  Dreams do come true

  Kimberly is the absolute best!! She took my vision and ran with it, she's a true creative and really understood what I wanted, even if I didn't at times! She made an INCREDIBLE hair piece for me, and a sweet floral collar for my dog. She was able to reuse pieces from the ceremony for the reception. The florals were our only decor at the reception, and they were breathtaking. I was devastated to leave them that night! I can't imagine hiring anyone other than Kimberly for our wedding.

  Kimberly is a master! We were so lucky to work with her for our wedding in December. From start to finish she was easy to work with. We met twice before the wedding to go over our vision and, two weeks before the wedding when I asked if I needed to up my budget to get the look I wanted, Kimberly was honest and said she didn't need the extra money to pull it off! Virtually unheard of, especially in the world of wedding planning! I can safely say the pieces Kimberly created for our wedding were the most gorgeous, unique arrangements I've ever seen (and our guests agreed). She took our vision and created a polished, romantic vibe that was better than we could have imagined. We highly recommend The Dainty Lion for all your flower needs!

  Kimberly truly brought our dream wedding to life with her unbelievably gorgeous, innovative and show-stopping floral arrangements!
  
  I knew I had to work with Kimberly when I came across her work; her unique and non-traditional take on wedding florals perfectly fit the modern and bold look I was after. In addition, 5 minutes into meeting her, I immediately fell in love with her super warm personality, huge smile and her clear ability to take my vision and bring it to life with her choice in flowers, colors and styling. This was especially important since florals were one of our top priorities for our Garden wedding.
  
  Kimberly first created our engagement photo bouquet prior to our wedding (breathtaking), and then on the day of, she delivered ridiculously amazing family-style table centerpieces, our bride and groom chair decor, and our impeccably styled chuppah, which my husband and I were married under. And the bridal bouquet -- I still have no words. It was more incredible than anything I had dreamed of!! Needless to say, the florals completely stole the show all night, and they were talked about weeks after our wedding. She went above and beyond with every single piece of her work. We could not have been happier and more in awe with it all!!
  
  Kimberly is passionate about working closely with her clients and building the relationship to deliver florals that feel so personal and fitting. She is also all about working collaboratively with the vendor team to really achieve that beautifully styled wedding with attention to every single detail.
  
  We HIGHLY recommend Kimberly and The Dainty Lion Floral Co. for the couple that is looking for florals that stand out from the rest with a bold and a non-traditional /fresh flare, and well as a creative and kind soul that places her heart and passion into everything she touches.

  I can't really say enough wonderful things about Kimberly of Dainty Lion Florals. Her creativity is off the charts and she is also one of the nicest people I've met. I went to her with a really specific mood that I wanted, but not necessarily the exact flowers and colors. She took my ideas and just ran with them and created the most amazing wedding florals ever. Everyone loved them and commented about them all day. Kimberly also went above and beyond, creating an amazing garland piece for behind the ceremony area, and an amazing fern creation for behind the wedding dessert table and used some ribbon I bought for the bouquets. She also dealt with a little last minute panic as I figured out I hadn't ordered enough bouquets for my zillion flower girls and maids. She just went ahead and created another bouquet out of some other flowers she had there. And my bouquet, honestly, it was a work of art. I didn't want to throw it away once it was beyond its best a few days after the wedding. It literally was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. Thank you Kimberly, you made our day perfect. HIRE HER FOR YOUR WEDDING!!

  Kimberly knocked it out of the park! In addition to being one of the most loveliest people to be around, she has a remarkable gift, and her passion for her art is so inspiring. I am truly honored that she allowed me to be one of her brides. I came to her with my 1920's fairytale style wedding theme, and she more than brought that to life. I still get numerous inquires about "who was your florist!?" and hundreds of comments about my gorgeous bouquet that almost knocked me off my feet. Seriously, she is the best.

  Kimberly of The Dainty Lion absolutely blew me away! I went into choosing florals with limited opinions and a kind of "whatever works," attitude. Kimberly quickly caught onto my style and presented me floral arrangements that were beyond anything I could have ever imgined! She made me fall in love with choosing florals for our wedding and was always there with suggestions when my less than creative mind would get stuck. She was so fun to work with, super professional, and delivered AMAZING florals for our wedding. I am so grateful for all of her hard work and the effort she put into every detail. Thank you Kimberly!!

  There aren't enough good things that I could say about Kimberly. Her attention to detail is exceptional and her creativity/eye for design is breathtaking. She made this process so much fun and stress free for me, I'd gladly do it all over again! Her suggestions and reminders were so helpful, I was astounded by the number of things I would never have even thought of if it hadn't been for her (regardless, of the number of online checklists I was using). She was great at communicating with all of the vendors and the venue. In fact, my venue was extremely excited when I told them I had hired Kimberly as my coordinator. I definitely recommend Kimberly for your wedding needs.

  Kimberly is amazing! She goes above and beyond and her skills and talents are a very rare find. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work with her for my wedding planning and flowers, she delivered serious beauty to my day and I will forever be grateful.

  After watching my best friend give herself an ulcer while planning her wedding my first order of business after getting engaged was to get a wedding planner. The Dainty Lion was recommend by a friend who had recently attended a wedding she planned. After seeing pictures and meeting with Kimberly, I knew she was the planner for me. She was such a joy to work with. My ideas and themes were all over the place (tropical, vintage, travel, color choices, etc.) and Kimberly helped conceptualized and mesh everything together in such an elegant way. I'm scared to think of how my wedding would have looked without her. She has such a fine attention to detail, I honestly can't believe how I was able to get everything I wanted for my budget. If an element I wanted was too expensive Kimberly was able to somehow find a cheaper way to do it or suggest something similar that had the same effect. Kimberly was very professional and even helped to find vendors who wouldn't rip me off. My flower budget was only $1,200 (for everything!) and I was able to get more flowers I than I could imagine. Kimberly helped find a florist (Francos Flowers in Encinitas) that didn't charge an arm & a leg just because the flowers were for a wedding (side note a florist I had visited had me in tears b/c she said there was no way I could get flowers for $1,200) and she even made me smaller arrangements so my venue would look complete. I stayed within my budget, bouquets and all!!!! My ceremony and reception site were breathtaking! You could tell how much care Kimberly puts into her work, there were so many cute details. She made airplane placeholders/gifts for my guests out of candy, looks like they took hours to make. I kept mine as a keepsake :) All of my guests were so impressed with her work, I wish I could take credit! I would definitely recommend Kimberly and The Dainty Lion. I can't thank them enough for making the wedding of my dreams come true!

  Choosing Kimberly as our wedding coordinator was probably the biggest decision that Joey and I had to make with the wedding. After meeting her, we looked at each other and we kind of just "knew" she was the one (a feeling you should definitely have with someone who will be taking your hand and guiding you through this important time in your life).
  
  Kimberly is extremely professional, and all of the people that we worked with felt very highly of her. If any of her suggestions were not in our price range, Kimberly always gave us multiple alternatives and was very flexible.
  
  Kimberly also has amazing taste, something that a bride can really rely on when she's given so many options for everything. Kimberly really listened to the style and feel of our dream wedding, and helped to make everything a reality.
  
  On the day of the wedding, Kimberly worked her magic and made the day go very smoothly. She was invaluable to help with the little hiccups that happened (including our wedding cake sinking in and the venue putting out the wrong chairs, which she took care of immediately), and it was comforting to know that she was right there!
  
  And just as important: Kimberly has a great personality. She always made us at ease, and we always looked forward to every meeting that we had with her. We were happy to have made such a great friend through this whole wedding process.
  
  What I loved most about working with Kimberly at The Dainty Lion was her breadth of knowledge. She was able to help me calmly make big picture decisions while taking care of all the smaller details. She is very easy going and a go-getter at the same time. I would highly recommend her to any bride.
