Fantasy Floral Designs

GORGEOUS!!! Amanda's creations are so amazingly beautiful! The BM bouquets were different than I expected, but they complimented all of their dresses, and they were so beautiful that I really can't complain. My bouquet made me cry. It was stunning...black magic roses with special decorative crystals that even matched the spirals on my cake! All of our guests commented on the beauty of the silk box centerpieces (again - to match my BM dresses). Amanda went above and beyond -- it looked like we spent a fortune on flowers when that was actually the place we really scrimped!

I fell in love with Amanda’s work after seeing photos in another bride’s bio and knew that I had to meet her. She works out of her home in San Juan Capistrano, and my BM and I drove down to see her. We looked through boxes of photos of her wonderful designs. I don’t know a whole lot about flowers, and I wasn’t really particular about the types of flowers she used (except carnations – I said no carnations!) so I described to her my vision with the color combinations – all shades of pinks, reds, and whites. When the flowers arrived on my wedding day, I was beside myself! She had created my vision! I had seen pictures of her clay pot centerpieces (tall pots, not the standard short ones) and thought they would coordinate really well with our site, and again, I was not disappointed. They looked amazing! Amanda also provided us with our chuppah, and I described to her that I wanted the posts wrapped with greenery with splashes of color. When I walked down the aisle and saw my DH standing underneath the chuppah, it was just another confirmation of how great Amanda’s work is. She has a lot of brides, and is sometimes difficult to get a hold of, but on the Monday of the week of my wedding, she called me to tell me that it was “my” week, and she gave me her undivided attention. I had also asked for her to bring some flowers for my hair, and they arrived with all sorts of large and small roses all wired to put in the back of my hair, and all my BM's put them in their hair also! We also rented our cupcake tree from Amanda, which turned out to be so cute! Highly recommended.

The flowers for the front of the aisle were GORGEOUS, heavenly, PERFECT!!!! The bouts were PERFECT, the corsages were good, and the bouquets were not what I wanted. She DID include lots of herbs and berries, exactly like I wanted, but didn't use the flowers she said she would -- bluebird roses, no white flowers, and purple/lavender flowers like hydrangea and lilacs. If you look at the pics in my bio (which are pics I gave her), and then the pics of my bouquet, you'll see they aren't the same at all. I at one point (although she may not have it on record) said I DIDN'T want calla lilies at all, and there were lavender callas in my bouquet. The color families are basically right -- lavender and pink, but I didn't want white, and there was plenty of white hydrangea in the bouquets. I liked the herb stuff she put in the bouquets, but was slightly disappointed in both the bouquets and also the corsages, which were white with pink berries. This may have been a problem because this was the day before Mother's Day, but who knows?

Quick note -- even though the bouquets were kept in jars in ice, they still wilted quickly with the heat. I had to pull several pieces out of my bouquet because they flopped over. Also, I don't know who was setting up the flowers, but it wasn't Amanda. She did deliver to north LA county from Orange County, but I had to have my aunt take the iron stands back down to OC with her. She didn't stay to move any flower arrangements around or take the stands back. (Even though she charged me for delivery.)

Amanda is amazing and warm and friendly. Her design is tasteful and beautiful. Plus she's so great with color and design.

I'm not one for going out of my way to write something, but I have to share! As we know planning a wedding is stressful, Amanda at Fantasy Floral took the pressure off of me right away, we just clicked. I shared with her what my vission was and she more then made it happen, to be honest it looked better then what I had created in my head. I first though who is that lady that works out of her house, well this lady creates magic! I want to get married all over again, just so I can walk into my reception again and see and feel the way I did on our special day.
Thank You Amanda and to your great team of workers.

All I can say is FABULOUS, FABULOUS, FABULOUS!!! We first met Amanda and Fantasy Floral when we hed a private function at my home. She did such an amazing job we then had her create the flowers for my son's wedding and have continued to use her for all events since. She has never let me down; has only gone beyond my expectations. She has an amazing gift that is able to transform an ordinary space into someting magical. I highly recommend Amanda and Fantasy Floral for any occassion.

Amanda did a FABULOUS job for our wedding! Beautful red rose designs that lasted for weeks! We were on a very tight budget and you would have never known seeing the beutiful center pieces!
I can honestly say out of all the vendors that we used, Amanda's company was our favorite!
I would recommend her to anyone!
