The Language Of Flowers

This is a unique business that can create a personal flower arrangement in a flash! In addition, you can feast your eyes on the most unusual and beautiful items for your home and
gifts.

Emily is awesome and a true professional! Guys if you’re looking for a great gift for your wife or girlfriend try this place out. Wonderful people, great customer service.

Was just in for a small bouquet of flowers the day before Valentine’s Day. I know, it’s late but here is what happened:
Knocked on the locked door at 10:07am (they open at 10). The woman on the phone inside looked me straight in the eyes as I made the universal «are you open» gesture… No response. Totally ignored.
Another woman came and unlocked the door for me. I asked whether I can come in and look around and she literally laughed in my face.
Extra star for them saying bye to me as I left.
Another for beautiful, top-​notch flowers.
Disappointed with the decline in customer service. I guess they have been in the neighborhood long enough now that they can start being rude when the mood strikes them. Bummer.

Horrible customer service and attitude when browsing the shop. Too bad– bc the shop is so cute!

The shop is adorable from the outside, I wish I could report I was able to go inside, not the case. Be aware they have a very strict no food or beverage policy. I was not able to bring my to go cup of coffee inside, and even when I offered to set it down on the ground outside I was told that they prefer I not do that. Very upsetting as I was on my way to a memorial and I thought some flowers might brighten the mood.

Emily is a wonderful florist and people person. I wanted to send a floral gift at last minute and she delivered. As I don’t live in LA I had to do so over the phone. Her courteous staff made sure that the arrangement would be just right and even though there was a miscommunication re the delivery, Emily was right there to make sure that it all worked out. I will definitely use this florist in the future when needed. Thank you, Emily!

Our wedding was better for having found The Language of Flowers.
We did an intimate event on the Santa Monica bluffs and changed our original plan a week before wedding day. My wife and I walked in, met Emily, and literally left 30 minutes later knowing everything would be perfect.
The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and our guests raved about them. We had a bouquet and boutonnière that were precisely what my wife imagined, an arch that was beautifully decorated and the perfect focal point, and my niece (our flower girl) had a moss-​covered basket with her rose pedals. We will post pictures once we get them, but in the meantime, I wanted to get this post up and say…
Kudos to you Emily and The Language of Flowers on a job VERY WELL DONE!

Emily truly has an eye for all things lovely. I’ve come here three times now and there is usually a mix of big gorgeous wedding arrangements, tiny succulents to liven up a coffee table, sprawling orchids, and all kinds of adorable little trinkets that are perfect for gifting. I don’t usually write Unilocal reviews, but this place is a delightful little spot that shouldn’t be missed.

Don’t trust them. I got a bucket for valentines day, and the flowers died in the next few hours, inside their vase. Also, this lady didn’t give me a receipt after paying cash…

As the other reviewers have stated — Emily is a genius with flowers.
We were fortunate enough to have Emily provide all of the flowers at our wedding up in Santa Barbara and for all of our special occasions since.
I wish I could post a picture of the flowers that were delivered to my wife today for our 2^nd anniversary — they are AMAZING.

After passing by this charming store one afternoon, my fiancé and I had a great wedding consulttion. The owner said she’d send us inspiration photos and an estimate in the next few days.
After a week of radio silence we finally received an odd email with no estimate or photos, stating that «we totally understand and respect your budget constraints and hope you will understand our inability to participate further at this time.» After I reiterated our interest and lack of budget constraints, the owner again said she’d send an estimate and photos in the next few days.
A week after that when I still hadn’t heard from her I sent another email to check in. The owner then sent oddly defensive emails, and we decided not to pursue things further. While the floral arrangements here are lovely — breathtaking, in fact — I prefer to work with vendors with solid business/​customer service skills.

I love coming here, it’s such a peaceful shop and the owners are a family who are extremely friendly and nice to chat with.
I buy orchids regularly from various flower shops and groceries but theirs last the longest for some reason. I treat them all the same but the planted orchids I get from Emily (double stemmed white/​in a planter that I bring in myself) last 3 months easily.
I’ve sent a few friends and my grandmother to their shop and all the feedback has been really positive. It’s also a great little place to get gifts (lavender packets, «The Language of Flowers» book, great treats from France.)

Emily and staff are incredibly nice and always put together great arrangements in a pinch. Emily does a great job and her prices are very reasonble. I highly recommend her to everyone I know.

My favorite new discovery! Emily is amazingly talented and sweet as ever. I ordered the cutest succulent potted in a reclaimed wooden box. Prices are surprisingly reasonable and the majority of the plants are organic! A gem!

Emily and her staff are wonderful! We cannot imagine going to any other florist in L.A. Every arrangement we’ve received or ordered from them has been beautiful, elegant, and memorable. We love this shop!

They did my flowers for my wedding and was not happy with how my bouquet turned out. Specifically asked for peonies on my bouquet but instead they charged me $ 500 more than what they quoted and got peonies but other flowers on my bouquet as well. Not happy with the service I received and I felt like Emily didnt listen to what I wanted. She gave me what she wanted. She was nice though… Our wedding at the Greystone Mansion was beautiful minus the flowers.

Mean People!!! If you want to be treated patronizingly, suspiciously, and spitefully take your business here, otherwise take your business elsewhere…

Absolutely lovely little shop!!! I get bouquets here every week, and they are always decadent and so beautiful! Emily, the owner, is so fun and kind and knowledgeable, and Frieda, who works there mainly on weekends is also a joy too! They have wonderful, unique little gifts and the shop has a very European antique mart feel. I have been going consistently for over two months now (as I live right next to the shop), and am always amazed by the creativity and beauty that comes with every bouquet I take home! Found my forever florist :)

Emily is a genius with flowers! I wandered into The Language of Flowers when I was in Santa Monica and looking for a florist for a thank-​you gift. I immediately knew I was in the right place. The shop is so cute, and Emily, the owner, is both knowledgeable and fun to talk to.
As for the flowers… Based on our conversation, Emily designed a (reasonably-​priced) succulent box for the thank-​you gift that totally wowed the recipient. I was so excited by what she’d put together, I decided to have her create a bouquet and boutonnieres for my wedding, and she knocked those out of the park, too.
This isn’t one of those shops where you walk in and pick out a pre-​designed arrangement of roses, baby’s breath, other filler flowers. Trust Emily, and you’ll get amazing floral arrangements!

This place is such a find! The first time I walked in, I thought I was in a little flower shop in France. It’s so much more charming than most of the other flowershops I’ve been to (an I’ve been to a few!) and their arrangments are always really, really pretty. My husband ordered some flowers for his parents for the holidays and they went so well in their dining room that it looked like they’d been there all along! Lots of style and a cute little boutique as well. Oh! And the garden… you must see the garden.
