Kristine was exceptional in every possible way. She stepped in mid way through the planning of our wedding; we had sourced some vendors and that was pretty much it. From the beginn...
ing she was determined to turn around our planning experience and turned it into something fun, exciting, and something we finally looked forward to. Her floral designs were gorgeous as were all of the graphics she designed for us. Nothing was too much to ask - we had full trust in her and are so grateful for everything. Her quick thinking saved our big day in so many ways… from last minute outfit issues to the fact we were left without an officiant shortly before the wedding (where she incredibly stepped up and became our officiant which was absolute perfection!). We feel so lucky to have been introduced to Kristine and not only did she create our perfect wedding but we have made a great friend in her.
Kristine Smith Designs was the perfect florist and coordinator for our wedding. Kristine and her team were responsive, kind, passionate, and patient with us throughout the entire p...
lanning process. The florals they created were absolutely beautiful and even better than what I envisioned. Every note I gave she delivered perfectly and helped me plan ahead for things I didn’t even realize we needed to do. Kristine helped coordinate everything so it all came together beyond every expectation. Her hard work and attention to detail made our wedding day just incredible. I truly can’t get over how amazing everything was. She was very organized and helped make sure we were stress free, not just the day of but with everything leading up to the wedding. She consistently went above and beyond for us. We appreciate everything and cannot thank her enough for making such a big day so magical for us. I 1000% recommend working with Kristine and her team.

onse time, and genuinely comforting. She checked in on us emotionally and made sure to keep us in check when it came to getting our weekly homework done. We are both very busy attorneys, so it was comforting to know that Kristine would gently nudge us and remind us of the immediate tasks that needed to get done. Her team's dedication, attention to detail, and invaluable expertise made them an indispensable part of our special day. We went into our wedding day expecting something to go wrong, as that is what everyone told us to expect when planning a wedding, but Kristine made our day flawless. Not a single detail was overlooked, and Kristine captured our vision perfectly, right down to the lovely woven baskets that held the flowers down the aisle. Kristine also helped us start preparing for the wedding 16 months in advance, so that by the time we were 2-3 weeks away, there was barely anything left to do. I felt so calm and confident the whole time, knowing Kristine and her team had everything under control. Kristine also did our flowers, which was perfect because as our planner, Kristine understood exactly what our vision was! We are so grateful for their incredible service and would highly recommend Kristine Smith Designs to any couple planning their wedding. Our wedding would not have been what it was without her!

ial day truly extraordinary. Kristine's communication style is professional, sincere, and thoughtful - she was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance, no matter how small the detail. The quality of her work and overall vision was nothing short of stunning.
Kristine offered to be a problem solver for us in moments where we felt stuck, even if it was unrelated to our flowers. She always had the answer, and we consider her the "wedding superhuman"! We chose our vendors not just for their work, but for their personality and kindness, because we wanted to be surrounded by love on our wedding day. Kristine is everything and more, and we are so grateful to have worked with her team. Our wedding truly wouldn't have been the same without her, and we will forever be grateful to her. Hiring Kristine is an experience, and if you miss out, you surely will regret it.

ork and truly enjoy all the fun aspects of the wedding festivities. Kristine was incredibly supportive, especially when I went over my initial budget, offering creative alternatives that made everything work. She was also thoughtful, providing cute umbrellas for our guests and even gifting us our wedding cake—a gesture we deeply appreciated!! I highly recommend Kristine - her help was invaluable in making our day perfect!

er for my florals at my wedding & I was not disappointed one bit. She truly went above and beyond to execute my vision, and they turned out better than I would have imagined! I got so many compliments throughout the night & even had a handful of guests bring home all the center pieces and bouquets because they were that beautiful!
Professionally, Kristine is VERY organized and is so easy to communicate with. She really does feel like a best friend you’ve had for years. I had a little bit of a meltdown & Kristine handled it with professionalism, grace, and so much kindness. I tell her all the time, but if I could get married again I would hire her a million times over. The sweetest soul and she is truly a master of her art. Thank you again for being my dream florist.
I worked with Kristine to plan my huge wedding in Temecula of about 200 people. From the beginning, Kristine was always available for every call and responded to every text. What s...
et her apart for me was that she was like my emotional support buddy during the planning process and due to her experience as a planner provided me with a lot of insight on how to deal with vendors which I really appreciated. I also asked Kristine to do my florals and she provided really gorgeous mock-ups. My wedding was actually canceled due to a surprise pregnancy but I feel confident that on the day Kristine would've been fantastic!
Our wedding would not have been complete without Kristine! She held it down while we got to enjoy our day. She knew everything front and back, got the timing right, set up, spoke w...

ise and greatest of all kindness and compassion.
She was thorough in her communications and the design/planning process, seeking my input every step of the way. Her support and talent just blew me away from the start and she went above and beyond with what was finally delivered on our wedding day. The florals far exceeded my expectations and I am so grateful for her. I would recommend her no question about it to anyone seeking a florist or coordination services because she is truly exceptional!

What set Kristine apart was her genuine concern for my well-being during the often overwhelming wedding planning journey. She consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable and mentally okay, providing not just logistical support but also emotional support.
Kristine not only understood my vision for the wedding but translated it into a reality that surpassed my expectations. Her organizational skills, communication, and commitment to excellence made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kristine to anyone in need of a professional and compassionate wedding planner. Her expertise and genuine care make her an invaluable asset in creating a memorable and stress-free wedding day.
Kristine ROCKS!

om a clueless couple with no wedding visions. She started from scratch by providing different wedding venue proposals to traveling across the world to coordinate our wedding weekend events. We received multiple compliments from our guests on how well our events were organized/coordinated and on the beauty of the venues (all Kristine’s work). We are forever grateful to have found and worked with Kristine and her lovely assistant 💓

help, even when it didn’t pertain to florals, she was always there for my now-wife and I🥰 meeting her was such a huge blessing!
From the initial outreach to the conclusion of the wedding, Kristine was an excellent communicator. She listened to our needs and wants, and made it a priority to deliver for us. T...
rue story, literally seconds after browsing her website, she sent a message to me and we ended up jumping on a call late on a Sunday evening. Her initial responsiveness was impressive, but continued with that same level of dedication throughout our planning process.
She went the extra mile to create a truly memorable wedding day for us. Not only did she craft a stunning floral arrangement, but she also played a pivotal role in shaping the overall aesthetic of our ceremony. Going above and beyond, she took it upon herself to secure the necessary chairs and personally ensure their delivery. Furthermore, her recommendations for hair, makeup, and a wedding cake were of the highest quality. While we anticipated the challenges of planning a destination micro-wedding, meeting her assured us that we were in capable hands.
When we first determined that we wanted a destination wedding, we knew that we would need assistance coordinating major and minor details from thousands of miles away. Kristine simplified everything for us, and we literally could not have done this without her. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Kristine! We highly recommend her for any of your wedding needs (destination or local).
I am SOOOO happy I went with Kristine for our wedding flowers! I had originally hired someone else but after getting some red flags I went on Zola and searched every single availab...
le vendor in my price range. After finding Kristine, I went on her website and saw sample weddings that made my jaw drop. One wedding in particular was very similar to what I had in mind (boho, beachy). After our first phone chat, I knew she was the one for the job. She was so great with communications during the months of planning, especially considering that I'm very Type A and annoying lol. She listened to every single idea and request I had, then knocked it out of the ballpark for the big day. I had SOOOO many people mention how amazing the flowers were, even my two coordinators! I may have made a few mistakes in the overall planning of my wedding but hiring Kristine was DEFINITELY NOT one of them. I promise you will love working with her!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our wedding planner! From the moment we hired her, she went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was nothing short of perfect....
One of the standout qualities of our wedding planner was her exceptional responsiveness. She communicated with us increasingly as the big day approached, addressing every question and concern promptly. Her availability and willingness to keep us in the loop at all times truly put our minds at ease throughout the planning process.
What truly set her apart was her dedication to making our vision come to life. She listened attentively to our ideas and desires, and then worked tirelessly to exceed our expectations. She not only executed everything we asked for flawlessly but also added her own creative touch that made our wedding day even more magical. She was such an important part of our big day!
On the big day itself, she was a true superhero. She coordinated every detail seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. From the venue setup to coordinating with vendors and ensuring the schedule ran smoothly, she was on top of it all.
Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and it's all thanks to her incredible expertise, hard work, and passion for what she does. We are forever grateful for her dedication to making our day so special, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding planner who goes above and beyond. Thank you, Kristine, for making our dreams come true!!!!!

s that we never would have considered without her help. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a florist or planner for their upcoming wedding. She is genuine, caring and truly wants to help you have the best day of your life. Not only that but she is incredibly organized and doesn’t miss a beat. Do not regret working alongside her one bit for our big day!
