Leaf + Petal NOLA

n aisle). Everything was just how I had imagined it and my gorgeous bouquet is still going strong!

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!

r, 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!!

st 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.

work with. i did hire her twice.....and absolutely would do it again for my third daughter.

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!

e. 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.

guess the best thing I can say...is we hired her to the next daughter’s wedding

new 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!!

ible! 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!

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!

! 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!!!!

lly 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!!

ing I wanted to be changed on it, which I thought was just so thoughtful. Again, so, so beautiful. Thank you so much!

HIGHLY recommend them for any event. And their flowers lasted for a really long time. Absolutely gorgeous and perfection

ous 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!!!!

of. Thank you so much for helping make that day so special!

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!!

o 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!

t 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!!!

neled 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!

in. 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.

tely 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!

nderful, 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!

for some beautiful florals!

e 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!

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!

everyone! Thanks, again Margaret.

y compliments! Thank you, Margaret! Highly Recommend!

he 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!!

orked with us within our budget, and helped us to put together a package that worked out so nicely. Would 100% work with her again!

diately 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!

ing! 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!

eing 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!

d 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!

e 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!

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!!!

ully 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.

sed every spare flower she had to decorate it and rescued it!!!

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!

ful and I feel lucky to have had her for our event.

l 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.

ur rehearsal dinner. Highly recommend Leaf + Petal NOLA! Thank you so much for making our weekend beautiful!

e 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!

s 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!

ion 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!

h 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! :)

r 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!

utely 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!!

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!!!

o 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 bridesmaids and guests. I wanted bright, beautiful flowers with natural turquoise accents, and that's exactly what she gave me. I highly recommend Leaf & Petal to anyone seeking artistic, gorgeous flowers arranged by true professional!

aret from Leaf & Petal through TheKnot. I was pretty much in panic mode when I contacted her, and let me some from the start she took all that stress away! She never made me feel bad either for being so last minute, or made me feel like it was an impossible thing to accomplish. She took away all my worries. I told her the budget I would like to stay around, and what type of flowers I liked and she put me at ease. I met up with her a few days later to get a better idea of everything. And even though some of my favorite flowers were premium flowers- I didnt want big tall centerpieces so she was able to make it work amd stay around my budget. She was always easy to reach, anytime I would start to spaz out, or have a question, or wanted to add something she always got back to me right away -& would always assure me I wasnt the worst bride ever (lol) or that different from most. It was easy to communicate, and easy to make payments. When my wedding day came, thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy the day and have fun with all my ladies (& not be thinking about flowers). & when I got to the venue all our bouquets, flower girl crowns, boutonnieres, and petals for flower girl baskets was all awaiting us and everything looked so lovely. The handtied bouquets down the ailse and petals all over looked wonderful -it was just enough to make the ceremony feel special. And inside the reception looked exactly how I'd pictured but better!!! Everything was lovely and looked perfect. I am so happy that I found her, she really made my wedding that much more special!!! (Thanks Margaret )

wns for another event I had) If you have any event big or small, you need to call her!
