Petaloso

pieces! She has become my Designer/ Florist of choice in the Charleston area. I have and will continue to use and recommend her services as she hit the mark on exactly what I envisioned . Words cannot express how stunning her work was understanding my thoughts without duplicating an event and making it completely ours!

s and she always goes above and beyond. Lori is a true artist; as a talented creative would never do, she doesn't mimic inspiration photos but rather creates innovative, one-of-a-kind floral masterpieces. Lori's reputation speaks for itself and she is the ONLY floral artist I will enlist in. Not only is she a true talent but she is sweet, personable and SO fun to work with. 10/10 recommend!! Thank you for continuing to WOW myself and my guests for so many years.

s contract also states that any complaints must be sent within 24hours of the event. I cannot express in words how disappointed and hurt I am in the work Lori produced for our wedding . Lori and I met and worked through countless images to create a plan for our wedding. We spent 70k on flowers with Lori and the work she produced was nothing close to what we asked for. The floral installations and arrangements she produced were not cohesive or consistent. In many cases what we requested may have even cost significantly less then what Lori charged and produced. Lori did say she wouldn’t copy another persons design but use our photos as inspiration. It seemed like Lori took our inspiration photo and went the complete opposite direct. When we asked for a garland table runner of greenery that went to the floor with flowers sparsely sprinkled in she producers a dense floral runner with hardly any greenery that did not extend to floor. The next day on IG a florist who was not Lori, who I’d never met, never spoken with nor shared any images related to the design posted she was the lead florist on the most expensive installation of our wedding. On the Tuesday after our wedding we reached out to Lori to verify that she was informed of our complaints by our planners. I informed our planners of my disappointment that night and the next morning but they did not relay that message to Lori. When Lori replied to our email she informed us that any complaints from here on out were outside of her contract and that our planners had not relayed our message. What sucks is the floral arrangements Lori produced for our rehearsal dinner we’re perfect. When I walked into the space I felt relieved knowing she really did understand what I was asking for. Which is why I was so surprised when I walked into the venue on our wedding day and saw nothing like what I was expecting. I am more than happy to provide photos of what we sent as inspiration and what Lori produced.

Petaloso as our florist. Every aspect exceeded my expectations more than I can articulate. It was such a delight to work with Lori. She has a vast amount of experience and exudes confidence and professionalism while being completely relatable and down to earth. We gave her very little direction, but she definitely heard what was important to us and clearly understood our broad stroke vision. I honestly had no concrete idea of how it would be translated, but I instantly had complete trust in Lori to create something we'd love and never forget. Not only were we not disappointed, we were totally blown away by the end result. It was all most incredibly lovely and unequivocally magical. Her creativity and attention to detail is amazing and nothing she does is just like everything you've seen before other places. We had many compliments after the wedding about many aspects of it, but by far the most were about the flowers and overall floral decor. I was, and always will be, very proud to tell everyone that Petaloso gets all of the credit. Bravo, Lori!

nd. Lori and her team are extremely detail oriented and created the most incredible floral designs for my bridal luncheon, our rehearsal dinner + welcome party, and the wedding ceremony + reception. We went into our design meeting with not many specific requests or ideas on what we wanted and let Lori take the reins on creating our floral design for the wedding. I couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful than what she created for us - from the custom trees she created for the bar area and under the tent, to the insanely beautiful bouquet I had, to every single floral arrangement throughout the tent and the floral halo above the dance floor - everything was incredible! I knew as soon as we began the wedding planning process that I absolutely wanted Petaloso to create our florals for the wedding day, and it was one of the best decisions we made! I truly cannot recommend Lori and her team at Petaloso enough - amazing people and amazingly creative talents.

om. We also received so many compliments on the flowers from our family and friends including some people who worked as wedding florists for many years. The communication was also great and everyone we interacted with was super friendly.

as the BEST to work with. She listened to our ideas and let us know all of the possibilities - but her final product just really blew us away. Everything was so stunning - all of our guests commented that the flowers were so beautiful they couldn't believe they were real! Our flowers were our favorite part of our wedding and working with Lori made the planning part so exciting. You can tell she really puts her heart and soul into what she does. She truly has a gift - I would absolutely recommend Petaloso for all of your wedding floral needs!

h a few other last minute prep items / saved the day. They are INCREDIBLE!

ith and worked with me when I had to postpone my wedding due to COVID. My dream wedding would not have been possible without Lori or her team.

design requests thrown their way and sourced some unique and special flowers for my special day. What they did for our big day was nothing short of magnificent.

r space at the end of the night, it was so beautiful! If you have a wedding or event that requires beautiful flowers, Petaloso is a must!

eded all expectations!!! Each and every flower was absolute perfection. Thank you, thank you!

wish I could have taken every signal one of them home. Sadly, I had a destination weeding in Charleston, SC and couldn't take them with me! From the moment my wedding planners and I came up with the concept and the décor of the ceremony and reception, they knew I had to work with Lori and the entire Petaloso team. Lori came up with flowers and finalized the design for all the floral décor along side my wedding planners and the final results were completely stunning. I was blown away that this was my wedding and every guest in attendance couldn't get over how beautiful the flowers were. Every guest that I have run into after my wedding have continued to talk me about how gorgeous our flowers were! I truly can't say enough good things about the entire experience of working with Petaloso. All I can say is trust Lori and the team like I did and they will completely blow you away with the final results. I can't recommend Petaloso enough and hope every bride uses them!

at our wedding was dying over the flowers. I just could not get over how far above and beyond they went to make the day beautiful, I am still speechless over it. Seriously I might be biased but they were the most beautiful florals that I have ever seen. Even my husband who was like "why spend money on flowers" said it was sooo worth it after our wedding and THAT is saying something. Just beyond perfect, I really do not even have enough words to say on how happy we were! So sweet and incredibly talented.

uld look like, more of just the color scheme but I was SO pleased with how the flowers turned out. Everything was stunning and we even carried flowers back to our hotel with us! I would have liked to been informed that one of the vases we weren't allowed to keep, but thankfully we found a vase and were able to take home those flowers! We did end up keeping all of our flowers and absolutely cherished them. THANK YOU!

ughout our entire wedding! Not only was I truly blown away by Lori's work on our wedding day, but I was just in awe of how graceful and kind she was throughout the planning process (even when our original design had to be altered due to changes that had to be made in an effort to reduce Covid-risks). She was flexible, kind, and incredibly engaged throughout our entire process and she collaborated seamlessly with all of our vendors (even those she hadn't worked with prior) to create our vision. We along with our parents and ALL of our guests are still swooning over our florals. Truly the end result of all the planning was something out of a dream--sheer perfection! We are SO blessed to have been a couple that had their dream wedding floral'd by Petaloso!

e and beyond what I had imagined. Her flowers made my mother in law cry ! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area. I wasn’t a big flower person until Lori did our wedding this past weekend and not I’m a HUGE fan !!

was postponed due to the pandemic. Lori stuck with us and accommodated our many changes in plans. I couldn’t have been happier with the end result! Our family and friends are still talking about how beautiful the floral designs were! I would highly recommend Petaloso!

brought tears to our eyes, especially the bride's. We feel so blessed to have worked with Lori to create the magical atmosphere that fulfilled my daughter's dream wedding expectations. Perfection at its best!!

easure of working with. My dream wedding would not have been possible without Lori or her team.

- I showed her a handful of inspiration pictures and she instantly knew the flowers I liked, the colors I was gravitating toward and the structure of arrangements I preferred. She put together a stunning mood board for the wedding, and I knew she was the one we needed on our team. On wedding day, the flowers were absolutely perfect - they truly exceeded my expectations. I could not recommend Lori highly enough. If you want magazine-worthy florals for your wedding, you need to book Petaloso!

ri to go over our vision for our day. I only needed to share simply descriptions such as natural, airy, timeless, and asymmetrical, and she knew exactly what I was describing. During our meeting, she took the time to get to know my husband and myself. Not knowing exactly which flowers we wanted, we leaned on Lori for inspiration, and she took our vision beyond expectations! She has a true passion for what she does, and is so knowledgeable. She was so much fun to work with and she got along fabulously with our other vendors, especially our wedding planners. She provided flowers for our cake as well as petals for the flower girl. She worked with our budget, and while we were not going to spare a cost when it came to florals, she did not take advantage of that. She was always willing to work with what made us comfortable, suggesting in season flowers and installations that made sense to our layout. On the day of our wedding, we were completely blown away, and so were our guests! Our wedding would not have been nearly as beautiful without Lori's touch! The bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, sweetheart table, and flowers for the wedding cake were jaw dropping! People are still talking about our floral arrangements! We highly recommend Lori for her creativity, personal touch, knowledge, integrity, and vision! You will not be disappointed!

to her, and she immediately got it! We were told that Lori loved to build installations and be unique and different- exactly what we wanted! Between the time we started working together, our first wedding date had to be rescheduled due to Hurricance Florence and Lori did her best to work with us in re-distributing our flowers and working with insurance. Cut to our actual wedding day and all we can say is WOW! Walking into the pavilion at Middleton Place, our jaws dropped as we set our eyes on the installs Lori and her team created. We wanted an “enchanted garden” like feel and she did exactly that. Lori was also extremely easy to work with and an absolute pleasure. We wish we lived in Charleston full time so we could do more events with her. If you’re looking for that wow moment, or looking to work with the best florist in Charleston – look no further than Lori Denicola and We are Petaloso –

p talking about all the amazing floral accents at our reception. They used only the most beautiful flowers for each piece. I felt I did not have to give them much direction for them to make beautiful pieces; from the center pieces at each table, to accents at our photo-both. Do not look any further for a florist! Petaloso is 100% the way to go!

Lori was able to take what I explained and make it a stunning reality. Everything came together perfectly and Lori was the best to work with. Highly recommend!

met with her to discuss color palette, floral aesthetic and design inspiration and I then left the rest of it in her hands and boy did she deliver! We cannot wait to sprinkle photos of our vow renewal all over the internet, but must wait until it's officially published :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making it perfect!

lly turned my vision into a flower heaven! I wanted a certain flower in my bouquet which wasn't in season on my wedding date, and she went above and beyond to get this flower for me, and the bouquet was stunning! I'll never forget the moment she brought the bouquet to me while we were getting ready, I was totally blown away! We got so many compliments from all of our guests on how beautiful the flowers were, and I owe this all to Lori and her incredible team and talent! I highly recommend booking Petaloso!

one we could really trust to understand and pull off our vision and Lori did it perfectly! We were so impressed when we walked in and saw everything for the first time. The flowers were so beautiful! My bouquet was absolutely stunning and the tablescape was amazing. She made sure to include everything that was important to us such as my late brother’s infantry cord so it still felt like he could be with us celebrating. Thank you so, so much!

taloso did... You know those bouquet and floral tablescape Pinterest pictures that make you think they must be too good to be true to actually happen in real life? Lori puts Pinterest to shame! I am someone who doesn't know much about types/names of flowers. All I knew was that I had a certain 'look' and color palette in my head. Despite not having a super specific plan in mind, from the first phone conversation and me trying to articulate my ideas, Lori just got me. She asked all the right questions and together, helped me make my initial all-over-the-place vision come to life! I wish I could've had a few more hours at my wedding just so I could've sat there and admired how STUNNING all the floral pieces throughout our venue looked. She is a TRUE artist and talent. Not only that, but she is just such a kind, sweet, and wonderful person in general. I wish I could post pictures on this review to show what an amazing job Lori and her team did. Please trust me when I say whether it's bouquets and bouts, or statement pieces like the floating flowers and giant floral backdrop frame she did for us, Petaloso is simply the best. Of all the vendors you may have to stress over selecting throughout the engagement process, don't let your florist be one of them. Petaloso was the easiest choice I made :)

an with it, offering pictures, suggestions, and asking questions to really get down to what I did and didn’t like. Even in the months leading up to our wedding, she would consistently update my paperwork to include comments I had made to make sure that everything was just how I envisioned it. From that point on, I never had to worry. I was a bride with a very specific idea of how I hoped our wedding would look, but I never had to worry with Lori. I knew that whatever she created would be absolutely gorgeous and completely in sync with the look I had hoped for. And it was! Her design was absolutely breathtaking and completely transformed the venue. I’ve told Lori that I wish I had an excuse for her to dress me up in florals every day—she is really just so good! I would recommend Petaloso to ANY bride. They are the best of the best in Charleston and truly will take your special day to another level.

ored with how beautiful it turned out -- greenery chandelier and all! She absolutely SLAYED. Book Petaloso - you'll be thrilled you did!

d communication was always clear and open!

I wholeheartedly recommend!
