How Lily + Luxe Is Unique

One of the biggest differences between Lily + Luxe and other design firms is our practice of using a fully transparent design fee structure. No unclear project parameters or hidden design fees. The result is; clients feel at ease with the project process and we root the company in a foundation of honesty and integrity.
