Allure Flower Decor

ATTENTION BRIDES-TO-BE: Look no further, because Aline is the savior you are looking for.

This review is long overdue. I've been meaning to write it, but needed to wait for my final photos. When I received my final wedding album from my awesome photographers -- I ended up traveling, and got tied up with life but I'm here now to shed some light on your wedding planning.

I know what you're going through. You're searching the whole web looking for the right vendors, and interviewing anyone that is referred to you from your networks. I get it. It's an uphill battle because let's face it -- you are putting together the wedding of your dreams. Some say, this is supposed to be one of the best days of your life :)

Let's take it back to the beginning. My first frantic call to Aline was something to the effect of, "hello, I need help. I'm planning a wedding. I only have 11 months, etc." She was so pleasant and sweet at first interaction, and we were able to nail down our first appointment the following week.

When we met with her, her charm blew us out of the water. She was calm, collected, and walked us through a step-by-step vision planning process. Bottom line is that she asked us what we wanted and what we envisioned, and she asked us to trust her with the rest. I felt good after our first meeting, so we decided to hire her.

From there, we met with her several times over the months to review our gameplan or essentially, my 'wish list' -- she had pictures from her own portfolio and I would often text her some ideas that I would find on Pinterest. It truly was a genuine collaboration. She was never too pushy about adding things I didn't feel I needed, and always gave me options! That's one thing you can rely on with Aline -- she will work with your budget and always give you alternatives so that you can map out comfortable comparisons.

Yes, we spent a pretty penny but you get what you pay for. Also, her services are customized for your wedding and there is no "one-package-fits-all" in her shop. Think of it as the most daring à la carte selection you have ever done.

She also has a way of soothing out your anxiety, because she is so assuring and confident in her work.

Call her a decorator, a designer, or a tiny lady with magical powers -- Aline will not disappoint. Any brides that are considering in hiring her, please message me and I'm happy to answer additional questions or simply provide further perspective as her former client.

P.S. It's been months since our wedding, and I still receive compliments about about how our wedding was just simply exquisite. I will attach a few favorite photos captured, courtesy of KandidLight Photography!

Aline was wonderful! I absolutely loved working with her, she was very sweet and patience. She transformed Mayflower into a beautiful venue. I also gave her full control on the photo backdrop along with the flowers used to decorate my arbor. I'm so happy with how everything turned out. We reused the flowers for my cake.

We were also able to rent tea ceremony items from her without a problem. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a decorator/drappings for their wedding!

Last June, I was blessed to have married the love of my life. Our wedding reception took place at Dynasty Seafood restaurant in San Jose, 1st floor. Chi Aline was professional, talented and attentive to our needs. She transformed our inspirations, ideas and vision into a magical reality. When we walked into our reception space, my husband and I were stunned at how amazing it turned out. It was just what we had in mind, she was on point from the color, to the beautiful flower arrangements, the backdrop, the cake, as well as the cake table decorations. I was especially so in love with our sweetheart table and the fairy light background. Did I mention my bridal Bouquet? It was just stunningly gorgeous! We received so many compliments from our guests and family that night. Sure enough, it helped made our wedding much more special and meaningful.

Prior to our wedding, each of the meetings with Chi Aline was always pleasant. She has a cute personality, with a great demeanor and an awesome "can do" attitude. She was throughly and clear on the pricing, worked with our budget without pushing for more sale. She worked hard to make it possible for us, and we appreciate that.

All and all, I would definitely recommend Chi Aline to friends and family, especially to those who are looking for someone whom they can trust with the most important day of their life! She is a gift to the wedding industry. Schedule a consultation with her and find out for yourself, you will not be disappointed! I would give her 10 stars if Yelp give me that option!

Thank you so much again, Chi Aline for your amazing work and helped made our wedding dreams come true! It was a pleasure working with you!

The update has been a long time coming. My sister and mom called this place to get flowers for my husband's grandmother's funeral. Just one large flower arrangement on a stand. They arranged for a meeting and arrived on time.

When they got there, no one was at the shop. My sister kept calling and they said that they would be there soon. After more than 15 minutes, they called again and the woman on the phone just hung up. She did not pick up again. Super rude.

This brought back flashback for my wedding. She did the same thing. We made an appointment. She made us wait. Wasn't on time, but since she was doing the flowers on short notice, I guess I blocked it out of my mind.

I hope you will be able to get her to meet you on time, but they should be able to be professional and come before they are supposed to. This is a basic rule of customer service.

Great experience working with Allure Flower Decor. She was very attentive to our needs and budget. My bouquet was stunning and all the flowers for my wedding party :)
The decor at our reception hall was immaculate as a fairy tale!
If your looking for the magical experience call Allure!

Aline was such a pleasure to work with! If you want to have all your wedding floral dreams come true then come to Aline. The photos from our wedding speak for themselves.

Aline is a one stop shop. She has everything you could ask for and more. If you want chair bows-she has them.

If you want crystals hanging from your floral arrangements she has them, if you want gorgeous crystal appliqués to pull your curtains aside she has them. If you want a beautiful bridal bouquet, beautiful bridesmaids bouquets, and gorgeous bouteniers for your groomsmen and groom she will make them.

She is a true artist and was able to create the perfect arrangements for my very glam Persian wedding at the Bentley Reserve in San Francisco. My parents friends (who are very hard to please) were calling my wedding "the wedding of the century" and could not stop gushing about Allure Flower Decor.

Everyone wanted to take their flowers home and my bridesmaid bouquets were perfectly in sync with the bridesmaid dresses of which I provided a fabric color sample to Aline.

Aline never got irritated or upset or overwhelmed at any point in the process of planning this elaborate Persian wedding. She can handle anything. She helped my dream wedding become a reality. More professional photos to come when we return from our honeymoon!

I just wish chi Aileen lives closer to my home so I can order flowers for every occasion lol Thank you for beautifying and transforming our wedding venue into a gorgeous garden, yet still staying classy and elegant. We live in Sacramento so we only met with Aileen a couple times. I gave her my colors of the wedding. Little did we know, she transformed those simple ideas and basic conversations into a beautiful grand wedding event. I love all the details that she had for our wedding, from the glitters on every designated spots of the flowers to all the gemstones between each flower. Our venue that day smelled like flowers because they were so fresh. She also designed all the boutonnieres and our party favors. Her bouquets were gorgeous and a lot of guests were able to take the flowers home. The flowers even lasted almost two weeks, so they were very fresh, best part of all. Aileen is such a perfectionist and that's what we love about her. She went to our venue herself the day before to measure all the corners to make sure everything went well. Thank you for all you did for our wedding.

Aline is a one-of-kind designer that goes above and beyond to make our wedding décor dreams come true. Not only is she very personable and friendly, she gets things done fast and efficient. Her shop is adorned with small little things--such as her mouse that's the shape of a car! You can tell she truly pays attention to detail. Our initial consultation began with her asking what we wanted for our wedding. My wife explained to her exactly what we wanted--all of the color choices, must haves, and must have nots. We also wanted Aline to put her touch on things. In the end, we got a really nice, decorated wedding with just about everything we had hoped for.

We were not easy clients. We know what we wanted and needed someone who could see our vision. We spoke to another vendor, but she didn't have the same creativity as Aline, and the price was way too much. Aline stayed within our budget and accepted us as clients even though we asked her last minute.

We also ordered our cake through Allure. We were at first skeptical of the outcome, but in the end, it was very tasty. We actually wanted to order some more for ourselves! She also included extra charger plates, decorative knives, and other small details without charging us extra. You can tell she has a drive for her job and it show. I recommend her to everyone. She will listen to your ideas, help you find what's best for your needs, and her price is reasonable. Give her a call today!

Aline was our florist for our wedding ceremony and reception at The Ranch Golf Club, San Jose-- end of October 2016. They did an AMAZING job! My wife's and bridesmaids bouquets, the high and low centerpieces, boutineers, crystal arch for the ceremony along with dazzling centerpiece, candles, uplighting, sweetheart table, and drapes were all beautiful, detailed, and elegant. Everything was done on time and after the ceremony, her team seamlessly moved the arch centerpiece and highs/lows into the reception hall.

In short, we definitely recommend Aline to decorate your wedding. She made the outdoor and indoor space remarkably beautiful.

Side Note: She's very, very busy so when you make an appointment a few days prior, just follow up with her the day before or day of before meeting to ensure she remembers. We didn't have a problem because we always followed up a few hours before meeting her. On the day of the wedding, Aline and her team delivered big time. We are very happy with Allure Flower Decor.

I worked with Aline for a year on and off to plan for my wedding. We had a lot of email exchanges and probably met a total of 5 times in person. She's been in the business for a long time so you don't have to say too much and she would know your meaning. You have to realize that she has a lot of jobs and she might not remember everything you discussed before. So I used a lot of photos and wrote out details of everything we had talked about and printed it for her. I knew the theme and type of flowers I wanted going in and she suggested a few more that would be suitable to the modern romantic theme I was going for. She did all the flowers for my wedding, centerpieces and head table and ceremony decoration. I did hire another vendor (day of coordinator) to work on other decoration aspects of the venue. I had a few other things that I brought for Aline to use and she did not have any problems using the glassware that I had purchased.

I was disappointed the day of the wedding when I did not see her there doing the actual work being that I had spent the effort and time to work with her. She had somebody else doing the set-up. I am pleased with the results, but I believe certain things could have been better such as the pedals along the aisle. I paid extra for S pattern along the aisle, which did not end up being there at all, and I had hope the look of the pedals along the aisle would look at least "fuller". But overall, it was a pleasure working with Aline. Her flowers are BEAUTIFUL and FRESH. Her expertise is in design and floral arrangements.

Tip for those reading this review: She may end up doing multiple events on your day, if you want her there the day of, I would specifically mention it to her and may be even have it in your contract.
