IRIS floral + event design studio

We used Iris Floral for our Welcome Party/Rehearsal Dinner and wedding day flowers. They did an amazing job! They listened to my style ideas and came up with beautiful arrangements for everything! I didn't have a very clear vision to share, just a general concept with likes and dislikes, and what they came up with was perfect! Super responsive and easy to work with, highly recommend!

Incredible arrangements, awesome staff, and the owner is very talented and helpful in creating unique pieces! Highly recommend!

Nicole at Iris Floral was wonderful to work with. Since we were from out of town, we were only able to meet with Nicole once prior to my daughter’s wedding in November of 2018. Nicole’s unique designs were exactly what my daughter and I requested for the ceremony and reception. The bridal bouquet and bridesmaids’ flowers were beautiful! I can highly recommend Iris Floral.

They took my "wants" and brought my vision to life. I couldn't be happier! I was shocked at how perfect everything was, when I didn't give them much to go on. Super responsive and reliable. I definitely recommend! Thanks so much for making my day so special!

They did a beautiful job on my flowers !! More than met my expectations!

Our wedding was planned from afar just months before the date. We live in Florida and our destination of choice was New Orleans. Thankfully IRIS was able to do exactly what we we pictured for table centerpieces, high top tables, cake, and my bouquet. Everything was already set up at Arnaud's for us upon arrival. A few days later when we departed, I had a hard time leaving the gorgeous flowers and gave them to friends, family and even Hotel Monteleone staff. IRIS is fantastic, highly recommended!

Our wedding flowers were beautiful! Not only did they capture our wedding vision, they were also very easy to get in touch with and coordinate timing on the day of. Would highly recommend!

Nicole from IRIS was so wonderful to work with! She met with me in person on more than one occasion to plan floral arrangements even though she was probably swamped. The flowers were gorgeous, and we had several guests compliment them. Highly recommend!

Stunning!!!! When my flowers arrived, they were everything I had envisioned. Nicole was really easy to work with. Give her your ideas and inspiration and get out of the way because she will create the perfect pieces!

We decided to have a small, intimate ceremony down in New Orleans on a Thursday in March. It was a last minute wedding and we only had a couple of months to plan it. We reached out just over two months before the wedding.they took a few weeks to respond, which should’ve been our first hint that they would be difficult to work with. They responded saying they are available on our wedding day and to fill out the form to get our quote and get things rolling. We filled out the form and they said they would have the quote ready within 1-2 weeks and we would proceed from there. 2 weeks came and went and we hadn’t heard anything. The same day I was going to call, we received an e-mail stating they were booked for March and could not accommodate us, this was after they told us we could. They then referred us to basic flower delivery services that don’t specialize in weddings. From all the communications we’ve had, it appears as if they do not want to take on our wedding as it is very small and we only requested a bridal bouquet, 3 boutonnières and a flower crown. They come off as money hungry in everything from their communications to their form. The unfortunate thing is that my fiancé and I would have paid whatever they quoted to make our day special, whether it was $300 or $2500. Now, we only have a month to find a florist that can accommodate us. Very disappointed. If you’re not a big wedding, I do not recommend this money hungry company.

Nicole and team at Iris were a joy to work with, I was so happy with my flowers for our wedding!! As someone who is admittedly clueless when it comes to flowers and had several mini panic attacks trying to research ideas, I was very apprehensive and wary going into our first meeting. But after just 45 minutes with Nicole, I felt so much better and finally felt like I had a grasp on what I wanted. She was able to attain from my hodge-podge of print outs what it was I liked and didn’t and guided me through the different options per cost levels, especially considering the large size of my wedding (300+) and multi-room venue, plus offsite ceremony. What I thought was going to be a nightmare was a dream, and the outcome was more than I could have hope for within a very reasonable budget! I also appreciated her very easy to use ordering software, and how patient she was with our tweaks here and there as our floor-plans slowly came together and then changed again! I highly recommend Iris for any floral needs!

Iris Floral was so wonderful! My wedding took place at Il Mercato on 11/3/18 and my vision was tons of greenery and white flowers - very simple and elegant. Iris Floral brought my vision to life in every way possible, classic and beautiful. Such a great vendor to work with!

IRIS did a fantastic job for my wedding! I sent them some pictures of my vision, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw everything in person. Nicole was great to work with and everything was so beautiful. Thank you!

IRIS did fantastic job with my florals and event design for my New Orleans wedding at the Elms Mansion. Nicole was great to work with - patient, easygoing, and oh-so-talented! I described my vision to her, and she knew exactly what I had in mind. Everything went off without a hitch on the day of the wedding, and our guests were so complimentary of the flowers! I would use IRIS again in an instant!

Nicole was such a pleasure to work with. We went into chat with her to give her ideas of what we liked and what the venue was going to be like and we just decided to let her work her magic. She came to the wedding that day with THE MOST amazing floral arrangements for the bouquets, boutonnières, and floral decor we could have asked for. She has such an amazing talent that you should not over look. I would recommend Iris Floral to anyone. We can't thank her enough for bringing the most beautiful colors to our wedding.

We loved working with Iris Floral for our fall wedding! We gave them our budget, our ideas, and kind of let them do their own thing. We got so many compliments on our flowers from guests and other vendors, and they did an amazing job setting everything up. They were also quick to respond with little things, like flowers for my hair trial. Would definitely recommend them!

I would recommend IRIS floral + event design to other brides without hesitation. Communication with Nicole was a breeze throughout the process of planning my NOLA wedding from the UK. She was responsive and straightforward, qualities that are incredibly valuable when in the chaotic course of long-distance wedding planning. The flowers and decor were absolutely beautiful and the flowers lasted for many days afterwards. Everything looked exactly as I imagined it. Thank you again, Nicole, for everything!

I have nothing negative to say about IRIS! Everything was beautiful! IRIS was able to accommodate all my last minute changes and worked with me to achieve the perfect flowers for my wedding! I wouldn't have changed a thing!

Our wedding flowers were so beautiful! I still get compliments on how elegant my bouquet was, and our reception decor with a mixture of flowers and candles was exactly what I hoped for. IRIS was amazing to work with -- and affordable too!

So easy to work with- they listened to what I wanted, put me at ease, delivered everything on time... and the floral arrangements were stunning! They were exactly what I had envisioned. The price was very reasonable and I could not have been happier.

Nicole is an amazing artist! We asked her to design our flowers however she saw fit because we wanted to allow her creativity to flow...OUTSTANDING!! Absolutely, positively the BEST in the business. Professional, organized, punctual and super friendly. I highly recommend Iris, 150%

We had a destination wedding in New Orleans. Working with Nicole long distance was easy and our flowers were just what I envisioned. Gorgeous!

Iris did an amazing job w the flowers for our wedding. They were willing to customize everything to our liking and we got a ton of compliments on the flowers! Highly recommend.

IRIS Floral did and AMAZING job even I wasn’t even sure of what I wanted. Im a last minute planner and didn’t provide many guidelines…..but the floral arrangements they provided were absolutely beautiful and were exactly what I wanted! I would recommend if any one wants amazing florals!

Our flowers were absolutely incredible. Real show stoppers. The ladies made it so easy for us to portray our very loose ideas into magic. They were very proactive and creative, we could not recommend them more.

Nicole TOTALLY exceeded my expectations with the flowers for our wedding!! I gave her access to a pinterest board with some inspiration and we talked breifly about my vision and she completely nailed it! I really had my heart set on using magnolias-which unfortunately were out of season, but I didn't even miss them with the selections she made! I was trying to be budget conscience and she was so helpful with the back and forth! Everything was spot on- I highly recommend Nicole and her team!

My ceremony arrangements took my breath away. Nicole will pay close attention to your pinterest inspiration and whatever you desire. I highly recommend using this vendor. Thank you so much for making my ceremony and reception beautiful!

Nicole is amazing! I cannot express how pleased I was with my flowers at my wedding. I recently was married in New Orleans on 2/17/18. I hired Nicole after researching a MILLION florists. Nicole stood out to me due to her styling. I could tell she had a wide range of talent. She exceeded my expectations. One thing I really loved about Nicole was her respectfulness of my budget and not suggesting unnecessary items for the wedding. I had a very clear vision of what I wanted and Nicole helped me tailor that vision to my taste and the style of my wedding. My bouquet turned out beautiful as did all the flowers! I have received multiple compliments from people who were not at my wedding on how beautiful they were based on pictures! On top of all this, Nicole is just the sweetest person and so incredible to work with. I was an out of town bride and was only able to meet twice in person and Nicole was super accommodating with my schedule both times. I would highly recommend Nicole and her team, they will definitely deliver beautiful flowers for your wedding!

Nicole was very hard to work with. She refused to make changes and refused to answer phone calls and emails. She also refused to return my deposit and quit the job 3 weeks before my wedding.

Three months after our wedding there are a few things that our guests are still raving about, one being our flowers c/o Iris. Nicole's work was stunning - literally. My guests were fighting over centerpieces at the end of the night! As a self-proclaimed type A bride I had very specific tastes and requests for our ceremony and reception decor. I was nervous that the day of would not live up to my vision but Nicole absolutely delivered. Many of my vendors were blown away by my bouquet, as was I, and my husband continually comments on how amazing the reception flowers and centerpieces turned out that day. I'm still amazed at how after one meeting and a few inspiration photos Nicole was able to nail it, but she did. Thank you so much for making everything so beautiful, Nicole!

Nicole was great to work with for my wedding! I sent her photos of some bouquets I had liked (including one she had previously done), and she made the most beautiful wedding bouquet for me. We also had a simple floral arch with greenery that they set up, and I was incredibly happy with the way everything turned out. I would highly recommend using Nicole and Iris Floral!

I loved working with IRIS! Being an out of town bride I had to put a lot of faith that IRIS would bring my vision to life! And boy did she deliver! I loved everything and my bouquet was STUNNING and even better than I expected. She was such a pleasure to work with and was so accommodating with last minute emails and phone calls to make sure I had everything i wanted. Thank you again!

Nicole and the team at Iris were absolutely fantastic. As an out of town bride, most of our communication was done through email and from her proposal I could tell that she understood what I was looking for and would be able to put her own design spin on it to make it look wonderful. She was even so accommodating to let us stop by during one of our trips to New Orleans before the wedding, and seeing her in action only solidified my confidence in her design abilities. Thanks Nicole!

Nicole did an amazing job! She had great suggestions and was able to create what wanted! My flowers were awesome and I received so many compliments on my bouquet! Definitely recommend her to other brides!

Nicolle did the flowers for my daughter's wedding on 10/20/17. They were absolutely gorgeous! Just what we wanted. We received SO many compliments on the flowers. Nicolle was very easy to work with and to communicate with. I would highly recommend Iris Floral for any special occasion.

I am totally at a loss for words, our floral designs from IRIS were absolutely breathtaking. She completely saw my vision and brought it to life. My bridesmaids, guests and I couldn't stop talking about how beautiful they were, we each kept them for preservation. She also made beautiful arrangements for my hair and the bridesmaids hair which were the perfect touch!!! I would recommend her everyone, such talent!!!!

Great experience!! Iris made it very easy and efficient to make my vision on come true. They gave me exactly what I wanted. Very happy! I would use them again if I got to redo my big day all over again!! Highly recommend.

Great job, Nicole nailed the design I was looking for! I worried about the hydrangeas looking wilted in the New Orleans heat, but they looked perfectly fresh! Iris also provided the candle holders and lanterns for the reception , they didn't have the exact glass candle holders I was looking for but she managed to find them from a local source of hers and rented them directly to me. I couldn't have been happier!

My flowers were beautiful. I'm so happy that IRIS took care of everything. I was able to enjoy my day! Thank you for everything.

Since New Orleans was a destination wedding for us I worked with the talented people at Iris Floral via email only. They were very responsive and helpful. The flowers turned out amazing and delivered on time. I would definitely recommend them.

If I could give IRIS a 10 star review I would. Nicole came up with beautiful, unusual arrangements that fit my style perfectly - she managed to work an artichoke into my bouquet! I am still getting comments on everything from the small table arrangements to the spectacular altar piece . From start to finish they were easy to work with and professional. Thank you, IRIS for helping to make my wedding so beautiful.

I sent Nicole a bunch of pictures of the flowers I liked and she was able to create exactly what I wanted from my bouquet, to my bridesmaids’ bouquets and our centerpieces. I decided I wanted lanterns to line the church aisle at the last minute and Nicole came through. Everything was perfect and she was so easy to communicate with. Nicole could not have made the planning any more convenient. I highly recommend Iris for all brides.

IRIS was wonderful to work with for our wedding at Broussard's and I would recommend them to any bride. I planned my NOLA wedding from Chicago and it was so nice having a vendor I had total confidence in when I couldn't be there in person. The flowers (especially our chuppah) were beyond what I had imagined.

I have received so many compliments about how breathtaking my bouquets were. Nicole listened to my requests and quickly crafted an intricate plan that implemented my vision within my budget. She was quick and reliable with communication and had everything even more perfect than I could imagine on my wedding day. My venue also raved about her work and was glad I was working with her. I would highly recommend Nicole and her beautiful artistry to anyone.

Nicole was amazing! My ceremony and reception were breath taking. She did a phenomenal job. She had everything that I wanted, down to the smallest of details. People called me the day after my wedding asking who my florist was because the flowers that were used were so unique. I wanted "dusty and muted" colors and that's exactly what I got. They were so original, unique and beautiful. She is seriously the best!

Iris florals was so easy to work with! Most of our transactions were done electronically, and because of that, I was able to add/remove items from our contract and communicate ideas very easily. Everything was beautiful and I couldn't give higher praise!

Our flowers were so gorgeous!! I sent Nicole photos of the styles I liked from Pinterest and she was able to create exactly what I wanted within our budget. Our wedding was in the french quarter. Even though it was indoors, we wanted to create the feel of a courtyard space, and she did this perfectly, using lots of vines and flowing sprays of flowers. It was just beautiful—it felt magical walking into our venue and seeing it exactly as we imagined. Thank you so much!!

Iris is absolutely amazzzzing! Working with Nicole was a dream to work with. She was so responsive, creative, and worked well within my budget, even suggesting ways to cut cost without sacrificing aesthetic. But most importantly, she brought my floral vision to life flawlessly. When I saw the final product, my jaw hit the floor. It was absolutely STUNNING. Everyone still can't stop talking about how beautiful the florals were! I'm so glad we chose Iris. Thank you SO much Nicole!!

As a desstination bride in LA it was so important for everything to go without a hitch! Obviously that's not possible :) But we got pretty close! Our day ended up pouring rain on our outside wedding, and Iris did such a great job on matching all of our requests and moving them indoors. She perfectly executed practically every single flower arrangement we asked for, a very pleasant surprise on our cloudy day! The only reason for the four stars instead of five is that there was a problem with my bridal bouquet. I very clearly asked for a cascading bouquet and send five or six pictures clearly showing what I wanted. My bouquet was nowhere near cascading, and was just a simple handheld one. When my mother-in-law tried to contact the florist to tell her the flowers were incorrect, she refused to correct the problem and was snippy with her. So I missed out on my dream bouquet, which was very sad. However, every other decoration she did was absolutely perfect, and we really appreciated all of her hard work!

I wish I could give Iris 10 stars! I LOVED my flowers so so much! Nicole is amazing to work with, she made everything so easy! My wedding was 1 year ago and to this day people that attended still go on about how stunning the flowers were!! Thanks Nicole for making our wedding even more memorable!

Nicole is AMAZING. She's so easy to work with and I felt so at ease upon our first meeting. I just gave her pictures of what I imagined our flowers would look like and I let her do her thing....and did she deliver! The flowers on our wedding day were STUNNING and they lasted the whole night and several days afterwards for us to enjoy. I cannot recommend her enough!

No words describe how beautiful my flowers were! They were everything I wanted and more! She is so talented and really has an eye for this! She is extremely sweet and very professional. Great with communication from start to end! Beyond pleased with her work!

Nicole was great to work with. She was able to take a picture I showed her and perfectly pinpoint the style I was hoping for. I was able to have some flowers that are out of season while still being very affordable. I am in love with my flowers. She was also very accommodating with my desire to have each centerpiece different and worked well with me giving her about 40 different bud vases to use instead of actual arrangements. The flowers were beautiful and my guests enjoyed taking home a small vase at the end of the night. She works with very fresh flowers; so fresh that one of the bridesmaid bouquets that I have was still fresh and beautiful when I returned home from my honeymoon a week later. I would strongly encourage you to meet with her if you are looking for something different than your typical rose and baby's breath arrangement. Fantastic experience.

Everything was absolutely flawless! Being a destination bride meant every detail was discussed via inspiration photos and email. Nicole completely understood what I wanted and ran with it creating my dream florals!

Iris was my floral vendor for my October 8th, 2016 wedding at the Degas House. It was a destination wedding in New Orleans and Nicole was so helpful and wonderful throughout the process. She responded to emails quickly and was nice enough to add center pieces at the last minute! Her prices were also very reasonable. When my flowers were delivered the afternoon of my wedding, I told Nicole that my flowers were the only thing had turned out 100% perfect on my wedding day so far! My bridesmaids loved their bouquets, the groom, his groomsmen, and my father loved their boutonnieres, and the mothers and grandmothers adored their corsages. I received so many compliments on my bouquet and I am drying it now in hopes of saving it forever!
