Tina’s Flowers

Amazing flowers, great prices and beyond great service. Flowers come from Ecuador and last over 10 days. Btw they are long stemmed

The people here are so rude it’s almost funny. You kind of feel like you’ve walked into a Saturday Night Live skit. I ordered a graduation lei here and the flowers were ok. I asked for a double lei but it was definitely not double flowers yet the owner yelled at me and told me I was wrong. So I was stuck paying for a double when clearly I received a single. Another time I ordered a corsage and boutonnière for a dance here and despite the fact that I ordered it a week in advance I was still kept waiting 30 minutes while they made it when I was scheduled to pick it up. The roses on the corsage were edged in brown and wilted. I pointed this out and Tina again yelled at me. The prices are good compared to other florists, but when the flowers are borderline dead it’s not really a good deal. Tina and her husband are so rude it’s bizarre. Their staff is friendly but they don’t speak English so it makes it difficult to communicate. Also DO NOT go near the bird in the store! He is aggressive and he bites! They let him roam pretty freely around the store which seems like a bad idea with a mean bird that will bite. But it’s kind of fitting here…

The best words to describe the service is MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT!!! I had personally stopped by the flower shop and requested the flowers that I wanted in the arrangement but I did not get anything close to what I had asked for. I got nothing worth the money I paid. SO SAD!!! So poorly arranged and outdated.

Tina ruined my wedding day. She is abusive, unstable, and cheated my family. If I could give her 0 stars I would. She quit the day of my wedding without completing our order and after terrorizing everyone.
I wish I had read the review by Melissa S. before because it is very similar to what happened to me. My wedding planner said she had never worked with someone so unprofessional and mean spirited before. The other vendors were taken aback by Tina’s horrifying behavior as well.
When I first met Tina she was brusque, but her prices were good, and I figured all that mattered was that she could do the job.
I did everything I could to make sure she understood what we needed. I sent her emails with pictures, talked to her in person, and called her. Every time she said she understood, so I thought we were in good hands.
Getting closer to the wedding, I needed a contract and paperwork for our venue. Every time I tried to remind her she’d either say she was getting to it that day or call me a liar and say I never emailed her. When she finally emailed me she sent the wrong order, even though I had listed everything out for her in all my other emails. When I pointed out it was the wrong order she yelled at me for not being clear with her. Eventually this turned into screaming at me for the venue even requiring paperwork from her. It was like she thought it was some weird conspiracy I cooked up to personally insult her!
I felt stuck listening to her screaming at me because we were so close to the wedding and didn’t have another choice for flowers. I would end every call in tears. Eventually, I asked my fiancé and wedding planner to take over all communication with her because my nerves were shot. She ignored almost all their calls. My wedding planner was able to get in touch with her last minute and get her to show up the day of the wedding.
The day of the wedding Tina set up in a completely different way from how we had discussed (multiple times by email, in person, and by phone). When my family asked her to fix her work, she took this as a personal insult on her skills as a florist and went off on them. Multiple family members had to plead with her to get her to fix her work, and everything ran behind schedule.
When my husband and I were taking our pictures, our wedding planner had to interrupt us multiple times because Tina was demanding a cash payment on the spot. She had NEVER told us we would need to pay cash. In fact, no final amount was ever decided because she refused to complete the paperwork! We didn’t have that kind of cash on hand, and eventually my planner convinced her to accept a check. We paid her the arbitrary amount, despite the fact that she had NOT finished the job, because we were honestly worried that she was so emotionally unstable she might damage or take back the arrangements she did do.
She stomped off after she got her money. She did not provide everything we paid for. This included my family having to disassemble and clean up themselves — a job that was very difficult because it required a ladder and several tools. Our arrangement had included family heirlooms that got damaged in disassembly because we did not have the proper tools.
Do yourself a favor and don’t hire Tina. She has some good reviews, but it’s really not worth the risk that she might be in a bad mood and take it out on you. Her prices aren’t worth it because she doesn’t come through on what you order; instead you get a heaping plate of abuse.

The best and freshest. When I want the top for my wife, I go here. Not the junk at the supermarkets. This is the real thing. Also for the selection. An expertise. What does some 17 year old at Ralphs know about flowers? For $ 20 I got this incredible collection. I have been going here for 5 years and will continue.

I have mixed feelings about this store. Overall, you get what you pay for. The prices are very reasonable and her selection is good, but I think the final product is underwhelming and lacked the creativity that we thought we were getting (despite multiple pics). A few false promises were made, but fortunately in the end, things turned out to be ok. I would still come back, but not for big occasions.

MOST AMAZING PEOPLE TO WORK WITH! They put their heart and soul into there work! They went above and beyond to make my day even more that special. If you don’t hire them, it’s your lose and some else’s gain! I had somewhat an idea and they took it to another level! There ideas and input is simply remarkable in every way! Best vendors!!! Thank you for being amazing and I can’t wait to work with you on my next event!

Tina was my florist for my wedding, and is our go-​to florist anytime we need flowers. We were VERY happy with her work for the wedding, as she was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the process, was the first vendor to arrive the day of our wedding and the last vendor to leave (although she had a horrible fever) and gave us exactly what we ordered. The flowers were all fresh and beautiful! We have ordered flowers from her multiple times since then and have always been very happy with her work, not to mention that her prices are unbeatable, especially for a large event like a wedding. The quote she gave us was not even comparable in value compared to others we received for the same arrangement. I would HIGHLY recommend her!

We used Tina’s Flowers for our recent Newport Beach wedding and I couldn’t have been happier with the work she did. The flowers were so beautiful! Tina followed the picture examples we gave her perfectly. Everything from the way she decorated our Chuppah, to the centerpieces, to the bridesmaid bouquets, to my bridal bouquet was absolutely flawless. We received so many compliments on all of the floral arrangements, and Tina was very professional and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Tina’s Flowers!

Tina’s flowers was my place of choice for my wedding. She did an amazing job from the ceremony flowers, to the bouquets. everything was what we expected and more… The quality of flowers that she uses is the best. Roses were big and beautiful, so were the Lilies…
thank you Tina. Love Liz and Konstantin

Got flowers for Mothers’s Day and for my sister’s graduation. They looked absolutely beautiful Such nice people too and the way they fix and arrange the flowers for you. I highly recommend!

So today marks 12 days prior to our wedding. At 6:30 this morning I want to do something special for my bride to be and order a dozen red roses to make this day one to remember. I ordered from Tina’s Flowers online through the store website. I was pretty liberal I thought in my comment, I asked if they could be delivered by 12:00 as my lady would be in training meetings with new employees all afternoon. At 11:30 I called and the person who answered phone had no idea of my order. At 1:30 I call back and the owner isn’t there and the help says they are out of flowers. I get a call back from ‘Tina’, telling me they were indeed out of flowers and the delivery would be made some time this afternoon. Spoken to as if I had been asking to much for a flower shop to deliver a dozen roses by 12:00 noon. The site says they open at 9am for goodness sake!
So now it’s 2:18, three phone calls to the florist and two to Bloomnation and Al I got was they would be delivered some time today.
Yeah, newsflash, I am the customer here! And neither of the contacts really gave a darn.
Tina’s Flowers and Bloomnation both get zero stars from me… still no flowers of which they will now have to leave with someone besides my girl or disrupt the train meeting. You guys suck!
Update, 2:50. No delivery.
Second update, after I was told by Bloomnation at 1:45 that Tina told them the the flowers would be delivered within 30 minutes, almost two hours ago, no flowers delivered yet. :(
.they showed up at 3:45
Definitely not quite up to there motto, aiming to succeed!

Best florist in the valley with the best price. Specially you pre order. The owner is very nice.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS FLORIST. I ordered flowers for my granddaughter’s birthday online. They were never delivered.
I tried for days via phone and email, sending a copy of the order confirmation, to this company and NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE. They stole $ 53 from me. BEWARE.

Oh my gosh I absolutely LOVE Tina and Raul! They did my wedding and it was absolutely extravagant! They created a wall of candles 12×24 and it was stunning and my guests were raving about the flowers. They worked with all the ideas I had about my wedding, and made it absolutely perfect. I cannot stress anymore how much I love and recommend them!

Just got done with wedding weekend and Tinas Flowers made it a dream! Everything was beyond perfect. Her and her team made sure the décor was everything I asked for and so so much more! I wish I could give this place 10 stars!!! The flowers were amazing quality, the center pieces were put together so beautifully, my guests couldn’t stop complimenting and even tried to take some home!!! Definitely recommend 100% love you Tina!!!

Tina did the flowers for my wedding.
Pros:
1. Great price! The best in town for weddings!
2. Centerpieces were wonderful and elegant! Got a lot of compliments.
Cons:
1. Did not get what I paid for. For instance, the boutonnières were huge, and could not be worn by all the guys. They were not what I ordered, and they just did not look like a professional had made them :(. She also did not decorate a few places at the venue (e.g. cake table!!), and when I spoke her to her later, she flimsily blamed the venue (And how were they involved with the boutonnieres, they weren’t!). She absolved herself completely of her contracted responsibilities.
2. Overworked and unorganized (similar words used in another review, should’ve listened). It seems Tina does not say no. It is apparent she does a lot of jobs at the same time, and I get that she is running a business, but it should not be at the expense of a paid customer and their once in a lifetime special occasion.
I would recommend hiring her because her prices are great and she definitely can deliver a good product, but I (or an appointed person) would watch her like a hawk at the time of your occasion to make sure that things are done exactly the way you agreed upon, which is what I regrettably didn’t do — believe it or not I trusted her :(! Of all the wedding vendors, she was the only one who did not deliver what she had been paid for!

Recommendation: DO NOT SHOP AT THIS PLACE!
My recommendation is about the customer service at this place and not the flowers themselves.
I went to the shopping center to visit Timekeeper (a great place for watches by the way) and Tina’s Flowers. I was going to place an order for flower arrangements for a big holiday event being held in December. When I entered the parking lot, there was a spot directly in front of me which also happened to be the spot right in front of Tina’s Flowers. After I had parked, a woman (who I later found out was the owner), yelled over to me that I couldn’t park in that spot because it was a loading zone. I asked her where it was posted that it was restricted parking and she said the curb was painted yellow and that unless I wanted a ticket, I would have to move. As I was backing out of the spot, I noticed a van waiting behind me. Due to street restrictions on Ventura, I was forced to park in the Starbucks lot. After walking back to the shopping center, I noticed that not only were all of the parking curbs in the lot parked yellow but that the van that had been behind me was now parked in the spot. And, surprise!, painted on the side of the van was «Tina’s Flowers». Since the owner was still standing in front of her shop, I went over to her and asked why she had clearly lied to me about why I couldn’t park in the spot. She told me to go away and wouldn’t answer me. The male driver of the van came over to me and smiling he told me that everything was OK. Since the owner was still circling around and yelling, I left the area and went into Timekeeper to purchase a watch.
This was a rather large order that I was going to purchase for an event of more 100 people and after reading the other reviews on this site about Tina’s Flowers I am doubly glad that I never placed an order for the flowers at this place.

Tina was my wedding florist and thanks to her I spent the week of my wedding crying!
She scammed me, did my wedding with flowers I hated, and got paid more than we originally agreed.
When I first met her I loved her. She had customers come in towards the end of our conversation and so I gave her a cash deposit and she promised she would send me the invoice/​contract that night. She never did. Every day for a long time she would say «tonight.» Eventually I gave up. I trusted her though because when I would tell her that I wanted a contract in case we forgot what we agreed on, she would list everything from A-​Z that we spoke about. I should have known something was wrong when she referred me to a lighting guy «she had seen around» who told me he was her brother! When I mentioned the word «brother» to her she passionately denied it and got mad, but later admitted it was true.
Two weeks before the wedding was my first warning when she tried to tell me that my ceremony flowers were going to be hydrangeas, and we agreed on orchids/​roses. I thankfully found a written document that we both had that clearly stated roses/​orchids. She responded «fine, I’ll do it.» like she was doing me a favor!
A few days before my wedding (still no contract) I asked her to go over everything (because of what happened with the ceremony flowers) and suddenly everything was cut in half. Also, magically things what were included in our agreed price she was now «not going to do for free». Mind you these are things my coordinator heard her telling me were agreed upon. Not only that, she said if I don’t pay her (the made up price she gave me) cash immediately, she wasn’t doing the wedding. I left in tears and my now husband went to her the next day with cash on the condition she send us a contract. She ended up throwing our money in his face (2 days before the wedding). Because we had no time to find a florist, we needed her to do it. He gave her more money and agreed to have much less than we were originally promised. She did end up doing it, but with everything purposely all wrong. On top of it, she CAME to the wedding and made faces the whole time.
Terrible florist, terrible human being.

Did I go into the same place the people who gave 5 stars did??? My experience was NOT good here. Here a few of my issues:
1) Trying to speak with the woman at the desk was a chore, to put it politely. Between
the fact that English is clearly not her primary language, she kept making/​taking calls while we were trying to order, she actually walked off in the middle of a discussion to speak with a friend that walked in, and her utter lack of interest in us was disturbing.
2) Absolutely no selection of flowers in the frig. She knew that this was prom week, and didn’t order anything fresh… and although the photos of corsages and boutonnière on her desk all had baby’s breath in them, she had none. And she had nothing even remotely close to replace it.
3) She showed me a page of corsages, and said they were all $ 16. I repeated back to her «ok, so no matter which one we choose, they are all $ 16?». She said yes. So, the three of us choose two corsages… picked out ribbon color, etc… and then she said «Oh no, not those» those are higher”…WTF?
4) Although my daughter did not have time to go somewhere else, and therefore, was forced to buy one from Tina’s, I went elsewhere for the other corsage. Upon pick up, the corsage we bought from Tina’s was made from half dead roses that were not only wilted with curled edges on the outside petals, but there was brown freezer burn and bruising on them as well. These roses should have been thrown out two days before.
5) The strap broke within 10 minutes of wearing… while we were taking pictures. Absolutely no activity other than standing still for photos.
What a complete disappointment. I gave two stars instead of one, because they were cheap ($ 16 for the corsage vs 22 elsewhere), BUT clearly you get what you pay for… although, at $ 16 for three wilted half dead roses on a broken strap, we did NOT get our money’s worth anyway…
