Suzanne M Smith Designs

Suzanne and her team were such a pleasure to work with! Suzanne is truly amazing at what she does, and her work is so beautiful. She took all my ideas and went way beyond my expectations. The décor/​design for my wedding was so gorgeous thanks to Suzanne M. Smith designs. The flowers, centerpieces, bouquets, etc. all absolutely stunning! I also really appreciated Suzanne’s prompt responses to my and emails and questions. She gave us advice and really made coordinating easy. I would highly recommend Suzanne and her team!

Suzanne is THE best of the best in floral design! She spends a ton of time getting to know you and learning about your vision, and then brings it together perfectly the day of; she’ll even go through flower booklets with you before to ensure you like each flower before including it in an arrangement.
She’s honest with you about what will look great and what could look tacky, as well as what will and will not fit within your budget. Even with the tight budget we gave her and my bright color scheme/​polka dot theme, she managed to deliver the most stunning floral design I’ve seen in a wedding yet. I had so many quirky/​fun/​DIY wedding pieces, and she managed to tie them all together with her designs. It was absolutely beautiful!
I cannot begin to tell you how many compliments we received from guests about the flowers. Our chuppah was beyond gorgeous, as were our centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnières and corsages; I’m still looking at pictures and smiling as I think about how excited I was by each and every detail she put into our wedding day. Each of the designs seriously looked like it came straight out of the pages of a bridal magazine.
Not only is Suzanne a gifted designer and true professional, but a fantastic, kindhearted and fun person. It was such a pleasure working with her from the first email through to our in-​person meetings, the moment she brought in my bouquet, when the beauty of her work brought tears of joy to my face, and as my now-​husband and I said «I do» under her spectacular chuppah. Words can’t express the gratitude I feel toward Suzanne and her team for how special they made our wedding day. She even sent us a couple of pictures after the wedding, which we enjoyed looking at during our honeymoon layover.
I just love this woman and her team, and highly recommend Suzanne M. Smith Designs to anyone not only looking for florals that will impress, but also a designer who is a joy to work with and a pleasure to know! Thanks Suzanne!

We were recently married in Temecula and hired Suzanne as our florist. I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful Suzanne is so I will just start from the beginning. We had a budget which barely met Suzanne’s starting price. I have to admit that was a little off-​putting but we made an appointment to meet Suzanne and Chris and I left knowing that she was the one we wanted. She is great with ideas and she guided us through everything so we could really visualize what the wedding décor would look like. We could only afford the florist’s choice but I can honestly say that I had complete trust in Suzanne and that is saying a lot coming from a control freak. Suzanne is extremely busy but if I needed to see her or drop something off, or even run some ideas by her, she always made time. We went through a very thorough walk-​through of the venue and she and her staff really came through on the day of.
Our wedding ceremony and reception area looked stunning. Everyone loved it and most importantly, Chris and I loved it. Thanks Suzanne!

I will do my best to review her as she deserves! When I met Suzanne I had met with several florists before her. The reason I kept looking is because I felt no one really understood what was going on in my head. As a bride, you know what you want things to look like. But this probably isn’t your forte and you have no idea what words to use or the lingo.
At my first appointment with her, she sat with me and let me talk and talk and talk. Then– she started doing these sketches as I spoke and pulled out cards with photos of flowers in them. Then I kept talking and showing pictures and then she pulled out catalogs of glass designs, décor and other items. Lastly, I told her my budget. Now it was her turn to talk. And boy did she impress me! She is more than knowledgable about flowers, designs, other designers, and what is trending currently. She sat with me for over two hours and we even made a rough draft estimate. Then she added a ton of things I hadn’t thought of– hanging chandeliers, curtains, aisle décor, etc. When I walked out of there I knew that if I went with her– she would get the job done.
Months and months of planning later and so many emails later– she made my vision come true! Her designs, her own ideas and of course mine came to life and were so beautiful! She gave me exactly what I wanted!
I must mention the professionalism of her and her staff. There was so many of them but they were so quiet, so respectful, and so quick! People running in and out and you would never guess! My bridal bouquet was gorgeous and my aisle décor was breath taking! Our reception tables glistened and gleamed! It was so beautiful. Best part– she took care of everything. 24 hours before my wedding I needed an additional corsage and without any hesitation– she said she would do it. She also did the floral décor on I’m cake and I was blown away! She is a one stop shop.
Planning a wedding is so hard. Planning a wedding in Temecula in the hot heat is even harder. Suzanne makes it look so easy! She is so prepared, so knowledgable and so professional. I could not be happier with her, her beautiful designs and hard work. As an added bonus– she was so worried about the heat killing the flowers. I can tell you without a doubt that almost one week after a wedding in 90 degree heat– the flowers are still alive and beautiful as ever!
As a bride– I urge you to just have a quick phone call with Suzanne if you are planning a wedding or big event. As a picky person, I can tell you that she listens to you, and waits to see what you really want before getting to work.
Thank you Suzanne for making my wedding wishes come true! I can’t wait for the next event and I can’t wait for your continued beautiful designs!

I can’t believe there are so few reviews about Suzanne. I mean she is AMAZING! Not only is she a great and talented floral designer, she is also an amazing person overall. I had a few meetings with her regarding my wedding, and each meeting would last almost 2hrs because I had so much fun chatting with her! She has so many stories and ideas about flowers and designs, you can just tell how talented and passionate she is about what she does.
Suzanne did flower arrangements for my wedding ceremony as well as my bouquets and reception centerpieces. I wanted most of my flowers to be red roses, which I had no idea were so pricey! But Suzanne was able to get what I wanted at a price I was comfortable with (it did go over a couple hundred dollars, but the flowers were def worth it). All of the flowers were absolutely gorgeous, and I got so many compliments from my bridal party and wedding guests. You can’t go wrong with Suzanne!

Where do I begin to sing the praises of Suzanne M. Smith Designs?! I mean, seriously?!
From the first meeting to my wedding day, Suzanne was not only the consummate professional– super knowledgeable, beyond friendly, immensely thorough, and absolutely COMMITTED to staying on budget, she was an integral and irreplaceable part of all of our wedding day planning. Throughout the year or so before our wedding as I found myself bogged down in the details, I could always count on Suzanne to reignite my passion for planning by seeing my vision through her eyes– always exciting, full of whimsy and chock full of anticipation for our event.
Now let’s talk about the flowers– WOW! The quality of the flowers and other design accents were phenomenal! The special details she included that added a personal touch made all the difference. Everyone in our wedding party looked so beautiful holding or wearing her designs and our centerpieces were literally being fought over by the end of the evening. I truly could not be happier with how everything turned out. She even went above and beyond in adding other decorative floral touches on things that weren’t part of what I paid for!
In regards to vision, she will take your dream and figure out a way to make it work all without passing on any of the extra charges or ridiculous fees seen by a lot of other gougers in the wedding industry. I came to her with a modest budget but a HUGE vision, and she was able to make miracles happen in a way that is just astounding. Truth be told, I’m not much of a ‘flower’ girl and was even considering scrapping flowers for our wedding in lieu of something cheaper. I am SO glad I didn’t– the flowers truly added so much of the whimsy and romanticism I was hoping to emanate on our wedding day. What Suzanne did for us was beyond even our wildest dreams and we will be thankful to her for years and years to come.
As if all of this wasn’t enough, there is yet another reason we love Suzanne so much. Sometimes in this life, you get the pleasure of crossing paths with genuine, talented, good hearted people who enrich the lives of all those around them simply by the joy they hold in their hearts for what they do. Suzanne is one of those people. As the wedding planning began to wind down and the big day drew nearer, I began to realize our little project was ending and was a bit wistful and nostalgic as I knew it meant our daily design emails would cease. This is a testament to just how much Suzanne LOVES what she does, and how GOOD she is at doing it. She made a process that I anticipated to be stressful and taxing supremely enjoyable and something I missed as soon as it was over.
Thank you SO much Suzanne– not only for making our wedding dreams come true, but for helping make the process so easy, so fun, and so memorable.
We love you!

I really don’t know where to start when it comes to Suzanne and all she is… not only as a florist but as a person as well!
Suzanne can take a clump of mud and make it unique and amazing and beautiful. she is THAT talented. I am a wedding & event coordinator and have been working with Suzanne for about 5 years now and each and every client I send to her is more then satisfied they are ecstatic and thrilled! When the big day arrives and the flowers show up it is just an «awe» effect seeing it all come together!!! She works well with everyone, and will give you the best quality and design for your budget! I highly recommend Suzanne M Smith, and am thrilled to have such an amazing vendor on my preferred vendor list! Cheers! Jennifer Renee

After meeting with several different florists in the months before my wedding, I was convinced I was not going to find the perfect one. If you’re a bride-​to-​be, you know how agonizing it is to meet with people who just don’t seem to know what they’re doing. The florists I met with were either too expensive, lacked vision and creativity, or weren’t on time! I was almost at my wit’s end when I came across Suzanne Smith Designs on wedding wire. Her reviews were so wonderful that I literally crossed my fingers as I sent her an email hoping she had my date available. I could tell right away from Suzanne’s first email response that she was unlike the rest. She was completely in tune with what I wanted. I told her our price range and right away she promised she would be able to do something fresh, unique, and romantic in my colors. Absolutely no runaround. Upon meeting with Suzanne I was left with such a peace of mind that I was honestly almost in tears of happiness that the search was over. If she says she’ll do it — SHE WILL DO IT and do the most amazing job you’ve ever seen. So warm and fun-​loving, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Even my husband loved her! She provided the WOW we were looking for while staying completely on budget. Everyone was super impressed with the gorgeous floral designs she came up with. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and family!
