This review is long overdue. Ixora, the owner Lisa and her crew are as talented and professional as they come. I had a family member who was a florist in my home town. I was used to getting magnificent arrangements often. My husband found Ixora first a few years ago and they were the most beautiful flowers I'd ever received! We haven't used another florist since. Their creativity level is beyond amazing. Each time I receive one of their arrangements, my breath is taken away. I've sent flowers on occasions like funerals where many are received and theirs really do stand out among the rest. I've had recipients tell me so more than once. Their professionalism is second to none. They're prompt and friendly. They can go with my inspiration ideas, even just verbally. They go out of their way to be the cream of the crop and it shows. Flowers are such a joyful part of life that we could all use, especially now. I'm grateful for the happiness they've given to me and many of our loved ones. I'm very sad to say we've moved out of state and I haven't been able to find a comparable florist. We'll miss you Ixora! read more

Lisa is AMAZING. She is so kind and made the planning process so easy. I had no clear direction as to what I wanted my florals to entail, but she was able to help me create an absolute dream of a wedding with her expertise. Her pricing is very reasonable as well because of how beautiful her pieces are. Would definitely recommend! read more

Lisa is one of the most hard working in the business and was our essential creative visionary for our wedding in July 2025 at the Athenaeum in Pasadena. She was patient and flexible while maximizing our wedding florals in ways we didn't know possible and met with us several times to give her honest input while bringing to life our sophisticated and elegant flower schemes. She made executive decisions on the wedding day when our flowers were in the sun and we couldn't have been happier. Above all, she is so kind and a joy to work with. Follow her on IG - she can truly do anything and books up quickly! We couldn't have done it without her and can't wait to work with her again for future events! read more

Working with ixora was the most seamless process! Lisa made the whole process fun and enjoyable. it was a no brainer to work with ixora afterseeing their beautiful wedding work but after working with them I cannot recommend ixora enough. it was almost 100 degrees on our wedding day and Lisa worked her magic to make sure all our flowers stayed fresh and perfect. I, like many others, cannot recommend ixora enough! read more

Lisa has been one of my favorite florists for years. I have worked with Ixora for over 6 years as a Wedding Coordinator and Venue Manager. I was lucky enough to get to work with her on my own wedding on 5/10/25. Our sample meeting was one of the highlights of our planning process. We went into the meeting with a very specific vision. Lisa had created it to a T but also created an alternate arrangement as a possibility. I ended up falling head over heels for that arrangement and we completely changed our plan. As you can see from the photos, it turned out perfectly! Working in the industry, I can tell you that I recommend renting as much as you can from one vendor. Not only did Lisa handle our florals, we rented the vessels, candles, and chuppah from her as well! Lisa truly makes sure that your day is a representation of you and your vision. read more

WOW. I could not be more thrilled with the floral design Lisa (the owner) did for our wedding at Bel Air Bay Club. Lisa was patient with us as our vision changed several times during the wedding process, and took several calls, zooms, and an in person meeting to get it just right. She took time to listen to our ideas, referenced our inspiration photos, and made them even better than we could have imagined, taking our dream of an elegant english garden to life. At our wedding, guests were amazed at the flowers. Lisa absolutely nailed it!!! Hiring Lisa was the best decision we made for our wedding. 10/10, would recommend to all. THANK YOU LISA!!!! read more

Lisa's work is simply stunning! She is easy to work with and has the most incredible eye for floral design. We made several changes after our initial meeting and Lisa was patient with all our requests. She executed every detail of our vision for our wedding at Shutters on the Beach perfectly. Our guests were gushing about every arrangement from the small centerpieces scattered throughout the reception, the wedding arch, our bouquets, and how she turned the ballroom into an enchanting space. Each of the designs was cohesive and stunning. I wish I could adequately express how happy we were with how everything turned out! Each detail from the design, service, and delivery was top notch. I would absolutely work with Ixora again. read more

Lisa was amazing and had a wonderful eye for design and florals, she really found her calling. We had a few ideas, but were very open to suggestions and her tastes of what looked good. We provided her with a few flowers and colors we liked and she took that and ran with it. We could not have imagined more beautiful arrangements that were exactly what we always wanted if not better. Every detail from our flower petals in the aisle at the ceremony to the centerpieces on the tables, everything was cohesive and beautiful. I would absolutely work with Ixora again and again, she really has a talent. read more

We worked with Lisa the owner of Ixora Floral Studio to execute our floral vision for our wedding in Dana Point on September 8, 2018. Long story short, the flowers were absolutely amazing! Read below for more deets! Lisa really knows her stuff! At our first meeting I showed her several inspiration photos from Pinterest and she instantly began bouncing ideas off me to fully understand the look I was going for. I contacted her via email multiple times leading up to the wedding with changes and she was always more than happy to update my order, answer my questions and even provided helpful insight. She was also very accommodating and would make arrangements to speak with me over the phone so we could discuss in more detail. On the wedding day, employees from Ixora Floral Studio arrived on time and began setting up for our ceremony and reception which were in two separate locations (about 10 minutes apart). We were extremely impressed with the quality of the flowers and the professionalism of the employees who even helped clean up and transport flowers from the ceremony to the reception. We received countless compliments on the flowers which not only looked phenomenal, but smelled amazing too! Lisa and her team really executed our vision for the wedding and we are over the moon at how beautiful the flowers were. read more

We had the most incredible experience working with Ixora Floral for our February 2022 wedding at the Castle Green in Pasadena. We wanted a romantic, whimsical, secret garden vibe and that's exactly what we got. They made everything look so opulent and beautiful while still working around our budget. Our guests were speechless when they saw our stunning ceremony, gorgeous chuppah, the way the venue's tree had been accented by hanging chandeliers, the living garden they hung from the ceiling of the ballroom, and the stunning centerpieces and bouquets. Could not have been more impressed with the design, quality, price, and ease of working with Ixora -- highly recommend! read more

I want to thank Lisa at Ixora Floral Studio for the stunning flowers they provided us for our wedding Sunday July 1st. I cannot tell you how excited I was and how real the day became for me once they brought the massive box containing my bridal and all the bridesmaids' bouquets. As soon as they took my bouquet out I could barely contain my excitement! The colors and quality of the flowers were exquisite. The size and density of the bouquet was exactly what I wanted. My husband, (yay :D) loved his boutonniere -- which was a very important aspect of the personal flowers -- since he really knew what he wanted for them. We both appreciated that you took the time to meet with him to really understand his vision. The mothers' wrist corsages were also beautiful and very much appreciated. You did a wonderful job recreating their bridal bouquets. It really meant a lot to them. The low table arrangements and especially the tall arrangements were breathtakingly beautiful. The floating candles with the gold holders were perfect and I am glad that you gave me the option to add those short-notice. The archway for the ceremony was so beautiful and exactly what we talked about. The white drapes behind it made it feel so dreamy and magical. I was visiting friends and family, all night and yet, I couldn't help myself admiring them and leaning in to appreciate the gorgeous blooms and fragrances of all the arrangements. There are so many other examples of the stunning florals you did for us including the cake - all were wonderful and far exceeded our expectations. We received an incredible number of compliments about every aspect of the flowers! Aside from the appearance, the fragrance of the flowers was incredible. Danny, our photographer even commented on how nice the bouquets smelled. My mother-in-law said that even the bridesmaids' bouquets were so wonderful and big that they could have been bridal bouquets themselves (Don't worry I never felt upstaged!). I was so impressed with the amount and quality of flowers you provided us. I only remember seeing you once that day working hard on the archway. I wish I could have thanked you more in person for the wonderful job you did at our wedding. You and your team were complete professionals and worked fantastically with the other vendors (bakery, photography etc.). We took so many pictures of my bouquet that I hope we could recreate elements of it for anniversaries. I would not hesitate in the slightest to recommend you and iXora Florist for any wedding or special event. read more

I met with several local florists, at varying price ranges, while planning my wedding. Flowers were a big deal for me. I chose Ixora because they were creative, flexible, professional, and had impeccable taste. The work they produced was just perfect. When I look back at my photos, three years later, I am so happy I chose them. read more

When I think about my wedding, my flowers are always something that I consider to be one of the highlights. I came in initially with an idea for flowers, but ended up changing my mind completely after seeing some of the beautiful things Lisa has done. In retrospect, I was also sort of a mess to deal with and Lisa was patient and amazing through my indecisiveness. We went with all white flowers with green accents (I'll add photos) and I was so pleased. We also rented linens from Ixora. Our wedding day was disastrous for those who were helping to set it up. It rained...and it was an outdoor wedding. Linens got wet, tables had to be moved, but I had no idea that there was a problem because everyone who was setting up, including Lisa, really pulled together to get everything ready for our guests. Thank you so much for everything! read more

Lisa totally got my vision and worked within my budget. Initially, I didn't care much about the flowers at my wedding but when I saw her trial run, I was so excited for the flowers! Even my husband, who doesn't generally notice flowers, said they looked amazing! Most guests at weddings don't notice flowers, but that's because most weddings have mediocre arrangements. So many of my guests mentioned how much they loved the flowers at my wedding! read more

If you're looking for well-crafted, elegant design, and fresh florals, look no further than Ixora! Lisa was great to communicate with, and was very thoughtful when coming up with the best floral design that complemented the vibe of our wedding. We hired their services for the most important parts of our wedding, which was the arch of our ceremony, the aisle decorations, centerpieces and Sweetheart Table for reception, the boutonnieres, and bouquets. Though, they're more than capable and ready to do much more than what we've experienced. We could hear our guests complementing and talking about how beautiful all the florals looked with Ixora's highly skilled craftsmenship. Their set up and tear down skills were flawless and it was so cool to see them transform our venue and truly make everything complete. My wife has told me that she's never held a more beautiful collection of flowers before. I've also had the unique opportunity of disassembling her bridal bouquet so we can dry and preserve the flowers in resin and I was shocked by the clever arrangement, flower choice, and construction hidden between the stems to make the bouquet solid and beautiful. If you're still reading this and wondering if you should go with Ixora, I'd encourage you to stop and contact them. They're exactly what you're looking for. read more

Lisa is incredibly talented florist. She and her team put together all the flowers for my wedding, which included personals, as well as centerpieces, and arrangements for the ceremony. I was so impressed by how beautiful the flowers looked. She was able to recreate my vision so perfectly. We had several in person meetings and some back and forth during email. We looked at pictures together and on the day of the wedding everything we discussed came out as I expected and even more so. The flowers were fresh and the colors gorgeous. The size of the arrangement for the price I paid was very reasonable. Lisa is very busy and in high demand, but really made the effort and time to listen to me and made sure we were on the same page. Overall, very happy with my experience! read more

Ixora Floral Design did the flowers for my wedding. I could not have been more thrilled with the quality of their service and product. I highly recommend Ixora if you need flowers for an event. I took an initial meeting with Lisa, owner of Ixora, to discuss my wedding. My floral budget was really, really low. Knowing that Ixora did very high quality work, I wasn't sure they would even want to deal with my small wedding. However, Lisa could not have been nicer and more accomodating. Through the whole process she treated me as if I was her most important client. She listened carefully to what I wanted and delivered amazing, amazing flowers on the day of my wedding. The bouquets were stunning- exactly what I'd asked for and then some. The floral displays at the ceremony site were lovely. Lisa was there early to set up, giving my photographer plenty of time to take photos of the flowers before the ceremony. I have zero complaints about Ixora and am so glad I hired them for my big day. If you have a special event looming, I would really recommend talking to Ixora about flowers! read more

Ixora did the flowers for my wedding and they were just lovely. They took my basic concept (blues) and created some of the most beautiful centerpieces ever. They worked with me and my budget and really listened to my ideas. I had met with another florist who seemed to be set on doing what she wanted and not what I wanted. The quality of their product and service at Ixora was top notch. Professional and friendly I could not have been happier with my wedding flowers. read more

If you don't have time to read my detailed review below, here is the bottom line: A company run as incompetently as Ixora should NEVER be entrusted with a once-in-a-lifetime event like a wedding, funeral, or memorial service. Their actual flower arrangements were just okay, nothing special. Their service was completely unacceptable. My beloved mom passed away recently, and yesterday we had a memorial service for her at The Langham Huntington, a swanky hotel in Pasadena. I hired Ixora because (1) they had done events at the Langham before, (2) they had a five-star rating on Yelp, and (3) they were conveniently located to the venue. I started to have doubts when the owner, Lisa, didn't respond to my emails or phone calls in what I would consider a timely manner. After we had settled our contract, I asked Lisa several times whether she had any questions for me. She told me we were "all set." I expected to arrive at the Langham on the day of my mother's memorial to see the flowers set up as we had discussed. What followed was a catastrophe. My family and I arrived at 2:00 pm to start setting up for the 4:00 pm service and were alarmed to find no flowers whatsoever. I called both of the phone numbers I had for Ixora and had to leave messages because no one answered. (I was not given an emergency number to call.) We were panicking when guests began to arrive and still no flowers. All of our guests were seated and waiting for the service to begin when the Ixora delivery person finally showed up at 4:20 pm (although later Lisa would claim that he arrived at 3:40 -- not true). The man arrived 20 minutes after the service had officially begun. He had to set up the flowers around my mother's urn and portrait in front of all of our guests. We were horrified that everyone had to watch a sweaty delivery man in T-shirt and shorts handling my mother's cremains. He also set up the flowers so that they half obscured my mother's portrait! And by the way, by the time the delivery man brought in the bouquet for the reception table, every single guest had already arrived and was seated inside -- so no one even saw the reception flowers. What an utter waste. The last thing a family needs is to be worrying about logistical details while trying to interact with guests and deal with their own grief. My father trusted me to handle the flowers for my mother's memorial. I felt a tremendous responsibility to fulfill his wishes and I was mortified that this was how it turned out. It was nothing short of a nightmare. Later that night after the service was over, I checked my email to find a message from Lisa that was clearly a cop-out trying to dodge responsibility for their mistake. She claimed that the hotel had given her the wrong start time (6:00 pm). My question is: Why didn't she ask me, the client, what time the event started? This seems like a critical piece of information that she should have confirmed before telling me we were "all set." When you hire a florist for a special event, you're not just paying for flowers -- you're paying for a service. Ixora did not provide the service we paid for. One of the most important days of my life -- the one in which I was to honor my mother's memory and share my grief with family and friends -- was ruined by what the owner of Ixora glibly called a "communication breakdown." Even though Lisa was well aware of the disaster that had occurred, she didn't call me until NOON THE NEXT DAY. This was almost three hours after I had sent her an angry email -- an email which she said she hadn't yet read. How can a person run a company this way?? In each of her attempts to apologize, she still tried to put the blame on the hotel. I demanded that she make this right and she has agreed to give us a full refund. However, this traumatic experience will live on in my memory, forever tied up with the memory of my last goodbye to my mother. For that, I will never forgive Ixora. read more

Lisa and the entire Ixora Floral Studio design team went above and beyond to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams. Lisa is a true artist and impressed me with her ability to hear my vision and translate it in to tangible decor ideas. It was a pleasure working with Lisa and she was always very accommodating and patient with all of our requests. We wanted a modern, classic and elegant vibe that made a big glam statement, and Lisa definitely over-delivered! She created 4 different table styles and our friends loved going around the room to take pictures at all of the different yet coordinating styles. Lisa was the utmost professional in dealing with me, my parents, my fiance, wedding planner and catering director and you could rely on her for her creative suggestions and problem solving skills. She can work with any budget and provides nothing but the best quality whether it's for flowers, lighting, decor (chairs, napkins, linens), dance floors, stages, rentals or set up/take down. Just in talking with Lisa, she will make you excited about the vision of your wedding and bring it to life in the most natural way. She was SO GIVING of her time and expertise and everyone was raving about how she transformed our venue (a golf country club) on wedding day. If you hire Ixora for your wedding or florals, be prepared to be blown away! THANK YOU LISA & TEAM!! read more

I used Ixora for my wedding and I couldn't be happier! Lisa's work is simply amazing. I really wasn't sure what I wanted when it came to picking centerpieces and bouquets as I know nothing about flowers and what looks good together, but Lisa knew what questions to ask in order to create the exact image I was looking for!! Lisa is very creative and thinks outside the box when it comes to choosing floral designs. The quality of the bouquets was outstanding and they were absolutely beautiful and complimented the bridesmaids dresses so well. So many of our guests commented on how breathtaking the banquet room was and it would not have been possible without Lisa and Ixora. I will recommend Ixora to any future brides I know!! Thanks again Lisa, your work is AMAZING!! read more

iXora does not disappoint! I chose to use iXora because I had seen the work they had done at my cousin's wedding and had to have them do my wedding. I met the owner Lisa and was very impressed. Knowing nothing about flowers she was able to recommend what would look best with the style I wanted for my wedding. We went through my day in detail and wrote down everything I wanted if I had no budget. Then we went back through and trimmed it down to fit my budget. Lisa is easy to work with and I was more than impressed with all her work. She nailed it! The arrangements at my wedding were stunning and I had so many wonderful compliments. My favorite reoccurring comment is"Your flowers were amazing, they looked like something out of a Platinum Wedding!" iXora is everything you could want from a florist! They are a must use for weddings and everyday arrangements! BEAUTIFUL! read more

I was recommended to Lisa by my wedding planner and after meeting her, I cancelled all other appointments I had with potential florists. She was extremely professional, prepared and completely got what I was looking for (which let me tell you wasn't easy as I am not great at giving a good picture and am rather indecisive). Lisa's studio is beyond adorable and makes you feel right at home whenever you meet with her. She was very flexible and worked with my small budget as I was only having a 30 person wedding but made the flowers extravagant and beautiful. She honestly was the only vendor I felt completely comfortable with leaving all creative direction in her hands. My flowers were beyond gorgeous at the wedding!!! I would highly reccommend her to anyone who is looking for the perfect flowers for their wedding! read more

Lisa and the Ixora team provided a truly breathtaking floral design for our November 2019 wedding at the Bel-Air Bay Club. Lisa was amazing to work with -- she instantly understood our modern vibe and came up with a design that was better than we could have imagined, and all within our budget. In advance of the wedding, Lisa was highly communicative, going back and forth with us on table centerpieces and my wife's bouquet. She even did a floral mock-up for us via FaceTime because we live in San Francisco and couldn't make it in person. The day of the wedding, the florals were even better than we could have dreamed! Maybe we're biased, but we thought the tables, chuppah, and chandeliers were high-end magazine worthy. We also want to underscore how fabulous Lisa is and how quick she thinks on her feet -- as one example, my wife's mother brought a family heirloom handkerchief that she hoped could be used in the wedding somehow. Without hesitation, Lisa perfectly incorporated the handkerchief into my wife's bouquet. The florals were perfect at our wedding and we are so thankful to Lisa and Ixora for such flawless execution. read more

If there were more stars, I would give it. I just LOVE Lisa!! After having a bad experience with Jacob Maarse in Pasadena, coming to Lisa was like going to heaven. She is extremely talented and will personally create your design. Unlike other floral shop who has other designers create your arrangements, Lisa is it! You don't have to worry about creating one of a kind centerpiece, Lisa is a mastermind of "whoa" or "wow!" or "amazing" arrangements! Don't settle for just any other floral designer, come and check out Ixora! You will be amazed how much time Lisa will listen to your vision. read more

Lisa is fantastic, knowledgable and very talented. She was very patient with me and totally worked to satisfy my wishes.

I absolutely recommend Lisa. I used her for my wedding, but I know that I'll be back for ANY floral needs. You will not be disappointed. read more

A brilliant find! Locally owned, by a team whose artistry is both classic, modern, tasteful and special.

I couldn't have asked for anything better! read more
