Lara did a wonderful job at my daughter's wedding. I met with her and described the look that we were looking for and she was able to create it very well even though she had had not done that look before. I would highly recomend her

Laura did an amazing job on the flowers. Very attentive and easy to work with. Found her at one of the bridal extravegaza shows and she was the only one that called me....thus getting my business.

I cannot praise Lara enough for the beautiful flowers she provided me for our wedding. I purchased bouquets, corsages and flowers for the cake. It wasn't a tall order, but the effort and care she put into them, was beyond my expectations. Her prices were the best when compared to five other vendors. I was worried that my flowers might wilt before the big day, because I picked them up the day before, But not only did my orchids thrive, they lasted three more days, which is amazing considering they are a delicate flower. I would Highly recommend Lara!

LZ floral is absolutely wonderful!! Lara is five stars all the way down the board because she was always so very nice and helpful even when I changed my mind about the entire order twice. The flowers just beautiful and arranged so well! Her prices are the best I was able to find. I went to her first after meeting at the bridal show. Our appointment was supposed to be an hour but it went way over that due to my indecisiveness. Lara was so nice and didn't mind at all about the extra time.

Lara was AMAZING!!! She was very patient with me and my mother (our tastes didn't exactly match) when deciding on decor for my wedding. She was ALWAYS available by phone and email, she kept the lines of communication open and followed up with me every week the month before my wedding. She is very fair in pricing and will be realistic with you on what she can do for you in your set price range. I highly recommend LZ FLORAL.

I absolutely loved Lara's flower arrangements. She did exactly what I asked and was very knowledgeable about her products. Consultations with her were extremely smooth. She was very flexible with meeting times. She arrived on time the day of the wedding and flowers were set up well in advance. She was very professional in sending pricing information and contracts, etc. I felt very comfortable with her doing my flowers and I would use her services again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Lara!

From the moment we walked into her store, Lara made us feel like we were in capable hands. She did a wonderful job on the flowers, with a professional and calming spirit. I would highly recommend her services for any bride looking for an exceptional florist!

We heard about LZ Floral from the bridal extravaganza. Made an appointment and came in to talk to Lara. She was very sweet, helpful, and full of ideas. We just told her our ideas and she made it seem like it was easy. The first impressive part was we needed a bouquet within 3 days for the bridal shoot and she got it done. The part that blew us away was when we saw our pew markers for the first time, jaw dropping and in awe. She took our ideas and not only did she run with it, she made it into something even more and better. Our venue was absolutely beautiful with what she did and all of our guests were amazed. Thank you so much Lara!

Lara was our floral design for our wedding at the Bell Tower on 34th, and she also took care of the decor in the Saint-Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. I will start by saying that she is a wonderful florist and that she really had a vision for this wedding. My husband and I are really into the japanese and 'zen' style, which means a little number of flowers put together in a 'geometric' fashion. We wanted a purple decor with a touch of orange. Everything turned out amazing. We had calla lilies, orchids, birds of paradise, tulips and bamboos in our centerpieces and in the church. She did such beautiful arrangements, it was breathtaking. I wanted to avoid having large arrangements of roses everywhere and she was so successful in doing something nice, original that was 100% 'us'. The theme of the wedding was 'Math and Science' (we are both scientists) and she helped us keep an hedgy and elegant wedding in spite of what people would say is a nerdy theme. She played a lot with the shape of the vases and containers, and with symmetry. And they kept the flowers for worship the next days in the church and I heard from so many people that the decor was really original and amazing! Just beautiful! A few problems to mention though. First, we had 8 tables, 3 arrangements for the church, one bouquet (i didn't have any bridesmaids) and a few corsages, and also some decor for the signing table and cake. For that we paid $2,500, which I don't consider too bad but still a little expensive... You have to consider though that she rented us a lot of glassware, so that may be why, but I still think we didn't have a lot of flowers for the money. Another problem was that we went away for our honeymoon and came back a week later, and my parents that were staying at my place said the flowers all died 3 days after we left and that they could only save a couple of orchids for us. Finally, our first agreement with her was that set-up was included in the price. However, the napkins and chair sashes we wanted to rent through her were 3 times more expensive to rent than to buy, so I decided to buy it online. 3 HOURS before the wedding she sent a paypal payment request asking for $150, saying that she would tie the sashes if we didn't pay that amount right away. And guess what? We didn't get the email before the wedding because we were busy doing other things (as you may guess...), so she didn't set up. Fortunately for us the lady at the venue decided to do it for free as she didn't want us to be disappointed because of a stupid last minute problem... A little disappointing, that's it. I also have to add that she wasn't very flexible in terms of the times at which we could meet with her, and in spite of her promise that we could see a sample of the centerpieces before the wedding we couldn't. But if I assume the flowers were expensive after this summer's drought, and also a little weak for the same reasons, then I can say that generally speaking she was a great choice (much better than other vendors we saw anyway!)

I was new to the Houston area when I got engaged, so I didn't know much about wedding vendors. I was referred to LZ Floral Design by my videographer (Bella Vista Productions) and I'm so glad I listened. Lara was easy to work with, quick to return phone calls and was by my side through the entire planning process. My wedding was September 3rd and the flowers were gorgeous! My bouquet was my favorite part and EXACTLY like I wanted it. Thank you Lara!!!

We were going to go with a cheaper option at first, but we are SO glad we decided to go with Lara. Everything looked absolutely beautiful and she was so on top of everything.
Quality of Service: Lara would always respond to my emails containing many questions with a detailed answer for each question. She was so put together and it really made it easy for me to fine tune what I wanted. The final product was perfect and exactly as I envisioned it (which is extremely hard to do).
Responsiveness: If I sent an email to Lara, I knew I would get a response within 24 hours, easy. This was my favorite thing about her. It made me feel so comfortable and made me feel like she put my wedding first (whether she did or not!)
Professionalism: Lara was extremely professional and soo easy to get along with. She always answered questions and followed through with everything. She has a lot to offer too so be sure to check out her other items. I ended up getting bridesmaid gifts through her.
Value: She was more expensive than our other option, but definitely worth it. She delivered a great product and peace of mind - something well worth the money when it comes down to it.
Flexibility: Because Lara is a great communicator it allows her to be more flexible with your wedding. An amazing plus, if you ask me.
You won't regret going with Lara and LZ Floral. She's a great person with a great product.

The wedding flowers were beautiful! I had no idea about specific flowers for the bouquets and centerpieces. I just told her what colors I had in mind and left it up to her to pick what flowers she thought was best. They turned out perfect and was just what I had in mind. She always answerd emails quickly and was a pleasure to work with.

Lara was so wonderful to work with!! She responds to emails and phone calls very quickly and is always very helpful! She was even was able to improvise and accomodate my Grandmother on our wedding day to make her flowers a wristlet instead of bout. I thouroughly enjoyed working with Lara and will always recommend her!

Beautiful and Affordable. Laura was so easy to work with! Laura was able to create my ideas and came up with lots of great ideas. I changed my mind on centerpieces a few weeks before the weeding and was able to communicate with Laura by email to come up with new and affordable ideas!

I met Lara through the Raveneaux but she also goes to the Houston bridal expo's. She doesn't have an actual shop to visit, so you call and set up a meeting with her at where ever is convenient to you and she will bring a portfolio of what she's done so you can get an idea of what she can do. She's very flexible and I had her do both my ceremony flowers and reception centerpieces. I wasn't happy with the 1st mock centerpieces and she had no problem redoing it and recreating a 2nd mock centerpiece for me. Her prices are reasonable and always produces beautiful work in the end. For brides trying to keep their budget down - and coming from a DIY bride - if your not talented to do your bouquets yourself using silk flowers, you can't really get much reasonable than LZ Floral. Save yourself the headache and multiple trips to Micheal's-I recommend her to anyone
