Katie was amazing! She replicated my vision exactly, and the bouquets and arch arrangements for my wedding were absolutely gorgeous! She was professional and put up with all the changes I requested, which as a bride planning my own wedding I greatly appreciated. Her prices are very fair. I highly recommend Petals by Katie for a wedding, birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, anything!!

Arch arrangement

I'm so glad I had Katie as my wedding florist!! Wouldn't have changed a thing. I sent over a moodboard of inspiration and she went over every detail, flower by flower, to make sure she understood what we wanted. She was super helpful with making suggestions and open to picking flowers that fit within my budget. On the day of the wedding she was there early to set up and also helped transfer the arch flowers and repurpose them for the sweetheart table. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the flowers were. Some thought they were fake they were so perfect. 10/10 would recommend Katie to execute your vision!

Bridesmaid bouquets with small dahlias and greenery

I had the pleasure of having Katie as my florist for my wedding and she was an absolute joy! Her prices were very affordable, but even more than that she was very respectful of our budget throughout the entire process. My bouquet was stunning and I loved the flowers for the arch. I also decided to preserve some flowers from my bouquet because I loved it so much! Thank you Katie!

We cannot say enough good things about Katie! We had a comparatively small budget for floral decoration but Katie took great care of us and was very willing to help us come up with creative ideas to achieve the goals with more budget-friendly options, like repurposing ceremony decorations. She even went above and beyond to connect me with a bride she worked with a year before, who had some terrarium candle holders at her wedding. Luckily, she was still looking to sell them and I ended up buying them from her at a very affordable price. Katie even offered to pick them up for me before the wedding since we live in San Francisco and having a destination wedding in San Diego. Her work was absolutely amazing! If you are interested in more details, here is the full story. We found Katie on Yelp 7 months before our wedding. We are not big flower people, so we wanted our wedding to be green and simple, with a few succulents here and there because we love the resilience of the plant. We communicated the vision on the phone with a Pinterest board we shared with her, we got an initial quote and we decided to hire her. Then we started to communicate more often and discuss more details about the decorations about 2,3 months ahead of the wedding via emails, but we weren't sure what we were exactly expecting. One month before the wedding, Katie joined us for the vendor walkthrough of the venue and we met for the first time. She showed us some photos of her past projects with similar themes to ours, which we really liked. During that very last month, we decided to have an arch, because we wanted to cover a huge white pillar in the background on the garden patio where our ceremony would happen. (I looked up photos of past weddings in the same venue, and really liked one wedding where the pillar was perfectly covered with flowers on a four-legged arch. But that decoration looked like it cost a grand!) I asked Katie whether it would be possible to achieve a similar effect with only greenery and plants within our budget. She told me some ideas and showed me a few more photos, and I told her I trust her best judgment. On the day of, when we did a quick walk-through before the ceremony, both my husband and I were amazed by how the arch looked and how the pillar was perfectly covered. It was even better than our best imagination. Later when we sneaked into the reception area, we were again stunned by how beautiful everything was. It was a magical day and Katie made it possible.

Yo, Katie DELIVERED! If you NEED a florist, stop what you're doing and call her!!! BOOK HER! She is so friendly and so easy to work with. I had the pleasure of working with her for my wedding this past month (June). Of course I booked her way in advanced last year. She will go over and talk with you either phone or in person into details about what flowers you want etc. There were sometimes where I didn't think of things like (flowers for the altar at the church or type of ribbons for the bouquets) and so glad she asked me. She also helped and suggested things when I was wasn't sure what looked good or not. She even created a really nice flower arrangements for the arch for my traditional tea ceremony. She wanted to make sure my roses came out the color that I wanted. I didn't know there were so many different colored roses. She is very punctual. She is someone you can rely on. There were extra rose petals that she used during my reception for the place cards and she even did a little extra for my sweetheart table. It was amazing!!! Also, if you want flowers on your cake, some florists don't offer that. KATIE will do it!!!! Please look at my pictures and you will see. She was amazing. Also, if you're on a really low budget wedding, she will offer lots of suggestions for you! I love her and I am soooooo thankful she did my wedding. THANK YOU KATIE!!!

I was never a huge flower person. I enjoy receiving them on special occasions, like anniversaries and Valentine's Day, but I don't know the first thing about floral arrangements especially for weddings. When I got engaged, I started looking for florists in San Diego that offer their services at reasonable prices because: 1) we had a modest wedding budget, 2) flowers weren't a top priority and 3) I have terrible floral arrangement skills so doing them myself wasn't going to happen. Thankfully, I came across Petals by Katie! Katie was easy to work with and incredibly sweet. If it took her a few days to get back to my email, it was because she was dedicating her time to another wedding. I appreciated that, since I knew she would focus 100% on my wedding when the time came. Well, the day of our wedding came and I woke up with my very first thought being, "Oh crap! I forgot to account for boutonnieres for my two brothers!" I texted Katie at 7 am and she responded back within minutes saying she will take care of it. I was so grateful for her prompt attention! Thank you, Katie, for being so accommodating throughout the process!

I am so happy I went with Katie for my wedding! She was great in the entire wedding planning process through emails and texts. As it got closer to the wedding, we met over coffee where she had a folder with my mine and my husbands name on it and with our wedding date. Inside she had all our contracts and my inspiration photos. She took notes the entire time to make sure everything will be perfect. It felt so good to know somebody is as organized as I am! The day before the wedding, Katie drove to my hotel to pick up a last minute terrarium I wanted filled with flowers, which was so generous! On the day of, she set up my entire centerpiece including my candles and lantern placements. Every thing she created looked exactly like my Pinterest inspiration photos! Book Katie fast, you will not regret it!

Katie is so TALENTED! She was wonderful to work with and met with us a few times to discuss our floral vision. She kept in touch with us via email all the way up until the wedding and was such a huge help. She nailed our wedding vision and also worked with us to remain within our budget. She is super honest and open with you and tells you when certain flowers may be pricier and what alternatives there are. She's the BEST! Photo Credit: Mazelma Photography

Katie did an amazing job choosing the flowers and colors that I wanted! She also color matched the real flowers and the artificial flowers that I had used for my reception! Thank you so much for everything - you are so good at what you do!

bridesmaid bouquets
Sheerah C.

Katie is a superb florist. Her arrangements SPEAK. If you are a person who is drawn to flowers & uplifted by floral beauty, don't skimp on flowers for your wedding - especially if you are relying on an expert like Katie. Trust me, she'll do a great job. Order your heart out and watch the magic on your wedding day. What I most appreciated about Katie is that she asked for, and was able to create, a super-specific vision for the kinds of flowers, color palette, and styles I hoped to express at the wedding. She scoped out my "flowers" Pinterest page and wrote up a proposal so much more in line with what I wanted than another florist I was considering at the time. She was able to make aisle and lantern garlands exactly as they had appeared in the idealized photos - but she was also able to craft bridal and bridesmaid bouquets in the color palette & style I was drawn to using just her imagination. I went with a loose waterfall bouquet of lavender roses, stargazer lilies, dusty blue succulents and white/navy anemones, all tied together with copper wire. The flowers were in amazing shape. The groom & groomsmen received lavender rose boutonnieres which were also beautifully done. The bridesmaid bouquets were healthy and fresh and resonant with all the colors. The flowers really helped set the tone at our wedding. The one thing I will say: be sure you really look over Katie's initial proposal and figure out EXACTLY what you want, especially in terms of flower types, before you proceed. Undergoing too many renderings (updates to proposals) is time-consuming for florists. So think over the initial proposal, ask as many questions as you want, be totally honest about what you like and aren't sure about, and then make a final decision - rather than agreeing to a proposal immediately and then making edits later. Katie was one of the best choices we made at our wedding. Sign with her - you won't regret it.

My bridal bouquet a week after the wedding
Kathleen B.

Working with Katie was definitely one of the highlights of wedding planning. I had no clue what I wanted other than I knew I wanted succulents. I stopped by Katie's shop in OB and she let me pick out some succulents that I liked. My bouquet turned out amazing. She even put together succulents for my hair as we got ready in the hotel room. And if you are reading this and are a bride planning a wedding I know you are thinking budget ! We did our own centerpieces for the wedding but knew we had to get the personal flowers done professionally. I kid you not when I say that some florists were not too optimistic about my modest budget (450 to 500 ish) for a large bridal party (5 pairs of bridesmaids and groomsmen and 4 pairs of Godparents) Katie did a STELLAR job and I got exactly what I wanted with my bouquet. And she is just a NICE person. I loved talking to her throughout the planning process. My bridesmaids' bouquets and the corsages and boutonniere s also came out great. It is almost a week after the wedding and I am still proudly displaying my bouquet. Thank you Katie !

If I could give 100 stars I would. Katie did the flowers for my wedding on 8/17/13 at the Hotel Indigo. I don't know much about flowers but I knew I wanted flowers that would pop in pictures and not blow my entire wedding budget. I shopped around and Katie was BY FAR the cheapest, most accommodating, friendliest florist I came across. She worked with my budget, sent me lots of ideas, and was always prompt with responses. Katie delivered my flowers to the venue, set up the table vases, and made the day a million times less stressful. I cannot recommend Petals by Katie enough for brides who are looking for gorgeous flowers, on a budget, and a florist who doesn't immediately hear the word wedding and see dollar signs.

Amanda B.

Katie did an AMAZING job on the florals for my wedding! I loved that she was very open to collaborating and made sure to ask my input Even on the day of to ensure that I liked the colors she chose. I was extremely pleased with her artistic ability and she captured my boho theme perfectly! So so sooo happy I found her! Thanks again Katie!

When i found out at 3pm the flowers were not delievered i called to ask why. The calendar on their website at end of month is a rolling calendar vs month youre in so I made a mistake and ordered for March vs February. Fair enough, so since the flowers werent delivered that day before 1, I asked for a refund of the $10 rush fee. The manager, got sassy and was extremely rude with me and told me no. They were sticking with original order. I told her either refund me the $10 rush fee or refund me the entire order of $200 (ish). She said she would rather lose the order than refund me the rush fee. I got my refund and cancelled the entire order. Whomever this mgr is who took my call....she needs a lesson in customer appreciation and not to be sassy when people are calling. 0 stars if possible! in response to the post...i did not ask for a refund of the purchase AND free flowers. I wanted the flowers...why would i want a refund and to deliever the flowers. no one works for free! I wanted a $10 refund but the gal who called me wouldnt listen, was snappy, and short.

This was not indicated at all during the order process so was very off putting to hear day of for a Mother's Day arrangement. I am currently out of state for work and an unknown number was calling my cellphone, it was the delivery driver from a trusted florist that was sublet to take care of my order. The driver was going to deliver to the wrong address even though she read the proper address back to me over the phone. I spent about 10-15 minutes on the phone walking her through finding the location of our home and verified delivery via camera and doorbell. When you're paying a premium price to have something done properly and this is the outcome, it was extremely disappointing. I will not be using four seasons flowers for any special occasion again, big let down on many levels. 5-10-2026: To the owner of the shop that just replied back to my review. I am not sure how much more clear I can make this to you, the CORRECT address was provided and everything was filled out appropriately on my end, I am not understanding why you are harping on the fact that this was an online order, if your operation doesn't have the capacity to accommodate this then don't offer it as a service. There is absolutely NO difference in placing an order in person, over the phone and or online. The "trusted" florist you decided to pawn this order off on still attempted to deliver to the WRONG address. Nothing about this was as a success and I cannot believe you have the audacity in a public platform to try and deflect the way that you are. I spent 10-15 minutes on the phone with an elderly delivery driver explaining to her very kindly, that wherever she was going was not the correct address, I am struggling to understand what about this are you not understanding? I am absolutely flabbergasted that instead of reaching back out in attempt to correct the issues, especially in a review, this is your stance. Your address is irrelevant when you're listed as one of the top rated florists in San Diego, if you didn't know, Chula Vista is 100% part of the city. Adding photos for context, maybe you want to rethink your "trusted" partnership approach. Pretty ridiculous again your take on things. Will NEVER be using your shop again and will be sure to spread the word to friends and family to steer clear of your establishment! Very funny that the florist is claiming this is the first email they received, my first communication to them was not the one they decided to include in their review, don't believe everything you read. The owner is incredibly defensive and does all that she can to deflect and spin any negative review to benefit her operation. Go and check yelp and google and get a kick out of it if you have time. The only thing good that came of this after airing things out publicly was a refund.
