CLASSIC / BOHO / COASTAL WEDDING VIBES - CHECK! It was the absolute pleasure working with Alona for our wedding floral needs. After vetting 18 floral vendors (yes, 18!!!), Alona came in the strongest and was able to understand our vision the most. She was very easy to talk to on the phone as well as over email. Over the course of almost 14 months of wedding planning, there were times when I had to reach out to her and update our floral count. Alona did not give us a hard time about the updates at all or make it seem as if she was annoyed, unlike how other florists were while I was just vetting them! Our floral vibes were to be basically all white roses, baby's breath, with some boho touches to the arrangements. My initial bridal bouquet incorporated white roses and a few orchids. The biggest painpoint for us was having to lock in the best deal despite how many boutonnieres and corsages we needed for our larger (FIlipino traditional) wedding. Not only did Alona come in the closest to our floral budget, on the day of the wedding, she surprised me with absolutely beautiful touches of white peonies and carnations to my bouquet at no additional cost! Additionally, the bouquets for each of the tables as well as on our wedding cake were full and fresh looking. All of our guests complimented how beautiful the flowers were and wanted to take an arrangement home! I cannot recommend Alona enough for your wedding florals. Wedding planning is already super stressful. Make it less stressful by partnering with Alona and her team! read more

I wish I had a better review to write as Alona was great to work with in the beginning. Unfortunately, the area I was most disappointed on my wedding day was the florals. I was very specific about my floral vision and discussed in detail with Alona several times on what I wanted. Specifically for reception, the most important floral element for me was the sweetheart table. We discussed repurposing the ceremony florals to create a full, circular arch behind the sweetheart table with additional florals around the base of the table. She had assured me we would have enough florals from the ceremony to repurpose to not only the sweetheart table, but also the welcome table/bar/cake table as well. I even bought more florals for the ceremony arch to achieve this sweetheart table vision. However, this is not what we received. On the day of the wedding, Alona's team told us the start of our reception needed to be delayed by approximately 30 minutes because they were still working on the reception florals. We waited to seat our guests because we wanted to give them the time they needed to finish. Despite the delay, the sweetheart table installation was still extremely sparse and looked unfinished. The arch behind us was mostly bare and there were only two floral arrangements on the ground. I have attached the inspiration pic we discussed and the final result. I was mortified when I saw it - it looked so bare and incomplete. Additionally, this delay threw off the rest of our reception timeline. Dinner had to be shortened so we ended up having to skip "table touching", which was something we had really been looking forward to. I was very sad and disappointed when I walked into the reception because the sweetheart table was one of the elements we had discussed in detail as I cared a lot about it. The ceremony arch had a significant amount of florals, so I am still confused about what happened during the repurposing process. I am confused where the ceremony arch flowers went, since they don't appear to have been used to create the sweetheart table installation nor were there any flowers at the bar, cake table, or welcome table. I reached out to Alona after the wedding to understand what happened. It has now been almost three weeks without a response. I would have appreciated the courtesy of at least an explanation. Paying 5 figures for florals to have the sweetheart table look like this is incredibly disappointing. When I look back at my reception photos, I get upset with how bad and bare it looked. Don't even get me started on the ceiling florals that started to fall during the reception. I highly do not recommend Chic Flowers. read more

Unreliable, unprofessional, and disappointing. I was excited to work with Alona based on her previous reviews and beautiful portfolio. Unfortunately, her communication from the start was spotty at best and required excessive prompting on my end. She repeatedly promised quotes and proposals by specific dates and failed to follow through. While I understand that wedding season is busy, this does not excuse consistently poor communication and lack of follow-through when working with clients who are planning such important events. To illustrate, here's a brief timeline: 5/28: Alona emails me in response to an inquiry submitted to her website, asking when I'll be available for a phone consultation. I reply same-day with my availability. 6/8: No response; I follow up. 6/9: She offers a phone consultation for 6/10. 6/10: Phone consultation; she promises a proposal by the next day. 6/12: No proposal; I follow up. She promises to send by 6/13. 6/16: Still nothing; I follow up again. 6/17: Finally receive a proposal. 6/19 - 6/22: Back-and-forth revisions; budget and design issues arise. 6/24: I follow up via phone and text after no response. Still no reply as of 7/2. In the end, I chose to move forward with another florist whose communication, professionalism, and enthusiasm gave me far more peace of mind. I firmly do not recommend working with Alona if you value reliability and clear communication during your wedding planning process. read more

Incredible florals, Chic Flowers team was flawless they were very professional everything was on time. My guests were speechless, until today we received compliments on how beautiful the flowers were. Thank you Chic Flowers highly recommend! read more

I'm so disappointed by this vendor. The first interactions went well enough. Got a quote a year+ prior to my wedding and Alona was kind and responsive. As the date neared, I wanted to update her to let her know that we would be needing fewer items as our actual guest count was lower than expected. She proceeded to respond saying that because I changed from the original quote that she would need to "update the pricing," which included essentially doubling the cost of the flowers from the original quote. When I asked if I could just go back to the original quote, she refused, saying that the costs had increased because of COVID. COVID affected businesses and costs. I can accept that. But, it was the fact that she used this excuse to double the price one week before the final payment was due was unacceptable. She told me I was free to find another vendor to provide the flowers. But with only less than a couple months before my wedding, she essentially knew that would be impossible. If she had simply communicated this increase with more advanced notice, it probably would have been fine and we would have still kept her on as our florist. But because she didn't, it seemed like she was just waiting for any excuse to up the prices and would have done it with even LESS notice, had I not tried to update the items when I did. Super unprofessional and seemingly underhanded. I ended up staying with her because there was no time to find an alternative. And on top of the price increase, the centerpieces provided were not correct according to what we had discussed. read more

I absolutely loved the bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces that Alona and Chic Flowers created for my wedding. Alona went above and beyond my vision for a tropical but minimalist wedding. Unlike other florists who I had met with who were really pushing for expensive arrangements that were not at all what I had described, Alona really listened to what I wanted, what my budget was, and what my logistical needs were. She perfectly blended my vision with her personal style. And she was so sweet and accommodating! We met via phone calls and FaceTime a few times before the big day since I couldn't make the drive up to her studio in Encinitas. She was very responsive via email and updated the proposal several times as needed. She even made a mock centerpiece arrangement the month before my wedding so that I could see what the flowers would generally look like. We also requested delivery service, which made it so simple and stress-free for us. She dropped off the personals at two different houses where my husband and I were getting ready before setting up the reception venue, which was at another location. Long story short: I highly recommend Chic Flowers! read more

My daughter's wedding was in October, at Rancho Valencia Resort and the flowers, personally and lovingly, created by Alona were ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! Alona went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. From the gorgeous double arch and the arrangements down the aisle to the brides bouquet, the flowers were AMAZING! I had many people comment , that the flowers were the prettiest they had ever seen. Alona is a lovely and honest person to work with and I could not have been more pleased. Thank you so much, Alona! read more

Please read if you are not in the SD area & considering Chic Flowers/Alona for your wedding! The short version- Chic Flowers charged us $2,000 for mandap/gazebo florals, 8 centerpieces, cake flowers, & aisle flowers-but delivered the tiniest saddest centerpieces where the floral foam was still visible. (I have included pictures of all that we were provided & I honestly do not feel it was worth $2,000 but please, correct me if I'm wrong.) My husband and I feel disappointed, & honestly kind of ripped-off. The centerpieces provided really ruined the vision I had for my wedding reception. Alona was also not the easiest to communicate with and get examples of what exactly we'd be provided in lieu of an in person consultation. The long version- Alona is based in the San Diego area & my wedding was in Orange County. I really liked her work that I saw on her Instagram so after speaking with her as well as other local florists, I chose to go with Chic Flowers despite not having an in person consultation or seeing a sample of what she would be doing for us in person (which was definitely my mistake). I did however ask her multiple times over the phone & on text to send me an example of what our centerpieces will look like so I know what size & how full they're going to be. She sent me something that looks nothing like what she delivered. My wedding was originally scheduled for Aug 2021, due to Covid we had to reschedule for Feb 2022. Initially (before we paid/signed anything with Alona) she was really communicative and assured us that we would get exactly what we asked for in terms of florals. She also accommodated our postponement and moved our deposit, etc over. 2 months prior to our wedding I sent her an email confirming our dates as well as ideas & mentioned that we will be changing our color scheme from red, pink, fuchsia, & coral to red, pink, fuchsia & white. Alona proceeded to tell me that would cost more money, at this point I had paid more than half the total amount owed and hadn't budgeted for an additional cost for florals-which I let her know. She then basically told me I can either pay the additional charge or find a different florist as she won't work on my wedding if its not worth it for her. I agreed as I felt 2 months would have been super short notice for any florist & I really couldn't afford to not have flowers at my wedding. This interaction definitely made me feel uneasy but I figured at least the extra cost would ensure she would show up & provide me with the beautiful, big floral arrangements she promised. I then realized we only had 8 centerpieces for 13 tables (which again was my bad for not noticing sooner) had my wedding coordinator place long stem candle holders with candles on the tables without flowers and figured the lush greenery-filled centerpieces on every alternating table would draw peoples eyes. I was definitely wrong in thinking that. The day of the wedding Alona & her assistant showed up, set up the florals on the mandap (structure used in hindu wedding ceremonies) which to her credit looked great, and were to be transferred to our sweetheart table for the reception. When it came time, she moved the florals to the reception area & set up the centerpieces-which I didn't see until I made my entrance at the reception. I was severely disappointed in the way the centerpieces looked- the size was way smaller than the reference pictures I provided & what we had discussed & they were not full at all, and had no greenery even though Alona ensured me they would be "big and beautiful" with "lots of greenery". You could see the green floral foam when looking at the centerpieces & they just looked tiny and not what we were promised at all. We also were very disappointed in the end by our centerpieces and didn't feel like the florals we received were worth $2,000. I have included the pictures of all the floral aspects of our wedding. The flowers were the only decor in our reception as it was in a ballroom & we didn't want too many elements overpowering its grand scale-but it definitely looked empty & not at all what I envisioned. I definitely feel like this all could have been avoided if I went with a local florist & was more on top of things such as an in person consultation and continually asking to see an exact sample of what we would be getting the day of. I however, also feel Chic Flowers could have been better at communicating, and providing what they promised. Maybe if you're a more local bride Alona is the florist for you, but if you're outside the San Diego area & cannot consult with her in person, I suggest going with someone local to your venue! I'm giving 2 stars because I think 1 star is harsh for any business & I did like our ceremony flowers. read more

I hired Chic Flowers for our wedding back in 2019. We had a couple delays due to COVID but during that time I followed Alona on Instagram and I knew I hired the right person by how passionate about her work she was and I couldn't wait to see my dream come alive. Alona and her team did an amazing job with making that happen. I gave Alona my vision board and she brought it to life. I told her I didn't want too much greenery, my bouquet not too big, and just the right amount of pink and she definitely delivered. I was nervous to see what I would get from just showing pictures but I was blown away. Thank you so much Chic Flowers for all your hard work and dedication you put in to our special day so beautiful! read more

Chic flowers did a fantastic job with the flowers for my husband and my outdoor wedding by the ocean. We are from out of town, so we didn't spend much time with Alona ahead of time -- all of our communication was via email and one phone call. She asked for an idea of our vision (which was a lot of blush and white, farmhouse-style arrangements, a pretty popular style right now). Alona had no problem taking my vague ideas and creating a detailed proposal. The cost she proposed was also lower than the other proposal I had gotten (my budget for flowers was $2k, and we ended up spending about that, plus rentals and candles). I didn't have mocks of anything made, but again I think what I was looking for was pretty popular now, and in line with many of the pictures on her website. We had farmhouse tables that Alona and her team made these beautiful eucalyptus garlands for, with rose arrangements scattered throughout. We were even able to get pillar candles with glass containers from her, which I was stressing out a bit about before. Everything turned out absolutely gorgeous. They also added 2 beautiful arrangements on our hexagonal ceremony arch. Our personals were delivered to a location about 15 minutes from the venue for first look photos without any problems. Thanks so much to Alona and her team for making our wedding so lush and beautiful! read more

Alona recently did the florals for my wedding and I highly recommend. We met three times before the wedding to ensure that she understood my vision and she sure did execute it on wedding day! I'm still getting compliments from guests on how they thought the flowers were fake because of how beautiful they were. Some of the orchids she used in our arrangements are still alive after almost two weeks too! Alona is truly passionate about delivering her clients' wants and needs. If you're looking for a wedding florist, go see Alona! She is also very reasonably priced! I can't wait to use her again in the future. read more

My husband and I were married in April 2022 and hired Alona for our wedding day. Best decision ever! We booked her maybe a year before our wedding and since then she was always very communicative. There were other florists we had in mind when doing our research but ultimately did not choose them because communication was a BIG issue for us. Being that our wedding was about a year out, we had some changes in concept and she was super accommodating and flexible with us. There was even a last minute design change because of something the venue could not accommodate and she quickly offered us alternative options which turned out great. We felt that the pricing was extremely fair and the pieces photographed beautifully! We just got our photos back and I am in awe of how beautifully everything came together! I wanted full garden vibes for the wedding and even though our reception was tented, she really did an amazing job at bringing that concept into the tent and making us feel surrounded by beauty and nature. I am so incredibly happy with her work that I waited until we had our photos to post a review, highly recommend booking her! read more

I am so glad to have found Alona to do our flowers for our big day. She is a true sweetheart and made our wedding beautiful with all of her work. Alona was professional, accommodating, and was very responsive in the time I got to work with her. We were able to meet at the Floral trade center a month prior to my wedding so she could show me what was in bloom to get an idea of what she planned to do for the wedding and to finalize and verify all of the details. She even threw in some last minute roses for our mothers during the ceremony equipped with ribbon! So thoughtful! She did our arch and transferred those flowers to our sweet heart table. She helped arrange and decorate some of the items I had supplied for her, and she was instinctive on what looked good and everything turned out beautifully! Thank you so much Alona! We are so grateful. read more

Alona at Chic Flowers is the absolute best! A very affordable florist. I highly recommend them for your wedding or other floral needs. Alona was extremely friendly and professional to work with, was very responsive, and did an incredible job on our flowers. I had a very tight budget, and was upfront with Alona about what I was looking to spend. She worked with me to use budget-friendly options, but was still able to incorporate my favorite kinds of flowers. Upon our initial interaction, Alona asked me to send her some examples of what I would like my bouquet and boutonnieres to look like. She was immediately able to understand what I was looking for and created a detailed proposal. As we got closer to the wedding, she called to let me know that she may not be able to get some of the flowers we initially agreed upon (peonies) due to short supply and higher cost, asked if I was alright with using different flowers, and offered some great replacement options. I liked that she checked in with me on those details. She was also flexible with small last minute changes (for example, my fiance asked if he could add a succulent to his boutonniere). Alona was very responsive to these requests and everything turned out exactly as I had asked. Alona was also so helpful with my centerpieces. I was planning to do them myself, but she said she would do them for a very reasonable cost, and would also bring all of them to the venue and set them up for me. After doing some research I realized it would have been more expensive for me to do them myself, and definitely more stressful! She made them more beautiful then I could have ever done - everyone at the wedding raved about them and were excited to take them home! Alona always had my budget in mind and never tried to sell me on something she knew I didn't need. I really appreciated that as a bride - for anyone who is planning a wedding, you know that most vendors here the word "wedding" and immediately try to take advantage and upsell you on just about everything. Alona wasn't this way, and even made us a beautiful garland for our sweetheart table out of extra eucalyptus she had - at no extra charge. Everything, from the bouquet to the centerpieces, were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned. Definitely consider using Chic Flowers - Alona is incredible to work with, is a truly talented florist, and I am so grateful for all of her help and hard work to help make our wedding a success. read more

Chic Flowers was an absolute wedding lifesaver! My husband and I unfortunately had our original florist who we booked over a year ago cancel on us due to the pandemic. We had to scramble a couple weeks away from the wedding to find a new florist. Alona and Chic Flowers were a Godsend! Alona was very quick to respond to my emails and drafted up a very nice proposal based on what I told her I was looking for. She was spot on and we ended up arranging a meeting with her to go over specific details to finalize the contract. She was the most sweetest person and we got to meet her beautiful family during the meeting. Alona has been so easy to work with and the price for her flower arrangements were so affordable. She was able to create this beautiful flower arrangement for our wedding alter which was then used later for our sweetheart table. The bouquets all turned out perfect and I could not have pictured them any differently from what I wanted. It was an overall amazing experience to work with Alona and Chic Flowers!

I highly recommend choosing Chic Flowers for your floral design needs for any occasion! Upon meeting Alona, I knew that I could entrust my wedding flowers to her. She has an eye for floral design that incorporates classic beauty and modern flair, and I knew that she would carefully curate each piece as though it was her own wedding. During my first meeting, I simply listed off a few of the items that I'd need without any specific direction or flowers (I am not that well versed in that area). Alona immediately began recommending certain flowers that fit my vision and I was amazed at how quickly she could picture each piece! After I booked with her, we met again to view other sample bouquets and I knew that I made the absolute right choice. Not only is Alona incredibly sweet, she is also patient. I needed multiple adjustments and she was gracious about every change I requested along the way. Another highlight - she uses a wide variety of high quality local flowers to craft her pieces. All of my wedding flowers were fresh, beautiful, and exceeded expectations! read more

What an amazing experience working with Alona. I am beyond thrilled that I found her and chose to work with her. I planned my wedding from Chicago, so you can imagine the stresses with that. But, after sending her a few photos of what I want she knew exactly what ambience I was going for. I flew into Carlsbad and met her at the wholesale flower shop to pick out colors and some flowers I really like. She went far and beyond! The day of our wedding, she brought our bridal bouquets to my suite and I wanted to add a little more greenery. She said no problem. Left and came back with exactly what I envisioned. It was perfect. My wedding consisted of 22 tables and 250 people. EVERYONE raved about the flowers! Our floral arch was soooo pretty! I wanted to take it home with me. Everyone actually took some flowers home because they loved them so much. Alona and her staff were very very efficient with time as well. They had to break down the arch, bring it to another venue 10 mins away, and set it up before our reception started. Needless to say, it was done in time and everything was perfect. Flowers are very fresh and beautiful! Alona is amazing and I would highly recommend her as your florist. I would say you are making a mistake if you do not hire her. Thanks Alona and Chic Flowers for all of your hard work and dedication that day. Our wedding was a dream come true! read more

I am so heartbroken. I was prepared to write a raving review but unfortunately, this is not it. As this is a platform for clients and vendors alike, I feel it is my responsibility to share this unhappy experience as I would hate for this to happen to other couples on their wedding day. We hired Chic Flowers February of this year for our October wedding. I had multiple lovely conversations with Alona and together we designed gorgeous flowers for the day. My wedding coordinators took over correspondence a month prior to the wedding. They provided her with several revisions to the day of timeline, each with our venue's name and address. They also confirmed the service with her days leading up to the wedding. Unfortunately, Alona NO-SHOWED on the wedding day. She emailed me the next day stating her team went to the incorrect venue, however, there is no venue called "The Hacienda" in San Diego and even if there were, the florist and her team had the venue name and venue address noted at the top of their own contract. Separately, when my coordinators called her, they said it sounded like she was at home and there was clearly a child you could hear in the background. When they asked her if she forgot that she was obligated to deliver the flowers to a wedding that day she admitted that she did forget. While her work is gorgeous we simply caution you not to hire her to deliver outside of San Diego, even though that is a service offered and we happily paid for. While we did get a refund we were without flowers of any kind on the day. read more

Chic Flowers did an amazing job with our flower arrangements for our (same-sex) wedding. Alona listened to our concerns and took our request in terms of color, style, and overall theme. After a few emails with pictures and ideas, we met with her at her studio and continued the planning process. The price was affordable and paid through Venmo. On the day of our wedding, they were quick to set up and breakdown after the wedding. We highly recommend Chic Flowers to anyone in need of flower arrangements. Did I mention they're gay friendly? :) THANK YOU ALONA! read more

See all

Alona is one of the best at taking your vision for florals, design of a space, and an overall vibe you wish for your wedding and turning that into reality on the big day. Highly recommend Chic Flowers not only because of her ability to create stunning floral displays, but also because she provides enthusiastic, dependable, and experienced service to the wedding planning process, all at a reasonable price. When we were looking for florists, we had a very specific vision for how we wanted the event to look and feel but didn't know how to translate it into a concept. A lot of florists we spoke to either had their own vision for our wedding or didn't want to be as hands-on in the design process. From the very beginning, Alona took our ideas seriously and was able to provide very thoughtful touches and the expertise that we needed that helped us create an experience that left the guests in awe from the moment they walked in. Alona went above and beyond to make sure everything looked beautiful the day of, from having in person meetings with us to walkthroughs of the venue to make sure everything would be perfect, including building a custom chandelier for the entryway of our venue. She was very patient with us and even dug deep into her floral knowledge to help us create arrangements that would be stunning, unique, and would amplify our overall vibe and design. In the end, on our wedding day, she completely transformed the space at the Lane and we are very grateful for her skill. Highly recommend Chic Flowers if you want an experienced florist who is able to create stunning designs and will work with you to ensure it is exactly as you envisioned. read more
