Long overdue but very well deserved! Susan did an absolutely phenomenal job styling our wedding florals. We got married in a remote location with a summer camp theme and during our wedding weekend we experienced the adventures of last minute rains. Weeee! We moved our reception indoors but Susan worked her magic transforming the atmosphere with gorgeous garlands and table settings. Everything was more than I could have ever imagined! Working in the event industry I am a huge proponent of creative freedom. I initially told her what I loved but very much gave her the leeway to style and go with her creative expertise. Although I had specifics I liked, we were marrying early in the season so I allowed her to choose florals that were seasonally strong and let her GO! I am so thankful I did because the bouquets were stunning and the table settings were lush, vibrant, perfectly textured, and very interesting. Everything certainly felt like I wanted to stop and take a second look! Thank you thank you THANK YOU to Susan for handling everything. I didn't have to spend a second thinking about florals. I just enjoyed myself, even with all the rain... seriously! I knew I had professional vendors who could make it work, and make it work perfectly despite the challenges. I didn't hold onto this exact "vision" I needed to recreate. I allowed myself to enjoy the day and be astonished at the surprises that unveiled themselves at my wedding all thanks to my wonderful vendors like Susan.

Susan did the most incredible job on the flowers at my wedding last week up in Pinecrest, CA. Her work on the arch and surrounding stage was truly stunning --- and perfectly blended with the crane installation I had made. She found some of the most unique and striking flowers I have ever seen, all within the color palette I requested. It took my breath away to see it all come together. She also made my disco nature dreams come true with her decorations of the cables and disco balls in the tent. Susan is creative and tasteful. I had so much fun working with her and discussing different ideas over the phone. I couldn't recommend her more.

We just had our wedding this past weekend and Susan did such a beautiful job on my bouquet and arch arrangements! Thank you Susan!

The BEST!! Thank you Susan for making my daughters wedding day spectacular!! Susan wanted this day to be perfect and it was!! Due to Covid, Kim and Justin decided to have a small ceremony with just immediate family. They had planned a beautiful wedding in November, all that changed. Their small ceremony was planned under 3 weeks and it all turned out perfect because of amazing vendors like Susan! My first choice is always Sweet Lilacs!

Susan is the best!! She was a delight to work with and the flowers were better than I could have imagined for my wedding. All I had to do was send a couple photos I found from Pinterest, discuss a bit about my style and Susan fully understood. I'm obsessed with flowers so this detail was a very big deal to me. Susan blew me away! She also did the flowers for my hair which were absolutely perfect. If you can book her for your wedding you will be in luck. She's the best. Just check out these pictures!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Sweet Lilac as our florist for our wedding on June 1st at Venticello. The owner Susan is so creative in her designs. She has an eye for detail. I showed her pictures of what I envisioned and she replicated the bouquets and table arrangements perfectly. She also put together the most gorgeous circular archway for our ceremony which was stunning. We received so many compliments on the succulents and greenery that covered this large venue. Susan and her staff are wonderful to work with. Coming from the Bay Area, Susan has extensive experience with high end weddings but is able to provide an affordable rate to her clients. We could not have picked a professional, caring florist for our special day. Sweet lilac, thank you for everything!

Susan did a fabulous job with the flowers for our wedding. We decided to add an arch with flowers for our ceremony since we were having it indoors and I'm so glad we did! I sent Susan some pictures of what I liked and told her our colors (shades of purple), and she ran with it. I was especially excited to see so many beautiful hydrangeas! We got so many complements on the flowers, especially the ceremony arch. We would definitely recommend Susan and Sweet Lilacs!

There truly aren't enough great things I can say about Susan and her team! I'm not the bride that dreamt of her wedding day so when the time came to spend money in flowers I wasn't too happy about it. However, I contacted Susan and said "these are our colors this is my theme-you are the expert. If there is something you've been dying to do again or ever try..our wedding is the one" there's something about giving someone with artistic abilities the ability to let themselves open up and have free reign. We can not express exactly how perfectly her ceremony space, center pieces, and sweetheart table decor tied in so perfectly with our theme. You MUST book sweet lilacs to do your floral for your wedding. Hands down. Thank you Susan for so gracefully tying together all the loose strings and completing our wedding look! It was. Breath taking!

Susan at Sweet Lilacs was our florist for our wedding at the Black Bear Inn in Arnold on 10/21/17. The centerpieces and bouquet were gorgeous! Susan was great to work with. I highly recommend her!

It was absolutely amazing to have Susan to be our professional wedding florist. Susan is truly an artist, and she is not afraid of high challenging work. Susan knows how to make any environment feeling natural with her highly skilled flower arrangement techniques, and she have an eye for detail and that make everything spot-on perfect. We couldn't ask for more from Susan, and we've only met her from our wedding but we become friends. Susan inspires people around her with her talent and her beautiful personality! On our wedding day, we had the most beautiful cheery blossom for our reception and ceremony. The weather was unstable so we were a bit worried about if the flower would be able to bloom on our wedding day. Susan helped us achieve this dream and she especially ordered cherry blossoms from Oregon and ships it to California in order to have the flower blooming exactly on our wedding day. All we had to do was looking for images references and letting her know what we would prefer to have. For my wedding bouquet, it was hard for me to find a reference images and I wasn't sure if the bouquet matches my height ( I am a short bride 5'-2", and I prefer bouquet that can make me look taller when taking photos). Susan helped us put everything from imagination to reality -- and the result was absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't stop holding my bouquet on my wedding day, they were so beautiful, and all the guests were complimenting the flowers at our wedding place. One thing I appreciate most from Susan is her interest in sculpture artwork influences to her flower arrangement skill ( Susan does sculpture work as her hobby and you can see how it applies to her flower arrangement -- the flowers looks equally beautiful on every angle). There were also time we really just don't know what we want. All we could do was to rely on Susan to make it beautiful, and she did! All the details that I care and I didn't have enough chance to mentioning to her ( it was super busy prior to our wedding day), Susan checks everything and make great solution for it. One example was one of the wedding sign was broken and one side of the gold frame was gone. Since it was on an easel, Susan uses flowers to cover it up and it looked so beautiful!) We wanted to thank Susan for she has done her best efforts for our wedding, and I won't have any hesitation to recommend Susan and Sweetlilacstudio to anyone who wants to have a happy beautiful wedding! Thank you Susan!!!

I had sweet lilacs do the flowers for my wedding September 23rd, 2017 and they were so stunning. My bouquet and centerpieces blew my mind with how beautiful they looked. They were so helpful win working with my budget and created my perfect vision for my wedding day. Susan was incredible throughout the whole process.

Hello happily engaged couple, We understand where you are…read moreright now in the process. You're excited about the engagement, and the thought of your upcoming wedding. Congratulations. We also know however, that the more you Google looking for answers, the more questions you have! Even if you have a venue, you now need to worry about seating charts, timelines, hairstylists, weather, forest fires, COVID, cleanup- oh my! "Do I even need a wedding planner?" may even be a question that you are pondering- and that is ok! The good news is, this review that you are reading is the review you need. As partners, we were asking ourselves these same questions. In hindsight, we would have been stupid to not hire Terri/Events Extraordinaire. Should you simply care about the bottom line, then skip the rest of this review and just hire her already! If you are interested to know why, please see below. Although one of us was skeptical in the value of a wedding planner, I can assure you that Terri's actions and efforts were invaluable in making our day perfect. From the very first meeting, we were relieved at the methodic approach Terri takes to wedding planning. Your first meetings are simply getting to know each other and learning what the couple wants to achieve with the wedding. Terri fairly listened to both of our ideas and provided unbiased feedback and guidance. These little nudges compounded to big decisions which encouraged us along the wedding planning process. Speaking of the process, Terri has one. She has timelines, 'day of' agenda's, and planning deadlines that keep not only the couple, but also your vendors on track! Although you may expect the planning process to go smoothly, just as we had, of course life happens. We had a serious issues with one of our main vendors (That we found before working with Terri) the month before the wedding. We promptly referenced Terri's pre-supplied vendor list and found someone who was more budget friendly, that produced fantastic results. Then, just one week before the wedding, the HMUA dropped out (crazy we know!). Terri picked up her personal cell phone that same day, to step in, and spent the evening with us hunting down alternates. To us, Terri felt like another family member with all of the right tools in her tool box to help us navigate the complex nuances of wedding planning. On the day of the wedding, we hardly noticed Terri- and I mean that in a good way! Seamlessly behind the scenes, our wedding day and timeline panned out about as perfect as it could be. This letter is a testament to her process, value, and care in wedding planning. We were thankful to have found Terri and now look forward to connecting with her any time we are in the foothills! -Adam & Samantha Klick

I never really understood what a planner would do, but trust me when I say that I would've been completely lost without her! Terri thought of things for our special day that I never would've realized I needed until it was too late. I knew from the very first meeting that she was going to be my calming force for a very stressful day and I was so right! Her value is unmeasurable!! Thank you Terri and team!!

Once we eventually got our photos back we could see just how badly she had done. She used fake flowers when we paid for real, used the literal cheapest decor everywhere possible. We were sold a dream and were left with unlit tacky candles, plastic walls, exposed sand bags and BARE minimum decor. Practically everything she did for us was CHEAP and TACKY. She lied to us about having "a team" when it was just her husband and son that evening. When we reached out for a refund she agreed (clearly she knew she didn't do a good job) but when it was time to pay us she ghosted us for a year despite multiple efforts. Stay far away!!!

My problem was I had no idea if I'd have 30 or 100 guests and I just moved here and had zero connections and a few bad experiences with local companies not calling back. Not long after I handed the planning over to someone who lived 3 hrs away and hoped everything would fall into place. When I went to her showroom months later to pay Genice spent time showing me all the treasures she had to throw parties from vintage crystal luncheon trays to mismatched silverware. I could tell she was someone that truly loved helping others figure out what they like and then gets joy out of helping them make their dreams come true. The night of my birthday party Genice and her team were hired to help serve and clean up. But Genice went beyond this... Several times she was seen scooping someone up by the arm and leading them to the dance floor. She wanted to make sure everyone was having fun. She helped me be a better host which was so unexpected. She has a contagious smile and a warm personality. She has chosen the right business and I wish her all the success in the world. I would definitely give Genice a call or text if you're planning a party of any size and prepare to be impressed!!

We hired Ramona as our wedding coordinator, and while things seemed fine leading up to the big day,…read morewe started to notice some passive-aggressive behavior as the wedding got closer. Unfortunately, on the actual wedding day, my family had to step in and handle several things that were supposed to be managed by the coordinator and her team. There were quite a few promises made during the planning process that simply weren't kept, and it added unnecessary stress to what should have been a smooth and enjoyable day. While some parts of her work were okay, the lack of follow-through and professionalism on the day itself was really disappointing. I wouldn't recommend based on our experience

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Ramona. We…read morehad absolutely no clue what we were doing when we started planning our wedding; we didn't even have a clear vision for the day. But from the moment we began working with her, everything fell into place. She took the time to get to know us, helped craft a beautiful vision for our wedding, and guided us through the entire process with so much patience and expertise. Even though Ramona was technically our "day of" coordinator, she was with us every step of the way. Her responsiveness was incredible - every time we had a question (and there were plenty!), she was quick to reply with the perfect solution. She was calm, confident, and took care of everything, making even the most complicated parts of planning seem easy. On the wedding day, nothing went wrong - seriously, not one thing. Ramona had everything under control, handling every detail flawlessly. We didn't have to stress about a single thing, which allowed us to have the most perfect day. We are forever grateful for how she made our wedding so seamless and enjoyable. Honestly, Ramona is a total bada**! If you want a coordinator who is not only incredibly organized and responsive but also brings a level of calm, confidence, and total control to your day, look no further. We can't recommend Ramona enough; she helped make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more! Thank you a million and one times, Ramona!

Pre Booking: When we initially chatted, Melissa made me feel super comfortable and she cultivated trust. I had no hesitations and we went ahead and booked her. What stood out was her commitment to her clients and how much she cares about her work. Leading Up to the Wedding: We did a final venue tour about a month out where we went over questions and site details with the venue coordinator. It went really well and Melissa guided us in thinking through final decisions based on her expertise, but did an incredible job at prioritizing our needs and vision. I put together all of our contracts, tablescapes, and details of who would be bringing what to the wedding in a folder for her so there wouldn't be any surprises for her. Day Of Wedding On the day of our wedding, Melissa took care of all of the details which included overseeing set up of both the ceremony and reception areas at our venue, being the contact person for our vendors, and ensuring we stayed on schedule with our photographer and for the wedding. When I arrived to the venue, she asked a few questions to confirm details and then sent me off to finish getting ready. I ended up doing significantly less work than I thought day of thanks to her! She was so incredible to work with and she ensured that we could enjoy our wedding day together and not have to worry about little details. As an event planner myself, I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking at ways to ease stress and enjoy their wedding day! Having Melissa as your Day of Coordinator is worth the investment.
