  • “Fantastic service! My daughter was married this past Valentine's Day and the bouquets she ordered from another florist were not fresh and the wrong color. I called Oakland Florist and the owner was wonderful and able to make two gorgeous bouquets in less than an hour, in time for the photos. On one of her busiest days I'm sure.”

  • “To start off I’d like to mention the owner is a kind lady who really knows her stuff when it comes to a nice bouquet, I’ve picked up 2 sets of flowers for special occasions and my girlfriend loved them. She was punctual and gave me a good time to arrive and it was quick and simple purchase. Will be coming here for all my flowers.”
