Bella Flora Wedding & Event Designs

I have been working with Erick & Tawnya for about 10 years! I plan large corporate events and celebrity parties. They are ALWAYS professional, on time & provide EXCELLENT SERVICE. If you are looking for the OPULENT floral professional… BELLA FLORA is your designer!!!

My first impression of Erick was GREAT! I was so excited to have him as our florist AND our officiant. He was great on the phone and was very confident in making the bouquets I wanted where other florists were trying to modify them here and there. Also, the prices could not be beat. There was really no reason to continue shopping around after speaking with him.
When it came time to pay my final balance I continued to try and contact them to pay. They kept saying it was okay and that they would take it at a later time. It took a quite a few phone calls over a course of a couple of weeks to finally get payment through, but not until after he provided «the news.»
Three weeks before my wedding Erick said that he had «an emergency» and would not be able to officiate. The flowers would still be delivered and he would still be assembling them as he wouldn’t be going out of town for his emergency until the day of. Initially, I felt bad for him and whatever he was going through but was relieved that he provided the work in finding back up officiants I could choose from.
As days went on and I replayed the conversation in my head I knew something was fishy. I decided to do some research and found out that he had entered into a fitness competition the day of my wedding and decided that was more important. Reminder, I had already booked him for my wedding 7 – 8 months out and he decided within that time he had other arrangements he decided to make.
I was content with my flowers and with the last minute officiant but the way he went about changing his plans really left ill feelings. I had talked him up so much and was recommending the business to any and everyone I knew but that quickly changed. I would not refer this business to anyone based on the lack of professionalism and not sticking to contracts.

I’m so happy to share my amazing experience with Erick and Tawny from Bella Flora. We met at a wedding expo and my daughter the bride to be and I loved their floral arrangements on display. We continued looking for florists in the area but no one came close to their unique, beautiful design and their amazing personalities together. When we finalized the style for the wedding Tawny had beautiful ideas to make her ceremony stunning. Also, they were willing to work with my budget. On her wedding day they didn’t disappoint, Erick had all the arrangements ready on time and absolutely went the extra mile to move the flowers from the ceremony to the reception. Everything was stunning and truly breathtaking. Also, my mom loved all the floral designs for the ceremony and reception, everyone did! Most importantly my daughter did not have to worry or stress on her special day and all the flowers were amazing. I highly recommend Bella Flora.

We hired Bella Flora to do our wedding flowers. Bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, centerpieces, pergola for ceremony, mason jars for the aisle, everything seemed to be fine until the day of the wedding.
For starters the flowers came 2 hours late. 2 hours!!! All of the pre-​ceremony pictures were rushed. that along was disappointing.
My grandmother was supposed to have a corsage, but instead a boutonnière was sent. I did mention that the other grandmother was not going to be able to attend the wedding, so I’d like to have a boutonnière instead for one of the kids. Maybe I was not fully clear about it, but I did also ask for the most updated invoice as well, which was never provided. Moreover, the kids boutonnieres were cheaper that than the corsages and I was never approached on how we were going to work out the difference in price, either with more flowers or the money back.
The bridesmaids bouquets were supposed to be different from the bride’s bouquet. To me and my bridesmaids the bouquets look all the same. The only way we could differentiate mine from the bridesmaids was because it was a little bigger but the same.
Lastly, I was told by the vendor that the staff was responsible for the clean up of all the flowers. Well, the pergola was never removed from the gazebo. We had to remove it from the gazebo the next morning along with the mason jars and the tulle from the isle. Luckily, mu husband and I spent the night at Ponte in and were able to remove all of the items previously mentioned; otherwise the winery would’ve charged us $ 350 for the clean up.
The only reason I’m giving them 2 stars is because the centerpieces were beautiful. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done that.
I tried to reach out the vendor by email prior to this posting, but never heard back from them. Needless to say, we were not happy nor satisfied with the services provided. We will not use Bella Flora WED/​Epic flowers services again.

Hi Erick, just want to thank you again for being out minister and florist. You did an amazing job on everything. The flowers still look beautiful and my house smells wonderful. I wish I had them every day! They have kept the day fresh in our memory. You were such a blessing for us, really we couldn’t be happier. You were so easy to work with and so great to the kids. They loved their ceremony. The bridal bouquet and the sweetheart table décor were outstanding. Thank you again. Mother of the Bride!

We booked Bella Flora W.E.D. as our florist for our wedding on 3÷21÷15 and couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Erick understood the vision I wanted for our wedding day, and executed it perfectly. I showed him a few pictures of what I wanted, and he went above and beyond that. My bouquet was romantic, woodsy, and had the anemones that I most definitely wanted. The altar arrangements and centerpieces were breathtaking. He took our plain little cutting cake to a whole new level with the cake flowers! And the best thing is that the flowers lasted all day with very minimal wilting, and we were able to take a couple of the arrangements home where they lasted days! Not to mention they also smelled wonderful.
Erick had great communication with us, and never once did I have a question left unanswered. His pricing is very reasonable and he is willing to work with you to get to a budget you’re comfortable with. We also had some last minute changes, like adding a couple of centerpieces and subtracting the flower girl crowns we initially agreed on, and he was very flexible and said it was not a problem.
We had multiple delivery and pick up locations which he worked out and we got our flowers on time with no issues. He made our wedding day stress-​free when it came to the florals, and I can’t thank him enough for the wonderful job he did. I am still staring at pictures of my bouquet up to now! I definitely recommend his services to all brides. Thank you so much Erick!

I had a beautiful Spring wedding reception in beautiful Temecula Wine Country. Because the scenery was already beautiful I only wanted a pop of color!
My wedding planner actually recommended Erick and his wife at BELLA FLORA. It was a great experience from the first meeting to actually seeing my wedding bouquet. Erick took the time to meet me and find out what flowers and colors I liked. He gave us exactly what I envisioned. The center pieces, cake flowers, bouquets and ceremony flowers simply looked Amazing! Although I had some changes happen at the last minute Erick was very accommodating (made extra center pieces). All of our flowers where fresh and lively moreover the prices where very fair (they work with any budget). I’m so glad to have chosen Bella Flora for out wedding and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Check out the pictures! My wedding colors were Coral with a hint Of mint! Perfection! Thank you Erick, although I now live in the East Coast I know I will always recommend you as a florist. I know you also recently did one of my friends weddings to. Stay tune for the pictures! –Happy Bride!
