Pico Soriano Designs

Pico did a marvelous job for our wedding in August! He was able to sit down with us and explore options based on the theme, feel, and colors of our wedding. He had many samples for reference so we could pin down the look together! We decided to do the table arrangements ourselves and he was happy to consult with us on decisions about that too. Pico’s artistic sensibilities helped us push our flower designs to a new level! The flowers turned out beautifully and he was even able to use a ribbon pattern that we provided :) We would definitely work with Pico again.. .gorgeous flowers for a reasonable price!

I’ve used Pico several times because I know he does beautiful work. I’ve recommended him to my sister for her wedding and this guys really knows it stuff. Thanks Pico

Pico is the best!!! Pico created the floral arrangements for my wedding and my sister’s wedding. I had a difficult time putting into words what I was looking for and through our meetings and going over various pictures he was able to create exactly what I wanted. The process was so easy, no stress, and the final product was incredible. I would recommend him to anyone for any event! Plus his prices are so competitive it worked perfect with our budget. Thank you again Pico!!!

Pico Soriano is an AMAZING florist! I booked him for my wedding at Stanford Memorial Church and Kohl Mansion in September, and never regretted it. He has impeccable taste, and understood what I was going for immediately. I would never go with anyone else. Pico is very quiet and relaxed in manor and instantly put me at ease. His adorable dog didn’t hurt either! I wanted a sort of Northern California fall harvest look (grapes and wine for color inspiration), and he ran with that. He was also very reasonable in price compared to everyone else I saw, and if you are thinking of cutting back on flowers to save money, please see Pico first. He gave me my dream flowers and beyond, and definitely within my budget. He was such a sweetie as well. The morning of my wedding he texted me photos of my bouquet and the center pieces and I was just floored! They were dreamy extrapolations of my idea, brought into reality by a true artist. I will definitely post photos soon. My guests kept exclaiming over the flowers all night — and days afterwards too. I am keeping and drying my bouquet and when I next need a florist for anything, he is my go-​to guy. Thank you, Pico, I couldn’t have been more extatic!

I hired Pico as my florist for my wedding at Kohl Mansion and highly recommend him to all future brides! He’s a extremely talented and experienced florist– he’s even featured in the Bouquet to Art exhibition at the De Young Museum every year.
Pico was extremely accommodating to my list of requests and he answered my emails/​phone calls/​text messages quickly. I gave him my wedding colors, some pictures from Pinterest and budget and he made my vision come to life. His prices are reasonable and he definitely doesn’t skimp on quality or quantity of his work. My bouquet was beautiful, fragrant and perfect– not a flower out of place. Last, but not least, Pico is a great guy to work with and I would hire him again in a heart beat!

Pico did the flowers for our wedding last weekend (September 14) at The Mountain Terrace in Woodside, California — and we couldn’t be happier!
Pico was recommended to us by a friend and after reading his reviews and meeting with him (and getting a very reasonable price quote), we locked it in.
I gave Pico my Pinterest board with some thoughts, and mostly emphasized that — given that our venue was outdoors and in the woods — we didn’t need much. He knew exactly what I was going for and I trusted him immediately. After all, he’s the expert!
My bouquet (which I hadn’t even wanted at first) was a true work of art. It was heavy, but I carried it around with me all evening, just to show everyone! He also made beautiful, smaller bouquets for our mothers (we didn’t have a bridal party), boutonnieres for the men, and centerpieces. Finally, he decorated our beautiful «naked» cake, which was a real hit.
One of our guests was a florist and she had amazing things to say about our flowers — the best compliment to Pico I can imagine! And of course, all of our other guests raved as well.
Bonus: Pico owns his own chuppah poles and will set up and break them down for you. We would have had to rent chuppah poles (and pay for them) separately, and Pico’s birch chuppah poles were beautiful — especially with some floral embellishments.
Thank you, Pico!

Pico is an incredibly talented florist, we could not have been more thrilled with the floral designs he created for our July wedding in SF City Hall! We had an indian wedding with garlands and vibrant bouquets and centerpieces. Pico worked tirelessly to make sure every detail for our wedding was perfect. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were stunning and creative – he interspersed fresh sprigs of mint amid the gorgeous pink and orange flowers. He is also very professional, kind, and fun to work with; we met with him several times before the wedding to select the details and he always devoted ample time and attention to our planning. We highly recommend Pico, once you meet him his work and charming personality will speak for themselves.

Pico did my flowers for my wedding last month at the Oceano Hotel in Half Moon Bay. Living in LA and planning my wedding in Half Moon Bay made it difficult to meet with my vendors prior to the wedding. I found Pico on Unilocal.We spoke over the phone about the time of year, type of flowers, color, etc and he offered a lot of great ideas for my bouquet and arrangements at a reasonable cost. We met in person about 2 times where he showed me some pictures of arrangements from previous weddings and went over the details for my wedding. On the day of my wedding, I could not have been more happy with Pico’s creations. Pico created bright vibrant arrangements with lots of full flowers like hydrangeas, mums, dahlias, and ranunculus’. I absolutely loved my flowers and was so impressed with his creativity and hope to be able to work with him again!

Pico did the flowers for my wedding at Kohl Mansion in October. From the very beginning, Pico was incredibly responsive via email, phone, and text. He worked with my busy schedule for my mom and me to come to his house to discuss our plans.
To be honest, I didn’t give Pico a ton to work with. I gave him some vague guidelines of how I like unique textures and unusual flowers. Together we came up some some ideas for flowers in green, creams, and purples.
He took my basic requests and created the most STUNNING creations. The day before my wedding, he texted a few pictures to me and I was FLOORED with how beautiful the arrangements were.
When I saw the overall effect at my wedding venue, it was more beautiful than I could’ve ever imagined. Guests were comment about how stunning everything looked.
Pico was a pleasure to work with and I am happy to endorse him and his team and say HIRE HIM!!!

I met with Pico several months before our wedding and discussed the feel that I wanted for the flowers. Our wedding was a vintage/​rustic theme and I wanted the flowers to feel handpicked and loose. I told him I liked garden roses, peonies, sweet peas and lots of greenery. I wanted lots of small vases rather than one large centerpiece on each table.
When I arrived at our reception, I was absolutely in awe of what PIco had created. There were flowers everywhere! It was more beautiful that I could have ever imagined. He thought of the most creative places and ways to use the flowers. I could not have been more happy with the flowers.

This review is so long overdue (almost three years)! I thought that I had already reviewed Pico, but I didn’t and I couldn’t not review him because our wedding flowers were so absolutely unbelievable. I wish we could get married 100 times again only to have those amazing flowers again and again. I just cannot say enough good stuff about Pico and his flowers.
Our wedding flowers – I have never seen anything like them. Absolutely perfection. They were truly art in its purest form– mystical, whimsical, breathtaking. I love flowers and these were the best wedding flowers (or any flowers for that matter) I have ever seen (I know I am biased, but EVERYONE kept coming up to us and NO ONE could get over them). Feel free to message me for pictures! Art. Freakin’ art. Pico went and saw our wedding site (Nestldown in Los Gatos/​Santa Cruz) and he had a vision. It was magical. I couldn’t have been happier, the flowers were more than I ever could have hoped for. I would recommend Pico to anyone.
As an aside, Pico does a piece each year at the Bouquet to Arts and his is always the best one :)

Pico Soriano is a gem!!! He was the florist for a family wedding this past weekend in Palo Alto. We were thrilled with his beautiful centerpieces, bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets and corsages! His work is absolutely exquisite! The flowers were extraordinarily beautiful and very, very fresh! He is a floral artist like no other and is now my «go to» florist. Pico went above and beyond with the flowers which made the day even more special!
I HIGHLY recommend him!

I am so glad I chose Pico as the designer for my wedding centerpieces this past September! His work was AMAZING!!! and even my guests were very impressed by his Ikebana designs that where most suitable for my Wedding at Yoshi’s Sf, Japan town. Pico is a true professional and considers individual preferences to make each piece elegant, modern, and personal. He listened to all that I wanted and delivered everything on time. Pico is worth every penny and I highly suggest him for future events! THANK YOU SO MUCH PICO FOR MAKING MY WEDDING SOOOOO MEMORABLE AND BEAUTIFUL!

Pico is great! I told him my vision and my budget and he listened. Of course he shared his ideas and he’s just creative. He wasn’t trying to be pushy at all. At the day of the wedding, I was a little nervous at first but when I saw the flowers, he just made everything more perfect than I expected. I had so many compliments from people and I was very pleased on how they turned out. The flowers looked classy, elegant, and beautiful. My wedding pictures looked way better because of it. Thanks Pico!

Pico,
made 3 flower arrangements for our Performing Arts Night — 2 went to the organizers and one to the wife of the Consul General of Japan– the bouquets where amazing and the 3 Lady’s loved them !!
Thanks, Pico– you are the BEST!

PIco is AMAZING and so great to work with!!! When I came to him, I really had no idea about what flowers I wanted or what I was going for. I told Pico about my New Orleans, Mardi Gras themed wedding and the color scheme I was going for. He was really great about providing ideas and asking us questions to find out what flowers we liked. He is very creative and the flowers turned out beautiful beyond my expectations!!! All of the arrangements were gorgeous and looked amazing! PIco has vision, style and great personality which is why I wanted him to bring in the accents and flare for our wedding. I am EXTREMELY SATISFIED with Pico’s work and will continue to recommend him to everyone and anyone that’s looking for an awesome floral designer for their event! A great value for what you will get!
Thank you Pico!!! :)

We were incredibly lucky to have some amazing vendors for our wedding, but I think Pico takes the gold! He is amazing! His work blew us away. He really listens to what you want and delivers. I asked for unusual flowers for my bouquet-​he managed to use the most unusual flowers you could get and still make my bouquet breathtaking. Our guests could not stop marveling at the centerpieces the whole night! Thank you Pico, we would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!

Very seldom do you find a business with so many great reviews when they focus on weddings and services…
Well with Pico I am not the least bit surprised. I use him exclusively for our restaurant flowers and refer him to all my guests and friends in need of fantastic flower design.
Daily I have guests compliment on the quality and design which we display.
Reliable, consistent, takes the extra step and puts forth 110% is all I see in Pico.

We found Pico through Unilocal when we were searching for a florist for our wedding. Like the other bride, helen, I didn’t give Pico much direction. I brought a pictures of color combination I would like for the wedding. As we were looking at the picture, Pico asked me what colors wouldn’t not work for me. I quickly answered hot pink. He gave me a blink star and said but the colors you showed me in the photo had hot pink. I guess I was color blinded. Haha. I went with pink as the compliment colors as our main wedding colors were brown and green. We gave him an idea what we want for the centerpiece… and the rest he took care of.
I love what he had created for the wedding. I was surprised and loved everything he created. I posted a few pictures…

If I could give Pico 6 stars, I would. He did the flowers for our wedding at the Kohl Mansion in May 2009 and was not only a joy to work with but he kept within my budget (plus/​minus a few hundred dollars) and created the most colorful and wonderful smelling arrangements I have ever seen. All the guests at the wedding were wowed by his creativity.
I gave him the bridesmaid dress swatch and asked for orange, green, pink and sangria colored flowers and its exactly what I got. I trusted his vision and creativity completely.
I would hire him again in a heartbeat, as would the guests at the wedding. I heard nothing but huge kudos throughout the night.
THANK YOU PICO!
