Kind Words

We were very lucky to find Melissa Lafontaine at Earth Within Flowers for our wedding. I was not looking forward to the process of deciding on flowers for our wedding because I did not want anything elaborate. We were getting married at a simple rustic/authentic venue in Bozeman, MT and I wanted the flowers to complement the feel of everything. Every other florist we had talked to was just too over the top and I didn't feel like they were listening to what I wanted. I am also very simple in my tastes, and it was important for me to find a florist who understood that. Melissa went above and beyond to help realize the vision I had for our flowers. I can honestly say it was perfect, simple and elegant which is exactly what we wanted. The flowers complimented me, my husband, our wedding party and the venue. It was absolutely stunning and beautiful. I would recommend Earth Within Flowers to anyone needing someone who will truly listen to them and work with them on what they need. I think Melissa truly took the time to understand me and what I wanted. I can't thank her enough for that.

Earth Within Flowers created a gorgeous bridal bouquet and boutonnière for our wedding. They were both absolutely perfect. I'd ordered online and uploaded a few examples of what I liked and the results were even better than I'd imagined. The bouquet was also full of white lilacs and smelled amazing! To top it off their prices are better than much of the competition. Highly recommend Earth Within.

Very much appreciated my experience ordering flowers for Mothers Day. They were communicative, easy to work with, and delivered a beautiful bouquet. Thank you!

Working with Melissa at Earth Within Flowers was a wonderful and seamless experience. As a shy queer couple, Melissa made us feel comfortable and helped us bring our simple fall vision to light. She was receptive, creative, and empathetic —with a calming energy that is unmatched. We loved working with Melissa and would absolutely recommend!

Working with Melissa and Earth Within Flowers for our wedding was a wonderful experience. We really appreciated Melissa's down to earth energy and positive communication. Melissa and her team worked fluidly with other vendors during the wedding set-up and were so much fun to speak to and joke around with. Our wedding florals turned out even better than we had imagined!

We had the best experience working with Melissa at Earth Within Flowers for our wedding. She took extra care to make sure that our vision came to life perfectly and exceeded our expectations in every way. Can't recommend EWF enough!

I've done a few wreath workshops with Melissa, and I go home with a gorgeous piece of art each time. Her selection of local materials and wonderful teaching make for a stress free way to DIY something beautiful for yourself or as a gift to others. Thank you Melissa for another wonderful experience!

Melissa and this business are believers in making dreams a reality. I dreamt of floral that would weave and dance on tables, hang from ceilings, and be a conversation piece for my wedding and she made it happen. Through every single step Melissa was a guiding light. She was outstanding at communicating, which when planning from states away was such a stress reliever as well as thoroughly understanding and interpreting my esthetics. Through images and what I can only presume to be her crazy ability to mind read, she made everything I had hoped for come to be.Melissa went above and beyond to not only tackle floral (which in itself is so much more than a single word don’t even get me started), but she quickly became a friend who helped pull pieces together and make one cohesive being when I was not sure which way to go with decisions. Her opinion was so valuable to me and throughout the entire process she was there any time I needed her. I cannot speak more highly of her and the business she has.

Melissa worked with me when no one else would. I’m so grateful to have found someone like her who is open to new ideas, willing to take on a challenge, talented, and wonderfully creative.I came to Melissa with an unusual request - to supply my own wedding flowers. My wedding venue was the nursery my dad built for my mom who grew Montana native plants for many years. I spent thousands of hours working alongside her and knew I wanted a wedding filled with the native wildflowers we devoted so much time to.Spending a day with my favorite people in the world in a venue built by my dad, brought to life my mom, and filled with flowers my mom, fiancé, and I planted was incredible. Melissa – thank you for helping make my wildflower wedding a reality.

Melissa and her team were amazing. They helped my organization out with a 3 day event at multiple locations. The flowers were stunning in every environment. Beyond the floral, Melissa was incredibly helpful with our décor, linens, flatware and glassware. I was working in Texas and I relied on her tremendously and she far exceed our expectations! I cannot recommend Earth Within Flowers enough.

Melissa did an amazing job with our wedding flowers. She made our vision for the wedding's color palette and floral vibe come alive, just with some mood boards I sent and a consultation call because she knows the right questions to ask and really tries to understand what you're looking for. We wanted a specific colorful palette with a more organic look, and she did an excellent job delivering on it. We loved the flowers so much that we packed as much as we could in our car the day after the wedding to take home with us. My mother-in-law even saved a little bud from it to press it into a necklace and gave it to me as a gift. Melissa herself is such a kind and warm person full of good vibes too. We were really thankful that we found her and that she was available for our wedding!

Melissa was incredible to work with! She answered all our questions, gave us great feedback on our ideas, and helped us navigate the wildness that was having a wedding during Covid. She ensured the entire process ran as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend Earth Within Flowers to anyone who needs floral work for any event!

Melissa is a stunningly talented floral designer of the highest rank.

Working with Earth Within Flowers while I visited Montana to photograph my dear friends' wedding was truly a beautiful experience. As someone who is not from the area, Melissa and her team were so kind to me on the day of, and made me feel so welcomed. Our clients' wedding day was truly out of a storybook... With the most romantic feel and every detail so intentionally placed. Melissa's calm energy is a beauty all its own, and to work with her was such a highlight of our trip. As a photographer who sees countless floral designs during a busy season of weddings, I can say that our bride's bouquet was so fresh that it lasted long-after our Adventure Session that we had in Glacier National Park the day after the reception. I look forward to working more with Melissa and the Earth Within Flowers team as we begin the process of moving to Montana ourselves within the coming year.
