Jina is a wonderful florist. From our initial consultation to the wedding day, you can tell she is a true professional! I was the kind of bride who didn't really have a very specific vision about our wedding day... I was a bit overwhelmed by the whole wedding planning process, and I just wanted the florals to be beautiful and "wedding-y." Haha, that's the kind of bride I was. However, Jina was great about helping flesh out my ideas and translating them into something concrete. She does a sample meeting a few weeks out from your big day to show you a sample centerpiece and bounce around more details about your wedding decor. I was floored when I saw the centerpiece! It looks beautiful and lush, and Jina did such a wonderful job on the day of as well. She also communicated so well with my coordinators, and everything was a well-oiled machine. Everything was done on time, professionally, with the help of Jina and her team. She is a real professional, and she knows what she's doing! Trust Jina and her team!

Jina at De Flora is amazing! From the mock up to the actual event (our wedding) she really brought our vision for the florals to life and gave such great input during design. We got so many compliments on how beautiful my bouquet and the arrangements were. She is also reasonably priced!

I had a phone call and in person mock up of my table floral arrangement with Jina prior to my wedding. My flowers were beautiful! Im pretty picky and I had a whole mood board with the flowers I wanted and the flowers to be omitted and even wanted a gardenia in my bridal bouquet and she did everything I asked for. My clear Acrylic arch with flowers she even brought sand bags and covered them with flowers too. I wanted no greenery/minimal and very densely packed and she understood the aesthetic and vibe right away. I got so many compliments on the flowers from everyone. It was a pretty hefty price tag but I called about a dozen florists who have done lots of weddings and for the vision I wanted (no babies breath, no carnations, no green, etc with mainly orchids and roses) she was the best value. By the way due to an issue with the Yelp map the location listed on here is not correct! Don't drive there! This is the correct address: 523 S Raymond ave pasadena ca 91105 You can text her or email her to confirm before driving there! I drove to the wrong address from Oc. All in all I have no complaints or regrets about the flowers and would highly recommend her! She arrived on the day of the wedding really early and the execution was flawless. She is a perfectionist and very professional. So although it was expensive for our wedding I think it was well worth the price and I'm happy about how beautiful they are even in my pictures!

We loved working with DeFlora! Jina was amazing. I had a hard time articulating the color scheme of florals that I wanted but Jina was able to talk it through with me. She was very generous with her time, never hesitating to go though with me what colors and shades were in season, how they might look the day of my wedding and what she thinks would be the best plan of action.She was beyond accommodating and even offered to make last minute switches if I wasn’t in love with the florals. We didn’t have to resort to that because I LOVED how the florals came out. They turned out perfectly and were the perfect balance of roses mixed with whimsy touches.She also sourced the pedestals and vases that we wanted and despite a communication mix up error on our end, she went with the flow and executed everything perfectly. On top of everything, she’s so reasonably priced. I cannot recommend Jina enough. Thank you for making my floral dreams a reality!!!

I'll never forget walking into the venue on my wedding day and seeing our floral vision brought to life by Jina. We had given her our inspiration photos but to see it all come to fruition was simply breathtaking. Our planner had recommended her to us and it turns out one of my bridesmaids had actually used her for her own wedding a few years ago. We had a couple of meetings with her in her Pasadena office before our wedding to plan the design plus view and finalize the samples. She was prompt in her replies, easy to work with and is just so talented at creating beautiful floral designs. From the colors to the flowers she chose for our arrangements, we loved everything she designed for us. We got so many compliments on everything from the bouquets to the centerpieces to the gorgeous ceremony arch. As I go back to look at our photos from our wedding day, I'm still in awe of how gorgeous everything turned out, thanks to Jina's designs. Honestly, I'm not sure I'll ever get over it. And that's one feeling every bride would be lucky to have. My husband and I definitely recommend hiring her for your wedding!

Jina at De Flora created the most beautiful arrangements for our wedding day! She brought our vision to life so perfectly from just looking at inspo pics. She really exceeded our expectations! Jina was super kind and patient during our floral preview too. She helped swap out different vases / centerpiece stands while I was being very indecisive :) Also, I asked if we could change some of the floral colors (the original pink was pretty but too pink for my preference) and she introduced me to the gorgeous quicksand rose, which was the perfect dusty shade I was looking for! On our wedding day, Jina and her team arrived on time to set-up and deliver the flowers. I loved my bouquet so much and now wish I had preserved it! The bridesmaid bouquets, groomsmen boutonnieres, parent corsages, and flower girl crowns were so pretty and perfectly in sync with one another. Jina was also very resourceful reusing flowers from the ceremony arch for our reception. We had a fountain in the center of our reception, which she covered in flowers and candles -- it was truly magical! Our wedding would not have been so picturesque without Jina and her amazing arrangements!

Jina was very professional from the beginning and I honestly left everything up to her and the outcome was so beautiful. She definitely knows what she is doing! We got so many compliments from the guests about how beautiful and aromatic the flowers were and the wedding was just as I imagined.

My daughter and I did a lot of research finding vendors. Jina gave us a floral bid that covered everything we asked for. She wasn't the lowest bid but many were significantly more. Part of her strategy was repurposing many of the arrangements--nothing went to waste. We asked for roses, anemones, peony, willows in white with only a bit of dusty rose tones. Jina's choices were "spot on". I especially appreciated that she arranged for a viewing of a sample centerpiece. It was beautiful and gave me the opportunity to choose the pedestal, candles and any other additions. Jina was open to suggestions, as well as, offering many of her own. The day of the wedding the flowers were more spectacular than I envisioned. Her coverage of a very large gazebo for the ceremony was perfect. And inside the reception included a kings table seating the wedding party that had raised flowers along the entire length of the table along with suspended candles in glass holders. Jina forgot nothing. In addition to how opulent and incredible the flowers looked, they stayed looking fresh. I was warned not to use hydrangeas because they wilted so quickly. I don't know how Jina did it, but the hydrangeas along with all the other flowers looked great throughout the day (including the time outside in the sun) and continued to look good 1 week later. Jina was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her without hesitation.

Our wedding planner recommended Jina and we are so glad that she did! From our initial meeting, we knew she was going to be a big part of creating a magical wedding. We were indecisive with what flowers and design we wanted and she came prepared with ideas and beautiful suggestions! When we met for our mock up meeting, we were so happy with her designs and were impressed with everything she had available in her store. On our wedding day, our flowers were so romantic and dreamy!!! The entrance way, arch, centerpieces, and sweetheart table were absolutely gorgeous! We are SO in love with how everything turned out! She did amazing!

I first saw Jina's work in person at a wedding I attended a few years ago. I was in awe of all of the attention to detail that she showcased and the beautiful florals that surrounded the ceremony and reception sites. I am actually a wedding planner and designer so I knew that I wanted to work with her some day. One of my clients was looking for geometric details for her wedding flowers and I instantly thought of Jina. I asked Jina to first do a meeting with me to discuss her process and her ideas for my client's wedding. Jina is very personable, 100% honest, kind and really expresses her expertise with floral design. When I worked with her on design suggestions for my client, she gave a few different suggestions to review with my client knowing that my clients were conscious of the overall budget for flowers. When we did the floral mockup at De Flora's studio, my clients were in love with all of the setup and details. We were all excited to see her work on the wedding day. As a vendor partner, working with Jina was a dream. Jina and her team executed the wedding with grace, style and professionalism. I received so many compliments from wedding guests on the floral decor and so many guests wanted to take home flowers because they were gorgeous. I appreciate Jina and her team for all of their hard work and I look forward to working with her again in the future. If you are looking for a floral designer for your wedding, look no further...De Flora is it! Jina is amazing, you will love her and her work!
