California Contemporary | Bold and Bright

Anya McInroy Photography

"There’s no way we can sum up how grateful we are to The Lilac Thief (but we’ll try!). When we were in the early stages of figuring everything out, you were the only people who actually bothered to ask us how we wanted the day to feel. That conversation and subsequent reflection were the north star for us as the process went forward, and the reason the day ended up being so revelrous and intimate and wild and bright. You really were the vibe doulas for the whole event, then reflected that vibe back to us through the flowers, which were, well, revelrous and intimate and wild and bright. You have a gift for close listening and pulling out of people visions they didn’t even know they had. The day looked and felt exactly the way we wanted it to because you pulled it out of us. We are forever grateful for your effortless-looking-but- actually-massive amount of work. Thank you for birthing our wedding baby!"

Bohemian Summer Solstice | Seasonal Meadow

VICTORIA COSTELLO PHOTOGRAPHY

"I cannot express how thrilled I am with the incredible work done by The Lilac Thief for my wedding! From our very first consultation, they completely understood my vision for a chill boho vibe and made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. Their creativity and attention to detail were evident in every arrangement. The flowers were not only stunning but also perfectly captured the dreamy, free-spirited aesthetic I was going for. Each bouquet, centerpiece, and floral installation was a piece of art that brought my vision to life and left my guests in awe. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up beautifully, and the flowers held up wonderfully throughout the event. I received countless compliments on the arrangements, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Thank you, Sarah and Sam, for your incredible work and for being such a wonderful part of my special day!"

Gatsby Meets Disco | Extravagant, Colorful, Exuberant

"I had the most amazing wedding in December, in no small part thanks to the Lilac Thief. They were recommended to me through another recent bride, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I had a challenge with a two-in-one wedding: a traditional Korean/romantic vow exchange and ceremony, followed by a disco/gatsby party vision for the reception. I explained this concept to Sarah and Sam and basically just said- I want color and disco balls for my party- and they got it instantly. They took time to curate an example, were communicative throughout the process, and even helped me pick out table clothes and napkins that would complement the theme. They made me feel confident going into my big day and worked with the other vendors to ensure everything was set up in the room without issue. The florals for my bouquet were so dreamy and whimsical for my vow exchange, but the room absolutely took my breath away! They made unique tablescapes like I’ve never seen before and built huge colorful installations around columns in the room for the party. They were magnificent and perfectly dramatic. They even dried my bouquet and portions of the installations and sent them to me months later for display in my home! I gladly recommend the Lilac Thief to all for every occasion. They are true visionaries who will make any event come to life and such a pleasure to work with."

“I absolutely loved working with Sarah and Sam! I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, but I had colors and a vision, and they ran with it to create something so beautiful.  I got so many compliments on the tablescapes; they made our reception even more magical.  And they were always available to answer my questions in the months leading up to the wedding. I can’t recommend them enough!”
