Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use La Flor Designs for your floral decor. Although the initial stages of working w/ Margie was great (she is very responsive to emails & will promise you everything you want...and the trial was amazing), I cried when the items appeared on my wedding day. I sent Margie pictures of EVERYTHING I wanted & she kept promising she would deliver & what threw me off was the fact that even the trial was great, but the day off, I did not receive ANYTHING that I had requested. Even my color scheme was thrown off when she pulled random colored flowers at my reception. My color scheme was eggplant & she put red roses on my sweetheart table (which is not what i requested at all), and my reception flowers were nothing (not even close in color) to the trial she showed me & the flowers I requested. On top of that, my bouquet was UGLY, and not at all anything that I dreamed of. My floral decor was the most important part of my wedding & I thought by using Margie, I would get everything I wanted, but instead I was left with nothing & an empty wallet. I tried contacting Margie the day after my wedding, and a couple of times after to talk to her, and she will not respond to my emails and my phone calls. It's suprising b/c I was in constant communication w/ her prior to the wedding & now, she won't answer any of my phone calls/emails. On top of that, Margie does not have any liability insurance (which is requested by my reception hall). I had no idea that she did not have it (b/c she works from her home; it's not a copyrighted business), and when I asked her for it, she told me that I had to pay for her liability insurance. I was shocked. Not something I needed to hear a week before the wedding. If I could re-do my wedding all over again, I would not use her at all. She was a complete waste of money & my dreams of an awesome & beautiful wedding were completely destroyed by this vendor.

Margie is EXTREMELY nice and very patient and a kind heart. However, with two things- she screwed up with on my wedding day- she did not deliver what i Paid her to do- I asked for specific items on my wedding day and after I received my pictures, I realized that it was not what I paid for. Even though she was a delight to work with, it was NOT what I paid her to do, which was a disappointment. One of the things was to have strings of petals down the aisle and she put two strings per aisle and then I also asked for vases with flowers going down the entire aisle, and she only did the first 6. It's sad when you expect something, and receive something else =/.She did deliver with the rest of my items, for example making the stage look beautiful and place a ton of petals on the side of the aisles- but I wrote this to show that from what I got i paid WAYYY more for .

I was very skeptical at first when using La Flor Events because my wedding was in Alabama and they are located in New York, but they totally exceeded my expectations! The linens arrived at my home 3 days before my event. They were exceptional quality linens at an extremely reasonable price. Margie responded to all of my emails in a very timely manner and was always very professional when speaking with her on the phone. I would highly recommend La Flor Events to anyone!

Margie saved the day! I contacted her 2 weeks before my wedding because I had gone over-budget with my original florist and headcount (surprise, surprise), leaving me short of a few centerpieces. I found La Flor designs because I had googled tablecloth rentals (another item I had to cut back on). To my surprise & delight, the cost of La Flor's tablecloths was 4x less! Amazing. I went ahead and rented the tablecloths, discovered that she also carried crystal trees for centerpieces, and on a whim also went with her for bouquets. All I did was send Margie over a link to some other arrangements I liked, and she totally ran with it. I actually had to cancel that portion with my original florist but it was totally worth it. My bouquet cost $100 less, and it was GORGEOUS! I would highly recommend Margie in a heartbeat. She's also very responsive and communicative, easy to get a hold of through email or phone.

Margie was very friendly and super sweet. She attempted to work with my budget which for what it was worth it did help us out. I do not want to say anything bad about her its not in my nature but i would give a piece of advice to any bride doing business with her.My linens arrived stained every single one was stained she does offer very nice linens but i would check and double check them all before you rent them. Some of the flowers she promised me were not included and I was not even told they would be missing from the arrangements I found out the day of the wedding. She had booked someone else on my wedding day and gave me a heart attack about delivery time which we had previously discussed and agreed upon. I needed the flowers to arrive before the photographers did and they were not there.. We had to take most of our photos without them I paid no attention to how late she was I did not want to get upset and then when they arrived they were all open roses and burned on the edges , the flowers were falling off the bouquets and I am sure maybe she had a bad day or her flowers did not arrive in the condition she thought that they would, but I truly felt as if I was put in the back seat due to the minimum order I placed which was the bridal party flowers and the linens. In all more than $1,000 I know she is just starting the business and throughout it all she was very sweet and professional maybe this review will allow her to work out some kinks.. For the most part my wedding went down without a bump in the road this was my only one sorry to say.. I felt she should have deduced the price of the flowers if she knew most of the things she promised were going to be missing. I felt mislead as I spoke to her the night before the wedding and there were no mention to any changes. Good luck to any perspective brides and hopefully this review helps.

Margie at La Flor Events & Designs was always available to answer e-mails and questions. She made my crazy wedding planning process become a breeze and very enjoyable. I'm really thankful to her and her team for everything they did on my wedding. She helped me pick out dresses, gave me color options, visited venues with me, and set up all of my decor. They were amazing!!! I really recommend them to all brides. They listened to me and stayed within my budget. :)

I was so excited to find a vendor who rented paper lanterns. At $1 each the total cost was 1/3 to 1/4 of what it would have been if I had bought them. Margie made everything so easy. She answered inquiries very promptly, was willing to customize the color mix, and handled all the details professionally and reliably. This was a great experience and I'd whole-heartedly recommend La Flor Events & Designs!

The linens were beautiful! The cost of them would have definitely been worth the price except my numbers dropped (because of amount of attendants) from the estimate I had given the company when I first put down a deposit. So, when my number dropped 30 people from my estimate and I had to plan accordingly and ask for less chair covers, sashes, and table cloths. Because I did not give them 30 days notice, I was hit with a $100 fee. Make sure you read your contract!Otherwise the linens were wonderful and really helped make my reception

Margie was an absolute godsend throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was an immense resource and was able to answer any and all of my questions about wedding design and decor.Margie helped me pick out everything from my bridesmaids dresses, table overlays, menu cards, chargers, etc and my wedding reception was absolutely beautiful thanks to all of her hard work.When I had no clue as to what I wanted my cake to look like, Margie sent me pictures of different cakes that would work well the decor.In addition to working as a decor consultant, Margie is also a very talented and creative florist - the centerpieces, bouquets and other floral designs that she worked on were absolutely magnificent.
