Gardenias Floral Design

we wanted! They were incredibly helpful with providing suggestions on flowers and centerpieces to make our vision come to life. I would highly recommend them!

so easy to communicate with. We even rented all of our candle holders from Gardenias so we wouldn’t have to purchase and travel with things we’d never use again. Angela made a cute ribbon wand that our flower girl loved, and even made a special flower collar for our dog. I would absolutely recommend working with Angela and the team at Gardenias!

with throughout the entire process, and they always went above and beyond when it came to customer service. Perfection!

the ceremony, or the transformation of our reception space with their attention to detail on every table and centerpiece, I truly could not have been happier. The florist is often the biggest factor in how the wedding looks, and Gardenias out-did themselves. Thank you for taking the time to explain all of my options and giving me suggestions as to what looks the best during our initial meeting and then being willing to work within our budget. I can't imagine anybody but you being our florist for our big day!

wish I could attach photos to truly show how wonderfully they made my vision come to life! Would highly recommend!

looking for, but they exceeded our expectations and made it better than I could have imagined/created!! I absolutely loved my bridal bouquet and the arbor flowers they put together, as well as the center pieces!! Thanks for everything ladies!!

ny complements on my bouquet <3. Thank you for being part of my PERFECT wedding! xoxo

exactly what I wanted and what worked in our venue. It was awesome to work with her, and she made it so low stress. She also did a phenomenal job dealing with really bad weather. We had planned to be married outside, but the weather was miserable. She and her team were able to move everything inside quickly and made it look beautiful. Also, I have to say, the flowers looked much more expensive than they were. I wish all our vendors had done as good a job a Angela and Gardenias did.

se time and I felt I wasn’t just another client/wedding. Highly recommend Gardenias’s!

AWE on our wedding day, everywhere we turned the flowers were more beautiful than the last arrangement and the compliments from guests were through the roof. From start to finish, they were fun to work with, had great suggestions, were professional and excited about our event. Not once did I feel like a number, but felt like they took our wedding on as if we were some of their best friends and were available the entire process. I can't recommend them enough. Danyel has an incredible eye for design, and took photos I gave her from Pinterest and blew them out of the water. We feel so grateful they took our wedding on, and couldn't be happier and more impressed with all they did. THANK YOU gardenias for all your hard work, it did not go unnoticed and the guests were blown away by how stunning all the arrangements were. We love you guys!

few! Everything looked amazing and the delivery service was so flexible and came to multiple locations to get our flowers to us! We couldn't thank them enough for all their effort!

at all focused on flowers for our wedding - except for the fact that we didn’t want them to be “eh” looking. But we did not want to allocate a ton of our budget to flowers and we were straightforward about that with Gardenias from the beginning. Obviously we still spent more than we had planned for (because we basically planned for like $1 if you ask my now husband Brian haha), BUT, whatever we did spend was WELL worth it. Angela is so patient, she (and her team) listens to you, doesn’t tell you your ideas are wrong, does provide suggestions, but does listen if you say no you’re not into one thing or another. She is BEYOND thoughtful, creative, and artistic. And adaptable - our arbor flowers were supposed to go on our sweetheart table and ended up being too big so she wrapped them around the tent poles instead - without making any kind of issue about it to us - and it looked awesome. We were also able to use the flowers from the rehearsal dinner for our cocktail hour, and they wrapped up the bridesmaid bouquets for us at the end of the reception, which we then used for day after brunch. (We’d still be using them now for one thing or another if we didn’t live in Boston - they were beautiful.) Gardenias will make your day easier and will make it absolutely gorgeous. I honestly didn’t think people remembered the flowers at other people’s weddings, but we’ve continued to receive a ton of compliments on the flowers, specifically - a week later. If it comes down to making a budget decision about forks napkins plates chairs chargers or flowers just go with the flowers and book Gardenias if you can. No one remembers the chairs. And they are the best - we couldn’t be happier or more surprised at how happy we are/were with them.

fore hiring this company.

erences with colors and flowers. The bouquet and boutonnieres were the perfect color scheme for what my husband and I had envisioned, and the floral decor that was added was a perfect intimate touch. While there was not much space for decoration with the venue we were at, we plan on having a larger reception in the future for more friends and family and will DEFINITELY be using Gardenias Event Floral's services again! Angela's intuitive ability to design a floral scheme for the perfect wedding and enthusiasm throughout the process made our day that much more special!

with an employee and was told I would be called back for a consultation. No one called back and I had to call them but I thought, simple small mistake. During the consultation I was asked all the questions I had already filled out on the questionnaire. Halfway through I informed the young lady that I had already given all this information. She assured me that she would then in an hour provide me with an estimate. 4 days later I still haven't gotten the estimate. More red flag! I call and inquire and was told, oh our mistake we misspelled your email address. I was told by different employees that the flowers could be delivered, then no we cannot deliver. After I paid in full the invoice, I asked if I needed to do anything and they asked for the address to deliver the flowers??? As I was doing some last minute checks, I noticed that the Arbor post flowers were not on the estimate. More red flags... I noticed and emailed them to inquire as maybe I overlooked that. No response. I called the next day and asked to speak with a manager and talked with Danyell. Danyell was the second person I spoke with about our order. She informed me that yes, she had wrote in her notes but that Chelsea had written her estimate up for her and she forgot to add the line item. I requested some sort of discount and Danyell needed to speak with Angela. Chelsea emails me back saying this is the price, let us know if you want to move forward ($500 more). I then call and speak with Angela, who states, "well you looked at the invoice and emailed back that it was ok." I did, but I had spoken twice about it with two different employees. When I skimmed over the estimate, I didn't think I had to fine tooth it. Angela, had an attitude, told me it was going to take a few days to get a refund check written because she was so busy because she didn't know where her employees were, the mail doesn't work for my refund check, argued about the alternate location to take my refund check, and when she thought she hung the phone up she called me a, "Bitch". Taking my business else where.

using Gardenias - gorgeous designs and lovely folks!

truly stand out. The entire team is wonderful and made our wedding a dream come true. The bouquets were impeccable (I couldn't stop staring at them) and the small touches were so thoughtfully executed. Highly highly recommend!

highly recommend them for your wedding- they will exceed all expectations!!

with them. Terry did an amazing job on the flowers! He is soooo talented! The flowers were gorgeous and exactly what I wanted! I can’t say enough about how wonderful they are!!

re than a week at my home, so I have been able to enjoy it (and the memories of our wedding day) for 10 days. I am thrilled that I chose them and would highly recommend to anyone doing an event in the area. I planned everything from out of town, and it couldn't have been easier.

gorgeous!) Not only did they deliver beautiful flowers, but working with Dakotah and Terry was a dream! They were both so accommodating and easy to work with. They really helped to make an overwhelming time much easier. They sat down with us to discuss the overall look and price range, then they worked to make your dream turn into a reality. In addition, they are up-front and honest about the costs of certain flowers! I would definitely recommend Gardenias to anyone planning a wedding in the HHI area! :)

t flying home with comments on how beautiful my bridal bouquet was 4 days after the wedding!

as made it. When we wanted to show our wedding coordinator how much we appreciated her, Gardenias made her an incredible bouquet. Everything was perfect. We would work with them a million times over. Thank you to Terry and Dakotah for making our wedding magical. We are so grateful. Do not go with anyone else. If you go somewhere else, you'll regret it. Gardenias is the best.

m so happy we chose to use their them for our wedding :) I highly recommend them!!!

by going out of their way to allow me to have Peonies for my wedding. I can't even begin to count and number of compliments I received on all the flowers for my wedding. Guests were saying that my floral arrangements and bouquets were the prettiest they have EVER seen at a wedding. I planned our wedding in Hilton Head from our home in Pennsylvania. Dakotah made the process SO EASY for me and was an absolute delight to work with. Gardenias truly goes above and beyond and I could just rave for hours about them. Thank you ladies so much for everything! You made my wedding an absolute dream. This isn't goodbye but see you next time we are in town! -Megan & Morgan Brgoch

knew I was in great hands. I told him our color ideas and some flower ideas and he ran with it. He put together gorgeous centerpieces, bouquets , flower girl head band and the list could go on. I couldn't hug him and his assistant Dakotah enough. They stayed within our budget and made everything beyond perfect. If I could give them more than five stars I would. Thank you again! Melissa and Joe

ess, Terry created the most beautiful arrangements that fit so perfectly with the vision I had in my mind. And I cannot say enough about how special my bouquet was. He incorporated some family heirlooms and other personal touches that had me in happy tears. The team at Gardenias is amazingly responsive and organized, and we could not be happier that we were able to work with them for our wedding. They made our wedding absolutely stunning!

ia's was recommended to me by my cake vendor, Sweet Carolina Cupcakes as they were the florists she used in her own wedding. I had a gut feeling to trust her opinion and am I ever glad I did. Both Terry and Dakotah were absolute charms to work with on every level...design, budget, etc. They did such an amazing job working with me to make my floral dreams come true within my budget. They were always extremely friendly and upbeat regardless of how insanely busy I am positive they were. They are a perfect model of how customer service should be and exactly who you would want to be handling details on such an important day. The arrangements took my breath away when I saw them. Even my now husband and his brothers were blown away. Yes, you read that right, brothers.When flowers are so impressive even the guys take notice that should speak volumes. They were spectacular and completely made our reception tables. Circle of Life Plant Rental & Gardenia's Event Floral should absolutely be your one stop shop for any event. Seriously, save your time and don't even bother looking anywhere else. Amazing people, breath taking floral arrangements, and fantastic customer service.

ocess. As an out of state bride it was a bit nerve wracking to choose vendors, but I had seen their work and knew I wanted them do our wedding florals! Terry was able to meet with us the Monday before our wedding, and put any worries I had at ease! He saw my vision and put it to life with his amazing talent!! We got so many compliments on the beautiful arbor pieces, bouquets, and arrangements they created for us!! I would not of changed a thing!! :) Thank you again to Terry, Dakotah, and the amazing Gardenias team!!! You all are the best!

d his team delivered a bouquet even more beautiful than I could even imagine! They truly embodied our goal of a classic southern elegance.

ures had the same exact "vision/theme" that I was going for!! He hit every detail right on the nose, showing me exactly what I was wanting!! I knew I was going to be in the best of hands. During the whole process of planning, I wanted to change my cake design with the florals and he was super helpful. I had also asked 5 Days before our wedding if they could make a floral crown for rehearsal. He was so quick to respond and was able to make it happen. Their team is amazing and I couldn't image our day without them! It was beyond perfect!!

re everything I could have imagined, I mean it. They are so sweet and were fun to work with. I would highly recommend them to any couple, corporate organization or social organization. Thank you all so much for everything!

rk is purely beautiful and they are so easy to work with.

to work with, very friendly, and easy to get along with. So glad we found them!

agine. They worked with my budget with no hassle. We added and removed things multiple times and each time they were happy to do so. We had an initial consultation in October for an April wedding that set an excellent tone for the next few months. The team communicated very well through email at every turn. They arrived the day of the wedding and everything was amazing. They even hand delivered bouquets to ensure I was happy. When I arrived at the wedding location, the arbor, the tables, and the flowers on the cake were just so beautiful! ABOVE and BEYOND! I cannot express what a pleasure they were to work with and you would be doing yourself a disservice by not hiring them for your event.

o help me find looks that were within our floral budget. The bridesmaid and bridal bouquets were gorgeous-- I have to say that we were even MORE impressed (if that's possible) with the ceremony arrangements, which truly were beautiful. We ended up getting so many compliments on the flowers!

lanning process with them was such a breeze and they were very accommodating. Look no further - you will be in wonderful hands with Gardenias!

beyond thrilled with Terry and the arrangements he did. He really listened to us, looked at the photos we sent to him, there is not a single thing we would have changed. Our flowers were perfect. I could not have been more excited the morning of our wedding to see how everything I had imagined turned out. I highly recommend A+++++

cial. They worked hard to get us the most gorgeous flowers for my entire wedding and everything was amazing! We ordered all of our wedding flowers, and even rented their gorgeous lanterns and centerpieces. I could never have imagined such a gorgeous bouquet and the flowers for the wedding were insane! Terry was so friendly and helped me throughout the entire process. Anyone looking for a good florist, who knows how to really make a wedding extra special needs to contact them. I rarely recommend anyone, but they went above and beyond to make our day extra special!!

at I was going to have to move locations due to Hurricane Matthew damage. We decided on Amelia Island. I called Gardenia's right away to let them know that we would have to cancel. But to my surprise, they were completely on board to drive the 3 hours down to Ameila Island to still provide flowers for our wedding!!!! Completely incredible and I am so grateful that we were still able to use their beautiful arrangements for our wedding! They were absolutely stunning! Thanks so much!

on time. I would highly recommended them!!

& we are so happy with our experience with Terry at Gardenias!!

ct garden sculpture - walking inside was like a wonderland of beauty. Simple, elegant - a little rustic exactly like we wanted. There were a few loved ones that were no longer with us - Angela created a beautiful, thoughtful memory bouquet to put near the dock the wedding party arrived at. The bouquet? Unbelievable. Tears of joy erupted when I saw it! Beyond my dreams - better than my vision - she artistically created a treasure - filled with my favorite flowers and colors along with the rhinestone brooches I had collected and added her own touch of glitz that made me not want to let it go! I carried it with me as I visited our guests. In choosing Gardenia's - you will find an exceptionally experienced and helpful team. You will also find a team of artists, who make you as welcome as their best friends when you walk in the shop!

and stress-free. They were also the most affordable of the florists I reached out to. Would highly recommend Gardenias for a custom, friendly, and beautiful floral experience!

examples, and making sure to cover all of the bases of what all I needed. I was sent an invoice with every detail of what to expect and verified twice before the wedding to make sure everything was perfect. On the wedding day, I was incredibly busy most of the day, and when I arrived to the wedding, all the bouquets and decorations were ready to go in time for photos before the ceremony. They were breath-takingly beautiful. Every little detail was just amazing. I absolutely recommend Gardenia's for your wedding or event. I felt very comfortable and confident leaving the decorating to them. They do not disappoint!

g such an exorbitant amount of money on flowers. I just couldn't do it. I was honestly going to just try and find a way to do them myself.... but then decided to give one more place a try: Gardenias. The flowers Gardenias did for my wedding ceremony (held in a Catholic church) and also for the reception were not only everything I dreamed of and so much more, but, honestly, just absolute perfection. They completely surpassed all of my hopes and dreams. Gardenias took the time and went above and beyond to make sure things looked just right. I got so many compliments from my guests and other vendors. These wonderful people were SO easy to work with, too!! Very convenient and prompt communication (any question, concern, idea, detail--anything!--they were super fast to respond and super sweet via email, and they made sure to check and double check everything as my big day got closer), their flexibility with changes and tweaks and helping out, and a true desire at heart to make sure the client is very happy (although happy is an understatement!) are just some of the many things that made them exceptional. I was nervous at first because I wasn't sure I had given enough detail or could give them a full picture of what I really imagined in my mind.... but they blew me away with what they did and made everything so much MORE than what I could've ever asked for!! I felt so valued, appreciated, and well taken care of. Their costs are beyond reasonable, especially for the stunning flowers they arrange and how well they take care of you. I only wish I had given them a chance FIRST! You are in great hands with Gardenias! They are truly the best!

and listened to exactly what I asked. I never met with them in person, but the flowers were amazing! If you want someone who is going to work with your budget, be quick to respond, and put together beautiful arrangements, Gardenias is the way to go!

expected. They were easy to work with and were very creative without a lot of direction from us (e.g. came up with a drift wood display for our dessert table).

utiful table arrangements. My questions were always answered and their work made our wedding spectacular.

, and gave her an idea of what I wanted, and she took my ideas above and beyond my expectations. They added additional touches to the table that just completed the look and made it look amazing! I cannot describe how much beauty was added to our weddings with the flowers. The center pieces, alter pieces, and the wedding bouquets were al gorgeous. My bouquet made me feel even more beautiful. We received so many compliments on the floral decorations at the wedding. I can't thank them enough for everything they did for us! They made our wedding absoutley beautiful!

the ceremony, the reception and the dinner tables were exquisite. We were all astounded at the flowers’ quantity, beauty and freshness. The glass vases and candles were artfully arranged and the flowers (all white of many varieties) still looked beautiful a week later. Gardenias did superb job. We were particularly entranced with the way they did the flowers in flat-bottomed vases on the wedding aisle chairs because they looked great and we were able to repurpose them to decorate the house afterward. A Gardenias consultant made a visit to our garden ahead of time and made many helpful suggestions , for example, adding café lights on the porch (which Gardenias did not supply), which added beauty to the overall setup. We appreciate the Gardenia consultants professionalism and flexibility; we changed our order several times and they always reacted accurately and efficiently. I highly recommend Gardenias.

s missed. I was initially concerned as the Bride was not able to meet with the Nancy and it was left up to me to transmit her wishes and then for Nancy to interpret. We looked at Pinterest boards together and wrote many emails...everything was BEYOND my expectations. These ladies are not only consummate professionals, they are a joy to work with. This is our second wedding using Gardenias (first was last year) and we would never consider using anyone else!

and won't be rude to you!

that thinks outside the box and want something non-traditional, go with them! They are really nice and fun to work with too!

tood the look I was wanting. I didn't have all the details worked out in our initial first meeting, so we exchanged emails to work out the rest. We had a small fall wedding and the flowers I wanted weren't complicated. I wanted dark purple and orange calla lillies for the bridal party and large potted mums for the reception. I found a couple of weeks before the wedding that Nancy had a medical issue and was out of the state. What I didn't realize that all the emails and details Nancy and I discussed weren't kept in my file and had not been shared with anyone. So, the wrong color calla lillies were ordered...they didn't have the calla lillies for my cake...they didn't have the large potted mums - so they ordered stemmed mums and made small mum arrangements. The girls were super nice and trying to make the best of a bad situation. I was concerned because I had centered the reception colors around the dark purple and orange. I found myself later crying in the bathroom (probably due to all the stress). I kept thinking why am I getting upset they're just stupid flowers. What I didn't know is the groom and his mother were working behind the scenes with them to get it corrected and have the right colored flowers shipped overnight. The bridal party flowers turned out great after the right ones were shipped. The stemmed mums were small and okay. They didn't have the fall feel to them like I was hoping. I really liked the lanterns they provided for the outdoor ceremony and reception tables. The petals for the walkway and fountain looked great as well as the urns flanking the fountain. Overall most mistakes were corrected...but I feel that the mums were lacking a little and didn't look like what we spent. The staff was very sweet, but I think our wedding was one that slipped though the cracks for them.

er decorations than that!), and we didn't really know what kinds of flowers we liked, or what was in season, or what colors we wanted. But Nancy spent a lot of time talking to us and looking at photos with us, making notes of what we like and what we don't, and came up with the most glorious flower arrangements. She also stayed pretty well within our budget. Overall, we were really pleased with her work!
