Reviews for Flowers Etc
GUEST




Unfortunately my experience with Flowers Etc was not as good as recent brides. If you scroll to some of the original reviews they are similar to my experience. I chose Flowers Etc. and Debbie based on Wedding Wire and Yelp reviews. She was everything that I previously read about until the actual day of my wedding....
I saw Debbie on three occasions, providing pictures of my centerpieces with the size and color of the succulents I was looking for. I purchased the 6x6 glass vases, the sea shells and sea glass to fill about 2/3 of the square vase. I had a picture of a magazine and explained I liked the vase but the succulents on top were to be larger rosettes. She said no problem and quote me 30.00 per centerpiece for the large succulents labor and sand. I thought the price was fair. Unfortunately when I arrived to my reception and saw the centerpieces I was really bummed out. The sand and sea shells filled 3/4 of the vase and there were 4 or 5 tiny clippings of succulents with two of the kinds I specifically told her I didn't want. Not one centerpiece had a large flowering succulent in it. I was also charged 15.00 for a 5 to 6 inch succulent to sit on top of our cheese cake (wedding cake). What I got was a 1 to 2 inch clipping.
I arrived to the reception site prior to my ceremony and was surprised to see that Debbie wasn't even there. On my last meeting with her when I dropped off a parking pass, I said "see you Saturday'. At no time during any of the visit did she say she would be sending staff members. At this point I decide not to let this negative experience ruin my day.
I must say the ceremony site did look great, but was not what we originally agreed up and there was not one succulent at the alter or down the aisle. I'm not exactly sure why Debbie fell short on my wedding, but it seemed like she couldn't get the size or type of succulent I was looking for, so instead of calling me last minute she chose to send her assistance to finish a job I hired her for. It has been about two weeks since our event and she is the only vendor to not do a fall...

Flowers etc is WONDERFUL. I just had my wedding last weekend, it was a huge wedding and we didn't spare any costs and the flowers were beyond stunning. The centerpieces literally took my breath away they were so beautiful. I received a ton of compliments as well. Debbie and her team were very professional and so easy to work with. She was honest and flexible and really listened to what I wanted, I loved them and would recommend them to everyone.
GUEST




Debbie from Flowers Etc did a beautiful job on our wedding. I basically just said all white flowers, simple, beautiful & gave her my budget. She did more than I could have imagined! She stayed well within our budget and the flowers were so beautiful! She is very nice and easy to work with. I am so happy with our wedding flowers! Use Flowers Etc they are awesome!
GUEST




Debbie was great to work with. From our initial meeting I knew that I wanted to work with her. She is so knowledgeable and talented yet truly listened to all of my ideas and enriched my vision. She was able to work within our budget and gave us ideas on how we could save more. I truly loved my bouquet and all of the other arrangements were so beautiful. I would recommend Flowers Etc for any event.
GUEST




I was referred to Flowers, Etc through my venue because centerpieces were included with my package. Debbie and her crew were great. I brought in pictures of what I had in mind and she helped create everything within my budget. For my centerpieces, Debbie worked a design that kept us within the allowance.
She was promt in delivering the flowers to my house, the venue and my husbands house. She was always so nice to talk to and was good at helping calm my nervous mind.
The flowers were beautiful. They were exactly what we were looking for. I'm so thankful for all their hard work.
GUEST




Debbie from Flowers Etc is awesome to work with. She helps you by working with your budget and giving you exactly what you want for the price you want. I didn't realize you can still achieve a certain look if you change a few different flowers that are more affordable. She had great suggestions, very flexible and the great thing is she blew my mind at the mock up samples! She's worth every penny if not more! Thank you for making my evening so beautiful!
GUEST




Working with Debbie was the best (easiest) part of my wedding planning. I had met with 4 other florists before her and after our meeting I knew she was the one. She is extremely professional, has very elegant taste, is pleasant and very talented!
My flowers were even more beautiful than I had imagined. Debbie made our venue look spectacular. I recommend her 100%.
GUEST




Debbie was great to work with and did an amazing job for the wedding. My wife had some ideas about what she wanted and Debbie did a great job of creating not just what she wanted but adding her expertise to make everything very beautiful and more than we expected. We had a few last minute changes and they were handled easily. Great job!!!
GUEST




Debbie is the sweetest lady. She knows a lot about flowers and will create whatever you dream up. She's professional and personable. She did an amazing jobs with all my wedding flowers and I was very pleased with how everything came out. Debbie is also very flexible and allows you to make changes up until 2 weeks prior to the wedding. She's easy to talk to and really tries to get to know you as the bride. Flowers Etc. is the perfect choice for your wedding flowers. You will not be disappointed.
GUEST




Flowers Etc should be your number one consideration for your event. The flowers and our centerpieces were breathtaking for our wedding and we received many compliments from our guests. Debbie Jacobsen created beautiful bouquets of flowers for our color scheme of purple and orange. Her creativity and the quality of service exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Flowers Etc!
GUEST




I loved Debbie at Flowers Etc. She was very willing to work with me and her flowers turned out gorgeous!
GUEST




Debbie did a fantastic job. She was very flexible and accommodating.
The flowers were lovely.
GUEST




Let me start by saying my flowers were absolutely perfect! They were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. From my first meeting with Debbie, I knew I didn't need to look any further for a florist! I went in just knowing I wanted a bright spring bouquet and she immediately started making suggestions. The end product was exactly what I wanted. Debbie is great at what she does and I highly recommend her to all brides!
GUEST




"WOW!" that is what our guests said when they saw our centerpieces on each guest table at the reception. Our church was very strict with the altar arrangements--only two, no flower petals for the flower girl and no aisle decorations... but Debbie was familiar with the church and she created masterpieces for the altar that were transferrable to our Sweetheart Table at the reception. When I booked my appointment with Debbie and told her that we wanted Notre Dame colors, she didn't bat an eye. Debbie gave me the flower choices and ribbon trims that would work best and would make the best impression. Our flower girl carried a pomander ball. The boutonnieres and bouquets were outstanding! I can't say enough!
GUEST




Debbie did an amazing job on my flowers for the wedding. My main color was royal blue and flowers do not come in those colors. She did a great job at putting together blue flowers with other accent colors to make beautiful arrangements. I was unsure how the flowers were going to come together, but they were more amazing than I ever envisioned. The site that we got married at was relatively new and since the gazebo was so big I was not sure how to decorate it, but she came in with a beautiful design.
GUEST

Debbie at Flowers Etc was great! She was sweet and friendly and made me feel comfortable and I knew she would do everything to ensure my flowers and centerpieces were perfect! She not only did my bouquets and vases for the centerpieces she set up everything at the Reception site, including placing all my candles and decorations. She and her team went above and beyond my expectations to ensure that my day was perfect! And my flowers were better than I imagined!
GUEST




Flowers etc. was so wonderful to work with during the wedding planning process. They have wonderful ideas and do excellent work. Debbie is so fun to work with and provides great suggestions and inspiration if you are in need of help or direction. I was not very familiar with the types of flowers I wanted to use, but I had a specific vision in mind. Debbie helped my vision come to fruition and my wedding was a dream come true.
I would strongly recommend using Flowers, etc. for your wedding!
GUEST




Flowers Etc did a great job on all the little details for my wedding. The centerpieces were great, bouquet's were perfect, corsages and boutonnieres were impeccable. It was so easy to work with Debbie and we met many times to discuss what was needed and any changes that I needed to make. There was only one minor glitch - the vases for the bouquets were to be on the cocktail tables, and ended up on the actual tables for the bridesmaids... Not quite what I wanted but no big deal - everything was gorgeous!
GUEST




I really liked the work that flowers ect. provided for my wedding. Everything was beautiful and I got so many complements from my guests. They did a great job!!
GUEST




i cannot say enough wonderful things about debbie and alicia at flowers, etc. these women made my daughters wedding...to quote the guests..."magical, enchanting and beautiful" they were so flexible and accomodating and really bent over backwards to make sure we were happy with any and all decisions and i even ended up asking wedding advice beyond the "flower" stuff and was always answered with patience and wisdom...love them!!!
p.s. these are the same ladies that we were purchasing corsages from when my kids were in high school...and they were wonderful then too!
GUEST




Debbie and the others from flowers ect did an amazing job! not only did the flowers turn out amazing but they made me feel so at peace with everything! I had so many people comment on how amazing the flowers turned out! My boquette was my favorite and I cannot stop looking at pictures of it! Their work completed my wedding!
GUEST




Debbie was a FABULOUS florist. She had ideas I would have never thought of. She was always available. I never felt nervous or worried about what my wedding would look like. Her arrangements were gorgeous, way beyond my dreams. Thank you Debbie!
GUEST




Debbie at Flowers Etc. is simply put-amazing! Debbie is so easy and fun to work with. She made it especially easy as our geographical differences could have proved difficult (we live in England and married in So. Cal)!
We really looked forward to the pre-wedding meetings where she took all our wants/needs into account and really paid attention! The flowers the day of our wedding were perfect, everything we asked for and more!
Thanks to all of her team as well! The day of went smoothly and was executed without a hitch!
xoxo
GUEST




Debbie and her staff went above and beyond for creating such great flower/arrangements for our Wedding day!
GUEST




It was very fun working with Flowers Etc. They exceeded my expectation and made my vision come to life. The flowers we got from there were really beautiful. I would definitely recommend them.
GUEST




The flowers were beautiful and everyone at Flowers Etc. was a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend them for any occasion. Thank you again.
GUEST
GUEST




I could not have asked for a more talented, amazing florist! Debbie and her team created an absolute fantasy of floral designs at our wedding ceremony and reception. I was speechless when I first walked into our reception venue to see just how magical her work truly is! During our several meetings in preparation for my special day, I felt completely comfortable with Debbie, as she listened to exactly what I pictured and created exquisite designs from those ideas. I would recommend every bride to meet with Debbie right away! Once you spend time with her and see her amazing work, you will immediately want her to be your wedding florist. In addition to those reasons, she does this amazing work for an extremely affordable price. You can't beat it!
GUEST




Debbie was amazing!! Super fun, young and knows what she's doing. Very flexible in meeting times and knows exactly what you want from the first meeting. The flowers turned out better than we could have ever imagined and completely made the wedding. Thank you so much!
GUEST




Flowers Etc. went above and beyond all my expectations for our wedding flowers. They really listened to what my vision was and made it come to life even better than I had imagined. The best part was they kept it in my specified budget as well. They were great to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone!
GUEST




Debbie did a wonderful job and turned my wedding into a fairytale!
Gorgeous flowers only go so far without a great sense of style and a good eye which Debbie has.
With the stress of being a bride it was refreshing to not have to worry about the flowers, I knew I was in capable hands. The day of the wedding, she was able to help put everything together and keep everything well running and organized.
GUEST




Everyone at Flowers Etc were so helpful. They treated my like I was the most important Bride in the world. We had somewhat of an idea of what we were looking for and they helped make our vision come to life. We are still getting compliments on our flowers. My bouquet was exactly what I invisioned! We will and already have referred them to our friends.
GUEST




Debbie was a pleasure to work with and was extremely responsive and flexible. Two days before our wedding I called and asked her to bump up the drop off time by a couple of hours, and she said it was no problem. I changed several details between our initial consultation and the wedding, and they accomodated all my requests and did everything perfectly. The flowers were exactly what I had expected!
GUEST




Read entire review: this company is very professional, well put together, flexible, etc. They did a great job in all of the planning stages and everything. I was very happy until I actually saw the flowers. They delivered something completely different than we had talked about. I even gave them pages of pictures of what I wanted and it was so wrong. Luckily it got fixed by a friend at the wedding because I had highlighter yellow and bright red flowers in a bouquet that was supposed to be a bright orange color that I even supplied swatches for. If you are doing a normal color in your bouquet...use them, but if you request something out of the ordinary - beware. Good deals and prices though...just didn't deliver what I wanted.
GUEST




Debbie was great to work with. She had a lot of good ideas and made it very easy to communicate my own ideas to her. The flower arrangements turned out beautiful--I got so many compliments on them! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful flowers for their wedding.
GUEST




I loved that all my ideas were taken into consideration. The only thing i was disappointed was on my wedding day so many little things were forgotten- for example water was suppose to be in vases with candles( no water in vases) - also down the aisles we we had agreed upon was no done. Also some employees were very rude with my guest at wedding while setting up.Alicia was great with ideas and really understood what i wanted.
Vendor response to review
As a favor we offered to put the candles inside the vases provided by the Bride. The candles that were supplied were non floating votive candles. As far as the staff being rude, in the last 17 years of being in business I have never had a complaint of a staff member being rude especially while setting up a wedding!
GUEST




I had a great time working with the girls from flowers etc. They made it easy for me explain my vision for my wedding, and had many different ideas to help me keep the cost down and within our budget.
GUEST




Flowers Etc., they were very good, they were there on time for setup, they were fast & their staffs have been very nice & helpful & were willing to make a lot of adjustments for me. The only thing is that I think my bouquet was a little plainer/whiter than I had expected.
GUEST




I LOVED my flowers at my wedding. They were the highlight of my evening. Flowers Etc went above and beyond my expectations that I had for them. Everything from my bouquet to the petals on the aisle were exceptionally done and I would recommend them to anyone I know who is getting married. My family and I have used them for every special occassion that we have had ever I first met them last August, from baby showers to 50th birdthday parties they have delivered each and everytime.
GUEST




I was so disappointed with Flowers, etc. I had read such great things, and they seemed so nice, flakey and not great at returning phone calls or e-mails, but nice. However, when I arrived at my wedding venue, I discovered that certain flowers I'd paid for (and paid extra for!) were simply not there. And what was there was not put together the way we had planned. I tried to call their office, but they were closed with no emergency number or anything on the voicemail, so I was just screwed. AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM SINCE. I cannot imagine someone trusting me with one of the most important events of their life, messing up, then completely ignoring them. It's completely unprofessional, thoughtless, and frankly, criminal. Do not be fooled by their good prices like I was. You get what you pay for...actually with Flowers, Etc you get less than what you pay for.




I worked with Alicia at Flowers Etc and had a really good experience. I was on a pretty tight budget and I was amazed at how honest she was about ways I could save money. They let me provide my own vases (saved me so much!!!) and showed me some of their inexpensive flowers I could use so I wouldn't have to sacrifice the "fullness" of my centerpieces. I never felt like they were trying to sell me or make me spend more money. On our wedding day I was in love with all of the flowers and they looked exactly the way they did when they showed me the "preview" flowers months before. They also had some extra flowers and used them on the favor and placecard tables (something I had skimped on to save money)...I wouldn't guarantee that they will always have extra flowers I think I might have been lucky :)
GUEST




Alicia and Debbie at Flowers Etc. were AMAZING!!! I asked questions and they answered, I changed details and the accomodated me. I had nothing to worry about with them handling the flowers. They listened to me and knew exactly what I wanted. When they delivered the bouquets to my hotel room when I was getting ready I almost cried... the flowers were more beautiful than I could have imagined. And in regards to cost... I got more from them for the price than any other flower company I received a quote from. I highly recommend and would use them again for any future event.
GUEST




Debbie and her stuff did a such a GREAT job with the flowers for my wedding!! Everyone complimented on how great they looked and how long they lasted after the wedding (we gave away the centerpieces). I had changed my mind a few times on the colors and flowers I wanted and she did such a good job working with me on that! I would recommend her to everyone I know! In fact, my brother was married a few months later and they used her as well! =)
THANK YOU!!!




Flowers Etc was AMAZING! I loved working with Debbie. She was easy to get ahold of, fun, creative and most of all does beautiful work. The one thing I kept hearing about at my wedding and even after was how spectacular my flowers were. Debbie was able to capture the picure of exactly what I wanted and then some. I was so sad to let my bouquet die after the wedding was all done becuase it was so amazing. Their prices were a great value for the quality of workmanship that I got. We constantly talked about the design right up to the wedding and she was more than willing to make changes to our order by adding in things at the last minute. I didn't have to worry one bit that my flowers were going to be amazing. She showed up to the wedding early and even went back to the shop to get flower petals for our tables after the tables were all set up because she thought it just needed something more. Talk about personal service!
I would recomend Flowers etc without hesitation!
GUEST




I could not have been happier with Flowers Etc. They were incredibly kind and enthusiastic about our wedding. Alicia immediatly understood my vision and came up with amazing ideas that fit within not only my picture of the wedding but within the budget as well. We looked at 3 other florists and no one else came close to the price or seemed to be able to grasp the concept I was going for. A few days before I asked them for some extra petals to put on the cocktail tables and they just took care of it. They even threw in extra flowers for our archway day of. If you want excellent customer service and incredible flowers at a great price this is the place to go.
GUEST




Flowers Etc. was the best recommendation received from a fellow friend who was getting married a month before me. The entire experience was great. Alicia helped me pick the right flowers for my small and intimate wedding. I also had last minute changes to my bouquet that were done without questions or concerns.
Flowers Etc delivered my flowers (bouquet) to my hotel room early in the morning and returned later that afternoon to put fresh flowers on my cake. That was unexpected and just speaks volumes of the quality of work they deliver. I would recommend them to any and every bride! You will certainly not be disappointed.
GUEST




Flowers Etc. did my Newport Beach yacht wedding and I have not stopped recommending them ever since. Their pricing was absolutely excellent, and what we received for our budget was amazing, way more than expected. They spent a lot of time with me planning and designing every single detail, never once did I feel rushed. The ladies at Flowers Etc. made me feel that my wedding was THE most important event they had going on, which was a far cry from some of the high-priced floral boutiques I had checked with before deciding to book with Flowers, Etc. They were professional, communicative, and listened carefully to all of my specific requests and wishes. They provided excellent feedback and helped me to come up with a very generous floral package that was perfect for our big day.
On the day of the wedding, their staff was early to my location, and totally equipped. I didn't have to tell them one single thing, they just got to work and made everything look absolutely amazing in a short time. I even had some custom touches (like hand strung crystals that they added to the bouquets and also hung around the ceremony area), and they were happy to include that extra work for me. The flowers were fresh, vibrant and fragrant, and lasted for at least a week after the wedding.
From one picky bride to another, this is THE best florist in Orange County, and I would never choose another florist for any special event.
GUEST




I live in Northwest Arkansas and only wanted the BEST flowers and decor for my wedding in Fayetteville, Arkansas in October 2008. I knew there was no better company than Flowers Etc! I worked directly with Debbie and Alicia. Working long distance never was a problem. They were always available to help with any and all questions. Alicia worked behind the scenes at the wedding to make sure that the day was as smooth as possible. All of the flowers were fresh and the arrangements were beautiful! The value of the services and flowers was above and beyond. Flowers Etc helped to create the wedding of my dreams! I would recommend Flowers Etc to anyone living anywhere in the country! 5 STAR Company!!!
GUEST




I had all my personal flowers done by them. i thought that my bouquets were done well (1 bridal bouquet and 4 bridesmaid bouquets). However my floral arch did not fair to well. It looked like a dried up branch during the ceremony. The boutonierres and corsages were pretty average looking (8 corsages and 14 boutonnierres). It just didn't seem there was much effort to make them look as nice as they could. I was disappointed. If I would do it again. i would be more specific with what I would like the boutonnieres to look like and corsages.
However, they are easy to work with when you are planning a wedding from the opposite coast. I thought that their paper work was easy to get through. Their offices are nice and they had tons of picturebooks to look through which had flowers by color. The people working there knew their flowers well.
GUEST




My wedding day was a dream come true! I couldn't have been happier and my wedding reception couldn't have been more beautiful and it was all because of Alicia Vaughn and Flowers Etc. They do great work, they have great ideas! They are creative and professional! If you don't work with them then you're crazy!
Debbie at Flowers Etc is AMAZING! Her personable nature and passion for flowers is infectious! She knows her trade well, and always produces amazing florals tailored to the bride's decor, colors, and budgets. Her little flip books are a super helpful visual for finding flowers in season in the wedding colors. I highly recommend Flowers Etc!
We have had the honor of working with Flowers Etc and their work is amazing. One of the things we look at in order to refer our brides to a florist are the following.
* Do they offer quality customer service (will they return your calls/emails)
* What do the centerpieces and flowers look like
* Do they show up on time, clean and presentable
* What do brides say when they see the flowers (positive)
Every time we work with Flowers Etc. they are amazing in every category. The work is amazing, they return your calls, they are flexible to the brides designs and wishes but most important, the brides are ALWAYS in awe when the see the flowers for the first time.
I strongly recommend you meeting with Flowers Etc. to see if they can create the vision you are looking for as they are one...
