From the moment we first spoke with Kristine Smith Designs, we knew we had found a wedding florist who was not only incredibly talented, but also deeply invested in making our special 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.

We started working with Kristine over a year before our wedding, and it was such a relief to have everything planned and organized well ahead of time. This allowed me to focus on work 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!

Look no further, Kristine is your gal! I have nothing but amazing things to say about her & her team. She is an absolute joy to be around and is so kind and professional. I hired her 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 set 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 with vendors, lined everything up and thought of things we never would have. Kristine made sure we were both ready for the day and met with us regularly. We 100% recommend hiring Kristine for your wedding - she is amazing!

I was so privileged to find Kristine as my florist through recommendations on a local San Diego Bridal Group. Kristine conducts her business with the utmost professionalism, expertise 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!

I had the pleasure of working with Kristine as my wedding planner, and her professionalism truly stood out. Throughout the entire process, she demonstrated a high level of expertise and dedication. Kristine's attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every aspect of the wedding was meticulously planned and executed.
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!
Her expertise, exceptional communication, and compassionate personality was key to a beautiful wedding day and overall experience.
She truly captured our style, from 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 💓

Kristine was everything we ever needed or wanted AND MORE for our wedding florist. She is quite literally our wedding bestie!

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. True 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 available 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!!!!!

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!
