She doesn't do email so I was a little nervous relying on a description alone. I knew exactly what I wanted and described it to her on the phone. She must be magic because the bouquet and boutonniere were perfection. She had them delivered to our hotel just as requested. The photos show the flowers as they looked upon delivery and then after 3 days, packed in a suitcase and flown across the country from New Orleans to San Francisco. We highly recommend her.

Aimee Barousse is an absolute godsend! I hired her as a 'day of coordinator' for my French Quarter…read morewedding on Halloween night & she was amazing. Although I wanted to plan the wedding myself, I needed help on the ground locally (b/c I live in Chicago), as well as guidance regarding the different phases of the reception, etc. Between April & October we had several conference calls & one in-person meeting. I gave her copies of all the contracts w/ my vendors & she followed up w/ each one periodically before the wedding to confirm all the details were still in place. That by itself is fantastic & extremely helpful when planning 900 miles away! Once we landed in NOLA for the wedding, she was helpful & attentive & by my side 100%. I could ask her any question & she helped w/ innumerable details including but not limited to: tricky relative placecard arrangement, post-reception party decoration, & finesse-ing all vendors. Now that the wedding is behind us, she continues to help by shipping all our reception items back to Chicago so we didn't have to either check 5 bags nor scramble to find a FedEx store. Seriously she is incredible & you are doing yourself a tremendous disservice if you do not call her immediately to help plan/coordinate your wedding! Aimee, we couldn't have done it w/o you - a million thanks!

I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for Justin and the incredible work Le Fleuriste did…read morefor our wedding! From the very first consultation, I knew we were in great hands, but they went above and beyond in ways I never could have imagined. Justin and I were immediately on the same page when it came to aesthetic and vision--so much so that we based much of our centerpiece and decor choices around his design suggestions. We even instructed our venue and wedding party to treat him as the final word on all things aesthetic on the day of the wedding. I didn't want anything to interfere with his stunning artwork! We received so many compliments on the event, but every single guest specifically mentioned the florals. I had a pretty specific vision for our flowers--I wanted bold colors, something non-traditional, and whimsical to fit our venue (Music Box Village). Justin truly brought that vision to life in the most breathtaking way. We knew we wanted to incorporate magnolia leaves, and he perfectly executed that with deep copper and dark green tones throughout the arrangements. We also wanted each floral piece to be unique and reflect the varied materials at the venue--iron, wood, ceramic, and more. Rather than a traditional floral arch, Justin created a 10-foot-tall magnolia tree-like installation, crafted from florals and greenery, which was nothing short of spectacular. He then designed different table arrangements that mirrored the main installation's elements. Instead of typical vases, Justin used an eclectic mix of ceramics, bowls, baskets, and more. It was unlike anything I've ever seen at a wedding--beautiful, romantic, and subtly "witchy" to match our Halloween weekend wedding theme. What truly sets Le Fleuriste apart is their ability to take an idea and translate it into a venue-wide ambient reality, all while maintaining 100% commitment to their craft. Leading up to the wedding, they sent several photos of the progress to ensure we were aligned on our vision, which made the process feel seamless despite the unique nature of the arrangements. While traditional wedding florals aren't our style, I have no doubt Le Fleuriste can handle any vision or event, and we would absolutely trust them again for any future occasion. I was lucky to have so many amazing vendors, but Le Fleuriste was BY FAR the best part of our wedding team. Justin and Chad listened intently to every detail I shared and somehow captured the perfect balance of beauty, elegance, and fun that reflected the magic and rustic charm of our venue, as well as the essence of our relationship. If you're looking for an artist who doesn't just deliver gorgeous arrangements but takes the time to understand your style and vision for a stress-free event, I cannot recommend Le Fleuriste enough. Thank you, Justin and team, for making our day unforgettable!

Pistel and Stamen showed every bit of excitement to be working with me and make my floral dreams a reality! They were invested in my ideas and mood boards, they were patient with the changes and working out the quote so that it fit perfectly with everything that I wanted: affordability + beauty. Denise even went above and beyond and met with us at our venue to walk through and discuss ideas and she gave amazing feedback on all the possibilities and how we could make them work! I absolutely loved working with the Pistel and Stamen team and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a team that is taking wedding florals to new standards!

Hands down Andrea is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can 100%…read moresay that if she had not been our wedding planner this event would not have gone down. I am from New Orleans but live in Austin, Tx. When we got engaged I put a post on facebook asking if anyone back home knew of a wedding planner they would recommend and a friend directed me to Vim& Verve. BEST DECISION EVER! I cannot rave enough about Andrea. She talked me down off the ledge when I called balling my eyes out saying that we were going to elope due to the extensive amount of drama from our friends and family. Andrea calmed me, told me to sleep on it for a night and talk with the groom the next morning. When I wanted to return my dress she advised me to try it on then send her a picture. When she saw the photo she suggested changing the accessories ( sash and veil) I hadnt even considered it... I found a bridal consingment shop brought the dress, veil and sash - discovered a whole new look to the dress that fit my personality better just by changing those things. I fell in love with the dress all over again. She made amazing recommendations for the caterer Laura Arrowood and photographer Jason Albus - they were budget friendly and out of this world great. Everytime we traveled to New Orleans Andrea made time to meet with us no matter how short of a trip it was. The day before the wedding weather forecast showed rain and probability of a tornado. Andrea was cool, calm and collected while I was very freaked. She calmed my nerves, we called around to rental companies and found that tents would be 700$ or more at last minute our budget didnt allow for that. Andrea jumped on the phone and made a trip to the Naval Base in Belle Chasse to rent tents for 20$ a day the day before the wedding - can you say above and beyond. When our officiant dropped out of the wedding she stepped up and said she could recommend a few people in town or she would do it herself. She helped us write an amazing ceremony and when we opted to write our own vows she proofread them and helped make tweaks so they were perfect. We have a lot of crazy family situations, she listened to all the drama and knew ahead of time what to look out for - family members that have come to blows and hadnt been in the same room for over 20 years came together and had an amazing time. It was MANDATORY that we find a venue who would allow our dogs to walk in our wedding party ( we have 6 and a pig) she gave us options fitting all of the things we asked for. Every text and email, no matter how tiny I sent her I received a response to without a lengthy wait. There is sooooo much more I could go on for days. She handled every member of our group with respect, care and happiness no matter how attitudey some of them could be. EVERY family member, wedding party member and guest loved Andrea. We received so many compliments on how fun, happy, friendly and great she was from all of our guests. She made planning a wedding from out of town a breeze. She helped my come up with meanings for our cake pulls and found us such great deals and vendors. Every person in and at the wedding stopped us to say this was the funnest wedding with the best food, music, drinks and ceremony they had ever been to and how much they LOVED Andrea. I cant say enough how much we love Andrea and how lucky you will be, how amazing your night will go if she takes care of you and your family on your special day. Theres nothing like it. Andrea was the best thing that happened to this couple, and I can safely say we didnt just find a wedding planner. We have gained an amazing friend. She embraced us from day one and didnt make us feel like we were a paycheck or a client, she made us family. Vim & Verve is number one in our book. Thank you Andrea, you ROCK our world and gave us more than we ever dreamed.

I don't have a lot of time right this second so I plan to give more details later, but I have to…read moresay that Vim & Verve worked miracles for us! For our tenth wedding anniversary, we wanted to renew our vows in a unique and big way, on a very limited budget. Andrea found the most interesting things for us to do before the event and as the event. We planned the whole thing from our home in Los Angeles, and never had a detail to worry about. Andrea knows EVERYBODY in New Orleans, and they probably all owe her a favor or two. She always presented us with at least two options (many more to start with) once we narrowed down to the specific type of thing we wanted, and she was there with us for every part of the event, from joining the wedding party for breakfast the day of, to taking the guys shopping for appropriate "second-line" hats, to dancing in the second line WHILE she video-taped the whole thing... If you have any questions, please feel free to message me here, I'm happy to give you details.

Not the best motive I suppose, but it is what it is. This year I decided to send flowers from a couple of different places so she wouldn't be expecting them if she were to look at the bank account (I used multiple cards). The arrangement I chose from Golden Touch was pretty awesome and easily my favorite. It was a modern arrangement with lilies and orchids. I ordered it on Wednesday the 9th for delivery on Monday the 14th. On Saturday the 12th I received a call from Golden Touch explaining that they were out of the flowers they needed to make that arrangement. I tried to find some substitutes, but they kept suggesting things like snap dragons and roses instead of the more unusual flowers I had originally purchased like orchids and proteas. All in all I was very disappointed that they waited until the Saturday before Valentine's day to tell me this. It was too late for me to order flowers that don't suck or don't cost 10x's more than they already did. I won't be using them again just because they were in my opinion inconsiderate.
