Lana is the absolute best!!! FDL provided the flowers for our wedding at Gramercy Mansion. Flowers were one of the more important details for me...but I didn't want to spend a fortune. Other florists that I met with just wrote down all of the stuff I wanted and then sent me proposals but Lana was much more active and fun to work with; she has books w/ lots of different types of flowers and also brought out different flowers that she had in the shop so that we could get a sense of texture, color and size. This was very helpful in envisioning what final bouquets and arrangements would look like. She also asked about our budget early on so that we could be realistic and she had lots of ideas to keep us in line, like vase rentals and flower substitution.
Lana has a great eye for color and design. I was been on the fence about a trellis and Lana came up with an idea using her birch one. She was very excited about it and I put my faith in her to execute, and she did not disappoint. It was like she went into my head and saw visions I didn't even know I had. Our guests loved it and all said it was so "me."
Working with Lana is easy. We were able to work out some of the items we didn't discuss during the meeting through email with no problem.
Lana came back after the wedding to pick up rental items etc, and I loved that she encouraged guests to take stems with them so that the flowers wouldn't go to waste. We were able to reuse the stems in arrangements for brunch the next morning, and they lasted for days afterwards, so the flowers she uses are high-quality. My young cousins literally fought over the irises and roses! I gave my bouquets to my grandparents and they loved them; the flowers were fragrant and lasted for a while after the wedding.
I would highly recommend FDL to anyone and everyone, not only for weddings but anytime you need flowers! Lana is a hard-working, extremely kind small business owner and does not disappoint!
