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! :)

Due to COVID-19, I wasn't able to have my originally planned wedding. We still decided to get married on our original date with a tiny backyard ceremony at our new home near Hummelstown. I wanted to support a small business florist local to this area. I reached out to Diane just a couple of weeks prior to our date and explained our situation. She was a true joy to work with and made a difficult time a lot less stressful. I sent her a few ideas and shared my vision and SHE. NAILED. IT! I love knowing that my flowers were locally sourced and designed by such a lovely, talented, creative individual. I would recommend Lavender and Locks to any bride, but especially to those who want to take the stress out of planning and trust the professional to do an outstanding job!

Diane went above and beyond to make our day special! She provided beautiful bouquets and flowers for our wedding, and incorporated all the elements we asked for and even included some of my favorite flowers (Peruvian lilies) into my bouquet! She also included some flowers specifically for our photographer to use and gave me a wide variety of flowers and greens to use in my hair. Everything was arranged so thoughtfully, including a loop in the ribbon of my bouquet to help hold more easily. She was also very flexible when COVID changed our original plans and we would definitely recommend choosing Lavender & Locks for all your floral needs!
