Stunning Florals & Creative Collaborator
We absolutely loved working with Davida at Flowers by Lady Buggs for our wedding! As a same-sex couple, it was important to us that our vendors were queer-affirming. It’s also important to us to spend our money with small businesses, and the fact that Flowers by Lady Buggs is a small, POC- and woman-owned business meant we were aligning our spending with our values.
Because we didn’t know exactly what we wanted when it came to florals, it worked out nicely that she collaborated with our planner so well. You always want to hire a vendor that other vendors want to work with, and Davida wasn’t only good at helping us craft a vision, but also at creatively adjusting to complement the vision of our planner/designer.
She kindly worked with us on budget and created floral designs that were absolutely beautiful for our wedding. One memorable moment was initially seeing the beautiful arrangements around the ceremony area, and then after the ceremony when we were taking a minute for ourselves to change shoes at our sweetheart table, Davida and her team brought some of those arrangements in from the ceremony and repurposed them to dress up the area around our sweetheart table. She live-cut some of the flowers as we were sitting there to make them look perfect for the space. Repurposing arrangements between the ceremony and reception is not always possible depending on your venue and needs, but she was able to make it work for us and it looked amazing.
Our bouquets were both beautiful, different, and each very “us.” We hadn’t seen what our bouquets would look like before getting them on the day, and when we first saw them, I was immediately drawn to one hoping it was mine… and it was! It was the same for my wife. Reading our preferences for that was something that Davida could tell after having spoken with us a few times and from close coordination with our planner, which we found impressive. And speaking of personal flowers, my mom was in love with her corsage and couldn’t stop admiring it throughout the afternoon and night!
Davida’s whole staff was around during pictures and the ceremony, because they were all moving things between the ceremony and reception space due to our requests and budget constraints. They were SUCH a great energy to have around, and not distracting at all – purely uplifting, fun, and encouraging. Of course you want your vendors to be great at their jobs, but you’re spending so much time with them day-of, you also want them to be great people to be around! Davida and her team are perfect examples of that. We are so happy to have worked with her for our wedding!
