  Gorgeous and fairly priced

  Monique did not disappoint! We absolutely loved our wedding flowers. She really look time to understand our vision. Compared to other florists in the area, she charged reasonable prices for great quality. She comes and sets up herself, making sure everything looks perfect. Love knowing we supported a small, family-run business. Highly recommend!

  Monique was recommended to us by our venue, the John Joseph Inn, and I don't know if we would have found her otherwise - she is a truly a hidden gem! She did an absolutely amazing job, and for an extremely reasonable price. She was super responsive throughout the process (and we live in NYC so it was important to be able to communicate via email/phone) and we felt very comfortable with her throughout. I literally knew nothing about flowers but just had some photos of things I thought I liked, and she made me feel very comfortable describing what she could do and how it would all look. She gave us helpful recommendations on what would and wouldn't look good, how to get the best use of our dollars with certain flowers, etc. She is also just a DELIGHTFUL person overall - she was literally the one fixing my train and making sure my bouquet and veil were perfect before walking down the aisle. And, she gave our dog lots of treats :) Above and beyond her florist duties and definitely made our wedding day amazing. Thank you Monique!!

  My wedding has not arrived yet so I can't speak to final product but only to the initial stages of planning. Monique knows her stuff, and is honest with you if the flowers you want are in season or in your budget. She finds other options to help you with your vision and has calmed my nerves multiple times over email. I've sent her lots of pictures, including of me and my dress, the possible groom/groomsmen colors and possible bouquets and she has given me great feedback and ideas. I highly recommend!!!

  Monique at French Lavender did a beautiful job with flowers for our wedding. I went into our first meeting with only a few vague ideas of what I wanted to do for flowers. After showing Monique just a couple of inspiration pictures, she was able to offer lots of wonderful suggestions and help design the perfect bouquets and boutonnieres. Her prices were the best I found anywhere, her work was very high quality, and she was so easy to work with! She was flexible when I had to add a few additional floral arrangements to the original order. My bridal bouquet and all of the bridesmaids' bouquets were gorgeous and held up perfectly throughout the whole night - my bridal bouquet was still beautiful even a few days later when we left for our honeymoon! The boutonnieres matched perfectly with the bouquets. Monique was able to design exactly what I wanted (when I didn't even know what I wanted!). I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a personable, professional, and skilled florist.

  Monique is AMAZING to work with for weddings! Flowers were one of the things that I had on the top of my list as far as what was important to me, and Monique’s arrangements were as beautiful as my dreams!! I went in looking for mostly spring flowers for an August wedding, and she was able to suggest perfect alternatives that I ended up loving more than my original pictures. She got the colors perfect, and created beautiful pieces in cut glass vases that guests commented on all night!! I also asked for flowers for my hair, and she added on attachments that the hairdressers said they’d never seen before, and were so appreciative of. The hair flowers and also boutonnières that she comes and pins herself stayed put all night! I also asked for some unusual touches, like four small tossing bouquets that would separate when tossed, and she executed them perfectly. I decided to reuse the flowers from the ceremony at the reception, and Monique and I had discussed me finding a family member to carry them over from the ceremony site to the reception site, but she surprised me the day of by staying through the ceremony and bringing them over herself!! She also left vases for the bridesmaids and bridal bouquets at the reception so they had water. It was SO thoughtful and above and beyond what I could have asked for. She also lets you leave rented vases at the reception site and she picks them up herself, leaving you with less hassle the day after. I think that my wedding weekend might also be her son’s birthday weekend, and there was flooding in Ithaca that weekend that effected her as well, but she still went out of her way to make my day special. She even spread my train for me before I started down the aisle with my dad. Her prices are really great for what she provides, and I recommend French Lavender Florist for your wedding three times over. Thank you so much, Monique, for all you did for us! It was really incredible, and I am so grateful.

  They were amazing! Quick to respond to questions during the planning process and on our wedding day, the flowers were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!

  Hands down, French Lavender is THE place to go for flowers, especially for weddings and other events! Monique is WONDERFUL at what she does! From our first meeting with her, she looked at the big picture and understood our vision for the flowers and design at our wedding. We found that the ideas she suggested were ideas we had already been thinking of but had not yet expressed - we were clearly on the same page!
  
  Monique worked within our budget and put together some AMAZING Fall wildflower arrangements. We were particular that we wanted local, wildflowers to be used and she certainly came through! She took the time to understand what we wanted and spent more time than she needed visiting the reception location and putting together a vision for the design of our ceremony and reception space. Quite simply, the wedding day would not have had the atmosphere it did without Monique.
  
  We had SO MANY guests complimenting us on the flowers and those guests who took home centerpieces raved about the flowers for two more weeks! I cannot recommend Monique and French Lavender more highly - you will not be disappointed!

  Monique at French Lavender came highly recommended by my Venue and I can see why. I planned my wedding in Ithaca from NYC so was unable to meet with her that often to go over ideas. Over a few emails and photos, Monique put together a mock up for my bridal bouquet, groom's corsage, and the centerpieces that were absolutely perfect. She was full of information and helpful suggestions. I rented my ceremony aisle decor, etc from her as well which was perfect. We ended up with 2 less tables at the reception than I originally told her and she arranged them into vases for the cocktail hour with no extra charge. The centerpieces were beautiful and I received many compliments on them. Her pricing is completely reasonable (I actually think it was the best "deal/price" we got in the grand scheme of the wedding.)
  My only complaint is that Monique didn't bring over the bouquets and corsages until 3:45 when the wedding was starting at 4:30. My husband and I did a "First Look" so we have no formal photos with our flowers, which is unfortunate.
