The Lily Pad Flowers

Working with Kirsten was such a breeze. She was incredibly helpful and patient, especially considering I came in with pretty much no vision other than white flowers, no roses. The flowers on the day of were absolutely beautiful and I got so many compliments. Thank you so much!!

Kirsten is extremely nice and priced reasonably! Flowers weren't a huge deal to me and she helped me create the vision i was looking for. The only problem was that I misunderstood the kind of flowers we were talking about because I was not knowledgeable on flower kinds and so what was at the wedding was not what I was expecting but turned out to be perfect! Kirsten does an amazing job of creating your vision! Our bouquets were INCREDIBLE!!! :)

Kirsten is an awesome florist. She was recommended to us by our wedding planner. Her prices are reasonable and her designs are beautiful. Kirsten did such a fantastic job with my bridal bouquet as well as with all of the florals we ordered for our wedding. I had no idea what kind of designs I wanted and I knew nothing about flowers. I sent her some Internet images I liked along with my ideas for color and design; as our wedding day drew near, she tweaked details to make the florals fit my style. When I saw my bouquet, I was ecstatic. Thank you for your amazing work :)

When we were searching for a florist, we got tired of seeing the same ol' thing over and over with the same packages. Then we stumbled upon The Lily Pad Flowers. Kirsten was very flexible and listened to all of our needs and wants. The consultation was a breeze, even for my husband. We had a relatively tight budget ($500) but she was able to work around that and give us exactly what we wanted. She even allowed us to use our own unique vases and jars to lower the cost. Between then and the wedding, Kirsten sent me sample pictures until we were completely satisfied with the look. A week or so before the wedding I came across a not-so-nice review in which the bride did not get the exact color she asked for. I panicked!!! I am a perfectionist and wanted the colors to match. So, I e-mailed Kirsten and asked her to do some mock-ups. She was more than willing! We even got a sneak peek the day before. She also threw in some extra flowers for the cake. Kirsten was wonderful!

Kirsten and Lily Pad Flowers was great to work with and I would highly recommend her. The flowers turned out absolutely gorgeous and were exactly what I had envisioned. Thanks for everything Kirsten!

We had a wonderful experience with Lily Pad Flowers and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a florist for a special occasion! Our wedding was July 3rd in Denton, and we initially contacted Lily Pad because the staff at our wedding venue listed them as a preferred vendor. Because we chose to have a short engagement, the planning for our wedding had to be done rather quickly, and because Lily Pad is in McKinney, I never actually visited the shop or met any of the staff in person. You'd think this would have made a bride very nervous, but Kirsten quickly put my fears to rest. She handled all the arrangements with me via email and phone. She promptly returned my many phone calls and answered any questions I had. She was a pleasure to work with!On our wedding day, Kirsten arrived at the venue as scheduled and set the flower arrangements up for us exactly as discussed--she handled everything perfectly. The flowers were fresh and beautiful and were exactly what I had envisioned from the pictures we exchanged. I absolutely loved my bouquet!We would be thrilled to work with Lily Pad Flowers again, and we enthusiastically recommend them for your next event!

I loved the centerpieces and bouquets that Kristen did for me. They were absolutely beautiful! Everyone complemented me on how great the flowers looked and smelt! I am very please with how they turned out!

It was a pleasure working with Kirsten. She was really great about working within your budget and was extremely quick to respond to any questions I had. We were happy the day of, especially with the reception decorations.

I really don’t like giving bad reviews, but both Bobby and I felt we didn’t get what we should have regarding our flowers, which disappoints me because we really like Kirsten. First, the good aspects, we were able to bring in our own vases and she worked with me over email, since my work schedule was pretty crazy a couple of months before the wedding. Also, Kirsten’s communication prior to the day-of was responsive and she arrived at the time we needed her to arrive on the wedding day. I got an email from Kirsten on Friday morning before our Sunday wedding saying the Anemone’s we ordered for the centerpieces and my bouquet were being shipped in from Holland and the USDA did not approve the box to pass through customs; therefore, the flowers were destroyed on site. I know this was out of Kirsten’s control, and I did not get upset about this, but we substituted another flower in place of the Anemones. On the day-of Kirsten arrived early and brought our flowers early so we had them for pictures, since we were starting pictures as early as possible, so we could do pictures outside before it got too hot. Bobby and my sister were getting things set up in the reception space, which included putting linens on the tables since the caterer wouldn’t come earlier. Kirsten came in where I was getting my hair done and said she had set all the flowers on 1 table and had to go pick up things from a wedding the night before. She showed my sister where all the flowers went and placed them on the tables so the linens just had to be put down under the centerpieces. Bobby was eating a sandwich down the hall and wasn’t informed of Kirsten leaving. We ended up having to call her to find out where the orchids were that were supposed to go in the bottom of our tall centerpieces, to find out that Kirsten said it didn’t look good and just left them off. This part was important to Bobby because he didn’t like having a completely empty vase with just flowers on the top. The part that bothers us most is that neither Bobby nor I was informed of this decision and it was just made by Kirsten, she did offer to refund the amount for the 6 orchids. The top flowers on the tall vases were much larger than we wanted and looked a lot larger when compared to the inspiration picture we sent her. She explained that she made them bigger to make up for the Anemone’s that were destroyed, so we got more than we wanted for no additional costs, even though we weren’t ok with that. The other, more important reason for the low score is that we had significantly brown flowers by the end of the reception. I found out after we got home and talked to Bobby that some of the smaller centerpieces had browning hydrangea when the flowers were set up on the table cloths the morning of the wedding. My sister did not get a chance to look at all the flowers before Kirsten had left and Bobby was not informed that she was leaving and he didn’t get a chance to look the flowers over. A family member took pictures of the flowers on 1 table after the end of the reception and you can see in her picture that there are a couple of significantly brown flowers, and these are taken from farther away. I just felt that the flowers being in the air conditioning all day should have lasted for about 7 hrs. The first red flag should have been when I picked up my bridal portraits bouquet which had brown flowers in that as well, and I was assured the flowers would not be brown on the day of the wedding. I wasn’t charged for that bouquet and Kirsten gave me an all hydrangea bouquet to use in close ups, due to the brown anemone and roses in the other bouquet. Overall, we felt that we overpaid for the flowers we got and that she overpromised and under delivered.

She was able to give me my vision of what I wanted for closest to my budget while other florists couldn't make my vision happen at all. She was very responsive and up for any changes or ideas I had along the way and worked alot with me trying to get me what I wanted. The day of there were mistakes. The flower girl petals were the wrong color. The boutonniere flowers were the wrong shade that I had picked out and was shown at her house. Also the bridal bouquet had flowers in it that it was not supposed to have. I just went with it and didn't let it bother me that day and for the price it was likely still my best bet.

Kirsten was wonderful! She was very prompt in her replies to my preliminary inquiries as well as my ongoing emails, very willing to work with my ideas and my budget, provided great ideas and a very reasonable price. My flowers looked absolutely lovely on my wedding day, and I would highly recommend her services.

Great work! We had birdcages and she put the cutest flower arrangements in them! She took good care of the flowers and made me (the bride) more relaxed by making sure everything was exactly what I wanted. I went to another flower shop and all they did was tell me I cant do this or that but she was very open minded and gave me exactly what my vision was! Awesome lady!

Our centerpieces and bouquets turned out beautiful. I was not as pleased with the boutineers and cake flowers as they were sparse and some had not yet bloomed. Kirsten was easy to work with however, she sent her husband to deliver the flowers and they were without any labels.

She worked with my budget and likes (I also was not a picky bride and not hard to please). However, she asked me what flowers I didn't like (which was only spider mums), yet those were put in my centerpieces. The MOH's bouquet was supposed to be slightly different than the bridesmaids (a progession from bride to bridesmaids), but there was no difference in any of their bouquets. She did not deliver the rose petals for the flower girl (so I ended up having my flower girl carry my toss bouquet). None of these problems ruined my wedding, but it's something to keep in mind if you are looking for certain aspects.

A Kirsten is so wonderful to work with. She listened to my ideas and helped me find a compromise between my vision and my budget. She is one of the sweetest ladies and so helpful. She emailed me about a week before and advised that she got a huge deal on the orchids and was able to order 3 times as many as we originally though and asked if I wanted the extra at no additional cost. I think most would have just pocketed the extra profit so I was blown away by this. The flowers looked GORGEOUS. My only minor complaint was once I got to the venue I was told by my coordinator that some peonies were missing because she had gotten 5 bad batches in so she had to use some other white flowers. The flowers that were chosen instead were flowers I had previously advised I didnt want to use as they werent my favorite. I wouldn’t have a problem with this but I wish I would have been called and told in advance when the first few bad batches came in and not told once I arrived at the venue by someone else. She told the coordinator that she is going to refund me for the peonies I didn’t get so that helps. My bouquet was beautiful but had a few light pink flowers in it which I was confused on since pink was not one of our colors. Overall the bad peonies were not Kirstens fault and the flowers were all amazing and I am very pleased.

Beautiful flowers. I'm a HUGE flower girl and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. It was my vision completely! Kirsten was also happy to add our personal touch of pinwheels and I really appreciate that! I love, love how everything turned out! Highly recommend.

We had the pleasure of working with Kirsten for our wedding. She is very bubbly and was able to really show my vision for the wedding through the flowers. There was a slight miscommunication with the time of the ceremony, and although an item was left out, she was able to have the flowers at the venue on time. She was very quick to respond to my call and worked very hard to make sure everything was perfect. The flowers were gorgeous!! Everyone complimented me on the flowers, and I plan on giving her number out to my friends that are getting married!!

Kirsten and Lily Pad Flowers was great to work with and I would highly recommend her. The flowers turned out absolutely gorgeous and were exactly what I had envisioned. Thanks for everything Kirsten!Melissa Meador Moitz

She is REALLY responsive and will meet you anywhere ! Even your house ! She provides mock ups and is really sweet. The down side .... her husband drops off the flowers he left all of the flowers at the reception site leaving my planner to run to our ceromony site . When i got my flowers some of the important details on my personal flowers were REALLY wrong. They were still pretty but not what we discussed! Now the receptions flowers were amazing. She is very cost effective and really works to hash out something affortable.

Kirsten w/ Lily pad was such a huge help when picking out my flowers, I think I changed my order a dozen times. Each time she simply made the changes and sent my updated invoice. My bouquet was exactly what I wanted, all I did was send her a photo of what I wanted. Everything was beautiful and priced well. I will use her again in the future for any flowers I may need to purchase!
