Thanks to York Flower Shop for making such beautiful arrangements & bouquet’s for our wedding! We worked with Gretchen who helped tremendously with her amazing ideas that we loved and worked with our budget. The flowers were such great quality, and put together so well. Some centerpieces lasted for weeks afterwards which shows how fresh they were. Our guests had so many compliments, so thank you again! We’re so happy we chose York Flower shop, and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you, York Flower Shop!

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!!

I worked with Gretchen primarily but all the women at York Flower Shop are wonderful! I had an initial consultation and had some sense of what I was going for, but not a lot of details so I put my trust in Gretchen. And it was a great decision! Gretchen's knowledge of florals, herbs, etc. is amazing and she nailed the aesthetic I was going for. My bouquets were beautiful and she included some unique flowers and colors. I also loved how she incorporated greens and even basil into my centerpieces - they smelled great even a week or so after the wedding! Gretchen and York Flower Shop are professional, responsive, know their stuff and just make beautiful arrangements. Best of all, Gretchen did everything within my budget and it was very reasonably priced. Book these ladies early as they get booked up and now I know why!
