Bell & Trunk Flowers

Vanessa made me two leis for my graduation in December and they were BEAUTIFUL!!! She was super nice about it all and made sure they were perfect for my big day. They were so unique compared to everyone else’s and I still have them dried out in my room as decoration!

I worked with Vanessa while coordinating a corporate event at a nice restaurant in SF earlier this year. We were blown away by her stunning, interesting arrangements! Everything looked very high-​end, definitely not something you could put together yourself from a trip to Whole Foods or the corner flower stand.
Beyond that, she was very quick to respond to my emails and reasonably priced. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Vanessa,
I cant thank you enough for such a wonder job you did for the floral at our wedding. You captured exactly what I wanted and over exceeded my expectations. The flowers were beautiful the succulents along with all the bouquets and the arch were designed perfect. Thank you again for being such a big help and making our day perfect.
I love you Vanessa Thank you again for such a wonderful job.

I cannot say enough great things about Vanessa and Larissa! They were communicative, creative, and truly cared about my wedding, how I was feeling, and the aesthetic we desired. Even when my wedding venue threw us a curve ball 2 days before the wedding (the venue told us we couldn’t use the type of flowers we had been planning on), Larissa didn’t even bat an eyelash, put me at ease and created a bouquet, crown, and 3 boutonnières that were AMAZING and better then anything we could have imagined! I think they turned out better then the original design. Everyone at the wedding and our photographers were blown away by the detail work and creativity of these ladies.
Thank you just does not even express how grateful I am for Bell and Trunk. They are simply geniuses.

Vanessa was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I planned my Sausalito wedding from Austin and she made sure I did not need to worry about our flowers. She was extremely responsive to email and accommodating even when I changed my order 4 times.
We received SO many compliments on our flowers. Easily my favorite vendor that I worked with!

This review is almost a year overdue. We hired Bell & Trunk to do the flowers for our lunchtime wedding reception at Absinthe Brasserie on October 9^th. Vanessa is amazing! She worked within our limited budget and created the most beautiful floral table arrangements that really made the space come to life. She was extremely professional, kind, generous, creative and fun. Wedding planning was stressful and I am so grateful I was able to let go of any worries about flowers and trust Vanessa to make it all come together. She absolutely delivered, even beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Bell & Trunk and Vanessa and will not hesitate to use them again in the future.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Vanessa and her team at Bell & Trunk for my August 2015 wedding at the General’s Residence. She was so easy to work with when sharing initial visions via Pinterest and chatting on email. When we met for a consultation in her adorable shop, she talked me through what would be feasible and cost-​effective for my August wedding. She knew the types of flowers that would evoke a similar look and feel with in-​season blooms. She heard me out as my vision slightly tweaked in the months between signing the contract and the big day.
The prices and service she provided was stellar in comparison to a few other florists I spoke to. She even ordered some hobnail mason jar vases to achieve the look I wanted for my centerpieces. A friend liked them so much, she is repurposing for her own wedding.
When my flowers arrived at the venue on my wedding day, I couldn’t have been happier. They were so beautiful — bright, fun and took the elements of the several different inspiration pictures I had shared and combined them in one. I only wish I could have kept them forever — wish it was appropriate to always carry a bouquet!
Even before my wedding, I recommended a friend speak with Bell & Trunk for her wedding and my recommendation is even stronger now. Support your local flower shop — for awesome service, style and good prices.

Vanessa is the sweetest & most amazing florist to work with. She did flowers for my wedding & I loved them! We had a couple of meetings prior to discuss the type of flowers/​color theme & she was very willing to work with what I had in mind along with my budget.
She helped me rent an arch for our boat wedding & made us a heart-​shaped flower arrangement along with greens hanging down the sides. It looked so beautiful in our pictures & was not bothered by the wind at all. I also loved the centerpieces, it was exactly the color I wanted. Definitely recommend Bell & Trunk!

I had the pleasure of working on a wedding with Bell & Trunk this past weekend. The center pieces that they made were absolutely stunning and received many compliments throughout the evening. Not only were the blooms beautiful but the two ladies were so awesome to work with! At one point we had a little bit of a disaster (the wedding was on the top deck of a boat and the wind was crazy that day) things had blown around making extra work and these ladies were so calm and collective about it. As a wedding coordinator I would highly suggest working with this company for any and all events!

I ordered a succulent for a friend who works in SF. I live in Texas. When my friend sent a picture of what she received I was surprised since it wasn’t the succulent that I had ordered online but a lovely flower arrangement instead. I was quite disappointed. The flowers were nice, but not what I had paid for and even written down on the order form.
I did call the shop and was told that a succulent would be delivered to my friend the same day. I hope this will make them read the order before just going through the motion. I appreciate that the shop will rectify the error.

This tiny flower shop just got remodeled with beautiful raw wood, and with the change came some sweet new trinkets. Perfumes, candles, cards, ceramics etc along with flowers make it an ideal shop if your looking for a gift for that special someone.
The ladies there are lovely and helpful. And they do weddings! Be sure to take a look if you’re in the area.

I had the pleasure of working with Vanessa and Bell and Trunk Flowers for my January 2015 wedding. Vanessa is not only extremely talented, but kind, easy going, and an absolute delight!
After confirming she was able to accommodate our 145 person wedding, we exchanged Pinterest boards so she could see the style of our wedding. From that point on, I let Vanessa do her thing… boy did she! I was BLOWN AWAY by the centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnières that had a mixture of flowers, succulents, and berries. I only wish Vanessa could have heard all the compliments from our guests :)
I highly recommend Bell and Trunk Flowers for your wedding!

Vanessa is very talented and so personable. I emailed her pictures of bouquets I found that I liked and she created the most beautiful bouquet I could imagine. It was exactly what I was hoping for, colors and style were perfect! My pick up date was the day of the «pineapple express» storm and most shops including hers shut down for the day. She left the pick up time to me and met me at her shop to give me the bouquet. She even walked me to the car while covering me and the bouquet with her umbrella! If you are looking for a florist, you cannot go wrong with Bell and Trunk!

This was my first time ordering a bouquet for delivery. With some choice details I gave Vanessa about my boyfriend, she put together an arrangement so gorgeous that it made him a «little weepy» with joy when he received it.
From the painless online ordering to the amazing finished product, I highly recommend Vanessa!
Thanks Vanessa for helping me make his birthday this year a little more special.

Ordered flowers from the shop’s website, sight unseen. I was a little nervous how it would turn out, but the photos on their website were so beautiful, it was worth a shot. I have tried both ProFlowers and 800-​Flowers before and was really disappointed every time (not to mention the hassle of trying to get a crappy bouquet replaced).
The total cost of the bouquet (flowers, tax and delivery) was about the same as those 800 # websites, but the quality is clearly superior! The most gorgeous bouquet arrived for my friend this morning and it was just as beautiful as their photos represented. Great job! Thank you so much, Bell & Trunk!

I had a bit of a planning deficiency with my birthday project so Vanessa was great in suggesting what I should get; getting it ready around 5pm so I can pit it up on the way home and overall I was very happy how everything turned out!
This shop is cute — classic Potrero Hill area; somehow preserved it’s original charm from the hipster invasion. I had few minutes to walk down to Farley’s coffee house — same old SF charm. One thing: parking sucks. Potrero Hill is overpopulated by now and it feels like the Richmond when it comes to parking.
The flower arrangement was excellent; box and all — just ready to be presented to that special one. Next year better planning to avoid the frantic search LOL
Thank you Bell & Trunk Flowers;

The ‘art’ in ‘artisan.’
Vanessa and her team were so gracious and spending a few hours with us to walk through her philosophy on being a florist and how she thinks about the business. In the short time we were there, at least 5 different parties came in to complement her team on flowers that they had ordered or to pick up new ones. Vanessa is giving with her time, energy, and talents and I highly recommend people check her out if you’re looking for flowers to brighten someone’s day !

I am only writing to corroborate with what has been stated in the many prior reviews: Vanessa is a truly gifted floral artist who has a vision and passion that sets her apart from the rest.
I had seen Bell and Trunk’s flowers at the local coffee shop, Front and fell in love with her style. So, when it was time to choose a flower stylist for my bohemian, romantic, June wedding in GGP, I knew right where to go. She was amazing to work with — helped with budget, flower delivery to multiple places, choosing flowers for our hair, and even helped organize our centerpieces — even though we were just doing them ourselves!
I loved, loved, loved (!) the bouquets she did for me and my three ladies. So much in fact, that I dragged my bouquet to my honeymoon and back — I couldn’t let it go! It was that darn pretty. I wanted the four bouquets to be similar in color and style, but for each one to be unique. She designed a perfect quartet of bouquets and each of bridesmaid loved their bouquet.
I’ve uploaded several photos that showcase the flowers and can only add to that by saying Vanessa was a joy to work with and I hope to keep going to her for many years to come!!!

Can’t say enough about Bell and a Trunk. Vanessa is gifted. She’s been my go-​to flower diva for years.
Not only am I impressed by her work, I am in awe of her commitment to community. Big thanks to
Bell and Trunk for everything that you do!

Best. Florist. Ever.
Not only is the owner Vanessa one of the most interesting, beautiful and artistic people I’ve met, but her flower arrangements are the most memorable I’ve ever received.
My husband is stationed in another country and he contacts her and tells her that he wants to surprise me, and then she does the rest — from creating an arrangement she knows I’ll like based on my favorite colors and my personality, to writing out a note on a card transcribed from him, to hand delivering them to me at home.
Her creative arrangements are always unexpected and smile-​inducing.
As an added bonus, her flower shop in Potrero Hill is darling — something out of a movie. I knew the minute I walked up to it the first time that a creative genius lived inside.
Two green thumbs way, way UP.
