Melanie made the most beautiful bridal bouquet, whimsical gazebo decor, cute centerpieces, and pretty boutonnieres & corsages for our wedding! Throughout the whole process, she was very patient, easy to communicate with through email, and had many good ideas and suggestions. Melanie was also very conscious of working with our budget! I brought her some pictures of what I wanted and she made suggestions on how to get the same feel without having to use as many flowers. Overall, she was great to work with and produced great floral work!

Melanie did my wedding and everything that she touched was AMAZING!! The bouquets were BIG and beautiful. The Chuppah was gorgeous. The tablescapes, both tall and short were so perfect. Everything she did was exactly as we had wanted. She realized our vision and fulfilled it completely. She was a pleasure to work with, very understanding, and also very respectful of the $$'s we planned to spend. She is a true gem!! Thank you Melanie for helping to make my wedding perfect.

Last Petal Floral exceeded my expectations when delivering the floral and decor for my wedding ceremony and reception. They are a one stop shop for floral, decor, design, delivery, and setup. Melanie has a large selection of rental options to accompany the floral arrangements which was helpful because it was one less vendor to work with and it made for a really cohesive look and feel. With my Pinterest board and her knowledge of the venue (Omni Barton Creek), she made my vision of succulents (I got to keep them after the wedding!) and muted flowers come to life for my April 2016 wedding. Myself, my family and my guests, were blown away by the results! It was just perfect!

Besides being so happy with the outcome, working with Melanie the months leading up to the event, was an absolute pleasure. She is kind and calm and was willing to work within my budget, letting me know where to spend more money and where to spend less, based on what people will notice. You will love your flowers and your experience if you choose Last Petal to be the florist for your wedding. FIVE STARS!
