OMG Tess is an awesome creater of the silks!!! Whew.....In 2004 she assisted me and made my wedding the "wedding of the year" and in 2008 my daughters wedding theme was "Love....in the fall" it was absolutely beautiful and still talked about.

Tess we love you!!!!!!

I went to visit Tessilk Flowers in consideration for my wedding after seeing them at the Del Mar Fairgrounds Bridal Show (yes, my wife made me go). We had entered the store with a general idea of what we wanted for our recption and the church, but nothing set in stone. Upon arrival, we were greeted as soon as we walked in, and within minutes, we were sitting down looking at several books of different arangements. Tess helped guide us along our path, and her prices were incredible! Much better than I had originally expected. Now we did not go all out due to budget, but Tess assured us that it would look great.
Forward a few months to our October 3rd wedding date. Since both the wife and myself had to prepare to get married, we just kept our fingers crossed that they would be at the venues on time and have everything set up. When I arrived at the church, Tess had the place looking stunnnig. Almost as stunning as my wife to be at the time. She did not skip a single detail. I couldnt have done it better myself had I had the resources. Needless to say, the reception was the same top tier quality if not better. The center pieces were the center of attention upon arrival of the guests. Tall, colorful and classy pieces that contained the freshest of flowers. I recieved comments on the arrangements all night long and i am sure my wife did also.
As a nit picky person who did his best to stay on budget, I must say that Tessilk Flowers is the best. Both quality and price. Check them out if you have an event requiring flowers, and you will not be disappointed.

Tessilk Florist- A+++++++++

I love Tes. Seriously, this woman is amazing. She went above and beyond the day of my wedding. Without her, things could have been disastrous. She saved my cake (see cake review below), she hunted me down to give me my boquets in person and she was at the wedding site for hours making sure everything was perfect. I’m not kidding you, if I was in charge of handing out wedding-awards, I would give them all to her! Definitly my favorite vendor.

I found Tes on BI, and I just knew she was going to be my florist. We clicked at our first meeting right away. She picked up on everything I was throwing at her and was so enthused about it all. She even sent her brother to my Dad’s house two days before the wedding to cut down the bamboo in our backyard for our centerpieces (they live at opposite ends of the county). Not only did this make the centerpieces cheaper (and AWESOME), it made them that much more *mine*!! Our bouquets were more beautiful than I pictured and she even wrapped me extra plumerias for my hair. I ordered 1 bridal bouquet, 6 bridesmaid bouquets, 5 corsages, 17 centerpieces (including vases, set up and hanging of glass), one bamboo arch covered in flowers and plumerias for the cake (again, see cake review). With what Tes did that day next to what we paid for her service, I can see why she is one of San Diego’s favorite florists.

I came across Tess's website after scrambling last minute for my wedding bouquets. I went into the flower shop and she knew exactly what she was talking about. My bouquets looked amazing. It was a purple explosion just like I wanted it =) Who knew that purple carnations for my bridesmaid would be so GORGEOUS! I am extremely happy that I came across her website.
Thank you Tess for a wonderful arrangement of bouquets for our wedding.
Sincerely,
Melissa and Tomas

Tess is AMAZING! We have been highly recommended to use her for our wedding this early September and we are very happy to have worked with her. From day one, she has been very helpful and reliable. She does everything to accommodate what the couple wants. She is always easily accessible and responds in a timely fashion. She is able to create the wedding you want and more. Our guests are still raving how spectacular and remarkable the flowers were!!!! Tess, you are simply the best! Thank you for everything!

Tess is the absolute best florist/wedding florist you will find when it comes to service AND price!! I was skeptical about driving down to Chula Vista, but if you go check her out you will be handsomely rewarded!

Tessilk was voted #1 Best Florist in San Diego on 10 News A-List: http://kgtv.cityvoter.com/tessilk-flowers/biz/367469
I found her on http://bridalinsider.com (my best resource as a bride in SD), and she was the most raved about. I recommended her to my friend and she saved her $1 - 2,000 from another quote she'd gotten.

Always cheery and bubbly, she met with us about 5 times, and picks up quickly on what you like and don't like. She even tried to suggest things that would make my hubby and me both happy when we disagreed. She also advises what is in season and how to save you money, event though her prices were much lower than anyone else I found. She also has a ton of vases, etc. that you can rent or that she will just include for free sometimes. She is the easiest person to work with and never got frustrated with me (although I was so indecisive).

She also is a problem solver and says she can make just about anything because her husband can weld. I wanted a unique huppah, so I bought some silver poles (curtain rods from Ikea) and brought them to her with the prayer shawl. She totally engineered and "flowered" it, without damaging the poles or the shawl.

She can also order most anything you want from overseas if it's not available here. Tess is really fantastic and another one of favorite wedding vendors!

Nov. 3rd Wedding

I live in Michigan, and directly called to order flowers from Tessilk for my mother's birthday. They arrived today, and my mother was VERY pleased. My sister joined in the conversation and said that they were the most beautiful arrangement she's seen, took a picture, and wants to paint the arrangement as a decoration.

I called from Louisiana to order flowers for my mom's 80th birthday. I picked Tessilk Flowers based on the website. The girl who answered the phone was so helpful. I know my mom will love the arrangement. Thank you!

Hi Tess!

Thank you for doing such a great job at our wedding on July 4th! The ceremony and reception site was absolutely beautiful, you captured our vision perfectly. Everyone was impressed by your work! Your are definitely one of our favorite vendors to work with! We will definite recommend you to all of our friends and family! Thanks again Tess for making our wedding day so beautiful!

Tess and her staff have been a pleasure to work with! All of the flowers at the wedding were soo beautiful. I especially loved my bouquet of pink peonies! I didn't expect the extra touches of flowers that were added to the cake and head table but loved it all. I met with maybe 5 florists before Tess and her prices are without a doubt the best. Thank you X100 for everything Auntie Tess! = ) Sorry for changing my mind a million times!!

Tes... I can not thank you enough!! I wish there was something I can do for you!!?? The center pieces that you created for the sample were absolutely amazing, we were all in aahhhh!!! I am so so exciting to see the rest of your work on my wedding day.. it is coming up soon!!!! Lots of flowers to make.. :)
xoxo Zora

Tess has a big heart and she truly cares about her brides! Her expertise is exquisite and her talent and creativity are unsurpassed. Thank you Tess!!!

Tess is doing all the flowers for my wedding and I am having lots of them!! :)
She is so amazing, and sweet, she will work with you very closely to make sure you get exactly what you want. She is definitely my FAVORITE wedding vendor, and I am so so excited to see all the flowers on my wedding day... :)

Tessilk's Flowers was extremely easy to work with! The staff is friendly and their services are extremely convenient. I cannot thank them enough for their generosity and all of their help making my prom night unforgettable. The decorations were beautiful and the entire process was facilitated by their obvious appreciation for their customers. I recommend Tessilk's Flowers for any event!

I have had the pleasure to with Tess and her amazing assistants for 5 years now. As a Wedding Consultant it is my job to find the most reliable, professional and likable wedding vendors in San Diego to refer to my clients. I am happy to say that 50% of all of my clients meet with Tess and hire her on the spot! (The other 50% have already hired florists before they meet me)
I really enjoy working with Tess on the wedding day because she is always on time, brings more than enough flowers to make every arrangement perfectly beautiful and always has a smile on her face!
I know my clients are getting the best florist in town and I have found a friend in Tess.

We have been using Tess since 2003 for all of our flower needs. She is great. She did our wedding in 2004 and we were very happy. We also get Stargazing Lillys 4 times every year. Tess is the best florist in town. You can get real flowers or silk was from her. She does a fabulous job. I have Tessilk on speed dial.
