The Plant Gallery

is an absolute expert. I can't imagine the process being any better. After getting quotes from a few other companies about decor/candles, The Plant Gallery was a no brainer. And in budget. The flowers were delivered on time and the gentleman, I hate that I can't remember his name, made sure I was happy with everything before he left. It was perfect. Thank you!

I strongly recommend Eva at The Plant Gallery for any wedding and/or event. Thank you for everything - Mr. & Mrs. Bell 10/11/2019.

hrough everything, always keeping in mind our budget and never pressuring us. She was able to bring our vision to life and nailed it on the flowers and archway for the wedding. The colors were beautiful and the candlelight they provided for the reception was beautiful and romantic. TPG is also a budget friendly option but their quality is A+. Highly recommend working with Eva and her team!

she was told there were additional fees which weren't mentioned on her initial consultation. When she complained, they did not waive the fees but said they could stay on budget if they changed out the flowers and made the bouquets smaller. No thanks! So at a late date, she called the Plant Gallery and they met with her immediately. From the "get go " she felt they "got" her vision and she felt confident with them and the price, especially since they prepared a very detailed proposal, complete with photos. On wedding day, we sent an apprehensive (out of his element) father-of-the-bride to the Plant Gallery to pick up the bouquets, boutineers, and cake flowers . He was immediately put at ease as the staff gave him instructions/suggestions and loaded up his vehicle with the order. My daughter was beyond thrilled with all the flowers but the big, gorgeous bouquets truly exceeded her expectations and made for beautiful photos.

was easy via phone and email. Highly recommend!

ng to go to TPG, PLEASE! Eva & the rest of your staff are amazing. Every floral arrangement, bouquets & all, left family, friends, me & most importantly our daughter, the bride, speechless. What TPG really provided was a lifetime of perfect wedding memories for our daughter to cherish & share with her future children. Thank you so much, Tracie LeCompte

wn and they put together mock ups of the bouquets. We described what we were looking for with the chuppah flora and garland on the staircase and it was perfect! I was literally in awe when I arrived at the venue on the day and saw how beautiful everything was. They also had gold lanterns to rent that was a special touch. Thank you Plant Gallery for making it a gorgeous day!

ur venue. I couldn’t recommend The Plant Gallery more!

nd greenery were perfect and exactly what I had envisioned for our wedding day. My bouquet was STUNNING and all my bridesmaids had beautiful bouquets standing next to me. I am so tankful to have amazing photos to look back on and enjoy our flowers. Thanks so much!

perfectly. Eva is wonderful, and we would definitely recommend her to everyone. Thank you so much!

couldn’t have been happier. Great job TPG!

ay! Thank you to the whole team at The Plant Gallery!!

our plans, didn't push for more or less and were honest. The payment system is super easy and transparent, they were always prompt in replies with questions and with our modifications. The days before well coordinated and the day of was perfect with delivery. We loved every aspect of working with the Plant Gallery!

be left in the good hands of Eva. Well unfortunately that was not the experience I had. Communication was hard. My fiancé and I had three or four meetings with her and cut quite a lot from our previous proposal, but some how the total was more than what was quoted to me with previous floral designer. Through our meetings, I told Eva I was allergic to tree fern and all fern. I even literally pointed the flower out. The day of my wedding the delivery man (who I might add was the nicest person on this floral staff) dropped off the flowers and tree fern was EVERYWHERE. After touching the flowers I broke out in rashes and blisters on my arms and neck from scratching. My mother called TPG and was told that I obviously had no idea what I was taking about, never told them I was allergic to “this fern”, and “just keep her away from those wearing the pieces with fern” I.e my father, my husband, my mom, and the whole bridal party. After much hassle and rudeness from Eva and her staff, they agreed to remake all the corsages and boutineers...While my mom and bridesmaids CLIPPED OUT THE FERN BY HAND from 8 bouquets, because they “couldn’t” be remade. I can atleast say the delivery man came and picked up the corsages and they were fixed in a timely manner. The flowers were beautiful and the mistake of the fern wouldn’t have ruined my experience with them IF they had handled it professionally, but sadly they did not and for that a bad taste has been left in my mouth.

o confirm this change, and the vases were still delivered to the wrong location. It all ended up working out, but it certainly wasn't a smooth experience.

out of state, I had my first consultations by phone. Eva studied my Pinterest inspiration closely, effortlessly identified the different plants I liked in various photos, and put together a package that was well within my budget of $3,000. She communicated with me and gave me creative freedom to sketch out what I wanted everything to look like. When my color palette changed closer to the wedding, she revamped my package with ease, switching out what wasn't working and keeping my favorites. We had an in-person consultation about a month before the wedding; if you haven't visited TPG's shop on Airline Hwy, GO! It's beautifully decorated and has wonderful gifts for all occasions. Eva sat down with me for more than an hour and threw together mock arrangements for me so I could make some final decisions. Honestly, I was a stressed-out bride, but this vendor made planning FUN. The day of the wedding, TPG adorned my venue with so many flowers, I was dazzled and it looked exactly as I had pictured it. When all was said and done, I had a beautiful bohemian bridal bouquet, 10 bridesmaids bouquets (these all doubled as centerpieces after the ceremony), 10+ boutonnieres, a gorgeous floral/greenery arch for my ceremony, a garland for my family table, and jars of gorgeous blossoms everywhere! It was exactly what I wanted and the flowers were exquisite. I highly recommend TPG--they were professional, responsive, and made the experience so fun and personal.

pretty vague requirements (flowy, burgundy, blush, and cream, with lots of greenery) and sent two photos from Pinterest. Even the day of my wedding, I didn't really care what flowers arrived. When we got the knock on our door with our bouquets I was shocked. I LOVED the flowers!! They ended up being one of my favorite things (I spent a lot of time simply staring at the my bouquet taking in it's beauty). My bridesmaids were going on and on about how beautiful my bouquet was. I ended up having my mom take it home to preserve because I loved it that much! I would highly, highly suggest working with Plant Gallery!

Floral Manager, Eva (who took on my wedding project after their floral designer took another job at the end of September), made decisions regardless of what we discussed and agreed upon without notifying me. My large centerpieces were NOT large, they were the wrong shape, and included flowers and greenery I DID NOT APPROVE. I wanted a large amount of candles, but the amount of candles at my wedding were sparse to say the least. I was also supposed to have candles at the church per our last discussion. However, there were no candles in the church. Who places an order for non-refundable decor without checking with the bride first? She emailed me to let me know she spent her day off getting the items (like she is the only one who works on her day off). And, I was supposed to be getting the items, not her, because TPG dropped the ball from our original conversation. Mind you, the original designer, who I loved and was working with left The Plant Gallery. No one reached out to me after she left to make sure TPG knew exactly what I wanted. At my request, I spent almost two hours on a call with Eva and one of my wedding planners re-going over the details of the wedding florals and decor. Eva told me she ordered the florals without being sure she had ordered the correct shade of red, but she said it would go great. Nope. I feel Eva lacked the attention to detail and professionalism I expect from a wedding vendor. She did not respect my vision for my wedding or the time I spent going over wedding details in that specific approved florals and decor were not used. Brides do not need extra stress with under two weeks to the wedding!!!! As for the smaller centerpieces, sparse is an understatement and my choices of flowers and and vases were ignored!! This review only scratches the surface of my experience. In the days after the wedding, I emailed the owner, Kenny Rabalais, to explain my extreme disappointment in his company. He promptly responded by email and asked for photos of the flowers. Since I had only explained that I was very upset but had not discussed the actual details of this fiasco, I responded with the photos and asked him to call me at his earliest convenience. After more than a week of no response, I repeatedly emailed and called TPG to attempt to reach Kenny to no avail. It was only after giving him a deadline of 4pm on November 5, more than 10 days after I initially contacted him, that Kenny responded. After requesting multiple times to meet with him and/ or have a call with him, he asked me to email him again. It took me a few days to put together my email along with subsequent emails including attachments outlining my experience. The emails were sent on November 9 to Kenny as well as Eva and TPG’s accountant (who was on copy to Kenny’s email to me), and I have received no response or resolution of the matter. The customer service or lack thereof by the owner of this company is appalling. I should not have to explain my “side” of the story over and over again and prove why I have a right to be disappointed. If anyone wants to know the whole story, I’d love to tell it! My other vendors were amazing!!!!!! Too bad I cannot say the same of The Plant Gallery. 

t. We had a miscommunication with the date when I contacted them to confirm, but it was quickly resolved. While I was out the day before the wedding, the Plant Gallery delivered to my hotel the most gorgeous bouquet and boutonniere. The price was incredibly fair, as I had priced bouquets in my home area, and their bouquets were much more than what the Plant Gallery quoted, and I don't trust that they could have made a more beautiful bouquet. Thank you, Plant Gallery!

d The Plant Gallery they do beautiful work!

ey made the experience easy and enjoyable. I wish I could have taken all the flowers with me! They were gorgeous!

I made, not only was she able to make it happen, she came up with a way to make it better than I could have imagined. The flowers were gorgeous, the designs spectacular and the gasps upon entering the room were audible. Eva and The Plant Gallery added the exclamation point to the most perfect event.

honor's bouquest and the boutonnieres were very well done as was the arrangement for the dinner table. We were so pleased with the all the flowers!

ully! They were so easy to work with and allowed us complete customization of individual plants.

a bouquet that was my "inspiration" for the entire color scheme of our wedding and TPG actually complimented the colors and worked with and around it. Many other locations kind of blew it off and did not want to even incorporate the correct colors. Working with Ava, we put together a VERY detailed plan. It started off with the "if there was no budget this is what we would do" scenario but each piece was split up. So once I received that I could pick and choose what my budget allowed for, what I could not live without etc. We ended up with the perfect result for the perfect price. Ava and her team also showed up on time to everything (3 different locations) on the day of the wedding. They made sure everything was okay and that I was 100% happy with the result. At the venue they stuck around to make sure the cake and alter arrangements were perfectly placed and then moved when needed. I can't say how thankful for that original consultation sit down with Ava was. She truly listened, and help me wrap my inspiration into real ideas and fantastic results.

pp Fountain and the Arbor Room look beautiful. Eva and her team did an amazing job. Highly recommend!

rking with Eva was a breeze...we showed her photos and she provided advice, guidance and design options in an effort to make our daughter's wedding floral vision a reality!! Unparalleled customer service, quality and floral magnificence!

mantic flowers!!

le with plants and flowers and with a background in design, I had a vision for my wedding. TPG was the only florist that worked with me to achieve my dream wedding. The flowers surpassed all expectations. Eva went above and beyond to make sure I am happy with every detail. She is the absolute best florist you will find for any occasion. Everything they do is outstanding. I have referred several people to The Plant Gallery since then and will continue to do so.

floral decor. Marshall and I were greatful to have you on our team.

they work so closely with wedding venues in NOLA already they were able to tell me what works best with my venue and helped me design my perfect floral plan. Eva hand delivered my flowers to my prep location and wished me well on my day... so sweet! Customer service is incredible and they are easy to get a hold of . I highly recommend TPG to any bride in NOLA. Affordable, fun and made my dreams a reality.

to move the date. The Plant Gallery was already booked, yet they were determinded to help give me the wedding of my dreams. That's they kind of people they are. Not only were they accommodating under my circumstances , but when I tell you that the flowers were absolutely stunning, I'm being modest. It was hard for me to put into words what I wanted, but they could see it when we talked and they made it come to life even better than I imagined. I will recommend them to everyone and anyone. LOVE their work, LOVE their customer service. They are the total package.

n into a reality and helped me all along the way. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is that there was a miscommunication about time of the wedding so the flowers for the ceremony arrived literally 10 minutes before the ceremony began. Other than that, the flowers were beautiful and perfect and Lesmes has a great eye for florals and knows what he is doing. Thank y'all so much for everything!

. We had several phone conferences with him during which my daughter outlined what she wanted. His creations were spot on. The Plant Gallery went above and beyond our discussions and we couldn't have been more pleased.

feel like I was in a fairy tale. My bouquet was so luscious with gorgeous peonies, and all of the arrangements were stunning. We worked with Eva Baillie, and she really went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. They have so many beautiful containers, and the candles were fabulous as well. I know hiring a candle company is the norm in New Orleans, but TPG really created beautiful candle designs for us.

were gorgeous and exactly as I envisioned. When I got my first estimate I had to reduce the amount of flowers to lower the cost - I had just gone over my budget a bit - but he didn't flinch, changed it quickly and got it down to where I was comfortable with the amount. Couldn't be happier.

ything of it. She thought something looked off and asked what my colors were I told her white,pink,purple she asked about blue I said no I specifically told them no blue she showed me the photos of my flowers and there was "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" blue flowers in everything. I was furious and immediately called The Plant Gallery and they came to correct the mistake. The only answer I received was that it was an oversight on their end. To me an oversight is a hand full of incorrect flowers not buckets upon buckets of hideous blue flowers. Brides hear me now believe me later: 1. Have everything delivered very early. 2. Take tons of pictures of everything during consultation. 3. Read your contract 4. Show whomever signs for the flowers what everything is supposed to look like 5. Check everything upon arrival I had very high hopes for my wedding day flowers and was severely disappointed. The only reason that I gave them a 3 and not lower is that they did come back and correct the mistake and everything was done on time.

unt my budget and worked with me on getting what I wanted for the right price. Highly recommend!

n I first met with them, I didn't know exactly what I wanted, and they were able to work with me through my vision and offer me ideas that I hadn't thought of. After our first two meetings and signing the contract, I didn't have to think about my wedding flowers again. They arrived perfectly on time and delivered on everything I asked for. I would recommend them to anyone!

flowers!

s to the large reception arrangements everything looked beautiful. Eva was wonderful about reusing flowers and arrangements from the rehearsal dinner and making sure everything was moved on time to where it needed to be. She was a pleasure to work with.

eme 7 days before the wedding when they had already ordered they flowers. I called Eva on a Friday night to ask her to change it and she said, "No problem!!" She was so understanding and helpful. Ill include a short video just to show how beautiful the flowers were! https://vimeo.com/143289237?ref=fb-share

lery put me at ease from our first meeting. They were able to take a few photographs I had and turn them into a fully decorated venue that somehow perfectly matched what I was looking for. It was like they were able to read my mind! Even with a personnel transition, they kept up the quality of service. My ceremony and reception was beautiful.

se bouquets! I want to live in there!" (I had had some champagne...) When I called to make a last minute appointment the head florist was out and they wanted me to switch times. I couldn't and am so glad I ended up with Lesmes. He was AH-MAZING! He is full of energy and I felt like I should tip him after our consultation. He ran and got so many flowers to throw together for us so we could actually visualize everything. I wanted to choose TPG just because of Lesmes but we were on a major budget. Well, after 3 other bids TPG was the cheapest and they seemed to have so much more to offer. So glad we went with Lesmes and the Plant Gallery. Great job! Our pictures look amazing thanks to you.

u work a full time job, you can forget trying to make an appointment for a consultation because they are not flexible AT ALL! You would think I would have been offered the opportunity to consult with someone over the phone or email, but no! Very disappointed in their customer service.

to my bouquet, the first ring my grandfather ever gave my grandmother, Shane was able to securely fasten this to my bouquet so that I could carry it down the aisle with me. I lost the hospitality The Plant Gallery shows for their clients and will continue to use them for my floral needs 😊 Kristen P

om the pictures online I chose two florists to check out. The first one I contacted was The Plant Gallery. Shane sent me a questionnaire to fill out and upon sending it in, I immediately got an email back from Shane saying he loved my ideas and couldn't wait to talk about it. I don't believe I ever got a questionnaire from the other florist. So, we went to meet Shane, and I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when we pulled up to a nursery instead of a more common store front type set up. After spending a few hours going over everything, it was clear we were on the same page! It was so wonderful to have someone be a part of our event that was so clearly excited about what he does. The second florist was a sharp contrast. Everything I asked about that was out of the norm was a 'no'. The decision was easy to make after we visited the second place. So, I brought in driftwood pieces that Shane then cleaned and lightly rubbed with gold. Then he used succulents and garden roses in pinks and reds to implant into the driftwood. Think deco black and gold mixed with the more woodland look of driftwood and succulents. It was an odd combo, but it came out gorgeous!! For my bouquet I wanted a garden style but I also wanted brooches in it, so he wired the brooches in such a way that they looked like they were just part of the flowers. I also wanted an archway made that was completely covered in flowers. It ended up looking better than I imagined! All the other odds and ends, like center pieces, boutonnieres, bridesmaids bouquets, etc. were done perfectly too! I really feel like Shane went above and beyond for me. He was excited about his work and it showed! On top of all this, they were, by far, the cheapest!!! It was a dream come true!!!

which is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1, but customer service seems lacking and that is extremely important especially in this industry.

up on the day of and we're not really sure why. An email from the consultant was not responded to.

g very hard...let me explain: my wedding was on December 13th of 2014, namely 12 -13- 14, a very busy day for weddings. It was also in the middle of the Christmas season, also a very busy time for florists. I understand all of these factors, however I feel that my flowers were not done well enough. We had started planning for this wedding a year and a half in advanced and had contacted them in December of 2013. Our planning took a long time due to many factors such as figuring out our budget, playing phone tag, and trying to get an actual paper copy of our plans and how much it would cost. It was also brought to my attention that there was another wedding they were doing the day of my own which was completely opposite of my own budget wise; this girl had no budget and they were willing to please her no matter what. I bring this up because I feel they were more concerned with her wedding than mine due to her lack of budget. I feel strongly about this because flowers that we spent money on such as a $35 hair comb for my grandmother which was supposed to be white roses and Christmas greens were nothing more than tiny roses with very little Christmas greens. There are more examples lackluster flowers but I will not get into them individually. We also ordered a throwaway bouquet which we did not receive and did not find out about until it was time to throw the bouquet. thankfully the wedding coordinator at City Park, my venue, was able to make one from the flowers of one of the centerpieces. It was very embarrassing to know that I did not have a real throw a bouquet. We were told we could keep all of the centerpieces after the wedding, but after the wedding had stopped my mother was told that the centerpieces never made it back to the plant gallery which was where they said they would deliver it. It took about 4 days for them to find the centerpieces which we had thought had been thrown away. And upon returning from my honeymoon I find that my mother is still playing phone tag with the plant gallery trying to get an explanation as to what in the world happened. I expected so much more but wasn't completely dissatisfied. I just wish that it would have felt like my wedding would have been focused on just as much as any other woman despite what the budget was.

e entire planning process. Our flowers were so amazing, I loved how everything turned out. The bouquets to the reception décor were stunning! We were so impressed with Shane's professionalism and friendliness, we would highly recommend The Plant Gallery to everyone.

ngs to the Memorial tribute vase he made for my grandfather, were perfect. I can't wait for the pictures to come back . I highly recommend TPG, for everything you need from Linens' to chairs... They do it ALL!

shop, so no need for a separate florist, decorator, and lighting specialist..they do it all! And they do it amazingly!!! I had no set vision for my outdoor ceremony or the reception, but after meeting with Shane he helped me create my vision. I trusted him 100% and he did not disappoint. My wedding was everything I wanted and more. I would highly recommend the Plant Gallery to any Bride!!

consultation and only brought one flower picture with me. From that one picture, Shane was able to bring my vision for my bouquets, boutonnieres, reception flowers and decor to life. When I saw the flowers and decor at my reception, I just couldn't believe how stunning it was!! They made the whole experience so easy and stress free. I highly recommend The Plant Gallery and I will use them for all of my flower and decor needs in the future!!!

On the day of my wedding I was blown away by the floral arrangements. They were seriously something out of a dream or a bridal magazine-I could not believe they were my flower arrangements. The flowers were absolutely perfect and the budget was significantly lower than any other estimates we had got. The plant gallery was absolutely perfect!!

how beautiful they were. People were asking to bring them home at the end of the reception. Three days later the flowers still look fresh. The colors were vibrant. If you want beautiful flowers, let The Plant Gallery do your wedding!

quet had gorgeous dark blue orchids, while mini calla lillies, orange pincushion protea and white fuji mums. My 3 bridesmaids carried bouquets of white fiji mums and dark blue orchids. We had pew decorations of white fuji mums tied with blue ribbon. The guys wore bouts made of white mini calla lillies and blue orchids. My flower girl had a ring of dark blue orchids in a headband around her head which was stunning. They topped off my cake with orange pincushions and blue orchids and gave the cake such pizzazz! They gave me a comp toss bouquet to match my bouquet too! Awesome flowers, awesome prices, great staff and easy to work with. Highly recommended!!!!!

ted the drawing board, Laurie made great suggestions for alternatives and substitutes. She knows her products, her availability, and she will go to lengths to make sure everything is perfect. I will continue to give The Plant Gallery my business and I recommend them highly!!

elry dripping off the trays -- Great Gatsby style. The Plant Gallery was to set the trays at various heights, bunch extra table cloths around, arrange the bottles and jewelry, and place loose white roses and mercury glass candles all around so it was really sparkly. None of that was done. They were supposed to create a welcome table that had a basket of customized tambourines for my Second Line parade, gold harmonicas in cigar boxes, customized handkerchiefs, a guest book and a tall ostrich plume arrangement. None of that was done. I had provided almost everything for these tables complete with pictures and a stop by the vendor to let them see/have it in advance yet it was just tossed on the tables like it was a garage sale. I provided pictures of the exact boutineers that I wanted, with a single white (for groom) and brown striped (for groomsmen) feather in each. My groom ended up with something that looked closed to a tattered muppet - not a single feather, but some puff that looked like it may have been off of a feather boa. We had a unity candle at the wedding. My groom and I are both 6 feet tall and our unity candle was so much taller than us that even while standing on tip toes and reaching above our heads we were never really sure if we got it lit. How was the height of the thing never taken into consideration? Surely this isn't the first unity candle that they have ever. We were married in a courtyard and asked for a runner down the aisle just for the ceremony. I checked with The Plant Gallery a couple of times to verify that they had gone to the venue, measured for the appropriate amount of runner, and determined how to secure it. I was told that they had and was billed for it. When I went to the venue two days out I was told that they never met with anybody from The Plant Gallery. Then my groom tells me that while he was at the venue the hour right before the wedding, Eva, the Floral Manager, comes up to him and tells him that they "have a crisis" with the runner. Really? I'm sure that's what he wants to be thinking about right before he gets married. Apparently they haven't thought about how to secure it and never considered laying plastic or anything over it before I walk down so they're now concerned that guests are going to make it really dirty. It would have been awesome if they took any of this into consideration in the days prior to the wedding. As it turns out, they held it down with some randomly scattered candles and statues that I had provided for my tables. There wasn’t enough room to walk down the runner so half of the wedding party stepped on the candles and crushed them on their walk down. I contacted both Eva(Floral Manager)and Richard(Operations Manager) and asked for a refund on the items that were not delivered. I got a page-long email back that detailed things they did not charge me for, why the venue and I were responsible for their mistakes, and how we got more than our money’s worth. I know that I personally spent hours, weeks, and months working on my favor table, welcome table and more and in the blink of an eye The Plant Gallery undid all of my hard work without feeling any responsibility in doing so.

ure that the photographer took pictures of every one of them, I never want to forget it. Thank you!

f my plant rentals, candles, table covers, AND gorgeous flowers from the same place and didn't have to worry about running around everywhere. The Plant Gallery is truly an untouched resource in the wedding industry in New Orleans. I will be sending all of my unmarried bridesmaids there!

and I did not have to worry about them when my wedding arrived. That day is so overwhelming to begin with it was nice to not have to worry about the flowers. They were beautiful in the pictures and I was constantly getting compliments on my selections. I owe it all to The Plant Gallery.
