Expressions Floral was fantastic. I told them vaguely what I wanted (white flowers, lots of greenery on the arch, classic and timeless, etc) and they NAILED IT. I couldn't even ima...

Lisa did an amazing job with our flowers for our September wedding at Saratoga Springs. She really heard what we were asking for (lots of dahlias) and made it happen within our des...
ired color scheme. She also talked through everything we were asking for, helping us realize that we actually wanted small vases, not bud vases and “peachy-pink” flowers, not peach. She was really patient with us even when anxiety levels were high. Our flowers were beautiful.
I am so happy I chose Expressions Floral for my wedding. They really listened when I described wanting moody florals for my October wedding. Lisa was really great to work with. Eve...

Lisa and the ladies at Expressions Floral were so wonderful! We booked them in December of 2021 for our wedding in June of 2023. They sent us a form to fill out with all the floral...
needs we were looking for. Over the course of our two year engagement, we made some changes to our proposal and everyone was so understanding and accommodating. Any time we had questions or needed advice, the staff always got back to us quickly. They were honest about what options I had and recommended what they felt would work best at the venue. They are a preferred vendor for Fortino Winery, where we got married, and it was a huge help that they were already familiar with the venue and the staff. The floral arrangements were beautiful, we received so many compliments. They worked within our budget and were always eager to help. We can not recommend them enough!
Listen to me when I say STOP YOUR SEARCH!!!! You need to book with Lisa and expressions floral. I have been working in the wedding and events industry for 5 years and I have seen i...
t ALL! Lisa’s understanding and knowledge in the floral industry not only shows in her consultations, it shows through her staff which she trains to understand the importance of the floral industry within weddings. Every step of the process with Lisa and Expressions floral is professional, thorough, and the end result is breathtaking! We really wanted flowers to be a huge part of our wedding and man did Lisa deliver! The black arch and stands are all rentals from her as well, which we felt were so original and hadn’t seen anything like it. We also rented chargers, the candle sticks and more which were a great price and easy addition! Talk about a hassle free experience. We loved having expressions floral be apart of our day.
Lisa and her team did an amazing job with the flowers for my son's recent wedding. She was responsive and was able to meet with us and bring my daughter-in-law's vision to fruition...
. I highly recommend Expressions Floral.
This review is long overdue from our beautiful wedding in May! Our wedding was small and simple and the florals were a major part of the decoration. Lisa and her team hit it spot o...
n and were so wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. I met with Lisa to discuss my vision and she helped that vision come to life better than I could've ever imagined. The bouquets, center pieces, and my cake flowers were all so beautiful. I also rented candles from Lisa which was an easy process as well. Lisa is so kind and easy to work with! I would definitely recommend her and her team for floral services!

product. I couldn't be happier with how all our flowers turned out for our wedding. We received so many compliments on the flowers! I had a few inspo photos but really did not give much direction except for our wedding colors and ribbon color for bouquets and boutonnières... I asked Lisa's team to just work their magic and they definitely did! I am having my bouquet arranged and preserved in resin, that is how happy I am with their work. Thank you again Expressions Floral!
I recently had a wedding with Expressions Floral and I was extremely disappointed with their services. First of all, despite sending them pictures of the bouquets I wanted (one of ...
those pictures being from their own website), the bouquets that I received were nothing like the images I sent.
Among this issue, where several others:
1. They arrived late which cut into our picture time. Because of this, and the other issues with the flowers, we were unable to do first look pictures.
2. The bouquets were not completely wrapped in satin as they were supposed to be, and the small amount of satin they did have was the incorrect color for 4 out of 5 bouquets.
3. The bouquets also arrived sitting in vases filled with water, which created the issue of them all needing to be completely dried so they did not leave wet spots on the dresses.
4. The florist never checked with us before leaving to ensure that everything was correct. This resulted in them needing to be called back to correctly wrap the bouquets which took additional time away from pictures.
5. Numerous flowers in the bouquets looked so out place due to their color that we had to spend time removing them.
6. The bridal bouquet was the same size as the bridesmaids', which did not seem fitting as we had paid double the money for the bridal bouquet.
7. The greenery in the bouquets were not arranged well and they were wilting so much that the bridesmaids spent close to 30 minutes cutting, rearranging, and pulling out the wilted greenery.
8. The groom's boutonniere was a single bloom when it was supposed to be double. His was the same as his groomsmens'.
The delays and disappointment caused by the florist put a big damper on our wedding day, and most upsetting, they caused us to miss out on taking first look pictures. I would not recommend them to anyone, nor would I want any bride to go such unnecessary stress and frustration on their Wedding day.
This review is long overdue from our beautiful wedding last August (2021)! Lisa and her team were so wonderful to work with from start to finish -- even when we had to reschedule o...
ur wedding date. When speaking with Lisa on the phone to discuss my floral needs for my wedding, she understood my vision completely and made it happen, better than I could've imagined for the big day. My biggest wish was for "lots of succulents" and she and her team certainly delivered. I got so many compliments on my flowers from our wedding guests (even my mom, a CA Master Gardener was very impressed). Lisa is so sweet and would definitely recommend her floral services!
Lisa is easy to talk to, professional and really cares about every detail of her floral arrangements. Her flowers are modern, beautiful and her prices are fair. I definitely recom...

We worked with Expressions Floral Designs for our fall wedding at Fortino Winery in November, and we are so glad we did! Whether you come into the process with a clear vision or ar...
e just starting to thin about it and need guidance (like me), Lisa and her team are incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. They did the bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnières and corsages, reception centerpieces, and arch spray for the ceremony (which we also reused for the sweetheart table). Our parents and grandparents were excited to get customized boutonnières and corsages. Everything was more beautiful than we could have imagined.
Lisa and her crew did an AMAZING job on the flowers for my daughter's wedding in Santa Cruz! My daughter's bouquet was beautiful and matched everything we had, including the venue....
I would highly recommend Expressions Floral to anyone needing floral arrangements. She made it work even during Covid. She put up with a cancellation and never charged us a penny more. We even had a second cancellation the night before (after the Covid one) due to weather, and a venue change. She showed up ready to go the next day and was helpful in the decorating process. One of the best choices I've made while planning this wedding!
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed working with Lisa at expressions floral. I 100% trust lisa to make absolute MAGIC. She made my wedding so unbelievably beautiful,...
I truly could not be happier. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about her work, she knew exactly how to take my wedding colors and make them into BEAUTIFUL arrangements. I'm so so happy with expressions floral and would recommend them to anyone looking to make their event absolutely stunning
Everything was perfect! I know literally nothing about flowers, but Lisa and her folks took creative freedom and knocked it out of the park! All the guests commented on how beautif...
ul the floral arrangements were and how perfectly they matched the venue, and I couldn’t agree more!
I am completely satisfied and happy that I chose Expressions Floral for my recent wedding. I only had phone interaction with the staff but all were positive. On the day of the wedd...
ing was my first time seeing the centerpieces and altar arrangement and only one word....STUNNING! They were exactly as I had envisioned. The florists did a great job and were as accurate as you can get to my Pinterest pictures that showed them. Highly recommend this floral shop. They are very affordable as well. Thank you.
Sonya from Expressions floral was an absolute joy to work with. She explained what flower types with with which seasons and in the different colors.
We were not fully aware of ...
which flower types we wanted for our wedding, but we definitely knew which colors. Sonya informed and educated us on what would look best for what we were looking for. She was very organized throughout our meeting and follow up quickly with us with our floral list.
The floral for our wedding was set out immediately before the ceremony, so that the flowers would not wilt in the heat. Our florals look so fresh and beautiful. They definitely exceeded our expectations.
After our wedding, we received a very sweet thank you note from expressions floral. It was a very nice gesture to congratulate us on our wedding.
I highly recommend using Expressions Floral.
