Teri did an amazing job with our flowers - They were absolutely breathtaking! When she came on the day of the wedding to set up - She made sure that the location had everything that we needed to make the flowers shine! The location had set up a warped table and she was so great to get them to replace it with something that was more suitable. She was so focused on all the little details that we didn't even have to worry about anything!!
Teri really made our vision come through and it was all very reasonably priced!!
We hired Gorham House for our June wedding in the Rangeley, ME area (after my brother had a great experience with his 2021 wedding). We can’t say enough good things about Terri and the Gorham House team. Their work was absolutely stunning, prices reasonable, and they took great care in making our “rustic elegance” vision come to life (including crafting custom containers when we couldn’t find!). Gorham House was a crucial part of making our day special, and we’re so grateful for their beautiful work!
Terri is one of the kindest souls I've had the pleasure knowing.
I had a vision for our day and she NAILED it. Even when she wasn't able to be there for the special day, she made plans to have a very special and talented replacement step in.
The whole staff at Gorham House Florist is amazing and we owe them our gratitude for helping shape our day!
Terri was amazing! Her prices are great and the quality of her work is fantastic. My flowers were even better than I imagined them to be. I even got a wedding sign made by someone at her shop and it came out perfect! I definitely recommend Gorham House Florist! I wish I had my pictures back already to add to this post so everyone could see exactly how great they were.
Terri is absolutely amazing - you must hire her! Not only is she in an incredibly talented florist whose prices can't be beat but she is an absolute love. Wedding planning was a tough process for me as I was doing a lot of it alone due to a non-traditional family upbringing (i.e. nomother of the bride involved). I changed my mind on things a million times and definitely drove Terri crazy but she was kind and understanding throughout the process. She empathized with the experience I was having, never made me feel badly and provided words of encouragement throughout. On the day of the wedding, I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful the flowers came out. She even surprised me by getting the anemones I lusted for and thought were out of season! You will not go wrong with Terri and Gorham House Florist!
My husband and I are so happy we got to work with Terri! Terri was fun to work with and we loved watching her turn our ideas into reality. We told her the vibe we’re going for and she executed it beautifully. The whole wedding looked absolutely stunning due to her work! She is so talented and knows what she’s talking about, which made it easy for us to trust her. We highly recommend her. She knows what she’s doing and has an amazing eye for floral design.
Terri was fantastic to work with! I told her my budget and colors and she helped me choose the perfect flowers to go with. I ended up letting her have creative artistic freedom to make my wedding beautiful and she absolutely did!!! I was blown away with how stunning everything looked! The ceremony site, reception tables, the bouquets, and even the flowers for my cake were perfect! I highly recommend Terri and Gorham House Florist!
Fabulous! Although busy and booked themselves, they took on my wedding when many flower shops were unable. My bouquet was gorgeous. They took my vision and did exactly what I wanted. People commented on how beautiful it was all night. My bridesmaids bouquets were perfect too. They even made a corsage to attach to my dogs collar! I was so please with everything and Terri was excellent to work with. Highly recommend!
I had no clue what I wanted for flowers for my wedding. We met with Terri and I told her what I was looking for as far as colors. She made a ton of notes and got back to me on what flowers she suggested in the colors I was looking for. I loved them all. I went up the day before my wedding to check out my bouquet and it was absolutely beautiful and perfect. Terri and her staff do an amazingly beautiful job, and are so much fun to work with. I highly recommend Gorham House Florist.
Terri did an AMAZING job on my floral arrangements for my wedding. I couldn't have imagined having more beautiful bouquets, mother's wristlets, and boutonnieres! She was so helpful. The price was great for the amount of flowers that I got. She had great ideas and we were able to repurpose flowers from the ceremony and bring them into the reception for extra decorations!
Terri was by far the most helpful and valuable vendor throughout my entire wedding planning experience. We had to adjust many components to downside the wedding and change venues during the pandemic and she was always there ready to help. She made my experience so much easier and enjoyable than I could ever have imagined and was always cheering me on when things got tough. She also was so accommodating with our budget and would make any adjustments needed to fit without our constraints. Oh and did I mention how beautiful her work is?!
Sharing our experience with Terri, Gorham
House Florist!
By the way, this is not a sketchy vendor “give me a good review....” post. Terri did not even ask for it and that’s just one of the things we like about her :)
Over the phone, we told her that we wanted to keep things simple and within budget for our wedding. Sensing that we’re gearing towards practicality, she suggested putting the flowers in mason jars that could be hanged on aisle chairs during the ceremony. It could then be used as table centerpieces during dinner. She said she’s really into these reusable decor pieces but what we like the most is the idea that once the flowers have wilted, we can just reuse the mason jars for other purposes.
Given my very limited knowledge with flowers, I was so happy she delivered the way I imagined it! The flowers looked unreal but it became a conversation piece once you realize that they’re actually real flowers. My favorite is the delphinium (the cornflower blue). There’s always something about blue that complements the joyful colors (remember Disney’s Inside Out?).
And this is why we love Terri! This is a vendor that truly listens and make things work for her clients. I would love to work with her again! Hopefully she gets more clients and make them happy on their special day.
Terri was truly amazing! I am very picky, but literally had no idea what I am talking about with flowers and she NAILED it! She did our centerpieces, bouquets, two arbors, as well as other decorations and it was breathtaking!!!!
Terri was amazing to work with! I chose Gorham house florist for my 8/24/19 wedding and I am SO happy I did. When I met with Terri 6 months before the wedding to tell her my vision- she was just as excited as I was to make it come to life! She made my bouquets and arrangements so beautiful and exactly like I had pictured. I gave her three different centerpiece designs and she thought of the perfect flowers and greenery to add to them to make my vision perfect. I am SO happy with her work and she helped make my day beautiful!!
I am a girl who loves her flowers... I have them around my house at all times. They make my heart happy. So when I started my search for a wedding florist, it was a big deal. There was a lot at stake for me. I wasn't finding quite the right match... in terms of vision, price, personality... until I found Terri at Gorham House Florist. We had a long talk on the phone one night last year and - although I was a person she had never met - she made me feel like an old friend, just chit chatting about the vision I had for the most important day of my life. She is one of the kindest, flexible, most knowledgeable people in the business... and trust me - I spoke to a LOT of florists before landing on Terri. She never overcharged me for anything (I know what these things generally cost and I don't even honestly know how she makes a profit) and her work was breathtaking. She made all the standard bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and the like... plus she arranged several small center pieces for each table at my request, set in funky small vases I had collected over the years - 39 of them to be exact! She even included a "throw" bouquet - a smaller version of my bouquet as a gift to me should I choose to do a toss (I couldn't bear to though... it was too beautiful to throw!). And every time I thought of a sign, a particular item I needed for the tables, a runner, lanterns, buckets, anything that I dreamed up in my head for the space - I would email her and see if she had what I needed and 100% of the time she did!!! She rented so many of those odds and ends items to us - saving me BOAT loads of money that I would have otherwise shelled out on Etsy for things I'd never use again. Terri was responsive, timely, and oh so easy to work with from start to finish. I simply couldn't recommend her highly enough.
All my love,

We loved working with Terri at the Gorham House of Flower's, the bouquets were stunning and more than I could have ever hoped for. She took my ideas and made them a better reality. All the flowers were in perfect condition. The boutonniere accented the bouquets perfectly I couldn't have asked for a better match. Terri was easy to work with, responsive, and knew hr flowers. Even though her son got married the same day as us nothing was lacking in presentation, attention to detail, or thoughtfulness.
Thank you Terri for bringing our wedding day to life with all the wonderful flowers. With all of the choices - we became a little overwhelmed, but she was able to help reccomend exactly what we needed while helping us budget. We reccomend using Terri as she was fantastic to work with and truly enjoys what she does. A+, Keep up the great work!
Terri was amazing and the flowers were gorgeous. I walked in there with my mom and no clear idea of what I wanted. She listened to me as I attempted to describe thing I didn't like and as I flipped through flower books and noted flowers that I liked or not, and then she summarized for me everything I wanted. Accurately! And I didn't even know what I wanted! She was so friendly and helpful throughout the process of me figuring things out, and then of course the flowers were amazing. I got so many compliments on them. In conclusion, thank you Terri for being awesome and making me awesome flowers.
Terri did a fantastic job with our wedding flowers. She was so easy to work with and was extremely helpful in providing ideas and working together to stay within our budget. She went above and beyond by making some last minute changes to the gorgeous garland she made when the weather caused us to change some of our plans. I'd recommend Terri to anybody in the area looking for an amazing florist!
I can't thank Terri enough! She was so easy to work with and so knowledgeable! Together, she took my ideas and made them a reality! Our flowers were absolutely stunning, delivered and reasonably priced! I am so thankful we had Gorham House do our flowers!!
Stunning! That was the word guests used to describe the floral arrangements, bouquets and boutonnieres Terri made for our wedding. Terri’s great ideas for flower choices were perfect for the colorful, vintage romance vibe of our event. She mixed deep red sangria-colored blooms with bright green berries, a sandy shade of rose, stiff leafy greens and feathery gray filler with the most fascinating ball shaped “flower.” The unusual textures and the vibrant colors combined with Terri’s artful arranging produced wonderful results that were even better than I imagined! Everything was elegant and just right. Her interesting and nontraditional flower choices had all our flower loving guests pointing and trying to figure out the names of certain blooms. She artfully wove in a few of my dad’s hand-tied fishing flies into my bouquet and a small locket in my groom’s boutonniere to honor the memory of those no longer with us. When Hurricane Irma disrupted flower deliveries, Terri quickly found suitable substitutes. In addition, the flowers were so fresh that the table arrangements still looked good more than a week later when we returned from our honeymoon. Terri was a joy to work with and I highly recommend her.
Terri is absolutely fantastic. Having Terri do the flowers was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was so full of ideas of how to make the arrangements stunning and had several suggestions of how centerpieces at the ceremony site could be re-purposed during the reception. She was very cognizant of our budget constraints and just has such a lovely personality overall. When I came to her shop I had the bridesmaid dress swatch and not much of a clue about flowers, but Terri was a pro at figuring out my style and within a week she sent me a picture of a bouquet prototype! She's amazing!
I absolutely recommend hiring Terri! She is so kind, thoughtful and easy to work with. She is truly talented - my flowers were better than I could have imagined! She listened to what I wanted, and went above and beyond while working within my budget. Hiring her was one of the easiest parts of wedding planning. On top of it all Terri is highly professional and responsive.
Terri was amazing!! We were both on the same page with what my vision was for the wedding. The flowers that she delivered the day of were above and beyond what I expected. I couldn't have been happier with both the quality of her work and the price! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
I made my own bouquets but Gorham House Florist made a few arrangements for use as decorations, they were gorgeous.
The flowers Terri made for the bridal party, parents, grandparents and myself were gorgeous and unbeatable. She agreed to take on the project even though she already had 3 other weddings booked for the weekend. She did an amazing job and was totally flexible when plans changed. She managed to get exactly what I wanted by picking my brain and using her own creativity. The flowers ended up being one of my favorite things about the wedding day.
Terri did an awesome jobs with our flowers for the wedding. She worked with us to give us amazing bouqets and a price we could afford. The flowers exceeded my expectations.
