I hired Veronica for both month-of and day-of wedding coordination services, and unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. Communication and coordination did not meet the expectations that were outlined when I booked her services. I did not receive substantial communication until approximately two weeks before the wedding, and during that time I was still managing vendor communication myself. Additionally, I had to correct information that had been communicated to vendors. Two days before my wedding, Veronica informed me that she had taken on more work than anticipated and would need to step back from some of her responsibilities. Receiving this information so close to the wedding was stressful, especially since I had hired and paid for professional coordination services specifically to alleviate that burden. While the floral aspects of her work were handled adequately, I did not receive the level of coordination and support that I expected from a month-of and day-of coordinator. Several responsibilities that I understood to be part of her role were either not completed or ultimately fell on me, my husband, and our guests to manage. These responsibilities included gathering family members and the wedding party for the rehearsal, leading the rehearsal itself, coordinating our grand entrance, overseeing ceremony music cues, facilitating the cake cutting, dismissing tables for dinner, and maintaining an active presence throughout the wedding to ensure events ran smoothly. Unfortunately, there were multiple times during the wedding when neither we nor our guests could locate Veronica when assistance was needed. In fact, several guests commented afterward that they thought we did not have a wedding coordinator because they rarely saw one present. While our wedding ultimately came together thanks to the efforts of our family, friends, and vendors, this was not the experience I expected after hiring and paying for professional coordination services. What was most disappointing was Veronica's response when concerns were raised after the wedding. Rather than taking accountability for the responsibilities that were not fulfilled, she repeatedly offered excuses and attempted to justify why certain duties were not completed. At no point did I feel that she acknowledged the impact her actions had on our wedding day or accepted responsibility for the shortcomings in the services provided. Instead of addressing my concerns directly, I felt that blame was shifted elsewhere. As a paying client, I expected honesty, accountability, and professionalism when discussing legitimate concerns. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. In the screenshots below, you will find the message Veronica sent me just two days before our wedding, which took place on May 30. I found it very concerning to receive a message from my coordinator at such a critical time stating that she had taken on more than she anticipated and would be stepping back from some of her responsibilities. Again, she made excuses explaining that her job as coordinator is difficult when she is not involved from day 1. Then maybe do not offer month of coordination.. You will also find an email in which Veronica stated that she would be in charge of the ceremony music and that we simply needed to provide a playlist, which we did in the exact order of appearance. Despite previously agreeing to handle this responsibility, she later did not take accountability for the issues that occurred and instead attempted to shift responsibility elsewhere. Also in the email, she writes that she will send out a wedding timeline on May 12th. We received the timeline from Veronica on May 22nd, 1 week before the wedding. I encourage anyone considering booking Veronica to take this review into consideration when making their decision. My intention is not to discourage anyone from working with her, but to share my experience honestly so that future clients can make an informed choice. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not recommend her services. read more

I came across her business while strolling around the shops. She owns a floral business and sells goodies, candles, healing items up front. I've been having issues with gut health / bloating / unexpected weight gain due to medical issues. The owner was very informative on the products she sells and recommended an item for me. It's been 3 straight days using the item and it has decreased my bloating without having to drink detox teas or bloating pills. I put this business on my recommendations list and advise any JT/YV visitors to come here :) read more

BEST FLORIST GYPSY EVER. I had a smaller budget than we both wanted so Veronica was limited with what she could work with in regard to flower choices but her work turned out better than I could ever expected!!! I was in love with it all and fit the venue beautifully! I took it upon myself to try and save some funds and make little succulents name cards myself and spent close to 10 hours making them! It's just something to think of when asking your florist for little things that seem easy, but take FOREVER!!! I would hire Veronica in a HEARTBEAT. Such wonderful energy as well to have around on your special day/events!!! read more

Veronica is such a beautiful spirit, which comes out in her floral designs! She loves putting together arrangements that are not only uniquely her style, but somehow are exactly "right" for each client she designs them for. I have never seen anyone work harder for her business, or want to make sure her clients get exactly what they envisioned. If you are looking for a florist with a personal touch, who is not only professional but fun to work with, you'll love her! read more

Our wedding day isn't here yet (postponed due to Covid) but it's coming up soon! I'm writing my review now because I know it will be amazing and we have received the best costumer service from Veronica. After having to cancel our bigger wedding and losing so much money, in addition to breaking ties with so many vendors who did not care to work through this with us, Veronica at The Bloomin Gypsy remained thoughtful, caring, and flexible to work with us and not let any money go to waste. When you have to cancel or postpone such a special day it's hurts; it's so much planning and excitement gone to waste it feels like. You also get to see people's (companies) true colors. Veronica was the little bit of sunshine we needed in these really sucky times. She offered so many different solutions and didn't make us stick to a specific timeframe in order to not lose money. She is one of the very few vendors we've remained in contact with and continued to work with on our new date. I know our day will be amazing and I CAN'T WAIT to see these florals. I will update this review later with pictures of our special day. Thanks again Veronica, we are so grateful for you! read more

We hired Veronica for our April wedding at Sacred Sands in Joshua Tree and LOVED working with her!

Veronica is so talented and has amazing taste and we couldn't recommend her more highly. read more

Veronica is just the sweetest soul. She took our vision and executed on it flawlessly. We ended up with the most amazing rehearsal dinner and wedding florals. Both were completely appropriate for the respective venues and lush, full, colorful and beautiful. Our rehearsal dinner florals used bright sunflowers and eucalyptus, and our wedding day florals used succulents. They were just breathtaking and so unique -- we got so many compliments! We did most of our planning with V via email, and she was always very responsive. A couple of months before the wedding, we stopped into her shop and were able to see her vision for the weekend in person. She is truly an artist and you will not be disappointed! Thanks again, V! read more

When you want to give flowers to someone who is stylish, amazing, and just all around a cool person in honor of a special occasion, you can do it yourself by hitting up your local farmers market or flower wholesaler or you can outsource to a trusted, local florist. But, what do you do when you are over 1000 miles away and need a unique bouquet that has less of a FTD and more of a Kinfolk Magazine vibe? If you are lucky, you will find Veronica and The Bloomin Gypsy. When I saw her Strawberries and Succulents arrangements, I knew she would be able to create something memorable -- both beautiful and funky. I contacted her by email. Yes, she had availabilty. Yes, she could deliver. Yes, yes, yes! Veronica made the whole transaction easy, my friend looooved the bouquet, and now I'm wishing I was closer so I had more occasions to use The Bloomin Gypsy. read more

We booked Veronica for our wedding in November at Luce Loft in downtown SD and she did an absolutely amazing job! Completely transformed the space with tons of eucalyptus garlands and beautiful arrangements. Numerous guests commented on how wonderful the space smelled with all the eucalyptus. She is an absolute pro and made all the planning and execution so easy. If you want understated elegance and sophistication then Blooming Gypsy is the call. read more

Veronica made my wedding day! From our initial meeting to the event itself, she made every attempt to make our vision a reality. It's always meaningful when a vendor is not just someone selling you a service, but is also someone who takes your unique story to heart and becomes a friend in the process. Almost every flower was exactly what we had envisioned, and the few exceptions were scenarios where we knew what was in season or our budget restrictions might limit what we could do, something she advised us of well in advance. At no point did I feel pressured to spend more than I wanted to, and you would have no idea that we limited our budget for flowers to the degree that we had because from the bouquets to the garlands, she made the most of every dollar and helped us make smart choices that still allowed us to realize the look and feel we wanted. I loved my bouquet so much that I took it on my honeymoon with me - it made our entire honeymoon suite smell incredible and made me feel like the day carried on long after it was over. I would (and have) recommend The Bloomin' Gypsy to anyone! Jessica read more

All of my guests had nothing but an endless stream of compliments about the florals, and my mother said that she was the most wonderful vendor she had the opportunity to meet.
