Hidalgo Flowers

I met with Alfredo for the first time today at the Chula Vista farmers market. I am planning my October wedding, and have been scouring the Internet and referrals for the best florists (and most affordable) in the area. He was extremely warm and personable from the first seconds we walked up… I was so comfortable that before I had even introduced myself, I blurted out, «I want you to do my wedding!». He is such a kind and caring man, I cannot wait to continue planning our floral arrangements with him! Thank you so much for being AWESOME!

This review is way overdue. Alfredo is an absolute sweetheart and dream to work with. I was thrilled with my wedding flowers and his pricing. I really enjoyed picking my flowers up at his farm also. They were so flexible with arranging flowers for about 50ish some odd sized vintage vases and the bouquets were stunning. I got exactly what I had envisioned at a fraction of the cost of what other places would have cost me. Thank you!!!

Thank you Alfredo for putting together a beautiful arrangement for the Temecula Birth and Baby Fair this morning and for selling me all the beautiful roses that I gave away today. Everyone smiled and was appreciative.

I met Alfredo at the Saturday Temecula farmers market. I’ve also talked with his associates at the Wednesday Temecula farmers market. Everyone has always been super kind and helpful and his prices are unbeatable. I bought all of my wedding flowers from him and made all my bouquets myself. I am now purchasing flowers from him for a surprise party and my friend is going to have him do the center pieces for her upcoming wedding.
Alfredo is there to help. He can do anything you need, he died roses purple for me and I lOVED them. He also died carnations for me and they were the most beautiful shade of purple, worked perfectly for all of my aisle flowers. We bought flowers from him this past Valentine’s Day and he truly has the most beautiful bouquets and the best most reasonable prices in town. I HIGHLY recommend Hidalgo Flowers and working with Alfredo!

It was so great working with Alfredo at Hidalgo Flowers. The price can’t be beat! We met with Alfredo at the Temecula Farmer’s market and discussed what we were looking for. He quickly gave us a price quote. We confirmed with him over the phone what we wanted and it went off without a hitch.
The look he created was very modern. We had a wide array of flowers to choose from, but mostly went with what was in season. Alfredo created five boutonnieres, three corsages and three bouquets — including the bridal bouquet.
We highly recommend working with Hidalgo Flowers!

Where do I even start. While planning my wedding I was very stressed out about the whole flower situation because of how expensive they normally are. I almost resorted in fake flowers! Until my mom came across this place on Unilocal.Let me tell you. Within the first 5 minutes of being their all of my worries had disappeared. Alfredo is a miracle worker. I had a small budget for wedding flowers ($ 700) to be exact and that is nothing. In the beginning of the appointment he asked me what my budget was, and that was the last time we talked about it. Then he proceeded to take me through his shop and told me to pick out what ever flowers I wanted for the arrangements. After 1 hour or being their personally picking out over 40 centerpieces, décor for the ceremony and my whole bridal parties bouquets/​corsages he was able to give me everything I wanted for the exact price I was looking for. He has great customer service and his communication is incredible. He even called me about 2 months prior to the event just to make sure everything we had previously discussed was still the vision I had in mind! I would absolutely recommend this place to any one. Whether a small budget or a big budget he will make your dreams come true. And the flowers where absolutely beautiful!!!

Hidalgo did the flowers for my wedding four years ago, and my parents were so happy they used Hidalgo again for my sister’s wedding two years ago. I frequently purchase flowers from them at our local farmer’s market (including flowers I used for my daughter’s first birthday party) and have always been so happy with their selection, quality, and their pleasant staff.

Alfredo is wonderful! He’s very passionate about what he does. I went to see him at the Chula Vista Farmer’s Market, where he helped my fiancé and I put arrangements together for our bridesmaid’s bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces. He’s very knowledgable about his flowers and has a great selection. The day before my flower pick-​up, Alfredo called me and notified me that some of the flowers I requested had run out and that he would replace them with another flower that was just as beautiful, and there was no extra charge. I loved my flowers, and everyone commented on how beautiful the arrangements were. I highly recommend using Hidalgo Flowers!

Alfredo is the nicest guy on the planet. Let’s just start there. He did my wedding yesterday and we were so blown away by how beautiful the flowers were. Pretty than any other wedding flowers I have seen online or on Pinterest. They were absolutely amazing. And you can NOT beat the price. I don’t even know how he makes money. These flowers are practically cost price. Down side is that he doesn’t deliver or put ribbon around the flowers. Also make sure you are on the same page about where you are picking up and when. He also is very knowledgable about what is needed for a wedding. Recommend 100%

Alfredo put together the flowers for my wedding this past weekend and they were PERFECT.
I know nothing about flowers, so when I met with him (just 2 weeks before the wedding), he went through what he had, what’s in season, what looks good with what and which flowers have the best fragrances. He listened to what I liked and didn’t like and promised to have everything ready the day before the wedding — 3 bouquets, 5 boutonnieres, 4 corsages and 32 mini bouquets for the tables.
My fiancé picked the flowers up from the shop, so I didn’t even see them until my bouquet was handed to me right before the wedding. I could not have asked for anything better! The flowers were brilliant, smelled wonderfully and the bouquets were all the perfect size.
I will definitely be recommending Hidalgo Flowers to my friends getting married soon!

The best place to get flowers for any occasion hands down. Alfredo Hildago is very reasonable and he’ll cater to your every need. I was amazed at his pricings (compared to multiple florist I went to) and is even cheaper than Costco when buying in bulk. Hildago is very approachable and will get you exactly what you want. His flowers are vibrant and fresh and I would recommend him to anyone. I will definitely come back.

Alfredo and Hidalgo Flowers are nothing short of Amazing! I coordinate special events at a winery and even with just a day’s notice Alfredo can pull what I need together and always at a fantastic price. Before I found them I would spend hours buying the flowers and putting them together myself, but no longer! I just visit the farmers market in Temecula and he always has a fantastic selection and the biggest smile! Couldn’t say enough great things and I look forward to many more successful events using Hidalgo Flowers as our centerpieces! Thanks!

Hidalgo Flowers is a great place to get your wedding/​event flowers! Alfredo loves what he does and you can tell – it shines though his plants and his work. He is so knowledgeable about flowers you can completely trust him to make decisions about the types of flowers that will be best for your budget and and which ones will be in season for your event. I told him I wanted white flowers, pointed out a few that I liked, gave him a pretty tight budget to work with, and let him run with it. I was not disappointed!

Working with Alfredo was one of the best things a did when planning my wedding. He made absolutely beautiful arrangements, and the prices were great. I was a bit skeptical ordering a large number of arrangements only 2 weeks before our wedding and choosing only the flowers I saw at farmers markets, but I LOVED the flowers. They were a highlight of the day.

Alfredo is awesome. We just had him put together all the flowers for our wedding and they were beautiful. Here are some things to know if you are looking for wedding flowers.
* Alfredo is a flower grower. This means that you will get fresh, beautiful flowers and they will be significantly less expensive than they would if you were working with a traditional florist.
* Alfredo really knows what he is doing when putting bouquets together. He asked my mom how tall I was so that he knew what size to make my bouquet to ensure it wasn’t over or underwhelming in the photos.
* Because Alfredo is a grower, he does not have a team in place to deliver your flowers to your ceremony or reception location. Be sure you have a wedding coordinator or someone available to pick up your flowers.
* Alfredo prefers cash only, so be prepared to pay cash (send the cash with whoever picks up the flowers)
* Lastly, don’t forget that you will have to supply your own ribbon/​bows/​flower holders. They will come wrapped in a green tape to camouflage the tape, but if you want a bow you’ll have to tie it on yourself.
Hope this helps anyone looking to use Alfredo for their wedding!

I went to Alfredo for some wedding flower quotes, he was super friendly and professional and gave me a quote on the spot with no problems.
Although we did not end up using him for our wedding flowers, he was very helpful, his flowers were gorgeous, and he was well educated on seasonality/​availability of local flowers.
He was great to work with and so so nice! Looking forward to visiting him a the local SD farmers markets more often :)

Alfredo from Hidalgo Flowers is the absolute best at what he does. Personable, friendly and provides amazing customer service! He will be my «go to» guy from here on out! The best flowers I’ve ever seen!

Hildago and his crew are the best! He just did the 14 beautiful flower arrangements and 6 bouquets for my daughter’s wedding. First of all, he is wonderful to work with – both professional and very friendly. He listens to what you want and provides great suggestions. He is quick to respond to your phone calls and all the bouquets were just as he described, beautiful and very fresh. Plus, his prices are amazing. The possible drawback is that he doesn’t deliver. I picked them up the day of the wedding, however, I found the arrangements looked even better a couple days after when the roses had opened up more. So you could easily pick them up a couple of days before the event so you don’t have to rush around the day of.

Beautiful flowers.
Come see on Wednesdays in San Juan Capistrano. Go to

Okay. This was a hard review for me to write, mainly because my experiences with Hidalgo Flowers at farmer’s markets have been nothing short of perfection, 5 stars. But we were sorely, SORELY disappointed in what happened with our wedding flowers.
We chatted with Alfredo Hidalgo, the owner, at the La Jolla farmer’s market about a week before our wedding (obviously, we weren’t too concerned with our wedding flowers since we waited so long to even think about them). Alfredo was super nice and patient, and he helped us pick out all the flowers for the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres, and then we just ordered a bunch of extra flowers for a friend to put together in jars for centerpieces. Not too complicated, nothing fancy, and we were really happy with what we picked out. Alfredo was busy with other customers at the time, so he said he would calculate how much it would cost and would call me within a couple days.
Now, it is nearly impossible to get in contact with them by phone. I had Alfredo’s card and cell phone number, and I called repeatedly but no one ever answered. He did return my phone call several days after I was promised a quote, at which point I was a tad nervous that I still hadn’t heard from him. The price was great for wedding flowers — less than $ 400 for everything. Perfect.
Now comes the really weird part — when our friend picked up the wedding flowers from the Little Italy farmer’s market, she was shocked at how they looked. Apparently, a significant percentage of the flowers were dead/​dying/​beat-​up, and generally not presentable. She discarded of a good number of the flowers and got to work furiously rearranging to make things work with the flowers that did look good. In the end, our flowers looked great although some definitely started to wilt and die half way through our wedding. Things would have been VERY ugly were it not for our friend’s hard work. Unfortunately, Hidalgo Flowers just didn’t supply the quality of flowers we expected at all.
To be clear, our expectations were not sky high — we just wanted fresh flowers comparable to what we see and love at the farmers market. We are really confused about why we got such poor quality arrangements, and we’re just really grateful for our hardworking friend who fixed things! In retrospect, it was so much more affordable than other options, I guess that’s just what we get…
Just to reiterate, at the farmers market, the flowers are great, and the people are very nice. If you just want to show up at the market, expect a 5 star experience every time. But if you want to contact them outside the farmers market, good luck. One star for availability. And if you want to use them for flowers for an event, either be prepared to re-​work the flowers or be VERY clear with them about the quality of flowers you expect. Something got lost in our communications, and our wedding flowers would have sucked if we hadn’t had a wonderful friend completely re-​work ALL our flower arrangements and bouquets.
