Katie Sent on 03/07/2022Amazing to work with!
Beata was such a joy to work with every step of the way for my wedding! She gave us a lot of tips for how to get the most out of our flowers within our budget, which was so incredibly helpful. My mom is a potter, and we really wanted to use her handmade vases for the table arrangements at the reception. Beata was so great about giving my mom guidelines for the size and shape of the vases and then creating the beautiful arrangements in the vases my mom had dropped off the week of our wedding. I knew very little about flowers before the wedding, but Beata was perfectly able to capture my vision. She even checked with me before the wedding when some of the flowers arrived in a slightly different shade than what we had discussed before, just to make sure I would be completely happy with the arrangements. She was great at communicating, committed to working within our budget, reliable and efficient with wedding day delivery and setup, and her arrangements were all beautiful! We are so happy we hired Lily of the Lakes for our wedding! I can't imagine a better experience! -

You won't regret booking Lily of the Lakes!
I can't recommend using Lily of the Lakes enough! Beata was responsive, detail oriented, very communicative about pricing and helped us figure out what would work best with our budget and pricing. I did not know a ton about flowers, and trusted her creatively to bring our color vision to life and she executed it BEAUTIFULLY! I truly wanted to cry from happiness when I saw our decorated staircase. I got only a couple quotes for florals, but Beata's was much more reasonably priced than the others I looked into. -

Beata far surpassed my expectations
Beata did incredible work with my bouquet, bridesmaid bouquet, boutonnieres, and corsages (that I added last minute!). For my fall wedding, I had a vision of having more greenery in my bouquet but still wanted some color such as maroons and whites. Beata took my idea, ran with it, and completely blew me away. I got so many compliments on the flowers and I just could not stop looking at them the entire night. Communication was great from our first meet up all the way up until the big day! One thing Beata made sure I knew too was that she only takes on one client a day so it was nice to be prioritized. I cannot recommend Lily of the Lakes enough! -

Beata is wonderful to work with! My first meeting with her she was patient with me, really listened and understood my vision even though I was not great at explaining. I kept telling her I had no creative abilities in my body so my way of explaining beauty was probably terrible and she was able to take what I was trying to explain and put it into reality. She is also great at making sure you don’t waste money. She had lots of ideas on how to multi use the flowers between the ceremony and reception. -

Best Florist Out There!
Beata Polacikova was the best florist my husband and I could have asked for. Her communication, attention to detail, flexibility and personality were impeccable! We really enjoyed planning the florals with Beata for our Big Day, as she had a positive attitude and is highly experienced in being a florist. Her attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We had the most beautiful flower arbor, table greenery, and bouquets that were exactly what we imagined! We would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Beata for a very fun and smooth experience for your wedding flowers! -

Katie Sent on 08/13/2021So easy to work with
We had a micro wedding so I just sent a few ideas to Lily of the Lakes via email for a bouquet and a few men’s corsages. She was timely, professional, helpful, responsive and delivered my items straight to the hotel the morning of the wedding. The easiest person we worked with in our planning which took the stress off that part at least! All emails we answered within 24 hours which is unfortunately rare with others. -

Elizabeth Sent on 05/30/2021Absolutely Gorgeous Flowers and Wonderful People Too!
With just a few photos for inspiration and not a lot of time to plan, Beata of Lily of the Lakes delivered the most gorgeous wedding flowers I have ever seen with great care and expertise. She helped us decide what flowers would work best in our space, too, and was absolutely right. Beata created the most beautiful bouquet, boutonnières, corsages, ceremony flowers, and table installations and installed them personally. She is an expert and an artist, but also so kind and thoughtful. I loved having her be part of our day and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an incredible florist (and a great person). Thank you, Beata! -

I cannot thank Beata and her team enough for making beautiful flower arrangements for our winter wedding! Beata was very flexible with us during COVID.

Beata went above and beyond for my wedding. She was super easy to work with and really listened to what I wanted. She is also very flexible and will work with any situation. We had to move our big reception to next year due to Covid. She created a beautiful bouquet and used the left over flowers to make three floral arrangements for the tables for our mini wedding this year. I can't wait to work with her again! -

I absolutely loved all my floral arrangement! I met with a couple different florists before deciding on Lily of the Lakes, and it was clear that Beata was going to respect my budget and make deciding the flowers a smooth and easy aspect of wedding planning. I truly appreciated Beata's flexibility, especially with all the unknown and changing variables that come with planning a wedding during a global pandemic. I would recommend Lily of the Lakes to anyone in a heartbeat! -

Finding a florist last minute during the middle of a pandemic for my friend's wedding was intimidating but working with Beata was SO EASY! She was flexible when the date needed to be changed and also with changes to the color palette. She decorated the chuppah beautifully and nailed the brides/my vision for the bouquets. Her communication is professional and quick. In fact, I plan to use her for another friend's wedding this winter. -

Above and Beyond--Most Beautiful Arrangements!
Working with Beata at Lily of the Lakes was a pure joy from start to finish.

They were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined and were definitely a brighten the day amid a global pandemic (and they lasted well over a week to continue bringing joy)!

Beata owner of Lily of the Lakes did an outstanding job on my daughter Gabriella’s wedding. The flowers were so beautiful. The arrangements were made exactly how my daughter envisioned. The greenery that Beata used was gorgeous. This was a destination wedding for all of us because my daughter lives out of town and I do as well. Through constant communication Beata was able to put this all together and have the church, the flowers for everyone and the reception looking amazing! Thank you so much Beata for doing all that you do! It definitely shows in the beautiful work you do just how much love and joy you put into it!
Blessings,

Tali Sent on 11/24/2019Amazing!! Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved working with Beata at Lily of the Lakes! Having beautiful flowers at our wedding was very important to me and I was beyond amazed at Beata’s talent! From our very first conversation, Beata listened carefully to my vision and then she took my vision and multiplied it by 100 to be even more beautiful than I imagined. Beata is extremely professional and her goal was that we’d be truly happy with our flowers - and we were! I appreciated that Beata worked with our budget and even had great cost-savings ideas. The flowers were extremely fresh and gorgeous! Several of my bridesmaids sent me photos of their bouquets that were still beautiful up to 2 weeks after our wedding! I highly recommend Lily of the Lakes! -

Amazing Wedding Floral
I cannot begin to say even nice things about Beata and Lily of the Lakes. The time she spent with me going through such thorough detail of style, shape, colors, and flowers really made me feel great about the experience. She worked with our budget and gave us the biggest bang for our buck without us having to compromise much on what we wanted and she was HONEST! when it came down to it there were a few things I originally asked for that I was unsure of and she gave her honest opinion whether it would be impactful or not and looking back I’m happy with what we ended up with. The day before she had to make a last minute judgement call on the color of a specific type of flower, should we go with the reddish brown tone or the purple tone. She went with the purple and I agreed and the colors truly worked better than imagined! Everything was beautiful and I wish I could have kept the flowers forever. -

Highly recommend!!
I would definitely recommend Beata from Lily of the Lakes to anyone looking for a florist! She was extremely helpful when it came time to pick out the floral arrangements for my wedding (I don’t have a green thumb at all)! I gave her a couple photos and a small list of flowers that I liked, and she did the rest! She was very kind and took the time to answer all my questions. She is also very flexible as I added a couple things last minute, and she was able to accommodate those changes for us! I can’t thank her enough for playing a big part in our beautiful day! I couldn’t have asked for a better florist! -

Anna Sent on 01/04/2019Amazing and Affordable Florist!
Beata was so amazing to work with!! I wanted a certain look for our flowers, but having our wedding in December, we didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg with flowers that were not in season. Beata provided ideas of how to capture our style by utilizing different types of flowers and greenery that were within our budget and really captured our vision. We were able to get bundles of greenery at wholesale price that we utilized for our head table and all tables in the venue. This really helped to stay within budget!
Beata also created greenery pieces for my hair and emailed back and forth with my hair stylist to make sure it would work for my hair. Throughout the full planning, Beata always was so responsive and truly went above and beyond. Day-of the flowers were better then I could have ever imagined and the bouquets and alter arrangements looked amazing 2 weeks after the wedding, they were so fresh! I would highly recommend Lily of the Lakes!! -

Beth Sent on 11/21/2018Great value and level of service!
I had a great experience working with Beata from Lily of the Lakes on my wedding! She provided a detailed proposal for bridal party and centerpiece arrangements that fit within my budget, and everything came out just as expected on the big day.
The day before the wedding we realized the ceramic centerpiece vases I purchases were leaking, but Beata helped us come up with some creative solutions and most importantly she didn't give me any reason to stress during the event - she just handled it! We also forgot to request a corsage and boutonniere for grandma and grandpa, so she was kind enough to make them on the fly!
I was very pleased with the service and beautiful arrangements. Highly recommend! -

Wonderful to work with!
I didn't know much about flowers, but had an idea about the colors that I wanted. Beata ran with it and created amazing bouquets and centerpieces. The best thing was our arbor. We had it as the background for our ceremony with gorgeous arrangements of flowers. After the ceremony, the same arrangements served as a backdrop for our head table. The process was very smooth and the flowers were everything that we wanted and more. Beata is a pleasure to work with! -
