Strelitzia Flower Company

I used Strelitzia Flower Company for the flowers for my son’s wedding 3 years ago and had an excellent experience. I am again doing wedding flowers, this time for my niece. At her suggestion I ordered through an online service. The wedding is in a week. Yesterday I received a confirmation they were shipped. Just a little early. Last night I received an updated delivery date, the morning of the wedding. I called the online company and got nowhere. So I emailed Strelitzia Flower Company trying anything in my panic. This is Sunday at 7:30 am before Memorial day. I was surprised when at 8:30 am Dean answered with «Yes we can.» What a breath of fresh air! By 10:30 he had put in an order for the 300 roses I needed! I can’t tell you how relieved I am. I will always be grateful. I will never go anywhere else!

Strelizia provided the flowers for my wedding in August 2015 at Taber Ranch in Capay, CA and everything was absolutely gorgeous! From the table centerpieces to the bouquets to the architectural details, the colors and types of flowers were perfect. Thanks for adding such a special element to the big day!

I have used Strelitzia Flower Company a couple of times and had a great experience both times. I live in Georgia but have a good friend in Davis. On two occasions I needed floral arrangements and used this florist. I sent one of those baskets of baby roses to my friend after the birth of her daughter. She LOVED the roses and later transplanted them into a flower box.
They do not sell ONLY flowers! For my friend’s birthday a couple of months ago, the dreaded 4 – 0, I sent her some really «naughty» chocolate covered strawberries from this florist. She said they were absolutely decadent and made turning 40 a much nicer experience. I also sent a birthday bouquet. She said it was very fresh and lasted a long time.
Ordering was easy and delivery was quick. I recommend.

As a long time resident of Davis Strelitzia has been a part of many special occasions for me from school dances, high school and college graduation leis. So when we decided to get married in Forest Hill, CA. I looked at the preferred vendors from the venues list but knew that I could get a better price buying by the stock from Strelitzia. I couldn’t beat the convenience either right by my parents house and right off of highway 80.
I started a Pinterest board to gather ideas of pictures i liked (and my Mother). I called to set up a appointment with Tish who was our contact from start to finish she was very easy to work with since i live in the bay area we communicated mostly by email. She has the skills for a in meeting person she was able to meld my ideas, our budget, colors and theme and my moms ideas. She took like ten pictures that I had for bouquet ideas and made something special for me. I even forgot to order several boutonnieres and was able to add them last minute. my mother picked the flowers for the tables up the day before and they were very helpful with at process. The bouquets were picked up the morning of our wedding and looked amazing.
I had succulents that were in my bouquet that I planted after the wedding and they have been thriving. I look forward to watching them grow.

Wanted a SUPER nice bouquet that would make a statement, and that’s EXACTLY what I got!!! My daughter was thrilled, and that’s an understatement. Her co-​workers were VERY envious and all agreed that this arrangement was the NICEST one any of them had ever seen!!! That pretty much says it all. Apparently, it smelled amazing too! I’m a very satisfied customer! Than you to whoever made my arrangement, and thank you to Ellen for helping me place my phone order today.

I recently had my wedding this past weekend and have been working with Tish since January on the details. Her ability to stay calm and organized made my experience with her one I will forever be thankful for. She brought my vision to life in a way that exceeded my expectations. The floral arrangements were beautiful and my bridesmaid bouquets were perfect. My bouquet is what took the cake, it was breathtakingly beautiful and one of my favorite touches to my wedding. We encountered an out of no where wind, lightening and rain storm randomly during the wedding and Tish bent over backwards to make crucial decisions to modify my centerpieces. She worked tirelessly and came up with beautiful solutions. Her hard work did not go unnoticed and I am beyond thankful with the services that strelitzia flower company provided us with. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat!!!

Went in for a consultation for my wedding next Spring with my fiancée. Tish seemed a bit on the shy side and being that she’s the expert and not me, I was hoping for a few suggestions for bouquets and centerpieces. I specifically requested hydrangeas somewhere in the wedding right when I sat down and the conversation was lead as far away from that as possible. I didn’t have a specific vision and was very open to suggestions. I wanted to keep my budget as low as possible so I low balled a number. Although it may have been low, I wanted to see what Tish could come up with. After our meeting, Tish said she would get back to us in a few days and didn’t! I had my fiancée call to check in with the status to see what the quote would be, but nothing! Got an excuse that Tish was checking into another request I emailed a few days prior. She said she would definitely get back to us the latest 2 days after. Nothing! It’s been over a month now and I’ve already found an awesome florist who’s honest and has great communication. Wish things were different. Suggestion: keep an open communication cause you never know what will happen. Our new florist is very happy to get our business!

So disappointed to hear that this shop raises its prices for corsages and boutonnieres during prom season… by almost $ 9.00. The tiny, three baby roses with ribbon corsage that cost me $ 19.00 two weeks ago (still overpriced for what it looked like) was quoted for $ 27.85 today. I think it’s very poor practice to take advantage of high school and college kids in this manner. Will not be patronizing this shop again.

Great Fail! Flowers not delivered on St. Valentine’s!!!
I ordered flowers online to be delivered on St. Valentine’s 4 days in advance (in Davis).
My girlfriends was away at the time the delivery went to her place so they left a notice. She called to the phone number on the notice and they informed her that they would deliver them in at most 2h. She waited for the whole afternoon/​evening and nobody appears to deliver them.
Ah… And I received an email stating that the flowers had been delivered!!! (not true)
BTW, the delivery fee was $ 12.95 (+ taxes) and the flower shop is roughly 2 minutes by car from my girlfriend’s place!

It continues, the delivery service answers saying that they tried a second delivery and nobody was home. Which is a lie. I’m struggling for them to coordinate with my girlfriend to finally deliver the flowers. What a mess! (And not even an apology)
02/​15/​2015 Edited II.
Finally delivered, a day late. Zero apologies.

I couldn’t be anymore happier to stumble upon this place on my drive to Davis. This place was a very last minute thing for me and everything went smoothly. I totally agree about the fact that it’s a waste of money, but when it comes to giving it to someone special, I wouldn’t mind. My whole experience right when I walked in-​I was greeted with questions and lots of small encouragements. This was great because I was so nervous! They helped me pick out the right flowers by asking me what I prefer and etc. I am definitely coming back here soon!

Strelitzia did the flowers for my September 2014 wedding and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! My husband and I had to work within a fairly tight budget for the size of our wedding and Tish did a wonderful job helping us find solutions that would work within our budget. My bouquet and all the table arrangements looked amazing!
We even needed one more boutonnière the day of wedding and didn’t realize it until a few hours before the ceremony. Tish was happy to put one together for us last minute.
All the flowers looked absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend using this company!

Didn’t feel like I got what I paid for! Order birthday arrangement as picture on their web site, paid $ 75 with delivery charges, see for yourself with my photo.

Letitia is one of the floral designers here and is the best! She consulted with me on my wedding flowers and helped me navigate all the choices and costs to make my dream flowers a reality. Unlike other vendors, she understood my vision and was able to suggest other varieties that would be in season in the colors I wanted. Please ask for her services — I highly recommend her.

Not so happy valentines day! If I did not have dinner reservations I would probably take them back after work.
I do not mean to sound ungrateful but I’d like to save someone else the future disappointment. I’m not a frequent review writer unless a business really swings to the good or bad.
All I can say is whatever my husband ordered I seriously doubt that is what arrived unless they really are that overpriced.
I won’t lie, I accidentally saw the charge on the bank statement and I must say this is the most overpriced flower purchase I have seen since my wedding.
I would not recommend giving them ANY freedom in choosing your flowers because in this case they delivered a bouquet with more mismatched greens than a bad salad. The price may have been justifiable IF the flowers were really something special, they were not at all.
For over a hundred dollars I would think there would be more flowers, less green crap, and they could have at the least thrown a bow on the cheap vase to hide the dirty water.
If I had to guess, I would say that my husband probably asked for a flower that was out of season. That usually means not good quality if they can get it. If that was the case, they should have said no rather than fill the case with green fillers.
If you need flowers I suggest a larger company so you know what your getting. On the upside, the gentleman who delivered them seemed nice enough.

This place should really only have 1 star, and I’d love to explain why.
First experience, ordered a corsage from there for a senior ball for my child… I ordered the best quality (since my child would only be able to experience this ONCE). and when I go in to pick it up they said the flower I had originally ordered was out of stock because of the senior ball and only had what was seen in the store now… OK. I ordered a specific corsage TWO weeks before and they couldn’t put some flowers off to the side for my order that I already paid for???
Fast forwarding to now (a few years later)… I was hoping they’d become a better business but boy was I wrong!
I ordered online from their website a bouquet of flowers with white roses daises babies breath lavender color and such and paid 65 $$ (it was for a funeral of a LONG TIME FRIEND) anddddd the product that was delivered was a bunch of daisies… and a lot of greens… I PAID SIXTY DOLLARS FOR A BUNCH OF DAISES…
Seriously, you are better off going to safeway and making your own bouquet for the price they charge for their «top quality flowers» aka DAISIES…
I’m BEYOND disappointed, I will NEVER be returning, and I warn EVERYONE against this business.
–False advertisement
–Expensive flowers
–Rude service
⁰⁄₀ stars.
I hope they go out of business

We went to this place to get a bouquet for my sister for her graduation. I asked for a $ 40 bouquet and balloon for a 21 year old girl, who was for celebrating her graduation and to use purple since that’s her favorite color… We chose this place since they told us they were in downtown Davis…
So this is where the first problem arises, we were relatively on time, not late when we found out they are NOT in downtown at all! This detour set us back! We even called to make sure it was downtown… But only when we were there they corrected us on the fact that they USE to be downtown…
And the bouquet… Is a complete joke. The bouquet was pathetically small and dark and depressing. It looks like a $ 10-​$ 15 bouquet for a funeral! Going to Safeway and dropping $ 15 would have been a better choice.
Honestly this florist let us down on a very important day. My mother didn’t want standard roses that are usually sold at graduations… But we ended buying those also to compensate for this pathetic thing we got from strelitza…
Oh, and to add, the balloon wasn’t ready and we were late by the time we got there so we didn’t even get a balloon. Fail, fail, fail. The pick up was set for 9am, and we got there at 9:30am. They should’ve been ready…

Terrible. You’re better off at a Safeway. Overpriced for poor quality. Failed a same day request for a celebration of life. Do not buy unless you can inspect product yourself.

Went here for a flower arrangement and I wasn’t too happy with the $ 100+ I paid for a bunch of greens. All flowers looked fresh except for the snapdragons, the petals were already turning brown and looked sad :(
I really wanted to give them a higher rating… the workers were super helpful, friendly and were very accommodating (I ordered this arrangement 4 days before I needed it).
The flowers in the front area that you can pick by the stem looked very fresh and pretty but I don’t know how much they cost. I would probably go back for those but then again I’ll probably just stick to Sacramento florists.

I’ve posted pictures of the flowers I bought. While I didn’t see the flowers myself, the pictures of them leave a little something to be desired.
I contacted Strelitzia based on the reviews below. Since I don’t live in Davis, I called. The person who helped me was kind and patient. When asking me what I wanted, I specified: organic, fresh, modern and a cube vase was a must. Colors were not as important as the flowers themselves. The person receiving them knows flowers and plants, so I wanted her to feel it was a quality arrangement.
I said my budget was $ 30, but minimum purchase was $ 35 :(That’s fine, but then at the end there was an added total of $ 15 dollars in fees.
I worried that I didn’t give enough info, so I e-​mailed Strelitzia, asking them if I could send pictures. They were gracious and said I could. While the bouquet doesn’t look anything like the pictures, it is pretty, just not well balanced and the roses look like they’ve already bloomed :(
The other thing is when I sent the pictures, the store manager said all the pictures represented arrangements $ 50 and up, so if I wanted that look, I would have to pay more or they could do something like that on a smaller scale.
That pinched me a little because I was charged $ 50 dollars and all that money is going to Strelitzia. The separation of what is charged for the flowers and what is charged in fees is arbitrary. I wasn’t the only delivery that day (a major holiday) and there was probably an upcharge on the vase. So to be charged $ 50 and then be told I only paid $ 35 for the flowers themselves is a little annoying.
The delivery guy was very apt and called when he thought there was an issue with locating where to drop off the flowers. He was patient and stayed on the phone until it was all sorted out and that was much appreciated.
However, I was told no matter what the arrangement would be beautiful. It’s fine, but definitely not was I was expecting. That’s fine too, but the roses and balance of the arrangement along with the fees is what gives this place 3 stars.

Gorgeous flowers were delivered on my footsteps a couple years ago, and they were delivered in a vase with delicate white orchids arranged beautifully.
Of course it made all the girls go «oooo» and «ahhhhh»
But I have to admit, I researched how much these flowers cost on the net, and it’s not that worth it if you ask me. I rather get long stem roses O:)
