Becky was absolutely amazing to work with. We planned our wedding during Covid and had many changes to our plans and Becky helped us navigate it all. Becky, Heather, and Kari were all there on our wedding day and I didn’t worry about a single thing. It was the most relaxed I had been and we can’t thank them enough!!! Becky and her team are top notch and you won’t regret hiring them.

I chose Violet Lane for my wedding day because Megan was willing and able to hear what I needed and fit within my budget and preferences. She nailed it by creating a beautiful bouquet that fit my budget, perfectly matched my color scheme and vibe, and was willing to order some bulk flowers for me to DIY my decor.
