French Buckets is one of the best floral resources in Orange County in my opinion. I've worked with Sussanna and team several times over the last two years in a work capacity. They have been nothing but wonderful/professional and delivered exactly what I asked for. I always have very specific requests and Sussanna knows how to deliver! Would highly recommend for any floral needs! ALSO I can't tell you how many compliments we got on the flowers! read more

TL;DR if you want a beautiful, fresh, unique, and elegant arrangement, and don't want to spend hundreds on something that looks like it came from Vons, COME TO FRENCH BUCKETS! French Buckets will be my go-to florist in the OC area from now on. I'll start off by saying I have REALLY high expectations for ordering flowers. I dabble in floral arrangements myself and I know good flowers. I can't stand ordering from a florist and getting a standard bouquet with red/pink roses you could buy at any supermarket. In addition, a good friend of mine is a florist in the LA area and she was always my go-to because her arrangements were gorgeous, distinctive, and looked like a work of art. I never thought I would find a comparable (dare I say, better?) florist in OC, until I ordered from French Buckets. I purchased a STUNNING arrangement for my mom's birthday from French Buckets a few days after Christmas (photos below). I could not have been happier with it. 3 days later and the arrangement still incredibly fresh, even the hydrangeas, which are known to wilt quickly. Thank you French Buckets! People contemplating ordering flowers in the OC area...don't hesitate to order from French Buckets! It's a little pricey but compared to other florists in the area where you get a standard bouquet for close to the same price, this place is above and beyond standard. My mom's birthday is just a few days after Christmas so I called a few places in the area to make sure I wasn't going to get Christmas leftover flowers. Specifically, I was looking for garden roses and a one-of-a-kind arrangement. The few places I called before trying French Buckets told me they didn't have garden roses due to it being right after a major holiday and their decision to not stock as many flowers in their shop. This obviously made me nervous because I felt I was going to get old, leftover Christmas flowers for upwards of $150. Then I called French Buckets and to my surprise the woman I spoke to (I believe she's the owner) didn't seem to be the least bit phased by my requests for garden roses and a unique, full, arrangement. She was also willing to spend time on the phone with me to describe the flowers she had in stock and make sure I would be happy with the arrangement. This is the kind of service I expect when you are spending $200 on an arrangement. French Buckets met and exceeded my expectations. French Buckets came through with some of the most unique rose colors I've seen (along with every other varietal in the arrangement). Every stem in this arrangement was special, fresh, and timeless. The arrangement is classic, elegant and the flower placement was on point - I was in awe when it arrived! Simply put, French Buckets is a floral art. The owner is clearly an ARTIST and it shows in the arrangements. Plus they delivered the same day I ordered. 100% worth any extra cost compared to other florists in the area. read more

We were referred over to French Buckets since the company that we typically use was unable to do the flowers for our baby shower. First off the communication in the beginning was painful. We called multiple times and finally were able to order our flowers. We sent several pictures for inspiration on the style and vibe we were going for. We discussed adding greenery/pine since the date of the baby shower was two weeks after the new year. A few weeks prior we emailed and said we decided against any sort of pine and the owner acknowledged and said there would be no pine in the arrangements. The day of the baby shower when the flowers were left on our door step without the driver even speaking to us or placing the arrangements where they were supposed to go.. 50% of the arrangement was pine with a few flowers. We were very unimpressed with the simplicity of the arrangements especially after spending close to $900 . We let the owner know and she apologized and sent us a nice flower arrangement. The thought was nice but honestly would have preferred a partial refund not more flowers considering we had so many arrangements at our house already. All in all not impressed and very dissatisfied with this company. read more

I've used FB flowers twice now and I've never been more impressed and please with a florist as I am with them. We just moved to the area and no matter where I've lived, I always try to find my go to florist for sending creations that best represent my love and appreciation for others. It is not easy to find someone who is so easy to work with and who gives you top quality and the quantity for the amount you pay. I've been burned so many times by different florists who take my money but who do not deliver on product. Well, this florist is definitely NOT one of those sub par businesses! They give you quality and quantity that is well worth the price!! FB has gone above and beyond to make sure I'm happy with the arrangements before they go out. I will use them again and again and I highly recommend them for any occasion you might have for sending or using flowers! Their talent and artistry is top notch! read more

French Buckets created an amazing arrangement for my wife. She loves them! I will definitely order from them again. Their team is super nice and the arrangement was beyond my expectations. read more

This is the most special way to pick up a bouquet and you set and you can set your own budget so no expensive surprises! This pop up location on Lido for French Buckets, (there is a storefront in Laguna Beach) This location is unassuming, special and ever so welcoming so close to benches and tables where you can sit and look out on the water view too! The blooms are fresh from the morning and every day there is something new and different. If you can get there before they run out, you are going to be in for a real treat! You simply ask the person at this Lido location to make a bouquet for you.. provide your budget from $5 all the way to extravagant, and point out a few of the flowers you like, provide color choices and the occasion...a personally curated and designed bouquet is hand made for you on the spot with such artistry unmatched at any other flower bouquet place. I bought a tiny hand made ceramic piece and on a whim, asked if it could be used as part of an arrangement. The tiny flowers the merchant chose mixed with petite greens made the most beautiful spot of joy on my office desk for over a week! Anything you want, you can get here. So special! read more

I was in charge of flowers for a very special memorial service from a lot of my former colleagues. I wanted them to be very special. Not living in the area (anymore), I found French Buckets on Yelp and was very happy with Susanna's great service! Susanna listened to what we needed and made sure to make our arrangement extra special. She also delivered the flowers herself the morning of the service, which was impressive! The arrangement had many types of flowers and was unique in that it was not your "everyday" type - "you see one, you've seen them all" arrangement. This one had personality and was colorful and asymmetrical (in a good way). We asked for a small card with a message that stuck out and we got it. Susanna was wonderful to wok with. I'd definitely use French Buckets again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the area. read more

I live in Maryland and needed to send my dad in Newport Beach some flowers for his 79th birthday. A random Google search helped me find the French Buckets website. I called and the phone was answered promptly and I placed my order in under 5 minutes. My dad doesn't have any strong opinions about flowers so I just asked that the arrangement be "nice." WOW! What he got is STUNNING!!! Truly one of the most gorgeous and original arrangements I have ever seen. There was a slight problem with the delivery, but it was remedied with a phone call and a refund of the delivery charge, and the flowers are so lovely that it almost didn't even matter. read more

Excellent. Asked for something super unique and French Buckets delivered. Very innovative artists at this shop - let them run wild with their artistry. read more

This Valentine was a big disappointment for me. I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my husband for Valentine's day before 10 am. When I called them at 1 pm to check order status, They then said that my husband will receive before 4 PM however, it was delivered near 6 pm, which was the time that he would get off work. Moreover, I put down a message on the card they had provided, but when it was delivered to my husband that message was nowhere to be found. Also, the flowers did not look remotely like it does on the picture. It's definitely not worth the money. read more

Wow. I just love it when a floral phone order turns out exactly as you envisioned. That's exactly what happened!! Since I attended the event, I got to see first hand that they nailed it in every way. The gorgeous white fully opened roses were stunning and the addition of a few white dahlias (with buds) added another texture. The filler flower (I think some sort of white statice) rosemary branches and textural branches made it artsy and modern. Perfect!! read more

The customer service of this florist is top-notch. The arrangements are gorgeous and super unique. Sussanna and team are the best!

I think Sussanna is the best florist ever! Look no further. She is so creative and talented . Honestly she can do any look and just gets it. Sussanna is a artist so she understands color, style and design. My son is getting married next month and she is the florist the bride choose. Sussanna did both my daughters weddings. So imagine 3 weddings with the same florist! That should be the best testimonial to her talent. I can't wait to see what the finished creation will be! Sussanna makes the process a pleasure and is so agreeable. I just love her and you will too! read more

I'm one of those people who tries to stay away from stress in the last few months by doing EVERYTHING as soon as possible. When we booked our venue, they gave us a list of preferred vendors to help us find people who were familiar with the venue. After finding French Buckets on the preferred vendor list and seeing the 5-star reviews, I called and left a voicemail in June, then sent them an email a week later requesting some more information. I figured they were busy with all the summer weddings, so a follow-up email should suffice. They never got back to me. Not to my voicemail, not to my email. I'm sure they do a beautiful job, but too bad I'll never get to experience that. read more

Sussanna is the BEST! My husband and I got married this past October and Sussanna literally made our flower dreams come true. She listened to exactly what we wanted and made it happen within budget. Our wedding was a dream and Sussanna helped make it exactly what we wanted. read more

French Buckets - A beautiful floral hand wrap by French Buckets. I love these hand wraps -- so unique! - Florists Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I needed some flowers delivered to a company I'm looking to network with to impress and connect with them. First I hired someone else and it was terrible. Couldn't have been further from my vision. I was worried that all florists were like this, but after a recommendation from a friend I tried French Buckets. Sussanna made my jaw drop! It's the most beautiful arrangement I've ever seen, and couldn't have been more exactly what I was going for. Glad to know that there are some amazing florists out there! read more

French Buckets provided flowers for a church memorial service and reception I recently hosted. I had the pleasure of working with a real professional, Sussanna Davidson. Sussanna took the time to discuss what type of arrangements I wanted for both the church and for the reception. She even emailed me pictures of different flowers and containers. The flowers at the church alter were elegant and serene just as I had wanted them to be. The floral centerpieces at each of the ten tables at the reception, along with the centerpiece at the memorial table were exquisite. My guests were all very impressed and complimentary of how beautiful the room looked and smelled. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend French Buckets to you in every way possible. I hope to do more business with this fine establishment in the very near future. "Thank you Sussanna and French Buckets"! read more

Wonderful Experience! I planned a surprise flower crown workshop for my sister's bachelorette and have to say it was every girls hi-light of the weekend. I had a great experience working with Sussanna, who was very easy to communicate with prior to the day. She brought the most lovely flowers and easily explained and demonstrated how to make the prettiest flower crowns. Even girls who aren't the craftiest easily caught on and loved the entire experience. We look forward to working together in the future! read more

Over the years I've purchased many floral arrangements for Mother's Day, Valentines Day, Easter, birthdays and a variety of functions with more or less the same look. At French Buckets that changed. From the first order I placed I noticed a difference. There were flowers and greens in arrangements I had never seen before. Flowers are always beautiful but French Bucket's style and design always made people look twice. Even the simplest bouquets look expensive. UPDATE: As usual, French Buckets makes selecting Valentine's Day flowers a pleasure. Thanks. read more

The best florist I have ever used!!! She is quick, creative and reasonably priced. She made my daughter in laws baby shower centerpieces as well as flower arrangements for my clients both were exquisite. read more

Susanna, at French Buckets, handled all of the flowers at our daughter's wedding and she did a beautiful job! If you're looking for a florist to take care of a special event call French Bucket.

I wrote an email but French Buckets owner Sussanna never replied. I then decided to call and was able to get an appointment set. I sat down, with my fiance, excited to get to meet Sussanna. Actually, she was very kind and seemed like she would make an excellent floral artist for our wedding! Seeing pictures of her work made me think so as well (I'm sure she would deliver in that sense). The meeting was fun; she was very respectful and even funny. However, I left without a solid vision of what types of floral arrangements could be done at my wedding with my proposed but flexible budget. To top it off, Sussanna she'd get a quote to me but never did. Had me really bummed. I e-mailed her as well to remind her. It's been a while and no response. This being the case, I'm a little worried to contact her again because I don't want a timeliness mishap to transpire on my big day, so I've decided to go with another florist. Darn! I was really looking forward to working with her because she really seems like an awesome florist. Perhaps give it a go, but be willing to be patient. read more

I had a same-day flower delivery request for my parents anniversary and Sussanna/ French Buckets was amazing. They were incredibly accommodating given the time crunch, and sent a GORGEOUS massive arrangement to my parents house with minimum direction from me needed on design/etc. Will def be my next go-to for flower delivery in Orange County! read more

AMAZING! BEAUTIFUL! GORGEOUS! Yeah, those are some of the words I can think of when I hear French Buckets. Sussanna is so talented. She and her team did such an beautiful job on my wedding. She made my vision into a reality and I couldn't have been happier. I'm so happy Sussanna was there to make our day so beautiful and romantic looking. I highly recommend French Buckets for any event. Your vision truly becomes a reality...actually more than you could have asked for. Thank you so much Sussanna!!! You're the best! read more

My boyfriend called and spoke with the owner yesterday to order some flowers for our 1 year anniversary. He explained to her that I wanted pink and that's really all I like. This is very true about me. When the flowers were delivered I was of course happy because there was a delivery for me! I asked my BF why he would send me orange flowers knowing I detest orange, coral, peach etc. he then told me how much time he spent on the phone explaining what I wanted. He said the owner Insisted I would love the arrangement and it's close to pink. It's nothing at all like pink! It's coral and orange. I'm super bummed out for both of us. He tried really hard to get me something special I would love. I know these were ridiculously expensive. I wish she had listened and made an arrangement with colors he asked for. I need to add another thing here. Nobody answers phones, messages or emails at this place. Now do you run a business? And after 3 days the flowers are all wiled and dying. Do not water your money or time on this place! She had a chance to return our calls and make this right and she has just ignored us. This Is bad business. read more

In February 2011 I was having a birthday party and completely overlooked the flowers. My favorites are solid dark purple carnations which are hard to find in most flower shops. I called around talked to Susanna and over the phone designed an arrangement that turned out to be perfect. She even went out of her way to deliver it on short notice so that I could take it with me. read more

I used French Buckets for my wedding on 8/5/11 and I Absolutely Loved My Flowers! I was referred to Sussanna of French Buckets by my wedding planner. I was wanting a colorful Mexican style wedding in San Juan Capistrano. During my first meeting with Sussanna I was over joyed with happiness, she described and knew exactly the look I wanted. Sussanna is so creative and has so many good ideas. She worked so well with my venue, wedding planner, and cake baker. During our first mock up I loved the centerpiece example she brought but with the way the tablecloths turned out it started to look fall like for a summer wedding. Sussanna tweaked a few things worked with the new color palate after changing up the table linens and adding our own lace runners to give more texture. I was so amazed at how well the tables turned out during the wedding! The centerpieces were beautiful. My Bouquet is the most beautiful collection of flowers and botanicals I have ever seen - and it was all mine for one night, a beautiful trophy for a bride to carry - I didn't want to put it down. Most of all Sussanna was so nice and patient with a sometimes difficult but means well family member who also brought in some flowers and decor to the wedding. Everything ended up mixing really well together and can't thank her enough for incorporating all the little details to make it such a beautiful event. read more
