Ambience Floral Design & Gifts

ughout the entire process/chaos. She went above and beyond when she found out we were forced to postpone our event. We decided to have a small ceremony in our backyard on March 28, 2020 so we could still be husband and wife. As soon as counties were being notified that we were all going on lock-down, Katie rushed to her floral supplier and was able to get every flower we had planned on so that we could still have the arrangements we had discussed. Katie was beyond supportive, kind, and extremely flexible. She quickly altered our original plans to fit our now backyard wedding within a week of the date. All of the florals were absolutely stunning and several of our guests commented on how they helped make the wedding feel beautiful! Thank you SO much Katie for helping us still get married and for making our day that much more imperfectly perfect! I cannot wait to work with Ambience Floral and the wonderful Katie again in November when we are able to properly celebrate our marriage at Catta Verdera as originally planned! NOVEMBER UPDATE: Once again Katie did not disappoint! She was so sweet and accommodating for our wedding flowers, especially having to move to a new venue. Her work really made our event come to life! Not only did Katie complete the floral arrangements we requested once, but twice for our second “big” wedding! She is absolutely amazing and her arrangements, bouquets, boutineers, and any other ideas you have with flowers (mine included floral hoops to hang from our ceremony arch) are stunning! Thank you so much, Katie, for making our wedding a dream come true :)

ptions and recommendations that helped me craft my wedding flowers. I don't live near her shop so we had one in-person meeting at the beginning. After that most communication was electronic. After our initial meeting she quickly provided a story board that showed color images of the flowers she envisioned using. I sent updates, changes, questions over the next several months and she kept track of very detail. My questions were answered quickly and clearly. Her prices are fair and she does not try to oversell. We re-purposed items which was environmentally conscious and helped my budget. My wedding flowers which included bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, a ceremony arch arrangement, and table centerpieces were absolutely breathtaking! I wish I could do it again!

team. They were wonderful to work with, very professional, and not overpriced. Katie was mindful of our budget and still able to make our dreams come true. I will be using her for all of my future floral purchases.

y bouquet was beautiful! She even surprised me with wisps of jasmine in it. We brought much of it home after and enjoyed them throughout our house for 2 full weeks! Katie was extremely organized and efficient in every meeting we had. She was patient and flexible when I changed things a few times. She made our big day easy, stress-free and beautiful. Thank you, Katie!

t a lot of quality time on each piece and they used only the most beautiful flowers! Everyone is so kind and helpful from start to finish and it was truly a pleasure working with each person at Ambience. Lori designed each of my pieces and I am so grateful for her attention to detail and her arrangements. My wedding day went so perfectly and everyone said that we had the most beautiful flowers! If anyone is in need of flowers, this is most definitely the only place you should go! They work with your budget and the final outcome will do nothing less than shock and amaze you!

ng. Katie’s artistic vision was apparent the first time we met with her. She was able to articulate what I was envisioning and truly brought all of my dreams to life by following through on every intricate detail. My photographer recalls me as saying I loved my bouquet so much that I refused to put it down! The pictures speak for themselves – every bouquet and arrangement was absolutely stunning! In addition to creating such spectacular arrangements, I cannot speak more highly of Katie’s professionalism and responsiveness. Whether by phone or email, she always got back to me (and my sometimes silly requests) in a timely fashion and was more than willing to accommodate everything. Katie truly helped create my dream wedding and I will be forever grateful to her and her team! Thank you, Ambience Floral Design!

our wedding do not do justice to her work. Katie added a few things that matched our decor and color scheme and I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Ambience Floral Design is the BEST wedding florist around!

e, and was flexible with our budget. I was so happy to see the bouquets arrive on our wedding day - they were even more beautiful than I had imagined. We were both so impressed with the quality of our centerpieces, bouquets, archway, and boutonnieres! My husband and I are still receiving compliments on our flowers.

ces are definitely much higher than other shops I had spoken with, but we went with her at the recommendation of our planner. She was responsive to email and flexible with delivery time/locations( although she added a $600 delivery charge) I would shop around before committing to this shop.

ewed told me everything I wanted was "perfectly doable" and then had an estimate almost 3X my budget. Another told me there was no way I could have beautiful flowers for only $1,000. So when Katie told me that there was no reason I couldn't have a beautiful day and stay within my budget, I wanted to kiss her! She listened to all my ideas, looked at my entire binder of flower designs, and designed an estimate that had everything I hoped for and stayed in my budget. And, for the most part, the wedding flowers were just what I was expecting. The 3 bridesmaid boquets of white roses and purple liseanthus were pretty. A bit small and nothing spectacult, but pretty. I chose small flower centerpieces and rose petals for the tables. They weren't amazing, but they were very pretty and looked nice on the table. I splurged on a large, dramatic arrangement for the escort card table. Besides my own bridal bouquet it was my one big splurge in wedding flowers. And I was somewhat disappointed in it. The gladeolas were pretty, but the hydrangeas looked half dead already, and it just didn't make the statement I have invisioned. I thought it would be a piece everyone would be talking about, and it just didn't turn out that way. I'm not blaming Katie, it just wasn't the piece I was anticipating. Instead, the floral arrangement over the arbor at the ceremony site turned out to be my favorite piece. It was absolutely stunning, and totally Katie's idea. So I guess the lesson I learned was to let the florist come up with the ideas and keep out of it. It was a gorgeous piece and I loved it. I'm so glad it showed up in all the ceremony pictures! My bridal bouquet was amazing. A white 9-inch "dutchess" rose bouquet which basically consisted of one giant white rose and then hundreds of petals hand wired around it to give the illusion of one giant white rose. It was just what I had hoped for and I loved it! Only one thing truly went wrong where the flowers were concerned. I gave Katie my Italian cameo that my grandmother bought for me in Italy to wrap around my bouquet. It was a sentimental touch that made my grandmother happy, and I loved having something so precious close at hand. Right after the ceremony as my husband and I were walking over to a bridge for photos, the cameo flew off the bouquet. By some miracle the photographer caught it and I didn't lose the precious piece, but I was horrified that it wasn't tied onto the bouquet better! All in all I'm glad I hired Katie to do my flowers, and I was pleased with the result. Most of all I loved my bouquet!

wasn't a problem and they would get it for me and right away, they gave me the feeling that I can relax and they will create the floral design and arrangement I wanted no matter what. They were also able to create the look I wanted within the budget I gave them. The only comment I would give is that they should have used a lighter or smaller flower for the junior groomsmen boutonniere to prevent them from falling or going topsy-turvey. Otherwise, everything was excellent and their service superb!

to be. I didn't want the standard roses and Katie did a great job giving me different, romantic and GORGEOUS arrangements! She was so helpful and it was comforting to know that she knew exactly what everything was going to look like and knew exactly what needed to be done. I didn't have to worry about making sure the flowers were in the right place before the event or anything! She even did an amazing job when I came to her the week before to add more centerpieces when our event grew larger than what we originally planned. She was able to create almost a garden feel inside our event without overpowering the room with flowers. My bridal bouquet was perfect and the bridesmaids bouquets were gorgeous and more than what i could have imagined. I will definitely keep them in mind anytime I need flowers for any event!

y listened to what I wanted. Her creativity and vision far exceeded what I thought could be put together. She never made me uncomfortable... welcoming and warm is more like it. Someone that you could talk to without hesitation. I had asked Ambience to create two arrangements throughout our planning... 1 for my bridesmaid that had my shower and another for my mom to be delivered the day before the wedding. I only asked that they represent the wedding... they were the most amazing creations... I knew that the flowers for the wedding would be the same. We had so many compliments from our guests and they went perfectly with everything else at the venue. My bouquet ,that came from a picture, was spot on!! Exactly as the picture!!! I will continue to use Ambience for ANY floral needs I have!!! Above and beyond and customer service to match!! THANK YOU!!!

uld have her work on our wedding. Decor and flowers were the two things that I didn't have to stress about because I trust Katie and her team. I explained my vision to Katie and I had no doubt that when she showed up on our wedding day she would get it just right. Well, she exceeded our expectations!!! From the bouquets to all of the work Katie did to make the tables look perfect, Ambience went above and beyond. I've seen Katie exceed expectations time and time again and blow away couples and their families for years. They never disappoint! Thank you Katie for making our wedding so special. When I look back at the details, Ambience is all over it!

ision was and they were overflowing with artistic ideas and excitement. I wanted yellow and tangerine flowers and a somewhat rustic feel to my wedding and they delivered. Katie and her crew just get it. In our consultation Katie, the owner, immediately suggested lanterns on every table and small mason jars filled with various sprays of flowers with candles all around. I would have never thought of that on my own. She suggested hanging single roses from fishing lines across the dance floor which was beneath large 100+ year old pine trees. She explained how they would twinkle beneath the stars and glow with the candlelight. That is exactly what it was like. I can't tell you how many guests commented on the flowers at our wedding! This is a crew that gets how to create any style of atmosphere at a wedding. They simply understand what bride's want. The above review about them suggesting alternative ideas at a consultation is probably coming from a bride who wants 1,000,000 dollars worth of flowers for 100 bucks and thinks her ideas are always best. No matter what, people like that will always be complaining. The crew at Ambience is not pushy at all- they are great brain stormers and are incredible artists. I can assure you that Ambience Floral Design goes above and beyond and will deliver breathtaking flowers. Ambience also did my best friend's wedding this summer. Between the popping purples and turquoise flowers accenting long peacock feathers at her wedding, and the happy yellow and tangerine flowers at my wedding, I am convinced they know how to jump on board with anyone's vision and create masterpieces. There is a reason Ambience wins KCRA A List every year and people from all over northern CA know of them. They are everything I would ever look for in a florist for my wedding day.I would recommend them to any bride who wants the best flowers, service and experience for their money.

was completely different in color, style and season and each was absolutely beautiful. Not only were the bouquets and centerpieces beautiful on the day of the wedding, but also lasted in my home for another 10 days after the wedding. I highly recommend Ambience Floral Design.

maybe you'll change your mind". She clearly had something in mind already and didn't want to hear anything different. I was also irritated that I emailed her ahead of time regarding budget, which she said she could accomodate, and then after I drove 45 minutes to get to my appointment she told me that my budget was unrealistic. Tell me beforehand, so that I won't waste yours, or my, time!! The only positive thing I can say is that she had beautiful flowers!

ers for my wedding arch. This was something that I had paid for and that was in the contract. It was pretty disappointing as without flowers it looked like my fiance and I just got married under a bunch of sticks. I think it was especially discouraging because out of all my vendors I really trusted and had a lot of confidence in Ambience and did not think that my "something wrong" would happen with them.
