Tessfresh and Tessilk Flowers

inspiration from our Pinterest board and understanding the vibe we were going for. She worked seamlessly within our budget, never compromising on quality or style, and the result was nothing short of stunning. The arrangements were beautiful and exactly what we had envisioned. Marci's warm and friendly demeanor made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better florist to help bring our wedding vision to life!

res and give me the ideas. They never did that. I had to email and text them atleast a few times, it seemed like a problem and wish they would have better communication. Pretty flowers but would have made changes if they had spoken to me more. Also they charge you for pick up if you want to have them donate the flowers.

ter than I could have imagined. From the boutonnieres to the centerpieces to the flower crowns to my bouquet- everything was perfect.

ight budget. I had some last minute changes and they handled everything smoothly, with patience, and to perfection! I cannot recommend them enough! 10/10!

tos and resulted in the bride missing cocktail hour which was on the priority list to spend time with guests. Clients were assured the florals would be ivory and not white due to the Brides dress color. Day of event the silk florals on the arbor were bright white and not as discussed in the meetings.

ing I had to get her business card! A few weeks later, we had booked them for our wedding. I'm not well-versed in flowers, but I knew I wanted a bright, summery, tropical feel. I worked with both Marcy and Tess herself, and both offered wonderful suggestions that totally surpassed anything I had imagined. Tess was honest and kind and offered cost-cutting tips to help me make my vision come to life while staying within a reasonable budget. The staff set up the reception and ceremony space on the day of and returned that night to pick up the rentals, allowing me and my bridal party to relax knowing everything was taken care of. They delivered the bouquets and boutonnières to our hotel across the street so we would have them for pictures prior to the ceremony, and I even received pictures of my bouquet a day in advance so I could see and approve the final product. I've been researching how to preserve wedding flowers because I just can't bear to let them go! Their work is absolutely stunning. You will not be disappointed if you go with Tessfresh.

tails that were put into the bouquets and arch florals. Super friendly and easy to work with and I would recommend to anyone!

essional, but still affordable.

heir team is so accommodating and welcoming. I corresponded with them over email and phone while I was in the planning phase and then finally got to meet them in person when we got into town for the wedding. Rose, Marcie, and Tess took such great care to create the perfect florals for our wedding! I provided vases for all our centerpieces and they did the arrangements with the specific flowers I chose. We didn't have flowers on the arch, but did have drapery with some gold palm tree fronds, which they helped arrange with our day-of coordinator. Everything was gorgeous! I was especially relieved that they were so up front, had reasonable pricing, and didn't pressure me into doing more than I wanted. We wanted a minimal, elegant, and bold tropical look, and they made it happen! Thank you for making our special day so very beautiful! We absolutely loved the flowers and so did our guests!

l bridal party changes and it was no problem for Tess and her ladies. I appreciated that they were one of the few vendors during covid who still allowed me to meet in person. I’m not a very creative person, so seeing our florals in person was so helpful. Tess even provided our deconstructed arch for the ceremony, and it turned our perfect. All of the bouquets and flowers turned our just how I wanted them to. Everything went smoothly from start to finish thanks to Tess and her team. She even provided us a military discount! Tess’s vision was perfect for the vibe we were going for.

egrets.The process was so easy and everything I wanted and pictured followed through. Tess is so sweet and professional and makes sure that your vision is carried out. She makes sure that what the bride wants the bride gets. I had no worries on my wedding day about the flowers because I knew that they would take care of everything. And everything turned out beautiful. Don’t have any reservations about this flower shop, it’s the one to hire.

even able to get peonies in my bouquet which I didn't think we would be able to do (out of season). I'm so glad my wedding planner recommended them they do so a great job!

everything, asking questions and making suggestions. She listened to what I had in mind and captured it wonderfully while suggesting additions and tweaks based on seasonality and what would look good together. When we met again before the wedding, she had suggestions on how we could reduce the cost (returning the centerpiece lanterns ourselves after the wedding instead of paying for them to come pick them up). Everything came out beautifully and they were so great to work with! Highly recommend!!

very fresh and beautiful flowers. Great price as well.

cannot express how happy I was with our flowers.

nd other vendors. Unlike most brides, I did not have an exact vision for my wedding and just sent inspirational pictures of styles and colors I liked and left the rest up to the experts. I dropped off my grandmothers jewelry the week of my wedding and they affixed it to my bridal bouquet. They also texted me a photo AND video of my finished bridal bouquet the day before my wedding-that text was the most exciting and relieving message to receive amongst all of the pre-wedding chaos, it calmed me and made me so excited to see the rest of the florals on the big day. Day of the wedding they were on time, delivered personal flowers to our hotel and then the ceremony and reception florals to the venue! They provided gorgeous fresh petals for my flower girls. My bouquet was the most gorgeous arrangement of florals I've ever seen! It has now been a week and the arch florals are still at my house in near perfect condition and I am still enjoying my bridal bouquet too ;) I have complete confidence Tessfresh can do whatever your floral vision and dream is! I will definitely come back to Tessfresh for professional florals in the future. Thank you!

the ceremony spaced had to be flipped to dinner. So many florists made me feel uncomfortable about how hands on they would be for the flip, but Tess made me feel comfortable and on the day of everything looked perfect and I never even saw anyone working on it because they were so on top of it. Her prices were very reasonable for flowers and rentals. If you want beautiful florals at an affordable price, this is the team for you!

nts to the floral arrangements. Truthfully, during our preview appointment via Zoom I became a little concerned because of a miscommunication over one particular color. But the day of I was BLOWN away! Everything from the bouquets and boutonnieres to the welcome sign, arch decor and table arrangements were just beautiful. Thank you Tess and team for making our wedding flower dreams come true!

y reflected in mock ups or final day of delivery. Request: neutral blooms with a hint of orange + succulents for ceremony flowers and BRIGHT colorful flowers (orange, pink, purple, red, & yellow) + succulents for a Mexican Wedding Fiesta Reception. Initial appointment on Tuesday 6/8/21 (drove from 2 hours away): they had a mock-up for a reception centerpiece with neutral blooms with a hint of orange; it was absolutely beautiful, but not at all what I had asked for. Still, Tess put me at ease and stated they would correct the mix up without problem by my final mock up appointment. Trusting the other Yelp reviews and the recommendation I received to hire Tessfresh from my wonderful photography team (True Photography) I carried on with Tessfresh and placed a deposit. I was scheduled for my final appointment prior to the wedding for 9/4/21 by Rose. Madel then e-mailed me attempting to schedule the appointment that had already been scheduled... On 9/4/21 I arrive excitedly with my mom and sister (again drove in from out of town) to an ALL ORANGE center piece arrangement. I was SO disappointed... Tess was VERY apologetic and then offered to comp one of the garlands arrangements and assured me we could have a mock-up over ZOOM. The blame was placed on one of the staff members not adding enough details/pictures to the proposal. I then went back to the e-mails once I got home (unfortunately I had no cell signal at the shop) and nowhere on the proposal did it say the color should be orange only; the WORDS said the correct description, but I had sent an inspo pic w/ an orange arrangement in a wooden box asking for something similar to that wooden box and THAT's the picture Tess chose to use as the overall design completely ignoring the whole proposal her staff member had worked on for weeks with me. Tess also then found her notes from 6/8/21... from our initial meeting. About a week later, I received a picture and video for another mock-up, this time with the right colors but the flowers chosen/style just did not match the overall theme/inspo pictures I had originally sent in 06/2021... sent back many notes and didn't hear back until a couple days later stating they would do another mock-up WEEK OF wedding... there were SO MANY back and forth emails after this... mainly because I was at that point inspecting each and every word and picture on that proposal due to the two prior disappointments and huge oversights. I didn't switch vendors because at this point it was weeks before the wedding. DAY-OF: The center pieces and ceremony flowers ended up looking BEAUTIFUL/as requested BUT after the SUPER ROUGH JOURNEY above. ALSO: - They brought a FOUR-tier cake stand (it was confirmed multiple times I had requested a THREE-tier stand and that's what was on the proposal. My cakes had to be modified and it just did not end up as visibly beautiful as it was intended to look. Thankfully my day-of wedding coordinator made it work! - The staff left WITHOUT setting up the "Find Your Seat" and "Welcome" sign garland flowers. They just left containers with fresh flowers behind and left. My day-of coordinator did what she could and it looked OK but really? :(

ate. I will admit that when I did my consult, I was a little nervous that what she presented was not exactly what I had pictured. Due to the time of year, she had to make some different flower choices, etc. What was delivered on my wedding day was absolutely gorgeous and I was so happy. It was exactly what I wanted and also very unique.

de us in a good direction to create our vision. She is friendly and fun to work with. She went out of her way to make our day special!

t meeting with Tess was great! Tess was knowledgable, friendly, and so personable. She really made you feel like family, and her prices are reasonable. Throughout our planning process, Tess was so flexible with our budget! We were going back and forth with different ideas and ultimately, she and her team definitely delivered! On the actual wedding day, Tess's team were on time and delivered everything as promised. I was a little apprehensive at first because the week prior to our wedding, we made some more changes, so we couldn't see a full mock-up of how the florals would look, but they turned out beautifully! They definitely grasped the Disney/bright/colorful theme I was going for, and everyone loved the flowers! Thank you TessFresh!!!!

sooo excited to find out what my wedding flowers would look like. I had already a theme in mind and had several variations in my head. When my fiancé and I met with Tess to go over what I envisioned she explained a lot of the type of flowers depending on the season maybe or may not be available. Apparently, the flowers I wanted were not going to be in season but with her magic and resources, was able to still create the most beautiful bridal bouquet and centerpieces I wanted. You see the flowers and the bouquet sets the motif of the wedding and she nailed it on the wedding day. And my bouquet was going to be in every photo so you can image how important it was to me. She even provided me smart options on how to stay in budget so I can do more with my flowers during the ceremony and wedding reception. She was not all about upselling me but making sure my flowers were beautiful and inline with my goals as things quickly add up when planning a wedding. My guest loved the centerpieces so much as they all wanted to take them home. There is just the different special natural feeling when you have fresh flowers all throughout your wedding. If anyone is looking for a wedding florist, hands down Tess is your go to. She has an amazing artistic eye to create masterpieces the day of your wedding. I am so blessed to have her do my wedding flowers. I would recommend her in a heartbeat for anyone who needs a florist!

t I needed for my centerpieces and she executed it so much better than I could have imagined. Great communication and just absolutely wonderful. Will have to update my review with a picture once I have them back! 10/10!

s patient and helped us throughout the process. You can tell she genuinely cares about you and wants your wedding to be special. She went above and beyond, and her work surpassed our vision. She is very sweet, easy to work with, respects your budget, gives great advice on your flower arrangements, and is dependable. When wedding day came along, everything ran smoothly and all flowers were dropped off when they were promised. We highly recommend using them for your wedding or any special occasion! We're so happy we went with them as our florist!

d envisioned and we continue to receive compliments on the flowers when people see our photos. I plan to use Tessfresh Flowers again for future events. I'm confident you will be happy with them as well.

emic and wedding date change. The flowers were beautiful, the communication and timeliness were top notch, and I truly appreciate the valuable service they delivered over the last two years. Thanks Marci and team!! Absolutely recommend this florist!

with. Her expertise in flower species, eagerness to please, and contagious energy makes her a highly recommended vendor.

I shopped around quite a bit when it came to all of my vendors, and I am so happy I went with TessFresh. They were easy to work with, they gave me exactly what I wanted, and they were super flexible with our last minute changes. They provided the arch, draping, and flowers for the ceremony as well as the flowers to line the aisle. They moved all the aisle flowers to the dining tables and moved the arch flowers to the head table, they utilized every flower to make sure I got the most out of my money for the flowers. I didn't even notice them day of during the set up or moving the flowers. I don't remember any of the centerpieces at other weddings, but we got so many compliments on our flowers as ours absolutely stood out. I didn't know a lot about flowers or when things are in bloom, and TessFresh made recommendations based on quality and better pricing after I gave a general description, they were like mind readers in giving me the perfect floral arrangements. All of the flowers also lasted and looked beautiful a week after the wedding. So perfect! Would highly recommend!

few months before our wedding and Tess had some great recommendations to make the centerpieces even better. We got married at the Japanese Friendship Garden and the pink cherry blossoms happened to be in early bloom. Tess’s recommendation to put some blush into the center pieces and bridge arrangement turned out to match with the pink from the cherry blossoms really well. The bridal bouquet turned out beautifully too. We were planning the wedding from the East Coast but with great communication, they made it really easy to communicate over e-mail. We are huge fans and enthusiastically recommend Tess and her team for your big day.

she quickly came up with some beautiful and wonderful ideas for our big day. As the world changed in March of 2020, Tess and her team were always there to lend a helping hand in our planning process. They were so flexible and accommodating to the changes needed for our dinner reception to proceed in a safe manner. We are so glad that we listened to our instincts and went with TessFresh Florals for our wedding. She brought our tropical paradise by the sea to life and we are so thankful for her and her team. This is a day we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you Tess!

was postponed, they easily transitioned to our new August date. Then our wedding venue burned down, the provided centerpieces along with it. Tess, my wedding planner, and I had spent many hours designing our centerpieces around the original venues pieces. Three weeks before my wedding, I found another venue. We had to redesign the centerpieces in a huge rush. I showed her some pictures and voila, she not only created an even better design, but did so within my new budget. My guests were stunned with the beauty of the centerpieces!!! (pictures to follow soon!) My bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets were absolutely stunning!!! She found the perfect shade of pink! My father passed away about 2 1/2 years ago, she was able to secure his locket to the bouquet for my walk down the aisle. I'm still so impressed by the professionalism, design, and overall quality that I received with Tessfresh flowers. I cannot recommend her enough. If you want your wedding to be as beautiful as you've always dreamed, do yourself a favor and hire Tess!!! You won't regret it!

ve been more pleased. She seems to know every venue in San Diego and gave us great advice on how to use our budget wisely and accent the natural beauty of our space. Our larger wedding got postponed due to COVID so we had a smaller ceremony with just family. Tess was incredibly flexible with the multiple changes that came along with the new date. Her team was very responsive and kept detailed notes so nothing fell through the cracks. The flowers for the arches were stunning and the bouquet was absolutely breathtaking. We can't wait to use Tess for our reception post COVID and highly recommend her and her team!

tions/ changes and she was able to accommodate with no issues. I highly recommend her and her team for any event, they truly made our wedding day special!

my budget, which was so important to me. She was professional and went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect and set up beautifully for the reception. Professional, talented, experienced and well priced. If you’re looking for the best hire Tessfresh, you won’t be disappointed!

visited their shop for our initial meeting, they were extremely welcoming (and even had us join in on a company potluck). In addition to the flowers we also rented a cake stand, centerpieces, and an arch. We are from the east coast so we weren’t able to do an in-person meeting to view the mock-ups but that was no problem because they sent videos and photos. I can’t say enough good things about Tessfresh Flowers.

s meant to my mom and grandma, re-budgeting, and seeing the work the Tess had done in the past. I'm so glad we decided to go with Tess! During our first meeting, she was easy to talk to and had so many ideas to bring my wedding. She was budget conscious and discussed re-purposing pieces on the day of. Between our first meet up and the wedding, she communicated well. On the day of (late october at humphrey's half moon inn), Tess and her team showed up early, delivered everything on time, and set-up the areas beautifully! I had ordered flowers for the ceremony arch, centerpieces, groomsmen boutonnieres, bridemaids bouquets, my bouquet, and a open style lei for my husband. Everything was as discussed! The flowers were beautiful, fresh, smelled great, and lasted the whole day. She made the process seamless from beginning to end. I would work with Tess again in a heartbeat and have already recommended her to friends! (originally posted as a google review)

rk and follow through. Also, not to mention the great price they offer their excellent services. I completely recommend them!

transfer our flowers between venues without me even noticing! I am in love with sunflowers and Tess and I instantly connected. She was able to completely capture my vision and make it a reality. She was so sweet and went above and beyond to make sure our flowers were perfect. Her team never made me feel bad about changing my mind on things, and were able to work with my busy schedule. They are so professional and easy to work with, I would highly recommend them! Tess also helped me stay within budget and had great ideas of how to cut costs without taking away from the look of the day. Thank you for making our wedding so gorgeous!!!
