Designs By Tricia

I planned my entire wedding via Unilocal — and thankfully, that guided me to Tricia. Not only does she do amazing work, but she’s someone I want to be friends with. She’s so passionate about the beautiful arrangements she makes but she is also a very genuine person, interested in making your wedding or event, an amazing occasion. She went over and beyond to get every detail correct, right down to getting the info about the history of my Grandma’s rosary (for posting). I’m still looking at the beautiful roses from our wedding and can’t wait to work with Tricia again!

Tricia is the best! She created exactly what I wanted for my wedding. She was able to identify any flower from whatever picture I showed her or even from my descriptions. Tricia is extremely friendly and very easy to work with. My flowers were delivered on time and looked beautiful for my wedding day and long after. It was an overall great experience working with Tricia.

Tricia went above and beyond my expectations. We met in person twice before my wedding and were in constant contact through emails and text messages. Her level of involvement and detail helped put me at ease about my flowers. She showed up on time and everything was perfect. Thank you Tricia for helping make my day so special!

Tricia is amazing! She was referred to me by my wedding videographer. I emailed Tricia to see if she was available on our wedding date and she responded promptly. I met with her at her house for the initial meeting where she showed me pictures of weddings and events she has done. That helped me a lot because I was one of those brides who had no idea about flowers. We contacted each other several times via email before wedding day. Tricia was always very quick to respond, sometimes in the middle of the night! I went to her house again about a week before the wedding and she showed me some of my flowers. Tricia is very nice and she listens and makes suggestions. I highly recommend Tricia.

When I first went to Tricia, I had found out that my flower of choice was unfortunately not in season at the time of my wedding. I had my mind set that I wanted peonies in all f my arrangements, so hearing that they were unavailable at the time of my wedding was not what I had wanted to hear. I had no idea what I wanted for my flowers since I had my mind set. However, Tricia made it very easy for me, she had MULTIPLE flower arrangements in her home for me to see the different flowers in person that were available. On top of that, she had hundreds and hundreds of pictures to show. She made the process easy peasy! She recommended Garden Roses which almost look exactly like Peonies, (which they did). Tricia definitely knows her flowers! Needless to day, the day of my wedding came and I was MORE THAN HAPPY with all of the beautiful flower arrangements she had made for us. I’m still receiving compliments on all of our flower’s! Can’t wait to receive my pictures back and look at them again! Thank you Tricia for your absolutely amazing work!

Tricia is amazing and very friendly my flowers look amazing my wedding flowers were perfect

I can’t recommend Tricia enough. First of all, she doesn’t have a minimum for an order which was perfect for us because we only did personal flowers at our wedding. Honestly, that in itself was hard to find. Tricia came recommended by the representative at my venue, who had used Tricia for her daughter’s wedding. Which seemed like a good sign to me!
I met with Tricia at her home office, and we talked through what I wanted for the bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages. I brought some pictures I liked and while other florists I met with basically suggested just copying those pictures, Tricia expanded on it, suggesting other flowers in similar colors/​styles. Tricia even found a special tulip at the flower market and put that in. I would never have known about it but I absolutely loved it. I ended up with a truly unique bouquet that felt very «me.» The rest of the flowers were great as well, and held up very well through the whole night.
Tricia was extremely professional and quick to respond to texts and emails. She seems to truly love her work and it shows. Also, her prices are incredibly fair, I think even low for the quality of the work. Hire her!

3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.
I found Tricia through Unilocal somehow mainly because she’s done weddings at our venue. One thing I really appreciate is that she is quick on the emails (I’m terrible at returning phone calls).
We met her one morning at her home where she was able to sit and chat with us over coffee and tea about our vision for our wedding. She’s really a sweet person and you can tell she’s passionate about what she does and even showed us flowers and ideas for our own wedding. Her prices are competitive (actually very reasonable), and I feel that it’s mainly because she just loves what she does and just wants to make things pretty.
My only negatives is that she did take a few phone calls during our meeting which made our meeting feel a little less special/​unimportant. Also I don’t think she takes credit card, but I can’t remember. :/​Or if she does, there’s a fee.
Took about 10 days for her to get a proposal for us. But it’s a small business and I think just her and a handful of assistants. So with that said she only takes on 1 or 2 weddings a weekend.
We haven’t booked her just yet since we are still reviewing other proposals.

We had a formal company holiday dinner party at Coto who referred me to Tricia for the centerpieces.
I had no idea what to expect and let Tricia know that I honestly didn’t really have a plan/​theme in mind and she was so helpful in taking the reigns, giving me all these ideas, and then following through within our budget.
Upon seeing the designs, it was seriously amazing! I was a little shocked at how much details went into the centerpieces. Everyone was so pleased with it and literally fought each other to take it home at the end of the night (also the flowers smelled great).
Also, Tricia is super friendly and warm. I could contact her at anytime and she was quick to respond. I wish we had more events so that we could work with her again! I would recommend her to everyone!

My husband and I met with four other florist’s before meeting with Tricia. I was getting discouraged that a florist would not be able to make our October plum country themed wedding possible. The moment we walked in the door to meet with Tricia she made us feel like we had been friends for years. Tricia is so sweet and personable!
I described my plum country elegance themed wedding to Tricia and she got up, went to her garage and brought some flowers out to show us. She designed our centerpieces right in front of us. Tricia not only understood our dream wedding she made it happen. Tricia was quick to respond to all questions I had and kept me updated at all times.
We were overwhelmed by how sweet Tricia was. My bouquet was everything and more I pictured for our big day. She was even able to attach to charms of our Grandma’s who had passed away on my bouquet. Tricia provided a wide variety of flowers and floral designs for our wedding. The moment I walked into the reception and saw the centerpieces I cried. It was perfection and everything I had always dreamed of.
Tricia even designed our cake! Our bakery only baked and frosted the cake. Tricia was the one who placed the cake topper and cascading flowers onto it. The cake was a show stopper at our wedding with how beautiful it was. Some of the flowers on our wedding cake were even from her garden, absolutely gorgeous!
Words cannot express how much Tricia made our dream wedding happen. Tricia became more than our florist she became our friend and I am truly blessed to know her. I am definitely going to be using Tricia for any event we need flowers at, she is the best florist!

Tricia is, hands down, the BEST florist in Orange County — she lives and breathes flowers! I first met her in her beautiful and flower-​filled home for my consultation, and she was so hospitable. Once we were done talking flowers, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to afford her services, but she was more than willing to work with my budget and provided me with alternatives so I would stay at/​under my budget.
Since the initial consultation, she and I kept constant communication till the weekend of my wedding. I wasn’t sure what I wanted for my ceremony decorations, so Tricia was always giving me ideas, and she never failed to keep my budget in mind.
On the day of the wedding, I saw Tricia working on the ceremony decorations, and it was everything I wanted (even though my selections were practically last-​minute). My centerpieces were gorgeous, and she even decorated my guestbook table with some beautiful dahlias from her own garden.
Tricia, thank you so much for everything!

I used Tricia for my wedding last October and I could not be happier with my decision to hire her as my wedding florist! I met her for an initial consultation in her home and she was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. I know nothing about flowers but she was very patient about explaining the different types of flowers, what would be in season, what would get me the look I wanted for less, etc. She also offered a lot of different ideas since I didn’t really have any concrete ideas of what I wanted. I explained what I was generally envisioning and showed her some pictures and she totally got it! When I saw all the bouquets and centerpieces she made for the wedding, I was shocked at how perfectly she got the look I was going for! I’m not a big flowers person, but the flowers on my wedding day were so beautiful! I was bummed that they couldn’t last forever…
Another thing I loved about Tricia is that she was very mindful of my budget and her prices were very reasonable as far as wedding flowers go. My initial budget was totally unrealistic (I had no idea how much flowers cost!) but she came as close as she could and she offered some suggestions for things to eliminate in order to lessen the cost, without sacrificing the overall look. Talk about customer service and not just trying to upsell to make a buck! In an industry where it seems like it’s easy to just try to oversell brides to make more money, I really appreciated this.
Lastly, I loved how quickly she responded to emails. She was always readily accessible and willing to answer emails even at 3am… I’m not even kidding. I got email responses from her really late/​early! She is so committed to her clients and making sure they are happy and I loved that about her.
I HIGHLY recommend Tricia to all brides! She is the best at what she does and I loved having her as one of my vendors!

I met Tricia during a bridal expo at the Center Club in Costa Mesa. I liked the floral arrangements she had on display so I took her card and checked out her website. I really liked what I saw on her website too so I contacted her.
Tricia and I met twice and exchanged a few emails and that was it. Although Tricia is very busy during wedding season she was on top of all the details and changes we made to my contract.
What I appreciated about working with Tricia, is that eventhough I don’t know much about flowers and couldn’t tell her the exact names of flowers I liked, she was able to extract my vision and by showing me pictures and sample arrangements she was able to show me that she understood exactly what I had in my head even though I couldn’t express it in words. I wanted understated flowers that wouldn’t be all up in everyone’s face, but still did their job in adding some softness to our event. I loved my centerpieces, loved my bouquet, loved the mini arrangement that went on top of the cake. I loved the corsage she made for my mother in law and the little pillow she made for the ring boy… basically, I loved everything Tricia did and could not have been happier with her work. I’m so glad she was part of our special day!

I was so happy with the florals that Tricia created! They were so beautiful! Tricia worked with me as I finalized the flowers and colors I decided to use. Her prices are competitive and she is so super sweet! Thank you Tricia for playing such a huge part in creating the beauty for our wedding day!!!

MY FLOWERS WERE PERFECT! The decorations were perfect and I could not have asked for better! Tricia loves what she does and it really shows in her work! I cannot say enough good things for what an exceptional job Tricia did with our flowers and decorating the venue! I wish there were more stars to rate her with! I HIGHLY recommend Designs by Tricia!

As a wedding planner, I love working with Tricia! She is so personable and down to earth and really enjoys what she does. I’ve worked with her many times through the Center Club in Costa Mesa and am always amazed at her unique and beautiful designs. I would recommend her to any bride or someone looking for sophisticated and elegant florals for their next event!
