Flor De Monterey

They exceeded our expectation for our wedding this past Saturday. Vena was amazing to collaborate with and was very professional thru out the process. We loved the arrangements. Thank you so much.

After searching Unilocal for local florists, I decided on this one based on such positive reviews.
I came in at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon to get a simple bouquet for my friend for her birthday. I had pictures ready to show the lady (didn’t catch her name). She gave me suggestions and asked for a budget. Soon after, she was grabbing flowers and whipped together a beautiful sunflower arrangement. It was in a small square vase which was perfect for the occasion.
My arrangement was priced very reasonably, coming out to be about $ 30.
I think this is a cute little shop with a very friendly florist and staff. I’ll definitely be back for all my flower needs.

I walked into Flor de Monterey a few days ago looking to have a Christmas arrangement done for my mantel. I was able to describe what I was looking for and also be guided by what Vera (? I’m sorry, I forget her name now, but she was so friendly and wonderful) suggested. Making a custom piece was a very reasonable price and was ready in a very reasonable amount of time and overall I’m pleased as punch with the process and the product. :) I will definitely have more arrangements made by them in the future!

When it dawned on me that it was my Aunt’s birthday (who lives in Pacific Grove) and we hadn’t sent a card, I jumped to order her flowers. I discovered Flor De Monterey from Unilocal and scrambled to place an order. I searched her website, found the flowers I wanted to order, and called before placing the order (the flowers HAD to be delivered the same day — I’m a stickler). No questions, no problems, and done. Vena said she could have the flowers delivered the same day (and it was already after 12pm PT!) and I confirmed I would be placing my online order immediately. A few hours later I received a text msg from the Aunt, ecstatic over her flowers. Thank you for being amazing.

Vena is an angel! I contacted her months before my wedding and sent her pictures of the flowers I wanted and the design of my centerpieces for our cocktail hour. She went out of her way to make sure that when the day came, everything was exactly as agreed to and that all the flowers I wanted were perfect. Not only did she conform to every little detail discussed months prior, she and her staff (David) were so sweet and friendly.
From the second I walked into the shop which is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Monterey, Vena was so warm and welcoming. She gave me wonderful heartfelt wedding advice and I loved having the time to talk to her while I was there. She truly knows what customer service is all about. Thank you, Vena, for making the décor of my wedding look exactly as planned.

Vena was our florist for our wedding, and we LOVED working with her. She is truly an artist and puts a lot of thought into the arrangements that she creates. We brought her a mish mash of colors and flower ideas that she somehow used to craft our stunning bouquets and table arrangements. Vena is very flexible and easy to reach, we were always confident that she would more than exceed our expectations (which she did!). Thank you Vena!

We used this florist for our wedding and I couldn’t be happier. I showed Vena various pics of what I wanted and she helped me make final decisions on what flowers to use. The flowers were exactly what she promised. Everything was gorgeous — the bouquets, boutonnieres, floral arrangements, flower girl head pieces.

I am extremely impressed with this business! I called them needed three arrangements done quickly (one hour) with very specific direction (square vase, white flowers) and they totally came through for me! Not only were the arrangements done on time, they were beautiful and everyone was pleased!
They even went so far, that when I picked up the arrangements, they told me if I didn’t like them, they would make changes!
They were great and the price was reasonable! Highly recommend!

The bouquet I received for a late, last minutes order was astounding, an absolute beautiful piece. I hated to catch them so close to closing on a Saturday, but they were fabulous to work with me and my mother was so pleased with her surprise birthday bouquet!
The bouquet was more than I expected for such a fair price. I cannot state enough how beautifully put together it was and went beyond any flower piece I’ve purchased before.
I would recommend Flor De Monterey to anyone who needed a perfect, fairly priced masterpiece for a flower brightening event.
Thank you again, Flor De Monterey for your wonderful work.

I used Vena at Flor de Monterey to make all the flowers for our wedding. She is truly an artist and my bouquets were gorgeous! They were exactly how I described them to her and I could not have been happier. She was very professional and on the ball with everything, and super accommodating to last minute changes. I would recommend her to anyone, she helped make my day so special!

I have been going to Flor de Monterey for years for the office and my home. The flowers and plants are lovely and the service is wonderful. Vena is always so upbeat and willing to go the extra mile to make you happy.

My husband ordered flowers for my birthday from Flor De Monterey… I’m usually not too impressed with floral arrangements, but this one… it was freaking beautiful. Not only was it beautiful and tastefully arranged, it smelled amazing — how often do floral arrangements smell good?! Love this place!

WHY did I use FTD instead of Unilocal to get flowers delivered? After a tag team effort btw FTD and Destiny’s Precious Gifts to beat down my soul, Flor De Monterey saved the day. They were able to deliver the same day I ordered with a beautiful arrangement.
As for FTD and Destiny’s Precious Gifts, those guys are more like magicians, making things magically disappear, like my $ 85 and my mom’s «Mother’s Day» orchids. Unfortunately, they’re not very good magicians since they couldn’t make either of them re-​appear.

I needed flowers for a client — they were ready and beautiful and on time.
Great job, I am so pleased

Wedding:
Vena is great! I initially had trouble contacting her via email. Donal from my wedding venue (Intercontinental The Clement) told me that I MUST contact her, so I phoned instead. Vena is so sweet! She walked me through all the flower options and colors over the phone. I got an initial quote from her (that I ended up changing about 15 times) which was less than other florists in the area. She did an wonderful job on the flowers. I had a hot pink bouquet and received so many compliments on it. I initially didn’t budget for the amount I ended up spending on the flowers, but the arrangements really did add something special to my special day!
Don’t be fooled by the name Flor De Monterey… They do linen and chair covers as well. And they charge less than the event rental companies in Monterey!
Delivery:
Since Vena did a great job on my wedding, I called her last week to request delivery for a bouquet for Grandma’s birthday. I gave her a price I wanted to spend, the colors I wanted, and Vena put together a special bouquet and had them delivered on a SUNDAY!
Thanks, Vena!

I cannot say enough positive things about working with Vena and Esther of Flor de Monterey. I used Flor de Monterey for my wedding last month and my flowers were more than I had dreamt of. Vena’s prices were reasonable, she was extremely knowledgable about varieties, seasons, availability, etc. She truly took my vision and ran with it, and the result was far superior to what I had envisioned. I literally cried when I saw my sister’s bouquet, and stood in shock when my husband and I walked into our reception venue. Thank you Vena and Esther for making my day perfection!

Recently provided flowers and a runner for our wedding in Monterey. The flowers were beautiful, the price was reasonable and Vena was very knowledgeable. We certainly recommend Flor De Monterey — everything came on time as promised and the flowers were great!

We hired Vena to be the florist for our wedding in Carmel. She did an excellent job! The flowers looked astonishing! She even met me at the ceremony/​reception site to consult on what would look best and where. On the wedding day itself, I was overwhelmed with joy to see all of the beautiful arrangements Vena has created for us! A special surprise were the gorgeous blue orchids that she put in our yellow rose/​yellow gerbera daisy arrangements. The blue orchids turned out to be turquoise in color, which was one of our wedding colors! She was the second florist we met with (the first one was someone from Svenson and Silacci on Alvarado St.) and she immediately impressed me with her professionalism and, most importantly, affordability. All in all, Vena comes highly recommended! :)
