If you look @ the documentation you'll see that the second parameter is the label.

Thanks for replying. I looked at the documentation very closely. The second parameter is not the label, it's the default value of the form element being created.

{{ Form::text('first_name', null, ['class' => 'someclass']) }}

That was very helpful. Thank you for sharing the solution with us shekarsiri I wish the Laravel docs were more comprehensive. Seems to be missing chunks of info esp in the api documentation.
