Fantasy Floral Designs is amazing! I loved working with Shealyn! She is so easy to communicate with and was so patient with me when I had tons of questions, changes, or anything! Her florals were absolutely beautiful and I am so thankful to her for making my bouquet beautiful !
Wow! The flower arrangements were everything we wanted and more! We felt like we were brought to a tropical paradise with the arrangements on display during both the ceremony and our reception which is exactly what we wanted. The flowers popped brightly and were a thing of awe and beauty to everyone at the ceremony. We were so happy with how it all turned out and couldn't be more appreciative of the hard working florists we had the pleasure of working with. My favorite part was the tiny pineapple on my corsage because we didn't know that was going to be there and was a cute surprise to me and my wife, especially since the wedding theme was mildly pineapple!
Fantasy Florals was AMAZING! I trusted Shealyn and Amanda, they were so helpful with flower reusage, helping pick out flowers and the overall design of the big day! I don’t know anything about flowers and I was soo happy with how they turned out! I had 13 bridesmaids so it was crazy and everything from a floral decor standpoint went amazing! I would recommend over and over again! They are also one of the most affordable and work within your budget!
Any questions?
To say Fantasy Florals did an incredible job is an understatement. They fully blew it out of the water! Shae was so sweet to work with. She took my color palette and inspiration photos and made something even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. She was super helpful with ideas to help me stay in budget and was a breeze to work with from beginning to end. They made our big day come together perfectly. I will definitely be hiring them again for future parties. 100/10
Absolutely speechless. Shea is a true gem!
It was such a pleasure working with her and all the florals she put together were absolutely stunning. People are STILL talking about how gorgeous the flowers were. From our first chat to the wedding day, she always made me feel comfortable and provided guidance when and where I had questions. I tend to be a little indecisive with big decisions, and from Day 1 it's as though she just understood me and what I was interested in.
I would highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding!
WOW! I am so impressed with fantasy florals! They went above and beyond to achieve my dream wedding floral vision. Went way beyond my expectations and had so many compliments. Definitely recommend to any bride! You have to book them; they are so talented!!
They were great! We did kind of a California theme: succulents and seashells and everything looked fantastic. I even got to save the succulents from my bouquet and plant them and now they are in my newly made succulent garden by the front door. I asked if I could return the seashells so they could be reused at another wedding (reuse!) and they took them back; when I brought them over, they gave me more succulent cuts to plant in my new garden. So sweet! Thank you guys!
I had such a great experience working with Fantasy Florals. I had one Pinterest board and they immediately understood the vibe I was going for and delivered way above and beyond my expectations. They worked seamlessly with my other vendors (cake, ceremony, etc.) and even transitioned florals from my ceremony to my reception. I really appreciated how they made the process so easy for me. But most importantly, I was just stunned by how gorgeous everything looked on my big day and how well they captured my vision of loose, fun, textured, and minimalist, while making such a beautiful statement with florals. Months later, my family and friends are still raving about how beautiful the florals were!
We absolutely loved the flowers. The flowers were stunning. Fantasy Floral Designs absolutely made my vision come to life. Shealyn and Amanda were wonderful. They worked with our budget and all of the florals turned out perfect. My husband and I were so happy with everything. I would highly recommend Fantasy Floral Designs.
Shea and her team at Fantasy Floral were absolutely amazing! From our first phone call, we totally hit it off and I felt comfortable right away. I trusted Fantasy Floral to make my floral dream come true and they exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to any future bride planning their special day!
Fantasy floral designs Shealyn and Amanda provided exceptional service for my wedding at the beginning of may 2022. They were available for any questions I had through every step of the process and were able to make my dream a reality with their beautiful floral arrangements. Not only did they accommodate my last minute change in flower color (2 weeks before the wedding), but Shealyn also personally delivered the bouquets, corsages and boutonnières to our getting ready location while Amanda set up the Ceremony location. It was lovely to finally meet these ladies in person after our phone and email communication for the past 8 months and I would 100% recommend their services.
Look no more, Fantasy Floral Designs are the best florist in town! Amanda and Shealyn are truly the best. They were both so easy to work with and so talented. They took our vision and completely nailed it. They made suggestions that I didn’t even think of and it truly helped so much. Everyone on the day of my wedding couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the florals were. I can’t say enough good things about them! Truly the best in the business and they will give you nothing but the best for your big day. Can not recommend enough!
We had a pleasure working with Fantasy Floral Designs for our wedding in October! The floral arrangements were absolutely beautiful and the colors worked out perfectly with our bridal party and overall theme of the wedding. We had an arch at our wedding and they incorporated the floral arrangements exactly how we had discussed as well as our sweetheart table arrangement. It was so nice to repurpose some of the arrangements for later use, such as for the cocktail hour, table centerpieces, cake stand, etc. They also were able to provide small and large lanterns as well as candles/candle holders for the centerpieces which were absolutely beautiful. The reason why I only gave 4 out of 5 stars is because I was hoping that more eucalyptus (circle dollar sized) was present in my wedding bouquet. It was present in other areas as we had previously discussed (i.e. the centerpieces, sweetheart table, wedding sign, etc.) and that turned out lovely! I also was hoping to have a few roses in and around the cake, but there was a different flower arrangement instead. They also did incorporate some elements of pampas grass as we had previously discussed, but I was hoping for some larger pieces, the ones that we received were on a bit of a smaller size. Perhaps that could have been an error on my part for not being more clear with those details. With this all said, they were still extremely professional to work with, laid out everything beautifully, and were an absolutely wonderful addition to the wedding. Thank you so much for everything Amanda and Shealyn, the florals were absolutely stunning and the photos do not do it justice!
Fantasy Florals made our wedding day absolutely DREAMY. The bouquets, arch, table arrangements, etc. exceeded our expectations. They care so much about their clients and help make your vision a dream come true. All our guests were blown away by how beautiful our florals were. Highly recommend hiring them as your florists!!
Fantasy Florals did an amazing job on our wedding. My vision was jewel tone florals with pops of pink and I felt like they did a spectacular job on all of florals. They were also conscious of my budget and worked seamlessly with my coordinator and the venue's requirements. I've gotten so many compliments on my bridal bouquet for the wedding and it seriously was so beautiful.
Fantasy Floral Designs went completely above and beyond for our wedding. They are so awesome to work with and Shealyn is the sweetest person. Could not recommend them more!!! Would give 10 stars if we could.
Amanda and Shea are seriously THE BEST! My flowers turned out to be more amazing than I could have ever dreamed. I went to coffee with the both of them and explained to them my vision, showed them some inspiration photos, and discussed all of the places where we could put flowers throughout the venue. They helped me come up with new ideas and made recommendations that made my dreams come to life. I couldn't recommend Fantasy Floral enough!!
The best in OC. Fantasy florals is amazing. Literally loved everything they provided us with on the day of the wedding. They were so easy to work with and knew the venue well which was a big help. Would definitely Recommend them to anyone who was getting married.
The flowers were absolutely beautiful. We hired Fantasy Floral for our wedding. Everything from the bouquets to the arch was perfect. They made sure to get my idea of a “Fall sunset vibe” into the arrangements. They were also very flexible when I needed to change certain details! You guys rock! ❤️
Fantasy Floral far exceeded my expectations for my wedding day! They were professional, responsive, detailed, and truly made my vision come to life! Shea absolutely went above and beyond. My mother passed away last year and I wanted to incorporate a piece of her dress into my bridal bouquet. Without asking, Shea offered to come to my rehearsal site to pick up the piece so I didn’t have to drive anywhere before my wedding day. No charge or anything. Everything turned out beautiful and I would highly recommend!
Fantasy Florals was great!! Very responsive and made the process easy! Would definitely recommend!!
WOW! Shea with Fantasy Florals exceeded my expectations for my daughters wedding!!! The tall floral vases on the tables were absolutely STUNNING and guests still keep talking about how amazingly beautiful they were!! Actually it was all the beautiful flowers that truly made everything look amazing!! Loved Shea and her team - I highly recommend them!!!! :)
Fantasy Floral Designs did the most amazing job with our wedding flowers! I described my vision for the flowers I wanted on my wedding day and they went above and beyond with making that vision a reality. They were flexible throughout the entire process, changing my order at my request multiple times. I would recommend Fantasy Floral Designs to absolutely everyone!
Fantasy Floral Designs managed to transform my brother and sister-in-law's backyard into a wildly beautiful tropical wedding. I couldn't have dreamt up a fraction of their magic. The only direction I gave the mother-daughter power duo was "you can do whatever you can dream up besides bright pink." They delivered on their promise to create our fantasy- everything they created was unique and wildly stunning. They used live plants and mushrooms to add texture to every element of their design. Not only did they create spectacular arrangements, but they styled our entire wedding. I'd urge any couple to forget about their Pinterest board and allow these ladies to do what they do best- create!
I 500% recommend this vendor! All of our flowers were breathtaking and the design was ON POINT! I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED my bouquet! Fantasy Floral exceeded our expectations and we have no regrets using them! In addition to our flowers being great Shea and her Mom were also kind, personable and just all around fantastic! No regrets!
WOW! Words cannot describe how amazing our experience has been with Fantasy Floral Designs. We had to move our wedding 3 times due to COVID and the pandemic, and FFD was accommodating every step of the way! Even after our date had changed several times, they remembered everything we had discussed in prior meetings! When the big day came, it was exactly like the pictures I had shown. Our guests and family were in awe of how beautiful everything turned out! If you are considering a wedding in the OC area- I HIGHLY recommend them!
Fantasy Floral Designs really hit it out of the ballpark with our wedding. Shealyn was so attentive, responsive, and flexible with us as we planned our perfect day. I changed my entire theme twice and she helped me with figuring out how we can get the most out of our budget. She was super quick to respond to any questions and was always so nice! For our wedding day, I was in shock how beautiful all the arrangements, bouquets, and arch turned out. I really could not have dreamt up better looking flowers. Fantasy Floral Designs went above & beyond for us and we know they will for you too. Absolutely recommend 100% over & over again!!
Shea is great to work with and really wants to make it a beautiful day for her clients. She created a beautiful bouquet for my small beach ceremony! I can’t wait to work with her for our spring wedding.
Amanda and Shealyn are amazing! Our wedding was a tropical theme and they brought our vision to life!
We were initially supposed to get married on 5/2 and had to change to 10/3; they were understanding and accommodating which we really appreciated.
They were always accessible, we added some more arrangements last minute and it was no problem. We wanted some specific colors and leaves incorporated and they nailed it. My bouquet was absolutely stunning - received so many compliments on this from people all over. They also created a beautiful flower crown for me which I wore for the reception and was a huge hit!
We leveraged their diamond arch which looked beautiful at our venue on the water. They decorated it with beautiful greens and some pops of color. It didn't even look real it was so beautiful. Even my mother and mother-in-law who had to watch via Zoom were impressed.
I strongly recommend working with them for your event. If we ever have floral needs again we'll definitely reach out to them!
Very impressed! Amanda and Shea are great to work with and know what they are doing! The florals came out beautiful and exceeded my expectations! I told them that I love flowers and am all about details and they made it happen for a far more reasonable price than most other vendors. The flowers were fresh and beautiful. My guests could not stop talking about our arch and sweetheart table.
Amanda and Shea are a rockstar team!
Early on, my husband and I decided we didn't want to dedicate a fortune to florals. We assumed they were simply a "nice addition" to a wedding. Amanda and Shea were so accommodating to our budget, and I never once felt like they were trying to up-sell me into additional pieces or decorations. They confidently took my inspiration and essentially said "We got it!"
Due to Covid and me living far away, we never got to meet in person before the wedding, so I went into my wedding day pretty blindly. But WOW! Had I not known, I would have assumed we did indeed drop a fortune on our florals. I could not believe how beautiful and romantic every detail turned out. It went well beyond a "nice addition" and was truly a focal point of both the ceremony and reception. I was truly blown away by their efforts and their talents and am so glad I found them for our special day.
Thank you, Amanda and Shea, for making my wedding look like it came straight from a magazine spread!
Amanda and her team did the most amazing job making our special day so beautiful with her amazing floral designs! She was helpful throughout our planning and looked for ways to try to help us stay in budget. Everything went so smoothly and we loved how she brought our visions to life! On a personal level, she is so sweet and kind and made the whole experience enjoyable. Thank you, Amanda!
My Finance and I did not know where to begin with coordinating flowers for our wedding day. How much should we spend, how many do we need, what flowers do we want, etc, etc etc.
The moment we started working with Amanda at Fantasy Floral Designs, we felt immediate, trust, relief and clarity.
Amanda and her team at Floral Designers have strong aesthetic sensibilities and were AMAZING to work with! We are so grateful for the incredibly lush, arrangements that surrounded us on our wedding day.
Amanda provided a package that met our needs aesthetically and financially. She listened to us with patience, and offered her expert opinion. We could not have been more pleased with the execution day of, and highly recommend her team if you're looking for an awesome floral team !!
Worked with Amanda and was THRILLED with how well the florals looked at the wedding. We had a few phone calls leading up to the wedding and she captured the looks expertly. Guests were very impressed by how everything looked.
She is also great at helping come up with ideas for repurposing flowers from one part of the evening into the next to help reduce costs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We are extremely happy with the work Amanda completed for our wedding. I told her my dream of what I wanted that day, and she truly made it come true! All of our guests were blown away and taking pictures of our beautiful flowers. She also created a custom aisle runner for us the colors of a beautiful sunset. Working with her up until the day of our wedding was fun and stress free. We could not be more happy! We highly recommend this florist!
Amanda was amazing to work with and our wedding flowers looked beautiful! After meeting with Amanda months before our wedding, we talked about our color scheme and I told her my favorite flowers, and let her take it from there. While I love flowers, I didn't have an exact vision for what we wanted, so I let her get creative, and I'm so glad I did! I was happily surprised on the day of our wedding with beautiful bouquets and center pieces. She far exceeded my expectations! I would recommend her to everyone.
Seriously, do not work with any other florist other than Amanda at Fantasy Floral Designs! I found her by recommendation by my wedding venue at Turnip Rose Promenade and Gardens. She is SO easy to work with and always has the sweetest things to say! She makes you feel like you are doing business with family! Her prices are affordable and worth every penny. I trusted her with picking literally all of my flowers, and simply gave her a color scheme to go off of. She made us the most beautiful, romantic bouquets and pieces for my gazebo, head table, and small centerpieces for our tables! I let her know I was mainly using candles for my centerpieces, so she made me these gorgeous mini vases with flowers that overflowed to give the table the perfect amount of florals. Everyone wanted to go home with one! She went above and beyond and totally exceeded our expectations! If you want a florist who is fast on her quotes, quick to respond to your email, and has gorgeous taste, WORK WITH AMANDA. Thank you from a happy bride!
SO glad we went with Fantasy Floral Designs for our recent wedding. Amanda worked with our budget and went above and beyond to make sure everything looked just like the Pinterest photos I sent to her. She was punctual and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. Thank you for everything this past year Amanda!
I love love love flowers. However, finding a florist was one of the most stressful parts of planning our wedding. Flowers are just so darn expensive (which can freak a bride out!)…but also so beautiful and totally worth it in the end. In our search for a wedding florist, all the quotes we got back were outrageous. Then, through a referral by my wedding hair/makeup artist, we found Amanda and Fantasy Floral Designs. I instantly liked how real and straightforward Amanda was. We had a sit-down, no-pressure consultation and she seemed to really get our vision. She also understood our budget and worked with us to create beautiful arrangements in the look we dreamed of, but with seasonal flowers to keep our costs down. I was beyond happy with how the bouquets and centerpieces turned out. We had a black and white striped theme with gold accents, and the pop of color of our bright florals was absolutely stunning and perfect - everything I dreamed of. Amanda did an amazing job!
Amanda was wonderful to meet with. She is a true creative talent and had so many wonderful suggestions and helped me create a beautiful wedding without going over my budget.
The reason why I am only giving 4 out of 5 stars is because my bouquet was not what we had discussed. It was 3 times the size that I had wanted and I ended up having my planner help me trim it down. The bridesmaids bouquets and the ceremony/reception flowers were gorgeous but not in the correct colors that I had requested. I requested blush pink, marsala wine/deep fuscia and pale green eucalyptus. She did not incorporate the wine/fuscia shades.
Ultimately the flowers were beautiful but it wasn't exactly what I had envisioned. I think it would have been helpful to have a floral preview that way I could make the edits to the flowers prior to the wedding day.
Amanda was really great! She was very flexible about meeting to plan the design as well as the follow up meetings.
I was very back & fourth with what I wanted for my centerpieces and my color scheme, but Amanda was very understanding and discussed everything before making any changes. Communication was best over the phone because email took a couple days for a response and caused some miscommunication. Overall Amanda created the most gorgeous arrangements for my wedding and put together a beautiful bouquet with my grandmothers jewelry on it. It was exactly what I invisioned and more!
In all honesty, I was hesitant about Fantasy Floral Designs because we had some rough patches through the process. There were some miscommunications and I was a little weary about not seeing pictures of what I should expect on my wedding day. With that said, the flowers were BEAUTIFUL. They were on time and perfect. I was so sad to leave on my honeymoon the day after the wedding because I didn't get to appreciate them more! I recommend Amanda to everyone! She really delivered.
They did a fantastic job!
Amanda is so talented and does an amazing job. She brought to life my vision and 100% exceeded our expectations. We received and still are receiving so many compliments about the flower arrangements at the ceremony and reception. You are the best Amanda! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a florist, she truly does an amazing job!
What fun I had working with Amanda to create the flowers for my wedding! She is truly a magician when it comes to creating the perfect flower arrangements/bouquets to capture the exact look and feel that you want. And check out her broach bouquets - they are awesome!
Amanda did the flowers for my wedding and exceeded any expectations I had. I had to plan my wedding from NY (it was in CA) so I needed to have a lot of trust in my vendors since I couldn't stop by and see things. We did one initial meeting with her and tweaked our order throughout the engagement. At the end of the day I trusted her to follow the vision we discussed and 'just make it look nice.' Boy did she deliver! I was shocked when I first saw the bouquets. They were prettier than I ever expected. Same goes for our centerpieces. Amanda blew my mind. Everything was gorgeous and exactly in line with the theme we had discussed. Our pictures look absolutely amazing.
I highly recommend Amanda for a beautiful, floral arrangement/bouquet/table centerpieces.
I ordered several brooch items from Amanda for my wedding; another florist did my florals which were amazing. My mother collected hundreds of brooches for these items and met with Amanda to separate the items for each piece. When the items were ready (on my wedding day-and no sooner could she get them ready after we gave her the brooches 3 months in advance) the brooches were not placed where they were specified. Specifically, this was an issue with my brooch topper for the cake because we separated all the purple brooches out into one bag to make a purple brooch topper. So the cake which the baker made with purple ribbon now had a random multi-colored topper on it. This was very disappointing. There were also many sentimental peices that were to be placed on my bouquet that were placed on the fairy wands we ordered for the flowergirls. I agree with the other review about Amanda seeming scattered a bit.
Also, after calling Amanda several times the week of my wedding I never got ONE call back from her and only heard from her assitant who said the brooches could only be ready the day of my wedding.
It was truly a dissapointment that such beautiful work falls on deaf ears. I recommend being very specific when ordering from fantasy floral designs.
Amanda is just amazing. I had so many ideas of what I wanted for my centerpieces, ceremony and bouquets. I showed her pictures and tried to explain my vision and she totally got the look I was trying to shoot for. I used succulents in my floral arrangements and she just made it look so awesome and organic. My boutonnieres were air plants...so cool! I am very pleased with how everything came out and have only good things to say about Amanda. Thank you!!!
Amanda was wonderful and had so many great ideas!! I had a strict budget and she stayed within that and I got a lot for my money. The centerpieces were beautiful and my bouquet was amazing. She was organized, timely and very creative. Everything turned out amazing!!!
You will not be disappointed with Fantasy Floral Designs. Amanda Heer did an amazing job for our wedding and she made it so easy. The end result took my breath away. Amanda truly understood what atmosphere we were trying to create. I could not have dreamed it better.
Charlotte & Ronald
Overall, the flowers were nice. We had a sample arrangement done but then the ones that we had on our wedding day seemed to be much smaller, not exactly what I had expected.
The florist also seemed a little scattered throughout the process. But luckily, no major issues.
amanda heer, the owner, is great. we had one meeting with her over skype and she had our entire vision and hit it just right. she had all her questions ready to get a good idea of the feel and look we were going for and that was all she needed to come up with some of her own ideas that would fit our styles. perfect, friendly, really down to earth, and just a kooky, artistic person in general!
my flowers were gorgeous! the colors were breathtaking and everything was at the venue setup ontime
