It was a delight working with Verbena Floral Design for our wedding day! My now wife, Janel, and I were planning a wedding in Austin for October 2016 living in Houston, and we visited Austin in March 2016 to visit 7 potential floral vendors. Throughout our day, my wife and I had no idea what we were doing, what flowers we liked, what types of flowers even existed on our planet, what season flowers were best shipped, etc. etc. etc. We were just having fun being completely lost together, and at the same time had no way knowing how to decide on our vendor. It was our very last stop at Verbena that sealed the deal when we met LuAnn. We were seated at a table decorated solely with previous couples’ Thank You cards, and I remember being a useless groom reading each individual one while my bride was answering a questionnaire with LuAnn during our consultation. For me, reading how great LuAnn and her team executed each couple’s wedding day and the appreciation they had for Verbena really made me feel like they cared about making the wedding day perfect for each individual couple. It was this personal touch that made our final decision easy. LuAnn and her team made us feel like royalty, like they were just focusing on our individual needs for our wedding, and really cared about making our wedding beautiful beyond our expectations. It felt like it wasn’t business for them but rather a true passion to make this one day perfect for us. I can’t stress how easy it was working with them. Communication was superb since we were planning a wedding in a different city, and LuAnn really planned EVERY individual floral detail and décor perfectly within our budget. I cannot express how thankful we are for Verbena for transforming our venue (Pavilion at Omni Barton Creek) into a dreamlike fairytale. It was perfect. We are still having withdrawals, and we truly miss communicating with LuAnn and her team regularly. We highly recommend Verbena Floral Design to be your floral vendor!!! We are forever Verbena fans and are now avid followers on Instagram!

I wish I could give Verbena 100 stars, because I can’t tell you enough how GORGEOUS and PERFECT my wedding flowers came out. I met with LuAnn about 2-3 times before my wedding to go over the vision I had in mind for my flowers. Despite hours of searching on pinterest and google, there was not a single photo I could find that matched exactly what I wanted for my own flowers. When I sat down with LuAnn, I showed her aspects of several photos I liked, such as these soft green eucalyptus leaves, those soft pink and peach roses and dahlias, that style of loose and gathered bouquets, and basically asked her to put all the bits and pieces into a bouquet that I had in mind. I have to admit it was pretty terrifying not knowing how my flowers would come out and not being able to see them until my wedding day (you can ask for a mock bouquet but it costed extra and I wasn’t willing to drop the money), but when I saw my flowers for the first time on my wedding day, I was so in LOVE with them! They were absolutely flawless and totally spot on of what I had envisioned this whole time. Not only that, they went along with my soft romantic color scheme and our elegant venue perfectly. All my girlfriends commented to me how my flowers were so, so beautiful. I especially appreciated how LuAnn was very accommodating from the start. She always made an effort to make sure she was on the same page of my vision for my flowers. I also really liked the fact that you could choose to either keep all your flowers after the wedding or donate them to Dell Children’s Hospital for all the sick children there. Since I am a pediatrician, I was ecstatic to donate them! Thank you for making the most beautiful, most perfect flowers I could have ever asked for and for giving me the opportunity to give back in the community! Hire Verbena! You will not regret it.

I called Verbena a few days before my pickup date to find out my options due to my bridal portraits being rained out and order a bouquet for the reschedule session. I was informed that my order could not be canceled and they refused to do anything for less than the original price of the bouquet. So, I ended up with a $128 arrangement that consisted of 6 boutonniere sized mango calla lilies and filler. I completely understand paying for the flowers b/c they had to special order them, but I really don’t understand having to pay for the service of them making an arrangement when I informed them in plenty of time that it was no longer needed. We ordered my next bouquet from my wedding florist in East Texas. I love my pictures and the gorgeous calla lilies from the East Texas florist were a much more appropriate size (they cost $50 less & there were more of them). I know that my pictures would not have been as good if I would have used the tiny, dark flowers from Verbena instead of the big, bright ones I got from the other florist. Verbena is not willing to work with you when your needs change and they overcharge you for a low quality product. I knew from other reviews that they would be expensive—but what you get for your money is far from worth it.

I recently used Verbena for my wedding on March 6, 2010 and had many problems trying to find a florist. I was shocked! I was coming up to the last minute (4 weeks) and I was referred to them by my wedding planner (Scott) at The Driskill. The day I called and explained my situation they squeezed me in and scheduled an appointment with me! We went over my budget and talked about exactly what I wanted. The meeting was short, sweet, and perfect. The flowers were delivered on time and were even more beautiful than I could imagine. I think they went above and beyond to help me out in a bind and were so helpful. Devon was amazing and so understanding. I do not understand why there are bad reviews on here. I had a wonderful experience and they made the process so easy!!

Verbena did an amazing job with our wedding flowers. The flowers were beautiful and fresh! All the bouquets and arrangements lasted for a couple of weeks after the wedding. Their staff is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and patient. They are willing to work with your budget, and always get back to you quickly if you send an email or call with questions. Best florist in Austin in my opinion.
