Shawn:
I received a flower arrangement from your store on Nov 15. It came in a box with a cornucopia basket atop a box of mixed blooms and can only be described as an absolute work of art. After six days it is still spectacular.
Just wish I could keep it forever.

Iva Bloom is amazing! I am very much into flower design myself, so I was extremely particular when choosing a florist for my wedding. I interviewed several different florists but I chose Shawn at Iva Bloom because of his attention to detail, quality choice of flowers and he listens to exactly what his customer wants. He is brilliant. Not only that, Shawn is quick to call or email me back whenever I had a question or needed to tweak an arrangement...very professional! My flowers arrived on time and were the center of attention. Every detail was perfect. I give Shawn Cole of Iva Bloom my highest recommendation!

Hello Shawn,

I thought you’d enjoy seeing the attached pictures. The first picture is my Christmas China with the gold reindeers. The second picture shows how beautiful your centerpiece looked on my table. The third picture is of my son wearing the orchid

lei for his graduation.

Additionally, you made a fabulous tropical arrangement for my mom, Ellen Harvey. My cousin, Marian, ordered it from you to send to my mom who just had a stroke. The arrangement was a work of genius and got ooohs and aaawwws from everyone who saw it. It brought a lot of joy to my mom.

I just love your work and I will recommend you to everyone I know. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Happy New Year!

Wedding: 8/29/2010

 

Absolutely Stunning!!

 

Shawn, you are amazing! I am so glad I happened upon your shop that saturday morning in Dana Point . My daughter Caitlin recently got married at the beautiful Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa in La Jolla , California . This venue is so beautiful and unique - we had to find just the right florist that could enhance the setting and not distract from it. After meeting with several florists from Los Angeles to San Diego , we were disapppointed to say the least. Then we found Iva Bloom Signature Florist, and immediately knew that owner Shawn Symes was the floral designer we had been looking for. His vision and instinct are so incredible. My daughter loved that he knew exactly the look she was going for after just three sentences! Other florists didn't quite get it. I was estatic that he was able to do everything my daughter wanted and still stay within my budget! Shawn I can't sing your praises enough! Not only are you a talented floral designer, you are extremely professional and a genuinely nice guy. My husband and I thank you for helping us give our daughter the wedding of her dreams! We couldn't have done it without you. If you are looking for outstanding floral designs for your wedding, you have to contact Shawn Symes at Iva Bloom Signature Florist. Crystal Clark

Hi Shawn,
The flowers were TOTALLY beautiful and precisely what I had in mind.  My mom was so happy.

I’m sure she’s extra happy today as I’m sure some additional blooms have opened :-)

Thanks you so much, it was a pleasure working with you!
