Working with Kiara and the Blue Blossoms team was an absolute dream. As a very Type A bride with a clear and specific vision for my wedding, especially when it came to the flowers,...
I knew I needed a florist who could truly understand and execute every detail—and they did not disappoint.
Flowers were incredibly important to me. I wanted our guests to feel immediately welcomed and immersed in the celebration with vibrant, warm-colored spring blooms thoughtfully placed throughout the venue. Kiara completely embraced my vision and brought it to life in the most stunning way. From the ceremony space to the reception tables, every arrangement was breathtaking—full of color, texture, and joy.
They not only delivered exactly what I had imagined, but also went above and beyond, adding creative touches and thoughtful placement that elevated the entire atmosphere. And incredibly, they did all of this within my budget, which still amazes me.
Seeing the floral designs for the first time on the day of the wedding was genuinely one of the most emotional and joyful moments for me. The flowers brought so much life and beauty to the space—and our guests could not stop raving about them!
I’m endlessly grateful to Kiara and her team for their talent, professionalism, and passion. They made me feel heard, supported, and inspired throughout the process. If you’re looking for a florist who can turn your vision into something magical, look no further than Blue Blossoms.

Kiara and the entire team at Blue Blossoms were an absolute dream to work with. From our very first conversation, Kiara got my vision and somehow turned it into something even more...
beautiful than I imagined. The florals were stunning, thoughtfully designed, and truly elevated the entire look and feel of our wedding.
Every bouquet, arrangement, and detail was flawless—fresh, elegant, and perfectly curated. I received so many compliments from guests, and I honestly couldn’t stop admiring them myself. Beyond the incredible talent, the Blue Blossoms team was professional, kind, responsive, and a calming presence during the planning process (which is priceless for a bride!).
If you’re looking for florals that feel intentional, luxurious, and full of heart, Blue Blossoms is it. I’m beyond grateful to Kiara and her team for bringing so much beauty to one of the most special days of our lives. Highly, highly recommend 💐✨

Wow - the Blue Blossom Florists team blew us away with our wedding day florals. From the second we reached out to express interest, to the moment we actually got to see the florals...
, the entire process was so seamless, professional, and incredibly beautiful. Kiara was the main person that we worked with; she was such a delight to work with. Her professionalism, responsiveness, clear communication, creative direction, and willingness to work with our vision and budget -- she really made our experience 10/10 :)
Now the florals themselves were so dreamy - gorgeously arranged, and lasted multiple days after. We were able to repurpose the florals from the ceremony at our dinner reception, and they added the perfect touch of color and whimsy to our day.
We HIGHLY recommend you work with Blue Blossoms if you want a high quality, luxurious florals experience with the kindest, most passionate and professional team.

We are so immensely grateful for Kiara and the Blue Blossoms team for creating the florals of our dreams for our wedding!!! Before we met Kiara, my husband and I were having a hard...
time finding a florist that fit our budget while also having beautiful arrangements and good service; however after we spoke with Kiara on the phone, that all changed! My husband and I aren't super knowledgeable about flowers and really just based our inspo on Pinterest pictures. Other florists we spoke to were a bit pretentious about that and sort of talked down to us, but Kiara was sooo helpful and kind! She gave us so many ideas that I never would have thought of and really expanded on what we were asking for, which made for even more stunning arrangements than I could have imagined!! Everything on the day of was absolutely stunning and exactly what we were hoping for and more! Everyone, including our planner, complimented us on the flowers and how whimsical and enchanted they were, which was exactly what we wanted! Thank you again Kiara and the Blue Blossoms Team!!

Choosing Blue Blossoms as the florist for my wedding was one of the best decisions I could have made in the wedding planning process. From the initial reach out until wedding...
day, they were super responsive and always happy to help and answer questions. During the initial consultation, I shared some references for my inspiration and they asked all the right questions to ensure I was getting exactly what I wanted out of my wedding florals. I had some adjustments to my vision along the way and they were very flexible and happy to accommodate. I worked closely with Kiara who was such an angel. I never felt like I was being a burden with all my questions or taken advantage of. She was professional, transparent, kind, and a joy to work with from beginning to end. On wedding day, I was blown away with the final results. Blue Blossoms not only nailed my vision but exceeded my expectations. They did such a beautiful job with the florals and I could not be happier. Plus, they were extremely timely in delivering my bouquet, setting up the ceremony + reception florals, and transporting the florals from ceremony to reception. Everything was executed perfectly. I could not recommend Blue Blossoms enough!

ul floral arrangements they made for our special day. Kiara was my main contact and she was the best! She was so incredibly helpful, knowledgable and patient with me throughout the months long process. I sent her some inspiration photos on Pinterest and she took that and ran. The florals for our wedding were stunning and beautiful - I received so many compliments and I was obsessed with them. They exceeded all of my expectations and I am so happy with how everything turned out. The quality of the arrangements were stellar and the selected flowers were perfect.
I would highly recommend Blue Blossoms for your wedding or special event. They are simply amazing and were an absolute pleasure to work with!!

edding venue fell through and we had to revise some plans and downsize - she never made us feel bad for changing plans and was soo accommodating along the way. The florals were exactly was I wanted and then some. Not to mention an amazing value
I can’t say enough amazing things about this team, and I look forward to working with them in the future. Do yourself a favor- get on a call with Kiara and enjoy the process

nd the team at Blue Blossoms were ALL STARS! Super responsive, sweet and once I sent my 'vision' picture of what I wanted my table to look like, Kiara sent me links to products I could buy that would make my vision happen. She made it so easy for me. She was spot on, and even if I had different ideas, I'd run them by her first and we could decide which items were best. I was happy to purchase items because I knew I'd want them for myself for future dinner parties. She knows the Santa Barbara are so well, so she was able to tell me if my choices would compete with or ENHANCE my vision based on the setting of the restaurant I selected. I was stressed until I connected with Kiara...she helped me to put it all together, seamlessly. I ordered some items and shipped them directly to their store. She called to ensure me they had arrived safely and looked perfect. I trusted them so much that I did not even see the venue/table until we all arrived and I was blown away. The simple, organic beauty was breathtaking. The attention to detail was very noticeable. Lastly, going above and beyond, I had Blue Blossoms take all the flowers, candles, pottery, fruit to a second location after we finished dinner. They were timely and efficient and everything looked amazing at our next venue too...all set up before the guests arrived. I highly recommend this business.

Blue Blossoms provided us with the perfect bouquet and boutonniere for our elopement! Even though we didn't have a traditional wedding, we still wanted to splurge and have fun with...
a photoshoot in wedding attire and we knew we needed flowers that would stand out. I found Blue Blossoms on Instagram and knew I wanted to go with them. I coordinated with Blue Blossoms well in advance of my event. Fast forward to the big day, Blue Blossoms dropped off the flowers at our hotel concierge at the requested time (they were not late at all and of course on such a big day, that is very important!) and they turned out beautifully!!!! I absolutely loved my bouquet so much and my now husband's boutonniere matched perfectly. My bouquet had a beautiful protea in the middle, which made it soo unique and I received so many compliments. The bouquet is a stand out in our pictures. I LOVED them so much and they will truly make a lasting memory from what was a fantastic, special day. I highly recommend Blue Blossoms!!!

opted to trust them with the details (and didn't provide a ton of guidance myself), and it paid off. Communications is excellent, the flowers were delivered on time and the packaging was perfect. The flowers themselves exceeded my expectations in all aspects. We ordered my bridal bouquet, a pocket boutonniere for my husband, wrist corsages for our mother's and traditional boutonierres for our dads, brother-in-law, and nephew. Every single thing was utterly perfect!! My bouquet blew me away and I am so in love with it. I would recommend Kiara any day of the week to anyone getting married in Santa Barbara.

Blue Blossoms is amazing! They delivered the most incredible arrangements for our wedding. We feel grateful to have found such a caring and detail-oriented team.
Everything was c...
ompleted well before the ceremony and they nailed the vision. They added gorgeous florals that I didn’t initially think of and it absolutely elevated all of the arrangements. They paid attention to everything requested via email (screenshots & ideas to contribute to the vision) and items I called out during my in-person meeting. They accommodated a custom, memorial bouquet and added it to our order a week out from the event. We appreciate their flexibility and for honoring our overall vision.
A couple of things to note: (1) Communication can sometimes be a challenge, as in waiting several days for an email response. The BB team is wonderful, just be prepared to follow-up on emails. (2) On the wedding day, we were bummed to see that the arch didn't have the agreed-upon coverage (presented with a reference photo that showed far more fullness than the day-of arch). If that is important to you, ensure you triple-confirm with the shop that you are on the same page on coverage amounts and what you paid for. Other than that, we are happy as can be about how everything turned out.
Even with the minor hiccups of communication and arch coverage, Blue Blossoms deserves 5-stars for their excellent display and care for our wedding florals throughout. I will happily refer them to all my friends getting married in the Santa Barbara area. Thank you SO much for all your hard work and dedication you put into our wedding florals!
