Maritza absolutely blew us away with our wedding day flowers! My jaw literally hit the floor when I first saw my bouquet and my bridesmaids' bouquets. If you're having your wedding...
in the Santa Barbara area, we highly recommend working with Maritza!
The entire process of working with Maritza was seamless. We had a planning call a few months before our wedding day to discuss our style (colors, flowers, etc) and to align on types of arrangements, counts, etc. Maritza was a great thought partner on what would make sense for our venue and budget, and she was very attentive to our desires (for example, I gave her a list of flowers and colors I did not want to see in our arrangements and she respected that 100%).
Her team showed up on time to deliver all of our flowers and do the strike down at the end of the night and were very friendly and professional. We are SO glad we chose Maritza for our florals!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Maritza!

Maritza was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding on October 13 at the Madonna Inn. From the very beginning, she was so easy to communicate with and immediately understood...
my vision. I wanted over-the-top pink florals, and that is exactly what she delivered—unique, full, lush, and beyond anything I could have imagined.
The florals truly made our wedding. They were show-stopping and completely brought my pink dreams to life. One of the most amazing parts was that we were able to repurpose the flowers from the ceremony to the reception, and Maritza handled moving everything over seamlessly. Seeing them transformed in the reception space was incredible.
I know florals can feel like a big investment for many couples, but I cannot emphasize enough how much of an impact they made on our day—it was 100% worth it. The flowers elevated the entire event and made it feel magical.
Maritza is incredibly talented, professional, and such a joy to work with. I can’t say enough good things about her and would recommend her to anyone looking for stunning florals and a wonderful experience.

d complete trust in her artistic vision—and she exceeded every expectation.
The moment I saw my bouquet and the flowers, I was absolutely blown away. They were stunning, far beyond anything I had envisioned.
The entire process was seamless from start to finish. Maritza was incredibly flexible, responsive, and easy to work with, making the experience stress-free and enjoyable.
If you're considering Flourish Designs, I wholeheartedly encourage you to move forward—you will not be disappointed. Should I host another event in her area, I will absolutely be hiring her again.
Thank you, Maritza, for helping make my day more beautiful than I ever imagined.

tza was professional, creative, and incredibly attentive to details. I was having trouble deciding on florals (white v champagne v pinks) and she ~patiently~ took the time to understand our vision and delivered beyond our expectations. Like, WAY beyond….and respected our budget. The bouquets were absolutely stunning and the floral arrangements at the venue truly elevated the entire celebration. The flowers lasted well throughout the ceremony and reception (we repurposed our arch and cocktail hour florals), and we received endless compliments from guests. Maritza exceeded all our expectations. She’s special!! 🫶🏼

e worked with her to switch up our design of a couple items throughout the process and she was incredibly accommodating and made it so comfortable and made us feel no shame in wanting to tweak to get exactly our design vision. Aside from the incredibly wonderful time we had planning and working with her, the floral arrangements turned out STUNNING! They were exactly what we imagined and more, everything was so beautiful and exactly the style we wanted. It’s truly amazing how many different floral design styles Maritza can do, it seems like there is literally nothing she can’t do! She was so fast in set up and with repurposing florals (ceremony to reception arrangements) and was so incredibly sweet. Truly a lovely person with an incredible eye for design, immense talent to create beautiful, stunning arrangements, with a professional and efficient attitude. We can’t stress enough to anyone how much we recommend Maritza. AMAZING value for the prices they charge as well. Flourish is much less than average in price and 100000% more than average in skill, personality, floral design. She made the process wonderful and made our wedding beautiful. We love you Maritza!!

Maritza did bouquets for me and my bridesmaids and boutonnières/pins for my husband, his groomsmen, and our parents for our wedding on 5/19/24. She was extremely responsive, profes...
sional, and was super easy to work with. She was also one of the few florists we found that just did personal florals and didn’t have a large minimum, which was amazing and perfect for our budget (for a minute I had a hard time finding that and was worried I was going to have do to flowers myself!). She also delivered to us at the venue!
Most importantly, she is an ARTIST. I wasn’t too picky about the bouquets and boutonnières, because I didn’t have a specific vision in my head. During our final meeting with Maritza, basically all I did was give her my Pinterest board with inspo pics, and essentially told her to run free haha. She asked some specific questions, like if I had to have any flowers, what color for the ribbon, but overall was happy to just take it and go. What she showed up with at my wedding was absolutely OUTSTANDING. My jaw was on the floor. And the boutonnières were perfect accents to the bouquets!! I am still blown away 2.5 weeks later thinking about it. They really were the perfect cherry on top to the day, and I loved my bouquet so much that we rushed to get them preserved afterwards because I wanted to keep them forever. Maritza is the best, her prices are super fair, and I would rehire her in a heartbeat!

d and kept a log of my ideas and what I had stated I wanted, even though the initial planning meeting was about a year before our event! The florals turned out so wonderful and I received so many compliments on them! Even to this day, over a month after the wedding I am still getting compliments on them. They were my dream that came to life. Maritza asked a lot of questions during the planning meeting in order to truly gather an understanding of my vision. I’m very particular when planning things, and she took my detail oriented needs in strides and knocked the florals out of the ballpark. I communicated with so many florists, but as soon as I talked to Maritza, I knew she was the florist to pick. She was always so kind and offered ideas when I felt a little too overwhelmed with options without ever being pushy.

You could tell the flowers were extremely fresh and they lasted longer than a week after the wedding concluded. Highly recommend!!

color palette, floral types and arrangement style was totally in sync with what I was envisioning. I wanted the floral shapes to be natural and organic with a little bounce and some negative space between the flowers. Maritza took my vague descriptions and nailed every single detail. I got so, so many compliments on the florals.
She was so supportive day of and went way above and beyond her duties. She is a master at her craft and put me so at ease throughout the entire process. I can not recommend her enough! Thank you Maritza!

Hidden gem! Saved our wedding!
At Flourish Design, we worked with Maritza. It was about 3 weeks from the wedding and our last vendor disappeared on us. In a panic, we found Maritza...
, explained the situation and asked what she could do on short notice. When I say she was the MOST PROFESSIONAL person I've ever met, I truly mean it. She understood our situation, spoke to us for over an hour to truly understand what we wanted, and got to work right away. That's not even the best part. The best part is her creativity. If you work with her, you must ask her about her alternatives to arches and decorating your sweetheart table. When we saw pictures of what she could do, we simply asked Maritza to explore her creativity and we would trust what she felt matched our wedding. Her work was so incredible, that not only did our guests compliment her work, the venue itself was taken away on how beautiful everything looked. So to reiterate, Maritza and Flourish Design will sit and truly learn who you are and what you envision your wedding to be. And if you allow her to get creative, she will exceed your expectations 100%. We were so blessed and happy to work with this company. Genuinely recommend 10/10!!
