Green Petal Designs

Words can’t describe how incredibly talented Janelle is! My husband and I got married at the Palm Event Center in Pleasanton in November. Janelle did wonders in transforming a vast space into one that is intimate, romantic, and elegant while maintaining my desire for simplicity and rustic. This translates to ivory, champagne/​gold, and green with pops of wine and lots of candles at varying heights. Even until this day, people are still raving about the floral design inside the Estate Room (barrel room where we said our ‘I do’s’) and outside in the main reception space. I am even more thrilled that guests reused the centerpieces for the their Thanksgiving dinners and parties. Janelle really took note of my vision and budget. I also grew progressively curious throughout the creative process, excited to hear Janelle’s next great suggestion and unique find. I look forward to seeing more of Janelle’s work, she is certainly one of a kind. Even better, Janelle is very modest and gracious. I can’t wait to share her work when I receive my wedding photos!

Green Petal Designs went above and beyond my expectations! She clearly knew my vision and the flowers were absolutely stunning! Her attention to detail and her ability to transform my vision into such a masterpiece is something I will never forget.
My husband and I got married at Mark Hopkins Hotel, an old San Francisco Hotel. Her flowers brought the ballroom to life! I am eternally grateful!

I would recommend Green Petal Designs to all brides! Janelle has a great eye, attention to detail and her floral designs are the best. She worked on my wedding flowers and we used bright bold colors for a wildflower look. She nails down your vision — I wouldn’t work with anyone else! Also as a former bride I know how expensive flowers can be, Janelle is willing to work with different budgets and can recommend different types of flowers to use.

Janelle did the flowers for my daughters wedding. Her and her husband wanted succulents. They were beautiful and so bright and colorful!
I would recommend her she is a true artist. We were very pleased with her vision

I hired Janelle to do my floral wedding arrangements. Everything was beautiful! I planned my wedding from another state and Janelle made the entire process easy and stress free. I sent her a few pictures of what I wanted and told her my wedding colors. She sent back an inspiration board and it was exactly what I was going for. Janelle is incredibly talented as well as very sweet and her prices are affordable (especially for the Bay Area). Thank you so much Janelle!

Janelle is a true artist. Her flower arrangements were breathtaking and she somehow managed to seamlessly enhance the natural beauty of our Big Sur wedding venue without overshadowing it. Everyone was in awe of the loveliness of the arrangements, and our five year old Maid of Honour/​Flower Girl literally cried when we informed her that she couldn’t take her flower crown back home with her overseas due to customs issues– she loved it so much!
Planning an overseas wedding is tricky enough, but every step of the way was simple with Janelle. She is so easy to work with, and is flexible with you on budget to ensure you still have a beautiful final product– a rare find in an industry known for charging extortionate rates because your party starts with a «W». We can’t recommend Janelle enough!

I can’t begin to describe how beautiful the floral design was for our wedding. Janelle did an amazing job, and did a wonderful job of bringing our very vague ideas to life. She even came up with ways to reuse ceremony flowers at our reception to help with cost, which we sincerely appreciated.
Her vision was amazing, and people were scrambling to take the flowers home after the wedding. Honestly we can’t recommend her enough, and are so grateful to Janelle and her team for helping our wedding day turn out so beautifully!!!
If you are looking for a florist, I have to say you should just stop and book Janelle because you will not regret it.
Thank you, Janelle and team for all your hard work!!! We honestly can’t say how much we loved your flowers!!!

I cannot recommend Janelle highly enough. She clearly has a passion for floral design, and is a joy to work with. My husband and I decided rather late in the game (about a month before the wedding) that we wanted to incorporate boutonnieres for the menfolk. I contacted Janelle, and we met to discuss. She was very punctual, a great listener, and made great suggestions. She delivered our 12 boutonnieres (and one bonus boutonnière) to us in San Francisco the morning that we were departed for the wedding weekend in Sonoma. They were perfect and so beautiful! She had packed them so carefully, and the made the trip and were in great shape on the day of the wedding. Thanks Janelle!

Janelle was brilliant. We had to organise the flowers for our wedding from overseas and she was most accommodating. We swapped emails and photos and everything went absolutely swimmingly! And she even switched out a bouquet for a garland for my wife at very short notice! The flowers were stunning and perfect! We loved the wild flowers. Would definitely recommend!

I cannot thank Janelle enough for the most beautiful flowers and arrangements she made for our wedding in May (2015) at Bernardus in Carmel Valley. Janelle was so patient and flexible as I walked her through my ideas and was able to create exactly what I wanted and more! Her beautiful arrangements were complimented by no less than 20 people that day and afterwards. Thank you Janelle!!!

My sister and I both got married a month apart this summer and both ending up using Green Petal Designs for our flowers. We were each thrilled with the results and impressed by how different and perfectly in line with our respective visions the flowers were for each of us. I felt confident that Janelle knew what I wanted when she submitted her proposal with a color palette and sample pictures. When the flowers arrived on the day of the wedding, they were more even more gorgeous than I’d expected! She is down to earth and easy to work with. I highly recommend her!

Janelle did an amazing job with the bouquets and Boutonnieres for my April 27, 2014 wedding. I love flowers but don’t know a lot about them. Meeting with Janelle and talking with her she was able to pull my vision together. She also did an amazing job incorporating my dad who passed away 4 years ago. I sent her a few of his work shirts and she beautifully incorporated them in all of the bouquets. We could not be happier with Janelle and the amazing job she did!
