Gardenias Floral

Samantha Monday is amazing and highly professional. Modestly priced. Her shop is beautiful and so were the flowers she did for our wedding reception. We got so many comments on them from our guests. We will hire her if we need flowers in the future. Her arrangements are gorgeous and we highly recommend her. Thank you for everything!

Gardenias Event Floral did an absolutely amazing job on the flowers! The bouquets were exactly what my daughter Kelsey had wanted - perfect flowers, size and color! The ceremony site on the lawn at Callawassie Island Club in South Carolina was decorated with large lanterns to mark the alter and smaller lanterns that lined the aisle - BEAUTIFULLY done! The reception hall in the club was decorated perfectly and definitely set the tone for the evening!

The Gardenia team is very professional, easy to work with and are highly recommended!

I absolutely loved working with Samantha at Gardenia's Floral! She is SO talented and easy to work with! I went into our meetings with very little knowledge about flowers, and with a vision in my head that I could not find in pictures to share with her. All Samantha had to go on was my fumbling descriptions and items for centerpieces that I had purchased and brought to her. I was very nervous that I wasn't adequately describing the look that I was going for, but Samantha absolutely nailed it! I was blown away on my wedding day when I saw her bring all of my ideas to life! Every single bouquet, boutonniere, ceremony piece, and centerpiece was executed flawlessly with amazing attention to detail. I had given Samantha a ton of geometric terrariums of varying shapes and sizes for the ceremony and centerpieces, and she arranged them perfectly together, with every single one looking unique but cohesive. My mom had given me pieces of her wedding dress as my "something old", and Samantha incorporated that along with a few other sentimental pieces into my bouquet beautifully. I tend to be a very Type A and high strung person, and Samantha's quiet confidence and calming demeanor was a perfect balance in our meetings and emails that let me know we were in good hands. As for price, we were very pleased with the quantity of flowers/greenery and the high quality of work for the amount that we paid. I would absolutely recommend Samantha to any bride!

Samantha knew exactly what I wanted and gave me some great ideas. My bouquet, centerpieces, and all decor looked fantastic. Highly recommended.

Samantha is truly a floral genius. We felt like we only gave her a few small details of the centerpieces we had in mind, and she gave us absolutely stunning work! The bridal/MOH hoops she made were also beyond anything I could have dreamed up. We were so happy with what she came up with and wouldn't change a thing!

Gardenias Floral did an AMAZING job with my wedding flowers. She took the time to meet with me about exactly what I wanted down to every single flower and color in each bouquet. When the flowers were delivered on the morning of my wedding, I couldn't believe how PERFECT and beautiful they were! All the flowers from the bouquets, to the centerpieces to the spray for the ceremony arch were stunning! Samantha was wonderful to work with and I would absolutely recommend her to use for your wedding/occasion!

Samantha was great to work with. Very professional, quickly responded to emails and phone calls and was very helpful along the way. Our center pieces and bouquets were beautiful and she brought in these amazing tress to make our indoor ceremony feel a little more springy. She used lot of succulents, white flowers, and greens-captured the look we were going for perfectly. Very clean and classic. Her prices were reasonable compared to other florists in the Maplewood/Short Hills area. Would definitely recommend.

Working with Samantha and her team was a pleasure. We met several times to come up with a truly unique and beautiful floral aesthetic for our wedding day. We wanted botanical/greenery/succulent centerpieces that other floral shops just didn't understand. Samantha understood what we were looking for and surpassed our expectations. Our bouquets were stunning and matched our bridal party perfectly. I can't explain how beautiful our flowers were. You'll just have to try them yourself!

Samantha at Gardenia's delivered incredible flowers and decor for our wedding. She met with me several times to finalize selections and run through all the selections. We got absolutely gorgeous bridal flowers, bridesmaids flowers, mother of bride and groom flowers, boutonnieres, flowers for a chuppah, chuppah rental, lanterns and rose petals. Everything was organized and labeled on the wedding day when delivered to the respective locations. The bouquets were delivered in vases to keep them fresh and lasting longer. Samantha helped to fulfill the vision and make the wedding day extra special. Highly recommend to others for gorgeous arrangements and wedding decor.

100% would recommend Gardenia's!!! This review is so long overdue, but Samantha was absolutely great to work with! I went to a few different florists and I decided to book Gardenia's because I felt like Samantha immediately "got" what I was looking for. I showed her my Pinterest board which was a bit scattered, honestly. She showed me pictures and offered additional flower suggestions (really good ones) based on the colors and the look I wanted - succulents with light greens, mauve, white, purple. My BM dresses were mint so I was kind of particular about the shade of green in the arrangements. She was so patient with my sister-in-law's questions and my roundabout descriptions; and when the flowers arrived at my house the morning of the wedding I was SOO HAPPY!! Everyone was so impressed with them and all of my girls were taking pictures of their bouquets when they arrived. Gardenia's incorporated my "something olds" so beautifully into the bouquets, wrapped all of the bouquets in matching colors of ribbon for the BM dresses and my dress, and labeled everything. Weeks after the wedding I still had the dried flowers that I just did not want to throw away. (My wedding was in June 2016 and I still have them - not sure if that is gross but I loved them so much.)

I used Gardenia's for bouquets, centerpieces and church decor, so there were a few locations. I had no hesitations about all of these deliveries getting to the places they were supposed to - and everything was perfect. Samantha was knowledgeable, responsive to emails, worked with me on pricing, and just all around great to work with. Plus their flower shop is ADORABLE and smells so good! Hands down would go with Gardenia's.
