When I was looking for a florist for my November 2023 wedding, it was a rough time. While I was familiar with printing processes for invites, how venues work and how to handle most vendors, I was a bit under-educated on what a florist needed and what I needed from a florist - in terms of arrangements….I know I needed flowers. I also did not have an exorbitant budget.

I was open with both of these facts when reaching out to different local florists. I eventually came down to Forked River Florist. The other florists were polite and understanding but when speaking with Jaimee, she also seemed interested in educating me as well as figuring out what I actually needed. That’s when I decided they were the florist for my wedding.

We meet a few times, as my wedding theme ‘Godzilla and Grace’, was a bit odd and she wanted to make sure to get the centerpieces correct. We were able to talk through what kind of flowers were needed, what flower themes would be used throughout the bridal party and how the centerpieces would be arranged and what would be needed. She also helped me make choices within my budget and kept me updated on the running total. I was also inspired to add stands to my centerpiece thanks to her guidance.

Forked River Florist was also very accommodating. Due to a lower than anticipated guest count, I ended up requesting more table centerpieces than needed. On the day of the wedding, they were able to use the additional greenery to decorate the table place card table and favor tables, making everything seem lush and full.

The centerpiece arrangements were set up wonderfully, complimenting the candles and stands I had picked. My favorite was the sweetheart table, which contained the same greenery that was shared with the other tables but also containing moss and sunflowers.

Sunflowers was the main theme of the bridal party and the bouquet I was given was beautiful. I am doing my best to preserve it today. It was also durable, which with the amount I was waving and putting it down was important. My bridesmaids received equally complimentary bouquets and the boutonnieres looked downright handsome. The groom had his own unique boutonnieres that matched the groomsmen boutonnieres but still contained unique flowers.

I would say my overall experience with Forked River Florist was wonderful. I would recommend them to anyone, especially my sisters, who are now engaged. Thank you Forked River Florist!

Jaimee was absolutely incredible. I can't say enough wonderful things about her! I booked Jaimee early on, before I had a real clear vision of what I wanted for our wedding decor. Therefore, I changed the plan on her - twice. Jaimee took it all in stride and on the day of the wedding she delivered! Our venue, wedding, and bouquets all looked incredible thanks to her and her team.

We worked with Jaimee while rescheduling our wedding 3 times and she has been so great to work with. She made our vision for our day come to life. We were very specific on what we wanted for arrangements behind our sweetheart table and she nailed it. We had some of the bridal party test positive for covid or be exposed the week of our wedding and she was so easy to make adjustments with.
