Griffin's Floral & Event Design

not a traditional couple, and our wedding wasn't going to be traditional either. But, in the end, we wanted beautiful flowers to accentuate our looks for the ceremony and for photos. We reached out to Griffin's last minute, and they stepped up and really helped us out. They stayed within our budget, and helped create a lovely bouquet for Emily and I, and coursages for our mothers. We highly recommend their services!

ictures and prices attached so I knew exactly what I was ordering. A week or so before the wedding they scheduled a call with me and caught some things that I had missed that they added on for me! Day of the wedding they delivered the flowers on time and the flower arrangements exceeded my expectations! I was blown away by how beautiful they were. The boutonnieres were perfect and our mothers loved the corsages. The tall centerpieces were so big and beautiful! So many of my wedding guests complimented them. I definitely recommend Griffin's!

much during the day. After our event we took them to a retirement community where they were loved by an additional group of folks. Griffins went above and beyond to curate the perfect flowers for us and they were great and easy to work with.

es were. If you don’t use Griffin’s floral design, you’re making a mistake!

fixing it and our flowers were beautiful.

organized. If you want peace of mind knowing that everything is going to get done, everything will be in the right place, and everything will look MORE THAN GORGEOUS, Griffin's Floral is your place! Thank you, Russ!

PARK. I am SUPER particular and SUPER specific -they far surpassed what i was hoping for with minimal guidance. Everyone I worked with was a pleasure and the customer service was wonderful. The entire experience was seamless - would absolutely recommend to anyone!

remely pleased with how everything turned out, I do give a 4 star because at times communication was not the best. I would advise calling Russ for any/all questions you have, I think if I did that I would have had a 5 star experience. But on the wedding day everything was perfect and exactly what I envisioned. I would highly recommend :)

s never take roses from weddings and they have all put them in their houses! In fact, the roses smelled so good, the ballroom STILL smells like them! Their work helped make my dream of a flower garden wedding venue a reality. Thank you so much for helping create such a memorable experience for me and my husband (yay!). If I EVER need flowers again, I know exactly where I’m going!!!!!

the wedding! Mindy was so helpful and even followed up after the wedding.

produced was with poor quality flowers. I contacted Griffin’s Floral Design after doing a search of “florists in Columbus” and heard back from them that day. I was amazed that they agreed to do my wedding on such short notice. When speaking with Russ, I was so impressed by his professionalism, his ease in understanding my vision, and his fair pricing. On my wedding day, the flowers were breathtakingly beautiful. Every arrangement was fresh, elegant, and whimsical. Russ and his team are truly gifted and wonderful to work with! I would recommend him to any bride!

ing with Russ and appreciated that he helped us stay within our budget.

budget but he was conscious to ensure he did not go over our budget. The arrangements and bouquets were absolutely gorgeous. I added an order of mini roses for the top of the cake a couple weeks before the wedding and he was great about the addition. He's very prompt and quick to respond. It was definitely worth the expense of fresh flowers and Russ is an artist with florals. Everything looked so magnificent and the ballroom was stunning with the arrangements.

beautiful. The bridesmaids said they love the bouquets, and I had many guests compliment the flower selection. 5 stars!

ouquet and a couple large centerpieces (not thinking we would get anything that would compare). Russ and his team proved me wrong. My bouquet was BEAUTIFUL! I had never seen anything like it. The large arrangements we had him do for our head table and escort card table far exceeded anything I could imagine. They were absolutely stunning. We had so many guests compliment how absolutely breath taking they all were. Griffins Floral far exceeded my expectations and took my vision to a whole new level. Thank you for making our wedding so magical!

eative. To avoid exceeded my budget, Russ provided numerous options that still aligned with my vision. He provided the bouquets that I envisioned within my color scheme. My bouquet was vibrant, fresh, and exactly what I wanted. The centerpieces and ceremony floral arrangements were absolutely beautiful. I received nothing but compliments regarding all of the floral arrangements! He truly has a creative approach and implements his customers’ visions. I would recommend Griffins Floral & Event Design to anyone needing a creative florist!

e!

was one of those brides with a general idea but no solid footing on what exactly I wanted. He threw out ideas, gave me time to ponder and do my research. Needless to say, his ideas, and his work, are absolutely amazing! My centerpieces and my personal bouquet were total surprises to me, as I gave him full range to do whatever given specific flowers I liked, colors I wanted, and price I wanted to spend. I was NOT disappointed! My bouquet was amazing! I cried when I saw it in fact! My centerpieces were the talk of not only my guests, but the staff at my reception! Thank you Russ and the rest of your staff for making flowers that wowed everyone! You were well worth it!

reception floral arrangements were show stoppers and the bridal party flowers had unique & special touches that set them apart from the typical bouquets & boutonnieres. Russ and his staff worked well with all of us to stay on budget and to give suggestions. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any type of event as well as everyday floral needs. They are creative, professional & delightful to work with.

up several times so that's who we chose. We met with Russ and told him what we wanted for the Brides' bouquet and the bridesmaid's bouquets. Russ started tossing different flower ideas around and since we really didn't know much about flowers we were left to put our faith and trust in his hands. We are so glad we did as the bouquets were more stunning than we could have imagined. I would recommend Russ's Floral Design to everyone. A true Professional!!!

d the doors to the Ballroom at Corazon and saw the beautiful presentation of soft ivory, creams, and champagne colors permeate the room. Oh, and the aroma of the roses was so sweet! The pearls in the bottoms of all the vases was the finishing touch that set the tone that my daughter was looking for. The soft candle glow from the tall water vases was beautiful. I highly and without any reservation recommend Russ and his talented staff to anyone looking for a wedding event that makes a statement that will be remembered. Our last visit with Russ was amusing because I wanted to make sure things would be ready for the day of. He looked at me directly and said, "you have nothing to worry about....you are in very good hands". Russ's company delivers and we were in very good hands!

lighting and over the top centerpieces at the reception. I had a specific vision in mind for my "royal ball", and Russ worked so hard to fully understand everything I was imagining. I could not have asked for anything better. Russ went above and beyond to make my day absolutely amazing. I highly recommend him!

business and after that first meeting all my concerns about flowers, lighting, decor were laid to rest. Russ can do whatever you see in the high end bridal mags and he can also tell you honestly what he can do to capture the spirit of those concepts in your price range. It was the best decision my wedding planner made. Highly recomended !

rs that day! The centerpieces were simply stunning, and set the tone and the atmosphere for the reception. When we had our initial meeting with Russ, she immediately knew she wanted Griffins's to handle her wedding flowers. Our daughter gave him her colors, told him what she didn't want, and Russ did the rest. She was confident that, with his creativity, he would do the very best job. He took everything, down to the design of her dress, into consideration. Our daughter gave him free reign with her bouquet, and it was so unique and simply beautiful...she trusted Russ so much that she had no idea what her bouquet would look like until it arrived on her wedding day. Since then, EVERYONE we see who attended the wedding comments on how beautiful the centerpieces were. Russ and his team had a huge part in making the day just what our daughter and her (now) husband had envisioned, and we can't thank him enough.

e pleased. With the candelabra arrangements, the flowers on the chancel, the wreaths on the double doors, and the hydrangeas adorning the pews, it was perfect. Elegant, classy, and just right for the space. Over the past many months, I found myself second guessing our decision to go all white and cream colored flowers. But as we neared Stephanie's wedding, I let it go. I realized that we were in experienced, professional hands and that you would not steer us wrong. With all of the choices and colors and styles out there, you were able to size up my daughter and determine what SHE wanted, maybe even before she knew herself. You recognized that she wanted elegant and romantic. Traditional, but with some modern touches. All I can say is that you hit it out of the park, Russ. When I walked into that ballroom, my breath was taken away. I was overwhelmed by the scent of flowers and the ambience. Candlelight flickered everywhere, crystals reflected the light, and the flowers, themselves, were magnificent. I cannot tell you how many guests came up to me to compliment the decor and to inquire as to who our florist was. It was everything we had hoped for, and more; it was like a wedding in heaven. Even though Stephanie did not have a theme, per se, her gown, the ballroom venue at the Westin, the church decor at Worthington Presbyterian, and the floral design all came together. It was as if there had been a master plan from the beginning. And so, I thank you for making our dreams a reality. It was a wonderful day for both the Easley and Mayberry families, and I can't wait to see the photographs and the video. Thanks again for helping to make Stephanie's and Tim's wedding a day we will always remember. Sue Easley, proud mother of the bride

vision to life while staying in my budget. He was honest about what he thought would look good-which was SO helpful! I had no idea what flowers looked good together and he was able to put the PERFECT combination together to make my wedding reception the most beautiful room I could've imagined. Utilize his lighting if your budget allows-it really set the mood in our reception room and we got so many compliments on it! Russ was very hands on and quick to respond to any calls or emails. He is AMAZING!

ception... she wanted "A Royal Ball". On August 17, 2013... Russ Griffin and his team transformed St. Charles into one of the most beautiful places on earth. The flowers and lighting were stunningly beautiful!! Throughout the evening... and for days to follow... our family and friends made some of the nicest comments we could ever imagine hearing. One friend was so impressed by the planning and details... that she sent us a card raving about the event. She summed it up with two words, "absolute elegance!" We could not be happier with Russ and his team. We are raving fans... and would recommend Griffin's Foral & Event Design to anyone.

s from different countries! Example: My family is Irish, therefore Russ ordered a few bells of Ireland to put in each centerpiece. Absolutely the best florist around, hands down! Megan and Eric

out beautifully and I received many compliments. My only complaints were that candles were already blown out by the time I arrived at the reception and were very noticeable. The staff at Griffin's were very difficult to reach, and when I COULD reach them their emails were very unhelpful and short.

designed my entire wedding around! Incredible designers with amazing vision. When I saw the finished centerpieces I was breathless. So beautiful. All of our guest were very impressed.

estiny that we saw their booth at the Aladin Shrine bridal show and my nephew happens to be named Griffin. Perfect. Russ was great throughout our initial meeting and stayed WITHIN budget! I was so happy when we walked out with everything we wanted at the cost we wanted, which as we paid for everything ourselves we were on a strict budget. The day of the wedding there was a couple issue that was quickly resolved the day of. To completely change my tone Russ, the owner of Griffin's floral personally called me twice to follow up on any issues we encountered and took full responsibility for anything that went wrong. I admired his absolute resolve to make sure I was happy even after all was said and done. All in all we wanted to support our local vendor. The flowers were beautiful! I cannot tell you how many comments I had on my bouquet. I had asked for one orchid as a tribute to my mother's wedding bouquet. Instead of one I ended up with half a dozen beautifully placed orchids. Thanks Russ!

so creative! I only had my colors in mind and after brainstorming with Russ, he was able to tune into my style and really produce an event that words cannot describe! Russ has now become a wonderful family friend and i will always be thankful for what he has done for us. I will not hesitate to call Griffin's Floral & Event Design for ALL future events!

king with Russ since my first daughter got married 5 years ago. He was recommended to me by a group of vendors and I am so glad that I checked him out. He and his staff are the most pleasant people to work with. They will bend over backwards to make sure you are happy and satisfied. He takes the time to meet with you, answer all of your questions and makes you feel comfortable. He may make suggestions that he sees will make your event more magical, but he would never pressure you into buying more than you want or need. That is just the beauty of Russ. At my first daughters wedding, she wanted red roses in a pave style for her wedding. Russ came through. All of her bridal bouquets looked wonderful. For the reception, the theme was carried through with the same style for the guests tables. Russ came up with a beautiful design for my daughters head table with tons of candles. It looked amazing! The guests were in awe and are still talking about that wedding to this day. Since, I have used Russ for my Mom and Dad's 50th wedding anniversary celebration, and now that my last daughter is getting married, I am using him for her wedding. I know I wont be disappointed! Russ has this amazing ability to see a vision after talking with a client or he can replicate any picture you bring to him. He truly is one of a kind ! Check him out... (will keep you posted once the wedding is over)

e live out of state, however, Russ made everything easy with phone calls, emails, and was flexible with meeting with us when we came to town. On the wedding day, all the flowers were perfect! The bouquets and boutonniere's were gorgeous as were the centerpieces at all the tables. We and our guests were amazed at how beautiful the reception room looked and a large part of that was thanks to the flower arrangements. I even had to call Russ around 7:00 pm the night before our 11a.m. ceremony as I had totally forgotten about a pillow for the ring bearer. Russ ensured he would get something together for us and he sure did! He found the perfect pillow at such short notice! I had also asked him to come up with a unique centerpiece/tree for our leaf seating chart. I was very impressed with his design-it was unique and beautiful! We can't thank or recommend Russ enough!
