We searched forever for a florist to match the vision I had for our wedding. Finally finding the Flower Gal was a miracle. Berkeley helped bring what was in my head to life. We had a winter wedding with mostly greenery and she designed the most beautiful arrangements, garlands, and splays. Berkeley made fantastic recommendations, from educating me about how one choice was better than another, to how to save money on nearly identical flowers and greens. It was hard to put trust in somebody with designing my bouquet, but Berkeley listened to what my ideas were and got an understanding of my “vision” and created the most stunning bouquet imaginable. She was the most genuine and helpful person I have ever done business with, in an effort to help save me money we looked at how we could reuse many of the florals from the ceremony for the reception and Berkeley kindly offered to stay and reset the florals during cocktail hour. I cannot express how much appreciation I have for all her efforts, and would recommend her to anyone.
Berkeley was awesome to work with! She was very responsive and provided feedback on my vision to nail down the exact types of flowers that would make it come to life. She is extremely knowledgeable and her work is outstanding. I was so impressed with how everything turned out and how efficient she was with setup/breakdown. Highly recommend!!
Berkeley is incredible!! By far one of my favorite vendors from my wedding! Immediately on our first call, I could tell I was going to love working with her and her craft is beautiful! I was so excited to see our floral vision come to life for our big day and Berkeley exceeded our expectations! She was so wonderful to work with and we can’t thank her enough! We received so many compliments on our flowers by our guests! Hire her immediately!! Thank you Berkeley!
We found Berkeley via our venue's "preferred vendors" list, but we had heard great things of her beforehand. After speaking with her on the phone and seeing her website, I knew she could deliver my vision. I was really impressed by her flexibility. I changed my mind on a few items throughout the year, and she never even blinked. We found out a few days before the wedding that it was going to rain, and we needed to re-evaluate the rain plan. She was able to rearrange what were supposed to be aisle meadows into basically a luscious alter. She then repurposed the meadows to surround our sweetheart table. Her creativity and flexibility were unmatched. I was devastated that the wedding had to be indoors; the ballroom was truly hideous to begin with. But after seeing her creation come together, it was truly magic. She turned a nightmare-ish room into a dream. I am forever in her debt. To top it all off, my mother stole two of her votives, and she really handled the situation with such grace and patience. I would recommend Berkeley to everyone.
Berkeley was amazing from start to finish. She made my vision come to life and it set the tone for the entire wedding. People were raving about the flowers even weeks after our wedding. She also was very transparent about money and always suggested ways we could save here and there on the flowers which was really appreciated and was always mindful of our budget. She was flexible if I changed my mind about something and welcomed my ideas. She was responsive and reliable. I couldn't have asked for a better florist!
I cannot recommend Berkeley enough for wedding florals!! From our first conversation, I knew she was the perfect person to bring my floral vision to life. She asked so many questions, then shared a detailed proposal that was so impressive.
She was super responsive and helpful in the planning process, letting me make some changes and additions to our original plan. Day of, she was extremely flexible and I appreciated it so much. The weather was very unpredictable and Berkeley was able to adapt to ceremony location changes on the fly.
I was completely blown away by all of the florals- and so were my guests. People were constantly coming up to me, complimenting how beautiful our florals were. Guests were able to keep centerpieces and all of them were gone at the end of the night!
If you are looking for wedding florals- look no further. Hire Berkeley!!!
Picking a florist was one of the most important vendor decisions I ended up making during my engagement! Not because I had a specific vision or requirement, but because I needed someone who could help me understand a world which I do not. I know I wanted something very simple with just a few pops of certain colors. With a few conversations and sharing of Pinterest boards, Berkeley INSTANTLY had ideas and knew what we could do, while being understanding of budget and fluctuation of numbers. She was highly flexible throughout the whole process, especially with communicating as the bulk of my time planning with her was while I was on the west coast. Berkeley accommodated a two-location dropoff even though they were far apart, and was even gracious enough to help add beautiful adornment to our seating chart! I only wish I could have spent more time with her on wedding day to get to know her better!
I can't speak more highly of Berkeley at The Flower Gal Co! She was my favorite wedding vendor to work with. She was always responsive, kind, and insanely creative with how to make florals work for our wedding and how to repurpose florals. I had many ideas for my florals from the time I hired Berkeley, and she made the time to talk through all of it and was always thoughtful of my budget. She even came to our venue walk through with supplies so we could talk through the vision of our day. She absolutely knocked our florals out of the park! We had numerous guests comment on how stunning our florals were. Highly recommend hiring Berkeley for your wedding!
Berkeley was absolutely amazing to work with!! I asked so many questions during the planning process and Berkeley responded quickly each time with such professionalism and kindness. She made changes to the floral proposal based on my feedback and really delivered the most beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony arrangements than I ever could have imagined. I had a budget I needed to stick to and Berkeley was so helpful in suggesting some cost-effective options without compromising the quality of her work. She really went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was special. If you are considering hiring Berkeley, do it! You won't regret it!
I could not recommend Berkeley and the FlowerGal Co. enough!!! Our wedding florals turned out absolutely beautifully and were exactly what I had envisioned. Berkeley also did our table centerpieces and they were a dream come true. Florals aside, Berkeley was also such a joy to work with! From our very first phone call until meeting the day of the wedding, Berkeley, was kind, positive and always responsive! Thank you so much, Berkeley!
Berkeley is an amazing florist!! She made table arrangements, bouquets, arch decorations and more for our wedding last month and they were all absolutely beautiful! I couldn’t have asked for more perfect floral arrangements. We received numerous compliments on the flowers from our wedding guests. I would 100% recommend Berkeley to anyone looking for their wedding florist!
I can't begin to explain how incredible the flowers were at my wedding. From the beginning Berkeley was the only florist I spoke to who took the time to create a full proposal with specific flowers instead of just pictures. I told her I wanted all these different colors, and just let her run with it. She truly went above and beyond. Everyone at the wedding couldn't stop talking about the flowers. There were blues, purples, pinks, oranges, and it all looked so perfectly cohesive. She is an ARTIST.
Berkeley is hands down one of the best florists I have worked with as a planner. She literally brought our client's vision to life and exceeded her expectations. She came up with an entire rain plan for the florals aka an entirely different set up, and it didn't feel like an after thought and was probably more gorgeous than the initial plan would have been! Bonus, she cares about wedding and floral waste and tries to limit where all possible. Look no further than The FlowerGal Co for your wedding floral needs!!
I instantly loved Berkeley from our very first phone call. She understood not only my vision but my budget and was very knowledgeable about how to make those two work together! She was so helpful throughout my entire wedding planning process. She would check in to make sure I was doing okay and to see how she could help. She came to my venue walk through and we did a sample centerpiece so we could make any changes needed, while this was fabulous because I got to meet her before the wedding and have flowers to put around the house after we were done it, wasn't needed because she is so incredibly talented and I loved everything!! She was also so patient as I made last minute changes to my bouquet after spending too much time on Pinterest! I got so many compliments on my florals and I loved them so much I sent my bouquet and centerpiece off to be preserved. I'm so disappointed that my wedding planning with Berkeley is over! She is a true gem & artist!
From start to finish, Berkeley was such a pleasure to work with and I couldn’t imagine having anyone else do my wedding flowers. The flowers were absolutely STUNNING, from the little sprigs of eucalyptus to the beautiful colors and all the incredible greenery, her work absolutely blew me away. Everything was so much prettier than I could have ever imagined, and I feel like she really captured the timeless feel I was going for.
I was so in love with my bouquet, I’m having some of those flowers preserved into resin block-art so we have a couple of keepsakes from our day. We got so many compliments from our friends and family about how gorgeous the flowers were, especially the panda anemones! I had several people ask me about those specifically.
I could go on and on but seriously I feel so blessed that I had the privilege to work with Berkeley. Our day couldn’t have gone any better. Not only is she an expert in her craft but she was by far the easiest person to work with, which says a lot coming from a crazy type A bride like me. She was amazing!!
Berkeley, I want to send a HUGE thank you for the beautiful greenery at our wedding. It was all PERFECT! I absolutely loved the bouquets, the centerpieces (the trees were amazing!!), the planters looked beautiful at the altar, and I was obsessed with the hanging chandelier installation. You brought my vision alive and I am so grateful for your detail, thoroughness, communication, and can-do attitude throughout the planning process. I can't thank you enough for your hard work and making our wedding even more wonderful than I imagined it could be.
We kept many pieces of the greenery for keepsakes and then actually donated the rest to a senior living home for others to enjoy and they loved it just as much! It was a beautiful brightening to their environment.
Thank you again so much for going above and beyond - it was truly perfect and exceeded my expectations. Please know that I would refer your professional services to all friends/family or anyone looking for a florist who they can trust and have an easy relationship with.
Berkeley is amazing!! She was always very responsive and did an incredible job with all of the flowers for our wedding. I don't know much about flowers and only gave her a few pictures off of my Pinterest board. She helped us stick to our budget and perfectly executed our vision. The flowers were BEAUTIFUL and exceeded all of my expectations. I especially loved the hexagon arch that she created for our ceremony. I highly recommend TheFlowerGal Co. for your wedding!!
My husband and I are SO happy we chose The FlowerGal Co. to provide the florals for our wedding. Berkeley was wonderful to work with. She was always responsive and polite. Aside from her being wonderful to communicate and work with, the flowers at our wedding were stunning. She provided the bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, archway florals, aisle florals, etc. and we wouldn't have changed a thing. She perfectly executed our vision. We highly recommend The FlowerGirl Co.
Berkeley did an incredible job with the florals for my October 23rd Fall wedding. The colors and different textures of greenery were exactly what I had envisioned. She truly followed through on my romantic and natural, but styled look, I was going for.
She made the ceremony mountain backdrop look even more picturesque with the florals on our wooden arch! Her talented work pulled the whole vision together perfectly. Can’t say enough great things!
Berkeley is the BEST! From the start she was so communicative and answered all of my questions. She was incredibly flexible when I was indecisive and truly brought the entire day together with her florals. Once I shared the colors and a few inspo pics, she had everything she needed to create the plan and it was beautiful. Not only were the florals amazing, but she was so accommodating and helpful when we had to wait and see if the rain would move us inside for the ceremony that she started doing all the setup she could in her van, and then when we made the last minute decision to move the ceremony inside (which we never planned to do), she made the space beautiful and took all my stress away. She was recommended to me by a close friend, and I would recommend her to anyone as well!
Berkeley was so easy and helpful to work with to pick my wedding flowers. I had trouble finding a florist since everyone was booked with makeup weddings from COVID and I know Berkeley was busy too, but she still took on my wedding! We talked on the phone so she knew what I wanted and put together a clear proposal with pictures. On the wedding day, she had everything dropped off and in its place. The flowers looked beautiful and were just what we had talked about! I would highly recommend working with Berkely for your wedding!
Berkeley was amazing to work with. She was thorough, worked within our budget and delivered truly stunning work. We had great communication and she worked well with the venue owner, which was a huge help. Flowers were the main decor of the wedding and she knocked it out of the park. Strongly recommend her services!
Berkeley is the best! She was one of my favorite vendors to communicate with, she's so happy and easy to work with. I'm not a floral lover but she was so responsive and very helpful when it came to my picky wants. Everything turned out beautiful the day-of. There was some miscommunication between vendors day-of, but Berkeley was quick to make it right once aware of the confusion. She even came to our house and picked up our flower girl basket to assemble the arrangement in so it would be all set come wedding day. For me, it was all about ease when it came to working with wedding vendors, and that was definitely my experience with Berkeley!
The FlowerGal Co. was the best decision we made for our wedding! I am a bit clueless when it comes to flowers, but Berkeley was able to have a quick discussion about what we were looking for and put together a whole coordinated look for our wedding party and reception. She was professional and easy to communicate with when we had questions or needed to make changes here and there. Berkeley shared photos of what our flowers would look like, but being 100% honest, nothing prepared us for how absolutely amazing the flowers looked the day of. From the corsages to boutonnieres to table centerpieces, it all just looked so great. She was even able to bring in a bluish color to match our suits in one of the flowers which was really unique. We had so many compliments on them throughout the evening. We definitely recommend The FlowerGal Co. to anyone who is looking for a florist for any occasion. You won’t be disappointed!
I was looking for a florist that could bring my vision to life with my very limited knowledge of flowers but clear idea for how I wanted it all to look. Berkeley's execution went far and beyond anything I could have ever imagined, I was in awe of what she put together. Berkeley was very professional and friendly. She kept me up-to-date on how things were going and was VERY easy to get into contact with and always responded promptly. As I got closer to the wedding date I sent Berkeley a string of haphazard emails and she went out of her way to set up a phone call to make sure she hadn't missed anything (she hadn't!), I really appreciated that. I would recommend The FlowerGal, Berkeley, to anyone (and did to my best friend who recently booked her!). She has very fair prices and goes above and beyond, I loved every minute of working with her!
We absolutely loved working with Berkeley! From the start she was easy to work with and a delight. We had a initial call to go over my vision. She asked about colors, specific flowers, budget and lots of other questions I didn't realize I needed to think about. She was super easy to communicate with throughout the process. When a flower I wanted included in my bouquet to honor my late grandmother wasn't available with her supplier, she was quick to be solutions oriented with other ways we could honor her. She was also flexible and allowed me to make the flower crown for the flower girl myself as a special gift to my new niece. I was blown away by how she captured my vision and my flowers were a favorite part of my wedding day. I even took my bridal bouquet with me on our honeymoon because I wanted to enjoy every last minute of their beauty. I cant recommend The FlowerGal Co. enough. Thank you, Berkeley!!
Berkeley is so talented and a delight to work with. I really did not have a clear vision of what I wanted for our wedding florals, and she listened to what I liked and didn’t, and helped me bring it to life! We did not meet in person until the day of our wedding, but I knew what things would look like because of the many pictures she’d send me and even the reference guide of the various florals she’d used. This was SO helpful for me! She was incredibly respectful of our budget, never pushing us over it, and offering many options which let us stretch our budget a little further—reusing certain florals and centerpieces, selecting beautiful flowers that fit our color scheme but weren’t the most expensive, etc. All that being said, you could never imagine our florals were “on a budget” because they were lush, bright, and stunning. At the last minute, our centerpiece plan had to change because I did not know my venue wouldn’t allow candles. Understanding it was close to the wedding and stress was high, she so generously offered to lend me some flameless candles that I could give back to her at a later date—no extra charge. This was so kind, and so helpful. When it came time to return them, I hoped to bring them to her, but she made it even easier by coming to me to pick them up! Berkeley is reasonable, kind, patient, and incredibly talented. I remarked so many times to my (now) husband about how she was the best vendor we worked with and how crazy it was we'd never met because all our interactions felt like talking to a friend. Hire her!!!!!
Berkeley is such a joy to work with! She truly loves what she does and understands what your vision is, and creates such beautiful floral arrangements that fit your budget! What I loved most about working with FlowerGal Co was not only the stunning bouquets and arrangements, but how personal they make your special day. They truly make you feel like family.
Berkeley from The FlowerGal Co is AMAZING. I know nothing about flowers and have a hard time setting any kind of creative "vision" on my own, but Berkeley guided me every step of the way and ended up giving us exactly what we wanted on our big day. The florals were stunning. She is super creative, responsive, and hands-down one of the sweetest people I've ever met. Not only did I enjoy working with her throughout the wedding planning process, but I had multiple vendors who hadn't worked with her before our wedding tell me separately how much *they* loved working with her. She worked within my budget and was realistic about what my allotted amount could get me, she got strategic about how I could stretch my budget or cut back in certain ways to achieve the look I wanted, etc. I truly can't say enough good things -- highly, highly recommend! Thank you for making our special day so beautiful, Berkeley... we appreciate you!!
Berkeley was fantastic! From the beginning, she was friendly, professional, and helpful. She worked with our budget and made lots of things optional so we could work with the prices. We had to change venues about a month before our wedding date, and she was flexible and moved with us! The flowers were GORGEOUS. I'm very indecisive and wasn't super set on a color scheme, but Berkeley was really helpful and gave me lots of options. With her expertise, she created the most beautiful bouquets for me and my bridesmaids! I was so happy with how they looked, and I think they complemented my dress, the venue, and the overall look PERFECTLY. I cannot recommend The FlowerGal Co. enough!
Omg her floral arrangements were absolutely beautiful. I was soo obsessed with my bouquet and the sweet heart table arrangement she made. I asked her to do a dozen roses with baby’s breath for our memorial table. She even provided a beautiful gold vase and the arrangement looked stunning. THANK YOU
Berkeley is STUNNING. I can not stress this enough - there is no where else to go for florals. Her work is beautiful, timeless, and she is so responsive. I never worried or had a single question about whether or not my flowers would be great. Communication was flawless. I was not kept in the dark about anything. We made changes to my contract up to a week prior. She’s that flexible and amazing.
She’s the girl for your big day. Or for literally any occasion.
Berkeley was so great to work with and the floral arrangements were beautiful! We were married in a winery that already had so much character to it so the main decoration we wanted to use was our flowers and her arrangements were just perfect. She even tracked down a specialty teal/blueish color of flower for one of our arrangements to help match our color scheme. She also helped me bring more of my fathers spirit to the event by making my bouquet in such a way so that we could attach a few charms, and made a memorial arrangement with his favorite flowers. I highly recommend working with her!
Berkeley was incredible to work with and so patient with me as details kept changing due to our "COVID wedding". She went above and beyond to suggest and test modifications to hide the social distancing measures put in place at the church (*cough-cough*bright yellow aisle numbers and blue ribbon blocking of pews). She even provided different price points for multiple items so that I could tailor my look to fit my budget. My cascading bouquet was beyond my expectations and the way she was able to tie together the ceremony and reception venue with the arrangements was flawless! I even caught my dad taking photos of the aisle decor that was relocated to the reception! Use Berkeley and I promise you won't be disappointed!!!
Berkeley was friendly, helpful and created the absolute bouquet of my dreams. I wanted something that was bridal yet incorporated some more moody fall colors. She looked at my pinterest board and created the perfect bouquet. She also made a beautiful garland for our head table and provided eucalyptus for accents and decorations. I highly recommend this vendor! She was also very transparent about pricing! So grateful I found FlowerGal!
Berkeley did a beautiful job with our wedding party flowers. We discussed what we wanted and she created exactly that. During the planning she was easy to communicate with and get a hold of. No issues on the day of delivery.
Berkeley was amazing to work with! From our first phone interview until the day of the wedding, Berkeley was supportive, honest, and super helpful! She made my floral dreams come to life and then some! She put a lot of time and effort into making sure everything looked perfect! She was so enjoyable to work with!
Berkeley was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish! She created a stunning cascading bouquet and matching boutonniere for our elopement, and we could not have been more pleased. She communicated with us frequently and responded quickly, which was so appreciated. Berkeley truly went above and beyond, and we cannot wait to work with The FlowerGal Co again in the future!
Berkeley and her GORGEOUS floral arrangements were hands-down one of the best aspects of my wedding. Berkeley goes above and beyond the typical vendor – checking in with us frequently not only about the flowers but also in general as we navigated wedding planning during COVID. Both the bridesmaid bouquets and our table centerpieces looked like they came straight off of my dream pinterest board. Even several gentlemen at the wedding specifically approached me to rave about the flowers! We were able to get special requested items such as a garland made of greenery, fresh greenery for our cake and a beautiful arrangement as the backdrop of our ceremony. Berkeley is extremely talented in her craft, has amazing taste and she is someone you will feel great about trusting with your big day! I will never forget my special flowers or the fantastic service that was provided.
I could not have been happier with the arrangements that The FlowerGal created for our wedding! Berkeley really listened to what I was looking for and brought it to life. She identified the flowers in the photos I brought and provided alternate suggestions for blossoms that were not in season or not in my budget. There is no other local floral designer with a better value or more personalized service. The final product was beautiful in person and in photos
Berkeley is a true artist! She added incredible color to our special day with beautiful bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres. I sent her some ideas for what I had in mind, and she added to and expanded my ideas by sending some of her visions along. We included black centered anemones, per her suggestion, which were super cool and unique. My bridesmaids commented that their bouquets were prettier than the ones they had as a bride on their wedding days! My bouquet was perfect - exactly as I imagined. And she included two mementos of loved ones who have passed away, to make it even more special. She was easy to work with throughout the process and offered the best pricing of any local florist I spoke with. Talented, friendly, and professional.
Not only did Berkeley listen to what I wanted for my special day, but she helped me figure out what was in season and within our budget. She suggested alternative flowers that would save us money but keep with my theme and color scheme. The flowers were beautiful and fresh and honestly, one of the few things during our wedding that went without a hiccup!
Berkeley was so helpful in bringing my vision to life. Knowing nothing about flowers, I look at some pinterest boards and explained my vision and she made it become a reality. Everyone was talking about how beautiful my bouquet's looked, the flower arch, the greenery across the whole venue, and she even put flowers on my dogs leash since she was the flower girl. Not only were the flowers beautiful but she made it so easy and stress free the entire time, that I walked into my wedding and everything was set up and stunning. I would recommend over and over again!
