I had such a horrible experience with them. I would NOT recommend them to anyone. If there is a way to give this company negative stars, I would.

Lavonne's did an excellent job with my flowers. I thought my requests were simple, but they still made sure everything was great. They called me a couple weeks before to confirm everything (LOVE THAT) and when I made a change, they were super flexible with it.I had a special request for little pictures to be placed on my bouquet and when I totally slacked on them, they allowed me to drop them off at the last minute!I only used them for bouquets, boutonnieres, a simple heart shaped floral arrangement, and tossing flowers.

Dear Jean, I just had to write to let you know what a wonderful job you did for my daughter's wedding at Occasions, Saturday September 17, 2011. When my husband picked up the bouquets and brought them to the suite where the girls where getting ready, everyone "oohed" and "ahhed"! The colors were so vibrant and exactly what my daughter had imagined them to be. She was so happy!Of course, the corsages and boutonnieres where wonderful, as well! When we eventurally got to the venue, the centerpieces where breathtakiing in those tall vase! People commented that it was so smart to have more than one purpose for the centerpices as they looked stunning along the aisle, then moved to the tables for the reception. Plus, we took them to brunch the following morning to decorate the tables! Several peoople commented on how gorgeous they were and asked who had done them. We were your best advertisement! We told them they were from La Vonne's Florist in Newport Beach and that YOU are terrific!!!

La vonnes is horrible! I saw a response to one of the reviews, so in advanced, I am not getting you confused with someone else. My cousin did all of my flowers(minus the ones lavonnes messed up) and they where perfect! The right colors and exactly what I expected! And she is not a florist! I ordered an all white bouquet (white white) What I got was peach roses, green hydrangea and white orchid blooms(the only thing right)I didn't pick up my flowers, so once mt aunt showed them to me I had her calm to tell them I was un happy and the flowers where not white! They said no, the are white, I saw them with my own eyes. Or corse with a rude attitude. They did not say sorry, offer to fix them, nothing! And they were so sour when I decided to only get my $150 package with them. And I'm so glad I did! The wedding would have been a disater if I had them do all of the flowers!Wether I'm spending $30 or $5000, I'm still a customer, and I didn't get what I ordered.Btw, they insisted that the roses they gave me (the peach ones) are the whitests roses come. I know for a fact they come in white white, I go to the flower mart in la and the roses in my bouquet was peachy! No doubt in my mind, or any true florist out there.

Although I did my own centerpeices for my wedding, I used LaVonne's Florist for the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, and cake flowers, and the ceremony decor. The flowers were beautiful and fresh, and I had absoulutely no worries or concers about getting everything there and set up...everything was done early and quickly. When we went for our consultation they were courteous, professional and pleasant. They made wonderuful suggestions and worked with our budget. I would highly recommend LaVonne's Florist.

We selected La Vonne's for our wedding party flowers and ceremony decor. My bouquet completely exceeded my expectations! The colors were vibrant, the flowers were full, and the little extra touches in the greenery and coffee berries brought it all together. LaVonnes did a simple rose petal aisle for us and beautiful floral pieces by the altar for the ceremony.Jean and her staff were wonderful during the consultation process, follow-up prior to the wedding, and day-of delivery of a beautiful product.

The flowers were beautiful - my bouquet was a little thin but everything else was very beautiful!

Everyone at Lavonne's is extremely nice and wonderful, with that said...I set up my consulation in June and I received a quote but by the time my wedding date got near...I decided I wanted to change the centerpieces. I called a MONTH before my wedding to ask if I can come in a change some of the centerpieces and I was told that I could not do that, that I could only add to my order. Okay fine. Lavonne's does not do a mock up or trial centerpiece so you cannot see what you will be getting...I was worried about that so I went in to take in some pictures of the flowers I wanted and how I would like the centrerieces to look. They placed everything in a file. When I saw my centerpieces on the day of my wedding I was a bit surprised because it wasn't really what I pictured. I agree with other reviewers that there seemed to be flowers missing and the colors weren't quite right. They weren't as full as I thought they would be. I also believed a got overcharged for a centerpiece but nevertheless, the flowers look really pretty. And I would recommend Lavonnes.

All I can say about Lavonne's Florist is they are fabulous. Lavonne's did all of our bridal party flowers, decoration flowers, cake flowers, etc. The colors and flowers that were used were just gorgeous and came out exactly how we ordered them. All of our guest raved about the cake and how it was decorated. They all wanted to make sure it was real, and asked if they could touch it to make sure. We would recommend Lavonne's highly and want to say thank you very much to them for the terrific job they did. Thanks!

Jean is awesome!! She is very professional and creative. The flowers were gorgeous at my wedding, I wanted to save all of them. I had an overall idea of the look I was going for and she did what she does best and pulled it all together fabulously! The flowers were a great value too, I got everything I wanted and more for an excellent price! I would use LaVonne's again for other events I have in my future!

Once I met Jean, the owner, I knew this was the florist I wanted for my wedding. Jean and her staff did a beautiful job with all my flowers. I knew I had nothing to worry about on my wedding day, and they proved me right! My centerpieces came out just as we discussed, the flower bouquets for the mom's were beautiful, and I absolutely loved my bouquet! You have to go visit her florist - it smells wonderful and everyone is so nice. Thank you!!

Jean from LaVonne's Florist was incredible! I worked with her off and on for the fourteen months leading up to my wedding and she was fantastic to work with. She was always quick to respond and great at looking at my ideas and finding ways that I could make my vision happen while staying within my budget. My flowers on my wedding day were to die for, I still am getting comments on how bright, fresh, and gorgeous my flowers were. She went above and beyond and my wedding wouldn't have been what it was without her. She executed my vision 110%!

I had heard only good things about LaVonne's and now I know why. The flowers were beautiful, my bouquet was perfect, everything was in place on time. I would recommend them to any bride-to-be.

Jean and her assistant at LaVonne's did a wonderful job with our flowers! All the flowers we wanted where used and in a very pleasing way. Everything was set up perfectly and we got a lot of comments about the centerpieces. The only thing that I wish had more flowers in them were the bridesmaids flowers, I felt they were a little small for the price we paid. There was also willow branches missing from some bouquets of flowers that were suppose to have them. Other then that we had a great experience!

Jean is amazing and so sweet- a pleasure to work with! She spent a lot of time with us and wanted to make sure she got all the details right. In the end Jean wasn't able to come to the venue due to back problems and I felt the flowers weren't exactly what we had talked about or what I had envisioned. Plus they forgot a boutineer and they had to improvise on. But people loved the flowers- I just knew they weren't what I had wanted.
