Daughter of a Texas Cattle Rancher, I grew up in a small town in the Texas Panhandle. I chose a practical route first in life and proceeded to make my mark as a finance executive with Morgan Stanley. As my world expanded, so did my understanding that my true love was always based in the creative. Seeking a new path, I was ready to trade in corporate life for one based on beauty.
I enrolled in the Jane Packer Flower School in London. There I learned the art of the European hand-tie, a difficult but highly effective floristry technique that uses the natural architecture of the flowers to create not only a beautiful but also durable and long-lasting bouquet. I returned with the motivation to bring the natural beauty of custom designs to you.

Suzanne consistently has the most amazing flowers. Fresh, beautiful, long lasting and creative are only a few words to describe them. She has been assisting me with my flower needs for years now. From my wedding to birthdays and just because days! Always on time, always fresh and never refrigerated. Suzanne rises to the occasion and is always so responsive. If you have ever taken a class from her you know how passionate she is. Thank you Suzanne.

Suzanne's work is beautiful; she did arrangements for my daughter's baby shower last year and it was perfection! Also, she was kind enough to sell me her wood carved stag head , right off the wall...i love it! As an Interior Designer, I am always looking to make recommendatons for exceptional services to my clients, Suzanne is one of them!

While my experience as a recipient of Suzanne Cummings Flowers is on par with the 5-star reviews, I decided to order some flowers since I trusted their style.
Unfortunately my experience as a sender was less than satisfactory. Having requested the flowers to be delivered on a Tuesday, the store had apparently experienced some unexpected hiccups causing them to close for the day and hold all deliveries. As a result, they also neglected to inform their customers of the situation.

Suzanne Cummings is incredible. Her attitude, perspective, creativity, and enthusiasm is unbelievable. The flowers that come out of the beautiful shop are imaginative, innovative, timeless, and ridiculously fresh. Highly recommended- I would go back again and again. It is the type of shop you enter just to be inspired.

Suzanne is more then a florist... when she creates her specialty bouquets they are beyond works of art. It is like a total "sensory experience" The way the stems of the flowers are formed and then wrapped in plastic filled with water, you don't need a vase it can stand up by the stems and its already so lovely to look at. It looks awesome sitting out, a very unique concept. And the presentation was really impressive, she took the time to put them into a beautiful box with black rope carrying handles, that frankly is too nice to throw out...I have to use it to lug stuff around
