Diane at Sonrisa Blooms was an absolute dream to work with! After speaking to her on the phone we sat up a consultation at her shop and I came with a list of many different things I wanted for my wedding. She helped me wrangle my grandiose ideas based on what was available during the season of my wedding, all while keeping my budget in mind. This was far from an easy task but she was so patient and gave me all the time I needed. Her shop is so sweet and simple, what you see is what you get. She buys all her products fresh when you order them and the quality is unbeatable. During our first consultation I mentioned how much I loved chocolate sunflowers and wanted to include them in my bouquets, but Diane told me they were very hard to come by and pricey so we decided against them and moved on. We kept planning and meeting, crunching numbers and picking out product. Every time I had a new idea I called her or went to the shop and she was so warm and welcoming and helped me figure out how to make my vision come to life. Any time we interacted she made me her number one priority. She gave me her undivided attention and I was more than just a job to her. She genuinely cared about me as a bride/person and did everything she could to make sure my wedding flowers were exactly what I wanted.
Diane told me one of her favorite things to do is personally hand deliver flowers to her brides on their wedding day. When the products for my wedding flowers came in, she sent me a sweet text to tell me how excited she was and it just reaffirmed I was in good hands! When she arrived to deliver flowers on my wedding day she had me close my eyes and put my bouquet in my hands, and when I opened my eyes I was blown away. My flowers were stunning! She had taken bits and pieces of all the photos I had shown her and listened to all the things I desired and brought it all to life. As I rotated my bouquet to examine all the flowers, what I saw brought me to tears! There, in all their glory, were those chocolate sunflowers I loved so much! I had only mentioned them one time, months earlier, and Diane remembered and hunted them down to surprised me. Not only were they in my bouquet but also in all the bridesmaid's bouquets and in the floral spray she made for our ceremony centerpiece as well. All the boutonnieres and corsages were gorgeous and full and put together with care and detail. She pinned all the flowers on all the groomsmen, designed our lavish centerpiece and cake toppers on site and even helped move our outdoor event inside when it rained unexpectedly. I couldn't have asked for more.
To say Diane went above and beyond is an understatement. Not only is her work phenomenal, she is kind, patient and bring sunshine wherever she goes. I will never use another florist as long as she is in business. She gained a faithful customer and I think we both gained a friend! I guarantee you will not be disappointed when you use Diane at Sonrisa Blooms! I wish I could give her 10 stars!!! She deserves every single one of them! read more
