I live in Indiana, but I wanted to shop locally when buying a Mother's Day gift for my mom who lives in Riverside County. So I bought a succulent arrangement from Urban Succulents (Succulently Urban) for Mother's Day, and I am so happy with my decision! The arrangement shipped very quickly, it arrived before Mother's Day, and my mom was so pleased with the beautiful succulent arrangement. From start to finish, Urban Succulents was great. Their website was easy to use, and the whole purchasing process was seamless. If you're looking to send a succulent or cactus arrangement to someone, I highly recommend this company! read more

Overall disappointed. I was very excited about this delivery from the pictures on their website, but unfortunately I learned that is not what they actually give your loved one/friend. The florist advised to add my requests in the note section, but even with the note requesting a zebra succulent or something else if a zebra succulent was unavailable, it was nothing as advertised. I was especially shocked to find they stuck a bright pink carnation in the 3 succulent arrangement versus a 3rd small succulent. I did add a second star for fast shipping. read more

Just gorgeous. Everything about the order was perfect. I ordered a succulent box delivery for a birthday gifts I'm so grateful to your business for making it so easy, even from far away. Recommend highly. I will be a repeat customer. Thanks again! read more

I cannot recommend this florist enough! I just had my wedding in Nestldown in Los Gatos and I absolutely loved my bouquet. It was shipped perfectly to me two days before my wedding along with my bridesmaids bouquets. It was gorgeous and I even planted it after my wedding. It was a little heavy, but with endorphins running high that day I barely noticed. Its also helpful that they don't wilt or need water before your big day. read more

She is so easy to work with, responsive, professional, compassionate and talented. She made this an easy task for us during such a difficult time, and I will absolutely use her business again. She does gorgeous designs. And we received so many compliments. read more

I loved the bouquet and boutonniere that Maria Luisa made for us. The only thing was that I mentioned that I needed flowers that last at least 4 days, which all of them did, but the rose she put on it. Besides that I think I got a beautiful bouquet. Got many people saying "I love your flowers" read more

Even though succulent weddings are definitely trendier nowadays, it surprisingly wasn't easy to find florists who were comfortable incorporating succulents into arrangements. So we were glad to stumble upon Succulently Urban's website, where we fell in love with the pictures. Since my husband and I are both Arizona transplants and acclimated to very dry environments, we felt that succulents suited our personalities nicely. Plus, neither of us felt that spending thousands of dollars to kill an excess of flowers for a single day was necessary (but no judgment there...). We ended up getting the bridal bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages, and various other arrangements for extra decor. Luckily, my husband is in the San Diego area, so we were able to pick up the pieces, which made me more comfortable than I would have been shipping it to our L.A.-based wedding. I was concerned that picking up the plants a couple of days earlier would be risky (I have a black thumb), but Marialuisa gave me simple and complete instructions so that even I couldn't kill them. Marialuisa is also very responsive, and even though I placed my order less than 10 days before the wedding, she really came through for us. The only issue was that she got our pick-up date mixed up, which was why this isn't a five-star review. Also, one of the succulents got knocked off my husband's boutonniere in all of the family embracing, but no one could really tell. Overall, the final arrangements were so stunning that I would still recommend Succulently Urban. Besides the fact that we saved more than $1K from not having traditional floral arrangements that we wouldn't have really liked, we got some cool plants that are still alive and beautiful one month after the wedding. read more

Loved loved loved my bouquets and boutonnieres! I'm not a flower person so looked to find a vendor who did succulents and came across Urban Succulents. This was decently priced and I had so many people asking who I used because these were so unique compared to other "flowers". read more

Quick response and excellent communication from the florist and delivery person. Arrangement came in rustic wooden box filled with gorgeous succulents for our daughters 20th bday while she is attending a SDSU. She already received several compliments and someone liked it so much they sent a pic of the bouquet to drop a Valentine's Day hint. Our daughter loves that the succulent arrangement will last longer than fresh flowers too. Perfect gift from out of town parents! Thank you! read more

My now wife and I had Marialuisa from Succulently Urban do our wedding recently, and if it was possible to give more than 5 stars we would. We didn't like the idea of doing flowers for our wedding that are dead as soon as they're cut, plus succulents seemed more appropriate for San Diego. So when we saw that Marialuisa does wedding succulent arrangements we booked her, and wow, what a good decision. Her bouquet and boutonnieres were nice, but her centerpieces really were the highlight of the entire wedding. All we did was give her a basic description of what we wanted, and she put together these amazing succulent arrangements in a big globe, with sand that matched our wedding colors. Our guests all wanted to take them home, so much that my mom is still trying to figure out a way we could ship one to her across the country. What's even better is the succulents are still alive, just like we wanted! After the wedding we took apart all of the bouquets and boutonnieres and replanted them in pots in our backyard, and now we can enjoy our wedding succulents for hopefully many years. read more

Marialuisa does beautiful work with vibrant, healthy plants! Our wedding was last weekend, and we ordered the bouquet, corsages, boutonnieres and centerpieces from Succulently Urban. Marialuisa worked with my mother-in-law to create exactly what we needed for the event. I loved the bouquet and have replanted all the succulents to keep as mementos. We appreciated how artistically each piece was assembled and how every piece had been packaged with care, so that they arrived healthy and ready to go. They even came with care instructions that our guests appreciated. Thank you, Marialuisa and Succulently Urban, for making our big day so beautiful. read more

I worked with Marialuisa for my wedding and was thrilled with how everything turned out. Our bouquets, boutonnières, and centerpieces were beautiful! My favorite thing about the centerpieces is that unlike most wedding arrangements, these are all planted and still be enjoyed by friends and family! read more

Marialuisa did an AMAZING job with her succulent arrangements for my wedding. We used her designs for all the bouquets, boutionnieres, corsages, and centerpieces for the tables. We also ordered a flat of small succulents to give away as favors (and I also put people's names on these succulents with wine corks, so they doubled as escort cards...smart idea, BTW!). Everyone adored these designs. We got compliments on them all weekend, and people were thrilled that they got to take home a piece of the wedding...one that can be grown, too! We ordered a lot of centerpieces, so people close to us also got to take home some of those cool wood or slate pieces that she does. I love succulents, but Marialuisa makes them shine. My wedding bouquet, for instance, was a handful of succulents with baby's breath, yellow flowers, and a bright pink cactus in the middle. So cool! I kept hearing how unique it was. I can't wait to get the pictures back so I can look at them all again. Oh, but the coolest part about having succulents in your wedding...THEY'RE STILL ALIVE! Yes, not only did my succulents thrive all wedding weekend, but they're all still alive now -- a lot of them scattered throughout the homes of my family and friends. My bouquets are growing in my mother-in-law's backyard at this very moment :) Marialuisa is a super sweet, creative, and flexible vendor -- and her prices make her unbeatable. I promise you won't regret hiring her for your wedding! read more

I bought small succulent plants wedding favors from Succulently Urban. Most wedding favors goes to trash so I wanted something which my guest can appreciate and plant in the garden & they look cute as well. The reason I liked Succulently Urban was because it's a local vendor in the heart of San Diego. I didn't had to travel hours to get to Marialuisa's place to pick the plants and didn't had to deal with the hassle of receiving it in the mail. Secondly, plants were very reasonable priced. I asked her about watering the plants because my wedding was in 3 weeks. She told me to water the plant 1 time and 1 week from the time I bought it. The plant started to die after 1 & half weeks. 1 of the plants just fall apart and the rest started getting black/brown edges and looked wilted. Here I am expecting succulents to be tough plants but less than 2 weeks from purchasing them, these plants were dying. It was total waste of my money. I didn't give anything for wedding favors because I didn't had time to figure something else and I wasn't going to embarrass myself with these half dead plants. It was a bummer because I really wanted to do something different for the wedding favors. What a waste of money & time! :( read more

The bouquets and boutineers provided by Urban Succulents were beautiful and were a perfect fit to the color theme of our wedding. Throughout the night my wife received many compliments on the bouquets. The size and number of succulents contained in her bridal bouquet filled it out nicely even though it was a bit on the heavy side the look is well worth the weight. I highly recommend Urban Succulents for their high quality and solidly constructed succulent arrangements. read more

We used Succulently Urban for our wedding and it was so great! We bought tons of stuff and all of it was beautiful. It was our fortune that Marialuisa happens to operate out of San Diego, which is where our wedding took place, so we were able to pick up everything the day before the wedding. Everything was cohesive and beautiful. I'm thrilled with everything and am so happy that I was able to replant my bouquet, hair comb, and my husband's boutonniere so that I can have them forever. Thank you, Marialuisa! read more

We are so happy that we went green with our wedding "flowers"! Thank you Marialuisa! read more

I had a terrible experience with Succulently Urban. Two weeks before the wedding, I placed an order for a bouquet, boutonniere, and hair comb to be shipped to the hotel I was staying at in Las Vegas. A week before the wedding, I sent an e-mail to Marialuisa requesting that my fiance's name be added to the package so that either one of us could pick it up when it arrived at the hotel. This e-mail also contained the correct mailing address. I did not receive a response so I figured it was a go. The day before the wedding (Friday), the package was supposed to arrive. We had been driving from the Grand Canyon to Vegas, and been out of cellular reception all week. I checked my messages and Marialuisa left message on Tuesday asking when on Friday I'd like to receive the package, and then saw that on Wednesday it had been shipped out with a tracking number, for two day shipping. On Friday, around 8am, I tracked the package and saw that it was undeliverable due to an issue with the address. So I called USPS to figure out what was going on, and waited on the phone for 20 minutes before I was able to talk to a customer service agent, only to have the call drop because I was still on the highway with poor reception. I asked a family member to call, who was already in Vegas, and he waited on the phone for another 25 minutes, only for the agent to tell him that the package was mislabeled with an incorrect address and it MIGHT be at the Martin Luther Blvd post office at 4:30, so we could try checking then to see if it would be there. In between this, I sent Marialuisa a text message to tell her about this, and we briefly conversed on the phone. She told me to try calling USPS to track down the package. At this point, I was freaking out and we were still a couple hours away from Vegas, on the highway. When we arrived, we had to pick up our marriage license and I received a couple more texts from Marialuisa saying that she had mislabeled the package and the address was incorrect. When I checked the tracking, I saw that she missed a zero on the address, which lead to the system providing the wrong zip code. What really frustrated me was that, the correct shipping address was provided to her twice, once when I purchased the order, and again when I had sent the e-mail asking to add my fiance's name, which wasn't even added when I checked the tracking. Marialuisa did call USPS to have to correct address added to the package, but only after I sent her a frustrated text saying that she should be the one calling USPS to have this issue corrected because it was her error and she was the sender. USPS told her that the package might be at another post office different than what USPS told my family member. So my predicament was that this package may or may not be at two different post offices?! What I really wanted to do after driving for several hours is to go hunting around the city in the blazing heat for my wedding flowers, the day before the wedding, with no guarantees that I would even find the flowers. After two hours of visiting the post offices (and paying for parking), I found out that the package had already been returned to sender. During the hunt, I sent Marialuisa several text messages about how I would like a full refund if I did not receive the package by Saturday morning. She never addressed my request, but did apologize for her error. Anyway, I was BEYOND livid. So I had to go find new wedding flowers last minute, which was another errand I really wanted to do before the wedding. I had sent about 5 text messages to Marialuisa without any response. On Saturday, the day of the wedding, I did receive a full refund with an apology e-mail. My impressions on this business was that the transaction was completely unprofessional. I figured ordering flowers online would be easy because I had been traveling around the U.S. for a month and was unable to actually visit a florist, but in this instance, it was way easier to go to an actual florist in person and buy flowers. This was a waste of my time and I found it completely frustrating that Marialuisa did not initially accept accountability for her error. read more

Thanks Marialuisa! The center pieces were amazing and I received several comments from the guests asking where they came from. Great job and thanks again!!!! read more

Marialuisa, the owner of Succulently Urban, is such a delight! I had to send two thank you gifts to some friends in San Diego, and I wanted to find something unique, and in the area, to keep shipping costs low. I found Succulently Urban online, and the web site showed some lovely gift ideas. I found that calling and talking to Marialuisa was very helpful, as I told her what I was envisioning and she brought it to life. She also worked with me on lowering the shipping costs. Most awesomely, she delivered the items I ordered THE DAY I ordered them. I was floored when my friend sent me a thank you text just two hours after I placed my order. This is a lovely, local, small business that you will feel good about supporting. read more

Marialuisa does beautiful work with succulents! I ordered a 7" succulent gift box online for local pick-up, and it was even more beautiful than the photos on the website! I am so happy to have found this business! I live in La Mesa, and am glad that there is finally a place to get exceptional, modern florals in East County! My succulent gift was the talk of the party, and the recipient was overjoyed! Thank you Marialuisa for being an integral part in making my gift so extra special! read more

I found Succulently Urban on Etsy and was thrilled to see they were located in San Diego. I reached out to Marialuisa via phone and was impressed with her quick response. It was a last minute order, but she was very accommodating and was happy to work with me. She made me a beautiful bouquet, succulent crown and a boutinerre, for my courthouse wedding in San Diego. I was thrilled with her work! I highly recommend her for any events where succulents would be needed. You will not be disappointed with her product or the excellent customer service. read more

I placed an order online for a birthday present for my mom. The succulent box was delivered later that same day and is beautiful. She loves it! Thank you Succulently Urban! read more

I was extremely disappointed with this company. I ordered flowers from this vendor months before my wedding. The few weeks prior to my wedding I was checking everything to make sure everything looked good. I noticed that Marialuisa hadn't added the cake flowers to the quote. I emailed her to update the quote to include them. No response. I called her and left a message a few days later. No response. I called her and left another message and waited another few days. No response. I decided to cancel my order and go with another vendor. I called and left a message that I was cancelling. Within minutes she returned my call and left me a message begging me not to cancel. Sent an email as well blaming the holidays as an excuse for her to ignore my requests 3 separate times over the course of 2 weeks and decided to include " if you are going away from succulents and going to flowers, succulents offer a longer lasting memory" as if she is the only florist that offers succulents. I do not doubt that this vendor creates beautiful flowers. However, her communication abilities are lacking. 1-2 business days is an acceptable turn around to respond to a request. I would have even accepted a "I'm extremely busy at the moment and will answer your question shortly." I had no idea if she was even going to complete my order. I had no choice but to go elsewhere. So be prepared that you're taking a risk. She may make beautiful flower arrangements, but she may not respond to any of your requests. Are you ready to take that gamble? I wasn't. read more

I always knew that I wanted to have succulent bouquets at my wedding. I came across her website as I was trying to find what I wanted. Her designs were perfect! And she was located in San Diego So I could pick up instead of having it shipped, which made me a lot more comfortable. Marialuisa is very sweet and she takes pride in her work. She will customize anything to your needs. I couldn't have been happier with my bridal bouquet! read more

I ordered my bridal bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets, boutionnieres, and corsages from Marialuisa, and she did an amazing job! I love succulents and have always wanted a succulent bouquet for my wedding. The best part about them is that they are hardy. They withstood the overnight delivery from Southern CA to Northern CA, and the day until the wedding! Even the filler flowers were still lush and vibrant. After the wedding, I was able to plant my bouquet and make a keepsake garden :) Marialuisa was great to work with. She was very responsive and we spoke on the phone a few times about what I would like my bouquets to look like. I gave her creative freedom over the designs and just told her the theme and colors of the wedding -- and that I love orange (cue the orange filler flowers!). She showed me some samples beforehand, but I didn't see the finished product until we checked into our hotel the night before the wedding! They turned out better than I could imagine. read more

All around amazing! I recently placed an order with Succulently Urban on Etsy and I could not have been happier with the entire experience! Marialuisa was helpful and professional throughout the entire process and I received my order right when I needed it! Excellent customer service! She was responsive and made me feel like I was always at the top of her list! The wreaths I ordered were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I asked for! I will definitely use Succulently Urban again! Thank you, thank you! read more

I purchased both a bouquet and a boutonniere. Both were beautiful and well made. They purchased approximately a week and a half prior to the wedding, but Marialuisa had no problem satisfying the order. read more

I wanted something unique - a succulent wedding - using succulents as flowers and MariaLuisa is the best out there. Fortunate for me, she was local and could deliver from San Diego to the Temecula Valley Wine Country. Everything from the succulent arrangements that adorned our gazebo, to the slate centerpieces with succulents atop, to our succulent terrariums on our gift tables, to our succulent give-aways in glass pots, to our amazing succulent bouquets with dainty colorful flowers that accented our wedding colors... it was truly masterfully designed and prepared. And the best part, I have planted every succulent afterwards in our garden, where they will continue to flourish. I have deep gratitude to MariaLuisa for making our wedding a truly succulent wedding! read more

Wonderful customer service, Marialuisa answered all of our questions, including the names of the succulents she used in our bouquet and boutonniere. They came two days before our wedding and actually stayed fresh and nice a few days after our wedding. My husband has planted the succulents into a pot that we had guests sign. Marialuisa is amazing! read more

Marialuisa did a wonderful job! I told her what I was looking for...small bouquet for me, small bridesmaids bouquets and bouts for the men. I gave her some ideas and she took it from there! The flowers came in a well packaged box (all the way to Wisconsin), making sure all succulents were safe and intact. I would for sure contact her again for future business! read more

I would highly recommend this place. I live in Ohio and Marialuisa made sure that the succulents arrived on time. She even sent another order when there was a problem with the tracking. I ended up getting both packages within a day of each other and instead of having me send the succulents back, she let me keep them! She was so friendly and helpful and really helped to make our wedding beautiful. I really appreciate your help and all of my friends and family loved being able to take home the extra succulent arrangements! read more

I've never written a bad review and so I had to think long and hard before I decided to do this but because I don't want another bride or mother-of-the bride to go through what I did, I decided to go ahead and write this review. I saw Marialuisa do a demonstration about a year ago and thought she did a great job. In particular it seemed that she took care in how she shipped her bouquets, I decided she was the person to make our daughter's wedding bouquets and related items. I think she is capable of great work, but it was her response when things didn't go as planned, was an indicator to me that she really didn't understand customer service. 1) I had asked her to send the bouquets 2 days before the wedding. I am not sure but without notifying me, she sent them one day before the wedding. Since we were going to be at the wedding rehearsal, one day in advance presented problems, but since it was out of my control, I hoped for the best. Unfortunately the USPS messed up and the package did not overnight as Marialuisa had assured me. 2) I understand that it wasn't her fault the USPS failed but if she had sent it when I had requested, it would have at least come the day before the wedding. I scrambled around found some flowers for my daughter (it wasn't great because if was Friday afternoon). 3) Saturday, early morning of the wedding, I logged into the USPS website to see that the package had arrived at the post office at 5:30am (it was 6am). I decided to try and see if I could get into the post office and plead with someone to let me have the box. Due to the kindness of a postal worker on the loading dock, I got the box. I then drove to the wedding and opened the box. The packaging and the bouquets and related items were very damaged inside the box. We couldn't use one wrist corsage and one boutineer. The bridal bouquet had obviously been bouncing around the box because some of the succulents were very black on the tips. The bouquets had not been packaged well. Leaves had fallen off the bouquets and one side was completely smashed. Our daughter had her heart set on a succulent bouquet and so we took pictures with the bouquet turned enough so the smashed side won't show in pictures 3) Because I had a wedding, guests, relatives (ya know, a lot to do) I told Marialuisa that I would get back to her until Monday when I calmed down. 4) her position and response to me was very disappointing. Because I had accepted the package, this somehow made it partly my responsibility. How was I to know the plants were going to be so damaged, I had to get to the wedding. She had sent me an email asking me to not accept the package but I read it after I had gone to the post office. 4) I sent her pictures but apparently not enough and she response was very cavalier. All vendors can make mistakes but how they respond when things go bad, tells you if they are a good business, this was not the case. Please don't use this vendor. read more
