  So happy we chose G&G!

  Pilar and her team were so wonderful to work with and created the most amazing flowers for our wedding! We couldn't be happier with them and we had so many guests tell us how incredible our flowers looked for our wedding. G&G was responsive to our questions, so knowledgeable and thoughtful about how to use flowers throughout the wedding weekend, and kind to work with. Highly recommend them!

  Amazing unique arrangements

  The flowers that we got for our wedding were spectacular. The arrangements were so unique that many people asked us where we got the flowers. Not only that but the process of discussing our desires, settling on the types of arrangements, and picking everything up was clear, stress-free, and smooth.
  
  We wanted a florist that could not only deliver flowers but flowers that matched our values of sustainability (in season, organic, and local where possible) and low or no plastic. Gorgeous and Green didn't simply accommodate our values, they already share our values.
  
  I would go back to them in a heartbeat.

  Fantastic custom floral design experience

  Working with Pilar was a dream! She is a fantastic creative and does a great job getting to know you and your preferences while still owning the design and execution. She did a great job bringing our "bright, cheerful, and modern" flower dreams to life for our wedding in Sonoma. I definitely recommend her for all your floral needs!

  10/10 gorgeous florals!

  Pilar was wonderful to work with and created some absolutely beautiful floral pieces for our wedding! She created a few a la carte pieces for us: the bouquet of my dreams--it was truly the standout accessory of my whole outfit--incorporating some special requests like the purple color of my spouse's suit and my favorite flower, sunflowers. She also created a coordinating flower crown that made me feel like a flower queen, plus a beautiful boutonniere for my spouse and pin-on corsages for our parents. We loved their local and sustainable focus. I'd work with Gorgeous and Green again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

  Exceeded expectations

  I wanted a fairytale wildflower wedding and Pilar DELIVERED. I had a bit of an out there idea that other florists told me would be too hard. Pilar immediately got excited and said let’s do it. We described the whole vibe we were going for and she nailed it AND upleveled it. I can’t recommend her enough. You will not be disappointed. Every single detail was paid attention to.

  We had a hard time picking a florist for our September wedding, and we’re so glad we went with Gorgeous and Green! Pilar was a great communicator and super responsive, which we really appreciated. She answered all our questions by email and on the phone, and was very clear in her pricing. We did it as a “small order pickup” but it wasn’t small. We picked up 60 bud vases for the dinner tables, 6 bridesmaid bouquets, a bridal bouquet, 2 corsages, and 10 boutonnieres. The flowers were all STUNNING. We wanted bright colors and textures and nothing “bridal,” and Pilar did an amazing job. I wish I could have my bridal bouquet in my house every single day. So beautiful, and they lasted a long time! She even gave us some money back when we returned a bunch of the vases. I will definitely be ordering flowers from Gorgeous and Green in the future!

  I love Pilar's old fashioned style! We had a 1930's inspired wedding, and the flowers she put together fit in very well. She was super accommodating with last minute changes, even texting me to respond to last minute requests. Thank you Pilar!!!

  Pilar provided the most beautiful bouquets. I am a big fan of lavender and Pilar used that flower in the men's flowers. The colors were perfect and the mixture of blue and yellow really made a great contrast. I have kept my bouquet and dried it and will keep it in a keepsake box for many years.

  Gorgeous and Green did the flowers and decorations for my wedding. We wanted to use as many organic or sustainable items as possible. They had great ideas and the cost was reasonable. For example, all the center pieces were potted arrangments of succulents that now I get to enjoy everyday in the yard. My flowers were amazing, they look great in the pictures! G & G made beautiful and creative flowers and decorations for a reasonable/competitive price, and we did it in a socially responsible way.

  G and G is amazing! They have a wonderful business model (using "sustainable and ecologically friendly methods"). They find such beautiful and diverse flowers! We bought bouquets, boutonnieres and bulk flowers to arrange ourselves in mason jars. We could not be happier with their work.

  Pilar runs an environmentally conscious and beautiful flower service. She worked with me request to create centerpieces out of apples as well as flowers and even provided flowers for my cake! We first met her at her home, but she now has a super cute shop on San Pablo Ave. in Oakland. Her prices are amazing for what you get and she has unique ideas for a modern bride.

  DO NOT book with Pilar/Gorgeous and Green for your wedding. I can honestly say that she singlehandedly ruined the decor on my wedding day. When my bouquet was delivered, I immediately started crying. Not out of happiness. It was horrible, wilted, brown, and 1/3 of it was roses (which I HATE with a passion, and made VERY clear to Pilar to not use any roses, with the exception of garden roses). It was tiny. 2 of my friends went hunting around and found another florist to make a bouquet for me from scratch. My centerpieces were nonexistent, as Pilar dropped them at the venue and left-- no set up, nothing (which I paid for and was in the contract). No one knew how to set them up, as it was the FLORISTS job!! And the actual centerpieces were not what I ordered (they had gross raffia in the bottom, which made them look dirty and old, and were nowhere near as full as they were supposed to be). 4 of the boutinierres were completely wrong (pink gerbers instead of white orchids), 2 of the corsages were brown and broken upon delivery. The shepard's hooks I rented where 1' tall (when they were supposed to be at least 3-4' tall)-- they looked stupid because they were so short, and didn't accomodate the decor I had bought to hang from them.
  
  Pilar is IMPOSSIBLE to reach via email, and when we set up a meeting to go over the final design plan (in person, at her suggestion), she emailed 45 minutes prior to say I would need to pay her mileage and consulting time-- when the contract states that "continued design support" is included in the cost I paid. I was supposed to receive the design plan 2 weeks prior to the wedding-- I got it the day before the wedding.
  
  I spent multiple hours on my honeymoon crying and furious about the floral-- it was one of the MOST important elements of our wedding, and Pilar completely ruined it. The decor looked cheap and not polished, and it was due to her negligence and unprofessionalism.
  
  Please save yourself the drama, and DO NOT BOOK WITH GORGEOUS AND GREEN EVENTS!!!! She will not be receiving the final payment from us, and I will be reporting her negligent business practices to every organization I can. Once I get pics from the photographer, I will post pictures of the "flowers" she delivered-- please understand that I am not a crazy bride, but am honestly beyond disappointed with her work, and want to save EVERY other bride from the stress and disappointment Pilar and Gorgeous and Green Events caused for my husband and I.

  Gorgeous and Green's reply:

  Again, I am so very sorry you were unhappy with the flowers I provided. I don't believe most of the information above to be true and believe I did the best job I could with the budget and flower requests I was given.
