Adorations Botanical Artistry

edding was super important to me. I didn't want to spend a crazy amount of money, but I also wanted to make sure that my wedding was stylish and memorable. I was instantly put at ease when I met with LaVonne. FINALLY someone who understood the look I was going for, and really cared about style and attention to detail. She took care of all the wedding bouquets and centerpieces, as well as candles and two pillars with floral arrangements (for the ceremony, and then moved to behind our sweetheart table)- everything turned out better than I could have imagined. Everyone was commenting on how gorgeous the flowers were. I feel like they really "made" the whole wedding.

ly made our dream wedding come true and every detail was perfect. Coming from a perfectionist myself every detail was attended to and nothing was short of perfection and simply stunning! She is creative, unique and truly knew how to bring our vision to life. And also helped us create our vision! Not only is her work amazing she is the most kind, patient, and thoughtful person who truly cares about her clients.... and just a delight to work with! I knew many years ago when I met her that one day I would want her to do my flowers when I got married (because I saw her work over the years) and she blew all my expectations out of the water. Thank you LaVonne from the bottom of our hearts for helping us create our vision and bring it to life, everything was truly perfect! The ivy in the hut was magical!!! xoxo Kim & Jackson

usband and I, along with all our guests, were beyond impressed by Adorations' work of art - from my hair pieces and lighting decor on night one, to touching almost every piece of our wedding & reception. It was great to see how she interpreted my "midsummer night's dream" vision, utilizing unexpected colors like blue into the mix. She really listened to my asks and went above and beyond every step of the way, with changes in setup and table arrangements up until the last minute. She gave us the most Pinterest worthy dream wedding and we couldn't be happier.

the very start and executed it perfectly. The flowers and décor were simply the best and I could not be more thankful. In my opinion, LaVonne is one of the most talented florists and designers in San Diego. She didn’t hesitate to go above and beyond my expectations in making my wedding very special. Your dedication, organization, knowledge and design talent were the key to making our wedding dreams come true. We are so grateful! We will always recommend you to our loved ones. Best wishes for you and your team!

e truly appreciative, grateful, and blessed we had LaVonne as our designer. I had the opportunity to meet with LaVonne multiple times before our wedding. She is very personal and friendly. LaVonne always took the time to understand not only our vision for the wedding, but my family, the groom, and myself (the bride). LaVonne took the time to get to know me on a personal level, which no other designer had taken the time to do. I truly appreciated her detail oriented work ethic, her outgoing personality, and her artistic vision and execution. During our floral trial, LaVonne blew my mind with her floral creation. Not only had she executed my vision, but also she went above and beyond my imagination. I could not wait to see the flowers and the designs for the day of the wedding. LaVonne created the most beautiful, elegant, and extravagant floral and decor pieces. She created pieces for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. LaVonne created floral pieces for the ceremony gates, floral pieces along the aisle and flower petals for the aisle, and floral pieces for the altar. She created the most gorgeous bridal bouquet for the bridal party and me. The bouquet took my breathe away and I could not wait to walk down the aisle with those flowers. My bridal party and guest were raving about how beautiful and gorgeous the bouquets were. LaVonne created beautiful small centerpieces with candle for the cocktail hour, which matched the venue beautifully. Finally, the reception had the most gorgeous centerpieces. The ceremony had community tables and LaVonne created centerpieces that ran down the entire center of the table. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous. The centerpieces also included beautiful candle pillars of all different sizes and dimensions. The centerpieces were incredible. My favorite part was the sweetheart table. The sweetheart table was placed in front of a fireplace. LaVonne created a floral piece for the fireplace which ran the length of the top of the fireplace and done the sides. The sweetheart table also had a floral piece for the top of the table and for the bottom of the table. The table looked like an enchanted garden. LaVonne went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding. I would highly recommend LaVonne to be your designer for your wedding day or any other special occasion that requires beautiful flowers and designs.

the most frustrating things about planning a wedding (for us) was not being able to see how everything would turn out until day of, but Adorations helped me feel at ease and confident that it would be just as I expected it to be and it was. Adorations put so much care into each and every element, not just florals but votives, table and overall decor. We would highly recommend Adorations Botanical Artistry - they helped to make our big day all that more special.

has a way with taking an idea and turning it into a dream. I chose LaVonne after having done a ton of research of local florists, looking for someone who had an eye for creativity and could create something a little extra unique for our wedding. LaVonne was perfect for it. From our very first phone call (I was an out of town bride, which she worked out amazingly ), she didn't ask the generic questions. She asked about myself, my groom, who we were as a couple, fashion I liked, movies and songs, what we did for fun. She wanted to get to know us to create the wedding environment we'd love. When we got to creating, she was more than just a florist honestly. She became a wedding guru, helping us understand some of the ins and outs of planning, connecting us with a few vendors who we could use for rentals and decor, and also helping us understand what would work with our vision for the wedding overall. This helped me out so much as I had a general idea of what I wanted but she helped specify what would make my wedding pop. We ended up with gorgeous centerpieces for our guest tables, an insanely lush headtable, plus she worked with my Persian Sofreh Aghd vendor to create a stunning wedding table for my ceremony. I have to say though the one key piece she created that I will love the most is my own bouquet -- it was everything I wanted and she truly listened to what I was going for and created it perfectly. Now like I said, I did my research -- met with a ton of florists, looked up their work/reviews/etc. LaVonne in my opinion is THE florist who will listen to everything you're looking for, help you figure out details you're unsure of, and make you feel calm and excited during the whole process. I say the last part especially because both my mom and I worked together on my flowers for the wedding and my mom and I had 2 different ideas of how things should go. LaVonne was a master of working out the ideas, seeing what mattered traditionally and also to me, and created a memorable wedding setting. We're getting compliments still for how gorgeous everything was. She is simply the best and your wedding will be unforgettable if you choose her as a florist!

ed working with LaVonne. She is so phenomenal, and an incredibly creative person. I always felt she was genuinely interested in me and our wedding. Also, she truly captured my vision while considering my budget for the wedding day. I knew she would make the the venue even more beautiful with her tastefully soft floral arrangements. Also, I especially loved the ability to rent decorative pieces from Adorations as well, because there were such amazing lanterns, votives, and other pieces available. On the week of the wedding, rain was on the forecast. I emailed LaVonne with my concerns, and she immediately called me to discuss ideas to compensate for the potentially dreary day. She totally calmed my nerves, and continued to make me feel confident the day was going to be amazing... and it was AMAZING. I feel lucky to have had Adorations as my wedding day florist. I already miss planning with them!

rgeous work she did on my wedding florals! My personality shined through my bouquet and every, single, flower was absolutely perfect. I asked for something really unique; I asked for the flowers to be incorporated into my vintage wedding decor rather than having them be the star of the show and LaVonne was really willing to work with that idea and my budget. I am forever appreciative of her flexibility and creativity in designing exactly what I was looking for!

n’t working so I went to work at Coffee & Tea Collective in East Village. Scattered across the cafe tables, LaVonne’s arrangements caught my eye. Her arrangements were what I was looking for — fresh, casual and loose yet somehow artful and elegant. With gentle persuasion, the barista found me Adorations Botanical Artistry’s number :) What I appreciated most from LaVonne after meeting her at her studio was the philosophy behind her passion. She believed flowers were for everyone, not just for those who could afford them. So she worked with my style (by the way, she was a huge help in defining into words) and advised me on what aspects I could give up to meet my price point without compromising my vision. I needed flowers for the bridal party AND arrangements for 20 farm tables. Both an artist and a business-woman with logistical sense, she really knew her stuff. The end result was a beautiful summer California-tropical wedding with bright and vibrant florals. In my bouquet: vivid coral, pink and orange dahlias were coupled with miniature protea while botanical lush foliages added texture. Our sweetheart table had a bushy eucalyptus garland draped from edge to edge. Each of our farm tables had trios of clear glass apothecary vessels filled with blooms and botanical foliages. It was exactly what I wanted. If you have a vision, LaVonne can put it into words. If you have a budget, LaVonne will be straight up about what’s realistic and what’s possible. Thank you Adorations!! (P.S. Wait until LaVonne shows you her collection of vases and misc vessels)

o worry about setting things up on the day of the wedding. LaVonne even hand delivered my bouquet to me making it extra special. I am so thankful for Adorations. I highly recommend!!!

wildest expectations. While she was preparing my florals the day before the wedding she called to inform me that the flowers were larger that she expected and wanted to do a last minute change. I appreciated her communication and how she really is inspired by the materials she is working with, I told her I trusted her and to do what she thought was best and I am SO happy she did. My friends and family can't stop talking about how amazing the florals were. LaVonne is truly an artist and a super nice person to work with. I can't recommend Adorations enough.

about flowers with a mom who insisted on “lots of flowers everywhere,” I was a little concerned about getting the flowers just right. But I shouldn’t have worried: LaVonne was able to help us find the right kinds of arrangements to get the look and feel we wanted while staying within our budget. One of the few requests I had was for lots of different colors – I wanted bright, vibrant, and something that popped. What she came up with was absolutely magical and better than anything I could have imagined. She even came up with a very creative centerpiece using a large spherical glass vase, which was something I had never seen before. I would certainly recommend LaVonne and her team for your wedding florist, especially if you are a lover of colors, like me!

and I were going for and brought that through in everything from the bouquets, the ceremony flower, centerpieces, and even the cake flowers! . And what her and her team do is so much more than flowers.. she really helped make the atmosphere beautiful and perfect. I received so many compliments on the work she did and I can't stop looking at the pictures.

s really astounded us! She did an amazing installation that hung from wood slats at the Scripps Seaside Forum that we didn't get to see until our wedding day, but when we did, it was the most amazing thing we've ever seen! She really knows her flowers and offers endless possibilities to what she can create for your wedding! Also, she's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, which is important at putting you at ease!

said she is the one. I cannot tell you what an incredible experience it was working with her. At the first meeting, she tries to get an idea of who the bride and groom are and today that is rare. She Listens and she hears what is being said. She has a wonderful calming aspect to her personality that really gives you a feeling of such confidence in her and her abilities. Her artistic side will blow you away!! Everyone who was at the wedding and others who have seen the pictures have commented on how gorgeous it all was and they had never seen such incredible flowers. The design work throughout the venue from the outdoor ceremony and cocktails and then following through to the inside for the reception was truly a work of art. One of the things for my daughter was having a chuppah that was not typical in design, with flowers adorning it. After working on the design aspect of it and meeting with LaVonne, relaying our ideas, she created one of the most breathtaking chuppahs we have ever seen. But above everything else, LaVonne was an absolute pleasure to work with. She showed such patience with every aspect through the planning process, changes and all. She is an absolute professional in every sense of the word. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her again myself some day.

xtra touches like a flower in each folded napkin or additional bouquets on the buffet tables that really made the venue look richly decorated. Adorations coordinated the linen rental and made sure they looked wonderful with the place settings and centerpieces. We were even able to re-use the flowers from the wedding/reception the next day at brunch so the guests were able to enjoy them again! Adorations did an amazing job and I couldn't imagine any prettier arrangements!!
