Like interior design, flower arranging is one of those creative skills that seems like you might instinctively be able to pull off with some effort. Predictably, no flower arrangement I attempt looks anything close to my bohemian pixie dream girl inspiration, until now. Matilda's Bloombox is a DIY subscription floral service that puts you at the helm of artistic flower arrangement. Their pretty enclosure includes beautiful, hand drawn, step-by-step instructions along with an inspiration photo, which together with your newly arrived flowers and greenery, will help you create that perfect arrangement. At $39, and with free shipping in the Bay Area, this San-Francisco based subscription service sources flowers locally by what is in season, and is a relative deal and a whole lot of fun. My first Bloombox arrived, delivered to my door, in a long, well designed cardboard box and as I got to work, with my card and flowers, things came together quickly. This bouquet was aptly named, "First of Spring" and included a unique mélange of flowers: snapdragons, olive branches, playa blanca roses, delicate Hanoi Ranunculus and even a pincushion protea. Despite past fail solo attempts at floral arranging, I found with Matilda's Bloombox, I really was able to make a lovely bouquet that channels spring and lives up to my inspiration.

Amazing work-sponsored workshop, Emily was an engaging host who made flower arranging fun and inspirational and we enjoyed hearing about all the different flowers sourced locally and simple flower arranging theory. The after effects of the workshop are a lot of us now have made getting fresh flowers a habit and we learned enough in the workshop to make anything look decent. Here is a link to the group workshop which was 30 minutes long, the flowers and vase were delivered right to peoples doors all over the Bay Area, and conducted over Zoom. My group had flowers selected to have an Indian theme and it was cool to see how different but beautiful everyone's flowers came out: https://matildasbloombox.com/Flowerbarevents The nice thing about this small business is the flowers can be ordered at anytime and you won't be trapped into the classic subscription model. Highly recommend checking them out!

Oh my gosh I love their business model. I learned about Matilda's Bloombox from my (very thoughtful) boyfriend who sent me a box as a surprise while he was on a business trip. I had been ordering from Bouqs for a while now, but I always found them to be too expensive for what I got! In terms of the flowers, I was SUPER impressed with how fresh the first bouquet was and then how long it lasted (2+ weeks). I also loved that the boxes are delivered gently and thoughtfully (and not just thrown on our doorsteps like some other flower delivery services). Everything about the package is also very thoughtfully done, including the explanation of the different elements in the bouquet and the step by step guide on how to put together the flower display. Honestly, put together, everything looks SO much more expensive than it actually is. $39 for a box of flowers is unheard of! As others have mentioned, the variety of flowers is wonderful and are all locally sourced. They do their best to support small businesses, especially once that have been hit hard by the changing climate in the flower-growing world. I love them and have been recommending them widely to my friends. I also just sent my mom her first box and will definitely be sending her more!

Lovely muted color pallet with white anemones.

I've been a regular customer of Matilda's bloombox since before the pandemic and I've had some of the most gorgeous arrangements that rival artisans stands in my area. I order flowers every other week and they mostly last for this time frame. The volume of flowers is usually enough to split between a couple of vases so I can do a table arrangement and a smaller one for my bathroom. Over time their service has improved and expanded to the East Bay. Recently they implemented a text notification system so I know when my flowers will arrive and can plan my day to get them in water. This little family business is genuinely nice, consistent and delightful. They are always striving to provide excellent quality. I always look forward to my Bloombox delivery.

This was a couple days after they arrived. They have now opened up a lot more (about 10 days later) and look to still be doing really well

Like everyone else has mentioned, these flowers are awesome and I have been impressed so far. I've only gotten my first box but it was gorgeous, came with detailed instructions and tips on how to arrange them, and has lasted several weeks so far. There was a small issue with delivery but they called me and made sure they still delivered which I really appreciated. At around $40 for each delivery of beautiful fresh flowers, it's also a pretty good deal for the size of bouquet and quality of everything (plus this includes delivery). Their website is also really easy to use and you can edit the delivery days without any issue- they have new arrangements every week but you can skip weeks and edit your delivery dates based on what they have for that week (and your cost is the same regardless of how often your deliveries are). I personally plan to have mine delivered every 3-4 weeks. Definitely a nice thing to look forward to. If you're looking for a local florist, I highly recommend Matilda's!

Matilda's Bloombox is absolutely AMAZING! I first was introduced to their company by a coworker in December when we were doing a tam-building event. We did a wreath decorating party together and WOW, what a stunning, and FUN successful way to bring the team together. The packages were lovely and delivered on time for our event. They are elegant and have instructions in each box so it was easy for anyone to be able to put a wreath together. I myself had never created a wreath and after following the simple instructions and using the beautiful blooms it looked like I had been building these beauties for years. The most fun part was that even though we all got the same "ingredients" we each came up with a beautiful and unique wreath to take home or gift. Most recently, given COVID, I have been signing up for bloom box deliveries and plan to do virtual bouquet builds with my friends to help us stay connected. It also feels great to be supporting this awesome local business and let's be honest, having some gorgeous flowers in my home will certainly help brighten the mood! If you are looking for a fun team or group activity, I highly suggest reaching out. They have great flowers and an amazing team who want nothing but beautiful arrangements in every home and life.

My friend ordered flowers from me here and I loved them! This particular order came with lovely dahlias (one of my favorite flowers), proteas (first time getting these type of flowers), white tulips, olive leaves, green mist lace, and dried lavender. The green mist lace smelled amazing! The flower box comes with detailed instructions of how to arrange them and I appreciate that the flowers are sourced from local vendors in California. What a joy receiving these flowers!

Matilda's Bloombox has the most beautiful flowers. And it's super affordable. The weekly deliveries are something I look forward to every Wednesday. It's easy to opt out for the week and their customer service is amazing! You can tell the owners really pour their heart and soul into their business.

This is my 2nd box so far. Really enjoyed having flowers picked out for me so I can have a meditative and creative time arranging them every week. It's like having your own garden without the work of gardening. Flowers come freshly cut and bloom with you, peaking around the 3rd - 4th day and stay nice until next week's delivery. I found that having chicken wires inside the vase helps better secure the flowers.

Just a couple of the beautiful arrangements that have arrived!

Fabulously fresh flowers delivered weekly! Love the "how to arrange" instructions in every box. Thank you Matilda's Bloombox for brightening my house week after week!

Beautifully curated florals, transparent business practices and partnerships, and educating around plants and care!!! Their customer service, prices, and quality are always top notch! I've used their services long term for most of 2020, gifted a few bunches to friends/family, and will recommend to brighten anyone's week.

I enjoy these flower arrangements that comes with detailed explanation of each flower and tips on how to arrange them nicely. Highly recommend!

my first flower batch!

I was feeling really bummed out not knowing where to get fresh flowers with everything happening, as they've always been my go to pick me up. My friend found Matilda's Bloombox and sent it my way and we decided to sign up so we could do virtual flower arranging together. Basically, you can do a flower subscription where you choose a delivery cadence and get fresh farm sourced flowers delivered to your door. Each delivery comes with a description of the flowers in your box + tips on how to arrange them. My first box arrived last Wednesday at 7:30 in the morning and they were absolutely gorgeous. It was an all white arrangement with big palm leaves that brightened my day so much. This one didn't come with too many instructions, but I had so much fun playing around with it and already can't wait until my next one arrives. My only concern was that they didn't last very long (about a week) but I think that might've had something to do with care. Otherwise, so gorgeous, affordable, and so happy. Highly recommend for other flower lovers!

Wow. I am very disappointed with my flowers. I had ordered these flowers to congratulate a friend…read moreon her promotion and I am extremely embarrassed at what she received. I had specifically ordered from Diosa because of how beautiful and whimsical the floral designs were on their Instagram and their website. I had even paid the extra delivery fee to get this delivered outside their service area because I was happy to support this small business! But what I got was a sad average looking floral arrangement that I could have gotten from a grocery store (see picture). This is certainly not the value of a $135 arrangement that is depicted on their website. Additionally, their website says that they include a hand written card. I wasn't expecting an actual big folded card with envelope, but at the very least I expected it on a blank notecard?I certainly wasn't not expecting the note to be on their business flyer which I find to be a little tactless, considering how I emphasized that these were exciting congratulatory flowers being sent to a professional office when placing my order with them over phone. I even asked if the medium was a good size to send since the large vase arrangement looked really huge on the website. And they assured me that the arrangement would be about 1.5/2 feet tall. As you can see from my photo this was not even 1 foot tall. I would have gladly paid for the large vase arrangement if it meant a more impressive floral arrangement. But sadly I don't think I would have gotten anything better if I ordered the large vase arrangement. I understand that flowers are seasonal and I wasn't going to get exactly what they have on their website. But the arrangement I received isn't even in the same realm of the arrangements on their site and Instagram. I will say their customer service was good and they were able to deliver. But I definitely won't be ordering from here again. Total bummer since I was really hoping to support them again in the future.

The Diosa team is so talented and absolutely nailed the bright & cheerful aesthetic we wanted! We…read moreworked with Kate and Krisha for our wedding, where they supplied us with the bouquet, pocket boutonniere, several ceremony displays and many small table arrangements. The style and details were hammered out well in advance and they seamlessly handled the day-of logistics without us needing to worry. We loved the flowers, and we'd definitely work with them again!

The first time I came here to purchase a bouquet was in March, and I've since bought three more…read morebouquets and will continue to be a returning customer. It has quickly become my go-to flower shop. Service is very quick, price is reasonable, and there is a variety of beautiful flowers to choose from. You can tell that the owner is very knowledgeable and has been running this corner shop for many years. I've specified for my bouquets to be cat-friendly and have never had an issue. You can either tell him what color palette you're going for, pick out the flowers yourself, or give a price range for him to arrange a set for you. Very quick in and out! They accept Apple Pay. The only small nit is that I wish this shop had materials to decorate the bouquet up a bit more to make the packaging more presentable. They do add a colored ribbon of your choice, but it's just a simple, thin ribbon wrapped around the brown paper. Not a huge deal, the bouquet will eventually go into a vase anyway.

A client of ours left a co she had been with for 20+ years and we wanted to send her a flower…read morearrangement. Problem? It was Friday and we needed it to be delivered the following morning. So, like I often do, I went to Yelp! I came across several florists, but my eyes gravitated to the one with 5 stars and a good number of reviews. I called, spoke with Juan (who was delightful) and put together an arrangement that he said would be delivered the next morning. Next morning comes and I receive a text from my client who was so thankful and a picture of the arrangement. Needless to say Juan/"Flower Corner" has a new client. Big thanks again for impeccable service and a top-quality product that is made from the heart.
