Amazing Blooms

If it were possible to give zero stars, I absolutely would. Lured in be her «credentials and expertise», midway through the process my gut began telling me that all that glitters is not gold.
Unfortunately, I had to find out the hard way. After receiving over two thousand dollars for florals for my wedding, Virginia became extremely condescending and patronizing. Still hopeful that she would deliver, my wedding planner and I decided to simply pray and move forward.
On the actual day of my wedding, my amazing wedding planner informed me that although the flowers were not what we expected and were already wilting and dying upon delivery, she was taking care of it. Between my wedding planner and bridesmaids, new bouquets were made with flowers from Trader Joes for a fraction of the price. The only thing we were able to reuse from the wilted single stemmed hydrangea bridesmaid bouquets were the ribbon.
My bouquet, which I paid almost $ 200 for on its own was full of dying and wilted flowers and thorns. I had to use scissors from my hotel to cut the thorns off because of how they were pricking my fingers.
My only and biggest concern for my wedding were my flowers because of my own love for floral design, and my dream turned into a nightmare on the biggest day of my life. For any new bride, I would recommend them stay far far away from Amazing Blooms Studios unless you want your big day ruined.

if your looking for an expensive, manipulative, and immature florist, Virginia is the way to go. not only is EVERYTHING an ‘extra fee’ but she is not even polite, more like rude and difficult to work with about everything. we found that out after giving her $ 150 holding fee, (keep in mind thats not the deposit fee that was also extra) she refuses to give back nor make up for it. finding out all the extra fee’s; delivery, setting up, transferring, AND cleaning up since you can’t keep any center pieces, was a huge charge, we decided not to go with her. she had said the money can go towards anything we wanted so with her not giving the initial money back we asked for it to ONLY go towards my bridal bouquet, she denied and said she was attending and doing the flowers for her niece the same weekend. then why did she take our money in the first place??? i call effing bull sh*t on this women, do NOT go to her! she told off my father and did not respond back to my mother about trying to come to an agreement. ALSO– she is retired and doing this as a side job, from her home, and only cares about taking your money. we found a FAR better florist who actually cared, did an amazing job, and were able to keep the center pieces for half the price.

My wife an I were disappointed with the quality of flowers that Virgina delivered on our wedding day. When we first met we were told we would get invited to one of her events to preview her work and to show us an example of what she was going to create for us. We never got a call or invite. On the day of our wedding I thought we were at the wrong location since the flowers colors did not match what we had requested. I thought we were at a Valentines party… PINK/​RED/​WHITE FLOWERS… we had requested for RED colors. Flowers were old, wilted, etc. My flower was dead.
Nothing Amazing about this florist. Not for weddings but perfect for a Valentines party.

Virginia is very nice no complaints with customer service.
Cons: my wedding bouquet had wilted flowers which were very obvious in person and in pictures. My bridesmaids bouquets also had wilted flowers and weren’t very full. The bouquets looked small. The handle was supposed to be blinged out but had only a black ribbon around it. My husbands flower was wilted and half dead. I had asked for all red centerpieces and was given pinks/​whites with barely any red. I was very disappointed with all the flowers. For the amount of money I paid I expected much better quality! I would’ve been better off doing it on my own

I was driving down commonwealth and this flower van cut me off the road. After it still continued to swerve in and out of lanes and took a red light. As she passed me she had her head down and was txting. Out of coincidence i pulled aside her a car back at the next light so i got the phone number and when i called Virginia answered i told her what she had done and she said she needed to deliver wedding flowers and hung up on me after i told her what she had just done. I had a new born in my car. This is not the kind of business that should be. She is willing to hurt others to make a buck. While delivering flowers for someone beginning there life together she could of ended others. Think twice before you text and drive Virginia.

My husband and I used Amazing Blooms for our wedding on 05.17.15. The centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnières, turned out beautifully. Virginia was very pleasant to work with and was very helpful. She was so accommodating to our schedules. My husband and I work in the LA area and it was hard to find the time to meet up with her since we both get off work at 5pm and it would take us 2 hrs to drive to her office. She let us meet up with her at 8pm for our mock-​ups and final consultation. She listened to what we wanted, answered our questions promptly and was very professional. We can’t thank you enough. You did a fantastic job!

Virginia, the owner of Amazing Blooms, did a fabulous job at making my wedding beautiful! The day I met her at my wedding venue (Black Gold Golf Club) during a bridal expo/​show when I booked with her she included a free chandelier, crystal drapes, damask runners, and more. The bouquets, flower and candle centerpieces were gorgeous. The planning went so smoothly especially since my wedding day was during Valentines Day weekend. The flowers were doubled in price because it was Valentines Day weekend, but the prices were still reasonably affordable. If anyone is looking for a florist I would recommed Virginia from Amazing Blooms. People from my wedding were complimenting her work. My husband, family, and I couldn’t have been more happier with how everything turned out. Everything was so elegant. It truly was a special day to remember!

Virginia made my wedding day truly Amazing! My husband and I were married on 10÷25÷14 and everything was perfect. Working with Virginia was easy and natural. The bouquets, archways, etc were exactly what I was looking for. She is really good at taking your ideas and adding a little pop of color here and a little bit of drama there and making your dreams come true!

Virginia, thank you for making our wedding day absolutely gorgeous! The bouquets, centerpieces, garland, crystal drapes, petals, candles, goblets, crystal pedestals, EVERYTHING was absolutely stunning and made our whole ceremony and reception our dream come true! I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and you and your team truly transformed our wedding venue at Sierra Lakes Golf Club.
Your customer service, quality, and floral designs are superior. What sets you apart from other floral designers is that you not only listened to what I wanted, but you immediately understood my vision and you gave me amazing ideas on how we could make my vision come to life.
Also, even though we planned for the ceremony to take place outside, it randomly rained which caused you to have to move everything inside at the last minute. Even in this unfortunate situation, you and your team were able to transfer everything with no problems and create an even better floral plan than we initially had. You made our wedding day so beautiful and I can’t thank you enough!

I had my wedding about a month ago now and I still think about my flowers! They came out so beautiful and I would recommend amazing blooms to anyone who is planning a wedding. I’m not a very visual person but Virginia, the owner of amazing blooms, was very helpful. I was not very specific as to flowers I wanted but had an idea of what I would want and Virginia pulled it together so well! She gave great advise during the few consultations we had! Probably one of the best vendors to work with! Could not have been happier with my flowers! :)

Used Amazing Blooms for my daughter ‘sweet sixteen birthday party! I couldn’t have been more happy and amazed with the quality of the flowers and how fresh they were! They were exactly how I wanted them and just brought life to the party! :) Virginia was the most helpful. I’m going to use Amazing Blooms for future occasions :)

If you are looking for a florist book with Amazing Blooms! Virginia is amazing! We felt so comfortable with her during our first consultations. She goes over all the types of flowers and what you envision for your wedding. She is very detailed and specific. We brought her pictures of what we wanted for the ceremony and centerpieces and it was exactly what we wanted. We loved everything she did with the floral arrangements especially the gazebo it was absolutely breath taking. Thank you so much for full filling our vision. =D
We were so happy with everything!

I’ve been meaning to add a review for this place for awhile now… It wasn’t located on Unilocal initially though. Virginia, the owner, is nice… But the flowers during my wedding wasn’t what I expected at all. Because though we had quite a few consultations and I even had her make sample centerpieces prior to my wedding, there is a clause in the contract that states that she can switch up the flowers on the day of the wedding if she can’t buy the flowers or find similar at better pricing, etc. Well, needless to say, my flowers were different during my actual Wedding. Having planned for everything to be perfect for my wedding and having seen samples prior to my wedding (so I did have general expectations), the flowers were my biggest disappointment.
The Trio Bouquet I bought as a toss bouquet that is suppose to break into three — it not only broke into more than 3 pieces but only consisted of roses and nothing like my actual bouquet. The worst part of my experience is that I had asked her not to use white color flowers during my wedding as they represent the flowers brought to funerals in my culture — and despite this, she used white flowers, just sprayed colored on them — the flowers looked pretty tacky.
My guests all commented on that and though for the most part, my wedding was awesome — the flowers were definitely not amazing… So if you are a bride who has a clear idea of what you want as your flowers, don’t use this florist. But if you aren’t picky, Virginia/​Amazing Blooms may be the florist for you.
