We cannot say enough about the pleasure of working with Elisabeth and Melinda and the exceptional beauty of the floral pieces that they created. We knew Elisabeth understood our vision from the first time we met, but the actual creations were above and beyond anything we had imagined. The centerpieces, the bouquets, and the arch for the ceremony were among the most special and extraordinary aspects of our day. Thank you, thank you for adding such beauty to the most wonderful day of our lives.
Elizabeth was a DELIGHT to work with! Loved our meetings and felt good about what was planned for my daughter’s wedding but nothing could have prepared me for how beautiful they were. We chose to have a minimal amount of flowers to stay within budget, and it would have been wonderful. But Elizabeth gave us more than we’d planned - leftovers from another wedding, I think she said - and I was blown away. I’ve never seen such beautiful flowers. Huge value for the money!

Thank you so much for the sweet review, Lynnsie! It was so wonderful working with you, Nava and Yoni. Glad I could sneak in some extra flowers for you — my little bit of over ordering was your gain! No point letting them go to waste :)
I had an amazing experience working with Les Bouquets! I was provided with a 'vision board' and flowers they were thinking of using right from the start to ensure I was happy with the direction. I loved how they completely understood what I was wanting for the event and it was executed flawlessly. They went above and beyond for me on our wedding day and I am extremely happy with the result. I absolutely recommend working with Les Bouquets for the flowers of your dreams!

Thank you so much for the kind works, Rachael! We adored working with you and hope you and your family are doing well <3
Any questions?
We loved our wedding flowers and we especially loved my wedding bouquet!! the bouquet was gorgeous and captured my vision perfectly! Elisabeth is very thorough and professional and she did a wonderful job! We definitely recommend Les Bouquets!
The flowers were gorgeous! Everyone asked the name of the florist. Our daughter had a specific vision in mind and they nailed it! We could not have been happier.
I cannot recommend Melinda enough. Flowers were the main decoration at our wedding and Melinda was the perfect person for the job. Her arrangements were works of art and did not go unnoticed by our guests.
Melinda did an outstanding job with the flowers for our daughter's wedding - many guests commented on how beautiful they were! We continued to enjoy them at the brunch the following day as well as up to two weeks after the wedding!
With the bride living out of town, Melinda was still able to make her vision come true, with flexiblity to work through all the challenges with this as well as COVID. Melinda has a wonderful design sense and works with the bride to be sure that the flowers are exactly what she wants. She limits the number of clients she accepts any month to be sure that each bride gets her full focus. Because of this, she is also able to make adjustments throughout the process if changes are needed. Having Melinda provide the flowers was the best decision!
We really enjoyed working with Melinda. We gave her a few ideas of what we wanted, and she turned it into a work of art! I really don’t think we could have asked for a better florist for our big day. She was so very helpful in all aspects of design and set up!
Melinda is wonderful! Not only was she interested in getting to know the details of my wedding, she was interested in getting to know me, as a bride. I told her what I envisioned for my colors/flowers and provided pictures for inspiration. She made it come to life! Melinda is truly great at what she does but she’s also just a genuinely kind person. I loved chatting with her throughout the process and she always made me feel so reassured. Thank you Mel!!!
I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Melinda at Les Bouquets! Let’s just say, she knows her flowers! I learned so much from her and was able to be involved in the entire process from start to finish. She went above and beyond for me on our wedding day, and it meant the world to me. Not to mention, I got SO many compliments on my bridal bouquet!! Hands down the most gorgeous flowers I’ve ever seen!
Melinda with Les Bouquets is amazing! Our flowers were absolutely stunning and I received so many compliments from guests. From our first meeting, Melinda truly understood the look I wanted (I think she even understood it better than me). She had a vision and made it come to life! I could not be happier with her work. Thank you Melinda!!
Melinda was incredible to work with. She has great attention to detail and is so knowledgeable about flowers. When you sit down with her, you can tell she truly listens to what you envision for your day and then brings it to life. I still can't get over how beautiful my flowers were and I am constantly getting compliments about them! Melinda truly has a gift for what she does and I highly recommend her to anyone!
Melinda was so wonderful to work with. Flowers were one of the more overwhelming areas for me to think about as I knew basically nothing (and still don't). I met with Melinda and gave her the few, basic opinions and I had on everything and she took it to a level I never would've dreamed of! The flowers were gorgeous and so season-appropriate for our end-of-December wedding, which was a worry of mine. I have already had a few bride-to-be's that attended our wedding reach out to me for Melinda's information. You will not be disappointed, I highly recommend meeting with her!!!
Melinda and her team did a great job with our flowers. My mom and I met with her 2 times and communicated through email MANY times prior to the event and she was almost prompt and thorough in her responses. I decided about a month before my wedding to completely change the color scheme of my flowers and this was no problem at all! On my wedding day, I noticed there were some candlesticks/other decorations that were gold and I thought silver would look better to which they quickly had someone bring over silver replacements. Loved my big bridal bouquet as well! Wish I hadn't lost it that night and could have found it to keep :) I love how the flowers ended up looking in pictures and coudln't be happier with my choice!
Working with Melinda was a dream! She was SO sweet and really understood what I wanted even though I couldn't explain it very well. I ended up with the most beautiful green and white bouquet--more perfect than I even could have described!
Les Bouquets was the florist for my daughter's wedding 10/28/17 and her work was amazing! I am pretty detail oriented, and Melinda dotted every i and crossed every t! She worked with me to stay within our budget. Melinda understood the Bride's vision of her big day, and the flowers were perfect! The flowers were very fresh and more than two weeks later there are still a few beautiful blooms in my kitchen! Melinda had all flowers in place on time, and the Chuppah was covered in a beautiful soft fabric with sweet bouquets at the corners. The girl's bouquets were stunning, and she included a toss bouquet at no charge! We kept them in water and they looked lovely even a few days later! The guys boutonnieres were classic and looked great even the next morning! I was so pleased with Melinda's style, her professionalism, and the quality of her flowers, vases, candlesticks, etc! I would recommend Les Bouquets for a wedding, or any other floral occasion!
Melinda and her team at Les Bouquets did an amazing job! They listened to everything I wanted but designed gorgeous arrangements that were beyond my expectations! The flowers received compliments from all the guests and they could not have done better. Thank you Melinda and gang!
Melinda did the flowers for my wedding on 9-9-17, and the morning of the wedding I was so excited to see what the bouquets looked like . When they arrived, I turned the corner and was completely blown away by how she was able to create exactly what I had envisioned! The colors were perfect, the bouquets flowed so beautifully, and I wouldn't have changed anything at all.
Working with Melinda was an absolute joy. She was always available to answer questions and was receptive to my input. All of my guests complimented the flowers and absolutely loved them! I am very happy that I chose to have Les Bouquets create the flower arrangements for my wedding. Thank you Melinda!
Melinda was the best! She made it so easy to work with. She would throw out so many different flowers to go with my theme. I told her I trusted her to add or get rid of anything she didn't think would look good for my bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets. Day of our wedding, she was there early setting up. The flowers were so colorful, full and smelt so fresh. I had a lot of compliments on all of the flowers and decor we used. I highly recommend anyone looking for a wonderful, easy going, hard working florist to check out Melinda!
Melinda was awesome! I highly recommend! She was great to work with and quickly answered phone calls, texts, and emails. And plus the flower arrangements were beautiful!
Melinda was fantastic throughout the whole process! She made sure I was able to get everything I wanted and was there to help deliver items herself. The flowers were gorgeous and received many compliments!
Melinda is an artist. I couldn't have been a happier bride on our big day! She was so easy to work with. She was the most knowledgable creative artist I have ever worked with. I have literally no knowledge with flowers and arrangements, she walked me through every step of the way. Her studio is beautiful. She was able to sit with me and put together displays right in front of me as we brainstormed. I was able to see what things would look like before the day itself, and that's what I needed. She was able to even work witha couple requests I had, but didn't know how to incorporate. She responded in a timely manner with any question or concern. I just love her creativity and genius.
OUR FLOWERS WERE INCREDIBLE! Being an out of town bride was difficult for many reasons, but Melinda found a way to deliver on all of her promises. Her expertise and professionalism made Les Bouquets a dream to work with. We received many compliments on our center pieces and they definitely looked as though much time and energy was put into creating each one. Highly recommend!
I can't say enough good things about Les Bouquets! Melinda is great to work with, she truly wants to make sure your day is perfect. I could not have been more pleased with how the flowers and center pieces turned out, they were absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend Les Bouquets. Melinda is passionate about what she does and it shows through in her work.
Melinda and the Les Bouquets Team were amazing! I remember spending hours every night on Pinterest trying to find the perfect picture that represented the floral arrangement I wanted. Melinda's arrangements came out better than I could have ever imagined. I remember walking into my bridal suite on the day of the wedding and seeing my bouquet for the first time and being in tears because they were so unbelievably gorgeous. It's extremely rare to have someone over exceed your expectations, but Melinda is a rare gem. To this day, I have friends complimenting me on the flowers at my wedding. I can't stress enough how wonderful Melinda is to work with. She is professional, talented and easy to work with. She sees the complete vision of your wedding day, ceremony and the overall ambiance to the tiniest details. She will do wonders with the budget given and will help you get the biggest wow factor for the buck. She has the sweetest personality and I was so lucky to have her help with a major part of the wedding in the absence of my mom. It really felt like I had a mother figure guiding me.
Melinda is soooooo talented! The flowers at my wedding were so gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. Melinda truly brought our vision to life and made it even more spectacular than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Les Bouquets to anyone looking for a florist for any occasion!
After seeing their work on previous weddings, I was really excited to have them do my wedding. The flowers turned out gorgeous and I was very impressed. I think my only critique is that during the planning stage, there was a bit of confusion over ribbon colors, using my own accessories, and communication in general. However, I am overly pleased with the outcome and would like to thank them for the amazing job that they did.
I absolutely loved working with this vendor who was helpful and honest from day 1. She and her husband took good care of me and made sure that all of my questions were answered. On top of that I absolutely loved the bouquets she put together for myself and my bridesmaids and the boutonnieres she put together for the guys! I would pick this vendor all over again if I could!
Melinda and her team at Les Bouquets were a delight to work with. Melinda created gorgeous arrangements that perfectly fit the setting within my admittedly modest budget. She's a true artist - sketching my thoughts in our consultation and delivering gorgeous final pieces. She provided me with alternates to fit my budget, created pieces that could have multiple uses, advised me on the vases I should look for, and worked hard to make everything simply breathtaking! We loved it and our guests did too.
All I knew about how I wanted my flowers to look was the colors and that I wanted the arrangements to look polished but also slightly organic. Using these extremely broad notes Melinda made all my flower dreams come true! So many people came up to me at the wedding and in the weeks after to tell me that my flowers were the most beautiful they had ever seen. Beyond her amazing taste, Melinda is wonderful to work with; I didn't have to worry about one thing! Looking back at my photos it was the flowers that made my vision for my wedding complete and I have Melinda to thank for that. Booking Les Bouquets is the best decision I made in planning my wedding and I cannot recommend Melinda and Les Bouquets enough!
Melinda is amazing to work with! I've worked with her in the wedding industry for several years, so when it came to my own wedding - I already knew that I wanted her to do my florals! I knew I could trust Melinda to do a beautiful job. I got so many compliments on my florals from our wedding guests. I highly recommend Melinda and Les Bouquets!
Melinda was fantastic. She knew our vision for the wedding and was very accommodating throughout the process. If I needed to update something it was very simple. The flowers turned out beautiful, I love flowers, but do not have much knowledge on the subject. Melinda was able to understand the look I wanted and help find the flowers that were best suited and most cost effective for the look I wanted. Les Bouquet was also resourceful in using our ceremony flowers at our reception. We couldn't have been more pleased with how our flowers turned out. I would use Les bouquet again! Thanks for making our day look beautiful.
Melinda and Les Bouquets are such a dream to work with. They can work with any bride and any budget and bring such a unique creativity to arrangements and décor. I can't imagine working with another florist. Melinda is so knowledgeable and professional. My wedding day was magical because of her artistic touch.
Melinda and the entire team at Les Bouquets were a pleasure to work with for our ceremony and reception flowers, and the result of their work was, simply put, stunning. I'm not exaggerating when I say our bouquets, boutonnieres, and other floral arrangements were the most beautiful I've ever seen. I want those flowers in my life every day!
I was impressed by Les Bouquets on several levels. First, their professionalism was top-notch. Second, Melinda created my dream floral decor from just a few photo examples and my description of what my style is. And third, the team's ability to set up both the ceremony and reception spaces, as well as pin the groom and all the groomsmen, in such a short amount of time.
Les Bouquets put so much attention to detail in our wedding flowers and were responsive and timely throughout the entire day. I will definitely work with them again for another event at some point!
Melinda helps you customize exactly what you are envisioning for your big day! Our custom archway was breathtaking as well as all of the centerpieces! Thank you for helping make our day beautiful.
The flowers for our wedding were FANTASTIC! I wasn't sure what I wanted when I met with Melinda but I told her I wanted colorful and she went to work with her buckets of flowers. She showed me different combinations of flowers and how each color looked different when combined with other colors. She asked me what kind of flowers I liked and didn't like. By the end of the meeting, I was confident she was going to create gorgeous flowers for our wedding.
I was not disappointed on the day of the wedding. Everything was beautiful and we received many compliments on the flowers.
Melinda was easy to work with and had many great ideas. I highly recommend her services.
Melinda at Les Bouquets is amazing! We met with a few florists before deciding to go with Les Bouquets and our choice was so easy. I am no flower expert. I only knew the style and colors I wanted, and Melinda's wonderful personality, creativity, and excitement for her work is what made her the clear choice for us. Our style was contemporary, but not trendy, and she nailed it. I wish I could add photos to my review because her designs were stunning. She was realistic and honest, and worked within our budget. She was flexible with any changes I wanted to make and she made sure the final plan was exactly what I wanted. Going into the big day, I had complete faith in Melinda that the flowers would be perfect. She was early to make the flower deliveries, and she made that aspect of the wedding day completely stress-free. Please use Melinda for your wedding florist! You will be so glad you did!!
I could not be happier with my decision to go with Les Bouquets for my wedding flowers! Melinda was wonderful to work with- very easy to talk to, extremely knowledgeable about flowers and floral design, and very thorough in her communication. My mom and I visited Melinda's shop several months before my wedding to begin discussing our flowers. I don't know much about flowers, but I did have some images of arrangements that I liked. Melinda was able to capture the essence of the styles that I liked in the pictures while still making the bouquets look unique for our wedding day. In addition to the standard bouquets and boutonnieres, we also had a chuppa at our wedding, which Melinda was able to design a floral arrangement which completely exceeded our expectations. While Melinda's floral design is exceptional, what I liked most about her is how personable she was throughout the entire process. I should also note that I recommended Melinda to my mother-in-law for our rehearsal dinner flowers, and Melinda completely delivered. The whole weekend was beautiful, and Les Bouquets was a huge part of that!
My husband and I knew nothing about flowers and wedding planning, but we knew our colors were coral and mint. Melinda took those two colors and created the most beautiful bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, and centerpieces than we could have ever imagined. She was honest, communicative, creative, and a joy to work with. Our wedding would not have been the same without her designs.
Melinda and the Les Bouquets team are a dream and a delight to work with! They took my vision for our wedding and made it a reality. And the best part was that they worked with my budget! On my wedding day I was thrilled when I saw the final product. They did an absolutely great job with the bouquets, centerpieces, boutineers, everything! Thank you for working with me and my lack of knowledge about your craft! I know nothing about flowers and you took the time to find exactly what I wanted and I am forever grateful! I couldn't have wished for anything better. Thanks again!
Melinda knocked it out of the park at Brad and my wedding this fall! I was so overjoyed, I actually started crying when I saw my bouquet.
And my reception hall flowers, WOW! My parents/in-laws/aunts are still talking about the flowers. I've had so many people tell me they were the most gorgeous centerpieces they have ever seen.
Melinda went above and beyond in so many ways! She decorated my dessert table with eucalyptus, and even draped garland and ribbon the back of our Mr & Mrs chairs making them look wayyyyy better.
Melinda was amazing to work with in every way! Best decision I made with regard to our wedding.
Les Bouquet made my wedding perfectly feminine and beautiful! Melinda was an absolute joy to work with, she patiently listened as I described my vision and was very responsive to all of my requests. The flowers were even BETTER than I imagined (and I had high expectations) and held up well throughout the day! Thanks Les Bouquets!!
We absolutely LOVED working with Melinda on the floral arrangements for our wedding this past August at the Ritz Carlton. In our first meeting, she was able to assemble a 'fake' bouquet with all different kinds of flowers and greenery so I could visualize how it would all come together and tell her what I liked/didn't like. This was really helpful for me since I'm a very visual person! She went above and beyond by meeting us at the venue a month before the big day with a sample table arrangement so we could see how it would all come together with the linens we picked out. The end product was absolutely stunning. You can see in all the pictures how talented she is, and I can attest that she meets and exceeds all expectations. I've already recommended her to multiple brides who have loved her too. We got bids from a lot of other florists and we are so glad we went with Les Bouquets, not only for the quality and professionalism but also the value for our money.
From our first meeting, I knew Les Bouquets was going to be amazing. Melinda listened to our ideas of what we wanted, and then we saw the magic happen. All her plans she put together were EXACTLY what we had envisioned. Melinda has an incredible talent. Her creativity and her ability to take our vision and bring it to life was absolutely perfect! She had great suggestions for what would look best in our specific venue. And my favorite arrangement...my bouquet! It was perfect. We couldn't have picked a better florist.
Our wedding day flowers from Les Bouquets were so beautiful! Melinda was very responsive and wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. I really didn't know what kind of flowers I wanted, but she quickly got a feel for our wedding style and was very creative with our reception decor. Our bouquets were nothing short of absolutely stunning. Melinda's creations are much more than your typical wedding flowers!
Melinda was great to work with! She was able to understand what I wanted for bouquets after looking at one idea on pinterest. She instantly put together a sample bouquet during our design meeting and I felt like she really understood my style. The bouquets had beautiful texture and color to really pop against the bridesmaids gowns. We had so many compliments on the flowers. They were perfect and look stunning in the photos!
I am so happy I chose Melinda at Les Bouquets as the florist for my wedding!! I was a very particular bride and I struggled to find a florist who understood my vision and was so willing to work with me. She was so willing to work with me and was so open to all my ideas of what I wanted for my flowers. She even offered great and cost-effective options so I could have the type of flowers I wanted in August in St. Louis instead of telling me to pick other flowers like another florist had done. She was very open to listening to me and put up with all my nit-picking and I got exactly what I wanted for my flowers. She even worked me with in adding a special ribbon wrapping to my bouquet to add a little bit of my personality to it. Melinda was overall absolutely fantastic!!!
Melinda with Les Bouquets is fantastic to say the least! I'm a local photographer, and I send all of my brides her way. She's incredibly talented, and designs all bouquets and centerpieces to fit each bride. Melinda created several floral designs for styled shoots I've photographed, and I've always been wildly impressed! When Brad and I got engaged last December, there was no question, we had to have Melinda as our floral designer. I cannot wait to see what she creates for our wedding!
My wife and I (well, my wife, anyway) had a very specific vision for the floral arrangements for our wedding, but absolutely no knowledge of flowers. Enter Melinda from Les Bouquets. From the basic picture we had in mind, she was able to create stunning arrangements that complemented the décor of our wedding venue perfectly. While our initial meeting with Melinda was a little overwhelming with so much talk about flowers - something my wife and I knew nothing about - it was absolutely worth it in the end. Melinda was able to take little direction and make our dream wedding become a reality thanks to her expertise. Thanks so much, Les Bouquets!
Very unorganized business. I am planning for my wedding and decided not to go with them. About one and a half week ago, I called Les Bouquet with some questions for my wedding. The staff member informed me that she would have the owner, MeLinda call me back that day so I left my contact info. The day went by and into the next day, no one called. I called the shop back and got a hold of the owner with her explaining to me how busy they were and she meant to call me back. I made my appt with MeLinda for a consultation about a week away. She had asked for my email address so that she could send me some information. Which I never did receive anything by email. The day of appt came,I called the shop three different times that morning to confirm my appt because we had errands to run that day but was willing to work around the appt with Les Bouquet. Each time I called no one picked up and phone continued to ring. My fiancé and I planned on showing up at our appt time anyway. Once we arrived to the shop, Melinda looked as if she was in the middle of another meeting. She asked us, “Oh, did we have a meeting?” I explained to her that we did and I attempted to call to confirm but no one responded. Mind you, we also drove 35mins to make the meeting, which could have been rescheduled if someone simply picked up the phone. Melinda told us that she was in the middle of a booked appt but if we hung around she would be able to get to us. My fiancé and I decided to leave. Just to clarify, we did not leave because we wanted her to pause her other appt and meet with us instead. We left because of how unorganized the business was ran and how little of importance we felt as potential customers to be forgotten about. This was only a glimpse of it would be like to work with Les Bouquet and I did not want the headache of that for my actual wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 06/18/2015
We were very sorry for your appointment falling through the cracks, Linda, and regret that we aren't able to prove to you that we are a great wedding florist with tons of happy brides. We schedule probably 400+ appointments a year with a 99.9% ...
track record of not forgetting to put them in the calendar. This is wedding season where we concentrate on the weddings of that week, but there is no excuse for this happening and we truly are sorry for the inconvenience this caused you. I wish you'd take us up on the gift certificate.
Les Bouquets is AMAZING! Melinda and her crew were so very helpful with all of the flowers and decorations. My wedding ceremony took place outside with the reception inside. It was absolutely gorgeous! Several of our guests said things like, "this was the most beautiful wedding we have ever been to." "This place is magical." "Your flowers and decorations are amazing!" I never could have planned a wedding with 150 guests in only two months without Les Bouquets! I HIGHLY recommend Les Bouquets.
Working with Melinda at Les Bouquets for our wedding was a wonderful choice. From our first meeting, she understood the vision we had for our flowers, and I knew that she was going to put together something amazing. When our venue changed a few months out from the wedding and we decided to make some changes to the floral arrangements, she had no problem making the necessary changes. I was in awe when I saw the personal flowers that day, and I got compliments from several guests about how beautiful everything looked. The whole process of working with Melinda was easy and stress-free from beginning to end. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
I was an out of town bride and Les Bouquets was a dream come true! They were so quick to respond to any questions I had via email and were extremely easy to talk to on the phone. We were lucky enough to go in for a first meeting and just from that meeting and my Pinterest page they were able to completely understand my vision and wants. They were also absolutely amazing working within a budget and so flexible and actually helpful in trimming little bits here and there to actually come in under budget!! I never felt awkward talking budget with them. They really want you to have your perfect day without spending a lot and will come up with lots of ideas and suggestions to help. I never had a single problem with not being on the same page, being over budget, or with fast communication. They also travelled all the way to Chaumette for the wedding, set everything up, and helped with all the corsages and bouts. When we finally saw everything the day of we were all BLOWN away!! Everything was so beautiful, smelled amazing and gigantic! My bouquet, the centerpieces, and bridesmaid bouquets were so much bigger than I expected. Absolutely a dream!! Hiring Les Bouquets was one of the best decisions we made!
Our initial plan was to do our own flowers; we were working on a budget and didn't want anything too extravagant. A friend hosted a bridal shower approx. 8 weeks before our wedding and used Les Bouquets for the flowers. The flowers were GORGEOUS! The friend who arranged the flowers was out of state and did everything over the phone and it turned out perfect. Right colors, size, style, everything. After seeing the flowers at the shower we decided to contact Les Bouquets and see if they were available for our date and could work with our budget. After speaking with Melinda and meeting at her shop, we knew it was the right choice. The cost was very reasonable and she understood our needs. We had been collecting glass vases for a few months-we wanted simple but not matchy matchy- and Melinda agreed to use our vases to help keep the cost within our budget. My bouquet, the boutonnieres, and reception flowers were exactly what we wanted- right colors, right sizes, right flower type. (we didn't have bridesmaids or groomsmen so the ceremony flowers were very minimal.) Melinda and her team nailed it. She doesn't just sell flowers, she is a florist. Cannot say enough good things about our experience with Les Bouquets.
I met with Melinda as a consult about florals for my wedding. She came recommended by some girls I had gone to high school with. We spent time going over what I wanted for the day of and she had a lot of ideas. She had such enthusiasm and was very friendly. In the end I went with a different florist (with less experience) because she had access to other non-floral decorations I could use for the reception site which seemed like a great deal at the time. I won't go into details about the other florist but in the end I wish I had gone with Melinda at Les Bouquets. Her enthusiasm for your big day and helpfulness are top notch and it became very apparent over time that the florist I had chosen really lacked that. Your wedding is such a special day if you feel you are getting sub par service over time don't hesitate to look for someone new even if you already have a contract (I wish I had)! I really feel from the service I got at Les Bouquets just from doing a consult they would have been much better to work with during the planning process. I am now recommending Les Bouquets to my bride to be friends because of the great impression Melinda made on me.
I absolutely loved the flowers that Les Bouquets did for my wedding. They were exactly what I wanted! I gave Melinda a little bit of freedom to come up with the exact design/colors for the arrangements with some guidance about the basic color scheme and feel I wanted, and I like what she came up with far better than anything I would have chosen! I got the more compliments on my flowers than anything else at my wedding. Melinda is so artistic and her talent really shows in the arrangements she made. I would DEFINITELY recommend Les Bouquets!
I am the groom's mother.....the flowers at the wedding were amazing! My corsage had such beautiful fragrance all night long. The grooms men said the same thing. There was a little hint of Rosemary that made it smell so good. The colors of each of the table arrangements were just breathtaking. Everyone was commenting how wonderful the flowers were. I'm sure the bride will be reviewing too and give more details, but I recall her saying Melinda was very easy to work with and knew how to make the arrangements unique for our Barn wedding at the winery. I have attended many weddings and have to say I believe these were the prettiest and most fragrant flowers I've ever seen!
On the day of my wedding the one thing that I was extremely excited to see were my flowers and when they handed me my bouquet I was extremely impressed and LOVED my flowers!!! Melinda is an absolute joy to work with and for someone like me that knows very little about flowers, I knew I could trust her to come up with something beautiful. Everything was absolutely stunning and I could not say that I expected more. I would highly recommend Les Bouquets for any event!
I recently had my wedding at Chandler Hill Vineyards. Melinda did an amazing job on everything. My bridal bouquet and the wedding party's flowers were amazing! I got compliments on my centerpieces all night and how beautiful everything was. Melinda was able to really add elegance to my wedding at a great value. Melinda truly knows what she is doing. If you are looking for the best wedding florist in St. Louis, at a reasonable price, Les Bouquets is truly your answer!
We called Melinda last minute after our florist backed out, and she was a lifesaver! She made beautiful bouquets and was super easy to work with. Highly reccommend!
Melinda was a delight to work with. We met several times to discuss flowers and ideas. My flowers were absolutely stunning. I received so many compliments. My bouquet was huge! and my maid of honors had a few flowers in hers that were in mine, to tie ours together, and my bridesmaids flowers turned out beautiful too. The colors looked amazing with the dresses they had on. I can not wait to upload and post pictures once I get my pictures back. We had a mis communication on the time that i needed the flowers, and after I called they got in the car, and met me at our first picture sight. Melinda let me borrow some glass vases to put at the reception hall early so we wouldnt have to worry about it the day off. I would highly recommend Les Bouquets.
Melinda was excellent to work with. I planned a wedding in St. Louis from Nevada. She met with me a few times via FaceTime and made arrangements to meet with me during my few visits to Missouri before the wedding. The flowers turned out perfect! She was very nice, honest in her suggestions, and professional to work with. I really enjoyed my experience with Les Bouquets.
Les Bouquets came recommended by my photographer, who had worked with her in the past and really liked her work. When I met with Melinda (the owner) for the first time, it was clear that she was an artist in her element, which was perfect for someone who knows nothing about flowers! By simply getting a feel for our colors and overall wedding vibe, she was able to pull together a recommendation within our budget, and was willing to negotiate certain things to keep us within budget. She also takes the time to build things out when you meet, so she can get an idea of what you like and what you don't like.
With absolutely no direction from me, she pulled together the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces that were absolutely perfect for our wedding. I couldn't tell her what I wanted in person, but when I saw them done, I knew they were exactly right. Our guests raved about them, and I couldn't wait to see pictures of everything once it was over. Five stars! Well worth the money.
Melinda is an artist. She definitely knows what she is doing and designed the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces. I had high expectations and was very impressed. The flowers lasted all night and days after. Highly recommend this florist.
I used Melinda for my florist for my wedding. She answered all my questions and was able to give me many ideas, examples, and show pictures of flowers to use. She did a great job going over details for the day so I wasn't stressed! All of the flowers the day of the wedding were so beautiful. I was very impressed with the quality of the flowers and the hard work she put into everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!
Melinda was great to work with. She had great ideas and my flowers were absolutely perfect. She gave me exactly what I wanted. The flowers were very fresh and lasted a long time.
Melinda had very good ideas for all of the bouquets and center pieces and even suggested different sorts of arrangements to save money. She also knows most local venues so can give advice about how to communicate with each one.
I had looked at quite a few florists in the St. Louis area before meeting Melinda from Les Bouquets. She was affordable, very personable, and really helped with making my ideas come to life. Les Bouquets did a fabulous job and I'm so glad I went with them!
I interviewed three florists during my wedding planning process and just had to choose Melinda. Her work is classic, traditional, and elegant - exactly what I was looking for. She listened to what I wanted and was able to use her expertise to design my flowers to complement the look and feel of my wedding day. I cried when I had to give up my bouquet for preservation!
Melinda at Les Bouquets is wonderful! She has the ability to grasp your concept even if it is not the current fad. All of her arrangements are exquisite, and she works within your budget.
Melinda from Les Bouquets was so great to work with. From the initial meeting, I knew she would make my wedding day perfect. As an indecisive bride, I went in to our meeting with a few pictures of things I liked and with so little information, she was able to tell me EXACTLY what I wanted. It was difficult to imagine what my flowers would look like because I ordered such a wide variety, but they were more perfect that I could have imagined. I can honestly say that the first time I cried on my wedding day was when I saw Melinda carry in my flowers. They were truly the most beautiful bouquets I have ever seen. Melinda was so wonderful and easy to work with, which made my wedding planning that much easier. In addition, she was reasonably priced and willing to work within my budget. I will continue to recommend Les Bouquets to every single bride I talk to.
Les Bouquets was recommended to me by a few of my girlfriends and I couldn't be happier that I chose to use them for my flowers. Melinda is amazing! From my first meeting I knew I would love everything that they were going to create for us. I had various ideas in my head from magazines and online and she helped make those visions a reality. She was very prompt in responding to emails and accommodating to meeting times. Everything was delivered on time and looked so beautiful!
Melinda was so wonderful to work with. She has an artistic eye and a love for flowers. Flowers were one of the more difficult things to plan for me, but she made it easy. I was able to make her a mood board and that helped with the overall vibe of the wedding. I met with 2 other florists and she was the most comfortable, prepared, and organized of the 3. I went in with little knowledge about flowers. I knew a few flowers I wanted and several that I didn't want, and she was able to create some beautiful arrangements.
Melinda at Les Bouquets is detail-oriented, highly creative, kindly patient, and extremely thorough throughout the entire planning process, and these qualities resulted in gorgeous flowers, better than I had imagined, and with tons of compliments to boot. Highly recommended!
Les Bouquets made the white tent wedding stunningly beautiful! The arrangements were perfectly elegant - not overdone but creative, natural and unique. They knew just how to place and replace arrangements to stretch utilization of every piece. We had a beautiful wooden pergola that they decorated beautifully. Melinda was so easy to work with which took the stress out of the decision making process. We gave them a small budget to work with but they were able to work within that budget and treated us as though we were their biggest customer! So many people commented that the flowers, arrangements and decorations were just about the most gorgeous that they had ever seen. I honesty do not think I could have found a more reasonable, creative and personable vender to work with. I am so thankful for the excellent work done by Les Bouquets!
We used Les Bouquets as our wedding florist on June 7, 2013. Melinda was wonderful to work with! Our flowers looked absolutely gorgeous on our big day! It was everything I had pictured and more! They truly take great pride in their work and are very professional! We would not hesitate to recommend Les Bouquets to anyone looking for a florist!
Melinda Roeleveld, owner of Les Bouquets, is an artist and her artistic creativity shows through her work. It was so nice being able to trust Melinda with the style and colors for our flowers. We wanted a casual, rustic look for the table flowers and everything turned out better than we imagined. Melinda and her crew are organized and professional. They arrived on time and everything was set up and delivered as promised. I highly recommend them!
Les Bouquets provided the most beautiful flowers for my daughter's wedding. Melinda listened to what we wanted and executed flawlessly, adding her special touch and artistry. The bouquets had perfectly accented colors and textures. The reception guest and head table arrangements really brought the room to another level. We received many compliments on the flowers throughout the day, which we feel were well worth the cost. I would highly recommend Les Bouquets to anyone looking for an extraordinary floral experience.
I cannot say enough about the professional, artistic, flexible, responsive, and beautiful service I received from Melinda and her team at Les Bouquets. When we met with her I knew she'd do a great job because she has such expansive knowledge and she was problem solving on the spot as we talked over the details. I told her my vision for the flowers, ceremony and table decorations and then asked her to use her creative freedom. She was able to seamlessly weave my ideas into her creative vision adding her professional and artistic touch. From her detailed plan descriptions I could tell it was going to be wonderful. I was getting so excited by the week of the wedding just to walk into the tasting room of the winery and see every detail we'd planned come to life. It was breathtaking! I was so pleased with how she flawlessly executed the vision we discussed. She has a very special flare! Votive candles, hanging amaranthus, overflowing planter boxes, manzanita branches, succulents, lanterns and vintage jars with massive garden roses. All the colors! The room was filled with warmth and it felt like it fit the venue and our style perfectly. The tables were just beautiful and the guests talked about the decorations and flowers more than any other detail of the wedding because they were just that impactful. All the attendants and wedding party flowers were perfect and my bouquet was something to behold! It was so romanticly arranged. Melinda is definitely a very talented and special florist.
Melinda was absolutely amazing! We were very up front with her about our budget and she took it and used it to the most! We also wanted different arrangements on each table to give variety and trusted her as an artist to do this without checking with us. She camp up with a wonderful landscape of flowers, greens, and used our containers and such a new way. We received so many compliments about her work. She was a pleasure to work with!
My wedding flowers were amazing. I didn't get any for decoration or centerpieces, just boutonnieres, bouquets for my bridesmaids and I, and pins for my mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother. When I went to the consultation we looked through pictures of bouquets she'd done in the past and I let her know what I did and didn't like, flower and style-wise. She also showed me some flowers to find out what I did and didn't like. I gave her a swatch of color from the bridesmaid dresses (purple), and told her I wanted whites and blues to go with it instead of pinks. Other that that I gave her free rein and she designed and put together beautiful bouquets. They were so amazing they took my breath away. Melissa was great. She responded promptly via email and was an excellent choice. Her prices were mid-range but I would say her flowers and arrangements are high end.
Absolutely gorgeous! Melinda was so great to work with. She listened & offered suggestions. The flowers were exactly as we had wished. She made our vision come to life!!
Melinda had a lot to contend with between a MOB wedding planner and my daughter, but she came through with flying colors. Her quote was detailed, she updated it every time we made a change and the flowers completely matched the contract
Besides that, though, the flowers were absolutely beautiful and created the mood my daughter wanted--romantic, elegant, lovely. I would highly recommend this florist.
I really enjoyed working with Les Bouquets, the owner Melinda is friendly, artistic, and the flowers turned out gorgeous. They were exactly what I wanted, and the flower proposal contract was detailed, organized and very easy to understand. I highly recommend them.
Melinda is a miracle worker. She made my wedding and reception so beautiful. It's was a million times better than I ever could've imagined!
Melinda has a true gift for capturing exactly what a bride wants. My mother-in-law had more of a classic taste - while I wanted something more eclectic. Melinda was able to blend the two together perfectly. We had three different centerpieces and I got endless compliments from family and friends as to how great everything looked. Melinda was able to blend everything together beautifully, and even remembered my request to have candlelit globes hanging from our tall centerpieces.
I will definitely use her again in the future. She was mindful of what I wanted as a bride and made sure to always keep me within my budget.
Les Bouquets went above and beyond to make our wedding day flowers and decor absolutely perfect. They exceeded my expectations in every way. Melinda was a pleasure to work with and really took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in terms of style. Would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding florist.
Melinda and all of her staff at Les Bouquets were amazing and we have them to thank for all of the beautiful flowers at our wedding. When I first met with Melinda I loved her right away. She is so sweet and asked me lots of questions to make sure she understood what I wanted. Her proposals were well laid out so I knew where my money was going and she was always willing to revise whenever I changed my mind. The flowers on the wedding day were exactly what I expected and then some. I am kind of particular and I like things the way that I like them....so I was worried about everything on the wedding day coming out the way I wanted it to look. I had nothing to worry about with Les Bouquets. They wrote down everything I said about what I wanted and took it to heart. I would absolutely recommend them!!!
I can't say enough positive things about Melinda of Les Bouquets. She was one of my favorites vendors of my July 2012 wedding. At the first meeting with her, Melinda closely listened to my ideas for the wedding and then helped me make my vision a reality. She is knowledgeable, creative, and incredibly talented. After our initial meeting, I promptly received a detailed and organized proposal. She was very accommodating throughout the rest of my wedding planning process as I made changes to the proposal. On my wedding day, the final product was simply stunning. The quality of the flowers and their arrangements was exceptional. Les Bouquets was professional throughout the whole process, and I never had to worry about them setting and cleaning up on the day of my wedding. I highly recommend Les Bouquets. You will not be disappointed.
I booked Les Bouquets as my florist for my June 8, 2012 wedding reception. Do not book her. I had very specific but very simple plans for my flowers. I had pictures of exactly what I wanted and made it very clear that I wanted only dark purple stock in the centerpieces and bouquets. On the day of the reception her husband showed up with centerpieces containing magenta colored flowers mixed with the dark purple. The bouquets which where supposed to be dark purple stock with white roses where lavendar whith a ton of flowers that looked like weeds. I the cake topper was lavendar as well. I was absolutely dissapointed and there was nothing I could do about it. I spent 2000 dollars on flowers that looked nothing like how I wanted. She never listened to me and never even referred to the pictures that I gave her. She did what she thought would look good and thats what I got and I was stuck with them.
Response from the Vendor on 10/03/2012
This review is totally unfair so I hope everyone will read these facts. These flowers were gorgeous and made according to the document/invoice this client signed off on. The descriptions stated clearly that the flowers were to be in shades of...
purple and lavender. The bridesmaids' bouquets were to be lavender flowers as stated. There was no mention of dark purple with white in the invoice and what's this about weeds? I posted the picture of the bridal bouquet on Facebook and it got more Likes than any other bouquet I've posted!! We were super generous with the amount of flowers we used, went out of our way to make it beautiful and I am astounded at this review. Our other clients chose us for our artistic and creative talents but unfortunately these things were not appreciated and for that we are greatly disappointed. If anything, we did not charge enough.
Upon meeting with Melinda for the first time, I knew she was "the one" for the job! She is professional, personable, and a genius in her field. I admittedly don't know much about flowers in regards to their names or needs, but during our first meeting, she listened to what I had in mind and immediately constructed the perfect bouquets out of a collection of various silk flowers that she has in her studio. For me, that was incredibly helpful because I'm not familiar with floral details, but I do know what I think looks nice--and she showed me exactly that! Over the engagement process, she was very accommodating with all my questions and her price range was very reasonable. And, on the day of the wedding, her flowers were nothing short of perfection. In the midst of chaos and nerves, it was a comfort to know that I didn't have to worry at all about flowers or decoration. She was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend Les Bouquets to any bride--or anyone at all who needs a floral arrangement!
