Ribbons & Roses

All I can say is Wow! I was introduced to Diane by my fabulous wedding coordinator Renee Bragg from La Grande Wedding and I do have to say that I am rolling with the «cream of the crop»! My Fiancé and I needed floral arrangements for our wedding set for next month, and made the well-​worth trek from Hayward to Brentwood to see this passionate lady and I have to say that we are so pleased we did! Diane spent nearly two hours explaining the various types of roses and elegant compliments that it can have if arranged properly. When she gave us an up close and personal, on the spot demonstration on the numerous types of blissful floral arrangements that she could display, we were both truly mesmerized by the graceful, serene, and etiquette «green thumb» which was also captivating!
Diane made sure that regardless of when and where my wedding’s venue would be, she was determined to not only have it arranged in the superior most eloquent method, but it will make our guests eyes become flourished with captivation. If you don’t think I have already said enough, Diane also made the floral arrangements at my older Sister’s wedding in late January and the results were just spectacular. She was able to make stunning arrangements for a wedding that took place during the winter, just imagine what she will display out at my summer wedding!
With all this said, I am truly and deeply disturbed with some of the dishonest and partial comments that other Unilocaler’s have left behind, which I felt is not fair or deserving for Diane and her wonderful colleagues at Ribbon’s and Roses (which is a well worthy name). Diane is extremely loyal, passionate, takes pride and joy about what she does and when you get a person like that, then the possibilities are endless!
Thanks again Diane and I look forward in seeing the breathtaking arrangements that you will prepare for me next month! (I mean for my Fiancé and I). Lol!

Am I in a flower shop or is this the Department of Motor Vehicles or Social Security office disguised as a flower shop? This woman’s attitude is horrific. I wouldn’t buy manure from this woman.

I won a wedding through Brownstone gardens and ribbons and roses were part of the package that I had won, as soon as I sat down with Diane the owner I can tell this lady knew her stuff! I not once felt that I had anything to worry about. She asked what I wanted and made it happen! And I want to thank her for my gorgeous flowers from my 9÷10÷15 wedding! Stunning!

I had an TERRIBLE experience with Ribbons & Roses!
Based on a recommendation, I called to place an out of state order with delivery.
My request was simple… ALL white flowers & I wanted to spend $ 100.00.
When the flowers were delivered — they were not all white! (in fact, very little white!)
I called & spoke to «the floral designer» who hung up on me.
POOR ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!! & POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
Yikes! Steer clear of this «florist»!
Save yourself the headache & the «classy» hang-​up!
In response to Diane’s response… I have never verbally assaulted anyone in my life.
Diane would not stop chirping long enough for me to speak — blah, blah, blah.
I’d love to know how many people would give a friend an «imperfect» gift & then go & take it back & replace it with what was originally intended & ordered & paid for — ???
That’s the point Diane — –I forgive you for making the mistake on the order — you definitely will want to rethink the «verbal assault» accusation & the hang-​up.

I purchased flowers for my wife and the arrangement was beautiful but unfortunatly the roses started to die the second day. When I called them Diana said she was very sorry but that she couldnt control mother nature and she was very sorry and send us another bouquet out no CHARGE. I told her I would take pictures so she could see the flowers and she said nope no need to I trust you just let me know what day you would like another bouquet of flowers sent to your wife. Diana is amazing and professional i will not even consider using anyone else for flowers and the arrangements were the prettiest I have ever seen. Also the second bouquet was delivered just as beautiful as the first and it lived and was beautiful for many days.

Thank you to Ribbons and Roses who even during their busiest season created a beautiful (and last minute) corsage for my son to give prom date!

I went to Ribbons and Roses to order Senior Ball flowers for my son and his date. I was in a bit of a panic as the dance was only a week away! Despite being extremely busy with Mother’s Day orders, Diane sweetly greeted me and was willing to take one last order! She listened to what I wanted (some sparkle and bling) and gave me a few helpful suggestions. I’m so thankful for her help!

Ribbons and Roses clearly deserves a five star rating. Their floral arrangements are outstanding!

We were referred to Ribbons and Roses by our wedding venue, Brownstone Gardens, and we really liked the opportunity to save money on flowers for the wedding by going with one of their packages.
We went with their Rose package, which was the least expensive one, and were so incredibly happy with the flowers. Diana took my colors (raspberry and lime) and ran with the idea. She introduced me to Roseberry roses, which were the exact color I wanted, and she even offered to put in lime green button mums for the pop of lime green color in the bouquets.
She decorated our cake with flowers and the cake was absolutely beautiful. We had nearby downtown cake shop TLC Cakes make our wedding cake, and the two worked really well together to get the cake ready. Both were recommended by our venue.
We had centerpieces with rose petals. The aisle for the wedding ceremony had rose petals on the borders, and we had boutonnieres for all of our guys and corsages for the ladies. The package includes a toss bouquet too.
My husband still goes to Ribbons and Roses for bouquets for me on special occasions, and they are always beautiful. The quality is always a step above flowers ordered online and two steps above flowers from the grocery store, etc. For being wedding customers, Ribbons and Roses has extended a discount to us, which we have no problem using! :)

Diane, Thank You!
Your flowers are beautiful, your arrangements are wonderful.
I have used Ribbons & Roses several times. I am always impressed by the superior customer service and excellent quality. The entire staff is always very helpful.
Thank you again, C. J.

I cannot say enough great thing about Diane! She is an absolute pleasure to work with. She did flowers for my wedding on 9÷12÷14 and the were beautiful and exactly what I wanted! She’s so creative and very accommodating. She’s so full of life and truly loves what she does and it shows through her work! I highly recommend her for any occassion!

Diane is awesome!!! After hearing so many great things about her, I just knew I had to meet her. When my soon to be husband and I went to our appointment, Diane was very welcoming. We gave her our budget for the wedding flowers and she did an amazing job saying within that range. I’m so happy with all her ideas and her creativity. I just know she will make our day special.

I loved working with Diane!!! She made all of my dreams come true. She listened to my ideas and, even when I wasn’t sure things were possible, she assured me that I was in good hands. My flowers were beautiful and my bridesmaids couldn’t stop saying how much they loved the look of their bouquets! Diane was also able to offer helpful suggestions about our venue, Brownstone Gardens, since she has worked there so frequently. She told us where we should seat our hard-​of-​hearing or more elderly guests to ensure they could be as mobile as possible without going deaf! It was a huge honor to work with her and her creative spirit. She makes weddings beautiful! Thank you, Diane!!! We loved everything about our wedding flowers!!! You rock!

Diane is awesome! So, I’m reviewing one year later (sorry Diane!) it’s only because my hubby & I just had our 1 year anniversary cake & had to post how BEAUTIFUL our decoration was. Please see photo

I used Diane’s services for my wedding back in May 2013, and boy was I NOT disappointed! First off, when my husband and I came and met with her about 9 months before the wedding, she gave us her undivided attention! We sat with her for almost 3 hours and she immediately saw the vision my husband and I had for our wedding. My father had passed away before we got married, and my bouquet was to have a charm on it with my dad’s picture. She placed it on the bouquet beautifully, and also surprised us by making a vase bouquet with sunflowers (my dad’s favorite flower) with the name «dad» etched on the ribbon and put it at the head table. Diane went above and beyond our expectations and we are so grateful for what she did for our wedding! I highly, HIGHLY recommend Ribbons and Roses for all of your floral needs!!!

Diane and her team are amazing! I’m not big on flowers and for my wedding, I wanted something simple since we had a Harry Potter themed wedding. Not only were her ideas great, she works with your budget and makes sure you get the best for what you can afford. I also came to her 2 weeks before my wedding and I asked if we could add a whole new concept for our ceremony area… Not only was she all for it, she delivered with an amazing design! She is definitely great at what she does and you can tell she’s passionate about it. I was blown away at how beautiful the flowers were, they were definitely one of my favorite things about my wedding. If you want beautiful flowers for your wedding, hire Ribbons and Roses, you will not regret it!

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT!!! I ran in on their on the spur of the moment with two little kids in tow. I handed her a tiered fruit bowl and said «Do something with this» Boy did she!!! The arrangement was out of this works beautiful!!! We were hosting the Ridgewater Real Estate Services Christmas party at our house and so ahe incorporated a lighted house in to the arrangement
I also asked her to incorporate a Nativity into another arrangement. Again, no problem. If you just trust the artist you will not be disappointed. I think she enjoys the challenge of thinking outside of the box and will definitely be asking her to do that again in the near future!

This is going to get very weepy so have your tissue ready! Diane from the moment I met her I new she would be my florist but she is truly my friend now. Giving Diane the creative freedom to do her magic was the best choice I could ever make. The whole day of my wedding I was very pulled together but once I got to the venue and was greeted by her, a woman who has been with me over a year of planning. Not just any woman not even just a florist but someone very special that worked so hard for me to have everything as beautiful and elegant as possible. She shows me the décor in the cocktail area I cry then she shows me my bouquet and the tears are streaming, I don’t know how to describe my emotion but Diane was my fairy flower god mother and Melissa her go to girl was my fairy. Thank you Ribbons and roses for every hug, every piece of calming advice, every phone call, every last minute pinch you got me out of. I would recommend anyone who wants perfection, honesty, QUALITY and just floral done at its best.

Ribbons and Roses is doing the flowers for our November wedding. Diane is amazing. Very thorough. Very helpful with ideas. She came up with beautiful affordable center pieces. Very creative and passionate about what she does. Can’t wait to see her work her magic in November!

I love getting flower for my wife. Looked everywhere (or thought I did) and was just unsatisfied with the quality of flowers I was getting. Then I found Ribbons and Roses.
Wow, what a difference. After buying a few arrangements from them I decided I wouldn’t be getting flowers from anyone else. The owner is awesome. She’s super friendly and very helpful.
She ended up doing our wedding. We were more than satisfied. Couldn’t have been better.
Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality of the flowers. They seem to last longer than most arrangements too.
