We Live to Impress

Unmatched Creativity & Service

Our floral designers are ready to create a masterpiece exclusively for your unique style. The beauty of flowers lies in their nature – delicate or hardy, colorful or understated, simple or voluminous. No matter your event venue, Ganim’s Florist can work with you to achieve the perfect fit.

If you need just a few bouquets for an anniversary party, or a full arbor and table decorations for an outdoor wedding, we can handle it all.

Phenomenal florist for your wedding needs! They work hard and work with you to get the perfect floral combination of your dreams! Whether it’s arbors or bouquets....They never make you feel pressured or overwhelmed , and they take all of your ideas no matter how extreme you think they might be and combine them to make something beautiful and your own! Just had my wedding...and I can’t tell you how many compliments I received on the arrangements!

Merilee from Ganim’s did our flowers for our August 3rd wedding and I can’t say enough good things about her! She was so personable, She understood my vision within a few minutes of meeting me, and she was willing to work within our budget every step of the way. She even gave me a few ideas of how to save additional money because she knew I really wanted to use her! There was a few revisions to our our original quote and plan and she was flexible and responsive. Then the day of, the flowers arrived and I was stunned. The bouquets were beautiful but our centerpieces stole the show! Everyone was talking about them. We mixed high and low centerpieces and they completely flowed. We had cake flowers and I am still looking at those pictures of how amazing they were. Same with the small touches all over the venue, Merilee just got it! I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Merilee 🙂

Working with Merrilee at Ganim's was a dream. We knew we wanted all greenery but didn't know much more about florals. She knew exactly what we were looking for and took it to the next level. All while working within our budget. I didn't get the chance to meet the team the day of but if they're reading this, you guys killed it! Thank you so much!

I went to Ganim's with a picture of the bouquet that I wanted. They did an amazing job selecting the flowers to create it. They did a great job with all the bridal party flowers.

Merrilee at Ganim's florist made the boutonnieres, corsages, bridal and mother's bouquets for our wedding. We gave her a general idea of what we wanted with photos from Pinterest, trusting her judgement. Everything came out beautifully...We would definitely consider hiring her again for any future occasion.
