Leslie was truly a dream to work with for my wedding! From the very beginning, she understood exactly what I wanted and somehow brought my vision to life even better than I imagine...

d — all while staying within my budget. That alone speaks volumes about her talent and professionalism. The flowers were unbelievably fresh and absolutely stunning. Every single bridesmaid bouquet was beautiful and thoughtfully designed, and my bridal bouquet was beyond perfect — it felt so personal and special. The centerpieces were gorgeous and completely transformed the space. What really blew me away was how quickly and seamlessly she transitioned the florals from the ceremony to the reception. The speed and efficiency were incredible, and everything looked flawless. I cannot recommend Leslie enough. If you’re looking for someone talented, reliable, budget-conscious, and genuinely amazing at what they do — she’s your person!

Leslie was great to work with for our wedding! We don’t know much about flowers, but she worked with our limited vision to make everything look beautiful. She was also able to help...

us save by reusing as much as we could between the ceremony and the reception, and she moved things between the two areas. She was also very responsive, professional, and friendly throughout! One thing to note is just to check how things add up on the proposal. Things were priced correctly, but didn’t all get added together for the total, so it ended up being more than we thought. Honest mistake though.

Leslie Ivey was the cream of the crop - look no further if you're looking for any floral needs! I got married this past May of 2025 and was looking for someone that could cater to ...

a Western Style wedding along with an Indian ceremony. Leslie worked so closely with me to find not only the right fit of flowers for both ceremonies and our reception, but really made such a great effort to work with me on prices, what worked for my budget, and just paid so much attention to detail. I was SO SO SO happy with my bridal bouquet, my bridesmaid bouquets, and my husband's pocket posie. She is the BEST - I highly highly recommend her - look no further!
