I am a person who knows little about flowers and decor, but I know what I like. When I met with various florists for my upcoming wedding, I started realizing how hard it was to find someone who understood what I wanted, and was willing to work with me and guide my ideas into a fabulous event. Many florists I met with in the Metro area expected me to know exactly what type of flowers I wanted, or they handed me a book of previous work to choose from, or they would just take my magazine inspirations and tell me I should consider something completely different.
Then I met Trish from The Loft. First off, The Loft's boutique style atmosphere is super cute, cozy, and an inspiration in itself. Trish and I met for over 2 hours in our initial consultation. No rush, no time limit. We discussed MY visions. Trish looked through pictures/clippings I had brought with, and suddenly she giddy with excitement. It clicked. She "got me." Trish started pulling magazines and searching for more ideas. She started sketching and jotting down various words of inspiration. She showed me flower picture books and explained all the different options of color, texture, season. She even hopped on her computer to google some ideas as they came to her. What I loved is that I felt totally comfortable with Trish. If I didn't like something she suggested, all I had to do was say NO, and she would make a note of it. As I worked with Trish, she always reminded me that it's not what she likes, it's what I like. And that meant a lot. Trish stood behind all of my likes and dislikes. And when I asked for her honest opinion, she gave it. Trish's attention to detail made all the difference-- for instance, Trish took fabric samples of our bridesmaid and flower girl dresses and managed to match the flower colors so exact it was beyond amazing. Plus throughout the wedding planning, she was always just an email away to offer advice on other things such as who is the best vendor for table linens, etc. Trish really is one of the best in the bridal business. After my mom met Trish she looked at me with a sigh of relief and said, "I think hiring her was one of the best decisions you could have made." I really could go on and on. I strongly recommend The Loft Floral and Decor. Set up a consultation, and you'll know why I had such a memorable experience.
