  Beautiful flowers, great service

  I had a small, intimate beach wedding on Jekyll Island. I got my beautiful flowers from Cottage Flowers on SSI. I ordered my bouquet, and 2 corsages for my 2 daughters (the flower girls), & also flower petals for their flower girl baskets. I had somewhat of an idea of what I wanted, but Gay made some suggestions & helped me figure it out. It turned out beautifully! The flowers were fresh, gorgeous, and smelled amazing. My bouquet was perfect for my intimate beach wedding. The flower girls corsages were the cutest things I've ever seen, the corsage itself was made from pearls, which we LOVED! :) would definitely recommend

  Fantastic! Very helpful, flowers were gorgeous.

  Gay was absolutely wonderful! Our flowers for our wedding were absolutley gorgeous! Even for days afterward!! We got many compliments!! My husband and I were bogged down with planning our entire destination wedding, so I was a bit last minute with updating her about my floral choices, but she was able to help, suggest, and adjust over a simple phone call. She even made a very last minute adjustment and made a floral bouquet for our last minute flower girl. I am so happy we chose her for our wedding!!

  Beautiful flowers!

  My husband and I hired Gay for our wedding at Captain's Bluff in St. Simons. Gay was a charm to work with, was extremely creative, helped us stick to our budget, and delivered the most beautiful flowers on our wedding day exactly at the time we wanted her to be there. Everyone was absolutely in love with the greenery on the main farm table (eucalyptus garland), on the wedding arch, on the cake, and throughout my bouquet! I seriously wish I could have kept everything she created forever!! I highly recommend her.

  My husband and I just renewed our wedding vows after 10 years of marriage in St. Simons Island, Georgia. Gay did an exceptional job for our ceremony! Before the special day, she communicated exactly what she was going to do. We exchanged emails and phone calls and I even sent her pictures of what I imagined for our special day. Wow, she made my vision come to life and when I walked down the aisle, everything was beautiful! I can not thank her enough for working with me to make our day beautiful. On the day of the wedding, she came early to set everything up. She worked with my director so I had nothing to worry about and that allowed me the opportunity to enjoy my special day. Thank you Gay for being so professional and helpful! You're the best!

  Amazing! Cottage Flowers did a beautiful job on my flowers for the wedding. The wedding party's flowers were beyond gorgeous and the ceremony and reception spaces were perfect! She works within YOUR budget, which I loved. Also, her prices are VERY reasonable! I would recommend her for anyone!

  Gay provided a level of advice and expertise to my wedding that I will be forever grateful for. She not only did BEAUTIFUL flowers but she gave me a few tips on how to really enjoy my wedding and wedding day. And, I'm VERY glad I listened. I didn't micromanage or worry about my vendors based on her advice and she was right - I got to be WOWED on the day of like the guests. I put my faith in the right vendors and got an even better result than I dreamed! She also did a bouquet "trial run" with me that let me see the flowers together that I had chosen....that made all the difference in the world. I had out of town aunts throw me a last minute shower and told them that if they didn't do anything else - they had to book Gay to bring over some arrangements for the event! They were very pleased as well! Excellent vendor, good prices and a dream to work with. Highly recommend.

  My flowers were lovely for my early spring April wedding. I found the perfect bouquet on pinterest and mine was better than expected!

  Gay is amazing! She was the florist for my daughter's wedding at the King and Prince.
  Not only are her designs beautiful, but she is a joy to work with.
  When we were anxious or wanted to make changes, she was patient and kind and had a calming presence.
  Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were.
  We communicated with Gay thru emails and phone calls as we don't live in St Simons.
  Gay created exactly what my daughter envisioned, in fact, more than she envisioned.
  Her work was even more beautiful than the photo's we sent for her to go by.
  Thanks Gay! You are awesome!

  The flowers were gorgeous! Gay made the bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres according to what I asked her for when we met in person and I showed her pictures of. Not only did I get flowers from her, I was able to rent candle centerpieces and lanterns from her, which was perfect for a destination wedding.

  Gay provided the flowers for my wedding in November 2012. I don't think I was a typical client because I knew exactly what flowers I wanted for my wedding and shopped around to see which florist in St Simons could provide what we wanted within our budget. Gay's price quote was the 2nd best price we received, however, her professionalism and attention to detail sold me. She is very competent. My advice to you - explain exactly what you are envisioning, then hand it over to Gay and she will make it happen. Thanks Gay, everything was perfect!

  Terrible experience and the worst customer service

  Terrible experience and worst customer service. I met with Gay at Cottage Flowers at the end of August to and she agreed to provide bridal bouquet, altar flowers and dinner centerpieces for my small intimate wedding in November. A couple weeks before the wedding, I could not get a response from her as I was trying to finalize details and payment. No response to phone calls, voicemails, emails, or facebook messages. As a last resort, I sent a message on The Knot app, and finally received a response that she could no longer provide flowers for me. It was extremely frustrating and rude to not even provide the common courtesy of letting me know in advance that she was not interested in working on my small wedding so that I could find another florist.
  Highly recommend working with Courtyard Florist instead - she took me on as a client and was amazing after this whole mess with Cottage Flowers!

  Cottage Flowers by Gay's reply:

  Jacqueline, Your review is somewhat misleading. When you came to my shop in August, you didn't even have your wedding venue chosen and you said you would be back in touch when you made a decision but I didn't hear from and since you had not paid a deposit or even gotten a quote from me, I booked another wedding. I was out of the shop when you were trying to contact me but I called you as soon as I returned to let you know I was no longer available. Best wishes and I hope your wedding was everything you wanted.
