Gilmartin Design

Difficult to communicate with... seemed irritated often... all bouts broke and we had to fix them... color were added that did not go with our theme... our colors were blush and gold... there were purple flowers... also didn't get things we requested... like flowers for the wagon...overall not the best customer service

excellent

Simply put, Joanne’s flowers were stunning. Without a doubt the thing I hear the most about my wedding was how beautiful the flowers were. From the minute you step into Joanne’s studio in an old barn you are are conscious of the fact that she is truly an artist. We met twice before the wedding and in those two meetings she took the vague ideas that had been knocking around my head and created something so much more spectacular than I ever imagined. Her ability to combine textures, designs old and new, and a wide variety of colors are rare and exquisite. She was sensitive to the confines of our budget and nudged us towards more economical and seasonal choices without sacrificing anything. To top it all off, not only were the results incredible, but Joanne was lovely to work with! She was fun and brimming with excellent ideas. I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who asks for a floral designer and I am just waiting for the next opportunity to work with her again!

I was so impressed with Joanne’s work for our Jefferson, Maine wedding on 9/4/16. Joanne was so helpful and available throughout the process. Considering we were planning our wedding in Maine at a handsome distance, I thought our partnership went particularly smoothly. Early on, I shared Pinterest photos with Joanne and she was able to look over those and make her own suggestions based on what she had available in her own garden and what was easy to procure from wholesalers. When I finally got the chance to visit Joanne’s design studio in person, I was astounded by her beautiful garden (from which she cut flowers for our wedding!) and discovered that she had a gorgeous twig-style arbor available to rent. We had a ceremony site that was not very official looking, so it was the perfect addition! Joanne designed a gorgeous piece of greens and flowers to attach to the arbor as well. Our bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, centerpiece flowers were all impeccably selected and arranged. Everything she created exceeded my hopes and expectations. On the weekend of the wedding, Joanne was punctual and communicative! She delivered the arbor the day prior to the wedding and made a second delivery on the day of the wedding. We really could not have been happier with her beautiful design work.
