    Stunning flowers for your special day!

    My Daughter's decision to book GIDAS FLOWERS for her wedding was the best decision she could have made! From the very first visit, I felt like Amy went out of her way to listen to exactly what she wanted, to show us each of the flowers we were planning to use (no other florist did this), and to make suggestions, based on their own experiences. When the flowers arrived on my daughter's wedding day, they were EXQUISITE, probably THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS I HAVE EVER SEEN! There were very few fillers and mostly beautiful high-quality roses and ranunculus. GIDAS FLOWERS made the tables, the wedding arch, the table seating chart, the cake, and the bridal party's, mother's, and grandmother's bouquets stunning. Everything together made the venue look magical! I am a type A, very picky personality, and honestly there isn't anything I would change. I will add pictures shortly so you can see for yourselves. Book GIDAS FLOWERS for your wedding, so it can be the best decision you ever make!

    The most gorgeous wedding flowers

    Gidas did such a beautiful job with our flowers. I had a good feeling from the beginning as Amy was the only person we met with at various shops who actually brought in flowers to show us and went through different options to figure out exactly what we wanted. The flowers were way beyond expectations. I snuck down before putting on my dress to see everything and just started crying because everything looked so perfect. My cascading bouquet was phenomenal and I loved what they did with arch flowers, centerpieces, flowers for on the cake, and seating chart. I have been getting texts and calls for days from people asking who we got flowers through because they were so gorgeous. Throughout the whole process, the communication with Gidas was top notch and they were really receptive to extra things I added.

    Gidas Flowers is a 10 out of 10!

They had some fantastic ideas that helped fulfill the vide and theme of the day - their knowledge of florals and options was outstanding, they kept us in budget. and the final result was breathtaking!

    Gorgeous flowers and amazing team 💕

    Gidas made our floral dreams come true for our August wedding. Our flowers were absolutely stunning - they were everything we envisioned and more. Laurie was absolutely amazing to work with. 100/10 recommend working with Gidas! Photo credit (for first two photos) to Linnea Marie Photography!

    Beautiful flowers and service

    Gidas Flowers was super responsive to my questions and needs throughout the planning process. They immediately responded when I reached out and scheduled a consultation meeting. The team took the time to discuss potential arrangements with me and reached out when they had questions. They answered questions via email in a timely manner. They arranged floral drop off with myself and the day of coordinator in a way that was timely for us all. The floral arrangements were beautiful and met my expectations. I look forward to preserving the bouquet and keeping the flowers as a forever memory.

    The team was able to bring my vision to life through phone, Facetime, and email discussions. The price was reasonable and they delivered and set up everything. We were very satisfied with their services.

    Felt like a field of wildflowers

    We met with a number of floral vendors for our big day, but it was pretty clear right out of the gate that Gida’s was the one we wanted to go with. Not downplaying anyone else, they were just that good! In our initial meeting they were able to build samples and paint us a really clear picture with ease and made visualizing the entire setup possible. They were communicative and great to work with from start to finish and helped things go off without a hitch even when we got a small curveball or two. They made everything work with our budget which was important and made the most of every element. At the end of the day, everything was absolutely lovely and the work they did helped to elevate every aspect of our wedding. Would 100% recommend to anyone out there looking for a wedding florist who gets it and knows how to take that special day to the next level.

    Gidas flowers in incredible!

    Gidas Flowers is incredible! From our initial consultation to our wedding day, working with their team was awesome. Gidas was great with communication and responded to our emails/questions right away, always going above and beyond to ensure our vision came to life! Can't recommend Gidas Flowers enough!

    Amazing from start to finish

    Gidas flowers did an amazing job with our daughter's wedding. Our daughter didn't know exactly what she wanted but she brought inspiration photos to the meeting and Laurie was able to find exactly the right style and vibe she was going for. In addition, our daughter did not live in Pittsburgh but the wedding was being held in Pittsburgh (our home town). Laurie did an excellent job of communicating through email and facetime to make sure our daughter felt included in every decision. We would absolutely use them again, especially for a large event that needed many hands.
    The ONLY negative thing I would say, and it won't be a negative for all but may impact someone's ability to hire them for a large event, they do not take credit cards for large orders. Cash or check is all that is accepted for events. I think they do accept credit cards for in store purchases etc, but for large events, it's cash or check. This wasn't an issue for us as we had our daughter's wedding budget in mind when we booked with them, but for others it might be an issue. Other than that, however, there was not a single thing I would want any different!

    Gorgeous flowers!!!

    We originally had asked my in-laws to assist us in flower design, since they had recently done it for my sister-in-law's wedding, but a health issue arose that made that impossible. When we started to look for florists, we were only a few months out from the wedding. Gidas stepped right up and made everything we wanted possible. They never made us feel stressed about the short timeline, especially since we were getting married on a holiday (New Year's Eve). The initial consultation was like no one else's - Laurie sat with me and went through every single thing that we wanted, down to the specific flower and greenery preferred. The flowers were absolutely S T U N N I N G - we could not have asked for prettier arrangements. We got pieces for our arch, bouquets, wreath centerpieces, and small arrangements for our cocktail tables. Gidas made what was originally a very stressful part of our wedding into the smoothest part by far! We are so thankful for their work and their flowers!

    Amazing Florist!

    I worked with Gidas Flowers for a COVID postponed wedding that took place in early August 2021. Laurie and the team were amazing to work with from day one. From an initial consultation where she gave me a great amount of information, education on florals/greenery, and options to work within our budget. They were very responsive and provided great communication throughout the wedding planning process. From delivery of personal bouquets and boutonnieres to the hotel, to centerpieces, cake flowers, and accent arrangements, everything was flawless!

    Wedding Vendor

    We are so happy we chose Gidas flowers for our wedding! Laurie is both professional and creative- expanding on what my original vision was and making it that much better. When the pandemic hit the entire team was flexible and accommodating with changes as they came. We loved working with them and couldn’t have been happier with end product.

    Easy Planning and Incredible Results!

    Gidas Flowers was an incredible vendor to work with for our October wedding. We initially booked Gidas without an in-person consultation as we live out of state – a simple phone call and browse through their wedding gallery and we knew they were the right vendor for us. At our consultations, it felt like Jason and Laurie read my mind when they created a sample bouquet and centerpiece that was exactly what I was hoping for. In addition to the beautiful bouquets, Gidas created simple, elegant centerpieces for our reception, and an incredible floral installation to decorate the arch used for our outdoor ceremony. We couldn’t recommend Gidas enough.

    A family business with lots of experience

    Laurie was so wonderful to work with. I knew nothing about flowers when I walked into their shop, but I felt very confident in them when I left. I had met with other florists, and none of them made me feel as comfortable as this one. Laurie spent time meeting with us, pulling samples of flowers so we could visualize exactly what we were getting. This is a family business, and it shows. Laurie even went the extra mile to meet with me a 2nd time closer to the wedding, attach a charm (a gift with photos of my late grandparents) to my bouquet, and help us choose the little details, like the perfect ribbon for the corsages. They did not push any purchases on us that weren't necessary and helped us stay within a reasonable price.

    Great team to work with and beautiful arrangements

    Gidas was amazing to work with and my flowers were gorgeous!! I came to Jason and Laurie without a real vision of flowers in mind, but through simple conversation of options, Jason created a beautiful proposal of classic cream roses and more! The team was punctual, responsive, and involved. I loved our arrangements of flowers and received an array of compliments! Thank you Gidas for the most beautiful flowers I didn't even realize I was envisioning for my day!!

    Gidas did a great job finding, and using our chosen flowers. They had great ideas we would have never thought of, and did a fantastic job on our dog's collar (she was our flower girl).

    Beautiful, affordable, flexible.. so great!

    An awesome business that I coincidentally booked out of convenience turned out to be one of the best decisions! So grateful to Laurie for all her help in formulating and delivering the plan for our arrangements, she was so helpful for my indecisive mind! Everything was perfect!

    Loved working with Gidas

    Gidas, and specifically, Laurie was absolutely wonderful to work with for my wedding. I didn't have a precise vision of what I wanted for my wedding flowers, but at our initial meeting, Laurie helped guide me based on pictures I found on Pinterest and photos of the venue. When it came time for the mock up, it wasn't quite what we had envisioned, and on the spot she fixed it and made it perfect! It just goes to show how much she understood my vision and her desire to get it right. Throughout the process they were very communicative with me and with my wedding planners. The flowers at my wedding were show stopping, and I am so, so glad I chose Gidas!

    amazing, would choose them again!

    I am SO happy I went with Gidas Flowers. They were a great team to work with and were very affordable and really worked with me on keeping the costs to fit into my budget while also answering all my questions (which were a lot!!)… They gave me ideas on their own while totally doing what I asked. Between my mother and I we could be kinda bossy at times (I was a bride who knew what she wanted!) and they totally worked with us and were so nice and cooperative. Very responsive and I do not have one single complaint. They did a fabulous job. Thank you so much!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5vhOXpcq-I to check out our wedding video which shoes the reception beautifully. Modern simple babies breath and all white reception with pops of color during cocktail hour.

    Beautiful and Elegant

    Working with Gidas Flowers was amazing. Laurie knew so much about flowers, thank gosh because I didn't! She listened to exactly what I wanted and they were beyond what I was expecting. We definitely recommend this shop for your wedding flower needs!

    Gidas made the most perfect bouquets and boutineers for our wedding! They were stunningly beautiful. Gidas were kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. They delivered to the chapel right on time and were reasonably priced as well. I would definitely recommend their services!

    We used Gidas for our June wedding and they were awesome! Our ceremony was at Heinz Chapel and since they are familiar with the venue, the flowers were ready to go for us when we arrived at the Chapel. During planning, we had an appointment to see the sample centerpiece for the reception and they had made a few changes to what we talked about during the consultation and I was so happy because they made additions that I was going to suggest myself. My fiancé was also particular about the boutonnieres and didn't want large flowers and they put together some eucalyptus and wax flowers and it made both of us happy. Would definitely recommend because the flowers were beautiful and the staff was so pleasant to work with.

    Gidas Flowers put together the wedding floral arrangements of my dreams! Laurie, Carole and Jason were a pleasure to work with, and they made my vision come to life! While their range of offerings and work was incredibly broad (such a plus!), they were able to perfectly pinpoint and provide suggestions to match our aesthetic and give us the clean, classic and elegant look we were going for. Coming from someone like me who is obsessed with flowers, I can say these were the most gorgeous wedding arrangements I have ever seen! And an added bonus, almost two weeks after my wedding, I still have my bridesmaids rose bouquets in water and they are look just about as perfect as they did the day of. Would recommend over and over again!

    I was more than pleased with all the flowers at my daughter's recent wedding. The bouquets were even more beautiful than I imagined and the centerpieces were exactly what I pictured. The guests were extremely complimentary about the centerpieces! And Gidas was very reasonble as well!!!

    Absolutely stunning. The staff is incredible, prompt, and kind. Will recommend them to everyone! So thankful they were a part of our big day. The flowers were gorgeous. By far some of the nicest people we worked with.

    My flower were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Our consultation was easy and I never felt overwhelmed or intimidated. The flowers arrived flawless and gorgeous. The best part was they didn't break the bank either. I felt I got everything I paid for and it was such incredible quality.

    Gidas did an amazing job with all of our flowers. We used them for our wedding day and could not be happier. We initially had family health issues arise so we put wedding planning on hold (even though we only had a few months left) they stayed in contact and reached out to me as I had a lot going on. If it weren't for them staying in contact we wouldn't have had a florist and by some miracle they still had our wedding date available. I would not recommend waiting as they do a great job and book up fast. I changed my mind from the initial meeting months prior and did so right before the final payment. They were more than accommodating. My bouquet changed as well as the bridesmaids to entirely different flowers as well as centerpieces. On the wedding day I was so nervous since I had not seen a sample because I changed everything but I was amazed my bouquet was stunning and exactly what I wanted! The centerpieces were beautiful and really fit for our venue and reflected our style perfectly. They also did the floral arrangements for the aisle. The most amazing part besides them arriving on time and working with wedding coordinator to get everything where it needed to be was that the flowers were perfect (did not wilt out in the sun or brown and the next morning when we went to cleanup they were all still in perfect condition including centerpieces that were left in a barn overnight in middle of summer. That shows you the quality of flowers they use. I would recommend them to anyone that wants professional people that will make floral arrangements exactly like how they want and communicate with them throughout the process.

    The Gidases have been longtime friends of my parents, and when it came time to plan the arrangements for our wedding, there was no questions that we would go with them! Both of my sisters had their flowers done by Gidas, and they have always done such an amazing job.

    Our initial meeting was with Jason. We came with pictures of types of flowers that we liked (including succulents) and ideas of color schemes. Jason was able to find flowers that complimented those that we liked, and really arranged some beautiful pieces. A few weeks before the wedding, we met back up with Jason to go over an actual piece, and it looked even better than we imagined. The team at Gidas did a wonderful job getting all of the pieces just right. They worked with our venue to set up delivery and everything was managed very well. The whole team was professional and amazing. We would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the Pittsburgh area.

    Carole and her staff did such a great job with our wedding at Wildwood Golf Club. She knew exactly what I was talking about when I described different spaces, and helped work with my now-husband and I to create the space we wanted. On our wedding day, everything showed up looking fresh and beautiful, and now five days later I am still looking at a gorgeous bouquet on my desk. I look forward to using Gida's again for any and all of our flower needs in the future.

    Gida's made ordering our flowers effortless! After our first meeting I had nothing to worry about up to the day. We only used flowers for bouquets and boutonnieres (we chose various candles for our centerpieces) but they didn't make me feel any less important of a client or that my order was not a priority just because it wasn't large. They knew exactly which flowers to use to get the looks and colors I wanted (helpful because I know very little about types of flowers) and helped to stay within my budget while keeping the vision I wanted. Everything was delivered right on time the morning of and stayed beautiful and fresh the entire day.

    Gidas Flowers was the perfect choice for our wedding at Soldiers and Sailors. They had worked the venue before so they could really give us an idea of what would look good in such a large (high ceiling) venue. They were especially helpful as the initial planning occurred over the phone (I live out-of-state) while scrolling through a gallery of their previous work. The in-person mock-up session of our table flower arrangements blew me away. They even accommodated us to allow for a Saturday morning visit! The flowers looked fantastic on our wedding day. I especially loved my bouquet. It was exactly what I was imagining and it held up really well from the first-look through the end of the reception.

    Gidas provided us with our flowers. They came out beautiful. We set up a meeting about 6 months before our wedding and discussed what our color scheme was. Gidas was able to put together a sample of what they thought would look good for our colors and it turned out amazing. We loved working with them. They were so helpful and provided very beautiful arrangements and center pieces.

    Gidas Flowers wowed me from the first consultation I had with them. Laurie and Carole were fantastic to work with and put me at ease. The perk of having the consultation in the shop is that Carole was able to run in the back and grab a flower she wanted to show me. She even spray painted some seeded eucalyptus as an example for me and showed me pictures of how they would incorporate it into the bouquets and centerpieces. Flowers are a lot of money but they were the only decor we were having. Gidas worked with us to give us everything we wanted and made great suggestions on how we could save a little bit of money as well. We purchased bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnieres, flower girl petals, toss bouquet, aisle runner, glass votives and ceremony decor from Gidas for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, I was floored with how amazing the flowers were. They were even able to incorporate part of my mothers dress into my bouquet which was perfect. From start to finish, Gidas was phenomenal and were consummate professionals.

    My husband and I used Gidas Flowers for our floral wedding decorations just a few weeks ago. We were impressed from the very beginning. They worked hard to stay within our budget, and were patient with us as we knew nothing about flowers at all. We had a few minor changes throughout the process, and they were great communicators the whole time. They created beautiful arrangements for the day of, including my bouquet, my bridesmaids’ bouquets, a small throw-away bouquet, boutonnières for our groomsmen and dads, corsages for our moms, and two large basket arrangements for in front of our church’s altar. (We planned on reusing everything for the reception.) All I knew going into our first appointment was that I wanted Fall-themed flowers, and they did a great job. Since our wedding was on a Saturday at 11am and they wouldn’t be able to deliver in time that morning, we had to pick up our flowers Friday afternoon. Everything worked out great and they were very accommodating. My then-fiancé picked up the flowers as arranged, and they were prepared and helped him load them into the car. They told me in advance everything that I would need to preserve the flowers overnight, and they were in beautiful shape for the wedding the next morning. They did a great job and we heartily recommend them!

    I can't say enough good things about Gidas Flowers! I really had no idea what flowers I wanted and when I brought in some pictures they made the flowers look perfect. They dropped the flowers off at the chapel and at the reception place and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Everything was great thanks so much!!

    Let me start this review by saying two things: 1. I know very little about flowers 2. I use Pinterest a lot I had a very specific idea in my head of what I wanted my flowers to look like for my wedding day. I also had a very specific budget (thank you Pinterest). When I met with Laurie at Gidas Flowers, she knew exactly the kind of aesthetic I was aiming for, and showed me what flowers we could use to get it, while still staying in budget. Laurie and team were so easy to work with, and were able to keep up with any last minute changes we made. Laurie had great ideas that helped tie our wedding day decor all together. The flowers were delivered on time and were beautiful. I was brought to tears when I saw my bridal bouquet! It was exactly what I wanted. The centerpieces were also perfect, subtle and classy. I'm so happy with Gidas Flowers!

    I would highly recommend Gidas for wedding flowers. Jason and Laurie were great to work with. They were extremely responsive and accomodating. We were planning from out of town and couldn't meet in person for a few months. They made a mock up centerpiece and sent us a picture via email. It really helped us visualize everything. They were on time the day of and everything was perfect! From our bouquets to ceremony flowers and centerpieces were all so beautiful! They helped our day be exactly what we wanted. I would recommend them to anyone having a wedding in Pittsburgh!!

    I cannot say enough good things about working with Gidas for my wedding. The flowers turned out absolutely beautifully and every bouquet and centerpiece was gorgeous. Every individual that I worked with at Gidas was very responsive and helpful and they made choosing the flowers for my wedding incredibly easy and stress-free. I highly recommend them and promise that you will not be disappointed!

    I cannot say enough great things about Gidas! The entire staff was wonderful to work with. Laurie and Carol designed the most beautiful arrangements for our entire wedding. What we REALLY loved about Gidas was that they order your flowers and do mock up arrangements of what you talked about in depth on your first meeting. It was so relieving to see them arranged before the wedding so I knew they would be perfect. They were actually even more wonderful at the wedding than the mock up (which were still amazing!). We received many compliments on the flowers at our wedding. I HIGHLY recommend working Gidas. They are excellent in service, professionalism and responsiveness to emails/calls.

    I worked with Laurie Gidas at Gidas Flowers and she was quite professional and willing to work with me long-distance (I planned my wedding from another state). When I first met Laurie, I actually missed our first meeting (due to me forgetting to update my calendar for the time change from my state to Pennsylvania) and she worked me into her schedule later in the day. I really appreciated the flexibility even though I was unbelievably embarrassed that I had made such a stupid mistake. I had given Laurie just an idea of the type of bouquet I wanted because I do not know much about flowers, flower arrangements, and flower names. From the general idea she was able to make a beautiful arrangement for my wedding and she was willing to take things out or add things in when I felt a change was needed. The price for the flowers was a bit high, however I knew that it would be expensive going into it and the bouquets ended up looking fantastic at our wedding venue so it was worth it in the end. We ended up getting 1 bridal bouquet, 5 bridesmaid bouquets, 17 centerpieces, and 1 toss bouquet.

    I used Gidas for my wedding flowers in August 2014. Laurie helped me mostly and she was very patient and helped me make my decisions. They met me a few different times and I saw my flowers a few days before the wedding and was unhappy with a few things. They went out of their way to make the necessary changes to ensure that I was happy with everything. The flowers turned out beautifully!!!

    Laurie is amazing! We brought pictures of the bouquets and described what we wanted for the boutonnieres when we met with her. The final products were exactly what we wanted. The entire process was easy, from all meetings and e-mails, payments, and delivery of the flowers on our wedding day before the ceremony. We highly recommend working with Gidas Flowers!

    LOVED my flowers! Laurie is very sweet, knowledgeable and easy to work with. She helped shape my vision, and answered all my emails very timely. They delivered all flowers on time to our hotel room, and made the fresh flowers on our cake look so pretty. Very happy with Laurie and everyone at Gidas. Their work was beautiful and she offered tons of ideas and wonderful service. Would return again for any other flower needs in future.

    Laurie and her team at Gidas Flowers did an amazing job on our wedding flowers! We had so many guests comment to us on how gorgeous the flowers were, that they were elegant yet simple, and everyone wanted their website to see what other flowers and products they offer. I took my mom and matron of honor to the shop to meet with Laurie and didn't have much of an idea about what I wanted in our wedding flowers but she helped me create the most gorgeous arrangements for the centerpieces, place card table, bridesmaid bouquets, and mothers corsages. I can't say enough about the fantastic customer service, value for my money, and gorgeous creations that the team did for us.
    Thank you for playing such a significant role in our dream wedding :)

    Laurie and her team at Gidas Florists were awesome to work with. They answered every email, phone call and concern I had. They were also very flexible with working with me and taking my ideas and making them into something beautiful !

    Gidas was the Florist at my sisters wedding 20 years ago! They were definitely worth the return visit and selection for my wedding!

    We are so happy we booked Gidas Flowers for our August 17, 2013 wedding. Laurie was a pleasure to work with and was extremely easy to get ahold of.

    Our flowers were truly breathtaking. Everything from the bouquets, to the altar arrangements, to the centerpieces and the flowers on the cake, was absolutely perfect. We were blown away by each and every item provided by Gidas. We also provided rosary beads and bouquet charms. They were interwoven so perfectly into my bouquet, and we are having it preserved!

    Thanks Gidas Flowers!!

    Laurie and everyone at Gidas did an EXCELLENT job for our wedding. I was so happy with the way all of the flowers turned out. I worked with Laurie the entire time and was really happy with the whole process. She was extremely helpful in suggesting ideas based off of what I was thinking of and always willing to run with whatever ideas I had. It was so stress-free to make decisions because she made it clear that it was fine to change my mind at any point (which I did a lot!) They were also awesome with the deliveries, even making a special stop to take our bouquets to the hotel before taking the rest of the ceremony flowers to the church. Great company with amazing service. Highly recommend!!

    Gidas flowers did an amazing job with our wedding flowers! Working with Laurie was great and she was really easy to get in touch with. I was trying to have beautiful flowers without going overboard with the budget, and she really worked with me to try and get what I wanted without spending a fortune. It was great that everything was delivered and I didn't have to worry about setting up anything, and Laurie had a great idea of keeping our bouquets in vases at the head table as extra decor, as well as to keep them looking fresh through the reception. The flowers were gorgeous and I would recommend Gidas Flowers to any future brides.

    Couldn't have asked for a better florist. The centerpieces and bouquets/corsages were absolutely beautiful! Every staff member at Gidas was so friendly and helpful - made the experience fun and painless.

    Laurie at Gidas Flowers is absolutely phenomenal. She was always patient with my indecisiveness and happy to switch things up, and the end result was absolutely stunning and exceeded my expectations 10 fold. And the prices were SO incredibly affordable--we were able to have our dream wedding flowers for a very modest budget.

    The flowers for our wedding were absolutely gorgeous!!! I was speechless when I got to the venue and saw our bouquets! We couldn't have been happier! I have never seen more beautiful flowers. The colors were so vibrant! It was better than I could have imagined. Carole and Laurie were very helpful and receptive when we met to discuss the arrangements. They are so creative and have amazing ideas! They worked with me on my budget and helped to cut cost, but are worth every penny! Everyone is still talking about them! I cannot thank them enough for all their hard work!

    My husband and I really enjoyed working with Gidas Flowers for our wedding. In our initial meeting, we brought in photos of different types of centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres, and they provided us with several suggestions as to what would look good based on their experience, especially concerning my bouquet. Gidas coordinated with our venue, Phipps, on day-of delivery, so we hardly even had to think about our flowers after we made our final decisions (major stress reducer). Everything was delivered without issue and looked beautiful; we received so many compliments on the bouquets and centerpieces!

    It was very humid with a chance of rain on our wedding day, so Gidas made an executive decision to put a plastic handle on all of the bouquets rather than use a fabric wrap, which I didn't mind in the least, but I could see how some brides might mind. We also had live orchids as our centerpieces, and my husband pointed out that they weren't in the pots that we picked during our meeting (I didn't even notice). Neither of us cared that the pots were different, since the ones that they used were still beautiful, but again I could see how some brides might mind. We were 100% pleased with our flowers and all of Gidas' services, so if their making executive decisions concerns you, I'm sure they would be responsive if you said you wanted to be involved in any decision. I would definitely recommend Gidas!

    We were beyond thrilled! My bouquet was gorgeous, and I loved the bridesmaids' bouquets too! The delivery of the bridal party's flowers to my home was perfectly on time. At the reception, the centerpieces were even more gorgeous than I envisioned (3 vases with orchids, tulips "floating" in water). I loved the flowers on our cake and the and the floating peonies and floating candles on the escort table...It was just gorgeous...and a nice surprise! Also wanted to thank Laurie for unexpectedly having to come back late that night to pick up the vases without complaint or charging us.

    Carole and Laurie are awesome, and I so appreciated all the meetings and time they spent with me. Their communication was always great, and I couldn't be happier with how EVERYTHING turned out. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

    We found Gidas on a preferred vendor list from our venue. We worked personally with Carole. She was great to work with. She took all our ideas and made them into reality. Things that we were not sure of, like how exactly we should show off our vases for our centerpieces, she had great ideas.. My bouquet of black magic roses was BEAUTIFUL! I loved all of my bridesmaids flowers. We got many, many compliments on our centerpieces. Communication via email was answered quickly, and any adjustments and/or changes made were done with no problem. I would definitely use them again!

    This floral shop was great. Laurie negotiated with me on prices and we were able to select flowers to meet my wedding budget. The flowers were delivered on time and they took care of the setup. This small, family owned business was just great. Price and quality could not be beat. I highly recommend this business to anyone needing flowers for any type of event.

    We cannot say enough good things about Gidas flowers for what they did at our wedding. Carole, Laurie (and Jason) were so great to work with. Any questions or changes that I needed to make to anything was made without a problem. We always got quick responses and had no worries leading up to our day. They made it so easy to pick and envision what our centerpieces would look like. I had an idea of what I wanted my bouquet to look like and they exceeded my expectations. It was gorgeous! The day of, they delivered bouquets, boutonnieres to us at the hotel and were at the reception venue early to set up centerpieces. I had not a thing to worry about!! Overall, working with them was a great experience and i HIGHLY recommend them for flowers for your special event.

    Seriously, I don't think there are enough stars on here for Carole and Laurie from Gida's. They went above and beyond to create the most amazingly perfect arrangements and general service for my wedding that I have ever seen. When I first stepped into my reception venue I was literally blown away by how incredibly gorgeous the flowers and space were... I almost couldn't believe it was real. They did the flowers for my bridal shower and wedding and both times produced the most beautiful arrangements I have ever seen.

    I seriously can't say enough about these ladies and Gida's in general. They made the entire process so easy and I knew my wedding was in great hands the minute I met them. Carole understood what I wanted perfectly - It was like she took the images right out of my head and made it a reality, actually exceeding what I imagined!! She stayed all evening and made sure everything was exactly like I wanted it. She went out of her way to order me tulle overlays for the tables (among other things) and seriously made my wedding the most beautiful I have ever seen! I really can't thank or praise these ladies and Gida's enough!! I 150% recommend Gida's to anyone looking for exceptional service, amazing quality, and a wonderful experience!

    Gidas Flowers made our wedding perfect! The staff was extremely helpful in helping us pick our flower arrangements as I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to that. Carol was the main staff member we dealt with and she made picking out flowers a stress free and fun part of our wedding "chores". They were very willing to work with us and meet our needs for whatever it was we wanted to do for our perfect day. The girls bouquets were amazing and when I walked into the reception and saw the center pieces I couldn't have been happier. They did a beautiful job setting up the flowers in the hall and on our cake. I actually had multiple guests tell me weeks later how shocked they were at how long the arrangements lasted. I would highly suggest Gidas Flowers for any event!!!

    Gidas Flowers did a wonderful job with our wedding! The flowers were exactly as I had envisioned, and looked stunning. I cannot tell you how many compliments I received from people at my wedding asking where I had gotten my flowers. The staff at Gidas even went the extra mile delivering on Sunday (which was my wedding day) even though they are usually closed that day. They even went back to the reception site Sunday night to pickup their elevated centerpiece stands because my venue needed them out the same night.

    I cannot say enough about the quality of service and product we received from Gidas Flowers. The floral expert, Carole, as well as the store owner, Laurie Gidas, was beyond helpful when it came to our flowers for the wedding.
    With a large bridal party, I had the daunting task of keeping all floral touches to a $1000 budget. When I told Carole this, she made it happen perfectly. When I received our bouquets the day of the wedding they almost brought me to tears. They were exactly as we had requested and more.
    Beyond this extraordinary attention to details, both Carole and Laurie were always kind, prompt and willing to listen. When I missed a meeting due a family emergency they were so understanding and concerned, I felt like they were members of our family.
    I cannot recommend Gidas flowers enough to Pittsburgh brides.

    I have nothing but glowing things to say about Gidas Flowers! We originally decided to have a consultation at Gidas because of its proximity to our ceremony venue. We went into the meeting with Carol knowing our wedding colors and a couple of flower types that we were interested in. Carol took our colors/flowers and showed us several pictures of bouquets she had done for previous clients. She was willing to answer all of our questions and was very easy to talk to. She came up with a estimate that was comparable (even a bit lower) than other places in the city we had considered (one sidenote: if you pay with credit card, you have to pay an additional fee).

    On the day of my wedding, I remembered that I had forgotten to pickup a flower that I wanted to put in my hair. I ran into the shop, and not only did Carol give me the flower, but offered to run over to my hairdresser's to help her put the flower in (which she did). She also gave me a sneak peek at my bouquet. They were incredible, a really unique arrangement with bold colors. Carol did an excellent job. When we arrived at our ceremony venue later that evening, the flowers were waiting. Throughout the evening, I received many compliments on everything from my bouquet to the bouts.

    The bottom line: Carol went above and beyond to make our day perfect. The flowers were even more beautiful than I had imagined. Highly recommended for Pittsburgh brides!

    Beautiful flowers

    I can't say enough good things about Gidas! They did the flowers for our wedding in October and did an amazing job. They were extremely responsive, helpful in figuring out exactly what we wanted, and did an amazing job. My bouquet was so beautiful and it was exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend them, especially for weddings!

    We worked with Carole for our wedding and she did an AMAZING job with our flowers. After our first consult I felt completely confident that Gidas was perfect for us! It was evident that Carole had a vision and she took all my thoughts and combined them into a perfect representation of everything I wanted. I would gladly recommend the team at Gidas to anyone!

    Gidas did a fabulous job with our wedding flowers. The flower arrangements, bouquets, and boutonnieres were all beautiful and held up great throughout the day of festivities.

    My wedding flowers turned out fabulous! Having been deployed up until 3 weeks before my wedding and talking with Laurie over Facetime, I really didn't know what to expect. What a wonderful surprise to see how she perfectly captured the vintage feel I was going for! I showed her pictures of my dress and she was already very familiar with my venue (the PAA) and played up the old world elaborate feel perfectly on a budget. Thank you, Gidas Flowers, for designing beautiful flowers for my wedding day!!

    Laurie and Carol were fabulous! Laurie is very receptive and helpful via email as I was not in the area- even sending pictures/ideas back and forth to see what may work and what wouldn't. They were both very helpful in finding the most affordable way to get the look I wanted. During our meetings they were able to show me samples and play around with the flowers to show me what things would look like which made me feel very comfortable knowing we were on the same page. They have done weddings at many of the local churches and venues which was convenient as they were familiar with what was best in those venues and the other vendors worked well together.

    My flowers were a little more expensive than planned but that was due to the increased costs over Mother's Day weekend. They made sure to inform me of this in advance and work with me to keep within a budget I was comfortable with.

    Gida's was great. My flowers for my wedding reception turned out wonderful. The only thing I would have changed was that my bride bouquet there were a couple of ivory roses turning brown, they should have made sure these flowers were perfect! Aside from that, all was good.

    I was an atypical bride. Gidas helped a lot.

    Gidas was the first vendor I hired, they were recommended by our venue.

    When we had our first conversation to plan, I felt sorry for the consultant. I was pressed into getting flowers by my family. I have never been interested in cut flowers or a bouquet, but my mother got really sad when I said I didn't want flowers so... the venue suggested Gidas.

    At our first meeting, the consultant was energetic and happy, she didn't know that I didn't have any particular feelings about flowers. I was honest and told her. She was surprised, but very professional about it. She asked me many questions to elicit what types of flowers I would like. She guided me towards understanding my options for decor. She knew my venue well and guided me to minimalist centerpieces (apparently there is an actual name for the type of decorations I like?) that would appease my family, and not intimidate me.

    This conversation with a Gidas consultant helped me realize that I needed a more solid plan for wedding planning. Her questions helped me ask questions of other vendors and organize the wedding party.

    As I continued wedding planning, I gradually learned more about decorations and developed a more clear idea of the flowers I would like. I contacted Gidas and they incorporated my ideas.

    Did not follow through on promises made and flower selection was not as advertised. Ultimately elected to lose deposit and went with another florist

    I chose to use Gida's because they did an incredible job for my sister's wedding -- classic eucalyptus + big white blossoms. I wanted a little different style than that of my sister. I was going for something a bit more on trend (garden style with a blush and neutral color scheme). At my first consultation, we reviewed my inspirational pictures, and they said that they could do it, that "it won't be exact but it will be close." I completely understood and didn’t expect it to be exact given that some flowers would be out of season or that the centerpieces might not be as full due to cost, etc. I only cared that the overall look would be achieved. I decided to move forward with them and put down a deposit ($1,150) because they seemed confident that they could do it, and I appreciated Laurie's effort. After I submitted the deposit, Laurie let me know that they couldn’t get one of the main flowers anymore that we had discussed at the consultation (the sahara rose spray). I had done some research on similar flowers to try and get the same look. When I offered those up as substitutes, it was usually met with a closed door (i.e. that they couldn’t get that flower or that it would drive up cost significantly). When I went to view the sample centerpiece, she admitted that she didn’t think I was going to like it. It was very far from the inspirational pictures and didn't include another main flower we discussed (toffee rose) because they said they were too expensive to order for the sample. Ultimately, the sample was too far from the original vision. I offered to scale back our design and go simpler if this look was too much, but they insisted that they could get something that's close. So I paid for another consultation to view a second sample. She didn't have to order any new flowers again since it was within the same week as viewing my first sample. This one was missing the greenery we had discussed. Although it was improved, it was still too far from the original vision and what they said they could do. Before changing the design to something simpler, I decided to look at other options for florists just to see if what I was asking for was feasible. I booked a consultation with one other florist -- it took half the time than Gida's did, they understood my vision exactly just from the pictures, they were able to get all the flowers and provided reasonable substitutes for the ones they couldn't, and it was all within the same general price range (about $200 more). When I kindly shared with Laurie that I was probably going to go with the other florist, I had hoped that I would be able to get some of my deposit back, even if it was a fraction of the amount paid in flowers. She refused to do anything for me and exaggerated how much they spent on my samples (which I don't understand because we re-used the same flowers, and they didn't even order all of the ones that were needed). I understand that it's a non-refundable deposit, but I am shocked at the poor customer service that they wouldn't even try to work with me to figure something out. Especially when they weren’t able to get the flowers we had discussed from our initial consultation. If they had offered even a couple centerpieces, I wouldn't have felt like I wasted my money on something that was promised and wasn't delivered. I wish Gida's would have been upfront with me at the start and let me know that this was not a style that they have done before or are confident doing. Overall, I think Laurie tried her best, but it was evident that this look was just something they couldn’t do, and they didn’t want to admit it. I think it might partly be due to the fact that they had limited options with their suppliers. I would recommend taking a close look at the pictures of what they have done in the past and make sure it aligns with the style you want. I would book consultations at a couple places before committing as other florists seem to have more varieties of flowers and flexibility on how much they can order so it doesn’t drive up the cost.
