Fabulous Flowers

h, willing to offer suggestions and solutions, and the kindest person you will meet. I am so incredibly happy I made the decision to partner with Ken because his art and hard work was the perfect touch to a memorable day. Hurry up and book Ken now. You’ll be so happy you did. Bravo Ken and Fabulous Flowers!

what I wanted. I highly recommend Ken!!

rked within our budget. Too, he was quick to respond to all communications and was there on the big day, placing flowers on the cake & arranging a gorgeous mantelpiece floral display. The bridal and bridesmaids' bouquets were perfect! Can't say enough good things about Ken & Fabulous Flowers - and I've been an event planner for years.

till classic. He is also SO much fun to chat with! My mother also hit it off with him and we all really enjoyed all of our conversations and planning with him. I even texted him relatively last minute that I wanted to go in a slightly different direction with my bouquet and sent him a picture. He responded right away and said it was no problem! He also gave our dog, GiGi, some beautiful flowers for her collar. It was the sweetest touch. The day of my wedding, he came in very calm, yet excited, and I was so happy to see him! He told me he was ready to show me my bouquet. I had not really thought much about my bouquet after the planning, but when he presented it to me I was so thrilled. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen! It was purely gorgeous and everything I could have imagined. He was also able to attach some blue trim from one of my bridesmaids dresses to it last minute (hours before the wedding) because I did not have "something blue". He also attached some charms to it that had pictures of my husbands family members who have passed away. Each touch that he worked on was so special. And he took time to make sure it was done right. He also had flowers for our cake that were amazing. He sent me pictures to choose from and then the day of, he worked with my mother to make sure it looked great. Ken was truly a dream! I loved working with him so much. He was so kind, fun, professional, and brilliant. I would recommend him fully to anyone!

ds!

with - professional, kind, and skilled. So many thanks!!!

show. He also was able to customize a proposal for us in several different ways so we could budget most effectively, which we really liked because he understands the budgeting aspect and helped us find the right package that worked for us. We had numerous options from him, from Arch decorations, bouquets, centerpiece arrangements and more, all fully customized and to our specification. Our guests complimented us on how great the floral decorations were. We highly recommend Fabulous Flowers for any event in the New Orleans area

was delivered on time to 2 different locations, the event space for the decorations and the hotel for the personal florals.

d the arbor decorations came out simply perfect. It was a pleasure!

es at the bridal prep location and the gentlemen at the chapel where the ceremony was taking place. My husband even made it a point to tell me how kind and helpful the florist was with setting things up and making sure all of the gentlemen knew what was what. Ken is an artist for sure and everything looked absolutely stunning! No matter what your budget is for flowers, he will make it look fantastic! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! THANK YOU, KEN!

o was one of the few florists I contacted that not only worked with my budget, but made me feel like my minimalist style was beautiful. The finished product was even better than I had hoped for. He did the bouquets and boutonnieres for my wedding, and hand delivered them on the day! I never had any doubts in his customer service. He will really go beyond for you. I couldn't have been happier with my experience, and it was so reassuring and refreshing to work with someone so professional, accessible, and I must say, fabulous.

o work with and knowledgeable about flowers. Ken was just that. He able to put together the most perfect bouquets with the little information we provided. He also gave me flowers for my hair that I received compliments for all night. He was so easy to work with, responds very quickly, and we would highly recommend! xoxo, Melanie & Roy

ur flowers looked perfect, exactly how we envisioned. And very reasonably priced. I would recommend 100%.

contact as well but we communicated solely via email and the finished product was exactly what I had envisioned. Day of, he was so helpful! He made sure all the boutonnieres were on correctly and even popped in to congratulate me! Ken waited for the cake to be delivered and arranged the flowers on it. His attention to detail and care for the client really showed and that’s what I really appreciate. I highly recommend using Fabulous Flowers!

the church. Very reasonably priced. You will not be disappointed if you book with FF! -Ciara Veal

deas and changes. Ken is super understanding and accommodating! He was so helpful to us on our big day and the flowers were stunning! My sister and I both had Ken as our florists for our weddings and he does not disappoint! We love Ken!!

true. Aside from his lively and friendly personality, Ken’s utmost professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail is priceless. Ken truly cares for his clients and his passion and care are exemplified in his work. Fabulous Flowers is worth every petal.

or the first time, exactly as I described, plus a little better ;) Thank you Ken I would recommend you to anyone planing a wedding in Nola. You did an amazing job!

ents were moved appropriately. I Definitely recommend fabulous flowers!

sion we were looking for. Ken was extremely patient and put together thoughtful recommendations that added such beauty and grace to the event. I remember looking around in awe of the farm tables and all the other accents around the property. Halle and I could not have been happier with the gorgeous floral arrangements at our wedding. Ken is absolutely amazing to work with and is a wonderful person. You cannot go wrong!

important for every bride! The decor he set up for our wedding, complete with flowers, pedestals, and candles, was absolutely gorgeous. Thanks so much for all your hard work Ken!

while we were planning the flowers. So many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the flowers were. You will not be disappointed.

t was exactly as I had dreamed! He stayed for the ceremony and wished me luck. I even saw him afterwards as we took pictures and he praised what a beautiful ceremony we had. If you want a florist that will do everything in his power to give you the wedding you have always hoped for, Ken is your man! Thank you so much!

ho, I thought, was going to remember mine? Would I remember mine? Ken - despite my total lack of enthusiasm and zero vision - was able to make absolutely stunning centerpieces that worked perfectly for my wedding. He knew what to ask me. He knew what suggestions to make. And he just did a great job pulling it all together. Everything was beautiful. He got everything there on time - despite a crazy rain storm the day of my wedding. And everything looked perfect. I couldn't have dreamed up a better set of flowers. And he worked with me to find what would work in my budget. Everything he did from day one to the wedding was perfect. I highly recommend him.

islikes and he provided me with wonderful flowers!!! Would completely recommend him.

l work in everything from the bouquet designs to the ceremony pedestals. Ken was sure to ask targeted, thoughtful questions from the very beginning to understand our vision and preferences for our wedding day. In particular, he understood our preference for incorporating flowers from the outdoor ceremony into the reception venue decor and immediately had great ideas and solutions for laying out the flowers in the reception space. He exceeded our expectations in creating simple, elegant floral designs that complemented everything from our attire to the aesthetics of both venues. We could not be happier with Fabulous Flowers and highly recommend Ken to any future NOLA bride and groom!

. It is a must to work with a florist who is creative, reliable, punctual and professional especially when you're planning a wedding from out of town. Each and every floral arrangement was MAGNIFICENT. Thank you so much Ken for helping to make my special day PERFECT.

d ideas. It's so hard for me to give up control, but after telling Ken what I wanted, I left everything in his hands. My wedding day flowers could not have been more perfect. They were everything I wanted and SO much more, and I honestly can't say enough great things about Ken and his amazing talent. We had, hands down, the best day of our lives, and I'm so glad we entrusted Ken to help make it so special. If we were to do it all over, we would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thanks again for helping make our day so perfect!!!

th Ken. He took the little vision I had and turned it into the most incredible flowers/arrangements/table pieces/bouquets I have ever seen!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, PICK KEN for all your flower needs! I could go on and on, he is just incredible! thank you KEN, for all your hard work and dedication for our big day! You truly made my wedding magical. - Kathleen and Bret Theriot/ Southern Oaks Plantation 11/19/16

re married during Christmas week and were thus not allowed to change the existing floral arrangements in our cathedral. I also used candelabras for half my centerpieces reducing cost.) Some florists I talked to wouldn't even work with my small budget. Ken didn't even flinch! I wanted to throw a black tie Gatsby themed wedding with black and gold theme. Ken came up with amazing avant-garde bouquets utilizing black ostrich feathers and gold painted leaves to accent the white flowers. His centerpieces were gorgeous and utilized gold curly willow branches extending from the florals to match our theme. I was in love with them all!!! I can't recommend Ken enough -- he is a true artist and will capture exactly what you want by taking the time to really consult you and understand your vision along the way. Thanks Ken!!!

bsolutely gorgeous. He was so great to work with the entire year we planned our wedding. It was exactly two months ago today at the Tea Room. Loved Ken and his work!

uquets, corsages and boutonnieres to include these flowers. I brought a picture of my mother's bridal bouquet from the 50's and Ken recreated her bouquet for me. Ken's prices were competitive with other florists. What Ken offers that others do not offer is personal service as he met me at the church and personally delivered the flowers. He was a delight to work with during the planning process and we could not have been more happy with his work. I highly recommend Ken.

day of the wedding. The flowers were so beautiful. I will recommend every bride to work with Fabulous Flowers, it is stress free and affordable.

y available and told us he'd not only be able to set up all the flowers but also double as our day of coordinator. His arrangements were beyond beautiful, my only complaint is that I didn't get to carry around my bouquet enough because I was so busy. It was gorgeous and exactly like my inspiration photo. His table arrangements were beautiful and he created several different looks for the reception decor. He was friendly and really easy to work with and get a hold of. Thank you Ken!

pes and colors based on my Pinterest photos and ultimately created the perfect displays. I also loved that he suggested moving flower displays from the ceremony and reusing them in the reception! Day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about a thing; he delivered the bouquets and rental decorations (pedestals, vases) to the venue, and worked with my bridesmaids and the venue coordinator for a seamless, care-free execution. Thanks, Ken!

ers for bridesmaids and groomsmen.. Then we discussed floral decor for the reception and church. Ken made curly willow trees to surround the band and dance floor which were lit with STARRY STRING lights from Restoration Hardware.He also decorated (6) mantles in the old home.The bridal bouquet was the highlight of all designs with peonies,roses , lisianthus , wax flower, orchids and a live garland of stephanotis vine woven in between. We had so many comments on the beautiful designs. I would tell anyone who is planning a wedding to call Ken first to discuss floral designs--He is an artist who will design just for you and you will be 100% satisfied.

ating my theme. Time spent with discussing flowers was more fun than I could have ever imagined! The arrangements were so fresh, fragrant, and so beautifully put together - hands down, I plan on using Fabulous Flowers for ALL future events! Friendly, accommodating, professional and only the best blooms! Thank you so much, Ken, for going above and beyond our expectations!!! Happy bride and groom!!!

icing (including delivery fees) was very reasonable compared to quotes from other vendors. I didn't know what to expect simply because I don't know much about flowers, but when I saw them all laid out perfectly I knew I made the right decision to go with Ken. I couldn't have expected better flowers.

o “live” to be used the next day for our brunch. Even when we changed things up the last minute, you were so easy to work with. Everything was truly so very beautiful, simply fabulous flowers!

he process. He has great ideas and visions and is able to incorporate any that you have as well. I LOVED all the flowers on my wedding day and every arrangement he made. I was an out of town bride and Ken welcomed me and my bridesmaids to come by his shop when we got in town to review everything and make any changes if we weren't satisfied. Also important to note- my wedding and reception were in the same room so there was some additional setting up and arranging that needed to be done in between. Ken graciously stayed and moved all the arrangements to tables to make sure everything looked perfect. His customer service is second to none. Although my wedding was 11 months ago and I'm behind in my reviews, I couldn't go without giving Ken some recognition because he truly deserves it.

et with Ken for the first time, he was very helpful in explaining the different options, costs, flowers and many other questions. After meeting with him, he sent me a detailed proposal listing out the options for flowers, arrangements, colors, costs, etc. I was very impressed that he included all of the little details we discussed. He always had the correct/updated information on what I wanted even throughout many questions and changes on my part. He met with me three different times and was very helpful and patient in explaining and going over everything with me, as well as with my family. The day of the wedding, he made sure that everything went smoothly with all of the flowers. He showed up right on time for everything for my wedding day, and I especially liked that he tended to the deliveries. One of the most important things for me in picking out a wedding florist was to have someone you know you can count on, and I definitely knew I could count on Ken. Our flowers were absolutely beautiful! It was a wonderful experience, and I will certainly be recommending Ken/Fabulous Flowers to any brides. I am so grateful and incredibly happy to have worked with Ken! -Hope

f the family!

ged multiple times, and turned it into my dream design. Ken is very professional, attentive, and personable.

ld Ken the types of flowers and the shades of color I'd like to have - and he did the rest with the final product exceeding all of my floral expectations. Better yet, I drove home from New Orleans 2 days after my wedding with my bouquet and all of my bridesmaids (6) bouquets. Upon returning home, I was astonished to see that they had not been damaged or ruined by being thrown into the car with all of our luggage. In fact, I placed them all in separate vases and watched the flowers grow more beautiful by the day (not joking) until I decided to dry them out for sake's keep a week 1/2 later. Given this, Ken delivers the very best product (floral design/flowers/etc) than you could ever ask for! Lastly, you could not work with a better vendor then Ken - his personality is to die for. He is a gem! Thanks KEN!!!!!!! Love, Sara DeJay Armstrong - Willis and Jack Turner Willis - 3.5.16 - Elm's Mansion - New Orleans

hat I wanted. Everything was perfect. He was responsive to every email and phone call. I truly was blown away by my arrangements (cake flowers, floating gazebo garlands, my bouquet) and I wholeheartedly recommend working with Ken for any price, but on top of it all - Ken will work with your budget so that you get all that you want at an affordable price! What's better than that!

o lucky to find such an affordable florist who used such quality blossoms. I live in California, got married 9/18/15 took my flowers back to California with me (on the plane and everything) on 9/22/15 and my flowers remained perfect! They didn't even start to wilt until well after a week and a half! And after all they had been through! He took my vision and ran with it. Thank you so much Ken!

l. Our flowers not only matched our wedding colors, but were absolutely stunning (and were within our budget)!  Ken can do pretty much anything you can think of when it comes to flowers. Three months before our wedding my father passed away and Ken, on his own, made some beautiful flower arrangements for my father’s memorial. On the day of our wedding he was able to insert a piece of the bow tie my father was to wear into my mom’s corsage, which really meant a lot to her and to us. She received compliments all night.    The one little hiccup that we had the day of the wedding Fabulous Flowers was there to help. I decided to give my groomsmen bow ties to wear in the wedding as a gift. While the guys and I were getting ready we realized that none of us knew how to tie a bow tie. Ken was there within minutes and tied 12 perfect bowties! After seeing Ken’s studio on our first visit we knew our flowers were going to be beautiful, what we didn’t know was they would be the talk of the wedding. I’m so thankful for the reviews that previous newlyweds have left for Ken, they were spot on. Every review we read about Ken and Fabulous Flowers raved about how much they loved their flowers and we agree 100%. I can’t put into words how great of an experience it was working with Ken throughout our engagement and wedding day. Every detail was just right. I’m very thankful for all the time that Ken gave us, there was never a lack of communication on his end. I highly recommend Fabulous Flowers. By choosing Fabulous Flowers you can eliminate a lot of the anxiety that comes along with planning a wedding. You will make a new friend, enjoy every meeting with him, and at the end you will be more than pleased with his work. - Jon Juhas

a pretty tight budget. Ken had us over to look at pictures of flowers and show us different varieties of green stuff (is this the technical term?) from his garden to add to the bouquets. Unlike many of the other florists we spoke with, Ken was very respectful of our budget and worked with us to keep costs down. He was also always quick to respond to emails, which as any bride knows is very much appreciated. On the day of the wedding, I was so excited to see the flowers – they were just beautiful. We got so many compliments on our bouquets, and our chuppah was perfect – really simple, but just gorgeous. I would definitely recommend Fabulous Flowers for any event – Ken will work with whatever vision and budget you have.

erything, and was incredibly helpful during the whole process! What a delight to work with!

oomsmen as well as decoration to help bring the HHHI to perfection. Ken was easy to work with and exceeded our expectation. May I add this was a destination wedding, so I relied heavily on Ken's work ethic, which he did not disappoint. Thank you, Ken. You made our day so memorable!

and they were spot on perfect. He was honest and the best to work with. Thank you Ken for such beautiful flowers for my groom and wedding party.

easy. As a bride who was not very picky, he made sure the few reuqests I did have were met. On our wedding day, he delivered without any issues. The flowers were fresh, crisply cut and arranged beautifully. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable not only to us, but to our guests.

answered emails and phone calls quickly. I would recommend, because I told him I really wanted to stick to a budget and he made everything look great for a great price!!!

before the wedding. Our flowers turned out to be just amazing, really really beautiful, even on the small budget that we had. He was so easy and fun to work with, and even delivered our flowers to two locations to make it easier on us the day of the wedding. Thank you Ken! To the brides that are like me and lost when even thinking about choosing a florist or flowers…make it easy on yourself and choose Fabulous Flowers! I am sure glad I did and you will be too!

Bride

l day, he was right on time, did an amazing job and gave us the biggest congratulatory hug!! I highly recommend Fabulous Flowers!! Brides, call and book your event today!

ad several books that I was able to look at to narrow my floral arrangement down. He was also available via email or phone calls if I had any questions. I can be decisive sometimes and he was patient throughout the process. My floral arrangements, bouquets, boutonnières, corsages were perfect. I'm glad I chose him as my florist. Everything was beautiful. Thank you Ken for doing a great job!

because I, admittedly, had low interest in flowers. After hearing about a friend's wonderful experience with Fabulous Flowers, I booked an appointment with Ken to talk wedding flowers. Working with him was a breeze! He sent me an initial query to find out my preferences, colors, number of people, etc. After receiving my information, we met in person to go over options. Despite my laid back approach to wedding decor and flowers, Ken was completely respectful and patient with me. I did not feel pressured to do anything just for the sake of it.I knew I wanted a classic, minimalist look to complement, not compete, with my City Park wedding. Ken made numerous suggestions and together we reviewed photo albums of his past work to decide what would work best for my wedding. After the initial meeting, Ken sent me a proposal that included various prices depending on how much or how little I wanted to include in the arrangements. From the start I was able to cater my options to fit my budget. I loved this aspect of Fabulous Flowers! Ken's approach allowed me to customize my choices so I could make my bouquet stand out while keeping the table decor minimal, or vice versa. Ken was completely approachable and responsive to changes I made to the initial proposal. After all was said and done, we were thrilled with our flowers and decor! The end result exceeded my expectations and everything looked stunning. My bouquet was a mix of blue hydrangeas, with white garden roses, ranunculus, and greenery that complemented the blue and white. The bridesmaids bouquets were gorgeous and elegant with complementary white and mini green hydrangeas amongst other great florals. The table settings included a mix of single stem hydrangeas and floating candles. The centerpieces were fresh, fragrant, and beautiful and lasted for many days past the wedding. Ken was hard at work the day of the wedding and ensured everything looked exactly as planned. I am so grateful for his service and I am incredibly happy to have worked with him. I would recommend him to any bride, laid back or decor-conscious, because he is adaptable to meet the needs of the customer and he will NOT disappoint. Fabulous Flowers is just that, Fab-U-Lous!

h a touch of BLING in my bouquet of peonies and lily of the valley. It was stunning. The table arrangements were incredible. Thanks for making our wedding so perfect.

w big or small and the flower arrangements will be gorgeous. He also drove 30 minutes to deliver my flowers on my wedding day!! Couldn't have been more pleased with the service and product!!

was stunned to see how beautiful all the arrangements were and all the care Ken obviously took to make sure everything looked perfect. He even left me an extra arrangement for my welcome table as a surprise! I would highly recommend Fabulous Flowers and Ken Marino to any bride. The prices were great and the flowers were gorgeous!
