Black Swan Floral Design

Leah was our florist for our October 2025 wedding, and she was an absolute dream to work with. She’s one of the sweetest and most genuine people you’ll meet — incredibly attentive, creative, and so easy to collaborate with. From our very first conversation, she truly listened to what I envisioned and brought it to life in a way that completely exceeded my expectations.

On the day of our wedding, I was in awe. The colors, the arrangements, the overall design — it all felt like something out of a fairytale. It was magical, more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Every detail was flawless, a true reflection of Leah’s talent and dedication.

My only regret is not being able to thank her in person! She was not only professional and organized but also offered thoughtful recommendations that perfectly captured the atmosphere I was hoping for. Leah is amazing — if you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate. Choose her. You will not regret it.

Black Swan Floral

Leah of Black Swan Floral is a true artist! She did all the florals and tabletop decor for my 9/30/23 wedding at Lake Placid Lodge, and I've never seen anything more stunning. I gave her a moodboard early on for a somewhat unique design direction and she totally nailed exactly what I wanted. All of the guests were blown away. She is super easy to work with, friendly, and understanding. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Beautiful floral designs!

We partnered with Black Swan Floral Design for our wedding on 9/16 and could not have been happier with how everything turned out! Leah was awesome to work with, listening to what we wanted and working with us throughout the process. I was so amazed by how beautiful the flowers turned out, from our deconstructed arbor for the ceremony to the dinner table centerpieces and the floral designs over the fireplaces, it was truly magical! Leah has a fantastic creative eye that aligned so well with our vision. We absolutely recommend Leah and Black Swan Floral Design team!!

Incredible!

Leah was amazing to work with! She was extremely responsive and her work was incredible! I really don't know much about flowers and gave her some reference photos/overall colors we wanted and she knocked it out of the park! Everyone was talking about how beautiful and unique her work was! Highly recommend hiring Leah as your florist!!

Incredible.

Leah is an artist. Our wedding turned out better than any of the pinterest "inspiration" photos I had. I know nothing about flowers or candles or tablescapes - Leah was incredibly patient and kind while helping me figure out what I liked and didnt like. She was super informative and had so many ideas and examples - she came with beautiful plans for our wedding that were beyond my wildest dreams.

I walked through our reception space on my way to do the first look and was completely blown away by her work. Everything was so stunning and more incredible than I could have imagined. There were so many details and just absolute artistry - it was crazy. I think I was more emotional when I said all of her work than I was when I saw my fiance! (Sort of kidding but not really). All of my pinterest inspiration photos paled in comparison to her work. I really mean that.

I would absolutely recommend her - not only is she lovely to work with, her work is incredible. Worth every penny.

The absolute best. Unforgettable!

Black Sheep Gardens/Leah are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The flowers were definitely important to me for my wedding, but I'm not an expert. I was able to give Leah a vague description of what I liked/my vision, and she took it and ran with it.

The flowers FLOORED me when I walked into my wedding venue. I had to take a walk around the venue with my mom for a very special 10 minutes just to marvel Leah's beautiful, stunning, awe-inspiring work. She went above and beyond and absolutely blew through the ceiling of my expectations.

The table flowers, the creative displays, the bouquets, the greenery details throughout the venue were just amazing. All of our guests were complimenting the flowers all night, all day the next day, and still, months later, people are talking about the beautiful flowers.

Leah also actively helped us work together to pick out the best detials for our tables, candles, and gave opinions on what she thought would work best. This was so so helpful. She was really a part of our wedding team that made the day so beautiful.

If you're looking for a florist.....just stop looking and contact Black Sheep Gardens!!

My Favorite Vendor

If I had to redo my wedding over and over I would consistently hire Leah. She was honestly my all-time FAVORITE vendor. She was so creative and responsive, always flexible when it came to working around budgeting! She is just a joy to collaborate with and I want another excuse to work with her.

Beyond perfect!

Leah is beyond amazing at what she does. Her creativity, communication, professionalism and execution was all so perfect. She asked the right questions to understand what we wanted. She was organized and clear in all of our interactions. She was so easy to work with and executed everything flawlessly and then some! All my guests including myself were so blown away by all the floral arrangements and table settings. They were stunning! She really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, making changes along the way as needed and making suggestions when couldn’t decide. She created mood boards and a detailed proposal so we knew exactly what we were getting. We can’t thank her enough for making our wedding weekend so very special. If you are having your wedding in the Adirondacks, you have to go with Black Sheep Gardens. I can’t express enough how great they are.

Sheer Perfection!

I am thrilled to have worked with Leah on my daughter's wedding at Lake Placid Lodge! From our very first conversation until our last, Leah was on top of every single detail. My daughter had very specific flowers and a particular look that she envisioned, and Leah brought it to life absolutely beautifully. The OUTSTANDING quality of the flowers Leah used to create her stunning designs was like nothing we've ever seen before...sheer perfection! Thank you, Leah...you were a joy to work with!
