Verde SF

Monica made me the most beautiful bouquet, rose hair piece, and succulent boutonnière for my wedding! She listened to everything I wanted and she made it a reality. She personally delivered them to me at City Hall and she helped me put the hair piece in my hair. She’s so sweet and her designs are gorgeous! We live in Texas, otherwise she would be the only florist I’d ever use.

Monica is the absolute best. She did the floral design for my wedding in October and I really have no idea how I would have done it without her. She listened to my not very well articulated/​thought out ideas around colors and needs and then guided me through the process that resulted in exactly what I wanted but didn’t even know it. What I really appreciated was being able to visit the shop a week before the wedding to have one last chat about which flowers were freshest and what we could use. Everything was so beautiful and I felt so well taken care for, Monica just made the flower magic happen!

Just stopped by and chatted with the owner/​Monica about starting a regular delivery. Monica was very personable and pleasant to talk to. She totally understood my needs and gave reasonable options. Looking forward to her floral delivery starting tomorrow. Yay!

My then fiancé and I were looking to order some simple flower arrangements for our wedding brunch reception and a bridal bouquet for me. We had shorlisted Verde SF based on the reviews we read. We went to check it out since it was quite close to where we lived and the couple others that were closer were not open that time. We met Monica there; she was attentive and she listened to us and quite amazingly helped materialize what we had in mind. I didn’t have anything very specific in mind, just that instead I knew I wanted bright colors like orange, yellow and red and roughly a particular shape of vase. I told her we wanted something simple, and shared with her the floor plan and the setup and also showed her photos of both my dresses that I wanted to go with the bouquet. When the bridal bouquet was delivered to our doorstep I was very impressed. It looked pretty and not typical and it coordinated perfectly with both my outfits which were by the way, of very different colors! The deliveries were on time. Monica even helped us to put up the decorations in the restaurant and also the flowers on our wedding cake. Our guests commented how beautiful the floral arrangements were too. She helped made our special day more beautiful!

Verde SF is amazing!
Monica was so sweet and accommodating. I am just blown away by my experience with them.

Best flower-​buying experience I’ve had. I live in LA, and wanted to send my girlfriend flowers for our 9-​month-​iversary since we were going to be apart. I called on Friday morning and asked if they could deliver on Saturday morning. After giving general guidelines (price range, style, etc), they said it wouldn’t be a problem, and gave me a window for delivery. My girlfriend had a friend in town, so I asked if they could include a separate flower for her as well. No problem!
The next morning, I got a call from my girlfriend (and from her roommate!) saying that this was the most beautiful bouquet and asking where I’d gone. They even came through on the separate flower for the friend. The service was pleasant, the flowers were gorgeous, and the price range was exactly what I’d asked for.
I will go back to Verde SF every time I need flowers from now on. I couldn’t be happier!

Dope. I came in just looking for high-​scented flowers to mask a cat and studio apartment. The florists were delighted with the challenge, armed me with slow budding freesia and hunks of eucalyptus and I couldn’t be happier. «Shower with the eucalyptus in the bathroom for maximum smell effect.» You bet I will, flower doctors.

Anna and Monica were wonderful, friendly, and professional. I decided last-​minute to have a flower crown made for my graduation, and Anna made a GORGEOUS one within less than 48 hours. Check out the photo!
Thank you Verde SF!

Nope. Stopped by to grab a bouquet for a co-​workers last day. They made one up and said $ 45. For a bouquet. Nope. This was just for a co-​workers last day. My bridal bouquet was $ 55! (City Hall weddings, gotta love ‘em:)
So, I said, «that’s more than I wanted to spend.» And the woman said «that’s why I asked you!» Which she didn’t. Which I said. And she still insisted she had. The interaction was less than 5 minutes. I would have remembered.
So, then she and her co-​worker kept giving each other the side eye and made the whole experience incredibly uncomfortable. Just stopped in for some flowers, which is usually a fun, sweet experience and left pissed with some $ 35 flowers.
Flowers = Meh. Customer Service = Awful. Will I be back = Nope.
PS My co-​worker loved the flowers and asked where I got them. When I told her, she was surprised and stated her experience there has been «hit-​or-​miss» FYI

Monica is an absolute joy to work with! Her shop is adorable and even more importantly her flowers are so fresh and so GORGEOUS! Thanks for all the help! Will definitely be back for all future floral needs.

I recently got married, and Monica and Verde SF took care of the flowers, and I, my fiancé and my parents were thoroughly impressed with the experience all the way through. She got our vision right away and was such a pleasure to work with.
Day of– we were blown away by how beautiful the flowers looked in person… much more amazing than we could have imagined, and she even through in some bonus pieces! Definitely recommend Verde SF!

Okay,
I am a sucker for trying to get a woman to smile.
I smile a lot, a whole hells of a lot.
I have the smile wrinkles to prove it.
And why the hell can’t other people smile?
A woman’s smile… damnnnnnnnn, if that isn’t the finest thing, I love it.
Yeah, but there is this one crooked grin/​smirk/​smile that I know…
Hers is the best I have ever seen.
The stuff legends and lore is written about.
It isn’t imaginary but magnificent.
The lifted eyebrow that comes with it?
Stunning.
It will stop anyone, man or woman, in their feet and take notice.
I like seeing her smile.
And you know who helps me get those smiles?
Monica at Verde.
To talk with Monica is like talking with your muse.
She takes what you say and recreates a fantastic vision in flora arrangements.
You want Beetle Juice? You got it.
You want Mary Poppin? You got it.
You want Michael Myers Halloween? You get it.
She is the only one I entrust to create my crazy visions of floral.
Plus she delivers,
she has an awesome giggle that bubbles like a ’64 Dom of champagne,
and she is just the sweetest little peach this side of the Mississippi.
Call her and make someone else in your life smile.
Try it and you will like it.

I had an excellent experience with Verde when organizing flower deliveries for the rehearsal dinner prior to my recent wedding.
Knowing very little about flower arrangements, I started by looking online and finding something that I liked the look of. I printed off a picture, took it to Verde, set my budget, and they did the rest! They delivered the flowers to the rehearsal dinner venue and the flowers were beautiful.
Thanks to everyone here for their help making this such a painless process!

I’ve frequented this shop on numerous occasions as it is right around the corner from my apartment. Place is small, but what it lacks in quantity they make up in quality. This place always has the freshest flowers and makes beautiful bouquets. Highly recommend. Slight knock for not having the best store hours.

Responsive, tasteful, personalized. Someone else already said «modern and elegant» which I agree with. I spoke to Monica last night when she was minutes away from closing and was running to deliver flowers for an event. I needed an «emergency bouquet» the next morning (early). While I don’t want to tout her working off-​hours, she was amazingly responsive, worked to create something gorgeous, elegant and perfect the next morning AND delivered it just in time for the event.
As a one-​woman show, I can see that at times, her commitments for handling the actual events (arranging, delivering, etc.) can take her away from the working hours at the store — providing this level of service along with the taste and perfection of the arrangements is a truly specialized service few can provide.

charming little space in Western Addition. Might be a little hard to find, but worth the search. A one woman show, who is helpful and delightful. Best part she allows you design your own arrangement.

Words that describe Verde SF: lovely, friendly, cozy.
When visiting sometimes I need help and sometimes I don’t — the owner and assistant understand and are always responsive to this. Nobody likes a hoverer, and nobody likes to be ignored, and they know just how to assist without doing either.
The flowers are obviously lovely because flowers by their very nature are lovely. What I like about Verde’s flowers are that they are usually seasonal and that there are always some unusual/​surprising selections. I go into option overload pretty easily, so having a smaller selection of high quality is best.
Verde SF has been my go-​to flower shop for over a year, and I plan to keep going here for many years more.

A coworker and his wife recently had their first child. As a team, we wanted to send them a really special bouquet of flowers to congratulate them and wish them well in the special first few days. I Unilocaled florists in their neighborhood and that’s how I found Verde SF.
I called Monica mid-​afternoon and gave her an idea of what I was looking for (I really liked a photo in her gallery because it matched the colors of the nursery — grey and yellow). Even though there weren’t many hours left in the workday, Monica was able to hand-​deliver the arrangement to my coworker later that day. He was really, really pleased with the flowers and quickly sent out an email to the team saying that the flowers were beautiful and that baby was sleeping peacefully next to them.
He also said that Monica /​Verde SF is THE BEST FLORIST IN TOWN!
So there you have it.

Small and charming flower shop located next to the Bank of America branch on Fell and Buchanan.
They take advance orders (Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day) and they have a curated selection of beautiful flowers, some quite unique.
They’re a little pricey but the flowers are top notch and seem fresh so I didn’t mind paying a bit more.

Here is a business that deserves nothing short of a 5 star!
I had to send some flowers for a friends birthday. Yeah, there is 1800 flower you can call, but I want to support local businesses whenever I can.
So I went to Unilocal,looked for close by flower shops, and found Verde SF. Review after review, people raving about how nice Monica is, and how flower arrangements are, and how compassionate she was with getting flower for some hotel guests, attending a funeral, I couldnt help but fall in love with this little establishment, I just knew through Unilocal for the first time!
Sure enough I call the phone number on the page, you talk to Monica herself. From the sound of it, (mind you i live in OC, so this entire experience was through phone conversations), Monica is the owner of hte business, and every aspect of this business is her personal character. She was so pleasant to talk to and she made is such an effortless thing to plan for that birthday thing.
My friend said she was sweet person in person when she went to drop off the flowers.
I will keep this business in my ‘top list’ even though they are not here in OC. I do have friends in SF that i could use them for! :)
