Not from the area and was researching flower shops close by to recipient. I was looking for a place I could order from longterm. I stumbled on Dream Flowers here on Yelp after looking at many others, but ultimately decided on this one based on the designs, quality, Instagram posts, and reviews. I ordered online last year and asked for something elegant for a birthday. I didn't know what to expect as I chose up to the florist and whatever is in season. The recipient really liked her flowers and was thoroughly surprised. It lasted quite a while. I'm sure it looked more beautiful in person. I plan to order again this year. read more

A Tender Spring Masterpiece for the Most Important Person I've been turning to Dream Flowers for several years now for special occasions, and every time Lana and her wonderful team exceed my expectations. This time, they created a breathtaking bouquet for my amazing wife's birthday. The bouquet turned out exactly as I had envisioned -- incredibly tender, spring-like, full of light and love. Soft pastel tones of white, cream, blush pink, pale yellow, and warm peach, with lush peonies, ranunculus, tulips, hydrangeas, and delicate greenery. It perfectly captured my wife's personality and the way I feel about her -- with warmth, admiration, and deep affection. When she saw it, her eyes literally lit up with joy! Lana is a true professional and a very insightful person. She always understands exactly what you need, even if you just say "something very soft and springy." She works only with the freshest and most interesting flowers, and her compositions are always unique and unlike anything else. These aren't just flowers -- they are true works of art. Thank you so much to Lana and the entire Dream Flowers team! You make special moments even more magical. I will definitely keep coming back again and again Oleg Dimov San Leandro, California read more

I ordered from this place about a week ago to surprise my mother in the hospital with a bouquet of assorted flowers. I wasn't really sure what arrangement to choose at first, especially since none of the options immediately stood out to me. When I called, Lana answered--and I was pleasantly surprised. She was polite, welcoming, and genuinely kind. She asked thoughtful questions about my mother, like what scents and colors she likes, and used her expertise to guide me toward the perfect arrangement. Thanks to her help, the final result was beautiful--and most importantly, my mother absolutely loved it. While the prices are on the higher side (and of course we all wish they were a bit lower), you can really see the attention to detail and the passion behind the work. It shows in both the arrangement itself and the delivery. Overall, Dream Flowers is a beautiful boutique with excellent service. I just wish there were a few more options to choose from. read more

Update 3/16 ** Lana did reach out shortly after this was posted & presented us with the proposal. I understand that she was busy, but as a business owner, she should have reached out to me if she was unable to present the proposal in the estimated timeframe given. I even had my first meeting / call with her while at the emergency vet with my dog who almost died. So, this was important to me. I do appreciate that she tried her best to make amends & the proposal was very well done. ** Lana seemed really nice when we did a discovery call (initial consultation) was told I'll hear back but never did. It's two weeks now and never got a proposal or heard back from her and her team. I'm 5 months out from my wedding and she asked me if something happened since I didn't have a florist booked yet. Yes, I was slightly caught off guard, but honestly sometimes life just gets in the way. Really like how organized she is with her brochure and transparent pricing & her work looks beautiful. However, being ghosted by a vendor is concerning. read more

Great service, amazing unlimited selection and amazing value for what you get when it's all said and done. I for sure will use this service again to support such an amazing small business'. read more

Dream Flowers - An arrangement that didn't look like any that were offered. A unique piece by an excellent arrangement artist. - Florists Near Me - San Leandro, California

I'm 10 days out from my wedding and I needed to give an updated review on Lana and her team at dream flowers. From consult to wedding day Lana was a dream to work with. In the beginning she asks what your vision and budget is and gives you several options to choose from on different price ranges. I personally chose the middle tier option and everything still came out magical. Lana is an expert in her field but so easy to work with. She checks in and makes sure I give my opinion throughout the process but I trusted her completely! She has several strategies to make things beautiful without breaking the bank. She's easy to get a hold of when I have questions which really eased my stress levels during the wedding planning process. So many of my guests commented on how beautiful the arrangements were and I was so happy they enjoyed it as much as I did. Will continue to use Lana for my floral needs! read more

Working with Lana for our wedding was a dream. Right from the start she was proactive in understanding what we wanted and making sure that it could be done. She took the time to visit the location, put together a suggested floor plan, and create a proposal that included a color palette, inspirations, and details of what we requested. Throughout the planning phase, she was engaged and met with us several times. On the day of the wedding, she was there with two helpers to put together the flower arch and guide them on what to do. She listened to what we wanted and made suggestions on what would work best based on her experience. For example, when we told her that we wanted to paint glass jars, she warned us to make sure it was done correctly to allow for condensation because bubbling could occur and ruin the vase. She also makes things just right. I requested a hair piece, and my hair dresser complimented on how it was the perfect size (another hair piece she worked with earlier that week was too big and she needed to cut it) and how easy it was to place into my hair. We wanted an assortment of flowers that were in season at the time of the wedding and created a more organic feel, and she delivered. All the flowers looked amazing, and I loved the mix. Overall, it was a great experience working with Lana, and we would recommend her to anyone looking to trust someone to take care of the flowers for their event. Thank you, Lana and the Dream Flowers team! read more

My husband and I had the privilege of working with Dream Flowers for our wedding and we were so happy with how beautiful our wedding florals were! Throughout the entire planning process we worked with Lana and she is absolutely amazing! She is so patient, friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about all things flowers! Lana made the entire process stress free and easy! We spoke on the phone multiple times about the vision I had for my wedding flowers and going through wedding day logistics such as delivery and set up. The day of the wedding she delivered our wedding florals to our hotel room and then set up all of the flowers at our reception venue. I provided Lana with plenty of inspiration pictures and she did an excellent job recreating the photos and bringing my vision to life! Our wedding florals were so beautiful and we received so many compliments on them. I couldn't be happier!! Book with Dream Flowers and work with Lana, you will not regret it!!! read more

Working with Lana was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the very beginning, she made the planning process so easy with her warm communication and clear guidance. I had a vision of a whimsical, fairytale-like wedding, and she brought it to life more beautifully than I could have imagined. Everything looked magical from our sweetheart circle arch to the florals on our cake, and she thoughtfully repurposed arrangements throughout the day so nothing went to waste. We received endless compliments from our guests, many of whom said the wedding looked like it must have cost a fortune in flowers, when in reality it was Lana's incredible talent and generosity that made everything look so lush and enchanting. You can truly tell she has a deep passion for her work, which shines through in every thoughtful detail. I especially loved the many elegant candles she incorporated into our centerpieces--they added such a romantic, timeless glow to the evening. She went above and beyond in every way, and I can't thank her enough for making our wedding day feel like a dream. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any bride looking for a florist who is not only creative and skilled, but also genuinely cares about making your day as magical as possible. read more

My father passed away in October and my family was planning a funeral only a few days after his passing, so I needed to find a florist urgently. Given the loss and the many things I would be responsible for, I didn't want to have to worry about the reliability of the flowers. I needed to be sure that the flowers were fresh, beautifully arranged, and most importantly, delivered on time and to the right venue. With this perspective in-mind, I searched online for a florist in the San Leandro area with great reviews, when I came across Dream Flowers. I reached out to the owner/florist, Lana, and arranged for my brother and sister-in-law to go meet with her, since I don't live in the Bay Area. During their meeting, I remained on FaceTime to hear more about her services and ask my questions. Lana was amazing! She was honest, realistic, and willing to explore our individual hopes for our arrangements. She was very generous with her time and answered all our questions. We decided to go with Dream Flowers for our arrangements and I'm so glad we did! When I arrived at the funeral home, I was so pleased to see my beautiful standing spray delivered and on-display. Lana did an outstanding job! The flowers were fresh, and beautiful. The spray was full and attractive. As I looked at the other arrangements delivered, I saw that most were from Dream. I had several close family members who ordered from ANOTHER florist and were so upset that their flowers were not delivered - I am so glad I didn't face a situation like that on said morning. I am so glad I went with Dream Flowers for my dad's funeral and very grateful to Lana for her talents and services. I wholeheartedly recommend Dream Flowers for your flower needs - you won't be disappointed! read more

A tough week for the family emotionally; My Daughters sent an arrangement from Dream-Flowers to our home here in Heron Bay. BY FAR the most beautiful and artistic flower display we have -ever- received. Each time my Wife and I look at it... we comment about the variety of flowers that were used, their quality, and freshness. This creates a beautiful memory in a time of loss. Many Thanks... read more

My cousin needless to say was ecstatic and the pictures she sent of the arrangement looked perfect. Cannot thank Lana enough for making this happen. She is someone you can trust to make these memorable occasions, well so memorable. read more

Lana and her team were our amazing florists for our wedding day! I luckily found her through tagged photos on Instagram because she did weddings at the venue in the past. Lana understood my vision for the ceremony and reception and everyone was amazed by the wonderful arrangements. Lana was flexible with time and helped me come up with the pieces for each piece of the wedding -- broken arch, mixing short and tall centerpieces, sweetheart table accents. Her prices are also so so so reasonable compared to everywhere else here in the Bay Area for wedding events. read more

Lana was definitely one of my FAVORITE vendors for my wedding! I booked Lana more than a year out from my wedding because I heard she had a better price than a lot of other florists through multiple wedding venues. Over the course of the year we had several phone calls discussing the vision I had and what I had wanted for my wedding. Me being so indecisive, I kept changing what I wanted everytime I saw a new wedding. Lana was so kind and understanding with me regarding all these changes and I really appreciated her patience with me! I think I had changed a lot of the things I had wanted up until maybe the last month before the wedding. The day of, me and my partner were BLOWN AWAY by all the florals. The vision we had discussed had come to life and she executed it PERFECTLY! Multiple guests at my wedding complimented the floral decor and her and her teams work was stunning! I could not be more happy with how everything turned out. She even came up to me and my bridal party to snip away any wilting flowers (it was a very hot day) throughout the day. I could not recommend her enough to everyone and am glad I went with her. Lana and her team are the best!! read more

We have nothing but amazing things to say about Lana. She started with a phone call to learn about what we were looking for. Next, she made a google doc and started finding stock photos of others to make sure we were all on the same page. "this kind of shape, but that kind of color..." this made it really clear, it was an easy way for us to communicate visually about what we were trying to achieve. She offered many of her own great ideas, but also listened carefully and took all the changes we asked. She agreed to make individual place cards for each guest, each mounted on a potted succulent. They were a big hit and all the guests took their plant home. On the day of the wedding she and her team executed beautifully. They followed the Google doc to the letter. They set up a chuppah with amazing floral and succulent arrangements on it. Table centerpieces were on point exactly as discussed. We love you Lana! If we were getting married again we'd hire you. read more

My first time here and won't be my last. Lana was so friendly and fun to work with. She is truly gifted at bringing a creative vision to life. I was looking for a custom arrangement for my sister's birthday party (with a whimsical tea party theme). Lana took the time to talk with me about colors, textures, and different kinds of flowers to include, and after a brief wait, she brought me the beautiful final product. I loved it and so did my sister! Thank you so much! read more

Her planning was so organized and thorough and she designed a beautiful backdrop of the ceremony and reception. The day of was flawless, she made sure the welcome sign, guest table, aisles, chairs, reception tables and cake stand were perfectly adorned with flowers and flower accents.

Lana is an incredible artist and wonderful to work with. My sweet Mom passed away suddenly and I didn't want to celebrate her with the usual drab funerary floral situation - I wanted it to be a floral extravaganza that was reverent and full of life, like she was. Lana was more than up for the task. I sent a (bad) drawing of what I was thinking along with reference photos with color scheme and such. Lana took the info and knocked it out of the park. It meant SO MUCH to me in the midst of all this grief to be able to go that extra mile for my Mom. Partnering with Lana on this project was a delight. The floral display really brought magic to the event and boosted the spirits of everyone there. I got so many comments about how beautiful the flowers were and how magical the event was, which was exactly what it should be for my Mom. I am forever grateful. Oh! And also the display was not outrageously expensive - more than reasonably priced. If you have any event that needs a true artist's touch in the Bay Area, look no further. read more

TL;DR: Lana is unreasonably good at what she does, and if you're looking for floral design for your wedding then you have found what you're looking for. My wife and I hired Lana for our wedding, and we didn't have a particularly clear idea of what we wanted beyond "lighter colors" and "greenery". Lana worked with us to develop a clear vision for how we wanted everything to look, providing much-needed structure, expertise, and guidance to the design process while handling curveballs and ridiculous pie-in-the-sky questions with grace. And although we felt confident about what we'd agreed on, we were stunned when we saw the florals the day of- we couldn't believe they were for us! I caught a bunch of guests lining up to take pictures with the pieces almost like they were tourist attractions, so clearly they were a hit with everyone :) We couldn't be happier with the work Lana did for us, and we'll definitely hire her for future floral needs. read more

If you need a florist don't hesitate to go to Dream Flowers. Lana did such an AMAZING job on a rush delivery. I called for a designer's choice vase arrangement so I didn't know what it was going to look like. We discussed the flower colors, size, price, and card message. Quick, simple, and straight forward. I loved how she didn't want me to think too hard about it because even I didn't really know and she did even better than I could have envisioned. Thank you Lana for making my friend feel special on her birthday! I will definitely use you in the future. read more

Lana absolutely exceeded my expectations! I was talking to our photographer and decided last minute to try and order a bridal bouquet + boutonniere from anywhere that would take us. About 24 hours before we needed them, I called Dream Flowers because the other flower shops I called didn't pick up. Lana asked what I was looking for and said she'd do her best to put it all together for us, but would have to see what she could get at the flower market in the morning. She asked me to send her inspiration pictures and I did just that. I also provided my partner's outfit for the day and let her know which flowers I would prefer more of and which I didn't really care for. She took all of that feedback and assembled the most beautiful bridal bouquet and boutonniere, she added an ivory ribbon to match my dress, a charm to add additional bling, a ribbon to match my partner's suit and tie (with pearl/bridal pins I might add!!!!), and even sent us on the road with a vase with a little water, a safety box for the car ride, and a paper towel to dry the stems when we arrived to our destination! These photos definitely don't do this piece of art justice, but I'm so so happy we had the opportunity to work with Lana to make this happen, we are forever grateful and the flowers turned up in our photos so so nicely, thank you Lana!!! We couldn't imagine going with a better florist!! read more
