I’ve worked with Gary and Michael several times professionally, but was still blown away with what they did for our wedding. The bouquets exceeded our expectations and they kindly catered to unique needs such as small bouquets for the mom and the church vase size. 10/10 would recommend!
To say going with Flowers by Gary for our wedding was a great idea would be an understatement, they were amazing. From the very start when most others were doing consultations via emailed pictures or video calls with Covid going around, these guys brought us in (taking precautions). They got to know us a little, what we had in mind and gave us their suggestions but weren't pushy about it. They asked about my dress with my fiance sitting next to me so they could get a good idea of how to do my bouquet, I just said a few words that I knew wouldn't give it away and they totally got me. At the start we didn't want reception decorations and unlike some florists and they didn't try to change our minds. They showed us plenty of photos to help us make the decisions we needed and it was almost like we were family chatting with them.
They checked in monthly to let me know they'd be charging my card and see if we needed anything else which alleviated some stress. About 5 weeks before the wedding I found out one of my bridesmaids let us know she wasn't able to make it I sent them an email about making a minor change and had a call within hours. For a very small price change we removed the one bouquet and added single rose vases to the reception tables which came out gorgeous. Everything they did was simple yet elegant which is what we dreamed of. They checked in with me a few times the week before the wedding to make sure we were all set, I mentioned possibly needing petals for our cake and wanting to tie something in to my bouquet so of course they showed up early to the venue on wedding day and took care of everything there. I HIGHLY recommend Flowers by Gary, from the pricing, to the flowers to the customer service, these guys are the best.
Thank you again so much Michael and Gary!!
When my son and his fiancé started planning their November 2020 wedding, they asked who I thought should do their flowers. Immediately, I thought of my friends, Gary and Michael of "Flowers by Gary." From the first meeting with Gary, the flower planning was a delight. They worked with us through the pandemic and necessary change in the wedding date to March 2021, without hesitation. They were professional, knowledgeable, courteous and most of all "KIND" working with us through this major change and hectic time. Their love of flowers and the importance in choosing just the right color and design to complete our vision, was awesome. They took our suggestions and used their expertise to design exactly what the Bride and Groom wanted for their special day. The day of the wedding, the delivered flowers were amazing, the design, color freshness and overall beauty of these "Works of Art" made everything look perfect. Not only did we love them, but many of our guests commented on how beautiful they were and asked who had created them. Since most of the wedding party was from out of town and unable to take their bouquets home with them, to my delight, I was given most of them to to take home. For more than a week, I was able to continue to enjoy their fresh garden beauty in my own home, thanks to my my friends, Gary and Michael of "Flowers by Gary. I hope everyone reading this review will choose to make them part of their wedding or special occasion memories. You will love them and their floral creations.
Michael and Gary are the kindest people, and we loved supporting someone local. They helped bring my dream to life, talking me through different options and showing great expertise & talent. All the flowers decorations the day of were absolutely amazing, and they're totally willing to work within budget. I hope I'll be able to enlist their business again in the future!!
Beyond our expectations! We have known Gary & Michael for several years and would not have chosen anyone else!
We had 5 gorgeous centerpieces, the most amazing hand tied cascading bridal bouquet with Bird of Paradise and Lilies.
They offered ideas based on our theme and we were so very pleased!
Thank you!
Michael and Gary were an absolute delight to work with! I knew I wanted to carry daffodils and tulips, and with that information (and a couple inspiration photos), they built the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces. Gary was also incredibly proactive in communicating a potential issue the day before the wedding. I would absolutely recommend Flowers by Gary and I will be using them for all my future floral needs.
Gary and Michael helped to make our wedding a beautiful and magical day! Working with both of them to create our florals was easy and fun. They worked hard to make my vision a reality and made it all fit within my budget. All of the flowers were fresh and vibrant, making the venue and our wedding party look beautiful. Both Gary and Michael are great at communicating with you and working with you to make your special day a dream come true. Thank you for everything you did! We love looking back at pictures and seeing the beautiful flowers!
Gary and Michael are so professional, caring and courteous. They were able to create beautiful bouquets and an arrangement for my cake without it being so costly like most florists. Everyone, including myself, were very pleased. They won my vote. I will continue to use them whenever I need a florist. Thanks for being a part of my day.
Gary and Michael are a fabulous team to work with. My husband and I were clueless about flowers but they took minimal ideas from us and somehow created more than we could've ever imagined. They were so fun and personable. They went above and beyond to add small touches of detail the day of and to make sure all of our needs were met. Can't recommend enough!
I cannot give Gary enough praise. He did such a wonderful job with our wedding flowers. By the time I got to the chapel on our wedding day, he already had everything delivered and set up. My husband said that Gary was able to pin a boutonnier in about five seconds. The flowers were beautiful! He was very patient with me about picking the color of the roses - I wanted a particular shade of orange and was being difficult. Pricewise, he was in the average range of wedding florists. We got married in January, so did not have many less expensive options from which to choose. I was impressed with the quality of flowers he was able to provide in January. I would recommend that EVERY bride use Flowers by Gary!
Before meeting with Flowers by Gary, my husband and I met with several florists that all said EXACTLY the same thing about their ideas for what would work for our wedding. My husband and I are not a "cookie-cutter" couple; therefore, this was very frustrating for us. When we sat down with Flowers by Gary they actually listened to what we wanted for our wedding day. Their ideas mixed traditional with our style, and definitely did not fit into the cookie-cutter mold of the other florists that we met with. They were extremely professional and they were a joy to work with. Our flowers were beautiful!
We LOVED Flowers by Gary!! Gary and Michael were both very helpful during our first meeting. They showed us pictures on their computer as well as pulling actual flowers out to show us what colors would look like together. They were much more personable than other florists we met with. We had a fall farm wedding and they were able to add the perfect accent pieces to fit our setting. They were also very prompt with answering e-mails with any questions we had.
Absolutely perfect flowers. I am not a huge flower person and when i first met with Gary and Michael i told them I wasn't into flowers just wanted simply but elegant. They put things together perfect even the aisle full of rose petals!!!
What a wonderful team of florists. this was by far the easiest and most pleasent experience i had during the wedding planning process. and on the day of i was amazed at how beautiful all the flowers turned out, they really set off the whole theme and feel. Gary and his team do a wonderful job listening to your vision and what you want and putting it all together. And may i add that they are affordable. Great communication and flexibility. If you live in the raleigh/durham area, please use flowers by gary, you will not regret it!!
