    Best place, nicest people on earth!!! Very knowledgeable staff and they have all the answers to make your horticultural experience a pleasant and positive one. I'll be coming here for all my houseplant needs.

    Just went in for my first time. The woman working was so nice and made this beautiful little arrangement for a birthday gift. I almost don't want to give it away! Very nice shop.

    A beautiful bouquet Anthony made for me after I picked out some favorites and described the style I wanted.

    I had an amazing experience today going into Gowder Designs for valentine's day flowers for my wife. Anthony and Stephanie were warm, helpful, had good ideas, and listened to what mattered to me. The two bouquets I got turned out amazing and my wife loved them. Stephanie was an amazing hostess, if you will, helping me and other customers. It's a beautiful store with lots of great potted plants and other options too. I'm looking forward to coming back regularly.

    Great store, friendly staff, beautiful pieces! I love their flower and plant selection. This store is an entire vibe and definitely worth checking out!

    I absolutely recommend Anthony Gowder! I am so lucky to have been referred to them by two brides, and after meeting with Cassandra, I knew I needn't look any further. My initial consultation was easy. I met Cassandra at their location on North Ave, and she asked me about my husband, my wedding, our style, our colors, etc. I loved that she took the time to listen to my likes and dislikes. One of my favorite things about AGD is that they don't have a minimum spend, and when I told Cassandra I was only interested in personals (bouquets/boutonnieres) there was 0 pressure and 0 salesy-ness or tactics to try to get my to include centerpieces, chuppah flowers, decor for the church, etc. They were happy to have me as a client, no matter if I was spending $1000 or $10,000. Cassandra did an awesome job of listening to me and putting together a proposal. She was easy to work with and receptive to changes in our proposal and sent updates promptly. We did hit a minor snafu the day of our wedding that the flowers were delivered a little bit late, but a quick call to their office quickly remedied that. Their delivery driver saw that our ceremony started at 3, but failed to see the special note to deliver the flowers at 12:30 as we had our first look at 1. Stephanie Gowder answered the phone when I frantically called, and within 15 minutes, we had our flowers, so the driver had already been on his way, but was just late. Stephanie was extremely apologetic and professional. I would still 100% recommend Anthony Gowder for any floral needs.

    I used Anthony Gowder Designs for a corporate business meeting this week in Chicago, IL and I am so glad that I did! My client had a tight budget but wanted something elegant to light up the room. Amy was a pleasure to work with and really helped design centerpieces that were within budget. The colors and arrangements she made were also perfectly paired with the client's logo. I would highly recommend AGD for your floral needs!

    In July of 2015 my husband and I decided to go with Anthony Gowder Designs for our May 14, 2016 wedding. We were not disappointed. The studio has many gorgeous designs that satisfy every price point. My husband and I had our consultation with Cassandra and went over design ideas that fit into the theme we were looking for. Cassandra was very patient and polite to me as I added and subtracted from the overall order. Our finalized order were my bouquet of flowers, mothers wristlets, the flower girls fully bloomed coral roses, flowers for the cake, flowers for the sign in table, and guest table centerpieces. All of the flowers were delivered on time and the design team arranged the venue amazingly.

    Fantastic spot for flowers. Always friendly and professional. The flowers I just picked up for Mother's Day are beautiful, under $50.

    Anthony Gowder and his team outdid themselves! They created the wedding my daughter had dreamed of and then some. They brought her vision to life and guided us every step of the way! Their professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm was infectious. Anthony,Stephanie and Cassandra are true artists and wonderful people. I will always hold them in the highest regard and sing their praises! I will recommend them to all!! They will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for being a calming influence while also being so enthusiastic and on top of every detail!!! You guys are the best!!!

    Overview of room

    I reached out to three different florists when I began my search. One was within budget but very underwhelming, another was incredibly rude and shamed my budget, and then there was Cassandra at Anthony Gowder Designs. Even though they do all sizes of events and planning (and you can tell from their website and their offices/studio that they do some big events), I never felt like my 115 person reception or my budget were too small. I sat down with Cassandra for a consultation and showed her ideas that I liked. She took notes and threw out some additional ideas about flowers that would be in season (and therefore more affordable) that would still have the look I wanted, etc. They have a ton of votive, vase and candelabra options. These really put a finishing touch on the design. We did a showing in March (which was early for an October wedding, but my mom was in town visiting, so they accommodated us with no problem), which was so helpful. I realized that I liked the direction we were going in, but something was missing or a little off. Just like that, Cassandra moved a few things around and switched out the candelabras and there was my centerpiece. On the day of our reception, everything was beautiful and exactly as we (well, I - my now-husband wasn't too concerned with the flowers) had hoped it would look. Working with Cassandra and AGD was so easy and pleasant. I would work with them again in a heartbeat. In full disclosure, I went over my budget, but I got exactly what I wanted with my centerpieces and they looked beautiful. (Five days later, the flowers are still alive and looking good.)

    We joked afterward that we don't know how anyone could've gotten married without a Cassandra in their lives.
