Lori was amazing! I met her at a wedding expo at State Fair Park and we immediately clicked. We told her we were having a tiki-themed wedding and she had so many great and creative ideas right off the bat! Lori used to be a wedding planner, so she has so much experience in the industry and definitely ended up being much more than "just" our florist! Lori provided the most stunning flowers I have ever seen! We had palm fronds and flowers for all our tables, flowers on our tiki torches, bouquets for myself, 6 bridesmaids, and a flower girl, flower hairpieces, corsages, wristlets, boutonnieres for all the men, and my favorite thing- 2 giant palm trees that Lori made out of chicken wire and palm fronds that actually served as the backdrop for our ceremony. Lori was so kind, knowledgeable, creative, and excited. She transported everything to our venue, set it up, and had a team clean up at the end. She also helped us figure out our seating chart, table placements, linens, and a million other little things. She is possibly the most creative person I've ever met and was so good at seeing our vision and making it come to life incredibly while keeping our Tiki wedding on the classy side and under budget. Also, her team that helped to set-up and clean-up were the most helpful, hard-working, and incredibly nice people. We definitely could not have pulled off our wedding without her and all of our guests were amazed at how personal and beautiful everything she made for us was. I honestly felt like Lori was my fairy godmother.

She is a private florist who orders in bulk and then makes your arrangements. Lori did a great job on our flowers! She was texting me pictures the day before to see if I liked the boutonnieres, she was very helpful!
Only complaint is that it was still pretty expensive. I know flowers cost a lot, but for wanting to cut the costs, I didn't cut too much cost.

It is truly disappointing that I am not able to write a better review. Through all the meetings with Lori I was super excited and had full trust that she would create the most perfect bouquets for my wedding. I had given her several images and examples, so I was confident that there was nothing to worry about. She also told us that all our flowers were being ordered “fresh” right before our wedding so that they would look beautiful. We also decided to have Lori do our center pieces and décor. Our first quote seemed extremely reasonable but when it came time for our final quote, it was significantly more despite removing several tables, extra décor, and services. We asked for an itemised invoice several times but she was never able to give us one.

We paid extra to have our bouquets delivered to my hotel so that we could have them for getting ready pictures. When Lori’s assistant dropped them off I was pretty taken back at the appearance of what was supposed to be my flowers. The bouquets had random Fuchsia roses in them which was quite a shock when our colors were white, blush, and light pink. The flowers also appeared pretty droopy for what was supposed to be “fresh” roses. I called Lori right away, she had the flowers picked up and was going to fix them. Unfortunately, we were not able to get any photos with our flowers at the hotel for getting ready photos, but still had to pay the extra fee.

We arrived at the venue for our ceremony (3:00 pm) and thankfully Lori had the bouquets fixed in time so that the colors matched the color scheme as I envisioned. While walking down the aisle 2 roses had fallen from my bouquet and the keepsake heart & angel gem (representing my brother who passed) that was on my stem had also fallen off. While taking pictures I realised that my flowers were turning brown, so we had to avoid any close up images of my flowers. Two and a half hours after receiving my bouquet, (5:30 pm) my bouquet looked pathetic and I was embarrassed to be carrying dead flowers that were falling apart.

Most brides are able to preserve their bouquets as a keepsake, which I would have loved to do, but by the next morning there was really no point in preserving such dead flowers.

At the end of the night Lori and her team also showed up extremely late for tear down. They were suppose to disassemble my 10 floral center pieces so that I would be able to keep the flowers, but due to them arriving late, this did not happen.

Saying I’m disappointed is merely an understatement. If I could go back, I definitely would have done things differently.
