Laura at Laurel Hill is phenomenal to work with. She totally got my vision for bouquets (nothing fussy, cream base with soft pinks and yellows, no greenery), and didn't bat an eye when I told her I wanted them to double as table centerpieces. I can't name flowers to save my life, but she was able to translate my crazy mumblings ("you know, like those tall stalk ones with pink buds going up them? kind of floppy petals?") and pinterest board into beautiful decor that was perfect for my chill outdoor ceremony. If you're getting married in greater Boston, count on Laura to nail it for you (and keep your costs reasonable)!

Laura did an incredible job with the florals and centerpieces at my wedding. I had a bridal bouquet, 7 bridesmaid bouquets, 11 boutonnieres, 5 corsages, 27 centerpieces, and a few additional decorative arrangements in addition to florals on our wedding cake. Every single piece was perfect - as if she spent hours organizing each and every flower in the perfect direction and pattern. The volume had no effect on her quality of work. The biggest compliment I received is three fellow soon-to-be brides ask me for my florist’s contact information to use for their weddings! The bouquets were amazing – more beautiful than anything I had pinned to my wedding board on Pinterest – a board that Laura spent hours going through with me to get a feel for what I was planning and the overall look/ theme of my wedding. She had great suggestions that not only saved on cost, but were the perfect touch. She even accommodated a couple of last minute requests with regards to our sweetheart table and florals on our wedding cake. Laura’s experience and knowledge are really an asset when brainstorming and budgeting. Laurel Hill Floral Design was the perfect finishing touch to my wedding and I highly recommend the talented and professional Laura!

To say Laura exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. I need to give a little background though. Some women have always known they wanted their wedding decked out with blue hydrangeas and white calla lilies. I am not one of those women. I'm clueless about flowers, but I was also very flexible. However, our budget was modest by Boston standards. We were hoping to spend around $2,000-$2,300 for a ceremony and reception with about 100 people.

The two florists I contacted before meeting Laura were... well, unhelpful. The first responded to my request for a quote with a terse call warning me that she didn't take any jobs under $5,000. Right. So, the second was super nice and patiently listened to my ideas, and then leveled with me: Our budget would only get us a bridal bouquet and tiny centerpieces, don't expect anything to look like Pinterest, and she would be unable to accommodate most of our colors (jewel tones) due to seasonal availability.

A friend recommended Laura, who blew me away from the start -- beginning with the fact that she was willing to drive to Quincy to make the meeting more convenient for me. Laura had absolutely no problem working within our budget, she was ridiculously responsive and flexible, and the results were BREATHTAKING. She found creative ways to work in some of those "difficult" colors like gold and teal. I was speechless when she delivered the bouquets as I was getting ready with my bridesmaids. They looked way more awesome than the so-called "unrealistic" Pinterest pins. And honestly, I swear more guests took photos of our flowers and centerpieces than of my husband and me.. lol. Nothing about this looked like a "budget" job, and I felt we got way more than our money's worth.

Laura is a highly talented and professional florist who goes above and beyond. Please don't hesitate to book her!
