About

In 1991, Joan Prange thought to build a business designing wedding decor for brides using plants, lighting and drapings. It was beautifully done. A friend told her to expand into wedding florals, saying that she did a "nice job" with flowers. The rest is history. For over 30 years, Prange’s Plantscapes and Florist has brought joy to brides with their distinctive bouquets and wedding decor. Bringing a background in Botany and Horticulture to the mix, designers often flavor their creations with distinctive blooms and greens, both native and exotic. From the classic tradition of white on white, to today’s hot trends with organic greens and taupes, or deep rich ruby and pinot noir shading, wedding colors are determined by your preferences, but then enhanced by textural combinations to the great delight of our brides.

As for a fine gem, at Prange’s we take dreams and budgets and meld them, creating beautiful settings for all of our beautiful brides...we just love weddings!

Hire Joan for your wedding

Do yourself a favor and hire Joan Prange for your wedding. From the moment I met with Joan for the consult I knew she was the one to bring my wedding vision to life. I am incredibly Type A and didn't have to worry for one second about the flowers, because I knew Joan had it. Her experience is unmatched. The flowers at our wedding were absolutely stunning. Joan is the best!

Prange's Florist did a beautiful job on my wedding florals!

Let me just start by saying I was a bride on a budget. Despite my limited budget, Joan used her expertise to help me make the most of it and I had beautiful floral arrangements on my wedding day. She helped me create a vision for my wedding, offered her expert advice on what would realistically work and the best places/ways to decorate my venue, and went over everything with me down to the smallest detail. The day of, she delivered the flowers on schedule and set them up beautifully. I couldn't have been happier and would highly recommend Prange's Florist for your wedding florals!

Beautiful florals for my wedding!

I looked at a number of florists for my wedding, and Prange's came highly recommended from my wedding venue. Joan kept me calm during the the wedding planning process and was very flexible when I decided to add or change things later. She did a gorgeous flower arrangement for our wooden ceremony arch as well as my bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets, and I was obsessed with how everything turned out. I cannot recommend her enough!

The Perfect Florist

I cannot imagine going to any other florist for my wedding. Ms. Joan is the sweetest person we worked with through all of our wedding planning. She was able to work SO well with our small budget and the arrangements came out so beautifully! I knew nothing about flowers but she was able to gather whatever ideas I had and made it better than I could’ve imagined! She even gave us awesome ideas for our reception decorations that saved us some cash. The day of she delivered all of the flowers on time and they were perfect! I cannot recommend them enough! Beyond worth it!

Fit my style

My style is pretty eclectic, but my flowers turned out beautifully. I wanted proteas, chrysanthemums, and silver dollar eucalyptus. My bouquet was a beautiful cascade with all those and orchids and roses. Our arch was also decorated (even with a last minute switch-a-roo) with drapes and flowers that looks amazing in our outdoor setting.

Fantastic Flowers

Joan Prange, Prange’s Plantscapes and Florist, has been the “go-to” florist in Gainesville, FL for many years. She did not disappoint for our COVID-revised wedding, i.e. from a large church venue with 75+ people to a small (21 guests) backyard ceremony and reception. Joan was very knowledgeable and helpful in assisting and advising us in selecting every floral aspect of the wedding. She had many general wedding ideas that helped as well. On the day of the wedding, she thoughtfully provided fresh greenery and volunteered to make the heart shaped cake topper. All the floral arrangements and bouquets were stunning. . You can’t go wrong with Pranges! Gainesville. FL; 352.335-0100; prangesflorist.com

Better than a dream

Prange's was hired for my wedding on March 14th in Gainesville, FL. Joan was fabulous to work with! After searching high and low for someone to help fit in our limited budget, she came swooping in saving the day. Because both my spouse and I are military stationed outside of Gainesville, she was able to help us create everything we wanted via email and phone consultations. I had the standard bouquets and boutonnieres and wanted very simple single flowers on my tables. She was able to help me by allowing me to bring in the vases, and build them on site the day before my wedding. She was prompt on delivery day and the bouquets were better than I could have imagined. Everyone loved the flowers and I can not recommend them enough.

Joan will Fulfill your Wedding Vision

I hired Joan as a florist for my wedding on October 25th at Sweetwater Branch in Gainesville. Prange’s Florist was the most affordable florist I could find in the area and her work is outstanding and beautiful. She did bouquets for my bridesmaids and myself, corsages for mothers, boutonnieres for the men, centerpieces, cake flowers, and flowers for the ceremony colonnade. She stayed within my budget while attaining the look I had imagined for my wedding flowers. She is reliable and dependable. She can help you with suggestions because she is very experienced. I am so happy with how the flowers turned out for my wedding and I would 100% recommend Prange’s Florist for your wedding day!

Joan of Arc

Joan is one of those people who is a real straight shooter. She speaks her mind and does quality work. When I first went to her asking about an iris bouquet, she educated me about how temperamental they are, and encouraged me to order a delphinium and white stock boutonniere for my husband so the iris wouldn't wilt half-way through the ceremony. She took a few half-baked Pinterest pictures and turned them into the most beautiful and Shakespearean-looking flower crown I have ever seen, light as a feather but stunning and radiant. I felt like a princess in it. Additionally, she made beautiful bouquets for my bridesmaids and I, with blue hydrangea and delphiniums and iris and stock, and it took my breath away. Lightweight, yet full of color. The weather and temperature outside cooperated so the flowers and iris boutonniere didn't wilt one bit, but I know Joan weaved her magic into every chlorophyll cell. She even gave me $50 cash for being a teacher. That type of integrity is rare these days. If you want an honest, hard-working, creative, visionary florist who has really affordable prices, delivers, and has a pet llama, this is your girl.
