Hockridge Florist

I don’t even think I can express how amazing this place was. The most beautiful, vibrant colored flowers even though I kind of ordered them last minute they did the most amazing job! Saw the flowers over a week later and they were still really pretty so very impressed. I don’t know who the lady was helping me but everyone was very friendly and helpful. This will officially be my go to place for flowers for whatever the occasion is :)

Worked with the owner, Ann (e?), to arrange flower delivery for my wife. My wife was turning 30 and I explained that I wanted 3 dozen roses for such a special day. I had originally asked for white roses since my wife had recently planted many bushes around our house. In response, Ann asked me to describe my wife and (here is the really cool part) if she found something really special at the flower market could she change the color on the fly. I told her that she is the expert and I would lean on her deicsion making. Great call there because everybody (especially my wife) loved the flower arrangement. Ann went with 3 dozen sterling silver roses dressed up with a splash of glitter. You can see for yourself, but the arrangement was really unique and breathtaking. Thank you to Hockridge Florist for making my wife’s big day even better!

AMAZING people and flowers! When I went in to get my first «estimate» for our wedding in 2013 I was treated with such kindness and exemplary customer service that I committed on the spot. The flowers were EXACTLY what I had envisioned and then some. Perfect and very reasonably priced. Since then, my husband often brings me flowers at work always from Hockridge. The staff remembers us and treats us like friends. Friday I went in to order flowers for my nieces memorial service the next day. They were so kind and compassionate as we gave memories and talked about what we wanted to say with the arrangement. When it was delivered to the church I knew it was ours. It was exquisite. Perfectly conveying a mountain meadow with uniquely lovely accents. They even thoughtfully centered the arrangement with a gorgeous keepsake piece for my sister in law. I can’t say enough to express our gratitude and satisfaction each and every time we use Hockridge. The BEST florists EVER in our book.

They are truly amazing.
My daughter’s low-​budget backyard wedding was absolutely magical. That was the word used by multiple guests. «Magical.»
Ann Marie, Laura and Stephen were there from the beginning to help with suggestions since we went into this with very few ideas in mind. It was definitely money well spent to hire Ann Marie as the wedding coordinator. She took care of everything, which was a blessing for me since I live in another state.
Everytime I talked to my daughter I was amazed at how calm she was. She knew Ann, Laura and crew had everything handled and was not worried about a thing.
I have been singing their praises to all who will listen. And, I have two more daughters. Believe me, I will definitely be using this very professional crew again and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in enjoying the day.

I can’t even express how amazed I am with Hockridge Florist! I utilized them for the flowers, rentals, and coordination for my wedding on June 6, 2015.
Flowers: The flowers were absolutely exquisite, simply put. From the flowers in my hair to the matching flowers in the flower girl’s basket, Hockridge did a superb job. I had expressed that I wanted the wild flower look, and the florists at Hockridge were able to take my little suggestions and make a beautiful wonderland that SO many of my guests were amazed by. My bouquet was everything I’d imagined, corsages were adorable, and the flowers for the sweetheart table were breathtaking. Truly, I have a hard time expressing how gorgeous of a job they did. Laura and Ann Marie both did an amazing job and worked with me a ton to achieve the wedding of my dreams.
Rentals: Hockridge offers all of the rentals you need: chairs, tables, linens, vases, china, etc. I utilized all of these services and for a small fee they set everything up as well. It was hassle free and they use very high quality products. The only thing I would «warn» is that you are responsible for making sure there are no food products on the china when you’re done, so be sure to delegate someone (or your caterer) to do a quick rinse of any china you use.
Coordination: This is how my wedding, one in which was fairly low budget and at a home, became so polished that I’ve had a myriad of guests tell me it was the most beautiful wedding and smoothest they’ve ever attended. I hired Ann Marie as my coordinator around August of 2014 and she helped me every step of the way, but she went above and beyond on the day of the wedding. I literally never had to deal with any problems the day of the wedding because she handled it. My bustle became undone and she instantly had a safety pin for it. The cake looked a bit plain, so she decked it out with flowers, some extra props we had bought beforehand, and made it one of the most beautiful portions of the wedding (it literally had its own spotlight!) I had the wedding at a beautiful private Victorian home in Redlands and the owner has had multiple weddings. Afterwards, the owner told me that Ann Marie was the best coordinator she’d ever encountered. To top it all off, when we didn’t know what to do with the excess food, Ann Marie asked if we’d like for her to donate it to a local homeless shelter. How amazing is that?!
In conclusion: Just hire them! Seriously, I can’t express how amazing of a job they did. They are worth every single penny and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

I appreciate great customer service and when I called to make my order, Ann was so helpful!

This place is amazing! Best quality of flowers I’ve seen. The attention to detail and creative design are always a pleasure to see. No wont go anywhere else!

All I can say is AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! Hockridge did my wedding flowers this past weekend, and let me tell you, they delivered and then some! I had a specific vision for my day and they were able to design everything I expected in my mind. AnnMarie and her associates went above and beyond for me. I ended up going through them for not only flowers but all the wedding décor as well (candles, pumpkins, votives, copper wire lights, lanterns, etc). They were there at least two days before the wedding setting up and also met with me after the wedding to ensure we received everything we bought. The biggest part of our wedding budget went to the flowers and décor, because it was so important to create the perfect ambiance. Everything turned out wonderful, it was my dream wedding. Thank you Hockridge!!!

These flowers were beautiful for my sister in law’s shower! And Debra took such great care in making my arrangement exactly what I wanted! I’ll be back!

My wedding was in June (2014). When I first went into Hockridge everything was great! Jo have me an awesome vision for my arrangements and bouquets. Well, the week before the weeding I went in to pay my balance, and confirm everything was still a go. I was then told (I believe only bc I went in the shop) that Jo was on medical leave and would not be doing my wedding arrangements. At that point ann wanted to «finalize» my order. (Shouldn’t that already be done?) there was a discrepancy in the final price, but it was their mistake so I didn’t have to pay the difference. So we confirmed that my MOH would pick up the bouquets and boutonnières and that my center pieces would be delivered at 330pm the day of my wedding. So, the day of my MOH picks up the flowers and CONFIRMS the rest will be delivered. (The venue is one block from the shop) at 530pm when I’m getting ready to walk down the isle, there are NO CENTER PIECES ON THE TABLES. And the arch piece is not hung, because they weren’t delivered. So, at 600pm I’m told that Hockridge is closed and no one can get a hold of them. Good thing I had Anns personal cell #. That is the only reason I got my flowers delivered at 7pm. I was furious. So my husband goes in explains what happens, ann checks the invoice to make sure that’s what we had agreed upon, and offers $ 100 refund!!! We ended up getting $ 200 because that’s what my husband told her was the lowest we would accept. And she had the nerve to tell him to tell me «I’m sorry that this happened, I hope we can help you again, but please let her know that this is a $ 300 loss for me.» I probably would never use them again. They don’t return phone calls, even when you repeatedly go in! And I should have been notified Jo would not be the designer for my flowers.

We have been customers of Hockridge for the past 10 years and absolutely love them! Every arrangement has been beautiful and made with love! We have also been to several events that Hockridge has provided flowers for and can only say that they provide the best quality for everything they do. They are a small, family owned business that offers great quality at good prices, and will definitely use them for all of our future floral needs. Call Ann at hockridge, and you won’t be dissapointed! !

I left the details of the floral arrangements up to Ann and I was so pleased with the flowers for our memorial service. EVERYONE commented on how beautiful the flowers were. Thank you for helping make a difficult event easier for the family. Thank you!!!

Hockridge has THE BEST arrangements! Over here at Klingbail Chiropractic Inc., almost everyone that walks into our office has something great to say about our beautiful flowers. They always deliver our flowers on time, and they have amazing service! I would recommend Hockridge Florist & Wedding Boutique to anyone who enjoys creative, unique, and personal floral arrangements for any occasion!

We attended my Great Uncle’s funeral last weekend. Because of all the positive reviews, we ordered a wreath floral arrangement from Hockridge. We were very pleased. The flowers were beautiful and fresh.

This is more than just a florist they are they are experts at what they do. Our family and extended family and any friends we tell about them have just been using their services for decades. The owner really cares about her customers and she is prideful of the work she does. From ordering a simple boutiques to having Hockridge Handel an entire funeral and reception from flowers to tables and chairs beverages and the most tasty food and deserts. I could go on and on but some people will not read a review that is too long. If you need a boutique or and entire event superbly handled, pick up the phone and call Hockridge Florist.
As for the the gentlemen who was disappointed with his 6 roses, just a thought, plan ahead and call first on Valentines day.
Thank you, the entire Thornberry Family.

Best flower shop in redlands. They’re amazing. Everyone was awesome today, considering it was valentines day and things can be a little crazy. And after the morning I had, they made my Valentines awesome. I had a horrible experience at another local shop this am and they fixed it for me last min when I was in a panic. I just moved back to redlands and I will never go to another florist as long as I live in the area. The owner is a saint and the sweetest person ever and makes beautiful arrangements. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Thank you again for helping me out and making my valentines day wonderful.

I have been here 3 times total, 2 of which I had great experiences.
However, my experience this morning, Valentine’s Day, was TERRIBLE and I don’t think I’ll ever purchase flowers from this place again.
First off, it’s Valentine’s Day, they’re stressed, I understand that 100%
I arrived at about 10:30 this morning to pickup a flower arrangement for my girlfriend. There were 2 people ahead of me that had already been helped and were waiting for their flowers and it took quite some time for even 1 of the 3 girls behind the counter to acknowledge me. Even after the other customers left, I was standing at the cash register awkwardly while they talked to each other and insisted on answering phones over helping an in store customer.
I was eventually greeted, not even by the girl on the register, and said that I would like half a dozen roses like the display on the table near the entrance. The woman walked over and grabbed the actual display set that weren’t in very good condition. I asked nicely if she could arrange a fresh one from the back (like they have happily offered both other times I’ve been in there) and she said ‘no we don’t have any more available’.
So, its 10am on V-​day and you don’t have anymore roses available?
Sorry, but I’m not buying that. Sounds like someone is just too lazy to put in some legwork.
I was in a hurry as I needed to drop these off before work so I said id just take them. ‘Ok. Fine’ she replied.
$ 54 for the worst set of roses I’ve ever received from any flower shop. I felt cheated on the walk back to my car.
IN SHORT: The woman in front of me received a giant, beautiful, custom arrangement from the back and was charged $ 70.
I was charged $ 54 for 6 mediocre, blandly arranged roses that looked like they had been sitting since yesterday morning and were honestly on par with a set you’d get from Trader Joe’s and received horrid, HORRID service.

I stopped in 15 minutes before closing time on a Friday to ask them to make a custom boutonnierre. Without hesitating, they took my small penguin figurine and worked it into an awesome boutonierre for my 16 year old son to wear to prom.

My first Unilocal review –ever– and Hockridge is certainly worthy of it, since I found them from the positive reviews on this site.
I wanted a special arrangement for my cousin’s memorial in Loma Linda. He was an avid deep-​sea fisherman, and I asked if they could possibly make a floral bluefin tuna.

I spoke to Lisa on the phone, who took the time to find a picture of a bluefin and consult with their floral designer before quoting me a reasonable price and giving me assurances that they would do a wonderful job (even though this tuna would be ther first!)
The tuna was amazing! It was a 5 foot whopper, beautifully shaped, with true-​to-​life colors, and complete with fins. We were all impressed and so happy that Hockridge did such a wonderful, professional, and artistic job.
My thanks to all at Hockridge — with special thanks to Lisa, who was so helpful and sincere on the phone, and Jo, who I’m told is the designer and main builder of the masterpiece. It was an obvious labor of love from all involved.
I highly recommend this florist for custom floral design, and I thank Unilocal for leading me to them.

Hockridge has saved my ass so many times with the perfect bouquet /​arrangement. Their employees can make whatever you need in your necessary price range and quick. I have gone to Hockridge for anniversaries, funerals, Easter you name it. A handful of times, I have gone in 30 minutes till closing (I know this sucks, I’ve had it happen to me) while they are getting ready the next days deliveries and they are able to put together what I needed right away. When you use them ask for a little bit of spray glitter on our flowers, it draws light to the bouquet and makes it shine!
*If you need a special color /​variety of flowers go in a minimum of a week before so Hockridge can order it from their supplier in enough time for your event.
