Suzan M Florals

Sue's work is simply beyond compare. She is incredibly talented and has an amazing eye, and her knowledge of floral design and creative ideas are incredible.

I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by how beautiful the flowers looked at our wedding!! So many people complimented me, and it made the room and the ceremony site look elegant, timeless, amazing. It honestly took my breath away when I walked in the reception room.

Sue was not the least expensive florist, but I feel like the value was exceptional! It seemed like every last penny must have went to the flowers themselves, because there were so many, they were of such high quality and it was so beautiful. I could not have been more pleased.

I highly recommend Suzan M. Florist to every bride.

Sue's designs are exquisite. She was very nice and so easy to work with. She offered great suggestions and listened to what I wanted at the same time and came up with great and very creative flower arrangements that made our wedding and reception looked so gorgeous! I will definitely recommend anyone with floral needs to her without hesitation.

Sue did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding. I 100% recommend her. From our first conversation, she was very easy to work with and very friendly. You can tell that she loves what she does, and she does a great job!

My wedding was outdoors at a big private estate, so it was quite a task to make the space look full and beautiful with the flower budget that I had. I had a vision of what I wanted and communicated it to her, but she really made my vision come to life with her creative touch.

The center pieces were stunning, and the bouquets were my absolute favorite part of all of the decor. They were stunning and matched the bridesmaid dresses perfectly! My ceremony was down by a lake under a bunch of beautiful willow trees, and Sue turned that space into a whimsical, gorgeous setting. She decorated the tree we stood in front of with flowers, crystals, pom balls, and ribbons. It was stunning. If you are looking for someone to help create a unique, beautiful ceremony space for you, Sue is the best!

Sue is also very reasonable with her prices, and you will get a lot for your money. I interviewed most of the top florists in the city when I was searching for my florist, and by far, Sue was the best for the money. Many other florists were asking twice what Sue charged for a very similar result. Overall, she was excellent, and I very highly recommend her!

No kidding, Suzan is amazing. My daughter's wedding flowers far exceeded our expectations! The freshness, and color, and fullness just made the room and the photos come alive. I've been to so many weddings and couldn't tell you what the table flowers looked like. Months later, I'm still hearing from family members about these amazing flowers! Suzan gave great care to meet my daughter's vision, there were extra touches in how her bouquet and nosegays etc. were wrapped with coordinating ribbons, and she stayed on site until everything was perfect! And she made the planning process a breeze with brilliant suggestions and creative solutions to help us to save money!!!

Our San Diego wedding was absolutely beautiful thanks to Sue Merrill of Suzan M Florals.

My situation was unique for several reasons.
• We live in the Kansas City area but decided to have our wedding in San Diego when my son returned from deployment.
• My husband and I are “almost” senior citizens.
• And…. I didn’t know anyone except my son in San Diego.
So…. I started out with a clean slate. I researched different floral designers on the internet, and became more and more discouraged. They were all so expensive and their designs were really stuffy. Our wedding, being a destination wedding was small; so huge, elaborate, showy designs weren’t something we wanted.

I started assembling a team of wonderful artisans. And… Sue was suggested by our Wedding Officiator.
Wow!! I can’t say enough positive things about Sue. She is easy to talk to… can take an idea and “make it happen” and was reasonable. She even made an artificial copy of my bouquet for me to take home. Having to fly back to Kansas City I knew the flowers wouldn’t survive. I couldn’t believe she could create my every dream…. but she did that and MORE!

I highly recommend Suzan Merrill. She is a very talented person, easy to work with, reasonably priced, and made my “special day” beautiful. Thank you Sue.

Suzan is fantastic, if you go with her you won't be sorry. I was planning my San Diego wedding from New York so I couldn't do a consultation with Suzan in person, but she did a phone consultation with me which was just fine. She got a quote to me very quickly, much faster than other vendors I was working with. When the quote was a little high for me she helped me trim it down to something I could afford; I really appreciated her flexibility. On the wedding day the flowers were GORGEOUS. I had no idea what I wanted so I gave her a pretty vague description and some color swatches, and boy did she come through, everyone commented on how gorgeous the flowers were. One last thing, I had cut petals out of my order from her for the flower girls to sprinkle down the aisle, just as a way to cut cost. Sue had done a wedding the day before and brought the leftover petals with her for me! It was so thoguhtful of her, and saved me a last minute trip to Safeway to pick up some petals. Sue is wonderful, I really lucked out!

Sue was so great to work with...she offered great suggestions and listened to what I wanted at the same time. She was very nice, professional, and reasonably priced. Her work was beautiful. I absolutely loved my bouquet. I still haven't seen a picture of the swirls she made down the aisle with rose petals...I can't wait, I heard it was really neat looking. I would recommend Sue to any bride!

I was SO very lucky to have found Sue! She completely got my vision for florals for our wedding and worked with a limited budget. She gave us a lot of guidanace on what would work best, what was in season, etc and gave us some fantastic suggestions. The flowers honestly far exceeded my expectations and were so fresh and beautiful and we got a lot of comments on them. We could not have been more pleased with everything! I will recommend anyone with floral needs to her without hesitation.

Sue is Ah-Maz-Ing! Her flowers were so stunning at my wedding, the guests could not stop talking about how beautiful they were. She is a gem to work with and has an eye for design, color, and creativity. She took my exact vision and made it come to life! We had her do my rehearsal dinner flowers as well - it was all breathtaking! Thank you Sue!

Our flowers were AWESOME! I had them done by Suzan Merrill of SuzanMflorals.com. She was so easy to work with and came up with some great and very creative suggestions that made the ceremony spot look gorgeous! The arbor at Wiens Family Cellars was covered in curly willow and Sue wove red roses into it and hung a few roses and crystals from the top beam so they were sort of dripping down. My description is not doing it justice, but it was really really pretty. Our bouquets were the most beautiful red roses and mine had some white mini orchids in it. She did a great job making the ribbons wrapping my bouquet just the opposite of my bridesmaids' bouquets, and it really pulled everything together. My groom's boutonniere and all the moms' flowers were simple and pretty, and the sweetheart table was very elegantly put together. I had heard from our coordinator that Sue, unlike most other florists, stays and helps with or oversees all the set up on the day of your wedding, and pays meticulous attention to detail- and she was most definitely right! I just loved working with her because I knew I wouldn't have to worry about a thing! Sue and her assistant Jenny helped with the setup and even took down the arbor decorations after the ceremony and pictures, and reused a lot of the arrangements for the reception. I was in good hands having them stay and take care of so many of the details! I can't recommend her more!

My wedding flowers were absolutely breathtaking and beautiful and it's all because of Sue!! She did such an amazing job! My flowers were so unique and not like the typical flowers you see at weddings!! It has been 2 months and guests still are commenting on my flowers...even the men :) They lasted well past the wedding and served as great centerpieces at home too! I can't say enough great things!! Thanks, Sue!!

Let me tell you a little bit about my floral fiasco--UNTIL I WAS BLESSED TO GET IN TOUCH with Sue Merrill from Suzan M Florals.

My initial approach was to take the economical route and go through a local Wholesaler. It was an absolute nightmare to get them to provide me with a contract, and it was even more impossible have my phone calls returned. So, then I decided to utilize my Officiant to handle the ceremony, wedding set-up AND the flowers, out of convenience. She had prior commitments and was unable to make my bouquets for my wedding, so she referred me to Suzan M Florals. I was a little bit nervous to call because I was only looking for my bridal and bridesmaid bouquets and the guys' bouts and from dealing with prior florists, they are generally reluctant to take on "small" orders. When I first contacted Sue, I was suprised that she was incredibly friendly, professional, and down to earth. She encouraged me to share my vision and it was quite obvious that she knew what she was talking about. She was quick to put together an ACCURATE quote. Any time I had a question about flowers for my hair, changing my bouquet flowers, etc, she was quick to respond. I never had a problem reaching her via email or the phone. She promised to have my flowers delivered by a certain time on my wedding day, and she even gave me a courtesy call to see if it was okay if she came a little earlier. When she arrived, she made sure to review my order and that I was satisfied with her work...Even though our actual encounter was brief, she put my mind at ease along the way, that I knew there wouldn't be any issues on my BIG DAY. If you are looking for someone who is easy to reach, flexible, reasonable and open-minded, Suzan M Florals is definitely the florist for you! Thanks again, Sue :)

Suzanne was unbelievable! She was very personable and brought great ideas to the tables. She was able to use her professional expertise and my ideas and put them together into one beautiful wedding. I absolutely loved my flowers!!!!!

My husband and I fell in love with Sue's work from the beginning. She captured our visions beautifully and made our wedding day picture perfect. I highly recommend Sue Merrill to provide the florals for your wedding or event. We loved having her as our florist! Thanks Sue!

Sue was an incredible florist! She was so patient with me as we worked through all of the details and made all of my dreams come true! I was very particular about what I wanted and she brought it all to life and created the most exquisite floral arrangements; they were better than I ever could have imagined. She is truly talented and will give you more than you could ever expect. She is the best!

I could not have picked a better florist! My flowers were breathtaking! I used mostly orchids and roses in bright colors (hot pinks, orange, yellow, and touches of white.) All of my centerpieces were beautiful and Sue helped me create three different styles. She also created a beautiful ceremony arbor for my Suset Cliffs wedding location. The best part of Sue is that she is attentive to detail and goes above and beyond just floral to make everything perfect. She had many great ideas for my decor. She also took time with me and my Mom during meetings and made us feel like part of her family. I highly highly recommend Suzan M Florals!

Sue was WONDERFUL! I had to plan my wedding from Europe where I currently reside. Being so far away is already stressful, but Sue made it so easy! One meeting with her and she knew exactly what I had in mind and I let her run with it. I could not have asked for more! Not only was she great about working within my budget when others would not, but she went above and beyond for us. Her flowers and details made the wedding so gorgeous my family and friends are still talking about it! I would HIGHLY recommend Suzan M. Florals to any bride!

Sue went above and beyond to help make our wedding day spectacular! I would recommend her over and over again!

Sue was an absolute delight to work with & her designs are simply breath-taking. She took the time to meet with my husband and I regarding what we imagined our dream wedding to look like and then worked within our budget guidelines. We met several times before the wedding and kept in constant email contact. The level of detail she put into my wedding simply made the most beautiful backdrop for the most beautiful day--hands down. Also, she had great suggestions on details to tie the entire day together. I would ONLY recommend Sue as your bridal florist (& for planning), she can truly capture your wedding vision and make it a reality. Thank you SUE!

Suzan did a wonderful job at our wedding in San Diego, Coronado Bay on August 6, 2011. We recommend her to anyone who wants their flowers done at any event that requires the need for flowers!! Thanks Suzan and her associates.

We were sooo happy with our flowers! Sue is amazing! She is extremely nice and so helpful (especially since I don't know anything about flowers). She is very prompt when replying to emails. The flowers and colors she used were perfect for me! Her website gives you a good representation of the quality and style you will get. She is very flexible and will work with you to reduce costs. Our total came out to $2500 (incl. chuppah) for 140 guests. This was higher than I wanted to spend, but it was well worth it. When people see our album, they all comments on the stunning flowers. One thing to note is that she keeps the vases afterwards, so it's a little tricky to make sure nobody runs off with them at the end. I would suggest asking a family member to keep an eye on them. Anyway, I would highly recommend Sue to anybody getting married in San Diego.

she was absolutely great. She is a small business so you get personal attention and her flowers were beautiful. She was on time and took the time to pin all the boutineers on, used my personal ribbon to match the colors and was flexible with pricing.

They did a beautiful job with the flowers at our wedding. Not only were the arrangements and the arbor gorgeous, but she helped put together the tables when my wedding planner really underestimated the preparation time. She stayed until the wedding was ready to go even though her job was complete. All the bouquets and everything was of excellent quality..

Sue was fantastic to work with from start to finish. First of all, she really put the time in to understand my vision for the wedding and share her creative ideas for building on that vision. She was able to take my ideas to another level while respecting specific details which were important to me. When the big day arrived, the flowers were even more beautiful than I could have imagined! Working with Sue is a great value because with these flowers you hardly need any other decorations! My guests are still raving about how beautiful they were.

The centerpieces, bridal party and bridal bouquets, boutonnières, chair markers, and arch flowers were stunning. I was impressed with her work and her willingness to work with my budget. I told her what I was offered by Wholesale Flowers and she gave me a better deal, with better quality flowers. She is very experienced and knows her stuff, which was evident in the final product. She also suggested two single flowers for each mom, which was a nice touch. She was also punctual with the flowers for pictures and was fairly good about responding to my emails. On the down side, she miscalculated the total price in the contract twice, and I noticed at the wedding she did not decorate the cake the way we requested and she did not include florets on each napkin as dictated in the agreement. Once I pointed these things out via email (post-wedding), however, she explained that she ran out of flowers because of the heat that day. Overall, she does a really nice job and I recommend her services for any special day.

Suzan did a beautiful job with the flowers at our wedding. Not only were the arrangements and the arbor gorgeous, but she helped put together the tables when my wedding planner really underestimated the preparation time. She stayed until the wedding was ready to go even though her job was complete. All the bouqets and everything was of excellent quality. When choosing pricing for the items she was very flexible. I had 6 bridesmaids and I didn't want to spend too much on each of their simple bouqets, so I cut the value from the $50 each recommended by her to $35 each and they ended up being perfect, so she didn't slight me becasue of the reduction. She's straightforward and really knows her flowers. She can be a bit disorganized at times. I did have to answer a few questions repeatedly, but she asked for the answers when necessary and got the job done. I think she's an excellent florist and would highly recommend her services.

Sue has great taste and did a beautiful job with our flowers. I picked her because with your florist you need to have trust in their taste, and I truly did - I think she's got great taste and knows what looks good
In particular, she knows what she is talking about in terms of color. I was a bit concerned as my bridesmaid dresses were a jade / teal, and we were going to do pinks, purples and oranges, which seemed like it might be overkill, but Sue was right that it would work - especially against the dresses, the flowers / bouquets looked AMAZING. It was truly one of the highlights of the wedding for me to see how great the colors looked together.
She is flexible with her pricing, but certainly not cheap (as she will tell you - she says she's neither a "bargain" nor at the top in terms of pricing). I did end up cutting a number of things from her proposal in order to make things more affordable. HOWEVER, I did also feel that these cuts were noticeable. While our ceremony decor was beautiful, I felt the space looked a little sparse. So I guess just beware that if you make cuts, it may make a difference.

Amazing flowers and I always enjoy photographing them.

I have worked with Sue for many years and she does AMAZING work. She makes each wedding truly special with her one of a kind creative flair and is such a joy to work with!

Sue was more than fantastic to work with! She allowed the bride to fully state her vision and then took it to another level. She was patient, creative and willing to go above and beyond, even when on a limited budget. I can't wait to work with her again soon.

Sue and her team are wonderful! I have the opportunity to work with her a couple of times and the flowers have been beautiful. She is very friendly and my brides have loved her! I highly recommend Suzan M Florals.
