Katie E. Sent on 01/01/2024Thank you Patti & team!
Willow & Plum is a Mission Ranch preferred florist and we highly recommend! Patti is responsive, embraced our vision, and delivered seamlessly. We were looking for a natural, California coast look but wanted it to be sustainable as possible. Patti recommended incorporating potted plants that guests could take home and it was perfect. Patti also joined us for a venue walk through which was super helpful. She was also the only local vendor who provided an itemized estimate; as someone who works in corporate partnerships I was surprised this wasn't commonplace. Overall, I highly recommend Patti and would absolutely choose Willow & Plum again! -

Patti and Erica were an absolute pleasure to work with. Unfortunately, due to COVID and having to cancel/ reschedule our wedding three times we were not able to use them for our wedding. (We eloped instead) They were so professional, creative, and attentive throughout the entire, painful process. They curated our vision perfectly and helped us create an ideal aesthetic for our big day. They truly could not have been any more caring, understanding, or thoughtful during this whole process. Patti reached out multiple times throughout the varies setbacks just to check in and see how I was doing. I was truly touched by her empathy and care. She also generously refunded us all our deposits voluntarily. This was such an amazing gesture and so much appreciated because all our other vendors were horrible in this sense and didn't offer us a penny back. I am so sad we didn't get to bring our vision to life but to anyone getting married in the Carmel, Monterey, Big Sur area I would highly recommend Willow & Plum!!!! -

I used to work in a flower shop back in the day so I know and LOVE flowers. To say that we were blown away by Patti and her team at Willow & Plum is an understatement! She took the time to really understand our vision and more importantly our essence. When the first budget was a bit too high for us she worked with us to get exactly what we wanted (even MORE so) and still work within our budget!!! It's tough because we live in los angeles and our wedding was in Big Sur so there is always a risk of not knowing what you are going to get...but Patti made me feel so at ease that I knew I didn't have to worry. She more than exceeded our expectations!!!! From my incredibly gorgeous and unique bouquet, my man's tasteful and super unique boutonniere , the exquisite ceremony mandala and the tables and dream catchers...all of it...perfection.
I PROMISE you will LOVE Patti and she will make your wedding MAGICAL! She truly made our wedding magical.

Florist extraordinaire!
Contacting Patti of Willow and Plum was the single best decision I made during wedding planning. From our initial consult, where she was able to shape my ideas into something concrete, from our in-person meeting at her gorgeous studio, I knew I had nothing to worry about. We were in excellent hands! Patti is extremely kind, flexible, has a great eye and delivers beyond expectations. The morning of the wedding, I was blown away by the bouquets, boutonnieres, and flower girl crowns she dropped off while I was getting ready. I was so excited to see the venue but even my most wild imagination could not begin to describe the reality when I got there. It was floral heaven! I cannot thank Patti and her team enough. We got compliments all night (and afterwards) about the flowers. My wedding coordinator also loved working with her. I am so thankful to have found Willow and Plum and give them my highest recommendation! -

Patti and Erica of Willow and Plum are amazing! Patti is very responsive, has impeccable taste, a dreamy aesthetic and truly puts such great care into her work!
She helped guide my vision and I was blown away on the day of the wedding with how gorgeous every detail was! It was such a magical day and the florals really pulled the entire look together!
This team really goes above and beyond and I feel so lucky to have them part of my big day! In fact, they even showed up after the ceremony while we were still taking pictures and they effortlessly jumped into help capture the perfect shot with the veil! They are the MVP of wedding vendors!
Willow and Plum also worked with mother in law for our rehearsal dinner florals which were equally beautiful! -

In our first conversation, I knew off the bat that I would work with Patti on my wedding flowers. She was professional, personable and listened very carefully to the story of my fiance and me and my hopes for our wedding style. To say I was blown away when I arrived on our wedding day and saw her creations would be an understatement. What a group of talented, friendly, professional floral artists! I hope Willow & Plum in business when my daughter gets married...highly recommend! -

I contacted Patti for a bouquet for my elopement in Big Sur, CA. It was certainly a smaller project than your average wedding but she listened to my vision and created a stunning wedding bouquet that exceeded every expectation I could have conceived of. She is simply amazing - and a sweetheart on top of that! I highly recommend! -

Katie Sent on 09/02/2018Patti of Willow & Plum was my absolute favorite vendor for my wedding in Carmel Valley, CA. She was super responsive, super helpful, and so lovely to work with! Her flower arrangements/decorations for my wedding were better than I even imagined, and everything was so gorgeous and perfect! She even went out of her way to accommodate my last minute requests, such as buying us an avocado tree and planting it for us for our ceremony, and filling 140 bags with petals for our grand exit. She took care of all the little details and truly made my vision come to life. Seriously, she was the best vendor and I can't say enough good things about her and her work. Use Willow & Plum as your florist! You will not be disappointed.

Great aesthetic & allows you to be a hands-off bride!
I worked with Willow & Plum for my 2-day/2-ceremony event. Going in, I knew I wanted to give the florist free reign within a specific budget and loose color scheme, so it was important to pick a vendor that felt trustworthy and that would provide good work. I provided Patti basic info and let her team do their magic. They were respectful of the budget and very responsive. -

Jessica Sent on 07/26/2018Planning a destination wedding is no easy task. I had to base my initial decisions off weddingwire and Instagram but man did I knock it out of the park with Willow and Plum. We immediately fell in love with Patti the moment we met her. She has this amazing calming affect upon introduction, like you know you are in good hands and have nothing to worry about. We wanted boho yet classy and she came up with the perfect term wabi-sabi which means perfectly imperfect. Our non traditional chuppah was exactly what we were looking for and met everything we had asked for. Just all the things from the cocktail decor, to the center pieces, to the bouquets and everything in between was just breath taking. Thank you so much to Patti and her team for making our day truly unique to us and making it truly special. I could go on and on lol. You are a gem! xoxo

Taylor Sent on 12/28/2017We absolutely loved our flowers and decor!!! Willow and Plum went above and beyond what we could have ever imagined. All of our guests also raved about them. They said it was like a "Pinterest board dream come true"! We are from Texas and unfortunately, we weren't able to meet up with Patti or Erica beforehand. So, there was some anxiety about whether or not they would treat us the same as customers they're able to build more of a relationship with. But they did not disappoint! Everything was beyond beautiful and we were speechless when we walked into the reception site! They were able to find all of the different types of flowers we requested and added to them to make gorgeous arrangements! I highly recommend them and cannot say enough good things about them and their work!

Katy Sent on 11/21/2017I could not have asked for anything more beautiful on my wedding day! Patti was fantastic to work with from the beginning through the end. She went above and beyond to communicate with us and understand our vision for the day. I felt totally confident with our discussions and emails leaving everything in her hands. Patti is not just a florist, but a true wedding stylist. Her choices for draping my arch, and decorating my ceremony, cocktail hour and reception spaces were spot on! She found the perfect balance between beautiful decor and allowing the amazing view and outdoor ceremony location to work together. My bouquet was AMAZING and contained so many unexpected surprise elements that truly were unique and special. I don't have a great picture of it yet - or I would post it because it should be shared with the world! We had a rain scare the week leading up to the wedding and Patti was amazing with a perfect back up plan and flexibility to make it happen if necessary (it didn't rain!) In addition to being the best event florist on the Peninsula, her prices were reasonable and we really felt we received an incredible value for our floral budget. I would absolutely recommend Patti for any wedding or event - she is amazingly creative and her work is truly art! Thank you Patti for helping to create the wedding of our dreams!

Sarah Sent on 09/26/2017Patti was an absolute dream to work with! I got married at the Monterey Plaza two months ago and Patti from Willow and Plum did all the reception flowers, cake flowers, and wedding party flowers. Everything came out spectacularly! I started out not really knowing anything about flower arrangements or varieties but since I had a small budget for flowers I was open to anything. When I talked to Patti she immediately knew what to do in my budget that would still look formal and like a wedding. At the last minute I had some extra budget I wanted to put toward the flowers and Patti was super flexible and knew exactly what to do to make it a little more 'wow'. The end result was absolutely beautiful and everyone at the wedding was commenting on how fantastic it all turned out! Willow and Plum was by far one of my favorite vendors. If I were to do it all over again I wouldn't hesitate to use Willow and Plum!
