My wife recently hired Cary to arrange the bouquets for her and her 8 bridesmaids. We absolutely…read moreloved her work, and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a florist. The flowers were in perfect bloom, looked fresh, and smelled wonderful. Cary went above and beyond to bringing my wife's vision to life for our wedding. My wife shared a picture of a bouquet design that she liked, and asked Cary to use a color scheme that matched the theme of our wedding. Cary picked just the right colors and we immediately fell in love with all the bouquets. Cary was always friendly and responded in a timely manner; whether it was an email or a phone call. Thank you so much Cary! Barbara and I loved your work, and fully endorse you to all our fellow yelpers/yelp-lurkers out there!

I wanted decoration for my gift table & cake table also, but I did not know what exactly I wanted. Cary helped me out & decorated the tables matching my wedding theme so well. Customer service was awesome-- efficient communication thru emails & phones. Reasonable pricing too!!

Momo is not only doing amazing floral design but she's also such a kind person. It was truly an…read morehonor to work with her for our small wedding. She created a few arrangements, my bouquet and my husband's boutonnieres. A few days before the event I called her to tell I don't have a bouquet. She not only created a beautiful bouquet, she also did 2 boutonnieres for my husband (even if I didn't asked for them) and delivered them to our house. Not to mention that was right before Valentine's Day so my request for the bouquet came very, very late.

I apologize for mistakenly giving a wrong # so you couldn't text her beforehand, and I am so grateful that you immediately tried to reach me, and when you couldn't, you used good judgment and delivered them anyway. This way she got the arrangement on her day. Thank you so much, it means a lot to me (and to her). The teddy bear is also sweet, and something she can keep. Thank you, Plaza Floral! So happy I could shop local, too.

We've been using Granara's for a few years now and they do a wonderful job. The flowers are…read moreconsistently fresh and beautiful, and the arrangements are really impressive. I think that another thing to call out is how they handle things if something goes wrong. Recently, there was a delivery date mixup and an arrangement was delivered a day early. I called Granara's and the manager drove over himself to pick them up before my wife saw them. They delivered an even nicer arrangement the next day. I contrast this with a florist we used to deliver flowers to relatives out of state. The flowers never arrived, and the shop owner fought it, didn't help at all, and I finally had to get a credit card refund. Today I had a large, mixed arrangement delivered. Ordering something other than roses really highlights how impressive a job Granara's does. The mix of orchids and other flowers really pops - totally worth the money! Granara's delivers top quality arrangements with great service, support, and delivery. I've used others in the area and no one else comes close.

The staff is so friendly, knowledgable, and helpful! They have the cutest gifts, whether you're looking for a housewarming gift, new baby gift, work secret santa, birthday, etc. This shop is sort of hidden -- a hidden gem -- behind the Carlmont Shopping Center, but it's for the best because they always have enough parking back there. It's a lovely place to walk around, be surrounded by nature, and get inspiration for your own space. My indoor plants and my outside patio have never looked better thanks to Ladera!

They have outdoor and indoor plants available. As I kept walking in, they also have a store inside with random cute things like candles, decorations, jewelry, baby clothes etc. Smelled nice and clean inside. Saw staff taking care of the outdoor plants. So I found a cute plant but when I got to the cashier to pay, I asked if she happens to know or see if they had a bigger version. To my surprise she answered with "what we have out there is what have. Have you seen a bigger a version?" Honey, I wouldn't have asked if I saw one wouldn't I? Kind of disappointed with her reply. But maybe she's new not sure what the situation is. They have plenty of succulents to choose from if you're into them. The prices for the plants were fair.

We were absolutely blown away by our wedding florals. Regina took all of our inspiration, ideas,…read morecolors, and little details and somehow turned them into something even more beautiful than we imagined. Every arrangement felt thoughtful, romantic, and perfectly suited to the setting. Our ceremony florals were stunning against the landscape, the reception centerpieces tied the entire tablescape together, the bar arrangement was gorgeous, and my bouquet was truly one of my favorite details of the entire day. Everything felt cohesive without looking overly matched or repetitive, and the balance of soft whites and greens with the deeper mauve and burgundy accents was exactly what we had hoped for. What impressed us most was how beautifully everything came together in person. The flowers added so much warmth, texture, and personality to the wedding and photographed incredibly well. We received so many compliments from our guests, and looking back at the photos, we are still amazed by how beautiful every floral detail was. We are so grateful to Regina for bringing our vision to life and making the entire day feel that much more special. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, thoughtful wedding florals!

Was wandering in here a few weeks ago needed some retail therapy, and decided to smell their scent selection, smelled this Capri Blue Volcano hand lotion and went to heaven. The smell immediately comforted me, seemed so familiar but I couldn't quite place it. I go home to research (I thought maybe it was the scent of one of my Vegas cainos and thats why i recognized it lol!) and of course - it's the scent Anthropolgie uses in their stores! Addicting and a known universally accepted scent! To the point where a man stopped me on Laurel and said "Ma'am I'm sorry if this comes off wrong but you smell AMAZING" =) (fun fact for single ladies: based on research men really like citrus or vanilla/pumpkin yes pumpkin scents on women and this is mostly citrus with light floral base notes! Isnt that something...). I asked my husband how he Iiked this because he's never been in an Anthropologie or to Shelby's and he applied like 3x to his hands and sat there sniffing them like Molly Shannon in Superstar. What a fun cute store to browse there is all sorts of stuff the owner must hand-pick everything because it's so charming and there is always something new/fun/pretty/cute to buy!
