Very easy process and beautiful bouquet. Delivered flawlessly with no issues. I will be a second time customer in the future.

Azalea is our go-to for anything to do with flowers. Her art is amazing. I've seen flower walls and other very creative concepts she has put together that simply blow your mind when you seem them in person. It's like they're living, breathing, and exploding with color and vibrancy.
She has made flower crowns for our daughters, bouquets for special occasions, and for me is the *only* source I trust for Valentine's Day - just look at the roses my wife received! How beautiful are those with the little pink accents!?!?
Azalea truly is San Diego County's PREMIER floral ARTIST.
Yup, ARTIST.
There are florists, then there are highly talented people who make ART with flowers - that is Azalea.
Plus, she's one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

This is my 3rd purchase to be delivered to others from Flowers by Azalea and all have been very well received. I personally love the tropical flowers because they last longer so they can be enjoyed for more than a few days.
I also purchased the Be Well bouquet for myself! It was a beauty and she somehow managed to do something to the hydrangeas to make them last over a week!!

While the arrangement was lovely, it was not as pictured on the website … there weren’t any artichokes. ??
Heidi B.
Arrangement was gorgeous (as depicted), the recipient sent me a picture and raved about how unique and beautiful it was! Thanks Flowers by Azalea!

This arrangement was for Mother’s Day for my mom and the wrong floral arrangement was delivered. :(
Denise C.
This is my 2nd arrangement with your shop. Both times my friend loved them. They held out for a long time and they made her difficult days more cheerful!

I like that it is a small, independent florist and I wanted to support that type of business but I wasn’t impressed. Flowers are expensive and when you add in a delivery charge, the final amount can be quite high for a medium-sized arrangement. Also, the money you are investing is for a gift that does not endure—it expire—so you are trusting the vendor to provide you with a a product that is a fair value when compared to what you pay. My daughter-in-law sent me a photo of the final delivered arrangement and while she was happy with it, when compared to the photo on the florist’s site, it fell short of the mark. I understand about flower substitutions but this was not nearly as colorful or bright or full as advertised. I was disappointed as the final amount was ~$125 for a medium-sized bouquet. I was hoping for a little more personal care from a locally-owned small business.

Picture of flowers that were delivered-looked VERY different from the pic online.
I paid $130 for tulips that were old (won’t last long) , and the Bouquet looked smaller than the one online.
Very disappointed

TANYA S.
My friend loved, loved the arrangement! The flowers and tropical flora gave her the sense of being in Hawaii, a calm and peaceful feeling. Just the thing for her return from the hospital.
Thank you so much. Will be using your services again in the future.
virginia d.
I was thrilled the flowers looked just like the picture… I can’t tell you how many times I order flowers online for delivery to get a call of a substitution and then the Bouquet always looking less than par.
Thanks and well done!
Jenn E.
From the website, to the first point of contact, to delivering and seeing the sheer delight of my friend…everything was top notch! I am so pleased with the experience and will be back again!
Laura M.
My mother said it was the most beautiful arrangement she’s ever seen so it’s definitely a winner. I also loved that the card was handwritten, I was expecting just a printed tag and this was such a nice touch. I’d absolutely order from here again!
Suzanne E.
Flowers were sent to my daughter following shoulder surgery. She said that they were beautiful. Deep dark vibrant colors and the flowers chosen should last awhile. In my opinion all flowers are beautiful and these did not disappoint. Thank you for a lovely arrangement.
Nick M.
Bouquet was selected online and delivered on time and was exactly as the photo looked that I selected. Our Aunt was thrilled with the quality and beauty.
Joel B.
The flowers were absolutely amazing! I ordered late at night and they were delivered by 10am! Unbelievable flowers and service!
Ross H.
I ordered and paid for peonies and got different flowers that died in less than two days after delivery.

Florist's Response:
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. In accordance with our substitution policy as listed. We decided not to include the peonies as what was available from the growers did not meet our quality standards. Instead we upgraded the roses to premium David Austin garden roses and we included premium imported sweet peas from Japan. The color and feel was consistent with the design ordered. Additionally, when we received the call from the recipient that a couple of the roses were starting to wilt we promptly made arrangements to go and replace these flowers. We requested photos of the arrangement but those were never received. We still went out in good faith, the next day, to replace the roses as promised. We replaced all 4 roses, with the new premium garden roses and included an additional 2. We made every effort to correct the issues. Please let us know what more we can do to make your experience a positive one.

Flowers by Azalea continues to be my go-to for whatever the event. Thank you for providing amazing service and great quality.
Ashley M.
The flowers where nice but was charged a delivery fee when flowers couldn’t not be fully delivered. Not sure what the issue was but would like to at least get half of the delivery charge back since driver only made it half way.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We do apologize about not being able to make the delivery directly to the door. Camp Pendleton is a military base and they were not allowing civilians access to the property as they were operating at a high security threat level. Unfortunately, these type of things are out of our control and we must abide by their rules. The flowers were still delivered on 2/14/2022 as requested. It is our priority to make sure our customers are happy. Please call our office to discuss your request. 760.547.1600

Flowers were delivered on time and were as described. Recipient was very happy with the flowers! Recommended.
Suzanne C.
Used Azalea's website for my purchase since I'm located on the East Coast. The flowers were gorgeous and delivered as promised
Kalen R.
If I could give more stars I would. The arrangement arrived more beautiful then the pic, that NEVER happens!!!
Ivan C.
You came highly recommended. We order a $95.00 arrangement for my mother's birthday. When she send me a picture of it. I was horrified to see that it was not even a close resemblance to what we order. None of the pretty colors were added, and to top of it looked wilted. I'm sorry, I usually try to be more positive about this kind of thing. But because this was for my mother, I feel like you let me down.
Thank you for your time. Have a blessed day.

Florist's Response:
Dear Ivan, I am so sorry to hear that you were not happy with your arrangement. Customer satisfaction is our number one priority and wish we would have been contacted sooner regarding your concern. We are always willing to make things right. It looks as though this review came 8days after the order was delivered. Can you please let us know a little more. Please email any photos you were sent to info@flowersbyazalea.com. Sometimes the recipient sends photos and it doesn't show the entire arrangement. Also, the arrangement you ordered was a very monochrome design and didn't feature much color. We look forward to hearing from you so we can make your experience as more positive one.
Scott A.
Flowers are gorgeous, it was really hard picking one. Azalea has excellent service! Definitely recommend!!
Felise S.
Ordering was very easy, and delivery was on time. The best part was the arrangement was even better than the picture! The flowers were beautiful and the arrangement was lush. I’m very impressed. I also called to find out about delivery, and the woman I spoke to was very polite and professional. Overall, my rating of this experience is a big 10 out of 10! Highly recommend.
Karen G.
Thank you for the gorgeous arrangement you delivered for my mother's birthday. She lost her brother a couple days before and I wanted to send her something special.. to put a smile on her face. I've been ordering solely from this florist for years now. Flowers by Azalea never disappoints!
Joao R.
2nd time where delivered product was significantly inferior to pictured item.

Florist's Response:
We appreciate you reaching out to us directly regarding your recent experience. As per our phone conversation and email, we concluded that the photo remitted to you by the recipient just showed a partial side and not the entire arrangement. We can understand how seeing it in this context and not its full form can be cause for concern. It is our highest priority to provide the best service possible for our customers. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to make your experience a more positive one.
Miranda T.
The arrangement was beautiful. The only issue was with the delivery. It was just left in front of the house without them trying to knock or ring the bell. Luckily I received an email that it was delivered so I was able to check with my mom to go outside and see if it was there.
Ethan V.
I got these for my partner for our first anniversary. They were BEAUTIFUL, much healthier than any bouquet you'd get from a grocery store. They were a huge hit!
Carolie S.
Thank you for the Beautiful presentation. We could not have been happier with the bouquet and the attention to detail. In addition, the delivery was seamless.
Carl L.
Provided a beautiful floral arrangement and were able to deliver on Valentine's Day as promised.
Catherine W.
The flowers were just lovely, and my family was very happy. I can count on Azalea to do a beautiful arrangement, and it looks very much like the example picture - I hate getting pictures of what was delivered (from other florists) and going "WHAT??, that's not what I ordered!" Thanks, Azalea, and happy holidays!
Latisha C.
The flowers are more beautiful than the picture! It is the perfect kitchen island centerpiece for the Christmas holiday.
Holly C.
The flowers I ordered were delivered on time and very close to the photo pictured which was perfect! Highly recommend!
Hadley G.
Always the most beautiful arrangements - I knew I could trust Azalea to brighten my friend's day !
Lynn E.
The flowers I delivered were absolutely beautiful! I was looking for not just for a florist in the Oceanside area, but a great floral designer as I admire the art of floral design. Flowers by Azalea fits the bill! Beautiful design work!
Kim B.
I ordered the “Succulent Garden” arrangement for my sister’s 70th birthday. The arrangement was even more beautiful than pictured online. It was delivered exactly as I requested. I will definitely use Flowers by Azalea in the future. Thank you.
Linda C.
The best!! My friend received her flowers and her words were Stunning. I was able to order a few weeks ahead which was great. They arrived on the date requested in the am which was perfect. Highly, highly recommend as the quality and service are first rate. Thank you!!!
Mary M.
They were very pretty but for the price I thought it would be bigger. Not the flowers themselves but the arrangement. I've gotten a lot more in the past for that $ amount. We ordered them a day before and they arrived at a good time the next day. Ordering online was quick and easy. So my only complaint would be the price.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. I apologize that you were not happy with the size of the bouquet. The design is called "Le Petite" which means the small one. We will provide more detail in the description to avoid any future confusions. Thanks again!
Patsy H.
Thank you kindly for your flower arrangement, did see a picture of it. I will be sure and contact you again in the future. Patsy Hildebrandt
Angela A.
Flowers delivered represented the photo on the website very well; they were beautiful and fresh. Wonderful experience for everyone!
Thank you Flowers by Azalea.
Anita A.
I live in Ohio and ordered a Succulent Garden as a housewarming gift. The online process was simple and clear. My order was delivered in Oceanside the next day as promised. My daughter and son-in-law sent a picture of the arrangement and it looks beautiful!! I’m happy with the Deluxe upgrade. Will definitely keep your contact info for future ordering now that I have family in the area! Thank you for a great experience!
Elle G.
The flowers were absolutely stunning. The Rose's were beautifully open and going on a few days later they still look brand new. My wife loved them! Thanks
Glenna S.
Beautiful as always. Can always find the perfect arrangement to fit my person’s personality.
Glenna S.
Grannie absolutely loved them! She couldn’t get over how beautiful they were. The delivery was right on and presentation was perfect. Pricing was good and easy navigation on their website. I am so glad she sent me a picture. They were just as I saw them on the website. I will definitely use them again!
Birthe L.
My mom said she was moved to tears upon delivery of her flowers. She said she'd never seen such a beautiful arrangement. Thank you!
Krista R.
Arrangement delivered to my mom was not close to what I ordered. There were no ranunculus as pictures. My mom complained that there was a big hole in the arrangement, and that most of the flowers looked as if they were dying. When she called you to complain about the flowers, she was told that she was expected to clean the guard petals off the roses. What my mom received was nothing close to what I would have expected for the money paid. I even upgraded it to make sure it would be a full arrangement. I did receive a refund for half the cost, which I then used to buy more flowers to fill in the arrangement to what I had expected it to be. When doing so, I realized that the stems weren’t even in water. 80% of the stems were parallel with the top of the vase, which is why most of them were wilted already. I’m disheartened with the way this played out, especially when my mom had to send you pictures of the arrangement as proof. Shouldn’t you have checked the flowers before they left your shop and were delivered?

Florist Response:
I apologize for the experience you had. We have several designers handling orders. We do our best to make sure mistakes are few and far between but when they arise we make every effort to correct the issues. We made several offers to deliver a second arrangement and issue a full refund. The recipient didn't seem comfortable with how much we were willing to offer to turn her experience around and make her happy and just asked that we refund half of the order. Ranunculus are not in season this time of year so we had to substitute which is noted in our terms of service.
Dana S.
I had received this arrangement myself and remembered how beautiful it was. I ordered for a friend and the process was seamless, professional and worth every cent! Thank you!
sandy s.
The arrangement did not include any roses as pictured and in general did not include enough flowers with bright colors and therefore made the arrangement less beautiful as pictured.
Michelle M.
Absolutely beautiful arrangement! Exceeds the photo!! Delivered right on time for Mother's Day - thank you!
Eric G.
Very , very nice! Looked better than the net picture. Easy to order , fair price and delivered on time. I will Azalea 's again and often..
Kim H.
Many times the flowers that are received look nothing like the website. I'm so happy and relieved to say that the flowers my mother-in-law received were as beautiful if not more beautiful than what I ordered. The flowers looked fresh and the arrangement was lovely and full. Ordering on the website was simple and clear. I would definitely order again.
Jill V.
I wanted to use a local flower shop . I found your website easy to use . So I ordered online , A Beautiful Bouquet, I sent to my Aunt ( from Tucson , AZ) for her birthday. Flowers were absolutely stunning and my Aunt was thrilled with her 80th birthday surprise. Thank you for helping make my Aunts birthday special . I truly appreciate it ... all the way from Tucson . Thank you !!
Dara C.
This beautiful bouquet was delivered with no hassle and much appreciated! Fantastic service.
Nick M.
Living in Florida, we needed a flower delivery in Oceanside, CA. Azalea's website is thorough and has unique options for purchase. We made all of our arrangements through their site and were updated on the actual delivery through email. Our Aunt was thrilled with her gift and said it was the most beautiful bouquet she has ever seen. Thank you, Azalea
Robert G.
My wife was THRILLED with the arrangement. The flowers were perfectly arranged and just beautiful. Service was top-notch too. Delivery guy was courteous and professional. All combine for a five-star experience!
Jillian H.
Flowers by Azalea were wonderful to me. I ordered flowers for my MIL after she had surgery and there was a glitch in the Bloom Nation system causing the arrangement to be delivered a day late. The owner actually refunded my money, but still sent the flowers!! CLASS ACT. I was so shocked I could literally not believe it. I would certainly suggest ordering from them.
Mari L.
I wish I could post a picture of how the flowers looked that were received. I upgraded the flowers to the deluxe thinking that they would be even more grand than the pictures online. I spent over $100 for the flowers, upgrading and delivery. The arrangement that was sent did not look very similar to the one online. It was tiny! I can't imagine what the regular arrangement would have looked like. In addition, the arrangement didn't seem like someone experienced put it together, it looked very amateur. While the person that they were sent to liked them, they have no idea how much I spent. I wish I had just ordered something from teleflora or ftd. I've ordered from them many times before and never had any issues with the online size and detail matching what is received. So disappointed.

I have always loved AZALEA’S. Locally owned, professional knowledge, creativity and service. The Birthday bouquet looked exactly like the photo - beautiful. Timely delivery as promised. Always a great experience. Cheryl the TSF OSIDE

It was a fun and relaxing evening. I can now turn my grocery store flower bouquets into a professional looking creation. Thanks, Flowers by Azalea!
Vivian H.
Flowers By Azalea created THE most gorgeous bouquet for my friend Sue's 70th birthday. I ordered from across the country, and I couldn't recommend this flower shop more. They take great care in making each order special. FBA took my custom request to highlight lilies in the bouquet and delivered with these fantastically pink and perfect lilies -- It was out of this world, and my friend loved the bouquet. Thank you so much, Flowers By Azalea!
Crystal L.
The flowers were absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Will definitely use you guys in the future. Thank you for creating such a gorgeous arrangement.
