The first time I shed tears (happy ones, of course!) on my wedding day, they were courtesy of Lavender & Locks, and Diane. I love everything about lavender—the name, the color, the scent…everything! Naturally, L&L became my first choice for our florist as a result! However, after my initial meeting with Diane, I can tell you that they could have been named ANYTHING, and I would have still hired her! I felt truly listened to, and like Diane completely understood my vision for our wedding flowers. I know I keep saying it in every review, but like the rest of our vendors, she felt more like a family friend than a hired vendor for the day. In fact, dealing with flower stuff became one of my favorite parts of wedding planning, since Diane made it so easy (and dare I say, fun)! It was always like a nice little break for me, in the midst of the chaos. During our initial meeting, I expressed how much I love lavender… and maybe she does it for every bride, but the morning the flowers arrived, Diane had included a sachet of lavender for me. When I tell you started BAWLING~! The small gesture made me feel like she saw me as an actual person, and not just a customer. Not only that, but the flowers were absolutely GORGEOUS! I caught my bridesmaids sooo many times throughout the day just smelling or admiring their bouquets! Diane completely nailed the flowers, and they were even better than anything I could have envisioned. Even after the wedding, Diane continued to walk my Mom (who was driving 16+ hours back home to Kansas with our bouquets) through how to properly care for our bouquets and get them back home with minimal damage done to the blooms, so that I could preserve as much as possible! Diane and Lavender & Locks were absolutely wonderful to work with, and I would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much, Diane—I’m glad my first wedding tears were from you! :)

Diane knew how important the flowers were to me on my wedding day putting a lot of pressure on her! However, that did not stand in the way of of her talent. Every small detail was taken into account in all of the elements she created. Our day was full of color with a moody vibe, something a bit out of the ordinary, and Diane still had lots of ideas and types of flowers she thought would flow well with the day! I received more complements, from people who attended our wedding, on the flowers than anything else that day which is exactly what I was looking for. Diane was so easy to work with, flexible and truly knew what she was talking about! If you are in the process of looking for a florist, for any of your needs, she’s the perfect one for you!

Lavender & Locks is the most amazing to work with. Diane and her team are more than accommodating, take your personality and turn it into beautiful art, and are just genuinely great people. They exceeded my expectations, and helped to shape the aesthetic of our beautiful day. Thank you!!!
