Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a florals partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

We were so incredibly lucky to have Peggy (and Brianna!) from Lily of the Valley Florist — not only as our florist, but as a dear family friend who made our floral dreams come true in every possible way. From the very beginning, Peggy and the whole crew brought a calm, supportive presence that made the entire planning process feel easy and joyful. She took the time to truly understand our vision, and somehow transformed every idea into something even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The care, thoughtfulness, and artistry that Peggy poured into every detail was undeniable — every arrangement felt personal, intentional, and absolutely stunning. She even made our disco ball, greener...

I had the opportunity to work with Peggy and team for my wedding day. I cannot emphasize enough what true professionals this team is. Not only is Peggy mega-talented and a spectacular artist/florist, she is extremely kind. Peggy so closely listened to our vision, and made sure to execute every single detail. My guests were in-awe over these florals. Peggy, thank you so very much for making the wedding floral planning experience and the wedding day experience a dream come true. (Photos by Mary Dougherty)

We at River Road Farm have had the pleasure of working with Lily of The Valley Florist on several weddings, and we cannot recommend them highly enough! Peggy, Brianna, and their team are fantastic—their creativity, attention to detail, and passion for floral design shine through in every arrangement. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they also bring such a fun and positive energy to the planning process. Being local to Manchester, they truly understand the beauty of Vermont and know how to enhance any wedding setting with stunning floral designs. If you're looking for a florist who is reliable, artistic, and a joy to work with, look no further!
