Penelope Pots came as a recommend vendor from the Ebell Long Beach. I worked with Jackie and her team and they were absolutely fantastic! I had a specific vision and Jackie helped steer it in the right direction, using a style of Ikebana (which I had never heard of!) to achieve what I was looking for. I was blown away on the day of my wedding how beautiful everything looked. She was easy to work with, understood my budget restrictions, and communicated with me. I'd highly recommend working with her, a 10/10 experience. read more

Stumbling upon this cute little pop-up shop when I least expected in Fashion Island, I couldn't help but get lost in all the lush looking plants throughout the store. I have way too many houseplants and succulents in my house, and so it was a lucky that my girlfriend was with me whom I helped picked out a few plants for her place. Susan was welcoming and friendly, and was thoroughly in picking many suggestions and recommendations. She is very knowledgeable about the plants here, and was open with many tips and tricks on caring for these plants. The bountiful selections of greenery here is perfect for a brief walk for inspiration. Although the prices are steeper than nearby nurseries, all the plants here look clean and immaculate without blemishes. Definitely the customer service here makes it a cute little experience shopping here. read more

Extremely disappointed in Penelope Pots and Jackie. I purchased a plant from them 2 weeks ago. Mind you, my apartment is filled with plants so I'm not a newbie when it comes to plants and keeping them healthy and alive. Well, when I brought home this particular plant from Penelope Pots, it immediately died. Like immediately. The soil was still wet so I did not water it when I got home. Once I thought the soil was ready to be watered, I stuck my finger in 2 inches to check the soil and it was dry so it was ready to be watered. The plant was already not looking great but I hoped the water would help. Boy, was I wrong. Not only did the plant continue to die, it basically rot. I didn't have time to bring the plant back into the shop sooner. I brought it back exactly 2 weeks after purchasing it. When I walked into the store to return or exchange, the first woman looked at me like I killed the plant and said "what did you do?!" I told her the situation and how I only watered it once and only had it 2 weeks and it died immediately. She shook her head and said "oh you overwatered it. The soil is soaked". I told her I had not watered it since last week. She then proceeded to accuse me of not taking care of it and that "many customers don't know how to care for plants after bringing them home". I was shocked. I told her how my apartment is filled with plants but this was the only one that died. I also told her I did not overwater it and that I waited for the soil to dry to water. She then says that she needs to speak to Jackie. Jackie asks me what happened. I explained the situation again. Get this, she tells me I UNDERWATERED it! I replied, "she just told me I overwatered it, now you're telling me I underwatered it?!" Jackie went on to say that when the plants are in the shop, they get watered every single day. And that when I brought it home, it was clearly neglected and did not get enough water. You can ask ANY plant expert, and they will tell you that plants should not be watered until the soil is dry 2 inches below the surface. I asked for a refund or to exchange my plant for a new one, and she offered to give me 50% off a new plant. Again, shocked. Why would I want to pay more money for another plant when the one I purchased from them died immediately?? She refused to give me a full refund ($12!!) and would not exchange the plant without having me pay. I left the store very disappointed and could not believe their customer service. Not only was I blamed for killing the plant, I was told two different reasons it died - overwatered then underwatered! Jackie should stick to flowers and stay away from plants. I doubt I'm the first one to have their plant die after bringing it home. Tip for Jackie: watering your plants every day will give them root rot which is clearly what happened to mine before I even brought it home. read more

I hired Penelope Pots for our wedding in April 2022. Jackie and her team executed my vision better than I could have ever imagined. She went above and beyond and even threw in her own ideas that she thought would compliment the overall aesthetic. When Jackie presented me with my wedding bouquet, I was obsessed with it! She listened to exactly what I wanted and she delivered! I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Thank you, Jackie and the entire Penelope Pots team! You guys ROCK!!! read more

We hired Jackie and Penelope Pots for the florals at our wedding, and let me just say WOW! I was blown away and overwhelmed with emotions because Jackie and her team NAILED my vision. Penelope Pots was my decor - candles and flowers. That was it. I knew Jackie understood my vision once I communicated that with her, but I still cannot believe how beautiful it was in person. ALL of my guests described our wedding as "stunning" and "elegant" and that was due primarily to Jackie and her team. Aside from the beautiful end result, I also have to give Jackie credit for the amount of work her and her team put into our day. It was a hot day in San Juan Capistrano, and Jackie and her team were out there ALL DAY working tirelessly to make everything perfect. I was even more surprised when they waited until after our ceremony was over to help transform the ceremony space into our reception area. I am still dreaming of all the flowers from my wedding day. It is sooo worth it to find reputable vendors and Penelope Pots should be the top of your list if you're looking for a florist for any event. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Jackie is a true artist! My wedding planner recommended Penelope Pots and we are so glad she did. We wanted jewel toned flowers and some decor to help elevate our midsummer's night dream style wedding. We had our first meeting over the phone and I immediately knew we wanted to work with her. She is not only an artist but a true professional who helped us select our flowers within our budget. And did she deliver! She pulled together a beautiful flower palette for our wedding day. Every flower arrangement was stunning! My bridesmaids loved their bouquets and we got so many compliments on our flowers the entire night. If you are looking for a florist, we highly recommend using Penelope Pots. You will not be disappointed. read more

Jackie is 10/10 amazing!!! When planning my wedding, I spoke with a few different florists for quotes and Penelope Pots was the most affordable! Not only that, but she was also the kindest and most patient of the people I spoke with on the phone. She used an online proposal tool that many florists used. It was helpful because you can make payments and sign contracts through that site. You can also look back and see what elements you decided on (how many bouquets, corsages, center pieces, etc.). It was great to keep all my details organized! As a client, I always felt listened to. I changed my mind once or twice during planning and she was so flexible. She even threw in some extra elements! Her prices are very reasonable for all that she does. She is incredibly talented and so creative!! All of her work is absolutely gorgeous!! My bouquet was STUNNING!! She is a floral genius. read more

From all the beautiful plant babes, to the build your own fresh or dried florals, to all their goodies for every occasion - I'm obsessed!! This place has become my absolute go to for all things gifting and treating myself lately. I've gotten so many dried or combinations of fresh/dried arrangements as gifts for others since their opening, and everyone is always SO happy to receive them and constantly asking me where I got them. I came in this weekend and told the gals I was interested in designing a dried arrangement for my own room make over, talked out my style/vision, gave them my budget, and let me tell you - they DELIVERED and made my vision come to life. Every time I go back in to the store it's a new experience in the best way possible because they're constantly getting new goodies!

I hired Jackie to do flowers for a surprise 30th party I was hosting. I was trying to make it elegant without going over board or breaking the bank on decorations. Her flowers seriously made the party! They were stunning, matched the theme/colors of the party perfectly, and were the talk of the party. I have very high expectations and Penelope Pots passed them. We were also able to enjoy the flowers for the next week because of the quality of her flowers and arrangements. She will be the only flowers I use from here on out! read more

I can't say enough positive things about Penelope Pots! Jackie is so insanely talented. I love that she takes the time to get to know you as a client and come up with a design that fits your aesthetic. Her passion for what she does truly shows in her work. read more

Literally, Jackie miller is in this just to take your money. I filled out the "wedding questionnaire" on line and called her after to see if I can get an appointment. She was so happy and excited and 100% on my wedding day. I told her that I literally only needed a bouquet. She immediately changed her tone and got really shitty with me. She had a HORRIBLE attitude and literally said "oh are you eloping or something?" I then snapped back and said "no, I'm actually getting married in a chapel". She said that she would "look over my questionnaire" and see what "she could do". I got off the phone and absolutely couldn't believe it. All my friends and family in Orange County will know about this and what a terrible pretentious person she is. read more

Love the aesthetic. Penelope Pots has an eye for design (to say the least). There is something to say about a retail shop that captivates your attention throughout your entire shopping experience. I love the set up. It's constantly changing which I think adds charm and wonder to each visit. Overall the staff is warm, welcoming and inviting and tries their best to accommodate your inquiries. Not many people take the time to listen to you or ask how your day has been. It makes it seem personal and shows they care. As someone who is familiar with the floral industry, their prices are so reasonable and worth every penny for the quality you get. Definitely would recommend for your gift items, plants, fresh/dry floral needs! read more

My home is looking green and happy. I'm going back for more plants. read more

Was very excited to splurge and purchase a new plant baby. I purchased a Tricolor Stromanthe through delivery and received my plant baby with multiple burned and broken leaves. Was very disappointed because the quality of product when visiting the store verses what I received was much different. Shame on me for trusting and assuming delivery would be better than going in person or doing store pick up. Unfortunately, it took the store a week to respond to my inquiry and store policy doesn't allow for quality control once items are delivered. But hey they did ask me to let them know "if I was interested in a few tips to help bring my plant back to a better condition!" Got a response back after receiving a sad plant. Had a new thriving plant friend delivered, still had a little communication issue with delivery, but am happy to add this new plant babe to the family. read more

One of her arrangements showed up at my house today. Simply WOW. Penelope Pots is the best.

Just received one of the most beautiful arrangements ever. An incredible assortment of flowers and the pot the flowers are in is something I will definitely use again. What a talented florist and would recommend them highly. read more

I contacted Jackie to create a boquet for a trash the dress wedding shoot. Jackie was great and easy to work with. She sent me a couple ideas and the result was beautiful. She also surprised me with a headpiece and boutinner for my husband. The flowers held up beautifully thru out the day. I was able to even re use them as a centerpiece for a dinner I was having. Jackie is truly a perfectionist and pays great attention to detail. I will be using Jackie in the future for more events. You can not go wrong with using her for all your floral needs. read more

Jackie did SUCH an amazing job on all of the floral arrangements for my daughters wedding. Unfortunately, in the Chaos of the Grand Exit, the Brides bouquet was lost.

My family and I highly recommend her! read more

Jackie was definitely one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. From the day we inquired, Jackie was so helpful, knowledgeable and amazing - I knew we were in amazing hands! Her talent is incomparable and she has such an eye for detail and decor too which is where I lack in trying to envision how it'll all look. I was able to put all of my trust into her and she created such magical florals for our wedding. We couldn't be happier and we would recommend her to anyone!! read more

One of my favorite things about my new husband is that HE found Penelope Pots online when I asked him to look up florists! I can't tell you how amazing Jackie and her colleagues are. She nailed our wedding flowers! They worked with our budget and totally were amazing at capturing our vision! I seriously had the most beautiful flowers and greenery ever. From bouquets, boutonnieres, crowns, floral bracelets, an arch, greenery down the aisles and hanging greenery hoops and table arrangements and decor, she did it all. The only negative was when her people came to pick up the decor, they came while my wedding was still happening and when my wedding planner questioned them, they complained to Jackie they were being "harassed." She asked my planner why they were being harassed, and then apologized when she heard that they were there so early and the people stepped away. read more

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Jackie from Penelope Pots. In my wife's words, "Jackie is a secret treasure in an enormous sea of wedding vendors. After contacting a few other florists vendors who were straight up rude when I told them about my budget and aesthetic, I was so relieved when I found Jackie who was sweet, professional and courteous. She really worked with me through my wedding budget - suggesting the best flowers for the season and where I could save without sacrificing my vision. She's up to date on the latest trends. She even provided overall wedding tips since she remembered what it was like planning her own wedding. Jackie created gorgeous centerpieces, bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres for the wedding party. The floral crown she designed for me lasted the entire night. Even when we had to make last minute adjustments, Jackie was always so patient and flexible. By far one of the nicest vendors I dealt with for my wedding, Jackie will take care of you. Just be sure to call her up before she gets too popular!" I also have to add that we received a lot of great compliments about the centerpieces. My wife loved working with Jackie. I know that some of the other florists we contacted treated us like they couldn't work with us unless we wanted to spend a ridiculous amount of $$$$$. Jackie was able to deliver great arrangements while still staying within our budget...just a little sad and disappointed that we weren't able to preserve any of them! read more

Jackie is so creative and talented , she went above and beyond for our wedding! She is easy to work with and the florals were beautiful! Thank you Penelope Pots !! read more

I received an arrangement of succulents for helping host a baby shower this past weekend. They were so pretty, I asked where the mom to be got them from. They were wrapped so cute and now I have them on my dining room table. Loving them because they take less water in this drought and will last much much longer than any other. It is the gift that keeps on giving and looks awesome in my house.. adding some natural elements. Jackie was at the shower and I got her card to pass on to my sister who is getting married in August. read more

Jackie seems to amaze me every time with her gorgeous floral creations. I requested Jackie to create arrangements for my black and white themed party.

I would highly recommend Penelope Pots for all floral needs, from a simple arrangement for a friend, to florals for a wedding and special occasions. Thanks Jackie from Penelope Pots for all of your arrangements made with perfection! read more

I strongly recommend this florist as the best in all of Southern California! read more

First things first, when it comes to planning a wedding, as many of you know, one of the most paramount aspects to consider is the floral arrangements that ultimately set the tone and dictate the flow of the day's esthetic appeal. To accomplish that, you need the "perfect" florist. But where does one find such a rare talent? Enter: Jackie! When we first reached out to Jackie and had a chance to view her work from a wide variety of weddings and events that she had worked her magic for, we instantly fell in love with the pictures that we came across. There was ZERO doubt in our minds that her style would complement ours to a "T"! And that she did! The entire process, from the moment we contacted her and sent her more pictures than her email account could possibly handle to the Walkthrough that she attended with us in which she made sure to ease our nerves, and eventually, the Big Day itself, Jackie was nothing short of flawless, through and through. Her accommodating and highly flexible demeanor, peppered in with her natural-born zest to decorate and illuminate a venue, proved to be exactly what we wanted all along! We could not imagine having had a more beautifully styled Ceremony, Cocktail Hour AND Reception! Jackie was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, offering her own suggestions and professional feedback based on the wedding theme that we described to her; not only that, but she even recommended votive and centerpiece vessels for us to shop for that would harmoniously embellish the flowers we ended up going with! If and when we had trouble locating such pieces, Jackie offered to search for them herself and notify us of their whereabouts! Does it get any better than that? Actually, it does. She even brought votives and vessels with her on the day of the Walkthrough to serve as a mock-up for us to see in-person, ultimately putting to rest any uncertainties we had whatsoever!! Even when we had last-minute "inspirations" and changes to our floral theme, Jackie accommodated those with the most amazing turnaround time and showed us, time and time again, that there was NO REASON TO WORRY!! Lastly, but surely not leastly, when my father passed away only a month and a half prior to our wedding date and our entire world turned upside down with the most crushing blow that could have ever been dealt our way, Jackie rose to the occasion in an inexplicably compassionate way, exhibiting empathy and grace the way only she can. She created the most elegant and exquisite "Memorial Floral Arrangement", which she draped over a special Ceremony chair, dedicated to my late father. As insurmountably difficult as it was to go through that day without my rock and comfort there, Jackie filled a portion of the void with her clutch performance and her ability to commemorate the man who brought me this far in my life. On our Big Day, Jackie's work seemed so effortless, given her composed disposition, her naturally joyous nature and her ability to ensure that all the "little things" were taken care of well ahead of the Ceremony start-time. We were not only wowed by her final product, we were actually stunned!! In the best way possible! It would be the understatement of the century to say that we simply "recommend" Jackie for weddings and events, so let's just say, no celebration or party would be complete without having Jackie infuse her ingenious, artistic touch to it. If we could give her "6 stars" we would, but sadly, Yelp limits just how highly we think of Jackie. read more
