Nicole Ha

We got married in Napa at Auberge du Soleil this past summer. Nicole did a magnificent job with our decor and flowers! We wanted an English garden theme with pastel soft colors and Nicole delivered beautifully. Our guests keep talking about beautiful the place was. Nicole is very easy to work with and goes the extra mile for her clients. Her floral arrangements and decorations are artistic, modern and beautiful. I have referred her to many of my friends and family, and everyone has been very happy with her work.

Nicole Ha is truly an amazing florist! From the moment we met, she understood my vision. I was looking for a timeless romantic look with mostly white with accents of peach, sage green and butter yellow. The day of my wedding, the flowers were absolutely gorgeous! It was exactly what I had envisioned. Besides her talent for floral design, she is the sweetest person and a joy to work with. Thank you so much Nicole, my wedding was more beautiful then I could ever have imagined!

I hate to write a bad review but this one deserves it! I had heard about Nicole Ha even before i was engaged. I knew she was one of the vendors i had to have at my wedding. I contacted Nicole almost a year before my wedding and we met up and i was really excited to work with her. She had all these ideas and was going to send me a proposal/quote. She was super sweet and i was really excited! Until the unfortunate happened...I waited and waited and nothing. I finally started contacting her, at least half a dozen times by phone and email and i got nothing. I just wanted my proposal that she had promised to send. I came to the conclusion that this is her way of not working with you if your budget is not up to her standards. My budget was quite reasonable considering the research i did and comparisons with other florist. I gave her an average amount and was willing to spend more if needed. It's already stressful to plan a wedding, let alone have a non responsive vendor. I wasted my time and waited for her for nothing. I finally gave up on her because it wasn't worth it to me if i finally got a hold of her. What if it took her weeks or months to reply to another email or question i had. I just couldn't deal with that. It's one thing to be busy but this was completely unprofessional. This was the single vendor that i had an issue with. Every other florist i contacted got back to me at a reasonable amount of time. I just can't believe someone could run their business with this much lack of professionalism. I at least deserved ONE email back. So, if you plan to contact her, you'd better be prepared to offer her a lot of money or don't even try.

Nicole is absolutely unbelievable!!! She is truly gifted at what she can create!! I did not have any idea as to what i was imaging and after a looooong first meet she nailed it!!! I was looking for the vintage, old Hollywood glamor thing and after talking to her i was absolutely gitty.. I am also jewish so there were some added elements that i needed like a Huppah.. we were also using 3 spaces and all of them needed flowers.. She put together spectacular centerpieces that people are still talking about to this day.. almost 5 months later.. the huppah that she designed for me was spectacular.. i saw one on an episode of say yes to the dress but couldnt get the exact details since i forgot to save the episode.. she had to come up with it on her own and i am so glad that i didnt save it. Nicole is truly amazing and anyone would be lucky to have her do their flowers for their wedding!! she is an amazing person inside and out and truly takes what she does to heart.. down to the last detail!!

I knew Nicole was the one I wanted as my wedding florist as soon as I met her. She was sweet and easy to work with. During our initial meeting, I explained to her I was looking for something simple. Despite the low budget, Nicole made me feel very comfortable and gave me wonderful ideas. I was impressed by her flexibility and her obvious love for weddings. When my wedding plan changed and I decided to increase my floral budget, Nicole again was very accommodating, giving me wonderful new ideas.

Then 3 days before the wedding, something unexpected happened, requiring that I once again rethink the whole floral concept. Nicole jumped in to save the day. I decided to place complete trust in her and forgo a viewing of the new design mock-up. When I showed up at my reception, I was completely blown away by how beautiful everything was. The floral arrangements were above and beyond what I had hoped for. Nicole not only put together amazing looking centerpieces, she took care of the whole look of the place, she even made the waiters refold the napkins to make them look better!

I thank Nicole from the bottom of my heart for giving me a beautiful and unforgettable wedding.

Nicole is amazing!!! How can one not like what she does? Everyone in the wedding love her work!!! Few of our guests who are in the high end event planning business thought her work was simply marvellous:) She brought all the elements together; simple, elegant, and romantic. Though it was not her job, she kindly helped us with finding the right theme and I can't thank her enough for helping us to pull the wedding together.

She is highly recommended for sure!

Nicole was actually the first vendor I contacted before I even knew the wedding date or venue. Her work is impeccable and truly breathtaking! I heard about Nicole through PW and previous clients. Nicole met me at a coffee shop near my work. She showed me her work and asked me what I envisioned for the wedding. She was prompt in her e-mail responses and very patient when I made changes in the contract. I think she revised 5+ contracts but never complained once. She will work within your budget and accommodate you.

When we went over seasonal flowers during December, none of them appealed to me. I really wanted peonies and she suggested I import them. I never thought it could be an option. She also suggested garden roses and ranunculus.

When Nicole and I first discussed the feel of the wedding, we were leaning towards beach accents. Because our venue was by the water, I thought it was only right to do shells, sands, etc. When I went to Nicole's studio, she showed me our trial tall centerpiece and pomander ball. They were lush, gorgeous, and the colors were beautiful. I saw the shells and accents but something didn't feel right. I didn't realize it until I got home. I wanted a winter feel and the beach accents needed to be eliminated. I was hesitant in telling Nicole but she totally understood. I told her we need to make it "sparkle" more! So we brainstormed faux diamonds, floating flowers, and more candles. We met the next day at our rentals appointment and she brought back a tall centerpiece with the changes. I fell in love immediately!

On the wedding day, Nicole surprised me in ways I can't even explain. The flowers, pomander balls, centerpieces were amazingly beautiful! My bouquet had faux diamonds too, swoon! This is exactly why she was the first vendor I contacted! Her talent and creativity is limitless, period.

Flowers make a difference to the "whole" feeling of your wedding. Nicole produced a dreamy winter wonderland where all our guests were in awe!

Nicole was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator, Crystal Lequang of Amazae Special Events. She may be one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. Her work is absolutely amazing! She works very closely with Crystal, so I had very little interaction with her via email. I had seen her work once before at their annual Una Bella Sera event at Casa Real. Her website definitely does not do her justice. We met with her, shared our vision, and gave her our budget. She and Crystal came up with awesome ideas that were executed seamlessly.

Our flowers on the big day were stunning! Orange was our color so she used a lot of calla lilies, orchids, daisies, tulips, and ranunculus. The bouquets and boutonnieres lasted all day, and even for a few days after. Our centerpieces which were three different arrangements on each table were gorgeous. And lastly, the large arrangements for the ceremony and foyer were not only what I had envisioned, but better!

Nicole is also not one of those florists that drop off the stuff and leave. She stayed to help Crystal, and also put the flowers in bags and tied them in ribbon for our guests when the night ended. So she was there the entire time! Our day would not have been as beautiful without Nicole's amazing work. Thank you Nicole!

p.s. This is how sweet Nicole is - I had mentioned to her that I was going to do a couture bridal shoot with Jennifer Skog and Maria Chang. And she offered to make me a beautiful bouquet for the photo shoot and even drop it off on the day of! The bouquet was just as stunning as my wedding day bouquet! Thank you Nicole for the beautiful gift!

Nicole is so talented and just a friendly person to talk to. Although she works from her home she seems to be very professional at what she does! I absolutely love her work! Its very young, hip,and modern. She listens to your requests very carefully so she can create you dream wedding accordingly! Even my FMIL liked her a lot!! It does take her awhile to send you a quote/email but she did warn me ahead of time that she's busy so it'll take her longer than usual to respond. We won't be going with Nicole for various reasons but its not because of her services and such. And if I could hire her and our florist both i would! but we can't.. :( But i thought she deserved 5 stars because of her work and her personality!!

Nicole did the flower for my wedding on April 4, 2009 and she did a wonderful job at my wedding.I love peacock feathers and Nicole came up with amazing ideals specially the cake topper, flower girl basket and bouquets. She also helped me to pick out the linens, napkins and decoration. Nicole's fees are fair and in the average compared to other popular florists in bay area.Nicole's an artist and talent, she is very flexible about changing the items I wanted to include and made very thoughtful suggestions about all aspects of décor. I was just so amazed.Thank you very much Nicole.

Nicole was awesome, our flowers came out beautiful, and she was very helpful and flexible.

I really love her flower, and i am sure i will book her for my wedding.. great job on what she done on my friends wedding. But kinna pricey :-)

Nicole was great! I met with her twice to go through some of my ideas and she was very responsive and helpful. The flowers and boutineers turned out great! You can tell she really likes what she does and is really looking out for the bride. I wanted to get rose petals for my wedding cake from her, but she told me that it'd be cheaper for me to get them at Costco. She also provided some alternative table decoration options based on my price range. I would definitely work with her again!

Nicole was my most favorite vendor to work with. She’s easy going, makes suggestions, and works within your budget. She totally turned my vision into a reality, and this was with limited guidance. I basically told her that I wanted my flowers to look vibrant, lush, and to pop with color. When you first meet with her, she notes what flowers you like/don’t like; she also offers suggestions on which flowers go with each other and which ones are in season. I really wanted peonies but since they’re spring flowers and would probably drive up the cost of my bouquet, she made the suggestion of using dahlias and ranculas, which are just as vibrant and big. When I saw my final bouquet, I was super happy with the results.

Also, to stay within my budget, she re-used the ceremony flowers (pomander balls from aisle decor) as part of the centerpieces for the reception.

She also does a mock-up of your centerpieces a couple weeks before the wedding, where you can make changes, suggestions, etc. The minute I saw them, I was in awe. If I had to do my wedding all over, I would hire Nicole again in a heartbeat.

Nicole is incredible. I loved working with her while planning my September 6, 2008 wedding, not only because she is amazingly talented, but also because she is a genuinely sweet and caring person.

Initial meetings with Nicole were a breeze. She’s great to talk to and brainstorm with, as well as a true professional. She was prompt in all of her e-mail responses and was very receptive to making revisions to our contract, which, as a lawyer, I really appreciated. Nicole is surprisingly affordable in light of her talent and popularity and is very conscientious of making sure to work within your budget, whatever it may be. Throughout the planning process, Nicole was very flexible about changing the items I wanted to include and made very thoughtful suggestions about all aspects of décor. About one month before the wedding, Nicole made us a trial centerpiece, which I absolutely loved and was able to take home; when my husband expressed some reservations about the centerpiece because it was too “modern” for him (haha), Nicole was kind enough to make a NEW trial centerpiece for us to view and provide suggestions. She was so sweet about it, even though I was freaking out about changing course last minute – she remembers what it was like to be a bride, and treats all her clients with the kindness and support that every bride-to-be needs leading up to her wedding.

Nicole regularly works closely with Crystal Lequang of Amazae Special Events (my coordinator), so having them both on my wedding team was amazing. Like Crystal, Nicole went above and beyond to make my wedding truly special. When I had told Nicole that I had purchased votive candles to put on all the tables, she offered to decorate all 150 of them with this beautiful netting...I can't even imagine all the work that that took her!!!

The event itself blew me completely away. She really brought to life the organic, natural elegance I wanted to express with the flowers at my wedding. My bouquet was lush and colorful, and I loved the custom kissing ball that she hung above our “altar” at the Hakone Gardens - so creative, and exactly what the venue needed. Her floral decorations at the reception were absolutely breathtaking. I loved the gorgeous garland that she had made for the escort card board, as well as the NEW and totally unique centerpieces submerged flower centerpieces. She totally outdid herself with additional kissing balls hanging from the ceiling (which she had made on her own and that weren’t included in the original contract), and the head table and cake table were incredibly decorated with river rocks, moss, and flowers. I could never in a million years have imagined that our venue could look that great. I love that Nicole does not just reuse old designs to create a cookie-cutter wedding - everything about the décor seemed fresh and new. I really think that innovation is really Nicole’s element.

Nicole is the best!

Upon meeting with Nicole and seeing her portfolio we knew we had to book her as our florist. She has the exact style we like and very personable. She worked with our budget. She is a kind soul and after meeting with other florist that was surprisingly hard to come by. We would and already have recommend Nicole to everyone that we know. She was a fantastic find and we a extremely grateful for all her hard work.

Nicole was absolutely amazing!!!
She did the flowers for my wedding on August 14th, 2008 at Viansa Winery. She did 7 bouquets, 7 bouttonieres, 1 hairpiece, 8 centerpieces and 1 extra large head table centerpiece. The result was breathtaking and looked abut three times as expensive as it actually was (thanks to Nicole's very fair rates).
I am an extremely fussy person, and flowers were no exception. For Nicole to have met and exceeded my expectations totally blows my mind. She even found me peonies in August for my bouquet because she knew how much I loved them!!
My centerpieces were tall vases with submerged white orchids and then tall silver manzanita branches with hanging votives and white orchids intertwined. The head table had a more elaborate centerpiece- natural manzanita branches weaving all over the table with tons of votives and lots of huge white orchids. My other vendors were shocked to hear that I paid well under three thousand dollars for all my flowers. My guests were bowled over bythe flowers, especially the quality and size of the orchids.
Nicole was a complete pleasure to work with, she traveled all the way out to Viansa to meet us onsite (and this was before we even hired her!), and throughout the entire process she was quick to reply to my emails and answer any questions that I may have had.
I have viewed her website and don't think that it even begins to do her justice, so as soon as I get pictures, I will post them here. If you are interested in her, you should also check out the flowers she did for the Una Bella Sera event (go to: http://augiechangphotography.blogspot.com/2008/04/una-bella-sera-at-casa-real-pictures.html ), they are simply to die for!
I honestly just cannot reccommend her enough! If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing about the entire experience with Nicole.

Nicole was recommended to us from my sister's friend. She was wonderful! She knew that we were on a budget, so she cleverly re-used the flowers from the wedding ceremony to decorate our wedding banquet hall. My bouquet was wonderful. I sent her a picture of our bridesmaids' dresses and she incorporated the colors into their bouquets. I was also impressed by her professionalism and her relaxed, easy-going manner. She was sweet, incredibly receptive, and wonderful. I'm definitely recommending her to my friends and family!

I LOVE Nicole!!! I worked with Nicole at my 4/26/08 wedding and she was just so awesome. I got so many compliments about the flowers for my wedding. I had no idea what kind of flowers or the concept that I wanted, but we worked it out through 2 or 3 meetings and it just turned out perfect.

She's not only a great florist....she also tries to help with other aspects of your wedding such as suggesting lighting or tips to personalize all the details. She was great and made things so easy.

My flowers were so beautiful! They added so much to the day, and my guests asked me about them because they were so elegant. I was so happy with the entire process, and highly recommend Nicole Ha.

My wedding was in October 2007. Nicole was one of my favorite vendors. I loved all the floral arragements at my wedding. I had a budget of $2k for flowers and she was able to work with my budget. I knew I wanted cymbidium orchids for my bouquets and boutonniers. Because I had a small budget, Nicole suggested using seasonal flowers for the centerpieces and they still came out lovely. The best thing was I didn't have to stress about flowers at all. Nicole's so creative, when we had our first meeting, she threw out so many ideas by just looking at pictures of the wedding site, that got me excited about the wedding. At the time, I was stressed about everything and was not enjoying the planning phase. I ended up paying a little over $2k and I got the following:

Bridal and (4) bridesmaid bouquets - all cymbidium orchids
8 boutonniers
3 corsages for mothers
13 centerpieces
cake decoration
toss bouquet
2 large arrangements

I reused all the flowers used during the ceremony for the reception. She even added an extra touch for the head table that made it look even better. I received so many compliments on how nice the flowers looked that day. Nicole did a fabulous job for my wedding!

On another note: My cousin used Nicole for her wedding too and I must have to agree with her that the flowers were okay, but not outstanding at her wedding.

In conclusion, Nicole is super nice, very easy to work with and would work with your budget. I would recommend her to everyone!

I LOVE LOVE LOVED working with nicole! Our flowers turned out to be so beautiful, and beyond our expectations. Our guest talked for days how beautiful everything looked. Nicole is so very creative and absolutely willing to work with your budget (I know this because I had ajusted my budget a couple times, and had made many changes to my original scheme)and everytime nicole was able to make valuable suggestions to complete my vision. I didn't give any specific guideline on the flowers, and basically let Nicole run with my vision, and she pull everthing beautifully together. She was so professional, on time(early on wedding day), and thorough (Nicole covered arrangements for all the tables, all display, everything that I didn't even think about, she covered!!) I can not recommend her enough to everyone.

My wedding was September 30th 2007 at the Del Monte building in Sunnyvale.
When initially meeting with her she was so friendly and accommodating to my hectic schedule. The look I was going for was a modern chic look. When talking about my wedding colors and scheme Nicole actually got really excited and enthusiastic. You could tell this was her passion. She gave me plenty of choices and ideas to choose from and was patient at my reluctance to make a concrete decision. She really walked me through the whole floral process and what flowers were good choices for the particular mood I was trying to set. She responded to all my questions and concerns in a timely effective manner while always being personable.

I didn't have a wedding planner and thought I could go without one since me and my husband was on a tight budget. I thought I had all the bases covered but come a month before the wedding all the small things crept up. In my moment of panic Nicole completely assisted me. She not only organized a sound schedule but she made favors out of river rocks and orchids she walked me through everything and became my own wedding planner.

Now for the important part the flowers….

Nicole completely transformed the Del Monte into an elegant and beautiful showcase for my wedding ceremony and festivities. I used the upstairs room for my ceremony but could not afford to have chair covers for my ceremony but she decorated the aisles and my chuppah (Jewish wedding canopy) so beautifully the room looked breathtaking. When I walked down the aisle I was overwhelmed by her artful and stunning décor. It literally took my breath away. Walking down stairs to my reception I was again amazed how the ballroom was decorated. Everyone and I mean everyone was impressed.

I had two bouquets one for the morning ceremony and one for the afternoon ceremony. The morning bouquet exploded with colors using various flowers including tulips which I loved. My other bouquet was a cascade of roses and orchids with a dash of color. Oh my gosh it was the most gorgeous bouquet I have ever seen. I wanted to freeze dry it and keep it in a little container so I could admire for years to come but Nicole promised she would replicate the same bouquet for me for my anniversary.

All the flower girls had kissing balls which were decorated in bright orange roses.
She provided gardenia’s for my hair.
The bridesmaids had lovely arrangements of roses and peonies.
The groomsmen had miniature purple calla lilies.
The centerpieces were modern and artfully placed, just what I requested.
All were done with exquisite taste.
.
Overall my wedding turned out better then any prior expectations I had. I felt like a princess in my beautiful palace.



I didn’t realize the importance of flowers and what kind of mood they really set at a wedding until I started planning my own.
I know how painful the wedding planning process can be and all the choices you have are overwhelming but with Nicole’s services you just can’t go wrong. She has the talent and the passion. Guests are still talking about my wedding and I receive so many complements about the floral arrangements! If you ladies want any pictures of my flowers from my wedding please feel free to email me. Hope this review helps in the complicated process of wedding planning

Nicole is great! I had such a positive experience with Nicole Ha during my planning process that I truly feel lucky that I found the right vendors to work with and made the overall planning effort not such a nightmare after all. Nicole's flowers were amazzzzinngggg....I loved all the work that she did with executing all the ideas and visions that I had for my wedding. She even gave me tons of great ideas to do on my own which I happily worked on - they added more depth to my own little projects for the wedding. I would happily recommend any wedding couple to Nicole Ha - she really does have the flare and vision with her craft. I loved that she went above and beyond on her delivery. Great vendor!

nicole is the best. she is not just a florist, she is someone who is going to help ensure your wedding is beautiful. and she is a worker bee. the day of the wedding she went far and above what she had to do to make sure everything was well put together. her flowers & designs are beautiful. i would hire her again in a heart beat

I would not recommend this person. She was not even there during the wedding decoration until the very end. She has no store. Its like working in the garage. She hired people that does not know how to arrange flowers. I would say she is a good florist if she actually did it. I guess she was too busy with another wedding or was ill prepared for our wedding. She did not deliver what she promised regretably. It was very unprofessional. I just posted two pictures one from the wedding of the centerpiece at the actual wedding and one that was done at her home. I'll let you be the judge whether the center piece was done nicely or not.

Our bouquets were very lush and beautiful. I loved my bouquet, mainly because of the gorgeous pink peonies. Too bad I couldn't keep it since we were flying out to Italy the next day.

All flowers arrived on time.

Boutonnieres and corsages looked great.

Nicole decorated our cake beautifully.

Deltas:

I did not like the mini pink roses that Nicole suggested I use for my hair, but maybe this isn't her fault because I didn't really specify what I wanted. I just told her I wanted to put flowers in my hair during the reception and that the flowers could not be white (bad luck per Chinese customs). The pink roses were nice, but I just didn't like the way they looked as hair accessories. But it was all I had so I just went with it. In hindsight, I wish I hadn't used them. Lesson learned - if you're going to use flowers in your hair, know the type of flower you want, and if possible, test it out by putting one in your hair and photographing it to see if it really looks as nice as you think. Flowers that lay a bit flat looks a lot better than those that will protrude out of your head (like the roses I got).

The arch for our ceremony was not as nice as I had expected. I don't know if it's because, according to Nicole, pink hydrangeas were not in season, so she ended up using white hydrangeas and then spray painting them pink. After seeing a photo of another arch she had done previously, I was disappointed that our arch wasn't as lush as the one I had seen.

While I ended up loving my bouquet, my initial reaction wasn't Wow. I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. In the end, it grew on me though, and I loved the peonies. But when I look at flowers from my friend's wedding, or even flowers from my cousin's wedding that Nicole did (which turned out fabulous by the way), I'm disappointed with what I got.

Summary

I loved working with Nicole. She had some great ideas that weren't limited to just flowers. Nicole made me dream of a gorgeous wedding, and got me all excited about it. And yet she was very understanding when I came back later to say I was buying a house and had to cut the wedding budget. She didn't make me feel bad, and made me feel like, even with a smaller budget, the flowers could still look nice. She's so nice about working with your budget. She was super patient, despite my indecisiveness. One minute I wanted tulips, next minute calla lilies, then peonies, then orchids, etc. I could never make up my mind because there are just so many beautiful flowers out there. I finally just left it up to her to decide (in hindsight, maybe I should have been more specific)! Nicole has great potential, but unfortunately is not consistent. The flowers at my wedding were just okay. But the flowers she did for my cousin's wedding were gorgeous. Oh well. But she is definitely a sweetheart to work with.

Nicole was an amazing designer. She presented me with so many ideas that I loved. She can help you with your budget in suggesting lower cost but still beautiful ideas.

Love her work, highly recommend

Nicole has an excellent eye for design and was receptive to all my budget requirements and design ideas. We had a winter wedding, and I wanted to pair rich holiday colors (cranberry red roses) with greenery -- not a traditional wedding look, but Nicole made it work seamlessly with the bridal party's colors. She was professional and easy to get along with, and when on the day of the wedding we were told the church had changed its rules about placement of decorations, she improvised and dealt with the church staff wonderfully (leaving me free to actually BE the bride!) Also well-connected with caterers, sites, photographers, etc., so overall a fabulous resource.

I loved working with Nicole. She works out of her home and does this on the side, so she charges about ½ less than what you will pay because overhead costs will not be charged to you. She was wonderful to work with, had great ideas, and knows how to incorporate your ideas, theme, and vision into her work. And my mother loved her! She executed my vision beautifully. Some brides, I’ve noticed have complained on these boards about her lack of responsiveness, but you have to remember that she has a full time job on the side! My goodness! You can't expect a response in 15 minutes when this is her side job! I really didn’t rush any of my vendors and always was patient, and they all came through for me (LESSON LEARNED: DO NOT BE A BRIDEZILLA! See advice at the end of post). Her response time via phone or email was pretty good (she replied to e-mails or phone calls within a day or two), and in the end, I was so glad I went with her. She did 33 table centerpieces for me (both high and low arrangements), decorated my cake, made five bridesmaid bouquets, my bouquet, and some of the boutonnieres. She also decorated my sign-in table and made my breakout toss bouquet (which was a huge hit - the bouquet was actually six little bouquets, each with a tiny message tied to it, so when you throw it, it breaks open so six women could catch a bouquet!). She will also give you ideas as to how to save money (e.g., how to use flowers for both your ceremony and reception, etc., how to make boutonnieres, etc.). On the day of your wedding, she will bust her butt to get the job done, and she's worth every penny I spent. She is friends with Mylinh Phan, my coordinator, so hiring them as a package is great b/c they will both make sure that every detail is perfect on your wedding day (e.g., Yank Sing sort of just threw the chopsticks and plates down on my reception tables and they, along with my helpers, went around fixing everything and making sure everything was perfectly aligned). Cost = about $2200.

Wedding Flower Design

Nicole has exquisite taste in floral décor. She is a talented woman and with her creativity she can transform any place into something truly magical. She’s fun to work with and has wonderful ideas to share.

Nicole is awesome to work with. She knows what she is talking about. She does the most beautiful work!!!

Nicole Ha Floral Designs always amaze me when I get to photograph her arrangements at Weddings. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Nicole Ha if your looking for unique and beautiful floral designs.

I have worked with Nicole on several occasions and her floral creations are simply stunning.

Nicole does awesome job. Would strongly recommend her to all brides.

Been to Nicole special bridal event and also have seen her work in person at my clients' weddings. All I have to say that she's very talented and her work is AMAZING!!!

Nicole Ha is very talented in her craft and creates works of art with her flowers. Her designs are always fresh, unique and high in quality. She is personable, professional and goes the extra mile to help her clients design a vision which will definitely impress your guests.

Wow. That's the first word out of my mouth when I saw Nicole's masterpiece(s). Absolutely stunning work. She's one of those vendors that are SO popular that you'll need to book her WAY in advance. She's busy for a reason. People just love her work. I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Nicole at her Una Bella Serra 2 event that she co-hosted. She's very down to earth and makes you feel welcomed. Highly recommended vendor.

Nicole is an amazing talent. She is one of the best in the bay area.
