Swenson & Silacci

Unimpressive experience. Got my wedding bouquet from here and was very disappointed. I asked for a lot of Cala lilies and not too much other stuff. The bouquet on the day was seriously meh. Only had 8 Cala stems. And they were a combo of large and mini, when I asked for mini. And then a bunch of other crap that was wilty and old and generally looked like crap. I didn’t pick them up on the day because I was a little busy, but had I, I would not have accepted them. Very disappointing. I couldn’t save anything from them for drying to have as a keep sake. The girls bouquets that were fake that I arranged myself were a lot nicer. Very upsetting.

They screwed up flowers twice for my grandmothers grave!!! If u ever talk to Marc he makes promises he can’t keep!!! They think their better than everyone else as a local there are several other flower shops that are cheaper also have beautiful flower arrangements to choose from!!! I have seen beautiful work from Swenson & Silacci However my dealing with them is a HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT!!!

Our daughter’s wedding bouquet was so beautiful! Ginnie did a wonderful job and was so easy to work with.

My Mother’s Day bouquet arrived a day early which was a treat. The colors in the arrangement were beautiful but the condition of the flowers was pitiful. The two snapdragons were broken, the lovely pink rose was bruised until it had turned brown, many of the flowers were missing up to half their petals and the foliage was tattered. I called to report the condition of the flowers and the person on the phone was nice but no offers of a replacement or refund was made nor an apology. Two days later I received a lovely, flawless bouquet with a note of apology.

My wedding flowers were beyond beautiful. Set up was perfection.
It’s over a year later and I’m calling in an order «just because «to bring more joy into our home.
This is the right shop for your flowers.

The best in town hands down. They back their lovely work!

S & S did the flowers for my wedding last month in Monterey. I was referred to them by my wedding venue. I primarily worked with Andrea –Tracie helped me out as well — both were a pleasure to work with. My now hubs and I were able to meet with Andrea early last year to go over ideas and expectations. Being that I live in San Jose, we kept in touch every so often via email, and chatted on the phone right before the wedding. I’m so happy that everything came out beautiful and was exactly what I wanted. Thank you Andrea and S & S!

I put in the order on a Sunday and got the flowers delivered by Monday, for a great price and they were even more perfect than in the photo. I am nothing short of IMPRESSED! Thank you!

Ginny (not sure of spelling) is a wedding angel and superhero in disguise. Though I didn’t get a chance to meet her until the big day when my bouquets got delivered to my suite, she was like a friend I could vaguely describe a vision to and –poof– she ran and made our wedding flowers look breathtaking! Come with an idea and you can count on S&S (and especially Ginny) to bring your desired ambiance and flower design to life. To Ginny’s boss, you have a rockstar on your hands– she goes the extra ten miles every single time– be sure to keep her happy :)
Swenson and Silacci are trustworthy, creative, and only use high quality flowers. Your wedding flowers will be sturdy and will last through the next few days.

Swenson & Silacci was so wonderful to me! I eloped at Pfeiffer Beach and only needed a small boutique and a couple boutonnieres. I had a budget and they worked with me no problem. I had to add 2 wrist corsages a week before the wedding and they did it no problem. I sent them a picture of the boutique I wanted and the outcome was identical to the picture!

The flowers from Swenson & Silacci for our wedding at Asilomar were beautiful. Kim was my consultant, and she helped me choose the prettiest and most appropriate bouquet and table decorations for our small family wedding. They were delivered on time and in perfect shape — I couldn’t be happier with their service.

I just had my wedding at Gardener Ranch in Carmel Valley and I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Swenson & Silacci. I worked with Lisa and she was THE BEST! She was so patient and attentive during all the calls/​emails and meetings. She really understood my vision and made it a reality. I can’t describe how amazed I was at all the floral arrangements at my wedding, they were exactly as I had imagined. My bouquet and all the bridesmaid bouquets were perfect and the boutonnieres were so great. Contact with Swenson and Silacci was seamless and they were quick to respond to any questions or changes I had. I highly recommend them. They worked so well within our budget and had great suggestions for how to maximize the effect of the flowers. Lisa suggested using baby’s breath to define the arch where we had our ceremony to make more impact, and it was my favorite thing of the whole day. Loved working with them and was so happy with my wedding day flowers!!!

Swenson & Silacci are amazing!!! I was the indecisive bride who initially wanted pink/​white/​cream and later changed to purple. Lisa helped me with everything, she was so patient and helpful. I told her that I needed a small bouquet, boutonnière and flowers for my cake. She worked with my budget and exceeded my expectations. Thank you Swenson & Silacci!!!

For my wife’s birthday I thought I’d surprise her with flowers from her favorite flower shop. Often she would have lunch a Rosine’s on Alvarado and walk in and see what Swenson’s & Selacci had on the shelf. They delivered a wonderful arraignment of which she just loves. Score one for Swenson’s & Selacci!

perfection! amazing always.

Spoke on the phone a few days ago with a very nice girl who helped me book an appointment for my fiancé and me to meet with a florist to talk about our wedding flowers. Today we were down in Monterey, meeting with other vendors, and had carefully lined every other appointment around the one with Swenson and Silacci. We walked into the store, 5 minutes early for our appointment, and waited over 10 minutes before we were acknowledged by any employee. At the time, there was only one other family of 4 in the store, who was wrapping up their purchase. So we walked a few laps around the store, checked out some of the flowers and gifts, and kept waiting. A woman finally asked if she could help us, we said that we had an appointment, and she disappeared, promising to come back to meet with us. The wedding booklets were on a table next to us, and no one offered for us to browse through them while we waited. After another almost 10 minutes of waiting, we left. We had already met with another florist that went above and beyond with her customer service, and S and S lost out on booking an entire wedding’s worth of flowers. Disappointing customer service.

Absolutely amazing! Swenson and Silacci did our arrangements for our wedding and I cannot say enough. I was blown away with just how beautiful they turned out. Andrea was amazing she made everything so easy, I was living in Houston and she worked with my mother in law, she listened to exactly what I wanted and created it in amazing arrangements and the bouquets! The price was very reasonable and they took all the stress out of the floral on the wedding day! Thank you Andrea and everyone at Swenson and Silacci!

I called Swenson and Silacci to deliver an arrangement to my parents for their 50^th wedding anniversary — they were staying at a hotel nearby and the concierge had recommended S&S. I ordered the «Premium» option of the «How Sweet It Is» arrangement. What was delivered was a thin, puny arrangement that looked smaller than the «Standard» photo on their site. I am upset and disgusted at what they delivered — a 50^th wedding anniversary is kind a big deal, and S&S made me look like a cheapskate.

We hired Donna of Swenson & Silacci Flowers for our wedding at the Best Western Monterey Beach Resort, and we are extremely happy with our decision.
Donna made me feel extremely relaxed and comfortable from the moment I met her in the store. Not only did Donna work within my budget (substituting flowers where possible, advising us what we could do ourselves), but she helped me find the types of flowers that would fit our rustic/​vintage theme using our wedding colors. We brought in our own vases, some vase fillers, and some wine corks for Donna to use (if she saw fit) and the results were simply stunning! Donna was able to incorporate our décor into the flowers and table displays in an elegant and timeless way (yes, she set up the tables at the site).
I would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a wedding florist!

OK, so here’s my story… my cousin just got married on Saturday August 3^rd… they are staying at the Sanctuary Beach Resort for a few nights and I called them to see what local florist they’d recommend for an arrangement I wanted to surprise and have delivered to the newlyweds. They recommended, and I called Swensen & Silacci Flowers this morning around 11am. Spoke with a very friendly and knowledgeable florist (never did get her name), told her I wanted to spend $ 50 on flowers. Done! I wanted star gazer lilies as they are my cousins favorite flower, all amongst lotsa color. Done. Delivery charge was $ 9.99. Done.
The whole ordering, paying, picking out process was a snap! I gave her all the info over the phone and it was sooooo easy! Amazing right! I REALLY wanted the arrangement delivered today and I hoped I had called early enough to make it… YUP I DID! Yay! I was so happy! The beautiful square arrangement was delivered to the Resort and delivered to my cousin by 4pm! She sent me a picture via text and they had the star gazer lilies I requested! The arrangement looked beautiful! Thanks so much to the awesome florist I dealt with! I even called her back once the flowers arrived to personally thank her but I guess she had left for the day, so I had another person pass on the kudos!
All of my interaction with this company was on the phone. So my review is based upon that.
