The owner Karim was so sweet and knowledgeable. We were talking there for a few minutes and she was explaining how she personally goes out and picks her flowers from local vendors. I could have easily placed the order over the phone, but I wanted to drop off a card to be delivered as well and the owner was so nice about delivering that too. When the delivery day came, the driver kept me updated with everything and confirmed when they were dropped off at her office along with a picture of where it was left. I loved this place so much, I wouldn't mind driving from SSF to Alameda again for that special someone!

Instead she said it would be ready in thirty minutes. The arrangement looked exactly like the photo online and the flowers were fresh and beautifully put together. The service, speed, and quality all exceeded my expectations. Prices are reasonable and the customer care is outstanding. I highly recommend this shop and will definitely return.

But it wasn't just the beauty of the arrangements that impressed me most - it was the heart, thought, and care that went into every single piece, and that really shined through on the day of. We inquired over a year in advance after seeing Lana's work at The Club at Ruby Hill wedding open house. Lana was responsive and took the time to go over everything I was envisioning for the day, from centerpieces to arches to aisle pieces to bouquets. When I brought up the idea of a floral chandelier, Lana was so excited to bring my vision to life and work with me to create the chandelier of my dreams, which was refreshing, since some other florists I'd inquired with weren't as enthusiastic about the idea. Lana is also super transparent with pricing, going through line by line what each piece would cost, and I found her rates very reasonable for the luxurious arrangements she offers. I also loved that I'd be able to reuse my ceremony arch and aisle pieces at the reception to surround the sweetheart table, which felt very much worth it. We also got a one-hour in-person design meeting with Lana about a month before the wedding, where she prepped a sample centerpiece and made real-time adjustments to her floral recipe based on our preferences. She was so receptive and detail-oriented, going over small things like where to leave the bouquets and boutonnieres on the day of, plus all the candle and centerpiece base options we could choose from. We were feeling a little burnt out from wedding planning by that point in our lives, but Lana left us with renewed enthusiasm and excitement for our wedding. On wedding day, Lana and her team were there bright and early. I think the first sight of the florals brought me to tears. They worked hard all day to transform the venue into the pink peachy princess wedding of my dreams. The team also added smaller bud vases to my In Loving Memory table and Sweetheart table, which was such a sweet touch. Despite being so busy, Lana still took the time to secure my personal bouquet charm so it wouldn't dangle around and would stay in place. I also found out afterward that our welcome banner was falling due to the wind, and Lana took the time to secure it with rope, even though it was completely outside her scope. It really speaks to her character, and I couldn't be more grateful to Lana and the team for a perfect day. Dream Flowers really was an absolute dream to work with. I would highly recommend Lana and the team for any of your future floral needs!!

First off, the arrangements: we're talking show-stoppers, conversation-starters, "Where did you get that?!" kind of arrangements. It's like each bouquet tells a story, with every flower playing its part. Every arrangement is an adventure because you're bound to discover something new and breathtaking. They're the most unique, eye-catching varieties you've ever seen. And the flowers are picked at the perfect time so they stay fragrant long after they've arrived (often by bicycle!) and always last a surprisingly long time. Even their vases aren't just containers; they're pieces of art. Each vase complements their floral masterpieces in a way that elevates the whole arrangement. We're talking about unique shapes, textures, and colors that turn an already beautiful bouquet into a standout piece of decor. If you're looking to give a memorable gift that your recipient will rave about, make a statement, or just treat yourself to some beauty, Gorgeous and Green is THE place. Trust me, once you go Gorgeous and Green, there's no going back.

However, this last order really showed the difference between Gorgeous and Green and what you might get elsewhere. I had ordered flowers for my partner's birthday. Unfortunately, Pilar made a mistake and delivered the flowers several days early. Any person or business will eventually make a mistake, its much more telling how they handle these situations than whether or not they happen at all. Pilar immediately said "no problem, take these now and I will still deliver another arrangement on the correct date, no extra charge". No only did Pilar follow through on her commitment but the second arrangement was also unique and beautiful! I'm super appreciative of her dedication, craft, and thoughtful service. I will absolutely be getting more flowers from her in the future. Did I mention that every arrangement I've gotten always lasts well over a week? Surpassingly fabulous!

From the moment we walked in on our wedding day, the florals were nothing short of stunning and dripping with the elegance we had always imagined. What set Ashley and Katie apart was their extraordinary attention to detail. Every arrangement was thoughtfully crafted, but what really blew us away was that they customized each table arrangement to match the theme of its individual table card. Guests loved it so much that they made it a mission to see what each and every table looked like. It's that level of care and artistry that elevates florals into something truly unforgettable. Ashley and Katie's quality, professionalism, and creative talent speak for themselves. They listened, they understood our vision, and then they exceeded it (and even came in clutch for a last second arrangement for the bridal shower)! Six months later, people still talk about how they have never seen flowers as beautiful as they saw at our wedding. If you are looking for a florist who approaches their craft like a true artist, we cannot recommend Ash + Oak highly enough.

When it was my turn to get married, I asked for a quote but couldn't get myself to spend thousands of dollars on flowers, so I ended up using another florist for my COVID wedding ceremony. Almost a year later we had our delayed wedding reception and after planning one wedding, I decided to spend money the second time around on things I loved - the top being flowers. I hired Ash + Oak this time and I was SO PLEASED. Not only did they provide beautiful flowers for us on our wedding day, but they were also extremely professional leaving me with little to worry about outside of telling them the color scheme I preferred. They worked with my day-of-coordinator for arrival time and when I arrived at my reception, all the flowers were in place. I had seen many photos, so I trusted their design and gave them little instruction. I asked them for a summery feel with a romantic color pallet with blush, mauve, accents of yellow/blue and they delivered! I couldn't stop staring at the wedding bouquet when we were taking photos!! I received so many complements (including from my grand-aunt who is extra picky about flowers). I am so thankful for their craft, design, and eye. Looking back at the photos of the flowers makes my heart so happy! Thank you Ash + Oak!
