Blooms of Santa Barbara

y beautiful presentation of flowers. I truly appreciate the beauty Sandy and her team added to our special day.

n I walked into our venue Villa & Vine and saw the fountain, our sweetheart table, and each guest table I was blown away yet again. Every single flower was stunning and by the end of the night I was asking everyone to take some with them! We took many of the flowers back home to Phoenix and I got my bouquet as well as the bridesmaids baskets pressed and framed, because I wanted to keep the flowers with us forever! 🥹 we thank her so much for being a part of our day and making it look so beautiful , she has a true talent and gift we can’t recommend her enough to other couples!!!

so well versed in florals and has incredible taste. She will offer her input and give you choices and options to work with and is so open and communicative about all of it. When I booked her for my small wedding, I expressed both my joys and my concerns and it felt as though she took on my concerns herself and gave me back so much assurance in return. She put my dream wedding florals together!!! Truly, just so magical. Everyone is still talking about how incredible the florals were and said this was one of the most memorable wedding dinners they had ever been to because of it, even for how intimate it was. She did the most stunning floral runner for us and even took on so much planning and prep work outside of what she needed to do for florals. She truly is a lifesaver and genuinely cares for you to be happy and excited to see your florals. I loved her so much, I had an Indian reception a month later that my parents planned while I was away on my honeymoon in that month, and they booked her for a second event on my request! We had another reception of 250 people and they said the same thing, she went in person to LA and checked out the venue, managed getting permitting for candle usage, handled so many problems that came up while I was away on my honeymoon and was very communicative while I was away because she's very understanding of her clients and wants them to be happy. She managed my parents questions and concerns as well and really went out of her way for us. Not to mention, her work with florals is insanely good. She's so talented! I used to be a wedding planner 10 years prior and never relinquish my creative vision to anyone, and yet Sandy was so reliable, creative, and in control that I felt relieved and excited to hand it to her and trusted in her vision that much. Would 100/10 recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future. My husband and I are SO happy we chose her. Don't miss out, she's the best of the best!!!!

e showed me the flowers for the first time, my beautiful bouquet, the colors, the arrangements, the way she put everything together, was a real dream, I fell in love for every little piece of that! I truly appreciate her work and attention to details, she was just so sweet and helpful the whole time. We very much appreciate everything she did on our special day, it was real dream!

scuss details, pricing, timeline etc. She went above and beyond to make my vision come true. I could not wait to meet her! She is so talented and creative. Attention to detail and execution were perfection. Santa Barbara was a destination wedding for us and I did not have a wedding planner either, so Sandy saved the day and made everything easy for us. I appreciated how understanding she was and listened to what I wanted and helped give additional ideas on areas I was stuck in. Highly recommend, go book her now!

ing. Sandy went above and beyond to make my wife’s vision come to life and keep it within budget. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

rstanding. It felt like I was dealing with a friend. She far exceeded my expectations on my bouquet and table set up. And her level of service is unmatched! The day of the wedding, she dropped my bouquet off early at our airbnb. After the dinner, she picked up all the table flowers, organized them in small bouquets and delivered them the following day to us at our airbnb. We were able to enjoy our wedding flowers for the following week and half! Some are now being pressed to keep for years to come!

ng everywhere in the CA area because Paso Robles has so few vendors (I later realized). I was very particular about my vision and since I live out of state, I had to plan everything from afar. Sandy took the details I had in my head and brought them to life in ways I couldn’t even visualize myself! She went above and beyond, creating a magical garden with the most beautiful arrangements. Our wedding day was supposed to be 80 degrees, but as we got closer the temperature kept rising until day of it was 100! Sandy called me the day before and mentioned that we may not be able to use taper candles for our ceremony, as they would likely bend in the heat and melt. Though heartbroken to hear this, I assured her that she knew best and I would be over the moon no matter what. Come reception time, I see taper candles and the flowers so beautifully arranged. She worked tirelessly in the heat to make everything perfect and I can’t thank her enough! Not to mention, she’s the kindest human and so incredibly talented. Thank you Sandy, you are a dream come true!

d her work as a florist, Sandy is a wonderful human being.

a friend and I'm so glad she was! She brought my dreams of olive branches, white florals and terracotta pots to life! I would highly recommend Sandy for your wedding florals or other special event!

he put together something special! Bursts of red and fuschia and pink - roses and dahlias and I'm honestly not sure what else - made everything bright, colourful, and beautiful to look at. She worked within my budget to create a stunning bouquet, bud vases for our dinner, cake flowers, and a few other arrangements. The flowers were the highlight of my wedding. It helped that she was located right in Santa Barbara, where our wedding was - helped to have everything local. My only regret is not researching in advance a way to preserve the flowers - this was a destination wedding for us, so I had to leave everything behind. I understand there are companies that will press your flowers and turn them into art - had I planned in advance, I would have tried to have found a local company to do that for me and ship them to Connecticut. THANK YOU Sandy for your artistry and EXCELLENT service!

and more!

ds. Sandy’s incredible attention to detail, thoughtfulness, expertise, and eagerness to please and go above and beyond for her couples (of all budget sizes) is unparalleled. The bright, tropical florals for my rehearsal dinner and wedding were easily one of the highlights / talk of the wedding amongst guests. I’m only sad that I can’t preserve everything, but you better believe I’m getting my stunning bridal bouquet preserved. And just on a personal note, Sandy’s vast knowledge of all things SoCal wedding venues / weddings and her empathy in the stress that comes with all things weddings made me feel by the end of my wedding planning journey that I had not come away hiring just a florist for one day, but a genuine friend that I will check in with when I’m in the Santa Barbara area going forward.
