Sophie put together a lovely free quote for my wedding florals back in the Fall/Winter of 2019. My husband and I proceeded with an $800+ deposit/down payment, and thereafter had one 15 min video conversation with that didn't reveal anything new beyond the details stated in our quote. Only 2 months after contracting Sophie we needed to cancel due to a venue change and requested a deposit refund from her. Sophie declined, reciting the a contract clause "to ensure she get paid for the large amount designing and planning that she does in the early stages of the process." While I understand that florists (small business owners in general) need to cover their back, I thought it ridiculous to claim our $800, stating a large time investment on her part, when there was quite literally no planning nor updates that had happened beyond the initial free quote. It felt like a total money grab.
So happy I went with Sophie for my wedding florals. I can’t tell you how many compliments I got on the flowers - truly, a vision. Unique, lovely, personal. She was a joy to work with and made my vision come to life!
Sophie was so wonderful to work with, and her work is truly beautiful!! Seeing our floral dreams come true on the day of was one of my most favorite parts of our wedding day, and I could not have asked for anything more! Sophie was recommended to us by another florist, and I 100% would recommend booking with Sophie for any event, and trusting her to put together the most gorgeous flowers!
Where do I even begin? As a wedding vendor myself I have worked with a lot of florists. Sophie was hands down the best ever. She was quick to always answer our questions, worked with us on our budget and delivered above and beyond! She took my vision and went to the moon! The flowers were one of my favorite parts of the day, so much so the day after the wedding I sent them off to have them preserved. Stop shopping for florists right now and hire Sophie!
Stunning arrangements! Sophie was a pleasure to work with, and designs unique, lively bouquets and centerpieces. She took inspiration from our wedding venue - the Botanical Garden - and created outstanding pieces that reflected the tropical setting. I loved the textures and greenery from all angles in our photos. Highly recommend.
Sophie did an amazing job!! One of the things I loved about her was I really didn’t have to give her much direction, I show her a few pictures of what we wanted and she created exactly what We wanted. She is such a calming presence and so sweet! Highly recommend her!
Flowers were beautiful. She was especially helpful for working with our budget, special requests, changes, and very responsive. I like that she calls to run over everything a couple weeks before the wedding! She even helped us order some flowers and greenery for us to put together. Very sweet and dependable!!
I can’t even begin to describe how beautiful my flowers were! The most professional and kind person I have ever met! I can’t recommend her more.
I couldn’t be happier with the way my florals looked at my wedding. Working with Sophie was such a pleasure to achieve my vision. She is extremely talented at hearing what you want and delivering. Her work is top notch and great quality. I received so many compliments at my wedding for my florals.
Sophie came to our home to teach a floral class, it was so much fun! The class was about 6 months ago but our family still talks about how much they enjoyed themselves. We gave her a few inspiration pictures and the flowers she brought/the arrangement she taught us to make was exactly what we pictured. She was a lovely teacher and the class was the perfect pre wedding event.
Sophie was my favorite vendor and the florals were probably our favorite part of our wedding. My mother even kept talking about the florals after the wedding (along with some of my other friends/guests!) and she's a hard picky critic.
Sophie totally nailed it. Her floral designs were exactly what we discussed and more. She was punctual, flexible, has wonderful taste, so sweet and communicative. I'd recommend her to everyone. So much love for her and her work.
Thank you again Sophie!
Sophie could not have done a more wonderful job on the florals for my wedding in March. Sophie created two different large installations, a 2-piece arch way for the ceremony that was later moved to the head table and a wall installation of scattered hanging flowers that made a normally blank wall a focal point of the reception. She did this along with long table center pieces and a variety of other arrangements. My bouquet incorporated all my hopes and was elevated by Sophie's talent and artistic touch. From the beginning of the process to the end, Sophie was communicative, open, and a pleasure to work with. The florals continue to be talked about by our guests.
Sophie was incredible, and such a joy to work with on our November wedding. From our initial call sorting out the direction I wanted to go in, to seamless drop-off and set up on the day of, she was amazing. She was super responsive, and easygoing with design changes and sourcing a last-minute traditional lei for my Hawaiian husband to wear, and created beautiful bouquets for myself and the bridal party. Everything was exactly as I pictured it, and I cannot recommend Sophie enough!
Sophie did the flowers for my wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with the results! I had no plan at all, other than knowing I wanted roses and giving Sophie a vague approximation of the colors I wanted. Sophie discussed my vision with me, asked insightful questions, brainstormed with me, and had tons of ideas. She found native accents and greens to add to the roses to make my bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and floral arrangements truly beautiful and unique. She created the exact look and feel that I imagined.
We had Sibyl Sophia Floral Design do our wedding flowers...and I can honestly say I am so so grateful we found them. For our wedding, I worked with Sophie specifically on what we wanted. I'm honestly horrible at describing or even knowing what I want, but she was able to understand my vision and made it a reality.
We first sat down and she asked what I was looking for. I told her my (limited) ideas, the colors I wanted, and the feel of the wedding I was going for (nature-y and ethereal). She took notes on all the different arrangements I wanted and made her own brainstorm into reality. She even made a Pinterest board for us! We would talk here and there up until the wedding. Every interaction was pleasant and WITHOUT stress (brides, you know how important that is).
I am so glad I put my trust into this company and more specifically, Sophie. She went above and beyond. She took all my thoughts and arranged them into beautiful bursts of color and style. She nailed it down to the very flower. She also made the wreath for my "floral crown" and honestly, this was my favorite part. I briefly described what I wanted and she made my dreams come true. I still have the wreath hanging above our bed because it was so perfect.
We had them do:
-Wreath
-Decoration flowers on bridges and gates
-Flowers along the tables
-Flowers on the tree we got married under
-Flowers for the bride and bridesmaid (and ring bearer who was our dog!)
I cannot express how happy I was with the whole process--the discussion, brainstorm, execution, and finally, the flowers! She made our special day ten times more special because of the dashes of color and beauty she was able to add. Everyone was fawning and adoring the flowers and arrangements. I didn't have to worry about flowers at all on the day, she made it work!
Thank you, Sophie, for making our wedding day amazing!
Sophie was awesome throughout the entire experience. Our wedding was a little over a month ago, in mid-September. We had a very particular vision in mind, and she executed on it perfectly. Everything was on point. We had a few last minute additions in the couple of weeks leading up to the wedding and Sophie was happy to accommodate and adapt the floral design to meet our wishes. Highly recommend!!
I got married this past April and was fortunate to have my flowers done by Sibyl Sophia Floral Design. Sophie is a real master of her craft. I came to her with a not-fully-formed vision of what I wanted and what she executed was truly spectacular. She is incredibly creative, skilled and was great to work with. You can tell she loves what she does and it makes all the difference.
I got married in May of this year and my guests and I still cannot stop gushing about my bridal bouquet and alter piece Sophie created for our wedding. I was on a specific budget and she worked with me to find what would be the best options to highlight our venue. Not only is she kind and delightful to work with but she makes swoon-worthy floral arrangements. My wedding pictures truly popped with the vibrant coral peonies, soft pinky peach roses, and eucalyptus greens. She really made my vision an even better reality.
Truly beautiful perfection! After being fairly unenthusiastic about flowers, I could not imagine my wedding without Sophie's modern, lush, botanical arrangements. Not only did she make just flat out stunning florals, she utilized unique and lush plants and blooms to make one of a kind arrangements. The reception arrangements made our outdoor dinner feel like a midsummer night's eve, our birch wood chuppah was delicately adorned with a gentle cascade of botanicals and blossoms, and my bouquet, something I was terrified of feeling either oversized or outdated, felt modern and balanced in my hands. I loved it so much I kept it by my bed for a week in water, where it remained beautifully in tact! Sophie's florals felt organic to the space, always enhancing the beauty of the space and mood.
And my favorite part of working with Sophie was how great Sophie was! She is truly an awesome human being. And was always super quick to respond to any questions or requests we had. She was collaborative, and never pushed us to do things unnecessarily, as so many vendors can. Instead she would always offer us innovative solutions and options and then help work with us to find something that worked best for our day! We loved her, and could not recommend her highly enough!
Sophie was great to work with! I met with her in person for a consultation and I immediately knew that she was the person for the job. I was up front about our budget for florals and she was able to work with it. I did not know much about florals and only had a general idea of the kind of vibe I was looking for. Sophie was able to take my vague vision for florals and turn it into a rustic masterpiece. She was even flexible enough to help put together a last minute escort board garland, which turned out to be a hit! Sophie was super quick to reply to any questions and changes that I requested. She was also very organized. Sophie is truly an artist!
Sophie is honestly a floral genius and was so easy to work with. I originally didn't want to do flowers at all because I was trying to keep wedding costs low and our venue (Madera Kitchen) has so much greenery around already but my coordinator and mom convinced me to do something for the dinner tables, so they didn't look too bare. Sophie created the perfect mix of succulents, greenery and flowers and it was absolutely gorgeous. My guests were obsessed and they were insanely thrilled to be able to take the succulents and centerpieces home afterwards as wedding favors. Sophie also provided some cake decorations that looked amazing. I highly recommend working with Sophie!
AH! I'm still smiling thinking about my amazing bouquet and all of the floral wonder Sophie made happen at our wedding! She was such a pleasure to work with from the very beginning, even providing helpful suggestions on how to bring the cost down on certain items. I let her know my vision, likes, and dislikes, and she totally ran with it! I loved everything she did, from my hair piece to the hanging tree garland she created. She's artistic and talented and is totally worth every penny!
Sophie was amazing!! We got married in October this year and as a bride, I was so nervous about the flowers bc I am not familiar with flowers (at all). I am SOOOO thankful I found Sophie because all I had to do was share a few pictures of "ideas/design", my budget, and style of the wedding and she followed up within a day or two with gorgeous design ideas and believe it or not - under my budget! Sophie is truly wonderful!
