Three Petals

After my sister used Three Petals for her wedding and everyone raved about her flowers, I knew I had to book them immediately after I got engaged. I seriously loved everything about my floral arrangements for my wedding. Everyone couldn’t stop telling me how beautiful the flowers were — and that solidified my decision to go with Three Petals. I had my reception at the Venue where Catherine also owns and operates. She was able to accommodate my vision and delivered even more than I could ever ask for. I wanted a floral wall but couldn’t afford a full wall — Catherine created a deconstructed floral wall that blew my mind — it was made of columns and shapes of flowers that looked breathtaking. We decided on short centerpieces since we had such a large party (430 guests) so that it would not obstruct anyone’s views, and I’m glad we chose that route as it helped me save money to spend on other things such as minimizing lighting (uplights were not necessary for centerpieces now). This team is amazing and they definitely have creative talent. So happy I had the chance to use them and would recommend them to anyone interested in fabulous and sophisticated floral arrangements.

Three Petals was amazing for our wedding! Cat is so easy to work with and able to understand exactly what you want! I have seen several different events she has provided flowers for and they were all amazing!

Cat is amazing! She was so efficient with my time, a great communicator, and amazing with email! As an out of town bride, this was extremely vital for me! Cat definitely goes above and beyond, helped me pinpoint on a vision, and is just a doll! I absolutely recommend her, and would love to use her for any future events! No one else would meet a client after just giving birth! In addition, her work is just gorgeous!

Cat was so great to work with… My flowers and linens were beyond beautiful for my wedding and she was reasonable priced! Will use her for all of my events, so amazing!

This review stems back to my experience with Three Petals 2 years ago when I was planning my wedding.
A friend of mine had used them for a wedding and I can’t say that I remembered alot about the flowers, but I do remember it being a lovely wedding. And truthfully, I didn’t know where to start… so it just seemed like a good idea to make an appointment with Three Petals.
I met with Fayth who was perfectly nice. I don’t remember all the details, but I do know that we went over our venue, the look and feel I wanted, we went over her albums and she proposed a few ideas.
While their stuff is most certainly pretty… I knew almost immediately that she didn’t quite understand my aesthetic or what I was going for. I was looking for whimsical and rustic… and her suggestions were definitely a bit more on the grand scale and traditional side. But, her ideas weren’t ugly by any means – just not me and just not representative of the Pinterest photos i showed her. But hey, it’s a process, so no big deal.
I gave her my budget and I told her I needed it to work for both wedding events (I was having a more traditional American wedding and Ceremony Saturday at the Carondelet House in DTLA and a traditional Vietnamese reception Sunday night). It’s hard… but I told her that there was a little flexibility. She seemed to completely understand… and I left pretty optimistic.
I get a quote relatively quick… and find that the quote was just outrageously high. I’m talking about more than DOUBLE what I told her our budget was. When I said a little flexible… i meant $ 500. I didn’t mean double what I was able to afford.
I was blown away. I would have preferred her reaching out to me to tell me simply it wasn’t possible or figure out what to do… but truthfully, the quote nearly gave me a heart attack.
In the end, she didn’t reach out to me after sending the quote and i didn’t respond to her email either. She was perfectly nice and pleasant… but I just felt that I didn’t feel it was worth it. Our aesthetics were too different… and truthfully, if the quote is double what you can afford… can you even work your way down to something even remotely doable?

I searched many places before deciding to go with Three Petals. Their prices were reasonable and Cat really worked with us to make our vision come true. We had a anniversary dinner at The resort At Pelican Hill and everything looked beautiful. Just look at the pictures! Enough said. She also did our flowers for a bridal photo shoot (bouquets & boutonnieres) .Thanks so much to three petals for professional, timely, & friendly service. Would absolutely recommend and use if we have future events.

Cat gave us exactly what we wanted for our wedding– which is saying a lot since we were making decisions all the way from NYC! And our requests were vague, in line with «some pink flowers, but not too pink», and «flowers on the top and sides of our wedding mandap, but not too many on the side».
Despite these requests in which we quite did not know what we wanted, only what we didn’t want, Cat managed to give us exactly what we wanted. I was impressed that she looked at my Pinterest board to come up with exactly what we had envisioned. We had a combination of blush and white flowers, and our reception had centerpieces our guests still talk about– candelabras, high and low pieces, orbs, and candles. We could not recommend Cat more!

The team at Three Petals are absolutely a pleasure to work with, and their work of art on my big day was absolutely stunning!!! They are definitely of high quality in the industry, yet their prices are fair and reasonable in comparison to others. Thank you Three Petals for helping our dream wedding come true. Go with Three Petals! You won’t regret it!

Cat Chu was AWESOME… she met with us on a Sunday afternoon, the ONLY time that worked for my (then Fiancé) and I… she met us at the office and we discussed what we were thinking… but we’re not florists, so we asked for her opinions… she came up with so many awesome ideas! Her prices were pretty competitive, so we felt good about going with Three Petals.
Our wedding was Sunday June 2^nd… My bridesmaids and I arrived to the venue and the flowers were already there! Everything looked AMAZING! The flowers on the cake looked incredible, our bouquets were awesome and the boutineers were great too! Cat, you did a wonderful job, thank you SO much… as soon as the photographer sends me the pictures, I’ll be posting them here and emailing them to you, Cat. Thank you again!

Disappointed.
Before the wedding, we were led to believe that we would be in for something special. The expectation was high and so was the letdown. We were promised of something extraordinary and I’m sure they meant it if only they could deliver.
Their work was quite ordinary for the price that we had to pay (we definitely expected more).
Despite that, we had a great wedding (that deserves a star by itself)!!!

Cat was amazing. I was so glad our wedding planner Elegant Events suggested 3 Petals. The mandap looked amazing and she did a great job with all our requirements … Good job. Would definitely recommend.

We had the pleasure of working with Catherine Chu of 3Petals who impressed us by how quickly she understood what my vision was for our wedding. She listened to me describe the ideas I had in mind, and only made recommendations whenever necessary (unlike some florist I talked to). And when it came to their pricing, we found that their prices were reasonable so we immediately booked our altar décor, floral sprays, boutonnieres, and corsages with them.
Although their prices were reasonable, we kept thinking we can still save more money if we just make our own centerpieces and bridesmaids’ bouquets. We were so indecisive, yet Cat managed to stay sweet and patient the entire time (even though I’m sure we were probably driving her nuts). She gave us a lot of time to figure out what was best for us with no pressure at all. In the end, we found out that we would only save a little, but also take more time and effort just to make them ourselves. So after going back and forth, we finally decided to have 3Petals take care of all our floral needs… and we’re so happy we did! They did such a wonderful job that our guests kept telling us how beautiful all our floral arrangements looked, especially our centerpieces and bouquets… and to think we were considering making them ourselves! Luckily we didn’t make that mistake!
Thank you Cat and 3Petals for making our special day so beautiful!

Cat Chu was fabulous to work with! She did a phenomenal job with my wedding this month. I am very picky and wanted something artistic. She was very patient and made sure she not only met my expectations but far exceeded them!

I got married in November of 2009 and Three Petals went above and beyond my expectation. My family and friends we so impressed with our décor it made my day!!! They made my dream wedding come true!

Can’t believe I’m the first one on Unilocal to write review for 3 Petals.
Use 3 Petals per my co-worker’s recommandation for my wedding in May 2009. Can’t be happier! The Altar arrangement exceed my expectation, beautiful with snap dragon, curly willow, roses & orchid that match my bouquet. It also make my mom’s day because Fayth listen and understand her need to have big arrangements that can be view from the back. Worth every penny and looks absolutely stunning! Very easy to work with, show up ahead of time and even help pin some of the flowers on guys. I’m so glad I went with her
