Our only daughter became engaged on New Year's Eve, 2016, at the point of midnight.
Once that was shared, a date was set, and the planning had to start right away because there was only 10 months to work with before the October 22nd wedding da...te. Even more challenging, it was going to be a destination wedding in New Orleans, Louisiana! "Let the good times roll!"
I was so excited and fell graciously into the role of wedding planner and coordinator, with my daughter and husband whole heartedly supporting my efforts.
When it came to finding the right florist, I contacted many, talked with several, and landed on Thibodeaux's Floral Studios.
I was impressed with the website and their 5 Star Rating!
It was a pleasure to talk with Paul Norman, the owner, who introduced me to Stefania, the lead designer.
From the beginning, working with Stefania was like talking with a good friend. I knew the look I wanted to achieve for our daughter's wedding and shared my vision with Stefania.
She was always very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. She offered suggestions, examples, and advice. I especially appreciated her patience and willingness to make our wedding florals a reality within our budget and she assured me they would be beautiful!
Time flew by quickly, and on the wedding day Stefania and Paul delivered the most beautiful bridal party bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres to our hotel.
They were both so nice and considerate, making the delivery early to assure everything went smoothly.
When we arrived at the venue, Southern Oaks Plantation, the ceremony and reception flowers were absolutely beautiful!
The huge golden urns outside were gorgeous, the foyer arrangement was simply breathtaking, the bride and groom's sweetheart table arrangement was stunning, and the dining table arrangements were very elegant! We loved them all! They exceeded our expectations!
You guys are truly masters of your craft and great floral artists! You're the best!
Thank you Paul and Stefania for helping to make our bride and groom's wedding a beautiful and memorable fairytale and dream come true!
