Verified reviews from real couples

My husband and I got married in Verona, Italy in September in a villa built in the late 1500s. The villa is stunning on its own, and it was important to me that the flowers complemented the space rather than distracted from its natural beauty. I shared only a few ideas with Ana and trusted her to take the lead. Like the true artist she is, she took my vision and created something more magical than I could have ever envisioned. The vibrancy, design, and overall composition of the florals felt intentional, refined, and perfectly suited to the historic setting. Every arrangement enhanced the villa’s character and brought the space to life without overpowering it. From the ceremony to the reception, the florals felt cohesive, romantic, and timeless. Ana has an incredible eye for balance, color, and texture, and her work elevated our entire wedding aesthetic. I could not have imagined a more perfect floral design, and I am endlessly grateful for her talent, professionalism, and creative trust. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for florals that are elegant, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable.

Ana at Lavanda & Eucalypto Designs was a joy to work with! I didn’t have strong feelings on the floral design, and Ana took my inspiration pics and color preferences and made it even better than I imagined! The proposal she put together was incredibly helpful as I put together other design elements. Ana also went above and beyond, including additional bud vases to the ones we had provided and was always very responsive throughout the process.

ls, and a gorgeous broken arch. My husband and I were originally going to organize our own florals but once we saw her on The Knot we were amazed. In just two months before the wedding we went on an initial call and she built out a proposal in less than a week that fit our wedding aesthetic perfectly. We were so grateful for her quick turnaround and calm, respectful, and supportive demeanor!

She was lovely to work with throughout the process, taking the time to understand our preferences and vision, and being open to tweaks in requirements as our ceremony evolved slightly over time.

Ana created incredibly beautiful flower arrangements, be it for the centerpieces or the personal flowers (bouquets, boutonnières, flower crown for the flower girl). She worked with...

our budget to bring our vision to reality. I’d say the communications in the lead up to the wedding weren’t always top notch, which freaked me out for a whole three days when I wouldn’t hear from her so close to the wedding, but she was working on another wedding, so that’s understandable. But I have no remarks whatsoever on the flowers. Give Ana a good brief and send her good pictures, and she’ll make it happen! I’d say the one last comment I have is the bit of inflexibility in expectations. Ana wanted access to our professional photos, which, granted, was in her contract, but I don’t think it should have been in the contract to begin with. Our photos are our own and no vendor should be entitled to them. I will say, though, seeing how much Ana came through for us with the flowers the day of the wedding made me forget about all of that. Remarks notwithstanding, Ana deserves nothing less than an 5, because the product itself is a top notch 5. But I hope you’ll read the whole review for awareness.

Many vendors is the wedding industry work really hard to bring a vision to life and our work is captured through photography, which helps us to continue to provide for us and our families. Thank you for your continued support.

and greenery and she made it happen. I was working with a tight budget of $1000 for florals and she helped me stretch that as much as she could. I only did my bouquets and boutonnieres with her but she made them exactly how I wanted them. I even repurposed the bridesmaids bouquets for reception table centerpieces and it turned out beautiful.

The flowers looked good in pictures and the arrangements were nice. I took off stars based on unresponsiveness (we miscommunicated on a service, and I ended up having to pay extra ...

$$$ for another company to provide props-- would have appreciated a quicker reply), overpriced (everything was smaller than I expected, but I understand this is subjective), and less engagement than any of my other vendors (we would have appreciated a reminder to bring a basket for the flower girl-- she ended up throwing flowers out of tupperware). Again, the designs were nice, I just would not recommend this vendor.

ements. To clarify the "miscommunication" that you mentioned. The requested quote submitted to and accepted by you did not mention a wine barrel rental as it is not a prop we offer at this time. In order to rectify this misunderstanding, we agreed that I would provide floral cake decoration at no additional charge. Typically reminders like a basket for the flower girl is handled by the Wedding/Event Planner. We will take your feedback and add that to our list of services we provide to parties without a Planner. Please feel free to email us at sales@lavandaeucalypto.com with any additional concerns or clarifications needed. Wishing you many happy years of martial bliss. ~Ana
