Lia from Loden was excellent and I recommend her without reservations! Her work is impeccable and stunning, and she is a lovely and reliable person to work with from beginning to end.
None of the better known florists in the area that we reache...d out to compared in creativity, thoughtfulness, and enthusiasm. It seemed like their businesses were so established already that they felt they didn’t have to put much effort into gaining new customers. For ex., one just responded with the cost estimate, but no ideas of their own, and no sign of excitement about my wedding. Lia was the opposite and went above and beyond. She called my planner to go over everything after she received our request, and brainstormed fun and creative ideas that fit right in with my vision.
I wanted only greenery at my wedding -- zero flowers, including the bouquet -- and I knew some florists wouldn't be into it. But Lia was genuinely excited about it, and it showed from the start. Our guests were blown away, and the aesthetic she created conveyed to them exactly what I wanted to convey. If she can do what she did for us using only greenery, imagine all she does with flowers.
My Chicago-based wedding planner, who has extensive experience working with some of the best florists there, was impressed with Lia and loved working with her.
Lia earned my trust early on, has a sophisticated taste, and her attention to detail is outstanding -- she thought through everything, even how thick the glass cylinders for the candles should be.
Her work is memorable and reflects her love for what she does. She respected my budget, was consistently great at communicating, and was completely reliable throughout the whole process. She truly understood what I wanted, sometimes even better than I did myself. I’m forever grateful to her for having turned an idea I’d been in love with for ages into a gorgeous, perfectly executed reality. Thank you so much Lia!!
