Laurelwood Designs

owers! I couldn't sing their praises enough. My bouquet was absolutely stunning. I had it preserved so I can keep it with me forever! I had a general vision and trusted Laurie to run with it. I'm glad I did, because her work is 100x better than anything I could have imagined! We knew we were in good hands from the start. So looking forward to working with Laurelwood again next summer!

ith. She is so talented and the decor was absolutely stunning! She completely understood exactly what my daughter wanted from the very first meeting and exceeded our expectations! Recommendation is an understatement. 100 stars!

what we wanted. We were originally supposed to get married 4/18/20 but needed to delay our wedding due to Covid. Laurie was extremely understanding and flexible when it was time to make these updates and changes. We recently decided to have a small ceremony this month and Laurie has saved the day again coming up with great suggestions to help make our day beautiful and special.

et was what I had always dreamed of. Working with her was a joy.

It was as though Laurie could read my daughter's mind and created exactly what she had pictured as far as color, shape, and texture for all of the bouquets, centerpieces and ceremony pieces. The flowers were fresh, plentiful and we couldn't have been more pleased. Everything arrived on time and her team was professional. I would highly recommend Laurelwood - the flowers Laurie does are gorgeous!

arch and bouquets; and our reception looked even more romantic and elegant than I imagined. Laurelwood Designs is a vendor you can trust and rely on!

d her vision is out of this world.

y she executed on our big day. She has such a gift for hearing what we had in mind and then translating it into reality. She knows her craft so well and was able to make recommendations based on our initial requests, which really enhanced the overall aesthetic (that everyone has been complimenting, by the way!) She spent time and really listened to us and never flinched at my various requests (e.g. succulents in my bouquet, succulent boutonnières, floral hoops for my bridesmaids vs. traditional bouquets, etc.) and she really nailed every last detail. On the day-of, her team was wonderful, prompt and made sure everything looked picture perfect. We are still so over the moon with how everything turned out and would do it all again in a heartbeat. We’d highly recommend Laurie to any and everyone who is looking for floral perfection. Thank you so much, Laurie! — A & K

lked through my vision and she seemed to instantly bring it to life through her creative mind. She assured us that we could have exactly what we were looking for within budget - and even suggested alternatives for in-season flowers to keep costs down. The day of the wedding, Laurie and her assistant arrived at our venue super early to set up. We opted for a mix of high and low table centerpieces, sweetheart table, escort card table, and gift table arrangements in addition to floral arrangements specific to the venue's architecture. Every arrangement was STUNNING. I am consistently asked who my florist was for our wedding because Laurelwood is simply incredible. The flowers were exactly what I asked for and they tied together beautifully with all of the colors of our bridal party's attire and the venue itself. I couldn't recommend Laurelwood Designs enough!

accommodating throughout the process. She took my vision and turned it into a work of art. She and her team did an amazing job at my wedding and we received many compliments on the flowers!

ton of options and ideas to choose from until we found exactly what worked for my husband and I. When the flowers arrived on our wedding day, the bouquets literally took my breath away. Laurie is truly talented, and knows what she is doing. The flowers were fresh, and the bouquets were used throughout our reception as well for our sweetheart table, and looked beautiful all night long. I will recommend Laurelwood to everyone I know-- they are that good!

g for my wedding. When we sat down to discuss everything she opened up her portfolio on her computer to show me past weddings she has done. It was so helpful to see her work and point out what I loved and wanted for my own wedding. Our wedding day ended up being the hottest day of the summer, so we moved our ceremony inside. Laurie, knowing I was a little upset about the move, made sure that the inside ceremony spot looked absolutely stunning. She is so talented!!! Right before the let our guest into our reception they gave my husband and I a sneak peak of the ballroom and I started to cry. It was everything I ever wanted. The flowers were just absolutely gorgeous from the centerpieces, to the fireplace, our cake, and cocktail decorations. Every detail exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend using Laurelwood designs, you will not be disappointed!!

ds couldn't believe how beautiful their bouquets were. Laurie is also super sweet and easy to work with which is unfortunately not always the case in the wedding industry! She is not salesy at all and truly listens to what you want and helps you do it within your budget. I can't recommend Laurelwood enough!

size of the pieces. They all photographed beautifully! I loved the wristlet she made for me (and my son-in-law's mother) which exactly matched and complimented my gown. Laurie is a consummate professional and so lovely to work with. Thank you, Laurelwood!!!

was out of office taking care of a personal matter, she made sure to respond to our inquiries right away and even took the time to make us a sample table 2 months before the wedding. We would hire her again for all our future floral needs. Thanks Laurie!!

y one meeting, Laurie made a mock up of my centerpieces so I would know exactly what they would look like come the wedding day. I cannot stress how important it is to see a sample before the big day! Seeing the sample, relieved all the stress of planning the floral aspect of my wedding because I knew Laurie had it covered. I received endless compliments from all my guests on her work. I cannot thank her enough for her kindness, professionalism, and her creativity while planning my wedding.

did. I was very lucky to have a gorgeous winter wedding, and Laurie executed my flowers and centerpieces perfectly. My flowers were ivory, cream and blush with lots of greenery to contrast my wine bridesmaids dresses, and my centerpieces were beautiful lanterns, candles, greenery and pinecones on long farmhouse tables. Laurie executed my vision with perfection and grace. Almost every person at our wedding commented on how beautiful every little detail was, and many engaged couples there asked for her information! During the wedding planning process I reached out to Laurie a few times with questions and changes. She would answer me so quickly, and give me concept ideas and recommendations in each email. Laurie was so trustworthy, professional and kind. I cannot recommend Laurelwood Designs enough - thank you Laurie and your team for making my day absolutely perfect!

helpful to our budget. The flowers were stunning and kept really well after the wedding. Her team handled set-up and break down and could not have been easier to work with. I had nothing to worry about.

experience. Laurie designed the most amazing reception and ceremony space I could have ever dreamed of. She is unbelievable at what she does. My wedding would not be as special if it wasn't for her, and I'm truly glad we chose her as our florist! The time and detail she put into our way went above and beyond any expectations we could have ever had. Every person that was at our wedding including the staff told us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to, all thanks to Laurie.

y made the process easy and fun. She takes what you want into consideration and works within the budget you have allocated for flowers. I received so many compliments on the flowers and LOVED how they turned out in the pictures!!

t made everything come true. She was a pleasure to work with, and was not overwhelmed by my Type-A personality.

vision. We used several of her services and were so glad we did. We began with beautiful bridesmaid bouquets that looked better than I could imagine and were light for the girls to hold. The boutonnieres matched our flowers perfectly. My arrangement was beyond what I wanted- it was perfect. The flowers in the church, at the reception, and the lower table arrangements were gorgeous. We also rented the flower girl basket as well as the card box. Perfect! We asked Laurie to add fresh flowers to our cake and received soooooooo many compliments. Finally, Laurie made two ginormous, gorgeous bouquets for our parents. They were absolutely perfect. As I reread my post, I continue to read the word perfect. My entire experience working with Laurie at Laurelwood Designs is summed up with this word.

ith high ceilings and big, beautiful windows. As an interior designer I know making such a grand space feel intimate, romantic and warm is something only the very talented designers can create. Laurie did just that. All of Laurie's suggestions to make our vision of a romantic, soft and elegant wedding were spot on. I had very high expectations and Laurie exceeded them! Even the staff remarked how gorgeous the ballroom was. They were blown away and have worked hundreds of weddings at The Pleasantdale Chateau! Laurie's attention to detail, her professionalism and her gift working with flowers made a huge impact on making my daughter's day a perfect wedding. I am so grateful and beyond thrilled to have been fortunate to have Laurelwood Designs as our Florist.

ach is so refreshing in a sea of wedding vendors. She is a consummate professional and INCREDIBLY talented. The scene she created far exceeded our expectations. The flowers lasted FOREVER - we walked into our house after a 2.5 week honeymoon to find some still in bloom!

Laurie is a true artist and I cannot recommend Laurelwood highly enough for any bride looking for beautiful and UNIQUE floral design. THANK YOU LAURIE AND LAURELWOOD!!!

understanding of what we wanted. She started putting things together right at our intro appointment, and quickly created EXACTLY what my daughter wanted. The day before the affair, we had dropped off some decor we wanted placed around the reception. When we saw how she displayed everything on the wedding day, it brought tears to our eyes. So many details had Laurie's creative touch on them. It truly made the event magical, and all the photos- breathtaking! Her vision, professionalism and creative talent made Laurie a pleasure to work with and Laurelwood a top choice in our selections!

or. She provided excellent advice and suggestions and was very flexible. Even though I booked her a year in advance, she stayed in contact with me throughout the year and checked in to see if I wanted to make any changes. She provided a sample of my bouquet and table centerpieces and was so easy to work with. On the day of the wedding she spent a lot of time making sure the room was decorated according to plan. I had to switch my ceremony to inside on the day of because of the weather and she made the inside room look so gorgeous that I didn't mind at all not being outside. She is so knowledgeable about flowers and what looks good, in addition to so many venues in New Jersey / New York. I highly suggest using her for any important event in your life!

lly since I sent a picture of exactly as it had looked in a previous wedding, and she called to confirm the specific details that were not even done on my wedding day, yet I paid a lot extra for. Overall, she does nice work but I did not get exactly what I wanted.

t and experience overall. Laurie is not only an exceptional floral designer but she is an exceptional person. She is incredibly personable, caring, kind, and will strive for perfection in each and every arrangement to assure that you are happy. Having a hard time visualizing different ideas, Laurie was able to pull up a database with hundreds if not thousands of pictures to help me better visualize my ideas and hers. This was incredibly helpful for me and got me so excited for our wedding day flowers! I had high expectations and Laurie and her team greatly exceeded them! All of our flowers - the bouquets, flower girl flowers, boutonnieres, ceremony space flowers, and reception flowers - and candle accents - were honestly breathtaking. So many people have asked me who we used for our florist because they couldn't get over how beautiful all of the flowers were designed and executed. Working with Laurie was an absolute pleasure and I would never go anywhere else for floral arrangements again. She puts passion into her work, treats you like family, and delivers perfection - you can't ask for any more than that! My wedding wouldn't have been as beautiful as it was without her expertise! I am so incredibly pleased and beyond happy with the outcome! Laurelwood is the best around!! :)

out! Everything was so romantic and prefect thanks to her! Highly recommended!

s very down to earth, honest and funny! She takes your ideas to heart and works within your budget without ever being pushy. I did not know quite how our ideas would pan out until my sample appointment which was at the venue, at her suggestion. This brought the whole thing to life and my mother and I were overjoyed with the beauty and lusciousness of the entire design. The day of one's wedding can be stressful but I never felt anxious knowing that Laurie and her team were going to be there doing what they do best. The chuppah took my breath away as did everything else. I will continually recommend Laurie as a florist for all events and hope I can work with her again in the future!

. I had an idea for a new kind of centerpiece I wanted to use, and Laurie researched my idea, ordered different samples, and made it work! All of the centerpieces were amazing, and the guests told us that the room was magical. THANK YOU SO MUCH LAURIE! I cannot say enough how happy we are and how much of a pleasure it is to work with her. USE HER!
