The most lovely and professional vendor!

Kristine and her team were so kind and professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. They worked with my now-husband and I through every step of the way which allowed us to relax and enjoy a very special period of time and a very special day. They were flexible and accommodating and supportive. I am so thankful for the way in which the KSD team brought my dream wedding to life!

The best decision we ever made

We were introduced to Kristine by a friend/vendor after our previous planner had let us down repeatedly. Kristine reached out to us and reassured us that our situation was fixable! She swept in and within just a few meetings had knocked our big day into shape. She is kind, professional, caring and has the most incredible ideas. She ensured our wedding day was personal, thoughtful, slick and organised and made sure it was an event our guests will speak about for years to come. Her designs for graphics and florals were impeccable and everyone cannot stop talking about all of the small personal touches she helped us come up with. Nothing was too much to ask and no matter how many bumps in the road we found Kristine was always there to reassure us and have things fixed in no time at all. The icing on the cake (so to speak!) for us was when we were unfortunately left without an officiant shortly before our big day. Unaware she was ordained, without skipping a beat she kindly told us she would love to marry us if we were happy with the arrangement, meaning our new friend was the person to perform our ceremony - it was perfection. We also worked with her team (Sandra an Angela) who were both equal match to the warmth and professionalism Kristine displayed at all times. Thank you everyone!

Most magical wedding ever!!

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 planning 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.

The best wedding bestie!!!

Kristine Smith Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the start, Kristine's communication style was straightforward about what to expect, quick in response 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!

Wow wow wow

Kristine Smith Designs deserves every bit of praise we can give! Kristine was not only our florist but also our wedding planner for our June 2022 wedding in Temecula, and she truly went above and beyond in every way imaginable. From the first consultation to the big day, she made us feel heard, valued, and supported.

Kristine helped us stay within our budget without ever compromising the vision I had for my fairytale wedding. Every floral arrangement was breathtaking, and she flawlessly brought my dream aesthetic to life. Beyond her design talents, Kristine was a true rock for us throughout the planning process and on the day itself. She kept our rowdy wedding party organized with grace and positivity, which allowed my husband and me to enjoy every moment without added stress.

Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients shone through in everything she did. Even months after the wedding! Thanks to Kristine, we had the wedding of our dreams, and we’ll forever be grateful for her hard work and expertise. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day extraordinary, look no further than Kristine Smith Designs!

Very good value for money, Very dependable for the day of logistics

Through the few months of our working together, Kristine has been emotionally supportive of me whenever surprises happened! I’m thankful I had her to hold my hands through the planning process. The florist she found me was OMG so dreamy yet cost effective! On the wedding day, she was very much on the ball with all the logistics that I was able to focus on enjoying the day (where everything happened so quickly!) and being beautiful and happy :) The only regret of the day was that, because the day was almost a fast blur, and at one point things fell behind schedule and got stressful…we completely forgot to get proper portraits and kiss pictures of ourselves in my main wedding gown :( I switched into a shorter reception dress during dinner so yeah the window was kinda limited - basically cocktail hour was our only chance, and I wish she reminded us and/or our photographers to do that (ding ding ding future brides! Don’t be silly like me!) But all in all, I’d highly recommend Kristine still! She charged us a very reasonable price, was so so supportive and professional throughout, was responsive via text at all kinds of hours, made us really feel special on the day of, and handled sometimes difficult negotiations with our vendors effortlessly. When we renew our vows in 10 years or something, we might hire Kristine again!

My Roman Empire

Working with Kristine was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day! Kristine handled our florals AND was our wedding planner. I am allergic to flowers so we needed to source alternative florals, and Kristine took on all that extra research! She also managed to take my disorganized, random buzzwords and turned them into the perfect wedding for us! It’s been almost 2 years and I still think about the magic Kristine managed to make daily! Working with her truly is my Roman Empire!

Kristine - Our wedding superhuman!

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.

Amazing florals

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.

A Florist Fairy Godmother

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!
