Leta Verbena (Emma) was one of the most special and incredible parts of not just our wedding day, but the entire wedding planning process. We started our wedding planning in 2019 when our wedding planner referred us to Emma. We really connected with her- she was one of the only vendors to really try and get to know us and that's what I feel led to the most wonderful design and florals for our wedding. Emma had so much creativity and ideas to create a beautiful setting for our wedding, all while ensuring that we were part of the process. Given the pandemic and the need for us to reschedule our, Emma came up with 2 entirely different concepts (and the most incredible mood boards)- our wedding was ultimately at a blank slate venue (home on the beach) and she really helped us conceive the vision and ensure that the design and florals were perfect. We were able to do a mock sample of our florals just prior to the wedding (which I highly recommend) and it was really fantastic to see what everything would look like. Emma is incredibly thoughtful- my father passed away a few months before our wedding day and she helped us create a memoral of my dad's favorite flowers, and she did not even charge us for it; that spoke to her genunine character and compassion which is not so easy to find among wedding/event vendors.

Emma's prices were incredibly reasonable and we had no hesitation in moving forward every step of the way. She had access to the most beautiful flowers we could hope for, but her concepts go beyond just flowers- she also has A LOT of wonderful votives and items that we used for the reception and ceremony. She made a beautiful arrangement on curved pillars that she has which we used for our ceremony and our tables were just perfect for the reception- decorated with greenery, white flowers with hints of blue that all just came together so wonderfully. Emma went above and beyond what we would have ever expected- creating signage and even helping every step of the way on the actual wedding day; even after our wedding she made us feel so special when she submitted photos to a magazine and got us published in a spread. We feel so lucky and grateful to have met Emma and we would absolutely recommend her and Leta Verbena to anyone who wants a power house floral designer on their team!

Emma is such a professional in this field and really wonderful to work with. We were working within a small budget and she was more than willing to work with us, guide us, and keep things realistic. The flowers turned out far more beautiful than I could have imagined. I wish I could hold them all forever. Thank you Emma!

Emma did an amazing job with our floral design for our wedding. We wanted rich jewel toned florals and tropical greenery with a ton of disco balls. Working with our amazing planner, Holly of Anything But Gray events, the design came together in the most gorgeous way. The hand painted blue and purple florals in the bouquet and throughout the arrangements are still talked about. I highly recommend Emma and her team. Our wedding was beautiful and Emma’s florals were a huge part in that.

Emma was 100% worth every penny! She helped me understand the different types of flowers and what would be available for our wedding at that time of year! I provided her with not a ton of inspiration and she still hit the nail on the head! I felt that I was able to ask questions and "why" for things and she provided me with warm responses and made me feel that there were no silly questions. I was also able to trust her fully with details of greenery we wanted in our bouquets. Having her conduct the mock up was fantastic. We were able to play with so many different items to really perfect my vision. She helped me understand options to improve my vision!

Please do yourself the favor and absolute joy of hiring Emma to do your flowers!! Not only are her flowers beautiful, but she’s so wonderful as a person — kind, helpful, efficient, and incredibly competent at literally everything. I gave her flower notes that were both specific and so off the beaten path that neither of us could find picture examples online for a mood board, and she immediately got what I was going for and came through with enthusiasm AND on budget! She made the whole process easy from start to finish, providing clear and specific proposals with the budget we asked for, answering our million questions, and even fielding last minute questions from our families like a champ. Everything we were concerned about she made easy. Not to mention, our flowers were so incredibly beautiful - we loved them, our parents loved them, our guests told us how much they loved them. She was recommended to us as the most organized person by a friend of ours who’s an assistant director, so you KNOW it’s true (as we found out to our delight!).

Emma has a talent to put colors, textures, unique spacing, and flower variety together to make a special layout. What sets her apart from other florist is that she balances the creative element of arranging and the practical element of knowing how to make the arrangements durable. She is honest about flower seasons and cost estimates. She works tirelessly to get your vision approved and ready for your wedding. I was amazed to see the venue transformed with vibrant chandelier flowers, arches, and centerpieces. She even added extra details that really pulled all the decor together. Fully recommend without reservations!

My wife and I were introduced to Emma at Leta Verbena from our wedding planner. From the first phone call with Emma, it was a no brainer to hire her as our florist for our Palm Springs Wedding. She was so kind, professional, sweet, and seemed to really have a passion for what she does. She even used to be a wedding planner and crossed over into the floral space, which is what she is focusing on now. She created a beautiful proposal for our wedding, and tweaked it wherever we needed to. She was very mindful of our budget as well, which is super important. It was so easy to ask her questions and also request florals that we did not particularly want to see on our wedding day. She provided so many items & decor for the wedding besides flowers. She even included our beautiful ceremony arch. It's a whole package deal!!! When she arrived on the day of to bring me my stunning bouquet, I was SPEECHLESS. It was incredibly beautiful. That's when she also snuck in, "I have a lot of extra flowers, so you're going to see a lot more than we talked about!" I was SO EXCITED when she told me that. Lucky me!! The florals were done so beautifully and so many of my guests commented on how these were the most beautiful florals they have seen at a wedding. We picked very colorful florals, too. Initially, we were concerned because we got married in February, and right before Valentine's day too, so the pricing and floral availability was unsure. In the end, everything worked out so perfectly, and it turned out we didn't even need to worry about that. Emma made our process so easy, and helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives. Thank you Emma and the Leta Verbena team! We will never forget you!

Working with Emma and her team at Leta Verbena was a dream come true! I had a definite idea of the vibrant, tropical flowers I envisioned filling the venue and they made it come to life. The end result was honestly better than anything I could have imagined, thanks to their expertise and creativity.
They were also very easy to work with and patient with me as I repeatedly sent emails for updates on what we wanted (it is hard to remember everything at one time!) and the locations of where we wanted our flowers delivered.

Emma and Team Leta Verbena were absolutely incredible in helping our vision come to life. During our initial consultation with Emma she made us feel so special and asked personal questions to get to know us. When she sent over the mood board she understood exactly what we were looking for, which resulted in hardly any feedback/changes. She understood our budget and respected it, which we did not experience with other vendors. She also has an extensive knowledge of weddings because she used to be a planner and is able to provide recommendations/feedback on other vendors. The day of our wedding, she arrived, got to work, and helped our planner get the venue ready. She nailed the flowers perfectly and everything was exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend Emma and her team.

Emma and her team at Leta Verbena were absolutely incredible. From our first consultation call with Emma, we felt so comfortable with her and trusted her completely. She was also genuinely excited about doing the floral design for our wedding. The entire process was simple and smooth and the result was nothing short of magical. We let her just run with our theme and the outcome was so incredibly beautiful and unique. Our guests commented on our florals all night! We would highly recommend Emma and her team for any event. The passion and artistry they bring to their work is unmatched.
