The Flower Garden

The Flower Garden was THE BEST vendor I hired for the wedding. The shop is a small shop - not impressive on the inside, no big frills but that's not what they are about. They do flowers and boy do they do it well! My flowers were AMAZING! The amount I spent was very affordable for what I received. I visited several florists for my wedding and the quotes I received were often double from what the Flower Garden was going to charge me. Matt is the nicest guy you'll ever work with. We met several times to go over details. He called me the night before the wedding just to make sure we had everything all set to go. He arrived at the church and did an excellent job with setting everything up. My altar flowers were breathtaking - I had two huge manzanita branches with roses and orchids. My centerpieces were my vision which he turned into a reality. I had a bunch of little extra things that I added and he executed everything flawlessly. He even threw in some extras which were quite nice and a big surprise for me. I cannot recommend Matt at the Flower Garden enough. He doesn't deserve 5 stars - he deserves 100! He's that good!

This is a hidden gem! After seeing many disappointing samples from other florists (after providing very detailed points), I walked into the flower garden and saw EXACTLY what I envisioned. I had an Indian wedding, and Matt put together the most beautiful and organic "mandap" ever. He used some saris I provided and ran with it. The colors and flowers I used for the wedding and reception were different, but it didn't matter. Matt mastered both. He also took the liberty to tell me that he could make better flower leis than the ones I chose. He didn't nickel and dime me and produced the most unique and beautiful leis. The aisle way, the mandap, the centerpieces, the cake decoration... all of it was just beautiful, and I am a very picky flower person! I also couldn't believe it was within my budget...the flowers definitely looked more expensive than what I paid. I appreciated his candidness and opinion on how to stretch my budget. Matt is a very honest and hard working person, and this only adds to his craft. I will definitely recommend and use them again and again.

Matt from the Flower Garden did an amazing job at my Castle Green wedding. I was so shocked at how all beautiful the flowers were. He's super nice and has such an enthusiastic personality. He went above and beyond what we discussed, and even included a few additional things we didn't expect but that he knew would look beautiful in the location, given his experience there. He knew exactly what I was thinking and I felt like he could read my mind. He created a beautiful setting, making sure to decorate almost every corner of the place. He even accommodated some additions to the flower selections. Everything arrived and was set up in time, as well as picked up afterwards. Although I was too tired to take at least one of the centerpieces home (he allowed us to keep all the short centerpieces), I regret that I didn't because the vases he used were awesome). So many people commented on how pretty they were. There was a missing jr. bridesmaid bouquet which caused a little bit of a scavenger hunt, but I think what happened was it was taken apart and used for the top of the wedding cake to replace the sugar flowers that didn't look as nice. It turned out OK because we used the toss bouquet instead.We love the Flower Garden! I'm not local, but I wish I could re-order my bouquet every year from him for my anniversary!!!

You HAVE to call Matt for your wedding flower needs! We had bids over 3 times his and we are certain that NO ONE would have done as great a job! Our wedding coordinator was also totally impressed with Matt's flowers...and she has seen them all! We chose to NOT go with the "old" names in town and are SO happy that we did! We have received tons of compliments from the guests who say that they have never seen such glorious flowers! The value of Matt's pricing was only secondary to the quality of his work and attention to detail. We had the flower arrangements sitting in our backyard in the HEAT for over a week and they still looked great. I was just blown away with the way that the flowers came out for this wedding and may I say that I am NOT easily impressed! We had some concerns going with a relatively "unknown" commodity in Pasadena but are SO glad that we did! You could not ask for a better deal or more beautiful work.....give Matt at the Flower Garden a call!

THE BEST FLOWER CHOICE ONE COULD GO WITH! Pasadena's got a new go to florist! Matt was THE most generous, flexible, wonderful, and reasonable florist! We could not have been happier with what he did for us! Truly amazing! He went above and beyond for us. Everytime I looked- I could not believe they were my flowers!!!! My bouquet was the most GORGEOUS bouquet I ever have seen- and all I told him was I wanted white with this broch on it. It was truly amazing and everyone stopped to hold it etc. The ceremony had petals with our initials and swirls and hearts. He put in SOOO much effort for us, and he was SUPER resonable in working with our price!!! When I got to the reception- he had placed 3 orhids on each napkin- something we had talked about but decided we could spend the money elsewhere- A COMPLETE SURPRISE. This was Matt- he just could not have been more accomodating, for example, he made our arrangements 3 times until we had all the flowers right- the colors, containers etc. He did not once complain about it. He also did the flowers for my bridal shower which were a complete hit at the party! Truly- a diamond in the rough. You need to check out Matt- he will do ANYTHING you want, show you as many times as you need and will deliver the BEST and MORE!!! We couldn't be happier!!!

Matt offers great simple yet elegant designs at a reasonably afforable price range. They have a lot of experience doing weddings, and have really reasonable delivery and setup fees.

After reading this review, I called this vendor to have something special created for my family. He only charged $40 for a center piece and my mother was so happy to receive it later that day. He added persimmons to the center piece and my Japanese mother was so surprised as this is very much a symbol of fall in Japan. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful show piece for our family's special event.

The owner is a family friend who has been providing our flowers for many years. I knew they were the only one's I wanted for this day. Mariano took care of us and did an amazing job! From finding my peonies, hydrangeas, and white lilac's to re-using flowers from the church at the reception on the day of. We loved all of our floral arrangements. They were so fresh and lasted for over a week after the wedding!! The peonies in my bouquet stayed fresh for a whole week. I highly recommend their services, but they are pricey!
