Fionna Floral

They were absolutely our favorite wedding vendor!!! They decorated both Asilomar State Beach in Pacific Grove, where we had our ceremony, and Monterey Peninsula Country Club, where we had our reception. Both looked incredible! When we first spoke with Sarah, we spoke for almost an hour about our vision for our wedding. She then came back to us with a proposal, which was completely affordable, and had several options, which we then chose from. The studio designed our items to work both at the beach and at the reception, and it worked perfectly. She even made me two floral hair pieces and two bridal bouquets to choose from on the day of to ensure that I would be 100% satisfied. They were all absolutely gorgeous!

Fionna Floral did a wonderful job on the flowers and décor for our wedding. The big day was at the Ritz in Half Moon Bay and even the staff at the Ritz were impressed by the design. It was breathtaking and beyond what I could’ve imagined. These gals are so artistic and creative. They made our day so beautiful.

Fionna Floral is FANTASTIC!
I was in love with their work from the second I laid eyes on the vibrant and flowing loose English Garden-​esque centerpiece they had crafted for the vendor day at my wedding venue. I am so very glad I decided to hire Fionna Floral for my wedding flowers! Everyone was so friendly and so much fun to work with, and the whole experience was wonderful!
The centerpieces were INCREDIBLE. It was if Jenny and co. had read my mind! They were EXACTLY what I wanted! In fact, they were even better than I had imagined! They were gorgeous floral works of art, and they made my tables looks amazing. From the bouquets to the boutonnières, everything was perfect.
Please don’t hesitate to hire Fionna Floral for your event — I cannot recommend them more highly!

When I started to research and interview different florists for my wedding, something about Fionna Floral stood out. Our phone consultation went well and they were the first to REALLY understand my vision for the wedding. Immediately after the consultation, I knew that we had to hire them.
We visited their Santa Cruz studio for our mockup and LOVED the arrangement that Sarah had created for us. It captured everything that we could have imagined and it showed that Fionna really listened to what we wanted but also created a look that was even more beautiful. We made a few color modifications after the mock up but kept everything relatively the same.
On the day of the wedding, I took a quick peak into our dinner reception area and my jaw dropped. The centerpieces that they created were STUNNING. Their work was even more beautiful than what I saw during the mock up and what I could have ever imagined for my wedding. Everyone at the wedding commented on how amazing the flowers were (even the guys) and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
The other floral arrangements (ceremony, bridal bouquet, bouts, pomanders, etc.) were so refined, elegant and magazine worthy beautiful. Fionna Floral is truly an artist and they created a masterpiece for our wedding. Sarah, Jenny and Michele were so great to work with. They are so sweet, incredibly knowledgeable and talented, passionate and professional and they made our dream wedding come to life.
We send you our deepest gratitude and hope we have an opportunity to work with each other again soon. You guys were simply amazing!

Jenny and Sarah nailed it for my destination black tie wedding. From the beginning they were kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and enthusiastic. I was very cautious because not being local I was just going off of online reviews and pictures, but they really exceeded my expectations. I’m not someone who’s very into florals, and I realized at our first meeting that I didn’t know the names of like anything — but I am a perfectionist… so I never thought I would be telling people for weeks after my wedding that one of my most favorite parts of the wedding day was the flowers!
They looked through my Pinterest, they made suggestions based on my preferences, and even though I made several changes to my order in the months leading up, they kept the order up to date and organized and never made me feel like it was an issue due to the time required or the changes in the quote. A couple of times they even traveled to meet with me to refine the order. As I was finishing getting ready, I was so excited to see the bouquets, and that was really the first moment everything felt like all of my planning was coming together and it was going to be exactly as I had hoped for.
I took as many arrangements with me as I could. They were so sturdy and high quality… my wreath held up 6 hours in the car, and continued to open blooms in my living room for the next week– even when it dried up, it was still intact and beautiful. Fionna Floral took my «understated elegant vintage/​luxury» vibe and created the perfect blend of texture and romance. I could not recommend them more :-)

The ladies at Fionna Floral are incredible! We met with them about a year ago to give them a general idea of the kind of flowers we were looking for for our wedding, and a year later, they somehow managed to deliver exactly what we wanted! They’ll be as involved or uninvolved in the design process as you want them to be… and as someone that knows little-​to-​nothing about flowers, I basically gave them carte blanche to do whatever they felt would be best. I sent over pictures of all the dresses and the grooms/​groomsmen suits and made a pinterest board of things I liked, and they created beautiful bouquets and decorations that surpassed my expectations. On top of that, they’re extraordinarily responsive — any time I emailed them any sort of question they responded within the day, which I really appreciated.

Jenny, Sarah and the rest of the folks over at Fionna Floral are masters at what they do. They were such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole planning experience. Their expert advice and out of the box thinking were exactly what we needed to make our wedding dreams come true. Our guests could not stop talking about their stunning floral displays that were created with such detail and care! I could not think of a better team of creative floral designers to work with than Fionna! They knocked it out of the ball park!

Fionna Floral did the flowers for our Shadowbrook wedding last weekend and they were GORGEOUS! Sarah sat down with me a few months before the wedding and took copious notes about my likes and dislikes and had some wonderful recommendations for the kinds of flowers she thought I would like. They were perfect! They delivered gorgeous arrangements in pinks & purples and we couldn’t have been happier! Jennifer & Sarah will help you have a beautiful wedding!!!

Perfect!!! All of the arrangements for my Carmel wedding were stunning. My bouquet and ceremony décor were even better than I expected. The flowers were fresh and plentiful. I’m just sad they won’t last forever. The price was very reasonable and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone. Communication and professionalism were 5 stars. I can’t say enough good things.

Wendy did the floral arrangements for my July 16^th wedding and worked with me to bring my vision to life every step of the way. She has such wonderful creative detail and my flowers looked better than I could have ever imagined. She really works with you to understand what you want and then delivers beautiful flowers. I highly recommend her!

Wendy Melrose and her team did an amazing job with our wedding floral. Wendy truly is able to create beautiful floral arrangements which fit your vision. I immediately broke into tears when Wendy delivered our bouquets. They were even more exquisite than I could have imagined. In addition to creating beautiful floral arrangements, Wendy is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Wendy Melrose and her team at Fionna Floral.

I don’t know what I would have done without Wendy! When I met with her less then a week before my wedding all our previous correspondence was through email. I went to her with some pretty scattered ideas and was fairly unsure of exactly what I wanted. In no time she organized all my thoughts into exactly what I wanted. It was all brought to life perfectly on the wedding day. Everyone was awed by the gorgeous centerpieces and snatched them all up to take them home without any prompting from me.
There are only a few small things I’d change if I had the chance. The first being that my beautiful bridal bouquet was so big that I couldn’t hold it very well even with two hands. I know that with any large bouquet this problem can arise but at other weddings I’ve been to they’ve added some kind of handle to help with that. Also the wrapping on it was fairly loose and that added to the difficulty of holding it. I ended up having to kind of bury my hands into the flowers themselves and hold on for dear life. The flower girl’s small bouquet was much too large to fit into her little flower girl basket but that worked out fine because we just nixed the basket. Finally, I asked for a small lei of flowers for my poodle (the ring bearer) and, while the lei itself was beautiful, it was more people sized and was so large that she kept stepping on it and getting it caught in her legs. These were all very small details, though, and certainly did nothing to diminish our wedding. I fully recommend Wendy and Fionna Floral. :)

Wendy is a magician! She recently helped us with our wedding & reception flowers for our event at Pasatiempo/​Hollins House. She took great care in asking the right questions to help narrow down some options (as I wasn’t 100% sure what I wanted). She was a dream to work with. In the end, she really listened & translated that into a beautiful vision of an elegant, welcoming setting. Many of our guests complimented her work and I was so pleased…
Highly recommend her!

Wendy has GREAT intuition on what we wanted artistically, price-​wise and direction for our wedding floral arrangements. She scheduled time to meet us and show us all her albums and go over any color arrangemnt, budget and time details that needed. One of the easiest vendors we went through!
She coordinated our 8’x8’ blue, white and chocolate rose archway, guestbook table, bouquets, boutinnieres, head table and buffet floral arrangement. I’ve received countless compliments and beautiful, priceless photos of her work! Can get pricey, but she really worked with us to fit our budget. It was definitely worth the money to have our flowers in good hands.

Fionna Floral is AMAZING! They did the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, centerpieces, arch decoration, urn/​column decoration, and a fabric draping from the skylight in the reception room. I couldn’t have asked for anything else from these amazing people. I worked primarily with Wendy and she is an absolute doll. She really understood exactly the feel that we wanted for our wedding and she ran with it! It took minimal direction and she seemed genuinely excited to be involved in our day and to help us realize our vision. Their prices are about average and WELL worth it. It’s definitely not a bargain, but if you’re looking for quality, I believe you get even more than you pay for in this situation. I DEFINITELY recommend Fionna Floral to anyone getting married in the area. I simply cannot rave enough! Don’t hesitate to send me a message for more details.
