I am so grateful to this place. I ordered a special orchid for my stepdad, who just had to put his dog down, not long after we lost my mother. They were so kind and made sure the orchid was beautiful. When my stepdad wasn't home for delivery, they called and left him a message, but also texted me to let me know it had been delivered, as well as to extend their condolences. They are so kind and sincere there and make beautiful arrangements. Can't thank you guys enough!

Hi found this florist on Yelp because I wanted to brighten up a friend's day. I'm so glad I did. They made the most beautiful arrangement! My friend absolutely loved it. The ordering process on their website was so easy! I called the day of delivery and they were so friendly! The flowers actually looked even better than their sample picture! Would definitely use them again.

stunning floral cross

Kate and her team go out of their way to produce the most gorgeous arrangements. I arrived at this busy floral shop after speaking with the owner and ordered a beautifully floral cross for a funeral. It was stunning, and delivered right on schedule to the Singing Hills Memorial park. I will definitely return for happier occasions. I highly recommend Wild Orchid. They are Five Stars all the way for a reason. Thank you to Kate and her team!

Mojave Willow (minus white hydrangeas)

Absolutely stunning arrangement delivered same day. Customer service was top notch. They ran out of white hydrangea, so the florist called me right away to discuss a substitution. Her selection was spot on. My friend loved her flowers.

This florist created a beautiful arrangement and delivered with care. Thank you very much!

What can I say about Kati and her team. They created a gorgeous casket spray for my father's funeral. I gave her a description of what I was looking for and the description of our casket. Katie put it together. I am grateful for what they did for our family. Thank you so much Katie definitely will recommend you to everyone that needs flower arrangements.

I'm in awe of this gorgeous arrangement from Wild Orchid. The colors and placement are just perfect. Brought me sunshine on my birthday. I just love my flowers!

Had flowers delivered for my Mom's birthday and I am beyond impressed with how they turned out! I live almost 2 hours away from my Mom so I had to have a little faith that a local florist would make the arrangement look like advertised on their website, and boy did they! It turned out EXACTLY how I expected them to! I will forever use Wild Orchid Florist for my floral needs!

Just what I ordered!!
Debra A.

This florist is amazing and very helpful!!! She didn't have the specific flowers I wanted but got them and delivered the arrangement on time!! I ask for a picture of arrangement as I live out of town and she not only sent me a photo but a video of the beautiful arrangement for my friend who just got home from hospital!! Thank you so much and will spread the word to my friends in San Diego about your fabulous florist!!!

Such a sweet bouquet!

Shout out to this gem of a florist! I popped in after work needing a small bouquet to go with a card and a gift card for my parents' 59th anniversary. They whipped up a beautiful little bouquet that was just perfect! And the customer service was impeccable. Please support this wonderful local business! There is a reason they have been around for decades. Thank you, Wild Orchid! Keep up the great work!

These people could not be nicer. It's never been more of a pleasure to give someone my money…read more For real, though. I was worried about my last minute planning with the whole Mother's Day bouquet. I was distracted by an unplanned work trip and ended up calling the Friday before. My usual florist turned me down. I started sweating. I felt like a bad daughter. I mean, I sent a card, but no one cares about those. Like, thanks for life, mom, here's a card? Momo deserves more than a card and we don't live in the same state, so I can't take her to brunch or surprise her with some random mother-daughter activity, which is my favorite thing to do. I was determined to call every florist on Yelp, but thankfully, I only had to make one more call. The woman on the phone was sweet as honey. I don't even remember who my old florist was, cause I'm never calling them again. Thank you for saving me, Florabella. You just made my weekend.

I need floral arrangements three to five times per year: for Valentine's Day; my wife's birthday;…read moreour anniversary; and occasionally, Thanksgiving or Christmas. For the longest time, I relied on Florabella to provide me with creative arrangements made from what were often unusual and difficult-to-find flowers. The business was well-organized and kept its schedule reliably, attractive traits to a nerd such as myself, and it sold its creations at a reasonable price. I could drop off a vase at the shop, conveniently located in Bay Ho, and, a few days later, either pick up my flowers or have them delivered to my house. However, by fall of 2019, owners Sarah Newstead and Jennifer Bull were gone, and the shop had moved from San Diego to Coronado Island, a virtual world away from the one I inhabit. Prices had risen, phone calls were no longer promptly returned, and the whole enterprise began to feel desperate and amateurish, like Mom had left the kids in charge, and maybe they were in a little over their heads. So I've stopped using Florabella, because, in the immortal words of Kimberly "Sweet Brown" Wilkins, "Ain't nobody got time for that." I grant that some of my hesitation may stem from an age-related aversion to change, and that your experience with the "new" Florabella may differ from mine, but, nevertheless, buyer beware and all that...

I called 3 or 4 floral stores that told me it was to late in the day and would be closing soon. Everything was completed over the phone and the flowers were delivered within 2 hrs. Impressive.

I typically will send flowers for birthdays and mother's day. The flower arrangements are on the pricier side, but for the quality I would say it is worth it especially since they are a small business. The online ordering experience is efficient and smooth as well, and in the past I typically have received both order and delivery confirmations. However, I did not receive a delivery confirmation for my most recent order so I decided to call the store directly and left a voicemail. The owner got back to me promptly, and did inform me that the delivery was made. I will say when I was speaking to the owner on the phone they did have quite a negative tone, and was defensive when I was simply asking about a delivery confirmation and/or if I should contact the recipient directly to ensure they received their flowers. While I understand that running a business can be stressful, it does not excuse rude or dismissive behavior toward customers. As a business owner, professionalism, courtesy, and respect should be priorities. I sincerely hope the owner reflects on how they interact with customers and makes an effort to create a more welcoming environment.
