"I have high praise for Loretta Klausman, owner of Dogwood Lane Custom Silks. First and foremost, she listened and asked question to discover what my daughter and I wanted since my daughter’s wedding was a destination wedding. Loretta secured items we would need to take to the Dominican Republic where the wedding was held. Before the wedding, Loretta designed and installed an amazing Jack & Jill Wedding Shower at my home. Set up was quick, with care paid to the placement and location of flowers.  Her prices were fair and competitive with that of fresh floral arrangements. I have beautiful silk flowers that will last a good many years. My guests were so complimentary and impressed with the look Loretta created that many took her business cards. I especially liked the fact that Loretta followed up after the party to be sure I was satisfied. I highly recommend Dogwood Lane Custom Silks."

"My in-laws from Germany were coming for Christmas and I wanted to surprise them with a traditional, authentic advent wreath. Dogwood Lane Custom Silks did all of the work for me. From researching the wreath’s history, meaning, customs, even traditional prayers were printed and included in the creating of a beautiful, elegant and life-like wreath I can proudly display for years to come. From my first discussion with Loretta to receiving my finished wreath carefully packed in a protective storage container; Dogwood Lane Custom Silks exceeded all of my expectations."

"When you order a floral piece from Dogwood Lane designer Loretta Klausman, you truly have a custom work that fits your décor beautifully. Loretta works with you and discusses all aspects of your project. She was able to utilize my crystal, china and silver to make unique pieces that fit my style perfectly. She consulted me at every step of the project and gave me many choices. She installs your finished piece and shows you any design modifications you can make. I can’t wait to order my next designer arrangement."

"Dogwood Lane Custom Silks made our dream of a 1920s wedding come true. We received endless compliments from friends, family, and even other vendors who were impressed with the romantic and glamorous ambience they created at our ceremony and reception. Loretta went above and beyond my expectations for a florist; she created the exact atmosphere I’d envisioned. Our working relationship was immensely helpful in that she listened to all my ideas, translated them into designs, and then involved me at each step so that we could play around with our ideas until everything looked like I wanted it to. I greatly appreciated how much research and time Loretta devoted to finding creative ways to make all the designs fit my budget. Furthermore, since she took the time to ask about so many wedding details, she was able to coordinate the décor, attire, and all other visuals at our venue to play off each other and bring our theme to life. This attention to detail was a comfort and relief, because Loretta was able to advise me as I chose elements outside her designs –such as the cake, venues, reception linens, accessories, etc.- so that the wedding looked like one over-arching design vision. Loretta’s level of personal attention, organization, and enthusiasm put me at ease at what might have been a very stressful time and allowed me to be enjoying my beautiful wedding. I couldn’t have planned the wedding without her! ."
