I found Brides and Bouquets after my original florist had to back out, and it really was a blessing in disguise! Gregg was able to bring my inspiration pictures to life and elevate them. I had a somewhat vague vision, and really appreciated how much time he took to go over details with me. I met with Gregg a couple of times in which he pulled out vases and candles, and showed me examples of what my flowers could look like. It so helped me distinguish how I wanted everything to look, and trust that I was working with a master. He had so much insight to share that I never would have thought of. For example, I liked the more organic looking bouquets, however, Gregg mentioned that a busier bouquet would take away from all the detail on my dress. He suggested going simpler for my bouquet, and incorporating the organic look into the bridesmaid bouquets. He was absolutely right! This allowed for my bouquet to shine without overpowering my dress, and added some interest when all the bouquets were together. One thing that was really important to me with my bouquet was incorporating some sentimental pieces. I had pieces from my mom's and both my grandmother's wedding outfits, and one of my grandmother's had passed away years ago. I knew I wanted them to be a part of my bouquet, but wasn't sure the best way. Gregg did a beautiful job of wrapping the fabric from two of the dresses around the bouquet. The ingenious part was he put pieces of my deceased grandmother's hat into the actual bouquet like flowers. It was perfect and something I'll always cherish. Gregg did a fantastic job from the bouquets, to the center pieces, to the extra touches he added - candles all around our sweetheart table and for the ceremony setup. I would absolutely recommend Brides and Bouquets to anyone looking for a florist!

Gregg Kennedy is the owner of Brides and Bouquets located on Chatham Street near downtown Cary. I would give him 10 stars if I could. He decorated the tables for our daughter’s wedding and when guests walked into the room at Cafe Luna, their breath was taken away. The room with 11 tables plus wedding gift table was transformed into a magical setting. Each arrangement was spectacular. Further, the bouquets were far more than we envisioned and perfect. Plus, Greg was readily available to meet with us and was patient with our questions through the planning process.

Gregg with Brides & Bouquets is truly an artist. He has such a wonderful creative eye. I’ve yet to see any of his pieces that weren’t absolutely stunning.
I have seen Gregg’s work over the years in a professional capacity, but recently worked with him on floral arrangements for my own wedding ceremony & reception.
I showed him pictures of the venue in advance and he put his own creative spin on the arrangements. He even tailored the design of my bouquet to match the style/vibe of my dress.
I could not have been happier. The flowers really made the night beautiful, elegant & memorial.
On top of being an amazing florist, Gregg is kind, personable, and truly a delight to work with.
I will forever continue to recommend Gregg to others and use him for personal special events as well!

Gregg and his team, consisting of Joy and Michelle, are wonderful to work with. The way I see it, they are all artists and do truly beautiful work. I met with Gregg several times to plan the flowers for the ceremony site, the reception, and all the personal flowers. He often would make visuals so I could see what his ideas and translation of my thoughts would look like. He was very receptive to tweaking and adding or taking away things as our vision took shape. Two weeks before the wedding, at our final meeting, my daughter, her fiancé, and I walked into the shop to find this floral wonderland with examples of all the floral creations that would be used at the wedding! It was beautiful, and we finalized everything! I cannot thank Gregg, Joy, and Michelle enough for all the hard work and time they put in creating the floral beauty we envisioned for our wedding. It was all we hoped it would be! Forever grateful!

We enjoyed working with the team at Brides & Bouquets so much! They did an incredible job of bringing our vision to life. I was rather particular about what types of flowers I did and didn't want and they were so attentive and detail oriented! Our flowers were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined!

Gregg did such a great job making my wedding vision a reality. I wanted greenery with mostly white flowers and he delivered beautiful floral arrangements. During the meetings, he explains colors, textures, cohesiveness, and how to make the brides bouquet stand alone from the bridesmaids (all things that I didn't think about when I pinterested wedding flowers). He is a wonderful professional who really knows how to make a wedding special!

Gregg is TRULY amazing, in every way! He was so involved throughout the process leading up to the wedding while his talent and passion shined through! I felt so at ease, every meeting, seeing his creativity and ability to bring a dream to life.

During my first meeting, we discussed my vision and he spent hours with me talking about ideas and even bringing real flowers out to show me what they would look like!

During the subsequent meetings, he had a display created before I arrived for me to review and talk through for any changes! That was truly such a special touch and helped me as I am a visual person.

My wedding planner for my downtown Raleigh reception venue said “you chose the best of the best, we love Gregg’s work the most!” He is very well known in the area and has a wonderful reputation.

When I walked into my reception room the day of my wedding before guests arrived, I LITERALLY dropped to the floor. What he created for my wedding was even MORE than I ever dreamed of! The Tuscan italian charm of white, blush, caramel, olive branches..My vision filled the room and he brought it to life. Our sweetheart table was the focal point of the room and everyone gushed over it! Our wedding cake table was jaw dropping, as flowers adorned the cakes that rested on tiers above vines/vases of beautiful flowers. Our guest tables were just stunning and brought the whole look of the room together! I am so grateful for his role in my wedding and so thankful I chose him.

He was always on time, proactive, efficient, and professional. He is just a GOOD PERSON! Who, happens to have an insane talent - he is a true floral artist.

I recommend Gregg to every bride - he’s just the best!

Gregg with Brides and Bouquets is absolutely amazing. He is so easy to work with and will turn your vision into a dream. He is very accessible and will meet with you as many times as you would like to discuss the flowers, bouquets, table decorations, etc. His prices were very reasonable and were actually lower than the other quote we had gotten. In your very last visit with him a few weeks before the wedding, he stages your bouquet and all your table decorations (flowers, candles, votives, etc) so you can actually see exactly what it will look like on the big day! Such a nice guy and great family run business. We got so many compliments on the decor at the church and reception and Gregg is the one to thank!

Gregg understood our vision perfectly right from the beginning. He was understanding and I didn't have to do much for him to completely understand what I was going for. As a girl who prefers greenery to flowers, he really kept our wedding elegant without me feeling it was over the top. We received compliments ALL night about our beautiful center pieces and our arbor!

My daughter initially selected Brides and Bouquets for her wedding based on the amazing reviews,....and now we know why those reviews were so high! Gregg had an initial meeting with my daughter for her to present her "vision" and later, a second meeting to confirm exactly how things would look. He offered suggestions to have it all "come together", and boy, was he on target. It all turned out perfectly! Gregg did an amazing job providing gorgeous arrangements and bouquets! Arriving on time to set up (we've heard stories of challenges from other florists) and then coming back at night to "take down" so we did not need to do a thing. We cannot speak highly enough about the quality of the flowers and designs Gregg created. He really is the best!
