NINFA'S FLOWERS

Ninfa's did a great job with our wedding flowers at an awesome price! Our bouquets and centerpieces came out beautiful and people were fighting over them after the wedding. Their prices cannot be beat anywhere for the quality of the flowers and work that they do. Crystal was very helpful in making sure I got exactly what I wanted at a price we could afford. Overall a great vendor! If it weren't for them, I would have never been able to afford flowers at my wedding. Thank you!!

I am so grateful to have had Ninfa's flowers do my Wedding. We had a "very" small budget for our wedding and I didn't think professional flowers were an option. I submitted a request for quote (with what I thought was impossible to meet). Crystal put together a quote and I met with her at the shop. First off...the shop is small (do not let this fool you), I was blown away with what they had inside!! Crystal showed me tons of photo samples of weddings they'd previously done Large & small and showed me my options...We pick & chose every flower to fit my budget. End result.... We had absolutely Beautiful flower arrangements at our wedding! The centerpieces, bouquets, etc were far beyond our expectations and our guests not only complimented us on them but also asked us for their info for there own upcoming events...Thank You Crystal & Joe, you guys are absolutely amazing!!!

They made my dream wedding come true. I had a vision and they made that vision a reality. They did everything they said they would and I didn't have to be involved the day of the wedding at all.

Ninfa's flowers is truly a hidden gem and was a great budget find! I have worked part-time as a florist so I love flowers and had high expectations for our wedding flowers. On the other hand, having worked in the business I also generally knew the material cost of florals and had a hard time convincing myself to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on overpriced arrangements. We found the perfect combination of style, quality, and wonderful service, all at a price we were completely comfortable with at Ninfa's flowers. To be honest, when my husband and I first ventured out to East downtown LA to visit Ninfa's flowers, we were a bit nervous about its location. The flower shop, quietly tucked away in the corner of a small strip mall, also doubles as a gift shop so it was a bit crowded with display items and flower materials-- but from the minute we walked in the owners Joe and Crystal were polite and attentive. They offered us water as we dicussed ideas, colors, and themes. They had some albums of outdated designs and arrangement that looked like they were from the 70s, but when Crystal showed me some photos from actual clients and recent weddings I was immediately confident of her design talent and versatility of style. I had a fairly specific vision and Crystal had great suggestions and ideas to translate the look-and-feel I wanted into a specific arrangement or bouquet. Crystal was very helpful and patient in explaning all of the options for specific types of flowers that fit our elegant and classic vintage theme, with a soft pastel color pallete. During our sample viewing when I couldn't decided on a head table centerpiece, Crystal and Joe patiently went through a variety of options with us until I found something inspiring. Crystal was always willing to work within our budget and constantly made suggestions of where we can reuse flowers or how we could maxamize the floral decor throughout the space without sacrificing on our aesthetics. During the last few days before the wedding, we also had some last minute changes and additions. Crystal and Joe were very accomodating in helping us tie together all the loose ends. Finally, on our wedding day, all the flowers were fresh, fragrant, and as beautiful as we had imagined and it was wonderful to see our vision come to life. One minor issue we had was that our bouquet wraps were left completely soaking in water along with the flowers for most of the day and wern't even towel-dryed beforehand so they were sopping wet when handed to me. Otherwise though everything wonderful, thank you Ninfa's flowers!

I loved working with Crystal at Ninfa's! She met my very strict budget constraints and blew me away with beautiful flowers on my wedding day. I highly recommend Ninfa's Flowers.

I truly can't say enough about Crystal and Joe and Ninfa's Flowers.They were absolutely amazing! I went in with a very limited sense of what I was looking for (I'm no florist!)...just the barest ideas of colors and design. I was also on a pretty tight budget and had been discouraged by other florists already. They were so nice and professional when we met and open and honest about budget and ways to work within it. I was instantly comfortable. I gave them a sense of what I was looking for - shape of bouquets, color scheme, a couple necessary flowers and some I didn't want at all.When the flowers came it's like they had read my mind. The bouquets and centerpieces were so incredible. I could never have described exactly what I wanted but they just knew. Also, with what I paid, I felt like I was robbing them! For what I got, any other "Wedding Florist" would have charged three or more times what they did. But you'd never know it by looking at everything.I don't know the next time I'll need "catered" flowers, but I will never use anyone else! Thank you so much. (Note to Crystal/Joe: pictures to come...)

i love them!!!!!!!!i will def use them for another occassion

Just got married earlier this month and I couldn't have better things to say about Ninfa's flowers. They are extremely professional, willing to work with budgets and do beautiful work. I couldn't be more thrilled with how the flowers turned out at our wedding. Thank you Ninfa's flowers!!!

I worked with Crystal and her husband... I had a vision for my special day and WOW did they make that happen and MORE! Everyone loved the flowers and decor of the ceremony. Ninfa's Flowers is a MUST-HAVE vendor!!! She works with you and your budget and produces more than expected. THANKS Crystal!! You did such a great job!! You made my day a memorable one! :)

Crystal and Joe were great to work with. I shared the vision of what I was hoping to achieve along with my budget and they made it happen. My focus was on fun bright vibrant colors for the flowers and the wedding was beautifully decorated. It was easy to work with them and I definitely would recommend them to anyone shopping around for a florist.

The flowers were beautiful and we got exactly what we wanted at a great price. They were on time and set up the ceremony and the reception room exactly the way we discussed.

The customer service was fantastic and I enjoyed working with the staff, but the quality of the arrangements was mediocre. They do a nice job of giving you a preview, which is very helpful.

I would definitely recommend Ninfa's Flowers to anyone! I planned my wedding from out of state, so it was really important for me to work with someone who could be responsive to different ways to communicate (email, phone, mail, etc.). Crystal did a really good job of being in constant communication and answering any questions I had. I was on a budget, and they were really understanding of that. They let me rent the vases at no charge because they were conscious of my budget concerns. Another great thing about working with Crystal is that I really had no idea what I wanted--I pretty much just had a picture and said, "I like those colors, and I don't care what flowers I get as long as they matched the colors and are cheap." They ended up being EXACTLY what I wanted. When I mentioned that I was looking to have the flowers in vintage milk glass vases, they didn't originally have them available but said that they were willing to find them for me--totally above and beyond what I expected, because I can't imagine how much it would have cost me for me to find them myself (then I'd have a bunch of vases that I wouldn't know what to do with too). Finally, they were flexible enough to let me bring in my own peacock feathers to include in the arrangements, without charging me anything for additional labor. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Crystal, and I myself was so surprised with how great everything turned out. I figured there would be a catch somewhere, but there really wasn't. Great customer service and great quality--totally worth it and then some!

My experience with Crystal from Ninfa's Flowers was really lovely! And we looked long and hard before picking a florist. Crystal was responsive, organized, and really smart. I felt I could trust her to understand my concerns, my vision, everything. I also could trust her to keep my wedding within budget! The only problem I ran up against was that my bridal bouquet wasn't as stunning as I'd hoped in the end. I think this was my fault. I shouldn't have picked so many colors and I shouldn't have been so tight with the budget. Instead I should have thrown some extra money at the bridal bouquet and I would have had something that was really stunning. Whenever something was within Crystal's power to deliver it to me - she did just what I needed and beautifully too! I really loved working with her and would do so again!

Crystal and Joe Were completely amazing from the beginning of the planing to the end. They made my wedding beautiful with all the flowers, I got so many compliments from everyone in the wedding. I was very nervous going in to her store not knowing what to expect, but she made me feel right at home. I am so grateful that my friend recommended her as Crystal made her wedding beautiful as well. My bridal bouquet was just amazing!!!... I loved it!!! The centerpieces were beautiful and the bridesmaids bouquet were just lovely!I am so grateful for Crystal and Joe for the extra work they put into my wedding.I will recommend Ninfas Flowers to everyone I know and I look forward working with them in the future.Thank you, Crystal and Joe.

As with most typical brides, my vision from day one and the actual wedding date changed about a dozen times. Crystal and Joe were always amazing in accommodating each and every question and adjustments that I've had. Not only are they thorough during the initial consultation, but the main thing I've learned is that they know their flowers more than anyone else. I walked in with some ideas in hand, but once Crystal made her recommendations after seeing pictures of my ceremony and reception locale, her suggestions were AMAZING and truly turned out to be some of the best parts of my wedding.One of the best things about Ninfa's Flowers is that they're not out to take advantage of you just because it's 'a wedding'. When you answer the question on "what's your budget?", Crystal is truly just trying to offer you different options at different price points. In the end, my arrangements were so lush and gorgeous, as were my bridal bouquets, corsages, and boutinnieres. I emailed Crystal frantically about needing to find a cake stand a day and a half before my wedding, and she came through and found one for me. Their responsiveness is great, and she always strive to get back to you so quickly. She worked out a payment plan for me so that it's all paid off by the time the big day gets here. Joe is also an expert on all things flowers. His attention to details in putting together all of my ceremony pieces and centerpiece were so appreciated and my guests all noticed! I've been to many events where the centerpieces were starting to wilt by the time the cake is cut. Definitely not the case with these guys. You want a florists that are great people and genuinely care about your event? That'll be Crystal and Joe at Ninfa's Flowers! I'll be going back to them for everything that may require flowers from here and on! THANK YOU!!

Ninfa's Flowers were one of our vendors that was very professional from the beginning till the end. When something needed to be changed they were more than willing to go with the changes and even offer good suggestions to keep us within our budget. The value was outstanding and the quality of the flowers and decorations were beyond what we expected. If value and quality is important to you then Ninfa's Flowers is the place for you. They made sure things were set up right even if there was a delay on the setup time. For example, our reception place had our area booked with some other occassion but it ran beyond their time and overflowed to our setup time. Even with this delay on set up time, Ninfa's Flowers stayed and made sure our flowers and decorations were setup the way we wanted it to be. We would definately recommend Ninfa's Flowers to our families, friends, and coworkers. We feel that no other vendor would beat their value, quality and outstanding service. Thank you for making our wedding a memorable one. The flowers were amazing!

Crystal and her team were amazing! I highly recommend her to all of my engaged friends:)

Ninfa's Flowers was referred by a coworker when she had her wedding a year ago. Crystal was outstanding on her knowledge of flowers, organizational skills, flexibility on last minute changes, professionalism and most of all, she really listened to your needs, concerns, especially working with my budget which was HUGE for me! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to other brides.

They did an awesome job!!! flexible with any budget!!!

Where do I start??? We just got married on October 9th and I still have a vidid picture in my mind of how wonderful all the floral decorations looked! Words fail me in decribing the planning process with Crystal and Joe! They were simply amazing!From the initial consultation to the execution on our Wedding Day. Crystal and Joe were very welcoming and always ready to "guide" us when needed. Their level of experience shows in all they do. They have passion for their work and they genuinely care for the outcome of your special day. I was blown away by everything they provided on that day from the Bridesmaids Bouquet to the Reception centerpieces to the Ceremony Florarls, everything was beautiful, more than what I anticipated or could have ever imagined. My bridal bouquet was just STUNNING! Everyone told me how gorgeous it was and how well it photograph.
The ceremony area was gorgeous and Crystal suggested we dually use our centerpieces for the ceremony stands as well as for the reception. WOW!!!! The same thing was suggested with our aisle flowers to be dually used for our cocktail centerpieces! Everything worked out great! They didn't leave until they were certain everything was done. The Ballroom was gorgeous and everything was executed in perfection.

Crystal and Joe have the greatest partnership that encompasses everything one needs for that special day! I would highly recommend them over and over again.

Crystal and Joe! We are forever grateful and thank you for making our vision a reality and in the process exceeded our expactations and just blowing our minds away! You guys were amazing!!!

Sincerely,
Jeannette and John Rodriguez!

What can I say about Crystal and Joe? The best compliment I can give them is that they are family! Once you sit down with them you immediately feel welcomed and comfortable. They work with you and your budget. They answer every call whever and whatever the request may be. The price is reasonable but the quality is amazing. Go look at their website and just get a small glimpse that doesn't do their actual work justice. They went above and beyond anything we expected or could have hoped for.

What a pleasure to work with. Our flowers were just beautiful. I loved, loved, loved my bouquet. Also the sweetheart table people were so amazed. They are very good price and I never worried once with them because crystal is very quick to respond and thev are very accommodating. At such a good price. Book with them they are so fantastic with flowers.

I really enjoyed working with Crystal and Joe! I came to her with a budget in mind and she was able to work with me to fulfill my all floral needs within the budget. The planning process was very smooth. Crystal had excellent suggestions and was always very responsive, reliable, and professional. My flowers were beautiful and I loveeedd my bridal bouquet. Her and Joe are amongst my top favorite wedding vendors! I highly recommend her services - not only does she provides quality work at a great price, but her and Joe are awesome people to work with!Thank you, Crystal and Joe, for being a part of our special day! - Tony & Karen

Our wedding was amazing thanks to Ninfas... All my flowers were beautiful... bigger and better than i would of hopped for .I would contact them mostly through email... and they were pretty quick to respond with in that day...They were very nice to us.. I started off with something totally different than what i ended up with and they were always ready and willing to make the changes necessary to make me happy...I went to a few other florist first before finding Ninfas and they were giving me ridiculous prices, that were way over our budget. We went to Ninfas and they were by far the best deal ...Best prices by far at Ninfas..! =) they work with what you can afford and they make it as beautiful as it can be no-matter the price...One thing i will never forget is how they added extra touches that i hadn't paid for because i was in a budget .. i cant thank them enough for making our wedding look like a million bucks.. thank you guys for everything.. Everyone loved my flowers.. especially me =}With Love,Lady and Jesse Martinez

Our wedding was in August 2010, we simply want to recommend NINA Flowers for any function. Crystal is a very nice and a friendly person. When I walked in to her shop I had an idea what I wanted for my reception but I did not know what kind of flowers to use to make my idea come to life. She was so willing to look at magazine cut out and improve on the ideas. She was extremely friendly and very easy to talk to. Crystal was very helpful with letting me pick flowers and she was also very kind as to make me stick to my budget. She was showing me flowers that fit my budget so that I will not have compromise. She was very open to negotiations. On the day of the trial she was so open to making adjustments to the arrangements. On the day of the wedding my husband and I were amazed to see the reception hall. They were even professional enough to change some flowers from my flower girl’s bouquets to different kinds to give it fresh look, upon our request. They took the bouquets and rearranged it and brought it back to our home without additional costs. The arrangements in out reception hall were so beautiful and exactly what I wanted and imagined. Every guest at my wedding did not fail to comment on the beautiful flower arrangements. We did not have to have any one supervise or ask to make any adjustment to arrangements; the arrangements were exactly what they promised it would be. They were very professional.We once again want to thank NINA’S FLOWERS for an amazing job at our wedding, making our dream wedding come to life.

TOP NOTCH FLORIST!!!! This review is first off.....way overdue. I must apologize to Crystal and Joe for not posting a review sooner! With my Glitz and Glamor personality I didn't even know if it would be possible for a florist to see my vision without me having to spend a fortune. I went straight to Crystal and she completely saw and created my vision. I knew nothing about flowers...I just knew i wanted bright colors and bling. She was so nice, personable, and i could tell she loved bling too! Joe was so fun to work with and was always giving us other options and suggestions! The whole experience was just amazing! She created an estimate based on everything i would like right there on the spot. With my guest count and everything included it came out to the PERFECT price! We booked her right away and then made an appointment to see the mock center piece about a month before the wedding. The centerpiece was everything i expected and more. I didn't even need to change one thing!! Now comes the DREAM WEDDING! My bouquet was to die for and my bridesmaids bouquets were just as beautiful! They even added a special broach to each of their bouquets! My Ceremony looked like it should have been on Platinum weddings. They created the most beautiful structure. To be married at this structure was far beyond breathtaking! All of my guests are still talking about it! They also created a huge "A" for Allison (Bride) and "N" for Nick (Groom) out of rose petals for ceremony decor. After the ceremony Joe, Crystal and the crew took all the flowers they could reuse and decorated the reception area even more. The centerpieces looked exactly like my amazing mock centerpiece I saw the month prior (Beautiful). They actually even added glitter to some of the roses! Crystal knows thats what i love! I am still OBSESSED with the flowers. I probably look at my wedding pictures everyday just to look at them. Not only did the flowers come out good but they are truly there to make your day your dream. They arrive early to make sure everything is set up to perfection. And won't leave until they know they have everything taken care of. They always have suggestions for alternative ideas. They also added little things that they knew would fit my personality and wedding theme (glitter and broaches). Crystal and Joe are also very easy to get in contact with to make any changes too! I don't even want to leave this review because i could talk all day about how Ninfas is AMAZING! Crystal and Joe, it was a pleasure to work with you. When I look back on my wedding...I see how beautiful it was because of the flowers. You made our wedding day everything we could dream of! Anyone I know getting engaged soon is coming to you. I think every girl that came to my wedding has already found their florist! I can't wait to work with you again in the future and I am happy to send any business your way! Thanks again for everything!Do you want your dream wedding? Go straight to Ninfa's! Love Nick and Allison Kean

The flowers were beautiful and working with the florist was very easy. We just gave a general idea of what we wanted, and they helped us clarify what we meant, then created an excellent set of flowers. Their expertise in putting together arrangements based on our limited input was impressive. Also, they were familiar with our venue and gave us great suggestions on our to incorporate flowers into it.

Crystal and Joe did a wonderful job on my wedding flowers they were exactly what I imagine.When I walked into the reception hall it took my breath away.. all my guest were blown away and very impressed with the centerpieces they couldn't believe they could take them home. Ninfas flowers gets 5 stars all the way;-)

Out of all the vendors that we worked with through out the wedding planning Ninfa's was by far the best to work with!!!!!!When looking for florist I wanted to make sure there were two things to keep in mind and that was cost and quality. I got a few quotes and Ninfa's was by far the best prices for what they were offering. At first I was slightly worried because I thought the price was to good to be true, but then when working with Crystal and Joe on what I was expecting and what they had to offer I felt very comfortable that they were going to make it happen. Throughout the couple of months before the wedding these guys were very good at communicating with me and making me feel comfortable on my choices. Even thought the shop was not a close drive for me I was not worried about driving down to see the flower samples for my wedding. When I saw the sample of what they were doing for my center pieces I think my words were "Are those really for my wedding". I took a picture of them and wanted to show everyone but had to keep myself from doing that so there was a surprise for them on the wedding day. People had told me to be careful with working with florist in the downtown LA area because many times they are not always on time. With Ninfa's I had now worries and the day of the wedding everything was there and organized. All the bouquets were labeled with everyones name and everything was sitting nicely in water to keep them fresh. My bouquet was amazing and more then I expected. The centerpieces from the wedding were something that if you wanted them at the end of the night you were probably going to have to fight for them because everyone wanted one to keep. Again I would have to say that working with Crystal and Joe as florist made some of the wedding planning even easier. Thank you so much to this vendor to making the day even more special . One other little thing to say is that it has been almost 2 weeks since the wedding and my bouquet (it has been in water and kept refrigerated) and some other flowers that we saved are still alive. No doubt the flowers are fresh.

Crystal and Joe were the best from the moment we meet. They were easy going, knew exactly what we wanted and how to make it happen. Being that I was on a budget, Crystal was able to give me her suggestions on where to save example what flowers were more expensive then the others. She totally understood that I was on a budget and that made me feel comfortable in choosing Ninfa's Flowers for my wedding day.

They are awesome!!!! Since picking this wedding vendor, my dates has changed three times and they have been very accomodating. I met with crystal the other day for two hours and she sat with me, and gave me great suggestions. Her business partner, was awesome as well, he sat with me and let me look at invitations!!!! I am really excited to use them for my June 2010 wedding, and did i mention they are extremely affordable!

Update 6/15/2010

the flowers were awesome, everything turned out as I had requested!!! Crystal just told me to have some vases so I could put my flowers on water until I walked down the aisle. I would use them again if I ever needed flowers!!!!!

My flowers were GORGEOUS and everyone agreed. Service was professional and very responsible. As far as price you pretty much pay for what you want but prices were great as well. Crystal and Joe run an EXCELENT business! I would recommend them to everyone.

Crystal and Joe were amazing!!!!! If I ever needed flowers again for anything I would definately use them again. Before we even get to the flowers let me tell you about the planning process. I had changed my wedding date like 3-4 times and everytime I gave them a new date they would just be so accomodating. I also had no idea of what type of flowers I wanted to use, so Crystal spent a long time with me to pick out my flowers, then I changed my mine and she was accommodating of that. Even when I went in for the two week final meeting, I had decided to change the groom's flowers and the groomsmen, and again they were accomodating. I have never met a more patient, wonderful business woman and man! Kudos to Crystal and Joe!

Quality of Service 5.0Responsiveness 5.00Professionalism 5.00Value 5.00Flexibility 5.00 Give Crystal a pic of what you want- she will dream up something wonderful for any event. Everyone was talking about my beautiful centerpieces at my wedding! She is quick to respond to all questions and worked within my budget. She is my florist of choice from now on. Thank you Crystal! Carmen -Happy Bride married on 6/4/2010

After visiting several trendy florists in West Hollywood, I was having trouble deciding which vendor to go with. They all appeared to create beautiful arrangements, but either the attitude, the expense ($3,000+) or the lack of communication were offputting. Then, after filling out an online quote request form, I received an e-mail from Crystal at Ninfa's with an amazing price. I wondered if they could really provide what I wanted...what was the catch? There wasn't a catch! They were absolutely wonderful. They created a free sample and worked with me for an hour until it was exactly what I wanted. They helped me create full arrangements with the colors and flowers I wanted that were within my budget. I was even able to add flowers to the gazebo and head table, which I was going to sacrafice by going with one of those west side florists. Ninfa's was very prompt with all communication. My flowers were exactly what I wanted and they really did help make my wedding a dream come true. I was told not to scrimp on flowers or photos. Ninfa's allowed me to get the flowers I wanted! They will work with you until you are happy. They love what they do and it shows! Thank you, Ninfa's! I am very touched by your hard work and kindness. You were a pleasure to work with! On the day of my wedding, I knew you had things under control and it was very reassuring!

Thanks Crystal and Joe for making my day beautiful!!!! I LOVED my bouquet.And the prices were to die for!

No words but just EXCELLENT. The custormer service, the value, and the flowers. I met with several florists, but as soon as I interviewed Crystal, see samples of their work, and receive such an affordable quote, I just had to book them. Our flowers at the reception looked even better than the trial, they paid attention to our requests and the results were just outstanding. Great job!

For our budget of $2500, I had a gorgeous bouquet, 1 flower to throw, flowers for 5 bridesmades, 3 junior bridesmaides,2 halo flowers for the small girls, 3 corsages, boutonnirs (groom, 2 fathers, 12 sponsors, 5 groomsmen). Set up to 2 locations included. In the church we had a big center altar arrangement, 12 flowers for the pews, aisle runner. Reception we had 20 tall arrangements, flower for the sweetheart table, petals to cake table and escort card table. We reuse the flowers from the church to the reception for the sign-up table and as centerpieces to the couryard tables for the cocktails. I hope I mentioned everything, but just want to emphasize that everything is worth it.

Crystal and Joe are incredibly nice and professional, and they're able to work within my budget to provide the flowers for my ceremony and reception.

Being completely clueless about flowers, I went into the shop and told them the colors I wanted and the budget I was working with, and told them to run with it. A few weeks before the wedding, they created a centerpiece sample for me. I had no idea what I wanted so I signed off on the centerpiece even though I wasn't really crazy about it. A week later, I started having second thoughts and spent a few hours one night on the phone and emailing with Crystal to request a change to the shape and the type of flowers used. I didn't want to spend any more on the flowers, so Crystal really had to be creative to make the flowers I wanted fit into the existing budget.

In the end, I was absolutely thrilled with the centerpieces she created. They were so lovely, elegant, and looked so upscale and beautiful. My mom was even worried that the guests at some tables would fight over who got to take the centerpiece home!

I have to mention that we did have a major hiccup the morning of the ceremony. I needed to leave my hotel at 8am and Crystal and Joe had promised that the flowers would be delivered by 7. At 7:15 I got a phone call from Joe saying that they had some car trouble and would not be able to make it on time to the hotel. However, he did everything he could to make it up to me, and ended up delivering the ceremony flowers to the ceremony and making a second stop at the reception (I believe this would have cost extra if I had requested the extra delivery, but they did it for free). There was absolutely no harm to my events, but it was very stressful to me the morning of the wedding. A few days later, Crystal explained over email that her delivery guy had been hit by a drunk driver on his way to the hotel! Joe did not tell me this on the phone (I am guessing to keep me from worrying too much). So, because it was absolutely not their fault and they went above and beyond to make sure that I got my flowers in time, I don't hold it againt them at all.

Thanks Crystal and Joe for your hard work and for the beautiful flowers!

Crystal and her husband of Ninfa's Flowers were so easy to work with. We had a unique centerpiece idea in mind, and since they didn't have it, they made a special order for it. They go the extra mile. We didn't know much about the different flowers, but Crystal was very helpful and gave great suggestions for what we had in mind. They're a very nice couple. They were great with communication and the floral arrangements were beautiful. The prices are are also unbeatable. I would highly recommend them.

Ninfa's Flowers are the best. I worked more closely with Crystal when choosing my flowers, but both her a Joe are great. They made choosing my flowers one of the easiest things to do when planning my wedding. I went in there a couple of times and everytime I went in they were working on a different event, I just feel in love with their arrangements each and everytime. There prices are the best. They are willing to listen and offer suggestions so you can stay with in your budget. Ninfa's Flowers are truely the best. I could not have made a better choice when choosing my flowers. Crystal and Joe will definetly my go to florist for any event. Thanks a lot guys. My flowers beautiful.

Ninfa's flowers & gifts did a wonderful job for my wedding. My wife and I were so happy with all the flowers. The owners, Crystal and her husband, were extremely helpful and patient. All the flowers we order for the bridal party and the reception were fresh and beautiful. The bridal bouquet was amazing and exactly how we wanted. Great customer services, Crystal was very patient when we describe to her what we were looking for. Crystal’s husband was extremely helpful; he packed everything nicely and helped me carried to my car on the day of the pick up. The prices were super reasonable compared to two other places we look at. Overall, I definitely recommend Ninfa’s flowers to my family, friend and anyone.

So sorry Crystal and Joe for the time it took for me to write this review. My wedding was held this past Valentine's day and everyone told me that be prepared to spend a fortune on flowers as this is the most expensive day for flowers. My fiance at that time found good reviews on Ninfa's flowers through the internet. I asked for an appointment and from the night we met Crystal and Joe I knew we were going to hire them. Crystal is very patient (our first appointment took longer than expected) and she was so patient with me in figuring out the type of flowers that would work well for my colors. Crystal knows her flowers, she's good at customer service, and fast, she quoted me a very reasonable price considering that everything costs a lot more on Valentine's day. She detailed out all the cost for me. I really liked that she's very organized (being an accountant myself, I like costs to be detailed). My flowers turned out beautiful for my wedding, especially all my bouquets and the flowers she did for my gazebo. We ended up reusing all our flowers for the reception and her people waited until after the reception to transfer the flowers from the ceremony to the reception. She's also punctual and delivered on all her promises. She takes pride on her work, reliable, and great to work with. Book her early.

I got married on 12/26/2009 and had a pleasant experience at Ninfa's flowers. From the start I told Crystal, the woman who runs the shop, I was a bride on a budget and she did all she could to help me stretch my dollar which made me a HAPPY BRIDE TO BE :)

This is what I liked about Ninfa's flowers: Crystal is really good at responding to emails. I sent her photos of the type of flower arrangements I wanted for my Gazebo wedding and she quickly replied with suggestions and answers to my questions. She was very helpful in suggesting what flowers worked best for our budget. On the day of my wedding, everything went as planned. She arrived on time as previously discussed and was ready to begin setting up. After the ceremony her and her team quickly removed the gazebo arrangements and moved them to the reception area a few feet away without me even noticing . I have to say Crystal made my wedding day go by smoothly and look beautiful!

On that note, I recommend Ninfa's flowers for that special day or for any floral needs . Crystal is easy to work with, professional, and knowledgeable about flowers. FYI, full payment is due 1 month before the wedding date. At the end we paid a total of $568 for a bridal, maid of honor, and mini bride bouquet, a corsage, 3 gazebo floral arrangements (which were later transferred to the sweetheart, cake, and sign-in table), 8 organza bows, rose pedals, and the rental of organza draping for the gazebo and aisle.

We were on a budget, so after shopping around, we decided on Ninfa's for two main reasons: 1) the price (it was the best deal we could find), and 2) they were SO nice and professional. We thought we were searching more for bargain than quality, but did they surprise us! Crystal and Joe did such a fabulous job, our centerpieces looked STUNNING and the manzanita trees at our ceremony were beautiful and impressive. We were so happy with everything! When we went for our sample flowers, we actually had a very different vision from what they had prepared. Crystal and Joe were so open to our idea, even though we changed everything around. They were even willing to give us more than what we had paid for to ensure that we were happy with their product...and we truly were. At our wedding, so many people commented on our flowers and asked who our florist was! Along with the gorgeous job they did, they were just wonderful to work with. They even remembered all the last minute details I changed (i.e. changing the red rocks to clear rocks for the cocktail flowers, changing the corsage/bout orders around). I think I might've emailed her just a couple days before our wedding with changes and they totally delivered everything I asked for. They were also my FAVORITE vendor because Crystal was incredibly responsive, which is so helpful when you are trying to plan a wedding and pulling out your hair trying to figure out all the details. She would respond almost immediately, within a few hours, which made my wedding planning that much more easier. Ninfa's was cost-friendly, but the results looked gorgeous, classy, elegant, and expensive! I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

I was given a recommendation about this company and decided to use them. We had problems with payment because they wanted to be paid in full before the wedding and I wanted to pay 75% and pay the rest the day of the wedding so that I would be assured they would show up and deliver the flowers for my wedding. Less than three days before my wedding she decided she would not do the wedding and left me to find a florist who could do my flower order in that short of time. So take my advice and find someone else!

It's been 4 months since Crystal arranged my flowers for my big day and I'm very sorry to have not reviewed her yet! Let me tell you, she is very versatile and really works with you to get you what you want. Since I gave her all 5's, I'd just like to say that my focus was value for cost and someone you can really count on. If you would like your florist to pay attention to detail, then Ninfa's flowers is the way to go!

Our wedding was November 08, 2009 and we LOVED working with Crystal from Ninfa's Flowers & Gifts they are grea, very professional and friendly. We truly recommend them, they took our ideas and made our Wedding a dream come true ~ I loved my bridal bouquet it was gorgeous Crystal did an awesome job and we couldn't be happier!!! Happy Bride :) Adriana ~

I found Ninfa's Flowers through Project Wedding and selected them based on the many positive reviews. They did an excellent job and I would definitely recommend them. After the ceremony, my coordinator was raving about how professional and organized they were. She also commented that they helped direct guests to their seats who were confused or lost, which is not something that is necessarily within the florist's job description.

Their prices were reasonable and they made the effort to stay within my budget. Crystal (the owner) made lots of suggestions about things we could do to meet our vision but still stay in budget. She was also very knowledgeable about different types of flowers.

One service they provided at no extra charge was to transport the ceremony flowers to the reception so that they flowers would not be wasted. In our case, the ceremony and the reception were at the same place, but they still moved the arrangements around so we got maximum enjoyment out of them. Crystal also said they would have transported the flowers if our ceremony and reception were at different places.

The only criticism I have is the following. I picked glass vases for the centerpieces and wanted the flowers to go directly in the vase. Crystal suggested using a sponge in the vase because that makes the flowers look bigger. When I went to see my sample centerpiece, the sponge did make the flowers look bigger, but you could see the green sponge in the glass vase, which I didn't like. Crystal said they would tie a ribbon around the glass vase to hide the sponge. However, on the day of our wedding, they brought the centerpieces with the sponges showing through the glass vases. Afterward, when I asked about that, Crystal told me they decided that the ribbon didn't look good tied around the vase. I really felt that the glass vases with the green sponges showing through the glass looked a little tacky, so they lose a star for that. However, the rest of the arrangements - the bouquets, corsages, altar and sweetheart table arrangements, etc. were all gorgeous.

Ninfa's storefront is in a nondescript strip mall in East LA, and the shop looks a little disheveled because they are undergoing a renovation. But don't be deterred by the looks of the shop - Ninfa's did a great job, provided beautiful flowers, and was extremely organized and professional.

Crystal & Joe are great to work with! They are both very knowledgeable about flowers, really quick response.I spent a little over $1700 which includes my bouquet, MOH bouquet, toss-away bouquet, 11 centerpieces (5 tall & 6 short), 2 flower arrangements, 8 carnation kissing ball, plus boutonnieres & corsages and some petals for the isle and table.The flower was amazing!!!!!We really love them!!!

Ninfa's did such an amazing job on our flowers, they were gorgeous. My bridal bouquet had rhinestones in it, which I loved. We received so many complements on the arrangements. Crystal and Joe are awesome at what they do. They are very professional and a pleasure to work with. Crystal is quick at responding to emails and very helpful. We didn't have a big budget which was not a problem for Ninfa's, they are extremely affordable. I will definately be using them again.

Ninfa's flowers did an outstanding job! Their flowers were beautiful, the arrangements were perfect! Crystal and her husband were very helpful. They worked with me every step of the way. They were also very responsible, everything was done to the dot as arranged. I highly recommend Ninfa's Flowers. A wedding is extremely stressful, they relieved the part of the flowers for me. I got beautiful arrangements for my hall, for church, and for my wedding party at an amazing price. And believe me, I did my homework. I can't recommend them enough.

They did a great job on our wedding. Crystal and Joe were great to work with, nice, patient, and competent. I would bring them clear resolution pictures of how you want the bridal bouquet, centerpieces, and cake to look and they can make it just like that. I love my bouquet, altar arrangements, and centerpieces (18)

Their prices were excellent and we got a great deal. They are experience in church weddings, hotel reception, chinese reception, etc.
Make sure you arrange for the flowers to arrive early in case of traffic, etc

Pros:
-Reasonable prices
-Friendly
-Trustworthy
-Patient and attentive
-If you can give them pictures of what you want, they can make it just like it.
-Convenient location (off the freeway)

Cons:
None

I first heard of Ninfa's Flowers & Gifts via a wedding site & I decided to make an appointment via email. They responded right away & when I came in to the store, they were extremely knowledgeable about the flowers I wanted and made incredible suggestions to pair with the flowers I already knew I wanted.
I did not see the finished product until the wedding day & I have to say I was blown away by the beauty & high quality of all the flowers. There were even unexpected touches of beads & rhinestoned flowers in my bouquet, my mother's corsage, and my flower girl's hair flowers.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE what Ninfa's Flowers & gifts did for my ceremony, they captured my dream & realized it in amazing flowers.
Last, but not least, I have to say, the customer services in top of the line and they are very kind and friendly. Thanks, Ninfa's Flowers!!!

the arrangements from crystal and joe were amazing, i was beyond happy. wonderful service and flexible to work with. thank you crystal and joe!!

I wanted to make sure to provide a comment for this vendor since their work was stellar. Our wedding was on held September 6, 2009 and at the time my now husband wanted to skimp on the flowers due to budget costs but after getting an estimate from Crystal and Joe he was sold. Our day of the dead themed wedding was not traditional however Crystal embraced our vision and provided a lot of ideas that helped us to decide on the perfect centerpieces that showcased pictures of our family members. There we so easy to get a hold of by email or phone which is important for those brides who are concerned with all the little details. The day of the wedding Crystal surprised me with adding jeweled accents to my bouquet that were amazing. In short they are the definate choice if you want professional work at a reasonable cost. Thanks again Crystal and Joe! We recommend you to the fullest. Your friends Joleen and Marcus Ionis

Words cannot describe the gratitude we have towards Ninfa's Flowers for the tremendous work they did for our wedding. My fiance and I were torn on the idea of flowers I wanted to have them and he was initially thinking of skimping on them because of cost. However after our consultation with Crystal and her husband Joe my fiance was definitely sold on using them for event once we saw examples of jobs they performed for other couples + the cost of the entire package they were offering us was unbeatable. What really led me back to this site to leave this review was the fast relationship that developed over the short time we knew the couple they really cared about every detail of our wedding and to me that made all the difference. We came to them with a very atypical theme for a wedding which was day of the dead (Dia de los Muertos), Crystal seemed to have the same passion in helping me achieve my vision. She understood culturally what this day meant and helped us to execute our plan by having our centerpieces incorporate family photos to display at each table. I cannot say enough about this couple who truly go above and beyond with their customer service to make their clients happy. Upon returning the pillars used the day of the wedding we found the shop to be closed, however after sending an email Crystal contacted me immediately and even came by my house to pick them up which is 12 miles away! My now husband and I cannot recommend them enough thanks Crystal and Joe.

Ninfa's Flowers is a true diamond in the rough. Crystal and Joe were a pleasure to work with. They were easy to get in contact with and their responsiveness was great. They work around your budget and although we ended up going a little over ours it was totally worth it since the arrangements were better then we had imagined. They are very detailed and will offer suggestions when needed. Our flowers looked great in person and even better on our pictures. It looks like we spent a fortune on them. They were right on time to deliver and set up and our minds were at ease knowing they would take care of it all. We received so many compliments on our flower arrangments the day of our wedding that we knew we definately would recommend Ninfa's Flowers to everyone. Crystal and Joe thank you so much for an awesome job.

My wedding is in May 2009, but I'm already writing my review of them based upon their customer service. I met with Crystal and Joe twice and during my second consultation, they ordered all the flowers they could in my color scheme...just so I could have a better idea of what I would like. They are so easy to work with...and very affordable. I'm looking forward to having their flowers at my wedding.

First I want to apologize to Joe at Ninfa flowers for posting review so late. My wife both had very bad cold right after our 2/28 wedding at Wayfarers Chapel. I guess it's the type of "happy" cold you have to have after the big day. Now about Joe and Ninfa Flowers. I gave Joe five stars for his quality service and beautiful flower arrangements. Work with Joe gave us a peace of mind all the time, and we just felt our flowers are in good hands. Joe is very patient from the first time we met until the final delivery, always tried to provide best solutions for our preference and budget. His center piece sample really amazed us just one day before our wedding. I wrote to him saying "surprise us tomorrow". He actually did it. All flowers are created as we've discussed and have lot more flowers than we expected. The gold strike roses and lilies really stand out in the pictures. My wife and I definitely use Joe again for our anniversary and other events. Keep up the good work, Joe!

I checked out this florist and their services were great. They had all the seasonal flowers that I was looking for.

This is the first review that I've ever written because this is the first vendor I've ever worked with that is worthy of receiving 5-stars. Crystal and Joe from Ninfa's flowers provided the floral decorations for my wedding. In my attempt to cut cost, I planned on doing the floral arrangements myself with my bridal party/relatives. About a month before the wedding, I realized that there was too much to do the days before the wedding and the last thing I needed was the added stress of figuring out how to store the flowers, arrange and transport them to the venue. With their help, I was able to avoid becoming a bridezilla. Below are the specific reasons why I highly recommend Ninfa's Flowers & Gifts. FLEXIBILITY:- I went to Crystal & Joe one month before my wedding and they were able to rearrange my schedule to accommodate my wedding (ceremony & reception).- They arrived early to the wedding and was able to find their way around without having to contact me.- They help setup for the ceremony and they offered to stay until the ceremony ended to move my flowers around. (I reused the arrangements from the ceremony and moved them to reception area).- They also help store/setup little mini potted flowers for us that we bought direct from the flower mart.VALUE FOR COST:- I was able to receive the following items within my budget - which was under $1300- 3 bouquets (with Ecuadorian roses, calla lillies, stephanotis), 7 boutonniere, 3 corsages, 23 centerpieces (with Ecuadorian roses, dendrobium orchids, gerbera daisies, mini daisies and greenery), 3 decorative vases (4 ft tall filled with Ecuadorian roses submerged in water), sweetheart table bouquet and about 6 packs of rose petals decor. Also includes the materials like ribbons and flower trays.- So instead of taking a few days off work to arrange flowers, I was able to work an extra few days which ended up making the cost of my package even more worthwhile.- When you tell Crystal and Joe your budget, they will make suggestions that will give you the most magnificent arrangement with the smallest impact to your wallet. PROFESSIONALISM:- Crystal and Joe know their flowers - they were able to answer ALL our questions.- They were able to provide great alternatives to our ideas based to help with cost, floral seasonality and floral pairings.- They were able to coordinate with the wedding venue coordinator and on the day of the wedding they knew where to be and what to do.- They itemize all our floral arrangements so we knew exactly how many roses and daisies (even the specific color).- They made a sample arrangement for us with our centerpiece vase (it was a vase made in the shape of a fish - very unique and hard to design for) so we could see exactly what we would get.RESPONSIVENESS:- Crystal and Joe were always available via email, phone, or in person.- Since I worked late and driving to Ninfa's Flowers could take about 1.5hrs from where I worked, Crystal and Joe were available to me after hours.- Crystal kept in touch with me via email to give me updates on their ordering status and when they would pick up the flowers etc...QUALITY OF SERVICE:- The one vendor I did not have to worry or concern myself with on my wedding day was the florist. Crystal and Joe took care of everything. The flowers were placed in exactly all the locations we had marked on our floor plan. The day of event, my centerpiece looked even better than the sample.OVERALL: By the end of the night, we had people fighting over who would get our centerpiece. Everyone wanted to take pictures with our centerpiece because it was amazingly beautiful. If you are looking for a florist who is genuine, professional, reliable and just flat out awesome, look no further than Crystal and Joe and Ninfa's Flowers.

I loved it! Our flowers was beautiful!

Crystal and Joe were the best to work with. They were the last florist I met with for the wedding and I decided to work with them after viewing pictures of their work. They were able to capture what I wanted perfectly and went beyond my expectations. The flowers were beautiful! The quality of their work looked like I spent a fortune on flowers. We received complements left and right and our guests were all trying to take the arraingements home. Both Crystal and Joe were very friendly and professional and really worked with me to be able to stay within my budget without looking like budget flowers. I highly recommend Ninfa's for any of your florist needs. I know I will be recommending them to all my friends and have already been asked by several for their information.

We are very happy with the results our florist provided for us for our special day. All I have to say don't waste your gas shopping elsewhere. They are very affordable, the quality of service is exceptional. Give them a try. Thanks guys.

They were very affordable, very helpful & everything turned out nice. Thank you so much.

They were very affordable & helpful & everything turned out nice. Thank you.

My florist created beautiful, unforgettable arrangements. I had no clue as to what flowers to use, except that I wanted roses & other flowers & the colors we chose were white & red. Their suggestions & knowledge with floral trends were what made us decide on choosing them for our wedding. The arrangements looked like the ones in Martha Stewart Wedding Flowers Magazine, but with down to earth prices. I can't thank Crystal, Joe & their staff enough. They are the GREATEST!!!

My friend recommended me to the florist that created her wedding arrangements. I just wanted to share my experience with this florist. They are so friendly, affordable & they understand exactly what I want for my wedding. It's a tiny little flower shop in a shopping center. I was able to see pictures of their work & samples of the wedding they are working on. I signed a wedding contract & gave a deposit of $50.00. I was amazed that they were able to work with my budget. I have a budget of $1500.00 for flowers & I will only be spending $1244.88
The flower list consists of:
1 bouquet for myself.
1 bouquet for reception to throw.
1 maid of honor bouquet.
9 bride's maids bouquets.
2 corsage for moms.
1 boutonnier for my fiance.
1 boutonnier for the best man.
9 boutonniers for groomsmen.
2 boutonniers for fathers.
2 arrangements for church.
10 bows for the pews.
1 centerpiece for our table.
30 centerpieces for guest tables.
The price given is for delivery & set up. Did I mention that I also got our invitations there. I only paid $0.57 cents per invitation. We are so happy. I highly recommend you check out this florist.

AMAZING FLOWERS, BEAUTIFUL ARRANGEMENTS, EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND BEST OF ALL AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE. I guarantee that you will not find another vendor providing you top notch quality at such a good price. I received many positive comments on my floral arrangements. Two of my girlfriends also used Chrystal and Joe's service for their wedding. I recently ordered a bouquet for a bride (last week), it was my gift to one of my girlfriends and she was in love with her bouquet. If I know of someone getting married I always tell them about Ninfa's flowers. I promise, you will not find another vendor that can provide you with both quality + professionalism = good price.Another plus about Joe and Chrystal my flowers arrived on time to the church and were then transferred to the reception area on time and in the right place. One less thing to worry about on your wedding date.

We have worked with Ninfa's Flowers on numerous occassions and we are always taken aback by their commitment to quality, service and competetive pricing. They will go the extra mile for their clients no matter what the budget is. They work diligent with you in getting what you want. They have creative and alternate flowers based on your favorite colors, scent and appeal. Kanela highly recommends them. Go for a consultation and see what Crystal and Joe could do for you...

What a wonderful team! Kristal & Joe work really hard to make your vision come to life! Your wish is their command. Very professional and personable service. I would recommend their service to anyone who is having a special event and would like top quality and flowers to express their happiness.
