DO NOT BOOK. They never delivered my flowers for my WEDDING. They also STOPPED answering our phone calls and block us. So we had to rush to go buy flowers last minute. HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. Left us with ZERO flowers and no explanation.
Response from the Vendor on 10/05/2024
Your Flowers got delivered 38 minutes late yes, but bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres, arch florals everything was delivered, you were never left with ZERO flowers, we have pictures your family posted the next day, and the reason we s...
topped getting your calls was when that person on the phone started yelling and calling us vulgar names, Our driver contacted you stating she had a flat tire, she changed the tire, and she is also pregnant, but still made it to deliver your flowers, the ceremony had not started yet, so you, were good, we still gave Taylor, a refund.
The center pieces were beautiful and the bouquets! You can tell that that Irma is passionate about her job! The communication back and fourth was very consistent! My vision was captured and I cannot be any more grateful!
We decided to arrange our own florals but Irma provided all of the flowers, helped me stay in budget and determine what flowers would be best for my day. I would highly recommend.
Any questions?
I really enjoyed working with this florist for my wedding. The prices were great and she designed several beautiful pieces including centerpieces, grounded floral arrangements, gazebo instillations, cake florals, a bridal bouquet, bridesmaids baskets, and boutonnières. All of the pieces looked so beautiful together and really added so much to our wedding. She also was able to put together a bridal bouquet for my bridal photo shoot with short notice. She also let me add on more pieces a few weeks before my weekend. Overall, I thought the flowers were so beautiful and were a great value for the price!

Thank You so very much Many Blessings to you and your Hubby*
I was VERY disappointed with this florist. At first, I was very excited to work with them until my venue contacted me and told me this florist was No Longer invited back to their venue. This florist knew this and STILL took a deposit from me knowing they were not allowed back at my wedding venue. There were previous situations at the wedding venue which caused for them to not be invited back. Find a different florist and save yourself the headache!

You are very wrong, You cancelled your contract and when you cancel your contract, Your deposit is not refundable, and it clearly tells you that on the contract, The Venue The Chandelier of Gruene are our personal friends, and You thought we di...
d not no them good enough for you to say all those awful things just cause you are not getting your deposit back, No Mamam, You know we do beautiful weddings every where we go... We put are all into what we do, I am so sorry your wedding is not going to happen and you are mad at the world, But what you are saying about our Business is very not true and very wrong of you to say such lies. I contacted the venue and no one recalls ever talking to a Bride and telling her such lies, Our reputation is on point* and has been for three generations*
Overall, the flowers that we got were beautiful. I only had three issues - one is partially my fault for not correcting the proposal to exclude flowers that were not in season (nor was I notified but that's my fault for not researching more I guess), second was the tardiness (partially due to 1604/10 freeway construction nightmare), and third was requesting pocket boutonnieres.
1. So originally speaking with Irma, we settled on blush pink and white roses with hints of dusty blue. My contract mentioned anemones and I was like okay sure because the picture in the contract looked beautiful and I figured okay they are the experts and wouldn't put in flowers that would be out of season. They delivered the flowers and my Day of coordinator mentioned it looked like a mum stuffed in another flower. I was kind of confused and upon looking up the flowers up after I noticed that yes I did receive a different flower than the anemone. I would have just rather been contacted and told "Hey these flowers aren't any good how would you like to proceed". I was never contacted about the anemones not being good and how to proceed with them.
2. I asked for the flowers to be delivered at 1:00 PM and Kristie assured me that that was possible. The flowers showed up an hour late to the venue but traffic was awful because of the 1604/10 freeway madness so I get that part; however, when they were late I gave them some time and said okay well originally delivery was scheduled for 1:30 PM so I will call then. We tried calling and we were told they were 15 minutes away but then came another 30 minutes late. They did not show up until 2:00 PM.
3. I have seen videos on pocket boutonnieres and thought what a nicer way to display florals for men without everyone getting pricked. We received flowers in a plastic sleeve with a little bit of water and nothing for the flowers to hold onto. We were informed after from Kristie that they told someone to dispose of the water in the pocket boutonnieres but my guys were never told; some disconnect in communication but it is what it is. I just thought there would be something in the sleeve for the flowers to be glued to or hold onto.
I reached out to Irma before writing this review. Kristie got a hold of me and came to me with $75 store credit. I asked about receiving a bouquet with the original idea proposed without anemones and just the blush pink and white roses and dusty blue accents but have yet to hear back. It is what it is and like I said overall they looked pretty.
I don’t know what to say besides that this florist is the absolute best! they are so kind and flexible with your budget, and the flowers were just beautiful. De Vinnies really did make my dream wedding come true !
First I would like to start by saying I am not someone who ever leaves reviews, let alone a bad one, but I feel I owe it to any future customers.
On my wedding day I had a relative waiting at our venue to meet with Kristie to collect my wedding party's body flowers. After waiting for over an hour, said relative notified me that they had still not arrived. I started calling both Kristie and Irma at 12:46. I called over five times with no answer. The last call being at 1:30. My wedding ceremony was to start at 2:30. At this point I had just accepted that I wasn't going to have any flowers for my wedding. One of my bridesmaids tried calling off of her phone as a last resort and it was answered immediately. I got on the phone, told Kristie it was me to which she told me they were on their way to the venue. I don't know why my calls were not answered when I called off my phone and still haven't gotten an answer for that.
When we finally got all of our body flowers for the ceremony, the flower crowns for my flower girls were so big and heavy that they were unable to wear them. I had sent my flower girls ages to Irma so this would not happen, but nevertheless they were too big/heavy for my girls to wear.
My toss bouquet was sent to the church with my body flowers instead of being left at the venue to which I did not know so I did not get to do a bouquet toss at my reception. Lastly, our head table was not set up as we had discussed with Irma.
After the wedding, I voiced all of these concerns to Kristie. She said that we could discuss everything in person when I meet her to return the vases. On the day of the meeting, Kristie was not there. Irma was there to meet me, however she would not even get out of her car to speak with me let alone help me unload all the vases from my car to hers. She had a young girl with her that got out of the car to help me. I notified Kristie of this and she informed me that Irma was in a rush to get to another meeting, but she would send me an email with details regarding my concerns. When I left the meeting place, Irma was still sitting in her car and did not appear to be any any rush to get to a meeting.
I never received any emails from anyone. I sent Kristie one last text on December 29, asking if she had sent an email or if she was going to. My message was ignored.
Again I want to stress that I do not do this lightly. I in no way want to hurt anyone or their business. However, I am still very upset with out my wedding was handled and how I have been treated since then despite being a paying customer. I'm sure a response to this will be posted denying many things, but I have emails, call logs and text messages to back all of this information up. I do hope at the very least this helps some future brides avoid the stress and disappointment that I endured. Lastly, I would like to say to this company that admitting you've messed up and trying your best to make up for it in some way would make a big difference. I have never dealt with this lack of integrity from a business before. I trusted you with a very important day in my life and I was very wrong to do so.
Irma is amazing. She has amazing customer service & you can tell they take care of their customers. When I told her my budget she went above & beyond and came in right under - She really worked with my budget and I’m so excited to be working with her. Thank you so much Irma.
Absolutely did an amazing job with our florals for my wedding. The bouquets, the boutonnieres, and the centerpieces on the head table, and all the other tables was stunning! Great communication, very friendly. Definitely book your florals with them!!!
Response from the Vendor on 04/17/2024
Thank You, very much for your feed back, It means the world to us,
God Bless you and your hubby always,
Irma and her daughter are absolutely amazing! They worked within our budget and created masterpieces! We're so thankful for them, their pieces really wowed our guests and brightened our event!
I received Devinnie’s contact information from two close family friends, so my expectations were pretty high. I was blown away by the flowers I received!! Irma was so beyond helpful in adjusting the estimate to fit into my budget and was never pushy or hard to work with. I loved all the bride and bridesmaid bouquets, centerpieces, and especially a gorgeous floral arch (to name a few)that Devinnie’s created for my wedding day!! I provided inspiration photos and they knew exactly what to do with little guidance! I will recommend Devinnie’s to any family and friends!
They did fantastic work, absolutely beautiful. The only complaint I have is that they were extremely horrible at communication. They were nice throughout the entire ordeal but they never answered the phone and it was clear that they don’t speak to each other. And the address listed on their website and knot page is incorrect and has been for at least 5 years, according to the poor person who’s house I went to to drop off things to put in my bouquet.
Response from the Vendor on 11/16/2022
Karlene, Gee, had no idea you would actually say we don't have the same address for our business, let me tell you that who ever is reading this message it is still our address we have been doing weddings since the 70"s, we are a third generat...
ion florist and Karlene you wanted to drop off those paper flowers of yours without an appointment the person who answered the door had no idea who you were, and I am the one that was trying to get a hold of you for months to let you know we were building and working out our beautiful larger size warehouse, that is in Floresville, TX , but you know what we still went out of our way to meet you and to pick up your paper flowers, and your flowers were absolutely gorgeous because we do go all out even if your wedding is small or large , But for our future brides our address is still the same and if you need to get a hold of me you can call or text me at 210-723-2987 I will be at your service, this year I have done flowers for 48 years , Still doing beautiful florals for our lovely brides* Stay Good, Jesus is Lord*
I was so afraid that I couldn't find someone to capture my moody vibe, and unique taste but Irma was absolutely amazing! She was the sweetest person to work with and I was able to purchase exactly what I needed unlike other florist who have a minimum budget that you have to hit...I'm beyond impressed with their work and will hire them for all my floral needs
YES!! I had a single picture that I HAD to have at my wedding to inspire the florals & they DELIVERED! I was so impressed! I had a few specific requests for my wedding pergola florals & they delivered. They did an absolutely amazing job. Great communication throughout the planning & so easy to work with! Get them before they book up. Reasonable pricing with OUTSTANDING results!

Thank You, our beautiful Bride, we really appreciate this... Reviews like these keep us going ... Yes Thank You, for mentioning we get booked fast, Blessings to you and your hubby...
De Vinnie’s did a beautiful job with the flower arrangements at my wedding! I gave inspiration pictures for my bouquets and she recreated them perfectly! Prices were reasonable as well. I would definitely recommend them for any bride to be or for any occasion!
Response from the Vendor on 08/16/2022
Thank you, My lovely Bride,
We are so glad you liked your flowers, We wish you all the best!!!!
Thank you so much for choosing De Vinnie's Floristry !!!!
Many Blessings your way!!!
Irma and her team were awesome to work with, she really listened to what I wanted for my wedding and executed it. I felt it was such a good value for beautiful work! I would recommend her.
Irma from De Vinnies Paradise (now called De Vinnies Floristry) is hands down the BEST florist in the San Antonio area! She truly is a creative professional with exceptional customer service. She’s punctual, reliable, affordable and went the extra mile to ensure all our floral arrangements were perfection! She’s a pleasure to work with, is super accommodating, and listened to our needs. Everything from my Bridal bouquet, to the Toss bouquet, wrist corsages, boutonnières, fresh pedals for the flowers girls, Ceremony arbor & table arrangements was exquisite & stunningly made. Highly Recommend De Vinnies Floristry! You will not be disappointed. I will use Irma’s services for all my future events.
We loved working with De Vinnie’s Paradise for our wedding this past month. Irma was super easy to work with, always quick to respond & the flowers were absolutely beautiful!!
Irma and her team are very good at what they do! My flowers were absolutely gorgeous and were exactly what I was looking for. Irma and her team were running a tad bit late day of but still managed to get everything done, decorated and looking absolutely beautiful! The only thing was we were allowed to borrow their metal lanterns as decor but never actually got them to put out but either way everything was still very beautiful and will definitely be recommending her to other clients!
Irma was amazing to work with!! She truly captured my wedding vision from the arch, to the centerpieces, to the beautiful greenery staircase, and stunning bouquets. She went above and beyond with all the details for my big day. Thank you De Vinnie's Paradise for your hard work and kindness! If you need a florist... look no further :)
Hands down THE BEST florist!!! From the very beginning Irma totally understood my vision and was SO fun and easy to work with! I had to reschedule a couple of times due to Covid and Irma worked it out with us no problem! I even changed my entire style and we had a second meeting with her and she totally nailed it! The day of the wedding - I was blown away..the floral completely exceeded my expectations and EVERYONE (I’m serious - everyone) at the wedding was raving about the floral and commenting on how gorgeous it was. I had people talking about it even after the wedding as well. Her prices are SO great too, and they will work with you to give you exactly what you want while working with your budget. I can’t say enough good things. Don’t waste your time with any other floral vendors. De Vinnies is a gem!! Thank you for making my wedding beautiful!
I absolutely loved my bouquet. Her arrangements were one of the best parts of my wedding. Because of covid we did almost everything by phone and I did not actually see her until the wedding day. She emailed called and texted in detail what the arrangement would like, I could not quite picture it in my head but when the flowers arrived they were breathtaking. I plan to have another wedding celebration in 1 year and I will certainly seek out Irma again.

Thank You, Brittany, It was a pleasure doing your flowers and you my dear looked stunning on your wedding day, Congratulations and any Blessings!!!!
Working with Irma was amazing! I didn’t have any idea what I wanted for my flowers, I told her the color my bridesmaids were wearing and the flowers she picked out were gorgeous! She was so easy to work with as well, I would tell her I didn’t want to go over a certain price and she worked so well within my budget. She was also so flexible because I had to change number of bouquets and boutonnières as we got closer to the wedding and she didn’t mind! She delivered and set up the flowers for the ceremony and reception and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out! The flowers were so gorgeous. I loved my bouquet and so did my bridesmaids. My guests kept on complementing my flowers throughout the reception.
Irma was fantastic to work with! So eager to make my vision become a reality and clearly incredibly talented. I had to change my wedding date with only four days notice due to COVID, and Irma was so great and worked with me through it all. She had to send back the flowers from the wholesaler but didn’t charge me any extra and was so supportive and encouraging through the whole ordeal. My flowers turned out absolutely perfect! I wanted greenery to cover the staircase at my venue and she made it even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. All you brides out there, I promise this is who you want. She will not disappoint!
Irma loves what she does! During our consultation, Irma was very informative and creative to ensure that the vision of the floral arrangement that we had came to life.
I leave 4 stars due to two things, 1) some of the flowers and leaves were dead on arrival. 2) Some of the floral meant for the reception was delivered to the ceremony (like the toss bouquet, which was smaller the expected). Thank God for our wedding planner who was able to to deliver them to the right location.
Overall, great prices for the services
During planning, we were having a hard time finding a shop that would take our small order and I'm so glad we found De Vinnie's Paradise. We had 6 boutonnieres, 2 corsages, and 3 centerpieces and they knocked it out of the park with all of them. All I did was send over some inspiration pictures and Irma was able to tell me exactly what kind of flowers she planned on using to keep us in budget. They did a great job and I'd highly recommend them.

Thank You My Dear,
Your Business is very much appreciated! Thank You for choosing De Vinnie's Paradise, We were so honored to do your flowers..
Blessings!
Beautiful flowers and Irma was willing to negotiate within our budget! Everyone was impressed with the flowers and it even seemed like Irma and her team added extra flowers for my husband and I’s table. More beautiful than we expected!
Irma was so helpful from day one. No matter what question I had she was quick to respond and help me with ideas. She listened what I was wanting and went out of her way to deliver on it. She even allowed us to borrow the wood boxes our centerpieces went in! I appreciated it so much. The sweetheart arrangement, bouquets and centerpieces couldn't have been more perfect. They were BEYOND what I envisioned and one of my absolute favorite elements of our day! The flowers made everything come together. You should absolutely hire Irma and her team for your wedding or next event-they will not disappoint!
I don’t know a whole lot about flowers, so having Irma as our florist was amazing. When I walked in I told her our colors and one flower I knew I wanted, and she just went off with what’s in season and what would be perfect for our flowers. She is so professional and is reasonably priced, which was important for us. I loved all my flowers, they were gorgeous. Irma was absolutely the best.
Response from the Vendor on 10/21/2019
Thank You Beautiful Bride, You were so awesome yourself very easy going and that's why your flowers all came out fantastic.. Good Luck, and Many Blessings your way!
Love ya! Irma
There work is amazing. I gave her my budget and what I was looking for and she just made it happen. The arrangements were so beautiful! She's a true professional, wonderful work!
Extremely unorganized, terrible communication, Irma never wanted to Talk by phone or text... only would email. In the whole year planning the wedding, I talked to her over the phone 1 time!! Very disappointed with the colors of the flowers, the sizes of of the bridesmaid bouquets and the “greenery” for the tables (which looked like rose leaves). We paid her to set up and it wasn’t done. My coordinator had to do it all with my mom. I used all my own supplies like votive candles, frames, letters, lanterns, and floating candles. She promised it would all be done, my husband and I finally got in touch with her 4 days after our original meeting by phone was supposed to be. We Gave her the times to set up, pictures of what we wanted the set up and decor to look like and what colors we wanted. Tuesday 4 days before the wedding we took all the decor and candles to her house At the times she told me would work, she wasn’t there, but her assistant ( who I had never met) was and assured me it would all be done properly and not to worry because my wedding was the main focus that weekend. night before nor day of did we receive any type of confirmation. The day of the wedding she came at 2:45pm instead of 4:00pm, so they wouldn’t let her in the venue. She left everything on the floor ( decor, corsages, boutonnières, etc) . I will not be recommending her. She was nice but nice doesn’t always cut it when it’s for a huge day like your wedding and you can’t get in touch with your florist ever!
Response from the Vendor on 09/20/2019
Dear Girl,
I am so sorry to hear you are feeling a certain way, that it took you to write such an ugly review, First of all I will stand my ground, I myself got to Hidden Falls at 2:45pm and I was told in a nice way to leave and for me to come ...
back at 4:30pm and I asked well what time does the ceremony start she said 5pm, She should have not told me this but she mentioned you did not pay extra for vendors to come in early , Well in my mind I said I have 30 minutes to decorate 30 tables plus cake plus decor the decor was me doing in my free will no extra charge for that.. We did meet 4 days before your wedding, YOU KNOW WHY> we kept calling you to come pay your balance but you were not available and when you did call us on a Monday we were closed. When you did show up at our shop you mentioned to us you were not able to pay your original prices on your proposal, and your 95.00 dollar greenery placed tables became 25.00 because you could not afford what you had ordered. We never according to contract change anything on the week of.. But I was to help you out in what ever I could. I can go on and on But with you I refuse to. I have been doing this kind of Business for years and my work and reviews shows our quality, we are not perfect no one is.. But once in a Fool Moon I get this one person that I try to help out and I get blamed for something so un called for.
Working with Irma and her team was so awesome. My now husband got me a birthday floral arrangement for my birthday one year when she had a shop on san pedro. We always said when we got married she would do our wedding flowers, 5 years later, her and her team created the flowers of my dream. I enjoyed talking to.Irma and telling her what I was looking for. She executed it perfectly! All my guest kept talking about the flowers and how beautiful they were!
My flowers were perfect, everything from my bouquet to the reception decor. Irma was awesome and listened to everything I envisioned. She was always available, quick to respond, and met with me when needed to review wedding details, I highly recommend!
De Vinnie’s helped make our big day absolutely gorgeous! Irma was so wonderful from the first consultation. She is incredibly knowledgeable and was able to take our colors and pick the most perfect flowers to go with our theme. Everything was better than we could have imagined. The corsages, boutonnières, and bouquets were all gorgeous. Not to mention the larger decorations also used. Everything exceeded expectations. We highly recommend this very experienced vendor!
Irma and her team captured my vision perfectly. Not only did they create beautiful bouquets for me and my bridesmaids, they were able to make a garland that hung over the ceremony arch and could be taken down to go over our "sweetheart" table for the reception. Irma was such a pleasure to work with made the process so smooth. De Vinnie's Paradise was a wonderful, professional company to work with and I would choose them over and over for any floral needs!
My husband and I were so pleased with all our flower arrangements at our wedding. Irma is so kind and friendly, she always made time to sit down and talk with me about things I added and changed last minute. We had nothing but good compliments the whole night about our flower arrangements. Thank you Irma for making our day that much more complete.
My florals were AMAZING! Irma captured my ideas and brought them to life. She was a joy to work with and the process was so easy. She worked with my budget and made my dreams come true. She has years of experience and I would trust no one else to get the job done.
Irma and her team were a pleasure to work with! She was able to take our vision and really bring it to life. Venue set-up was perfect, required no additional input from us. Utmost professional interaction with our other vendors.
Book this company well in advance, well worth the investment, they do fill up quickly for wedding season! Absolutely recommend!
I loved working with Irma! She is great! Her work was great and gets your vision and brings it to life. I recommend working with her for your event. She is professional, she does what she says she will do, and she is also very sweet! Her staff is great too!!! I had an amazing experience working with De Vinnies's Paradise.
Irma worked with our budget and delivered beautifully and professionally. Would recommend her to anyone!
Incredible!! They took my Pinterest board and suggestions and turned our wedding into the most perfect event! We simply loved our flowers and are so thankful for our choice in florists. Our wedding decor and bouquets were beyond perfect. We appreciated how they took our images and turned it into exactly what we were looking for. On the day of, a couple of things needed to be adjusted and they had plenty of extra floral on hand and made it all absolutely perfect, as if it was planned that way all along! If you are thinking of hiring them, do not hesitate for a second, you will have the wedding of your dreams!
Irma and her team did a BEAUTIFUL job on our floral. She made it so easy, I showed her a picture of the idea in my head that I was sort of looking for, and she delivered beyond that. Every detail was exactly what I was looking for, I can’t thank her enough!
Irma just want to thank you for making my wedding look so beautiful! The flowers were perfect! You did such a great job making my dream wedding come true. I definitely recommend Irma and her team. They are very easy to work with and worked with my budget. Thank you so much once for making my wedding perfect!again.
Irma and her team did the floral at my wedding on January 6, 2018. I was sitting in my hotel room when our bouquets were delivered to the room. My jaw dropped in awe of how gorgeous the flowers were. At that moment it all hit me and I got emotional. The flowers were absolutely stunning and made my wedding reception look so elegant and classy. If anyone asked me for a florist I would recommend De Vinnie's without any hesitation. Thanks for making my wedding a dream come true!
Irma and her team did an amazing job at our recent wedding on November at La Cantera Resort. It was last minute when I booked with her because we were shopping around for a place with reasonable price but she pulled through. Even though it was raining the whole day on my wedding, Irma and her staffs delivered the flower promptly and made sure everything looks good. All of my family and friends were very impressed with how the flowers turned out. She is by far the best vendor that was suggested to us by our wedding planner. Irma listened to what I want and created something that works with my budget but yet look elegant. Thank you again for all your hard work.
Irma and her team at De Vinnie’s Paradise went above and beyond with our wedding and rehearsal dinner flowers! De Vinnie’s Paradise was recommended to us by our wedding planner and wedding venue because of their creativity and excellent value. We had looked through dozens of websites for florists but loved that De Vinnie’s Paradise was a family floral shop who had been designing wedding flowers for generations. When we met with Irma to discuss our vision, she read our mind and was able to help guide us with flower recommendations to make sure the overall look, cost, and durability was everything we needed. She helped us pare down to meet our budget costs while ensuring that our arrangements would look full and lush.
Leading up to the wedding, Irma was responsive and worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator. On top of that, near the end I was a “bridezilla” and kept changing my mind – yes, within days of the wedding – but Irma was patient, gracious, and made sure I was satisfied and happy with the choices. There were a lot of logistics with multiple hotel drop-offs and a venue in Hill Country, but De Vinnie’s made sure everything was perfect.
On the day of the wedding, De Vinnie’s definitely delivered! I had chandeliers that were 30 feet high draped with greenery, the centerpieces for the tables were lush, large, and gorgeous, the bouquets were stunning, the candles well placed, the cocktail tables creative and fun, and the bouquets and boutonnieres were hardy and fresh. I can’t say enough and highly recommend De Vinnie’s Paradise! Their team puts heart into their work and really cared about making a bride’s vision come to life. You won’t find anyone else in town who does what they can do at a great cost!
The flower arrangements at De Vinnie's Paradise were even more beautiful than I imagined. Irma was so nice since the very beginning and worked with us to have exactly what we wanted with the budget we wanted. I would highly recommend this floral shop to any bride.
Our entire experience with DeVinnie's was amazing from beginning to end. From our consultation all the way until our wedding day, the staff was friendly and super helpful. My centerpieces, bouquets, tiebacks, and even decorative petals were all gorgeously executed. They are also extremely reasonable in their pricing. Everything held up beautifully, even through to the next day when I had all of our floral delivered to nursing homes =)
Thanks to Irma and all of her staff!
If I could give more then five stars I would!! Irma was fantastic!! I live in Alaska but was having my wedding in Texas so all I could do was describe what I wanted and send example pictures. De Vinnie's exceeded my expectations, my bouquet was AMAZING and everything was delivered smoothly and as a bride it was so nice to not have to stress about any of it. Irma thank you so so so much for creating such beautiful flower arrangements for me!
BEST FLORIST IN SAN ANTONIO! I did my research and met with different florist to get price quotes and see who I thought would be a great fit for me. I went in not knowing a thing about flowers or what i wanted. The minute i met with Mrs. Irma Arispe I knew her expertise and advice won me over. She definitely understood my style and her fun humbled nature made it all so easy in the planning process. The day of my wedding was unbelievably GORGEOUS! Thank you
I would recommend de Vinnies paradise flowers to anybody that is looking for fresh exquisite floral! My centerpieces were given out to guest at the end of the night and they were thrilled! Everybody kept talking about how beautiful the floral was it was the talk of the night thank you so much team for going above and beyond for me and my "husband" love saying that :) I would definitely recommend them!
Thank you soooo much Irma at devinnies paradise! You and your team made my wedding day an unforgettable experience! I cannot thank them enough for how they made my vision come to life that day...I was speechless and emotional as I walked down the aisle and into my reception! Edgar and i would love to Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! God bless your talent!
Loved working with Irma and her staff! They were amazing during the planning process. Day of the wedding I was unhappy with my bouquet because it had greenery in it, something I was very specific in saying I did not want. My bridesmaids brought it back to the shop and they said it was made well. They had to go to 2 other florists the morning of the wedding to get the greenery removed. I emailed and called Irma, to which after 4 weeks I have never received a response. The grooms boutinerre fell apart before pictures and we had to make one from leftover flowers.
Irma and her staff are absolutely amazing. They were very kind and professional and always willing to help. Irma was always more then willing to sit down and listen to your ideas. She took those ideas and really brought them to life. She also gave me a lot of insight over flower choices and what worked well together. Both my bridal portrait bouquet and my actual bouquet were so beautiful. Everything was beautiful for the wedding! My centerpieces were exactly how I had imagined! I was so happy with everything!
Irma and her entire team are the best! My bridal bouquet was everything I had dreamed of it being. Like most other brides, I changed my mind on the flowers, centerpieces, and colors more times than I can count on one hand and they were so accommodating to make the modifications and send me a revised quote the same day! Thank you for all of your hard work!
Irma and her staff did an impeccable job with the flowers for our fiesta themed wedding. We have recommended her to multiple couples getting married in the near future. She works within your budget and she was so open to accommodating our last minute additions. We loved her work and got so many compliments. We are very thankful for their part in our big day.
The flowers were beautiful and fresh
Irma and her team did an amazing job the centerpieces were perfect
my bouqet was filled with peonies and they smells wonderful
I would recommend Irma and
Her team at De Vinnie's Paradise for any event. From one happy bride to another.
The service and value were exceptional. And our flowers were beautiful! However, the bouquets were a little different than what we had requested and shown pictures of. While still very pretty, the colors were off (they were more coral than the hot pink/magenta we wanted) as well as the shape (they were more round than the loose/organic shape we asked for). Again, those were minor details and at the end of the day the flowers looked great. The service was amazing; they worked within our budget and helped us choose flowers to get the most impact for our money. Even the women who helped load up our truck were so sweet!
On the day of the wedding I literally did not go the hall earlier (like my control freak self usually does). I waited until everything was done and entered in only to have my breath taken away. The hall was decorated even more beautifully than i could of have ever imagined. It was absolutely magical being able to see the images i had in my head in actual form. They went above and beyond to get us what we wanted. They are super affordable and know where to cut corners. I am a pretty cheap person when it comes to wedding. I believe it should look like a million dollars- not cost it. They did an amazing job! I have already recommended them to others and will be using them for upcoming events!
Irma and her team are absolutely amazing! She took my somewhat vague explanation of the types of bouquets I wanted for my country wedding, and she created exactly what I had hoped for! She also did my sister's wedding three years ago, and the flowers were also gorgeous. I highly recommend De Vinnie's Paradise to anyone who is in need of flowers, especially wedding flowers! Thank you, Irma, for your high-quality service!!
After countless hours of searching and emailing different florist from Austin and San Antonio, I found De Vinnie's Paradise. I explained to Irma (owner) I was getting married in Austin, TX but lived in South Texas. I was looking for a florist that made beautiful arrangements and would deliver to Austin. Right away she said "Of course, we can make it happen". Immediately, I knew she was going to do everything possible to make my dream a reality. When I met Irma, I showed her pictures and told her exactly how i wanted my floral arrangements. She shared ideas that were very helpful and would save me some money. Throughout the whole process, I was in close contact with Irma and her team. The week of the wedding I called and spoke to her daughter and we went through each item and flower just to ensure we were both on the same page. Irma and her team delivered exactly what I had envisioned! I definitely recommend De Vinnie's Paradise to anyone.

Irma was absolutely amazing! I’m sure I wasn’t clear during our initial meeting in what I wanted for my wedding. I was lost and Irma walked me through it. She made my vision come to life. The centerpieces were stunning and my bridal bouquet was absolutely beautiful! I remember sitting at the sweetheart table with my husband and telling him how happy I was with your flowers. Thank you, Irma, for everything. Your work truly was the finishing touch to my overall vision for my wedding. More than 5 stars! :)
Irma and her team at DeVinnie's Paradise are incredible, I was referred to her by a friend and couldn't be happier. She listened carefully to my wants/needs and did exactly what I asked her too. She pays close attention to your budget, and uses all of your money towards your floral.(other vendors charge for vases and "other fees") She's very in tune with today's floral trends and wedding fashion. Although Irma has more than one wedding/event per day you'd never know that because her and her team pay close attention to detail and treat each wedding as their own. That's the feeling I had on my wedding day. If you want someone who will listen to your wants/needs, Irma is the florist for you.
Irma was amazing to work with! She listened to what we wanted, kept us within our budget and made the most beautiful arrangements I could have hoped for! Definitely recommend using them De Vinnie's!
Our flowers were beautiful! Arrived exactly on time. My bouquet was gorgeous as well as my bridal party. Great communication with Irma from De Vinnie's Paradise. Irma and her staff created exactly what I wanted.
I would highly recommended this florist for anyone wanting gorgeous floral. Irma was so sweet in helping me every step of the way. I have/had no clue what flowers names, colors are etc. But that didn't matter to Irma she sat with me and picked my brain till we got my style down. My fiance even was in on the fun and together we chose our floral despite our unique sense of taste. Irma I know I was a pain with thousands of changes and maybe even BRIDEZILLA, but u still managed to make everything perfect. Thank you Irma and her Team!
Thank you Irma for guiding me throughout the decision process and making sure every detail was perfect! I can't thank you enough De Vinnie's Paradise! You guys made my wedding BEAUTIFUL and definitely MEMORABLE.. It was a pleasure working with you, you took my ideas and created arrangements more beautiful than I imagined. I will definitely recommend you to future brides!
I want to thank Irma and her team for doing an outstanding job at my wedding and dinner rehersal! Everything was PERFECT! My wedding centerpieces were HUGE and looked better than what I even imagined. Evryone gave me plenty of compliments on the flowers...and I even had flowers for guest to take at the end of the wedding! Irma understood my my vision and made it come to life!!!! She makes it fun and possible for you to have your dream wedding. I definitely would recommend this florist to everyone I know...Thank you sooo much team from the bottom of my heart.. You ROCK!
I would highly recommend this vendor! They helped me from start to finish...I was not sure of what flowers would look best with my color scheme and Irma sure did help me figure out which would look more modern and extravagant. My Colors were champagne, gold and ivory...and we went with #champagne and ivory colored roses with hydrangeas on gold beautiful vases that Irma was nice enough to lend me!!! I didn't have to worry about buying vases as she has many different ones to choose from. Her expertise is very helpful...Thank you De Vinnies and team for your outstanding job!!
Thank you so much De Vinnies Paradise ! I was speechless when I walked down the aisle and saw my dream become reality. Irma hit it on the nail!!! She is the sweetest vendor to work with she really helped me bring my vision alive!! I wasn't too sure if I could afford tall centerpieces on all my tables but Irma explained we can have them and other gorgeous centerpieces as well! She has so many ideas she can offer you I would highly recommend her to any bride especially if you want something phenomenal!!
De Vinnie’s provided absolutely terrible service, charged us for services not rendered, and then posted a malicious lie in an attempt to discredit our review. Stay far away from this outfit!
October 24, 2015- Bride:Jonquil, Vendor Irma Arispe I'm Bill, Jonquil’s Dad. I have been following your stream of conversations on Wedding Wire and have a few comments. First of all, congratulations on being in business for “over 35 years”. When Jonquil was researching florists, she chose you mainly on the basis of positive reviews. Up until the day of the wedding we had no issues with your company. However, all was about to change.I respectfully suggest that you take a very careful look at your crew leader at the venue that afternoon. It is hard to fathom your longevity with this caliber of individual representing you. She obviously believes that rudeness and arrogance are virtues to be shared with everyone; the Bride, the Mother of the bride, the Maid of Honor, and several of the bridesmaids, were all subjected to this individual’s vitriol. Yes, many of the flowers were beautiful, but they were not what the bride ordered. Per contract, you charged for ten (10) large rental lanterns which were not delivered. When the Mother of the bride asked about the lanterns, your crew leader made no attempt to problem solve, then admitted they were back at the shop and grudgingly offered to go get them 20 minutes before dinner was set to begin. Too late! You charged a “tear down” fee; also in the contract. No one from your company arrived to tear down anything. I was one of the last people to leave the venue at approximately 11:30 PM, so I know this to be a fact. What I can tell you is that even with the stress and panic created by your very unprofessional “crew leader” just a few short minutes before one of the most important days of her life, could not prevent this from being a wonderful and joyous event. That said, by far the most disconcerting and unimaginable fallout from this experience has been the continued rudeness, arrogance and even slanderous comments made by your “crew”. I assume it is your crew and not you, because when my daughter called to discuss the event with you, she was told that “You don’t need to speak with Irma.” “I am not going to put her on the phone”. “You can speak with me”. “We all met and decided that you will never been satisfied”. As with one of your previous reviewers who was not pleased with your service, your crew leader then proceeded to swear and hang up on my daughter. Was it you Irma that made the vicious fabrication that “we would not allow lesbians or same sex people do anything with the wedding?” Was it you that stated San Antonio vendors could never compete with California? How strange a comment coming from you! Six (6) San Antonio vendors including cake, catering, DJ, Photographer and venue all proved you WRONG. Our San Antonio vendors, with the exception of your company, all performed above expectations. You should strive for the same! Irma, we have the same contract. You charged us for rental of ten large lanterns. They were not delivered. You charged a tear down fee for which you did not perform- I did tear down myself. All of the flower arrangements were not as discussed with your client. Your four vases, sparkling stones, and six small 8” black lanterns are in my garage. You may contact me and come by and do your “tear down” and pick them up whenever convenient for us both. I will hold them for 60 days. Very proud Father of the Bride, Bill

when you mentioned i did tear down myself I know it's still you Jonquil not your Dad.. Stop sending threats you are insane.. Please leave us alone you only paid 20.00 for brides bouquets please stop harrasing us.. keep the lanterns keep the vas...
es enjoy your new marriage..Yes Thank You I know as well the flowers were gorgeous.. I cannot refund you anything we did every thing exactly as your contract states..
Irma did an outstanding job with my body flowers and church floral arrangements. I love love loved my bouquet as well!
Your response to our honest and accurate review of the subpar service we received is inexcusable. Any company that would resort to slanderous lies to dismiss a negative review should be flagged -- I have never seen such unprofessional behavior in my life. We were not aware of the sexual orientation of anyone on your staff, why would we be? Perhaps you should have taken stock of the many same sex couples on our guest list before attempting to call us homophobic. You have chosen the wrong family to lie about, and the wrong lie to tell. We live in LA, my fiancé officiated a same sex wedding a few months ago... You should have done your homework. You should have done a better job. You shouldn't have charged us for services which were not rendered. There are other reviewers on various sites who have been less than pleased with your services and who have been told off and hung up on too. I'm not the only one. Let this serve as evidence of how your company acts when things don't go quite right. Previously I commented on the weakness of your services, a company can recover from that. But to publicly lie about someone -- that displays immense weakness of character, and that is a far bigger, far more serious problem.
What a devastating experience. Irma promised me the world, I was so happy and enthusiastic about choosing DeVinnie's Paradise... and then the nightmare began. In our contract it stipulated that she would be loaning us lanterns as centerpieces... they never arrived. The garlands were chintzy, even though we were charged top dollar for them. The team showed up late and was completely inept. Luckily I had an incredible bridal party who made lemonade out of very sour lemons and figured out a way to make the tables look adequate despite having only half of the arrangements. My bouquet was pretty, but the bridesmaid's bouquets were laughable. The flowers provided could have been bought at HEB for a sixth of the price we were charged. When I called the week after to express my disappointment, the conversation resorted to name calling and the manager screamed into the phone and hung up on me. I truly hope this review will help future couples steer clear of the stress and disappointment this vendor caused on our wedding day. They should be ashamed of themselves for the product and service they provided. Oh, they also charged us a tear down fee and did not stay to tear anything down. Brides be warned -- don't chose this company if you expect competence and basic respect. We live in LA and are not used to this pathetic level of service, a shop like this simply wouldn't survive in California. San Antonio surely has better offerings.
Response from the Vendor on 10/28/2015
Jonquil Goode, I have been doing weddings for the past 35 years and I have a lot of reviews to back me up.From the very beginning nothing could please you san Antonio vendors could never compare to Ca. And when my crew ARRIVED ON TIME you yelle...
d at them and said you would not allow lesbians or same sex people to have anything to do with your wedding. Your flowers were gorgeous and I have pictures as proof. P.S. please return my lanterns and vases..
Irma was easy to work with and made great selections to go along with the view I had in mind. Everyone loved how it all turned out and I would highly recommend her to a friend!
The flowers at our wedding were gorgeous. Working with Irma was a dream. She took everything I had imagined in my head and gave it life the day of my wedding. The prices were affordable. The only thing I would mention is that when you have your meetings and you get the contract, please make sure every little detail you want is spelled out. Talking with Irma, she understood everything I wanted and we were on the same page. But the girls that come out to do the wedding might not know all the little details. There were a few things at the wedding that weren't done as requested, but nonetheless the wedding was beautiful and the flowers were amazing!
Amazing florist! Irma was highly recommended by our wedding planner, and she was absolutely wonderful! During the planning process I just told her the colors we liked and the atmosphere we were going for, and she was able to come up with the perfect arrangements to fit our vision and budget. Everything was absolutely beautiful! Irma was exceptionally caring and helpful throughout the whole process and I couldn't have asked for a better florist.
I have received so many compliments about my arrangements! They were perfect in every way, from our bouquets to our boutonnieres to our centerpieces.
Irma was incredible to work with and I'd recommend them to anyone who asks.
The florist was super nice, and she basically did everything I could have wanted using a few pictures I sent from pinterest. I was very happy with quality. Day of they just showed up and made it perfect.
The only reason I don't give 5 stars for value is because you could honestly make your own flowers for much cheaper if you had the time-most people don't though. So I paid roughly $1500 for a wedding with about 150 people. The brides bouquet was very expensive BUT everyone thought it was beautiful.
They did an amazing job for our wedding! We loved the floral arrangements they did for our ceremony and reception! Everything was BEAUITFUL! Irma was super easy to work with. She is very creative and knowledgeable. You can tell she’s been in the industry for a long time and truly knows her flowers. My husband and I are not very creative or flower people for that matter. So this was the most daunting task (in my book). Irma knew exactly what questions to ask us and in about an hour we had the flowers for our wedding done! Irma worked with us to give us the floral decor we wanted and at a price we could afford. I would recommend De Vinnie’s Paradise to any of our family and friends getting married. I know we will be using them again for other special occasions.
Irma did an amazing job in every step of the way in providing the flowers and decorations for our wedding. From our initial brainstorming meeting to working with our budget and the flawless final outcome, Irma was great and a pleasure to work with. The crew the day of the wedding was on time and took care of everything, it was absolutely gorgeous and stress free! I would recommend Irma in a heartbeat, she is great at what she does and very personable! Thank you Irma for making our wedding look beautiful!
I am the mother of the bride and planned my daughters wedding for a year. The flowers were one of the most important items on my list. Irma was able to take my vision and nailed it. The ceremony and reception were just stunning. Everyone could not stop commenting how beautiful all the flowers and arrangements were. I would use DeVinnie's for all my floral needs!
Irma and her team did an amazing job for our November 15 wedding. We got so many compliments on the floral centerpieces and bouquets. They looked amazing and they were more than what I ever imagined. I absolutely loved my bridal bouquet it was gorgeous and smelled AMAZING. She made sure to give us beautiful arrangements even with our limited budget. I would highly recommend Da Vinnie's Paradise to anyone looking for beautiful, affordable flowers for their special day.
