About

I have a passion for all things flowers! Drawing from my many years as a floral designer, I design flowers for weddings, parties, home decor, memorials, and special occasions in Truckee and North Lake Tahoe. My specialty is creating personalized wedding flowers, unique to each couple. I work with my clients to provide the highest quality and custom designs they desire, always working within their budget. Working mostly on my own, I am able to give the utmost attention to every detail.
I also specialize in creating unique natural floral and herbal body products. Another specialty, is creating keepsake rose bead jewelry made from your rose wedding bouquet or special roses. The beads in the jewelry are actually made from the rose petals in the bouquet using an "age old" process.

History

Established in 2001 My love of flowers at an early age, led me to a career in floral design. I have been a florist for 30 years. I worked in flower shops, in Truckee and Tahoe City, for 20 years, and have had my own business for 10 years. I have lived in Truckee for 34 years. Although, my business name is new, my experience and talents are not.

My flowers were gorgeous. I kept it very simple, but she made everything look absolutely beautiful. I had a destination wedding so all of our communication was through email, and she took the direction I gave her and gave me exactly what I wanted!

It was so easy and pleasant working with Susan! Right from the start she was able to take my vague ideas of what I wanted and make suggestions that matched my style and budget. She addressed my concerns promptly as the wedding approached and in the end, I couldn't have been more pleased with how the bouquets and centerpieces turned out. My bouquet in particular was even more elegant and beautiful than I had envisioned. Everything was absolutely perfect!

Breathtaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The flowers that Susan arranged for us were absolutely amazing and breathtaking. When I first saw them I was speechless and could not have imaged anything better. Everything that Susan created for us far exceeded our expectations. Our wedding coordinator even said the flowers arrangements were the best she had seen all season. We had so many compliments from guests and requests to take flowers home. Susan is such a wonderful person, we greatly enjoyed working with her and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who asks.

Susan was wonderful! She listened and delivered. She made special arrangements for us and the flowers were gorgeous and far out did my expectations. She has such good attention to details. I would hire her any time over again for any event. Zero concerns or complaints.

Suzi's flowers for our October wedding were gorgeous. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome. From the moment we met Suzi, we were impressed with her ability to listen and provide expert suggestions, to create the ultimate flower arrangements for our wedding. Suzi knew exactly how to enhance our natural out door venue by creating stunning flowers arrangements, that also showed vividly in our photos.

And Suzi does more than just provide amazing flower arrangements, she provides full customer service. Suzi arrived early to arrange all the flowers and pin the boutonnieres! She even stayed through the ceremony to ensure the flowers were just right and transitioned properly to the reception.

During the planning process, Suzi responded promptly and reassured us us with her professional attitude and knowledge. She is so intuitive and natural, you will be relaxed and reassured that your wedding flowers will be what you wanted and so much more.

Susan did such a fantastic job with the flowers for our wedding. We had a lovely mix of natural and elegant flowers, plus some personal touches mixed in. I could not have imagined more beautiful arrangements-- just what we were hoping for, and then some. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Susan.

Suzi did our flowers for our October wedding. They were beautiful! My bouquet smelled as if it had been fresh cut! Who knew roses in October could smell like they came from our yard?!! I really wasn't sure what I wanted but she listened to what I knew I wanted and grew from that. She has a great talent for decorating and making things "flow". After the wedding was over she took my roses and made me jewelry which I wear on special occasions. They are kept in a jar and they are scented with rose oil, so every time I wear them I remember my special day. Now I have a family heirloom to pass down to my son for his wife when he gets married. No question about it, Suzu's Petals is the way to go!

Suzu's Petals did all the flowers for my daughters wedding. Susan was very helpful throughout the whole process. We had special request flowers that she was able to deliver and present so beautifully. She even helped us find ways to save money when we went over our budget! She is very professional and has great ideas. On the day of the wedding she arrived on time and helped me change out the ribbons when we changed our minds last minute. The flowers made the whole day more beautiful, Susan's flowers conveyed just the feeling we were going for. I would highly recommend her services.
