Galleria Florist

I can't say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Galleria Florist for my wedding flowers! I only had an abstract idea about what I wanted the bouquets and arrangements to look like, and Alisa was able to guide me through the consultation process effortlessly and helped put words (and flowers!) to my vision, making suggestions I never would have thought of. She worked tirelessly to decorate our venue and I was absolutely floored when I saw the final product in place! Her artistry completely tied the whole space together and really took the setting to the next level. I loved being able to put my trust and creative control in the hands of Alisa, and it totally paid off. The arrangements from Galleria Florist truly helped make our wedding magical.

My experience with Galleria Florist was good, but not great. They were the cheapest florist I found (well, cheapest with good reviews), which is probably a large part of the reason. Their responsiveness was hit-or-miss -- I frequently had to follow up to get answers to questions. And when the bouquets arrived on the day of, I was disappointed. I did ask for a slightly lower price than what they had quoted me, but my disappointment had nothing to do with a few fewer flowers. First, there was hardly any differentiation between the bridal and bridesmaids' bouquets, aside from some tiny color differences, despite the higher price of the bridal bouquet -- they were all basically the same size, with subtle differences that I only saw because I already knew about them (in fact, that's the only way I was able to tell which one was mine). Second, I just didn't care for the bouquets. We had gone over the types of flowers to be used, of course, but the actual arrangement just didn't do it for me, which was disappointing given my careful curating of Pinterest photos that I had shared. (Pro tip: Don't just accept generic "premium greens" -- learn what types of greenery you like and specify those. One of the things I disliked most about my bouquet was some of the greenery used.) Now that I've gotten the negative stuff off my chest, there were things that I did appreciate about Galleria Florist. First, while I was meh about the bouquets, our altar arrangements were GORGEOUS! I was SO happy with those, and we got loads of compliments about them. Second, we semi-DIY'ed the centerpieces, which Galleria helped us with. Specifically, we got the main centerpiece flowers through Galleria, and after the flowers were ready (Galleria gets their flowers wholesale, so they need to "condition" them for a bit so the flowers don't look horrible), we picked them up and did the arrangements ourselves. Once those were done, Galleria stored them for us for a $50 fee and brought them to the wedding for us. So overall, like I said, good but not great.

I was really happy with my flowers for my wedding from Galleria. Carol was so great to talk to in planning my arrangements and was very flexible when I needed to make changes. The flowers were gorgeous and she put together a unique arrangement for me. Since my now husband is Australian, she even put in Australian greenery in our arrangements! It was a really nice touch. Prices are reasonable, and the flowers were perfect. They seem to be always busy, but we had no problems in having the flowers delivered for the wedding. I highly recommend them.

We did most of our flowers ourselves but we did need flowers and decor for the church. We went through two other awful florists before we finally found Galleria Florist. The owner was so sweet and seemed to genuinely care about our wedding and the feel we wanted. The flowers were more beautiful than I imagined when placed in the church. We will definitely recommend this florist and use them for special occasions from now on.
