Coastal Elegant Wedding Florist - AMAZING!!!!

York Flower Shop was my florist for my July 2024 wedding at the Viewpoint Hotel in York, Maine. It is hard to express how grateful I am for Gretchen and York Flower Shop Team. Gretchen has superior communication and her warm and understanding personality made me feel confident, excited, and reassured that she would execute my vision. My original vision was much more costly than I budgeted for; however Gretchen was able to advise me on how to essentially achieve the look I wanted for about 1/4 of the price. She is very upfront and reasonable when it comes to cost. She is willing to work with ALL budgets, which is very rare in the wedding industry nowadays. Gretchen is a true professional and was there the day of to ensure all vendors understood my vision. She also did our rehearsal dinner florals and encourage us to re-purpose as much as possible, which helped keep us in budget. The florals were STUNNING - I received so many compliments. See the pictures (captured by Jules from Scarlet Roots!) attached. Simply put, she is the best! Book them now!!

Gorgeous flowers!!!

Having grown up in York, it was a no-brainer for me to reach out to York Flower Shop to do the flowers for my wedding. From my very first call with Gretchen, to the delivery + installation on my wedding day - they were incredible to work with. They helped bring my vision to life along the way and gave me so many helpful suggestions. I was absolutely in love with my flowers - I wish I could have preserved them all in time and kept them forever! Thank you Gretchen and team! We are forever grateful.

Highly Recommend

York Flower Shop went above and beyond to create gorgeous florals for our wedding! We were planning our wedding remotely and Christine and her staff made the whole planning process very easy. In discussing our vision with Christine she not only understood our esthetic, but she had many ideas on how to make it even better. And then came the day of our wedding and we were absolutely blown away by our florals – everything was STUNNING! Every arrangement, bouquet, and corsage was immaculate. We cannot recommend working with York Flower Shop enough – it was an incredible experience!

Absolutely stunning flowers!

I am so happy that we worked with York Flower Shop! They were familiar with the venue and were able to seamlessly deliver the flowers and fit into the day. During the planning process they spoke to me and my mom multiple times over the phone. I wasn't able to go there because of the pandemic, but did send pictures. Based on what we talked about over the phone they made absolutely beautiful bouquets and centerpieces. They also have lots of rentals available! I couldn't be happier!

Absolutely Love

I was planning a destination wedding and was out of state for the entire process. Everything was super easy to do from a distance and Gretchen was amazing to talk to. Early frost had caused one of my main flowers in the bouquet to be unavailable at the last min- They picked the perfect substitute, so gorgeous and perfect. I loved my flowers, she nailed my style (from over the phone) and I am so happy how everything turned out. I ordered bouquets and boutonnieres. I also ordered stems and bunches of eucalyptus and flowers for centerpieces that I was making myself- and a cake topper, which was gorgeous.
