We had a great experience with Elishia, the owner of Lakeside Floral. From the first meeting, we were pretty much set on her because of her pricing (very good deal for what we needed), quality of work, her personality, and her desire to help us... achieve our overall vision. Elishia took her time to get to know us and to understand what we were looking for. She discussed all options of what flowers were in season and which were not, and was able to advise on alternatives since a few of our flowers were out of season (we could've got them, but they would've been much more expensive). We also mentioned what we wanted to do for our centerpieces and how we weren't looking forward to spending a ton of money on putting them together. She said she had almost everything we needed to complete them and could use them free of charge, as long as we returned within four days after the wedding. This alone saved us nearly $2000. It's hard to envision what your bouquets will look like, especially if you're going off a Pinterest photo and you aren't a florist. She has faux flowers on hand so she can create a similar arrangement for you to actually see in the shop which was so helpful. We exchanged several emails throughout the planning process and she was very responsive. We also added a few last minute "extras" to our bouquets and she was able to accommodate, no problem. The delivery service on the day-of was great, too. Although someone else delivered the arrangements, they were also very courteous and professional, and even helped my mom set up guest tables (which the gentleman totally did not have to do!) The only complaint (if you can even call it that) is that we were imagining the two arrangements on our ceremony arch to be a bit bigger vertically with more greens (and they appeared as just a cluster of flowers). Other than that, the colors and flowers we chose panned out wonderfully in the arrangements and were exactly what we were looking for! We received a ton of compliments on them and they lasted about a week and half afterwards (to which our parents got to enjoy since we were off to Hawaii). If you're looking for a florist who can accommodate your budget without sacrificing what you have in mind, Elishia at Lakeside Floral is your girl! You'll even get to meet the cutest shop dog ever, Bianca!
