With the stress of planning a wedding and pressure of making sure everything is perfect I can guarantee that with The Wild Olive it will take a major weight off your shoulders. By the time I got to the floral part of planning I was overwhelmed and quite frankly kind of over it, I gave them color scheme and a few inspo photos and with that she made all my floral dreams come true.

Timeless Arches, LLC 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Carnelian Bay, CA
  • Offer

I grew up in a florist shop and always loved flowers. When faux flower became so good they were fooling gardeners and bees, I knew this business would be good for everyone. I can help save the environment as well as make wedding ceremonies absolutely stunning! I specialize in making the ceremony site dazzle with large floral pre-made instillations. These florals can be moved, for a small relocation fee, to your reception to make a dynamic sweetheart, cake table or entryway. I do not offer centerpieces or bouquets. I have found most brides want these fresh. I do however carry single rose bud centerpieces in white, pink or red only.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Timeless Arches for an event in Reno, and I can’t say enough about their exceptional service and breathtaking work! From start to finish, they exceeded every expectation. I reached out with a specific request for floral arrangements, and despite the tight timeline, Timeless Arches delivered with remarkable speed and precision. The turnaround time was nothing short of impressive, ensuring everything was perfect for the big day. Heather’s creativity truly stood out—she’s a visionary! The floral designs she crafted were not only stunning but also perfectly captured the essence of the event. Each arrangement was a masterpiece, blending elegance and originality in a way that elevated the entire event. The vibrant colors, thoughtful compositions, and meticulous attention to detail made the venue in Reno absolutely magnificent. Guests couldn’t stop raving about how the flowers transformed the space into something magical. Timeless Arches, led by Heather’s extraordinary talent, made the event unforgettable. Her professionalism, quick delivery, and unparalleled artistry deserve every bit of this five-star review. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for floral perfection! Bravo Heather

I ordered the silk magnolia bouquet (Shelbie Bridal Bouquet - Hand tied) and opted for the scent to be added. They arrived and already looked perfect with very minimal fluffing/adjustment. I was nervous the scent would be strong or too artificial but it was light and natural. They photographed beautifully and let me have a taste of home with the magnolias all the way across the country. Gorgeous.

My daughter’s wedding was last Friday and it was absolutely perfect. We ordered flowers a few weeks before the wedding and got our first box no problem. The second box with the rest of the order was coming from a different location and UPS made a mistake with our address. If made me so nervous and I thought we are not going to have time to put flowers together but luis stepped in and resolved this situation very professionally. We got our flowers the same day and I can’t thank him enough for acting quickly and being incredibly helpful all they way. All of the flowers that came in looked great. My friend getting married in a few month and I would highly recommend Moxie Flowers to him and everyone who is having a wedding or any other event. A!!!

The flowers (on our order) came in large boxes, but they were not labeled, so it took a minute to get the flowers both identified and properly set up. To be fair we were warned about the process, but not about the length of time due to our inexperience. As a note, it took my fiancé 5 hours to process the flowers when first receiving them. I also did not have any updates from them from the time I ordered till they were being shipped. They were beyond more affordable compared to other florists, and the flowers arrived alive and in good spirits. We were able to keep the flowers alive for over four days!! Many of the flowers that we chose did not have specific instructions, so we had to follow the general reference for the flowers and hope for the best. Additionally, some of the flowers that we wanted were not in stock, and they were replaced for us with substitutes but were not notified until we had all of the flowers already delivered to us. Also, as a note, bloom culture uses third party sellers for their flowers, so the quality may vary depending on location. Our flowers were in good condition, and the company we had clearly took good care of the flowers prior to delivering them to us. Would we do it again? Probably not, but it made for good laughs and bonding time and we have stories to tell from it!

Planning a wedding comes with many challenges, especially when you have a fiance with a K-1 visa. If you're like me, all of your planning is at the mercy of the immigration system. However, Alba was one of the people who made the process go smoothly! When I hired Alba as my florist, I told her about my San Francisco City Hall wedding and that I wanted smaller bouquets and boutonnieres, since there were only a few people coming to my wedding. I told her that I loved peonies and hydrangeas and my color palette and she created the most beautiful arrangements for my wedding! I hired Alba because she was communicative and flexible with dates, but I would honestly hired her again because of her immense creativity! When you plan a wedding, you need vendors that will make your life easier, not harder and Alba most assuredly made my life easier. When you plan a wedding in a short amount of time, it's hard to feel like a real bride. All I wanted were fresh flowers and nice pictures for my wedding day. Alba was one of the people who made me feel like a real bride who could enjoy her wedding day! Because I live further away, I met her halfway to pick up my flowers and it was easy transition, too. If you decide to hire Alba, just know you are working with professional, who is kind and immensely talented. Thank you again, Alba!
