I cannot recommend Lovely Leaves enough! From the very beginning, she truly took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life in the most beautiful way. Every arrangement felt so thoughtful and perfectly aligned with what I had imagined - but honestly, the final result exceeded my expectations in every way.
What really stood out was her incredible knowledge of flowers. She guided us so well in choosing blooms that were in season and helped us get the best value by sourcing through the right vendors, all while staying within our budget. I felt completely confident trusting her expertise, and it made such a difference in the overall outcome.
Her communication throughout the entire process was excellent. She was responsive, organized, and made everything feel so easy and stress-free, which meant so much during wedding planning.
If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and genuinely cares about making your day special, she is the one. I’m so grateful for the incredible work she did - our flowers were absolutely unforgettable!
Lovely Leaves did a great job with the florals for our event. Everything looked clean, intentional, and well within the budget we set. Giselle was straightforward and easy to work with, which made the process simple from the start. We didn’t know much about specific flowers, just had a general idea of colors and what we wanted to spend. She gave us a few options and then executed it well.
The centerpieces for the tables looked great, and the floral setups around the photo backdrop and bar helped connect the whole space. During our walkthrough, my wife was concerned the bar area would feel empty. Giselle addressed that by adding greenery up into the rafters, which completely changed the feel of the space. It gave that area a more finished, rustic look and made a strong first impression for guests coming in.
Overall, her work made the space feel complete and memorable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for quality work without overcomplicating the process.

ABOUT LOVELY LEAVES:
Recently moved to Santa Fe, Lovely Leaves is open for bookings—and I could not be more excited to get back to doing what I love. We'll be delivering wedding flowers to Santa Fe, Taos, Albuquerque, and surrounding areas.
Boutique floral design that's current, intentional, and built around you. We work closely with each couple to weave the florals seamlessly into the full vision of their day—because the details matter, and your wedding deserves to be stunning from every angle. Big focal blooms, lush greenery, textured accents. That's our signature, and we stand behind it.
Texas weddings will always have my heart, and it's hard to say no to southeastern brides—Kentucky, Tennessee, the whole region. But Santa Fe is home now, and southwestern weddings are calling my name.
Investments begin at $1,500 and everything is custom quoted: I'll pull together a design plan that highlights how your floral inspiration fits with your venue and other decor. For reference, my southeastern brides typically invested $8,000 to $12,000 for florals—some more, some less, but that gives you a real sense of the range. A ceremony-only event and a full, tented production are two very different conversations, and I genuinely love having both.
My clients tend to become friends, and I don't limit questions or texts. Reach out anytime—I prefer a text over an email any day. 📱 Text or call: 254-317-8688 | 💌 weddings@lovelyleavesfloral.com

I've been designing flowers since 2011—first under my event planning company, then for over a decade as Lovely Leaves. Relocating a business is no small thing, and this isn't even our first move for my husband's career—but Santa Fe has me inspired in a whole new way, and Lovely Leaves is back, rebranded for the Southwest, and ready to go.
We live in Tesuque, just outside Santa Fe, where the mountain-desert terrain is unlike anything I've ever called home. You'll find me outside with my husband and son, hiking most evenings with our Great Pyrenees, Aspen and Marsha—I'm just as likely to be found at a great restaurant or planning the next trip. The landscape out here gets into your soul whether you're looking for it or not. My daughter is back on our Kentucky farm, and my family is in Texas, so you'll still catch me in the Bluegrass and the Lone Star State every few months.
My color world runs from chili pepper red and deep green to cobalt blue, rich mulberry, and butter yellow—I love color in all its forms, and that shows up in my work. If you want lush, intentional, and a little unexpected, we are going to get along just fine.
When I'm not knee-deep in florals, I run Santa Fe Socialite—a marketing firm built around design, community, and people who care about people. Two businesses, one heart. It all comes from the same place.
