FAKE FLOWERS, REAL REVIEW!!! I hate to do this, but I would never recommend Fleurs Divine. I hate long reviews but I feel like I need to share my experience in hopes it helps other brides. I was SHOCKED to discover that there were FAKE flowers in my bouquet! I gave Monika the benefit of the doubt even though many brides who used her at DCI had warned us about her. I was constantly reaching out to get answers and updates. In our initial meeting I shared photos and examples of what I wanted and followed up with a detailed email since she did not provide me with an invoice. I paid cash deposit the day we met and the receipt was a ripped piece of paper. Yes, that’s right. Not a form, receipt or contract - just a plain white piece of paper. I’m a project manager by trade and am very detail oriented so I made sure to reiterate my order in email to ensure it was documented. I had to follow up a few times in order to get an invoice (which essentially was the order listed in an email - no forms or docs). When we first met, we were unsure of what decor we wanted for the ceremony but was told we had a while to decide since we booked a year in advance. Once we decided, I followed up a few months after specifically asking for a floral arch with flowers up top on both sides (top portion only) because I didn’t see the point of having flowers on the lower half of the arch since they’re usually covered by the bride or bridal party who are standing right in front of it. I emailed an example of an arch that Monika had recently created as inspiration and made sure to call out the placement of the florals. I had to follow up multiple times to get confirmation of receipt of the email and what the new quote would be. Day of, I was upset to see that the flowers were not placed like I requested. I pointed it out to someone on her team and they were aloof. I decided to let it go because I didn’t want to let it ruin my day. I also shared an image of what I had envisioned for the cake and centerpieces and was so shocked with what appeared day of. Again, I let it go because it was too late to do anything about it and didn’t want to let it ruin my day. But the flowers were nothing like the image of the cake and were a different color from my whole color scheme. Our colors for floral were white flowers and greenery & eucalyptus. The flowers on the cake had peach tones in them which I hated and no eucalyptus to be found in the centerpiece. The last straw for me, was when I discovered the fake flowers in my bouquet!!! It was extremely heartbreaking! I completely understand the pandemic has affected many things - supply chain, shortages and many parts of businesses. But what I don’t expect is the pandemic to affect customer service. I saw Monika a few days prior to the wedding to drop off decor for the center pieces and she never mentioned anything to me. This bad review could have been avoided if she communicated with me that the flowers I specifically requested were not available. If she was honest and presented me with options, I would’ve been happy to select another flower or even maybe approve the fake flower. The lack of professionalism and communication left a very sour taste in my mouth.

Working with Monika was the easiest part of our wedding. She provided great service and quality floral arrangements. I would recommend anyone to seek out her services.

I highly recommend this wedding florist! All I did was give her a general idea of my desired color scheme and aesthetic, and she completely brought my vision to life with her creative use of seasonal flowers. Not only was her work absolutely stunning, but the prices were also very reasonable. For around $3,000, I received a beautiful bridal bouquet, three bridesmaid bouquets, florals for the arch, 15 garlands, and a few boutonnieres and corsages. I was absolutely thrilled with the final result and couldn't have asked for a better florist to help bring my wedding day dreams to fruition. Thank you for your amazing work!

My wife had a good experience with Monika. She was accommodating with some of our requirements to pick up the night before the wedding. She was able to follow the vision my wife set for her and she delivered a 5 star service. We also had her come in and setup the flowers herself, so we were able to thank her for the beautiful work she did for us. I would recommend her services.

Monika did a great job with our flowers for my wedding last week! We had an arch with two large flower arrangements, about six bouquets and boutineers each, some flowers for some aisle seats, and ivy for our centerpieces that we supplied.Everything was full and gorgeous, showing off our colors of white, cream, green, and red, as we had asked. My wife accidentally had left her bouquet behind, but our bridal attendant had it placed in a vase with water and left it outside with our decorations to pick up the next day. The thing still looked pristine despite being outside in the July heat all night and morning.For what we asked and how everything looked, we thought the flowers were very affordable, and we are very satisfied.

Let me start by saying no one has any idea the process of how much hard work goes into making floral arrangements and bouquets for someone’s special day. It truly is a labor of love from the ordering process, getting what you need delivered, preparing all the flowers and arranging them. Monika devotes her heart and soul to trying to provide the most beautiful arrangements possible within the budget she is allotted by each bride. She even goes above and beyond to ensure the quality meets her own expectations which is really high. To post negative reviews and have that of your bridal party also post negative reviews is appalling. There are countless hours spent to provide the best possible product to accommodate and meet the needs of every bride. Hurting small businesses that provide this quality and compassion is outright disgraceful. You are not just attempting to hurt the business but personally attack the owner and staff that work effortlessly to make your day special. We work really hard to please everyone. That being said, small businesses will not survive and you will have to order your flowers online or at the closest supermarket. Is that your intentions for your special day??? Please review all her work on her Instagram site to make your own conclusions. Giving constructive criticism is always welcome but when it is warranted, attacking someone is outright saddening. .

Absolutely Ruined my wedding day. Didn’t even respond when I reached out to her about my flowers. I had initially asked for a sample which she says she doesn’t usually do but was willing to for $60, which I agreed. Never got it which was my fault for not following up but wedding planning does that to you. Come day of, the bridesmaids bouquets are half what we agreed upon and the centerpieces were sad and nothing what I asked for. I asked for a garland for My head table I got a string with 5 roses. Ruined my make up crying about it.

So sad to say that this florist had my friend IN TEARS on her wedding day! The owner did not stick to the signed agreement of flower arrangements at all. flowers were missing from the center pieces and poorly arranged garland flowers on the bride & groom’s table. Don’t expect a response from her after you pay. I am so disappointed in the lack of professionalism from this business. Think twice before using their services to avoid wedding day tears!

This florist had my sister in tears on her wedding day! Did not meet any of her expectations. Did very basic / minimal floral arrangements that were nowhere near what was agreed upon. She also did the same thing to a friend of mine. Stay away!!

Wish I could give 0 stars. Completely different than agreed contract. My friend was in tears the day of her wedding!!! The “cascade garland” she agreed upon was a string with 4 roses - looked so sad. And then when my friend tried to reach out to her she had no response.Unprofessional and disappointing!

Did not stick to contract for wedding arrangements. Comaplained about the budget we agreed on after all was done when we were understanding the entire time she said there were shortages in flowers and vases we chose. Horrible outcome. Do not book her she won't even reply after getting paid.

Fleurs Divine is SIMPLY the BEST! Look no further for amazingly beautiful floral designs. Monika brought our wedding floral concept to life on 4/9/2022. The flowers were beautiful, extremely fresh, and were carefully crafted into stunning bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and floral arrangement which were placed around David's Country Inn. The two-theme approach was flawlessly executed with black & white flowers in the banquet room, and multi color flower in the cocktail and public areas at David's. Our guests commented how beautifully the floral arrangements complimented the day. Thank you, Monika, for making the most awesome floral pieces. If you are still considering floral choices stop now and book Fleurs Devine! You will not be sorry

Monika did a beautiful job on my bouquet, the centerpieces and the arch for my wedding at David’s Country Inn earlier this month! Everything looked perfect and I couldn’t be more grateful for the work that she did! Highly recommend!
