Whimsey Florals

d the flowers looked fresh. The arch piece was better than I imagined and was repurposed for our sweetheart table which was even more gorgeous up close and elevated the room. Jamie was so easy to communicate with, delivered everything in a timely manner, and incredibly professional. Thanks for adding these lovely touches to our wedding day!

from our wedding guests but the number one thing I heard was “Your florist is amazing”. I STILL have flowers from my center pieces and bouquet all around my house to enjoy!

how to enhance my ideas and make it ten times better. Jaime was always responsive and helpful, and literally blew me away with my florals. I couldn’t be more happy with the end result, I recommend Whimsey florals without a doubt!!

h the flowers down the aisle. She made my dreams come to life and made our day beautiful!

questions and she was extremely sweet, knowledgeable, and patient. We greatly appreciate the time she spend with us during the initial consult which ultimately lead to our decision to work with her. On the big day, Diane and her daughter truly brought our vision to life. We spent so many hours thinking of little details but it ultimately came down to Diane’s talent in putting everything together. She honestly created something more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. I am so thankful for Diane! Our flowers were fresh and vibrant. She was so generous with her work and worked with our budget. Our ceremony flowers, centerpieces, bouquets were so lush, it was unbelievable! Again, I can’t say it enough...completely overwhelmed with the effort and work Diane and her daughter put to make our special day so magical! HIGHLY recommended! A true blessing to work with such a magnificent person. Thank you Diane!

or. She was the only vendor we used that was accommodating for everything we needed and actually pleasant to work with!

out), but she made everything stress-free and easy! She was very responsive and answered any questions that we had. The flowers for our wedding were even more beautiful than I had envisioned and fit our color scheme perfectly! We sent her some inspiration photos and she recreated exactly what we wanted! She went above and beyond! Everything was delivered on time and set-up perfectly! She was also very conscious of budget and never once pressured us into anything! We would highly recommend Whimsey Florals!!!

ugh Pinterest boards and she could name every stem. She gave great advice about what would be in season, what would stay hardy throughout the wedding day, how to meet our budget goals, and what to avoid. The terrariums she made for us were out of this world. Our guests could not stop commenting. I knew she'd "get it right," but I couldn't believe until I got to my venue how much she'd went above and beyond. I could look at the florals forever. My bouquet was perfect. I could not be happier. Thank you, Diane!

d for a good reason! Diane is amazing to work with. When I first met up with Diane, I had an idea of my colors and what type of floral arrangements I wanted/needed. I showed her my pinterest pins and she was able to build off my ideas and suggest flowers and plants that worked so well together. One of the best things about Diane for a bride that is on a budget is that she has beautiful centerpieces and decorations that you can rent -- and they aren't expensive at all! It made wedding planning so much easier not having to worry about buying additional decorations for my place card table, guest book table, gift table, or dessert table. AND she picks the rental pieces back up for you at the end of the night so that is another thing a busy bride doesn't need to worry about :) And of course the price! Diane produces AMAZING work for what she charges. She does not skimp at all. She went above and beyond what I requested and my wedding day turned out absolutely gorgeous because of her amazing floral arrangements. If you do go with Diane, please ask her about Heliotrope for Hospice. They are a company that recycles flowers from events and arranges them so that it is a nice surprise and delight for those at the Hospice. It's completely free and I couldn't think of a better way to brighten someone's day.

my bride bouquet and wedding arch flowers, and beautiful flowers for our wedding party and décor! My mom and I went to multiple florists, and specifically chose Diane due to her family atmosphere, warm welcome, and high level of attention to details. Diane spent ample time with my mom and I, as well as another appointment with my husband and I, to address all of our questions and requests, and was so patient and compassionate. Diane communicated all details, addressed everything as promised and on time, and was also friendly, positive, and made a beautiful assembly for our wedding! Diane and Whimsey Florals gained our trust from the beginning. Diane also had the most creativity to our fairytale theme, twinkle lights, and cascading flowers! Both my husband and I highly recommend Diane and Whimsey Florals for your wedding flowers! All of our guests absolutely loved our wedding décor and flowers (and we had a large wedding party with a lot of special requests). Many thanks to Diane and Whimsey Florals for all of their help, assistance, compassion, high attention to detail, and making such a beautiful array of wedding flowers on the most important day of our lives so special!

d several florists in San Diego (where the wedding was) for quotes and just to get a general sense of their work. Diane and her daughter from Whimsey Floral were AMAZING! Diane responded instantly to my inquiries and started planning. Diane was willing to work with me via email which was so appreciated and helpful. The day of the big day (9/14/18), Diane and her daughter absolutely nailed the wedding florals. I was absolutely amazed and how detail oriented they were and how beautiful everything turned out. So to the Whimsey Florals team, thank you. I can't find the right words to let you know how much we appreciated you guys!

TE vendor by far. After our first meeting, I was struck by how she understood exactly what I wanted with only a few photos that I described as "I kindof want this, but not really that" and a brief conversation about my preferences. She also came up with a few unique ideas and recommended to us what is now our favorite donut shop (VG Donuts!). Thank you Diane! We are so thankful we found you!

uld be in season during our wedding. She knew how to replicate my vision perfectly, while working within my budget. I absolutely loved my flowers!

ely amazing and honestly is the thing I love the most in all the wedding. Everybody complimented me about the flowers. Diane is also a very sweet person that was very flexible to suit our needs. She also has ceremony decorations and candles that made the day even more beautiful. Thank you, Diane!!! I am more than happy with your stunning work.

ons, pricing, etc., and Diane was super knowledgeable about flowers that would work within our budget and would give us the earthy, natural look we were going for at our wedding. She was also way better priced than any other quote I received. When it came to the actual wedding day, her florals took my breath away!! The centerpieces were perfect, my bouquet was gorgeous, and the flower crowns for me and my bridesmaids were exquisite. Everyone kept remarking on how beautiful all the florals were. Not to mention, Diane is super sweet and so easy to work with. Go with Whimsey Florals, you won't be disappointed!

y creative and will work with you to create your wedding floral vision. She made planning our San Diego wedding all the way from Boston so easy. We received so many compliments on our centerpieces and all of the flowers exceeded our expectations! And I have to say...my bouquet was one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen. Thank you Diane for making this process so seamless. We really appreciate all your hard work.

as so spectacular. We had so many compliments after our wedding!!

quets were absolutely gorgeous, my bouquet was so beautiful, the ceremony flowers were perfect and the reception was just gorgeous. The arrangements were absolutely stunning and really helped to bring everything together in the ballroom. Diane was so easy to work with. She and I met a few times to go over everything and she offered excellent advice on seasonal beautiful flowers in my budget. She also had great ideas for our centerpieces and was so thrilled with how everything turned out. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, a day that will forever be special, and Whimsey Florals was a huge part of that beauty. We were so glad they were a part of our day!

ok beautiful. I definitely had a budget and she was able to work within it and offer suggestions. Never once did she try to make me spend extra money. My wedding was a little difficult because I had a mixed gender bridal party. Through great communication we got all the ribbon colors, bouquets and boutonnière's to coordinate and create a seamless flow. I used colors and photos to give her the theme I was looking for and she matched it. My bouquet came out beautiful along with the eleven centerpieces around lanterns, flowers on all cocktail tables, two boxes of babies breath for my place cards and more. At this age, my friends and I have been in A LOT of weddings. One of my bridesmaids said "These are by far the prettiest flowers I have seen of any wedding I have been in." On the day of, Jamie, Diane's daughter delivered the bouts and bouquets to my hotel and set-up the entire venue. They also left fresh flowers for my cake lady. Whimsey was affordable and made my wedding exactly what I had envisioned. I have learned that the flowers are one of the most important pieces of the wedding.

he first time I met with Diane I really didn't know much about flowers, I showed her some pictures and she kept suggesting flowers and I had to look them up online to see what they looked like, but somehow she just got my vision. She is very sweet and pleasant to work with and always quick to respond to emails. The day of the wedding, once I got to the venue and saw all the flowers I was just amazed! They looked just breathtaking and beautiful. She exceeded my expectations, and I feel so lucky that Diane was part of my wedding day.

exactly what I had pictured. Couldn't have asked for more.

ere everything I wanted but couldn't describe! The bouquets were perfect. Throughout the whole process Diane was professional and her prices were fair and affordable. We kept changing the number of flowers that would be needed for grandparents and Diane remained helpful and flexible. I would highly recommend Whimsey Florals. Thank you!!

e wedding. Overall the flowers and center pieces looked good, but the tall mercury glass candlesticks we asked for were replaced by clear glass candlesticks and the center pieces had more foliage than agreed upon. The table arrangements we ended up with neither matched inspiration photos we showed her nor what we discussed at our final meeting. After the wedding Diane apologized at first but then moved on to explain to us why she thought the mercury glass may have overpowered the table arrangements, and that we wanted “more garden style” center pieces. We wish either us or our wedding coordinator would have been consulted regarding the clear glass candlesticks and center pieces, and were not pleased with Diane’s repeated attempts to justify her choices.

eat, and our flowers were STUNNING. Even my tough ex-police officer uncle could not stop talking about the flowers :) We did try to donate all of them to hospice charity, but we could not find an org who would pick them up over the holiday weekend.... so they are ALL currently in my house, broken up into every vase I own and literally just EVERYWHERE. We did not have the heart to throw them away! Here's hoping they live all week :)

great, but our center pieces stole the show. They completely transformed our reception and we received numerous compliments throughout the evening. We couldn't be happier - worth every penny!

hrough the process, we provided her with concrete requests, and not only did she welcome our input, she took our requests and combined them with her eye for design along with her expertise, and thanks to her, our wedding was absolutely beautiful. Everything was perfect. All of our guests keep complimenting the reception decorations. Diane was easy to work with and responsive, and she helped keep things within a relatively low budget by incorporating less expensive elements and flowers. We give her the highest recommendations and would not hesitate to use Whimsey Florals again. When I first saw our reception venue, decorated in her arrangements and design elements, it literally took my breath away. Diane is the best!

d come up with table arrangements that were tasteful and non-obtrusive to the guests. Small touches like the sprig of lavender on the napkins made a huge different in the display without a huge hit to the budget. I would highly recommend Diane for anyone planning a special event.

hat I liked about Diane is that she listens to you and tries to deliver your vision. She is accommodating and pleasant to work with. My Centerpieces looked gorgeous and wowed everyone at my wedding. I'm very pleased with Diane's work. I also like to add that I had a change in my wedding timeline and I called Diane a few days before the wedding to talk to her about the change. Diane noticed that I was stressed out and assured me that she would stay later to move the flowers and told me not to worry about anything. That was such a big relief for me. She is amazing.

bout and what she had quoted me for. I told her I didn't like it and reiterated that I wanted what we had talked about and had listed on the quote. She made me pay for another mock up that was better but still not exactly what we had talked about and she admitted to using week old flowers (and they looked it). Because of this I was unsure if she really understood the overall look that I was wanting. I would email or text her with pictures of flowers that I liked and wouldn't hear back from her. 2 weeks before the wedding, I had to send her the final payment and we were emailing back and forth regarding the final payment amount and clarifying which flowers I wanted. She suddenly stopped responding and didn't accept the final payment that I sent. The following week she finally responded saying that she was out of town visiting family; it would have been nice if she would have just told me that the day we were emailing back and forth instead of leaving me to worry if I was going to have flowers at all. In the end, the floral arrangements ended up being what I wanted and beautiful. There were a few small issues with drooping flowers/leaves. My bouquet had dusty miller in it and one of the bunches was just limp and hanging off the side. I just adjusted the way I held the bouquet and ignored it. Other than that, all the flowers were very fresh and lively.

d wedding, and what she created exceeded our expectations! I just kept saying I want lots of texture, and didn't care so much about the colors. I didn't give her too much direction. I just wanted the flowers and centerpieces to really look like plants you would find on the ocean floor, and Diane really went above and beyond my vision. She picked the perfect combo of flowers, succulents, thistles and orchids. We got so many compliments on the flowers and the centerpieces, which really looked like undersea coral and plants! The flowers really made the entire theme come to life. On the wedding day, 1 of the boutounnieres was missing and Diane whipped up a perfect extra on the spot! Diane really has a talent and we were thrilled with the final result. She is also a courteous, punctual, and friendly businesswoman, and I trusted her to come through on our big day.

nd soft and gorgeous. She delivered above and beyond! The meeting with her covered so many things I wouldn't have thought of. Diane was there on time on my wedding day, set everything up so it looked flawless, and even though I only saw her for a moment, she had everyone ready with their flowers! I just couldn't stop staring at my bouquet, it was so beautiful! The flowers live on in the photos, they look fantastic! She was also very conscious of budget. Thank you Diane, it was more than I could have hoped for!

sponding to our emails when we had questions. The important part: The flowers looked great, we couldn't have been happier with our center pieces and the bouquets. They were on time and set up in plenty of time for the wedding with no stress. For a look at the flowers see a few photos of ours at http://www.jenwillphoto.com/leigh-daniel-karl-strauss-brewery-wedding-san-diego-wedding-photographer/

a of flowers for my big day. The end result of her work was SO beautiful! She worked with us on budget and listened to our ideas. We were very pleased with how everything turned out! RECOMMEND!

had no idea about flowers when I first met with her. I told her the colors that i liked and she explained and showed all types of flowers that would be available during my wedding season. She worked extremely well in my budget(just over $1000). We knew flowers were a place we wanted to save money on and she understood that. She didnt try to oversell us on centerpieces we didnt want or need. She came up with different creative, and less expensive means of decorating. But when she did make florals arrangements, ie the bouquet, they were gorgeous! On the wedding day she uses an assistant to help her deliver the fresh flowers. I have recommended her to a colleague who is getting married soon and she was shocked at how much cheaper the invoice was from Whimsey Florals than other vendors for the same items! She is going with Diane too!!

ng ideas and created the perfect bouquet for my Matron of Honor. I knew what I wanted for myself,(dark purple calla lilies) so that was easy and my bouquet was gorgeous. As I was on a limited budget for flowers, she created different ideas for me to make my wedding and the reception classy and elegant. I couldn't be more pleased with her. She is a must use florist! Thanks so much Diane for making my day very special!

I had changed a lot of what I wanted and Diane took it all in with not even a raised eyebrow! I could not believe how amazing out ceremony site, cocktail hour and reception looked once Diane finished with it- she truly pays attention to every little detail to make your day absolutely stunning!

ter than I ever imagined. Diane really listened to what I described and came through in an unbelievable manner. For my Jr. bridesmaids and flower girl, I asked for fun, colorful flower wands with ribbon streaming from them - they were so adoeable and beautiful. They girls absolutely loved them and everyone htought it was such a cute alternative to a regular bouquet. I can't say enough nice things about Diane and Whimsey Florals. Her prices are very fair too and she works hard to stay within your budget. If you are still looking for a florist, try out Whimsey. You will love it!

nded by my reception site, and I was not disappointed. I would use her again!

in my budget and were really great at tying all of the details of the wedding together with the arrangements and bouquets. They are the most fun people to work with and their creativity is astounding. They made everything so easy and stress free - a wonderful experience.

make my bridal party flowers and Diane was nice enough to get me those flowers in wholesale price from the flower mart. I could not thank her enough for that. She is very talented and I was really happy with all the masterpieces that she made. Great price and great quality of service!

at and I couldnt have been more happy. She did a great job with the ceremony florals as well, making a piece for my arch and fiding ways to reuse them at the reception. She exceeded my expectations and was very nice thru the whole process.

s, manzanita trees, willow branches, etc) and the cost of those must have counted in the $1000, I think. Either way, she did a great job and her attention to detail really shows in her work. I'm glad we went with Whimsey Florals.
