La Fleur Du Jour

Genevieve! Wow! Is all I can say! A friend who was getting married two months after me referred Genevieve. My now husband and I met her at our first florist appointment and after we left, he turned to me and said, «hire her. I don’t want to meet anyone else.» Genevieve just «got» our vision! She is a true artist and really understood what wedding floral design we were going for. We were getting married at a ranch with a barn and huge open field. We had a LOT of vintage furniture and without seeing any of it in advance, Genevieve and her team created the floral vision of our dreams. Flowers were spilling out of the drawers from our sweetheart table, wreaths were strung from the barn doors, vintage bottles that we had picked out at the flea market were perfectly filled with blooms throughout the venue. She brought in a custom birch arch that was so beautiful for us to get married under. She was amazing throughout the process and also very affordable compared to other SB florists that we had looked into. Look no further, hire Genevieve as your wedding florist!

As much as I count on Unilocal reviews, I have never actually written my own, but Genevieve and La Fleur Du Jour were so incredible amazing for our wedding, that I was compelled to give them 5 stars on every website I can! I would give her a million stars if I could. I spoke with a good number of florists before I happened to find Genevieve from searching images of wedding floral. No one really «got» what I was saying for my vision like she did. I spent 20 mins or so on the phone with her for our initial call, then she sent me a follow up email with an inspiration board visual, and it was exactly everything I would have wanted and completely my style. She is such a great listener, has great input (if you want it or need it like I did), and she will go above and beyond for you to make your wedding planning easier on yourself. Her pricing was better than anyone I found in the Santa Barbara area as well, and she will help you find ways to keep the floral within a certain budget, whether it means using different flowers, re-​purposing floral arrangements, coming up with different design options, etc. I wanted flowers in my hair, and she offered to sketch and then to create a mock-​up so I could see what her vision was in person. That’s how friendly and accommodating she is. I completely trusted her to make the floral perfect on the day of, and I got SO many compliments on her work. Who would have thought guests would ever notice the flowers enough to tell you how beautiful they were?! People were literally taking pictures of the fountain that Genevieve decorated, the floral around the arbor, and the arrangements we had hanging on either side of the ceremony aisle. I knew she was going to be great before I even saw her finished product — so much so that I recommended her to a friend who was looking for a florist before our wedding even happened. Their flowers were incredible as well. I can’t say enough how happy I am we used Genevieve/​La Fleur Du Jour!

Our wedding coordinator recommended Genevieve for our wedding and we could not have been happier. We had some very loose ideas as to what we were looking for and as we were talking about them, she would sketch things out and give us other ideas. On the day of the wedding when we saw the flowers we could not have been happier. She was so easy to work with, so reasonably prices and a total rock star with what she delivered.
She met with us twice prior to the wedding and even had her husband make some of the boxes that our center pieces were in. Incredibly happy with everything she did for us.

Genevieve did our flowers for our wedding in May in Santa Barbara and she went above and beyond what we’d hoped for – she does absolutely gorgeous work and chooses quality flowers. We wanted mostly coral peonies, and each and every bloom she selected was perfect. The way she arranged them with free flowing natural greens was so beautiful, and she did such lovely details, including hand dyed blush colored ribbon for the bouquets. She worked within our budget too; we wanted fairly simple arrangements because our ceremony and reception locations didn’t need much décor, and she never tried to up-​sell. She replied to emails quickly and dropped off/​picked-​up the flowers right on schedule. And to top it off, she’s super sweet and helpful– we met with her in person prior to the wedding and knew that I’d made the right choice. She even sent the sweetest little gift a couple months before the wedding. We HIGHLY recommend her!

What a stroke of luck that Genevieve would be available to join our team in a pinch. A last minute venue change left us less than 36 hours to completely rethink our vision for event. Suddenly florals became a bigger part of the scheme than previously planned. Genevieve jumped right in, understood the look we were going for and really pitched in to contribute to the overall success of the event. Highly recommend!
Looking forward to working with you again Genevieve. Thank you.

Genevieve is the most amazing person you could use on your team when it comes to planning your wedding!!! Originally, I had two other florists in mind since my wedding took place in Santa Barbara but since I am from Orange County I just went off of Reviews. It was during the consultation that I KNEW she was the florist to hire! She had so much patience, creativity and understanding, right from the start. Whenever I had a question, Genevieve answered right away, if not through email, through text messages. As for the pricing, Genevieve was honest and told me from the beginning which flowers would be more expensive, so she started playing around with ideas so that she was able to carry out my vision but also maintain the lowest cost as possible. She even met me in LA so that we could see all the different types of flowers and I could tell her what I did and did not like.
SHE WAS/​IS PERFECT!!!
All of my centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and flower designs came out perfect.
NOT ONE SINGLE COMPLAIN (:
–We love you Genevieve (:

Genevieve designs beautiful arrangements as welcome gifts for my clients. When they buy new homes in Santa Barbara. She is timely and everything she designs is absolutely stunning! I look forward to welcoming many more clients with her arrangements as they always ensure a beautiful welcoming and a smile to their faces! Thank you La Fluer Du Jour!

Genevieve was great to work with, she was friendly, honest, organized, and makes beautiful and creative flower arrangements. Her flower pieces for our wedding day were exactly what we envisioned. We highly recommend her if your looking for a great florist, that’s also very competitively priced.
Thanks Genevieve!

Amazing work! She presented us with photos of what was being sent out and I was blown away. She knew exactly what we were looking for with very little instruction. Our order was taken, created and delivered on the same day all with ease and I was thoroughly impressed. I wish I lived in the area and could use her for any of my floral needs for my upcoming wedding.

Genevieve has such talent, her flower arrangements for our wedding was absolutely spectacular. What was most impressive about her is that I did not give her very much direction, I told her flowers are clearly her speciality and since I don’t know much about them I trust her. I’m thankful I gave her the reins because her arrangements were stunning and she nailed the vision I had! Not only that, but she was so wonderful to work with throughout the wedding process, she even brought me flowers to take to my hair trial (that’s service!) I cannot recommend La Fleur Du Jour enough to any bride who is looking for a wonderful vendor to work with at affordable prices.

Love that Genevieve! She is talented, friendly and kind. She listens and makes each client feel important and heard. Whatever sort of budget you are working with, she can create beautiful and classy floral designs for your big day.

Genevieve did the flowers for our wedding, and they were amazing! We had ideas of what we wanted, but weren’t really sure, and she took my wife down to the flower market and came up with all sorts of great ideas. They were simple, elegant and made the wedding look better than we could have imagined. She’s amazing.
