We were very happy with our wedding flowers from Skillins! I chose a bridal bouquet of just six large flowers and they were very thoughtful in sending along an extra flower in case of any issues. All of the flowers were very fresh and still loo...
ked good days after the wedding. Skillins was very easy to work with and went above and beyond while maintaining reasonable prices.
I am so happy about with the flowers provided by Skillins. From the beginning when I had no idea what I wanted, I received great advice. The flowers were stunning, elegant, and exactly what I wanted!
We have always had great experiences at Skillins. We've used them for everything from mulch delivery to Christmas trees to perennial bulbs! Most recently we had our wedding florals done by them and loved how they came out! Would highly recommen...

Erin at Skillins Greenhouse in Falmouth, Maine created the most stunning floral arrangements for my daughter's October 2022 seaside wedding! The autumn flowers were fresh and crisp in color, simply picture perfect (truly - they were exquisite i...
n the wedding photos!!!)!
During the consultation, I could tell Erin fully understood my daughter's vision for her bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres for the groom and his groomsmen, and the arbor arrangements. We had originally intended on doing the table flowers ourselves with flowers from Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, but then decided a few weeks before the wedding to purchase bundles of coordinating blooms from Skillins, and we were so glad we made that decision! Erin was a tremendous help in finding just the right flowers to work in our many table vases.
On the day of the wedding, seeing all of the flowers in their artistically assembled beauty left us wide-eyed with delight! Erin had delivered exactly what the bride and groom had requested, perfectly completing their wedding decor. Our guests had so many kind words to say about the wedding flowers, and the bride and groom absolutely loved them!
After the wedding, we gifted many of the flowers to friends and family who had gone above and beyond in wedding preparations, all of whom reported they enjoyed the bouquets for more than a week following our celebration.
I absolutely recommend Skillins for your wedding flowers! Thank you Erin for your expertise and talent!
We absolutely loved our flowers from here. They were even better than what we had envisioned and so so beautiful. They really took our vision of the day and brought it to life. Everyone that we spoke to that works there is so amazing and helpfu...
l. We had our wedding at Chebeague Island, so the flowers had to be shipped on the ferry over and they were so helpful with providing information about that. It made the day seamless, romantic, and perfect.
My bridal bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets came out beautifully!! I am so happy with how they came out!
I ordered 1 bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquet, 8 boutonnières, and 2 wrist corsages. The price was very reasonable!

boutonnières did brown very fast and did not last the whole day.
Danielle and her team were absolutely fantastic. During our initial meeting, my mother-in-law and I showed inspiration pictures and described our vision and Danielle more than delivered on what we want. We received so many compliments on how go...
rgeous our centerpieces and bouquets were. Also, as locals, the fact that we can receive points for our Skillins account was just an added bonus!
I truly cannot say enough good things about Danielle and her team at Skillins Greenhouses. I was blown away by how beautiful and spot on the flowers were on my wedding day. I wanted a whimsical bouquet and specific colors. I could not have pict...
ured more perfect flowers. My arbor decoration was beautiful and they helped with simple directions for how to attach it to our arbor, even provided us with additional items to fasten it to the arbor. The price for what you get is honestly a deal. I got so many compliments on our flowers the day of my wedding, and continue to get compliments a month later. We kept the followers in our house after the wedding and they lasted 2 weeks, so you truly get fresh flowers for your wedding day. Book Skillins for your wedding and you will not regret it!!
Skillins created the most beautiful flowers for my wedding in September. Erin was a pleasure to work with and created floral displays and a bouquet that aligned with my wedding vision board. I would 100% recommend using Skillins for your wedd...

Because of COVID, my fiancé and I decided we wanted to do a mini wedding with our immediate family. I walked into Skillins one afternoon about a month away from our wedding date and spoke to Danielle about creating a bridal bouquet, two attendant bouquets, two corsages, and two boutonnières. She asked me what I was looking for and I described a bouquet with some faint pinks/blushes mixed with jewel tones and lots of draping greenery. Somehow we got on the topic of Harry Potter, joking about how she would create the perfect bridal bouquet for a Ravenclaw (my “house”). And let me tell you, she absolutely did! Her creations were unbelievably dreamy, romantic, and magical—I couldn’t have been happier. My bouquet was filled with dahlias, peonies, orchids, roses, succulents, berries, and gorgeous greens. The attendant bouquets matched perfectly, and the corsages and boutonnières had gorgeous greens and jewel-tones flowers. Absolutely stunning.
I cannot recommend Skillins and Danielle enough!!
Danielle did such an awesome job with all of our flowers for the wedding. My bouquet was stunning! It was exactly what I had pictured. I also had a hair piece that I loved so much. Prices were affordable.
We absolutely recommend Skillins for all of your flowers! We met with Danielle a few times and she was incredibly helpful designing the bouquets, suggesting flower types, etc., all while listening to what we wanted and needed. She was extremely...
pleasant to work with and we had a lot of fun. All of the flowers, including my hairpiece, were well made with fresh flowers. They turned out beautifully! We got so many wonderful compliments on the flowers from wedding-goers as well as people simply passing by!
I loved the flowers and arrangements we had from Skillins. I worked with Wendi and she was amazing and seemed to understand the vision I had for my wedding from the beginning. She was also very accommodating to my last minute adjustments. I hi...

We chose our local florist, Skillins, to do the flowers for my daughter's wedding on Peaks Island. Danielle met with us several times (as our ideas evolved) and was incredibly helpful and professional in helping us make our vision come to frui...
tion! The bouquets were exquisite and exactly what my daughter wanted (and even exceeded our expectations!). The arrangements for the head table and other accents were amazing as well. My sister did the arrangements, in vintage bud vases, for the tables and Danielle was so helpful and easy to work with in ordering these flowers as well. I can't recommend Skillins, and Danielle in particular, enough. You won't be disappointed.
Beautiful flowers, I loved my bouquet! Skillings listened to my ideas and created exactly what I wanted. The flowers were fresh and the final presentation was very professional. Would highly recommend them!
The flowers made our wedding!!! Danielle was amazing at her job! Couldn’t ask for a better person to work with.
I cannot recommend Skillins enough! Right from the beginning they were great! I had emailed with Danielle and gave her an idea of what I was thinking for the bouquets and when we met with her she had a bunch of loose stems and formed small arra...

Gorgeous flowers and they were very easy to work with! I gave them very little direction other than that I'd like the flowers to be pink and white and local and the results were incredible! From the bouquets to the arbor arrangement and bud vas...

nd we couldn't be happier. Everything she did photographed so well and we got many compliments from those that attended the wedding. I have had Danielle do many arrangements for me in the past and will continue to have her do more in the future. Her work is so good and I always refer Danielle to anyone needing a simple arrangement or something more elaborate. A+++, Thanks
Skillins were wonderful to work with designing our bouquets and boutineers for our wedding this fall. Everything turned out better than I imagined and they even worked with my request to only use plants and flowers that were seasonal in October...

Danielle was incredible and the flowers she created for my wedding was exactly what I wanted! She was very accommodating and worked with me to best assist me. I would absolutely use her again for another event!
Danielle was absolutely phenomenal! I had no idea what I wanted for flowers when I first met with Danielle. She was so helpful and just started putting together ideas in front of me. She has a great eye for color and flower combinations and WOW...
the final products were absolutely beautiful. Lucky for me my bridesmaids forgot their bouquets at the venue the next morning and I got to take them all home and display them around my house for weeks after! I highly recommend Skillins Greenhouses!
We could have not been happier to work with Skillin's Greenhouse and Danielle. From beginning to end the process was relaxed, informative and exactly what we wanted. No matter how many times I was hesitant with my decisions or changed my mind, ...
Danielle was so calm and patient through it all. She was easy to communicate with and we trusted her decisions without hesitation. One of the things we really appreciated was the honesty when it came to finances. Since we were on a budget they were very open with prices and how changing certain flowers can make a difference in the financial department but look just as beautiful. I would use their services again without hesitation.
Skillens is a great choice! Danielle is very easy to work with; floral creativity is great; delivery on time; and, pricing is very fair. Check this choice right off your list and feel confident all will be well!
Do not walk, run to Skillins. Danielle is fabulous - she listened to us and created exactly what we wanted. We were from out of town and came up to Maine in the winter time to talk through what kind of look we were going for for our June wedd...
ing. Being two brides, it was really lovely to work with a vendor who just "got it." So easy to work with, such a lovely experience. We could not be happier.
The flowers for my wedding were absolutely gorgeous! Skillins did a truly fantastic job! The process was so easy and they really listened to what I wanted. I was SO excited when I saw the final product! Thank you!
I discovered by accident that Skillins does weddings! I knew they were a great nursery, but I met with Danielle and she took care of everything from the planning the bouquet to delivery! I don't know flowers, but I had an idea of what my daug...
hter wanted for her wedding. Danielle created the most unique and gorgeous succulent bouquets for the bridal party, all the girls were over the moon!
If you're looking for the perfect wedding flowers, contact Danielle at Skillins in Falmouth. She's the best!

sional and brought all my ideas to reality, even better than I could have imagined! My bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets were perfect, exactly what I wanted. Our centerpieces were beautiful and so healthy, they lived for 2 weeks after the wedding! I used a lot of succulents in my bouquet/bridesmaid bouquets and have since re-planted them and they are alive and well, such a nice piece to have to remember the special day! I would highly recommend Skillins as well as Danielle to anyone looking for beautiful flowers at an excellent price, and friendly professional service!
I came across Skillin's Greenhouses at the Portland Wedding Expo in January 2016, totally judged them by the booth, how kind the employees working were, the flyer they passed out & pinterest page. All Amazing!! I emailed after the Portland We...
dding Expo to express interest and set up a consultation. I was planning my wedding from NYC, email and phone communication were key for me, and was amazing. Danielle kept in touch so well, and planned my visit to put together flowers for April (4 months before wedding in August 2016). When I went in April for my consultation, I had looked at flowers and had an idea but didn't know where to start. Danielle is so knowledgeable, and helped me get started on building a bouquet and from there we built the most amazing bridal bouquet. She helped me find cheaper options for a bridesmaid bouquet to make it similar but different and smaller than my bridal bouquet. In addition to being knowledgeable, creative, helpful, she also gives pricing options for centerpieces and boutonniere's to help with your wedding budget. After I kept in contact via email (again planning from NYC.) And my flowers showed up in the delivery window day of the wedding, and were absolutely stunning. All flower arrangements were perfect, and in pristine and fresh condition. I couldn't have worked with a better florist, Danielle, or a better company for my wedding day. I highly recommend Skillin's!
I talked with Danielle about 1 year before my wedding discussing the flowers that I wanted. She knew what I was talking about and even had some fun suggestions. Every time I went in after that (which was infrequent until the 3 weeks prior to th...
e wedding) she recognized me by name. They were helpful when discussing flowers for my hair and when I finally saw my flowers, they were exactly what I was looking for and were perfect for me and my wedding. The best part was that I, and my family, had the bouquets from the tables and my bouquet for 2-3 weeks afterwards, keeping the joy of that day with us for a long time.
This past May, after careful consideration of a number of possible floral vendors, we selected Skillins to provide all the flower arrangements for our daughter's wedding (except the bouquets, which were a gift from a guest). This involved crea...
ting the floral decor for the interior of the church, as well as the centerpieces, a few small arrangements, and the table assignment/favors (small individual cacti) for the dinner reception at The Portland Club. Danielle Arroyo, florist at Skillins, met with my daughter and me a number of times and was always readily available by phone when questions arose during the planning process. She did a terrific job of hearing what the bride envisioned in terms of color and style for the old church, as well as the centerpieces, a few small arrangements for the dessert table, etc., and the favors/table assignment pieces (small individual cacti). Danielle was creative, insightful, thorough, and timely in all facets of her interactions with us. We received many compliments about the beautiful flowers provided by Skillins; every detail exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend Skillins for wedding flowers created and offered with a wonderfully personal touch.
Skillins was the best wedding choice I made. I had a tight budget and very little flower knowledge. They helped me make decisions and even offered "cheaper" alternatives so I could have what I wanted and stay within budget. The flowers were so ...
much more amazing than I ever imagined.
The knowledge of the staff is great. It's such a great idea to get your wedding flowers from a local greenhouse because it is usually cheaper than going to a florist (who will mark up the prices). Skillin's was great and their work exceeded m...
y expectations and it was very affordable!
