Thank you for sending such a beautiful bouquet to my daughter,
Excellent service. All my questions were timely answered. Beautiful flowers.
Everyone at Deliberately Adopted Floral & Design is amazing. Brooke, Jordan, and Izzy all treated us greatly during our event rental. The space is wonderful and versatile in the way that it can be adapted for many experiences. If you are looking for a dazzling even rental space, this is a great space.
Also, the flower designs that they did for us for our event were amazing. Overall, everyone that attended was extremely happy with our experience- definitely deserves 5 stars!
I’ve never seen such beautiful flowers!!!! I love you! This meant the world to me!
Response from the recipient!
Good job!!!
Thanks so much…sending flowers sight unseen can be disappointing but not this time!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! So glad the flowers brought your recipient joy and she felt loved!
I spent almost an hour with the owner explaining what I wanted. She showed me pictures of several arrangements-NOT THIS ONE. It was to be a regular arrangement with 2 or 3 sunflowers added. The receipt read "CUSTOM ITEM". Instead, this Sunshine & Stems was delivered. To make matters worse, it was not in a ceramic pot as shown in this picture. It was stuffed into what appeared to be a miniature apple basket so you could barely see that flowers. I was so embarrassed! Pricing on the receipt does match the item. When I called, the owner told me that I got the arrangement that I ordered and apologized for the wrong pot. THIS WAS NOT THE ARRANGEMENT THAT I ORDERED. I don't feel that this Florist can be trusted to deliver what is ordered.

Hi Teddy,
We are so sorry for the frustration and inconvenience this experience caused. After looking into your order, we discovered that your custom arrangement was mistakenly swapped with another customer’s “Sunshine & Stems” order during the third-party delivery process. We were made aware after the delivery and immediately reached out, issued a refund, and sent a gift certificate as well as a sincere apology.
We understand how important it is to receive exactly what you thoughtfully selected, and we regret that this error impacted a moment that was meaningful to you.
It has been a joy to serve you over the years, and we truly value your past support and kind words on previous orders. We hope to have the opportunity to restore your trust and deliver the experience you deserve.
With appreciation and care,
The Deliberately Adopted Floral & Design Team
Fabulous blooms, delivered on time. Actually much larger and more lush than I expected. Great job - we'll be back for more!

Beautiful flowers. Very easy process. I love supporting local and will definitely come back next time I need and/or want flowers.

Florist's Response:
Thank you Jennifer! And thank you for supporting local, we are grateful!
I ordered designer's choice flowers to be delivered to my sister's home for her birthday. Not only did I not receive a photo of the flower design, the flowers were delivered to the wrong door. I found out about this at 9pm on the day of her birthday. Gravely disappointed by this flower shop, especially since it cost me over $100.
Absolute perfection! I'm currently on deployment and wanted to send a gift to my daughter from a local florist. Not only were the prices on point, the blooms from the photos were beautiful! I'm so grateful. My daughter's smile couldn't have been any bigger.
Same day delivery and they knocked it out of the park! Thank you for making it easy to take care of my mom from across the country!

Very efficient and nice service! And beautiful flowers, of course.

Florist's Response:
Thank you so much Massimo!
Extremely disappointed not only because the delivery was delayed, but the product received was nowhere up to par for the price paid, which between 5 hand bouquets and a premium purchase WITH a generous tip was $500.00. The flowers were so lackluster that it was actually embarrassing when providing these to the recipient. We will learn our lesson and take our business elsewhere in the future.

Dear Neil,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your order did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide the highest quality flowers and service, and we regret that we fell short in this instance.
Regarding the delivery, your order was placed online after our last scheduled route for evening deliveries on February 13th. When you called we agreed to move the delivery to Valentine’s Day at our earliest available time. However, we understand that the flowers you received did not meet your expectations, and we are truly sorry for that.
Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we would love the opportunity to make this right. If you are open to it, we would be happy to redeliver fresh arrangements at your convenience.
Please let us know how you’d like to proceed, and again, we appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve.
Best regards,
Deliberately Adopted Floral & Design
I had a beautiful mix, I requested daisies and roses and they fulfilled this and had a wonderful array of colors. The blooms were varied, high quality, and the people working there when I picked them up were divine.

Thank you Kathryn, so glad you were pleased with your order. It was a joy getting to make this arrangement for you! Have a beautiful day

Love this analogy, It’s so true. Glad we made it through the first date! We put our heart into every arrangement and are so grateful for our wonderful customers. So glad our flowers were the perfect match for your needs—thank you for your support! And happy to help anytime again in the future:)
Lovely assortment, fast delivery, my friend loved her flowers for her birthday. I will definitely order again. :) thank you!
The Demure bouquet I ordered turned out gorgeous. I couldn’t be more pleased. It was a gift for my mom and she was overjoyed when she received it. The floral designers are talented and created a beautiful floral piece with an array of fresh flowers. My mom says the flowers still look beautiful even after almost a week. It also means the world to me that I received excellent customer service. This will be my go to florist from now on.
I am from Texas and wanted to send my bestie a little birthday surprise. After browsing multiple sites for product selections and customer reviews, I knew I found the place! I had a little hiccup when I found out my friend was actually going in to work instead of working from home. The shop was so accommodating to make a later delivery with no hesitation! My friend absolutely loved the flower arrangement! I know exactly where to go for future orders! Bonus, the shop was less than 3 miles from her house!
This was the most unacceptable flower arrangement I have ever received. For $150 I received an arrangement consisting of 10 blooms (6 carnations, 2 roses, 2 small sprays of mini roses and some baby's breath: some of the most cost effective flowers on the market). If you're doing the math at home, that is $15/flower. If the ideal of a flower arrangement is to spark emotion, this one ignited anger. The arrangement itself was fine, blooms were fresh and nicely arranged, and would have been acceptable at a quarter of the price.
Beautiful flowers and delivered right on time for my daughters performance.
The flowers were underwhelming and looked nothing like the picture. There were three roses and some carnations. This was an $80 bouquet. I was embarrassed as these were a thank you gift for my friend who hosted me for Thanksgiving dinner.
I'm quite pleased with the service and the flowers received from Deliberately Adopted Floral and Design. I ordered flowers for my sister and asked for delivery that same day which they did. While there was a slight hiccup with part of the order, once I contacted the shop they took immediate steps to right the issue and even sent my sister a lovely note and candle. Their floral design is lovely and so are the people who work there. Highly recommend.
The floral arrangement for our dining table was beautiful… it was expertly crafted and complemented the family moment we shared!!!
Thank you!!!
The arrangement made for me was beautiful! And it was ready right on time. I am so happy that I found Deliberately Adopted Floral and Design!
So sad and upset with my experience. I booked my flower order about 6 months in advance. It felt like Brooke really cared and understood what I was asking for. I am not a picky person, so I was excited to see what she was going to come up with. I asked for 5 boutiners with yellow, white and green flowers, no roses. We received all 5 with some pink and some roses. I also asked for my maid of honors bouquet to have yellow orange and a pop of hot pink which came out beautiful, but I was not expecting a replicate for my bridal bouquet, which i asked for all white flowers just no roses. I was told just a few days before my wedding i would received pictures to choose from for my bouquet and never received those. I never received a call confirming my order either. The night before my wedding i had to call and confirm a pick up time which was 11am. I said ok but later since my ceremony started at 12:30. When my brother when to pick up the flowers they were not ready until 12. We almost didn't have flowers. So disappointed and will not recommend or use their venue again.
I will never go to another florist. All of my friends whom I sent flowers to not only say you got your money worth, but they are the most beautiful flowers and arrangements I have ever seen or received.
Simply the best!!!

Walked into the shop and was able to place an order on the spot. The owner walked us through the process and even provided a mood board for the flower colors/vibe. Since we were having a fall courthouse ceremony I wanted the flowers to be eye-catching. And it was eye-catching that the bouquet came out beautiful!! Day of picking up the flowers I was given the option of a green or white ribbon, a congratulatory card, and a second option for my partner's boutonniere. Will be coming back for other floral needs & recommending to family/friends!
Maybe the most gorgeous floral arrangement (French Garden Favorite) we’ve ever received. Delivered on time. Deliberately is our first-choice florist going forward.
I heard back from my brother and sister-in-law that the flowers that were delivered for a recent funeral were absolutely gorgeous. I want to thank you for being able to provide this when I couldn't be there in person; your services meant alot to me. Thank you for bringing beauty to us!
I was impressed with the quality and design of our arrangements and corsages & boutonnieres for our event on October 17th. This new floral and design shop should be your first choice when you have any occasion or just want to treat yourself to a beautifully designed arrangement for your home.
Beautiful flowers and super fast same day delivery! Thank you
Professional, quick service. Assisted with selecting a delightful arrangement exceeding expectations. Thank you very much for making me look good with the recipients! I'll be back...
The recipient sent me a photo of the orchid plant I ordered for them and I am very pleased with the purchase. Thank you for a smile on their faces.

Wonderful! So happy to bring a smile to their face:) thank you for your order!
The flower arrangement was spectacular! The 24” vase, see through with palm fronds laced throughout, further enhanced the total “wow” factor. My wife loved it, which was the total idea. We are enjoying it on display in our home. For us, at a booth for two, a 12” vase would have worked better for looking at the flowers rather than up at the flowers. At home, as a center piece, it is perfect. We continue to experience what is one of the most beautiful arrangements we have ever seen. A perfectly beautiful enhancement to celebrate thirty one years of marriage. I must admit, it was very helpful that a young busboy was available to carry to our vehicle and that we had driven our SUV as the arrangement, spectacularly arranged, barely fit. Thank you for the “wow”. Best John Parker

Thank you for your kind words John, we are delighted you and your wife enjoyed the floral arrangement. Happy Anniversary again! Thank you for your support and continued business
I don't know how you did. I was supposed to get a picture of the arrangement before you delivered. And also didn't get a delivery confirmation.
The flower design Shoppe usually does beautiful arrangements. So I am hoping it was a success
The flowers were not delivered and the emails I wrote to ask for explanations bounced back as if the email address were not existent.

Hi Massimo,
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Your flower order was attempted for delivery yesterday but no one was at the home, so we re-delivered early this morning to keep your flowers as fresh as possible for your recipient and not leave them overnight. Our email system is experiencing technical difficulties and team working as hard as possible to get it back up and running, but we tried you on your mobile phone and could not get through. Feel free to reach out to our direct shop line and happy to discuss further so you are satisfied with your shopping experience. Our shop phone is (619)439-6874. Hope your recipient loves her pink arrangement our designers put thought into creating her a special birthday floral arrangement:)
The flowers were beautiful, but I felt like it wasn’t as full as the picture. Not as much greenery as I had thought. But it was beautiful and my wife loved them
Simply breath taking! I am delighted to have found such a beautiful flower shop close to home in La Mesa. Keep up the good work!!!
I wanted an original floral arrangement and placed my order giving them Carte Blanche to design a gift for my daughter-in-law. I provided a cost cap - period. This florist designed a beautiful combination of flowers, colors and dimensions. The effect was bright, with large sunflowers and subtle, with soft blush pink roses. Overall, it was a good presentation.
I had a wonderful experience with my floral designs and my delivery. This florrist needs to be at the top of your list when ordering flowers for special occasions, as well as ordering everyday "thank you" gifts for friends and colleagues.

Special color request for the flowers was pleasantly filled. I was very pleased with the birthday arrangement that was delivered to our daughter! The arrangement was beautiful & delivered right on time! Thank you for making her day special! MD
Excellent creative service ‘
The arrangement was perfect and delivered on time to the right location. Love this company.
Very nice arrangement. But I paid for the premium, and it looked like the standard.
Thank you so very much! The arrangement online, and what you delivered, was exactly as advertised and even better. It was visually stunning and the fragrance of the arrangement was extremely gorgeous. I will order from you again. Having been disappointed by other vendors, I highly advise that anyone else, looking to send a floral arrangement from other sellers, order from you. Sincerely, Thank You!
Thank you for making my sister in laws birthday. She was so pleased with her bouquet. She absolutely loved them and said her flower's smell amazing.
they loved it and they were asking where did i get the flowers!!
must be beautiful like picture
Wife/mother to be loved it! Will be my go to florist going forward. Thank you for the great experience from purchase to delivery.
A minor issue for the delivery date but the company was friendly and made it right. I’ve used them multiple times in the past and will continue to in the future as they provide quality products and service. Love their arrangements!
I ordered this for a friend to use with his proposal and they did such a great job! The bouquet was absolutely beautiful, and everything in the charcuterie box was cut into little hearts! It was so cute! Definitely recommend ☺️
The recipient said “Gorgeous” floral arrangement!
My experience with La Mesa Floral Design Shoppe was stellar. My friend received her flowers and was so happy with them!
You never know when ordering online how a company will deliver, but the French Garden Favorite surpassed my wildest hopes! I ordered for a friend in the hospital and we thought we’d cheer her up and WOW was she happy. She sent many texts on how the nursing staff and doctors said it was one of the most beautiful flower arrangements they’d ever seen! Thank you SO much for a stunning bouquet!!!
My friend said they're the most gorgeous flowers that she's ever received. Not only are they beautiful but they smell amazing. Thank you for putting a smile on her face.
Beautiful work, delivered on time, and enormously appreciated!
These were delivered to a friend but she said they smelled amazing and from the picture she sent, they looked beautiful! And the price seemed very reasonable for the size and quality of the arrangement. Only wish I lived locally so I could get some of these arrangements for myself too!
The arrangement was a bit small for the amount I paid. Four roses for $70 is a lot for my standards.
The delivery was made on time. Thank you.
Flowers were beautiful. Delivered on time. My daughter loved them.
Excellent service! On time and bouquet was beautiful!
These flowers came exactly as presented on the website and it was beautiful!
More than amazing! The flowers were 10 times better than the picture online! Great delivery speed… made my aunt’s day!
So wonderful to have a reliable service when I’m half way across the country and want to send flowers!
THANK YOU!!!
The birthday flower arrangement for my daughter was absolutely gorgeous! She could not stop gushing over how elegant her arrangement was! The sweetest people to deal with over the phone and they kept me posted about the time of delivery. I will definitely utilize them again. You have my business for many years to come!
I purchased this floral arrangement to celebrate my friend’s wedding. The happy couple loved it. Thank you!
Same delivery providing exactly what I ordered. A reliable business that follows through.
My neighbor loved them❤️ thank you for great service & beautiful flowers. Y’all are my go-to
It was beautiful and was delivered on the day I requested. Thank you!!

Hi Cynthia,
Thank you for the nice review!
We greatly appreciate it and please remember us in the future!
We update our designs monthly!
Rescinding my first review! Very bad communication on my part with the recipient of the flowers. Flowers were hand delivered to a guest at the residence and recipient was not told they had arrived until hours later. Flower shop did their part and hopefully my last review can be removed! Thank you La Mesa Floral design, and my sincerest apologies for the previous review.
It was fabulous. The recipient loved it.
Thank you
JK
Every time I need to have flowers delivered the recipient is always blown away with the beautiful arrangement you create. I use no one else but you all. Always so easy to order and I know I’m paying for something gorgeous.
I ordered this for a friend because she loves purple! The flowers received were nothing like this picture…and not much purple in the arrangement. Disappointed ☹️
My wife absolutely loved this arrangement. The picture is nice but even more stunning in person!
I also want to express a great deal of gratitude because I originally had these delivered to my wife's job but she had already for the day so the delivery driver brought it to our home.
Really liked the arrangement and adaptation I asked for from La Mesa Floral Design. I appreciated artistic, dimensional approach; not generic. I'd asked for a text with a picture of the arrangement they made and delivered - which they did and I very much appreciated. Wonderful straightforward service and lovely creation. Thank you.
Very impressive arrangement! My wife loves it! The photo looks great but even better in person
Thank you so much
I use to live in San Diego and I always loved your flowers
My friend was thrilled
What I ordered from the website vs. what was delivered was an absolute travesty. It is not even close. I understand substitutions are sometimes necessary, but this was horrendous. It looks like it was made by a child. For over $100, I am stunned the shop thought it was worth delivering. If I could give negative stars, I would. I’m sorry I can’t post a photo. Shame on you.
Wonderful experience and gorgeous flowers!
It was easy to order online. Getting a personal call to solidify the order and pick up was great. I also appreciated the personal touches with the arrangement, to include a special flower used called protea. It was meant for longevity. The note card was also handwritten in calligraphy and beautiful balloons were picked for the final touch! Thank you!
Great customer service! wonderful bouquet❤️ Thank you very much!
the flowers are beautiful, but otherwise a terrible experience and I would never ever do business with this florist again.
La Mesa Florist please call me. This experience was terrible!!!!!!!
Ordering on line was easy. Flowers were delivered on time and looked beautiful.
I haven't seen the flowers, but my friend who fell & broke a hip while on vacation in CA says they are gorgeous! She received them at an Acute Care Center where she is recovering for a couple of weeks the day after I was notified of her fall. I thank you all so much for making her aware of how much I care about her.

Florist's Response:
We are happy we could help let your friend know how much you care about her and that she enjoyed the flowers!
We hope she recovers quickly!
Arrangement was delivered on time and very much as pictured on the web site. More than that, the quality of the flowers and design from La Mesa Flower Design Shoppe is always top-notch and never fails to put a smile on my wife's face. Best shoppe in La Mesa.
Absolutely stunning! Exceeded all expectations.
Flowers were not delivered on Saturday. I’ve been trying to contact your business and there is no answer. I’m very disappointed.
Absolutely gorgeous flowers and amazing delivery service provided by Booker! I ordered these for a friend who recently lost her mom. She called me to tell me how lovely they were and how kind and paitient Booker was with her special needs son. Thank you all for helping to to make a hard week a little brighter for this family.
Sending a special shout out to the delivery man, Booker, who was so patient with us trying to figure out how to get into the building just to deliver this special beautiful flower for someone.
Beautiful! My wife LOVED them
They lost my order. The surprise was lost. They sent me an email saying the flowers had been delivered when they had not. I found out from my friend they had not been delivered. If I hadn't asked I wouldn't have known. The owner over talked me when I complained. This was a terrible experience.
