Floral Occasions

Stacey of Floral Occasions was not only one of the sweetest people I've met, but the most talented and creative as well. I definitely consider myself as someone who 'knows what she wants' and Stacey brought the vision I had for my wedding to life better than I could have ever imagined!

When I was planning for my wedding one of the items that was very important to me were flowers. I wanted to make sure the people I chose were going to provide me with breath taking flowers and that is what Stacey and her Floral Occasions team did. Flowers make weddings so much more beautiful and personal to each couple. Stacey will work with your ideas and splash in some great tips because she aims to make your wedding day look fabulous and of course make the bride happy. Above all she is very professional and talented in what she does. You will not be disappointed with Floral Occasions, I guarantee!

My flowers were absolutely amazing. I showed stacey pictures from magazines that i wanted the flowers just like it, and she really did do the flowers just like i asked she was so amazing and all of my flowers made my day that more beautiful. I would recommend her to anyone who wants there flowers absolutely perfect.:)Jessie Biernacki Nov 20th 2010

The work of Stacey and Floral Occasions exceeded ALL of our expectations for our wedding. The whole thing looked like is was torn out of a magazine but still completely unique and true to us. There were so many unexpected touches that Stacey put together that helped to pulled all of our weeding plans together. They highlighted our cake, the venue and bridal party. The flowers were simple, organic, fun and breathtaking. It has been a few months since the wedding and we are STILL recieving TONS compliments on the flowers. Choosing Floral Occasions to do our flowers was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding!!

Stacey made things so easy. Her flowers were reasonably priced and she was very easy going with the changes I needed to make when we ran over our budget. I'm not a big flower person, so I talked with her more in colors than in types of flowers, so I wasn't really sure what I was going to get. On the day of the wedding when she showed up, everyone was just in awe of the beautiful burgundy bouquets the bridesmaids carried. They were exactly what I wanted! She also made a beautiful bouquet with a charm that was meant to honor my Mother who had passed. I provided her with the lanterns we were using during the ceremony and as centerpieces and she designed a flower arrangement that perfectly complimented the style of the wedding and other flowers.

Stacey was very nice and professional to work with. She was availale for last minute minor additions and/or changes. My bouquets turned out perfect but my centerpieces were a bit wimpy for the cost and the scale of the container that they were in. In addition, this purplish color flower snuck into my arch flowers and the centerpieces which didn't really match my navy scheme. No one noticed but me but I was still disappointed because I had given her photos of exactly what I wanted and, although the flowers turned out lovely, they were not what I asked for. I wish I had paid the extra money to have a sample made of the centerpieces so I could have squashed the purple before the big day.

THANK YOU so much for making my day all I ever dreamed of! Your flowers were so out of this world beautiful, people couldn't stop talking about it!Everything was so enchanting, elegant and organic. I was amazed at how well you could visualize my perfect setting. Its worth bragging about! And the kids table! AMAZING!Thank you so soooooo much! It was a dream come true!Love,Elyse

Stacey was wonderful - really friendly and I love that her business consultations were right at her home, in her back office. She really helped me design my arrangments and pick flowers according to my color scheme and personality, as I had NO CLUE what I wanted. The bouquets and centerpieces were gorgeous; when I needed to make slight changes in numbers of boutennieres and corsages do to guest changes, she willingly swapped them for an arrangment for the guest book table. Stacey was accessible via email, and just makes beautiful art with flowers. Our chuppah looked amazing; Stacey asked questions to get the look I was going for and executed it perfectly. I got many compliments and it looks phenominal in our family photos. She fit everything I wanted into our somewhat limited budget for flowers, but you would never know it based on how beautiful everything was. My only critique would be that her assistant delivered the corsages and boutennieres to our bridal/groom suites but never came back to assist getting them on our bridal party/family members. I almost forgot to have them put on entirely.

Absolutely incredible! Stacey and the girls at Floral Occasions did such an amazing job! I was so happy with all of the decorations and will be forever grateful for such a beautiful display of flowers. Stacey worked with me on every aspect from the cost to the design. I changed my mind a million times and she was so flexible with every request. I had pictured things to be a certain way and Floral Occasions did just that and so much more! They went above and beyond...I cannot thank them enough for making my wedding so gorgeous!

Stacey at Floral Occasions did an outstanding job providing flowers, bouquets and floral decorations at our daughter's wedding last week. She has a special talent for listening and coming up with suggestions -- especially for a bride who isn't certain but has some unusual ideas. Her knowledge of flowers and creativity resulted in the most beautiful and perfect arrangements. She was very professional and prompt and everyone commented on how beautiful the floral arrangements were. Thank you Stacey!

The only word I can use to describe Stacey's work is breathtaking. She hands-down made my wedding more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. In addition, she was incredibly easy (and fun) to work with and required no direction whatsoever. We met once to talk about things I liked and didn't like, and Stacey took care of everything from there. Her attention to detail and creative eye are unparalleled, and I can't say enough good things about her. In fact, my wedding was recently featured on Style Me Pretty, and Stacey's flowers were described as "holy-cow-gorgeous flowers". I truly couldn't have said it any better. :)

I cannot rave enough about Stacey and her team at Floral Occassions. Having them as part of my wedding was the greatest decision I made. When I initially went to Floral Occassions, I had no idea what kind of flowers I wanted, I just knew what kind of feel and look I wanted at the wedding. Stacey hit the nail on the head!!! It was better than I could have ever imagined! I had endless compliments on the flowers. People were walking around the tables, looking at the centerpieces like they were works of art - and they really were!! Stacey was so easy to work with, and an all around awesome person. I feel SO lucky to have had her as part of my day. =)

Stacey…can I please just say Thank you one more time for your outpouring of love and beauty at our daughter’s wedding. It’s the 28th and we are STILL getting oohs and aaahs over the lovely flowers at the wedding…not to mention, they are still somewhat living (smile) in my home!!Many times we heard…”your florist really outdid herself”…and we couldn’t agree more…exquisite…just like the designer…Thanks again for your generosity toward our family…there is no way people of our standards could have ever afforded someone of your experience without your kindness toward us and we wanted you to know how grateful we are…Thank you Stacey,Janna & Family

Floral Occasions is the most fabulous thing that happened to my wedding!!! Three weeks before the wedding the wilderness park told us that we couldn't have flowers because they could be invasive species... Well we negotiated to have all native species, and I thought Stacey would totally freak out. She took the news like a champ, and created the most beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres that I could have imagined! The décor and setting was enhanced immensely by her talent. Thank you Stacey for your talent, composure and class, we could not have done it without you!xoxo-Rachel Adams

Stacey was my favorite vendor and one of my favorite people period. She has an amazing talent of bringing out the most beauty in each individual flower.
I want to thank you for making our wedding as gorgeous as it could have ever been! We had so many compliments about our florals after the wedding. You will get every referral I can ever give, and all my future business!

Hey Stacey,

I am so sorry it took me a year and a half to give you these
pictures!! Things never slowed down after the wedding and after
looking over 5000 pictures, I finally narrowed my favorite 500.

There has always been a tiny voice reminding me to send you the
pictures, so finally, here you go. Sorry there are so many but I
figured, it would help tell future brides what an amazing florist you
are!!

I love, loved, and love my bouquet! I love all my arrangements. I was
never a flower person until the wedding. and my bouquet was perfect.
My groom and I was the only orange you saw at the Franciscan Gardens
and It made all the difference.

Its been a year and a half but thank you so much. From beginning to
end, you were a big part of making my wedding my dream wedding come
true!!

my number is (please inquire) if you want to use me as a reference.

I have more if you need more. Email me if there is anything more I can
do for you. Let me know how these pictures turned out.

Thanks again,

grace

To Whom It May Concern:

I’d like to take this opportunity to share my working experience with Stacey Fitts of Floral Occasions in San Juan Capistrano with you.

Over the past four and a half years I have managed two local wedding venues in San Juan Capistrano, and overseen over 100 weddings. Stacey and I met when she became a preferred vendor at both locations.

Brides enjoy working with Stacey because she’s friendly, approachable, easy to work with and she listens. I enjoy working with Stacey because of her attention to detail, dependability and follow through. I never have to worry how the wedding florals will turn out if Stacey and her staff are responsible for them as she’s always performed above expectations, and always with a friendly smile on her face. As I went independent last year with my own company, OC Party Places & Reception Sites, Stacey is always at the top of my list of florists to recommend to my brides.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Lorrie de Bellis

Hi Stacey,

First of all, thank you thank you thank you for making my wedding so beautiful with your magic touch and all those gorgeous flowers!!! My bouquet was perfect. I wish I could have had more of a chance to talk with you. Everything was just so perfect. I heard so many compliments about the flowers all week long. The lilies were so fragrant. I can't even find the right words to say about the flowers. They were my favorite part and I feel like they were the finishing touch that just made the whole wedding. It makes me sad that they don't last forever! Thank you again for making my wedding so beautiful!! I am so pleased with how everything turned out, Thank you!

Sincerely,
Chris and Tawnya Keeley

Hi Stacey!
Nolan and I just returned from our honeymoon last week, and now that things are settling down I wanted to send you a HUGE Thank YOU for the beautiful flowers you arranged for our wedding!! They were absolutely gorgeous! EVERYTHING from the bouquets, to the centerpieces, to the accents on the cake were completely PERFECT! You did an amazing job! Thank you sooo very much!!!

I have to say that I especially loved my bouquet. The pink and green accents...It was so beautiful! I received so many compliments on it (and on the bridesmaids, too). I loved it SO much and I am so glad that the photographer took a bunch of pictures of it. Speaking of, the photographers haven't given me all the pictures yet, but when they do I'll forward the link to you so you can have a record of all the beautiful flowers! In the meantime, they created a slideshow of sneak pics from the day on their website. Check it out! Your flowers are all throughout it! (www.studio7photo.net, click on "Slideshow" and then on "Kari and Nolan" - I think we're the 3rd one down now.)

Stacey, thank you again for doing such an incredible job. You totally made the wedding day that much more beautiful. You were such a joy to work with and made the planning go so smoothly up to the big day.
I feel like I can't thank you enough!
I'll let you know as soon as I receive all the pics from the photographer...
You did a perfect job!

Take care,
Kari and Nolan

It's always so fun as a photographer to shoot the detail shots of the rings, invitations and flowers, before the wedding starts. The florals put together by Stacey for a wedding in San Juan Capistrano were absolutely amazing and worked so well with the venue we were at. The color combinations were perfect, it made my pictures turn out great.

Stacey, the owner of Floral Occasions is so creative! I've seen many of her wedding florals and they are, without exception, absolutely gorgeous and completely unique ... reflecting the personality of the couple as well as the vibe of the wedding. From traditional to funky and everything in between, Stacey has the talent and vision to make your wedding day dreams come true.
