Absolutely stunning florals and a joy to work with. We hired Leaf + Petal as our wedding florist for our New Year’s Eve wedding in New Orleans. The ceremony was at Immaculate Conception Jesuit Church and the reception was at the Windsor Court. I (bride) did not really have a “vision” for the florals and gave Margaret very little direction beyond a vague color palette and very few particular likes and dislikes. I trusted her as the expert, and it was the best decision I could have made. She created the most exquisite bouquets, nosegays, centerpieces, and cake table floral skirt. Everything was exactly what I imagined but didn’t really describe or tell Margaret. Beautiful and elegant and inviting, but not overpowering. And when Olivia delivered the bouquets to the bridal prep suite, they were so stunning I immediately started crying. And, I’m not sure how they do it, but they find quite possibly the most gorgeous blooms and present them so beautifully.
In the planning process, they worked through multiple proposals with us to make sure we were comfortable and happy with everything. We also had a small mixup with a few rental items from another vendor in the post-wedding cleanup chaos, but Margaret was very laidback and easy to work with and helped resolve the issue immediately. Overall, I could not recommend Leaf + Petal more!
Leaf + Petal did an incredible job at my December 2022 wedding! The flowers exceeded my expectations! They were very organized, responsive, and easy to work with. Highly recommend Leaf + Petal for your wedding day!
Flowers were just how I imagined them! They did so well as decorating the venue. The guests cannot stop talking about just how beautiful the wedding was and I credit that a lot to how wonderful Leaf + Petal did the flowers.
Admittedly, flowers were not my or my wife's biggest concern nor a big budget item for our wedding. That said, Margaret and her team created an INCREDIBLY STUNNING bouquet and boutonniere for the two of us. Leaf + Petal was super receptive to our input when selecting flowers - taking our wedding colors and types of flowers (less tranditional aka no roses, more greenery and dried florals) into consideration but also using their expertise in knowing what would be best together. The entire team was always super professional and responsive, especially admist the COVID-related date change that we had from a 2021 wedding to 2022. Ultimately, the flowers and service exceeded our expectations, especially given our budget!
Our wedding flowers from Leaf + Petal were so beautiful! They did all of our flowers on our wedding day, including my bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, table arrangements for the reception, cake toppers, and a tossing bouquet. They also provided votives and vases. Working with them was so easy. I corresponded with Olivia and Margaret leading up to the wedding. They listened to my vision and sent over a proposal, and then we tweaked things from there until it was perfect. On the day of the wedding, I was so happy with how everything looked. It was even better than I had envisioned! It was such a pleasure working with Leaf + Petal, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful flower arrangements for any event.
Margaret, Olivia, and the L+P team are a DREAM. Their florals were absolutely stunning on the day of our wedding, and everything was so perfectly coordinated and well done. They brought our rentals vision to life as well with candles, vases, and votives, and it was impeccable. Thank you thank you thank you to this team -- it made all the difference!! x
Margaret and Olivia were really great to work with and the best communicators out of any flower vendor I connected with. I was on a time crunch to find a vendor after my initial vendor fell through, and I feel so lucky that we landed with Margaret! She was incredibly punctual and professional, going back and forth with me to ensure that we made the most of our budget but also ensuring to execute the vision. She was always flexible/adaptable and even though I asked a million questions, she never hesitated to respond on time or follow up. I loved that she sent me a sample of what the flowers looked like the day before my wedding, it got me so excited to see them the day of! If you have the budget for it, you won't be disappointed in Leaf & Petal's delivery. I loved my flowers so much that I got my bouquet preserved so I never forget them!!
I've heard great things about this vendor which is why I hired them without doing much digging - however, I was fairly disappointed with the flowers the day of my wedding. I sent her photos of woodsy evergreens (I had a winter wedding) with draping willows cascading down... and honestly it kind of looked like she trimmed some palm trees and bushes from outside :( I sent her photos of what I wanted and she completely missed the mark. Maybe she was short-staffed or maybe she didn't have the type of greenery I was looking for, but because so many others had reviewed her highly, I didn't even question when she asked me to pay in full beforehand. I also asked her to decorate a staircase at the entry and she only decorated it like 2/3 of the way up? So it looked totally unfinished. I also paid $50 for a bridal comb that was like 3 inches wide.. It was so small. Hopefully if you decide to use her (she was very kind and professional), you do an in-person trial of what materials you want to use beforehand.
Ever since finding Margarets work on instagram I was instantly obsessed. She went above and beyond and made my venue look like a fairytale. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. When ever I show people pictures they gasp. She has the most impressive techniques and she is extremely fast and efficient. Communication during planning was amazing, she was one of the nicest people to work with! I wouldn’t change a thing.
Flowers were one of the most important details to me. I had followed Leaf+Petal for a while on Instagram and really admired Margaret's work so she was on the top of my list for wedding vendors. She was luckily available as she books up well in advance! While Leaf+Petal is on the higher price end, I had a certain vision and knew I could trust Margaret and her team to deliver exactly what I wanted because she's just so dang talented. She did not disappoint! The floral style and color was spot on with what I had envisioned. We received so many compliments on the floral columns from our ceremony as well as the floral "swag" on our welcome sign and both made for great backgrounds in photos at the reception for guests. On top of her floral work being absolutely beautiful and creative, Margaret and her assistant were always quick to answer any of my questions via email and were clear communicators. Highly recommend Leaf+Petal!
Leaf + Petal did an amazing job on our personals. My bouquet and bridesmaids' bouquets were stunning and exactly what I had hoped for, and the bouts and other personals were lovely. She also made me a simple, small flower crown that was delicate and perfect. I didn't want to take it off! Margaret was also incredibly helpful and understanding with all the date changes and other tweaks, and was great to work with. I highly recommend L+P!
Leaf + Petal was both amazing to work with but also delivered the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen. I have received so many compliments on their work. Margaret completely got my vision and new exactly what I was looking for- she did perfectly unfolding what I was looking for without truly knowing what it would look like. I am so impressed with the communication and hard work that was put into making our day absolutely beautiful. Thank you for everything Margaret, you are a true gem! Please don't hesitate to hire Leaf + Petal for all of your floral needs!
The most beautiful flowers I’ve ever seen! Margaret did a beautiful job, and I couldn’t have been happier with my bouquets and all of the flowers at our wedding. Truly gorgeous. I was looking forward to seeing our flowers for months, and they did not disappoint. I am even getting my bridal bouquet preserved I loved it so much! Highly recommend Leaf + Petal!
Margaret was amazing to work with. Her floral artwork went with the exact aesthetic we wanted for our rustic glam wedding. She went above and beyond to deliver florals and greenery for our wedding. I still remember showing her a picture of a cross with flowers as the vision for my wedding. She said, “Oh I can do that better”. And Margaret really did execute everything so perfectly! I was blown away with the wedding aesthetic and it was largely because of her. Leaf + Petal is the perfect floral company to execute your wedding or event, taking into account your personal preferences.
I just had a large New Orleans wedding this past weekend. As a Bride that LOVES flowers, I did a lot of research before choosing a florist. One of the selling points for Leaf and Petal was their awesome communication. With each one of my questions (and there were a lot) Margaret answered quickly and made me feel very comfortable. Upon first meeting her, I felt so comfortable with my decision. She gives so many options to brides and is very informative through the selection process. She creates masterpieces for a wide variety of styles and works great with other vendors. She exceeded all of my expectations!
Margaret is a great person to work with. From the beginning, she was replying to my email inquiries and making sure responses were being given in a timely manner. We did most of our decision making via email since this was a destination wedding for us. And when we finally got a chance to meet in person, I had to re-schedule my meeting time last minute, and she was so understanding and accommodating. She new the vision that I wanted, made her suggestions, made sure any other vendors that she had took work with were communicated exactly what we had discussed. And above anything else, all my flowers both for the wedding ceremony and reception were beautiful. I would highly recommend using this vendor, especially if your from out of town and need a florist who knows how to run their business and design at the same time.
I hired Leaf + Petal for my wedding and they were absolutely amazing!! I got so many compliments on the floral displays. I would recommend them to anyone!!
My daughter found Leaf+Petal for her wedding in New Orleans after reading reviews and pouring over photos. Margaret designs the most extraordinary bouquets and floral arrangements, and I was beyond thrilled with her work. She is professional, very friendly, and worked with our budget. Her arrangements are gorgeous! The bridal bouquet was made with peonies, ranunculus, roses, and other floral buds. She made a large floral arch for the ceremony as well as arrangements for the guests' chairs at The Cabildo, and it literally transformed the place into an outdoor garden. The table arrangements at Marché were stunning and styled similarly to the bouquets for a seamless look from ceremony to reception! Margaret at Leaf+Petal was a perfect choice for us!
The flowers for the wedding were beyond PERFECT! Margaret did such a great job. I had seen her work and fell in love with everything she had on Instagram, so I gave her few details and she hit the nail on the head! She even made the most precious little collar of greenery for our cocker spaniel (he was in the wedding). Cannot rave enough about how beautiful the bouquets and boutonnieres were
Margaret and the rest of the Leaf and Petal team were so wonderful to work with throughout the process of planning florals for our wedding. Margaret met with us on several different occasions to help us plan and she was so thoughtful and understanding of my vision. She sent me "sneak peak" pictures of my bouquet the day before the wedding and I was floored at how perfectly it matched what I had imagined in my mind. The reception florals were stunning and we have received so many compliments from wedding guests about the florals. Thank you so much Margaret!!!!!! We loved everything about working with Leaf and Petal.
Margaret was a joy to work with! Looking through her work on Instagram, I instantly knew I wanted her to do the florals for my wedding day. She understood my vision and made it come to life. She was so easy to work with, making last minute changes and even working with my mother in law for rehearsal dinner flowers that were used again at the wedding! She had wonderful suggestions that I never would have thought of, but made perfect sense for our venue and set up. I highly recommend Margaret at Leaf and Petal for your wedding or ANY event that you may need florals!
Margaret has a unique way of understanding a vision and can easily transform it into reality. She transformed The Chicory into exactly what I had in mind with a combination of flowers, vines, cafe lights, and a variety of decorative candles. She and her team were easy to work with, easily accommodated our changes, and made time to do a final walk-through the week of the wedding to ensure that we had exactly what we wanted, and again, accommodated our change requests.
Leaf + Petal did an amazing job and I highly recommend them.
I wish there were ten stars so I could double it!! Leaf and Petal was beyond amazing from the start! I had a Pinterest board and absolutely no idea where to start ... I basically know the names of three flowers total and they knew exactly how to guide me to what I didn’t even know I wanted! This was honestly the least stressful part of my wedding and I can’t recommend her enough!
Margaret’s work is amazing. I must admit that flowers were not one of my priorities while I was planning my wedding but my flowers ending up being one of my favorite things about my wedding. They were absolutely stunning. She did an amazing job taking my generic explanations of what I wanted (I have a severe lack of knowledge when it comes to all things floral) and turned it into something better than I ever could have imagined. She does amazing work and I highly suggest working with Leaf+Petal if you get the chance.
Margaret was the best! The flowers were exactly what I was hoping they'd be, which was amazing since I think I explained what I wanted in the vaguest terms possible. We got married the Saturday after Mardi Gras and even with the whole city shut down, she sent a shot of the bouquet on Ash Wednesday to make sure I didn't have any changes. Every bouquet and boutonniere was perfect, I cannot recommend her enough!
Margaret at Leaf + Petal is absolutely amazing!! I am so happy that I decided to book Leaf + Petal for our wedding venue. Margaret was very thorough with her questionnaire of our vision for wedding, and I am so grateful for that. She was able to execute everything that we had envisioned and more! She was even able to add touches of succulents to all arrangements to fill my succulent obsession without causing them to be out of place. We decided on a blush tone color pallet, and Margaret chose the prettiest flowers to complement our dream. I received so many compliments on how beautiful our flower arrangements were at our wedding. We even saved all of our flowers and greenery after the wedding, and they dried so nicely that we have them as decorations around our house. Margaret creates the most beautiful flower arrangements, and I highly suggest that you book Leaf + Petal for your wedding!
I cannot recommend Margaret highly enough. Of course the flowers were beautiful, but she was also just a dream to work with. We didn't have a huge floral budget but she never made us feel any less important than larger clients. And she was so patient with me as I went back and forth on a couple details!
Due to our own last-minute scheduling changes, we had a friend set up our flowers at the church, but when she ran into trouble, Margaret immediately sent someone over to help.
She clearly values both quality and customer service.
I can't say enough about Leaf + Petal, I wish I could give them 100 stars! I was probably the most unorganized bride in history but every single time I added a new item, they were so sweet and accommodating. And my bouquet!!! My GOODNESS, it completely captured my vision. I couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful. And can I just say, my wedding was 4 days ago and it STILL looks stunning! There is absolutely no one else I would recommend. THANK YOU!
Everything about L+P is wedding goals! Margaret is a dream to work with and if you've seen any of her photos, you know that everything she does is STUNNING! I remember telling her on the day of the wedding just to go with whatever she wanted to do because I knew I could trust her and literally the woman could never do anything that wouldn't look amazing. We had to make some modifications to the decor due to rain and tents, and Margaret stepped in and put greenery all throughout our tents to keep it looking cohesive and romantic. Super responsive and easy to get in touch with!
It was so great to work with Margaret and she really brought my floral visions to life! She helped transform our ceremony/reception space beautifully and even added greenery to our altar area (which was such a great surprise as I walked the down aisle). Everything was just how I had imagined it and my gorgeous bouquet is still going strong!
Oh Margaret and her gifts! Living 5 hours away from the city in which we were getting married required vendors that we could communicate with via email/social media. Margaret was responsive, understanding, and heard our ideas and ran with them! She did my bouquet for my bridal portraits and all of our flowers for our wedding day. Having to tweak and change things along the way, she was more than reasonable and worked with us the entire way. We couldn't have been more in love with how everything turned out!
Margaret and her team were AMAZING! Each time I emailed her she responded quickly and was always willing to speak on the phone. Each time I had a concern Margaret addressed it and came up with a solution that stayed us within our budget. Further, I really let Margaret take control of what the flowers would look like aside from the colors I wanted. My MOH thought I was crazy for not showing her exact pictures, but she brought us flowers that were beyond anything I could imagine. EVERYONE complimented them, even the photographer said they were her favorite flowers in a long time! 100% would recommend!!
My husband and I got married at the Audubon Clubhouse and it is no exaggeration when I say that the best decision I made during wedding planning was choosing Leaf + Petal as our florist. Margaret is exceedingly easy to communicate with (very fast email responses), passionate about her work, and turned our venue and outdoor ceremony into magic. She's also very accommodating and delivered my hair florals and bouquet/wedding party florals to my hotel the day of the ceremony. Clear communication can be difficult to find, but Margaret has it in spades and also works very well under pressure, as I've come to understand.
For our wedding ceremony outside beneath the oak trees at the venue, I had requested a floral arch. It was cast iron and had been carefully weighted with stones, but the weather was so awful, a very strong wind blew it over, effectively crushing the flowers affixed to it. My husband was outside and witnessed the whole thing. He said Margaret quickly sprang into action and within minutes, had flowers replaced and the arch staked into the ground so securely that it wouldn't budge even when she gave it a hefty shove to test it. Everything was arranged so beautifully, I didn't know about any of this until my husband told me the next day. The arch was flawless and if we hadn't decided to get married in the middle of a rainstorm, I'm sure there wouldn't have been any setbacks at all, but Margaret responded beautifully to the challenge and exceeded our expectations in her masterpieces outside and inside the venue.
My primary tip concerning Leaf + Petal is to book early to make sure you don't have to pick a different vendor (these guys are amazing) and order the candle package. The extra glow is phenomenal.
Amazing! The flowers were consistently beautiful. The first wedding was early summer with vibrant colors. The second an autumn wedding with more subtle colorsnm Margaret did BOTH weddings because her work is excellent and she is a delight to work with. i did hire her twice.....and absolutely would do it again for my third daughter.
Margaret is such a joy to work with! I found Leaf + Petal through the knot and started following her social media (warning: all of her arrangements/flower walls/decor are so gorgeous it will make you WANT to blow your flower budget) and I could not have been more impressed with her level of care and service. She stuck to my budget and helped me make decisions along the way that would keep costs down without sacrificing any details. We loved her so much my mother-in-law asked her to help with the rehearsal dinner too - which was a perfect teaser for the big day!
Margaret put together such beautiful arrangements for our natural-toned wedding. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, just something simple and classic. She got me talking to try to get to understand what I liked and what I was trying to achieve. Her team even spray-painted buckets copper to fill over-the-brim with baby's breath, a simple touch for our outdoor patio ceremony aisle. I didn't have much, but what she did made me wish we would've done more. Thank you Margaret for everything. It was all better than I could've imagined.
Flowers were just gorgeous. Margaret really helped us out when the bouquet for the bridal portraits froze in the hotel fridge! She is straightforward and everyone is on the same page. She is practical about what flowers are available. I guess the best thing I can say...is we hired her to the next daughter’s wedding
We got married in the French Quarter in NOLA 3 weeks ago, and hiring Leaf + Petal was one of the best decisions that we made in the entire wedding planning process. As other reviews have said, Margaret is a total artist and professional - she knew our venues (Hermann-Grima and Broussard's) well and covered every detail in our first meeting, showing me lots of references to make sure she clearly understood my vision (and budget!) and even suggested ways to make it even better (as I'm not a big "flower person"). In the days before our wedding, she sent me photos of my bouquet and patiently addressed my (multiple rounds) of feedback based on my vision, what was in season and what she knew would look good. When the bouquets arrived on the day of, they looked SPECTACULAR. My bridesmaids couldn't get over how breathtaking the flowers were and how much they looked like all of the "inspo" photos that I had showed them over the prior months. I also had Margaret create a flower comb for my hair, which I absolutely adored (and matched my groom's boutonniere so well). I think it was my favorite part of my whole outfit! Margaret also put together an absolutely breathtaking chuppah for our ceremony, incorporating my late grandfather's tallis and more gorgeous flowers and greens. She also did an amazing job working with our budget to repurpose ceremony flowers around the reception venue and use candles/greens/terrariums to make the space feel warm, romantic and just a bit ethereal. Just perfect - we couldn't have asked for anything better!!
It is no exaggeration to say the gorgeous florals arranged by Leaf + Petal NOLA made the wedding. Margaret is an artist and a professional, and she transformed our intimate garden wedding into an elegant, exclusive affair I hadn't imagined possible! She worked with me for months on my (changing...!) vision, exploring options within my budget and meeting my big requests wherever possible. When our bouquets were delivered (prompt and without hassle) I actually cried--she had somehow read my mind! Do not hesitate to book Leaf + Petal NOLA, it was absolutely the best decision we made!
We couldn't have been happier to work with Margaret! After just one meeting with her we felt totally confident that she understood our vision. She had great suggestions for efficiently using our budget and working with our other vendors. When I received photos of the bouquets the day before the wedding I was so happy that I cried. All of the florals were beautiful and beyond what I had imagined! Thank you Margaret and the Leaf + Petal team for all of your hard work!
I strongly feel that Leaf + Petal Nola's photographs speak for themselves! Margaret was amazing with assisting me in planning the bouquets for my destination wedding. They came out beautifully and I was truly honored to be able to work with her! Additionally, I was able to rent lanterns from their sister company House of Modern Vintage, which looked amazing during our evening outdoor ceremony and reception! I very highly recommend Leaf + Petal NOLA to all future brides!!!!
I love my wedding bouquet! The colour and flower choices were spot on and I couldn't have pick them better myself. Margret was super easy to work with! She coordinated with all my vendors to have the ceremony site and the restaurant beautifully setup. The greens around the chandelier was so whimsical! All the flower arrangement were so beautiful, the design were out of magazine! I wish we could've take them home to New York with us!!
I could not stop staring at how beautiful the florals were for my wedding. Margaret is so gifted at what she does and so great to work with.
After she arranged my bouquet, she sent me a message with a picture of it and asked if there was anything I wanted to be changed on it, which I thought was just so thoughtful.
Again, so, so beautiful. Thank you so much!
Our flowers and decor were absolute perfection. They delivered exactly what I wanted and more!!! Their flowers were impeccable and really set the mood for the whole wedding. With little direction given they nailed the whole arrangement. I would HIGHLY recommend them for any event. And their flowers lasted for a really long time. Absolutely gorgeous and perfection
Margaret is fab-u-lous! My flowers were GORGEOUS, and she perfectly executed my vision! I was so happy to work with an energetic and creative person. If you want some amazing romance and not-your-grandmother's florals, go with L+P!
I was nervous about getting flowers organized because one vendor made me feel silly for not knowing every type of flower or exactly what I needed from a year out of the event, and like I was just a small pawn in a mess of all of their other jobs. BUT then I found Leaf + Petal and she was super responsive, met with me and patiently listened to some ideas and talked about what would work or not. She took a few conversations and my pinterest boards and really turned out beautiful, natural, full arrangements that I daydream about. It's wonderful to walk up to your wedding and see what her team has done! THANK YOU!!!!
Leaf + Petal went above and beyond my floral dreams. I wanted all white flowers with lots of greenery for my non traditional church venue, and they executed it beautifully! Margaret was fantastic to work with, and her team was so sweet the day of. Thank you so much for helping make that day so special!
I had such a particular look in mind when thinking about my bouquet, and it was like Margaret plucked it out of my head and put it right in my hands. I only got my bridal bouquet here (I did the rest of the flowers myself), and I was worried I would be overlooked a little since I wasn't a big customer - but those worries were totally unfounded. Margaret is incredibly sweet and delivered by bouquet to me on my wedding day right on time and more beautiful than I could have imagined. It matched our venue (Felicity Church) and my dress perfectly. So glad I went with Leaf + Petal! Thank you again!!
Book Leaf and Petal yesterday!! Margaret is the sweetest and she is so organized and helpful. I knew nothing about flowers, and they were actually kind of a “ok I know I need to get this done” thing, but she made me care about them, and I was so blown away by how beautiful her creations for my wedding were. She even accommodated a mother in law request a week before the wedding, adding 5 additional arrangements! I booked Margaret 18 months in advance, but not a single detail was looked over or forgotten. I am so, so happy I found her!
There are no words to describe how much joy my bridal bouquet brought me on the day of our wedding. It was the most gorgeous bouquet I have ever laid eyes on. Margaret did the most incredible job of infusing my personality into the bouquet right down to the choice of greenery and the magical touch of jasmine, rosemary and bay leaves. My husband even said that of the entire blur that was our wedding weekend the beauty of my bouquet stands out so vividly to him while we were saying our vows. On top of all that Margaret was a genuine pleasure to work with. I can not recommend Leaf and Petal strongly enough!!!
I can't say enough positive remarks about Margaret and her business. We are so glad we went with her unique, natural style of florals. She is so kind, down to earth, and fun to be around! She met with us and listened to our ideas, and then channeled those into her work. And, we had a really cool honeycomb structure that we used as a backdrop on our "altar" that she decorated for us, and it was PERFECTION!!! She has true vision and excellent taste. I'm so happy with how everything turned out!
I loved my flowers so much!!! They made my wedding so gorgeous. She did an excellent job, I highly recommend her to anyone.
Our wedding was at City Park in April and Margaret did an amazing job creating the most beautiful atmosphere with her floral designs and artistic eye. She did a wonderful job with our budget to design and decorate The Arbor Room and Popp Fountain. We are very impressed with her work and cannot thank her enough for the time, hard work, and help in the decision making process, she made it easy! We highly recommend you consider Leaf + Petal to help you design a perfect wedding.
I would recommend Leaf + Petal NOLA over and over again! Margaret created all of the flowers for our ceremony -- bouquet, boutonnieres, and corsages for our mothers. I met with her once to go over our vision for the flowers. She created absolutely perfect arrangements that incorporated all of the things I loved about the photos I had shown her while adding her own personal twist. The flowers felt unique and personalized! I received a TON of compliments on my bouquet -- and the beautiful pops of color that added to our color scheme.
The flowers were delivered directly to my hotel room on the day of the wedding with plenty of time before the ceremony started. Margaret sent me a picture of the bouquet the night before the wedding, so I knew exactly what I would receive on the day of the event. I really appreciated the outreach on the day before and the flowers were even more beautiful in person!
Margaret is really great to work with! She is quick to respond to emails and very adaptable. I actually added additional boutonnieres and corsages about a month before the wedding and Margaret was able to accommodate that need. When I told her that we'd be having a vintage wedding at the Federal Ballroom, she offered a variety of suggestions to help us plan out the rest of our non-floral decorations. She is a wealth of knowledge and very clearly passionate about what she does! On top of all that, I found the company to be reasonable priced. Margaret worked with us to make sure we stayed within our budget. We were incredibly happy with outcome. I would recommend Leaf + Petal to anyone!
Margaret was so wonderful to work with! Flowers were something I cared a lot about it for the wedding, but wasn't very knowledgable about. After meeting with Margaret, I just felt so comfortable that she *got* what I was going for. It was so wonderful, as a bride, to feel so confident in a vendor! My flowers were so incredibly beautiful and just what I had imagined. She & her staff even went way above and beyond to help fix a weather-related issue for our reception that definitely was not their responsibility. I'd recommend Margaret over and over!
Margaret is great and so easy to work with. I sent her a few pictures and she knew exactly what I was looking for. She creates very natural looking arrangements and bouquets, which I love! She was very responsive whenever I had questions.
Margaret is amazing! My flowers could not have turned out more beautiful, and she executed what I imagined for my flowers with perfection. She also was willing to work with my budget. I would seriously recommend her flowers for anyone looking for some beautiful florals!
Margaret is a gem! I was a bit nervous about flowers. I couldn’t really explain what I wanted but I didn’t want anything traditional. Margaret knew exactly what I meant. She was so easy to work with and she was very helpful in explaining all the options. She comes highly recommended and knows the New Orleans venues well. She could tell me what I needed and didn’t need for our venue. Our guests loved the natural and romantic look of our centerpieces and my bouquet was exactly how I imagined. She is so talented and I am happy I can continue seeing her beautiful work on Instagram!
Words cannot describe the beauty and genius of Leaf & Petal. Margaret met with us to help plan our destination wedding to New Orleans on 2/11/17 and brought so many ideas for my natural and architecturally designed wedding. I knew nothing about florals but had very specific dreams on the ambiance and look of the wedding. She was able to take my ideas and bring them to a reality, going above and beyond to research things I might like. She was organized, professional, detailed, and extremely kind. Our wedding was a “flip” where the ceremony room was flipped to the reception during our cocktail hour with seating for 150 people. She worked so hard and the room was transformed in one hour on the dot. The guests were blown away that the room had been transformed into this romantic, candlelit reception with greenery trailing down each table and beautiful florals throughout. I completely trusted her from the first time I met her because she is so knowledgeable and talented. Looking at her work, she is able to design for many different types of styles, but the common factor is that it always looks natural and beautiful. LOVE Leaf & Petal and consider having Margaret one of the best decisions of my entire planning process!
I can't say enough great things about Margaret and her work! The #1 most commented on item from my wedding was the flowers. They were absolutely stunning. Margaret went above and beyond to make my wedding amazing. I will be recommending to everyone! Thanks, again Margaret.
LOVED our experience with Leaf + Petal! Margaret is instinctually amazing with florals! I found her initially on The Knot and loved the natural look of her arrangements. We met and I just gave her colors...The flowers were STUNNING! Got so many compliments! Thank you, Margaret! Highly Recommend!
Leaf + Petal is 100% the way to go! As an out of town bride choosing vendors was difficult but I definitely made the right choice! Margaret's style is unique and beautiful and she works with you within your budget to come up with your vision! She was easily accessible throughout the whole process, even texting me pictures along the way. The flowers were more beautiful than I could have imagined and I can't stop looking at pictures! She is very talented and passionate at what she does and she was a joy to work with! I hope to have the chance to work with her again in the future!! Thanks again Margaret!!
Absolutely gorgeous. So easy to work with, prompt responses, and the most beautiful bouquets I have ever seen. We did just personal floral (bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and a ranunculus hair comb), and they turned out so beautifully. She worked with us within our budget, and helped us to put together a package that worked out so nicely. Would 100% work with her again!
I live in Boston, MA and got married in New Orleans, LA. The majority of my planning happened on The Knot. Luckily, I found Leaf + Petal NOLA, and it was one of the best decisions I made in terms of hiring. Margaret is a true artist! I was immediately attracted to her natural and unique style in her photos. Not to mention, I spoke with Margaret on the phone for a while before I hired her, and she was the sweetest person and made me feel so comfortable about the process. She is not pushy. She is calm, collected, and makes gentle suggestions if you have no idea what you are doing (I had no idea). She explained the many different options out there, and though I was initially lost in the process, she made me feel confident about what I was doing. Margaret is responsive and very organized. I would absolutely recommend Leaf + Petal NOLA, especially if you are not looking for the run of the mill decorative style. Margaret is a gem. The wedding was gorgeous! My bouquets were stunning. I loved everything! Thank you Margaret!
Margaret is AMAZING and I cannot recommend her enough. She is creative and full of ideas, even for a bride like me, who wasn't sure what I wanted. Her Instagram is full of beautiful flowers and believe me, she'll make your bouquet just as stunning! For our wedding, she made a flower crown for the rehearsal, 7 bridesmaid bouquets, a bride bouquet, and a boutonniere for my groom. After first contacting her and talking with her on the phone, I knew she was the florist for me. I gave her my price range and sent her a couple photos and she immediately understood the look/vibe I was going for. She was extremely communicative, prompt, and friendly. She even squeezed me into a busy weekend while I was visiting New Orleans (i was an out of town bride) just to touch base and meet face to face. The moral of the story is jump on hiring Margaret. She's very sought after and you won't regret it. She's wonderful and your flowers will be too!
What a fantastic job Margaret did for our wedding!!! She is seriously talented and her style is beautiful. I still look back on my photos and stare in awe at how gorgeous the floral aspects were. You will not regret working with Leaf + Petal!
Margaret did an incredible job!!! Not only did she make our venue look like a stunning, romantic garden, she was amazing from day one. She did such a great job about walking us through everything, working with the budget we needed to keep and being so great about working with us long distance.
You could tell that every flower she used was hand selected. What really blew me away were our bridal bouquets! They were filled with unbelievably GORGEOUS flowers and greenery.
Having Margaret as our florists was one of the best choices we made! We absolutely loved every part of working with her and would highly recommend her!
Margaret of Leaf + Petal NOLA went ABOVE and BEYOND for me. She really understood the look that I was going for, and she was incredibly supportive during the whole design process. Her Instagram account is one of my favorite things to follow, and it gave me a ton of inspiration of what I wanted her to design for my special day. She even sent me pictures of my bouquet a day before the wedding, which was so considerate and sweet. Her taste is flawless, and she is an incredibly hard worker. I received so many compliments on the floral arrangements and the feel they gave to our venue. Everything was beautiful and impeccably done. I highly recommend Leaf + Petal NOLA for any event that you need floral design and arrangement. Margaret is easy to work with, nonjudgmental, and will bring your ideas/dreams to life. Her work is classic yet trendy, and it will bring a level of sophistication and style to any event. My wedding looked Pinterest perfect, and it was all thanks to Margaret and her amazing work!
Margaret has gorgeous and natural vision. She made my wedding absolutely beautiful, and we still use her for arrangements! I can't say enough good things about her bouquet, ceremony chuppa, reception centerpieces, and overall design of the whole space. She is definitely the best florist in New Orleans and I would use her again any day! As a bride she was such a pleasure to work with being so organized, creative, and available to help!
I had a destination wedding in New Orleans and I wanted to have all local vendors. I never was able to meet Margaret in person until the day of the wedding. I let Margaret know the colors and wanted and gave her free reign over the flowers ( I wasn't picky). Once my bouquet was delivered, I was amazed at how beautiful it was! She also did mini arrangements down the aisle. Once I walked into my dinner reception room, I was in awe at the gorgeous garland Margaret had made for the long table. It looked magical and went perfectly with the room decor! I loved working with Leaf + Petal and wish she was in California as well!!!
Margaret from Leaf and Petal was wonderful to work with did a beautiful job with our wedding flowers and decor! My mother and I had slightly different visions of how the flowers should look and Margaret handled our difference of opinion beautifully and managed to make everyone happy. (Not always an easy task!) She was also great about helping us work within our budget to achieve all of the things we wanted. I highly recommend her for both her taste and professionalism.
Our flowers were all stunning! I absolutely loved how they looked. Margaret at Leaf + Petal listened to everything I asked for and got every detail right! I could not have imagined more beautiful flowers for my wedding day!
Margaret's work far exceeded our expectations. I gave her my inspiration, and she took it and ran with it!!! Our flowers were absolutely gorgeous! And she was super pleasant and affordable. Plus, when my cake showed up looking awful, Margaret used every spare flower she had to decorate it and rescued it!!!
I was directed to Margaret at Leaf + Petal when I told my planner I only wanted personal flowers for myself and my bridesmaids to have down the aisle. Since many vendors don't even bother with a request like that, it was a breath of fresh air to hear that Margaret did and at a great price with quality care. I also was not very committed to my flower choice, so I left the vision completely up to her and my planner and they knocked it out of the park! The actual flowers were HUGE, smelled amazing and were perfectly pieced together. I also ended up with a surprise bag full of large rose petals for "later" :) If you're looking for a vendor who will care as much about your floral dream for your wedding or event as you do, look no further than Margaret at Leaf + Petal!
Margaret was the absolute best and a pleasure to work with! Our flowers were gorgeous and you could genuinely feel how excited she was for our event. As an out of town bride she made the planning process as easy as could be. Her work is beautiful and I feel lucky to have had her for our event.
I gave Margaret a really vague idea of what I wanted - "Frida Kahlo at Studio 54 in the tropics." Boy did she deliver! My bouquet was this amazing fecant, tropical forest! The venue was decorated beautifully and she even managed to integrate all the weird decor I gave her. She was also super responsive and great at suggesting ideas to make things pop. Can't recommend her enough, especially if you are going for a more modern, bohemian aesthetic.
Margaret is amazing, professional and so talented. She was so easy to work with and made all my floral ideas happen while staying within my budget. She even worked with my Mother-in-law the week of the wedding to help her with flowers for our rehearsal dinner. Highly recommend Leaf + Petal NOLA! Thank you so much for making our weekend beautiful!
Margaret was great to work with! She carried out my vision to perfection and we couldn't be happier with how the arrangements turned out. Would definitely recommend !
I had such a wonderful experience working with Leaf + Petal NOLA. Margaret is so easy to work with. I sent her a picture of a bouquet that I loved and she really brought it to life for me. Since I was coming in from out of town, I wasn't able to stop by and meet her in person, but that wasn't an obstacle. She sent me a picture of the bouquet the week of the wedding to see what I thought, and she had completely captured my vision. It photographed so beautifully in my wedding pictutes, I couldn't have been happier with it. I highly recommend her!
Margaret is amazing! I can't recommend her enough! I only had a bouquet and flower crown made for the wedding, but what she created was so perfect. Margaret is professional, creative and easy to work with. We weren't in the same city and she was responsive with emails, pictures, skype calls, and recommendations. Truly appreciated when you're trying to coordinate from afar. She's also affordable! We were thrilled with her final product! Thanks again, Margaret!
Planning a destination wedding is never easy, but Margaret included us in every step of the design process. When we initially met her, we were immediately sold on her knowledge of flowers and greenery that would suit our theme, budget, and vision for the wedding. Come the day of, Margaret set everything up perfectly and we received countless complements on her arrangements. I also had an odd request for a flower wall to get married in front of, and Margaret designed this better than I could have imagined. We hope to be throwing another party in New Orleans again soon so we can use her again! Thank you Margaret! You are exceptional!
Originally from Myrtle Beach, SC, my husband and I recently moved into the area by way of Oregon for work and loved New Orleans so much that we decided to have our wedding here. All the typical stress that comes from planning a wedding was with me everyday, not to mention our nearest family members were 13hrs away and we had no familiarity with the area, local vendors, etc. Margaret was so incredibly helpful and accommodating to my budget, timeline and vision. I went to several places with a photo I found years ago which was the inspiration for my entire wedding vision. I went to a few local floral places and they felt the need to point out how all the flowers in my photo were out of season and proceeded to talk me into a new floral concept entirely. Margaret was able to take what I wanted for my wedding and create something even more beautiful than i could ever imagine, affordable, season appropriate, and keep with the theme and vibe I was going for- and didn't insult me in the process as the other shops did. I wasn't just another customer. I bought roses from her in bulk to have my friends throw then in mini vases for me day of, and she OFFERED to stay and provide her services free of charge so family didn't have to work on flowers. I couldn't be more grateful or more impressed with her heart and the customer service she was willing to provide. DON'T MISS OUT ON SUCH A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! :)
I can't say enough about Margaret! Since I know nothing about flowers, I let Margaret be creative with bouquets and boutonnieres (I almost forgot about them, until my fiance mentioned it and Margaret was sweet enough to add them in). I sent over a couple of pictures and they turned out perfectly! Margaret is so nice, professional, creative, and efficient with her responses. I highly recommend her for any and all your florist needs!
Margaret was fantastic from start to finish! She is very helpful and creative! She does beautiful work! She is definitely willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. All of our flowers, bouquets, and centerpieces were absolutely gorgeous and perfect!! I couldn't have asked for anything better! She is very trustworthy and she knows a lot about what she does! I highly recommend using her florist! Thanks for making my rehearsal and wedding day beautiful!!
Leaf + Petal NOLA helped me out even though they had other weddings booked the day of mine, PLUS I contacted them only a month before my wedding after my previous florist cancelled on me. I cannot explain how relieved they made me feel, and how beautiful the flowers were! It was such a pleasant surprise to see when we got to our reception and saw how beautiful the flowers were. Definitely worth the 5 star rating!!!
From the very first e-mail conversation, Margaret from Leaf & Petal was professional, warm, friendly, and helpful. Even though I know next to nothing about flowers other than what colors I like, she gave me many suggestions and worked with me to come up with something that adhered to both my budget and my preferences. She is very prompt, very willing to converse back and forth about ideas and price, and a visionary when it comes to choosing and arranging flowers. I had such vibrant, unique bouquets for my wedding, and I received countless compliments from my bridesma
