Verbena was AMAZING for my wedding!! They helped me figure out my floral vision and executed it to perfection. Addie and her team were incredible to work with and they helped us stick to our budget without cutting corners. I would HIGHLY recommend using them for any event or wedding!
Verbena did an amazing job bringing our vision for a winter wedding to life. Everything turned out beautifully, and they were very communicative and made the process easy and were responsive to our budget concerns.
Addie was one of my favorite vendors to work with from my December 2023 wedding. She was responsive, attentive, revised our floral/rental proposal multiple times with my last minute ideas/additions, AND had reasonable prices and no set minimums (which was almost impossible to find in the current wedding market in Austin). We had almost given up and decided to attempt florals on our own, but we are so glad we found Verbena!!
The florals and candle rentals on the day were beautiful. I never had to worry about any details being missed. (And my bouquet still looks almost perfect after a week!)
Would recommend Addie and her team! 10/10!
Addie and her staff did an excellent job with the florals for our recent anniversary party! She really helped bring my vision of incorporating tropical greens and whites to life. Additionally, Addie was very communicative and responsive to our several last minutes adjustments and changes! Highly recommend Verbena Floral Design!
Addie did a fantastic job in both designing and setting up the floral arrangements! We were planning on having the ceremony outside, but due to rain we had to go to plan B and have the ceremony inside. Addie was very accommodating and helped make the venue look just as we were hoping for. Would definitely go back to Verbena if we need any floral arrangements in the future!
We loved working with Verbena, Addie and her team were amazing! We changed our floral vision a couple times and the team worked within our budget to help make our vision come to life. Our florals were simple and elegant and complemented our black and white color scheme perfectly. I had a piece of my mom's dress added to my bouquet as well to tie it altogether.
Thanks Verbena!
I loved working with Verbena! I am not a design person, so I loved working with Addie - she was able to take my bad ideas and turn them into a beautiful floral design! She had great floral recommendations and had a ton of rentals available for center pieces.
Verbena did an amazing job with our florals!! She completely captured the “vibe” we wanted and looking through pictures I just fall in love with the florals all over again. In addition to the florals, the table decor and candles were perfect. She was able to accommodate us with fake flowers for the mother of the bride due to allergies and you couldn’t even tell. Her insight helped us make the best decisions for our space and wants. I definitely recommend them!!
There aren't enough words to express how amazing it was to work with Addie and the Verbena team for my wedding. They came highly recommended to me from my venue, and I see why! Addie is extremely kind, helpful and professional. From our first conversation I felt completely at peace with moving forward with Verbena as my florist for my wedding. Addie helped me make decisions that would allow me to have show-stopping floral displays that could be repurposed from ceremony to reception seamlessly. This allowed us to have beautiful, large floral displays that worked within our budget. Verbena has a fantastic inventory of vases, candles and other misc. decor to fit a variety of styles. Addie was also willing to meet with me multiple times to perfect the vision for our decor. A few weeks before our wedding, Addie found out that a flower (bougainvillea) we had planned to have as a main focus in the arrangements was not available due to a shorter growing season. Addie used bougainvillea from her own backyard (and some from my parent's yard too!) to make sure that we had at least some bougainvillea to incorporate for my bouquet and cake. I so greatly appreciate the generosity and willingness to pivot when unexpected events arose. I can't recommend Verbena enough, do yourself a favor and book them ASAP!
Addie has a beautiful touch! We are so happy we went with Verbena Floral for our big day! Addie was so good at creating gorgeous arrangements and designs based on our preferences and offered awesome suggestions for alternatives! She was so creative at coming up with ways we can make things in our vision work and keep us within the constraints of our budget. Lilac bridesmaids bouquets!!! IT WAS SO PRETTY! We had guests asking for our florist information and asking what flowers were included in the arrangements! Go with Addie and Verbena Floral!!! They are *chef's kiss*
From the beginning Addie was so easy to work with. We did not want a lot of florals at the wedding but it was really important to us for the ones we did have to be high quality and well put together. She did an amazing job of taking our inspiration pictures and making something based off of them that was still unique to us. My boquet and the floral arch were absolutely STUNNING and one of my favorite parts of our wedding day. An added bonus about verbena is that they don’t charge a minimum to work with them like many other floral companies we looked into. They also allowed us to make changes up until 2 weeks before the wedding. Would recommend to anyone with floral needs - no matter how small or large
Addie and her team were amazing for my wedding! As a bride who postponed, I can’t thank Verbena enough for the patience they showed. They were also great at giving suggestions and working with my budget. I was honestly shocked at everything they did, it was better than expected. I had sooo many compliments on my flors If I could give 10 stars I would.
We had a bit of a hard time nailing down our wedding date (mostly due to COVID) and plans fluctuated because of it and Addie was very patient and kind with us the whole way through. She did all of our bouquets and boutonnieres and they were perfect! She really translated our vision into the perfect arrangements and if anyone is looking for the perfect flowers for their wedding, they should quickly contact Addie!
I was blown over by the level of excellence delivered at my wedding. This company is the truth. When my wedding was cancelled due to CV-19, I could have never dreamed that a company like this would come together with other wedding vendors to bless me and my husband with such a beautiful dream wedding. But the did.. in a big way. My flowers were incredible. I’m eternally grateful.
Addie and the floral team at Verbena literally made all my wedding floral dreams come true! First off Addie was so sweet, pleasant, and easy to work with throughout the entire experience. She totally captured our floral vision and exceeded every expectation. At the last minute, I decided to do something kind of crazy and unique with our centerpieces, and Addie was so flexible and onboard without missing a step. I wish I could get married over and over again just to work with Addie - she was that amazing!! Thank you for everything, Addie!
So fun to work with and such a talented florist. I cannot recommend enough!
Owner is a true gem! After our 1st meeting in person I knew I wanted to work with Addie.
I gave her access to my Pinterest a few ideas and she used her talent to create a beautiful day. I love that she’s centrally located in Austin, near Central Market off 34th. Sweet soul and amazingly talented. Our florals were pure perfection.
At the recommendation of our wedding planner, Alicia Collins, we interviewed Verbena along with several other florists. Addie was the only florist who actually seemed to listen to what we envisioned and worked from there, giving us recommendations and suggestions to carry out our vision. She had no problem telling us if something would not work and proposing alternatives, but we never felt like she was just going to do what she always did or had done previously with another client. She never made us uncomfortable when we expressed limitations with our budget. She transitioned us through three different wedding plans and two seasons due to pandemic postponements without missing a beat. With the final smaller home wedding just before Christmas, she used bold colors that were not “Christmas-y” but that we could keep up through the holiday. She created a garden on the mantle above the fireplace that was absolutely magical and the backdrop for the ceremony – so beyond our expectations. She made us feel like friends throughout, not just clients. Highly recommend Verbena and Addie.

Addie and the team at Verbena were AMAZING! From the first time I reached out, right up until the day-of, she was so easy to work with! Despite having a very small order because our venue did not need florals, I was treated no differently than if I would have had an order that costs thousands of dollars. Our April 2020 wedding was unfortunately postponed due to COVID and Addie was quick to help, and she was right there for the reschedule without an issue. Even at our last check-in call, she was happy to make a few adjustments, and offered suggestions of where I could use the money towards, and it was all just perfect! We ordered a custom wreath for our dog to wear in the ceremony, and she was so meticulous on making sure it was perfect, right down to making notes not to squish his beautiful floof, or make it too long so he wouldn't step on it! My bouquet was being made from seashells, and shipped to me, and Addie was able to perfectly accent the bridesmaids bouquets to it without ever seeing it in person! Her attention to detail spoke volumes, and I would highly recommend Verbena over and over again!
Verbena made our wedding spectacular! Catya and Addie had great communication with us before our wedding day and handled everything the day of perfectly. We could not have asked for anything more. Thank you!
Addie and her team were a dream. My wedding florals looked beautiful! Addie was very patient and thorough with me since the first consultation. Addie had many suggestions to help create the look I was going for and was very genuine about expectations. She covered all bases. Addie worked with my budget to execute my vision. I am so happy with how my flowers came out and will recommend Verbena Floral to any friends any family in need of a florist.
Verbena was absolutely amazing to work with! They were able to capture the vision I had for my wedding day while still staying under the budget I had set. My most favorite thing was the arch! I can’t wait to see how our pictures turn out because all of the florals were exactly what I wanted.
We worked primarily with Addie and were very pleased with her responsiveness and the way things turned out. My only regret is that they weren’t able to place the flowers on my cake the way I pictured because my cake vendor was running late which isn’t Verbena’s fault. Definitely recommend Verbena for any floral needs!
Verbena Floral was fantastic to work with. Addie was very helpful in designing a floral arrangement that fit our style without a lot of guidance from us. The service on the day of the wedding was very professional, set up and cleanup were seamless and all the flowers looked lovely.
Thank you so much!
Addie was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our floral arrangements were beautiful and really added a sweet and elegant touch at our ceremony and reception. I would definitely recommend
Addie at Verbena Floral was absolutely amazing! She listened to everything I had to say, made helpful suggestions and always responded in a timely manor. On the day of the event, she was on time and extremely fast in setting everything up. Everyone at the wedding raved about the flowers and how amazing they looked. I would recommend her to anyone. Not only did the flowers look great, but she is provides fair pricing in a business that can often seem to overcharge. She is kind, thoughtful, professional, and extremely good at what she does, I could not have asked for a better florist for our wedding and I am so thankful that I found her.
Verbena did such an amazing job for our wedding. Addie was so easy to work with. We went into her shop a few months before the wedding then had a phone call with her a few weeks before. We exchanged emails for months and shared pictures of inspiration. She listened to everything we said and had additional suggestions and ideas. The flowers on our wedding day arrived on time and were exactly what we wanted.
Amazing flowers and amazing staff that helped make our day perfect!
Addie was amazing to work with! We started working with her before she bought the shop and everything was seamless. She helped us get the vision we wanted and stay within our budget. She listened to all my requests for my bouquet and center pieces and I was blown away by how everything turned out! I could not recommend her enough for your wedding flower needs!
I am so thankful I found Addie, the new owner of Verbena Floral Design. She is the sweetest florists I have ever met and super professional. We met through Instagram as I just happened to see one of the pictures from my wedding venue where she did some floral work. I fell in love with her personality and her ability to see my vision for our wedding day. My bouquet was beautiful, perfect, and elegant. Every single floral arrangement was perfect. She will do an amazing job because she loves what she does and she does it with passion.
Thank you Addie for giving me "rose" and making my wedding venue gorgeous with your beautiful floral design.

I used Verbena floral for my bridal bouquet and they did an AMAZING job! My bridal bouquet looked so beautiful and I got several compliments on how beautiful it looked!! I worked with Cindy and she was AMAZING!! I had a consultation with her and she was super sweet, attentive and made me feel comfortable. She was very responsive via emails and she was very patient with me even when I was very back and forth in what I wanted. Cindy was very thorough and made sure she got all the details I wanted correct. I was very impressed with Verbena and I would definitely use them again!!
LuAnn and her team were such a pleasure to work with! I sat down with LuAnn multiple times to explain what I wanted. She reviewed all the Pinterest pictures I sent her and made sure the vision I had was replicated perfectly. I can’t say enough nice things about working with her. You won’t regret choosing Verbena for your big day!
LuAnn and her team did an amazing job for our wedding flowers! Our meetings with LuAnn felt relaxed and enjoyable, which took away the stress of that part of the wedding process. She was able to create such beautiful arrangements just from brainstorming about our color preferences. I loved the flowers so much that I didn't want to leave them behind when going on our honeymoon! LuAnn helped me stay within my budget and was so flexible every step of the way. What a great team. If you are getting married in Austin, Tx, pick Verbena Floral Design!
All I can say is wow! The flowers at our wedding were just beautiful! LuAnn was such a joy to work with and really captured my vision perfectly! She truly helped to create a winter feel for my wedding! It was perfect!
Words can not describe how perfect and beautiful the flowers were at my wedding! LuAnn and her team knocked it out of the park. I had a destination wedding in Austin, TX and I had to plan it all from overseas. That being said, LuAnn was beyond accessible, and accommodating. She really worked with me to make my floral dreams come true. Let me just tell you that my flowers were perfect, they were show stoppers. I received so many compliments from my guests, her flowers really tied my whole wedding vision together. Also, one thing that I really appreciated is that LuAnn was able to donate my flowers to a local hospital after the wedding, which allowed more than just our guests to enjoy their beauty. She was also able to get me a particularly hard to get South African flower in its off season at a great cost, and they were absoluelty stunning! I had the best experience working with Verbena Floral Design and I would recommend them to anyone getting married in the Austin area. Thank you LuAnn and your incredible team for helping make my wedding dreams come to life!!
Wow!!! We were so completely amazed by the beautiful creations from LuAnn and her team. Verbena did the florals for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding. She did an amazing job repurposing flowers between the two events, and every arrangement was stunning. We went with a fall theme and everything looked more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Plus, LuAnn was incredibly responsive, shared her vision extremely clearly, and communicated so well with us throughout the process. Thank you Verbena!!
I really cannot recommend LuAnn and her team enough! The flowers were lush and stunning and, even though we had to make some last minute hurricane adjustments, they were communicative and collaborative and made the ENTIRE process completely seamless. They even brought the flowers up to the bridal suite to make sure I liked them! I'd been to a couple other florists during the initial process and, once I met LuAnn, it was a done deal! She's also really understanding when one, or two, vases accidentally get left at the venue. :)
My flowers were gorgeous!!! I told them the colors I wanted and they picked the flowers to match. They are the experts after all. They were so easy to communicate with when booking and any changes I made along the way. Highly recommend for your flower wedding needs.
Where do I begin- LuAnn and the Verbena team were absolutely fantastic during the process of my engagement in a lot of different ways. I met LuAnn at the beginning of my wedding process and she ended up being my most trusted vendor and advisor by the end of it!! LuAnn would walk me through things throughout the process and go above and Beyond with my church and the coordination of flowers within it-- which we all know can be a HUGE hassle and headache (especially if you're catholic! :))-- But LuAnn had it completely handled, she was so calm cool and collected and coordinated everything for me without any hint of stress or complication!! I cannot explain to you how helpful she was from a number of different standpoints throughout the process. She truly has a gift!!! I would recommend her and Verbena far and wide above any other Floral company in Austin or anywhere. Absolutely worth every penny we spent!
LuAnn was so wonderful to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process. My husband and I live in Dallas and weren't originally able to make it in person for a consultation. LuAnn and I spoke on the phone and then I was able to meet with her in person a few months before the wedding. We looked over photos together of various weddings and she was able to take my scattered thoughts and turn them into the most beautiful wedding I could have ever imagined. The bridal party bouquets were stunning and LuAnn worked within our budget to create the most beautiful centerpieces.
On the day of our wedding we had to quickly change directions and move our ceremony inside because of incoming thunderstorms. She worked with the other vendors and quickly redesigned our ceremony flowers. Everything looked so amazing and despite the change in plans, our pictures turned out beautifully because of her floral designs.
I loved working with LuAnn and am so thankful I found her! You can tell that she loves what she does and is passionate about helping brides have the wedding of their dreams.
I came to LuAnn with a vision of bright and textured bridal and bridesmaids bouquets that would be re-purposed along with lots of greenery and votives as centerpieces for the tables at the reception. I could not be more in love with the bouquets and everything she put together. It was absolutely PERFECT. LuAnn was a treasure to work with and I will go to her for any and all floral needs in the future.
LuAnn and everyone at Verbena completely knocked it out of the park. From day one they were so sweet and helpful in shaping our vision. I stumbled through bits and pieces of what we thought we wanted and LuAnn somehow was able to translate that into something that made perfect sense! Even as we tweaked things along the way, she kept it easy and stress free. The end result was more than we could possibly have hoped for. The wedding was GORGEOUS thanks in huge part to Verbena! We were absolutely blown away by what they were able to accomplish (within budget!) and could not have asked for more!
LuAnn and the team at Verbena were FANTASTIC to work with and everything turned out better than I could've imagined. We went in not really knowing what we wanted and LuAnn was able to help us figure out the perfect floral look AND stay well within our budget. We are so so happy with how everything turned out and would use Verbena again, no question.
I was blown away by how gorgeous my wedding flowers were, and every detail put in place by LuAnn and the team at Verbena Floral Design. We sat down to talk design ideas early in the process, and seeing the end result was truly magical. I literally cried when I saw my beyond beautiful bouquets, center pieces, and all of the other small touches that completed my vision of how I wanted my wedding day to look. LuAnn is an accomplished professional who took great care to make sure my wedding day was gorgeous, romantic and unforgettable.
It was a delight working with Verbena Floral Design for our wedding day! My now wife, Janel, and I were planning a wedding in Austin for October 2016 living in Houston, and we visited Austin in March 2016 to visit 7 potential floral vendors. Throughout our day, my wife and I had no idea what we were doing, what flowers we liked, what types of flowers even existed on our planet, what season flowers were best shipped, etc. etc. etc. We were just having fun being completely lost together, and at the same time had no way knowing how to decide on our vendor. It was our very last stop at Verbena that sealed the deal when we met LuAnn. We were seated at a table decorated solely with previous couples’ Thank You cards, and I remember being a useless groom reading each individual one while my bride was answering a questionnaire with LuAnn during our consultation. For me, reading how great LuAnn and her team executed each couple’s wedding day and the appreciation they had for Verbena really made me feel like they cared about making the wedding day perfect for each individual couple. It was this personal touch that made our final decision easy. LuAnn and her team made us feel like royalty, like they were just focusing on our individual needs for our wedding, and really cared about making our wedding beautiful beyond our expectations. It felt like it wasn’t business for them but rather a true passion to make this one day perfect for us. I can’t stress how easy it was working with them. Communication was superb since we were planning a wedding in a different city, and LuAnn really planned EVERY individual floral detail and décor perfectly within our budget. I cannot express how thankful we are for Verbena for transforming our venue (Pavilion at Omni Barton Creek) into a dreamlike fairytale. It was perfect. We are still having withdrawals, and we truly miss communicating with LuAnn and her team regularly. We highly recommend Verbena Floral Design to be your floral vendor!!! We are forever Verbena fans and are now avid followers on Instagram!
We used Verbena for our wedding in November at Hotel Ella, and they were amazing to work with! LuAnn was so organized and helpful throughout the whole process. I had some ideas of what I wanted and some things I needed direction or guidance on, and she was excellent at adapting to what I needed. I have heard stories from friends about how florists can try to push you in a direction they want and don't always listen to your needs or wishes, but LuAnn didn't do that in any sense. During the planning process, my mother and I had a lot of changes, questions, and comments and we emailed LuAnn constantly, and the whole time she was so friendly and responsive. I will absolutely recommend her to all of my friends for their wedding!
LuAnn and Cindy at Verbena are seriously rock stars! As an out-of-state bride, I knew I had to pick a solid vendor with experience and professionalism. Verbena was everything and MORE! We had 2-3 phone conversations and went back and forth via email often. Very quick to respond and flexible with any floral design changes. I also felt from my own experience (and recommendations from other friends/vendors) that they were the best bang for my buck. LuAnn was always honest regarding pricing and willing to work with my budget. Also important to mention is that I am a very laid-back person and have little knowledge regarding anything floral related. I felt confident in trusting Verbena to make magical designs and I was NOT disappointed. From our ceremony set-up to all the bouquets, everything was perfect! We received so many compliments on their work. I highly recommend Verbena & team (they are the sweetest)!!!
The team at Verbena Floral Design were phenomenal partners. I always knew that selecting flowers were going to be one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process, and as a result, I knew that finding the right florist was going to be one of my more important decisions. Having been to plenty of weddings leading up to my own, I had already created a short list of shops that I knew I wanted to investigate further. But I have to admit, as soon as I walked into Verbena’s lovely shop I knew that they were the florist for me.
LuAnn and Cindy were not only welcoming but incredibly collaborative and supportive. As soon as my mom and I had our first meeting with them, we felt as though we had been friends with them for years. They intently listened to what I envisioned for my wedding day and took detailed notes. They also provided photos from previous events they had designed and offered many useful suggestions based on their own experiences. It took them no time at all to turn around a proposal that was not only comprehensive but fairly priced. In addition, they were respectful of our budget throughout the entire process, and never seemed burdened or annoyed by scope changes.
Fast forward to wedding day – team Verbena was simply flawless. I cried happy tears when they brought me my gorgeous bridal bouquet, where they had incorporated a very special tribute to a cousin who had recently passed away. Every flower arrangement, bridesmaid’s bouquet, and decorative detail was pure perfection.
I truly cannot thank them enough or give them a higher recommendation. Cindy, LuAnn, and their passionate team made my wedding day exceptional. I hope that I have the opportunity to work with them for another event in the future.
Choosing a floral designer was easy once we met LuAnn and her team at Verbena Floral Design. LuAnn listened intently while making very detailed notes. She is so knowledgeable, and it is evident she loves what she does! LuAnn offered several suggestions of floral choices and designs that resulted in beautiful work.
On our daughter's wedding day, the flowers arrived and were absolutely stunning! From the bridal bouquet to the table arrangements, LuAnn and her team left no detail undone. They worked tirelessly at the venue site to ensure everything was perfect.
There are many designers to choose from in the Austin area but if you want the best, be assured Verbena Floral Design is above the rest. Thank you, LuAnn and your team, for your support, expertise and smiles. It was amazing!
Let me just start off by saying that Verbena was probably one of the most involved and genuinely interested in the wedding of all the vendors I worked with. LuAnn was amazing to say the least. She went to my Pinterest board and asked me questions of what I wanted my wedding to look like. Let me tell you, I was not easy to work with, I must have made a million changes to my flower proposal, but LuAnn was so accommodating through it all. I had a winter wedding so I wanted to ensure all centerpieces and bouquets were structured with no greenery whatsoever. I thought this would raise the price significantly. While it did raise the price, it was still fair. I received multiple quotes when planning for the wedding and Verbena was the only vendor that did not over quote me. On top of that, my flowers were GORGEOUS. I can't even begin to describe how many compliments I got on my bouquet, my centerpieces and the altar. I think the most significant thing about working with LuAnn is her genuine interest in the brides she works with. She came to find me on the day of my wedding to congratulate me and continued to find me through the night to make sure everything was okay. Not only that, but now, every time I need an arrangement, I only go through Verbena. My husband has had our wedding arrangements replicated to surprise me at work and they are gorgeous every time. I always make sure that LuAnn knows that I called. She is genuinely invested in her clients and will ensure they receive everything they want for their big day. Amazing experience working with Verbena!
Verbena Floral Design was honestly my FAVORITE vendor of everyone that I worked with for my wedding!! LuAnn is the absolute sweetest and most talented florist. During the planning process she was phenomenal--I'm not very knowledgeable about different types of flowers but I would tell her that I wanted fluffy flowers or bright flowers and she would give me the names of flowers fitting my description that would be in season and would be durable enough to last throughout the day. Her attention to detail and quick communication made the whole planning process so easy. Vibrant purple orchids, roses, hydrangeas, and peonies were some of the beautiful flowers she included in her work. All of my bouquets and boutonnieres, pew arrangements, altar decor, and reception centerpieces were just breathtakingly beautiful. I got more compliments on my flowers than any other aspect of the wedding. Could not be happier with the end result!
Verbena was absolutely amazing and a pleasure to work with! Seriously, the nicest people! Cindy was so responsive and very flexible throughout the wedding planning process. I feel like I changed my floral proposal a million times before I finalized it and she was so patient with me the whole time.
I still remember seeing all the bridal party bouquets on the wedding day while we were getting ready at the church and I knew I made the right choice! They were exactly what I asked for and the center pieces were perfect. I definitely recommend Verbena Floral Design! :)
My bouquet was beautiful! Verbena incorporated all of my Pinterest images and made a really lovely bridal arrangement. Highly reccomend them.
I absolutely loved working with LuAnn! She listened to everything I wanted and offered her own suggestions. She provided mock centerpieces to choose from when I couldn't decide. She even called me to let me know when certain flowers were not up to par and asked if she could replace them. She set everything up at my wedding exactly as I wanted. It looked amazing! Everything turned out even better than I could have hoped!
LuAnn and her team were hands down my favorite vendors to work with from start to finish during the wedding planning process. She took my not-so-specific bouquet and centerpiece ideas and transformed them into gorgeous arrangements. Verbena was familiar with our wedding venues (St. Austin Church and The Fed) and knew what would work well with our color schemes in the spaces. LuAnn even called the church coordinator personally to follow up on what size vases the church already had available and confirm delivery times directly with St. Austin. When we walked into the ballroom after taking formal photos, the room took my breath away. Simply amazing.
Everyone we interacted with at Verbena was kind, genuine, and passionate about making our big day a success. They're a wonderful local business, and and I highly recommend Verbena to anyone looking for a wedding florist!
LuAnn and her team at Verbena were such a pleasure to work with. They offered creative (and beautiful) solutions to help us stay within and maximize our budget. At our venue, we had the ceremony and reception in the same room (with a cocktail hour/room flip in between). During the ceremony I was a bit preoccupied (understandably...), but I did notice the gorgeous floral arrangements at our altar. My groom and I had a sneak peek of the set up for the reception before our guests came back in, and I will never forget how gorgeous the room looked, and the flowers were a huge part of that. My bouquet was absolutely stunning and the bridesmaids' bouquets were exactly what I wanted, but somehow ended up even more beautiful than I pictured them to be.
I can't recommend Verbena highly enough. We also use Verbena for floral deliveries here in town (birthdays, special occasions, etc), and they have a lovely shop with cute gift-y items.
Thank you so very much for the incredible work you did on our wedding flowers. They were just so beautiful and perfect!!!! I LOVED our bouquets and the iron arch just looked incredible with the spray of flowers and greenery. Thank you thank you thank you for all your help! Truly amazing!!!!!
Verbena is AWESOME! They are so nice and easy to work with and the flowers were SO amazingly beautiful! I would HIGHLY recommend Verbena for any bride. They worked with me to stay within my budget while still making all of my wedding flowers absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you so much to the talented team at Verbena. They were accommodating of our budget and created gorgeous designs. They were always very responsive to my questions. I can't recommend them enough!
The flowers exceeded my expectations and were JUST what I wanted! Even working virtually since I was out of state, LuAnn and the team did a fantastic job understanding my needs and tastes and delivering beautiful arrangements with a smile!
We HIGHLY recommend Verbena Floral. Initially, we decided to only have personal flowers done by a florist and emailed a couple while planning from Houston. Neither responded so our day-of coordinator set up a meeting with someone else, but she couldn't come in within our budget. We were strongly considering DIY at that point, but wanted to talk to one more florist first so went to Austin Flower Co. during a weekend visit to Austin to investigate prices for DIY and asked them for a florist recommendation. Verbena was their recommendation and is around the corner so we walked over to say hello and pick up some info. That 5-minute drop-in was our only in-person meeting.
LuAnn was happy to do just the small amount we wanted (bridal bouquet, 3 small bridesmaid bouquets, 2 mom's corsages, and 7 boutonnieres). Working with LuAnn was a breath of fresh air in the wedding planning process! She came in under our $500 budget for personal flowers and after just two phone calls and some email exchanges in which she patiently answered all of my questions, made great suggestions and was just generally fun to talk to, the flowers were beautiful and *exactly* what I had envisioned!
We choose Verbena Floral Design for our March 22 wedding at Spicewood Vineyards and couldn't be happier. LuAnn was excellent to work with. From our initial planning meeting, we knew Verbena was going to be great. We came in not knowing much about flowers and only had a few loose ideas of what we wanted for our wedding. LuAnn was full of ideas and really helped pull our vision together and within our budget. On the day of, she and one of her staff members, delivered the flowers to the venue and stayed for several hours helping set-up and then, staying on stand-by in the event that rain might cause our ceremony to be moved indoors. Luckily it held. LuAnn is friendly, personable, and her attention to detail & focus on customer service is unmatched. We had flowers pretty low on our wedding priority list but after meeting with LuAnn, we were excited to see the end result. Verbena did not disappoint - everything was beautiful and it tied together with the venue perfectly. I would highly recommend Verbena to anyone.
Verbena was the first place we looked for Wedding Floral and no other shop could compare or beat the wonderful experience! Other Floral design shops simply asked what we wanted and at Verbena, the staff worked with me to create a design that fit our style. Verbena took all the stress out of the process and were wonderful to work with. We had several changes to our budget and guest count and as the big day approached. Verbena was able to adjust easily. We couldn't have asked for a better vendor to work with! I would highly recommend Verbena for any special occasion.
My (new) husband and I started planning our October 19, 2013 wedding over a year in advance. We had consultations with Donna from Central Market and LuAnn from Verbena on the same day, and immediately knew Verbena was the way to go. We were attracted to LuAnn's creativity, organization, and simply the way she put us at ease.
We live in the Washington, DC area so planning a wedding from 1500 miles away can quickly become hectic. LuAnn and the Verbena team were brilliant with their communication skills and responded rapidly with every single one of my requests or questions--something invaluable when planning a destination wedding.
We loved how she never pushed her own agenda, always checked in regarding updates, and truly made our flowers the way we wanted. When it came to the day-of, flowers were delivered right on time, if not early and they were absolutely stunning. I wanted a "green" bouquet and she executed my vision perfectly. More than a week after our wedding and my bouquet is still looking fabulous in its vase!
If you're looking for true talent and an extremely organized team, go with Verbena!
When planning our wedding, I met with a few different florists trying to get ideas and quotes. After meeting LuAnn at Verbena floral and noticing that I kept "liking" photos on Facebook that turned out to be their work, I honestly just went with my gut and chose Verbena. I am SO glad I did. LuAnn was truly wonderful to work with - even when I felt like I was being wishy-washy or too picky, she never flinched. She went back and forth with me on email a few times - sending me photos of ideas until I had it all figured out. She didn't mind working with me to get things within my budget either. And when only a month before my wedding date, I had to push out the entire wedding by 5 months- she was wonderful. She is a truly genuine and caring person. And all of our flowers were gorgeous! This lady knows what she is doing. I highly recommend LuAnn and Verbena Floral Design!
We had a wonderful experience with LuAnn and Cindy at Verbena Floral Design! During the months of planning, they were so helpful and specific when working on finalizing our floral design. I LOVE flowers, but I am not the most knowledgeable person about flower names - I just know what I like and what I don't like. Cindy and LuAnn had such good instincts and knew exactly what I wanted! I always felt confident in them and that they understood my vision. They also were really great about working with my budget. Our floral budget probably on the smaller size for our guest count - It definitely wasn't huge. They never made me feel uncomfortable about this or that my floral dreams couldn't be a reality because of our budget (As some other florists made us feel from our first meetings). When I arrived at our venue on our wedding day - I was blown away! The flowers were GORGEOUS, and it truly felt magical. Beyond the amazing floral designs, these ladies are just so so NICE. My coordinator ended up being a big disappointment - Among several things, the steamer she brought for my wedding dress didn't work. After "working" on it for 10 minutes, she gave up and left us upstairs to figure it out ourselves! It was really stressful, and upsetting because it set back our time schedule - I wasn't able to do any of the planned pictures in my dress with my bridesmaids and family before the wedding. LuAnn found out about the steamer, called her husband, and he dropped off their personal steamer so I could steam my dress! (My dress flew with me from Los Angeles to TX, so it was definitely a bit crinkled). I just couldn't get over how nice of a gesture that was, as it wasn't anywhere close to her responsibility as a florist. I would recommend Verbena to any and everyone! Not only are they talented and creative, they are so easy to work with and so kind-hearted. Thank you LuAnn and Cindy!!
LuAnn was a joy to work with. My mom had used her once before for my brother's rehearsal dinner, so we had already seen the amazing work she does. We dropped in on a Saturday (without an appointment) and she stopped what she was doing to chat with us. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted yet, but within 15 minutes she had put the perfect plan together.
She emailed the proposal to me the next business day, and even worked with me to meet my budget needs. She continued to check in with us and keep us posted on availability of flowers right up to the wedding week.
I knew I wanted yellow and white flowers- pretty, but happy looking! My bouquet was just stunning- very elegant, but still bright. And the table arrangements for the reception were perfection. The reception space didn't need a lot, but the arrangements provided just the pop of color and femininity that I wanted. Her team was also instrumental in helping set up a cake display table in a very short amount of time.
I really appreciated them going the extra mile, and felt like I got a great value out of her service!
LuAnn & Verbana were amazing to work with. The flowers were beautiful and LuAnn really saw my vision and made it come to life. She really wanted me to be happy and when a certain flower in our order came up short, she immediately contacted me with possible options which turned our great! I am so glad we used Verbena for our wedding flowers.
My wedding occurred last month, and one of the first things I had to do when I came back from my honeymoon was let other brides-to-be know how utterly pleased I am that I chose Verbena to do my wedding flowers. I'm an attorney, a little (sheepish smile) fanatical about the details, and I had a very specific vision. LuAnn made that vision come to life after patiently listening to me rattle on about Spanish lace and silver urns. I planned my wedding for over a year, and she was extremely responsive throughout, completely gracious as my guest count (and thus, centerpiece count) fluctuated - she dotted every "i", crossed every "t" right down to the way she delivered the flowers the morning of my wedding - I'll keep it a surprise, but suffice it to say, my photographer (also awesome) commented on Verbena's level of professionalism and detail. It's also worth noting that I loved the bouquet for my bridal portraits just as much as I loved my wedding-day bouquet (I've heard that there are places that give you a tiny, sad little version of your day-of bouquet...*so* not the case here) - truly outstanding service and flowers that made me happy-cry the day of my wedding.
I used Verbena Floral Design for my wedding - LuAnn was such a HUGE help. She really is great. I had no idea what I wanted when I went in there and she helped me come up with exactly what I did want.
The only think is that the bridesmaids bouquets were wrong. They were not supposed to have blue hydrangeas in them (only the brides bouquet was supposed to have those), and they were supposed to have soft orange ranunculus, which they didn't at all. They were also supposed to have antique green succulents, but instead there were these REALLY UGLY spiky things sticking out of it. That made me REALLY unhappy since I specifically told her how I didn't want anything else green in the bouquet besides succulents.
However, after looking at what she had written down, everything was right from her end. Somehow there was a miscommunication or something got changed. She did what was on the paper. My suggestion is to triple check everything.
The Brides Bouquet was perfect though, and the flowers were gorgeous.
My centerpieces were also beautiful.
Working with Verbena was ideal! LuAnn was on baord with my budget for bouquets and boutonnieres (for groomsmen, ushers, fathers, mothers and house party). I emailed her a few ideas and we started planning then found THE inspiration and we came up with our final plan. She kept in great communication, was there with a smile to deliver my flowers and made everything so perfectly! One of the most special parts was the memorial bouquet, that was made to match mine and honor my honorary (deceased) bridesmaid. All the details were perfect and I am so grateful!
The people at Verbena were wonderful to work with. They were very prompt, friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. They also did a great job matching our budget. I was very happy with the majority of our flowers, however, some of the flowers in the bouquets were a bit brown and the ushers boutonnières were orange rather than peach. The pictures still came out wonderful and overall they were a pleasure to work with.
Lu Ann is wonderful to work with! The flowers were gorgeous and JUST what I wanted. Could not have found anything better!
LuAnn was wonderful to work with. I described to her my vision and she created the perfect flowers for our wedding. She is quick to respond and very accommodating. The team at Verbena is extremely talented and professional.
Verbena did an incredible job with the flowers for our wedding. They were exactly what I was looking for, and a good value for the money. I highly recommend their services-- top notch.
LuAnn and her staff at Verbena did an outstanding job at my wedding! Leading up to the big day, they spent countless hours consulting with me by email and in person to ensure that every single detail was exactly to my liking, even making changes to the variety of yellow roses a week before the wedding to get it the exact shade I wanted. When the flowers arrived on my wedding day, they were breathtaking! From the lush bouquets and corsages, to the romantic church decorations, to the magnificent tall arrangements throughout the ballroom, everything was exactly as I'd envisioned, no, even better. LuAnn made my blue and yellow wedding theme come to life before my eyes. Thank you so much!
I had such a great experience working with LuAnn for my wedding flowers. We did all the planning over the phone and via email as I was planning my Austin wedding from afar. Even still, she was able to perfectly understand what I was going for. I could not have been more pleased with my bouquet! My mom texted me a picture of my bridal bouquet 7 days after my wedding... still going strong in a vase on her desk!
We also used Verbena to rent candles for the dinner tables in lieu of centerpieces. When I got a first peek at my reception space after my ceremony, I was completely blown away at how perfectly it worked. I had no idea how many candles per table we needed, but LuAnn nailed it!
Thank you for all the hard work and great customer service Verbena!
Verbena Floral Design did such a fantastic job on decorating my wedding. LuAnn was so pleasant and professional to work with. They were recommended to me by my caterer (Austin Catering) and I'm so glad that I went with them. I got so many compliments on how beautiful my wedding was. My wedding was at the AMOA-Laguna Gloria. The lanterns that they hung on the tree at the amphitheatre for the ceremony was so pretty. It made a big difference. The venue was already gorgeous by itself but LuAnn and her team just brought it to the next level. Their centerpieces was so pretty! Because of them my wedding was what I always dreamed of plus more.
beautiful flowers, affordable price and LuAnn the owner is absolutely great to work with. She is flexible and really listens to make sure you get everything you've asked for.
Verbena made my wedding flowers and vision come true!! LuAnn and her staff were delightful to work with. Everything was on time and had arrived at the church and venue by the time I got there. Perfect bouquets and beautiful centerpieces. Everything was too perfect and it turned out amazing!
LuAnn is a professional! She was very polite and on point with every detail and provided a break down of the flowers and cost. I would go with them for another event except I would work more closely on the flowers I would like if a substition was needed. The bridal portrait bouquette was PERFECT! The day of the wedding the women's corsages were spot on. The bridesmaids bouquette's were great but I wish I had hand picked the ribbon. I was disappointed that the men's boutineers were not at all what I wanted and my bouquette was just OKay.
Overall this is a great florist.
When I say exactly what I wanted, let me just clarify that I don't ever actually know what I want. So from the start Verbena had a tough job and they pulled it off! I worked with Luann and she was very responsive and sweet during the planning process. I had a lot of questions, a small budget, and changed my mind a lot (darn you Pinterest and all of your amazing ideas!). I literally had something in my head that I didn't feel like I was expressing that well so I felt like the decorations weren't going to make sense in the end. When we got to the venue for the wedding, every single detail was just as I imagined for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. My friends all spent the largest portion of their wedding budgets on flowers just because they didn't feel like they had a choice if they wanted quality work. Verbena can deliver amazing results with nearly any budget. I'll use them for any floral needs I have in the future for sure!
When I first started planning my wedding, I had no clue what flowers I liked or what looked good. Eventually I looked online and started deciding what I liked and didn't like. I sent some photos to Louann and said I wanted my centerpieces to look like the photos, and she made them exactly right and they were absolutely beautiful. For the rest of the flowers, I said some colors and flowers I liked and asked her to make some arrangements she designed. I was so delighted when I saw them on my wedding day. You can totally trust her to make creative and beautiful arrangements. I could not have been more thrilled with our flowers!
Verbena's creative and design sense is sublime. So many wedding guests said they had never seen such an incredible bouquet. As if that is not enough, their prices were fair and worth every penny, they were flexible and returned messages promptly, and in general were very easy to work with. Highly recommended!
