Custom bouquet
Devon F.

10/10 highly recommend getting your bouquets from The Empty Vase! First of all the shop itself is so charming, and I am super grateful for Natalie who helped me assemble a custom bouquet within my budget for my friend's art show. The theme was "Leather and Blood" and my friend absolutely loved them :)

A thank you note to Mike. My one year wedding anniversary is coming up and I reflected on what made our day so memorable and I'd have to say our flowers brought a tremendous amount of joy. Mike with Empty Vase was my direct contact throughout my planning. To give you a few notes. I planned our wedding in like 3 months and my budget for flowers was non existent. But let me tell you, no one at the wedding would have known that. I had the most beautiful flowers and the best experience thanks to Mike. Mike was genuinely kind, an absolute joy to converse with and collaborate with. I gave him my ideas and budget and he made it happen. He was so easy to communicate with, very on top of everything and never made me feel like I wasn't in the loop. I'm very responsive and really appreciate updates and he did exactly that. Thank You Mike for such a lovely experience and bringing my vision to life. The flowers were stunning and I love looking at photos to this day. Thank you for your kindness and patience with me! Forever an Empty Vase Fan

Thanksgiving Floral Arrangement! Gorgeousness!! November 2025.

This is a wayyyyyy long overdue review on this iconic florist. I've been a client of Empty Vase for over a decade. Their arrangements are stunning! Customer service can be spotty, but the floral design, they have always used the freshest and highest quality of flowers possible. I've never had any issues with them. I've always been specific, and always dealt with open communication with them, and I've never been disappointed. In my experience, you can't go wrong with this amazing business. Are they pricey!?? HELL, YEAH!!! Will their designs knock your socks off??? Absolutely! You send something from Empty Vase to someone, you mean serious business! If you call in an order, sometimes there's a wait, but as long as you're specific with your budget, your colors, your theme, and other details, you will not be disappointed. Ordering online is a bit easier. And on big holidays like Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Christmas, order ahead. Great website, too! So, overall, they're worth every penny! When you send an Empty Vase floral arrangement, you won't be forgotten. Unbelievable selection, and incredible quality! 5 Stars!!!

Charming flower spot in West Hollywood - pretty vast and beautiful selection to chose from. You are drawn into the store because of the beautiful flowers and plants seen from inside. Once inside you discover so much more candles, vases, inspirations books, decorations you name it - everything compliments the main attraction the beautiful flowers and greenery. The Saturday we were roaming around the place was filled with folks getting bouquets, placing orders for delivery and just browsing. The atmosphere among the fresh flowers and plants in calming and relaxing. Showing up to a friends house or to give to a loved one, you will not be disappointed. If i had space for a plant giraffe i would honestly have bought it on the spot, instead i walked out with a beautiful bouquet of flowers that are still making me smile today!

This review is long overdue. In December the night before my husband and I eloped, I arrived at the store about 15 minutes before closing. I wanted to make my own bouquet and the Trader Joe's flowers I had purchased before weren't cutting it. They had a beautiful selection of flowers sold by the stem. I picked out my favorites, and the owner helped wrapped them up. When he asked me what the occasion was, and I told him, he just gave me this knowing look and pushed the flowers toward me and told me it was on the house. The day of the wedding I couldn't stop gushing about how kind the owner was. Even now when I look at my flowers, this act of generosity sticks in my mind. My only regret is that I didn't keep the flowers exactly as he threw them together casually when he wrapped them up for me. Anyway, thank you so much for this wonderful memory.

Thank you

I had a few surgeries in the past 1 1/2 years , and each time I was sent these beautiful orchids and chocolates by loving friends!!! The picture doesn't do them justice...they are beautiful, vibrant, healthy orchids...so elegantly arranged! And Huge!!! I was moved to tears each time I received them!!! And the best part is because they aren't cut flowers...they last on and on for months!!! Thank you Empty Vase (LA), for your fabulous work!!!

Be Kind Always........

Have been wanting to stop by The Empty Vase home store for a while now and finally I got a chance today. Absolutely beautiful. Everything they carry is gorgeous. From the unique vases to the most unique flowers. They also have a nice collection of floral books for sale. Got myself 2 nice ones. I love this store. It makes me happy.

THE. ABSOLUTE. WORST. (1 star is too many stars) Years ago, I received a stunning arrangement from this place, leading me to trust them for future deliveries. However, long story short, they consistently fail to deliver what I order and instead offer subpar substitutes. The quality is nowhere near the prices they charged. Fast forward a year and despite my reservations, I give them another chance today for a special birthday delivery, only to be let down AGAIN! Of course they didn't have the flowers that they use to lure you in online and they again promised a beautiful alternative. Thankfully, I asked for a photo before it went out for delivery, only to be presented with a laughable attempt at something comparable. I called and told them absolutely not, at this point it's later in the day and since it's being delivered to an office I needed it delivered asap. So they offer to send a bouquet already made, which I reluctantly agreed to based on a picture they sent me. In the end the birthday girl had to stay late at work on her birthday waiting for this delivery, she couldn't enjoy them throughout the day and literally was JUST told after she finally received them, they left the price tag on it!!! I'm done. It's my fault for giving them yet another chance. I will never support their business again, and if asked, I will actively discourage others from ordering from this overpriced, overhyped, and utterly disappointing place.

Gorgeous Thanksgiving centerpiece.

The most beautiful arrangements. I've used them for years. I had a misunderstanding when placing my Thanksgiving centerpiece order this year and accidentally purchased a one sided arrangement rather than one that had flowers all the way around. This morning, Empty Vase picked them up and re-arranged the florals for me. My centerpieces are beyond stunning.

See all

"Oh, Mickey…read more.. You're so fine! You're so fine, you blow my mind! Hey Mickey! Hey Mickey!" Mickey Hargitay Plants is the coolest little big plant store, plant nursery, garden center and serene landscaping places I've ever seen. From the pure vibrant vibes to the incredible staff that make this gem thrive. Tucked away in Hollywood on the cusp of West Hollywood off of Sycamore Ave and Fountain Avenue, just a small skip east from La Brea Avenue. They're open from 9 AM until 5:30 PM all 7 days of the week. And carry plants, planters, gardening essentials and wonderoud things of all shapes and sizes. I've been passing by frequently for nearly two months on my way to work usually before they're open or after they're closed on as I make my way home and finally got to stop in and explore. That wave of calm, relaxation and vibrance that being around nature and all it's planty goodness lives here in abundance. Explore in person, place orders for pick up or even delivery. Mickey Hargitay has a rich history to match it's ambiance since it's birth in 1980, starting off with succulents, cacti and their own macrame designs Voted one of the best places to buy plants in 2015. Featured in the L.A. Times in 2016. Featured in Voyage LA in 2021. Not to mention a great spotlight in 2025. Founded and owned by Mickey Hartigay Jr. a fellow Sag and plant lover like myself. He and every single person here is a gem, I picked up on nothing but good energy even after the end of a long day and rainy weekend everyone here does their best to bring a slice of joy to each person. Ringing up my assortment right as they were closing they still didn't miss a beat. Hoping to stop in a lot more (scheduling pending) and get to know everyone, find more plants for the house as well as a new plant for my boyfriends place of even bring him in to explore. Pup friendly. Family friendly And very much open to all. Recently started following their Insta and I'm "obsessulated!" Easy parking in the neighborhood, street parking primarily or an easy stroll in closeby, riding the metro or parked off La Brea. Four new very healthy plants in various sizes for under $20... Insert all the heart eyes and plant emojis here!!

I have heard about this place from others but never checked it out until recently. I love plants…read moreand collect as a hobby. This was a 30 minute drive for me but that's nothing when it comes to enjoying a walk through some awesome plants. There isn't much parking and you have to find a spot on the street. Upon entering the property you are consumed with lush and rare greenery. I found many sought after plants and they were priced accordingly. There are many areas in their outdoor area as well as inside the greenhouse. Most plants have a price on the pot of on a tray if there are multiples. There is also a pottery shop although I didn't go in there. I could have easily left with a car full of plants but was able to exercise restraint and only left with a sweet Hoya Polyneura. Hope you enjoy my photos!
