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!

We got so lucky finding Alona! She was such a joy to work with and made the flower planning process so smooth! She turned our ideas into reality and the flower arrangements exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend Alona for ALL of your floral dreams!

Cake flowers

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.

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!

Ok first off, Alona has to be one of the sweetest people I've met. She has such a calm demeanor and you know she has things under control. My wedding flowers were so beautiful and exactly what I described as my vision. Also, it's almost a week later and all my flowers are still alive! 100% would recommend Alona and Chic Flowers for all your wedding/floral needs. She's the best!

Chic Flowers did an exceptional job doing our florals for our wedding day. When I first saw Alona's work online I knew I needed her florals. She worked with me on ideas and made my boho barn theme florals a reality. She had everything done in a timely manner. Plus her pink van is the cutest to see at the venue. Thank you so much for your amazing work!! I highly recommend!

Eucalyptus garlands with roses and pillar candles, all arranged by Chic flowers

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!

Alona made our vision become a reality and it was breathtaking. We are very particular, perfectionists to fault, and she literally made our dreams come true! We planned our wedding in three months and she was able to make all elements seamless and stress free. I highly recommend her services.

Blair B.

WOW!! We could not be happier with the beautiful flowers that Chic Flowers prepared for our beautiful wedding on March 11, 2022 at La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla! Alona was incredibly kind and patient throughout the entire process (even when I sent her far too many emails) and absolutely nailed my vision with her waterfall arrangements that perfectly complimented the beautiful pacific backdrop at La V. I would highly recommend her to any San Diego bride who is looking for a reasonable florist who will not stop until your flowers are perfect. Thanks again for making our day so special :)

Alona is the definition of true professional! I booked her in July when I lost my florist. Due to COVID I never met her and was a bit worried that she would know my vibe and understand what I was looking for. My wedding planner did all the communicating with her. When it came to my wedding day, I found out that she was literally in the hospital GIVING BIRTH when the flowers showed up!! Talk about dedication!!!!! My florals literally EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!!!!!! Book her now! She is fabulous and extremely talented! You won't regret it!!! I know I didn't! I can't wait to use her again!!

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!

Chic flowers did the floral arrangements for my wedding on 2/29/2020. Alona was super helpful throughout the whole wedding process. She met with us multiple times to make sure she really understood our vision. She kept pictures of all my ideas and really listened to what I wanted. She was always prompt when answering our emails back which relieved a lot of stress for us. Alona and her team went above and beyond what I envisioned and made my dream florals come to life. Would highly recommend her to everyone!

Alona made my wedding flower dreams come true! She understood my vision completely and made everything absolutely gorgeous. She was flexible when I had to change my wedding date and even gave me a replica of my bouquet as a gift when it was lost after the wedding (I want to preserve my bouquet in a frame). Definitely recommend working with Chic Flowers!! Thank you again Alona!

See all

Hire! I can't say enough good things about Vince and his team. Since my very first inquiry, he was…read moreprofessional, timely, helpful and kind. I went to his shop and he showed me all sorts of beautiful flowers. I ultimately chose him for my wedding flowers because he had the best selection and his prices were competitive. I really wanted peonies and even though they were difficult to get he made it happen. He always seemed to say "no problem" and "I can handle it" which is difficult to find. Choosing wedding flowers is stressful but he surpassed my expectations. Thank you Vince!

I called recently hoping to place an order for a lot of flowers for a graduation event. The man who…read moreanswered the phone was extremely rude and dismissive. I don't usually like to leave bad reviews at all but this was really unfortunate. I understand what it's like to have a bad day, but this employee was very rude and wouldn't even let me finish my sentences. :( I've shopped for flowers here before for 2 different weddings and am very familiar with the process. I called to simply see if a vendor sold leis and he replied "it's not a day of thing" (not knowing my event isn't for another month), I know this and understand that, but he didn't give me a chance to place an order and was very unhelpful. He was acting as though everything was very obvious and that my questions were stupid and a waste of his time. I was really dissapointed with this experience and will not be back. :(

Everything until day of delivery was great. Website was easy to navigate as well. I found out via…read moreemail the morning of delivery, that apparently Chula Vista is not within the scope of delivery for the flower shop, as it's too far. This was not indicated at all during the order process so was very off putting to hear day of for a Mother's Day arrangement. I am currently out of state for work and an unknown number was calling my cellphone, it was the delivery driver from a trusted florist that was sublet to take care of my order. The driver was going to deliver to the wrong address even though she read the proper address back to me over the phone. I spent about 10-15 minutes on the phone walking her through finding the location of our home and verified delivery via camera and doorbell. When you're paying a premium price to have something done properly and this is the outcome, it was extremely disappointing. I will not be using four seasons flowers for any special occasion again, big let down on many levels. 5-10-2026: To the owner of the shop that just replied back to my review. I am not sure how much more clear I can make this to you, the CORRECT address was provided and everything was filled out appropriately on my end, I am not understanding why you are harping on the fact that this was an online order, if your operation doesn't have the capacity to accommodate this then don't offer it as a service. There is absolutely NO difference in placing an order in person, over the phone and or online. The "trusted" florist you decided to pawn this order off on still attempted to deliver to the WRONG address. Nothing about this was as a success and I cannot believe you have the audacity in a public platform to try and deflect the way that you are. I spent 10-15 minutes on the phone with an elderly delivery driver explaining to her very kindly, that wherever she was going was not the correct address, I am struggling to understand what about this are you not understanding? I am absolutely flabbergasted that instead of reaching back out in attempt to correct the issues, especially in a review, this is your stance. Your address is irrelevant when you're listed as one of the top rated florists in San Diego, if you didn't know, Chula Vista is 100% part of the city. Adding photos for context, maybe you want to rethink your "trusted" partnership approach. Pretty ridiculous again your take on things. Will NEVER be using your shop again and will be sure to spread the word to friends and family to steer clear of your establishment! Very funny that the florist is claiming this is the first email they received, my first communication to them was not the one they decided to include in their review, don't believe everything you read. The owner is incredibly defensive and does all that she can to deflect and spin any negative review to benefit her operation. Go and check yelp and google and get a kick out of it if you have time. The only thing good that came of this after airing things out publicly was a refund.
