“I was recommended to Joleen from The Rusted Poppy by someone I went to school with. She was just getting into the floral business herself and said Joleen was the best of the best. Joleen was easy to connect with right away. Unlike with other florists, we got right down to business and started with our budget. Joleen worked her magic to capture our vision for the wedding while working within the money we had allocated for our florals. I shared my vision for a romantic, wildflower, fall look and Joleen brought it to life beyond anything we could have dreamed of. She even incorporated manzanita branches from my family property into the arrangements for extra special meaning. When I first saw my bouquet, I had to catch my breath. It was exactly what I had hoped for! I am having the piece preserved as a special wall hanging for our home - it was that beautiful! Our cake florals were simple and elegant. Our boutonnieres and corsages are uniquely eye-catching. Joleen's artistic flair and elegance can be seen in the little details such as these. I'm happy to share The Rusted Poppy name with anyone I know and pass along our good fortune of finding this florist. Joleen is a professional business person, excellent listener, adaptive responder, and a true artist. I wholeheartedly recommend her for wedding florals.Ceremony: Mission Basilica San Diego de AlcalaReception: Junipero Serra MuseumPhotography: Honey PhotographsVideographer: Blue Tiger FilmsFlorals: The Rusted PoppyHair and Makeup: Hannah Calo-WittDress: Grace Loves LaceCoordinator: The Bridal Budget BabeBand: The Mighty UntouchablesCaterer: Buckboard CateringCake: VG Donut & Bakery“
“I received a flower delivery from my sister for my birthday. They arrived early in the day and are absolutely beautiful. Possibly the most beautiful arrangement I've ever gotten from a florist.“
