When I saw the flowers at my wedding I cried they were so beautiful! Ganims took my vision and ran with it creating the most beautiful alter, center pieces, sweetheart table, cake touches, and more! Every piece Merrilee created was a stunning work of art! She surpassed my expectations by a landslide! I cannot thank her enough for creating the most breathtaking arrangements for my wedding!!!! I would definitely recommend Ganims to anyone who wants to have memorable floral arrangements for they special day!
Merilee from Ganim’s did our flowers for our August 3rd wedding and I can’t say enough good things about her! She was so personable,
She understood my vision within a few minutes of meeting me, and she was willing to work within our budget every step of the way. She even gave me a few ideas of how to save additional money because she knew I really wanted to use her! There was a few revisions to our our original quote and plan and she was flexible and responsive. Then the day of, the flowers arrived and I was stunned. The bouquets were beautiful but our centerpieces stole the show! Everyone was talking about them. We mixed high and low centerpieces and they completely flowed. We had cake flowers and I am still looking at those pictures of how amazing they were. Same with the small touches all over the venue, Merilee just got it! I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Merilee :)
Working with Merrilee at Ganim's was a dream. We knew we wanted all greenery but didn't know much more about florals. She knew exactly what we were looking for and took it to the next level. All while working within our budget. I didn't get the chance to meet the team the day of but if they're reading this, you guys killed it!
Thank you so much!
I went to Ganims with a picture of the boquet that I wanted. They did an amazing job selecting the flowers to create it. They did a great job with all the bridal party flowers.
If more stars can be given, I’d give them! Merrilee was beyond helpful throughout the whole process from fast responses to honest opinions to fair prices. She was one of the best vendors I’ve ever dealt with and would recommend her to everyone! Thank you so much Merrilee and Ganim for making our wedding day perfect!!
Simple review? LOOK NO FURTHER!
Detail reader? Merrilee and her team are the absolute best and I couldn't recommend them more. I didn't know flowers, I didn't know what colors I wanted. Or what my theme was. I couldn't really gave her much to go on but somewhere along our two brief meetings she created that image for me and then blew my mind with what she put together the day of the wedding. I didn't cry until I saw my peonies come in the door.

My family has used Ganims for my sisters wedding, mine, and now they help us make our new home look pretty (and are all super knowledgeable). I seriously cannot recommend them enough and would no go anywhere else!
Ganim's was amazing to work with for our wedding! Merrilee was SO helpful and responsive in getting us exactly what we wanted, I really felt like she "got" the look I was going for and everything was so beautiful and perfect. The whole team was friendly, pricing was very reasonable, and I felt like they went above and beyond for us. I highly recommend Ganim's for your wedding or special event!
My bouquet was perfect. Merrilee listened to what I wanted and created something so much more. Thank you!!!!!!
Phenomenal florist for your wedding needs! They work hard and work with you to get the perfect floral combination of your dreams! Whether it’s arbors or bouquets....They never make you feel pressured or overwhelmed , and they take all of your ideas no matter how extreme you think they might be and combine them to make something beautiful and your own! Just had my wedding on October 28th and I can’t tell you how many compliments I received on the arrangements! As a bride that had to be in control of everything I felt confident leaving Ganim’s Florist knowing everything was going to be exactly how I imagined! You won’t be disappointed!
We loved working with Merrilee and Ganim's! I had a budget in mind and not much else. Merrilee kept up with in budget and offered much needed guidance in the floral department to keep it local, in season, and gorgeous.
Merrilee at Ganim's florist made the boutonnieres, corsages, bridal and mother's bouquets for our wedding. We gave her a general idea of what we wanted with photos from Pinterest, trusting her judgement. Everything came out beautifully. We thought the price was on the high end, but not outrageous. We would definitely consider hiring her again for any future occasion.
Our wedding was July 30, 2017 at the Inn at Longshore in Westport, Connecticut. Our flowers were absolutely gorgeous and everything I had envisioned! The compliments from our guests were wonderful! My bouquet and table arrangements lasted a week past our wedding! Merrilee Ganim was fantastic and very attentive to all details!
We worked with Merrilee for our wedding and we can't say enough good things about the experience! Merrilee has a great eye and was able to bring my vision to life. Throughout the whole process, Merrilee was easily accessible via email, and was able to accommodate last-minute changes. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and I'm so happy with the finished product.
My husband and I were married on July 29th, 2017 and were so blessed to have worked with Merrilee and the rest of the staff at Ganim's! From the start, Merrilee was so helpful and easy to work with. She took all of my photos and ideas and worked them into a very affordable proposal. Even when I requested small changes, she responded and made adjustments in a very timely way. On the day of, the flowers could not have been more gorgeous. We received many compliments and we were so happy to have had such an amazing experience with Ganim's. If you are looking for professionalism, expert knowledge, and affordable yet beautiful flowers for an event- I could not recommend Ganim's more!
Merrilee and her team did an amazing job with my wedding flowers! From our first meeting, Merrilee was extremely easy to work with and understood exactly what I was looking for. She was super responsive throughout the entire process via email and was great at suggesting ideas/designs that fit my vision. On the day of, everything was perfect and even better than I had envisioned. I highly recommend Ganim's, you won't be disappointed!
Merrilee and her team at Ganims LITERALLY nailed it for our September 30th wedding. Their arrangements and bouquets were the talk of our guests. I gave very little direction for what I wanted and every centerpiece, bouquet and the arbor flowers had their own unique look and feel that were PERFECT for the venue. And to top it all off? It's almost November and one of my centerpieces dried perfectly and is still on my dining room table! Merilee made flowers one of my favorite processes for the wedding and I would recommend her to any and all of my friends for the future.
I have never been so happy with a vendor before in my life. My wedding was 9/24/16 at Burr Mansion and the flowers were stunning and at an amazing price!! I am still waiting on my photos from my photographer but I will post them on Ganim's Florist's Facebook so everyone can see just how beautiful they really were. Merrilee was on her maternity leave when I originally reached out and she literally let me know that she is in the hospital and just had a baby but she will get back to me tomorrow. She continued this AMAZING customer service throughout the entire year and turned my vision into reality without me being able to really explain it. I will recommend Ganim's too every single person I know getting married!!! You must use them!!!!! You will be so thankful you did!
Flowers really weren't my thing as a groom but I have to say I was so impressed with Merrilee and the folks at Ganim's. Their work went far beyond just flowers. They were so easy to work with and they helped our wedding day go off without a hitch. We got married in a sheeps meadow at a farm and they decorated the arbor beautifully. The cocktail hour area and tent were decorated in just a manner that it went perfect with our farm wedding. I highly recommend Ganim's for all Florist needs.
The flowers that Merrilee and her wonderful staff at Ganim's provided me with on my wedding day were absolutely perfect! I showed her some pictures at our first meeting, and she brought my ideas to life! They were perfect and lasted the entire night. They strive to make sure you are happy! In fact , a few days before my wedding I received an email with pictures of some of the flowers because she was afraid they weren't the colors I was hoping for! (Even though they were absolutely beautiful!) my wedding was perfect, and my beautiful flowers helped make it so wonderful!
We can't say enough great things about Ganim's Florist, we give them ten stars! There attention to detail was phenomenal and everything was decorated just perfect for our farm wedding. They even put small charms in my bouquet and they had photos of my father who has passed along with three of our dogs who are no longer with us. They decorated an arbor in the middle of the sheep meadow where our ceremony was and it looked beautiful. Our reception was under a tent which had six poles and they decorated each one. We didn't even think of doing that!!! The flowers for the girls were stunning and the guys even like theirs. We definitely recommend them and will use them for any event in the future!
Merrilee is SUCH a pleasure to work with!! She made the whole process so easy and was always super responsive which was such a big help!! She is totally willing to work with your budget and will make your venue look completely amazing!!! Her positive attitude is contagious!!! Can't say enough positive things about Merrilee!!!
Ganim's was fabulous! We worked with Merrilee and we were SO happy with or wedding flowers. Ganim's was so willing to work with us on our vision for our wedding day- types of flowers, colors, fillers, cost, delivery/setup, etc. They were super responsive and very helpful! You will not regret choosing them!
I got married in May and Ganim's Florist did such a beautiful job! Marilee really listened to what I wanted and worked with me to make sure my bouquets and centerpieces were exactly what I wanted. She brought my vision to life and I was so happy happier with the work her and her team did! I would highly recommend this florist to any couple getting married.
Ganim's florist did an AMAZING job on my wedding flowers. Everything came out even better than I had imagined. Merrilee was beyond helpful, she made the whole process much easier. She helped piece together all my ideas and vision.Everyone complimented on how beautiful the bouquets were and how gorgeous the centerpieces were. I highly recommend using them for your wedding, you will not be disappointed.
Merrilee and her team from Ganim's Florist was attentive, informative, and organized. I absolutely was obsessed with the centerpieces she designed. My bouquet was breathtaking. I highly recommend Ganim's Florist to anyone for any occasion.
Ganim's was amazing - there's nothing more to say! Merrilee was incredible to work with. Her and her team are so attentive to detail, care about the quality of their work, and just want to help you have the perfect day. I don't know much about flowers - all I knew was the look I wanted to create. She was able to articulate that look into the most beautiful table arrangements and flowers for the wedding party (which far surpassed what I could have even imagined). I don't know what I would have done without their help! I would highly recommend Ganim's florist - they are experts, professional, and not to mention, fun to work with (which can go a long way with the stress of wedding planning)!
We used Ganim's Florist for our wedding on July 18th, 2015 and from start to finish the process was flawless! We met Merilee back in the winter and she was very helpful in finding something that would fit our budget. The communication process was on going from there. She was great to give suggestions and advice on things we might try! As the day came, everything was perfect! The flowers were exactly what we wanted and the delivery was just as planned. Everything looked absolutely beautiful! I would recommend using Ganim's florist for your wedding if you are looking for an awesome yet affordable florist!
Merrilee at Ganim's is the absolute best, particularly for an indecisive person like myself. I knew when she did my sister's wedding a few years ago that I would as well for her great taste and creativity.
I had a million visions for a rustic-meets-elegant kind of theme and she couldn't have put my scrambled ideas together more beautifully. She is also so down to earth, funny, and made me feel like one of the Ganim family when I went there :) The rest of the team is also wonderful- thank you to Leah who fixed/sewed all of my table runners!
Merrilee was amazing! She oversaw my entire set-up for the reception and ceremony. I loved my bouquet. All the flowers at my wedding were gorgeous and exactly as I envisioned them!
Merrilee was so great to work with! Besides being very pleasant and down to earth, she has amazing taste! She took what I liked from many different pictures and somehow created exactly what I wanted. Even when I totally changed the plan for the centerpieces, Merrilee was just so excited about the new ideas. She was always very flexible and easy to talk to. I didn't think I cared much about wedding flowers, but they turned out to be one of my favorite parts of the wedding!
I absolutely loved working with Merrilee and the team at Ganim's Florist. Merrilee was so attentive, easy to reach, and made our wedding even more beautiful than I could have imagined! She transformed our venue into a romantic fall dream which was just breathtaking. I highly recommend using Ganim's Florist!!
Ganim's Florist perfectly captured my vision for the floral arrangements at my wedding. Merilee with Ganim's always knew exactly what I was trying to convey to her and did an absolutely breathtaking job on all of the flowers - from the church to the reception. She created the most elegant and romantic atmosphere and I could not have been happier with how everything turned out. I would highly recommend Ganim's Florist to all brides. Impeccable quality and design.
Merrilee was incredible! I met with a number of florists and she was by far the most authentic person I met. The others were nice but more expensive and spoke like they had their own ideas in mind, instead of creating what I had in mind. Merrilee and I just clicked and were on the same page during the whole process. She was truthful and was helpful in making cold decisions, instead of my usual stewing in a pot of indecisiveness. They handled all the flowers, the bracelet wrist corsages for all the special ladies who attended my wedding, the candles, the table arrangements, a beautiful bamboo trellis, the escort card table and the guest book table that was covered in candles, family photos and a custom made sign. They even took pieces of lace from my moms wedding dress to wrap around my bouquet! I can't wait to go back in the spring for my flowers!
I was so pleased with my flowers on our wedding day! Merrilee was wonderful to work with and made the whole process a pleasant experience. I highly recommend Ganim's Florist.
Merrilee and the staff at Ganim's truly made our wedding beautiful. I am still hearing compliments on how amazing the ceremony and reception looked thanks to Ganim's. I would not hesitate to recommend Merrilee and her staff for anyone looking for a florist. When I first went to Merrilee, I honestly had no idea what I wanted. She started a conversation with me and by the end of the appointment, she had it all figured out for me. Merrilee was able to design the look of my dreams without me even having to explain it in detail to her.
Thanks Merrilee and Ganim's for making our special day extraordinary!
Merrilee and Lynn, as well as the entire staff at Ganim's, were priceless in making our day as special as could be. Merrilee assisted us in color coordination and planning more than I could have ever imagined!! Lynn was also extremely helpful with coordinating our specific needs and wants!! I will never go anywhere but Ganim's Florist!
Merrilee Ganim was an amazing florist. She listened to what I wanted in my centerpieces and made them even better than I expected. I would highly recommend Ganim's Florist.
Ganim's was great working with. Merrilee was able to meet with me when I needed to meet with her and she was very friendly and accommodating. Her selection of flowers were just what I was looking for!
Ganim's was extremely easy to work with. Merrilee knew exactly what I wanted without much description. I made last minute changes and they were able to accommodate with no problems at all. My bouquet was the most beautiful one I've ever seen and I got countless compliments. My bridesmaids bouquets were unique and more the I imagined. I loved every detail that they were able to create. They were able to stay within my budget but it looked as if I spent much more. I couldn't be happier and would recommend them to everyone.
I cannot say enough nice things about Merrilee and the folks at Ganim's in Fairfield. She is so much fun to work with and has an incredible eye for colors and textures that work well together. My bouquet was everything I ever hoped for - she even included touches that she knew were so "me" without my having asked! Our centerpieces were sensational - we are still getting compliments!
My husband and I did not go with traditional floral centerpieces, but we needed our florist to help build them. Merrilee took that challenge and ran with it. The end result was a stylish and elegant centerpiece that people are still talking about. She also did the bouquets for myself and my girls, when she came to drop them off I just happened to meet her in the parking lot and she couldn't get the van opened fast enough for me to see them, I almost cried when she did. They were EXACTLY what I wanted. I know a bit about flowers and had a vision which Merrilee executed perfectly. She is easy to work with, creative and good for your budget. I love her and would use her again for any event I have.
Absolutely stunned!!!!! You always have a vision of what you want but since i am not a florist, I truly never know what to expect. Ganim's was patient with us and worked very closely and they ABSOLUTELY hit everything we were looking for!!!!!!
Unbelievable and we truly loved all of our arrangements, I could not of been happier!!! We have been still on a newlywed mode but Ganim's was in and out at the venue before we got there and I was just stunned, everything looked amazing. We never did get to say thank you as of week but we are so grateful!!!!!
We gave them the flowers we were looking for, the budget we had to stay in and they did a FABULOUS job!!!!!
I had Ganim's Florist arrange all my flower needs (center pieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, wedding cake flowers) and everything looked just beautiful. Merrilee Ganim is great to work with, she will make you feel at home from the first time you walk in. I highly recommend Ganim's Florist for ANY occasion.
Merrilee and her team are amazing. The flowers were perfect. Our photographer commented and said "these are some the most beautiful flowers I've seen!" and they truly were. She listened to our opinions and executed our vision with ease.
I LOVED this woman the moment I e-mailed her. Sweet, bubbly and creative, this woman was the BEST. We were on a tight budget and never ONCE did she try to upsell us or complain. She was just so flexible, wonderful and just the best. I don't know how to even begin to describe her. My mother, mother-in-law and aunt-in-law wanted to DIY some of the flowers and it was NO PROBLEM. Honestly, you gotta use Merilee. She will make your experience fun and stress free! The wedding day flowers were beautiful and perfect and just what I wanted. Thank you so much Merliee for making this process so wonderful for me!
Merrilee at Ganim's Garden Center and Florist was AMAZING to work with every step of the way. She thought of every little detail to make everyone feel special the day of the wedding. The flowers for both the rehearsal dinner and wedding were not just beautiful, but they were better than anything I wanted and could have asked for. She fulfilled all of my wishes and desires and then surpassed them. It was a lot of work with different arrangements for cocktail hour, table center pieces, all the bouquets, numerous different designs for the escort card table, gift table, mantles. The greatest thing Merrilee created for me was a lush archway for the ceremony. It was straight out of a fairy tale and so gorgeous that I couldn't help but be in awe of it during the ceremony! She worked hard to find me the best prices and affordable options to make my dream a reality.
I would recommend this place in a heartbeat! After reviewing what I wanted, I brought my list to other florists who were going to charge me 3x as much or more! I was able to talk to them at my convenience, and the flowers were beautiful! Great service!!!
I would highly recommend Ganim's to any bride!! Merrilee was an absolute pleasure to work with! My husband and I did not think we were going to be able to have flowers in our centerpieces at the wedding due to cost but Merilee made that happen for us! She really listened and took our budget into consideration! She was able to make us beautiful centerpieces that we loved at a price we could afford! She was very easy to contact and always stayed in touch whether it was just to say hi or to tell us the flowers came in! We were very happy with everything and as I said before I would highly recommend this company to anyone! : )
I got married in August of 2008. Working with Merrilee was one of the easiest, most fun and least stressful parts of planning my wedding. I had worked with one more florist before her who laughed condescendingly when I told her my budget and what I wanted (I knew nothing about flowers and I needed some guidance!), but Merrilee was supportive, helpful and gave me such great ideas that I got everything I wanted and more, for much less. She actually made some test arrangements for me based on what I told her I liked (which was a pretty poor description given, again, that I know nothing about flowers!), and I came in and we added, took away, rearranged and created the most beautiful centerpieces and bouquets I could ever have imagined. I would absolutely recommend her to any bride.
From the moment I sat down with Merrilee from Ganim's, I was completely confident in my choice. Merrilee was more than excited to tackle my very large wedding and worked with me the whole way. If there was one thing that I didn't stress about, it was the flowers!
Merrilee and her design team worked extremely hard to make our vision come true. Our wedding was a 'big, fat Greek wedding', so naturally our colors were blue, white and silver. Merrilee and her team spray painted flowers to get the silver element in as well as used lights in the arrangements. the bouquets were absolutely breathtaking... each one was perfect! Our cocktail hour was decorated with flower balls and the entrance hall welcomed guests with a custom made willow tree. Each table had a unique centerpiece in a variety of different vases that Merrilee tracked down for us. The centerpieces were placed on a mirror with votives and flowers all around them. People are still talking about my flowers!
Merrilee and her team had quite a task in getting all the flowers to the church, our houses where we were getting ready and to the reception. Everything was delivered on time (even early!) and set up perfectly.
I have already recommended Ganim's to two friends who received similar excellent services. I highly recommend Ganim's Florist to any bride! Merrilee worked with me on every detail...you deserve the same stress free experience!!
Ganim’s florist was the perfect choice for my wedding flowers. Merrilee and her team drove 2+ hours to deliver my flowers to RI. Not to mention it was for a ceremony that started at 11:00AM. Merrliee was so great; she was in constant contact with me, letting me come in to preview my flowers as many times as I wanted. She even arrived earlier than expected and called me to let me know the flowers had arrived. My bouquets were larger than expected - she didn’t skimp on them at all. My wedding coordinator even commented that my bouquet was the best she had ever seen. Merrilee even took care of organizing bouquet preservation for me. I would highly recommend Ganim’s florist for all your flowers!
