Going into our wedding, I had high expectations for our wedding florals and I was very excited to get to work with Meghon from Love & Lupines. She definitely delivered! Meghon took the time to go over my vision, review my Pinterest board, and come up with a plan that would fit within my budget. Love & Lupines was very understanding and accommodating for us with our postponement to 2021 for our 2020 wedding, and even went above and beyond for the day of, even though they were trying to fit a year's worth of weddings in a few months. Everything was such a dream, and I actually teared up seeing everything

I was so impressed with Love & Lupines floral designs! I provided an inspiration picture and my color palette and they matched so perfectly and nailed the look I was going for. I requested protea flowers and my bouquet had a magnificent king protea, which I've now preserved. I highly recommend Love & Lupines for your event!

I was fortunate enough to work with Love & Lupines for weddings and saw the spectacular arrangements Meghon and her team created for peoples special days. I was beyond thrilled to find out they opened and brick-and-mortar, and the Friday pop ups have been magical to bring home a unique creation each week to brighten my house. Theres a huge variety available when you go, sourced from local farms and who doesnt love flowers. Thanks L&L for bringing light to our worlds during such crazy times.
