Bring Joy - Florals & Events — Local services in Houston

Bring Joy is such a fitting name for Lauren's business. Because I know she has brought that to me and so many other brides!! I talked to Lauren all the way from the Netherlands where I live. My husband is American so we decided to have our wedding in the States, since it was easier for everyone to travel to the US. This meant that I could only talk to Lauren through Skype, Zoom etc, but that wasn't a problem at all!

The reason why I knew I had to work with Lauren versus all the other florists out there, is because Lauren did one thing that none of the other vendors did: she actively thought and drawed out all the things we could do with the florals while staying within my mentioned budget.

I did not expect nor did I ask her to take initiative to draw out these ideas and ways of us making my budget work, without compromising the vision board that I created.

This said so much about her!!! It shows how genuine she is about creating something special for you. Her sweet personality and care spoke just through such a simple action - I needed to book her ASAP because I felt so at ease trusting her with my vision.

On our wedding day she showed up on time, knew exactly what to do and had such a hands-on approach to everything. She is very supportive and I can tell also a very patient person, which is what you will want on your wedding day. You do NOT need ANY vendor who is contributing to the hecticness of a wedding and taking away your peace.

Her arrangements were gorgeous, fresh and professionally put together (A week out today and they're still blooming in our apartment lol). I definitely recommend her for any type of event and will also continue to reach out to her anytime I need any florals...

Let me remind you. NEGATIVE stars! Lauren is a liar, forgetful, unprofessional (she BAD MOUTH us) and unreliable florist who we only wasted money on part of a bigger package.

We spent months planning, but she kept forgetting what we discussed about in prior emails as we got closer to signing with her. When we reminded her of what we talked about, she got offended.

After making us at best a mediocre “silk” bouquet for our photoshoot (which was expensive, and both the color & size were not what we discussed), Lauren lied about not being able to help us on our wedding.

We didn’t want to say anything about that bouquet, hoping it was an isolated incident at the time. We were hoping the rest of the bouquets for our wedding would be better.

Shortly after saying she would NOT be available for our wedding, when our friend called to inquire the SAME weekend, her answer changed. She replied saying she is AVAILABLE the SAME weekend and BAD MOUTH us to our friends. Very UNPROFESSIONAL.

Although she canceling us gave us very littlle time to find another florist by our wedding date, the new florist was so much better (more honest and dependable).

Now, do you remember working with us Lauren or do you want us to post the overpriced basic silk bouquet you...

Lauren is amazing!! She is amazing from start to finish. A friend recommended Lauren to me, and after our first conversation I had mind made up. She is very honest and provides valuable advice. I never felt like Lauren was trying to get me to purchase things that I did not want or need. She focused on what I wanted and worked within my wedding budget. I had a lot of questions, and Lauren responded to all of them in a timely manner. She was readily available via phone or email. I had issues with communication with a different florist, but never with Lauren. It does make a difference being able to speak directly with Lauren who knows the job and is able to make adjustments to your quote right on the spot rather than having to wait/deal with a middle person.

On the day of the wedding she was prompt and efficient. She put together the most beautiful bouquet for me :). The aisle arrangements were spot on and the reception centerpieces were exactly what I wanted. She took care of all the repurposing and clean up after the wedding. The wedding venue had great things to say about her as well. If you want quality and efficiency with someone who is knowledgeable and willing to work with you,...
