Green Leaf Designs is amazing! Shelby was so wonderful to work with! Her attention to detail is unreal, unlike anyone I have ever seen. She is so talented! We were so pleased with our wedding florals and the service that Shelby provided. She is so professional, kind, artistic, and really knows what she is doing! Our wedding was so beautiful and we owe it all to Green Leaf Designs! They made our dream wedding come true! I would recommend them to everyone!

Thank you, Shelby, Erika & the rest of Green Leaf Designs for making our big day so special!

Green Leaf Designs exceeded our expectations! We were very happy with the service from start to finish. Shelby is very professional and gets the job done right. She is very creative and can visualize exactly what you want for your special event. Our flowers and decor turned out just perfect for our wedding! Everything was exactly what we wanted with high attention to detail. Our guests could not stop complementing the flowers and decorations! We highly recommend Green Leaf Designs for any event!

I met with over 5 florists in Orange County, and decided on Green Leaf Designs. I had seen their work at a venue while I was shopping around for wedding venues, and I was very impressed. Shelby and team are extremely creative. We laid out the plan before the wedding, and on the day of, the team exceeded my expectations. Their designs were magnificent, colorful and unique and they really worked with all the assets of the venue. I can't say enough great things - same with my guests!

We cannot say enough good things about Shelby. From the beginning she was sweet and down to earth we knew we had found our florist. Shelby brought to life my wife's ideas and vision for our wedding.

When we arrived at the venue and witnessed her work we were blown away by how beautiful everything looked. Shelby paid extra attention to detail and made sure everything was perfect.

We highly recommend Shelby and we are proud to say she made our wedding that much more special.

Thanks Shelby!!

Agustin &...

I planned my wedding in Anaheim from Seattle... which was a challenge. One look at the Green Leaf Designs Website and I knew that I could trust Shelby and the other people at GLD to make my flowers gorgeous. And I was COMPLETELY RIGHT! The flowers on the day of the wedding were everything I dreamed of and more. Numerous people commented that they were the most beautiful bouquets and arrangements they'd ever seen (and these were vendors, not guests!). Green Leaf Designs took my amature ideas and made them in to elegant, beautiful designs.

Shelby was AMAZING & I would recommend Green Leaf as a florist to anyone getting married in the OC area. In the first meeting, I instantly felt as though she understood my likes, dislikes and the look I wanted for the wedding. Shelby even took the time to provide me with a detailed quote at the end of our first meeting, so I was able to walk away knowing she would be able to work with my budget, which was a huge relief.
Compared to some other florists I met with, Shelby had the most reasonable prices, and I felt like I received the best value for my flowers & rentals. To top it off, I could tell she cared about her work & would take the extra step to make sure it would be perfect. Like most men, my husband does not care much about flowers & he dubbed Shelby MVP on the wedding day because he was blown away by how beautiful she made the space look.
Shelby was extremely responsive & accommodating, especially when we had a few last minute add-ons & changes. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Green Leaf, and we still have guests commenting on how gorgeous the florals & decorations were at the wedding.

Thank you to Shelby & her team for making our special day so beautiful!...

I absolutely ADORED my wedding flowers. Shelby and co did such an amazing job. I asked for a rare flower, and she was able to pull everything together and made my dreams come true. Shelby is so nice, my mom, sister and I had a wonderful time planning everything with her. She is so talented and all of the flowers are breathtaking. AMAZING!!! :-D

Great florist. Erika did a fantastic job with my wife's vision. We wanted something very minimalistic and she pulled through with flying colors. She found the perfect purple orchids and emerged them in clear cylinders with floating candles. Three cylinders of descending heights arranged with flower petals and accenting candles. A perfect marriage of simplicity and style. The perfect touch were the crystals and LED lights in the centerpieces. She did a fantastic job and the centerpieces and the bouquets. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone.

Because of Green Leaf and Shelby, I heard all night, "This is the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen and been to." From the first day I met her, I knew should would do a fabulous job for my wedding and she exceeded my expectations. For the quality, price, performance, and all, she is the very best florsit in So Cal. I highly recommend Green Leaf for any event. I made the perfect choice for my wedding.

One Word.. "AWESOME". Green Leaf Designs are very creative. I chose them not only because they are easy to work with, but had awesome taste on floral designs and decor. I love their vintage and rustic decor items they had available to rent and also I love their modern day- chic approach to their floral designs. I loved my bouquet and the floral arrangements on my wedding cake & sweetheart table. BTW, SHELBY is awesome to work with! She is very laid back and super creative. When we met for the first time, I was asked to bring pictures of floral designs I liked from magazines and blogs. Surprisingly, many of the pictures I referenced were of weddings Green Leaf Designs did! Finding a florist is hard when you don't know anything about flowers or how to communicate exactly what you want. Luckily, Shelby was able to guide me into the direction I was going for thru all the samples/props she had her studio for visual reference. Prices are reasonable and service was great! I highly recommend them!!

Green Leaf Designs came through for us in a huge crunch! We had to fire our florist 2 weeks prior to our wedding, but Shelby fixed it all! We received so many compliments on our flowers. Our engaged friends asked us who did our flowers. She even gave us ideas on how to cut back the cost on our flowers. They were so easy to work with and had the experience to give us great advice. Thanks Green Leaf! You saved our wedding!

Green Lead Designs was fantastic. They did all the flowers for the church ceremony as well as for our reception. Shelby was very professional, taking notes on everything we discussed and had many displays/pictures to show us. I knew I had wanted to use lanterns as the centerpieces and Shelby was more than flexible in working with them. All the centerpieces, bridal bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets were beautiful and the flowers were really fresh. Many of our guests commented on how well the flowers worked with everything. We used black and white so Shelby ended up wrapping the stems of all the bridesmaid bouquets in black and white ribbon that looked great with the bridesmaids dresses. Shelby and Green Leaf Designs really listened to our ideas and incorporated them in our reception flowers and decor. I would recommend Shelby to any of my friends getting married.

Shelby was fantastic to work with! She understood the look I was going for and nailed all of the flowers and even added a few additional decorative elements which looked amazing.

Green Leaf Designs is amazing!! I have had a few friends use them for weddings and parties and the flowers and decor are always fabulous! They truly go the extra mile with special touches to make the event spectacular. Shelby is full of great ideas and really makes things come together especially when you aren't sure what you want. They are easy to work with and very good at working with your budget. You will NOT be disappointed!!

SHELBY from GREEN LEAF DESIGNS IS THE BESTTTT!!!!! She is SUCH a talented an amazing floral designer and I am so happy I had the opportunity to work with Shelby!!! She has to be the most PATIENT person I've ever met.

I had met with Shelby about a year before my wedding and I must've tweeked my order about 8 times through out the year and she always did it with a sweet smile. Shelby knew I had a vision and she totally was up for it and also offered me her professional and artisitc suggestions where needed and they were awesome! I definitely listened to whatever she said and all my floral pieces at my wedding were GORGEOUS!!! She designed all my flowers from the Tea ceremony to the Church Ceremony to the Reception site. We had a huge wedding of about 300 guests and Shelby perfected EVERYTHING. I was soooo amazed with the floral designs b/c they were just absolutely beautiful. They were stunning. So many of our guests kept talking about how beautiful and artistic our centerpieces were and I am so proud to say I worked with Green Leaf Designs! We did three different styled centerpieces at the wedding and it was such a great idea b/c it gave visual interest inside the ballroom for guests to look around and see how every 3rd table was different.

I absolutely LOVED my bridal bouquet. It was GORGEOUS and Shelby wrapped it with crystals and attached my locket and brooch I provided for her, on the bouquet for me. I asked for a BIG bouquet, and I got a HUGE bouquet! Loved it! The bridesmaids bouquet were sooo pretty as well that I wish I had TWO bouquets for myself! My bridesmaids loved their bouquets as well!

Shelby provided a floral trial for us at no cost, along with a bridal bouquet sample. It was SUCH a great way to see how your centerpieces will look like. She was so accommodating and was willing to do the floral trial at the tasting down at the hotel. It was the best idea yet b/c we the table set up with our linen and chair rentals , along with the centerpieces at the hotel. Floral trials was part of our package so it came at no additional costs. That was one of the important things I was looking for in a florist.

Everything was just beautiful. Shelby had really reasonable prices and she really worked with my budget, one of the #1 reasons why I loved Shelby. She came up with ways to help me stick with my budget without going overboard. She is so easy, so flexible, and most importantly, extremely professional. I really respected and trusted her completely. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Shelby as your floral designer at your wedding! Thank you SOOO MUCH, Shelby!!!!! - Michelle and Matt

We were referred to Green Leaf Designs by a distant acquaintance. Their location is really close to our venue and their pricing was reasonable so we decided to use them for our wedding.

Shelby, the owner, was very friendly and responded to my e-mail inquiries quickly. However, when you meet with her to discuss details, make SURE she writes down every detail exactly how you want them! I trusted her note-taking and we had a rather casual discussion of what we wanted, since I wasn't too picky about the type of flowers - just the colors (purple, ivory, yellow, green, bolder colors for reception, pastel colors for the outside ceremony). I asked for our cake flowers a couple of days before the wedding so I could take them to my baker so they could decorate it beforehand.

When I went to pick up my cake flowers, I was absolutely horrified. She had given me pale lavender roses (when I requested dark purple), a bunch of small, gardeny yellow flowers that weren't appropriate to put on a cake, and BLUE hydrangeas. Our dominant wedding color was purple, which I had meticulously gone over with her, yet she provided me with blue hydrangeas. Not only were the colors absolutely wrong, the pale lavender roses she gave me were withered. I left absolutely speechless, so stunned that I couldn't even protest. When I finally realized the urgency of the situation, I rushed over to Enchanted Florist, which was thankfully down the street from the cake bakery. The extremely friendly worker there helped me pick out beautiful calla lilies and dark purple sweet peas that ended up making the cake look absolutely gorgeous. I addressed my concern regarding the blue hydrangeas to Shelby, to which she replied that they were lavender. ...No, they were blue, but I didn't press the issue further.

On the actual wedding day, Shelby informed us that her associates would be setting up the ceremony site at noon at the latest. I asked my husband and the groomsmen to go to the ceremony site to pick up the flowers for our hair as well as the corsages. At 12:15PM, the florists were nowhere to be found, and they didn't show up until a good 15-20 minutes later. This caused a delay in the guys' hairstyling, which also pushed back our entire hair/makeup schedule.

As for the quality of the bouquet flowers - they were satisfactory, but not excellent. I could tell the flowers were older and not handled in optimal conditions. Our bouquets looked very pretty from afar, but closer inspection revealed that they were starting to wither. This may have been solved by a few minutes of the florist's time pruning the flowers, but that obviously did not happen.

In summary, I would hesitate to recommend Green Leaf Designs...if I were to do it again, I'd invest the extra money and go with Enchanted Florist.

PS - At the end of the night, we found out our bouquets were wrapped with condoms. Don't know if this is normal procedure for all florists or not but...either way, it was kind of gross.

5 Stars all the way! Shelby designed the ceremony and the reception flowers. She was excited about my baroque theme and even made my ideas better. She went above and beyond my expectations. Everyone said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. I give her all the credit!

Shelby is amazing! She gave me exactly what I wanted...would recommend her to anyone!

Shelby was great to work with! She was very flexible and accommodating. During our conversations with her, we found her very easy to talk to due to her down to earth personality. I loved my bouquet and MOH bouquets. I was even able to rent my 4-pole arch from her. I took off one star for responsiveness because I sometimes did not hear back within a couple days regarding an email inquiry and one star off for value because all of the groom's and groomsmen's boutonniers started to fall apart pretty early during the day (which was partially because of the type of flower), but they probably could have been secured a little better.

Shelby was amazing! I would recommend her to all my friends. My wedding was the talk of the town because the flowers were so gorgeous! My bouquet was so beautiful that I couldn't stop looking at it. Overall I was very happy with her and her designs.
Cheers!

I meet Shelby at a wedding show And I immediately fell in love with her ideas. Her flowers were on display all over the show and I knew I had to set up a consultation with her. I meet with her with my mom and bff. The three of us left her house so excited about all the ideas she came up with. Our budget wasn't very big and she was willing to work with us. I wanted to do half of the centerpieces myself and she said if i dropped them off to her she would set it all up for me.She meet us at our venue for our mock up and my bouquet was amazing as well as our centerpieces. I could not wait to see her fabulous work the day of our wedding. She called me the Friday before my wedding just to tell me that she found the most beautiful orange dahlias. The day of our wedding our flowers did not disappoint. She did a fabulous job. We got so many complements on our flowers. I am so thankful for Shelby in so many ways. Her flowers and the way that she goes over and beyond for her clients is priceless. We did not buy flowers for our cake but she took the extra step and covered the top as well as the tables with the most beautiful flowers. I have a picture of our cake on our refrigerator because i love the flowers so much. She did so many customized things for us I could literally go on for ever. I highly recommend her and trust me you will not be disappointed.

I absolutely loved working with Shelby. She is so creative, professional, helpful and fun to work with. She made our wedding day look gorgeous; you could tell she sincerely wanted everything to look great and go smoothly. From the start, Shelby listened to my vision, she completely grasped it and made it look 10x better. I had complete trust in her and her team and felt super comfortable with her. If I were to do it again, I would definitely choose Shelby and Green Leaf Designs, hands down. I can't thank you enough, Shelby. I was referred to you and plan to refer my friends as well. I know they will all love you, too!

Shelby and her staff did an AMAZING job for our wedding! She knew exactly the look we were going for and everything turned out better than I had even imagined. Shelby's staff was at the venue early setting up and were still there when we were leaving taking everything down. They really put a lot of effort into making everything so beautiful and it showed. We got so many compliments on the flowers and our guests loved that they were able to take home the centerpieces. Shelby is easy to work with and is very patient and sweet. I'm so glad we chose Green Leaf to make our day special!

Shelby did an AMAZING job with ALL the floral arrangements for our wedding, from my bouquet, to the bridesmaids, to the aisle, to the centerpieces!! Honestly, I got so many compliments, and couldn't have asked for anything better!!! I hightly recommend!!

I LOVED my flowers and the over all decor at our wedding!!!! Shelby was amazing! She actually came in UNDER budget and exceeded all of my expectations!!! Her ideas were so amazing and after only showing her a few pictures that I had torn out of magazines, she knew exactly what I was looking for! She added little touches to tables and the venue that I hadn't even asked for!!!! I could not have been more pleased with everything! I recommend Green Leaf Designs to EVERYONE I know!!!!!

Shelby is a wonderful, talented, creative and sweet person! Shelby did such an excellent job at the wedding. The flowers were beautiful. The bouquets, arch, centerpieces, cake stand, ceremony decor...everything was absolutely gorgeous! I had a hard time explaining to her what I envisioned for my wedding, but she worked with me and listened to me and I was left speechless. It was more than I could ever ask for. My guests absolutely loved the flowers--I dont think there was one centerpiece left over at the end of the night!

Shelby, thank you!!! Everything was stunning!!!!

Shelby is wonderful. She is talented and creative. She listens to what we wanted and created exactly what me and my fiance envisioned (actually they were better than we envisioned) at the wedding. Everyone loved the flowers at the wedding. She also provide centerpiece and bouquet mock-up which is great. Her price is also extremely reasonable and the quality of her work and flower definitely surpasses the price. I would not hesitate to recommend Shelby to anyone. Thanks Shelby for making the wedding look great!

Where do I even begin? Shelby and her crew were awesome! We didn't have a lot of money because I had been laid off 2 months into my wedding planning. I didn't get enough money for flowers until 2 WEEKS before the wedding! I contacted Shelby and she got everything together for me right away. Even though we were on a limited budget, she was able to work out every detail I wanted. I can't thank her enough for our beautiful flowers. Especially my bouquet. I still can't get over how beautiful it all was. Thank you again Shelby! I will definitely tell everyone all about Green Leaf Designs!

Shelby with Green Leaf Designs is wonderful. She is very creative and the work she does is superb. She offers a lot of options and works with her brides to make sure they get exactly what they want. She is wonderful!

Shelby of Green Leaf Designs did a wonderful job with the flowers for our wedding! She was a pleasure to work with with! She listened to exactly what my fiance and I asked for. She made us sample centerpieces and she made a sample bouquet. Everyone at our wedding commented on how beautiful our flowers were. The flowers she used looked great, were very vibrant, and were perfect in every way. In fact, my bouquet is still alive and my wedding was 3 weeks ago!!! Shelby was recommended to us by a friend and I am soooo glad we chose her as our florist. I would definitely recommend her to anyone! Her work is absolutely beautiful!

Sheilby was terrific! I have never seen flowers so beautiful as I did on my wedding day! She was a HUGE help on deciding how to decorate the boquets. She added her special touch! I would reccommend her 100 percent!

I was very please with working with Green Leaf Designs. They were very professional and worked with my budget. My bouquets and table centerpieces were so pretty. I got many compliments on them!

Shelby of Green Leaf Designs did a fabulous job on my ceremony and reception flowers. I knew generally what I wanted, and Shelby came up with ideas and types of flowers to create my vision. She took the time to understand what I wanted and made any changes I requested. She is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about floral design. My arrangements were breathtaking, and I received a lot of complements on them. My tall centerpieces were huge. My bouquet was exactly what I wanted and smelled delicious. The groom's and groomsmen's boutonnieres didn't hold up so well, but that's probably because of the flowers I chose. Green Leaf's pricing is fair. Shelby will work with your budget, but that usually means limiting your flower selection or number. I would recommend Green Leaf Designs.

Shelby was such a pleasure to work with. I went to her with a thought and she made it a reality. She has such great ideas and really knows how to expand on a theme.

She always had suggestions on how to incorporate my beach themed wedding with beautiful cascading centerpieces and an absolutely arrangement on the arch used during the ceremony. The way she added to the sign in table and the cupcake table was amazing! She even helped me with how to make the table cards work on the table.

She made my day - knowing that I was in good hands. I had no stress because I had such wonderful vendors - especially Shelby.

I loved the flowers on our wedding day! Shelby really made our vision come to life. I met with her early on and she was very friendly and receptive. Always quick to respond to questions via email. At my flower mock-up trial, I wasn't totally satisfied with the centerpieces so Shelby was happy to make any changes I wanted. When I arrived at the venue before the wedding, I was blown away with the ceremony decor and the reception decor. Everything was vibrant and just how I had envisioned it. Her prices are very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend Shelby!

Shelby Nolan of Green Leaf Designs was a pleasure to work with. She was receptive to my ideas and very flexible when asked to make changes. On the day of the wedding, everything looked better than I had imagined. The flowers were fresh and full and she added little touches of flowers everywhere. Guests commented repeatedly on how beautiful the room looked. I would highly recommend this florist!

Shelby at Greenleaf Designs was so wonderful to work with. She is so accessible and always answered all my questions and/or concerns so promptly. She is very talented and creative and put together an amazing look for my ceremony and my reception. I was blown away at all the little details that she added. My bouquet was gorgeous!!! She even has it featured on her website. Her prices are very reasonable and definitely surpasses the quality of the products and service.

Such a nice person to work with and prices are very reasonable. Flowers were gorgeous.

Shelby Nolan, of Green Leaf Designs, was a pleasure to work with. A friend of mine recommended her to me and I am so glad I went with Shelby. She had a lot of ideas and really reasonable prices (compared to other florists, such as petals by xavi). Her creations are beautiful and I got so many compliments on my ceremony arch, bouquet, and centerpieces. She works out of orange county, but services extend to Orange & LA county areas.

Shelby put all of our flowers together for the day at Bowers Museum - altar, aisle, centerpieces, bouquets, boutaineers, everything! They did such an amazing job, definitely check out the professional photos on my profile. LOVED my bouquet, so colorful and perfect. Check out how many rose petals she threw down in the aisle! The centerpieces were awesome, and she decorated the cake/cake table as well. Pricing is fair and she is VERY helpful with ideas and suggestions.

Shelby Nolan is an exceptionally gifted designer who is not only adept at creating fresh, modern, stunning arrangements and floral decor, but also at working with various budgets in a wholly cheerful, flexible way.

Her work is gorgeous, and she's a doll to boot. You cannot ask for a better vendor or partner.

Shelby of Green Leaf Designs and her team are spectacular! Shelby creates gorgeous florals that completely fit your style as a bride and makes your ceremony and reception look beautiful! Her service to the bride is a top priority - I remember we were setting up for a wedding and we were about to give the bouquets out. Shelby noticed one of the bouquets of roses was more pink rather than a bright magenta like the bride wanted. She created a brand new, beautiful bouquet on the spot, before we gave them to the bridal party. This service and attention to detail is just one of the things that makes her fabulous! I would highly recommend her for any wedding or any event.

Green Leaf Designs creates some of the most beautiful & unique floral arrangements I have seen. Shelby is a lovely person, great to work with & everyone who meets her just loves her.

She uses the freshest of flowers, creating stunning artwork that's unique to you & your event, & her creative style is reflected through every piece that she creates!

I recently worked with Green Leaf Designs on a wedding and they were amazing. Shelby and her team made my job so much easier and all the flowers looked gorgeous!

Shelby and her team are always a joy to work with. Not only are they good at their craft but they are always a team player, arrive on time and fun to work with. I recommend them all the time which is a compliment because we only recommend the best!

Ok, so what can I say about the Fabulous floral designer Shelby Nolan? Well everything positive! She is so great to work with and always goes the extra mile for all my clients. I love designing each and every event with her. If you are looking for an affordable florist with a flair for style and design...look no further than Green Leaf Designs!
