Lois Mathews Design

Lois was absolutely fantastic to work with. Flowers can be super overwhelming and she was so sweet, honest, helpful and full of creative ideas. We discussed my vision and I showed her some photos of flowers that I liked and what I had in mind for the wedding… on our first meeting she brought me in her workshop and showed me some center pieced ideas based on our conversation and it was perfect for the classic/​romantic theme I was going for.
Lois far exceeded my expectations and my flowers were absolutely gorgeous. They were exactly what I wanted and everyone at our wedding could not stop talking about how amazing everything looked. Lois is very professional and responsive and has wonderful ideas. I would highly recommend her, she is fantastic and you will not be disappointed… no need to spend the time looking at any other florist in San Diego… Lois is all you need!

Well this review is both sad and happy. I LOVE Lois. I found her on Unilocal when I was researching wedding florist for my upcoming wedding. As you can see she is highly recommended. So I emailed her to see if she was available. We met and let me tell you, this amazing woman completely elevated my wedding. She took my ideas and really took them to the next level. She has all these amazing decorative items that can be used as well, taking your wedding décor to the next unique step!!! She’s amazing! And she works so so hard to make her brides happy. I cannot gush more.
Ok. With that being said, Lois prefers to work in San Diego as she knows the area and the venues. Totally fair. I asked her to come to Temecula for my wedding and she decided that she would venture out there for me. She was interested in my wedding and wanted to work with us. We were thrilled. Well our venue didn’t end up working out (they forgot to share the massive construction that would be taking place during my wedding) and we had to cancel. We booked a new venue in Palm Springs. I called Lois to explain what happened and to see if she was comfortable with that. Unfortunately for me, she wasn’t. However, she was so kind and heard my story. She gave us our entire deposit back and told me to call her if I have any questions about décor or flowers AND she said she would research some of the florists we were interested in to see what kind of work they did. Above and beyond. It’s truly my loss that I don’t get to have her there on my big day. If you get a chance to work with her, I highly highly recommend it. She is absolutely wonderful, both in her work and as a person. Please please please look no further and give her a call!!!

Lois did an absolutely amazing job as our florist. We were so happy with everything. Her pieces were just stunning– from the bouquet, to the centerpieces, to ceremony site to my special name tag display. She really listened to what I wanted and created a beautiful image.
PERFECT! We would very highly recommend her!

Lois was wonderful! She has a tremendous knowledge of flowers and was incredibly helpful during our planning process. From the beginning of our first consultation, Lois had the right feel for our wedding. We were able to bounce ideas off of each other, using her years of experience, and found the perfect floral arrangement for our special day.
Lois kept in touch with us as needed throughout the planning process, and was always quick to respond to my emails. Considering our ideal flowers weren’t always guaranteed, due to them being seasonal, Lois had a slew of ideas ready as a backup just in case. Luckily, our flowers were available, and our vision came to life.
The day of the wedding came and Lois and her team did an amazing job. The flowers were so beautiful and her team was on top of everything. Lois truly did such an amazing job and I can’t thank her or recommend her enough!

Lois is AMAZING and a true artist. I feel a little embarrassed– I really didn’t care that much about flowers and it seemed like one more «to-​do» that I just didn’t want to deal with. But my mother-​in-​law gave me Lois’ card and promised that I wouldn’t regret it. And she was right!
Lois will take as much or as little feedback as given. Mark and I said that we envisioned our event as a fun party and that we were leaning towards purple and gray as colors. From there, we went into her barn and she started brain-​storming. Her initial vision was more expensive than we wanted but when I told her how much she had to work with, she didn’t bat an eye and quickly made adjustments. We also said we’d love to stay local and with the season, which allowed her to save on costs rather than spending money on shipping or out of season flowers.
The flowers were transformative. People were amazed and the two guests who are REALLY into flowers (professionally) were floored. Also, Lois did my bouquet which is the most beautiful bouquet I’ve ever seen and has dried perfectly. I loved it and felt like I was holding the most gorgeous ornament. It made me feel prettier holding it! The men’s boutonnière’s were unique and also able to tolerate lots of hugs that a wedding entails (which Lois said was one of her aims!).

Lois is an amazingly talented floral designer that truly listens to what her clients want/​need. I have been blown away by her creations! She uses the highest quality pieces which, when put together, blow people away. I have been at events where her centerpieces and bouquets were displayed, and EVERYONE commented positively about them. She is not some run-​of-​the-​mill floral designer, she’s an artist. Anyone who hires her for a wedding or event will be very happy.

Lois is amazing.
We were recommended to Lois by two separate people to be the florist for our wedding in October of 2011. On our initial visit, we knew that there was no other choice for us. Lois made us very comfortable, invited us into her workshop to begin creating centerpieces and bouquets, had a million ideas that matched our vision to a T.
When the big day finally arrived, Lois had worked some serious magic! She arrived to the bridal suite with my bouquet and the girls bouquets (all 9 of us!) and I was truly floored. The flowers were beautiful and fresh, and it was obvious that Lois LOVES her work.
The ceremony site was done exactly as I had pictured and the cocktail hour tables were decked out perfectly. Once we got into the reception room, there were ooohs and ahhhhs from all of our guests.
Lois also accommodated a last minute request for a huge thank you bouquet (in a vase) for our onsite coordinator. She incorporated the flowers from our wedding and delivered the masterpiece for us.
Lois made our wedding even more memorable by being more than a business partner. If felt like we were working with family. She is very easy to work with, her contract is easy to understand and she makes herself available to her clients at a moments notice. She was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls, and I never had any fears or concerns when working with her.
I would recommend Lois to anyone. In a heartbeat and without hesitation. We love Lois!

I received countless compliments on the flower arrangements that Lois designed for my July 2006 wedding. My mom and I met with several florists but Lois was the only one that provided that something different that would complement the vision I had for my wedding. My colors were blue and brown, not typical colors you find flowers in. The one type of flower that I wanted incorporated was blue hydrangeas. Truely blue hydrangeas are sometimes hard to find in July but she delivered the brightest, most blue bouquets for my bridesmaids. They looked gorgeous against their brown dresses!
I was amazed when I walked into the reception to finally get to see her vision in front of me. She made both tall and low centerpieces that filled the large space of the reception. And she added some little extra touches on all the tables that completed it all.
The best arrangement of all was my bouquet of course. White peonies, hydrangeas, ranunculus along with little touches of blue and some white pearls for sparkle… amazing! Two years later I still pull out the pictures to look at all the flowers. You will not be disappointed with Lois’ service!
