    Wonderful Experience

    Betsy was so easy and great to work with for our wedding. I went in with no real opinion on what I wanted besides color and a few pinterest inspo pictures and she had great ideand and put everything together beautifully. Each interaction and consultation leading up to our wedding day went smoothly. Highly recommend using The Plant Shoppe as your floral vendor!

    The best wedding flowers

    Betsy at The Plant Shoppe is incredible. I was planning my wedding from out of state, and she was always easy to get in touch with and happy to hop on a call to talk through any design or logistical questions I had! The flowers turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I could not be happier with my experience! Thank you, Betsy, for helping make our day so special!

    Beautiful Wedding Flowers and Attention To Detail

    I am the mother of the bride and I reached out to Betsy at The Plant Shoppe Florist to discuss flowers for our January 2020 wedding. Although the bride had very specific ideas of what "look" she wanted, choosing specific flower types was a challenge for her. After sharing the bride's Pinterest page, as well as the budget, with Betsy, she made suggestions of particular flowers and greenery that would give the bride "her look" and found ways to keep us in budget. The bride's bouquet, bridemaids bouquets and all of the floral elements for their wedding were perfect. And the eucalyptus garland was perfect simplicity and filled the pergola top beautifully! She even reached out to me just days after the wedding to notify me that I had over-payed her on the final payment and asked how I would like to have the overage returned to me! Not only is Betsy (and her staff) an incredibly talented floral designer, she is also an ethical business woman. Great combination!

    The Plant Shoppe Florist's reply:

    Denise, It was a pleasure working with you and your daughter. I also love how the Pergola turned out. Best Wishes to all. -Betsy

    exceeded expectations

    I met with Betsy very last minute, just a few weeks before the wedding. She made everything easy and effortless. We met one time and discussed ideas and found examples of things I liked. They did my bouquet, corsages, boutonnieres, and flower petals for the isle way. Everything was better than I could have imagined.

    Excellent Florist at reasonable prices!

    We got married last month and we were blessed with a fairy tale wedding. Everything from the venue to the weather was perfect. But more importantly, we could have not done this without the relentless help, love, and dedication we received from the team of people who helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives.
    Our wedding ceremony took place under the big oak tree at the Historic Thomas Center in Gainesville. Our florist, Betsy Gardner from the Plant Shoppe Florist (https://www.facebook.com/theplantshoppeflorist/), customized our flowers as requested matching our wedding colors of navy blue and gold to beautiful hydrangeas, gardenias, delphiniums, and tulips. Our bouquets were gorgeous! Betsy and her team also hung lanterns from the oak tree and suggested hanging some of our reception bottles with lights in them from the branches, which added significantly to the overall romance of the decor. She made gorgeous gold leaf garlands for our cat stroller (our cats were the ring-bearers!) and for the tables at the reception. Betsy and her team came to the venue early and they not only set up the lanterns, bottles, and flowers, but they also helped our wedding planner decorate the tables at the reception. They went above and beyond and were just great and fairly priced. We highly recommend Betsy and her team for weddings, special events, and all other flower needs.

    The Plant Shoppe Florist's reply:

    Thank you for having us be part of your magical day. We love how everything came together to create your fairy tale.

    Great experience, beautiful arrangements

    The Plant Shoppe was recommended by multiple other vendors that I used for my wedding, and after working with Betsy it's clear why so many other businesses sent me in her direction. She did an amazing job on our florals, was extremely responsive, and provided gorgeous arrangements for a very reasonable price. I only had a very general idea of what I wanted - Betsy took my fairly minimal information on style and types of flowers, recommended creative solutions and did an amazing job creating a beautiful aesthetic for our arrangements.

    Genius Floral Designs

    When you hire Betsy you have just stepped up the possibilities for your wedding! For our wedding we needed a lot of greenery and flowers as we had our wedding in a screened in patio so everything could be outside and Covid friendly. Betsy took that space and created more than we could have dreamed of and turned an ordinary space into a magical fairy land (I’m not exaggerating, see the pictures below). I am a flower nut and thought I would recognize every flower used but Betsy sourced plants that I had never seen before that made our wedding over the top gorgeous! Because I love flowers so much I also wanted everyone to go home with flowers so she created individual bouquets in vases for people to keep and used them as a part of the decor. I had asked Betsy to make sure that this didn't look like the same wedding that has been done 100 times before and she nailed it! If you want spectacular then choose The Plante Shoppe Florist!

    The Plant Shoppe Florist's reply:

    Stephanie, Thank you for coming to us with an idea for your dream wedding and letting us run with it. We loved creating your enchanted forest. So glad we were part of your special day.

    Simply Beautiful

    Betsy and her team were just amazing. We kept great communication throughout the wedding planning, and although I had to adjust some things due to the pandemic, they were always responsive and cooperative. I loved all the flowers, they were just as I had imagined. I will not hesitate on recommending them for a special occasion.

    The Plant Shoppe Florist's reply:

    So glad we were able to work together to create a wonderful wedding day for you. Love the image of you on the porch.

    Wonderful vendor experience

    I had a wonderful experience working with Betsy at The Plant Shoppe. She was always quick to respond, and she worked with me on special requests such as floral accessories for my bridesmaids' lanterns. The flowers were everything I had hoped for and I received so many compliments on my big day.

    Gorgeous flowers, great service!

    We loved our bouquets and arrangements by Betsy! She made it easy for me (with no floral experience AND planning from out of state) by requesting my Pinterest board, then went over it with me over the phone, asking questions and clarifying the styles I liked/didn't like. She was flexible when I wanted to stay within a budget, and we ended up using my bridesmaid's bouquets for most of the centerpieces & doing greenery and blooms with candles or lanterns for the other tables, which was great and looked beautiful. She made a gorgeous arrangement for our seating chart and for two barrels, and very pretty boutonnieres and corsages! She delivered the bouquets to our getting-ready location and the rest to our 30-minutes-out-of-town venue, which was much appreciated!! Overall would definitely recommend--thank you Betsy!

    Thank you for the kind words. I love your profile picture, it was a pleasure working with you. Please send us some additional images, we love to see how it all came together.

    Beautiful and affordable!

    Betsy did a fantastic job and made my wedding day vision a reality! I wanted a big messy bouquet and she delivered! My birdcage centerpieces turned out to be even more beautiful than I imagined! She’s fun to work with and very affordable. She delivered our flowers on time the day of the wedding. I would definitely recommend her and the Plant Shoppe is in the Gainesville area!

    Thank you for the kind words. It was a pleasure working with you as well. The birdcages you provided were fabulous to work with.

    Betsy really delivered on our wedding day. She really listened to what I wanted for my flowers (colorful and leafy) and came through with such beautiful arrangements, especially my bouquet. I loved how she worked with the decor we already had and accentuated it with the most wonderful selection of flowers, ferns, moss and air plants. The finished arrangements were better than anything I could have dreamt of. I wish they lasted forever!

    She was really awesome to work with, too. We're an out-of-state couple, so we mostly had to talk via phone and emails. She was patient with me through the planning process, gave helpful suggestions about the design and kept everything on budget. I'm really happy that I went with The Plant Shoppe Florist.

    Thank you!!! You were a pleasure to work with and I can't wait to see the images captured by your photographer.
