York Flower Shop

Gretchen was amazing. Worked with us to understand our vision at an affordable price and was able to deliver on that vision flawlessly. A real pleasure to work with and we would definitely recommend York Flower Shop to others!

From the moment we met with Gretchen at York Flower Shop, she understood our vision and brought it to life in a way that we couldn't have imagined on our wedding day. The bouquets were stunning, exactly matching the color scheme, flowers, and style we wanted. Each centerpiece at the reception created an elegant atmosphere and our guests gushed over them. The team at York Flower Shop was incredibly professional and accommodating. They were responsive to our questions and flexible with any changes we requested. On our wedding day, everything was delivered and set up on time, without any stress on our part. If you're looking for a florist who will turn your wedding floral dreams into reality, I highly recommend York Flower Shop. They are truly passionate about their work and it shows in every arrangement they create.

York Flower Shop is superior in creating exquisite flower arrangements and creations. I knew I wanted something more bold, textured, colorful and knew that York Flower Shop would exceed my expectations and they did! From my bouquet with special details, the cross ceremony display, and centerpieces, everything was absolutely beautiful! Gretchen and her team are a pleasure to work with and will not disappoint!

York Flower Shop was amazing! We met with Gretchen for a consult and left with the contract signed and deposit paid. They were so flexible and helpful. They worked with our budget and made helpful suggestions along the way. They set up the florals at the venue perfectly. My bouquet along with the ones for my bridal party were beautiful! Highly recommend!

I LOVE YORK FLOWER SHOP! I could not have been happier with trusting them on my wedding with all my flowers, they truly brought all my ideas and visions to life. They were so professional from advising me on different types of flowers, steering me away from flowers that wouldn’t be in season and making suggestions on how to to elevate my ideas to the next level. Leading up to the day, they were incredible communicative, and helped guide me in the process of how to preserve the flowers, and what time they should be delivered to ensure that my flowers were the freshest they could be. On the day off, they were prompt, but also amazing in helping me on how to hold the flowers, how to add last minute decorations, and then even helped my husband and all his party put their flowers on. I got so many compliments throughout the night. York Flower Shop is a MUST BOOK for your wedding!

Christine and the York Flower Shop crew are absolutely AMAZING. Upon our first meeting, I didn't really know what I wanted and my ideas were everywhere. Christine immediately waded through my chaos and found my vision. Gold painted lemon leaves, tons of greenery, white orchids - all of it was absolutely stunning. I'm still in awe. They are all so sweet and very reasonably priced.

York Flower Shop went above and beyond to create gorgeous florals for our wedding! We were planning our wedding remotely and Christine and her staff made the whole planning process very easy. In discussing our vision with Christine she not only understood our esthetic, but she had many ideas on how to make it even better. And then came the day of our wedding and we were absolutely blown away by our florals – everything was STUNNING! Every arrangement, bouquet, and corsage was immaculate. We cannot recommend working with York Flower Shop enough – it was an incredible experience!

The flowers for my wedding were INCREDIBLE. So, so beautiful and masterfully arranged. They stayed beautiful the whole night, and my guests loved being able to bring home centerpieces. Pricing was extremely reasonable, and Gretchen takes care to make sure your vision comes to life.

Beautiful flowers that fit our budget. The arrangements created for the arbor were spectacular-more than we expected. the bouquets were gorgeous and exactly what we asked for. They are organized and on top of the details so we always felt confident that they would be there for my daughter on her day!

York Flower Shop did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding! They decorated the arbor with some of the most beautiful arrangements I’ve ever seen with the exact look I was going for. We worked with Gretchen and she was absolutely amazing. I gave criteria for what I was hoping my bouquet to look like and they exceeded my expectations- absolutely gorgeous with exactly the flowers and colors I was looking for. We told Gretchen what we were looking for and then she worked with us to fit it all within our budget. They were timely with the delivery of the flowers as well on the wedding morning. Everything was perfect!

Really great! The team at York Flower Shop were professional and fit our vision very well. The only thing that was different than we were anticipating were the bridesmaids flowers. It was slightly different than we expected and we had to the pin the flowers to the bridesmaids purses ourselves but perhaps there was a miscommunication there. Regardless, everyone’s flowers were beautiful and I would definitely recommend York Flower Shop as they are accommodating, flexible, and will create your vision whether you’re a simple bride like me or a Pinterest bride with detailed centerpieces.

Gretchen and the team at York Flower Shop exceeded my expectations! From our first conversations up until the wedding day, Gretchen made herself available to answer any questions I had. After agreeing on a general color palette, I handed the reins over to Gretchen and let her work her magic. What Gretchen and her team provided for our wedding was beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned. On top of that, our final quote was very reasonable, especially compared to other florists in the area. We would not hesitate to use them again for future events!

Gretchen was super laid back and easy to work with. She immediately understood my vision. The flower arrangements and bouquets were so much better then I could have imagined, I was OBSESSED. I had tons of complements from guests too! I also met Christine who delivered my flowers in perfect condition. Highly recommend!!!

York Flower Shop made the most beautiful flower arrangements for my wedding on 10/2/21! I had thought that I had somewhat of a vision for my wedding flowers going into my consultation with them, but Gretchen took what I thought was my vision and totally elevated it! The flowers that we received on the actual wedding day totally exceeded my expectations, I never knew wedding flowers could even be that gorgeous. Gretchen was also kind enough to carve time out of her busy schedule to record a video for me to show me how to arrange my centerpieces when we made the decision to forgo set-up and delivery to save some money. She totally went above and beyond when she had no obligation to, and we appreciated this so much. I also appreciated that they never pressured us to spend more money, and even gave us some cost-cutting tips when they had them. We got so many compliments from our guests about the flowers, which I don't believe is something wedding guests commonly comment on. That's how amazing they were! You cannot go wrong with using YFS for your wedding day.

Perfect decision for our big day! Gretchen and everyone did an awesome job! We received so many compliments on the flowers and centerpieces. They accommodated all of our requests and were responsive with communication! Very helpful they did the venue before!

I am so happy that we worked with York Flower Shop! They were familiar with the venue and were able to seamlessly deliver the flowers and fit into the day. During the planning process they spoke to me and my mom multiple times over the phone. I wasn't able to go there because of the pandemic, but did send pictures. Based on what we talked about over the phone they made absolutely beautiful bouquets and centerpieces. They also have lots of rentals available! I couldn't be happier!

I am so glad I hired York Flower Shop! After 2 wedding postponements and literal years of planning I was pretty over making decisions for my wedding. I felt like I gave Gretchen and Christine pretty little direction and they 100% nailed my vision! When they delivered my bouquet I think my actual words were “I’m obsessed”. It was even better than I could have imagined when I walked into the reception space. Beautiful! They made everything so easy, their communication was awesome and they gave me a very reasonable quote. My guests each have a flower arrangement in the rooms of their beach house and the flowers are just as beautiful 3 days later. Their shop in York is also super cute and I will be visiting them for flowers each time I come back. Thank you so much for everything!

Due to covid, most of our planning was done over the phone…Gretchen, Christine and the team made sure our vision was captured perfectly! The team was responsive, accommodating and a pleasure to work with. The arrangements were more beautiful than I imagined on our wedding day. Thanks for making our day a dream come true!

Christine at York Flower Shop was amazing the whole way through! She was so kind to me when we had to change the wedding a year and then when I made last minute changes to the amount of flowers(COVID restrictions, etc.). Our flowers were absolutely gorgeous and the reception space, as well as the church, was so well decorated by this team. I can’t say enough about this flower shop! Definitely book them they will bring your wedding dreams to life! Thank you Christine!!

York Flower Shop provided all the floral for our September 2019 wedding, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! When we met with Gretchen, I showed her so many pictures where I liked only one aspect of the arrangement (one flower in the arrangement, or just the bouquet size but not the flowers), and she did such an amazing job of integrating all of those things into a cohesive look for our wedding. I routinely tell people that the flowers turned out more beautiful that I could have ever imagined.

York Flower Shop has been handling events for years, and it shows. As soon as you walk into the store, you're bathed in natural beauty and are struck with all sorts of inspiration. The staff is quick, friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable. We worked with Gretchen, and she was so patient and helpful, I must have called her more than a dozen times before the big day just asking questions and making sure details were nailed down, and she was so reassuring and calmed my nerves. DAZZLING arrangements, corsages, and boots; they really brought my visions to life, and a lot of the flowers stayed alive for weeks after the wedding, which were awesome to keep around.

I used York Flower Shop for my wedding bouquets and centerpieces and they did an amazing job! I loved Dahlias before, but now I am obsessed after seeing the ones York Flower Shop used! They worked with my budget and large bridal party, and really brought to life my vision. I highly recommend them for any flower needs!

Wow! I really didn't know what I wanted for my flowers or decor when I first met with Christine. She showed me different flowers and styles and I left the meeting feeling like we had a vision! On the actual wedding day the flowers came out even better than I had imagined, so full and beautiful! YFS was also incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them!

Gretchen did a wonderful job helping us come up with beautiful ideas for our wedding and ceremony. The flowers , corsages, and decorations were very well done and within our budget. Everything looked great - highly recommend if you are getting married in the area.

I was a bride in crisis mode with a florist that would not answer my phone calls, did not understand my floral vision, could not tell me the flowers available in July or the colors they were offered in. Then I met the ladies at York Flower Shop and everything changed. When i left I felt a huge weight lifted from my shoulders and was extremely excited for my big day to come! Christine listened to every detail and created a bridal bouquet for me that was above and beyond my expectations. She knew everything there was to know about flowers. All of the details from the centerpieces, the flowers at our ceremony site, bouquets and boutonnieres, and the flowers on our cake were stunning! The staff were nice and seemed thrilled to be working with my husband and I, and the price was right on budget. We cannot thank York Flower Shop enough!

York Flower Shop did an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding. I gave them a budget and explained my vision and they truly brought it to life. I would recommend them to anyone needing flowers, thank you!

My flowers were elegant and classy! Loved them!

Amazing work! I worked with Christine on my wedding flowers, and they came out perfect. It was exactly what I envisioned for my bouquet! I highly recommend them for your wedding.

York Flower Shop restored my faith in flower shops. I’d never gotten flowers before that actually looked in real life like the picture showed they would. The bouquets and boutonnières for my wedding were absolutely stunning and every detail was perfect. We couldn’t be happier.

I worked with Gretchen primarily but all the women at York Flower Shop are wonderful! I had an initial consultation and had some sense of what I was going for, but not a lot of details so I put my trust in Gretchen. And it was a great decision! Gretchen's knowledge of florals, herbs, etc. is amazing and she nailed the aesthetic I was going for. My bouquets were beautiful and she included some unique flowers and colors. I also loved how she incorporated greens and even basil into my centerpieces - they smelled great even a week or so after the wedding! Gretchen and York Flower Shop are professional, responsive, know their stuff and just make beautiful arrangements. Best of all, Gretchen did everything within my budget and it was very reasonably priced. Book these ladies early as they get booked up and now I know why!

The absolute best! I worked with Christine and she was amazing. From the first consultation to the big day, York Flower Shop was professional, creative, responsive and friendly throughout. I showed Christine a few pictures I had found online and she was able to create an entire look and feel that was exactly what I wanted (but I didn't know how to get there on my own!). Knowing flowers are a big expense, I was nervous to hear the final number after our initial consultation and Christine could tell I was apprehensive when talking about extras. The best thing (other than their amazing "eye" for beautiful flowers) is they're willingness to work with any budget and their advice on reusing flowers from the ceremony to the reception to help the money go further! They also let us provide out own vases which saved some dollars as well. The end result felt nothing less than top notch. I would recommend York Flower Shop to any one and everyone! My bouquet was so beautiful, it had both my mom and myself crying the first time we saw it! Thank you so much, Christine and team. You made our day truly beautiful!!

I was very happy with my experience with York Flower Shop. I met with Gretchen for a consultation, and she was very polite and professional. She looked at my picture ideas, listened to my vision, and offered advice and options within my budget. She had a great professional knowledge of what would be appropriate for the season and was able to offer even more ideas. York Flower Shop did all the bouquets, as well as the boutineers for the guys, and some posies for the moms and grandmothers. They also put together some multi-function pieces, such as small flower arrangements that hung from shepherds hooks for the ceremony outside which were then were brought inside for table decorations, and the long piece that went over the arbor outside, which they made into 3 pieces and were able to drape on 3 different tables (including our sweetheart table) once the ceremony was over. The flowers and greenery came out beautifully and were everything we had imagined. (The only thing my mom didn’t love was that the posies came out bigger than she wanted. Apparently she only wanted a few stems, but they turned into small bouquets. I think she was just afraid of feeling like a bridesmaid haha!) All in all, extremely happy with York Flower Shop’s work!

I found this florist on our drive to our reception site. I am so glad that I stopped in that day. I got to speak with the wonderful team there, I realized that I just wasn't able to do everything myself, and hired them to make the top of our centerpieces for our wedding at Stage Neck Inn on Memorial Day Weekend 2017. I had a general idea of what I needed, and they helped with the final small details to make it PERFECT!!! Delivered, set up and it was amazing and stress free! Did I mention they were very fair on their price too. You will not be let down with this pick!!! Best in York Maine!!!

Loved our flowers! We worked with Gretchen to plan our wedding and she helped us come up with a theme and a tone that set the night to be magical. Would absolutely recommend

Working with York Flower Shop was so wonderful!!! We planned from out of state and they created such beautiful arrangements for our wedding day. It was such a pleasure to work with the staff!!! The flowers were so amazing and colorful!! We were so pleased and would highly recommend them!

The girls at York Flower Shop were amazing! I don't really have the first clue about flowers, and they took my jumbled mess of words and pictures, and created beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres! By far, the best florists in southern Maine!

I worked with Laura at York Flower Shop and it was an absolute pleasure! Upon meeting, she saw my vision and used her creativity to help come up with the most beautiful ideas for the ceremony and reception center pieces. She was very flexible and responsive during the final process. The flowers at both the ceremony and reception were ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I couldn't have been more pleased.

Amazing!! I just recently got married in York and could not have been happier with York Flower shop. Gretchen was so easy to work with and provided exactly what I wanted in colors. The church flowers, centerpieces, and bridesmaid bouquets were absolutely perfect! Thank you Gretchen and York flower shop!!

I worked with Christine at York Flower Shop and had a wonderful experience finding the perfect flowers for my wedding. We wanted orange in the bouquets and centerpieces and they came out absolutely beautiful. York Flower Shop was very easy to work with, they delivered flowers to the church, my hotel, and the reception to make everything easy on our part and the flowers were gorgeous. I received many compliments on the arrangements. Thanks Christine!!!

Gretchen absolutely made my vision for our wedding come to life with her designs and AMAZING flowers! From the bouquets to the archway of hydrangeas to the centerpieces, she NAILED it! Not only was the work amazing, but she made herself available for anything we needed including giving my mom her personal contact information to use on the day of the wedding - just in case. Couldn't recommend York Flower Shop more. We loved working with them.

Our venue recommended YFS to us and I am so glad they did. We met with Christine for our consult and she really understood my vision. She asked great questions; things I hadn't considered. She was also really good at explaining different things to me. I do not know much about flowers and she was willing to teach us about our different options. By the end of the consult, we had everything set and I knew our wedding would be beautiful. A few weeks before we touched base on final details. I asked for two baby's breath crowns for my flower girls and two large flowers for my maids of honor to be added to the order and she was totally flexible with this change. The day of we loved everything. We had ordered bouquets, boutonnieres, clutches for our moms, corsages for grandparents, ceremony flowers, and reception centerpieces. It was all done so beautifully and I felt like it was unique to our wedding which made the flowers seem that much more special. We really appreciate everything YSF did!

After doing a lot of research on local florists and getting frustrated by being told I should budget "$2000 - 5000" for flowers, I found York Flower Shop. After my first consultation with Christine, I immediately felt comfortable that my vision was understood and would come through in the flowers. I feel the pricing was very reasonable for the beautiful quality of flowers I received. Christine listened exactly to what I had to say regarding my likes and dislikes and I was blown away when our flowers arrived. Working with everyone at York Flower Shop was very easy and a pleasant part of the wedding planning process. I would certainly recommend York Flower Shop to other brides.

While my husband and I initially really liked our initial interaction with the shop, in the end it was their lack of communication with me that had me dissatisfied with my experience. We initially met with York Flower Shop in winter 2014 for a wedding in September 2014. We had a nice meeting and we were ready to move forwards with booking them for our wedding. Interestingly, my event planner had to push for a detailed quote, because it wasn't something they normally like to do. I guess this is because the price of flowers can change quite a bit between winter and summer. Fair enough, but seems reasonable to have something written out about what the expectations are going forwards. In the end, I received an email that included the pieces that I wanted. There was no description of the flowers I was choosing in the email. As the wedding got closer, I started hearing from my vendors about information they needed from me in order for them to do their job. For example, what music do want to hear and what specific photos do we want taken. I did not hear from the York Flower Shop. I reached out to them twice with questions that I had regarding the order. Two weeks before the wedding, I called on Monday at 2:30 pm and was told that the woman handling my account would not be available until Thursday. We did eventually connect and discussed the details of the order. We reviewed centerpieces and pieces for family members, etc. In retrospect, she did not confirm the appearance of my bouquet or the flowers for the bridesmaids, and I didn't notice because it was now 10 days before the wedding and I was completely overwhelmed. During the conversation, I was a bit put off by the reaction I got to my decision to provide my own glassware instead of paying $11 per vase for the centerpieces. This was not something that was new to them, as we had discussed it when I paid my deposit in the winter, and 3 weeks earlier when I had called to make sure I was ordering glassware they could work with. Imagine my surprise when the flowers arrive and instead of the ivory palette I envisioned, its ivory with large burgundy roses. Luckily, my event planner was able to bring them back and get them switched. In the end, the flowers were beautiful, but I was turned off by interactions (or lack of interactions) I had with the staff.

I used York Flower shop for the flowers at my wedding. I had a bridal bouquet, bridemaid's bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and decorative pieces for our pergola which all came out lovely. My complaint is that the centerpieces were not what I ordered. Instead of a orchid sunken in a vase they filled the entire vase with river rocks and put an orchid on top. My husband's boutonniere was also comically large. Although the flowers were beautiful and they worked with me on a limited budget I was very disappointed with the centerpieces. I think the problem was that the women I met with was not the person who put the vases together on the day of the wedding.

I used YFS for my bridal boutiques and boutineers and all the flowers were impressive. I have little knowledge of flowers, so when my venue recommended York Flower Shop, I was more than pleased with their professionalism and skillfulness in incorporating my color vision into a beautiful floral boutique for me to walk down the aisle. My meeting with YFS was delightfully easy and took only 30 minutes. I called them a week before the wedding to vary the drop off time slightly and not only were they flexible, but they we also acommodating. We reached out to them 45 minutes before drop off time and requested additional baby's breath to decorate my bridesmaid's hair with, which they gladly accommodated in a timely fashion. I was very happy with their services.
