About Green Cottage

My name is Laura and I have been a florist since 1994. After attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising for my Merchandising AA I began working at a flower shop and fell in love. Over the past 10 years I have studied with many different designers and learned wonderful ways to hone my skills. Every one of those designers has brought something different to the table. I have noticed more and more that people love to create their own designs. I am happy to offer tips and suggestions for you to successfully make your own arrangements; however, also have daily specials and my own custom designs for you to buy directly off the shelf. I am often asked what I consider my ‘specialty’ to be…I can not give a definitive answer. Before opening the shop I specialized in weddings and events. I have a funky eye for color, but prefer pastels. I love tropicals but roses will always hold a place in my heart.

I chose Rancho Santa Margarita for the shop location due to the fact that I am so proud to live in this city.

FAQ's

Where are you located?
I am in the El Paseo Plaza in the heart of Rancho Santa Margarita, California. You can’t miss me- I am the only florist in town!

What are your hours?
Monday thru Friday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Saturday 10a.m. – 2 p.m.; Sundays: closed.

Why are you closed on Sundays?
I have a family and love spending time with them! If you REALLY need something from me on a Sunday, give me a call and we’ll see if I can help you out.

What if a holiday falls on a Sunday?
Wow. Sundays are seriously a big deal for you… Ok, just for those who need me on a holiday AND it falls on a Sunday: I’ll be open special hours. Call for those when it gets close to that time.

What do you offer?
Everyday flowers in market bunches as well as pre-made arrangements, event designing and delivery.

Do you charge for consultations?
No.

What if my flowers don’t last and I want a refund?
I will happily replace any flowers that leave my store and don’t last 24 hours after purchase. No questions asked, bring in the flowers you aren’t satisfied with and I will give you either a new bunch of the same flowers or something comparative or refund your money.

What are your event requirements?
50% down to secure my services; the remaining balance is due and must be paid 7 days prior to the event. If final payment is not received prior to event, you will forfeit any return of deposit. If there are extenuating circumstances, I am a reasonable individual and will do my best to understand your situation. I will work with you if needed.

Is my deposit refundable?
Yes. I have a schedule that is broken down in my contract.

Do you deliver?
I deliver locally and out of area as well- fee’s start at $5 and go up depending. I am a small operation so I can not guarantee delivery at the time you may want it to be where it is going. I WILL, however, do everything I can to get the delivery to the person requested at the time you want. Event delivery is different- obviously if your event starts at a set time I will have the flowers there prior to that set time and will work with vendors to make sure we are all on the same page.
