Van Nuys Flowers

i sent my best friends flowers to her work after for grandmother died. i ordered flowers online and about 5 hours later i got a call about why my number was wrong and whose number did elizabeth call. it was my friend she called and ruined the surprise. she did not tell me this over the phone. worst customer service ever. will not ever order again. thanks for nothing elizbeth. i only say this place is pricey because the flowers were all awful, will post pics soon

Ms. Elizabeth is the best florist in the business! She did a fabulous job on my wedding and reception she completely exceeded my expectations! I knew she would do a beautiful job after looking at a few of her photo albums of outstanding floral designs she’s done over the years in her shop, which smells delightful the moment you hit the door.
My guest were mesmerized by the beautiful centerpiece arrangements, my sweetheart table, and the amazing job Ms. Elizabeth did on the outside gazebo area for my wedding ceremony. I gave her a couple inspiration pics and she took it from there. She also turned my cake into a masterpiece it even made it to a wedding blog online. No matter what your budget she will create something special for your special event. I’m so happy to have found Ms. Elizabeth she helped make you wedding day extra special.

I cannot express how extremely disappointed I am in Van Nuys Florist. I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my grandmothers 97^th BDay last week. Many of the flowers that arrived were old and shriveled up. When my grandma called to let them know, the girls who answered the phone told her that they had used flowers from a wedding they had earlier in the day. Can you believe it??? Reused flowers??? How Terrible! I would NOT recommend this florist to ANYONE who cares about their loved ones!

Elizabeth at Van Nuys Flowers is truly an artist. My husband and I met with her a few months out from the wedding and were so impressed with Elizabeth’s energy and visible passion for what she does. All of the arrangements in her portfolio were gorgeous and she showed us tons of flowers that she thought might fit our vision. A wonderful feature of Van Nuys Flowers is the price. They were by far the most affordable of all of the florists that I researched and even include the option to customize each item you order (budget, value, and luxury) to fit your budget. All of the florals that we ordered from Elizabeth were incredibly lush, perfectly fragrant and made our venue look breath-​taking.
Elizabeth’s attention to detail and thoughtfulness in taking care of her clients was outstanding. She went out of her way to special order some lovely white and purple orchids for our arrangements and exceeded my expectations in her set-​up of the florals on the day of. I had shown Elizabeth a photo of cake flowers that I loved and she matched (& exceeded!) the beauty of it with our cake. She also went out of her way to arrange fresh petals and other fresh flowers around the cake table, gift table, and guestbook table. I would work with Elizabeth again in a heartbeat!

I ordered flowers for a funeral about a week or so ago. I spoke to Elizabeth, she was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions. The casket spray and easel spray were delivered directly to the church that the services were held at. They called to confirm address and a time to drop off. Everything looked beautiful and we are very grateful for Elizabeth’s help/​guidance during this difficult time. We will definitely be using her services again and hopefully next time will be for a more joyous occasion. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Two experiences:
1) I walked in one afternoon with a spring in my step, hope in my heart and only $ 10 to my name for a little Date Night bouquet. The gentleman DID NOT laugh me out of there, but instead dropped what he was doing and treated me like I had $ 300 to spend. He put together a bouquet that was worth three times what I had and I walked out feeling like solid gold.
2) I called in a panic looking for a big order when my wholesale florist downtown went MIA. The gentleman couldn’t help with my order, but he was like Matlock helping me track down my other florist. Seriously, above and beyond.

I found Elizabeth and Van Nuys flowers through
. By the time I found my way to her door, I was super depressed about ever finding an affordable and quality florist. I had been quoted $ 2000+ minimums on my wedding, when all I wanted were the bouquets and boutonnieres and MAYBE some petals if they were within my modest budget.
I’ll admit, I’m a control freak and I was skeptical. I brought in my example photos, read over her shoulder, asked for a runthrough etc. I didn’t know for sure if she was really taking me to heart and I was advised against a runthrough for quality reasons. But… we were more than comfortable with her overly-​reasonable quote. So much so, we splurged on the ‘deluxe’ bridal bouquet and the offer to throw in a few more petal bunches.
So, I WAS SO EXCITED and relieved! when I walked in on my wedding day to pick up my flowers. They were beautiful! Exactly what I wanted and more. So much more. I smiled the whole way up and I keep looking at the photos and I am so happy with how everything looked.
Thank you again, it was perfect!

Elizabeth at Van Nuys Florist did my wedding flowers this past November. They were beautiful and an incredible value. I got a lot of compliments from my guests on how beautiful my centerpieces were.
Elizabeth is an absolute professional with 30 years of experience. My wedding coordinator has worked with Elizabeth several times and highly recommended her. I’m not a flower buff, but she quickly figured out what I wanted despite my relative lack of familiarity with flowers. I gave her a color palette and let her work her magic. She gives you a spreadsheet with three pricing tiers for each item you want to order. You can then mix and match depending on your priorities. I’m so glad I didn’t try to DIY my flowers! I would have been so stressed and wouldn’t have even saved any money.

Two words.
Amazing person/​customer service =Elizabeth and Amazing Florist!
If you haven’t tried them, please do… you will not be disappointed. Elizabeth takes pride in her work plus she goes the extra mile to make each floral arrangement exceed your expectations. I am so happy to finally find a great florist in the Valley that actually cares about her clients. She is such a kind and special person and i am one happy lady to have found her/​this florist.

Elizabeth did the flowers for my recent wedding and I cannot thank her enough for how impressive and beautiful they were! We had a few meetings throughout the year to go over all the details so I knew what I was getting, but the finished product exceeded my expectations. Wedding flowers can get really expensive really fast and Elizabeth’s prices are the best around. Definitely worth every penny! I would recommend her to anyone that is searching for a florist for a wedding or even if its for just because flowers, she will do an awesome job!

Elizabeth thank you so much for providing such amazing centerpieces. We got so many compliments on the flowers and The flowers on the cake were beautiful. I appreciate you providing the extra rose petals which I didn’t even expect. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for amazing flowers. Thanks again for helping make my daughters quinceañera extra beautiful

Stopped in to grab a few sunflowers and received excellent service! The woman that helped me was super nice and took great care in putting together a cute little flower/​accent arrangement in a vase for me. The prices are very reasonable and if I lived in the area I would definitely use them again. It’s tiny and in a strip mall type location but don’t let the size of the place fool you. Looks like a lot of quality work comes out of this place.

Elizabeth did the flowers for my daughter’s wedding 6÷21÷14. When we first met Elizabeth worked with the ideas I had and helped create an amazing centerpiece. Elizabeth also turned the garden gazebo into a stunning very personalized chuppah. My daughters bouquet was «blinged» out to the max! Making my daughter ecstatic. Elizabeth offered 3 levels of quality and prices. I was able to pick and choose what levels I wanted to spend. Even the highest priced level was well within our budget. I totally recommend Van Nuys Flowers to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding at an affordable price! Thank you Elizabeth and your entire staff.

Elizabeth at Van Nuys Flowers is amazing. She did a fantastic job on all of the flowers for my daughters wedding which was on ²⁄₁₅₁₄. But my daughter’s bouquet was the most awesome and elegant bouquet I’ve ever seen.
If you are ever in need of flowers I highly recommend Elizabeth at Van Nuys Flowers.

It was so pleasant calling this flower shop for a sympathy arrangement that I needed delivered. I called at 4pm and the florist did not hesitate to help me have it delivered before 6pm. My co-​worker loved the arrangement. Excellent customer service! Thank you!

They are so nice there! Service with a smile. I went here looking for some roses to give to our parents for our homecoming football game. I beleive Elizabeth and another man were there. They were so friendly and immediately helped me out. They put together three beautiful sets of roses with babies breathe wrapped with a silver bow. The prices were reasonable and they really put some TLC into the flowers. I will definetely make this my spot I go to for flowers for our events at our school. Friendly service goes a long way!

I really hate giving out bad reviews but I need to for this.
The whole wedding flower planning process with Elizabeth was very confusing and frustrating to say the least. Elizabeth made me feel that because We couldn’t afford all the extra bows and whistles our wedding wasn’t going to be nice.
I told her I preferred simplicity anyways, it was a rustic wedding after all. I had also told her I didn’t want the flowers (especially the ivory roses) to look dead before I walked down the isle because I had just been to a wedding with that problem. And the roses were to be kept at a minimum bc my whole theme was based of of sunflowers which are my favorite. All I wanted was large sunflowers, mini sunflowers, a few ivory roses and baby’s breath.
My bouquet didn’t even have large sunflowers at all!!! And it was mostly DEAD brown edged ivory roses! I didn’t even take pictures with it bc I hates it so much.
My husbands flower was supposed to be mini sunflowers and all it was was an ivory rose! So he made his dad wear it and he wore his dads.
Then she didn’t even give us the correct number of bouteniers, we had to make my dad one by taking things from out centerpieces.
My mother in laws corsage didn’t match anything and didn’t have ANY of the flowers that were on our proposal.
Now onto the bridesmaids bouquets, the bottoms were not even at all and cut extremely jagged, and the ribbon wrapped around them was done in an extremely sloppy fashion, all my bridesmaids complained bc they kept getting stabbed!
One of our centerpieces even had a huge GREEN sunflower, how does that even happen!?? My husband paid for the whole wedding and I did every other detail from the flower girl dresses to the favors. I should have done the flowers as well.
If you pay $ 150 for your bouquet it should at least be what you wanted. And not completely dead before the ceremony!
She even added these ugly red things that didn’t match the wedding whatsoever.
I’ve never been so disappointed.

I love Van Nuys Flowers. Elizabeth and her team have always been responsive and accommodating. I have ordered flowers on several occasions and the recipients have always loved the FRESH flower arrangements she has made!
I would recommend Van Nuys Flowers to all my family and friends!

While what Elizabeth provided for our wedding looked great, we did not get everything we paid for. We ordered a toss bouquet and paid for it in full (everything has to be paid for before you see any of it), but the day of the wedding, it never showed.
Also, she didn’t exactly do everything in her power to make us feel comfortable through the process of putting together our order. She is disorganized and a lot of our consultation with her was spent sitting around while she looked for specific pictures that she couldn’t find in scattered albums around her office. When it came to getting us an estimate, it took her days longer than she expected because she was having «computer problems.» I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised when she missed the toss bouquet.
My friend recently had an experience where she met with Elizabeth, but then when she had more questions after the initial consultation, she was told that she would have to pay $ 235 an hour for any further questions for her «expertise.»
The long and short of it:
Pros: Quality of the floral arrangements.
Cons: Somewhat difficult to work with and needs constant follow-​up.
Would be three to four stars, but lowered due to missing items and unprofessional business practices.

Unfortunately, I am updating my review based on the experience a friend of mine recently had with Elizabeth. Because Elizabeth was so accommodating during my wedding, I have recommended her to all of my engaged friends without hesitation. My maid of honor ended up using her as her florist and everything went fine. However, another one of my friends recently met with Elizabeth and had a different experience.
After her initial meeting with Elizabeth, my friend e-​mailed back and forth asking some specific questions about the floral arrangements she had in mind. She wanted to be sure she was going to get exactly what she wanted. She then received an e-​mail saying if she had any more questions, she would either need to put down a deposit or pay her a $ 235/​hr consultation fee for her expertise. Ummm… sorry, $ 235/​hr? Neither myself nor my maid of honor heard were ever told of this «consultation fee»; it seemed like she was just blowing off my friend. It’s a shame, because she was planning on going with Elizabeth until she received that e-​mail.
I’m NOT comfortable referring Elizabeth to my friends anymore. It’s a shame, because she did do a good job at my wedding,
