Grow With Us Florist

Robin, the owner, did an incredible job with the bouquets, flower crown, altar arrangements and flower girl petals. I received high compliments on my beautiful flower crown! It really brought it all together. Notably, pricing was MUCH better than competitors! The only thing I'd say was not great and the only reason I'm giving 4 stars, is lack of communication...I struggled to get in touch with Robin at certain occasions and this gave me a bit of anxiety. Additionally, although my crown was gorgeous, it did not have the colors I requested in it. I think this had to do with seasonal flowers and the fact that we waited too close to the wedding date to make a choice, but I was not alerted on lack of availability on those colors. However, in the end I think the crown looked better the way she did it! I say this because I'm quite easy-going, but if you are less lenient, I would be sure to communicate with more detail. Overall, I'd still recommend Robin. We are very pleased! - Marina and Will Rastall

What a wonderful florist! I had no idea what I wanted when I walked into their shop but they sat down and took the time to show me several galleries of beautiful flowers. When we told them our price range, they hit it perfectly and didn't try to sneak in any extra charges, which I really appreciated (that happened to us before!). All the flowers we had were gorgeous and my bouquet was beautiful. They were able to find hydrangeas in every color we needed, and they looked fresh and perky all evening, and the flower they had suggested for the middle, these Picasso calla lilies are now my new favorite flower. The bouquets were delivered quickly and painlessly to my house right at the time I had requested. Again, Grow With Us is a fabulous florist and I would use them again!

Robin was amazing! So easy to work with and does amazing work! She was great with working with my budget.

Robin did my flowers for my Bridal's and I must say - I WAS IN LOVE! I was even bad and ordered them last minute, but they did it with no problem! I didn't have her for my wedding and my other florist was too far for it. But I'll definitely use them from here on out! Loved the service and the outcome! Such sweet people!

Robin is amazing!! I wish this review would let me post pictures. We had these incredible giant gold urns throughout the wedding venue that she did the most phenomenal work on! The fountain had an incredible arrangement on top and it was breathtaking. My mom is a former florist and we are tough critics....this won us over big time!!! Robin was amazing to work with and after getting a few different quotes in the area, I would highly recommend her services. You get big elegant beautiful flowers at an affordable price. Absolutely amazing!! Wish I could've taken all of them home with me :)

Everyone was great to work with and easy to contact. I wish I would have asked for a "preview" of some sort to be included in the package as the flowers were a little pinker than I would have liked or than I envisioned when they said "pale pinks." However, the quality was great. Delivery and set up was right on time. Would recommend

If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting with owner Robin DeFraites at Grow with Us Florist, you must give yourself the opportunity to do so! I had visited another florist prior to my visit with Robin, to whom I was hesitant to commit since I felt that she did not fully understand the "vision" I had for my wedding. Upon meeting Robin, however, I was thoroughly impressed by her talent and appreciated the time she took with me to sit down and review the photos and ideas I had gathered. She made valuable suggestions and was so accommodating every step of the way. I truly enjoyed my experience at Grow with Us and would not have been half as pleased had Robin not been there every moment to make my inspirations a reality for our recent wedding. Thank you, Robin!! Morris - Elmer, May 2013

Robin at Grow With Us did an amazing job with all the arrangements and bouquets. It was better that I could ever imagine. She also had the best prices.. I would highly recommend!!

we had a short time line and Robin was great. Lucky for us she was available on Easter weekend. She had such creative ideas and gave me great ideas on some of my other wedding decor. She was so easy to work with and did everything just as I had wanted. She did fresh flower decorations on my wedding cake and it was just as I had envisioned. She really did have a big role in making my wedding special and just as I had hoped!! Love her- she is awesome!!!

Robin at Grow With Us is the best - she provided every event in my wedding with seriously gorgeous, sometimes creative, sometimes classic flowers and flawless service/professionalism. I had a few sketchy vendors, so Grow With Us really stood out as someone I could rely on to have everything where it needed to be, set up perfectly, on time, and beautiful - every single time. From a short conversation and a few emails of inspiration photos, Robin was able to gauge EXACTLY the look I wanted, and helped me incorporate a perfect selection of the million types of flowers I loved but knew nothing about (in season or not? expensive? bruises easily?). For my parents' anniversary two days before my wedding, she put together a seriously stunning arrangement of varieties I've never seen (in response to a midnight email, I might add). For the rehearsal dinner, she was able to basically duplicate some low-profile center arrangements in antique-looking urns I had seen in a magazine (with lush European-style garden roses that were complimented by guests I didn't even know noticed those things). For the outdoor ceremony, we had a few simple but statement-making dendrobium orchid arrangements, pillar candles along the aisle and "altar", and a chuppah made with branches that perfectly complemented (but never distracted from) the lovely surrounding nature. The reception flowers were also low-profile, but extended unbroken across the tables and were filled with gardenia (like my bouquet!) - but just enough so that when the guests entered the room, there was that beautiful gardenia scent (too much and it totally could have been overkill). Seriously - these people are amazing, and so nice and informal to work with. I know there are some florists in town who are a bit more outwardly enthralled with their own talent, but Grow With Us is every bit as good (or better), and I always felt like their ears (inboxes?) were open to my ideas and suggestions. At the same time, they are definitely creators, and delighted me with their arrangments. If I lived in NOLA, they would totally be "my" new florist.

Grow With Us Florist is EXTRAORDINARY now my favorite florist in town!! I am totally clueless on flowers, but had in mind an idea of what I wanted for my bouquet. As far as all the other attendant bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, and all the arrangements and decorations for my outdoor wedding--I had no idea! The owner was a tremendously helpful. She gave wonderful suggestions and gave me some great ideas. I trusted her so much that on some items I asked her to "make it pretty" because I just didn't know what would look right. The outcome was absolutely breathtaking. When I arrived, my venue was decorated and ready for pictures. EVERYONE commented on how beautiful, delicate and feminine my bouquet was, and even my photographer commented that she had never seen one so pretty. To me that says a lot! The fragrance of the combination of flowers we picked were light and romantic---just like my fairytale wedding. All of the other flowers and decorations were beyond my wildest dreams!! Grow With Us Florist is an excellent choice. They take the time to make everything extraordinary! They were so helpful, very reasonably priced, and were wonderful to work with. They truly put the extra effort into making my wedding extraordinary. I will never be able to thank them enough for making every detail so special! I would HIGHLY recommend them to all Brides! Now that my fairytale wedding is over, I will definitely be using Grow With Us Florist for all my happily-ever-after needs in the future! Melinda
