    Gretchen and her team were amazing!

    Their work for our wedding was absolute perfection and at a really affordable cost! I didn't give Gretchen a ton of specifics, but what she came up with was exactly what I imagined. It was so, so beautiful and looked like something straight from my Pinterest inspo board. Gretchen and her team were also extremely flexible with rescheduling due to the pandemic! I can't recommend Petals, Ink enough!

    Gorgeous arrangements!

    Working with Gretchen was amazing! We loved getting the opportunity to meet with her at her farm prior to the wedding. She is very knowledgeable and helped us hone in on our vision. Our bouquets were absolutely beautiful, and the gorgeous centerpieces became a talking point for many of our guests. We were even able to use them the next day for our post-wedding BBQ. We couldn’t have been happier, and we highly recommend Petals, ink!

    Gretchen and Lennie were amazing. I gave them a rough idea of what I wanted (wildflowers, bright) with a few inspiration pictures, and the bouquets and centerpieces turned out absolutely beautiful. They even worked with me to stay on budget. It was perfect and I can't thank them enough!

    Gretchen is fantastic. Just go with Petals Ink. Her materials are local which is awesome in & of itself, but her artistic vision is what makes her work so perfect. She's super creative & has impeccable taste. She made our masculine, biergarten wedding venue look colorful & wonderful. She + Lennie were so organized; they have amazing planning software & are super communicative. I highly recommend Petals Ink. XO

    I do not have the words to describe how obsessed I was and still am with the floral arrangements Gretchen, Lennie, and her team put together. Truly the most beautiful things I have ever seen!!!! They put together the most perfect arrangements and really listened to what I liked and didn't like. She captured the environment perfectly and everyone could not stop commenting on how lovely and beautiful the flowers were. I would hire them a million times if I could!!

    Gretchen and Lennie were fantastic. Their floral designs and the flowers they delivered and arranged were beautiful. We loved the arrangements and had a lot of people comment on how good they looked. We can't recommend them enough, and I wouldn't go with any other florist.

    I highly recommend Petals Ink. They were the first florist I met with and I knew the meetings I had lined up with a few other florists would be a complete waste of time (one was, another gave me some good ideas, but could not compare to Gretchen!). Gretchen's vision for my wedding was amazing! Her ethics were what made me fall in love. My flowers were so gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. Best of all they worked to keep everything in my budget!

    Gretchen captured the exact playful, relaxed, colorful and Southwestern vibe we were going for with our wedding. I had shown her some pictures I liked and she managed to design florals that captured the essence of what I had shown her. Everything from the flowers she prepared for my hair, to the corsages, boutonnieres, to the table arrangements were so perfect. I have gotten compliments upon compliments for the flowers in my hair, especially. I never thought I would be the kind of person who dried out their wedding bouquet, but my bouquet was so stunning that I couldn't imagine throwing it away - so it is hanging in our closet as I write this.

    We also rented the chuppah Gretchen has on hand. it is a beautiful wooden chuppah and she used greenery in a simple, asymmetrical arrangement. Note that the chuppah is not very large and it was a bit crowded for our parents and officiant to stand under - just something to keep in mind if you plan to incorporate that standing arrangement into your ceremony.

    We used Petals Ink for our October 2016 wedding. We worked directly with Gretchen & Lennie and they were super professional and made communication simple. We were coming in from out of town to Austin for our wedding and we only needed to provide a few inspiration images for them to take the reigns and make our vision come to life. The flowers exceeded our expectation and were absolutely stunning! We receive so many compliments from family and friends about how beautiful all the flowers were. It was such a pleasure to work with Petals Ink!

    Gretchen was A-mazing! Her flowers LITERALLY made me cry when I saw what she did for my archway. She did EXACTLY what I wanted for my bouquets but for my archway went above and beyond and EXCEEDED my expectations. The job she did was beyond my wildest dreams. Her work at my wedding was by far one of my most FAVORITE things about my wedding. There is NOTHING I regret about working with her and choosing her as my florist. She was extremely patient, flexible and willing to work with my billion questions and weird ideas. Any bride would be beyond lucky to have her and would not regret choosing her as their florist. She can take any vision and make it into a dream reality. She is second to none..truly and there are not enough nice things to say about her to fit into a review! I love her and her work so much and cant wait to think up another excuse to work with her again!

    Gretchen and her staff were incredible to work with. I sent a general idea of what I wanted and they did the rest. The flowers looked like exactly what I pictured in my head, but better. Plus, Gretchen was very cognizant of my budget and willing to work within it to produce what I wanted. Honestly cannot recommend Petals, ink. enough!!

    Gretchen did an amazing job!

    I sent her my Pinterest board and she took it from there. I had complete and total trust in her selection and she knew exactly the style I was thinking--we wanted thistles, texture, and country-style flowers/wildflowers, and even though it was fall and not the season for bright wildflowers, she was able to make it happen. My bouquet was so gorgeous...exactly what I wanted. We also had her create a crown for our flower girl to match my bouquet and the bridesmaids.

    Highly recommend! Professional, on time, and creative! For out of towners, it helps to send her your Pinterest board :)

    We chose Petals, ink. because our planner Heather Sorensen at Vintage & Lace recommended them and even used them for her own wedding. It was the simplest process and a great bargain compared to other florists. We filled out Gretchen's questionnaire with our colors, flowers we liked, and the mood of our wedding. Since we were planning from out-of-state she worked mostly with our planner. With just that information, Gretchen nailed it! It was possibly one of the easiest parts of our wedding planning! Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were, and my family was thrilled to take home the succulents Gretchen brought. It was nice to have a living memento from the wedding! We also love how vibrant the colors came through in our photos. We would strongly recommend Petals, ink!

    Gretchen and her team at Petals, Ink rock the wedding flower world. I wanted something different - something bold, quirky, vibrant and fun - they delivered and some. The end result was mind-blowing - it was more than I ever could have imagined. She has an incredible vision for design and color - and her execution is perfect. It is clear that she is very passionate about flower design and dedicated to making her client's dreams come true. It was easy to work with Gretchen and her team - they are very flexible, always responsive and the end execution was flawless. My only regret is that I couldn't make the flowers last forever.

    Gretchen and the Petals, Ink. team did a GREAT job with our flowers. I knew very little about flowers, and very little about what I wanted, but Gretchen was patient and helpful, and together we created the stuff of my wedding-flower dreams! Gretchen and her team were professional and responsive, and accommodated 2 last-minute requests from us (a boutonniere and wristlet for two much-loved but accidentally forgotten family members) and were kind about everything. Gretchen and I happened to be in the same coffee shop about 1 week before the wedding, and she made it a point to come up to me and say hello...it was so nice! Especially since we had only met in person once about 7 months before that.

    Ok, the flowers themselves...oh my goodness! So wonderful! An actual comment from a guests included "whoever did your wedding I want them to do MY LIFE"...which I think largely had to do with Gretchen's flowers. My bouquet was the sprawling, organic, slightly unruly and VERY BEAUTIFUL stuff of my dreams, and the flower crown that Gretchen and her team created for me was everybody's favorite. I loved it! My friend said that I looked "like the spirit of nature, in the best possible way", and even the groomsmen went out of their way to mention it specifically...it was so very "me" and so very wonderful. The asymmetrical greenery and floral arrangement we had above us during the ceremony was gorgeous, and even the simple mason jars of varied greenery were unexpectedly beautiful...somehow "just greenery" looked exactly right for the venue. The boutonnieres and wristlets were gorgeous as well, and Gretchen and her team were a pleasure to work with. I would completely recommend working with them, as the flowers were perfection in every way....I am even considering to, on our anniversary each year, create a floral arrangement so that I can, for at least a week, be the kind of human who has gorgeous wonderful flowers to look at.

    Incredible flowers, most from her own garden! I used Gretchen for my wedding as well as my engagement/bridal photos and everything she did was incredibly beautiful. She made flower crowns for both my photo shoots and each were so unique and gorgeous, she even gave me a beautiful bouquet for my bridal photos just because. The flowers for my wedding were beyond anything I could have even imagined, we were all totally floored by how amazing they were and I loved hearing that the majority of them came from her own garden! Her prices are fair and she's worth every penny! I loved that she came to say hi to me on the day of the wedding, she cares about her clients and it really shows.

    From start to finish, Gretchen and her team did a fabulous job of putting together arrangements that were more beautiful than anything I could have ever imagined for my wedding day! I was extremely happy with their responsiveness to my questions and concerns. Gretchen did an amazing job of helping to bring my vision to life. Petals Ink. are true professionals and masters of their craft. I would recommend their services to anyone getting married, planning an event, or even just looking for a beautiful arrangement. I will certainly be a client for life. 5 stars all the way!

    Gretchen of Petals Ink. honestly made the wedding for my mother, and therefore me. My mom is an interior designer and was very involved in the wedding decor (think barn doors magically turned into a ceremony backdrop :) ). She knows her flowers and so when we were looking for a florist she wanted someone who would work with her instead of doing a standard look. Gretchen took one look at a picture my mother sent and immediately understood the entire look we were going for. She made the planning so much fun and by the end we stopped having to have phone calls at all because our answer was just "do whatever you think". I loved every aspect of my wedding but the look and feel she created with the flowers were definitely one of my favorite parts.

    I met with Gretchen at Petals, ink. following the recommendation of a friend who had hired her for her own wedding. I'm so glad that I followed her advice! I am totally NOT a flower person- I can name about 10 different flowers, so I didn't have a great idea of what I wanted my flowers to look like beyond a few pictures on Pinterest. But a short questionnaire and meeting later, Gretchen was magically able to come up with a proposal that perfectly captured the theme that I struggled to express myself. Our original proposal included bouquets/boutonnières, centerpieces (2 different designs!), some aisle decorations, and an arrangement to hang on our ceremony arch. Closer to the wedding, I added a couple more little pieces, and it was no issue at all. Gretchen even went out of her way to make sure that the cake arrangement she was making would fit the specific plate we would be displaying our cake on.

    Although the proposal included the names of flowers and the general feel that they would follow, I didn't quite know what it would look like until the day of the wedding. When I arrived at the venue, I was greeted by arrangements that were more perfect than I ever could have imagined. I was gushing about the flowers all evening (and for days after!). I should also note that Gretchen had to separate the arch piece at the last minute into two different arrangements (our hand-made arch was a little too wobbly for comfort), and this was done flawlessly.

    Overall, I couldn't be more thrilled about how everything turned out, and Gretchen was a dream vendor to work with. I wish I could get married again just to have more flowers done by Petals, ink.!

    Petals truly brought the wedding theme together with such beautiful floral displays which expressed our color theme and style perfectly. All the flowers were so fresh and colorful, everything was delivered on time and Gretchen was a pleasure to work with. She understood exactly what I was going for and brought it to life. I had to plan everything from afar and she certainly helped answer all my questions and concerns and made the planning process super easy despite the distance!

    I was in love with Gretchen's work before I got married from blogs and Instagram. When the question of florist came to mind, it was no doubt I would pick Petals, ink.

    After describing what we imagined and our budget, she did a phenomenal job delivering. On the day of, the venue changed their arch and we had to switch from an outdoor to indoor ceremony, but she was flexible and tried to make the venue as beautiful as possible with our adaptations. Her and husband Ben was professional, easy to talk to, and prompt to email. I would recommend them to everyone and anyone!

    Before our wedding, my husband and I were about as green to wedding planning as you can get. None of our family members (women or men) were willing to help us with planning and I was actually finishing up graduate school in another state. After we booked our venue, I quickly scoured the reviews on The Knot and fell in love with the arrangement photos of Petals Ink.

    I contacted Gretchen about getting an estimate and she was very patient with us and gave us different price ranges to figure out our floral budget. We ended up going with the higher amount and are absolutely pleased with our decision.

    Everyone at our wedding commented on how beautiful the arrangements were that day. Our photographer was floored by the decor and professionalism by Petals Ink. By showing Gretchen images that I collected from the internet, she and Ben went above and beyond what my husband and I envisioned for our special day. Throughout the entire process, both kept us up to date with any changes/details.

    Gretchen and Ben are incredibly professional and talented individuals. We highly recommend them for any floral creations on your special day. You will not be disappointed!
