My husband and I recently were married at The Mayo Hotel and we hired Lindi from The Bridal Garden as our florist. Since I was planning my wedding from Washington, DC, I was really looking for someone who could communicate well. Lindi was reall...y helpful in texting me pictures of her ideas, going back and forth via email and searching for pictures while on the phone. Overall, she understood my idea and was flexible in meeting my price range. She is a great value for your money!
Even though we went through practically ever portion of the ceremony, pre-reception and reception decor, I was still nervous leaving it all in her hands. I was so happily amazed when I saw the ballroom was just as I imagined it! She added so many extra touches that I didn't even think that made the look come together. I wish I would have trusted her more to go above and beyond - I really see where we could have gone, had I had more money and less control!
Just as a note, make sure to go over each portion of the invoice with her, and compare any new invoices after making changes to make sure it's exactly right. She was more than willing to honor commitments she had made verbally or via email once I brought any errors to her attention! In the end, I was just thrilled with how wonderfully everything turned out!
