A former flower arranger in her long-ago past, she was really touched by this bouquet. It really spoke to her for some reason, and she went on and on about how beautiful it is and how much joy it brought her. Thank you SO MUCH for the care put into the arrangement and for following our request for no strong-smelling blooms (because of her preferences)!

Anita did a fantastic job with our wedding flowers. For our small backyard wedding, I ordered a…read morebridal bouquet, a boutonnière, and a centerpiece. The challenge is that both the groom and I are allergic to a variety of flowers, so we needed the floral arrangements to be limited to the list of "safe" flowers for both of us. Anita more than delivered. She was easy to reach by email and text, we spoke on the phone about what I had in mind, and sent her some inspo pictures and a list of safe and not safe flowers. Anita's arrangements were beautiful, fresh, and just the look I had in mind. And most importantly, everyone was able to enjoy the flowers without allergies. I would recommend Anita to anyone looking for a good florist in the Thousand Oaks area!

She'd wanted to buy her English treats so I went along & bought a chocolate covered honeycomb bar for the first time & it was so yummy & I've never forgotten about it. But I never really remembered the name of the place or if it was still there so I was thrilled today when I realized THIS was the place! The same dear woman is there after allll these years & she's adorable & hospitable & they still have the chocolate covered honeycomb bars! I WILL be back for more of those plus to check out other lovely things. :-)

I didn't really have a clear vision on what I wanted, but at least a rough idea of specific colors. Maria was incredibly helpful with her recommendations, and guiding me through the various options available. She also did not try to push me in any particular direction and gave me the space I needed to make my choices. We exchanged a few emails after our initial meeting to hammer out some other details, and each time, Maria was very gracious in offering up her time and availability, despite it being a very busy season. The day of the wedding, I didn't even have to think about a thing as everything was completely set up while I was getting ready. The flowers all looked beautiful and really added another layer of elegance to our special day. Her years of experience show in how she handles her clients, her knowledge of all things flowers, and the wedding industry in general. I definitely recommend working with her, you will not be disappointed!

Our venue was in the Santa Monica Mountains and we really wanted to highlight the natural beauty of the surroundings. We started reaching out to various vendors for quotes for a relatively simple request - bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres, MOB + MOG flower pieces, aisle markers, flower girl crown, and bud vases. We decided to make our own succulent arrangements as the centerpieces, so it was also important to us that whomever we selected was open to working with that and our style in general. I heard back promptly following my initial outreach to Ooldouz despite it being a busy holiday season and we quickly jumped on a facetime call to discuss our overall plans and direction. I really appreciated that she took the time to connect with me, and her warm energy and thoughtful suggestions let us to our decision to move forward! A lot of elements were still coming together including our color palette, so we ended up reconnecting again a few months later to finalize and once more closer to the day. I understand that this order wasn't the magnitude that most bridal florists may be used to, however I never once felt like that was an issue or that we were an afterthought. On the day of the wedding, she arrived to set up and when I saw the my bouquet, I actually started crying. I couldn't believe how perfect she nailed the direction and how beautiful the flowers and colors were. Absolutely stunning. We received so many compliments and we were truly in awe with how beautifully everything fit together. The flowers, color choices, and arrangement style enhanced the natural beauty of our venue and contrasted in lovely ways in photos. I would hire Ooldouz and The English Garden again in a heartbeat! And I suggest you do as well.

To make matters worse, the corsage completely fell apart before the prom even started. The roses were falling off while we were taking pictures.
