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.

Simple review? LOOK NO FURTHER! Detail reader? Merrilee and her team are the absolute best and I couldn't recommend them more. I didn't know flowers, I didn't know what colors I wanted. Or what my theme was. I couldn't really gave her much to go on but somewhere along our two brief meetings she created that image for me and then blew my mind with what she put together the day of the wedding. I didn't cry until I saw my peonies come in the door. Want to see pictures? @leepaplatt My family has used Ganim's for my sisters wedding, mine, and now they help us make our new home look pretty (and are all super knowledgeable). I seriously cannot recommend them enough and would no go anywhere else!

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.

I have never been so happy with a vendor before in my life. My wedding was...at Burr Mansion and the flowers were stunning and at an amazing price!! I am still waiting on my photos from my photographer but I will post them on Ganim's Florist's Facebook so everyone can see just how beautiful they really were. Merrilee was on her maternity leave when I originally reached out and she literally let me know that she is in the hospital and just had a baby but she will get back to me tomorrow. She continued this AMAZING customer service throughout the entire year and turned my vision into reality without me being able to really explain it. I will recommend Ganim's too every single person I know getting married!!! You must use them!!!!! You will be so thankful you did!

We worked with Merrilee for our wedding and we can't say enough good things about the experience! Merrilee has a great eye and was able to bring my vision to life. Throughout the whole process, Merrilee was easily accessible via email, and was able to accommodate last-minute changes. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and I'm so happy with the finished product.

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.
