    Everything you could ask for in a florist!

    We booked Moments in Bloom for our wedding at the Carlsbad Windmill, and would recommend a million times!
    They were easy to communicate with, and provided an amazing service. I felt like I was constantly emailing Dede with changes, but she was understanding and patient—always reassuring me the florals would be beautiful.
    The quality of everything on the day of was outstanding. The bouquets! The centerpieces! The arch! The staircase! The attention to detail!
    The effort put in to each piece was immaculate. Their team definitely brought my vision to life, exceeding any and every expectation. Such a talented group of women. Thank you Moments in Bloom for making my special day that much more special.

    Amazing Florist!

    Tara and her team at Moments in Bloom were such a pleasure to work with! From the beginning, Tara truly understood my vision and answered all my questions. On the day of my wedding, the flowers were everything I ever pictured and more! Moments in Bloom is extremely talented and helped to make our wedding absolutely stunning. We received so many compliments on our florals. I highly recommend Moments in Bloom!

    A dream come true!

    I worked with Tara from Moments in Bloom for my wedding on November 6, 2021! Tara was an absolute joy to work with! We had our initial consult and right away, she understood my vision and was making recommendations on how to make it come to life! As we got closer, she worked with me a ton as I finalized the final head count and details. I went back and forth quite a bit in those last few weeks and Tara was so helpful in making decisions.

    She walked me through how all of the pieces would be reused from the ceremony to the cocktail hour and the reception. On the day of the wedding, she even came into the bridal suite to show me my bouquet and I got choked up because it took my breath away! It was exactly what I dreamt of and more. I thought that was such a sweet gesture to come and show me. It all felt real when I saw my bouquet! As I looked around the ceremony and reception areas, I was blown away at how beautiful everything was.

    The next day, when I took home my bouquet and some arrangements, I really got a chance to get a good look at them and I was amazed. The flowers were of exceptional quality and the arrangements and bouquets were detailed to perfection. The flowers from Moments in Bloom made my wedding a dream come true.

    If you are looking for a florist that you can trust with your most special day, you've found her :)

    Fantastic!

    Moments in Bloom was incredible! Dede was highly professional, helpful, and always quick to respond. She was also very flexible and was able to add on arrangements and change things as I needed for our wedding. They did such an amazing job with the flowers, we were absolutely blown away with how beautiful everything turned out. Thank you Moments in Bloom for making our wedding look like a fairytale!

    Gorgeous!!!

    Moments in bloom was a recommendation from a coworker of mine, and let me just say I was absolutely blown away! Flowers are a strange thing at a wedding because you know there’s going to be a certain price tag that goes with them, but it is so worth it to create the type of feel for our wedding. I worked with Tara throughout the whole experience and she helped me immensely discussing how to reuse pieces from our ceremony into our reception since our venue had a massive arbor.
    I am so glad I took her advice!!! It was absolutely gorgeous! Both the ceremony space and the reception had the exact look I wanted!!! She also did our cake and cake stand which was one of the most elegant looks I’ve ever seen and surpassed my expectations. Our bouquets and all of the bridal party pieces were perfect in color, shape and size!!
    I really know very little about flowers and she walked me through colors and shapes and had me send a bunch of pictures of the look I wanted- even of my dress, my decor and the cake stand so that she made sure everything worked together!
    When I got home the next day I went through to preserve some of the flowers and it was the first time I got to look at them super close and wow! The quality of these flowers completely surpassed any that I’ve ever seen at a wedding! They even smelled amazing!!!
    She really worked with me, a lot, and she did a phenomenal job! I could not recommend her more!!!

    A truly special person

    This review is less about the beautiful flower arrangements Didi puts together and more about the wonderful type of person that she is. Our wedding was cancelled the day prior to the event due to the Coronavirus. As any future bride can imagine, I was distraught. We had a small event in our backyard as a replacement. Didi not only still put together some of our arrangements but put together some with different colors and different flowers that looked less weddingy as she feared wedding flowers could make our day much worse. That was by far the most kindhearted, generous act I could imagine from a wedding vendor. In addition, she returned us what money should could (for labor, delivery, etc.) and we couldn't be more thankful. Moral of the story, her flowers are absolutely beautiful and perhaps more importantly, she is the type of person you'll want to have supporting you on your big day!

    Gorgeous and ABUNDANT flowers!

    Let me start by saying that flowers ended up being one of the most stressful components of wedding planning for me because I had no idea how pricey flowers are. With that said, Dede at Moments in Bloom, went out of her way to work with my budget AND still make my vision come to life. Moments in Bloom really overdelivered on the day of. There were flowers everywhere and gorgeous blooms - huge, blooming roses (no buds or small roses), in beautiful colors (blush, mauve, champagne, ivory), hydrangea and greens that really complemented the venue. I had a mix of round and banquet tables and so had a mix of centerpieces and garlands. The garlands were FULL and gorgeous. I really didn't want pink (think baby shower girl pink) and there was no pink! :) I LOVED my bouquet, peonies, roses, and gardenia (my request). I was that annoying bride who kept looking at more and more Pinterest and IG photos, confusing myself more and more and likely annoying the vendor, but Dede never showed it - she was so sweet and patient throughout. She is so great to work with AND delivers a gorgeous product. I am super happy with the flowers and can't believe I was so stressed out about it. The guests are still gushing about them! Thank you, Dede!

    Moments in Bloom Makes Your Moment Unforgettable :)

    Tara from Moments in Bloom was absolutely amazing!! My husband and I had some very loose ideas of what we wanted initially, and she helped us a lot with some ideas to get started. Once I started poking around Pinterest I found a bouquet I really loved, sent her a picture, and that's exactly what showed up on the wedding day! She tied together all the flowers with the colors we gave her flawlessly. I was stunned when I saw the arch for the ceremony- it turned out more beautiful than I could ever have imagined! The guests at our wedding took almost as many pictures of the flowers as they did us. :) Tara was so sweet and easy to work with, and never once complained about the many, many emails I sent her. I would definitely recommend Moments in Bloom! :)

    Stunning Flowers!

    Moments in Bloom created the most beautiful flower arrangements for our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. We chose the bright tropical package and it was even better than expected. Dede was amazing in customizing our request and so nice to work with.

    I would HIGHLY recommend Moments in Bloom for your wedding! Tara and Dede worked with my planner and me to make my wedding look exactly how I had dreamed! They have great prices and are wonderful to work with, not to mention just being great people! They made a beautiful arch for our ceremony, beautiful centerpieces for our reception, as well as perfect little details (flowers on our welcome sign, on the gift table, and on the cake and cake table). They thought of every detail! Make it easy on yourself and hire them!

    The flowers at our wedding were absolutely stunning. Moments in Bloom exceeded my expectations! Tara was so friendly & easy to work with. We had a budget to stick to & she was great at offering suggestions on where to save without sacrificing aesthetics. At our initial consultation, I showed her images from my pinterest board and we went from there. There was one image in particular that I loved, and Tara nailed it. So many guests came up to me the day of, and since, to tell me how beautiful my flowers were. I was very worried about making our venue beautiful since it was DIY, but after seeing the bouquets, my worries vanished. The flowers completely transformed the space and made my wedding day every bit as beautiful as I had hoped!

    Thank you so much for the beautiful job you did with all the flowers at our wedding! My bouquet was everything that I had envisioned ...you saw my reaction when you brought the bouquets to us...Tears! They were so beautiful! The arch for our ceremony was such a perfect backdrop for where we were standing. And The ballroom flowers turned out spectacular and your attention to detail on our wedding cake was amazing!

    We couldn’t be more pleased with how everything turned out. Thank you for help making our wedding day so beautiful!

    I worked with Tara to design the florals for my December 30, 2016 wedding and received the flowers of my dreams. I live out of town so all our communication was done over email and pinterest and yet I felt like Tara completely knew my vision and delivered one thousand percent. She was amazing to work with and the flowers were of the highest quality. I would especially thank Tara and Moments in Bloom for their flexibility. I had already paid the full balance for the florals when we decided to drop four reception tables (which meant a decrease of 8 centerpieces)- Tara graciously worked with me and my coordinator, Robyn Fallon of R. Nicole Events, to increase the size of the other arrangements and source even fancier flowers so that the balance would remain the same. The florals were perfect and everything I imagined! I would highly recommend Moments in Bloom for any event!

    I couldn't recommend Moments In Bloom more highly!! Dede was wonderful and immediately understood the aesthetic I was going for (lots of texture with succulents, berries, amaranthus, branches, eucalyptus, etc). She instantly put me at ease, and I knew I could trust her completely and not need to worry about a thing. When her quote came in a little high for my budget, she worked with me to retain the things I found important and cut costs where possible, even bringing down rental fees to make it happen. On the day of, the flowers were PERFECT! Everything looked like it came straight from a styled shoot on Pinterest. The colors, the textures, the styling...I couldn't have imagined anything better. You will not regret booking Moments in Bloom! Thank you Dede!

    We all enjoyed working with Dede (bride, groom, parents) and the results were just gorgeous! She listened carefully to our budget expectations, and exactly captured the tone and color palette of the wedding. We rented the rustic-looking arbor to use as a chuppah, and it worked out beautifully.

    I am so lucky to have found Moments in Bloom for my wedding. Tara was absolutely amazing! The florals were a big deal to me for my wedding day and Tara went above and beyond to make my vision come true. I was such an indecisive bride and kept changing my mind. Tara was so amazing and would discuss my ideas with me and steered me in the right direction. I live in Arizona but got married at the Estancia in La Jolla. Tara was so wonderful and always worked around my schedule for our phone calls and meeting. She created a beautiful arch for my ceremony that was nothing short of amazing! My wedding was everything I ever dreamed of and I cant thank Tara enough!!

    The advice I would share with a couple wondering if they should book Moments in Bloom would be to do it, your beautiful day deserves the absolute best! Holding fresh, vibrant, and stunning flowers is worth every single penny, your pictures will be more beautiful, you will feel the most gorgeous you have ever felt holding a Moments in bloom bouquet. Flowers don't last forever, but the memory of getting exactly what you wanted from your florist and seeing it in every picture is worth it, ten times over. I am so grateful for Tara for creating exactly what I wanted, when several other florists who shall remain nameless - told me that the color of flower I wanted wouldn't be available, she made it happen.

    Moments in Bloom did such a great job on my wedding flowers! I met with Tara several months before my wedding and I didn't know too much about flowers or what type I wanted, we just discussed the color scheme and what type of look I was going for. Fast forward to the big day and I couldn't have imagined anything better. They captured exactly what I had in mind! The centerpieces and the bouquets were absolutely beautiful. We also rented a 4 post wooden arch from them and had flowers put on the corner of the arch, I can't even describe how beautiful it made our ceremony. Moments in Bloom was amazing!

    Lionel and Katy Fujioka's Wedding September 6, 2015 I needed to take a moment to recognize this wonderful team of florists. This was our experience with Dede and Tara and we could not be happier with the results. About 6 months before our wedding, I was ready to book with another florist that was located much farther from our wedding site, the Carlsbad Hilton. We called our wedding coordinator at the Hilton, and her first recommendation was the Moments in Bloom team located in Carlsbad. My first interaction with Dede was email setting up a time that we could be introduced via FaceTime (we live 2 hours away from Carlsbad). I immediately feel in love with not only her professionalism and welcoming personality, but also the talent she displayed. Yes, on our first "meeting" FaceTime phone call, she created the centerpiece that was beyond what I envisioned. It was absolutely beautiful. I committed to Dede and her team on the spot. As the months passed, Dede was open to ALL the changes I made up until the week before the wedding. She was extremely patient with me. =] Her prices were fair, considering I did some shopping around before I was able to commit to her. The day of the wedding was THE FIRST TIME I was able to meet Dede and Tara personally. The day went beyond smooth because of the way they handled set up of all my beautiful arrangements, and so much more. Moments gave me so much to remember about our special day. It was BEYOND what I envisioned and it showed Dede and Tara's true talents considering we only communicated through email and phone calls. I cannot thank the Moments in Bloom team enough for making more than anything I could ever imagine. Thank you Dede and Tara! Your talents are beyond amazing!

    Dede & team were amazing! I was so overwhelmed by the thought of flowers for our wedding. First, I was under a strict budget, and dealing with a venue where ceremony, cocktail hour, reception & dinner were in 4 different locations! Dede helped guide me through the possibilities remaining in our budget and even adding special flowers where she could. She sent pictures to give me an idea of how it would look, and even ordered special gold vases for the dinner. They effectively moved flowers from ceremony to dinner and dinner seamlessly!

    At my sister's wedding, her flowers showed up green. I asked Dede if this would happen, and she laughed. When the flowers showed up, they were STUNNING. My bouquet was huge and much to my surprise, when I picked it up, it was so light! They made them look full and condensed, yet not overbearing. It was all beautiful, and I couldn't have been happier!!! --Amy Stacy

    Tara was Amazing to work with! During our initial consultation she completely understood the vision we were going for, and once we left we knew we could check flowers off of our to do list. We loved the work we had seen them do and felt 100% confident that the flowers for our special day would look just as great. We loved everything about our wedding flowers and we could not be happier we found Moments in Bloom! I would recommend Moments in Bloom to every San Diego bride!
