We had the pleasure of working with My Splendid Sentiments on a wedding just over a week ago.  You never know what the end result will be when working with a new florist.  Sometimes they deliver exactly what you expect them to, sometimes they fall short and occasionally they blow you away.  My Splendid Sentiments blew us away!  First, their ability to work with a budget is unbelievable!  The bride had to re-adjust her budget after contracting My Splendid Sentiments, but with some changes and tweaks they were still able to deliver the bride’s vision!
The bouquets were exquisite and perfectly detailed.  I myself am not a fan of a floral bouquet bedazzled within an inch of its life.  But the brides bouquet of merlot calla lilies, black magic roses and monkey tails was exquisite.  On the occasional calla there was a trio of jewels accenting the petal and a few monkey tails sported jewels also.  But they hit just the right note of accenting the flowers and not weighing them down.
The flowers were fresh!  I have on occasion brought home a bouquet from a wedding that was left strewn around when everyone else was gone.  The white rose ones brown and die in a couple of days because the flowers are not as fresh.  The white rose bouquet from My Splendid Sentiments lasted a week.  I was even able to pull out a few roses that were still looking fresh and put them in a small vase…they’re still going strong!
And the professionalism of their staff was completely refreshing!  They worked effectively and efficiently as a team and looked like professionals.  The ladies had matching black aprons and the guys wore black polos…it definitely speaks to how detailed they are.
There was a timing issue that came up and when we told our contact about it she said, “Okay!  We’ll take care of it.”

My Splendid Sentiments is definitely on my list of quality and professional florists in San Diego!
