g! The bold fuchsia arrangements matched perfectly with my bridesmaids’ dresses and tied everything together beautifully; I LOVED my bridal bouquet, also! The table décor was elegant and high-quality, exactly what we envisioned for our wedding day. Ruth was also incredibly patient and flexible when there was a small gap in our day-of timeline, which we appreciated so much. Her professionalism, creativity, and kindness made everything seamless. Highly recommend Ruth to any couple looking for a florist who truly cares about your special day! Thank you Ruth!

I cannot say enough good things about Ruth at Smiling Petals. For my wedding I searched high and low for a florist and when I say Ruth went above and beyond, that wouldn’t be enoug...
h. From the details, thoughtfulness, quality, and just all around beautiful and amazing work—I would never have imagined a better florist. Our wedding was so beautiful because of the beautiful work. One thing that stood out as well was that when my brother who was in the Army was able to attend last minute, Ruth not only accommodated a last minute request but provided it free of charge. Just all around the most wonderful florist ever, I wish we lived close by because I’d use Smiling Petals over and over again. Thank you Ruth!

ntless options with different price points and different flower combinations. The final products were exactly what I envisioned; bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnières, centerpieces, sweetheart table, and large arrangements for ceremony decoration. The blooms were all fresh and beautifully arranged! Ruth was super responsive to me during the planning process (both text and email), and was always pleasant, professional, and courteous. I would recommend Smiling Petals to absolutely everyone. She will answer your questions and work to create the florals of your dreams. Take it from me, one stressed bride: booking with Smiling Petals was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process and we’re so thrilled with how everything turned out!!
