We were thrilled to have our wedding at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa! Meeting the Director of…read moreCatering & Events was a game-changer, as she shared exclusive vendor information with us. We knew we needed flowers, and there were six florists to choose from. But we wanted to support our local community in Riverside, and The Natural of Things was a local favorite, owned by a mother and daughter. I reached out to the flower shop and spoke with Mandy. After sending her our inspiration wedding flower arrangement photos she was on it with the photos. My wedding was on December 20, 2025, which is winter, so I asked Mandy about spring flowers for my bouquets. I wanted peonies, roses, protea, ranunculus, hanging amaranthus, astilbe, hypericum, snapdragons, antique carnations, variegated ti leaf, nagi leaf, and camellia leaf. All the bouquets would be tied with a magenta silk ribbon, and I would have handles for the maid of honor and bridesmaids. For the groom, best man, groomsmen, and ushers, I wanted like lapel boutonnieres made with coordinating florals and botanicals, tied with a magenta silk ribbon handle. I asked Mandy for a lot, and she assured me she'd do her best to create the flowers for me. Throughout the process, Mandy kept us in the loop with clear communication. As the wedding date approached, she emailed us the proposal for our review. It was an impressive proposal, detailing the expected average weather temperature: 68 degrees (high) and 46 degrees (low) in December, along with the floral lists. It was so detailed and organized, it was amazing! On our wedding day, we arranged for the flowers to be delivered to our home. We met with Mandy and Dawn who were absolutely wonderful! They took the time to show us how to pin the lapel boutonnieres on our jackets. Plus, they were so careful to keep all the flowers in a separate vase of water. Dawn explained how I should hold my bouquets, and I have to say, my bouquets were heavy with all the beautiful magenta flowers and their lovely fragrance. When I handed out the flowers to my maid-of-honor and bridesmaids, they couldn't believe how beautiful they were--and the groom, best man, groomsmen, and ushers were just as impressed. Thank you both for your passion for designing floral arrangements!

You can tell she truly cares about the details and making the experience special. If you're planning a big event and want someone reliable, creative, and professional, she is 100% worth it.

I recently received a floral bouquet sent by my husband for Valentine's Day February 14, 2026;…read moreunfortunately, both my husband and I were sadly disappointed in the selections and the bouquet that was delivered, which looked more like a "get well" bouquet than anything romantic for Valentine's Day. My husband stated that the bouquet was supposed to have included an elegant arrangement of pastel roses which it DID NOT INCLUDE 1 rose; instead hideous carnations. I feel my husband was taken advantage of' as he ordered by phone and was not sent a picture of the bouquet delivered. He is an OTR trucker who was unable to be home to celebrate the holiday; but made an effort to show a kind gesture. We did not appreciate the quality or inappropriate selection of cheap sun flowers and carnations; nor do we think the value aligned with its price point. VERY DISAPPOINTING. Based on other customers photos along with my own, this florist's flower preference is sun flowers no matter the occasion. We will not be ordering flowers from this florist again, maybe even re-gifting these to a hospital patient to brighten their day.

Their prices are so good, I am a penny pincher- but they always have something available for many ranges of price points that are worth the money. The last little bouquet I had originally bought for a gift but things fell through and I kept them. Watching the flowers bloom over thanksgiving weekend was the highlight of the holiday for me! Lastly, the sweet young lady behind the counter is so nice and always so welcoming! I have taken them empty vases because who needs a many and it's wonderful to recycle them again. I truly love this shop! Oh and last year we needed gift baskets for raffles for our company and they had those all made up and gorgeous as well- saving me time and making me look good at work! That's what they do

I came into the flower shop not exactly knowing what to get except that I had to get flowers for my date. The two lovely ladies in there immediately understood the assignment and gave me a quick thorough description of each kind of flower/flower arrangement and also took into consideration my preference. Not only that, they helped calm my nerves by asking me about my date and her likes and where I was taking her. They seemed more excited putting the flowers together than I was! In the end they exceeded my expectations 10 folds! Their hospitality, kindness and attention to detail blew my mind. Definitely coming back as the flowers were a hit!! Thank you ladies!

I'm in northern California. My granddaugher is in southern California at UC Riverside. Being an old school guy, I needed to know whom I was dealing with & online didn't do it, especially considering the long distance. I called, spoke with Tamara, told her that I was online looking at the Nature's Bliss arrangement and discussed my options. She and the florist told me what worked best. I confirmed that they delivered to the residence halls at UCR, that delivery would be made that day, and that they understood the delivery procedures for the UCR residence halls. I added a cute Teddy Bear to my order. Tamara was professional, courteous, and made sure all my needs were met. They exceeded my expectations! My granddaughter was totally surprised and overjoyed. The Nature's Bliss arrangement was way better than what was shown in the pic on their website. Even the Teddy Bear was larger than expected. It's been my granddaughter's constant companion. See pics below. Cost-wise, I definitely got my money's worth.

Since my fiance is a computer scientist and I'm a chemist working with semiconductors, we requested unique table signs with elemental symbols of Group III-V elements and other semiconductor elements. After some email exchanges, Lauren quickly designed the table signs (as requested). We weren't as particular with our other signs, so those contained floral decor reminiscent of our plum and ivory color scheme. She even enlarged our welcome sign from 8.5" x 11" to 20"x30" with a $20 charge so that we can print them at Walmart ourselves. Thanks, Lauren!
