Margaux, of Fleur de Lis, creates "absolute magic" with flowers! And then,
she highlights these floral gems with additional accents...votives, linens, table numbers, all contributing to a "tablescape mood", ours was "understated elegance" and... Margaux created it all, perfectly!!!
"Thank-you Margaux!"
Ours was a Rehearsal Dinner and it was held at Appleford Estate. I, (mother of groom), was from out of state and referred to Fleur de Lis. Margaux empathetically understood that while I loved all her photos of incredible creative floral arrangements in the most unique
( and beautiful) assortment of vessels, that ours was "Act I" and needed to be "understated, yet elegant" to complement the venue, but not upstage the main event "Act II...the wedding".
And Margaux "got it". She looked at all the photo selections I chose from her website, and she looked at all those floral arrangement photos I had assembled from years of clipping magazines. And we talked, and we talked (rather I talked, she listened). And then finally, Margaux empathetically forwarded a photo of vases...empty vases. These were unique vases...simple, artistic, fragile, and when juxtaposed with rustic bark birch flower vessels (her suggestion) and burnt wooden table numbers...Margaux had created the "look" for our specific selection of flowers and tables, set on the patio in Appleford's lovely garden setting. All was "simply lovely, just perfect".
Working with Margaux is a joy! She is
punctual, pleasant, organized,and empathetic. She is receptive to her clients ideas and respectful of their budget.
Margaux's artistic sense coupled with her extensive knowledge of flowers, plants, their colors, textures, mutual compatibility, and their seasonal availability, all contribute to a thoughtful floral design.
As well, Margaux's vast and varied assortment of floral vessels and misc tablescape items (e.g. Votives, table numbers, linen suggestions,etc) assist in enabling choice of complimentary tablescape items to create the final "mood".
All the staff of Fleur de Lis are pleasant and efficient folks. I appreciated their efforts.
In summary, I highly recommend Margaux and Fleur de Lis for any type of event, wedding, rehearsal dinner, shower, engagement party, bar mitzvah, etc and at any possible venue. Margaux is flexible and most creative with her designs. And she truly is a delight to work with when planning an event. In addition, Margaux interacts very positively with other vendor contacts ( e.g. Caterer, manager of venue, etc).
Again, thank-you Margaux!
