Working with Lovely was super easy and a great experience. We had a pretty specific vision - pretty much exclusively calla lilies, lots of candles and some tropical inspired greenery. Lovely knocked it out of the park and flawlessly executed our vision. She also stayed within our budget and was very affordable. I have no hesitation recommending her! I had reached out to several vendors originally and the others tried to talk me into using different flowers and other various things. I really appreciated that Lovely took my vision and ran with it! read more

Working with Lovely was amazing! I was the worst bride to work with and I went into our first meeting with no creative talent or ideas. All I knew was that I didn't want tall centerpieces, but rather something that was small, classic, and elegant. Lovely and my best friend put their magic together and came up with an amazing vision for the wedding. Lovely created the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces for our big day, and I literally couldn't be happier. The flowers looked so fresh and guests raved about "how open they looked". My bouquet was the perfect size and mix of wedding colors. On top of being a creative genius, she was so easy to work with, and even did a sample for my wedding planner and myself to critique ahead of time. Communication was always super quick, and Lovely was so accommodating. She even came to the venue early to bring our bouquets for pictures and set up. Lovely, I really can't thank you enough for making our day so perfect! read more

We were referred to May Floral by a friend of mine who also happens to a wedding planner. I reached out to Lovely and had a great conversation where I explained my vision and budget. Lovely is as sweet as can be! Shortly after she sent us a beautiful proposal. After that it was an easy decision that May Floral would do a great job for us. We had two meetings before the wedding day including a meeting at our reception space. On the day of the wedding Lovely was punctual, professional and did exactly what she explained she would. We were very happy with how everything turned out. I would recommend May Floral to anyone in need of a florist! read more

Lovely was recommended to us by our friends who were recently married, and for that I'm so thankful. Lovely was wonderful to work with! My husband and I didn't have a super specific vision of what we wanted in terms of flowers. I came to our initial meeting with my color palette, a few pictures of white flowers and greenery, and the notion that I wanted our wedding to feel elegant but not over the top/gaudy. Although we didn't give much direction, Lovely did what she does best and nailed it! Everything was logistically very easy as well, from dropping off bouquets/boutonnieres the morning of to the room flip to clean up. It felt good to be able to put trust in someone and have it executed so beautifully (and at a reasonable price)! I would highly recommend working with May Floral. read more

We have used May Floral several times, and have been very happy with the results each time. Unlike picking an arrangement off of a website, Lovely (the owner) takes as much or as little information you're able to provide (preferred colors, flowers, occasion, etc.) and creates a custom arrangement for your order. And the prices are comparable to the big national websites. What's even better is that she delivers the flowers herself and sends you a picture of the arrangement. I highly recommend May Floral. We'll definitely be going back! read more

We used May Floral for our October 2017 wedding and could not have been happier! Lovely of May Floral is the loveliest, truly. Her designs are beautiful and better than anything I had even envisioned. She captured what was in my head. She is so thoughtful in her approach and helped us prioritize what worked within our budget and provided great suggestions that helped us stay within our means, but were still gorgeous. She is patient and quickly answered every long question set we emailed over (there were a ton --thank you!!!!). Lastly, just wow -- there are no words for how incredible my bouquet was -- i was speechless! read more

Lovely designed bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and a few flower arrangements for my wedding and reception. She was amazing to work with. We met so that I could tell her what I liked and disliked. I showed her some examples on Pinterest of what I liked and then let her take that feedback and run. When she showed up on the wedding day, I could not believe how beautiful the arrangements were that she created. They were different than what I had seen before and they were more than I could have imagined. My family, bridal party and guests all commented on how wonderful and unique the flower arrangements were. I highly recommend Lovely, She is kind, professional and very talented. read more

We absolutely loved working with Lovely at May Floral. The arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages she produced made me happier than I knew my wedding flowers could (at the beginning of the process, I thought I didn't care too much about this part). What she produced was unique, reflective of both our vague and specific requests, and just beautiful. She sent an initial proposal with a color scheme that I wanted tweaked slightly, and was incredibly responsive to my feedback. Our final day reflected that feedback perfectly. If you can't tell, I really can't say enough good things about Lovely and May Floral! They have my highest recommendation. read more

The Lovely girl is very nice, listening to me very carefully, taking notes for my imagined flower bouquet for my wedding shoot and giving me her professional suggestion. Finally, she made a great white bouquet for me, with rose and peony. I love it as I love my gown and my man. read more

Lovely did a wonderful job with our wedding. We had a relatively small wedding but she delivered big and within our budget. She even made sure to deliver the bouquet and boutonniere to my fiancee so we would have them for the pictures before the wedding. read more

Occasion: Wedding in December Very easy to work with. I looked through the full gallery and pointed out which ones we liked. I didn't have a lot of ideas or specifics for our first meeting, but Lovely was ready with some ideas and some idea triggering pictures and things like that based on what we said we liked. She was especially accommodating coordinating for the wedding and the flowers arrived on time and were beautiful. read more

I had a LOVELY experience with May Floral. Lovely Bastian was who I worked with and she was wonderful. I gave her a few pictures from my pinterest wall so she knew the look and feel I was going for and she ran with it! My flowers were modern, creative and fresh. I loved the wristlets and boutineers that she made for the people standing up in our wedding; they were very original. Everything was affordable on our small budget, too. I even asked her to help out with our tree planting ceremony and some cute ideas for the kids table and she nailed it. My friend is using May Floral for her wedding in October because of May Floral's service, pricing and originality. I highly recommend May Floral. read more

Lovely at May Floral was so easy to work with. She took our vague design ideas and ran with it creating a proposal that made for a beautiful event! She was also willing to work with us on altering the proposal to meet our specific needs and super responsive during busy wedding season. She worked so well with our other vendors that as an outsider, really looked like a "team" vs. a couple of separate vendors. Would highly recommend to anyone that needs a florist :) read more

I had the pleasure of working with Lovely on a styled shoot last week & she was so wonderful to partner with! As a wedding planner & designer one of the most important creative partnerships I have is with floral designers & Lovely really delivered. We had a very specific look in mind for the shoot, which had tons of color! I was a little concerned before the shoot that the floral wouldn't fall in line with all of the other pieces. THEY WERE PERFECT! It may seem dramatic to say I teared up a little bit when I saw it (and yes, I have a natural flare for the dramatics), but as an artist to see all of the visual pieces work together as you pictured is a beautiful thing and I could not have completed the look without Lovely! She is a talented artist & someone I look forward to working with again! read more

I met Lovely at the Wedding Indie Expo and she was so sweet and sounded so accommodating. I scheduled to meet with her to discuss really just floral head pieces which is what I mentioned in the survey and at the expo. I did have a weird feeling because my budget was so low to begin with. We still met up, she was nice and helpful and the meeting ended rather quick. I was suppose to hear from her the following Monday for my estimate but never got an email or call. I even searched my spam just in case, nothing. I've since then tried to reach out to her twice and still never got a response back. I figured she didn't want to take my order and I'm going to assume it's because I didn't request a full production floral package. Otherwise she would of really tried to reach out to me or she could of mentioned something before the meeting like "due to the busy wedding, I am unable to accommodate small orders at this time". As a busy, soon to be bride, planning a wedding is stressful and we need all the help we can get, even if its just common courtesy. read more

Lovely is amazing! She did the flowers for my wedding and exceeded our expectations. She took the time to listen to what we wanted and explained all of our options. Can't wait to use May Floral again! read more

I recently used Lovely for my wedding and was very disappointed. I showed specific pictures and explained my vision very clearly and did not receive was I was asking for with any of the flowers at the wedding. For my bouquet, I asked for a very large, loose, full, organic arrangement and got the furthest from that. My bouquet was about 3 times too small and not the shape or look I was wanting. The same went for the bridesmaids bouquets, they were as tiny as could be. When I expressed they weren't what I was expecting, she got annoyed and frustrated and seemed to not want to do what she could to get it right, even though she had plenty of time. For the guys boutonnière, I wanted fall flowers with berries and instead got a cactus looking flower with no color. We requested to have fresh flowers as our cake topper and no flowers were put on top of the cake. For our centerpieces in our reception, they once again did not resemble the style from the photos shown. I was very clear on my vision and gave many photos for her to work with. I felt that Lovely was not professional and didn't fulfill what was asked. Very disappointing. read more
