Moments in Bloom

o use as a chuppah, and it worked out beautifully.

out. They were one of my favorite parts of the whole wedding. I would definitely recommend Dede and her team to anyone looking for gorgeous flower arrangements. You will be beyond happy with the result.

rried I wouldn't be able to afford her but her quote came back the same as another florist but Tara's arrangements were way more modern and current. I was thrilled! When she walked in on the wedding day while I was getting ready i was blown away about how good everything looked. Everyone commented on our flowers the whole evening. I highly recommend Moments in Bloom!

my work friends and my photographer told me about Tara's beautiful work and oh my and I thankful to them both. I remember walking into my bridal suite and I just stopped and teared up- Tara made exactly what I wanted in mine and my bridesmaids bouquets! My maids of honors loved their bouquets too! Thank you Tara!!

wedding, I was ready to book with another florist that was located much farther from our wedding site, the Carlsbad Hilton. We called our wedding coordinator at the Hilton, and her first recommendation was the Moments in Bloom team located in Carlsbad. My first interaction with Dede was email setting up a time that we could be introduced via FaceTime (we live 2 hours away from Carlsbad). I immediately feel in love with not only her professionalism and welcoming personality, but also the talent she displayed. Yes, on our first "meeting" FaceTime phone call, she created the centerpiece that was beyond what I envisioned. It was absolutely beautiful. I committed to Dede and her team on the spot. As the months passed, Dede was open to ALL the changes I made up until the week before the wedding. She was extremely patient with me. =] Her prices were fair, considering I did some shopping around before I was able to commit to her. The day of the wedding was THE FIRST TIME I was able to meet Dede and Tara personally. The day went beyond smooth because of the way they handled set up of all my beautiful arrangements, and so much more. Moments gave me so much to remember about our special day. It was BEYOND what I envisioned and it showed Dede and Tara's true talents considering we only communicated through email and phone calls. I cannot thank the Moments in Bloom team enough for making more than anything I could ever imagine. Thank you Dede and Tara! Your talents are beyond amazing!

de and I exclusively spoke via email and phone. Yet, somehow, she was able to get a spot-on reading of my vision and taste in flowers. She was communicative, flexible, and creative in all of our conversations, and I could not have been happier with the final result. If she could pull off all of that never having laid eyes on me, I can only imagine the beauty she'd create with a local bride!

ts in Bloom played a very special and important part in our wedding. Floral design was very important to me, as I ultimately had some fairly specific looks and flowers in mind. I spent a great deal of time examining the Moments in Bloom website and photo blog to ensure I loved their style, then reached out to them! We had a great meeting with Dede at their studio in Carlsbad, and we just really liked her and Tara and their whole vibe! They are both super nice, very talented and hardworking, and you can just tell how much they love what they do. After we booked them as our florist, my now-husband and I actually moved out of state, and we suddenly had a ‘destination wedding’ on our hands! But it was so easy to work with Dede over phone and e-mail to discuss our wedding floral design and communicate ideas and visions. Dede was very responsive, thoughtful and patient to boot! She hunted down the perfect centerpiece vases and customized them just for us; Dede also happened to find me some special ranunculus flowers for my bridal bouquet in the exact perfect color, despite having counted them out since they were out of season! Just a bit of magic she managed that I had to mention. ;-) In regard to the wedding day itself – Dede and Tara were prompt, reliable, and ever so efficient! Our venue, the Safari Park out in Escondido, requires vendors to cart all of their stuff into the middle of the park literally on golf carts. It’s no small challenge, and certainly adds to set-up time, so they were hustling! But man, did they deliver. Everything was beautiful and arranged perfectly. We highly recommend you consider Moments in Bloom for your wedding florals!

howed us samples and gave great suggestions for our centerpieces. My bouquet had beautiful big roses...we are so glad we went with Moments in Bloom. Thanks Tara and your Team

our color choices. I spoke to Tara on the phone long before I ever met her and knew from our first phone conversation that she understood what we were going for. I had seen her work in a San Diego Weddings magazine and loved what I saw. I had sent her pics from pinterest of looks that my daughter and I loved and she was very attentive to our wants and needs. Her work was so spectacular and our guests raved about how beautiful all of the flowers were. I feel flowers are at the top of the list of importance when it comes to wedding planning. They set the tone for the entire wedding and we received exactly what we were looking for = FABULOUSNESS!!!

e was awesome: professional, talented, and so sweet! I don't know much at all about flowers, but had some photos of arrangements/bouquets that I liked and Dede really made those come to life. She totally got my vision and the flowers were just stunning. She made "mock ups" for me to see before the wedding and tried out lots of different kinds of flowers to make sure I was really happy with the final decisions. I also appreciated the little details that Moments in Bloom did that set them apart from other florists I was looking at: 1. They had interesting glassware (e.g. bubble bowls) that looked really cool and I had never seen before. 2. They wanted to tailor the flowers to our event in a personal way - my fiance and I are scientists so some of our arrangements were in beakers and flasks and that was a big hit! 3. They have their own arches for wedding ceremonies (a lot of florists don't and require you to rent these separately) and did all the set up and break down. I got so many compliments on my wedding flowers. We went with plain white table linens because the centerpieces were so spectacular, and I'm glad we did! They were a highlight of the event. All in all, I feel like I really lucked out in finding Moments in Bloom, and I couldn't recommend them any more. Customer service was top notch. I am totally going to hire these ladies again for any event I plan in the future!
