Secret Floral Garden

e process of picking all the details (table settings, flower arrangements, etc.). They made every step easy and truly went above and beyond helping me with overall venue layouts and more. Looking at my wedding photos today, my breath still gets taken away by how stunning the flowers looked. They absolutely nailed the color scheme and everything I envisioned. I cannot recommend them enough!

ce of mind due to both her demeanor and experience and helped us ensure our welcome dinner, ceremony, and reception were beautiful and consistent! Our wedding venue was the Butterfly Garden in the Houston Museum of Natural Science. This presented a special challenge in that no "real" flowers could be used in the ceremony. I put real in quotes because Linda at the Secret Floral Garden created an arch with artificial flowers that looked so real no one even thought they were fake! It was truly awe-inspiring and our guests raved about it throughout our entire reception. She also created lovely bouquets for my now wife and our daughters and a boutonniere for me that also looked fantastic. We loved the decorations in the venue as well. It really looked amazing and we were incredibly happy with it. She also connected us with a printer who made a board for our escort cards as well as a welcome sign for the night before using our color scheme and our design. It really helped pull everything together over our wedding days! Additionally, at the last minute, we asked her to provide flowers for the day before at our Welcome Dinner and she came through in a big way. They were so beautiful and gave the patio we had our event a much more uniform and beautiful look that matched our wedding theme. Secret Floral Garden and Linda are HIGHLY recommended if you want a beautiful wedding!

with our venue…and was very patient, too! Thank you SFG for making our wedding day beautiful!!!

in their inventory. I don’t have any regrets about booking SFG . I would definitely recommend them to a friend.

y reaction when I saw the reception space. My family, friends, and even strangers are still talking about how incredible everything turned out. He understood the vision and executed flawlessly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

e did I know when I got engaged in 2018, our wedding would not take place until summer of 2021. We have planned and planned this darn thing. After the first wave of cases, we made the difficult decision of postponing our special day. It was tough and terrifying, but we wanted to do what was best for our guests. Another facet of this terror was all the horror stories of brides past who had to forfeit their large deposits since venues would not transfer their date and money. Obviously, that is another soapbox I will not get on. SFG and Linda were godsends! They transferred my deposit to my new date with ease. We also changed our venue at this point and they adapted without missing a beat. Our original talks included inspiration pictures and colors I hoped to incorporate in our theme. I love white and modern vibes for the wedding ceremony. My flowers of choice were orchids, hydrangeas, and white roses. She sent me a spread sheet with the break down and prices. It all made my organization heart happy. Linda met with me during the venue walkthrough and helped with designing displays that would match the space. She and her team were prompt and came to break down at the time specified. Let's talk about the flowers for a second here. THEY ARE LITERALLY MASSIVE. Honest, it looked like we spent double our final price on flowers/decor. All the guests were absolutely floored. I am an orchid fanatic and I have never seen orchids so monstrous in size. They are all in similar stages of bloom and beyond healthy. My own dad thought it was fake and he even walked me down the aisle, in close proximity to my breathtaking (talk about Pinterest dreams are made here) white orchid bouquet. They exceeded my expectations and then some. So so impressed. I thought I would walk out the venue thinking PFTTT flowers. These arrangements were so beyond beautiful; everyone (including myself) took a handful home. I am literally preserving my bouquet because I just cannot let go of this awe and splendor. I would recommend them to all brides, of all aesthetics. Do it, you won't regret it.

den to make my dreams come true. Unfortunately I am leaving this review quite disappointed - for a number of reasons. I felt like she didn’t work with me and my budget very much. I ended up adding an ADDITIONAL $3000 to my budget to ENSURE I got what I wanted. She didn’t propose many alternatives that I could consider. She did warn us that my flowers would cost more since I had to reschedule my original date to mother’s day weekend.   When it came to delivering my payment. I had my brother coordinate dropping off the payment. It was very unprofessional of her to state she would be available but when he drove across town to deliver the payment she didn’t pick up multiple of his calls. He had a large payment ready to drop off and she inconsiderately did not answer any of his calls. Lastly she added something into the final contract without notifying me. At our original meetings with my mom as witness, we discussed reusing our reception centerpieces as floral decoration for the church. At the in-person meetings, she ensured her team could transport the flowers. A week before the wedding, she updated the contract without letting me know that she wrote in the margins that Secret Floral Garden now would NOT help transport the flowers. Probably one of the last things you want to hear as a bride on the day of- luckily my groomsmen and parents were able to figure it out with the help of my day-of-coordinator. As I said from the beginning, flowers are the most important part of the wedding for me. The flowers themselves were beautiful I will admit. For how much I paid, I did expect more. However I would not recommend SFG for their unprofessional behavior, lack of proper communication, and unexpected increases in pricing.

ul and exceeded my expectations. Wedding guests and those who attended our after party were stunned at how Steve was able to beautify our plain space! It could not have been more perfect!

moved the date to August and had to scale way back on the number of guests; but I still wanted the décor and flowers to be special for their micro-wedding. Steve more than delivered!!! The ceremony set up was beautifully done and we received so many compliments. All the décor was a surprise for my daughter. She said that when the doors opened for her to process down the aisle, the flowers and candelabra took her breath away. Exactly the reaction I wanted her to have!!! We were truly blown away with the dinner décor. From candelabra, chargers, tablecloths, a candle wall and flowers, everything was perfect. Steve and his crew came early for set up and stayed to move arrangements from the ceremony space to the dinner space. Steve stayed until everything was set up perfectly and oversaw every aspect of the design and execution. SFG will be doing the décor and florals for our big celebration in June. We are all excited to see how Steve will wow us again!!

ere beyond easy to work with, enthusiastic, and professional. We would highly recommend SFG to anyone! Thank you for helping make our wedding dreams come true!

ew is communication. In our contract, it stated that we needed to have all items we wished to rent finalized and that we needed to pay off the remaining balance right around a month before our event date. No problem, thats how most vendors are. The issue that we had was trying to get ahold of The Secret Floral Garden to correctly update our rental inventory. I had tried reaching out multiple times from the middle of August through the end of September to have the quote correctly updated and even with questions about their rental decor. No responses. I had finally heard from them a few days before the wedding (early November) with a quote that still was not updated per my requests previously sent. Then the following evening, a demand for immediate payment. I understand the haste in needing to be paid being that close to the event, but the invoice had not been correctly updated, they had not sent any form of payment links or forms to us prior to this, nor were we able to get into contact with them during the past 2ish months. When we had talked on the phone that night, they said that the items had already been reserved, wrapped, and loaded on the truck for our event that weekend, so we could not simply remove them from the invoice or from the truck. Their "compromise" for lack of communication was to remove the charge for cheapest set of items that I had requested be removed multiple times months before, but that we had to eat a couple of hundred dollars for the most expensive set that had been requested to be removed, that they were going to leave on the invoice. Don't get me wrong, everything that we ended up renting (whether it was intentional or we were stuck with it) was beautiful. But doing all of this 3 days before our wedding was uncalled for and could have been easily avoided had there been better communication from them and correctly updated invoices by the date specified in our contract.

ers turned out amazing!

so Steve was such a huge help in making the planning process easy and fun. Everything looked beautiful and elegant, from my bouquet, to table arrangements, to chargers, to candles, and more. The team truly went above and beyond in planning, execution, and set up. Thank you, Secret Floral Garden!!

les of what he was talking about. He understood my vision and the final product was beautiful. I also loved that I could use them for linens and other decor. A little pricey, but I don’t have any complaints about the final product!

ent slightly over budget for the flowers. The flowers were all beautiful along with the centerpieces. Our sweetheart table was absolutely gorgeous. We did have a flower wall and when I saw it for the first time, there were noticeable patches missing. No worries though, they fixed it. It was all very beautifully and tastefully decorated.

ing on my wedding day! He was so easy to work with and super sweet!! He is really great about you giving him a vision and him making it a reality! He was amazing to work with. Super talented!

corsages were absolutely gorgeous, making the ceremony, cocktail and reception spaces dreamlike. Steve and his group are wonderful to work with and extremely talented.

lk through my vision and see how she enhanced it with her expertise.

come true. She did an excellent job and the flowers were beautiful!

ast minute problems that popped up. I would recommend them to any bride who wants a seamless and beautiful wedding!

at I wanted when I told him my super vague vision of having “loose garden style flowers”. My guests thoroughly enjoyed the flowers- they were beautiful! Steve truly seemed like he wanted us to get the most bang for our buck and I never once felt like he was pushing us to spend more than we wanted- he actually even saved us money with some of his suggestions. (I can’t say the same for some other florists we looked into) Steve was so accommodating with all of my last minute changes and requests, which is very appreciated from someone as indecisive as me! Thank you so much Steve- you rock!

he table center pieces with them to take to my clinic so patients could enjoy them too whilst I was on my Honeymoon.

ade the process of choosing flowers very easy. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but he helped me through it and gave us some great choices. He also provided us advice on how to save some money by getting certain items ourselves! As far as the venue/centerpieces and bridal bouquets, everything looked beautiful. The boutonnieres and wristlets were somewhat disappointing in that they were not the easiest to pin and the roses fell off of several of them early into the event. Otherwise, we were very happy with Steve and the Secret Floral Garden team.

he perfect package to meet my budget needs! They provided my flowers and rentals (chairs, tables) and I DIYed my own centerpieces (due to budget constraints) and Steve made sure everything was done flawlessly! He was very responsive and professional and made sure every detail was thought of. I HIGHLY recommend Secret Floral Garden and Steve!!

y had a general idea of the theme I wanted to portray for my wedding. I was so overwhelmed with all these flowers that I didn't even know the names of! She was so patient with me and showed me all the images of the flowers she thought would fit and my vision started becoming reality. Not only did she help me with flowers, but also other decor items like table runners, lanterns, etc.... Definitely a one-stop shop! It is an understatement that she hit the nail on the head. On my wedding day, I was never once stressed about the flowers. Her team was out there bright and early and I took several peeks into the reception hall and it looked absolutely stunning. Her attention to detail is amazing - bar none. Of all the decor I received most compliments on the beautiful floral arrangements. No joke - my mom still keeps the a dead bouquet because it was so beautiful. I would highly recommend to anyone!

wers and look we were after and she provided the perfect arrangement. On the day of our wedding, their setup was amazing. They came to the venue and were able to completely set-up and make our reception beautiful while allowing my wife and I to focus on getting ready. Can definitely recommend The Secret Floral Garden for your wedding or any other event!

l it took for her to lay out to us our perfect wedding. She guided us throughout all the decor and floral options like a pro and we felt completely comfortable and ensured by everything. Day of, everything was perfect. It was better than I could have possibly imagined. To this day, I still get compliments on the decor and flowers. Highly recommend!

of compliments on the flowers and decor at the wedding, and he was very good about emphasizing his professional opinion when he thought something I wanted would not look right - and I'm glad I listened. Overall, he listened to what I wanted, we collaborated back and forth together, and everything came together beautifully on the big day!

ng the way. We could not have been happier with her services.

it all! From the beautiful arch, floral arrangements, linens, you perfected every detail. You made our daughters wedding absolutely beautiful. From our first meeting with you I knew we made the right decision to pick you as the decorator. You are a one stop shop for all our wedding decor needs. I would not do anything different. Your vision, hard work and sweet spirit made the day just perfect. Thank you so much!

lopsided. The weather was perfect, maybe just a slight comfortable breeze so I don't feel that wind was a factor. My groom took pics of everything getting set up and I saw that it was clearly lopsided while they were still there attaching flowers to it. For what I paid, I really feel that a lot more effort could have gone into fixing it before they left. Now that annoying crooked thing is in my wedding photos for life - super displeasing to the eye. All the rest of my floral was gorgeous. I would say 5 stars for the rest of my floral and less than 0 for the arch.

k out the perfect types of flowers. Everything turned out beautifully. I have been to weddings where the flowers are wilted or browning and there was none of that with her. She really did a beautiful job. They arrangements and bouquets were to perfection. Prices are also very good compared to others in the area.

e. Linda was the first florist I interviewed and I knew right away that I didn't have to look any further. Her prices are very affordable and her floral arrangements are gorgeous! I received so many great comments about the flowers after my wedding. She also does lighting and decor which is also lovely. For me it was "killing two birds with one stone". I would highly recommend the Secret Floral Garden!

y friends and family.

s easy to work with, and I would recommend her for anyone!

e Linda from the Secret Floral Garden after seeing her work the day we went to check out the venue. She was absolutely amazing to work with! Flowers aren’t really my thing but I had an idea of what I wanted after searching on Pinterest! =) My mother and I had an appointment with her early on just for us to discuss flowers and what I wanted and things she recommended and to get an idea of the price. My grandma is a retired florist and so I checked with her on the prices and she thought we were getting a good deal so…My mother and I made another appointment along with my grandma to get everything going in a contract. She showed us around her building of the work that she was currently doing and how she does everything. It was AMAZING! The week of the wedding she gave me a time that she would be there to set everything up and she was ON TIME! =) She had every bouquet and boutonniere labeled for who it was suppose to go to. Everything turned out BEAUTIFUL & looked good the entire night. I would highly recommend Linda from the Secret Floral Garden!!! =)

responsive to emails as well!

place of the not usable one. Great price for the quality too.

ed The Secret Floral Garden, and I decided to go with them. Their quote for our table centerpieces was the lowest I received for the same centerpiece from 3 different vendors. They delivered the centerpieces on time as promised. And the centerpieces looked lovely and lasted for days after we brought them home.

ng you want may not work with the overall look. She has examples of the different types of arrangements to help someone without a pre set vision create a look of their dreams. She took care of all the drapery, linens, floral needs, and rentals for my wedding. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

a few pictures with me to our initial meeting and she was able to create exactly what I was thinking. She rattled off names of flowers so quickly and really knew her stuff. Her prices fell within my budget and she was so easy to work with! I changed a few things after our first meeting and she was quick to respond with a new quote each time. She is the best!

ked for a better experience.
