Incredible Vision

My mom learned about Susan through a recommendation from a friend. Susan met with me and I showed her some inspiration and we just talked about the overall aesthetic of the wedding. Susan even recommended this gorgeous hanging floral. I had originally just wanted greenery, but Susan had a vision and I trusted it. Susan worked in items that we had collected (brass and glass candle sticks) and some items that would enhance it. I love candles and I wanted there to be an abundance of them.

Come the wedding day, Susan was there and got to work. When I tell you it was better than I could have imagined it was. I trusted Susan and her talents and I could not have been happier. I looked around and could not believe that this was my wedding. It looked out of a magazine. Susan is amazing and I am so in awe of her talent. No matter your vision, Susan will make it happen.

Beautiful flowers and exceeded expectations

Susan did a beautiful job with our flowers. I specifically requested peonies because they are my favorite flower. She had to ship them all the way from Europe. We had a wedding arch and flowers on our tables. She did a fabulous job! Also she worked out in the rain installing the flowers on the arch. I sincerely appreciate Susan's dedication in the rain! Hire her for your wedding. You won't regret it!

Beautiful Flowers, Amazing Experience

The flowers and floral arrangements at my wedding were more beautiful that I could have ever imagined. Susan knew exactly which questions to ask to help me verbalize my vision and was communicative through the entire process. I showed her a few inspiration pictures initially for some larger arrangements, and her designs were even more beautiful than the pictures!! Susan helped me stay within my budget and get the flower arrangements of my dreams. The venue coordinator said that the space had never looked more beautiful because of the flowers! If there is availability, I highly recommend working with Specialties Florals and Events.

Beyond our Expectations!

My daughter chose Susan for her wedding flowers and we couldn’t be more pleased! From the very first time we met her she seemed to have an innate ability to “see” my daughters vision and bring it to life. She knew all the right questions to ask us that we hadn’t thought of. A true professional, she was unperturbed when the bride wanted to make a change. She knows her flowers and was up on the latest trends. Her floral creations and tablescapes were truly breathtaking! For exquisite design and great customer service, choose Specialties Florals and Events. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Susan for making my daughter’s wedding as beautiful as she was!

Susan was so thoughtful and caring!

Susan and her team were truly wonderful! After we had to reschedule our original date due to covid, my huband and I decided to go ahead and get married at the courthouse but have our reception a year later. Susan sent me a care package after dealing with the heartbreak of rescheduling AND designed a bouquet for when we went to the courthouse. When we finally had our big day a year later, Susan and her team exceeded all of our expectations. She was so easy to work with and perfectly matched our vision with the venue.

Made My Vision Come to Life

Susan and the team at Specialty Florals made our already beautiful venue even more gorgeous. I gave Susan a rough idea of my vision and she brought it to life. The florals were perfect during the day-of, and the team at Specialty Florals made the coordination in the weeks leading up seamless and easy. Strongly recommend!

Unbelievable flowers

Flowers were a really important part of our small wedding. Susan took my photos and ideas and created an incredible display. I still can't believe how stunning the altar was for our ceremony. The bouquet was unlike any I have seen before and the floral runner was even better than I could have imagined. She is a true creative genius!

Wedding Florals

Specialties Florals and Events did the Florals for my daughter's wedding and they were amazing. I have to say Susan was my favorite vendor. She is such a wonderful lady to work with and she created exactly what we wanted and more. Her eye for floral design is unmatched. The floral chandeliers she creates are breathtaking and everyone was in awe of it. She took our color scheme and incorporated it in all the details. She is just the best!!
I would highly recommend her to everyone!

Beautiful design and amazing service!

Susan and her team did such an amazing job bringing my floral ideas to life. I knew a few colors I wanted to focus on but other than that, was really open to other ideas. Susan tied in beautiful acrylic pieces, aisle markers, center pieces, mantle arrangements and more that were all so, so beautiful. It was such a seamless process working with Susan and she truly does amazing work. I cannot recommend her and her services enough for any special occasion. I even talked about how much I loved working with her that my now mother-in-law used her services for our rehearsal dinner and she again went above and beyond!!
