Blissful Rose Events & Floral 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Hood, CA

I love what a wedding celebration represents. The joining of friends and family to celebrate Love. The celebration of a commitment to love, respect, and companionship is the best reason to celebrate. I started my career as an events coordinator in my college years in Santa Cruz, CA. Upon my return to Sacramento, I started a business venture with my friend. We started off slow and within a couple years we were decorating beautiful weddings and coordinating wedding days. While it got busier with business, life also got busier. My friend had a child and I returned to graduate school.

I'm a planner, and I worked with Elena recently on a wedding. She was flexible, upbeat, and willing to work with us both on pricing (even over Valentine's Day weekend). She created beautiful arrangements for the ceremony and made the most stunning purse bouquet that matched our bride's vibe perfectly. She was also ready to pitch in if other vendors needed assistance. I'd work with Elena again in a heartbeat!

Erica was one of the most impressive vendors for our August wedding - she absolutely brought my vision to life and I am so thankful for her efforts! I loved my bridal bouquet so much that I insisted on bringing it up to Lake Tahoe with us on our honeymoon, and then I hung it to dry it once I got home. It gave me so much joy looking down at those beautiful flowers on the drive to Tahoe after the wedding. Erica was so patient and understanding throughout the whole process and made it so easy. She is a true artist and managed to get me exactly what I wanted for our wedding - in fact it was even better than I could have ever imagined! I recommend her 100%. Thank you so much Erica!

Choose one of our DIY flower kits or get a custom plan based on your colors, style, and budget.

Awarded Best of Zola
The flowers (on our order) came in large boxes, but they were not labeled, so it took a minute to get the flowers both identified and properly set up. To be fair we were warned about the process, but not about the length of time due to our inexperience. As a note, it took my fiancé 5 hours to process the flowers when first receiving them. I also did not have any updates from them from the time I ordered till they were being shipped. They were beyond more affordable compared to other florists, and the flowers arrived alive and in good spirits. We were able to keep the flowers alive for over four days!! Many of the flowers that we chose did not have specific instructions, so we had to follow the general reference for the flowers and hope for the best. Additionally, some of the flowers that we wanted were not in stock, and they were replaced for us with substitutes but were not notified until we had all of the flowers already delivered to us. Also, as a note, bloom culture uses third party sellers for their flowers, so the quality may vary depending on location. Our flowers were in good condition, and the company we had clearly took good care of the flowers prior to delivering them to us. Would we do it again? Probably not, but it made for good laughs and bonding time and we have stories to tell from it!
