Velvet Blooms

ere is a clause that explains if you would like to keep your flowers that are being held in the rented vases you need to put that in writing and hand to her. For a bride that is overwhelmed with all wedding related planning, I was disappointed that this clause was not brought to my attention throughout the flower planning process. Otherwise sadly, you are renting your flowers for the event.

ything I had ever dreamed of.

postpone she made the process simple and was so understanding. We decide to have a small wedding this year with a big reception in 2022, and she revised our contracts to make both happen, and we are so glad she did. The florals for our wedding this year were breathtaking. The arch we got married under was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen and she completely captured my vision for everything. I am SO excited to get to work with her next year because I know that it will be just as stunning as it was this year. I would recommend Rachel 10 times out of 10. Her and her team are truly artists and make magic out of buckets of flowers.

took the time to help me understand how to pick wedding decor/what my own vision was. Talking to her helped me figure out what I wanted and didn’t want, and her vision board that she created after our conversation really became a staple tool I used to plan the rest of the decor for the day! She was so patient with my incessant emails and questions, and never made me feel like a crazy bride—though I’m sure I was! Finally, the finished product was absolutely breathtaking. I still get complements on my bouquet, with so many guests saying it was the most beautiful bridal bouquet they have ever seen! Rachel and her team are true artists and make this process as easy and fun as possible. I highly recommend Velvet Blooms!

She integrated my vision with her unique aesthetic and completely surpassed every expectation! I highly recommend Velvet Blooms, she was a pleasure to work with from start to finish!

eate the colorful, bohemian aesthetic I was looking for. Rachel was awesome to collaborate with. She ran with my vision from Pinterest and was able to match it perfectly, and gave wonderful suggestions on the presentation of our flower arch and sweetheart table. I would absolutely recommend Velvet Blooms to anyone looking for a kind and talented floral designer.

her perfectly. I love flowers so they were an important detail to me and she nailed it!! We heard from all our guests just how beautiful and magical everything was. We are so grateful for her work and detail, I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

locked it down and secured it without compromising it's beauty! As a photographer, I can only hope to work with florists that are kind, talented, and quick thinking when it comes to problem solving. Rachel was all of the above and I hope to work with her again at all my weddings! -Tida Svy

lf!! But the main thing- the flowers were INSANE!!! So so so incredible. Honestly I couldn't have even imagined what she did. We kind of gave them a general direction and a mood board, and she really just went above and beyond. I wish I could attach a photo- when I first saw the bouquets I cried! I didn't even realize they were for me, because they just seemed too beautiful. She also designed this insanely gorgeous back wall vine-piece for our reception which set the vibe and made the room come alive!! Our planner messed up and gave the wrong person a boutonniere so my dad was left without one- Rachel made one on the fly for us for my dad, so that he didn't even notice!! Our floral budget was pretty slim compared to what some people spend on flowers, and they really helped us find the best route to go so that our wedding looked lush and magical despite that. While we were working together before the wedding, Rachel was always available by email, text, etc, and was so so so so helpful with everything. She even offered to come pick up our vases half way so we didn't have to drive to her (she lives an hour and a half away from us.) Our actual wedding was in Palm Springs, and somehow she got all of the florals there without anything looking sad or wilted. It was absolute perfection. All of it. Honestly I don't have one single complaint about them!! There is no room for improvement at all. The wedding looked unbelievable, the bouquets/arch decorations/literally everything floral was BANANAS, and I also want to hang out with Rachel now too because she was so cool!!! I realllllly could not recommend Velvet Blooms enough. Best best best best best EVER!!!!

enue with me in person. Her command of colors and textures exceeded my highest expectations. It's not a competition, but I had to the most beautiful florals of any wedding that I've ever been to. Thank you Rachel!

outdoor space. Our guests raved about her flower arch and the unique use of color and texture that tied our design together. Our wedding presented several unique challenges, and she never pushed back or complained. We added several tables last minute, and she was very prompt updating our account and design. Our venue was very small, so she had to turn over the ceremony area into dining area during our cocktail hour. She crushed it! It was an amazing wedding and we can't imagine what it would be like without her.

yond our expectations! Rachel responded quickly to any of our emails throughout the process which made her super easy and fun to work with. Would highly recommend!

ding were our way of incorporating her presence into the day. Rachel was incredibly respectful of this and created beautiful planter boxes filled with flowers my mom grew in her garden that were put at the end of the aisle. She also put a single iris, my mom's favorite flower, into my wedding bouquet, which was such a beautiful touch. The flowers she incorporated into the pergola made for the most gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony. We got dozens of compliments on our flowers from guests and we were incredibly happy with how they turned out. Rachel was professional, thoughtful, timely and fair in her pricing, and an absolute joy to work with. We cannot recommend her highly enough! ~Meghan & Dan

day. From the bouquet to the floral arrangements everything was perfect. Rachel was always responsive and so easy to work with. She really made the day beautiful and could not be happier with how everything turned out.

rried I wouldn't be able to find the right fit or be able to get what I wanted. Rachel is extremely talented, kind, and loves what she does. She met with me in person as well as phone/email communication to ensure everything was done perfectly. Thank you Rachel for making my flower dreams come true!

he walked me through each step and graciously revised my order roughly 1000 times all the way up until 3 weeks before the wedding. Rachel is EXTREMELY talented as well as very kind and patient. We could not have been any more pleased with the results, and were honored to have the Velvet Blooms team as a part of our special day.

asy for us and created exactly what we envisioned with ease and little work on our part.

l!

wn to earth and wonderful as a human being, which is a plus). Our flowers turned out absolutely stunning and everything I ever wanted!!!! I got so many compliments on our blooms. Highly recommend!

bsolutely perfect!!!

ad! Absolutely stunning!! She made every vision come to life and if we did it all over again we would definitely choose Rachel again! Xoxo Taylor and Danny Irving

already drafted an I copied but worked with me and and sent another one, over the planning process we went thought about 5 invoices lol. She was always so polite. Not only was she polite she was willing and excited to help me make the adjustments I needed so that the flowers were everything I wanted. I never felt like I was annoying or inconveniencing her when I would contact her about a question. The day of the wedding I was blown away by how perfect everything looked - and so were my guests! My bouquet was STUNNING. my centerpieces were breathtaking. I really can’t say enough good things about her. I got so lucky and if you’re thinking about who to hire I would absolutely recommend velvet blooms!

so budget-conscious and so fun to work with on making our wedding happen. Rachel was key to us even having our wedding after our original venue pulled out with less than 36 hours to find a new location (due to wildfires). She is so thoughtful and kind and you will love working with her. Our bridal party also loved working with her and the bouquets and decor that she created was beyond perfect. I would hire her again and again to let her creative juices flow.

lowers were one of my favorite parts of my wedding, and my bouquet was absolutely stunning. My family and friends all commented on the beautiful arrangements. On the day of the wedding Rachel was on time and professional. Her prices are very reasonable, and she was very conscious about working within my budget. I would absolutely hire Velvet Blooms again. Rachel is AMAZING!

I had in mind. My vision changed a few times and she was super flexible and helpful with guiding me to exactly what I was looking for. On the day of my wedding, I was absolutely shocked when I saw all of the beautiful floral arrangements. Everything was exactly what I had visioned and more! And my bouquet was beyond stunning. I would recommend Rachel to anyone planning a wedding. Hiring Rachel for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made.

away by her executing exactly on what I was thinking, but my bridesmaids were also in awe and were taking pictures to have for their future inspiration. HIGHLY recommend!!!

ncredibly grateful for her as a person, her beautiful work and attention to detail both on our wedding and every minute leading up to it. I give my highest recommendation for Velvet Blooms for your special event.

ails quickly, and always had a very positive tone. We wanted to waste as little as possible, so Rachel had the great idea to pot a bunch of succulents and cacti, allowing our guests to take them home at the end of the night. Everyone loved picking them out, and they made our venue even more beautiful than it already was. Her arrangements were beautiful, and she was a total pleasure to work with. Thank you Rachel!!

l as three flower crowns, and a flower collar for my pup! She also made two arrangements for the aisle as well as a small arrangement for another table, all for a completely fair price. I’m so sad flowers don’t last forever, because if they did I’d have kept them all to display all over my house. Wonderful work!

a graduation party, a styled shoot, and a bridal show. No matter how big or small the event she put her all into the florals. She is easy to work with and responds quickly which is something that is very important to me! You can’t go wrong with hiring Rachel!

ommend Rachel and Velvet Blooms enough!

worried about how they will come out as it's not too common to make them with succulents, but we were so amazed with joy when they were delivered to us on the day of. Everything was so beautifully put together and was perfect. Rachel from Velvet Blooms is such a sweet lady, she was very patient and understanding with my very detailed order, and she went over and beyond to make my dream bouquet and crown. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends who are looking for flowers for their special day.

etheart table was absolutely stunning and exactly what I had hoped for. Our Ceremony area and especially our arch was perfect! Rachel was so easy and great to work with and very professional. She even stayed for the whole night and re-purposed our flowers from the ceremony to the reception area and made sure everything looked great. I can't say enough about her professionalism, attention to detail and amazing work. Thank you so much again Rachel!

quote of $4,000 (which I could not afford since I was on a tight budget) Rachel worked well within my budget and offered me probably 5 different price quotes since things kept changing... best part, I didn't drive her crazy even when I was bridezilla. It has been 2 months since my wedding and people are STILL talking about my bouquet. It is such an amazing experience to work with someone who actually truly loves the thing that they do. I cannot recommend her enough, especially for brides who don't truly understand flowers (I literally just gave her a color scheme)

pful and understanding as we tried to design the perfect bouquet for my friend Alina! She definitely listened to what I wanted for the bride and stepped in with her knowledge and expertise when appropriate! She delivered the bouquet herself and was so lovely in person too. The style of the bouquet was a surprise for the bride, Alina and she LOVED it! The absolutely stunning bouquet fit perfectly with her, her dress and the vibe of the whole wedding. Plus Steve also LOVED his boutonniere, which was such a nice matching touch! Everyone commented on how gorgeous the bouquet was and it came out beautifully in photos! Thanks again Rachel!

y bouquet, she was incredibly helpful and provided recommendations on florals for the rest of the wedding decor. Fast forward a few days and I realised that I would truly be in the best hands with her taking care of all the arrangements and allowing me to focus on family time. The moment she presented me with my bridal bouquet is a moment I will never forget. It was the cherry on top of my wedding day and I was obsessed with it from the first glance. Everyone who sees our wedding pictures compliments the bouquet and I can't wait to find an occasion where I can get some more Velvet Blooms arrangements. Rachel is not only an incredibly sweet and amazing person to work with, her natural talent in florals shines in everything she does. I would recommend Rachel and her team in a heartbeat!
