Absolute Elegance

I was just the hostess for my Nephew’s wedding at Crystal Springs Country Club, so I didn’t do the ordering, but being that I am a Floral Designer myself, I liked what he did, and he was a very nice person to work with.

David was referred to me by a friend and I’m very grateful he was able to be our florist for our wedding day. We met David on two occasions and he was very thorough about the types of flowers or colors we were going with. He ran over details I overlooked and I felt very comfortable working with him. He showed me samples of his work which was helpful for me to visualize the sizing and shape of our arrangements. At the end, David surpassed my expectations and we had beautiful bouquets and centerpieces.

David is so amazing. He was our florist for our wedding, and I’m so glad that I chose him! We were referred to David through a long-​time family friend.
When I first approached David, I had literally 0 ideas of what kinds of flowers I wanted, how I wanted them to look, or anything. For me, I just wanted my flowers to look pretty, I wanted them to last a while (i.e. not get brown after sitting outside out of water for a bit), and I wanted them to match the feel of my venue + my color scheme for my wedding.
David accommodated my budget as best as I could have asked for. All he needed to do was look at a few photos of the venue, receive a color swatch of what my bridesmaids were wearing, and just be told how many people needed which flowers. From there, David took care of all of the rest. The flowers were beautiful — absolutely breath-​taking; they matched the feel of our entire wedding ridiculously well, and he made the flowers in such a way that we were able to use multiple pieces for different purposes. For example, he made 3 pieces that went on the altar for the ceremony, that later just got moved around to ultimately become the decorations on our sweetheart table and in front of the wedding cake — and it totally worked because the pieces were done so well! In addition, my relatives loved taking home the centerpieces because they were so beautiful. The flowers were also fresh, so they lasted the entire day without even a single hint of browning.
David is such a creative genius — extremely responsive to requests and communications, detail-​oriented, and accommodating. I would 100% trust him with any important event if you want beautiful, well-​done flowers that match your personality and style for a reasonable price.

We were referred to David from a family friend, and he did an absolutely phenomenal job at our wedding. I had a very specific style in mind for my vineyard/​barn wedding, and David’s interpretation of my ideas totally blew me away. I wanted natural-​looking, wild, spring-​garden-​like flowers, and he delivered. The flowers were absolutely beautiful, above-​and-​beyond what I was expecting. He was also great to work with. We met several times prior to the wedding, and he was always very professional and open to my ideas. Additionally, on the day of the wedding, he not only did a wonderful job setting up the flowers at the venue, he even ended up pitching in to help my dad and brother set-​up other non-​floral items. I would highly highly recommend David for your wedding flowers.

It’s been 14yrs since our wedding and David was wonderful. I wanted to make sure the flowers looked great for the photos and venue. Everyone loved the arrangements and special touches he added to the cake table and restroom. Very easy to work with and very professional. I’ve even used him for flowers for my sister’s celebration of life. Very tasteful and beautiful as always. I’m glad you’re still in business David!

All the flowers David provided were great. He worked with our budget to provide great looking flowers. The flowers he showed us in his portfolio basically matched what he was going to provide for us. There were thing we wanted for our flowers that were out of budget but he worked on alternatives that looked as good but cost less to bring us into budget. Also, all of our guests complimented how good they looked. We couldn’t be happier with David and his flowers.

I could not be more pleased with the flowers David did for our wedding… they were absolutely gorgeous! I felt like a princess with my bouquet and the flower arrangements for our wedding dinner were stunning. The quality of David’s work and his reasonable prices are a winning combination. He is truly an artist. I highly recommend him.

Prior to meeting David, we had met with two other florists our wedding venue had recommend. My wife and I were shocked at the cost of wedding flowers. David came to us highly recommended from a friend who had used him on several occasions. We met with him twice to go over our floral ideas and he showed us pictures of floral arrangements from previous wedding that he had worked on. Let’s just say those pictures do not do justice to what David can actually create for you.
My wife was so pleasantly surprise at how beautiful the bridal bouquets was when he delivered them to her hotel room. We were also very HAPPY with the centerpieces, sweetheart table, cake and ceremony floral designs that David had created for us. Considering what we had paid, ALL the flowers were better than what we had envisioned. He went above and beyond what we talked about to make our wedding day Beautiful.
David is very talented, friendly and professional. He will work with your budget to make an incredible floral designs. We would recommend him to everybody.

David is a true talent and we were so lucky to have him as our wedding florist! He is not only organized and professional, but also very honest, kind, and thoughtful. I’m a pretty picky bride, and after looking through pages and pages of Pinterest, I had my heart set on a soft, romantic look, full of peonies, garden roses, ranunculus, and dahlias. I don’t know how David made it possible, but he was able to give me my dream flowers in March when no one else could! On the wedding day, David even came to find me to make sure I felt everything was okay. The flowers were not just okay, but perfect! I still remember how fresh and beautiful the flowers were and how wonderful they smelled. If only they could last forever. David really listens and took note of all the details I wanted, from the rose-​filled/​candle-​lit manzanita trees at the altar, to the table centerpieces that varied in height. David is very tasteful and creative. When he was not able to find the exact type of vase I wanted for my centerpieces, he found a similar vase and glued it to a candle holder! (see «medium centerpiece»). They were so pretty and no one could tell. He also suggested we use smaller manzanita branches as centerpieces to add «texture» to the room which was lovely. I couldn’t have been happier with the final result! He made our dreams come true and I would recommend him to anyone! See the pictures for yourself!

David is truly a life saver. Called him the week before our wedding to do the florals for our wedding. While most other florist were too busy to take us on, David was more than happy to take us! So thank you very very much!
We called David, had an idea and not too big of a budget. He made everything work! We sent him photos of what we were inking and he said he had it handled. We. Implement left it up to him.
David also took care of the boutonnières, corsages and 11 center pieces! He used the most beautiful florals for the center pieces and our mothers loved their corsages! He arrived at the venue and had everything taken care of without me ever worrying about a thing! Our guests loved what he did with such little time and modest budget!
If you’re in a pinch do yourself a favor and call David. If you don’t have much vision, David’s the guy to help you come up with ideas and keep if very affordable. Absolutely recommend David to any couples who need a wedding florist!

David is amazing an artist he is. Did our wedding many years ago. I have attended weddings and referred customers to him and wow such designs just beautiful and the flowers are always fresh. Saw him in action assembling a wedding in the restaurant and he indeed can work under pressure. Also order arrangements for the sad occasion and his piece is always outstanding no other piece like his. Will not be disappointed using Absolute Elegance up to date designs and beautiful work David Wong.

I got married 2 weeks ago and did not want to forget to write a review for David! I initially found David through Unilocal but found out that my boss knew him as well. I had met with 2 other florists prior to meeting David just so I had an idea of what kind of florist I wanted to work with and to compare prices as well. Our initial meeting took place about 9 – 10 months before our wedding. We went over what my vision was and he gave me his recommendations. I told him what my budget was and he was great about working with it without compromising what I wanted. After our initial meeting and after I decided to go with David we kept in touch throughout the months via email and then met one more time in person a few weeks before the wedding to finalize all the details. Come wedding day I was ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY with the centerpieces when I walked into the ballroom. They were larger and even better than what I had imagined and what we had discussed. I wanted to call David right then and there just to tell him how happy I was. He was so easy to work with, his prices are reasonable especially when you’re on a «wedding budget» and his work is beautiful!!! Thank you David for making the day that more memorable. I will post pictures as soon as our photographer sends them.

I choose Absolute Elegance because of the great Unilocal reviews but I was oh so disappointed when I saw the floral arrangement I had sent to a funeral home for my husband’s aunt. It was the smallest arrangement in the entire room and for the money I spent ($ 135.00) the size and amount of flowers was not at all what I had expected. I even felt I had to apologize to the family and also the other 2 families that went in on the flowers.
Dave was very nice to deal with and I was hoping I had found a florist to do further business with but not with this experience. Sorry!!!

Looking back at my wedding pictures prompted me to post this review of my experience with Absolute Elegance. I am very particular about what I like and i can not say enough about how David came thru for me at my wedding. With 300+ guests at the wedding, I wanted lots of beautiful arrangements without breaking the bank. He patiently walked thru the pros and cons of the flowers I had in mind. He worked within my budget to design the most beautiful bouquets and arrangements.

David Wong was such a pleasure to work with while planning my wedding. I had so many questions along the way and David always responded to me very promptly with wonderful suggestions. When the flowers arrived on my big day, I couldn’t have been happier — my bridal bouquet was the prettiest one I’ve ever seen! I can’t wait to see my wedding photos. The corsages and boutonnieres were beautiful as well. Great customer service and gorgeous arrangements — I highly recommend Absolute Elegance!

Absolute Elegance stepped in to help me with flowers for my husband’s memorial, after I had had a terrible experience elsewhere (DO NOT GO TO Paul’s Flowers in Colma EVER!).
David met me within 30 minutes of me calling him, treated me with complete compassion at a difficult time, made flower selection as easy as possible and arrived earlier than expected on the day of the funeral.
He has a wonderful temperament and great skill with arrangements. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Highly recommend.

I truly enjoyed my experience working with Dave Wong as I was planning my wedding. Trying to plan a 500 guests wedding was quite stressful but Dave’s expertise and friendly demeanor made me feel at ease when it came to the flowers. I just told Dave my wedding colors and that I wished for something simple, but elegant and he went above and beyond my expectations. I was floored by how he transformed a large traditional Chinese banquet hall into a simply elegant venue.
I’ve referred him to several friends and know of several who have used his services with only good things to say about him. Even when another friend decided to work on her own flowers for her wedding due to her smaller budget, Dave was so kind and offered us free advice. He’s truly one who values his customers.

Recently a friend had to be up from Southern California for a few days to attend to the passing of her father. David was able to handle a very short notice order (1 day) for funeral arrangements, efficiently and discreetly. He has been in the floral business for almost 30 years and knows the delivery locations and hours of the funeral homes/​cemeteries in the Bay Area. We appreciated the ease with which he accommodated our needs during a difficult time and without adding any other distractions.

David Wong, of Absolute Elegance, is one of the best vendors I’ve ever had the
pleasure of working with — for any event, both big and small. I first met him
when I coordinated a friend’s wedding, and not only did I later hire him for my
own wedding, but I continue to refer him to all my friends and colleagues.
David is extremely accommodating and while he may offer knowledgeable advice,
he never is pushy because he clearly values his client’s opinions and comfort
level.

David is an exceptionally hard worker. He will put in the extra effort and time to ensure everything he makes is top quality. With strict attention to detail and quick hands, he can easily turn your next event into an elegant wonder. He is very dedicated in ensuring your confidence with him in order to build long lasting business relationships, as he’s been my family’s florist for years. He’s saved my life countless times by artfully creating beautiful bouquets for my girlfriend when I couldnt find a gift. I highly recommend him. You won’t be disappointed.
