The Nature of Things Fine Flowers

Thank you Nature of Things Fine Flowers for the care and attention you gave to our arrangements! Everything was beautiful and as envisioned. We only left the heart at the cemetery and brought the rest of the flowers to our reception at our home. We used all the flowers throughout the seating areas and they continued to be enjoyed through the evening. I also sent arrangements home with friends and family. When I got up the next morning I was greeted with an amazing scent from our home filled with flowers. How it lifted my spirit! We are rearranging the flowers to take back to the cemetery to put on several family gravesites. As I took the casket piece apart to put the stems in water so we can keep them going at least for a photo on the gravesites, I was delighted to see each interesting plant, flower, color, and stem! Again, thank you for taking such good care of us at this time.

If you're looking for a florist who is incredibly talented, kind, and truly invested in bringing your vision to life, I cannot recommend this mother-daughter team enough! Mandy and Dawn were hands down one of our favorite vendors to work with throughout our wedding planning process. Mandy was always available for my random texts, last-minute ideas, and questions, and made me feel supported every step of the way. They took my vision and executed it flawlessly on our wedding day. My bridal bouquet was absolutely stunning, and every floral arrangement exceeded my expectations. Everything was thoughtfully designed and came together so beautifully. What really set Mandy apart was how easy they were to work with. They were mindful of our budget, offered creative suggestions to repurpose arrangements throughout the day, and helped us get the most value out of our florals without sacrificing quality or style. Their professionalism, creativity, and genuine care made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I would choose them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or special event. They truly helped make our day feel magical, and I'm so grateful we h

Mandy was incredible to work with. She made the entire process extremely easy and is a total pro. We did an elopement style wedding but still invited friends and family, and they delivered my bouquet to the mission Inn where we were staying, decorated the railing of the historic Riverside courthouse, and filled Mario’s place restaurant with the most stunning table centerpieces. The flowers were perfect, they communicated very well, and were a pleasure to work with. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing and got so many complements from my guests about their work.

We were thrilled to have our wedding at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa. The Director of Catering & Events provided us with exclusive vendor information, including six florists. We chose The Natural of Things, owned by a mother and daughter, to support our local community in Riverside. I contacted Mandy and shared our inspiration photos. She was immediately on board. My wedding was in December 2025, so I asked Mandy about spring flowers for my bouquets. I wanted peonies, roses, protea, ranunculus, hanging amaranthus, astilbe, hypericum, snapdragons, antique carnations, variegated ti leaf, nagi leaf, and camellia leaf. All bouquets would be tied with magenta silk ribbons and have handles for the maid of honor and bridesmaids. For the groom, best man, groomsmen, and ushers, I wanted lapel boutonnieres with coordinating florals and botanicals, tied with a magenta silk ribbon handle. Mandy assured me she would create the flowers and kept us informed throughout the process. As the wedding date approached, she emailed us an impressive proposal detailing the weather (68 degrees high and 46 degrees low) in December, along with the floral lists. It was detailed and organized. On our wedding

We had such an amazing experience with Mandy. She was so sweet and helpful with all our requests and graciously assisted with our last minute adjustments and adding additional florals towards the months getting closer to the wedding. She executed our florals so beautifully. We got exactly what we wanted. We are still getting compliments on our florals to this day. I cannot say enough good things about her and the services we received. She worked within our budget and was worth it. No need to look any further another florist she is the real deal!!
