Designers choice bouquets. Exquisite. Very happy with our purchase. Thank you so much!

TL F.

This review is embarrassingly long overdue... we hosted our wedding at The Table in 2016 and their manager suggested we use Apis Floral since they provided flowers for the restaurant weekly. I've never been more grateful for a referral! Jose & team were amazing to work with and their creations are absolutely magical and reasonably priced. We were originally going to get married in front of the meat case, but they strongly recommended that we consider having them build an archway/focal point for our ceremony and it was breathtakingly gorgeous! As far as other arrangements, we just told them we wanted the colors to match the restaurant's decor and we'd love to have herbs/produce incorporated to play into the farm-to-table approach of the restaurant. Apis delivered beyond our wildest dreams! We told our guests that they could take centerpieces home, and they were almost all snatched up (including a most of the ceremony archway!) before I could save a couple for ourselves - which is especially impressive since the majority of our guests flew in for the wedding. People still talk to us about our floral arrangements all these years later and we've ordered bouquets from Apis for special occasions or gifts for our friends. Apis are our flower guys for life.

Apis Floral - Stunning. They created they most beautiful floral I have seen. They took what my Daughters Design "Moody Wedding" and created art work. They were delivered all the floral early in the day so we could take lots of Pre wedding photos. When working with them, they were spot on with floral names and textures. I have been in event planning for many years and have rarely seen floral for a wedding that is this unique and stunning. The only issue, and I hate to say this was communication. One booked, I had a few changes. I sent emails and left phone calls that were slow to be responded to. All in all I would highly recommend Apis Floral for private and corporate....maybe ask what is the best way to communicate any changes with them.

There are so many choices when sending flowers that it can be literally overwhelming. The question really becomes: are we sending basic flowers or not? Not to knock the other guys but companies that will deliver a small bouquet of roses, carnations, some babies breath and maybe a lily for flair are a dime a dozen. Save those for when you're sending flowers to your mother in law after a procedure. The true loves deserve Apis. The flowers and arrangements are exquisite and the price point can't be beat!!! Guys: if you're sending your lady flowers and actually want another date, send these. When guys send the carnation brands it's ground for immediate delete; worse than a green box on a text chain.

Apis Floral created a beautiful flower decor for our event in Montalvo Arts Center. Their creativity and attention to details are very impressive! Their flowers are fresh, vibrant and lush. They also setup and decorated a beautiful boxwood backdrop and attached all the names of the sponsors of our event for Ava's Kitchen Organization. It was a pleasure to work and coordinate this event with Apis Floral. I recommend them for floral decor for weddings, corporate events, fundraisers, anniversaries and other social events. Thank you, 5 stars! Dina Bay Area Event Planner dinasdeluxeevents.com

The APIS team put together the most beautiful arrangements for our May 2023 Wedding! They were on our venues recommended vendor list, so we had to check them out. They went above and beyond in terms of service and communication; were able to take our timeless (classic) vision of white and green florals and make it into something incredible. We initially met with Efrain (our point of contact) for a consultation. He's worked weddings at Nestldown many times before, so he knew how to best reuse our florals from ceremony, to dinner and reception. He got back to us with a reasonable quote and even as we made changes throughout the planning process, was mindful of our budget. The team is really knowledgable; was able to recommend in-season florals without breaking the bank and they were genuinely a pleasure to work with. Shout out to Jose, who on the wedding day gave me great advice for walking down the isle and even put on my veil right before the ceremony- truly a man of many talents.

Had the opportunity to work with Efrain and it was a pleasure. Apis Floral is one of Levi's Stadium's preferred vendors, so we decided to hire them for our xmas party. We sure made the right decision. From the get-go, Efrain was easy to work with. We spoke maybe twice, and mostly emailed. I pretty much let him go wild with our arrangement. Shared with him the colors we liked, the budget and just let him run free with his imagination, after all, this is his forte. The boss and I were overly pleased with the outcome. In my 21-year history with the company, I'd have to say Efrain's arrangements ranks one of my favorites. Will definitely be contracting him for future work at our company events.

Beautiful letter "D" custom succulent planter.

If it wasn't for a friend that recommended this place to me, I would have never thought to come in to get the most special gift I picked out for my sister for her bday last week. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love me some flowers. You can even catch me at my local grocery store grabbing bunches of flowers just so I can have fresh bouquets at my house on a weekly basis. Something about flowers just make me smile. But the one thing I don't love is that they die. Apis has the perfect solution for this because they offer several choices of planters where you can choose your own succulents to put inside of them. When I saw that they had wooden box planters in the Alphabet letters, I was immediately drawn to the letter "D" for my sister's name-- Daisy. Like the giddy excited child that I am, I picked out all of the succulents that went into her "D" box and showed them to the florist so that she could plant them for me. Leviere was her name and she was amazing. She had my custom box made for me in 3 days. When I came to pick it up, I was floored at what a beautiful job she did making it come alive. Literally. And the true test? The look on my sister's face when I gave her the gift. She loved it. And guess what.. I want one now too. I'm going to have to come back and visit Api's again to get one for myself.

Received the most unique LARGE bouquet from my granddaughter this weekend! Almost made it worth while to be officially old at 80!

Gorgeous and whimsical
Brenda L.

When I saw my wedding flowers, I couldn't stop saying "ughh" because I couldn't process and handle how pretty the flowers were. I really cannot get over how wonderful, gorgeous, whimsical, soft, and unique my floral arrangements were . I absolutely, positively, adore Efrain and Jose. They are such sweethearts and are so incredibly great at what they do. They also give great hugs. It takes a lot of talent and creativity to do gorgeous and unique floral arrangements. They did their job and excelled at it with little direction. I researched a lot, and I mean, a lot, of florists before booking Apis and knew that when I found Apis, they were the right florists for me. Flowers aren't #1 priority for all brides but for me, it was an area I wanted to splurge on. I love flowers and have 0 regrets about spending on this area. My guests all thought my arrangements were gorgeous. I got to pick out the gold-speckled compote vases for the centerpieces. The only thing I was confused about was whether or not my wedding dress was used for the floral arrangements. I think my mom dropped off the extra fabric from my dress to be used as the ribbon on the nosegays and bridal bouquet but I didn't recognize or see it on the bouquets. I love the Apis location inside the warehouse and how cute and whimsical their entire space is. You can buy lots of pretty gifts and items there outside of floral arrangements. They have candles, vases, cards, mugs and much more. We got comped the boutonnieres for the fathers of the bride and groom and the groomsmen. It was such a generous gesture. I was surprised by how large the nosegays were. I expected them to be half the size but they were quite full and large! I didn't choose specific flowers that I wanted because I knew that I'd love all and any flowers and that there were probably a lot of flower varieties I didn't know the names of that the florists could incorporate. I just told them I wanted peach, purple and pink shades and a loose, flowy, and whimsical shape. I didn't want a hard ball of monotoned roses and I didn't want a glam look despite my relatively glam venue. Apis did my sweetheart table arrangement, cocktail table arrangements, large ceremony arrangements, and fireplace mantle garland as well. Other flower arrangements you might consider for a wedding include plate garnish, flower girl crown, or corsages. My mom, maid of honor and I gushed over the flowers and felt it was 150% worth every penny. I know that others sometimes don't care for nice centerpieces because they have family-style dining where the centerpiece takes up space and guests end up just moving it and putting it on the ground. For my wedding, we had buffet-style dining and we had very large tables. I knew I'd have space for a nice and large centerpiece. I learned about Apis Floral thru a venue space that they frequently decorate (Nestldown in Los Gatos, CA). Making a reservation to come into their shop to look at their inventory was easy to do. I was happy that they were familiar with my wedding venue (SCVCC-Silver Creek Valley Country Club) so I was confident that transportation and getting there wouldn't be a problem for them. I liked that Apis has a wide variety of floral arrangements and they can adapt to many different styles (from romantic, to classic, modern, fun, whimsical, etc). I saw that they had done a kumquat tree arrangement for a Brazilian (?) bride at SCVCC and thought that it was so original & 1 of a kind. I came to their shop (located in a warehouse) to do a consultation with Efrain. It was nice because he pulled different compote vases that I could choose from, votive options, and larger flower stand options. For the larger pieces, they keep the bottom of the flower arrangement but for the shorter centerpieces, you get to keep everything (compote vase included). My mom ended up buying an iridescent vase with wispy dry plants inside for $27. It cost over $30 but Efrain gave us a deal. It was so gorgeous, soft and whimsical. Their prices are very fair and Efrain works with you and your budget goals. I wouldn't have had so much trust in other florists based on their portfolios and past work but with Apis, I had 100% trust and was able to let go of the bride reigns and relax a little.

This shop is all sorts of adorbs. I just plain dig this entire building on Lincoln Ave, home to a brewery, bike shop, furniture store, coffee roaster, clear ice specialist (ya that's right), and of course Apis Floral. AF is a small florist/home decor shop that packs a pretty punch. I'm talking wall to wall stuff like floral arrangements, succulents, candles, neat matchboxes, pots and planters, books, and more! Plus they bring in great seasonal stuff so you'll always find something new and exciting. And you can always expect to be greeted by a friendly face and smile. The service is always great. It's just an all around awesome local biz.

Apis Floral did an amazing job for our wedding at Nestldown this September. We asked for loose, whimsical florals in neutrals & blush, with a touch of blue and gold, and Jose and his team definitely nailed it! Not only us, the couple, but all the guests loved the centerpieces and many took them home (FYI: we offered them to our guests as we couldn't take any since our cats like to nip on plants). Their pricing is very reasonable for the services that they provide, and we highly recommend them for any important events you have!

The space is beautifully designed and has such an elevated, calming atmosphere that makes browsing a pleasure.

After learning I was looking for Citronnelle, he introduced me to the new Summer Collection Citronnelle & Géranium Body Gel. I was hooked. It captured everything I love about the fragrance while feeling fresh, sophisticated, and perfect for summer. It's something I never would have discovered if he hadn't taken the time to understand what I was looking for. What stood out most was how thoughtful and genuine the service felt. Noah was knowledgeable, answered my questions with confidence, and offered recommendations that matched my preferences without ever making me feel pressured to buy more. It felt like he genuinely wanted me to leave with something I'd love. The entire boutique reflected that same level of hospitality. Every interaction I observed between the team and other guests was warm, attentive, and professional. It's clear that creating a memorable customer experience is a priority here. Thank you, Noah, for making my visit such a positive one. Your product knowledge and thoughtful recommendations made all the difference. I'll definitely be back.

I've been a customer for years and was curious about what this meant for one of my favorite stores. Happily, The Container Store has not lost any of its organizational charm. Inventory seems to have lessened a little, but I could still find familiar products and categories. At the time of my visit, there was a 30% off Store-wide sale on all products, except their signature elfa shelving units, I think. That's a pretty good sale for The Container Store! I also found a 60% off section and a Clearance 70% off area in the far back corner of the store. I ended up buying a collapsible hamper bag for only $8.79. Did I see a presence of Bed Bath & Beyond? Besides the signage on the automatic sliding front glass doors, perhaps a little bit, but not enough to recall. Maybe some furniture and sheets? I dunno. Customer service has always been friendly, helpful and available. Will I return? You betcha!

This was poorly handled, they should have honored the posted sign. As a result, we left unhappy with a foul taste and will probably not go back, going to Santana Row is already a hassle with having to pay for parking.
