Flowers by Myrna

I love this place! It’s become my secret habit…
I started getting gifts for special occasion — graduation, birthdays, baby showers. Now, I tend to hop by for a simple bouquet of just one, maybe two flowers. My favorites are peonies and orchids. They are great quality and typically last 1 – 2 weeks at a time if I’m careful.

OMG! I just received a gorgeous bouquet from my girlfriends… Every flower is different & one of my favorites, starting with the deep fuscia-​colored peony!!! Love this & have to share.

I’ve used Myrna for years any time I need a flower arrangement. She’s got a great eye and a lovely style. I’ve always gotten my arrangements on time and she’s always been able to work with me if I have a budget to stick to. Also use her professionally and there we often need BIG arrangements that will last through travel and being moved around a bit and she does a great job there, too.

I truly like their arrangements, but am astounded that they do not compost their greens. Instead, daily their trash bins are full of what should otherwise be redirected to the compost stream. Are they not aware that they can save money by doing so?

The name of the store is misleading. The master behind the most beautiful flowers is named Pin. She runs the store and she will assemble the most magnificent bouquets you’ve ever seen. I know because I have been on the receiving end of the bouquets by my husband who kept his secret for many years. You might think that her location is a secret but she’s actually just on the edge of the Safeway parking lot in Montclair village. Stop by here to have your mind blown.

Beautiful arrangement (
). The g/​f loved it.
Wasn’t ready when they said, but it was pretty hectic on Valentine’s Day.

BEST FLORIST EVER!
Every time my husband gets me flowers from here I recognize them immediately and am so happy. Our house is brightened by their beauty. There has go to be something special about a flower arrangement that you can tell is made by a certain someone. I had a friend over and she asked right away, ’ Flowers by Myrna?‘
Of course, I had to have flowers by Myrna for my wedding and she came through with excellence as expected.
Thank you, Myrna!

My husband came home the other day with the most gorgeous flower arrangement for my birthday. My first response — «Flowers by Myrna»? Yup, he said. They were stunning!
I/​We have been going to Flowers by Myrna for the past 5 years and I am always blown away by her beautiful arrangements. She is an artist and has impeccable taste. I used to tell her the types of flowers I wanted — now I just let her do her thing.
A couple of months ago, my husband & I had a fund raising event in Montclair and Myrna generously donated a centerpiece. Well, she completely surpassed our expectations. The flowers were gorgeous.
Besides being creative and easy to work with, Flowers by Myrna has a big heart!

Myrna’s is one of the most creative Florists that I have ever seen in my life – My mom is an artist and was at one time a florist. I LOVE FLOWERS – And not just any flowers – The quality of her flowers, the designs and the price are unmatched – I am a Realtor and have given arrangements by Myrnas’s to my clients – I have given them to friends – best friends – I have given them to my mother for mother’s day. I just tell her which kinds of flowers I would like put together and what I would love to see and she magically comes up with the most dive creations I could have possibly imagined! I love her!!! I got married last year and she made it a fantasy come true. I had kept it rather simple and she worked with my budget, making it very special. From the rust and yellow colored lilys of my bouquet, to the translucent orchids for my mom and the reception centerpiece – It was all divine! She even delivered personally to my home! Thank you sooo much and I wish you continued success — She is a true artist and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Pin!!!

I used Flowers by Myrna for my wedding and Pin did an AMAZING job! I had guests personally visit her store after my wedding to compliment her on the fantastic job that she did. Other vendors and employees at the reception site commented on how exceptional the flowers were and requested pictures of them.
Everything from the ceremony flowers, the bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, to the reception flowers were absolutely gorgeous! Furthermore, she really listened to my ideas about what I pictured and she captured exactly what I wanted.
I came to her after looking into several other florists in the area and I found her to be the most willing to work with me and to have extremely reasonable prices.
I have nothing but the best things to say about my experience.

Myrna was a lifesaver for our wedding. A couple weeks before the wedding our original flower plan fell through, and despite the short notice Myrna came through in spades. Our flower arrangements were beautiful. We wanted to use Strauss Milk bottles as vases, and she was happy to work with us on that. It all worked out better than we could have hoped. Thank You!

Flowers by Mynra was recommended to us for wedding flowers by our day-​of-​coordindator. We had a bridal bouquet, a special boutonnière for the groom, corsages for the women in our family, and boutonnieres for the men.
We’re not sure who Myrna is, but Pin, who runs the place, is a friendly, quirky little woman (with an adorable little black dog), who really knows her flowers! We showed her various pictures we found on the Web of flower arrangements we liked, told her what we liked an didn’t like about each of them, and what were generally looking for.
As with any wedding vendor, there’s a degree of faith required when selecting the florist, and we really weren’t sure what we were going to get. Pin hit it out of the park! We got exactly what we wanted, a perfect mix of the styles we had shown her.
Worth noting: Her example books of photos are really pretty terrible. Don’t be turned off by these! Show her what you want, and you’ll get it.
We would definitely recommend her for flower arrangements for any occasion.

I can’t speak for any one else, but my experience with Pin and Flowers by Myrna was absolutely painless. To the «blue Lamborghini» reviewer, I think it’s irresponsible of you to assume first of all that all the reviewers are her friends, or that she’s racist because she didn’t seem to be helping you or the other couple. On a side note, nobody cares what kind of car you drive.
To everyone else, here’s how our experience went down:
We were referred by some friends who had used Pin for not one, but three family weddings. They told me how easy she was to work with, and that she’d be able to make things happen on a budget, which was key given that we were trying to pay for as much of our wedding as we could on our own.
My wife and I gave her a list of what we needed, ranging from table centerpieces, to bouquets/​boutineers, to an amazing spray for the arch at the altar.
She asked the appropriate questions, answered any questions we had, and we went on our way after paying our $ 100.00 deposit.
About two to three weeks prior to our wedding, she spoke with us regarding types of flowers she was planning on using, because she wanted our input on the choices.
We sent our final payment about a week before the ceremony, because it took us that long to get all our funds in order. There was NEVER any pressure from her about money, and she continuously told us to relax and that everything was going to be great.
On top of that, our wedding venue was very strict on time, giving our vendors only an hour to get everything setup. Pin was on time to the venue, and was totally set up within 30 minutes of the gate being opened.
Pin was hands down fantastic, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to get married in the East Bay.

My daughter in law was having a birthday and I wanted to get her a special flower arrangement. My niece who lives in Oakland (we live in San Diego) helped with finding Flowers by Myrna through Unilocal.There was a mixup on the date of delivery which was to be Saturday (I thought, rather than Monday). When the flowers hadn’t arrived as I expected (my son reporting to me), I called. Myrna had a spectacular arrangement delivered within 30 minutes. That is service!

not a good place. overpriced.

Same story. Need flowers. .. have a budget. .. budget not as large as we wish it were.
Wow, Myrna REALLY came through. We were married at the Piedmont Community Center. Fortunately, the facility has lots of nice architectural detail so we had accepted the limited budget for flowers.
What we received was incredible for the price point. Myrna knew of the large urns in the room, and had asked if we wanted something to fill the urns. Doing our own calculations, we knew something that large would be well beyond our budget, so we declined. In the end, the arrangements provided were large, lovely, and easily would fill the urns if we chose to use them in that manner. Well, we did, and will post photos when we get our pictures back from the photographer, because the work is that impressive.
Upon close inspection, Myrna did a great job using large seasonal branches and flowers to create an artistic masterpiece that looked amazing. The end result was extremely impressive.
After trying a number of local florist for our periodic needs, this is the only place I will be returning to! Excellent Job!

Pin at Flowers by Myrna did a beautiful job with our wedding flowers. I posted a pic of my bouquet but all the other arrangements-​centerpieces, altar flowers, corsages-​were also amazing. She also has excellent prices and she is very easy to work with.

if you need a elegant arrangement, or a gorgeous bouquet, you cannot go wrong with myrna! she is sweet, excellent at what she does, and you cannot go wrong with her price point!

The absolute last word in elegant flower arrangments! I have been getting special occasion and «no reason at all» arrangments from Myrna’s for nearly 10 years and I have NEVER been disappointed. The price is right and Pin makes dazzling arrangements.
You can’t go wrong here.

Pin did the flowers for my wedding. She was recommended to me by our caterer. We wanted nice flowers, but wanted someone who would help us stick to our budget, have attractive arrangements and who would be familiar with our wedding location (in Piedmont). She is incredibly nice and did an excellent job. She founds great ways to make beautiful arrangements while not doing too much so as to break the bank. She came up with great ideas and didn’t try to pressure us to spend more than we were comfortable with. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and a good part of that can be attributed to Pin.

I used to lament having to pick up flowers when in Oakland until I found Myrna.
Many other choices in Oakland seemed either overpriced or possessed a small selection or both! Nestled in the corner of the Antioch office plaza in Montclair, near the great Thai place and underneath the smiling dentists, Myrna is an artist with her work.
You tell her the price and she makes magic happen.
I have been inspired with each and every arrangement I’ve asked her to construct.
