I was eloping and made my own fake floral bouquet. The night before my wedding, I changed my mind, and reached out to Lavonnes - I gave them my price range, and gave her free range...
over my bouquet design. It was simply beautiful - exactly what I wanted! She was so helpful with me changing my mind 3 times - first 4 bouts, then 4 bouts + my bouquet, then 2 bouts and a slightly bigger bouquet - she was so sweet to me on each phone call, and my husband said she was very kind @ pick up as well!
Thank you Lavonne’s Florist and Jean for helping my husband and I have our fairytale wedding. They did an amazing job with the flowers. The ceremony and reception flower decor was ...
absolutely beautiful. The place was like a fairytale dream come true when I walked into Athena Yacht. Thank you!!
Jean from Lavonne's florist was so kind, patient and attentive with me throughout the whole process. I planned for a year 9ut, so as you can imagine, there were many changes throug...
hout the year, up until the wedding. She was professional and understanding the whole time. Not to mention affordable and will work with you. The day of my wedding was amazing! Thanks to Jean: the decor was beautiful! Just how I imagined it would be. She didn't forget any detail.. she perfected her craft.. I was in love with everything from the cake to my cascade bouquet. I definitely reccomend lavonne's florist

vous about trying to describe what I wanted and hoping a florist would be able to execute it and Jean exceeded my expectations! All of the flowers (ceremony, centerpieces, bridal & bridesmaids bouquet, boutonnières) were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted!! Our guests were so impressed by the flowers, too! Jean's prices were really good especially for the magic she makes happen! The quality of the flowers was great as well. I would highly recommend Jean & Lavonne's to anyone looking for a florist!

ere beyond what I imagined. I brought her numerous photos and she provided exactly what I envisioned and beyond. She takes time and care to ensure the freshest flowers. You will not be disappointed-your search for a florist is over-hire LaVonne's and be done!
I'm giving the venue a 3 for my overall experience with electra cruises. When we first viewed all the yachts electra cruises had to offer, we were pretty satisfied. We chose the de...
stiny yacht to get married and began our wedding process. Allison was whom we did all of the planning with up to the week before; and then they gave us ali to coordinate the wedding. I'm not sure why they would change the person the week before your special day. Especially when we discussed all our ideas and dreams with allison the year leading up to the wedding.
When we began the planning process it was fun for us. We even got to board the eternity yacht to have a tasting and meet the vendors electra coordinates with. The vendors we chose were amazing!! We chose cinderella cakes for cake pops and cake, roy mendoza for our dj, and La Vonne's florist for our floral design. We couldn't have been more satisfied with our vendors!!
The biggest downfall with electra cruises is their resolution techniques. We liked allison, however every time we had an issue, for example: going over our menu or making any minor adjustments, it seemed like a hassle for them. We also had a few questions that were not answered properly. One being the on-going construction they have. Allison assured us the construction would be finished by our wedding day, but it was not. When we asked the person working at the ticket booth she gave us an honest answer; so at least it wasn't as BIG of a suprise on our wedding day. Also i have yet to hear from the operations manager concerning the issues we encountered on the day of our wedding, which was on 10-17-15. Electra cruises is NOT skillfully prepared for weather on the destiny yacht. It was very hot on the yacht!! We had a lot of guests get sick from the heat. I've heard people complain that the heat was bad on the yachts in previous yelp reviews, but our ac broke. Electra should be more prepared for these kinds of situations. I would have been satisfied with a few fans around the boat and more open windows. They only provided a fan when we were eating at the bow of the boat. None of our guests had fans at their tables. We also paid for a champagne toast that roughly cost $500 and we did not receive one. The coordination for our cake cutting was also messed up and i found out that a few of our guests never even received a slice of cake. This saddens me. Be careful when choosing electra for your wedding. Although i chose to enjoy my day regardless of the issues we encountered.... there were quite a few problems. Our wedding party was announced incorrectly, i had to lug vases we paid for across the dock full of water in my wedding dress because of mis-communication, and it took a lot of effort from the groom and myself to get our things on and off the boat as well as back to the car. I hate to complain but these were truly difficult issues to encounter on a wedding day of all days. It did not feel like electra cruises was there for us overall. The vendors are the only reason this venue has a higher star rating.

LaVonne's delivered beautiful flowers and even added sparkles to my bouquets. The flowers were set up even prior to my arrival.

love that they were in so many important pictures of the evening. If I were to ever be asked for a florist recommendation I would definitely highly recommend LaVonne's! And I would use them again if I ever needed to for a big event.

finally arrived, I was disappointed with my flower arrangements. At our appointments, I explained to them that I wanted a grand feeling by having large bunches for my ceremony and tall, abundant filled center pieces. Sadly, I did not get my vision fulfilled. My flower portions were very light. I was even told that they would give me extra flowers. I had also requested all white flowers with the exception of lightly colored orchids and they added purple flowers that I did not request! The flower petals that lined our aisle were very scattered and appeared sloppy. Also, our flower topper for our cake was extremely light. On the positive side, the flowers were fresh and had a great fragrance. But, I would not recommend LaVonne's Florist for a wedding event.
Lavonne's Florist was one of Electra Cruises vendors that I was referred to. Let me say this. Jean and Christina at Lavonne's Florist really made my visual goal of my wedding come ...
true.
They work with you side by side, taking the time and courtesy to show you all the different types of styles and flowers you have to choose from.
They are budget conscious and try to save you money while keeping your wedding looking gorgeous!!!
To the point: I highly recommend LaVonne's if you are looking for affordable, beautiful and absolutely gorgeous flower displays.

er since they know what is in season and what they can get and it made everything look even better than what I expected. They were realistic and told me what I could get and what I could not for the season. I have heard of horror stories of florists over promising brides so they could charge them an arm and a leg and they never get what they wanted. They are the sweetest to work with and very patient for the bride who has a hard time making final decisions! They treated my like I was their only customer and I will never forget the beautiful work they did. They even made my mom her own flower that was her favorite as a surprise! They helped make my day perfect!

showroom, and the final product was better than I could have imagined. My favorite part was my boquet--gorgeous colors, fresh flowers. Everything was very tasteful and elegant, but fun and colorful at the same time.
LaVonne's did a great job for us. We used green hydrangeas for everyone, which inspired our wedding color "pop" of green on black and white damask. Included in the bouquet were Ger...
bera Daises with black centers. Very pretty. All of the bouquests were wrapped in black, white and silver and the groomsmen, ushers, parents, ring bearer and flower girl were all marked to avoid confusion. They were a little spendy, so definitely be aware and talk to them about alternative flowers or a way to use a similar colored, less expensive flower to replace or pare down your flower choices (with 1 bride, 7 bridesmaid's, 7 groomsmen, two ushers, one dad, one stepdad, two moms, a step mom, 2 ring bearers, 2 speakers and a flower girl, we added up fast) so definitely discuss options with them-they have great ideas and will work with you. Day of, the flowers were already in the bridal suite for all of the girls and the parent's corsages/boutinieres and guy's were all on board and waiting. Probably the easiest vendor we had to work with!

y to work with. They will make your floral visions come to life.
My bouquet and my bridal parties' bouquets were made of stargazer lilies, hot pink roses, and pink hydrangeas. They were gorgeous and smelled so yummy!
I had 2 different centerpiece arrangements. The first was a tall square vase that had orchids in it with submersible lights at the bottom (I provided). The second was a shorter square vase with pink hydrangeas, stargazers, and more submersible lights. I had a black and white damask printed ribbon around each centerpiece. They were both beautiful and my guests ate them up - in the sense that they were so excited to take a centerpiece home at the end of the night.
I was extremely satisfied with all my flowers and all the little details Lavonne's attended to. I highly recommend them for any and all floral arrangements.
We used LaVonne's for our labor day wedding, and overall, they did a good job. They were friendly, and quick with ideas and ways to implement what we wanted done.

e concerned with how much we were paying for what it was we were getting. They were quick to suggest this curly willow arch that was a few hundred dollars than their description seemed. But come wedding day, when we got on the boat (we were on a yacht through Electra Cruises) everything looked tip top shape. The arch, for aesthetic purposes was worth it, and the boquets and everything looked great.
The only problems we had mostly were colors ended up being different on wedding day than we had requested. But everything else was great.
We chose this florist from a list of vendors included with our venue. They were easy to work with and very friendly. They took plenty of time to meet with us and even followed up w...
ith us as the wedding got closer. On the day of the wedding, the flowers were set up and waiting for us well before we arrived - which, I"m told, is one horror story we didn't have to deal with. They were healthy and fresh and people liked them, so overall, they were good.
I only had 2 complaints but both come with a clarification. The first is that I, personally, didn't like the flowers and they were fairly far from what I had envisioned in my head. I need to clarify this because it is entirely possible that I didn't communicate things well or that what I had wanted may not have been possible or adviseable. I readily admit that I am not a floral expert. But I had envisioned deep and vivid purples and blues to really stand out against the black bridesmaid's dresses, but what I got was lilacs and baby blues and whites. Interestingly, the groomsmen's boutineers were a fabulous dark purple and perfect. But our flowers?... washed out and not really what I had wanted. IT certainly was catastrophic, nor did it ruin my wedding. In fact, everyone else thought they were wonderful. But I'm grateful for photshop because at least for our pictures, they'll be the colors that I wanted.
The only other real ocmplaint I had was that they were realy expensive. I'm not a professional flower buyer and I'm under the understanding that ALL wedding flowers and decorations are expensive. But I know that when I found out what their estimate for 15 centerpieces was going to be, I ordered just the flowers for the wedding party and we did our own manzanita tree center pieces for a 1/4 of the price. It was a lot of work but I saved well over $1,000 and our centerpieces turned out perfectly. I don't mind being charged a lot for something I CAN'T DO but didn't want to spend all that money on something I could. We bought extra appetizers instead.
Jean and LaVonne's florist is amazing. I lived outside of CA, so I had to place my order over the phone. She was great. I told her I really love bird of paridise, but decided not t...
o use them in my wedding. A few days before the wedding I went down to her shop to introduce myself. She was kind and welcoming. She surprised me by saying she added my bird of paridise to my ceremony flowers!!! I was so excited. She did an amazing job!
They were great! They know what they are doing, and people there were so nice. I told them what I had in mind, and they made it happen. Thank you!

ough they didn't normally make appointments on that day. Jean answered all of my questions and made sure I had a beautiful flowers everywhere. When a corsage went missing she ran to her shop and made a new one made in minutes, no questions asked! Highly recommend them, they were fantastic!

I used LaVonnes and I was thrilled with the price and the quality.

Loved Jean- so sweet and accomodating. We met a few times and thought we were on track. I was a little disappointed in the table arrangements. They weren't what we had talked about...
although they were pretty, I was disappointed. And one of the father's boutineers didn't get made...but they improvised and hurry to make up something there.
