Melody did the florals for my wedding at Mission Ranch, and I couldn't have asked for a better florist. She put together several time-consuming installations, like the greenery on the beams and the chandeliers, as well as the chuppah. She was so easy to work with, and I am so grateful for her patience in responding to all of my email requests (there were quite a few!). From installations to flower selections, she definitely knows what looks best. She has done so many weddings at Mission Ranch, and she definitely knows how to make the already beautiful venue even more stunning. It was so reassuring to work with a florist who already knows the venue extremely well. Melody is incredibly talented, and I knew I was in good hands with her from the get-go. She is very organized and personable, and helped me work within my budget. One of the biggest highlights of the wedding day for me was the flowers. I love looking back on photos, and am still mesmerized by how beautiful the day was, all because of Melody's work and talent. I am so grateful that Melody was the florist for my wedding. Thank you, Melody, for all that you did to make the day so special! read more

What started off as a good experience then went bad real quick but it was too late to cancel Melody as a vendor as she had a large deposit. She said she would give a portion of it back but I doubt it was enough to make sense. Plus, since I showed her pictures and asked if she could do the job and she said yes, I felt that she would do the job correct. I was beyond detailed and had a binder of pictures of the flowers I wanted. I sent pictures to her email after our final meeting to ensure she knew exactly what I wanted. (due to covid we went through 4 wedding plans). In multiple emails her attitude was horrible to me. As a client I felt disrespected and like someone was trying to discipline me for telling her what I wanted. I am a paying customer. I specifically said I didn't want any yellow in my flowers (yellow in my white roses - some white roses have a yellow tint). I wanted mauve roses not purple. I got purple and pink roses. PURPLE AND PINK!! Two colors I absolutely hate. When I saw my flowers at rehearsal, I thought it was a joke and thought it was just a mix up and thought that maybe my mother in law asked her to do something different. My flowers got delivered on the wedding day, mind you Melody didn't even come over to say hello to me - she dropped the flowers and ran. I looked at my wedding planner and cried and said these can't be my flowers. The greenery looked dead. The flowers looked awful and the colors were 100% wrong. I hated my bouquet but had to use it. I had my photographer's assistant try to re do it to make it look better. My bridesmaids were picking out greenery from their bouquets because the flowers looked so bad. She did do 3 large arrangements for dinner which I liked (minus some of the flower colors) but thats all I can say I liked. I hated the flowers so much - we didn't use any flowers in ANY photos. Except me walking down the aisle and my bridesmaids. I didn't want pink and purple flowers in my wedding photos. I asked for a refund but Melody said no. Of course. Didn't think she would say yes. I know COVID had a part in florals and what not, melody did let me know smilax was frozen over - which I had asked another florist and they said they can get it. If Melody would've communicated that hey I went to market and they dont have the colors you want I would've been sad but understood and switched the plan within a couple of hours. I am open to that and understand COVID and Mothers day weekend. I get it but there was NO communication. Honestly a horrible experience in which so much money was spent. I believe the tab was around $4,500.00. Flowers was the one thing I cared about to help set the tone of a soft and romantic wedding and she completely failed to do that as well - had a horrible attitude with me the entire time. Melody can do nice arrangements, dont get me wrong. They were arranged nice but lacked what I asked for. I am a pretty easy going person and I'm matter of fact, and show pictures to confirm what I want so I wont be disappointed. I know there's room for error and I get that, we're human but this was way too much disappointment. Do not hire any florist for a big event without seeing a floral mock up! Huge lesson learned. read more

Wow!! Words can't express my gratitude and appreciation for Melody, and the magic she spun, on my wedding day! I've had the opportunity to work with many vendors over the years in my career, and I can honestly say Melody is THE BEST, BAR NONE! She was knowledgeable, patient and so very kind!! From our initial conversation to the day-of support she went above and beyond! And MY FLOWERS!! I gave Melody full creative freedom to do what she does best and she nailed it!! I asked for bright colored, rustic flowers (I didn't have any specific flowers I wanted) and she created the most beautiful, bright creations I could have ever imagined!! From my bouquet (unreal) to the boutonnières to the table settings--everything was just perfect! Thank you Melody, for making my day more beautiful than I could ever have imagined!! You are amazing and I hope to see you again!! Much love and gratitude! read more

Melody is so good at what she does. I am so glad that we were lucky enough to have her play such BIG part in creating the look and feel of our wedding. She came highly recommended by our venue (Mission Ranch), and she really does know how to make this already beautiful place look even better. When we first met, I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted, and she was very helpful in providing me with options that she knew would suit the setting. As the day got closer, and my ideas got a little clearer, she was wonderful about offering the feedback and suggestions I requested. She really was a huge part of creating the look and feel of the event itself and helped me to make decisions on more than just flowers. I really appreciated that I was able to give her a few favorite flowers and colors (and some to avoid) and then ask that she use her creative license and talent to not only make everything look beautiful, but personalized just for us. I loved everything that she did--and we so did our guests! She was also great about being transparent and flexible about our budget. She is a true professional, oozing with integrity and talent and also has a fun, down-to-earth nature that kept me relaxed and completely confident during the planning process. I really couldn't have asked for anything more! Thanks, Melody, for your BEAUTIFUL work. Pics to come soon! read more

I recently had my wedding and Melody did a great job making my bouquet, the groom's boutonnière as well as reception table center pieces . Flowers are very fresh and holds well through a hot sunny day. Melody is very easy to work with, from the beginning, she listens well and also very flexible, specially I had a quite tight budget, and I changed my mind a few times, but she's always very patient and adopting my ideas, never try to upsale me for any extra, and if you are planning your wedding, cost for flowers is very easily go up. read more

It was a pleasure working with Melody for a Celebration of Life. She was so easy to work with and knew exactly what was needed. The only direction was that I wanted blue and white and she put together the centerpieces, memory table arrangements and cocktail arrangements. Everything was gorgeous! I highly recommend Fleurish and Melody. read more

Alright, it's going to sound like I'm bragging here, but I honestly think I had the most beautiful wedding flowers and bouquet of all time. When I met with Melody, I gave her a general idea of what I was looking for- looser bouquet with pink, ivory, greenery, hints of yellow and burgundy flowers and she created masterpieces. They were absolutely gorgeous and it made our wedding day even more spectacular and beautiful. Melody is kind, dependable, has such an artistic eye and will make your wedding flowers incredible. Thank you, Melody, for your creative talent and helping make our day so special! read more

We are so glad we booked Fleurish Floral Designs for our wedding at Mission Ranch in Carmel. Melody came recommended by our venue, which was a wonderful comfort. She knew the venue well and was familiar with our wedding cake baker as well, which helped tie together my vision for the florals on our wedding day. Melody brought my exact vision to life and I'll forever be grateful. I had specifically requested a flower that was hard to find in the summer, but she made it happen and the bouquets were even more beautiful than I could've dreamed up! You are in great hands if you book Melody for your wedding! read more

Melody did an incredible job with our wedding in June at Mission Ranch. She knew the venue so well that I didn't have to give her any information about what happens the day of. She made the process very stress free, I showed her my pinterest board and she did all the work from there! My bridesmaids were all mismatched colors and she made a bouquets that matched everyone! 100% recommend Melody and Fleurish floral. read more

GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS!!! I really don't know what else to say. Melody and her team and Fleurish made our wedding ceremony at Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley GORGEOUS! Her designs and arrangements really took this beautiful venue over the top. When you have friends fighting for centerpieces and every last bouquet you know you have something really special. Some advice: let Melody know what flowers you like and let her do the rest. You really can't imagine the creative and artistic talent she has until you see it for yourself! I highly, HIGHLY recommend Fleurish! We wouldn't go with anybody else. read more

Fleurish and Melody King did a beautiful job with our wedding in May. We had ongoing communication for 8 months prior to our big day and she understood our vision and delivered everything we requested and surprised us with even more gorgeousness. We mixed roses and Peruvian lilies and wanted feathers added to the bouquets, center pieces and boutinnaires. Feathers are spiritual and had special meaning to my husband. We thought we wanted bamboo, but she politely informed me horsetail was the plant in the photos of ideas I was sending her. Melody went the extra mile by delivering the preserved Gardenia for my hair early in the morning. She also used the bouquet covers my grandmother croucheted, it was a special touch. We looked at a few vendors and made the right choice with Fleurish. read more

Melody arranged the flowers for our wedding, and was absolutely wonderful. We definitely had a budget on flowers, and did not have very definite ideas on what we wanted ("White? And... yellow? Definitely yellow. No hydrangeas! Um... pretty?"), but she made everything look gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. The centerpieces were perfect, the bouquets and boutonnieres were amazing, and she even repurposed the flowers on our ceremony arch to decorate the reception space and save us money. She was perfectly professional from start to finish. I can't recommend her enough! If you're getting married in Monterey or Carmel, definitely use Fleurish! read more

I highly recommend Fleurish for your wedding or event! I first met Melody, the owner, when I worked for an event company in Monterey. I always loved the work she did for the company I worked for and my clients, so when it was my turn to get married, I hired her to do the flowers right away! I sent her some pictures of what I liked, and she sent me a quote very quickly. From booking to the big day, she was very easy to work with. When I saw the bouquets she designed for my bridesmaids and me, I was thrilled. They were exactly what I pictured. She also did boutonnieres for the groom and groomsmen. We went with wreaths with flowers on the guest tables, which turned out perfectly as well. I definitely suggest choosing Fleurish to do your flowers! She always creates unique and creative floral arrangements. read more

We were so lucky to get Melody as our florist for our wedding in October, and several of our other vendors confirmed that luck! I went to her with a few pictures of ideas I had, but nothing solid, mostly colors and a style of arrangement (wild). Since I don't know flower names I couldn't put my vision to words, but all of the arrangements she made were better than I could have imagined! We sent arrangements home with guests and even 2 weeks later I got texts from people who are still exclaiming over them. I'm even drying my bouquet because I just can't toss it! She is very responsive via email and updates changes promptly and sends them electronically for review which is really helpful to a) make sure we're on the same page and b) keep tabs on the budget. It's a little scary (especially for someone who is a big planner and doesn't like surprises!) to not know what the final products will look like (depending on flowers in season and such) but for anyone with the same concerns you don't have to worry with Melody. She creates masterpieces and I couldn't have been happier! read more

I contacted several florist in the Monterey/Carmel area and Melody was the most professional and responsive florist. She answered all my emails promptly and even follow up with me when she knew she could not get back to me immediately. Being an indecisive bride, I changed my colors and idea several times. She was very accommodating each time. Melody did a fabulous job on my flowers and it was everything I had imagined. read more

Fleurish and Melody did an amazing job with the flowers for the rehearsal dinner party we enjoyed. She was remarkable to work with (over the phone) and created the perfect simple but elegant arrangements of white hydrangeas for our November gathering. With her expertise, she was able to give feed back on the recommended size and number of the arrangements based on the table and guest layout. The flowers were fresh and beautiful and her recommendations were spot on! A pleasure to work with. Highly Recommend her for any occasion! read more

I worked with Melody for my wedding in Carmel. BIG ATTITUDE PROBLEM! I think she might be in way over her head! Email or phone, she was always abrasive and impatient, except for the first day we met. She even told me to "wait my turn" in a voicemail she left me. Her work is okay, I've seen better though. For such a special day as your wedding, you want professionals who can handle the stress of wedding season. The day of my wedding I wished that her flowers would be worth her bad attitude, but my bouquet was disappointing and so were the centerpieces... I liked my bridesmaids bouquets though. I really wish I would have worked with someone different. read more

I was one of those brides that was going to use DIY flowers to try and save money. On a whim, I called Melody at Fleurish just to get a quote, and it was one of the best wedding decisions I made! Melody's arrangements are not only budget-friendly, but they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. She is extremely friendly and super professional. She has wonderfully innovative ideas and helped to not only make my flower dreams come true, she provided creative ideas to go above and beyond anything I could have imagined. The flowers were beautiful on my wedding day -- and my mom enjoyed their beauty for a week following! I would highly recommend Fleurish for any and every event. read more

Melody did my wedding in September '11, and it was unimprovable. I was planning my wedding from Los Angeles, and thus didn't get to meet her until my wedding day, but when I did, it was like I had known her for years. She was completely responsive, helpful, and obviously motivated by a love of flowers and artistry. She even very graciously picked up the materials I needed to make my own centerpieces, and offered them to me at cost. That was so far beyond the call of duty! To go even farther, she also brought me all the extra orchid blossoms from the bouquet making, which allowed me to scatter fresh blooms everywhere. Absolutely the best you can get in the area! read more

Melody was our florist for our wedding in Carmel (Jul 2013). The results were gorgeous and it was great having a true artist do our flowers. An expert in her field, Melody has a deep knowledge of flowers, is able to name them by image and provide information like their seasons/availability. Due to distance, we communicated almost 100% by email, and her expertise was obvious because for every image I sent her to review, she responded thoughtfully with names/types of flowers and her professional opinion. Because my ideas and colors were all over the place, it was a moving target for Melody and through numerous emails we reviewed all the options and possible substitutions (since I was not adverse to any particular flower). The challenge for me was to digest all that information into something I could make a decision with and I had to utilize Google Images quite often! Although I didn't seem to know what I wanted, Melody impressed me tremendously with the accuracy of her creations matching the ideas in my head. She really knows her stuff! There was no question from day one that Melody took her work very seriously and the quality of her productions would be exceptional. She has the sharpness of someone who knows their stuff inside-out and the confidence that her work speaks for itself. Communicating by email can be challenging as sometimes the tone can be misinterpreted, especially for subjects that are very important to the writer, but this is controlled with dedication to the work. Our flowers were beautiful and all our guests commented on how lovely the wedding was. This could not have been possible without the work of people like Melody. read more

Melody is an amazing florist with the best flowers available. I found her online as I was researching people for my destination wedding in Carmel, Ca. I gave her a color scheme and a basic idea and she ran with it. She made the most insanely beautiful arrangments and my boquet was exactly what I wanted/. I got married on 10/20/12 and one of the arrangments is still alive. I would reccomend her for any of anyones floral needs. Great service!!! read more

Even though Melody worked with me on my budget and did what I requested, she did not deliver the day of my wedding. I've never been so disappointed in my life with the flowers I had on my wedding day! Even everyone at my wedding said the flowers were cheap, not put together right, and most importantly DEAD! I mean I still don't understand how and why she did a terrible job when I even made a pin board on Pinterest for her and talk to her multiple times on what I wanted..I would NEVER recommend her and I hope she never does this to anyone else!!!! read more

Melody truly blew us away with her flowers for our wedding. At first we were going to nix having flowers at our wedding since we wanted to keep within a certain budget but as the day approached we thought our special day would look extremely blah if we didn't have some flowers. We initially were only going to go with flowers for the arch and maybe a bouquet but as soon as we met with Melody she asked us questions about our color theme and she instantly had a vision of what my wife's bouquet was going to look like. We even made last minute decisions on having our girls walk with smaller bouquets, added a flower for my wife's hair, a boutonniere for myself, rose petals for the aisle, and ribbon decorations for the chairs (so much for our budget...it was SO worth it though). The flowers for our wedding were amazing! If anyone is having a wedding in the Monterey area, I definitely recommend Fleurish. Thank you so much Melody! Vanessa and Rosela read more

I am not sure were to start, Melody is a super star. She is warm, professional and very easy to work with. She adopted our flower wishes/likes and created something beyond our wildest dreams. Melody was amazing at incorporating the flowers that were a must for our wedding and then adding to it to complete the whole picture. We know that Melody helped create the perfect day for us with her gorgeous creations! read more

I recently hired Melody for my late September wedding and she did a beautiful job! While I was not able to give her much guidance (I just knew I liked garden roses!) she went above and beyond matching our colors perfectly and delivering amazing pieces. In addition to the lovely flowers, Melody is pleasant to work with. She is extremely patient and very responsive. I would highly recommend her to any bride! read more

Melody was SOOO amazing to work with. She was a great listener and had excellent communication. She was so willing to do whatever needed to be done to make my day a special one. She had extensive knowledge of so many different flowers and gave me the most practical and cost effective flower arrangement ideas which is exactly what I was looking for. The bouquets and ceremony looked so beautiful because of her flowers. We got married at Lovers Point Park in Pacific Grove, so there wasn't much to decorate since the backdrop was the bay and the rocks - the only other attribute we had was the arch so the flowers popped and pulled everything together. If you are looking for someone to do flowers for your wedding or event I would highly recommend Fleurish. It was one of the greatest experiences throughout my entire wedding planning process. read more

I haven't even had my wedding yet and I'm already pleased with how quickly Melody got my vision for the wedding. She has been very attentive and great to work with remotely. As a marketer, I am impressed with her presentation on her website and FB pages. I'm positive this experience will be wonderful and I highly recommend this business for any event. read more

Melody is an absolute dream to work with! I came in with a very vague idea of what I was wanting for my wedding besides "pretty", and she was able to take my very limited directions and shape them into the floral design I didn't even realize was exactly what I was picturing! She encouraged me to use Pinterest to give her an idea of what I liked, and when we met in person gave me a few "this or that" choices, and then ran with it (with my full encouragement)...and created my dreams come true! She is responsive, warm and absolutely wonderful to work with, especially when you're not great at articulating the idea you have in your head! I also loved that we were able to donate our arrangements to local retirement homes through a program her daughter started. My bouquet was breathtaking, and I would choose her again every time! read more

We worked with Melody for our wedding and could not have been happier! Neither of us are very knowledgeable when it comes to floral and did not necessarily have any concrete ideas as to what we wanted for our big day. Melody was able to take our very broad thoughts and turn them into amazingly beautiful arrangements that fit perfectly with our colors and theme. She was very responsive to our questions and needs. We would highly recommend working with Fleurish Floral Designs! read more

Melody was great to work with. I had a tight budget and she accommodated a number of requests and made my wedding so beautiful. She gave great advice around color and flowers to match my dress, bridesmaid dress, and venue. My wedding was so bright and cheerful, and the flowers really helped make everything come alive. Melody is also very responsible and flexible. Great to work with and highly recommended! read more

Melody is amazing! I loved the bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces she did for our Sept wedding. ALso, she was such a pleasure to work with. She gave me ideas, suggestions, and most importantly, she respected the budget I was trying to stay within. I would recommend her again and again. read more

Melody was incredibly easy to work with, very professional, and was always quick to respond to emails/phone calls.

Very happy that Melody was our florist, she made planning the wedding very enjoyable and the outcome was perfect. read more

Melody was a dream to work with. We planned our wedding from out of state and I was only able to meet with Melody once. She took my vision (Pinterest images, etc.) and brought it to life. The flowers and centerpieces she created were absolutely stunning. I couldn't have asked for a more lovely person to work with. I did not have to worry about a single thing. She was flexible, responsive and worked to make everything fit into our budget, which other vendors would not have done. She was the best! I highly recommend Fleurish Floral Designs. I wish I could have taken all the flower arrangements home with me afterwards and saved them. They were stunning. Thank you, Melody! read more

The best piece of advice I could give to any future bride is to book Melody as soon as possible. Then, leave her alone and let her creativity take over. Trust me, her artistry will be better than anything you could dream up (or find on Pinterest!). All our other vendors congratulated us on snagging her for our wedding - it was a testament to her ability. I found working with her to be easy and comforting. Whereas other vendors took weeks to come up with a schedule or respond to my emails, Melody was keen on details and was on top of any and all changes we had. I never worried about our florals. Melody was not only a joy to work with, but the end result was a billion times better than I could imagine. My husband, who is not a "florals" guy, could not stop talking about how she transformed our wedding venue. Our wedding photos repeatedly get the comment "WOW look at those flowers!" Thank you Melody! You made our day! read more

Fleurish is owned by Melody King and if nothing else, she is honest and good at what she does. During our consultation, she pieced together a mock centerpiece and bouquets and we tweaked it, added to it, took away from it, etc until they were perfect. She was very patient. On the day of the wedding, she produced the most beautiful Stargazer Lilies I have ever seen. She loses one star due to her sometimes inhibited people skills. When she is frustrated or irritated at things that have nothing to do with you, it shows. I got to the point where I had my coordinator deal with her. Great price for flowers so it was worth putting up with. If she would have been expensive, I would have went to another florist based on her lack of professionalism at times but the price just could not be beat. In the end, I'm glad I stuck with her because she produced beautiful floral arrangements for me wedding that were exactly what I asked for. read more

Melody did my wedding bouquet and our church altarpieces. What an amazing job - our floral budget was limited and she made everything so beautiful! I originally had wanted a bouquet with mini calla lilies, but the cold weather had made them very small, so Melody added some beautiful orchids for free to bulk it up. She also did wonderful altarpieces with mostly greens - they were so great that a future bride stopped me in the hotel parking lot to ask me who my florist was! read more

Melody did my wedding 2 weeks ago at the Hyatt Carmel Highlands and the flowers and gazebo decorations were absolutely amazing!!! She was a joy to work with and perfectly blended my style with my hubby's! Everything was so beautiful! She gave great practical wedding floral advice and her prices were very fair! We talked to her about our ideas, then gave her creative freedom, and her arrangements were better than I could have imagined. I wouldn't have changed a thing! If you need flowers in the Monterey Carmel area, look no further! Melody King and her team are who you should pick! read more

I am an incredibly satisfied and extremely grateful customer. Melody did a truly remarkable job with the flowers for my wedding. From one picture for inspiration and just a few questions, she created an inviting and beautiful setting at the venue, with arrangements throughout that brought everything together. She knew the venue well and customized my theme to the setting so that everything was perfect. Every guest has remarked on the flowers and glowingly complimented them. Melody's work was so stunning that she blew all of us away. read more
