Moments in Bloom

Moments in Bloom exceeded my expectations for my daughter’s wedding. I made suggestions as to color, they did the rest. When we arrived at the venue for the «reveal», we were amazed! One guest said it was «Pinterest Perfect».
Thank you Moments in Bloom for taking the guess work out of the wedding flowers and delivering the most stunning florals!

WOW! Where do I even begin?! Choosing Moments in Bloom as our florist for our wedding was by far the best decision we could have ever made! Tara went above and beyond– she saw my vision and executed it perfectly! She was amazing from start to finish. We received so many compliments on our flowers– and the flowers could not have been more beautiful. She even helped my Mom set up decorations the day of and helped make sure everything was in its place– I cannot think of any other vendor that would have done this! We were completely blown away by Tara and Dede.
Going with any other florist for your wedding would be a mistake. They have passion and are genuinely excited about your wedding– both important things that you will not find with many vendors. I honestly do not have a negative thing I can say– all I can say is WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE MOMENTS IN BLOOM

Moments in Bloom rocks! We are so happy to have had Moments in Bloom as our wedding florist in October 2013. They came highly recommended by our photographer Chelsea Anne, and rightly so! They did gorgeous work at very competitive prices. Moments in Bloom played a very special and important part in our wedding.
Floral design was very important to me, as I ultimately had some fairly specific looks and flowers in mind. I spent a great deal of time examining the Moments in Bloom website and photo blog to ensure I loved their style, then reached out to them! We had a great meeting with Dede at their studio in Carlsbad, and we just really liked her and Tara and their whole vibe! They are both super nice, very talented and hardworking, and you can just tell how much they love what they do.
After we booked them as our florist, my now-​husband and I actually moved out of state, and we suddenly had a ‘destination wedding’ on our hands! But it was so easy to work with Dede over phone and e-​mail to discuss our wedding floral design and communicate ideas and visions. Dede was very responsive, thoughtful and patient to boot! She hunted down the perfect centerpiece vases and customized them just for us; Dede also happened to find me some special ranunculus flowers for my bridal bouquet in the exact perfect color, despite having counted them out since they were out of season! Just a bit of magic she managed that I had to mention. ;-)
In regard to the wedding day itself — Dede and Tara were prompt, reliable, and ever so efficient! Our venue, the Safari Park out in Escondido, requires vendors to cart all of their stuff into the middle of the park literally on golf carts. It’s no small challenge, and certainly adds to set-​up time, so they were hustling! But man, did they deliver. Everything was beautiful and arranged perfectly.
We highly recommend you consider Moments in Bloom for your wedding florals!

I just got married last Friday and Moments in Bloom did the flowers for the wedding. I was SO HAPPY with our wedding florals, I had to Unilocal!
I loved every aspect of working with the ladies at Moments in Bloom. Dede was my main contact, and she was awesome — professional, talented, and so sweet! I visited the studio in Carlsbad a couple of times, and that was really fun — just felt like hanging out with a friend.
I don’t know much at all about flowers, but had some photos of arrangements/​bouquets that I liked and Dede really made those come to life. She totally got my vision and the flowers were just stunning. She made «mock ups» for me to see before the wedding (and keep!) and tried out lots of different kinds of flowers to make sure I was really happy with the final decisions. I also appreciated the little details that Moments in Bloom did that set them apart from other florists I was looking at:
1. They had interesting glassware (e.g. bubble bowls) that looked really cool and I had never seen before.
2. They wanted to tailor the flowers to our event in a personal way — my fiancé and I are scientists so some of our arrangements were in beakers and flasks and that was a big hit!
3. They have their own arches for wedding ceremonies (a lot of florists don’t and require you to rent these separately) and did all the set up and break down.
I got so many compliments on my wedding flowers. We went with plain white table linens because the centerpieces were so spectacular, and I’m glad we did! They were a highlight of the event.
All in all, I feel like I really lucked out in finding Moments in Bloom, and I couldn’t recommend them any more. Customer service was top notch. I am totally going to hire these ladies again for any event I plan in the future!

I could not be more satisfied with Moments in Bloom. I have two separate occasions that I have had the joy of working with them and I will share both:
As a bridesmaid: in 2010 my friend got married and used Moments in Bloom as her florist. Because my friend has a very chaotic schedule, all of the consultation was completed over the internet and via email. My friend told Dede what flowers she liked, what flowers she didn’t like, and the overall look she was going for. The day of the actually wedding was the very first time my friend and Dede met and spoke in person and every thing was perfect. As a bridesmaid I was very impressed by the quality of the flowers and décor around the ceremony and reception, and I knew if my friend was able accomplish this without having face-​to-​face meetings with the florist I knew this is who I wanted to work with for my wedding.
As a bride: Fast forward to November 2010 (a month after my friend’s wedding), and I met the ladies of Moments in Bloom at an open house/​vendor expo at the Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club (where we ended up booking our wedding venue there). Dede remembered me from the previous month and we immediately began talking about flowers for my October 2011 wedding. We met a couple of times in person and she immediately knew what I was looking for to make my autumn wedding beautiful and special. She incorporated my favorite flower, sunflowers, so beautifully into the bouquets and because she knew our theme was autumn harvest, she included fresh autumn leaves in the bouquet as well! Every raved at how wonderful all the floral arrangements looks and I could not agree more. The center pieces on all the tables were stunning without taking away the ability for people to talk across the table to each other, our sweetheart table was decorated with pomegranates, autumn leaves, and a gorgeous centerpiece of all the flowers that were in the ladies’ bouquets. I had both a cascade bouquet for the wedding ceremony as well as a «tossible» bouquet for the bouquet/​garter toss portion of the reception. We had cast iron votive holders with flowers and wood climbing up the sides, and a votive tree by the area that guests could leave gifts and cards. The whole day was beautiful and the work done by Dede was the icing on the cake for that day. Thank you Moments in Bloom! I have already recommended you to others for their floral arrangement needs!
