Blackbird Floral

Lea's a true artist! We gave her some direction, shared some photos of arrangements we liked, talked colors and then let Lea work her magic and the end result was absolutely stunning! We got so many compliments on the flowers! They were amazing. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!

After looking for months for a florist who was willing to work with our "wildflower" design and within our budget, I came across reviews of Lea and Blackbird Floral. It was a very happy day the first time we talked and shared ideas! Lea was a dream to work with, and the finished product so exceeded our expectations! Pricing was very reasonable and the arrangements, bouquets, and ceremony flowers were stunning. Service was perfect. I can't say enough about what a wonderful, professional job Lea and her staff did.

I went into wedding planning thinking "I don't really care about the flowers," and then I found Blackbird Floral. I was immediately inspired and had to have these beautiful creations. I just sent Lea her own pictures that I liked the best and a general desire for creative, bright, fun designs. I got that plus some. She was amazing to work with every step of the way as well. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for something unique and are open to something that breaks away from boring, traditional wedding flowers. Everyone was floored by the outcome, and it was everything I didn't first know I needed. Perfection!

We used Blackbird floral for our wedding this summer, and all the florals were beautiful! The flowers were a priority for me, but we also had a budget in mind. I was worried we wouldn't be able to make it all "come together" but Lea really brought our vision to life within our budget. She met with us and communicated with me through email quickly. She was honest with us about what would look good and was creative about how to help stretch our budget. Above all else she nailed it! It looked just like how I had envisioned. We got so many compliments about how beautiful everything looked, and really, a lot of that credit goes to Lea.

I can't say enough about Lea and her talent. My daughter trusted me to plan the flowers for her vintage wedding at The Texas Woman's Federation Mansion June 3. Lea worked with me to get the vision Kate wanted, even incorporating peaches into the arrangements. Everything was absolutely beautiful. My daughter said, "Mom, the flowers were wonderful. I think Blackbird Floral did an amazing job"

Lea did an amazing, flawless job with the flowers for our 6/3/17 wedding. They came out exactly how I envisioned, except better! She is a true artist who cares about her work and listens to her clients. She really went above and beyond. I couldn't believe how beautiful our venue looked. There is nothing she could have improved on. She is also kind, genuine, polite and professional. I'm so glad we hired her!

Lea is such an amazing florist and artist! She did such a wonderful job on our wedding flowers. I gave her a couple general ideas and our budget. She worked her magic and they turned out better than anything I could have envisioned!

Blackbird Floral was amazing! Lea was so helpful and so knowledgable. I gave her my general idea and she made the most beautiful bouquets and arrangements. Because of my leniency with the flower choices she was able to find the best quality blooms available. Everyone raved about how unique and exquisite they were. Lea made some really stunning succulent pieces for our bar top and outside tables. I was able to keep all of the succulents and still enjoy them even three months later! Lea was very flexible with her meeting times, last minute quantity changes, and was so accommodating on our wedding day to the unexpected timeline change. I will definitely be asking Lea to do more arrangements for me in the future. She is wonderful!

Lea was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took all of my Pinterest inspirations and turned them into pure magic beyond what I could have ever expected. She was so easy to work with and extremely communicative. We could not have been happier with the gorgeous results!

Lea did an absolutely beautiful job! I was most excited about the flowers for our wedding because Lea truly is an artist. The entire meeting and planning process she was super helpful and timely and did everything she could to make it go as smoothly as possible. She puts so much thought and consideration into every design and it truly shows in her work. Received so many compliments on our flowers and even took several centerpieces home with me so I could continue to enjoy them.

This is simply the best floral designer in the city. My daughter's wedding flowers were breathtaking! You will not be disappointed.

I cannot say enough nice things about Lea at Blackbird Floral!!!! We hired her 2-3 weeks before our wedding after my mom pissed off the original florist and she quit! SO, lets just say we were on a tight budget with a super tight turnaround time and Lea knocked it out of the park. The altar display that she put together at Prospect House was ABSOLUTELY stunning. My bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets were so gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. The only hiccup was in the corsages which were not labeled, and my 4 attendants did not receive them. The florist said my wedding coordinator (The Fairytale Effect) told her she would handle it, but clearly it wasnt handled and I was disappointed that neither of them offered to cover my expenses for the lost corsages. We did our own hydrangeas in mason jars for simple centerpieces and then reused the bouquets on some of the tables as centerpieces as well. For our low budget wedding, it was incredible and I was very happy with the way the flowers look in all of the photos!!! Thank you Lea!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lea of Blackbird Floral! I called Lea about two weeks before my January courthouse elopement and she was able to deliver the bouquet of my dreams to the makeup studio where I was on the morning of my wedding. When we first spoke, I sent her a few pictures of bouquets from Pinterest that I loved and explained what "look" I was going for. (winter, earthy, etc.) I absolutely could not have been HAPPIER with the results! Lea is tremendously talented and a joy to speak with. Everything was SO easy - we spoke on the phone once, I sent pictures, we texted the day before, and then BAM - the most beautiful bouquet ever was delivered! Blackbird Floral is forever my Austin go-to for unique, artistic, gorgeous floral design!

Lea was fabulous to work with from the beginning. She really listened to what I was looking for, and despite my inability to find the right words, she still managed to recreate the vision in my head. I knew my floral budget was limited from the beginning, but she really worked with me to provide what I wanted while staying within budget. To save a little money, my mom and I did DIY arrangements for the cocktail tables the evening before, but by the day of, the hydrangeas were looking a little sad. Lea not only stepped in to help solve the problem at the last minute, but she even dressed the arrangements up to look prettier than anything we could have done. Sad flowers are not a catastrophe, but I was truly impressed Lea's willingness to go the extra mile. I had several guests comment that I "paid too much for flowers" based on the arrangements they saw. If only they know how little I paid for how much we got. The flowers were beautiful and a huge hit!

We chose Blackbird Floral to do the bouquets, boutonniere's and corsages for my son's wedding. The bride wanted Fall-colored flowers with lots of texture, succulents, and non-traditional additions. And if that wasn't challenging enough, the bride also wanted lots of color. Lea did an amazing job. She is truly an artist and her creations were incredibly beautiful. It took my breath away when I saw them for the first time. On top of that, 6 days later the bouquet in my possession is still fresh and beautiful. I suspect there are numerous florists in the area that can do bouquets and other wedding flowers but I highly recommend Lea if you want your flowers to be special, unique, and strikingly impressive.

First time I met with Lea, I knew I was going to be in good hands. I came in with an idea and visuals of what I wanted, and she knew just what I was after. (It's only right that the bride be clear about what she wants but also leave room for the expert to do what they do!) It' a fabulous thing, when your vendor just gets your vision. Working with her was great. She's very responsive and involved, yet managed it all with minimal back and forth. The final output? Exactly what I wanted in terms of flower assortment, volume, and look and feel. She nailed it, couldn't be happier. All of this, at a very reasonable cost. Of all my wedding vendors, Blackbird Floral was one of my favorites. I'm quite particular with design elements, but Blackbird is highly recommended!

Lea at Blackbird Floral was kind and professional and talented. She understood just the look and palette I wanted. I cared about having particular flower colors much more than having any specific flower type. So, Lea was even able to suggest beautiful flower types to help me stay in my budget while fitting my palette. She was easy to get in touch with when I had questions, and answered my e-mails quickly. I was very pleased and would definitely recommend Blackbird Floral!

Lea is truly an artist. Blackbird Floral designed the arrangements for my September wedding at Mercury Hall. Upon meeting Lea, I could instantly tell she is passionate about her work. She took the time to really understand the feel of my event and artfully crafted to most incredible arrangements . She perfectly captured the personality of our colorful event. I appreciated Lea's honest and sculptural approach. She know what works. The flowers were hands down my favorite wedding detail. Lea is now working with my sister on her spring wedding. I can't wait to see her capture such different personalities. I know it's going to be beautiful. I highly recommend Blackbird Floral for any event- their arrangements are works of art.

We used Blackbird Floral (Lea) for our rehearsal dinner at Cimarron Hills Country Club in Georgetown and for our wedding at Reunion Ranch in Georgetown. Lea's flowers and arrangements were absolutely amazing for both events! I love her style!! She listened to the design I had in mind and she nailed it! We also used her candle votives for our tables and they finished the whole look. Aside from the wine glasses, water goblets, napkins, and silverware on the tables the rest was Lea's and I am still getting compliments on how gorgeous my table designs were and I didn't have to do a thing! I will use her for my future needs and will recommend her to any of my family, friends, or acquaintances! Thanks Lea for all of the beautiful flowers and making my ideas come to fruition!

I got my bridal bouquet, 3 boutonnieres, and 2 corsages from Blackbird Floral. I talked with Lea on what I wanted in detail. I let her take my ideas from conversation, photos I sent her and she created something amazing! I loved my bouquet, it was beautiful and affordable, I couldn't believe how much detail was in this bouquet from me just describing what I wanted. It was like a dream come true. You made my wedding that much more special :) Thank you so much Lea!!!!

Lea and Blackbird Floral is incredible. She took the time to understand my vision, and even when the right flowers were not available, she created something incredibly beautiful for our wedding. We were going for a very natural, elegant vibe, which is sort of her style and I loved everything she put together for us. I hope that my new husband will remember to order flowers from her in the future!

I found Blackbird Floral through the Knot's vendor search. What struck me about their pictures was that they almost looked like still life paintings - they weren't just your regular arrangements; they had an artistic, almost sculptural aspect to them. Come to find out, Lea is a painter and used to work as a set designer! She's one very talented lady! When I met with Lea to go over our basic thoughts for the wedding, she had a lot of great ideas and suggestions on how to maximize drama within our budget. The end results, from the table decorations to my bouquet, were stunning and far exceeded any expectations. I love how our arrangements were so unique. Plus they photographed just beautifully. From our first meeting to the day of the wedding, Lea was very easy to get in touch with. I even had her do a last minute bouquet for my bridal portraits and am so happy I did! On the day of our wedding, she and her crew were early, worked quickly, and were one thing I did not have to stress at all about. Anyone planning a wedding can appreciate how much that meant to me! I have to say, if you are the type of bride who MUST HAVE WHITE PEONIES, Lea would be able to create lovely arrangements for you. BUT, if you're a little more relaxed, put your faith in her and let her just create. She will wow your guests and keep you happy and sane. I am still getting compliments on the flowers six months later, and I'm sure that will continue for a long time.

I could not have asked for more. The flowers were everything I had hoped they would be. Working with lea was very pleasant and convienient. I was able to get everything ordered and paid for via online and with wedding planning it is nice to have one less thing to do. Lea knew exactly the look I was going for and made my envision come to life. I highly recommend using this florist for any event.

I cannot speak more highly of Lea and Blackbird Floral. Blackbird floral did all the flowers for my May wedding at the LBJ wildflower center. From the beginning it was clear that Lea had a true talent and vision, and on the wedding day she exceeded my expectations. Lea went above and beyond for us in all the right ways and made sure to get my concept and vision perfectly for every element of the wedding. Even though she faced many challenges on the day of, with crazy rain and a difficult timeline, she was perfect, and they delivered above and beyond what was promised. She truly is a magician with what she can do with flowers. She was also great with our budget and was always very careful to stay within budget. I was thrilled with my bouquet and flower crown, it was actually the flowers and not the dress that made me feel like a million bucks on my wedding day. I would HIGHLY recommend Blackbird floral- Lea is the absolute best.

I knew Lea was the perfect florist to hire for our wedding from the first time we met. She is so creative, and immediately understood exactly what I was visioning without much direction at all. I didn't really care what types of flowers we used, or what vases they came in as long as it achieved a certain look, and Lea by far exceeded my expectations (which were already very high). I couldn't stop staring at my bouquet the entire night - everything was beautiful! Lea and her husband spent several hours setting up flowers and other decorations to make sure everything looked just right - talk about dedication! I look forward to using Blackbird for future occasions - she's an absolute joy to work with.

Had a great experience! After emailing around for price quotes I was suspicious but excited when Lea ferom Blackbird floral told me she could do everything I wanted for the price everyone else was quoting me for just my bouquet! I met with her to further discuss prices and what I wanted and she was so understanding and seemed to know exactly what I wanted from my terrible description. I came away from the meeting very confident, and she kept excellent contact and moved with the flow while my plans changed several times. I ordered a large bouquet with a mix of succulents and peach roses, 4 smaller versions of that bouquet, two succulent boutineers, and two small altar pieces for under $600(I don't recall exact price). They were already there when I arrived, sitting in the entrance to the church in cute vases, and the altar pieces were already set up in place. I didn't have to stress about anything, just grabbed and went. The bouquet was exactly what I had in mind, and was even better than the inspiration picture, I wish there was a way to add pictures so everyone could enjoy her beautiful craftsmanship!

Working with Lea was fantastic: the most fun I had during the planning process, my favorite person to work with. When I refer to her in conversation I can't say 'florist.' I have to say 'floral design artist' (or something like that) because her work is art. I am a dancer, musician and visual artist myself and my standards for originality and creativity are high. She captured the feeling of the event perfectly: lush, sensual, and a little avant-garde. The work was unlike anything I had seen before. Lea is awesome! : )

She created the most beautiful blowers I have ever seen. My dream came to life :)

Seriously, she blew our minds! She was so accommodating and sweet and really went out of her way the entire year to let us know what she was thinking and worked side by side to help complete our vision for our big day. Her talent is tremendous. I was so pleased with the outcome! We received so many compliments and she truly understands her art. Her taste and style is impeccable and she does an awesome job making each arrangement really unique. Lea does a great job with budget. If you have a vision but it's a little out of reach budget wise she is really creative with alternatives and finding a solution that you can be really happy about. It was a relief not to have to worry about a thing with her. She definitely went above and beyond. I can't say enough good things!

Working with Lea to put together the floral arrangements for my wedding day at the Driskill was an absolute joy. She was easy to work with, listened to what I wanted and had great suggestions for achieving the look while staying within budget. She was very clear in her proposals and budget, so I felt like we knew what to expect on the big day. And when the big day came - WOW!! We expected greatness, and our expectations were exceeded. It was absolutely perfect, and the altar pieces were unbelievable! So huge and beautiful!! I stole my bouquet back from the girl that caught it cause I didn't want to let it go! Thank you, Blackbird Floral, for making my special day so memorable and lovely!

Lea did a wonderful job bringing to life the vision for an elegant luncheon. The arrangements were natural, full and the guests continually commented on them!

My wedding theme was Woodland Animal/Victorian Naturalist. I did not want traditional-looking bouquets or commonly used flowers. I met with Lea, and explained what I was looking for. She really listened to my ideas, which included adding some fake insects to the bouquets and making them resemble, "the forest floor." Instead of balking at my requests or trying to steer me toward more traditional-type flowers, she jumped right in with amazing suggestions and really collaborated with me to come up with bouquets and corsages that fit my vision perfectly. Between that initial meeting and the wedding, she was quick to respond to emails and questions. On the day of the wedding, I was blown away by the bouquets and corsages she had created. Each piece was so detailed and beautiful! My bridesmaids loved the bouquets as well and we got compliments on them all night long. They looked like pieces of art. I am so happy with Lea's work - and to top it all off, she was very affordable!!!! I cannot recommend Lea highly enough. She was professional, friendly, and her work shows she is a true artist.

Simply put: Lea rocks! My wife and I met with her about four months before our wedding, which we realized wasn't a ton of time. But from our first meeting, Lea had a solid and fantastic vision. She came armed with ideas that immediately impressed us. She worked very well with our budget, and came up with smart, creative ideas for our centerpieces and bouquets. My wife and I are both women and each wanted a special bouquet, and Lea was great about figuring out our individual styles so that we each had something beautiful with which to walk down the aisle. Go with Blackbird Floral and I promise you won't be disappointed!

We searched many floral vendors and for the price range we wanted to stay in they couldn't provide me all that I wanted. Lea was amazing in seeing my vision and when I saw the reception I gasped with joy! It was beyond my expectations. It truly was a garden great Gatsby romantic vision I had hoped for! She is amazing and she is very reasonable in pricing and fair.

blackbird floral was so amazing to work with. on the first meeting Lea was completely prepared and was able to show us different pictures of flowers that we could use. also was a great value for our money. the flowers turned out amazing and i couldn't have asked for anything better!

I truly appreciate Lea's superior customer service and dedication to me as a client. I do not have a knack for flowers, so a floral expert was critical in planning my wedding. I told her what my overall vision and theme was for the wedding, sent her a few of my inspiring photos, tossed around some ideas with her and she took it from there. She has a very good grasp on how different flowers will work in a variety of arrangement and provided very tasteful and honest suggestions. I felt very comfortable with my wedding decor being in her hands and she turned around very beautiful arrangements true to my initial vision. Lea was very easy to contact, worked with me and made suggestions to stay within my budget, and even turned around a beautiful bouquet in short notice for my bridal portraits. I live in Dallas, so working with out-of-town vendors closer to my venue was a daunting task, but Lea made it easy. I would recommend Blackbird Floral to any bride who wants high quality work and dependable vendors.

Lea was outstanding; she brought to life my absolute dream bouquet, and delivered everything to the chapel! The bridesmaids bouquets were beautiful and simple, the boutonnieres were masculine and earthy, the corsages were elegant and lovely, but most of all my bouquet was gorgeous! I gave Lea full artistic control, and I recommend doing the same. She is VERY knowledgeable about flower size, color, smell, and seasonal availability. She even integrated spiritual pendants into my husband's and best man's boutonnieres. The price was reasonable, and her communication was fantastic. My flowers are one of the best memories of the wedding, and they will continue to be as they even dried beautifully.

Lea from Blackbird Floral was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire wedding process. She was so easy to talk to, and I felt like she really took my vision and ran with it. After the first meeting with Lea, I thought I wouldn't be able to budget in all of the different flower aspects I was wanting. I expressed this to Lea, and she worked with me to find the perfect fit that worked for my budget. Lea did all of my bouquets as well as my centerpieces for the reception, and when I saw all of them the day of the wedding, I was completely blown away. Lea went above and beyond, and the flowers turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I was so happy to have found her, and I would definitely recommend Blackbird Floral to any future brides.

Lea is wonderful to work with and created absolutely exquisite arrangements for my wedding! I had a very short engagement and a small budget for flowers and she was completely accommodating - during the consultation she showed me pictures and gave me an idea of the type of flowers she would be able to use on my budget without at all compromising beauty/quality. She is totally an expert and was able to create exactly the look I wanted even with my very limited knowledge of flower types, terms, etc. The flowers were natural, gorgeous and unique. I received so many compliments on them not being the 'traditional boring wedding flowers' but truly artistic creations. My aunt who often hosts high society parties emailed me after the wedding just to tell me how beautiful and unique she thought the floral arrangements were! Lea also did the floral arrangements for our rehearsal dinner and my in-laws were very pleased with her designs for that as well. She really gave me much more beautiful arrangements and better service than floral companies that were quoting me thousands of dollars more for their work. I am so happy that I found Lea/Blackbird Floral. The flowers set the perfect mood for our ceremony/reception and she was so easy to work with (even for an out of state bride like me!) I will be recommending her to all of my friends who get married in Austin!

Lea was wonderful to work with and I would recommend her to everyone (and I already have!). I work in advertising myself so customer service and value are of HUGE importance to me. Lea was not only a great affordable option in Austin, she was so easy to work with throughout the whole planning process. I first met with Lea at Mozart's coffee shop and we walked through my colors and wedding "theme". I didn't have my heart set on any specific flowers, I was more concerned about colors matching my mixed (Hindu and Catholic) wedding and staying within budget. She took her time explaining all sorts of flowers and budget friendly options. About 2 months later, I had a bit of a personal emergency and had to cut my budget. Lea was so wonderful about the situation and did not make me feel at all guilty about having to take out some "extras". In fact, she assured me it would all still beautiful. When all was said and done, I was able to add some back in at the last minute but I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful day! Even without me having specific requirements or preferences for flowers, she took exactly what I had in my head and made it a reality. Her flowers were beautiful, she was incredibly professional but so warm and friendly. I plan to use her for any future event I have, wedding or not!

I worked with Lea of Blackbird Floral for my wedding. Living in the Dallas area and planning an Austin area wedding, Lea and I did most of our communication through email. I sent her pictures and ideas of what kind of look/colors I wanted for the bouquets and centerpieces but wasn’t very picky as to what type of flowers to use. Lea and I did get to meet in person once before the wedding and she was so nice and helpful. She came very prepared with little booklets of just about every type of flower you can imagine and all were organized by color. It made picking out flowers very easy and I left the meeting feeling very confident that Lea understood what I was envisioning. The day of the wedding came and was blown away when she came in with the bouquets! They were more beautiful than I could have imagined and the centerpieces and arrangements were just as gorgeous! Everyone was complimenting on how beautiful the flowers were and how great of a job she did. Lea is extremely talented and I am beyond thrilled with the way the flowers turned out. I would very highly recommend Blackbird Floral for any event!!
