots of ribbon in every color and pattern you can imagine, their prices are definitely not what I would consider wholesale. In fact, in my experience, they are often the same or more expensive than Joanne's or Michaels, and definitely when using a coupon. In fact, I'm not sure why they insist you have a resale license to shop there. If you are looking for something unique in terms of decor or for a wedding, you will most likely find it at Shinoda. Just be prepared to pay regular retail prices. The only things I have found cheaper there was some of their dishware and some candles. I have found better prices on glassware (such as vases, etc) at Home Goods. The place is very large and you could easily spend a few hours in there looking at everything, but be sure you know what you are looking for and price it out before you go. read more

My boyfriend just called me from this place. Asking the woman (employee) if they carried an item he was interested in for different sizes. To his surprise she seemed to be BOTHERED & ANNOYED to help him. To bad she didn't stay home today. I hope the company catches on she loosing business for them. Needless to say he decided to spend his $$$$$ elsewhere! To bad she wasn't wearing a "Name Tag" ;) read more

I enjoy going to Shinoda Design Center around the holidays. All the end caps are decorated with beautifully themed displays which gives me ideas and gets me excited about Christmas. This year I am spending much of my time making Christmas wreaths so Shinoda has become my second home. The prices are much better than you'd find in a specialty store and Michaels or Joann's doesn't have the elegant selection that Shinoda's has. I saw some silk flowers yesterday in a specialty Christmas shop selling for $13 a stem. I saw the same silk flowers at Shinoda's for $4. The savings is significant. However, I will say that the savvy shopper will price compare because sometimes a 40% off coupon at Joann's or Michaels will save you more money than buying something at Shinoda's. Half the fun of going to Shinodas is to get lost in the store. You literally have to take it aisle by aisle. There is so much stuff that you can't just go pick an aisle and know exactly where the type of flower you want is. It's not like a Michaels--there is no kids arts and crafts section, or picture frame section or sticker aisle. The organization is a different style. The flowers are mainly organized by color or by theme (e.g. Fall, foodstuffs, garlands etc...). But you have to be careful to not miss a thing because every once in a while you find a rogue flower that you would've missed before had it been filed correctly! That's why I take the mindset of just going down each aisle regardless of what I'm looking for. You never know when you'll spot the perfect thing for your designs. Glassware isn't the cheapest price i've seen, but it's not bad. They have a decent selection of generic vases, but you are hard pressed to find a really elegant vase for a decent price. I can get nicer stuff at Pottery Barn for a similar price. You have to pick and choose the savings. Shinoda is so popular lately that the lines do get long, but it's a hit or miss. The last 3 times I've gone I waited a whole 5 minutes in line. Not too bad. But, when the line is long it is atrocious. It's true, the clientele isn't young and there are women in there who talk like they're in a 1980s walking nail salon. "Oooohhh Martha, wouldn't Karen just love this? You know she has the gout...."What's even better is the mothers who bring their bridezillas in the store. You know the saying that it's not the bride who is the zilla, it's the mother...well it's true. I half enjoy going down the wedding aisle and listening to mom and daughter bicker about decor. It's entertaining. The one thing Shinoda does need is a man couch. It's not often you see men in the store, but when some unlucky boyfriend or husband gets dragged along it would be nice to have a place for them to sit that's not under a floral gazebo. Overall I don't think I could live without Shinoda. Go and check it out!!! read more

Second time at this business. Has a huge private parking lot and has easy parking access to the store. Today's month of July and they had displays after displays of Halloween and Christmas decorations. This warehouse is ginormous with decorations for any and all occasions. I love shopping here with many, many options for decors. It's like shopping at Costco for food except worse here in terms of amount of $ that can be spent. I just wish it was open to anyone, not just those with membership cards. read more

This place has really gone down hill! The floor is a disaster, totally disorganized. It takes forever to find what you're looking for. Be sure you don't over buy here because there is a strict 7-day return policy and the customer service is poor. On my most recent visit I had some items to return (within the window) and they were so rude. I'll never go back. Save your time, money and sanity and shop at Micheals or Hobby Lobby. read more

I came here with a friend (who has a cousin with a membership), to check out some supplies for my wedding. OH EM GEE, this place is amazing. I walked into Shinoda having no idea what to expect, and was more than pleasantly surprised after spending THREE HOURS shopping around. Yes. THREE HOURS, haha! From the silk flowers (which look incredibly real), to the decorate candle holders, arches, and baskets.. I was floored by the variety of supplies and affordability of the items. I will surely be back again and again for not just my wedding, but every other event I host! read more

It is a HUGE place with so many interesting and useful supplies. It can get crowded. Although it is trade only, it seems like almost everyone has a card. On my visit today, I asked an employee 2 questions and both answers she gave me were incorrect but this as the first time I have been steered wrong. Everyone is pleasant and helpful ( albeit incorrect today). Watch the prices. Most are great but there are some that are oddly high. Overall, a great resource. I will always return happily. read more

A hidden treasure! You will find all your design, decorative needs here at this warehouse. You just need a whole card and you are except from taxes! Prices aren't floor bottom cheap. 4 pomander balls 4 inch size = $9.95 Square rectangular vases $9.50/one if you buy 10 or more. read more

Shinoda Design Center is a like a Costco but for almost any decoration item you could think of. It took me forever to walk through but at at the same time it was cool looking at items that they had. If you are looking for a specific item it may take you a while to find it by yourself since the place is so big. Pros: Has everything and at bulk price Cons: Have to have a business to be able to become a member read more

I used to really love this place. But of course after Covid everything is dusty and a lot are in dirty plastic bags. The flowers are great and berries etc. I have been doing the boutique items all hand made wreath, swags garlands etc for our church for the last 25 years and love doing it for them. It's no small task and is held at some places such as the Langham in Pasadena. I'm always looking for great deals which Shinoda has. Order also from Los Angles wholesale district but the shipping is outrageous. So came here last week. Got to see their designer in action. He is very helpful and does a great job on the end caps with beautiful displays. But it is really hard to find the items that he uses. And the place is like a football field in length. Wear comfy shoes, cause I love going down each isle. My friend came with me. She has a good eye for beautiful things. She bought some six foot berry garland and paid $16.00 dollars for each of them. I saw them and add 4 of them to my order. My order was over $300.00 dollars. So I didn't notice that When I got home they charged me $22.00 for each of mine. Since I donate a lot of time and money to the church I can't afford mistakes like that. So my reason for 3 stars is be more careful than me watch what they are ringing up. I will come again. I just have to pay more attention to the cashier. I also hope they get more employees to clean the place up. read more

I have always loved shinoda and bought from them for years... Today I had a couple returns knowing I would have to pay the 15% restocking fee the lady was incredibly rude - there is no reason for that at all - we are all busy this time of year I was here before the cut off date for Christmas decoration returns... she refused many of the items I was returning - my decorator was right she no longer comes here as it's not cheaper and customer service is really poor - makes more sense to go to Michaels - coming from my decorator - I'll only come here for ribbon from now on read more

I can not believe how RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL supervisor CHRISTINA QUIJANO is. I addressed this with her, and no "customer is right" attitude at this place.... she became more ABRASIVE!!! Do not shop here if you expect polite customer service!!! AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL read more

HORRIBLE RETURN POLICY!!! Just be aware, if you try to return something...you only have 7 days and you will be charged a restocking charge of 15%. Furthermore, if it says final sale...you're screwed. The manager is not accommodating and will not work with you at all to return the item, even if you ask only for a percentage of the price you paid. Be very careful on your purchases and make sure when you buy something...it's what you really want as it can be a very expensive lesson to learn their horrible return policy. read more

This place is very overwhelming. It is like the size of a costco! This warehouse store is not open to the public and you do have to register and pay a membership fee. I dont see much of a discount in pricing, but they do have an amazing selection of everything you can imagine for event design/decor. What i do not like about this place is its disorganization. Each isle is not really labeled. It is difficult to find what you are looking for and there is not enough employees on the floor to help you out. read more

Customer service here is fair some workers are helpful...but the customer service at the front desk is horrible....walked in for an exchange and the woman at the desk, Christina, was on the phone taking an order but swayed into personal conversation...she didnt take a few seconds to acknowledge that I was standing in front of her nor apologized. Instead she gave me the "what do you want" look. Also, some of the cashiers lack training doing certain transactions which means longer wait times in that single small line. The overall idea of shinodas is good, but could improve. Some items are ridiculously marked up in price. But their biggest area of opportunity is Customer Service. read more

This place is huge! It's like a giant Emporium and if you're looking for a one-stop shop with everything that you need for a special project then this is probably the place to go, but I will agree with the other posters that some of the items are more expensive than what you would find at Michaels for example. Nonetheless if you're looking for something unusual you will probably find it here because the place is so huge that they carry just about everything. read more

To be honest, I rarely buy anything here because I am not a 60-year-old woman buying silk flowers in bulk. Their glassware and candles are more on the expensive side, so I buy those things at other stores (Floral Supply and Michael's, respectively), but they have tons of other cool things. If there is something random that you are trying to find decor-wise, there is a good chance that Shinoda has it, however, it is like searching for the proverbial needle in a haystack. It is kinda fun to wander the aisles though as you can get some neat ideas. I just wish that there was a better way to find what one is looking for. Also, if you do intend to buy something, don't get it in your pretty little head that you can just pop in, grab an item and get out. You will seriously be in line for 30 minutes waiting to check out. Sadly, this is due to all the 60-year-old women buying silk flowers in bulk. read more

If Pier One, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby had a Christmas baby, this would be the result. This warehouse is HUGE. Don't come on an empty stomach because it's easy to get lost in here. It's free to enter and browse, but you need to register with an EIN number or be a teacher to checkout. I discovered this store by chance through a Youtuber, and I loved every moment of it. The customer service was pretty decent, and I will say that the prices are definitely cheaper than retail because I went back home to search for comparable or exact items online, and the prices I paid were much better. They have a unique selection that you can't really find online too. I'm only giving them 4 stars because the cashier overcharged me for an item that she told me she deleted, so I'm hoping that they are able to credit me back without me having to drive back to the store, otherwise I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

My favorite wholesale warehouse to buy all the arts and crafts, vases, baskets, anything! You must be a member to enter here. If you have a business license you may enroll and get a membership. I love their designs/displays so inspiring! I wish I could bring them all home!! Great place to shop wholesale for weddings or business events read more
