I absolutely loved my flowers from Karla! She did an incredible job at seeing my vision and executing. I was so impressed when I saw the bouquets on the day of my wedding. Karla was a preferred vendor for my venue. When researching florists, she was the one who was the fastest in responding AND she provided mock-up pictures in the contract to make sure that it matched what I envisioned. I knew from that document that she understood what I wanted. We only got bouquets and boutonnieres from her, and she delivered. Everyone commented on how beautiful they were. We were also able to repurpose them for the reception as decorations which was great. She also texted me once she made the bridal bouquet to warn me that it was heavy and how to hold it properly to reduce the amount of natural shedding (I had a draping bouquet full of wildflowers). I also was having so major Venmo issues the week of the wedding, which really caused me to stress out about the final payments for the vendors. She was flexible with me and we were able to work it out. Overall, I would totally recommend her as your florist for any event and would happily work with her again. Thank you for everything Karla!

From the arrangements, floral choices, and even vases…every little detail was just perfect, and better than we could’ve ever imagined. Pretty sure my bouquet was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen! Thank you for collaborating with us to bring our vision to life and elevating it the way you did…everything was just simply breathtaking 🤍 You are an amazingly talented florist and we will recommend you to everyone we know. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us create the wedding of our dreams…we couldn’t have done it without you! THANK YOU KARLA!!!

Karla was an absolute pleasure to work with! From beginning to end, she was exceptionally organized, maintained regular communication, and asked insightful questions to ensure our vision for the day was fully understood. Thanks to her dedication, our wedding florals stood out as the highlight of the event. Gazing up at the vibrant sky and blooming flowers as we exchanged vows is a memory we'll cherish forever. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Karla!
Any questions?

Karla was extremely professional and was very detailed. She made our vision come to life. She was responsive to every need we had and did a absolutely beautiful job. Our guest could not stop talking about how beautiful the floral arrangements were. I would highly recommend Luxury Floral Designs by Karla Kreations

Karla was an absolute dream to work with. She was so friendly and helpful during the process of determining what we really wanted. We made changes multiple times on the what we ultimately wanted our florals and the design to be and Karla was super flexible and easily made adjustments to what we were looking for. She also really helped us with finding just the right price point we were looking for.
We gave her the idea to our center pieces, our colors, how we wanted to aisle and arch to look but other than that we did not tell her any specific flowers we wanted so we left that up to her creative decision. And boy did she knock it out of the park.
When I walked into the venue I honestly could have cried I was so amazed and happy at how absolutely perfect and beautiful our flowers looked. Everything from the bouquets to the center pieces to the aisle and arch were just flawless. It was more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined. We had so many compliments for all the florals, I think almost every single
Person at our wedding made a comment on how beautiful they looked. Our photographer even said Karla was her new favorite florist.
I am so grateful we found Karla and had her as our florist. Thank you so much for your professionalism, artistry, kindness and making our day so perfect!

We absolutely loved having Karla as our florist! She was so easy to work with and captured our vision perfectly. We enjoyed all of her creativity when putting together our florals and she even added twinkle lights to the arch we brought so it could stand out at night. Throughout the process, Karla was flexible with adding or removing any florals we needed as we became more certain in our decor choices and she showed us photos to help us decide on certain floral elements. All the florals she created for us really elevated our wedding and we really can't thank her enough for making our day so special.

Karla was detailed, organized, and hands-on during the entire floral selection process. Karla was always available to answer questions, make changes, and advise. She truly made my dream wedding come true. She nailed my vision, colors, and floral arrangements ideas.

Karla did the flowers for my wedding and I am SO SO happy with how they turned out. We met early on at her studio and she made me feel super comfortable with the planning process. I did not know how to articulate what I wanted and she asked all the right questions that helped me figure out my aesthetic. After we talked she made a super helpful planning sheet that laid out each arrangement, how many and where they would go. I am very visually and textually oriented so that was very helpful for me. We checked in multiple times leading up to the day and she was super flexible and rolled with all the little changes and additions I had. On the day of she was like a flower fairy, making sure everything was where it was supposed to be and tweaking what needed to be tweaked. If you chose LFD for your wedding or event you can be sure that she will get it done smoothly and you will not need to stress about anything. You are in good hands with Karla and, most importantly, your flower bouquets and arrangements will be STUNNING.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Karla for our wedding reception, and we cannot express enough how thrilled we were with her exceptional services. From the initial consultation to the final setup, she went above and beyond to create a truly magical atmosphere that exceeded all expectations.
The level of professionalism demonstrated was outstanding. She listened attentively to our vision, took the time to understand our preferences, and provided expert guidance to help bring our ideas to life.
The floral arrangements themselves were nothing short of breathtaking. Every centerpiece, and accent piece was meticulously designed and flawlessly executed. The attention to detail was truly remarkable. The arrangements not only enhanced the beauty of the venue but also evoked a sense of romance and joy throughout the evening.
The delivery and setup were seamless, with her arriving promptly and ensuring that every floral element was perfectly placed. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every step of the process, making us feel confident and stress-free on our special day.
Moreover, the communication with Karla was superb. They were responsive, attentive, and receptive to any changes or adjustments we wanted to make along the way. Their dedication to ensuring our complete satisfaction was evident from start to finish.
If you're looking for a wedding florist who will exceed your expectations with their talent, professionalism, and creativity, we wholeheartedly recommend Karla.

Karla at Luxury Floral Designs was an amazing vendor to work with during our Monterey wedding!! From start to finish, she was incredibly responsive, perfectly executed my vision and listened to my ideas/wants. Especially with how expensive flowers are, it was great to work with someone who worked within our budget. Thank you so much Karla!!!

Karla was great to work with. After I just had my budget DOUBLED after a month of working with my previous florist I was SO grateful that Karla worked with me so honestly - sharing what she could and couldn't do within the budget but getting creative so we could achieve my dream. She even drove out to the site with me for a final walkthrough to see if I was missing anything. She was so nice - I really enjoyed working with her.

Karla was professional, flexible, and most importantly, she listened. She was really able to grasp my vision for the flowers and style I wanted with minimal guidance. Her familiarity with local venues and wedding coordinators was also an added bonus as it took the stress of planning logistics off of me. I received nothing but compliments on our flower arrangements and they looked and smelled amazing. My only regret is not ordering more!

We envisioned a bright tropical theme for our wedding florals and Karla truly brought our vision to life so perfectly!
I know the names of maybe… 10 flowers? LOL so I just provided Karla with our color scheme, our wedding vibe, a few inspo pix, and trusted that she would deliver, and she certainly did! We received SO many compliments on the flowers and how beautifully they looked against our outdoor vineyard backdrop. It felt very unique and very us.
She was lovely, thorough, and easy to work with — receptive to customizing the work order as small adjustments needed to be made throughout the planning process. I highly recommend her for your wedding!

10000/10 would recommend. Karla exceeded all of our expectations. Everything was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. Karla was extremely easy to communicate with and made me feel incredibly confident that she knew what my vision was.

Karla was absolutely amazing. She brought our vision to life and worked with us through each step. She made sure to go over every part of our wedding and was attentive to our many questions. She arrived on time with fresh, beautiful flowers. I highly recommend Karla!

Karla was great to work with! She listened to my vision and executed it better than I could have imagined. She was very responsive and kept track of changes that were made along the way. Would highly recommend!

Our wedding was brought to life by Luxury Floral Designs and Karla! From my very first conversation with Karla, everything was well thought out and organized. She took our thoughts on what we wanted and a few simple inspiration photos and added her touch/ creativity and we could not be happier. We changed our mind on quite a few things over the course of our engagement and Karla was so understanding and patient. We chose garlands as our table centerpiece and they were so much more than I imagined they would be! I remember walking into the reception area after the ceremony and I was so impressed with how everything looked, such a good feeling as a bride. Our Mr. and Mrs. table was exactly what I had envisioned, simple but elegant. All of the bouquets were beautifully made and I am so excited to get them pressed! We highly recommend Karla and Luxury Floral Designs for you wedding or party!

Karla does such an amazing job with her florals. And even more than that. We appreciated her flexibility. She stuck with us through two postponements, a venue change and last minute variables. She’s talented and reliable and a dream to work with. THANK YOU KARLA
9/19/2022 • Jennifer V
Karla is beyond amazing! Together her mind and passion produce the most magical creations that enhanced our special day in so many ways. We were time limited and only gave her a few pictures to work with plus a short time span! She is extremely knowledgeable, supportive and helped in so many ways, along with asking questions that we didn't even know to ask! The colors and types of flowers were put together so thoughtfully and carefully! All of our guests kept exclaiming how beautiful and gorgeous all of our flowers were from the bridal party to the table decor!! She is extremely well known and respected by many vendors/sites!
Hire Karla and have no fears or worry for your big day/event! You'll get her hard work, professionalism, creativeness; plus she is just an amazing warm person to work with all around!
Thank You Karla from the bottom of our hearts for making our special day magical with your stunning creations!!

The bouquets, centerpieces, arbor, everything at my wedding was absolutely gorgeous! The bouquets were better than I could have imagined, full of so many different types of flowers! Karla was amazing to communicate with via email. Very responsive and even supplied pictures in her quote to give an idea of what she would be providing. 10/10 would recommend!
2/28/2022 • Michelle F
Karla was amazing to work with, and was so flexible during the re-schedule of our wedding due to covid. I had some last minute ideas before the wedding, and she went above and beyond in making the ideas come to life. All of my guests raved about the floral arrangements and bouquets-I highly recommend Karla and her team for your next big event and/or wedding!

Karla is a rock star. She had everything under control from Day 1 when we inquired to her - from absolutely nailing our vision to building an entire floral design that fit seamlessly into the aesthetic of our venue. She was communicative, friendly and thorough in every correspondence we traded in the months leading up. The day of our wedding, she was there early and ready to execute - even to the point where watching her work helped significantly to de-stress my groom!!! We even found a little note from her in our Guestbook Advice Box after our wedding. Karla gave us a truly beautiful wedding, down to the very last detail, and I truly believe she is a blessing to have in your corner for such a milestone event.

Karla designed the most gorgeous tropical flowers for our daughter's beach wedding in Monterey. She was pleasant, professional, and an absolute delight to work with throughout the entire process. She carefully guided us through the selection of flowers, bouquets, and decorative pieces at the initial consultation and provided us with a detailed invoice, complete with concept pictures of each piece ordered. Karla was always available and prompt in answering our questions as they arose while planning for the big day.
When the wedding day arrived, Karla miraculously delivered boutonnieres and bouquets to the wedding party and decorated multiple stations at four different sites at the venue. The flowers were by far the most beautiful design aspect of the wedding. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Karla.
11/05/2021 • Jessica C
Karla's attention to detail made our decision to hire her a breeze. She truly thinks of everything and was so unbelievably kind that I just cannot thank her enough. Her flexibility to talk on the phone afterhours, her thoughtful floral arrangements, the hair pieces for the flower girls, our custom requests that she perfectly executed, ah she is truly amazing. You will not be disappointed in hiring her and working with her. Thank you so much Karla, for helping make a dream wedding come to life!

Karla and her team BLEW me away! I showed her my vision with just a few inspirational pics and she created the most magical and romantic result! I was able to give her some pieces that I knew I wanted, and she added in accents to make even it better than I could have imagined. I will never use another florist again!
10/04/2021 • Maura S
I am so grateful that we found Karla and Luxury Floral Designs for our wedding! She was very thorough in her planning process, making sure to understand everything we wanted for our floral decor and providing example pictures of different designs to make sure she would get it right.
The day of, she dropped off bouquets and then made the rest happen without needing any input from either of us. It was incredibly magical to arrive at the wedding and see our vision executed perfectly from bouquets to centerpieces and garlands and everything in between! We were absolutely blown away and would highly recommend working with Karla and Luxury Floral Designs for your wedding florist!

Karla was a fantastic florist to work with. I'm the kind of girl who has no idea about florals at all -- I had a basic Pinterest board but it was all over the place, really no consistency. Karla took that and guided me through not only what to choose, but how to think about what to choose. She worked hard to hit my budget and more, gave me suggestions for arrangements to could cut costs, and even helped adjust my wedding day schedule so that the flowers would be fresh and beautiful for the whole day. I highly recommend Karla!
6/03/2021 • Rhonda A
I was beyond happy with our flowers, they were truly beautiful and Karla came through with help at the last minute. Highly recommend!

Karla went above and beyond to ensure that my wedding floral creations were perfect! I was a pretty indecisive bride who only had a rough idea of what I wanted (theme and colors was basically it) and Karla was able to take my very loose idea of a plan and turn it into something better than I could have ever dreamed of!
Karla was very responsive and organized which was awesome! She put together examples of what each floral arrangement would look like and included notes for colors and placement along with transparent pricing. I was able to review and make changes along the way to ensure it was exactly what I wanted in the end.
I'm so so pleased with how everything turned out! Don't hesitate to use Karla for your wedding or special event!

venue! All the best to you and Robert!!

She did a beautiful job! She even hand made a sentimental piece for my bouquet which turned out to be my favorite part of it. My step daughter loved hers as well!❤️
Response from the Vendor on 03/17/2021
