I got so many compliments from our guests about the flowers. I didn't see or communicate with the florist the day of (which I wish I could have), but we had the flowers, and everyt...
hing was ready to go for our big day! Happy for all her help!
Finest City Florist did a wonderful job providing the florals for my Fall wedding at Mt. Woodson Castle! The prices were very reasonable and they were always very responsive to any...
questions/changes I had. They were able to set up our additional decor for our centerpieces as well (candles, table runners, etc.). Highly recommend if you are looking for a florist in the San Diego area.
Working with Desiree was wonderful! She was able to do exactly what we wanted with a reasonable budget. Compared to other florist quotes, hers was a great value. The work she did t...
urned out beautifully and I was extremely pleased! She even had multiple meetings with us to get our vision. Super sweet, very reasonable, and I really enjoyed working with her. Would recommend her to anybody for their wedding!
My husband and I were so happy with our floral arrangements made by Desiree! They complimented our wedding colors perfectly, and looked so classic and elegant. We got a lot of comp...
liments, and our guests were happy to take home the centerpieces. Desiree was great on communication, and she tailor made a proposal for our individual needs that was within our budget. She was a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend Finest City Florist!
Finest City Florist was one of the preferred vendors for our wedding venue, and for good reason-The florals they did turned out INCREDIBLE.
As a bride that knows absolutely nothi...
ng about flowers, I just sent some inspiration pictures from Pinterest, the color scheme for our wedding, a vague idea of what I was imagining- and they absolutely killed it!!
When I originally reached out I had a very different vision, and slowly through the course of wedding planning, that vision changed, I emailed the team at FCF and they said “No problem!”
Also Finest City Florist prices couldn’t be beat! Everyone else I tried to get quotes from had super high minimums, I had a smaller budget and just needed the basics: florals for the arch, bouquets and a mixture of tall and short centerpieces.
I was absolutely OBSESSED with our tall centerpieces, I loved them so much, my only regret is I didn’t get to admire them more in person on our wedding day! We received tons of compliments that the florals and bouquets complemented our wedding aesthetic and venue.
I never got the opportunity to meet the team in person, everything was done via email and phone, but if I ever get the chance to see them in person I would want to give FCF the biggest hug. They made the entire process incredibly easy for this stressed out bride.
If you need a florist when you know absolutely nothing about flowers, you aren’t entirely sure how to articulate the vision you want, but you know you want them to be pretty and are on a smaller budget- Finest City Florist are your people!

was so accommodating and understanding of every situation. We nearly doubled our flower order 2 weeks before the wedding AND she delivered our order to 2 different locations! I can’t say enough good things about Finset City Florist! I will always come back here for all of my floral needs. Plus, it’s a huge bonus that I get to support a local small business at the same time!
I of course loved the trendy florists on Instagram, but their prices did not work for our wedding budget. My husband found Finest City Florist on Craigslist, and I was doubtful at ...
first, but Desiree is the best! She is SO helpful, patient, and sweet. She has a cute little shop you can visit, or just communicate with her via email. She was able to figure out exactly what I was looking for by my description of our wedding aesthetic. She delivered the florals to our venue in a timely manner and was great in communication. I got the florals I'd always wanted without the Instagrammer prices! Such an amazing deal, wonderful vendor, and beautiful product. I can't say enough about her, you won't regret using Finest City for your wedding!

husband's boutonniere wasn't what we requested. Other than that though, the flowers were beautiful and everyone loved them. Highly recommend Desiree :)

and was able to keep it in the budget we had. After getting quite a few quotes she was the most competitive. She worked worked with us on meeting times and locations. Our flowers were absolutely beautiful. She’s your gal if you want real flowers.
Desiree was beyond amazing. Worked with me in deciding everything from centerpieces to bouquets. Flowers were beautiful. Very affordable!
All I can say is that Desiree was amazing! We hired her to do the flowers for our wedding in Nov. 2015.
I found her on a wedding website and she was very affordable, and considera...
te of our budget from the start.
We ended up deciding to put more budget into flowers because of her recommendations and affordability.
The arrangements were beautiful and she was extremely flexible, making different sets of flowers for the corsages, for the groom's and groomsmen boutonnieres, for the bridesmaid's bouquets and for the bride bouquet. There were so many different combos of flowers and ribbon colors, but she kept it all straight and everything was perfect!!
Thank you for bearing with the many flower selection questions and changes!
She even reached out to me when she knew that the original arrangement vases were not available, and let me know my options (we ended up going with the metallic silver vases which were understated but lovely, and just enhanced the beautiful flowers).
She also delivered the flowers and set them up. We had beautiful centerpieces that got compliments from many guests, and a gorgeous flower spray over our gazebo. The spray was rigged up so well, that it took 3 groomsmen to get it down at the end of the night!
Desiree was so amazing to work with for all my wedding floral needs. She took her time to work with my budget and ideas until we got it right. The flowers for the entire wedding ...
