Working with Deena and Sweet Roots Farm was a truly wonderful experience. She was kind, beyond accommodating of our needs as a queer/trans wedding with lots of queer/trans participants, and we loved the chance to work with a farm. Deena was also super accessible before, during, and after the wedding for delivery and pick up as we coordinated some unexpected last minute changes in our getting ready venue -- which we definitely appreciated!The craftsmanship and vision she brought to the final product was beyond what we could have imagined! We can't thank Sweet Roots enough for helping bring our day to glorious, fall-colored life. We were showered in floral-related compliments by our guests and family (and by the staff at our post-wedding brunch, many of whom snagged some flowers to take home!).(And a huge shout out to our wonderful photographer, Katherine Elyse Media. You can find her on IG: instagram.com/lovekemediaor on her website: katherineelysemedia.com)

Deena and her team are beyond incredible!! She came highly recommended to us and exceeded our expectations!!We took advantage of her offer to visit her on her farm and got to see and, with her help, choose the flowers that we wanted. She built on the initial vision that we had and created the most amazing florals.We and our guests were in awe of the beauty and artistry of every arrangement, from the breathtaking Chuppa, to the most unusual and beautiful boutonnieres anyone had ever seen. Each one of the centerpieces, whether the greenery or the florals, was perfect. Even the arrangement in the bathroom was unparalleled.Deena is truly an artist and so, so wonderful to work with.10000/10!!!

We had another incredible experience with Deena and her Sweet Roots Farm. She provided the most beautiful, fresh cut and unique flowers for both of our kids’ weddings. We wouldn’t choose anyone else!! She gives love and passion to all of her work, and she truly cares about every detail in making dreams come true! We are forever grateful for all of her efforts and dedication to her craft. She is one special lady- such a pleasure to work with!! Thank you for your tireless time and devotion that is put into growing such beauty, for sharing it with us, and for delivering once again more than we could ask for!!

Deena/Sweet Roots Farm did the flowers for my wedding this past May. The flowers were exquisite and Deena was professional, responsive, organized, kind, and just very talented. She helped me from start to finish plan exactly what I wanted, asked great questions, offered tips on arrangements (I had my friend arrange bulk blooms), and delivered the flowers to our venue. She incorporated my favorite flowers of the season- peonies and daisies and so many other beautiful surprises! Deena was so enthusiastic and supportive the whole way through. Thanks for making my wedding-flower-dreams come true. Don't miss a chance to support this beautiful woman and business.

The flowers are incredible. But the farmers? The farmers are THE BEST HUMANS. Incredibly kind and hardworking and super knowledgeable. You won't be disappointed.

Such a unique florist that grows all her own florals. Deena is super hands on and gives everything that personal touch. If you're getting florals for a big event definitely meet with her and get a tour of the farm! She's very warm, knowledgeable and accommodating. I needed that hippy wildflower vibe and this place was exactly what I was looking for.

Deena and team are the BEST!!!! Wow wow wow is all I can say. They made our wedding incredibly magical. We were so happy to work with someone so thoughtful and caring. Everything - all bouquets, arrangements and more - were gorgeous. It was such a joy to know that we had flowers that were grown locally. I had requested a French-style, colorful bouquet and Sweet Roots nailed it. Deena was so wonderful to work with, too. I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Thank you, Deena and team!

Deena and her team at Sweet Roots Farm are amazing. First, Deena is likely the sweetest person on the planet. From the minute we spoke over the phone we were all in! Her passions for sustainable farming and floral arranging are inspiring. Our wedding was held at the Holbrooke Hotel in Grass Valley, and we wanted the florals to be front and center! Deena and her team 1000% delivered. They installed a beautiful arch in front of the Purcell Carriage house that lives in my mind rent free. Deena even foraged some golden fern on the way back from another wedding and incorporated it into the bouquets and arch. The perfect addition to our autumnal palette. She and her team worked tirelessly executing our vision, and we couldn’t be more grateful. After the event, our flowers were donated to various hospice and long-term care facilities so they could continue to bring joy to those that need it most. I can’t wait to work with Deena again, her work is true art. Thank you Sweet Roots!

We had the pleasure of working with Deena over the last couple of years of planning and re-planning our Tahoe Vista wedding - originally set for September 2020 and eventually happening in September 2021 - and we only have the very best things to say about her and about our experience with Sweet Roots Farm & Floral. Deena puts the "sweet" in Sweet Roots - she is incredibly warm, fun to work with, and her passion for flowers is so special to witness. And of course, she and her team are exceedingly talented. We couldn't have been happier with the beautiful work she did for us, taking my vague description of our floral vision and executing it flawlessly. Her commitment to her work shines through in every boutonniere, bouquet and table arrangement, with each flower so clearly having been chosen with love and care. She and her team arranged a breathtaking ground floral arch that served as the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, and I hadn't cried on our wedding day until she personally brought me my stunning bouquet that immediately brought me to tears. If you have the opportunity to visit her and her lovely family at their farm, it gives you a glimpse into how much care Deena and her team put into each and every flower lovingly planted, grown and eventually arranged. Her dedication to bringing your floral vision to life starts from the moment she plants the seeds and it is clear that she cultivates her flowers with each person she will eventually arrange it for in mind. We felt so much love in our flowers. They were perfect. Deena, your work is as special and beautiful as you are! Thank you!

This review is long over due!Dustin and I had our wedding on 9/27/2020, and needless to say, Sweet Roots Farm nailed it on my vision for floral decor. My husband let me do all the picking in this arena. ?You never know exactly what you are going to get till the day of, which made me so nervous because I’m a particular person - which is why I loved the fact that Sweet Roots Farm sends you a questionnaire to learn of your likes and dislikes, favorite colors, and even sizes of preferred arrangements. I even had an opportunity to attach Pinterest picture ideas to be a specific as possible.I can’t express how much I loved the final product for the floral and garland arrangements. It was like a dream come true, Thank you Sweet Root Farm (Deena specifically) for making my day so beautifully special!You will not be disappointed if you hired this crew.They are so easy to work with and do a great job professionally and with design and vision.We also hired them for full service, which is set up of the floral arrangements. They were on time, and placed everything perfectly!Photos attached. It was totally us! ??

Deena is an absolute dream! The entire process from start to finish was beautiful. We had to change our entire wedding plans due to COVID about a month before the ceremony and she handled everything with poise and grace. Not only is Deena an amazing floral designer and farmer but she's also so creative. She met with me to discuss my vision, sent over a vision board and even recommended photographers to match my aesthetic. Our flowers were the most gorgeous and even cooler - they were grown and picked FOR US - not flown in from somewhere out of state. Highly recommend Deena to bring your vision to life. Thank you!

Beautiful flowers that I felt good about buying. The fact these are home-grown florals filled my heart with joy and peace. I was happy to support a local farm, for a great price, for my beautiful wedding florals. With little direction (I'm no florist!), Sweet Roots was able to provide bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, centerpieces and more for our big day. Another aspect of this business I loved was the owner's calming and peaceful presence. Many wedding vendors I worked with were hurried, harried, and in a time of my own wedding planning stress, Sweet Roots was focused, mindful and such a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend their services.

Wow, what a beautiful experience. I used Sweet Roots for my floral design and out of all of our wedding vendors, Deena was surely the most calming, pleasant, kind, and supportive to work with. We told her "lots of color" and she took it from there! My husband and I were overwhelmed (and our family members as well) with the vibrant, beautiful florals that really matched the feeling of our low-key wedding in Truckee. The pricing was fantastic and Deena worked closely with us to do delivery. We had beautiful pieces for our mothers, grandmothers, fathers and brothers that each person has saved as a keepsake from our special day. Being unfamiliar with floral design, it was such a relief to hand it over to Deena to come up with ideas. Her calming presence on the phone (and entertaining social media presence!) helped my partner and I recenter during a pretty stressful time of planning. Thank you Sweet Roots!

Really happy with the beautiful organic flowers we received in a last minute Bulk Bucket order. Deena was very sweet and the farm is just breath taking! Definitely worth it to support this local Flower Farm.

Working with Sweet Roots Farm was a highlight of wedding planning! Deena is so talented at growing and putting together flowers. She was also so wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and great at asking good questions about what we wanted. I would recommend Sweet Roots to anyone looking for flowers for any event!
