    Fabulous Florals!!

    Ashley and the NOLA FLORA Flower Ninjas did absolutely incredible work on all the floral aspects of our October destination wedding! Everything was so beautiful! From my bridal bouquet, to the table arrangements, and even a little something for the easel with our fur baby welcome sign! The asymmetric arches for our ceremony were perfect and so gorgeous! It was all that we envisioned and more! I can’t thank Ashley enough and highly recommend NOLA FLORA!

    Everything I Needed and More

    NOLAFlora was perfect! My flowers were gorgeous and Ashley was amazing and a consummate professional. All of my questions were answered timely and all of my requests were done with perfection. The day of my wedding, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They worked directly with my venue and when I arrived, everything was set up. I cannot rave enough about my experience with NOLAFlora! I highly recommend! Worth every penny!

    Beautiful flowers!

    We absolutely loved the flowers that were made for our wedding. Nola flora (Ashley in Particular) was so easy to work with and coordinate. She made the process stress free and really made us exactly what we wanted. Thank you!

    Amazing from day 1

    We are locals and had our wedding in New Orleans...there were some hiccups in our wedding, but the flowers and everything they did in the courtyard was absolutley PERFECT ! Creative, kind, hard working flower ninjas is what Ashley and her team are.... and thankfully this part of our wedding will be remembered and talked about forever. Guests are still talking about the flowers!

    I absolutely loved the flowers I ordered for my wedding day. The ladies at NOLAFLORA were amazing. I got married this year on mother's day weekend. The girls there asked me to send a pinterest account and although I had many accounts I could not select one that would quite define what I wanted to instead i sent an email. The amazing ladies were able to piece together my thoughts into one cohesive thought. They sent me a plan and then i edited changing cetain colors, requesting certain flowers and cutting some of my original crazy thoughts on eucalyptus. At the meeting they young lady was kind and patient as I butchered the plan with a red pen. If I was her I would have wanted to ring my neck. But she didnt, She smiled, she waited and the owner even sent me an orchid to smell. You could tell they really enjoyed the beauty and fragrances and their heart to share with the world. I ended up going with white hydrangeas and light purple orchid florets with champagne ribbon for the bridesmaids, light purple orchids for groomsman, a gardenia for the groom, gardenias for my hair and hanging orchid, gardenias and ( i forget the name) something similar to an Orange Blossom hanging in a bouquet that is vintage late 1800s. They created my bouquet as a replica of a photo I sent them of my Great Grandmother's wedding bouquet. Very unique with ribbon hanging and smaller bouquet hanging, When I sat with the young lady who took my order I was nervous if she was understanding that I wanted it to look as close to that bouquet as she could. She said she would try her best. Sure enough their best was awesome. On the "day of" the delivery person found me in the chaos of our hotel room, asked me to check out their work and I was floored. They had matched her bouquet perfectly. I used the fresh gardenias in my hair and I felt like a million bucks. I felt like myself. Not some uppity bride but the simplicity of the work I requested needed a killer florist and they nailed it!!!

    Ashley at NOLA Flora was very professional. She always promptly returned phone calls and emails, had no problem with late changes, completed the order exactly like the photos I sent to her, and was reasonably priced. On the day of the wedding, the staff worked with me to set up the room beautifully.

    NOLA FLORA was a joy to work with. I was planning this wedding out of state and they accommodated my schedule when I'd fly in at unusual times to take care of wedding details. I really wanted a lot of color in our bouquets and wanted some creativity with succulents and pushing the envelope of coral and turquoise colors. They nailed it!

    I loved how colorful the bouquets and two large arrangements and flower girl flower balls turned out, but I really loved the groomsmen boutonniere's where they used succulents. So creative!

    I didn't have to worry about any of the details of when the flowers were arriving to the church or the hotel for the first look. NOLA FLORA is so experienced, they knew the venues and what to do.

    When we decided to have a destination wedding on St. Croix, I began looking around for florists on the island. I wasn't excited about not being able to see the work in person so a friend recommended Ashley at NOLA Flora. She was amazing and so accommodating!! The colors she recommended were perfect for an island wedding!! My flowers were all packed and ready for the flight. We left on Thursday and the wedding was on Saturday and they still looked great!! Thanks so much for making my day so beautiful, Ashley!!

    Nola Flora was INCREDIBLE! My flowers were absolutely stunning, I could not have asked for better work.
    The staff was so nice and easy to work with. They completely understood what I was looking for and took all of the favorites from my pictures and made a masterpiece! I'm in LOVE with everything they did!

    The entire staff at NOLA-FLORA made my wedding flower experience spectacular! Ashley & her "flower ninjas" were awesome & fun to work with. I had a vision in my head of what I wanted my flowers to look like and NOLA-FLORA made the vision in my head a reality...and it all happened within my budget. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. Tara Lin

    NOLA-FLORA did an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding! Ashley was so easy-going, and her work is amazing. Everything was more beautiful than I ever imagined. The centerpieces and candles at the reception were just stunning! And I SO loved my bridal bouquet!!! Really, I think I loved everything :)

    I contacted NOLA FLORA at the very last minute regarding personal flowers for my wedding. As I was not doing any decoration or centerpieces, I didn't make flowers a priority, but in spite of my last minute request, Ashley and her colleagues were able to work with me to get everything I needed. My bouquet, bouts and corsages were beautiful and perfectly matched the vision I had in my head. My bouquet in particular was so rich, deep and beautiful, and I love the way it pops in all my pictures. My photographer was super excited when she heard I was working with NOLA FLORA, which should tell you something about the quality of their work! Communication with them was great and they delivered the flowers right on time to my hotel suite. I'm so pleased my coordinator recommended them.

    The flowers at our wedding were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I envisioned. Ashley was a complete joy to work with and alleviated my fears of being an out-of-town bride. My bridesmaids had different color dresses and Ashley had me email her photographs of their dresses along with floral arrangements that I liked. Ashley and the Nola-Flora staff were able to create bouquets and arrangements that complimented the rich hues that each of my bridesmaids wore, and my bouquet was stunning! Any changes or extras that I wanted to add were never an issue. I can't begin to thank Nola-Flora for making this bride's day a dream come true.

    Angela Darrah with Nola Flora created a gorgeous arch, beautiful bouquets and lovely centerpieces for our October 2012 wedding at the Audubon Clubhouse - everything looked perfect! After Angela & Nola Flora did florals for my sister's wedding in April 2012, I was confident & so happy that we went with them, too. From the first appointment with Angela, I knew that we would be in good hands. She is so easy-going and was the coolest, kindest, most patient & genuinely enthusiastic about planning with us - love her! She has an incredible talent to create exactly what you are looking for. I brought in some photos & colors, used descriptions such as "elegant", "romantic", "natural", "simple", "freshly picked", "organic" ... and she just got it. Often times she was finishing my sentences! Doing 2 weddings for 2 sisters in one family - in the same year - could be seen as challenging, but Angela embraced our different tastes and made our weddings uniquely fit our own style. She was also very supportive in the choices and made wonderful suggestions and alternatives, especially if I changed my mind on a detail. Visiting the Nola Flora boutique on Magazine Street is a sweet trip - their store is super cute and the staff is friendly; I got to chat with Ashley some when I was there, too - just the whole vibe is fun & easy-going. Their time, energy & talent is impressive and I would highly recommend working with them because they are extremely reliable, communicative, they know flowers!, and they will work hard to create the look & feel that you prefer. The investment is worth it! Angela & Nola Flora helped make our wedding day be the most beautiful, romantic, and special one that we wanted it to be. And for that, we are forever grateful!

    Ashley was wonderful! I'm not a big flower person; I only knew the colors I wanted & didn't want. She guided me in the right direction & was able to keep everything in my budget. She has a very nice, neat & organized shop which says a lot about a business.
    She was on top of everything as the day got closer. I didn't have to worry about anything. The flowers were delivered everywhere on time & they were absolutely beautiful!

    Ashley started out as my florist and ended up as my friend. Her skill and inventiveness have resulted in fabulous arrangements that wow time and time again. With a meager budget, she was able to transform my French Quarter courtyard wedding into a vibrant, fragrant, and elegant paradise. Using inventive touches like curled lilygrass, wrapped leaves, and other effects, my flowers were absolutely stunning. With contacts for exotic Ecuadorian roses like the Leonidas rose she used for my wedding, it was amazing how unique the bouquets looked. Whether the look is contemporary or classic, Ashley's abilities and broad portfolio can handle it all. The only thing I would have changed is spending a bit more on my arrangements so that my reception could have smelled even lovelier, and keeping with the rich, vibrant theme she'd advised me towards originally instead of being stubborn with the centerpieces!

    Ashley at Nola Flora did a beautiful job with our flowers for our wedding 12/19/09. In particular, the pieces at the reception site were creative and absolutely perfect. Highly recommend! Also, I didn't know a lot about specific flowers, only the general idea of what I liked and didn't. Ashley was super creative and made it easy on us!

    ashley is the best! she's so creative and she's very nice. she's very relaxed and calm, which makes it a pleasure to be around her in general but especially as a bride! things get crazy and she just rolls with it. i changed my mind a bunch and she basically took in all my ideas every time. the final product was a little bit from every idea i had come up with and my flowers were GORGEOUS! i wanted lots of green, jade green roses, green hydrangea, green hypericum berries, green simbidium orchids. they looked so good. she mixed in whites and pinks and my arrangements were awesome. she did submerged belles of ireland, in water filled cylinders, for our outdoor ceremony and it looked so uniquel. everyone was talking about what gorgeous flowers we had. we didn't do any other decorations, just the flowers, and everything was beautiful. plus, my bouquet brought me to tears, it was so pretty. ashley listens to what you have to say and adds in her creative knowledge to make the best finished product. she and her staff had everything set up on time and there were no problems at all on the wedding day. definitely use NOLA FLORA!

    The ladies at NOLA FLORA were so great and the flowers at our wedding were all so gorgeous! Everything showed up on time and looked amazing. I am a little high maintenance and it was hard to get in touch with them sometimes through email but I know they are so busy. When we met in person they were extremely helpful and they were so patient with me and all of my changes and questions throughout the process!

    Working with Ashley was a dream! She is creative but also honest about budgets and works with you to make it happen. I didn't have a lot of specific requests for my flowers and she did a great job drilling down on what I wanted and on the day of - I was amazed at how beautiful everything was. Ashley is creative and excellent at what she does. Any bride would be lucky to work with her!

    Wedding flowers

    NolaFlora did our wedding flowers for our destination wedding. Ashley was super accommodating and easy to work with. She gave me lots of great ideas and was very conscious of my budget. She was just excited about making flowers for the bridles of the horses for my horse drawn carriage entrance as I was! The flowers turned out even better than I had imagined!
    Highly recommend!

    Ashley with Nola Flora is a sweet, fun lady who easily got the vision I had for our wedding. She was patient and worked with me to stay in my strict budget. All of the flowers and arrangements came out gorgeous! She even did our rehearsal dinner flowers! I highly recommend them!

    Ashley is a great Florist! I had no idea as to what I wanted in my wedding flowers, as I am not very familiar with names and seasons of flowers. I finally just told her the colors that I wanted and any flowers that I didn't like and she did the rest! The bridesmaids bouquets were so beautiful and matched the dresses so perfectly! Everything was wonderful and she was right on time delivering everything and setting it all up.

    Nola floral was not the choice we went with so you may not want to use my review as gospel. I will say they were extremely professional and helpful in our consultation. However, they were VERY pricey. I will say, the work I saw was BEAUTIFUL. However, I am happy with the florist I went with in the end.

    Nola Flora created a beautiful event that went just as we had hoped! They are wonderful to work with and very professional. They do a lot of weddings in new orleans, so sometimes the communication is difficult via email. However, they always have the best products in the end! Thank you for our wonderful event!

    Nola Flora was recommended to us by another vendor, and they seemed to have good reviews so after meeting with Ashley, we decided to go with them. Everyone was very nice throughout the process, but there were some difficulties. Ashley met with us a few times, but my husband and I always felt like nothing got done after the meetings. She typed up the contract in a word document after we met and listed several flower types that she would use. We looked at some pictures while we were there but never got a sense of what the flowers would look like together. I did change my colors a couple of times but that was months in advance of the wedding. I sent her several emails of pictures of flower colors and arrangements that I liked, but she never incorporated the changes or responded to anything until the night before she needed me to finalize the contract. I had met with another florist before we had decided to go with Nola Flora and that florist had all types of flowers in her shop that she pulled together to show me what they looked like in person as well as pictures of arrangements which was very helpful. With Nola Flora, I was left Google-ing all the flowers she listed in my flower plan to see what everything looked like and some of the pictures I found weren't even the right flowers (clearly, I'm not a florist). I would call to check in during the process to make sure everything was ok with my ideas, but I never heard anything back until, like I said, right before the wedding. I will say that Ashley was willing to work with our budget and get the price down so that helped. They also delivered to my bridal prep, the church, and the reception which was very convenient. Unfortunately, I hated my bouquet and am so so sad about that. I had given her a very specific picture that I wanted replicated for my bouquet, but the one I got was hideous. I also HATED the boutonnieres and pin on corsages! They looked like funeral flowers, so disgusting. The arrangements turned out nice

    NOLA-FLORA provided fresh flowers for our wedding and reception that were jaw-droppingly beautiful. I was so pleased with how amazing the floral arrangements, candles, and other decorations decorated the courtyard where we held both events.

    Our only critique is the professionalism and responsiveness of NOLA-FLORA. We had many instances during the planning stages of our wedding where we repeatedly called and emailed (during business hours) to get in contact with the florist regarding critical details, and did not get a response for several days.

    I'll try to make this quick and to the point:

    The arrangements we did receive were no doubt gorgeous. However, what we got was not what we paid for. We felt that NOLA Flora charged us for what we wanted, then gave us all possible substitutes. The bridesmaids' bouquets were ordered to be all pink peonies, and they came as mostly white with a few really pale pink peonies. The groomsmen's boutonnieres were ordered to be pink ranunculus, and came as pink roses. We understood that what we wanted might not be available on our date 2 weeks prior, but it felt odd that nothing we wanted was available. The bride's bouquet was ordered to be cascading, and came out not so much. At the church, we paid for 2 column rentals, which we didn't want in the first place and were not even there. At the reception, we paid for 3 sweetheart table arrangements, and only got 1 (with no reimbursement). At the last minute, we ended up needing to rent an acrylic column from them and surprisingly, we were charged $300 from NOLA Flora for 1 while the reception hall charged us $100 for 2 similar ones.

    When we contacted NOLA Flora after the big day (about just half the things that disappointed us), we were given a rude response. NOLA Flora claimed that we were always in the wrong, stating how she discussed those things with us before the day. When in fact she did not because we would have talked about reimbursements, since we essentially got less than what we paid for. And she knew we were over the discussed budget. Eventually, she recredited the charge for the last-minute acrylic column rental, but never apologized for anything.

    Furthermore, what others have said about responsiveness is true, it is not immediate. Once, I had to come in just for her to send me an email the next day. But their flexibility on a last-min change was superb, besides the surprising charge. I'd only recommend NOLA Flora if you've got the $ and don't need those rare flowers, otherwise, it's not worth it.

    Our Bridesmaids Bouquets were exactly what I dreamed of along with our groomsmen's. My bouquet was not what I expected it was already browning by the time the flowers got to me and it was mostly filler instead of the actual flowers. I understood that the flowers were delicate but when I first picked up the bouquet at 10am they should have been a crisp white. There was also alot more filler flowers then I had thought had known all of this I probably would have changed my bouquet from anemones to something else. We also were suppose to get gardenia boutoineres for my uncle and father as that flower... This was extremely important as it was a symbol of my grandmother who had passed away. We paid extra for them and only got them for our mothers. The cost of the flowers was around $1300 for Bouquets and boutionere's.

    I also asked my idiot of a wedding planner Merideth Reed with Belle Soiree to ask about hair flowers and petals. We never got the price of them but they showed up and my credit card was charged $350 for 100 rose petals and three hair flowers. When I told the owner about this she apologized and said she would refund the $350 and the gardenia corsages we didn't get. But we never did get a refund. It's been 3 years.

    I would say that the photos from my wedding remind me of my dead bouquet but I never got my wedding photos from my photographer... and my wedding video from Dyle Films was so horrible it looked like they found people off the street to film it.

    Yes, We Signed a Non Refundable Contract for a Wedding... Then Covid Changed it All

    I was mother of the bride and my daughter's wedding was scheduled in New Orleans for June 2020. We signed a contract with NOLA Flora long before we ever heard the word COVID. In March of 2020 the wedding invitations had already been mailed and the wedding was planned and contracted for over 200 guests at a local church and indoor reception venue. There is no denying this contract with Nola Flora was non refundable and a big lesson learned on our end .... alway protect yourself from the unforeseeable. Nola Flora collected 11k from us on signing for a 50% deposit of the estimated floral budget for the wedding. When things shut down and it became obvious the June wedding would not be able to occur, we made the decision to reschedule to Dec 4, 2020. Nola Flora happily let us roll the contract to the Dec date with no problem. As Dec began to approach, it was still obvious the city mandates were not going to allow us to host the 200+ indoor wedding. At this point we made the hard decision to pull out of New Orleans and the wedding was reschedule for the spring of 2021 in Florida. Ashley, owner of NOLA Flora, was asked and was most willing to travel and fulfill the contract at the new Florida venue if her scheduling allowed. As you can imagine, many factors went into rescheduling and replanning the wedding. The date which we ultimately had to choose was not one on which NOLA Flora could travel. This was very understandable by us. At this point, we asked to be released from the contract. We asked Ashley if she would consider keeping 3k of the 11k as a payment for her time and the time she had spent on our design plan for the wedding that never occurred in New Orleans. We felt this to be a fair offer and had hoped she would see it that way. There was not going to be any flowers, goods or services delivered to us going forward by Nola Flora. Although Ashley was not legally required to return any portion of our monies, it was most disappointing to us that she chose to stick fully to the contract and not reach some sort of agreement with our family. It also can not be denied that our contracted indoor wedding was not allowed on the June 2020 or Dec 2020 dates as per New Orlean's city mandates imposed by mayor in her phased Covid reopening plan. This was by far our most disappointing experience with any vendor and none of the $11,000 was refunded.
