Melanie with Last Petal did a wonderful job with our wedding florals!! She truly captured exactly what I envisioned and made it even better. I highly recommend Last Petal.
Last petal did an awesome job! My flowers we gorgeous and prefect and I loved everything about them! 10/10😍😍😍😍😍😍
My wedding flowers were perfect. Last Petal was easy to work with and had great prices compared to others in the Austin area. Highly recommended for any Austin area wedding.
Melanie was amazing. She took everything I asked for and ran with it. So many people told me how amazing the flowers were and I can't wait to see them in pictures over and over and over! thank you Melanie!!!!
Melanie Tipton with The Last Petal has the most amazing talent. We had one meeting with her, and she captured our vision above and beyond our expectations. She used a wonderful mix of rich fall colors and textures. Words cannot describe how thrilled we were, and at a most reasonable cost too.
Melanie, thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating the most beautiful setting for my wedding day. You made my vision come true and it was probably one of the best and biggest surprises of the whole day! Brides looking for a wedding florist, you will not regret hiring Last Petal Floral Studio. She is accommodating to brides on and budget and is very professional! I can't recommend her enough!
Melanie was an absolute pleasure to work with and delivered exactly what I wanted. She was so easy to work with, listened to my vision, and then created it beyond what I had hoped for. She also offered tons of great ideas for tying the entire look of the wedding together, from table cards to ceremony decor. Last Petal is also incredibly reasonably priced, which is just the icing on the cake.
Melanie masterfully created an evening that was a beautiful expression of a spectacular and magical wedding and reception. She was able to seamlessly capture my daughter's vision of "happily ever after.". Additionally, she is a JOY to work with and I was never concerned that the masterpiece she would create would be anything less than perfect. She didn't disappoint.
Melanie asks the appropriate questions, listens attentively, then does her magic. Last Petal presents such a high quality design and fresh floral product that we immediately booked Melanie upon our second daughter's engagement. As an extremely satisfied repeat client we can confidently, without any hesitation, recommend Last Petal for a wedding or special event.
Melanie did an awesome job with both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day florals. She worked with our budget and delivered exactly what she promised. We had some communication issues during the planning process, but was otherwise very happy with how the florals turned out.
Last Petal Floral exceeded my expectations when delivering the floral and decor for my wedding ceremony and reception. They are a one stop shop for floral, decor, design, delivery, and setup. Melanie has a large selection of rental options to accompany the floral arrangements which was helpful because it was one less vendor to work with and it made for a really cohesive look and feel. With my Pinterest board and her knowledge of the venue (Omni Barton Creek), she made my vision of succulents (I got to keep them after the wedding!) and muted flowers come to life for my April 2016 wedding. Myself, my family and my guests, were blown away by the results! It was just perfect!
Besides being so happy with the outcome, working with Melanie the months leading up to the event, was an absolute pleasure. She is kind and calm and was willing to work within my budget, letting me know where to spend more money and where to spend less, based on what people will notice. You will love your flowers and your experience if you choose Last Petal to be the florist for your wedding. FIVE STARS!
The flowers for my wedding turned out BEAUTIFUL!! Melanie put together the flowers even better than I had envisioned. I was beyond impressed!! The arrangements were bigger than I thought they were going to be- which turned out just perfect!
However, like other reviews written, Melanie can be very hard to get a hold of. I did not send a lot of e-mails, but when I did, most of the time I would not get a response unless I sent a follow up e-mail a week or so later. She was always very nice and apologetic- but it did become frustrating at times especially as it got closer to the wedding.
With that said, her work is beautiful and she is one of the more reasonably priced florists out there, especially for what she can create. I got a quote for $2,000 more for the same exact floral creation with a different florist just to put it in perspective!
Melanie was so kind to help us work within our budget and the flowers were beautiful. I really appreciate the extra flowers being used as a cake topper for us too. We did really simple arrangements and I appreciate that she followed my out of the ordinary instructions.
I had a MOH work with Melanie to design the florals for my 1/30 wedding on Brazos Hall's roof deck. I knew I liked sunflowers, I knew I liked hydrangeas and that was about all I knew so I was glad when my MOH found a vendor who knew her stuff as well as Melanie did. When she showed up with the most gorgeous bouquets I have ever seen, I could not have been happier. She attached a very special pin that my late father had given me to my bouquet and I was not at all concerned it would get lost - that thing was connected! Arriving at our venue and seeing how amazing the florals looked and how well they tied to the bouquets - it was a dream. Thank you so much for helping to make our best night ever even more special!
When it came to planning our wedding, the flowers were not as important to me as other elements. However, after I met with Melanie and she provided a proposal I started to get a little more excited. Melanie was great to work with and as it got closer to our wedding and a few adjustments needed to be made due to final attendance numbers, she was accommodating with all my last minute requests. When I saw her masterpieces transform our Wedding Venue into exactly as I imagined, I fell in love with her craft. We had several guests comment how beautiful the flowers and candles were. Even my husband's two Uncles who own floral shops up North were highly impressed. Thank you, Melanie, for making me a lover of flowers on our wedding day!
Melanie was incredible to work with. Her beautiful vision for our laid back, lakeside wedding was exactly what I was looking for! Her use of greenery paired with beautiful floral arrangements along with a variety of succulents made for a very elegant, bohemian feel. Melanie was very professional and easy to work with. I gave her a basic vibe that I was looking for and her creative juices flowed. I was stunned when I finally had the chance at our wedding to step back and take in the wonderful ceremony decor and incredibly creative centerpieces. Melanie knew exactly what I wanted and she delivered! I will continue to sing her praises to anyone who is looking for the perfect florist.
I interviewed two florists for my wedding and Melanie just got me and my style. She came up with creative ideas on the spot and recommended some great ideas that really brought the tables together and finished the look. Professional and easy to work with!
Melanie really out did herself! I am notorious for having champagne taste on a beer budget and Melanie was more than able to work with me!! I absolutely adored my floral arrangements and received SO many compliments!
If she is hard to get a hold of never fear! Shoot her an email and she will respond!
Again...I highly recommend Last Petal! Everything was BEAUTIFUL! Thank you!!
I would highly recommend Melanie with Last Petal! She was fabulous to work with from start to finish. At our initial meeting we went through my pinterest board to get a good idea of the flowers that I was interested in. From there she took my ideas and ran with it! She created a fabulous design and flower selection given the 25 pictures I had shown her. She worked with me through all the details... wanting flowers in the back window of our car, reducing table counts, adding wreaths, etc. We set a budget and she worked within our budget while still giving us the flowers we wanted. She was very honest about what was too much and never tried to upsell. Multiple times during the reception I got compliments about how great the flowers looked. Melanie was truly amazing to work with in all ways and I hope she will do my little sisters wedding some day!
Melanie did everything for my wedding, all decor for tables, chalkboards, bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, and cake flowers and everything was beautiful!!
Melanie with Last Petal provided such AMAZING floral design for my wedding this past May. Not only was she willing to work with us on cost (where others were not), she also allowed us to provide our own glassware and accommodated multiple consultations to easy the stress of planning a wedding from across the country. She took our desired concept and brought it to life beautifully!
Melanie and her team were amazing! She was great at taking my ideas and turning them into a reality. We could not have asked for a more perfect arrangement of flowers throughout the ceremony and reception. It was more gorgeous than what we could have imagined.
Melanie made the most beautiful bridal bouquet, whimsical gazebo decor, cute centerpieces, and pretty boutonnieres & corsages for our wedding! Throughout the whole process, she was very patient, easy to communicate with through email, and had many good ideas and suggestions. Melanie was also very conscious of working with our budget! I brought her some pictures of what I wanted and she made suggestions on how to get the same feel without having to use as many flowers. Overall, she was great to work with and produced great floral work!
Melanie from Last Petal quickly responded to all my emails and worked perfectly within my budget and vision. She had a quote complete with a description of what each bouquet, corsage, and boutonniere would look like ready for me within 24 hours of our first discussion. My bouquet was absolutely amazing! She executed everything perfectly and the flowers were such high quality. I couldn’t ask for anything better and I would highly recommend Last Petal. Im so glad I used them for my wedding!
Although I never actually met Melanie, she did a wonderful job on my wedding flowers. They were right within the specifications and requests that we discussed and uniquely beautiful! I got so many compliments on the flowers and how the combination of flowers were so pretty.
Honestly, I feel like a lot of ppl can arrange flowers or put a bunch of flowers in a vase. So, again, I will just stress that I feel like Melanie definitely has an eye for floral design and I was very happy with how the flowers turned out.
The only complaint I would have is that it is a little bit hard to get a hold of Melanie, as I've seen a few other reviewers mention. But, she does a great job and is reliable, so I really can't hold it against her. She seems to get really focused and caught up in whatever wedding is coming up, so I'm guessing she just spends more time actually arranging flowers vs business administrative things.
So, bottom line: Last Petal does gorgeous work. You might not get a lot of communication from Melanie, but don't worry, your flowers will turn out great!
Melanie and the staff at Last Petal helped create the wedding of my dreams! I had a vision for my wedding that was hard for me to put into words. Melanie and her team did an amazing job mixing romantic flowers (lots of greenery, roses and orchids) with a bit a a southwest flare (i.e. glass jars, succulents). Melanie worked so hard to make us happy and stay within our budget - she even met with us in the evenings to be sure we were creating the wedding we desired. My wedding was basically all white and the flowers were the main design element. I was really, really happy with their work. They did an amazing job on the bouquets and table arrangements but also created a gorgeous chuppah for our ceremony. I would highly recommend!!
Everything was perfect down to the Last Petal! Melanie is truly a wonderful person to work with. She goes above and beyond for her brides. My wedding wouldn't have been nearly as magical without her!
Melanie was great... from the moment we met she we were on the same page. Creative ideas within my budget and it was executed beautifully the day of my wedding... My bouquet was absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I wanted! From the gazebo decoration, the bouquets, corsages, boutenniers, and little extra accents on the cocktail tables (that I was not expecting) the flowers were amazing!!! The reception decorations were perfection! Not only was it beautiful, it did not break the bank. Thank you Melanie and staff for everything. I couldn't have been more pleased!
Last Petal was the final florist I interviewed while planning our wedding, and I felt instantly comfortable with Melanie. Right off the bat, I felt like she understood the look we were trying to achieve. We went through several revisions of the bid and Melanie was extremely patient and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. I had a lot of my own items that I wanted to include in the décor, and Melanie was so wonderful about working them in. On the day of our wedding, my bridesmaids and I peeked our heads out to see how the flowers and décor were coming along, and my bridesmaids literally gasped at how beautiful everything was. The centerpieces came out better than I ever imagined. Melanie really paid attention to every detail! The mood of the décor was exactly on point with what I had wanted. I feel that Melanie and her team at Last Petal really paid attention to my ideas, and went above and beyond to make sure the outcome was perfect. I truly cannot say enough good things about Last Petal. The Last Petal team is extremely talented and I am beyond thrilled with the way the centerpieces and décor turned out. I would very highly recommend Last Petal for any event!! Thank you so much, Last Petal, for making my wedding so incredible!!
Melanie Tipton of the Last Petal Florist is so wonderful! I absolutely loved working with her! She was able to really tell exactly what I wanted without me really explaining it well! She is able to take a vision and amplify it, making it a reality. She decorated the venue beautifully, chose the perfect flower for my hair, the boutonnieres for the guys were perfect, and the bouquets for my bridesmaids and i were stunning!!! She is an absolute pleasure to work with. I HIGHLY recommend her!!!
My wedding planner recommended Last Petal, a floral studio and so glad that she did. I did not have an extensive floral budget and Melanine and team provided recommendations that far exceeded my expectatioins! It was hard for me to envision exactly what I wanted, but their proposal was very detailed and put my scattered vision into place. We had some last minute changes and also some special requests (decorating a wagon for my niece to come down the aisle as the flower girl) and they were nothing but overly accomodating and did a fabulous job.
Although I never met Melanie (I was planning from out of town and my mom had the initial meeting with her), I would recommend her to any bride. I didn't have much of a vision for my bouquets, so I just told her the types of centerpieces I needed her to fill and my colors of purple and gold (which I was worried about not having gold flowers in existence) for bouquets. She constructed the most beautiful yellow and purple creations for my girls. Even my friend who has been to 10,000 weddings didn't have a negative word or correction for them. I LOVED! them so much. Melanie's work was awesome.
Melanie was absolutely amazing! We met with her once and discussed our vision for the floral design we wanted. She took a few key points and from there, created an unbelievable result. Our flowers were PERFECT!
She was always responsive to e-mails and had wonderful suggestions to help us achieve the overall look we wanted. We had to make several changes, some very last minute, and every time, she was understanding and handled all of our requests with incredible professionalism.
I would definitely recommend Last Petal to anyone looking for something truly special in their floral needs.
Melanie and her crew exceeded my expectations and gave me the wedding of my dreams, full of extravagant florals, beautiful decor, and fabulous lighting and draping. She does it ALL! And she did it all within our budget.
Melanie was my florist for my wedding. She has a great eye for beautiful flowers. Gave me exactly what I wanted...even what I didn't know I wanted. Very talented and professional.
Melanie did a fabulous job in capturing the look and feel that I wanted. Everything she did was absolutely beautiful!! I loved it all!!! She is truly an artist with flowers. Everything she did was exactly as I had envisioned. Know that you can totally trust her judgement-- she knows what she's doing.
Melanie at last petal is soooo sweet and she delivered everything I asked for and more. The flowers were beautiful and all the decorations were amazing! I wish I had had more time to soak it all in because it was just perfect! The prices were very reasonable too! Would definitely recommend them!!
Melanie did an amazing job for my wedding day. She really got the look and feel I was going for. She was super easy to work with on elements I wanted to incorporate into the centerpieces. She delivered on her promises and more. I was in love with my bridal bouquet (and well the rest of it too)! She is hands down, the best choice for Austin area brides.
My bouquet was one of my top highlights of the day, it was breathtaking! Melanie did an amazing job working with by budget and executing my vision. I do wish my bridesmaid's hydrangea bouquets lasted longer... but everything turned out well.
Lovely flower arrangements made our wedding event look fun and elegant at the same time. Last Petal got our requirements - kept costs down and found creative, interesting design ideas. Excellent business practices - helpful quote document allowed us to pick what we wanted from an array & we knew exactly what we were getting. They have an artistic eye & improved on our ideas.
Wow, Last Petal did an AMAZING job with my reception flowers & bouquets. I live out of town, so we did most of our correspondence over email. Last Petal was flexible with all the changes I made along the way and their prices were very reasonable. I have to admit, I was sort of nervous to see the what the reception looked like on the big day (I had never been to the studio!) - but I was very pleasantly surprise. Everything looked absolutely beautiful!!! I couldn't have been more pleased - I'd definitely recommend them to all of my friends!
I was very happy with the service I recieved although some of the flowers we discussed I was a little disapointed with. Everything came out beautiful, just not as I had envisioned when we talked. When we met there were not a lot of albums of references available for me to look at. I had to bring most of my own. They also charge for follow up meetings. However overall everything turned out great.
The flowers were amazing. Melanie did a great job of listening to my ideas and incorporating hers as well. Everything turned out just as I wanted. Last Petal understands you are on a budget and does not try and push you into spending above your alotted amount. They came up with great ways to use the flowers from the ceremony at the reception to help save.
I had a really hard time finding florists in the Austin area that would return my phone calls. Melanie at Last Petal was recommended to me by a women who works with my husband and who used to work in a wedding venue. She was much better at communication than any other florist that I found but still not as great about getting back to me as I would have prefered.
I didn't have a true vision for my floral work and Last Petal did a great job using my basic style and colors to give me beautiful flowers that really pulled it all together. They also worked with me to keep on budget but make my reception look amazing.
We did have a few small mistakes on the day of the wedding, the mothers were supposed to get wrist corsages and one of our other personal flowers was missing, but other than that everything was great.
I don't know what it was with the florists that I tried to get in touch with, but Last Petal ended up being the most open with communication.
I didn't have a very large budget for flowers, but I LOVE flowers. Melanie was wonderful. She worked within my budget and was creative, using hypericum berries for boutonierres. I sent her a swatch of the fabric from my bridesmaids' dresses and she matched it exactly with the ribbon she used. I told her I loved sweet peas and sure enough, there were sweet peas everywhere! She even surprised me with another favorite flower, lilacs, that I have no idea how she found in TX.
I am incredibly impressed by Melanie and her team at Last Petal. Everything was done exactly how we hoped it would be, and of course - beautiful. Plus, Melanie went above and beyond the call of duty to find a way to get it all done. None of the other vendors we interviewed would agree to do everything we asked for. But Melanie and her team were willing to take on the challenge and found creative ways to get it all done within a reasonable cost.
Last Petal did an awesome job. The design was exactly as we discussed and I had envisioned. The flowers were gorgeous. We decided to go with in season flowers and the look was effortless but took hours I'm sure. It was definately a showpiece to the entire event. I even had guests ask if they could take a table bouquet!
We hired Last Petal for our wedding in September.
Melanie is very easy to work with and super creative. We live in Chicago, so I had one in person meeting with her where we talked about everything I liked and didn’t like about wedding flowers. She had great ideas that fit with my sensibilities. And yep, she’ll work with your budget. We gave her a price, she gave us beautiful flowers to fit. If there was a flower I liked that was too expensive, she had a cheaper alternative.
I should also mention that Melanie really came to the rescue with an issue that popped up just days before the wedding. She was so accommodating about the last minute change and had a solution that was beautiful and fitting with everything else we had planned.
Melanie is so creative! I wanted to keep within a certain budget, and have a lot done for that price. She made it happen!! She suggested different ways to use the flower, and reuse some items from church at reception. I've used her for two other events since the wedding and she performs flawlessly!!;She lives in LaGrange and does weddings in Austin and Houston. This is not a negative, but she doesn't work exclusively in Houston. She books up quickly!
