About

We just do weddings and special events. We love flowers, and what we do every day is bring our brides & clients the most and best flowers that their budgets will allow. By paying attention to what you want (and what you don’t!), using your pictures, ideas & inspirations, we design flowers unique to your wedding.

The compliment that we hear most often from our brides is, “It’s exactly what I wanted, only better!” – which is what we think every bride should remember about her wedding flowers. We consistently hear that we use more flowers & are more detail-oriented than other florists. So that’s our goal – to give you more flowers, more details & make your wedding more about you.

Let us help you plan frustration-free flowers, give you a detailed proposal & answer all of your questions about what you want for your wedding. The way we see it, we are here to help you understand your options & make the best decisions for your wedding.

Stunning floral design and great service!

I cannot say enough amazing things about working with Laura at Gardenia in Athens, GA for my wedding flowers. From the very beginning, Laura was incredibly kind, patient, and easy to work with. She took the time to really understand my vision, and then elevated it into something more beautiful than I ever could have imagined.

Every single detail—from the bouquets to the ceremony arrangements to the reception centerpieces—was thoughtfully designed and absolutely breathtaking. Laura went above and beyond in every way, making the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. She has an incredible eye for design and such genuine care for her clients, which truly shines through in her work.

I would recommend Gardenia and Laura a thousand times over to anyone looking for stunning florals and a wonderful experience. She made my wedding day more magical than I dreamed possible, and I’m forever grateful!

We loved having Gardenia Floral for our summer wedding! From the beginning, Laura was so easy to work with and very organized. She was very accomodating whenever we wanted to make any changes and made our floral dreams really come to life. The staff working the wedding day were lovely and helped transport flowers from the ceremony to the reception. I could not recommend Gardenia more!

Brooke and Chris's Wedding

We used Gardenia Floral for our reception and bridal flowers for my daughter’s wedding in Athens. Caite at Gardenia Floral was such a pleasure to work with. We had a phone conference. When she sent me the quote and her vision and recommendations, I was shocked. Just from our conversation, she brought all of my thoughts and visions to life. (I am not one of these that has several pictures on a vision board to share. I am way more verbal.) She made everything very relaxed while keeping everything so very professional. She worked with me at the last minute to change a few things. All of the florals were beautiful and truly met my expectations. I highly recommend Gardenia Floral.

Wedding Florals

Gardenia Floral Design went above and beyond on our wedding flowers. They took a vision & collection of inspo pictures, and made our wedding flower dreams come true! Each floral detail was perfect! They provided all the reception glass vases/votives, candles, and lanterns. Everything turned out so beautiful, and I can't recommend Gardenia enough!

BEAUTIFUL arrangements, better than I could have imagined

Caite was my florist, I provided her with details about my vision and I gave her my budget. She did her best to stay under it and we would make adjustments throughout to ensure that was the case. What she created on my wedding day was BEYOND anything I ever would have imagined!!! Highly recommend!!!

Beautiful florals!!

Laura at Gardenia was incredible for our rehearsal dinner and wedding, I wouldn't recommend anyone else in Athens! Going through the planning process with her was amazing, I did not know the names of any flowers or greenery that I wanted, I showed her a few pictures and described my vision and she was able to create the florals that perfectly matched it. I didn't know what to expect in our first planning meeting but she made it so fun! Laura was so easy to work with but she also maintained a level of professionalism throughout our time together. Everything the day of our wedding was beautiful and I am so grateful that Laura and her team worked hard to make this possible!

Gorgeous flowers!

Laura with Gardenia Floral Design did the floral arrangements for my ceremony and reception in Athens. Since we were planning during the pandemic we exchanged all information over email; I sent her a few inspiration pictures in the beginning and described my style and vision, then Laura ran with it and made my floral arrangements even better than I had pictured. She was also very flexible and responsive to the week-of updates that I had. I absolutely loved my flowers and would highly recommend her, thank you Laura!!

Exquisite and exceptional

Laura and her team at Gardenia are incredible! The flowers were spectacular. Laura made the process of planning so easy and her day of installation and execution was flawless. I’m was speechless when I saw what she had created for our daughters wedding. The show stopping hanging display, gorgeous bouquets, artful table decor and all the extras truly made our day so special.

If you're looking for a stress-free floral experience...

Look no further! As a type A personality with a Pinterest addiction, you can imagine I had a specific vision for my wedding decor. Laura looked at my Pinterest board photos and listened to me describe my vision, and solely based on that, through some wizardry she created the most amazing florals and decor to make my and my now-husband's vision come to life! She made the process so fun and easy, sending pictures and ideas and being responsive when we wanted to make a couple of changes in the last few weeks. She worked with our budget and still made it look like the fairytale I always dreamed of. I HIGHLY recommend Laura for all of your floral and decor needs!!

Excellent communication and gorgeous end result

I am so thrilled that I found Gardenia for our wedding in Highlands, NC. Laura was an excellent communicator (transparent, clear, and quick to respond), and she was able to take some broad interests of mine and create the perfect arrangements (garlands for long tables, bouquets, ceremony arrangements, flowers in front of the stage, etc.). She knew what I liked better than I did and I'm so glad I trusted her vision. She was also willing to talk through different ideas for a unique seating chart and last minute changes. I also found services to be a much better price point than the first few vendors I reached out too. My only regret is not having time to admire every gorgeous piece. I would 1000% use Laura's services again and highly recommend her team.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
