Amanda was a pleasure to work with and helped create the wedding of our dreams. Her floral arrangements were masterpieces and exactly what we envisioned. Every step of the way she was friendly and patient, and we can't thank her enough for all her hard work during these busy times. My bouquet successfully dried out in my garage, and I am so happy I will be enjoying her flowers for many years to come. Don't hesitate, choose Laughin' Gal Floral!!

Amanda was supposed to be my florist for my wedding in May 2020, unfortunately we had to postpone it to 12/19/20 due to COVID. She was a preferred vendor by our venue so we trusted her. When the California Governor shut down California two weeks before our December wedding, the venue cancelled our wedding on us. Amanda stole from me by refusing to give me my money back, not even half. She provided absolutely nothing in return even though she harvests her own flowers and they did not go to waste. I truly thought she was a genuine person after speaking with her on the phone several times, but at

Amanda is an absolute gem. We got married at Pema Osel Ling in the summer of 2019, and I couldn't have more great things to say about her. She is the most kind and genuine person as well as a brilliant farmer and florist. I am allergic to pollen, and she worked around that as well which was so appreciated and amazing. She was great at working within our budget as well. I wish I lived in Santa Cruz so that I could order flowers from her all the time!

The flowers Amanda curated for our daughter's wedding were absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!! beyond our wildest imagination. Her bouquets were simply stunning and we were all blown away by the incredible flowers! The tablescapes were so beautiful and our friends all remarked on them. A huge THANK YOU to Amanda for making an incredibly impressive, lush floral arrangement for the head table and making the wedding sign pop with just the right floral touch. Amanda is so talented and amazing. It was a pleasure working with her and we can't thank her enough for making the wedding so beautiful!!!

Me and my husband had totally conflicting visions for our florals for our wedding. Additionally, I changed our florals arrangement color scheme the week before our wedding. Amanda did an insane job of executing both of our visions that I could barely articulate. The bridesmaid bouquets were unbelievably beautiful and the table florals were antique and more stunning than I could have ever envisioned. I love Amanda's style of florals and attention to detail on everything she executed! I am a huge fan of all of her work and she is truly and artist!

No one knows flowers better than Amanda. Amanda is a true artist and knows exactly how to execute her clients' visions. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted, but after my first call with her, I knew I was in good hands. She took some of my photos and our conversation and came up with amazing floral arrangements. The bridal party's bouquets were gorgeous as were the reception table flowers. She created a beautiful flower canopy and provided some loose florals for the wedding cake. Amanda was super easy to work with and such a positive addition to wedding planning. Highly recommend

Okay I didnt have to say much to Amanda for her to totally just get my vision, which even I dont understand myself sometimes lol. We must be flower soulmates, because when I saw the flower bouquets, I pretty much died. Of happiness. I said I want wild, colorful, whimsical, small blooms but loosey goosey, not uptight, and just super fun. She took these words and JUST WENT BEYOND. Speechless and I have to say, besides having our wedding in the most beautiful green venue ever (Holly Farm), the flowers were one of my most favorite details EVER. HOLY MOLY. I DIE x1000000.

If you've seen any of the bouquets by Laughin' Gal Floral, you'll know that Amanda Seely has a true GIFT. For our wedding in May, I chose her over another local florist, both highly recommended by our venue, because I was so impressed with the level of detail she used to describe every bouquet in her initial quote, which was tailored to the responses I provided in a questionnaire. I wasn't very specific about colors or which flowers to include -- just that I like colorful displays -- and what she came up with blew me away. Nearly every guest at our wedding raved about how gorgeous

Amanda is an angel with incredible artistic vision. A sweet person who is easy going and mellow, but willing to bend over backwards to accommodate you even when she was multiple weddings per weekend. An Aromas girl through and through, just like me, so I knew I'd love her the second I met her. Thank you so much Amanda! You made our wedding magical!

DO NOT HESITATE - BOOK AMANDA NOW!
I got married at Mission Ranch on 9/2/18 and I honestly will not be able to fully express what extraordinary work Amanda did for me and how grateful I am for her!
Amanda was a delight to work with and was very patient with my MANY additions, changes, and questions throughout our planning process (ie - I was SUPER picky). She made time to meet with me and my Mom early in our planning process and spent over two hours with us at a coffee shop going over every detail, particular, wish-list item I had in mind.

I absolutely adore Amanda! When I first requested a proposal from her, she sent the most detailed spreadsheet with everything I could have ever wanted. She is SO good about responding in a timely manner and really helped make my vision real. She kept up with all of my notes and changes and sent me updated drafts along the way.
She greeted me in my Bridal Suite the day of the wedding to give me my flowers and was just the sweetest human. Her work is beautiful and her personality matches. All of the guests commented on how gorgeous the flowers were for the ceremony and reception. She really took

Seriously, I don't even know where to start. Hands down Amanda was my favorite vender for my wedding. From beginning this journey with her, planning and getting my ideas heard, all the emails and meetings, to the actual wedding.... what a dream. Amanda is the most talented florist and the fact that you are so down to earth and real! I love your personality, all of our other venders loved working with you, you had such a calm cool demeanor that just always made me feel relaxed, like hanging out with a best friend. Let's get to the flowers! Oh my gosh I could have died! GORGEOUS!! You saw

Amanda is the best! We just had our wedding on September 8th and were blown away by Amanda's service and arrangements.
Amanda provided us with THE MOST detailed quote very early on and seemed to see our vision exactly! We aren't from the area so we had to find a time to meet with Amanda a few months before the wedding. She was so kind and met us at our venue on a Saturday after already working a wedding that day (and our venue isn't super close to her location)! She also arrived very prepared with all of our notes and a personal flower arrangement in our colors! After going through

So first off I'm going to start by saying that Amanda at Laughin' Gal Floral is a total sweetheart and super genuine. I just got married on 8.18.18 at Club Del Monte Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, CA, and I am truly happy with the outcome of every single one of my floral pieces. When my wedding planner introduced me to her I could immediately tell that she was very down to Earth. Amanda truly listens to your vision when it comes to planning the floral decor for your wedding.

Amanda was the florist for our wedding at the end of April this year, and boy does she have a fabulous eye for floral arrangements!! She did the bridal and bridesmaid's bouquets, and the flowers for the altar arch. On the day of my fiance and I provided some fabric and a couple of pinterest photos of what we were thinking and she took it from there and made such a beautiful arrangement. She was a pleasure to work with, and if you like wildflower-style arrangements, consider her. She farms most of her own flowers, so you definitely will get something local.

Amanda and her flowers are tremendous!!! I absolutely LOVED working with her for my wedding day. Amanda was accessible, responsive, and had incredible ideas to make my wedding vision a reality, all within the constraints of my budget! The arrangements that she came up with completely exceeded my expectations. In addition to the flowers for tables, bridesmaids, boutonnieres, she also put together the most incredible hair wreath, that was all and more than I hoped for. I still dream about the arrangements from my wedding day! Thank you Amanda!!

I used Laughin' Gal Floral for my outdoor wedding in May 2016 and I was so happy that I did! Amanda was very professional and I loved her attention to detail. I really appreciated that she provided me with an itemized estimate including details about in-season flowers, estimated size, and the general vibe for the bouquets/boutonnieres/ceremony pieces. She also stayed within budget! I absolutely loved my bouquet but I think my favorite piece was the arch she created for our ceremony site. She went above and beyond with the floral arch and it really added a lot of joy to the wedding. Amanda

This vendor is amazing! She was great during our phone call and really understood what I was looking for in flowers. You can tell she has a passion for what she does, and she is damn good at it! My bouquets came out SO beautiful. She was very flexible in using blue bottles I had instead of vases for the tables, and adding my beloved pet's feathers to the bouquet for extra texture, and adding them to the boutonnieres. The groom even exclaimed "These boutonnieres look just like the photos we sent, they are exactly what I wanted."
