The team at Gardenias did an incredible job with our wedding flowers. They executed my vision perfectly and also used their artistic talent to make our flowers more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. The attention to detail was remarkable.
Gardenias was also very patient and flexible with us as we made multiple changes during the planning process. They were respectful of our budget and helped us to move ceremony flowers so they could also be used at the reception. Every arrangement was absolutely gorgeous. You truly do get what you pay for.
Omg! Gardenias did an absolutely stunning job for our wedding at the Westin in Hilton Head. We had some last minute restrictions from the venue and Feven our design lead did not skip a beat! She swiveled and it was breathtaking seeing the final results. We were worried since she had to make a last minute change and find a way around the restrictions but she reassured us every step of the way. Her and the team nailed the look we were going for. It was very elegant, classy, and everything we could have hoped for. Seeing the reception space for the first time I was in awe and when we got some of our wedding pictures back seeing the ceremony space and bouquets for first time before all the guests arrived… it was an absolute dream. Thank you
We were overwhelmed with gratitude and admiration for the exceptional experience provided by the Gardenias Floral Design team and our lead Feven. If you're seeking to transform your special day into a symphony of natural beauty, look no further.
From the very beginning, our journey with Feven and Gardenias Floral Design was marked by professionalism, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to turning our floral dreams into reality. Their expertise in floral arrangements is nothing short of magical, and every petal they placed was a stroke of artistry.
First and foremost, the consultation process was a delightful experience. The team took the time to understand our vision, providing insightful suggestions and guiding us through a selection of flowers, colors, and styles. Their knowledge of seasonal blooms, complementing color palettes, and various design aesthetics was invaluable.
On our wedding day, we were simply left in awe. The floral arrangements were breathtaking, each one thoughtfully crafted to perfection. From the enchanting bridal bouquet to the enchanting centerpieces, every detail exceeded our expectations. The flowers were fresh, vibrant, and meticulously arranged, creating an atmosphere of pure enchantment. Our guests were equally spellbound by the sheer beauty that adorned our celebration.
The delivery and setup were executed with precision and timeliness. It was evident Feven and the team took immense pride in their work, ensuring that every arrangement was in its designated place and that the floral decor complemented the venue flawlessly.
In addition to their artistic skill, the Feven and the team were a joy to work with. She was responsive, flexible, and attentive to our needs throughout the planning process, instilling a sense of confidence and trust that truly set them apart.
In conclusion, Gardenias Floral Design is the epitome of floral excellence. Their ability to transform your wedding day into a garden of dreams is unparalleled. We wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking to infuse their wedding with the enchantment of blooms that will be cherished for a lifetime.
Our deepest thanks to Feven for making our daughter's wedding day more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. You are true floral artists, and we are forever grateful for the magic you brought to our wedding.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Johanna and Chris Kelly
Any questions?
The team over at Gardenias was just a dream to work with. They were so patient with me when I made many changes and also provided great suggestions as to what to add/take away for the wedding florals. When it came to the execution on our wedding day, I was completely blown away. From the bouquets to the arch to the center pieces to the hanging florals from the chandelier (!!!) - it was truly a dream come true.
My bouquet from Gardenias was exactly what I wanted! Beautiful job!!
Gardenias did an amazing job with tropical arrangements for my wedding! I had a really specific vision for my wedding flowers, and they executed it perfectly. When our guest count came in much lower than expected, they were really flexible and helpful in finding other great uses for the flowers that were ordered. I received so many compliments from our guests!
Gardenias truly blew me away with the florals for our wedding. The whole team did an amazing job at making my vision come to life. Our wedding was on April 8, 2022, and because of their work, was even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Angela is so great to work with - she is so kind and caring and has so many great ideas to make your special day even more special. We also worked with Feven who was just so sweet and so responsive to all of my questions. Their whole team made the process so easy and magical. I could not have been happier, and I HIGHLY recommend Gardenias!
My wedding planner recommended Angela at Gardenias to me, and all I can say is "wow!" Angela and her team were a delight to work with over the past year, and they created the most beautiful space. They were also wonderful communicators and were so kind. Our reception space was a bit bland, and they completely transformed the space. The flowers and decorations were so gorgeous, and I loved my bouquet so much that I sent it out to get preserved. I would highly recommend Angela and her team to anyone!

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure working with you. We're so happy we were able to give you the wedding day you envisioned and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness!
While planning a destination wedding I was nervous about hiring a florist without ever meeting them in person, but Gardenias really delivered. We had a couple planning calls and I sent them inspiration photos and then they took it from there! Angela and her designers were so helpful coming up with ideas on what would look great at our different venues. The floral arrangements, greenery, bouquets, and boutonnieres were all so perfect - I could not have asked for anything more!
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2021
Thank you so much, Clare! We truly enjoyed working with you and we're so happy to hear that we were able to make your big day extra special! We wish you both a lifetime of happiness and love.
Gardenias was recommended to us by our wedding planner, and they were AMAZING! We were blown away by how absolutely gorgeous our flowers were! I spent a lot of time looking at inspiration photos and changed my mind about the look I wanted quite a few times, and Angela and Rhianna were always receptive, helpful and patient. They designed bouquets and arrangements that were a million times more beautiful than any photo I had found on Pinterest - they were able to capture my vision better than I could even describe it! They were very responsive to me, my mom and our wedding planner through email, text and calls and were just a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much, Angela and Rhianna, for making our wedding so beautiful!
The team at Gardenia's listened to every one of my dreams for wedding flowers and then went above and beyond! Our initial call went step by step through each of our needs, including other decorative details for our tables. They took inspiration from photos and from our conversations, and created truly one-of-a-kind arrangements that took my event from nice to gorgeous!

Gardenias was lovely from start to finish! They were easy to work with, very responsive, competitively priced, and they listened to what I wanted and executed with ease. As someone who doesn’t know the difference between a rose and a hydrangea, I shared pictures with gardenias without explaining in detail exactly what I wanted, and they delivered beautifully. On the day of, everything was done seamlessly and I did not even hear from them (this is very important for the bride on the day of!). They also made a beautiful chuppah then turned it into our head table and it was GORGEOUS! Everything was perfect, I would definitely recommend!
Gardenias really made my dream come true. I had a call with them explaining what I wanted and when I tell you it was spot on!!!! Seriously couldn’t have asked for anything more beautiful.
Had a fabulous experience with Gardenias. Top of the line customer service and the flowers & decor they delivered for my wedding ceremony & reception were stunning.
Fantastic communication. Flowers were brilliant. Line of communication never waivered through the pandemic and a postponed wedding. Very happy with all aspects of the service.
I utilized Gardenias for my rehearsal dinner and wedding day, and was blown away! Angela and her team were organized, responsive, and most importantly, created absolutely beautiful arrangements. I trusted their vision and expertise throughout, and they did not disappoint. Highly recommend!
My husband Josh and I got married on Hilton Head Island this past May and we live in NY. Gardenias Event Floral was a DREAM to work with long distance! They were very professional and always answered my questions when I needed something! They kept us in the loop the entire process since we couldn't go back and forth to the shop! Our arrangements and bouquets were absolutely breath taking and made my tropical vision come to life!!

Kayla and Josh,
It was a pleasure designing for your wedding. Can't wait to see your photos!
All the best!
Angela
I am so grateful we worked with Angela and the Gardenias team to make our wedding day be everything we envisioned. Angela was fabulous to work with from her responsiveness to emails, phone call, all pre-wedding meetings and last minute questions/details. Angela put us at ease that everything was going to be perfect, and she was right! All the florals for our wedding were absolutely stunning. We cannot thank Angela enough for all of her dedication and hard-work for making our wedding day absolutely perfect and we received compliments on all the florals day of and days after!

Response from the Vendor on 05/25/2021
Ali, thank you so much! Loved designing and working with you, Pierre, and your wonderful family! Many hugs and congratulations!
Not only is Angela the sweetest person to work with but she is so talented and passionate about her design! From our first meeting, I knew that we would be in great hands with Angela and her team. She was willing to work with my budget and all of my changes along the way. When the bouquets arrived on my Wedding Day they were even more beautiful than I imagined them to be. Highly recommend this vendor!
This team is amazing! They are the sweetest people and go above and beyond to make sure you are getting exactly what you envision for wedding florals. I made multiple changes to my event order throughout the planning process and they handled all of the changes easily and professionally. Gardenias gave their professional opinions and recommendations while also incorporating my desires and ideas. Angela and her team were timely with their installation and weren't afraid to make day of tweaks that made our event even more beautiful than I could have imagined. You will not regret using Gardenias! The best in the business!
Response from the Vendor on 11/02/2020
Thank you so much, Keali! It was a pleasure designing your wedding! You looked beautiful and the day was just perfect! Wishing all the best and blessings! Angela and The Gardenias Team!
Gardenia's did an excellent job on flowers for our wedding! They worked to make sure that I was able to get everything I wanted while keeping under budget. I recommend all brides to work with this great company! You will not be disappointed.
Response from the Vendor on 09/28/2020
Emma, thank you so much! We had a blast designing your wedding!
We hired Gardenias to be our florist for our wedding. They were friendly and nice when I was working with them however, when we arrived for a consultation they had a picture of me in my wedding dress I had sent to them at their request, and my fiancé saw the picture & I was obviously upset about that as I did not want him to see my dress until our wedding day.
Then we were forced to cancel our wedding due to COVID, because we were legally not allowed to have our wedding due to government regulations and they only gave us a 50% refund even though we canceled over a month in advance and our flowers arrangements were not made already. They said that they had already spent time on the “design”. Sadly I had already paid in full (trying to do things ahead of schedule) I think that under these circumstances that we should Have received a full refund.
Angela and her team at Gardenias Event Floral were wonderful from start to finish! They responded quickly to my initial inquiry and the communication was great throughout the entire wedding planning process. I had a destination wedding and they were so accommodating. The floral arrangements were absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend Gardenias Event Floral.
Wonderful wonderful florist for our wedding. Angela was so down to earth and helpful, and she easily added our changes throughout the whole process. Our phone chats were great to help us iron out the details, and my parents were welcomed into her shop when they had questions as well. The flowers were gorgeous and exact what I wanted, as well as the candles and other table decor. They were so kind and helpful!
Angela and the team were amazing. They were able to select the perfect flowers and arrangements based on our vision and of course made so many wonderful enhancements.
The designers talent and creative eye helped add special touches to the embellished on the chairs, signage, bouquet and course they even made a special dog collar for our sweet puppy-Bella. We had two different centerpieces for the reception. They were able to capture the beautiful flowers with some lighting elements. The white pumpkin centerpieces were a hit —they looked just like the photo we asked them to create .
Everyone was so professional, personal and truly cared about our needs. Thanks for making our wedding day so beautiful!
Gardenias was absolutely wonderful to work with! I met with Angela, the owner, and felt that we were in good hands. She is extremely knowledgeable in the industry and was a lot of fun to work with. She even let my fiancé and I come to her shop to pick out vases, ribbon, and "play around." Everything on wedding day was gorgeous and went off without a hitch!

Hey Jenna! Loved meeting the you two and designing your wedding together! The colors were fabulous! Thank you again!
Flowers were absolutely beautiful !! Angela and her team were great and had so many great ideas !! I appreciate you guys and still think about how beautiful the flowers were ❤️❤️❤️
Response from the Vendor on 10/31/2019
Hey Kala!
Thank you so much! It was a great pleasure to be apart of your big day!! Angela
We absolutely loved working with Angela and her team! A florist was probably the hardest vendor for us to select, but as soon as we chatted with Angela we knew Gardenias was the way to go! The flowers were absolutely beautiful and exactly what 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!
Response from the Vendor on 10/31/2019
Oh, thank you, Meghan! So much fun designing your wedding! All the best! Angela
Gardenias was so wonderful to work with for our wedding day. We sent in to Angela and her team what our vision was and they had several options laid out for our meeting. We were planning our wedding in Hilton Head from Kentucky, and Angela was 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!
Response from the Vendor on 09/01/2019
Thank you! Loved designing your wedding!
Gardenias does an amazing job when it comes to florals! They used inspiration photos that I provided as well as our conversations to perfectly execute my vision. I got so many compliments on my flowers. Everyone at Gardenias was so nice to work with throughout the entire process, and they always went above and beyond when it came to customer service. Perfection!
Response from the Vendor on 09/01/2019
Hannah, thank you so much!
Gardenias completely made my vision of my wedding day come to life. Whether it was the bouquets that perfectly captured the summery color scheme I was going for, coordinating with the bridesmaids dresses seamlessly, the backdrop of florals for 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!
The flowers for our wedding were exactly what we envisioned! Everything was perfect. Gardenia's was very prompt in replying to questions and delivered exactly what we asked.
My bridal bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets were exactly what I was envisioning. Planning a destination wedding was rather tough, but they made the florals seamless. They listened and incorporated my last minute changes without hesitation. I wish I could attach photos to truly show how wonderfully they made my vision come to life! Would highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 07/08/2019
It was a great pleasure working working with you. An absolute delight! Thank you for the opportunity!
Very helpful throughout the entire planning process, but my bouquet did not end up looking like the picture we had provided. It was still very pretty though!
Had a great experience with Gardenias for my wedding flowers! They were up front and honest about pricing and the process, helped us to stay within our budget range. I came pretty prepared with the types of flowers that I liked and what I was 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!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/08/2019
Hi Lauren! We loved designing your wedding and thank you for recommending us to one of your friends! We sooo appreciate it! Super congratulations and all the best! Angela
The ladies at Gardenias did an AMAZING job on my wedding flowers! Everything was perfect and they communicated so well throughout the process, even texted me with last minute questions as they were putting everything together! I received SO many complements on my bouquet <3. Thank you for being part of my PERFECT wedding!
xoxo
I worked with Angela on our wedding and she was amazing. I am not local, so was able to meet with her team once, and then we coordinated the rest over the phone and email. I sent pictures and ideas I liked, and she was able to turn them into 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.
Fantastic people to work with! Friendly, great communication and so helpful! They went above and beyond to make my wedding day what I envisioned. Working within my budget to keep things looking beautiful and on point. The staff had great response time and I felt I wasn’t just another client/wedding. Highly recommend Gardenias’s!
Danyel, Chelsea and the entire Gardenias team are a standout. I can honestly say there is not another florist in Bluffton/Hilton Head/Savannah or anywhere in the entire low country that could have pulled off what they did. We were completely in 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!
Danyel and her team went above and beyond with the flowers. Even offered me garlands I hadn't originally ordered for free the day before when she had extra. Highly, highly recommend!
Angela and her team made our dreams come true with our wedding florals! My dream bouquet was all peonies and of course we were getting married in September which is NOT peony season! She made it happen and even gather enough to give my girls a 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!
Response from the Vendor on 11/06/2018
Thank you so much! We had a ball putting your wedding floral and decor together!!
In short - stop looking around and book Gardenias if they’re available. And book them early. You’re going to need flowers and Gardenias is going to do a better job than you could’ve thought of.
Longer version - Angela is amazing. We were not 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.
Response from the Vendor on 11/06/2018
Thank you so much Christina! What a beautiful couple to work with and it was a pleasure to design and implement all the ideas ;-) Wishing you all many happy years to come!!
I live in Ohio, so planning a wedding out of state was difficult. Angela and her team were very helpful through the whole process. The flowers were exactly what my daughter had envisioned. Thank you for making this wedding beautiful !
Response from the Vendor on 10/10/2018
It was our pleasure to work with such an adorable couple and to be able to provide florals for your special day! Best wishes to the newly weds :)
They showed up late. Held up the wedding twenty minutes while seated guests watched them fumble with installations. Our wedding was perfect except for this unprofessional vendor. Two emails after the wedding have gone unanswered. Think twice before hiring this company.
The effort that comes from Gardenias Event Floral is second to none. I had a small quaint wedding ceremony planned in a short period of time and Angela went out of her way to work with the bare minimum information she had about my personal preferences 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!
Response from the Vendor on 09/20/2018
Thank you, Alexandra! We loved handling your wedding and what a beautiful setting with the marsh in the background! Many blessings and well wishes for years to come!
Angela and the Gardenia's team
I initially chose this florist because of the nice reviews and recommendation from our wedding planner. However, from the very beginning there were issues. The first red flag was when I filled out a questionnaire, emailed it back, discussed it 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.
Response from the Vendor on 09/20/2018
Good morning, Liz;
My apologies on the issues you spoke about. Plus, we had already given you a military discount as we appreciate our service men and women and take all responses seriously. If you will call us back, I will personally help y...
ou as your wedding is in a few weeks and I can guarantee you that I did not call you that name as it is very unprofessional. We were spared from Hurricane Florence (and we send many prayers to our neighbors up state) and we look forward to helping out in any way we can.
Warmest regards,
Angela
Magnificent. The flowers were gorgeous. It was everything my wife hoped for.
The custom design work and magnetic buttoniere attachment exceeded our expectations.
Danyel did a great job
Angela far exceeded our expectations for our wedding! She worked with me to create the perfect cascading wedding bouquet. She went above and beyond with the floral arrangements for our centerpieces and mantelpiece decorations. HIGHLY recommend using Gardenias - gorgeous designs and lovely folks!
Angela was wonderful from start to finish. Even surprised me with blush peonies the day of. All of the flowers were gorgeous and she was so sweet to work with. Would use them for any event in the future!
Gardenias was wonderful! They worked with me to find the right combination of all the things I wanted in my price range and everything was amazing day of!
Angela from Gardenias is truly an artist. She cares about your vision for the wedding and takes it to the next level. Not only does she have amazing taste in flowers, but she adds a unique touch of artistry that makes the floral and other decor 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!
Could not be happier. Everything was absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted and pictured for my big day. Highly recommend!
We worked with Gardenias for our flower arrangements at our wedding and they made every single dream arrangement I had become a reality. I could not be happier with their staff, creativity, and willingness to listen to exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend them for your wedding- they will exceed all expectations!!
The staff at Gardenias are absolutely wonderful! They are incredibly helpful and professional. I planned my wedding from a distance as it was a destination wedding. Terry and Dakota were very responsive and it was a great experience working 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!!
Terry and the rest of the team at Gardenias are fantastic. Terry did such a beautiful job from the bouquets and centerpieces down to the tiniest of details. Everything was perfect! Highly reccomend!
In a word - amazing. The team at Gardenias made my wedding look exquisite. I gave Dakotah a few photos for inspiration and she took those photos and made something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. And the bouquet has lasted more 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.
Gardenias should be your go-to florist for Hilton Head weddings! I was so happy I heard about the team at Gardenias through a recommendation, because my flowers were stunning. (All day people asked where we got our flowers! They were drop-dead 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! :)
Terry did an absolutely amazing job on my wedding flowers, there were more beautiful than I could have imagined. Every arrangement was special and well done, we were so happy with them!!
PS I was stopped at least two dozen times at the airport flying home with comments on how beautiful my bridal bouquet was 4 days after the wedding!
Wow. We were blown away by how gorgeous and incredible our wedding decor turned out. It was all Gardenias. They were thoughtful and kind to work with, and helped us on every level. When we (last minute) decided to have a photo backdrop, Gardenias 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.
I cannot say enough great things about Terry and Gardenias Event Floral! His team was a pleasure to work with and was accommodating throughout the whole process. Although I knew the flowers would be beautiful, they exceeded by expectations! I am so happy we chose to use their them for our wedding :) I highly recommend them!!!
I can't Thank Gardenias enough for providing the most AMAZING flowers for my wedding. Working with Dakotah and Angela was like a dream. These ladies are true professionals and have such wonderful style. They made my wedding dreams come true 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
My flowers were absolutely perfect! Great service, great product, great experience. Highly recommended!!!
I can't say enough good things about Terry and his company. They did such an amazing job! This was a semi destination wedding as my now husband and I are from New York. I was a bit hesitant as its hard to plan from afar but once meeting Terry I 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!

Working the the team at Gardenias was so fantastic from start to finish! Terry took our inspiration and went above and beyond to make the wedding flowers of our dreams, and then some. Walking into the ceremony and reception area left me speechless, 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!

I planned my wedding from out of state so it was challenging when it came to for the most part blindly choosing my vendors. Gardenia'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.
I truly could not be more thankful and pleased that we chose Gardenias to do all the florals for our wedding!! I would choose Gardenias a million times over again!! Terry and his team were so patient, creative and organized through the whole process. 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!
Gardenias was extremely gracious and kind throughout our planning process. We were planning a destination wedding and they were extremely professional and quick to respond through email. I met with Terry and described my dream bouquet and he and his team delivered a bouquet even more beautiful than I could even imagine! They truly embodied our goal of a classic southern elegance.
Terry and Dakota were wonderful to work with! During our consultation, they both sat down and wrote down every detail of what I had envisioned. After they showed me some example pictures of weddings that they had done in the past, and the pictures 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!!
The team at Gardenias completely outdid themselves. I am a military bride and didn't actually get to meet Dakotah and Angela until two days before my wedding in Hilton Head. When I say everything from the bouquets to the table arrangements were 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!
WOW is all I can say!!!!! They worked amazing magic for my destination wedding. I wish I could have taken all the flowers home with me. Dakotah was absolutely AMAZING to work with, and went above and beyond to make my dreams come true. There work is purely beautiful and they are so easy to work with.
The Gardenias Team was absolutely amazing. They helped us stick to our budget and created some amazing arrangements. We had no idea what we wanted for flowers and they helped guide us with a nice presentation of their past work. They are great to work with, very friendly, and easy to get along with. So glad we found them!
Gardenia's was recommended to me by my wedding planner as I do not live in HHI and it was challenging to know who was the best and who I would click with. I worked with Terry and Dakotah mostly and they were above and beyond anything I could imagine. 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.
Wow, it was truly a pleasure to work with Terry and the rest of the staff at Gardenias. Terry worked with me to choose and design the floral arrangements for our April 2017 wedding. He was so helpful and very responsive-- he also did his best to 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!
Working with Terry & the Gardenias team for our April wedding at Port Royal was the best! Terry completely brought to life what I was envisioning with the flowers and I am SO thankful I chose them. Our flowers were truly perfect and the whole planning process with them was such a breeze and they were very accommodating. Look no further - you will be in wonderful hands with Gardenias!
Perfect! Gardenias was absolutely amazing to work with; quick to respond, presented examples and ideas when I was indecisive, and everything looked beautiful! Would recommend them to anyone!
We had a destination wedding in Hilton Head at Sea Pines Beach Club, March 2017, and Circle of Life / Gardenias Event Floral did our flowers. Doing a destination wedding is always more difficult and you really must trust your vendors. We were 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+++++
I highly recommend Circle of Life for any of your wedding needs! Even after our wedding was postponed due to Hurricane Matthew, Terry and the entire staff tat Gardenias Circle of Life on Hilton Head Island worked extra hard to make our day special. 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!!
Absolutely Amazing!!! I live in Indianapolis and was planning a wedding in Hilton Head. From the very beginning, they were so helpful. Helping me select flowers and designs over the phone and by e-mail. I found out 5 days before the wedding that 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!
I am so happy with how amazing the flowers turned out for my wedding. Terry and his team were easy to contact, prompt when responding and kept me within my budget. The flower bouquets were absolutely gorgeous and arrived where they needed to be on time. I would highly recommended them!!
Terry was amazing from begin to end! He stayed within our budget which was not very much & made all of my dreams come true with every detail & every flower! I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful set up for our wedding! He is truly talented & we are so happy with our experience with Terry at Gardenias!!
We were blown away by the art Angela created for our wedding. Yes art - this went above and beyond floral arrangements. We wanted to incorporate the vast amount of herbs in our garden - Angela went further and made each arrangement like a perfect 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!
Terry was so wonderful to work with for my destination wedding, sending pictures of different options for flowers, ribbons, etc. The flowers were gorgeous on my wedding day, and his offer to deliver them made my wedding day so much more relaxed 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!
I worked closely Terry Simmons for my wedding. I had such a great experience with Gardenias. I was not in town for most of my wedding planning, and Terry was wonderful gathering information through email, sending pictures of different flower 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!
Let me begin by saying WOW!!!!!! Just... wow.
When I first started looking at the cost of flowers for my wedding, I was initially VERY put off. The costs I was coming across and the quotes I was being given were astronomical. I felt sick paying 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!
Ill start by saying I did not choose Gardenias for my wedding, they were chosen for me within a package at our venue. But I am so pleased with their work and would have definitely picked them had it been my choice. They were quick to respond
