For my wedding, people were actually sad that we ran out of centerpieces to give out. My bridesmaid who was flying home still saved her bouquet with her to take on the plane. Our groomsmen told us (on their own free will) that they liked the boutonnieres. Those are true testaments to Kellye's talented eye, and artful design.
For the last few months, Kellye has graciously entertained my questions, email barrage of pinterest google image inspired photos - even though I am completely unversed in floral decor. Her vision and unique design, with a flair for color, texture, and contemporary design completely blew me out of the water. When I only used the words "bright," "fun," and full of texture to describe what I wanted-- she took the concept and ran with it. I still can't stop looking at photos of the flowers, because they were just. so. gorgeous.
Please-- check out her website, and give it a try! Our guests loved it, her prices were very reasonable, she was amenable to keeping to our budget, and her service fast and professional. If I actually was getting married again - and I don't plan to - I would use her in a heartbeat.
Many thanks, Kellye!

Kellye ffrom Precious and Blooming did an amazing job providing the fowers for my wedding. When I went for my first consultation with her, I had an idea of what I wanted but didn't have a total concept worked out yet. She really helped me to develop my vision. I put my trust in her and when I arrived at the venue to see the completed look, I was very pleased.
We had also gotten several quotes from other florists before going to Kellye. Hers was by far the most reasonable, and I feel like I got a lot for my money.
What she delivered exceeded my expectations - I would definitely recomend her to a friend.

Kellye is fantastic. Before finding kellye, I had another florist who stopped returning my calls after our first meeting because my budget was too small. Kellye met with me twice to help choose the right flowers and style to be within budget. She really understood what I wanted and then had great ideas for how to fit within that style, including cool vintage vases and votives. On the day of the wedding she was prompt and prepared. The only slightly negative thing I could say is that sometimes it would take a few days to get an email back from her during the planning process, but that pales in comparison to how great of a job she did.

I thought she did a fantastic job especially given the budget I gave her. She was extremely pleasant to work with. I was a little underwhelmed by my bouquet and I thought the manzanita branches were going to be taller and more dramatic but again, my budget was smaller and I think she tried to maximize it the best she could. I would definitely recommend Precious and Blooming to anyone.

Kellye did a fantastic job for my daughters wedding. The table arrangements were very creative and were a key piece in the overall theme. Many guests enjoyed taking home an arrangement at the conclusion of the reception.

9/7/10 I was thrilled with the flowers on the day of the wedding. The arbor was decorated so nicely just the way I envisioned it to be. We received so many compliments from our quests and would choose Precious and Blooming to our friends that are getting married.

Kellye was FANTASTIC! I had a general feel of what I wanted for the flowers but didn't know which exact flowers or vases I wanted. Kellye walked me through the whole process, added her wonderful creative touch, and got me exactly what I wanted. I didn't know what I wanted, but she did! She is incredibly helpful, responsive, and produces beautiful work. She was a tiny bit more expensive than other florists I looked into but she was by far the most charismatic and creative person I talked to. It would have been scary to trust someone when I didn't give them specific instructions but Kellye was absolutely trustworthy and reliable. Thanks for the beautiful flowers Kellye!!

It was such a pleasure to work with Kellye at Precious and Blooming. My wedding was at Nestldown in the Santa Cruz Mountains and the ceremony was in an outdoor chapel, no easy feat to decorate such an already naturally beautiful location. However, she improved it!
She is an amazing artist and really managed to incorporate all these crazy ideas I had into a tasteful masterpiece. She also was able to work within my budget and even change things around when the budget changed. She is just a very sweet and very professional Lady and it's easy to see how passionate she is about her work. She even contributed added embellishments, like pieces of antique jewelry to decorate my bouquet, without any added charge.
Thanks so much for making my day beautiful Kellye, it was wonderful!

Kellye of Precious and Blooming is amazingly talented. She is a true artist and every single detail of her work shows. I never knew my wedding arrangements could be so jaw-droppingly beautiful.
From our first meeting, Kellye asked questions to get a complete picture of what my vision was for my big day, my personality (and my fiance's), and personal style. I told her I was a risk taker, and that I wanted my flowers to be untamed, bright, bold beautiful and ultra dramatic. And boy did she deliver. My arrangements were an assortment of exotic fuchsia, purple and marigold florals with peacock feathers, submerged florals, and lush tropical blooms. I couldn't stop staring at them!
I studied her work carefully before choosing her, and it was obvious that she had a passion for her work. You can tell in the little details. And not only that, Kellye was responsive, professional, and always a joy to work with. I had really high expectations for my wedding team of professionals. I'm usually a control freak and didn't trust anyone to understand and fully execute my vision. But Kellye really listened to what I wanted, and helped me articulate what I wanted...yet she kept me within my budget. I originally almost ruled her out because I saw her work and assumed I couldn't afford her, but that wasn't the case! She gave me lots of options to focus my package on the areas where they'd make the biggest impact at my wedding.
In short, I could not be more happy with my decision to choose Precious and Blooming. She FAR exceeded my expectations, which were high to begin with, so that says alot :) Thank you Kellye!!

Kellye did an amazing job at our wedding! We had our wedding at Mountain Winery in Saratoga. It was an all outdoors event and we wanted a romantic look. I showed her a few pictures and described the look we wanted. She created exactly what we were looking for, even better than we imagined. She was very organized and I never had to worry about a thing with the floral arrangements. It was such a pleasure to work with her. She did a beautiful job and I would highly recommend her for any event. Thank you Kellye!

Working with Precious and Blooming made my life so much easier. Kellye is very talented and came up with exactly what I wanted, even when I was not totally sure what I wanted. I made a few changes and last minute requests, but nothing seemed to be an issue. I told my husband it would be a great idea to have something, bouquet or table arrangement remade for our anniversary. I had a lot of the flowers in my house for the few days in between and they looked great even up till we went on our honeymoon. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any bride! What a great vendor and I felt like I was working with one of my close friends from the day we first met!
Thanks for everything!

Planning a destination wedding can be a bit overwhelming, but Kellye (owner of Precious and Blooming) made me feel like she was just up the street. She was never more than a phone call or an email away and always made me feel like I was her only client. Kellye's work was exquisite and more beautiful than I ever imagined, not to mention very affordable. She truly listened to everything I wanted and put her own creative spin on it. From the bouquets to the center pieces (and everything in between) Kellye's incredible attention to detail was worth every penny!

I can't say enough about Precious & Blooming - Kellye was absolutely fantastic! From the very first time we met she was always professional and extremely responsive. I was on a limited budget and Kellye was willing to work with me to make my ideas for the floral design a reality on my budget. She listened to my ideas and then gave suggestions based on her expertise and experience to take my flowers to the next level.
Kellye went above and beyond while working on my wedding. She took the initiative to go visit my reception and ceremony sites on her own (they were about 2 hours away) so she could get an idea of what would work best. Her visit resulted in some new ideas that were perfect for the venues.
I loved working with Precious & Blooming and will be recommending her to my family and friends!

Kellye Clifford at Precious & Blooming did a wonderful job for our wedding. She is extremely creative, very easy to work with and did an excellent job of sticking to our budget. She laid out a vision for how the room would look, and was able to help us with various trade-offs to help us stick to our budget. Highly recommended!

DONT LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE! Kellye is an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only does she have fabulous taste, she created unbelieveably gorgeous arrangements, while working with my budget! Kellye is reliable, affordable, and incredibly talented! She uses quality flowers, that for me held up in 100 degree weather! I searched forever to find a florist in the East Bay that could create arrangements that matched my vision for my Tuscan inspired vineyard wedding, and Kellye was the ONLY florist I found that did this. Hands down she is amazing!!

Kellye was a pleasure to work with and very open to new ideas. I wanted my floral arrangement and decorations to be non-traditional and Kellye worked hard to execute the vision I communicated. She was also very responsive to my emails and phone calls. Living in LA while planning a wedding in Northern CA is not easy but Kellye definitely helped make that process easier.

Precious and Blooming did a fantastic job on our wedding day. Thier flower arrangements were beautiful. With that said, there was no flower for the grooms lapel. This was discovered in the refrigerator the next day with a note "for the groom."

Kellye's work was over and beyond what I could have hoped for. I actually had trouble leaving for my own honeymoon because of that awesome arrangements that were still left in my house unclaimed from the night before!! Every bit of flower and greenery was of impeccable quality. I appreciate how open she was to visiting both of my sites (for ceremony & reception) which really gave me full confidence that we were on the same page.

Precious and Blooming made my wedding wonderful. The creative center pieces brought the whole theme together and just helped to transform the day into what I dreamed it would be. Kellye is so creative that she can take a general idea that the bride gives her and transform it into a masterpiece. I would not have gone to anyone else and I have been receiving beaming compliments from all of the guest about the flowers.
