After talking to several florists in both LA and Temecula for my upcoming wedding, and after 3(!) of them flaked on me, I found Jolene at the Dutch Flower via Yelp and I am SO glad I did! I'm very picky about florals and had a very specific vision for my bouquets and centerpieces (not typical wedding flowers), and after sitting down for 45 minutes with Jolene and showing her my Pinterest pics, she sent me back a detailed proposal and quote of what she would create for our wedding, and it was even better than I could've imagined. Not only were her prices way more affordable than everyone else's, her proposal was much more detailed and beautiful than any other one I had received--she just "got it." She understood my vision of having a rustic enchanted garden outdoorsy wedding with succulents and ranunculus, and then made it a million times better--it's not surprising that she's not just a florist, she treats floral arrangement as an art (and has arrangements in museums). You can see that in all of her works-- they are much more creative and interesting and beautiful than other standard florists. Plus she was fantastic to work with, professional, and very generous.
I wanted to use our own mason jars for some of the centerpieces, so she went out of her way the day before my wedding to come and pick them up for me. My bridesmaids and I absolutely loved our bouquets, and the groomsmen their boutinierres, plus Jolene even threw in an extra toss bouquet for free (something other places would charge another $75 for!). I got many compliments on our centerpiece arrangements, and she even gave us some free extra flowers just to spruce up any empty corners of our wedding site. Of all the things I was worried about not coming together for our wedding, I knew I could relax about the flowers & that she would do a great job on them--and that in itself was priceless. Indeed, she was amazing. I highly recommend anybody getting married in the nearby area to use the Dutch Flower! read more
