Sally was recommended to us by our wedding planner and we are so thankful for the recommendation! Our knowledge of flowers was minimal so we simply told Sally what colors we wanted and the feel we were going for and she was able to create something amazing. Originally, our agreement was that the vases had to be returned to her after the wedding. But on the day of, she ended up letting us keep the vases so our guests could take home the centerpieces! Huge BONUS! Overall, Sally responded quickly to all of our emails, was very accommodating when we had to make some changes, and helped us to stay within our budget. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

If I could figure out how to post a picture of our daughter's reception, I would do it, and then no words would be necessary!! When the reception ballroom doors opened (after the cocktail hour), there was, literally, an audible gasp from our guests when they saw the room! I'm being quite serious!! It was absolutely stunning! Sally is a true artist, and sooo wonderful to work with!
Our daughter's wedding was 4/21/12 at the US Grant in San Diego, and we initially picked Sally to interview because of a picture we saw of one of her centerpieces. My daughter, the bride, loved speaking with her, and knew immediately that Sally seemed to grasp her ideas, and was the one she wanted to handle the flowers, as well as, all of the candles that were used (and there were many!!!).
Anyway, her work was breathtaking, and we would highly recommend her to everyone.
Another note of appreciation to Sally - she suggested that we donate the arrangements to hospice after the wedding, (which we did)and Sally handled all the details involving that as well!
Love, love...

Sally at Exquisite Blooms is amazing! I had no idea what I wanted for flowers, yet she made the most beautiful arrangements that perfectly matched my colors and personality. Her prices are very affordable and her flowers are top quality. She will work with you on whatever you want for your wedding-just a few flowers or tons of flowers.

I had seen Exquisite Blooms on a number of sites with rave reviews so I decided to give her a call. I am so glad I did! Not only was she reasonable, but my flowers were stunning! I was probably fairly difficult because I didn’t really know what I wanted, and I completely changed my mind half way through the process! I just couldn’t come up with an inspiration picture of exactly what I wanted. Though I totally trusted her, I was just nervous because I felt like I couldn’t put into words what I wanted. Well, Sally is a genius. She managed to get results that were EXACTLY what I was looking for, better than I had ever hoped. She was able to get these dahlias that were unlike dahlias I had ever seen. I got so many compliments on them!! The bouquets were all the perfect size. The ceremony flowers were stunning!! I love looking at the picture of our arch! For the reception I bought a bunch of vases, which she graciously took, off my hands a couple months early. I tried to have a vision when I bought them but was a little worried they weren’t going to work together. Sally made them all work perfectly! The tables looked exactly like what I had pictured! I still don’t know how she managed to pull all my thoughts together like she did, she is truly gifted! Absolutely worth hiring!

Sally was amazing! I'm a very hands-off bride, so I gave her some very vague descriptions of what I wanted. Sally took those and made the most floral arrangements for me! We got some many compliments. Sally was so easy to work with; she made everything easy for us. I would recommend her a thousand times!

I wasn't the kind of bride that knew exactly what kind of flowers I wanted. I knew basically the color scheme and feel I was going for and that was it. After Sally found out what we were looking for, she took care of everything for me...and it was amazing! The centerpieces (floral and candelabras) were absolutely gorgeous! I got SO many compliments from family and friends on them! I told her I wanted white flowers for my bouquet and maybe some lace, and she took took that to the next level. Everything was so much more beautiful than I could have imagined!
To top it off, she was incredibly responsive through email, professional, friendly and called me about a month before to verify everything. I would highly recommend you look into Exquisite Blooms if you want a talented florist for your event!

Sally was so great to work with. I have a very rudimentary knowledge of flowers and just described what I envisioned and she ran with it. Her style is modern, chic and classy. I was able to trust her with everything for my wedding. Even when curve balls were thrown at her (I had requested green and white mums, but for the first time in floral history, there was a mum shortage nationwide), she dealt with them beautifully. She made my wedding gorgeous. Her responsiveness time was reasonable. She's better with email/text and got back to me w/in a week. Her prices are reasonable for what you get. She has great customer service. She was always willing to meet up and run over things or have supplies dropped off. The best thing about Sally besides her work was how easy it was to get along with her. I will definitely be using her again for any future events.

I planned my wedding from out of state and received Sally's information through my wedding planner. I loved the photos of her creations on her blog and knew that Sally would be the perfect person to design our flowers. We only met twice in the year of planning, most of our correspondence was through email. Sally always got back to me promptly and with all the info I needed. The flowers on the day of the wedding were AMAZING! I cried when I saw my boquet for the first time. My guests were blown away. Everything was perfect, better than I could have ever imagined. I would highly highly recommend Sally to anyone looking for spectacular wedding flowers!

Sally, the owner, was very easy to work with. She was very patient with me when I was trying to decide what flowers would work best for me and my wedding party. She not only delivered the flowers to my house and the church at no additional cost, she was very prompt when doing so. Her prices were very reasonable compared to other florists and her work is very beautiful.

Sally was great to work with while we were planning. She was able to work with our budget and still provide great flowers. The bouquets were beautiful and the centerpieces looked great. The only thing that we didn't like was how our flowers were delivered and set-up. According to our wedding planner, the flowers were not delivered or set-up by Sally. The flowers were delivered by a teenage girl to the Church late, so everything was being set-up after half of our guests had already arrived. The flowers were set-up at the reception on-time, but someone mentioned that the teenage girl was sending text messages on her phone the entire time she was setting up the centerpieces. Other than the delivery and set-up, we were very pleased with how the flowers and centerpieces turned out and all of our communications with Sally were great. We were just a little confused as to why she did not handle our flowers the day of the wedding, which was the impression she gave us.

Exquisite Blooms of San Diego truly made my wedding unforgettable with such amazing floral arrangements and I cannot thank Sally enough for everything she did for me!! I got married in the Fall of 2010 at Ponte Winery in Temecula, CA and for anyone who has ever been there they know just how beautiful this venue is. Sally was able to take this already beautiful venue and create a floral creation that turned Ponte Winery into a gorgeous wedding venue by using a fall inspired color palate to accent all the green from the vineyards. It was breath-taking and words could never describe just how beautiful turned out.
The even more amazing part was that I was on a budget for my flowers and Sally was able to come up with this amazing creation on such a small amount of money. She is extremely talented and knows her flowers!! It was hard for me to describe what I had envisioned but she was able to work closely with me and figure out what I wanted just by getting to know my personality.
If you have the chance to work with her don’t pass it up, she is a...

Sally with Exquisite Blooms is AWESOME! My husband and I planned our wedding in 2 months and we were on a budget. She worked with our budget as well as made our wedding beautiful! I could not be more happy with her artistic ability and her knowledge of flowers that would really work. Not really knowing about flowers, I gave her the reigns, after giving her our wedding colors -- grey and yellow. She has a great eye and I was so impressed when I arrived at the church to see our beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres. She also delivered our wedding flowers to our ceremony -- our simple yet elegent orchids. Sally is super professional and made it easy to work with her, especially when I had changes that I had to make a couple weeks prior to the wedding. I would highly recommend her for any wedding or occasion!!!!!!!

I cannot thank Exquisite Blooms enough for the fabulous job done on my wedding flowers. Sally was very helpful in selecting flowers that would accompany the ideas I brought to the table and was uber ready to meet the challenge of finding flowers that were not quite at their peak season. All the arrangements turned out so beautiful and smelled great too. I have been to a lot of weddings, seen many arrangements, and have worked with other vendors for friends and events, I have yet to meet anyone with the sweet personality that Sally has to go along with her quick response, perserverance to satisfy the client, beyond reasonible prices, and results that scream Exquisit!!! I highly recommend this vendor and will use her again and again for other life celebrations. Thank you Sally :o)

We used Sally for all of our arrangements (bouquets, boutineers, aisle arrangements, center pieces, etc.) She did a fantastic job with the flowers for our wedding. I had very broad ideas about what I wanted in our arrangements, and she took the vague guidance and turned it into a spectacular & creative display that represented my husband and my tastes perfectly. The flowers were fresh and gorgeous! Also, she was very professional, friendly, and responsive.

Sally was a dream. I loved how everything came out. I knew it would be nice, but it was beyond my expectations. I loved the flowers, and the candles, and especially the wooden creations Sally created for me after I simply shower her a picture as an idea. Sally went along with all of my wild ideas. I loved working with her, and she was always available to listen to my ideas, and my mom's and my sister's and even the little flower girl's ideas. If you describe anything to Sally, as crazy and out there as it seems, Sally will make it all come together and look superb. The decoration on my wedding day was fantastic, and I have Sally to thank for it all.
