What an amazing florist to work with for a wedding. They listen to your ideas, offer creative suggestions, and have reasonable prices. For a small price, they’ll even take care of your flowers at the hall so you don’t have to worry about it on your big day. If you are using special centerpiece containers, you bring them there a week or two before the wedding and they’ll put the flowers in them and take them to the hall. Most importantly, their flowers were beautiful! The bouquets were gorgeous, and the flowers at the hall were a lovely addition to the tables. I’ve done my share of special events, and Rick and his crew at the shop are amazing to work with. I highly recommend them for your special event.

G.T. Homestead did the flowers for my wedding. The consultation was fun and low pressure, and when I needed help expressing my abstract ideas, Toni was there to draw me sketches and offer great advice. The flowers for the ceremony were beautiful, appropriately subtle, and each bouquet and boutonnière was thoughtfully arranged. My bouquet was absolutely everything I ever imagined in a bridal bouquet! Daisies and greens, with quiet touches of purple of blue, it was classically gorgeous. She encouraged me to think outside the box by suggesting I request a special table arrangement that my reception hall did not typically do — the head table was placed at the center of the room, loosely dividing the room in two, and was surrounded on each side by guests. This was such a cool idea on her part! The guests and wedding party were easily visible to one another and were able to mingle throughout the reception. It also made for flattering photos, as we weren’t placed on a daïs. Looking back on the big day, I believe that one suggestion of hers was a key component to the reception; one that made it unique, beautiful, and outrageously fun. As for the reception arrangements, they absolutely made our reception! They were easily my favorite part of the party! Toni created a topiary for the head table that was unlike any I have ever seen — it was probably 5 feet tall and it spilled down like a chandelier. Utilizing greens, whites, and woods, Toni went the extra mile in matching my color palate — she dangled delicate gold floss from the branches that floated gently in the breeze of passing guests. The arrangements at the guest tables and entrance tables were nothing short of grand. The flowers added so much to the atmosphere that I couldn’t imagine the reception without them. And the best part of it all? Nothing they created was in any way a cliché or overdone. They completely understood my aesthetic(classic, with slight modern touches like succulents) and avoided everything I asked for(not a fan of roses, red or white) without a fight. If I learned anything during the planning of my wedding, it was the fact that most businesses try to convince the consumer to do things the easy way or the way they like to do things best. I struggled to have my wedding look and feel exactly the way it did, even when I didn’t think I was asking for too much. That is, until I went to G.T. Homestead. The people there were as helpful as could be, and they even offered to coordinate with my reception hall, which saved me a lot of work! They supported me, my point of view, and did everything they could to make my wedding beautiful and memorable — and it was! If you’re thinking about florists for your event, I highly suggest G.T. Homestead. They are wonderful people who do incredible work, and if I could rate them any higher for their contributions to my wedding, I would!

VERY cute store with some things for the garden and things for the home. It is beautifully decorated in here. The clerk told us during Christmas, they close 10 days to decorate. I am not sure why this place has not been reviewed yet. The clerk was really friendly too. They even sell fresh cut flowers here. They carry pretty jewelry too.
