    Wonderful Experience

    We used Shady Grove for flowers for our son's wedding -- for the welcome party the night before. I was nervous ordering so late in the season (event was Oct. 10). Boy, was I pleasantly surprised and wowed over. The bucket of mixed flowers were incredibly stunning. A plethora of varieties and colors. Not only were they gorgeous, but they smelled great, and three days later looked like the day I picked them up. Customer service was stellar, and it felt great to support a local, small business. I would highly recommend Shady Grove.

    Trust Shady Grove Gardens for Wedding Florals!

    I ordered two bouquets and two boutonnieres from Shady Grove Gardens for my wedding on 4/22/2023 at Overlook Barn, and I was very happy with how they turned out. Susan was professional and communicative throughout the whole process. I don’t know much about flowers and found the website to be overwhelming, but Susan was happy to chat with us on the phone about our vision. Though the selections were limited due to the time of year, Susan put together beautiful arrangements for us. I highly recommend supporting this terrific small local business!

    Beauuuuuuutiful flowers!

    Shady Groves was professional and helpful and economical to meet the needs of my daughter's wedding! The bouquets and arrangements we made with the buckets of flowers turned out BEAUUUUUUUTIFUL! They made gorgeous centerpieces and added so much to the wedding. My friend's daughter got married in May and paid over $5,000.00 for her centerpieces for what we paid $800 for. Thank you so much!

    Truly Incredible and Beautiful Work

    I loved my experience working with Susan and Brent. I changed my mind several times and Susan was always willing to update the order. Susan and Brent came to my wedding venue to deliver the flowers and set everything up for my big day and were so friendly and punctual. I gave her colors and an overall concept for my wedding and she produced AMAZING bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnieres, and garland for my sweetheart table. It was all so much more than I could have imagined and I absolutely LOVED her designs. I'm getting my bouquet preserved because I loved it so much and want to keep it forever. I'm blown away by the perfection and professionalism of Shady Grove Gardens. 12/10 highly recommend to anyone looking for flowers for any event!

    We definitely recommend working with Susan. We offered a few ideas for local wildflowers and Susan made everything look even more beautiful than I had imagined. My bouquet and the arbor decorations were perfect!!

    Beautiful flowers for our wedding!

    We used Shady Grove Gardens for our summer wedding at Overlook Barn in Banner Elk this past July. And they did an amazing job! I gave Susan inspiration pictures and they went above and beyond! She saw my vision and created beautiful bouquets for myself and the girls. Shady Grove also provided eucalyptus for our tables. Everything turned out wonderful. So thankful for finding Shady Grove and we highly recommend them for your wedding!

    Local Florals with Affordable Options!

    Susan was incredibly easy to work with and her prices are very fair. I loved being able to do a combo of DIY and designed arrangements because we did simple vases as our centerpieces but I can't fathom putting together a bouquet.
    I gave her our color palate and a few florals I liked and she hit it out of the park. If you need a florist for a Boone/Blowing Rock wedding, please consider giving them a call.

    I could not recommend Shady Grove Gardens more! They are very easy to work with, accommodating and most importantly they have beautiful, locally grown flowers to offer! My wedding flowers were one of my favorite parts of the whole event.

    Incredible Vendor

    I'm kind of clueless when it comes to flowers and I really didn't have anything particular in mind that I wanted for the wedding. My goal was to keep everything as low key as possible. Our venue recommend Shady Grove and I'm so happy that she did because they were exactly what I was looking for.
    Susan created two amazingly beautiful bouquets for me and my maid of honor as well as corsages for our grandmothers and the rest of the arrangements we created from the buckets of seasonal flowers we purchased. I loved being able to support a local business that grows all their flowers and uses seasonal products. It was so much fun to be able to make the arrangements ourselves the day before the wedding. If we had lived closer, we definitely would've taken advantage of one of the arrangement classes.
    Susan was also very flexible when we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and made the whole process very smooth. I would highly recommend her services!

    Beautiful flowers!

    Shady Grove Garden & Nursery did an amazing job on my bridal bouquet, boutonnieres, and table center pieces! The flowers were beautiful and they really worked with me on a tight deadline.

    Above and Beyond Care

    Susan and Brent did such an amazing job on my wedding flowers. Susan was very invested in every detail and ensuring that she had a clear understanding of my vision. I sent her a picture of a bouquet that had inspired the look I was hoping for and the final product was even better than I could have imagined. They even found pheasant feathers to add to my boho-inspired bridal bouquet! I cannot recommend Shady Grove Gardens enough.

    Perfect for DIY flowers!

    The flowers were absolutely gorgeous! It was important for us to support a local flower farm & we're so happy we chose Shady Grove. We got buckets of flowers that we DIY'd for our wedding and they were just stunning!

    Beautiful flowers!

    We were so happy with our flowers from Shady Grove Gardens! We used them for our center pieces and arch at the alter. They were gorgeous! Even during the hurricane weekend this past September, the flowers were beautiful! Definitely recommended by me!

    Susan was wonderful. Hire her right now if you are looking for flexibility, creativity, and options that allow you to combine some professional arrangements with DIY flowers. She put together beautiful sunflower and blue hydrangea bouquets for us and then we also did several buckets of bulk flowers for DIY table arrangements. We enjoyed working with Susan. She was efficient, professional and easy to work with. And I loved that her prices were budget friendly and she allowed me to DIY in addition to her professional arrangements. Thank you Shady Grove!

    Our flowers from Shady Grove for our daughter and her new husband's wedding at Leatherwood Mountains were perfect. We ordered buckets and created our own centerpieces, bouquets, corsages, bouttenieres , and cermemony decorations. The flowers were exactly what we hoped for. At the last minute we needed to change our pickup date and Susan was very flexible. Thanks for helping make our wedding beautiful!

    The flowers and service we received from Shady Grove Gardens & Nursery was unlike any other. Susan & Brent were so easy to work with. We chose the DIY route and got 5 buckets of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen. This option allowed us to stay on budget but yet still have an abundance of gorgeous flowers at our wedding. Each flower was perfect and showed the love and care that Susan and Brent put into their flowers.

    Shady Grove flowers are simply stunning. We decided to buy by the bucket to stay within budget. We picked up our flowers on a Thursday (they were ready to go when we got there), to gives us time to make the arrangements. I recommend you buy your own buckets if you go with this route, that way you don't have to worry about returning them.

    My aunt arranged the flowers for my wedding, but we purchased the buckets of mixed flowers from Shady Grove. They were absolutely stunning. Susan was very easy to work with, and provided the exact colors that we were looking for. We received so many compliments on the flowers, and saved so much money by buying the buckets and arranging the pieces ourselves. I would recommend Shady Grove to anyone looking for gorgeous flowers at a decent price.

    We ordered a few buckets of specific colors and corsages from Shady Grove Gardens and Nursery. The cut flowers and corsages were gorgeous and the right price! The order form was straight forward and easy to fill out. Susan was willing to discuss my options over the phone and explain the which flowers would be best for wedding colors and season which was great since I live in Illinois!

    Susan and Brent at Shady Grove were awesome! We had a minimalist, nature-inspired wedding at Camp Sky Ranch in October. I bought mixed wildflower buckets and had Susan make my bouquet and the boutonnieres.

    The bouquet was stunning, pale and muted colors with an antique look. I wanted something that would match my champagne silk and cream lace dress with the neutrals of the linens. She listened carefully to my ideas, made smart suggestions, and helped me keep my costs down. Thanks Susan.

    Also, the wildflowers were phenomenal. Vivid, fresh, and sparkling, these flowers were straight out of a Martha Stewart magazine.

    I highly recommend them!

    Susan and Brent made our wedding ten times more beautiful because of their absolutely gorgeous flowers and greenery! We used them for all of our floral needs, including the greenery for our ceremony arch, interior and exterior decorations, corsages, boutineres, and all of the bouquets. Susan listened to exactly what I wanted and was able to provide a variety of options and put together bouquets and greenery for our arch even more beautiful than I thought. Almost all of our guests (and even people just looking at pictures) commented on how lovely our flowers were. My bridesmaids absolutely loved their bouquets. It was nice too to know they were local, seasonal and homegrown, giving our wedding a naturally gorgeous feel! For everything we received, the pricing and service was excellent. I would DEFINITELY recommend that if you are getting married in this area, please use them for your flowers!

    Great service! I chose to purchase their mixed buckets and I chose the colors that I wanted in the buckets. I then did the flower arrangements myself. I was so pleased with the variation I had to choose from and the beauty of the flowers! I know they can do great arrangements as well, but the DIY option is so amazing for brides on a budget (like me)! Susan was also great a communicating and she was extremely accomodating for my needs. Thank you thank you! Loved them!

    Shady Grove Nursery was absolutely incredible! Susan and Brent made us the most beautiful corsages and boutineers. My cascading bouquet was adored by all! It was eclectic, beautiful, and the best part, made entirely from wildflowers from our area. We bought buckets of wildflowers and greenery for the centerpieces and assembled them the night before an they were breathtaking! The flowers held up great and were absolutely the best quality!
    I highly recommend using this company!

    I was extremely happy I chose to use Shady Grove Gardens for my floral arrangements and wedding bouquets. Susan was so patient with me through the entire process. I kept changing my mind on colors, flowers, what arrangements I wanted...which ones I did not want anymore etc. etc. and she was so supportive (which is priceless!!) The bouquets and arrangments arrived early the day of the wedding and everything was as promised. Susan and Brent are such nice and honest people- I did not even notice that the flower girl petals that I had ordered were missing the day of the wedding. Actually, I did not even know that the petals were missing until I received an e-mail from Susan when I arrived home from the honeymoon stating that a reinbursement check for the flower girl petals was in the mail for me! I value honesty and have the utmost respect for someone who honors that quality. I was going for a rustic-romance theme at my wedding and the flowers that Shady Grove Gardens provided set the mood and captured the essence I was aiming for! Thank you guys so much! It was such a pleasure to work with you!

    Susan and Brent did a wonderful job with our wedding. They were prompt and professional about delivery and set-up, they helped us make a plan that fit our budget and our style, and they provided locally-grown, organically-grown, absolutely beautiful flowers.

    Susan and Brent were so easy to work with. I only needed bulk flowers for my wedding, and they came through like champs. With some minor preferences from me, they set me up with the most beautiful and unique assortment of flowers for my July mounting BBQ wedding. It was exactly what I wanted. The flowers were so fresh! We sent many home with our guests and found that they were still beautiful a week later. When we got home from our honeymoon, our hydrangeas (!) were still lovely. You cannot go wrong with Shady Grove.

    Shady Grove Gardens and Nursery provided the flowers for our wedding at Camp Sky Ranch on June 16, 2012. Susan was wonderful to work with and really helped me figure out what we would need. Shady Grove provided local seasonal flowers for our wedding and they were gorgeous. We purchased several buckets of cut flowers to utilize for table decorations and pew markers. Purchasing cut flowers was a great cost-effective option. We picked the flowers up on Friday morning and my family and I arranged them as we wanted. Susan also offers individuals the option of a flower arranging workshop (with your purchased buckets) at her nursery if you would like. We also had Susan and Shady Grove Gardens make numerous larger flower arrangements and decorative pieces and our bouquets and boutonnieres. Everything that they provided was gorgeous! All of the flowers were exactly what we had hoped they would look like and really fit our venue and theme. Shady Grove’s flowers really added so much to the ambiance of our day--we could have not been more pleased with the outcome. Susan was very professional, full of ideas and suggestions, and very flexible. It was a pleasure to work with her! Shady Grove is a great value and a wonderful local vendor that is worth checking out for your wedding.

    Oh my word - Shady Grove Garden totally exceeded my expectations. To save a little money, we asked Susan to make my bouquet and then we ordered buckets of flowers for the bridesmaids to make their own and to decorate at the reception. They were gorgeous and sooo unique! Susan was a pleasure to work with. She followed up on every detail to make sure that I was pleased and I was still amazed at how fantastic everything turned out. I would totally recommend Shady Grove to any bride seeking "wildflowers" or flowers that are out of the ordinary. I promise you will end up with something that is absolutely lovely and one-of-a-kind.

    Susan was such a pleasure to work with. She took all of my ideas and inspiration pictures and managed to blend them into the exact feel I was looking for. She was incredibly professional, always responding very quickly to emails and phone calls. And she offered up her expert opinion on issues I was unfamiliar with. The flowers were beautiful and we took pride in the fact that they were locally grown and were in season. I would recommend Susan to any bride looking for excellent service and professionalism at a fantastic price point.

    Shady Grove did all of the flowers for our mountain wedding. The bouquet, boutonniere, floral arrangements and flowers for the arbor were gorgeous, freshly cut and absolutely ideal for our mountain wedding setting. Not only were the flowers fresh, beautiful and perfect, Susan at Shady Grove listened to and incorporated our preferences and prepared the flowers in record time with only a few days notice. We couldn't have hoped for anything better: beautiful flowers, delivered and set up on schedule at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Shady Grove to anyone who needs flowers for a wedding or special occasion.

    I bought my flowers and arranged them myself. They were gorgeous and held up very well. They saved me lots of money and I got a lot of flowers for the money.

    Susan was fantastic and the flowers were gorgeous! She always responded promptly, and we made lots of adjustments along the way that she took in stride. I initially wanted some "DIY" but ended up being overwhelmed and she did all the designing for me. She had some flowers I wanted special ordered for me. Her price is more than fair and better than I was quoted anywhere else. I got TONS of compliments on the flowers! My only very minor concern was that my bouquet wilted while taking photographs after the ceremony, but this is probably to be expected with it being an outdoor wedding. Overall absolutely beautiful and I have great pictures to prove it. VERY pleased, she provided exactly what I wanted!

    We had an eco-friendly wedding at a winery in Banner Elk North Carolina and decided to use organic, locally produced flowers that we opted to arrange ourselves. Shady Grove was very flexible with what we wanted and provided us with a beautiful array of assorted wild flowers that were grown 30 minutes from where we got married! My only suggestion would be to get the flowers as close to the ceremony start time as possible since they may start to wilt a little. You can also pick them up at the Watauga farmer's market in downtown Boone. What a great way to lower your carbon footprint for your wedding day!

    Susan is a wonderful designer. We gave her a general idea of what we wanted and she went from there. We couldn't have been more pleased with how everything turned out.

    My flowers were absolutely beautiful. We ordered buckets and did our own table arrangements but Susan did the bouquets. They were so perfect. She really listened to what I wanted and they were perfect.

    I loved working with Shady Grove Gardens and Nursery for my wedding. Their flowers are beautiful and sustainably grown. Susan also saved the the day on the morning of my wedding. The wildflower centerpieces I had put together from their diy buckets had frozen in the refrigerator overnight and she perked them up with some flowers she had in her truck as she delivered the decorative urns and evergreen swag to our location. It was a wonderful experience all around to work with them.

    My husband and I had planned on doing most/all of the flower arrangements ourselves, and had tried to work with many of the florists in the area, but they were all either rude or unreliable! Then the lady who works at the jeweler where I got my ring showed me a wedding featured in the High Country Wedding Guide, who had used flowers from Shady Grove Gardens and Nursery. I got in contact with Susan via email and the day before the wedding we picked up our flowers. We had ordered 2 buckets of May wildflowers and a bucket of greenery. Oh they were beautiful! I almost wish we had had them do some arranging for us, because it sounds like they do a wonderful job. But we were very happy anyways. My bridesmaids and I made our own bouquets and the centerpieces, and it was a lot of fun! The flowers did wilt a little while we were arranging them, but we set them outside in the buckets of water overnight (it was chilly that night) and they perked right up for the wedding. I'm not really a flowers kind of girl, but these just blew me away. We also saved a lot of money by ordering the buckets.

    The flowers provided by Susan and Brent were absolutely perfect, and exactly what we hoped they would be-they tailored the colors and specific flowers to our exact wishes. They worked with us to adjust our order to fit within our budget, and were VERY reasonably priced. We loved using flowers that were locally grown, and the arrangments and bouquets they put together were beautiful.

    My husband and I used Shady Grove for all of the flowers for our 6/6/2015 wedding in Boone NC. We decided to do the floral workshop on the friday before our wedding. My maids and I were able to create our own bouqets and the boutineers. It was such a fun experience to spend time with my maids creating our own bouquets as it just meant that much more to us on wedding day. They also provided two custom made peices for our wedding venue in both the chapel and the dining hall. They also provided all of the loose wildflowers we used throughout. All of the flowers were in amazing shape and incredibly vibrant and beautiful. The flower and designed peices were so much more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. We are thrilled and so pleased that we chose Shady Grove for our flowers.

    The individual flowers were gorgeous and buying by the bucket is the way to go. Working with Shady Grove was overall very frustrating. We met to discuss the types of flowers and arrangements we wanted well in advance of the wedding, this meeting was not well-documented by the florist and she forgot key details about our requests. Bookkeeping and other records we had sent her were not well-maintained, causing a lot of last-minute stress on our part. The bridal bouquet (which was the only bouquet crafted by the florist) was not ready at the pick-up time and had to be picked up the morning of the wedding. When we went to pick up the bouquet the morning of, we were treated as if it was an oversight on our part. I recommend speaking often with follow-up in writing if you go with this vendor.
