Geranium Lake Flowers is a premier florist in the Portland metro area. The team, led by Kim Foren, is inspiring, charming and very creative. We didn't have to look anywhere but here because they value and price is unbeatable and they do the best work in town.

The flowers were beautiful and just how we pictured it, and it was really easy working with them to get the right flowers that we had in mind. I think it made our wedding a lot better, and their products really sell themselves.

Kim and her team at Geranium Lake are the best. B-E-S-T.You will not be disappointed. Amazing. Go to Geranium Lake if you are interested in commissioning an artist to create a masterpiece! That is exactly how I felt about my experience working with Kim. I still can't believe how beautiful she made our wedding. I provided her with a general idea of our (my!) wedding style and just let her roll with it. It's been about 6 months since the big day and when I look at our pictures I am in awe of how absolutely beautiful she made everything. I highly recommend Geranium Lake.

Kim was a delight to work with, she was both very responsive and warm. I had a vision and she definitley did everything to make that vision come to fruition. From the most amazing flower arrangements, individual flowers at each guest's placesetting to chair covers and lighting, Kim really did it all and made my day so magical! I would recommend her to any of my friends!

Kim Floren and team did an amazing job at my wedding. I had previously booked with another vendor for flowers which didn't work out. Kim took us on and immediatly created a vision for our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day which was perfect. The flowers were romantic, and grand. I recieved, and still am recieving compliments from guests saying that the flowers were the most beautiful they have ever seen. As a bride nothing could make you happier! The best part about working with Kim is that she is a true artist, you can trust that her fabulous and creative vision will translate into something that is perfect for your day. My favorite thing about the wedding, besides the groom :), was the flowers...and I have Kim to thank for that. Kim is the best and I will sing her praises to everyone who is planning a wedding!

We were so pleased. We was so impressed by how it took really minimal direction and input to get exactly what we wanted. I'm not a flower-guru, but Kim really helped me tease out what I was looking for. The whole process was so much easier than I anticipated and the flowers were just stunning. We had several guests who commented that they thought they might have been the most beautiful flowers they'd ever seen at a wedding---we certainly thought so!

I adore Kim and her staff at Geranium Lake Flowers. After seeing their work at a friends wedding, I had to have them do our wedding. I found Kim incredibly approachable, responsive and artistically brilliant. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted but at our first meeting, she helped organize my thoughts and offered excellent suggestions. I was working within a strict budget and Kim was able to stay under my budget without sacrificing quality. On the day of my wedding I was overwhelmed with joy when I saw the decor for the ceremony and reception rooms and the gorgeous arrangement of flowers. Every guest commented on how perfect the decor was and I owe it all to Geranium Lake! I don't think I've ever seen my mother so amazed. Their services extend further than just flowers. Kim arranged for the lighting package and table assignemts which were both to die for. I will be forever grateful for Kim and her team for making my day so memorable and for being supportive and reassuring every step of the planning process.

Geranium Lake did a fantastic job on the flowers for our wedding - they were beautiful! We planned a wedding living out of town and Kim made it very easy to work with her over the phone and over email on everything. I would definitely recommend Geranium Lake to anyone!

I knew the minute I met Kim this was the florist for me. I admired Kim's strong spirit and her expertise. In the midst of so many wedding decisions to make, it was wonderful to have a professional artist to guide me through this journey. Her taste is exceptional and you dont want anything less for your special day. Her creativity amazed us and did not go over our budget. On our wedding day, I looked out and my jaw dropped in awe. Geraniums flowers were even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. We were so impressed and everyone still talks about it being one of the most beautiful weddings ever! Thanks Geranium Lake

Kim was very down to earth and helped us narrow down exactly what we wanted. She not only helped in the overall design throughout the months, but she was a support when I was stressed and shared her lunch with me when I was hungry =). Many people said that our wedding was the nicest they have ever attended, and Kim contributed to this result.

The flowers were gorgeous. The service was pretty good; we didn't get three different types of centerpieces as agreed on; just two. And the owner was our contact person; she was very gruff and a bit unfriendly at times. At one point, she walked out the door and let it swing right in my mother's face! But the product itself was wonderful.

I found Kim's artistic temperment a bit hard to take at times BUT the flowers were beautiful and much admired at the reception. Communication is not Kim's strong suit.

When I first met with Kim she seemed very excited and interested in my wedding. She even got a little teary-eyed when I talked about how my husband and I had met. However, as the wedding date got closer and closer she took longer to return phone calls and emails. She told us she would be there on the wedding day to personally deliver the flowers and help set up. The price was definitely out of our price range but because she was so personable and offered her personal services on the wedding day we decided to sign with her. On the day of our wedding she did not show up but rather sent her assistants. The flowers were completely wrong and everything which we had talked about me hating ended up being what they brought. Because our wedding was on a friday they told me there was too much traffic to go back and trade out the flowers. The whole fiasco took so much time that we were late starting our pictures and didn't get nearly as many done as we had wanted. I also had to spend time taking apart many of the bouquets and redo them because they were not going to work with the colors in our wedding. We had talked about wrapping mine in white satin and instead it was wrapped in white tool with fabric clovers sewn in...nothing we had EVER talked about! My wedding coordinator who works at the place said this exact thing happened with the bride the weekend before with Geranium Lake. After the wedding in order to say sorry Kim sent me a centerpiece which was EXACTLY what was suppose to be at the wedding and a $500 refund. This was a slap in the face since the flowers were $5,000 and it showed me she knew what the flowers were suppose to be like. ARG...please don't ruin your wedding by using them. I had to suffer for it and I wouldn't want anyone else to! I wish I had gone with my second choice which was flowers exclusively by Wendy. Her flowers were incredible and I know she would have done an amazing job.
