“From our very first meeting she made me feel at ease with her design ability, aesthetic, and professionalism.”
Janelle of Lavenders Flowers was incredible to work with for my husband and my wedding. From our very first meeting she made me feel at ease with her design ability, aesthetic, and professionalism. She listened to my ideas while offering advice on design options. I also love that she uses local and California growers for her flowers. She and her team executed everything flawlessly for our wedding. The flowers on the wedding day were unbelievably beautiful and they surpassed all expectations. My bouquet was absolutely perfect, and was everything I asked for and more. Janelle transformed the wedding/reception venue with her floral arrangements and I heard nothing but positive things from our guests about how gorgeous the flowers were. Janelle has impeccable taste and using her was the best decision we made for our wedding. I would recommend Lavenders Flowers and Janelle to anyone looking for a florist for their big day!

“I never knew flower arrangements positioned so precisely in arrangements only she could artistically visualize, contribute to an overall experience our guests will remember for a lifetime.”
Janelle has an obvious talent and clear gift to frame a couple's most memorable day with the world's most beautiful flowers. I never knew flower arrangements positioned so precisely in arrangements only she could artistically visualize, contribute to an overall experience our guests will remember for a lifetime. Center pieces have all been taken, and thousands of photos were eagerly snapped for the beauty she added. Our wedding was not only complete with her help, it was epic. Thank you Janelle for all you have done. Thank you for your flexibility, amazing friendship, beautiful heart, and unparalleled talent. The footprint you leave behind will never be forgotten!

“She was the best vendor that I worked with.”
I used Janelle and her team as my wedding florist and she was the best vendor that I worked with. She did bouquets, flower girl wreath, cocktail juleps, large arrangements for my long tables, garland for some tables, a special head table garland, greenery for my chandeliers, and decorations for the guestbook table, some shelving in the venue, cake, and my custom mirror for seat assignments. Janelle is an artist. She took my ideas seriously and listened to what I wanted, darker foliage, no dusty colors in the flowers, and then added really interesting textures and pops that made everything look both modern and classic. She placed votives, used her own stock of vases which I rented, and worked with me to redo my quote several times as I need to change scope. Also, her studio is uber creative and a really hip place to visit for a meeting. Rad.

“The whole process was super easy and when my flowers were delivered to the venue I was so happy I could cry.”
My husband and I were more than happy with our flowers from Lavenders for our wedding! Janelle and Kylie were amazing and always friendly and courteous with each email. I made a few changes and different requests in the months leading up to our wedding and they always replied as quickly as they could. They were very understanding of staying in budget and making sure everything was what we wanted. The whole process was super easy and when my flowers were delivered to the venue I was so happy I could cry. The centerpieces I ordered were beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned and described to them. The garland they made for our sweetheart table was stunning. Everyone was complimenting the flowers and they made the room so beautiful. Even the guy who delivered our flowers was so kind and helpful. Thank you so much for all of the time and help you put into making our flowers so perfect.

“I broke down into tears of happiness, overcome with so much joy. She just got it.”
I am completely obsessed with Janelle & Lavenders Flowers and their absolutely amazing, flawless and beautiful work. She always had so much excitement for my wedding and truly put her heart into her work. I was completely blown away and taken back when she delivered all of the personal flowers to the Bridal Suite. I had recently put my dog of 19 years down prior to the wedding and she was very considerate and touched at the little charm I had made for my bouquet. When she handed me over that insanely beautiful arrangement of flowers, I broke down into tears of happiness and just overcome with so much joy. She just got it. Everything came to life with the help of Janelle and her amazing team of girls. Our arch for the ceremony looked like it was out of a fairytale, our reception was full of soft floral touches, and my bridesmaids bouquets gave just enough pop of color to tie it all in. You will NOT be disappointed with this company. I not only worked with such a great vendor, I came out of the experience with a new friend and someone who will always appreciate my crazy obsession with any type of flower. Our wedding was perfection!

“She quickly gained my trust and I didn't need to be so involved in the artistry of my flowers during the process because everything she touched was beautiful.”
I love her art and I love her personality! I started planning my wedding with flowers towards the bottom end of my priorities, but was quickly converted and convinced to invest in them as soon as I saw Janelle's work. Planning my wedding with her was fun and exciting, and not work at all. During my consult, I basically told her my wedding palette and themes I liked and my budget and that was all I ever had to say! From that point on, everything she came up with or showed me was exactly on point with my vision. I fell in love with every piece she put together, so she quickly gained my trust and I loved how I didn't need to be so involved in the artistry of my flowers during the entire planning process because everything she touched was beautiful. Janelle and her team were one of the best investments I made for my wedding, and my husband and I are so grateful we went with her. I would have a wedding all over again or any event whatsoever just as a reason to be surrounded by Janelle's floral art. She is extremely creative and innovative - always at least 10 steps ahead of whatever everyone in her industry is doing. Anyone to hire her is lucky to do so. She's got a great personality, is very organized and honest, and most of all, genuine. We are so thankful to her for working with us to fit our budget without compromising the quality, so that we could showcase her talent during our special day!

“My mom's flowers looked like they stepped out of a painting by Caravaggio.”
Truth be told, I have searched high and low, to no avail, to find a decent florist in Orange County. I have never used the same one twice. Though I have managed to put together some very nice floral arrangements in the past, there was always a detail that was either cheesy, cheap, or lazy. When I first saw Janelle's work I thought she was from Provence or Tuscany. Her floral arrangements were just too elegant, earthy, and exotic to resemble anything that you could get from a florist in your local mini mall. I called her up and she told me that she trained as an artist and she indeed lived in Italy. It shows. I kept my fingers crossed and asked Janelle if she would put together a simple flower arrangement for my mother's birthday. I was so thrilled when she said she would do it. Her prices are very reasonable given the masterpiece that she made. The only directive I gave Janelle was that my mother preferred soft colors and muted tones. Flowers, I said, should not look like they came from a candy store. They should look like they came from a garden. When my mother got her flowers, I was stupified. They were perfect. They actually looked and smelled like real flowers and were beautifully arranged. Gone were the flowers from the world of mediocrity that we've all tolerated. Instead, my mom's flowers looked like they stepped out of a painting by Caravaggio.

“It was exactly what I expected and more.”
I knew from the moment I got engaged that Janelle at Lavenders Flowers was my very first choice to create the wedding of my dreams. Her design sense and use of color and texture and attention to detail made me so excited for our first meeting. Janelle was very attentive to all the things on my wish list for my wedding. She completed a beautiful sample of what my wedding day flowers and table would look like, it was exactly what I expected and more. Janelle was great to communicate with, her team was also so wonderful and helpful. I was able to email her and get fast response throughout the process of planning my wedding. Janelle also makes the most beautiful ribbon and table top fabric and I was thrilled to include those items in my wedding as well. It totally complimented everything she did, which was all the things I wanted! Janelle executed my perfect day with ease and made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Can you say make up do over when she brought me my bouquet?! It was just stunning. I never wanted to let it go. Janelle went above and beyond to make my wedding unique and special for me.

“Janelle is an artist and her medium is plants.”
If you met me 3 years ago, I would have told you I don't really care for flowers. Most floral arrangements just seemed boring, repetitive and predictable. Then I met Janelle from Lavenders Flowers. Janelle is an artist and her medium is plants. When you talk to her, you really get the sense of how much she loves her products and goes out of her way to make sure everything is a masterpiece. I have bought many arrangements from her and I am blown away each and every single time. I've had the pleasure of watching Janelle work on floral arrangements and its is awesome! Not only is Janelle a great floral designer but she is also a great teacher. So if you want to learn how to make a centerpiece, floral crown or a wreath, take one of her workshops.

“Her excitement and energy when making arrangements is contagious.”
Janelle is a true artist. I've never seen someone as passionate as her when creating floral arrangements. She's an amazing florist! Her excitement and energy when making arrangements is contagious. Janelle has made arrangements for me and every time I'm blown away by her work. The way she works with colors and different flowers is out of this world!! The day I get married Janelle and Lavenders Flowers will be working on my wedding.

“Janelle made all of my wedding dreams come true!”
At first I thought I did not need to invest in flowers for the wedding but so glad I came to my senses. Janelle has an incredible eye and capable of turning the room into a romantic dream. I gave her a few guardrails but for the most part let her express herself creatively and I am so happy with the way everything turned out-from the gorgeous garland on our head table to each center piece with its own unique flair. She also assembled garland on the back of our vintage getaway car. There wasn't one person that didn't make a comment about how exquisite the flowers were. You can't go wrong by working with Janelle!

“To this day, people still mention how beautiful the flowers were to me on a regular basis.”
Janelle from Lavenders Flowers is absolutely amazing! She did all of the flowers for my January wedding, and with very little direction from me made my ceremony and reception so much more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. The initial consultation with Janelle was great, I felt like I understood her artistry and I was impressed with the color palette that she proposed. She was really enthusiastic about everything and it was infectious! She also worked closely with me through my many questions and budgetary revisions, never once losing patience with me or pressuring me into things that I didn't want to do or pay for. Everyone at my wedding loved the flowers and literally EVERYONE wanted to take an arrangement home! To this day, people still mention how beautiful the flowers were to me on a regular basis.

“She has a wonderful way about her as well....taking the venue in mind, the pallet the couple have chosen and really listens to you.”
Seriously as good as it gets!!!! Don't even bother pricing and interviewing other florists....she literally rocked my daughter's whole wedding with unbelievable style and beauty! She has a wonderful way about her as well....taking the venue in mind, the pallet the couple have chosen and really listens to you. Oh yes and one more thing she is incredibly creative, using locally grown as well! We just love her and could not wait to recommend her to any other bride or someone like myself, a mama who wanted the absolute perfect feel and vibe for her daughter's special day!!

“Janelle delivered a magical and tasteful series of centerpieces.”
I was incredibly happy that we chose Lavenders Flowers to provide the floral and decor for our wedding welcome dinner at Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara this September. My style is decidedly "anti-giant flower ball", and Lavenders was the perfect fit for striking a more elegant, organic, and rustic tone. My wedding planner and I provided a description of the general decor and feel we wanted for the welcome dinner, and then said: "surprise us." Janelle delivered a magical and tasteful series of centerpieces, table accents, and cocktail arrangements that really made the atmosphere for the evening. I felt the pricing was reasonable given the quality of the arrangements delivered. Lavenders also provided throw pillows, trays, and lovely table runners to complement and match her floral arrangements. I continue to follow her Instagram account and dream excuses for a future party in SoCal so I can work with her again. Very highly recommended, especially if you would like a florist who can deliver magical results with little direction given.
