About Peony & Plum

Susan Tom-Nellis

Custom florals & Stationery design

Peony & Plum’s floral creations are designed with more than just aesthetics in mind. When you choose our work we believe you are “inviting” our designs to be part of your event. It’s an honor we don’t take lightly. We believe floral design can add an unspoken message to your occasion. Beyond visual impact, Peony & Plum embraces the idea that floral design can set the tone of a stylish corporate event, a bride’s bouquet can whisper an intimate sentiment to the groom, and centerpieces can exude coziness even at a grand celebration.

Susan brings a fresh approach to floral design – having grown up in colorful and casual Honolulu, Hawaii, she fuses these island sentiments with her understanding of composition and form gained from her studies of painting and photography at UCLA’s prestigious Department of Art. Add to the mix, Susan’s previous experience as a Creative Director in advertising and marketing, and you’ve got a talented woman who keeps calm under pressure. Susan’s unique background leads to floral creations that are sophisticated yet whimsical, where traditional elements live happily alongside the unexpected.

Beautiful Florals Amazing Communication
From our very first meeting, I knew I was in good hands. I had a very specific vision for my wedding florals, and Susan truly listened to every detail I shared. She took the time to understand the color palette, style, and overall feeling I wanted to create, while also offering thoughtful suggestions that made everything even better. Planning with Susan was one of the most enjoyable parts of the wedding process. She was so easy to talk to, incredibly responsive, and genuinely excited about bringing my vision to life. I never felt like I was being talked into something else, instead, she embraced my ideas and elevated them with her creativity and expertise. When I walked into my venue on my wedding day, I was completely blown away. Every arrangement was even more beautiful than I had imagined. The flowers were vibrant, elegant, and perfectly reflected the colorful, romantic atmosphere I had envisioned. It was clear how much care and attention went into every single detail, and I'm so thankful. If you're looking for a florist who truly listens, is fun to work with, and delivers beyond your expectations, I cannot recommend Peony & Plum enough. They played such a huge part in making our wedding feel so beautiful, and I'll always be grateful for everything they created.
