alking us through every option. Even with our limited knowledge, they somehow understood our vision perfectly and brought it to life in the most beautiful way.
We changed our minds multiple times throughout the planning process, and they were always quick to respond, offer thoughtful advice, and adjust our plan without any hesitation. Their flexibility and professionalism made everything feel so easy.
On the wedding day, the delivery and setup were seamless and completely stress-free. Everything looked exactly how we pictured it—if not better. We are so grateful and would recommend them to anyone looking for stunning florals and an amazing team to work with!

My Daughter's decision to book GIDAS FLOWERS for her wedding was the best decision she could have made! From the very first visit, I felt like Amy went out of her way to listen to...
exactly what she wanted, to show us each of the flowers we were planning to use (no other florist did this), and to make suggestions, based on their own experiences. When the flowers arrived on my daughter's wedding day, they were EXQUISITE, probably THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS I HAVE EVER SEEN! There were very few fillers and mostly beautiful high-quality roses and ranunculus. GIDAS FLOWERS made the tables, the wedding arch, the table seating chart, the cake, and the bridal party's, mother's, and grandmother's bouquets stunning. Everything together made the venue look magical! I am a type A, very picky personality, and honestly there isn't anything I would change. I will add pictures shortly so you can see for yourselves. Book GIDAS FLOWERS for your wedding, so it can be the best decision you ever make!

show us and went through different options to figure out exactly what we wanted. The flowers were way beyond expectations. I snuck down before putting on my dress to see everything and just started crying because everything looked so perfect. My cascading bouquet was phenomenal and I loved what they did with arch flowers, centerpieces, flowers for on the cake, and seating chart. I have been getting texts and calls for days from people asking who we got flowers through because they were so gorgeous. Throughout the whole process, the communication with Gidas was top notch and they were really receptive to extra things I added.

an out-of-town bride. The team always responded quickly and was transparent. I didn't even have to communicate with them once on the wedding day--they took care of everything--and to me, you can't put a price on that. All of this is not to mention that the flowers were gorgeous. I am still obsessing over the center pieces. If you use Gidas Flowers for your wedding you will not regret it!

They were very receptive to my ideas and thoughts, while also giving options and their own expertise that would help bring my dream to life! After seeing the example centerpiece, and the flowers of the day of I was completely blown away. With very little direction from me and mainly just explaining what I wanted, they made my wedding look like a fairytale! They communicated with me frequently to make sure that we were on the same page and they had everything I wanted as well, which was nice to not have to worry about double checking with them myself! I would recommend them 10/10 times. Extremely easy to work with, high quality flowers, beautiful centerpieces and the kindest and most supportive people! They will make your dreams come true!

gined. My bridal bouquet in particular also exceeded expectations. It was beautiful and cascading. In addition to the flowers being perfect, the team was also very helpful. I knew nothing about flowers and they helped me make selections that would work well in the space and make the most of my budget. I knew I wanted white flowers, but my bridesmaids' dresses were also purple, so they suggested adding a slightly purple filler type plant. It was such a perfect touch having that attention to detail. Also, they helped me by suggesting blooms that would have the most impact but weren't always the most expensive where applicable. Essentially, they helped guide me to really make the best choices to make the most of my budget. They also were prepared with a nice sheet/ questionnaire about which flowers I'd need (altar arrangements, parent / grandparent, etc) so I did not have to worry about forgetting things. They were very easy to work with, as after our initial meeting I did change my mind and want to add a few more things. I will always remember seeing my reception room for the first time and being floored by the gorgeous centerpieces.

Gidas produced incredible florals at my wedding. It took a few phone meetings to get my vision across, but Amy took charge and really took the time to understand what I wanted. I d...
idn’t have the typical idea of white roses and greenery like most modern brides. I wanted to bring a tropical twist to the Burgh and they said they really enjoyed my idea because it wasn’t something they get to do all the time. The quality of the florals were exquisite and they lasted all day (we did a first look and photos before the 6pm wedding). The reception/dinner space ended up being more incredible than I imagined. Gidas is super clear and upfront on pricing which is very important to me. My only constructive criticism is that when it came to ceremony arrangements they prefer to stay on the more classic and conservative arrangements. Such as ones on pillars or attached to a hoop arch. I was told by them that they dont really do too many large or free standing structures with their arrangements—which is totally fine—but if that is something that you are looking for make sure to ask in advance to see if it can be done. Overall I would recommend Gidas!

were just that good! In our initial meeting they were able to build samples and paint us a really clear picture with ease and made visualizing the entire setup possible. They were communicative and great to work with from start to finish and helped things go off without a hitch even when we got a small curveball or two. They made everything work with our budget which was important and made the most of every element. At the end of the day, everything was absolutely lovely and the work they did helped to elevate every aspect of our wedding. Would 100% recommend to anyone out there looking for a wedding florist who gets it and knows how to take that special day to the next level.

Since I live out of town, Laurie was able to work in an in-person consultation for when I was visiting Pittsburgh. They were very honest in where we did not need many flowers and in what would look best in the venues we chose. I loved the look so much that I sent in some flowers to be preserved in glass so that we can put them in our new home. I would definitely recommend Gidas to anyone looking for floral for their wedding!

The communication was excellent, too. Questions were answered within 24 hours. Thanks so much for all that you do. I am so happy that I found Gidas on the Knot.
