When we decided to have our wedding on Anna Maria Island (paradise) I registered with the Chamber…read moreof Commerce. I was emailed and contacted by many businesses on the island who do everything from photography, catering, beauty, flowers, shuttle, just about everything you can think of needing for a wedding. Then one day I received a little padded manila envelope in the mail. Inside was a disc labeled "Silvia's Flower Corner." I was mesmerized to see the beautiful, magical creations before me. Some of the flowers I had never even seen before. I knew she had to do our flowers. I live in Chicago so had to communicate most of our ideas over the phone, but a few months before the wedding we went to Florida to meet with our vendors. She was operating out of Ginny and Jane E's at the time, which is a cute little antique store and cafe. It was so fun to sit down and brainstorm. She just wanted to know what kind of flowers "turn us on." We didn't have any wedding "colors" per se, but I told her every spring I am so happy when the stores in our neighborhood start carrying ranunculus. She flipped! She said that would not be a problem. Before I knew it, she's pulling all these crazy flowers out of the back, 'Do you like this? How about this?' I had complete faith in her from day one. Is it cheap? No. Should it be? Absolutely not. They were the most beautiful wedding flowers I've ever seen. When I saw my bouquet that morning, I straight up cried. Perfect pink ranunculus and calla lilies, bright green orchids, adorable button mums. And everyone loved the whimsical centerpieces. I was lucky enough to have parents that took care of my wedding costs, and to this day my mom says Silvia was worth every penny.

Somehow, he just got it. He brought out the perfect flowers to show me his ideas, walked me through his creative vision, and then designed the most spectacular arrangements--all while staying within my budget. What he created was not only beautiful, but absolutely show-stopping. The florals completely transformed my daughter's bridal shower. They elevated the entire event, made it incredibly themed, cohesive, and delightfully over-the-top in the best possible way. I truly could not have imagined more perfect arrangements--they exceeded every expectation I had. His talent, intuition, creativity, and professionalism are unmatched. I will absolutely be going to Gulfgate Flowers for all of my floral needs in the future. If you're looking for someone who can take a vision (even a loosely defined one) and turn it into something breathtaking, this is your florist. Simply amazing.

On Sunday I was thanked for the small bouquet of flowers that was sent. Upon asking about the arrangement I found that only 12 tulips were received. I immediately called and a gentleman told me that the store was now closed and he would investigate the issue on Monday. On Monday I was told that it was an 'honest mistake' and that another bouquet would be sent. On Tuesday more flowers were sent, however only the 24 that were missing. Given that my perception was that they may be doing this all the time, I would have thought that the replacement arrangement would have been another 36 tulips. In addition, this all could have been done on Sunday when the issue was raised. Poor Customer Service!
