La Tee Da

AWESOME! I have recieved about a million compliments on my flowers. From the minute I walked into Barbara's store to plan for our wedding flowers I knew I wasn't going to be disappointed. I only had one picture of something I liked and Barbara scribbled down a bunch of notes that I definitely couldnt read and from that she created such beautiful flowers. I could not be more happy with them, she has an incredible passion for what she does and it shows in her work!

The flowers were BEAUTIFUL. The service was great. Barbara does an amazing job ordering the highest quality flowers. I heard several comments from guests about how beautiful the flowers were. The bouquets are amazing. They are huge!

Where do I start....Barbara is an absolute JOY! I loved working with her to create a weddinhg that people are STILL talking about! My wedding was everything I dreamed of & more. The ceremony was a DREAM!!!!! It was perfect in every way. She did an amazing job and has become someone I hope to stay in contact with. The lace she purchased for me, and the chiffon were EXACTLY what I pictured. My wedding was the dream wedding I never imagined I would have. The bridal flowers, and bridesmaid flowers were perfect. I don't even know where to begin with describing just how flawless the wedding flowers really were. The broach I purchased for my bridal bouquet will now be something I keep for a daughter I have in the future. Not having my mom here to help plan a wedding was so difficult, but with a vendor like Barbara it made it such a smooth process. Barbara, I adore you and am so honored I was able to have you as a part of my wedding. You have helped make memories I will never forget....and I have a picture to prove it. Thank you for everything. You have a happy bride and a lifelong friend in me. Thank you!!!!

Barbara with La Tee Da did cause a few problems there at the end when it came time for our final appointment. I needed to add a few things and take away a few things because of money issues. I called and left a message about a month away from our wedding and she never got back to me. She also never contacted me at the three week mark. I finally was able to get a hold of her by emailing her on her website about two weeks out. I then told her what I needed to do and she refused to take off what I didn't want. So my fiancée and I had to scramble to try to come up with the money. Don't get me wrong, the flowers were absolutely beautiful and I have to say that the wedding turned out gorgeous and I wouldn't change a thing. And up until the end we didn't really have any problems. She was nice, but not very helpful there towards the end. I would reccommend her, however, If you choose her you have to make sure to stay on top of things of what you want and what you can afford.

The flowers that La Tee Da provided for my wedding were more than I could have ever hoped for. I had the most gorgeous bouquet ever! The center pieces were to die for. It was like she could read my mind and made my ideas even better.

Barbra and her staff went above and beyond to make my wedding beautiful. The day before my wedding the venue was not able to accommodate the metal gazebo that they had previously said they could and Barbra came to the rescue. She came up with the solution and had it all figured out and made it look better than what I dreamed it could look. In the beginning she consulted me on the overall look and feel of the wedding and gave me tips on how to make it better. The best advice I got from anyone was from her "Decide on the overall look and feel you want and then stop looking because you will start getting too much stuff and it will look overwhelming". She sat with me, my mom, my wedding coordinator, husband, and sister for over 3.5 hours getting ideas and just chatting with us before a contract was even discussed. La Tee Da is a very thorough, creative, and doting, florist and I loved every thing she did for my wedding!

La Tee Da did a wonderful job on our flowers! they were beautiful and I could not have been happier. Barbara was amazing and great to work with, I would recommend La Tee Da to anyone!

My flowers and decorations were gorgeous....more than I could ever imagined!

Barbara & her team are amazing! The flowers were absolutely beautiful ... Amazing talent at La Tee Da. From when you walk into the shop, they treat you like a queen & are excellent with making sure you get exactly what you want! Thank you La Tee Da!

Hands down the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen at a wedding. I was so lucky that it was my wedding they were in! I wish I could post a picture of the beauties. Beautiful, gorgeous flowers and terrific service!!

I LOVED Working with La Tee DA they made my wedding planing so easy! It was everything I wanted.

The owner Barbra gae me her cell number from day one and answered EvERY time I called. Which was alot! She was never irritated or short with me once. I personally don't know anything about flowers so I gave her my colors and told her to make it pretty. My flowers were everything I wanted and so much more. It truly made the wedding perfect.

If you are getting married in the Tyler area having La Tee Da as your florist is a must! Barbara and her staff are some of the most professional people to work with. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and definitely went above and beyond my expectations! I absolutely loved my bouquet as well as my bridesmaids bouquets and received compliments on them all night! My centerpieces were exactly what I envisioned and I couldn't have asked for anything more! I love La Tee Da and would highly recommend them!

Where to start with Barbara?! She is the BEST!!!!! You can always tell Barbara's work from anyone elses. Her flower arrangements are so unique!!! And Barbara is absolutely the best!! I called her stressed out and crying because I was planning on doing my centerpieces myself and what I ordered did not come out like what I thought at all and just weeks before the wedding she figured something beautiful out. Then 2 weeks before the wedding, I realized I didnt order enough centerpieces!! We had to do every other centerpiece different. And I didnt even go to her shop. I was like I trust you. And they turned out PERFECT!!!! I would only ever recommend Barbara!! She is the very best!!!!

My husband and I absolutely LOVE La Tee Da! When we began planning our wedding we chose a venue that was about an hour and a half from where we live. We really wanted to keep everything local with the venue so I began to research florists in the area. When I came across La Tee Da's website I immediately knew that they would be our florist! Lucky for us, they were available for our wedding date! From our initial meeting until the very last detail on our wedding day we were very pleased with Mrs. Barbara and her staff. She spent hours with us helping us achieve the romantic look that we wanted. I even thought 47 days before the wedding that I wanted to completely change everything; I called Mrs. Barbara, we met again and decided that I was second guessing myself and that what I had initially picked out was what I wanted to go with. She was completely game for changing them if I had wanted though. She also saved the day and made me an amazing last minute bridal portrait bouquet and she and Mrs. Pam even helped me get in my dress for those same portraits! I honestly wish our wedding night could have lasted forever because of how goegeous La Tee Da made everything look; The center pieces were amazing....They were huge and full, just as I had imagined. All of the bouquets, cake flowers, and entry way arrangement were breath-taking. I still have so many people complimenting the beautiful flowers that we had! I had the wedding of my dreams and all thanks is owed to La Tee Da for creating all of the gorgeous pieces! They are definitely the best florist and completely exceeded our expectations! La Tee Da ROCKS!

I chose La Tee Da as my wedding florist as I had been involved in many of my friends weddings and was totally mesmirized by the beauty and personalized style of their flowers. I decided then, that La Tee Dee was the one perfect choice for my wedding.
What a joy it was to design the wedding of my dreams with Barbara, Her weddings are all so beautiful and exquisite .
My wedding day finally arrived and I was not to be dissapointed!
La Tee Da is truly the most amazing florist!
My flowers were so incredibly beautiful, They were everything I had wanted and more. I could see the creativity and love that went into creating the flowers that dreams are made of. My wedding day was truly beautifull and I want to thank La Tee Da for the most incredible day of my life.
Thank you, La Tee Da, You are the best!

I loved working with everyone from La Tee Da. During my initial appointment, Barbara sat down with me for hours showing me various pictures and allowing me to really dream of my perfect day. They even saved the day when I forgot to order a bouquet for my bridal pictures. I called the day before and Barbara and her husband met me at their shop before business hours with a bouquet that was perfect. Now, La Tee Da is not cheap but you really get what you paid for. When I arrived to the venue on my wedding day, I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. The arrangements were huge and honestly, the most gorgeous I have ever seen. My wedding was months ago and I have still getting compliments on the flowers.

Barbara and her team made sure my day was perfect! The flowers and bouquets turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!! Since I'm not great with flowers, Barbara took the time to explain what would work beautifully on my day!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Barbara and her staff at La Tee Da flowers! I live in California, and my wedding was in Texas... Barbara went out of her way to make sure that everything was as easy and stress-free as possible for me. Barbara went way beyond being just a wonderful florist, she looked up vendors for me beacause she knew I lived out of there area. She even meet me, last minute, and on her day off, while she had house guests over for the Christmas holiday, because she knew I was on a time crunch. How many florists do that? None, JUST La Tee Da!!! She worked within my budget, and made suggestions on how I could save money, and still have beautiful flowers at my wedding. I am beyond pleased with how kind, professional and amazing La Tee Da Flowers are!!

Barbara and her staff are amazing! I walked in with a wedding magazine and said, "This is what I want...but I cannot spend $25k+ on flowers. What can we do?" Without hesitations, she and her staff did more than I dreamed within my budget. I cannot say enough about the time she spent with me and my mother to plan every detail involving flowers and candlelight. She even made the ballroom we married in have the feel of church by adding a large iron cross, which she draped with a stunning floral garland, as the backdrop of our ceremony. It was perfect and more than I dreamed of thanks to her and her team!

La Tee Da designed gorgeous flower arrangements for our wedding party. My bouquet was gorgeous. Since Tyler is the Rose capital of the world I wanted to incorporate roses which are my favorite flower. The altar arrangements were pink hydrangeas and the bridesmaids all had different shades of pink roses. The groomsmen wore a single pink rose and my bouquet was a mixture of white Gardenias and gorgeous shades of pink roses and was held together with white satin ribbon.

I can not lie that the flowers were beautiful. And, they were enjoyed by everyone at the wedding. The work of the florist is definitely what caught our eye at a bridal show, however:

After my mom and I were told the flowers would never be late, they were still being put together as we were taking family pictures before the wedding. The flowers were pricey, and my mom and I felt that we were being pushed to buy more to make it look better (we intended on never having many flowers, because the venue was beautiful in and of itself). We feel that we could have gotten better service if we went somewhere else. My mom was sent another customer's contract in the mail. When she called to explain the problem, it was a while until she actually spoke with Barbara. And, the whole problem seemed a hassle. During our consultation to finalize the flowers, Barbara took a phone call that "had to be taken." We understand if it is an absolute emergency, but we were then rushed to finish the meeting, when half of it was spent with her on the phone, which we did not think was fair.

I had a few problems with my florist. She almost missed an appointment, I continually felt like she was trying to force sell me more and more stuff that I didn't want, and she was much more opinionated about what I needed than I felt she should be. However, she's good...really, really good. Several acquaintances and I all used her for our wedding, and the flowers were breathtaking at all of them. I've been getting such good responses back from everyone who has seen my flowers. I wouldn't use her for a traditional rose bouquet, but if you want something different she's the way to go. My bouquet was a mixture of 4 types of roses, calla lilies and hydrangeas. My centerpieces were roses floating in water with arrangements on top. By all means talk to her about her wrought iron window covered in flowers. I was taken away by it all. She showed up early to make sure everything was okay and checked in with every single person to make sure their flowers were okay. She even stayed through the first of the reception to move some of my outside flowers inside for the reception.

The La Tee Da crew have the perfect bloom for every aspect of your celebration. Barbara and her staff will create the perfect floral design to compliment any size or type of wedding celebration. Visit with Barbara, enjoy the ambience of her beautiful shop and plan every floral detail of your special day. Their floral magic will amaze you!

What a magnificent talent. Barbara Tidwell and team set the bar so high for all florists. Very much a signature style. They are rock stars in the East Texas and surrounding areas.

Elmwood Gardens LOVES La Tee Da! Barbara and her staff are an absolute pleasure to work with and their work is simply amazing. There is no better florist in East Texas!
