The Gidas team was absolutely amazing to work with. They were so incredibly helpful and flexible. From the moment we had the consultation (which was incredibly thorough) I knew I could trust Gidas to deliver the most beautiful bouquets and arrangements and they did not disappoint!
The flowers were even more beautiful than I could have dreamed of! They added so much warmth and were the perfect fall tones to set the mood!
The staff at Gidas was amazing to work with. Based on just a Pinterest board and some screenshots, they were able to bring my vision to life. Walking into our reception and seeing our centerpieces, I was truly speechless! I cannot wait to get my preserved bouquet back to have it forever!
Thank you so much to Gidas Flowers for making our special day unforgettable. The flowers that we ordered were stunning, but I ended up spending a little more than I would have liked to. The staff was great, however. They were able to accommodate a couple of special requests that we had in order to ensure we got what we wanted. The consultation, ordering, and picking up process were very easy and flowed seamlessly. Thank you again!!
Any questions?
Gidas Flowers was the best choice for our September wedding. They exceeded expectations and worked with us to make sure we stayed in budget. Would recommend to anyone!
Laurie and team were so helpful from start to finish!! They were the first florist we met with that initially captured the exact look we were going for! They were quick and helpful to pivot ideas when I thought I may want something a little different, and were so helpful in the creative process. I also didn’t feel like we needed to watch over them for deliveries/pick ups from the venue. They handled it all with ease and was one less thing I needed to overlook. Cannot recommend them enough!! They made the day a complete dream!
Gidas made our floral dreams come true for our August wedding. Our flowers were absolutely stunning - they were everything we envisioned and more. Laurie was absolutely amazing to work with, every step of the way. 100/10 recommend working with Gidas!
Laurie and the team at Gidas were THE BEST to work with! From my very first communication with Laurie, I knew that we were in good hands. She answered all of our questions quickly, was always organized and professional, and was super patient with us throughout all of our edits to our original plan up until the big day (and there were quite a few...). When the flowers were delivered on the day of the wedding, they took our breath away! The expertise of this team was evident throughout all of our interactions with them. We can't thank Gidas enough for helping to bring our wedding vision to life and making our day so memorable and special!
Beautiful floral arrangements at a reasonable cost. I had no idea what I wanted other than a general color scheme, and the consultation appointment was so helpful. They offered ways to work with our budget, as well, which was appreciated. Great experience!
We had them do our wedding in a very short time since we were getting married quickly. They were efficient and never put any stress on me, all while being supportive and wonderful. When I went in for my consultations they were extremely helpful and made my decision making and job SO EASY! It was one of the best experiences I had throughout my wedding planning process. 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!
I really had no idea what I wanted to do with florals for the wedding but Laurie and her team were so great to work with. We were not living in Pittsburgh during our planning and she was always willing to hop on a FaceTime call to go over options for the florals and work with me on a vision. It ended up being exactly what I wanted and I would not have changed a thing!
I had so many questions and adjustments throughout the process and they always helped me figure out the best option and were very quick to respond!
We had gone to a few flower vendors and this one was my favorite. I don't know much about flowers but I was able to go through choices and colors with Gidas and everything turned out amazing. I don't love driving/parking in oakland but everything else was great. I highly recommend this vendor.
I was sooo pleased with Laurie and her team at Gidas Flowers. We had a wedding 💒 at St. Paul’s Episcopal church and a reception at Cinderland’s in the strip. Laurie listened to all my requests and delivered a perfect beautiful product! My daughter Jillian loved her bridal bouquet. Laurie captured the vibe I wanted at Cinderland’s!!
You won’t be disappointed… give Gidas Flowers a call❤️. Claudia Scheibel
Gidas made us the most beautiful floral arrangements for our wedding. I loved their inclusion of blue accent flowers in my primarily white bouquet for that hint of "something blue." We made changes to our floral order a few months before the wedding which they handled with ease. My bouquet lasted the entire day being taken in and out of water still looking fresh.
Gidas Flowers provided the florals for my April 2024 wedding and exceeded my expectations. The centerpieces at the reception were truly stunning and even more impressive than I imagined. 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.
Laurie and the team at Gidas Flowers were very helpful in deciding what we wanted the flowers to look like on our wedding day. The bouquets and centerpieces were beautiful!
Laurie and her team did an amazing job making our vision come alive and fitting within our budget.
When looking for a florist for our wedding, we wanted to find someone who was going to offer a more personalized experience. Laurie was very helpful throughout the whole planning process and gave recommendations on what would look the best. She was very easy to work with and the flowers for our wedding turned out beautifully! My husband and I highly recommend Gidas Flowers for any and all occasion!
Gidas Flowers did an exceptional job handling the flowers for our wedding. They took care of everything, from the wedding party's bouquets to the ceremony and reception decorations. What stood out was their incredible help during the design process. Working through colors and arrangements can be daunting, but Gidas Flowers made it simple and seamless. They were patient, offered valuable insights, and ensured the final result reflected our vision. The pricing was fair, and we appreciated the level of customization offered. Although there were a few small inaccuracies on the wedding day, Gidas Flowers demonstrated dedication to making things right. They were quick to remedy any errors, showcasing their commitment to customer satisfaction. If you're looking for a florist that combines expertise with a personalized touch, Gidas Flowers is an excellent choice.
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 didn’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!
We met with a number of floral vendors for our big day, but it was pretty clear right out of the gate that Gidas was the one we wanted to go with. Not downplaying anyone else, they 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.
We were so happy with how our wedding flowers turned out! We worked with Laurie and she was so helpful throughout the entire process. We were a little indecisive and she was very patient and provided us suggestions and options to stay within our budget which we really appreciated. We were able to see a sample of our centerpieces before the wedding day which was great to help us visualize how everything would look and led to us making a few tweaks that we are so glad we made! I would highly recommend working with Gidas they are professional, responsive, flexible and do beautiful work!
The flowers they made for our bouquet and boutonnière were beautiful!
Laurie & the team at Gida’s were incredible to work with. We went into our initial meeting with a rough idea of what we wanted for our bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces, but we had a lot of questions. Laurie and her team listened to what our vision was, and then they brought it to life. Although we were not local, Laurie was incredibly responsive via email, making the entire planning process a breeze. We couldn’t have been happier with the final product on our wedding day. I was blown away when we walked into the ceremony and reception rooms and saw everything together. The bouquets were beautiful, and the low dish-to-table rectangular centerpieces were absolutely stunning. We received so many compliments on the florals!
Laurie made the whole process very easy! I'm not particular with flowers and she was able to guide me in the right direction with choices and layout. Everything day of turned out perfect.
We had such a pleasant experience working with Gidas for our wedding florals! We really appreciated our in-person consultation and being able to explain our vision and see the flowers in person. On our wedding day, we were so impressed with the final product and seeing our vision come to life. Our altar arrangements, table centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres turned out absolutely lovely!
Laurie was a dream to work with while planning flowers for my wedding day. All of the bouquets and centerpieces were absolutely stunning. Highly recommend working with this team for your big day!!
Gidas Flowers is incredible! From our initial consultation to our wedding day, working with their team was awesome. Gidas was great with communication and responded to our emails/questions right away, always going above and beyond to ensure our vision came to life! Can't recommend Gidas Flowers enough!
We loved working with Gidas!! From the time we booked with them Laurie was so responsive about any of our questions. Our bouquets and centerpieces were absolutely gorgeous! Highly recommend!!
Our flowers were stunning for our wedding. The bouquets were so beautiful. They also did our centerpieces - multiple asked where we got them so they can have them for their wedding.
We loved working with Gidas for our wedding flowers! After meeting with a few different florists in the area, we just knew it had to be them. In our initial consultation with Laurie, she immediately picked up on what we were going for, even though we didn’t go in with a completely formed idea of everything we wanted! What was also incredibly helpful was that she had a lot of the flowers and greenery on hand, and we were able to mock up ideas together on the spot. They made everything so easy in the lead-up to the wedding, and everyone we talked to at any point in the process was friendly and knowledgeable. And of course, when we got to our wedding day, the flowers were absolutely stunning! The quality and artistry were beyond what we’d imagined!
Gidas Flowers was a dream to work with! Highly recommend working with them for any occasion. Extremely fast and easy communication throughout my entire wedding planning, very professional, and brought my vision to life with the MOST beautiful flowers I've ever seen!! Everything was seamless and I never worried about a thing. Gidas Flowers is the best!! I look forward to working with them again in the future!
We are so impressed with Gidas and their service. We used them for both our ceremony and our reception, and the arrangements turned out perfect. The whole crew was very responsive and was good about following up with us on deadlines for making decisions and payments. 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!
Gidas floral arrangements for our son's wedding was amazing. The floral arrangements for the church and venue were breathtaking and colorful. I made the wedding cake and I love the way Laurie did the floral design. What a compliment to my cake. Very elegant and just enough. The bride made the containers for the table centerpieces and Gidas did their magic and turned them into gorgeous table centerpieces. The bridesmaids bouquets were colorful. The flower girls loved their crowns and baskets. The sweetheart table was absolutely beautiful. We are so pleased with Laurie and her team. We received so many compliments. 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.
Gida's was so wonderful to work with. Throughout the wedding planning process, they were so communicative and accommodating – even with a bridal bouquet change the week of the wedding! Our wedding florals absolutely blew us away and looked even better than the inspo photos we had used. I cannot recommend them enough!
Gidas flowers did an amazing job with our daughter's wedding. Our daughter didn't know exactly what she wanted but she brought inspiration photos to the meeting and Laurie was able to find exactly the right style and vibe she was going for. In addition, our daughter did not live in Pittsburgh but the wedding was being held in Pittsburgh (our home town). Laurie did an excellent job of communicating through email and facetime to make sure our daughter felt included in every decision. We would absolutely use them again, especially for a large event that needed many hands.
The ONLY negative thing I would say, and it won't be a negative for all but may impact someone's ability to hire them for a large event, they do not take credit cards for large orders. Cash or check is all that is accepted for events. I think they do accept credit cards for in store purchases etc, but for large events, it's cash or check. This wasn't an issue for us as we had our daughter's wedding budget in mind when we booked with them, but for others it might be an issue. Other than that, however, there was not a single thing I would want any different!
Gidas is AMAZING! Laurie was absolutely incredible to work with. She was great at communicating and making sure they did exactly what we wanted. She saw our vision and made it happen. I was so impressed from start to finish. Our flowers turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I am so grateful to the whole team!
Gida’s overall exceeded ALL expectations!!! The first consultation was amazing and Laurie explained / supported us with ideas , etc. The day of was EXCELLENT! Very organized and so beautiful! Clean up crew was such a relief after a long day/ night.
We picked Gidas to meet with because it was close to our ceremony venue. They did an absolutely amazing job. Laurie was able to look at a few inspiration photos and create my dream wedding bouquet. I got so many complements on my unique and absolutely stunning bouquet. I only wish it could last forever! They also worked with me to create bridesmaid bouquets, center pieces and a unity candle holder that were totally gorgeous and they were able to help me budget / pick cheaper types of flowers for other arrangements knowing I picked an extravagant bride bouquet. I cannot recommend them enough! They were so incredibly helpful!
I cannot recommend Gida’s enough! They provided flowers for our recent December wedding and I was ecstatic over how beautiful everything turned out (bouquets, centerpieces, flowers for our ceremony arch, etc). I was in communication with Laurie throughout the entire process and she was always quick to respond and so easy to work with. The price was also very reasonable for the quality of the work that they do. These guys are super professional and everything was delivered exactly as promised. Again, I can’t recommend Gida’s enough and would refer them to a family member or friend in a heartbeat.
Gidas was absolutely amazing to work with. They truly transformed our reception and ceremony space to reflect the room of my dreams. The flowers were stunning, and exactly what I envisioned.
When it came to choosing flowers for our wedding, my husband and I did not have any clue where to start. The best place to start is making an appointment with Laurie at Gidas Flowers. We shared our wedding colors and from there she led us through all of her suggestions for bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, centerpieces, etc. She built a customized contract/order detailing which flowers would fit best in each piece and provided the pricing. The whole experience was so straightforward and transparent (even for novices like us)! A few months before the wedding we had a second meeting to view a sample centerpiece. I loved that part so we could start to envision what the whole look would be! When the wedding day arrived everything looked absolutely stunning and was exactly what we envisioned (and more) after approving our sample piece! We highly recommend Gidas Flowers!
Their flowers were beautiful and ready right on time. Everything was fresh and easy to use.
Gidas Flowers helped us for our original wedding and then for our postponed wedding due to the pandemic. THEY WERE GREAT!! It was so stressful having to postpone and start over at a new venue. Gidas was patient with us, gave great ideas for how we could decorate our new space, and was super responsive! Any questions we had were quickly answered. We are so happy we had the opportunity to work with them for such a special event!! Everything was beautiful!! Thank you again!!
I worked with Gidas Flowers for a COVID postponed wedding that took place in early August 2021. Laurie and the team were amazing to work with from day one. From an initial consultation where she gave me a great amount of information, education on florals/greenery, and options to work within our budget. They were very responsive and provided great communication throughout the wedding planning process. From delivery of personal bouquets and boutonnieres to the hotel, to centerpieces, cake flowers, and accent arrangements, everything was flawless!
Flowers were beautiful and exactly what I wanted. They delivered the flowers to my reception venue in Slippery Rock for an extra cost, which was a life saver.
Gidas Flowers did an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding! I am pretty clueless when it comes to flowers, but during our initial meeting, Laurie did a great job taking my ideas and color scheme and creating a beautiful floral arrangement. We loved our centerpieces, bridesmaids/bride bouquet, boutonnières, corsages, and more. I highly recommend Gidas Flowers!!
We are so happy to have worked with Laurie and her team for reception! They were flexible and patient as we had to change dates 3x and venues 2x. Laurie has a great artistic vision and introduced us to flowers we didn’t know existed. The arrangements at the reception and bouquets looked absolutely stunning! We got so many compliments on the floral design and types of flowers that were used. Would highly recommend booking with Gidas!!
Laurie and Gidas flowers were AMAZING. The flowers were absolutely stunning!!! Her creativity went above and beyond. I knew NOTHING about flowers. Laurie took her time to show us different florals and greenery she thought would look best. Flowers arrived on time at the church and reception venue! I would use Laurie and Gidas Flowers again in heartbeat!!!
I had the most wonderful experience with Gidas from start to finish. I worked with Laurie, who spent so much time helping us figure out exactly what we needed and incorporate my ideas into ceremony decorations, bouquets, and centerpieces - all while keeping within my budget. She was so organized and knowledgeable. I nearly cried when all of my flowers were delivered because they were so beautiful. Gidas went above and beyond in bringing my wedding vision to life. I would recommend them to anyone!
Gidas was wonderful to work with. I got my bouquet delivered to my hotel room, seeing my bridal bouquet was one of my favorite parts of my wedding day. Stunning bridal bouquet, stunning table centerpieces! Laurie worked with me over the last year, she was so accommodating, organized, and always answered/changed anything I needed!
Beautiful, quality flowers and great communication
Gidas Flowers did the reception flowers, boutonnieres, and corsages for our wedding. I went to them a little over a month before our wedding in a complete panic because our original flower plans fell through. Laurie was amazing and helped bring my wedding flower vision to life. She was so transparent about costs throughout the whole consultation and worked to stay within my budget. The final product was absolutely beautiful!
Could not be happier that we chose Gidas flowers for our wedding! From the consultation with Laurie to the day of working with their team was easy and fun. They went above and beyond what my original vision was and made it that much better. Can’t say enough about them!
I can't say enough good things about Gidas! They did the flowers for our wedding in October and did an amazing job. They were extremely responsive, helpful in figuring out exactly what we wanted, and did an amazing job. My bouquet was so beautiful and it was exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend them, especially for weddings!
I literally had no idea what kind of flowers I wanted for my bouquet. The staff at Gida’s recommended the most beautiful flowers and it turned out even better than I imagined. The arrangement was flawless. I had to pick my flowers up the day before and they gave me careful instructions for how to store them to stay fresh and gave me a vase to sit them in. I really enjoyed working with them and the flowers truly looked beautiful.
My bouquet was absolutely beautiful, but it was enormous, expensive, and it was so heavy! I wish I had more consulting time with them to go over what I was looking for. I sent a few inspiration photos, but I don’t think I was able to properly communicate what I was specifically envisioning. It may have been better if they had sent something like a sketch of what they planned to do, how big it would be, etc beforehand. I definitely wouldn’t not consider them, but be sure that you’re very specific with what you want and the size that you’re looking for.
We had planned to use Gidas Flowers for our wedding on 6/26/2020. When the pandemic hit in March, Gidas was so flexible as we planned our big day three different times. Ultimately we decided to hold our wedding in NY where we live to limit travel for our guests. Gidas still worked with us! We ended up having a family member pick up our bouquets and bring them to NY. I was worried that they wouldn’t last the 8 hour car ride. They were even more beautiful than I expected and they were so fresh! We got so many compliments on our flowers the day of. I was so grateful for their flexibility and communication throughout the whole process and wish we could’ve had them do our centerpieces as we had originally planned. I would recommend Gidas to any bride in search of a florist.
It was really a pleasure working with Laurie and her team. Laurie was extremely helpful in helping us visualize the florals for our wedding, and I was so amazed by how beautiful everything looked on our wedding day. They were so flexible when we had to switch gears and downsize our wedding this year due to the pandemic, and we're so excited to work with them again for our reception next year!
Absolutely gorgeous flowers!!! I loved my bouquet and my grooms boutonnière! Working with Laurie was an absolutely pleasure. She was so responsive, always made sure to let me know when she received our payments. She was also so accommodating when I changed our order a month before! Our order was very affordable in my opinion. Definitely worth looking into!
I had to find a florist pretty last minute, and I was so lucky that Gidas was available for our date! Incredible value compared to the estimates I got from other local florists, and Laurie did an excellent job translating my vision into a realty. We got so many compliments on the arrangements and the flowers were one of my favorite parts of the whole day. I highly recommend Gidas to any Pittsburgh bride!
Our flowers were beyond gorgeous. We worked with Laurie during our consultation and she truly helped me create perfect floral arrangements from my bouquet to the centerpieces based off of my ideas and the time of year for the wedding. When I saw the final bouquets on the wedding day, I was truly blown away. You cannot go wrong with Gidas’!
Gidas did an amazing job on my wedding flowers and greenery! I was so happy with how everything turned out. Our bouquets, centerpieces, cake flowers and the brown birch arch they made were all stunning. I had a vision in my head and they nailed it! Everyone at Gidas was wonderful to work with and very helpful throughout the process. I’m so happy they worked so hard to make everything look so beautiful on my wedding!
We used Gidas for our November wedding and they did an AMAZING job with everything. We met with them a few times when we were in town and they were very helpful in designing the bouquets and boutonnières (esp with someone who knows nothing about flowers). Even when there was some confusion about where the flowers were delivered day of, they quickly ran them over for our first look and pictures at the University Club before the wedding. These folks were great!
Gidas Flowers was an incredible vendor to work with for our October wedding. We initially booked Gidas without an in-person consultation as we live out of state– a simple phone call and browse through their wedding gallery and we knew they were the right vendor for us. At our consultations, it felt like Jason and Laurie read my mind when they created a sample bouquet and centerpiece that was exactly what I was hoping for. In addition to the beautiful bouquets, Gidas created simple, elegant centerpieces for our reception, and an incredible floral installation to decorate the arch used for our outdoor ceremony. We couldn’t recommend Gidas enough.
Gidas was absolutely amazing for my wedding. Communication was easy and their ideas were perfect. My wedding was jewel toned and Laurie picked the perfect flowers to go with my mismatched bridesmaids. I am still getting compliments on my unique and beautiful flowers. Everything turned our perfect and I am so happy with everything they did for me. Laurie and Jason helped me every step of the way. I can't thank them enough!!
The team at Gidas were wonderful to work with and made it easy to bring the arrangements we envisioned to life. They are reliable, flexible, and creative!
Gidas did the most amazing job on our wedding this past weekend! They brought my vision to life! My wedding bouquet was the most stunning bouquet I have ever seen. The flowers smelled amazing and everything looked gorgeous. The whole team was very accommodating to our every need. The whole team was very punctual, reliable and professional. I would definitely recommend Gidas flowers!
Gidas was amazing to work with and my flowers were gorgeous!! I came to Jason and Laurie without a real vision of flowers in mind, but through simple conversation of options, Jason created a beautiful proposal of classic cream roses and more! The team was punctual, responsive, and involved. I loved our arrangements of flowers and received an array of compliments! Thank you Gidas for the most beautiful flowers I didn't even realize I was envisioning for my day!!
Gidas was absolutely amazing as our floral vendor for our wedding! We met with Laurie for the initial meeting, and she was so organized beforehand. She had us send her a few pictures of our vision. I know nothing about flowers, but I had a couple of ideas that I sent her. When we got to the meeting, she was already set up with a web page open of every type of flower that she envisioned for us. She was quick to give us a price the same day and was actually much lower than our budget. We planned initially to do only bouquets and corsages, but after seeing the price, we got centerpieces for about 80% of our tables. Laurie was so helpful throughout the whole process, and I didn't have to be involved in any of the set up. Thank you Gidas!
Probably the best vendor we used for our wedding. Beautiful arrangements, but also very flexible with our price range, weekend of logistics, etc. Can't recommend them enough!
I loved the work Gidas did for my wedding day! They were able to come up with the style I wanted that was within my budget and alternative ideas in case we experienced rain. I had a tight schedule to come in for consultations but they were able to fit me in. The bouquets, centerpieces, and arch pieces I chose were beautiful and the whole venue smelled amazing!
Laurie and the Gidas shop were not only super helpful in making a plan for the wedding flowers, but the execution of the plan was perfect! One of my favorite parts of my whole bridal look that day was my bouquet, I cannot thank them enough!
We were so impressed with absolutely everything from Gida's. They helped bring our dreams to life. They were super easy to work with and had the best suggestions for our wedding! We loved working with them!
I cannot say enough good things about Gidas. We fired our florist 2 WEEKS before our wedding. My coordinator reached out to Gidas to see if they were able to take our wedding on. Without hesitation they took on our huge order, and gave us the most beautiful floral arrangements a bride could ask for. I met with Jason that same day my coordinator asked if he could take our wedding on. He had samples already made up to show me that day. Jason was so professional and such a pleasure to work with. He responded within minutes to my questions I had. He saw my vision and made us the most perfect arrangements. I truly cannot thank Gidas enough for taking on our wedding and making everything beyond what we could've asked for. Forever a customer.
Gidas, and specifically, Laurie was absolutely wonderful to work with for my wedding. I didn't have a precise vision of what I wanted for my wedding flowers, but at our initial meeting, Laurie helped guide me based on pictures I found on Pinterest and photos of the venue. When it came time for the mock up, it wasn't quite what we had envisioned, and on the spot she fixed it and made it perfect! It just goes to show how much she understood my vision and her desire to get it right. Throughout the process they were very communicative with me and with my wedding planners. The flowers at my wedding were show stopping, and I am so, so glad I chose Gidas!
I am SO happy I went with Gidas Flowers. They were a great team to work with and were very affordable and really worked with me on keeping the costs to fit into my budget while also answering all my questions (which were a lot!!)… They gave me ideas on their own while totally doing what I asked. Between my mother and I we could be kinda bossy at times (I was a bride who knew what she wanted!) and they totally worked with us and were so nice and cooperative. Very responsive and I do not have one single complaint. They did a fabulous job.

Modern simple babies breath and all white reception with pops of color during cocktail hour.
Our daughter’s wedding was last weekend and Gidas Flowers provided us with the most incredible flowers! Laurie was fantastic to work with and the flowers were more beautiful than I could have imagined! I definitely, without a doubt, would recommend Gidas Flowers!!
Gidas did the flowers for my wedding ceremony and reception. I was planning my Pittsburgh wedding from Philadelphia and Laurie facetimed me for almost 2 hours on a Saturday to talk about exactly what I was thinking for my flowers. When I came into Pittsburgh about 6 months before the wedding and saw my sample centerpiece it was more than I could have hoped for! My flowers in the reception room were breathtaking. The flower stands matched the votive candle holders on the tables and completed my vision. My bouquet is preserved and in a shadow box because I could never part with it! Don't hesitate to book Gidas for your wedding, they are absolute professionals and so talented at what they do!
Gidas provided stunning floral arrangements for my wedding reception and bridal party. They were very easy to work with and made sure I was happy with everything- they do a sample centerpiece weeks before your event so you can see it all together and can make any changes. My seating chart and table numbers changed last minute and Gidas accomadated these changes without issue. They even got creative when my baker couldn’t provide a cake stand- we set black magic roses under a large glass cylinder that worked perfectly as a cake stand! Very classy florist- will be recommending to anyone seeking a florist.
We worked with Laurie and she was great. She was kind, patient, and very prompt with responses to all questions we had. Our wedding flowers were breathtaking. She captured the theme and vibe we wanted perfectly.
Laurie and the rest of the Gidas team did a wonderful job with our wedding flowers. I couldn't have been happier with their service. From the beginning, Gidas used my "inspiration" bouquet picture and re-created it. I was also pleased with my sample centerpiece set up when I visited the store, which allowed me to solidify my vision for the reception flowers. We got married right in Oakland, Pittsburgh, PA, so the personal flower delivery to the hotel worked out so well, they even delivered the flowers right to our hotel room, which I was not expecting, but was greatly appreciated. The flowers made our photography even more beautiful! Highly recommend Gidas for their wedding flowers.
Gidas Flowers did an incredible job for our wedding. I live out of town and Laurie made the entire planning process so easy! She texted me pictures and made sure I was happy with all the flowers! I received tons of compliments on my wedding bouquet saying it was the prettiest they have ever seen! The best florists in Pittsburgh!
The flowers were beyond my expectation! Gidas did such an amazing job and I couldn't have asked for better!
I left the flowers to the last minute because it wasn’t a big feature in our small wedding. But even with a week’s notice Gidas exceeded my expectations.
I talked through my ideas for my bouquet and color scheme over the phone and they arranged the perfect encapsulation of my vision. The boutonnières and flowers for the mom’s were the perfect compliment to the beautiful bouquet. Absolute professionals, couldn’t be happier with the service.
I have to start out by saying Gidas was absolutely a pleasure to work with for our wedding flowers. I did some extensive research over a year out from our wedding date in regards to Pittsburgh florists and heard nothing but wonderful things about Gidas. Even after all my research, I took the recommendation from a friend who also used Gidas for her wedding that took place a year or two prior.
Going into our first appointment we thought we had a very clear idea of what we wanted. After we decided to go a different direction (months later) with my dress and decor- I felt that it was necessary to change the flowers as well. I was so nervous that this would be a big deal but it totally wasn't! Carol was so helpful and she really saw my vision and was able to make it come to life.
I met with multiple people throughout the year and a half planning process and not once did I feel like the ball was dropped in between designers. I totally understand that people come and go from businesses so I never felt uneasy that we were working with a different floral designer than we originally met with. Gidas made the process so SEAMLESS and enjoyable.
My favorite part was going into the shop to see a mockup of the elevated centerpieces that we discussed at our second meeting. I honestly was in awe of how beautiful it looked and it was just a sample! This moment really put me at ease because I knew that our floral arrangements were going to look amazing.
As for the day of, our wearables (bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres) were all delivered promptly to the church. Everything looked AMAZING. I loved my bouquet so much and received so many compliments on all of the flowers present at the church. When we got to the reception venue, our coordinator was able to sneak us into the ballroom to get a sneak peak of the room. All I have to say is that I was in awe of how beautifully our florals were set up. The mix of elevated and low centerpieces was perfect, the flowers were beautiful and the mercury glass stands really tied everything together. I went in with a vision but the team really made it come together. I am no florist- so I made sure to listen to their expertise and suggestions and I am so glad I did!
If you are looking for a reliable, reasonably priced, florist with superb expertise I HIGHLY recommend Gidas. They are true professionals and I hope to use them again for future flower needs.
Gidas arranged and delivered all of the florals for my September wedding, and they were some of the most beautiful arrangements I've ever seen! The flowers were all in immaculate shape, good quality, and so fresh that they really lasted. Working with the designer was a seamless process, and she was full of great ideas of how to make the wedding even more beautiful than I ever imagined it could be.
Gidas made the most perfect bouquets and boutineers for our wedding! They were stunningly beautiful. Gidas were kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. They delivered to the chapel right on time and were reasonably priced as well. I would definitely recommend their services!
Gidas created all of our personal flowers and they were stunning. I had a difficult time getting to the shop for an initial appointment so they made arrangements to facetime me during my lunch break. For our meetings, I had inspiration pictures I showed them and they not only brought out samples of the types of flowers I was interested in so I could see what they looked like in person but all of the personal flowers looked exactly like the pictures I had. Very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend.
Laurie and Melanie were amazing at helping us decide what style of flowers went best with our theme and colors!! We got bouquets for the ceremony and centerpieces for the reception and it turned out so beautiful! Everyone was obsessed with how they turned out and wanted to take home the centerpieces at the end of the night. We would not change a thing!
They did such an amazing job on my flowers. I went in with a general idea of what I wanted, but told them I was mostly relying on their expertise, and they did not disappoint. In our initial visit, she pulled some flowers for me to choose from and gave me everything I wanted within my budget. When I saw the flowers on my wedding day, I was blown away. They were absolutely incredible. I got lots and lots of compliments. I would definitely recommend this company.
We had our reception at Twentieth Century Club and their package included centerpieces from Gidas. And we are so happy they did! We ordered all of our flowers through them. We loved them. We had an art deco wedding and the ladies at Gidas recommended that we use pearl accents in our flowers. Our flowers were beautiful and we are so happy we used Gidas.
Gidas flowers looked absolutely amazing at our wedding. My husband and I worked with Lori and she was so kind and helpful! Very honest and fair pricing, also was able to add things the week of the wedding that we needed extra flowers for. Upon meeting for our consult she was able to give us our pricing that same day while we were in the shop (others took two weeks or more). Our center pieces looked amazing and we got so many compliments. We love Gidas flowers!
Carole and the Gidas staff provided the flowers for my daughter’s wedding in July. Of special note, the mix of high and low table arrangements that Carole recommended of hydrangeas, dusty roses and lilies for the reception tables were truly tasteful and elegant, really the perfect choice for a summer event (and quite striking against the white tablecloths). Gidas also provided mirrors under the arrangements and votive candles—truly made the tables sparkle!
We used Gidas for our June wedding and they were awesome! Our ceremony was at Heinz Chapel and since they are familiar with the venue, the flowers were ready to go for us when we arrived at the Chapel. During planning, we had an appointment to see the sample centerpiece for the reception and they had made a few changes to what we talked about during the consultation and I was so happy because they made additions that I was going to suggest myself. My fiancé was also particular about the boutonnieres and didn't want large flowers and they put together some eucalyptus and wax flowers and it made both of us happy. Would definitely recommend because the flowers were beautiful and the staff was so pleasant to work with.
Gidas Flowers put together the wedding floral arrangements of my dreams! Laurie, Carole and Jason were a pleasure to work with, and they made my vision come to life! While their range of offerings and work was incredibly broad (such a plus!), they were able to perfectly pinpoint and provide suggestions to match our aesthetic and give us the clean, classic and elegant look we were going for. Coming from someone like me who is obsessed with flowers, I can say these were the most gorgeous wedding arrangements I have ever seen! And an added bonus, almost two weeks after my wedding, I still have my bridesmaids rose bouquets in water and they are look just about as perfect as they did the day of. Would recommend over and over again!
Carole is an artistic genius. She took my colors and Pinterest board and turned them into a dream come true! Everything was beautiful and perfect and our arbor was simply stunning. Thank you so much to Carole and the Gidas staff!
I don’t even know where to begin, Gidas is absolutely wonderful to work with. And they are beyond professional. To top it all off their work is absolutely stunning. I felt at ease and at home with each person I talked to. Planning a wedding out of state was a bit difficult and Gidas absolutely made me feel so relaxed. They are quick to respond and never make you feel taken advantage of because it’s a wedding. You can see how much they love doing what they do in the beauty of their work.
I cannot say enough about Gidas! The exceeded all of my expectations for our wedding! I came to them with a vision in my head and they created exactly what I had in mind with just a brief meeting. Everything was exactly how I imaged it! The flowers were incredible and beautiful. The staff was very attentive and answered all of my numerous emails very promptly. I would highly recommend Gidas to anyone looking to get married! Thank you so much!
