Floral Design Studio

Nona was amazing from the start. In order to get a better feel of what I was looking for she pulled up a picture of my wedding dress and talked me out of getting a very colorful bouquet because it would have overpowered my dress since it had beading in it. She was so right, everything was exactly how she explained. I wasn't sure what flowers just knew I wanted purple and for the colors to be soft and compliment and not overpower. She gave me exactly that. I loved the bouquets, boutineers and corsages.

Nona and her staff are amazing.

I've known Nona for several years now and attended several weddings where she was the florist. I am always impressed with the pieces she creates. From the bouquets, altar pieces, pew decorations to table centerpieces -- her designs are beautiful, artistic, refreshing and customized for the bride and groom. Some florists carbon copy weddings and after awhile, it becomes overdone. With Nona's work, you can see the quality and know it's from Nona but it doesn't look or feel like something she created without care.

Her pieces lasted throughout the day (even the super toasty Bay Area ones).

I am looking forward to having Nona's creations for my wedding.

Nona and her staff are awesome! They will work within your budget to give you the look you want. I loved my bridal bouquet and LOVED the floral arch which I received lots of compliments on. She is good about recommending ways to cut costs such as where to buy cheap glass vases (Ikea) and what time of the year you can get certain flowers at lower costs.

Nona provided the flowers for our wedding. She came highly recommended by a co-worker. Nona was easy to work with, reasonably priced and really knows her flowers. She never tried to oversell us and even gave suggestions when I said that my mother wanted to do the centerpieces. I know next to nothing about flowers, so it was great that she had suggestions and was willing to work around flowers that make me sneeze! I would highly recommend her!

Nona's floral creations are true works of art and will add style and class to any venue! Her designs are a reflection of her knowledge and love of her medium. She runs her business with as much precision and professionalism as she does her design work!

Nona and her associates were a pleasure to work with. They were very flexible concerning what we could do with my budget. I know almost nothing about flowers, so it was really nice that I was able to just give some color suggestions to Nona and she would tell me what kind of flowers we could use and even pulled up pictures of the flowers I wasn't familiar with. The only area that I wasn't completely, 100% satisfied with- was that the centerpieces were not quite as full as I imagined they would be. But they were still lovely, and they were complimented by my guests.

Nona was easy to talk to and very creative. Within 5 minutes of meeting her I knew she was going to be my florist. I wanted seasonal flowers, to use flowers that are native to CA, to have something really nice within my budget. She listened to me and gave me wonderful suggestions that formed the proposal. The flowers she delivered exceeded our vision, our budget & fit perfectly with our Christian-Hindu style wedding. I highly recommend her work.

Nona at Floral Design Studio made me wedding what it is. From our first meeting till the wedding, she was always available, always in a positive mood, and always with great ideas. She saw my vision I wanted to create and executed it above and beyond my expectations. Now, two months later and people are still commenting on how amazing my flowers were. Not only the flowers, but Nona generously rented us some other items out of her shop that we needed last minute and threw in some bling around the vases we saw. She is so easy going and is truly there for the bride and the family. When she came back after the wedding was over at 11:30pm, she not only got her things together, but helped my mom clean up and even washed out our Champagne flutes. I couldn't imagine a better florist and so happy we found Floral Design Studio. I hope to work with Nona again for something.

Nona, you are the best!! Everyone was surprised about flower arrangements at my wedding!! Thank you so much!

Nona, she's great! When I first visited her studio she asked me "What do I like" my answer was "I have no idea" hahaha... she immediately took out few books and show me what she can do for me. Of course, she also checked with my on how many tables, guest and my budget so she can work within my budget. On the day of my wedding, Nona and her team came early to drop off all the flowers and ready for set-up. Overall, I'm very satisfied with her service and I will definitely introduce her to my next girlfriend who is getting married. Thank you Nona and your team!Kay

Nona Tai is amazing! Don't even bother looking anywhere else. Nona is by far the most talented, professional and affordable choice. She was so easy and pleasant to work with. I loved the work that she did for my August Sonoma wedding. She understood exactly what we wanted and was able to deliver above and beyond what we expected. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding florist. I can't thank Nona enough for making my wedding day so beautiful.

Nona is a GEM!! My husband and I had met with two other florists previous to meeting Nona and within 5 minutes with Nona, we knew we wanted to book her for our wedding. Nona is very creative and after we showed her some photos/ideas of what we wanted for our centerpieces, she drew out some pictures and came up with options for us that worked within our budget. We told Nona that we were doing a beach theme and Nona suggested we use sand & seashells within the vases to go with the theme. Her creativity and vision was so important and she went above and beyond our expectations. We also told Nona what we wanted to do with our placecards and she lent us a clear large tray and helped us prepare it before our reception by filling it with sand and setting up the starfish placecards for us. Nona is very personable and she made us feel at ease and confident that everything will turn out great and it did!! We couldn't be happier and would definitely recommend Nona and Floral Design Studio to our friends.

Nona is amazing floral artist and extremely creative! You can tell that she love what she does =). I told her my wedding colors (purple and green) and asked her to use whatever flowers were in season for my wedding at Palmdale Estates (Fremont, CA), Sunken Garden. She created a majestic floral arrangement that draped the perimeter of the wedding arch. My guests and bridal party was awestruck by the colors of the piece. We were also able to reuse this arrangement on our head table at the reception party. This piece made our headtable look very elegant.

Nona is AMAZING at what she does and you will not be disappointed! I showed her several photos of what I was looking for and she blew me away the day of by making it even better than what I expected. She listened to everything I said, made notes, and even sketched me the idea she was thinking of in-office during our consultation. She was able to help me work within my budget but still giving me the bouquet and alter pieces of my dreams! Not to mention the rest of the wedding was absolutely beautiful from the cake to the individual centerpieces :) She even helped me with my hair piece which consisted of 3 orchids and I got so many compliments on it as well as my bouquet! All in all, I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! She is a joy to work with!

Nona and her staff did an amazing job at our wedding. Everything looked beautiful! Nona is responsible, punctual, very professional and fun to work with. The bouquets looked stunning! The gazebo arrangement was beautiful and the flowers were so pretty and looked so perfect that it was hard to believe they were real. I highly recommend Floral Design Studio.

Nona Nona Nona of Floral Design studio! I love this woman! I was introduced to Nona through my planner Mary Phan and I am glad she had me meet with Nona because we instantly clicked! See the thing is Nona loves flowers and she loves doing amazing new things with flowers that most are afraid to do. I love that tenacity about her. Anyway, when I first met Nona we started discussing my ideas for flowers at my wedding and she was more excited than I was which I love. As the months and year went on I changed things here and there and Nona just rolled with the punches. At the very last minute we had to cut a large portion of the flowers for the ceremony out due to budget concerns and she was on board. She changed flowers around and gave options that will save us money and still have beautiful flowers. I can't say enough about the professionalism and flexibility of the Nona and her team. Check out some pictures from the wedding to see some of Nona's workhttp://greenweddingshoes.com/?p=16539http://www.punambean.com/blog/?p=1350Thanks Nona!

Nona went above and beyond to make our wedding beautiful. Her flowers, centerpieces, table overlay and aisle designs added an excellent touch to our wonderful wedding.

Nona did a wonderful job on the girls' bouquets. They were so beautiful and included my favorite flowers and colors. I loved the arrangements. She also helped with the design of the cake flowers, and let my mother-in-law come into the studio to work on some boutonnieres and corsages. I can tell that she has her customer's best interest.

Nona knew create ways to be creative and practical with pricing. I just told her the colors and themes and she showed me pictures and helped me visualize exactly how the wedding would be. The wedding flowers were beautiful!

Nona did the flowers for my daughters wedding on July 31 at Elliston Vineyards. My daughter talked to her about colors and flowers she liked and Nona made suggestions of other flowers in the same color scheme and drew the most beauiful pictures. She knew the site and knew just what was needed. The garland she designed for the gazebo in the garden where the ceremony was held was breathtakingly beautiful. Her staff stayed until the ceremony and pictures were over to move that arrangement to the head table. We will definitely call her when our other daughter gets married.

Nona is amazing. As soon as I sat down and heard her ideas, I was sold.
I later found out that my soon-to-be mother-in-law wanted to pay for the flowers and wanted to meet with her and I thought "oh oh"...so I took her with me to meet with Nona. My now mother-in-law is huge on flowers...she knows every flower, which color they come in and which season...and she was totally impressed with her too! What a relief!
Flowers were gorgeous...they arrived at exactly the time she said they would.
Highly recommend Floral Design Studio...my friends have hired Nona for their wedding too!

My flowers were so gorgeous! Nona was great to work with and very helpful with selecting the designs.

Simply put- Nona is amazing!!!! She was recommended by all my other girlfriends in the bay area since she did their weddings. She had never worked at my venue in Napa before and I was soooo glad she agreed to travel to Napa to do my flowers. She did an amazing job! I planned my wedding from New York and she was always available and so efficient and organized. We would discuss the arrangements over the phone and the next morning I'd have an updated excel spreadsheet with the orders and what flowers she would use. I met her once in the studio prior to the wedding and she captured exactly the feel I wanted for my wedding. I received plenty of compliments and she is so reasonably priced. Great to work with, professional, and a fantastic artist, I highly recommend Nona and the floral design studio.

I was on a tight budget and worried that the flowers would show the sort of budget I was on. Nona did a beautiful job fitting well within my budget and making flower arrangements more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. I will never forget seeing my bouquet for the first time on my wedding day and thinking, WOW, these are amazing! I could not have asked for better flexibility, since we booked everything so early (12 months ahead) which meant that I was bound to change my mind a few times. It was never a problem for her.I absolutely recommend Floral Design Studio!!!

We came to Nona with a good idea of what we wanted. She took the idea and made it so much more than we ever expected. The entire night people were asking where we got our flowers. I have been looking at hundereds of pictures of Bouquets and I had not really fallen inlove with any of them so I just gave her a description and she made it so much more than I ever expected.

Nona was fantastic and knew exactly the kind of look I wanted for my wedding. Her and my wedding planner together came up with so many ideas that I never even thought of. She was so easy to work with and any time I needed her she was there. Nona and her team was even able to move my altar inside to be a backdrop for my sweetheart table. She was also able to come through and make me a custom table that everyone loved. I would easily recommend Floral Design Studio anytime to anyone.

Nona was so easy to deal with and knew exactly what I was trying to say even though I wasn't great at describing. She pulled up a picture of my dress and we went from there. My flowers were beautiful and she was so easy to deal with and accomodating extra corsages and boutineers I forgot I needed at the last second.

Nona was great and everything turned out perfectly. We could not have asked for more.

We wanted a simple, no fuss wedding and had a light blue/chocolate brown as our colors. We have NO idea how this was going to translate over to our flowers. Floral Design Studio was the second florist that we scheduled, and I immediately knew that we had to book them! Nona, the owner/proprietor/designer/all around person is very knowledgeable and keen on what I had wanted for our wedding. She had introduced us to different varieties of flowers, and used flowers that are in season and ones that will work with the budget that we had set. The flowers were very beautiful, and I was more than happy with the service that we had gotten from her and her team.

I chose Nona to do the flowers for my wedding, and I'm so glad I did. I had seen her work at another friend and was very impressed. While I expected she would be out of our price range, I was pleasantly surprised to find her rates extremely reasonable. When I initially met with Nona, I had a few ideas of what I wanted. For instance, I knew that I wanted the flowers to be very colorful. I knew that I didn't want anything too elaborate for either the ceremony or the reception becuase I did not want to detract from the beautiful settings. Also, I was on a strict budget. I thought Nona might try to talk me into more elaborate pieces but she did not. However, she did help me fill in the gaps in my vision and came up with some details that I would never have thought of, which were absolutely perfect. She has a way of taking the ideas you have and working with them to create something even better. For instance, I wanted some flower wreaths for our flower girls to wear in their hair. Nona suggested making them in a soft headband style rather than as wreaths so as to be more child-friendly. They looked adorable and our flower girls kept them on all night.The flowers were absolutely gorgeous. Our centerpieces were simple but stunning. My bouquet and the bouquets of all wedding party members, as well as the corsages, boutonnieres, etc were fabulous. Our colors were coral, yellow and aqua. There aren't too many aqua colored flowers but she incorporated some aqua hydrangeas as well as some high quality aqua ribbon into the various elements. Everything tied together beautifully. Nona is super-nice and easy to work with. I was pleased not only with the beautiful arrangements and reasonable prices, but with also her excellent service & staff. Getting the corsages & boutonnieres to my house, as well as setting up the ceremony and reception sites definitely required some coordination and time management. But they made it seem effortless. Overall, I highly recommend her. Thank you, Nona!

Was a pleasure to work with. Nona is very down to earth and worked well with my budget and requests. The flowers were beautiful and all the guests commented on the wonderful centerpieces! Delivery was prompt.

Excellent product. Nona (owner) is very easy to work with

She was amazing! She did all of the arrangements exactly how she described them. She worked with us for hours it seemed like to make sure everything was the way that we wanted it! She was also great about suggesting flowers that would work better than others and ones that were less expensive than ones we were looking at! Our centerpieces were gorgeous. My mom had to fight to get one! Plus- it still looked amazing when we got back from our honeymoon a week later. She was also great about my crazy phone calls about wanting to change something. I admit I went a little crazy about the flowers, but she was amazingly patient and helpful!

Nona at Floral Design Studio did an amazing job on my flowers. I admit that the only time I cried at my wedding was when I walked into the reception hall before the ceremony and saw my flowers. They were breathtaking and EXACTLY what I had hoped for. We met many times before the wedding to discuss our options and coming from a control freak like myself, I never once lost faith in Nona and her ability to make my dream into a reality. She is very artistic and creative. I would highly recommend her services to any bride or groom to be.

Nona and her crew are great. I showed her my ideas about these manzanita branches with pink orchids for centerpieces. I expected them to look nice because I was already in love with the idea of them, but when I saw the actual centerpieces all placed perfectly in the ballroom the night before the wedding, I was blown away. She made them more beautiful than I could have ever imagined and the ballroom looked like an enchanted forest of pink orchid trees with hanging votives with a lush base of moss, flowers, and candles. I highly recommend them because Nona will also work with you on your budget. Thank you to Nona and crew for your excellent floral design!

Here's the thing about Nona at Floral Design Studio. She is an artist, and I really mean that. You will get your money's worth if you tell her what you want your wedding to be like and let her create something for you. I could never in a million years have come up with anything as beautiful and Nona came up with. She takes the time to get to know you and then she gives you her ideas of what she thinks will make you happy. She wasn't wrong in my case. We even changed our wedding venue and colors. She was flexible and so enjoyable to work with. The flowers were so wonderful they made me want to cry. We are so lucky we hired Nona. She is amazing. You'll think your flowers are amazing too!

I literally pat myself on the back for hiring Floral Design Studio! I worked directly with Nona, the owner. From our first meeting, I was pretty confident that she would be the one I would hire. What particularly impressed me about Nona was her ability to catch onto the vision I had for my wedding (I had a literary theme and already had a strong idea of what I wanted for my DIY half of the centerpieces). As soon as I showed her some pictures and discussed my ideas, she just started oozing ideas and thoughts of her own on what SHE could do to help bring that vision to life! Not only that, but she was able to work with my (dare I say) measly budget. Also, I was married during the winter holiday season, so while other florists I had met up with gave me excuses for why I wouldn't be able to get good flowers (even though I was totally open and flexible) and why I should allow them to charge me a premium for working around that time, Nona was excited and inspired. Also, to my surprise, she even took my DIY centerpieces and offered to set them up for me on the day of the wedding with no extra charge! This lady is awesome! We worked really well together and I truly think she gave me a great deal!

Nona Tai was AMAZING!! We had a specific vision when hiring a florist and she was able to meet those needs. If you are looking for a florisit who "thinks outside the box," Nona is your girl. We would give her an idea and she would simply add to that vision with her unique touch. We loved the idea that we were able to use the same flowers for the ceremony AND the reception, which helped keep costs low. The only downfall (if I had to come up with one) is that Nona has limited pictures to show.

Nona and her team were truly a joy to work with. She has great creativity and was flexible with all requests. Our wedding was at SF City Hall under the grand dome and Nona was really helpful at decorating and providing flowers that fit the theme, decor and personality of the wedding - within our budget. She is great at being realistic about your budget and ideas. I have already recommended Nona to a few friends and coworkers. She was originally recommended to me by my best friend who used Nona for her wedding.

Loved working with Nona! Great quality and service! She was very flexible in working with the price range my husband and I had in mind. The guests really liked our simple centerpieces! Very elegant :)

I would recommend Nona and Floral Design Studio for anyone planning a wedding or event!The prices were unmatched, the creativeness and flexibility were great!!!Everyone loved the centerpieces she did, and a few last minute arrangements we decided to add w ere no problem for her!Highly recommended!

Nona was great, helped with ideas and came through on the big day. The flowers were so beautiful and fresh!

NONA, NONA, NONA!Few people are truly rock stars at what they do, and Nona falls into this category. When my husband I first met with her to discuss flowers for our wedding, we brought in some photos from the net of initial ideas we had, and she expanded upon them further with beautiful suggestions.Because we would be standing in front of large windows for the ceremony, she talked us out of using an arch in front of it because a structure in front of a structure would look jarring. Instead, she suggested that they tie kiwi vine and flowers around the windows to frame us! I was BLOWN AWAY when I saw them at the ceremony site!And I don't even know how to get started about our bouquets. Let's just say, the moment I saw them, I screamed, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME! OH EM GEE!" (in a positive manner, of course.) My bouquet had gardenias, which smelled absolutely divine for days afterward. I really need to find a good photo of it to put up, but please have a look at the photos I've uploaded of the kiwi vines and bridesmaids' bouquets.You know from previous reviewers that she is reasonable with her prices, and she even talked me out of getting flowers for our reception since it took place at a Chinese restaurant and everyone would take them off their lazy susans anyway.My god. Hire Floral Design Studio NOW.

Nona is great about working within your budget. She does all she can to help you get the most for your money. She does amazing work and we highly recommend her!

beautiful flowers, incredible designs and outcome for the price. but may need to refresh the florist's memory of your wedding details. good thing they do have everything on file though.

Nona is the best! She's very flexible and has lots of ideas! Her prices are reasonable and she'll totally work with your budget! She would also give you tips on how to save and take care of the flowers. The only thing I was not very happy about was the color of my centerpieces. The blue hydrangeas look more gray and not as fresh as the bright bluish/purple ones I'm going for. I showed Nona the pictures beforehand and she did say that she'll try to get them. Perhaps, her supplier just doesn't have them (even if I see them alot in Safeways, etc). But overall, I'm happy with her and will recommend her to other people.

Although this florist makes beautiful arrangements, the day of my wedding, my bouquet was wilted and the color of the flowers used was not what we ordered. I was very unhappy with my flowers the day of the wedding not only because they were dying, but the color used clashed with my wedding colors. For the 200 I was charged for this bouquet, I can say I definitely DID NOT get what I paid for.I tried contacting the florist the day of my wedding as well as the day after and NEVER received a call back, reimbursement, or an apology for almost ruining my husband and I special day.I was also informed that the flowers were late getting to the venue

Nona Tai is amazing and a pleasure to work with. She is a excellent florist who will give you the freshest flowers at a reasonable rate.
