    I wish that I could give Flowers by Gary 100 stars! They are so deserving of more! As soon as I got engaged, I knew I wanted to do business with Flowers by Gary. Gary and Michael were amazing to work with from beginning to end! When we first met, they helped me with ideas about what would look best with my theme and did everything they knew how to make my visions come to life. It really helped that they had worked with the venue before - it made picking and choosing a breeze! I was able to remain pretty hands-off after that, which is the goal for any bride wanting to remain sane! And when I did have questions, they knew exactly who I was and were so easy to communicate with.

    These gentlemen know what they are doing and I had no doubt that they would make sure everything was PERFECT for my wedding day. And, it was! They set up everything just the way we had discussed. I was so pleased with the way it all looked and we received so many compliments on the floral arrangements. Gary and Michael are amazing and if you are in the Triangle, you should consider them for any and every event! (Side note: during the stress of preparing for my bridal portraits, I COMPLETELY FORGOT to inform Gary when I needed my bridal bouquet for the photos. On the day of, I called him in a panic and within the hour, Gary had made the most beautiful bouquet for my session!)

    Chelsae,

    Great Experience!

    When my son and his fiancé started planning there November 2020 wedding, they asked who to see about doing their wedding party flowers. Immediately, I thought about my friends Gary and Michael of “Flowers by Gary.” From the first meeting with Gary, the flower planning was a delight. They worked with us through the pandemic and the change in the wedding date to March 2021, without hesitation. They were professional, knowledgeable courteous and most of all “KIND” working with us through this major change and hectic time. Their love for flowers and the importance in choosing just the right colors and design to complete our vision was awesome. They took our suggestions and used their expertise to design exactly what the bride and groom wanted for their special day. The day of the wedding, the delivered flowers were amazing, the design, color, freshness and overall beauty of these “Works of Art” made everything perfect. Not only did we love them, but many of the wedding guest commented on how beautiful they were and asked who had created them. Since most of the wedding party was from out of town and unable to take their flowers home, to my delight, I was given most of them. Five days later, I am still enjoying their fresh beauty in my home, thanks to my friends, Gary and Michael of “Flowers by Gary” I hope everyone reading this review will choose to make them part of their wedding or special occasion. You will love them and their flower designs.
    Karen from Durham

    Perfect day

    Flowers by Gary was an amazing flower vendor. They did beautiful flower arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres, and even put little touches of flowers around other areas of our wedding. They surpassed our expectations. It was the perfect day!

    Gary and Michael with Flowers by Gary were beyond amazing to work with. They took our vision for what we hoped our wedding would look like and elevated it to the next level. Aside from being prompt, responsive, easy to work with, and seamlessly coordinating with our other vendors, Flower by Gary listened to our needs and wants as a couple and provided a comprehensive, budget accurate, and stunning floral displays at our wedding that our guests raved about. 10/10 and would completely recommend!

    Snow in January, who knew?

    With a January wedding date, we knew snow and cold weather was a possibility. And it was! But Gary and Michael were amazing for the whole wedding experience. They took the weather in stride, and both the church and reception venue looked beautiful! Knowing that we could count on Flowers by Gary gave us a peace of mind that helped make our wedding weekend as wonderful as it was! Thanks guys!!

    Flowers By Gary is the BEST!

    Gary and Michael were able to take my ideas and turn them in to the best flower arrangements. My wedding was November 13th 2021 and was able to have peak leaves. The mostly green foliage I wanted with some roses looked amazing with the trees. I highly recommend using Flowers by Gary because they are great and a small business within North Durham.

    Jessica,
    Thank you so very much for your 5 Star Rating and your comments. You were such a fun bride to work with. Thanks again for trusting your special day to us. Can't wait to see pictures!!!

    Absolutely stunning!

    I can not say enough great things about Flowers by Gary! My wedding guests all raved about how gorgeous the flowers were and how much they added to the entire atmosphere and celebration. They not only do amazing work, but they are also such a pleasure and fun to work with. The day of our wedding, they made sure every detail and arrangement was perfect, and it was! Hiring Flowers by Gary was hands down one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning!

    Kind, Helpful, and So Fabulous!!

    Gary and Michael were such a breeze to work with! From our first meeting to the actual day of Gary got me and my vision right off the bat. They were both so kind and helpful with everything and our florals were absolutely gorgeous! Gary and Michael were hands down one of our favorite vendors to work with.

    Beyond impressed

    Long story short: get Gary and Michael to do your wedding flowers. I originally wasn’t planning on doing flowers but once I said I would I was lost at what I wanted. I walked into their shop and I was simply blown away at what they had created based on our pre-meeting phone call! They had an example of my bouquet and it was exactly what I didn’t know I had wanted. But even better on the day, I cried when I saw how all the flowers turned out throughout the whole venue! My bouquet was perfect and the way they decorated the venue was absolutely beautiful. I cannot recommend them more for not only their flowers but their kindness and encouragement throughout the wedding planning process.

    Simply the “icing on the cake” to the day

    From the moment we walked into Gary & Michael’s shop back in February until the day of the wedding this past weekend, our journey with Flowers by Gary can be summed up in one word “calm”. In the craziness that goes into planning a wedding that calm voice of Gary on the phone became such a respite in the chaos. The finished presentation on the wedding day was what completed our daughter’s two and half year journey from engagement to marriage. I will forever be thankful to Flowers by Gary for their part in this beautiful day.

    Connie,
    Thank you for your comments. It was such a pleasure working with you and your daughter to help bnring the vision to reality, thank you again for letting us be a part of the journey.

    Friendly, professional, and exactly what I was hoping for!

    Gary and Michael are wonderful, and the flowers were exactly what I had hoped for. I thoroughly enjoyed my consultation with Gary, who perfectly actualized my vague ideas. He was very knowledgeable. Communication right up to the day was wonderful. The fact that our wedding was scheduled for March 2020, right at the beginning of the pandemic, caused extra uncertainty, but Gary and Michael were extremely professional and let me know they were there for us whether we needed planned to reschedule or proceed. I highly recommend Flowers by Gary for a beautiful wedding!

    Katie,
    Thank you so very much for you comments. We enjoyed working with you as well. We are so pleased that you were happy with our designs for your wedding. Again thank you!

    Wonderful Addition To Our Big Day!

    The flowers were just divine, tasteful and made our day even more perfect. Gary also worked with us in integrity and kindness through a number of re-schedules due to the pandemic. Highly recommend!

    Amazing flowers, great people

    Michael and Gary are the kindest people, and we loved supporting someone local. They helped bring my dream to life, talking me through different options and showing great expertise & talent. All the flowers decorations the day of were absolutely amazing, and they're totally willing to work within budget. I hope I'll be able to enlist their business again in the future!!

    Mother of the Bride

    I have never been happier than yesterday at our daughter’s wedding. It was everything she wanted and more. Michael and Gary graciously moved our date three times due to the pandemic and never flinched when it happened on Mother’s Day weekend or when we had to add some extra dinner tables at the last minute, needing additional decorations. Not only are they extremely professional but so much fun to work with! I highly recommend Flowers by Gary and hope we get the chance to work with them again. Thank you for helping make the day spectacular!!

    Makes your floral dreams come true!

    Michael and Gary were so great to work with! From start to finish, they were incredibly patient and attentive to my floral needs/vision!

    Not only do they have flowers, but they also had several items we were able to rent from them--which made things so convenient when setting up the centerpieces for the tables! The tiny details that they used to make my wedding special, truly helped tie everything together!

    Additionally, when asking to modify my flowers slightly last minute the day before the wedding, Gary was so helpful and patient--knowing my vision just describing it without knowing the proper flower-types!

    We absolutely LOVE our flowers and you will too! :)

    Flowers By Gary's reply:

    Cala,
    It was an honor and a privledge to be part of your's and Jake's special day at The Georgia Belle Inn in Julian NC. Thank you for your comments, and your recommendation.

Congratulations and we sincerely hope you and Jake have a Merry Christmas and a Happy, healthy New Year.

    A joy to work with

    Planning a wedding during a Pandemic was not easy. Gary and Michael helped make my daughter’s special day PERFECT. They were so helpful and patient. We could not be happier with the arbor rental and all the flowers for the day. The bridal bouquet was my most favorite piece though. It was amazingly beautiful! Would highly recommend Flowers by Gary to anyone with floral needs.

    Holly,
    Thank you so very much for your comments. It was such a pleasure and an honor working with your daughter Cayla and being a part of her special day. What a joy!

    My Daughter’s wedding, Flowers by Gary

    The Wedding was on Halloween, so of course, Gary made a bouquet with Blood Red roses and Black ribbon and black feathers., matching corsages and boutonnières. The deep red also matched the Groom & groomsmen’s ties and vests. The whole ensemble was perfect.
    Thank you Flowers by Gary!

    Professional and Personable

    Gary and Michael were able to work with us so well during some last minute decisions to elope. With our original wedding plans interrupted by corona, they were able to work with us and accommodate during these unprecedented times. I loved my bouquet and they truly were able to deliver on exactly what I was looking for!

    Extremely helpful helping us decide on the type and mix of flowers, some we never heard of but we’re beautiful. Arrived on time, arrangements and bouquet were so beautiful. They effortlessly organized and setup table decorations and arbor spray. Not to mention they worked with baker to get the perfect flowers for cake topper! They are kind, attentive, professional and so knowledgeable. I can’t say enough about this florist. I have done business with them for years and recommend them to everyone.
