Laurie and her team were truly so so amazing to work with! I had only a few inspiration pictures but besides that didn’t really have a set ‘vision,’ but she really helped me orchestrate one and bring it all to life.. From our very first meeting she helped with absolutely everything design wise and walked through all the different types of options for types of flowers, suggestions on where things should go in my venue, and so much more! A week leading up to the wedding I decided I wanted to add flowers to our welcome mirror and seating chart and she was able to add on/handle with no problems- which just showed how responsive and patient her team are!. The end result was absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t have been happier! Cannot recommend enough!!!!! -

Laurie completely made my dreams come true with the florals she created!! I was going for a different look with my flowers than most people do so it was very hard to find inspiration pictures of what I wanted. Laurie drew sketches, pulled inspiration of her own and totally knocked it out of the park. From the staircase, ceremony arch, escort table arrangement and reception arrangements everything was done to perfection! She even stayed with her team until after the ceremony to move the arch into the reception area. Pictures don’t do her work justice, everyone was blown away by the stunning flowers. I cannot recommend Laurie enough!! -

Thank You Laurelwood Designs!
We are so happy with our decision to work with Laurie and her team for our wedding! From the very first meeting, we connected right away and she understood my vision exactly. She is so easy to work with and is so kind! Even weeks leading up to the wedding I wanted to add in an additional colored flower and she had them ordered quickly and without any issue. In addition, both Laurie and her team were extremely easy to work with and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Seeing how she was able to seamlessly put everything together on the day of the wedding was incredible. She took my vision and exceeded our expectations. We were so unbelievably happy and so grateful that we trusted in Laurie for our special day- she certainly did not disappoint! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Thank you Laurie and team!!Laurelwood Designs's reply:
Thank you, Emily! It was truly a pleasure working with you and I am so glad you were happy! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this review and saying such nice things about your experience.

Laurie was incredible! From our first call I could tell we would work well together. Her proposal was by far the most cost effective of all of the florist proposals I recieved, and friends who had previously worked with her raved about how she really gives you your money’s worth. I was not disappointed! I knew her standard client had a more traditional vision than I did, but she eagerly jumped in to planning colorful, wild and unique florals for my wedding. When the sample wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, Laurie was happy to amend the designs with new colors and types of flowers, and the florals at the wedding were perfect! My bouquet was ENORMOUS and gorgeous, and the chuppah, centerpieces and venue decorations were exactly what I pictured. She also reused the flowers from the chuppah and built a sweetheart table installation at no additional cost. I was thrilled to work with her and would absolutely recommend her! -

We wanted a timeless, classic, chic aesthetic for our wedding, and Laurie of Laurelwood Designs hit it out of the park. She worked with us at every stage of the process (very patiently, I might add!) while we went back and forth on various ideas and concepts, and gave great guidance and ideas until our vision came to life.
Not only did everything turn out absolutely gorgeous and beyond my wildest expectations, but she also gave consistently smart and thoughtful recommendations that enhanced the experience. For example, she had the brilliant idea of using my reception centerpieces to line the aisle so I wouldn’t have to pay for both aisle decor AND centerpieces. The arch flowers were then repurposed for our sweetheart table.
In addition to creating all of our floral arrangements, she handled every aspect of my ceremony decor, including coordinating the staging (which she covered in white fabric), the pipe & drape, the arch and aisle runner. Standing on that platform during our vows -- with the lighting and white backdrop — seriously felt like we were in a cloud or a dream.
Laurie is an absolute master at what she does. When you hire her, you are not just hiring someone to sell you flowers, but -- more importantly -- an expert who will guide you every step of the way towards the gorgeous wedding of your dreams. Hiring Laurie will be the best investment you will make for your wedding.

Laurie was so amazing to work with! We met with Laurie back in 2019 and felt so comfortable with her. My husband and I knew she would do an incredible job since we have seen her unique work multiple times at our venue! Laurie is so passionate about her job which made it so easy to tell her what our vision was for our wedding day. As our day quickly approached, she made our dream a reality. From the gorgeous centerpieces to my beautiful boutique, I was so in love with all of her creations! I highly recommend Laurie and her wonderful team, she will make all of your floral wedding dreams come to life! -

Knowledgeable florist and great team
Laurie and team were great to work with. I booked Laurelwood because her daughter was married at my venue and she knew the space well. Laurie is an expert and can recommend what you need/don’t need. The flowers were exactly what I was looking for and were so beautifully put together. Don't hesitate to book Laurelwood! -

Laurelwood knocked my wedding out of the park. I was able to show just a few photos to Laurie and she made my vision (and even what i didnt think about) come together perfectly. Not only did they cone through with the vision but they even moved my ceremony site detail to my sweetheart table afterwards which my maitre d even admitted he wouldnt have done justice to the decoration like they did. I highly recommend and wish i had more events to hire them for! -

I can’t say enough good things about Laurie & her team. She was always responsive, professional & budget friendly every step of the way.
I met with Laurie at my initial appointment to go over everything and a few months before our wedding we changed venues which meant tons of changes to what I originally had planned. Laurie made these changes so easy and stress free which is what every bride needs while wedding planning LOL. Laurie was super flexible & helped me come up with new ideas to create what I was looking for at the new venue.
During the whole process she always suggested ideas to repurpose arrangements from the ceremony to the reception so that I could keep costs down. I remember telling her the littlest things about what I was looking for and she just got me and my vision right away! You can tell she’s a professional and just GETS IT!
The day of her & her team literally set up everything so perfectly I cried happy tears when I saw the ballroom and ceremony space for the first time.
Overall, amazing experience & I would recommend her over and over! -

Stunning florals
Laurie & Laurelwood were great to work with. We didn't have a super specific vision of what we wanted, but they were able to help us along and create exactly what we didn't know we wanted! We did a floral arch as well as bouquets, low centerpieces, corsages and boutonnieres and all of them were gorgeous. We got oohs & ahhs and so many compliments on the flowers! Laurie also provided fresh flowers to decorate our cake which looked perfect! We would highly recommend Laurelwood!Laurelwood Designs's reply:
Thanks Sophia! Everything look stunning and you had a beautiful day! I'm so glad you were happy with your bouquets, centerpieces arch and cake! -

Laurelwood Designs was excellent! When we had our initial consultation, Laurie was thorough and made sure she really understood our vision. She took the time to review past florals she had done and identify what we did and did not like for our aesthetic. Laurie was honest about what we really “needed” for our venue space and did not try to upsell us or suggest any unnecessary extras. We really appreciated her genuine business approach. Laurie provided us with a full centerpiece sample that allowed us to really see the vision come to life before the wedding day. Laurie was wonderful when we needed to reschedule twice due to COVID. She made me a beautiful bouquet for our August 2020 small ceremony, so I of course had high hopes for our August 2021 reception florals. When I say the flowers were exactly what I envisioned I am being sincere. The centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres were beautiful, but my absolute favorite thing was the ceremony and sweetheart table floral garland. It was full and truly completed the aesthetic. Laurie and her team made our vision come to life! -

Amanda M. Sent on 10/27/2020Incredible to work with, and gorgeous florals!
Laurie and Nicole are such a delight! They've been incredibly helpful throughout all of this. We postponed our reception to 2021 and planned a micro wedding on our original date this summer. The process was smooth sailing, not to mention our flowers! I couldn't sing their praises enough. My bouquet was absolutely stunning. I had it preserved so I can keep it with me forever! I had a general vision and trusted Laurie to run with it. I'm glad I did, because her work is 100x better than anything I could have imagined! We knew we were in good hands from the start. So looking forward to working with Laurelwood again next summer!Laurelwood Designs's reply:
Thanks Amanda for your kind words! It was so nice working with you and your Mom. I'm looking forward to next year! -

Laurie made my wedding day dreams come true!
Planning a wedding during the pandemic was anything but fun and enjoyable. But working with Laurie was a dream! Her responsiveness and vision was everything I pictured working with a vendor would be. When I walked into our ballroom and ceremony space the day of, I was blown away to tears. It was beyond my wildest dreams. From my cake, sweetheart table, staircase, fireplace, bouquets everything was perfect. I’m so beyond happy Laurie was free the day of our wedding as I couldn’t picture it looking any other way. Laurie and her team are true professionals!!! -

Laurie is the best of the best and I am so glad that I hired her as my florist! The flowers were stunning, and made an absolutely beautiful venue even more beautiful. We received so many compliments on ALL of the flowers. She was so responsive during the wedding planning process and helped make it easier for me. She was so reasonable and gave me tips and tricks when we put together my contract that I appreciated so much! The flowers were beautiful (and smelled so good!!). I would love to work with Laurie and her team again. -

Laurie is not only a florist, she is warm, honest and completely a true artist. We had a very firm vision for our design and flowers, she transformed it into something beyond our dreams while still helping us completely switch seasons from spring to fall. She never changed our vision she just supported us each step of the way and encouraged us to pick what we love. She treated us both like family, supported us though every hurdle and every change due to the venue, the change to a tent, and then the change back to an indoor outdoor ballroom two weeks prior. She created a wedding that was pure magic with not one flaw. Hand designed by us both and hand done completely by her and her amazing staff. If you have the honor to work with her your beyond blessed. Laurie is true perfection!Laurelwood Designs's reply:
Thank you Amanda and Gaston! Thank you for the compliments. I am so glad I was able to take the journey with you and make everything perfect for you! -

There are no words to describe how beyond thrilled we were to work with Laurelwood designs for my daughters wedding last Saturday! Throughout the ever changing event, Laurie was not only a calming force but such an unbelievable person to deal with. She is so talented and the decor was absolutely stunning! She completely understood exactly what my daughter wanted from the very first meeting and exceeded our expectations! Recommendation is an understatement. 100 stars!Laurelwood Designs's reply:

Best Florist!!
SO happy I decided to hire Laurelwood Designs as my florist for my wedding on 10/4/20. Due to the pandemic, I had to change my wedding plans multiple times and Laurie and her team were always very responsive and always assisted me. I emailed Laurie MANY times and she was ALWAYS responded and helped my vision come to life. Flowers are really necessary to create a beautiful atmosphere and Laurie did just that! The florals were SO beautiful. My entire family was so impressed by our floral arrangements. I couldn't have picked a better florist. Thank you Laurelwood Designs!! We will definitely use them in the future again.Laurelwood Designs's reply:
Thank you Lauren! It was a pleasure working with you! I'm glad you loved everything! Can't wait to see the photos! -

Stephanie D. Sent on 06/19/2022Truly spectacular!
It’s rare to find someone who you already know is truly amazing and have them beat your expectations. Laurie and her team are absolutely incredible - from day one, they were accommodating, responsive, professional and a down right delight to work with.
When COVID halted my bridal shower two days before the event, and ultimately pushed our events a year back, she made a nervous bride feel at ease and managed the circumstances perfectly. Laurie even went as far as calling my church the day of my wedding to ensure they could relocate the leftover Easter flowers to ensure everything was perfectly placed.
I was truly blown away when I was handed my bouquet and walked into my reception. The team bailed every aspect of our vision and guests are still talking about it today!
Not only did Laurie perfectly execute my wedding day, we worked with her for my bridal shower and rehearsal, my brothers engagement party and rehearsal dinner, and I know she’ll play a special part in all our important life events in the future.
I cannot recommend Laurelwood enough - they’re truly spectacular. -

Our minimony
Laurelwood Designs team is the absolute best! We are working with them for our big wedding ceremony next year and they were able to pull together a quick minimony for us as well this year! They even delivered our flowers to different locations so that my husband and I wouldn’t see each other that morning. Can’t say enough good things about Laurie and the team- we can’t wait to do it again next year even bigger! Highly recommend! -
