I cannot say enough about Giti and the flowers at my wedding. My fiancé and I planned an out of town wedding and we live about 7 1/2 hours away. During our planning process, our previous florist didn't treat my parents, me, or my fiancé with re...spect or consideration. She threatened to not provide service 3 times before we decided that it just wasn't worth dealing with. So 2 months before my wedding, in a completely stress filled frenzy, I started to look for florists again.
All I can say is thank goodness for Giti. She told me right from the get-go that everything was going to be OK, that she was going to make sure our flowers were perfect. She was able to fit me in for a consult within a few days’ notice (I flew in from out of town), brought a sample centerpiece to my mom and dad's house, AND she even brought my ceremony/reception flowers to our hotel that night so they would be there for our brunch the following day!! I cannot say enough about Giti. She was the kindest, most professional, caring person I could have dealt with and I only wish I had found her from the get-go.
She got to the venue before I did, had all of the tables set up (they took my breath away), and stayed there right until I started to walk down the aisle (she even took a video of me right before I walked down so I had that moment with my dad recorded).
In regards to the actual flowers. My bouquet was the most stunning bouquet I have ever seen. I wish I could insert a picture right here because I would. She was able to get the anemones with the dark-blue centers for me, which every other florist told me they wouldn't be able to get (since they were out of season, we had a July wedding). She was able to provide advice, suggest flowers/colors, show me her own work examples, and even sent me pictures the day of/before of our actual flowers that she was going to use.
I had so many people at the wedding comment on the centerpieces, altar pieces, boutonnieres and of course, my bouquet. Her flowers truly gave me the feel that I wanted - romantic, classic, sophisticated. She was able to do all this within the budget that I told her we needed to stick by and never once tried to tell me to spend more than we could.
I would advise everyone to use Botanica and Giti. I have to say the flowers she did for us were one of my favorite parts of our wedding. Thank you Giti, you're just the best!
