Karen and her team made our wedding vision come true with the most fantastic succulent arrangements! They also built an incredible arch for the ceremony! Karen was so easy to work with, was available for appointments and was so creative and flexible in her approach! She is so lovely and is so inspired in her creations! Professional, approachable, communicative and visionary! More...

After meeting with several floral designers, I was beginning to lose hope that I would find someone who "got" me and understood my initial vision - and could jump in, ask the right questions, and provide ideas and guidance to round it out.  I decided to meet with one more - Karen Sartori - and I am SO glad I did!  She "got" me right off the bat, and turned my initial vision into something better than I ever could have imagined!Working with Karen was my favorite part of wedding planning.  She had excellent ideas and brought the perfect balance of endless enthusiasm and calming energy to the experience.  She gave me peace of mind that everything would come together perfectly - and it did!  I loved every one of our our centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages.  Not only was Karen incredibly knowledgeable as to which flowers were in season and would look best, but she provided guidance as to which linens, table numbers, candles and finishing touches would bring everything together as well.  I truly loved every detail - and am so grateful to Karen for everything she did to make our big day wonderful!

We first met Karen about 6 months before our wedding in which we hired her on for our day of coordination and floral design for our wedding at The Hyatt Regency Newport Beach on September 21, 2019. Karen is the absolute sweetest person you will ever meet. She is organized and asks all the right questions and always has nice recommendations to help fit what you are looking for. She is very responsive and connects with vendors seamlessly. From managing our large processional party to the beautiful decor and set up of our ceremony and reception. The flowers were beautiful and the decor took our breath away. The abor decor and drapings looked amazing at the ceremony and the smaller details like the memorial arrangement, re-purposing of the bouquets and table centerpieces made the reception area so beautiful! Karen is amazing and really went out of her way to ensure things ran smoothly from start to finish! We truly can't thank her enough! More...

We hired Karen as our florist and day of wedding coordinator, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our decision. I am the kind of person that really appreciates the beauty of flowers so having fresh, beautiful flowers was a top priority for me. However, nailing down the color scheme and aesthetic was not easy. I wanted to incorporate both my husband and I's tastes into our wedding but that was difficult to envision even in my own head, since we are total opposites! His favorite color is black, mine is pink. My preferred aesthetic is rustic chic, his is modern. He is minimalistic and I like the bling. However, Karen and her team executed our "best of both worlds" vision perfectly. Our wedding florals and decor was stunning -- it exceeded all of our expectations!Karen is very detail orientated and has a lot of experience in the wedding industry. I would show her some pictures or describe some obscure flowers and she included the EXACT flowers I mentioned in passing into our arrangements. I wanted to incorporate the color black into our color scheme and preferred a specific flower (black anemone) but it was unfortunately out of season. Karen recommended other options that we were going to go with but she surprised us on our wedding day and procured the flowers that were out of season! She also did our succulent wedding favors.She had worked our venue many times before so she was able to provide her experiences on how to plan a successful event there. The whole day went seamlessly! That is the power of industry knowledge. If you're having your event in Palos Verdes (or anywhere for that matter), you MUST hire Karen and her team. For those on a budget, she is also reasonably priced and even provided some decor item rentals for us as a courtesy. Karen is just the sweetest!! She loves what she does, and it shows! More...

Karen was one of my rockstar vendors of my wedding, and I am so glad we hired her for florals and ceremony coordination. Not only did she keep us on track for an ON TIME ceremony and help get everyone down the aisle smoothly, her floral designs knocked it out of the park. I received so many compliments on my gorgeous bouquet, which I am now drying because I couldn't bear to just let it die! She also had a bunch of different money-saving ideas for the florals, which were so helpful to us when we went over budget. I highly, highly recommend both parts of Karen's services! More...

This review is long overdue! I found Karen through our caterer, Critics Choice. She did the flowers for the centerpieces, which were included in our package, so we decided to have her to do the ceremony flowers and bouquets/boutonnieres. We also hired her as our ceremony coordinator. If I had to rank my decisions for the wedding, hiring Karen would be very close to first. We got married at Malibu West Beach Club, so right on the water, and in my mind flowers were not a huge priority. So imagine my surprise when I show up on my wedding day and am completely blown away. Karen stayed within my budget but also produced beautiful flowers. She also did a great job at making sure our ceremony ran smoothly. I highly recommend! More...

Not only is Karen an incredibly talented florist and coordinator, but she is one of the sweetest, most kind-hearted people I have ever met.  She was so professional and went above and beyond in her role as a day-of coordinator in helping me plan my wedding.  She met with me numerous times and provided invaluable guidance and advice.  Karen did the most BEAUTIFUL job with my flowers and kept my wedding running like a well-oiled machine.  The day was perfect, beautiful, and went on without a hitch thanks to her!

Karen is the dream coordinator and florist. Everything I could've ever wanted out of my wedding was perfectly executed by her, it was truly incredible to see my dream wedding come to life and I couldn't have done it with out Karen. She did my chuppah/arch flowers, centerpieces, aisle, table decor, basically everything! She is someone you need even when you think you've thought of everything, she has tons of years of experience in the industry so she knows all the little things and all the major things that matter. She's well organized, responds so quick, easy to work with and understands, respects and makes your vision come true! My wedding was flawless because of her and I can't thank her enough. Please if you are a bride to be reading this, do not waste your time looking for the cheapest option (Karen is actually super affordable) and settling for half of what you deserve. Please call Karen and her team and make your dreams wedding come to life you will not regret it! More...

We met with several florists when planning our wedding, and Karen's awesome personality, helpful information and ideas, and competitive pricing led us to booking her and it was by far one of the best decisions throughout the wedding planning process!  Karen was incredibly responsive to my emails and even connected us with a rental group that had much better prices than our venue for our rentals.  She also completely understood my vision for our flowers--I was completely blown away and emotional when I saw them on the day of our wedding! The bouquets, centerpieces and our arch and sweetheart backdrop were more beautiful than I ever imagined and we got compliments all night long.  The flowers were also very fresh and lasted for days afterwards.  Karen worked tirelessly and her hard work paid off with a stunning wedding. We are so thankful and appreciative that she was a part of our special day and that she helped it to be the most incredible day of our lives.  I could not recommend her highly enough!!! More...

Karen did our wedding July 2017, and I swear she made it so easy to create the image I was looking for. All of the flowers were so beautiful and fresh. They lasted for days afterward. Karen is so organized, efficient, nice, and her creations fit our budget. She also has great ideas to trim costs if you need help trying to figure that out. A pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her services More...

I got married on August 5 and I found Karen through Wedding Wire.  Karen was our day-of wedding coordinator as well as our florist. I do freelance wedding planning as well as floral arrangements so I understand the great value of having an extremely organized Type A team captain run the play-by-play.  -Pre-Wedding: I met with Karen ~2-3 timesThe first time I met with Karen was primarily to discuss floral arrangements and draping. Karen was very professional. She had swatches of different ribbons, overlays, etc... I also had a very strict budget and Karen was very accommodating and very helpful.  The second time I met up with Karen was at our venue. We walked through the entire venue to inventory our high-boys, round tables, etc...-Wedding Day: Everyone knows the wedding day is potentially the most stressful day for newlyweds. My husband and I drew up a very detailed minute-by-minute schedule for the wedding day.  I was very nervous about the schedule because our agreement with the venue was only for a certain amount of time. Karen and her team were on point and everything was executed perfectly. I didn't get to actually see the flowers until shortly before the wedding, but I was extremely happy when I did get to see them. They were gorgeous! A handful of our decoration (the Mr & Mrs sign, flameless candle votive) were on loan without charge from Karen.  She was also very thoughtful in the sense that she even took a picture of our ceremony site and showed it to me shortly before the wedding. Karen also made the post wedding clean-up stress free. She loaded up all of our stuff and took care of everything. Near perfect stress-free wedding day.All-in-all, I highly recommend Karen for any special events. She is extremely organized and very helpful. We would not have been able to have such an amazing wedding without her. More...

Karen is my right hand gal when it comes to florals and ceremony coordinating. She has an incredible work ethic and is one of the hardest working ladies I know. Everything she does, she puts her heart into ~ Have I mentioned  her floral arrangements are out of this world?! There is only one florist in the So Cal that I trust with my Weddings and that is Karen Satori and her hard working team  Thank you for all that you do Karen! More...

This review is long over-due: my wedding was on 3/5/16 and Karen did an amazing job with my flowers and decorations!! She is so calm and easy-going and she is also very professional and experienced. Her attention to detail reassured me from the start and she never made me feel like i was bugging her with all my questions and thoughts. I got so many compliments on my flowers and my photographer also noticed how beautiful my bouquet was. I would recommend Karen to anyone, in fact, i had referred her to a random person I met at the store who was panicking 1 month before her wedding and she didn't have a coordinator. Speaking of which, not only were the flowers and decorations beautiful, but Karen makes for an excellent coordinator and made sure I was ok and calm throughout my wedding day. Thank you, Karen, for everything!! More...

Karen is incredible wedding planner. We had our wedding in April at Terranea Resort, and she made the whole process so much easier. We truly can't imagine having to plan everything without her. Karen also was our florist, she really listen to what we wanted and brought every detail to life with beautiful flowers and arrangements. Planning a wedding is stressful, do yourself a favor and have a planner for as much time as you can afford, especially a planner like Karen.Thank you so much once again Karen! A&A More...

Karen was professional friendly and flexible.  We only hired her as our florist but she gave us great advice and references every time we met with her.  She was so helpful, I don't think we would have figured everything out on our own without her.  She even took a few photos for us during the ceremony.  Karen was a bit expensive for my budget but totally worth it. I would highly recommend her to anybody. Thank you Karen! More...

Wedding on 1/3/15 I worked with Karen as a coordinator. She was amazingly on point all night. I loved how organized she was, but also how easy she was to work with. She is excellent at what she does and goes above and beyond for her clients. She is worth every penny and more!!! She is very easy to talk to, and I can't even begin to state how at ease she always made everyone feel. She would respond to emails and texts sooo quickly, within minutes usually! More...
