TLDR: Fleurisse Design (Willbe) not only beautifully brought our floral vision to life, adding the most important visual touch to our wedding, but was extremely easy to work with when it came to her quick & clear communication, accommodation to our budget & vision, and was both personable & professional.
We first found Willbe through Instagram. We were immediately in love with her overall style and aesthetic that is both modern and whimsical. Bonus points that some of the gorgeous arrangements she makes are with blooms from her very own garden.
We reached out to her and several other florists. After our initial correspondences and meeting, we ultimately decided to go with Willbe for several reasons (and we felt really good about that decision!):
(1) Communication: From the get-go, Willbe was very responsive and has good communication systems in place. We submitted a form via her website, we corresponded over email, and we were able to set up a virtual meeting to chat.

(2) Value: Willbe's prices were middle of the road (we got some lower and much higher quotes), and we felt that the product and services she was offering in exchange for the quality and design were well worth it. Additionally, she was willing to work with our budget and desire to have our guests be able to take home the beautiful arrangements!
(3) Design: Of course her work is absolutely breathtaking and beautiful!!!
My husband and I were planning our wedding from out-of-state from a different time zone, but despite that, Willbe stayed in touch throughout the process, so we were never in the dark. She walked through our floral inspiration pictures with and translated that into what would be executable on her end. In the days leading up to and on the day of, her and her team's professionalism, from asking about the venue layout, arriving well in advance, having everything ready to go, working with the outdoor ceremony elements - wind!, was very reassuring.

On the wedding day, the flowers did not disappoint. The bouquets, boutonnieres, floral arch, and various centerpieces were each a piece of art. I'm so glad our photographer captured them, because they were absolutely amazing. When Willbe did the bouquet hand-off to me on the day of, it felt like my Pinterest board come to life (iykyk!). All the floral pieces invoked spring, soft pastel vibes that were airy, delicate, and breathtaking. She nailed the color palette and vibe perfectly. Some of the flowers (sweet peas) came from her own garden as well. The sweetheart table felt like we were sitting in a garden.
We would definitely recommend Fleurisse Design to anyone looking for a wedding florist that excels in both creating beautiful floral pieces. We will cherish the flowers as part of our wedding for years to come!

We had an amazing experience with Willbe/Fleurisse Design. We had an intimate backyard wedding and while we wanted florals to be a focal point for the ceremony, we needed a small number of total arrangements. I was drawn to Fleurisse Design's organic and whimsical florals and was so grateful Willbe was willing to take on a small wedding during a busy wedding season!
The process: Willbe shares a spreadsheet for floral estimates - it was refreshing to see that level of transparency especially in the wedding vendor space! She also takes the time to chat with you to understand your vision and inspiration. We had our wedding on my parents' deck and she suggested creating an asymmetrical arrangement on the balcony railings which I loved! She also provided a sketch to help us visualize it. A month before the wedding, she sent a mood board with the color palettes and floral inspiration. I had some feedback on a couple of flower selections and appreciated that she accommodated my feedback and suggested alternatives.

The day of: I was blown away by the arrangements she created! The bouquet was incredible and the ground and balcony arrangements she created for the ceremony exceeded my wildest expectations! It was a hot day and I appreciated that she waited for over an hour after finishing to keep everything in the shade before moving them to the ceremony location. She also did bud vases and ikebana arrangements for our reception and I loved how the flowers tied the space together.
Highly recommend working with Willbe/Fleurisse Design to live out your floral dreams and I've recommended her to all my friends!

When I think about the flowers you put together for my wedding, it makes me want to cry...tears of happiness! I could not stop staring at them, even when I was taking pictures with my now-husband. I think I was staring at them more than I was looking at him! And those boutonnieres? Gorgeous!! They turned out better than I could have ever imagined. So unique! I am so glad I found you as a florist. You understood me completely and executed so perfectly. You were also so kind and willing to work with me through the price increases and unexpected shortages.
As I look back at some of my wedding pictures from guests, I noticed I held my flowers too high and it blocked my very detailed dress. But guess what! I don't even mind!! Because the flowers were that gorgeous! I get goosebumps thinking about my flowers. It's something I wish I could've kept forever. I'm so happy you were a part of the biggest days of my life. Just an FYI, I've already asked my now-husband to get me flowers from you every year for our anniversary. You are simply the best and I want to support you as long as it makes you happy. Thank you for everything, Willbe!

Willbe is a master with flowers! From the beginning of our initial consultation, she quickly understood my vision. Working with Willbe was rather effortless because I could trust in her ability create beautiful bouquets, centerpieces amongst other pieces for our wedding. Willbe is as wonderful a designer as she is professional; she's diligent about follow-up and thorough with her communication. My wedding flowers were absolutely stunning; from color palette to floral selection, Willbe's creations exceeded any expectations I had. I would highly recommend Willbe to anyone looking for a passionate florist who will promise to deliver on grace and beauty!

Willbe is AMAZING. My husband and I are still pinching ourselves on how lucky we were to have her do my wedding bouquet and his boutonniere for our small city hall wedding. Not only is Willbe passionate, knowledgeable, and SUPER creative, she is also so kind, patient, and thoughtful. Before I spoke with Willbe, I was extremely intimidated by flowers and had been putting it off because I didn't feel like I knew colors, how to be stylish, or what would look good with our outfits.
Willbe made the whole floral process so fun and not daunting. I came in without any inspiration photos or really any ideas about what I wanted (other than knowing a couple things I didn't want, which I am sure was not very helpful given the infinity colors and possibilities)! Willbe worked through ideas with me and made a moodboard of the final color palette, and I couldn't stop looking at the moodboard the days leading up to my wedding!
When Willbe delivered my flowers, I was stunned and emotional seeing it. (She even matched my bouquet's ribbon to my husband's tie!) I couldn't feel more beautiful holding my bouquet. Thank you so much, Willbe!!

Willbe is such a gem! She is extremely well-versed in all things floral and a super sweet person, too. I was planning an SF city hall elopement when I found Fleurisse Design. Willbe knew exactly how to help me even though I knew next to nothing about flowers. We started with a short Zoom call and then I sent her a few inspiration pics, but Willbe truly has the magic touch. I got a ton of compliments on my bouquet and they look even better in pictures. I love the bouquet so much I’m even having it preserved. Thanks so much Willbe!!

Willbe is extremely talented and has a great eye for floral arrangement, design, and composition. Her work is sculptural and organic, and feels straight out of a secret garden. She is detailed oriented, organized, and great to work with. I love following along with her process on instagram, where you can tell how much she loves the art of floristry and how much hard work and care she puts into her craft. She did a phenomenal job with the floral design at our wedding and the florals were a focal point in the decor. We got soooo many complements on our wedding flowers, especially the “cake nest” which was a literal work of ART and the most beautiful floral arrangement I’ve ever seen. You will be in excellent hands working with Willbe and you will have the wedding flowers of your dreams! I could not recommend her more!

I absolutely loved Willbe's floral designs for our wedding and she is so amazing to work with. She made the whole process super simple which is rare when you're deep into wedding planning and there's so many other things that will catch you off guard.
From the beginning, Willbe was clear, communicative and systematic. I appreciate the effective way she operates which never leaves the client wondering or hanging.
Willbe took the time to understand the color palette and design aesthetic I was looking for, and with very limited guidance she was able to put together a mood board that fully captured what I was seeking. On the wedding day, I was captivated by her lovely arrangements. I had so much fun looking closely at all the different pieces ranging from bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, bud vases to centerpieces and statement pieces. She chose a wonderful mix of interesting flowers to bring different elements into her design. I adore her floral aesthetic and I would choose Willbe again in a heartbeat for future floral needs.

Willbe and her team went above and beyond for our wedding in Dec'22. I gave her a vague idea of colors and the feeling I wanted, knowing we may have a limited selection due to the season; I trusted her entirely to make something beautiful. She did not disappoint - the flowers that she found in December were breathtaking. It was the best surprise to see my bouquet that day!
It poured rain all day and the ceremony site had to be changed last minute, which caused an additional set up/break down for our vendors. I couldn't have been happier with the arrangements and they will always be one of my favorite parts of my wedding. I was so happy to meet her in person that day and saw the dedication and hard work she puts into her designs. Highly highly recommend!!

If you’re looking for someone who is passionate and knowledge about flowers then Willbe is the girl for you. I hired her as my florist because she seemed genuinely interested in making my vision come to life. I’ve made several changes along the way and Willbe embraced each one of them gracefully. I had no idea what I really wanted or liked from all the pictures of florals that I showed her (to me they were just pretty). But Willbe was able to pick up the vibe and styles I was liking and bring it all together. I was very impressed when I saw them on my wedding day and amazed at how well it tied into all the other decorative pieces and the venue!

Thank you for creating a floral masterpiece for our wedding. It was definitely the highlight of the wedding for us. We appreciate both of you for getting there early to set up, constantly being there to make sure the bouquet was right, and decorating our macaron tower! Willbe, we were so impressed with your floral taste, thoughtfulness, and responsiveness through the whole process. We are sure that your floral business will have great success!
Avery & Morgan
Willbe is amazing! She went above and beyond in meeting my expectations. Our wedding floral was a dream and she worked with me to make it as amazing as possible with the budget we were working with. Her communication is great, timely and clear and her passion for what she does is reflected in the beauty of her work. I highly recommend working with Willbe to make your dream wedding as beautiful as you imagine it to be.
Alissa & Gary
Willbe is our talented savior. We were exactly a week from our wedding when we finally came to the conclusion that our florist ghosted us after not responding to our texts, phone calls, and emails for a month.
But anyway, we were introduced to Willbe through a good friend within the hour of us figuring out the problem with the original florist. Talk about fate. She was quick to connect with us and was incredibly surgical with getting to the root of what my (now) wife was looking for. Find one who you get along with; find who will help you figure out the details that you otherwise can't even imagine, unless you yourself are a florist. There are tons of them out there, but there's only going to be one who will show up and show out for your wedding. Everything turned out perfectly. Our only regret was not finding her sooner, but such is life.

This review is long overdue but remembering Willbe's service and eye for design after a couple of years should be a testament of her ability to deliver as an honest, hardworking florist.
I was recommended to Willbe through my wedding planner for a bridal bouquet during a Fall 2021 Covid civil wedding in San Francisco City Hall. It was a small and intimate affair but I prescribe to the personal belief that florals will always elevate an event (I also love gardening and growing flowers but I didn't have any access to beautiful blooms at the time).
Even during the curation and creation process, you'll be able to take a peek of her composing your bouquet through her instagram stories. I've always been in awe with how passionate and excited she is with every project, even listing the flower names and making references to a color palette. To this day I still follow Willbe's work: studying her floral designs and what she enjoys growing in her garden.

A couple days before the event, she emailed me asking which type of Dahlia I preferred as the centerpiece of the bouquet and even sent photos of what she aimed to pick up from the flower market. When I picked up the bouquet the night before, she gave me many tips on how to preserve the bouquet (especially since Dahlias can be so dramatic) and how to hold it in photos.
It was very hard for me to stop looking at my beautiful bouquet during the Civil ceremony! Some of the sweet peas (if my memory serves), came straight from her garden. I loved it so much I preserved most of the flowers in resin - it's still holding up after almost 3 years.
I cannot recommend Willbe enough should you want someone with a thorough communication style, attentive to your vision and very strong delivery on the final product! Every client she takes on, it is guaranteed to be a one of a kind arrangement. I'm proud of how much she's grown over the years and will definitely reach out to her again should I need statement floral arrangements!

It was so amazing!! Thank you SO much Willbe! Your florals were so gorgeous and exactly what we had envisioned.

My flowers were beyond amazing! I wish they lived forever! Willbe did such an amazing job putting together my floral pieces. Her whimsical vision was perfect and the colors and flower selections she chose were amazing. I could not have picked a better florist. Willbe made the entire process super easy and personalized, and was able to work around what I wanted! Would definitely go to her again for my floral needs.
