I couldn't have been happier with my flowers from Gateway Florist. Most florists in the area would not take smaller weddings. I was not ordering centerpieces and did not have a large bridal party so did not meet the $2000-3000 minimum of most florists in the area. Gateway was more than happy to work with me and created beautiful bouquets and altar arrangements. They really understood my modern, minimalist style. Even though I was getting married in the spring and blues were my colors, I did not want peonies and blue hydrangeas. They were able to suggest flowers that better fit my tastes and were able to follow the inspiration photos I brought. Even though mother nature did not cooperate and I couldn't get the one flower I really wanted, the arrangements were still beautiful and I couldn't have been happier.

The ladies at The Gateway Florist are spectacular! I am from Indiana and my husband was in flight school in Florida during most of the planning for our wedding, so we had to do most of our work from afar. I chose The Gateway Florist because they have been known to put together some beautiful and unique pieces for brides in the past and that is exactly what they did for us! They also have done numerous Naval Academy weddings, which made us even more comfortable with our decision. Their artistic and unique flower arrangements made our Naval Academy wedding everything we had ever dreamed it to be. Donna, the wedding florist, was patient and honest with us when we drove out to Maryland to talk about details and prices. She also made our lives so much easier by keeping in touch with Cheryl (at the Navy-Marine Corps Stadium where we had our reception) and arranging for drop off times etc. They communicated back and forth and everything turned out even better than planned! I highly recommend The Gateway Florist to any bride who is looking for a stress-free, professional, patient, and kind vendor who is going to give you your moneys worth!

The Gateway Florist was wonderful to work with, even though we had a compressed timeline, and didn't charge rush fees or jack their prices. Donna, the wedding specialist, was very responsive and easy to work with via email since I live out of town. Cindy, the owner, was very friendly too.

I wanted a white/ivory bouquet, so Donna provided a helpful list of white/ivory flowers and complementary greenery that would be in season and easy to get in July. First, I googled the name of each flower to see what it looked like. Then, I went to The Knot and looked for white/ivory bouquets that I liked, especially those featuring flowers from Donna's list. Finally, I wrote Donna which flowers and greenery I wanted to use and included a picture of a Knot bouquet as inspiration. My bouquet looked even BETTER!

My parents assembled my maids' bouquets to save money, but we ordered the flowers from Gateway Florist. Gateway was very helpful with suggesting tips for assembly and even provided water tubes to fit the wood holders we'd selected. The maids loved their flowers and I couldn't be happier with Gateway Florist.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
