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.

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!

If more stars can be given, I’d give them! Merrilee was beyond helpful throughout the whole process from fast responses to honest opinions to fair prices. She was one of the best vendors I’ve ever dealt with and would recommend her to everyone! Thank you so much Merrilee and Ganim for making our wedding day perfect!!

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!

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.

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.

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.
