GVL Floral

Gail did a wonderful job with my flowers. We told her about how much we wanted to spend and other ideas I had and she worked with us to make it happen. She was even able to work with our reception venue to start setting up decor the day before. She is a down to earth person but maintains a level of professionalism, which I appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

There were some flowers my daughter was considering, Gail offered her opinion in a professional way to make sure the look that we were trying to achieved was executed. We had so very many compliments on the flowers. I would highly recommend Gail.

Gail was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to listen to our ideas and the results were Awesome. Every one commented that the flowers were gorgeous. We also stayed within a
Reasonable budget. I was very pleased with GVL Floral!!

Gail is awesome. I was happy with all aspects of our experience with her. She was very easy to work with and very organized. When we initially met with her to discuss ideas it was clear that she was very knowledgeable and experienced. Gail did floral arrangements which were attached to the corners of a bamboo archway which we were married under and they were gorgeous! I also LOVED mine and my bridesmaids bouquets. And the centerpieces at our reception turned out beautiful as well. I would recommend her to anyone!

Words can't even describe how amazing all of our flowers were for our wedding. I just hoped, when I met with her to go over our ideas, that they would be everything I wanted. It was so much more. It was like she took the image that was in my head of how our wedding would look, and it was PERFECT!! Everytime I had a question, or had to drop something off, she was available. Also, when we were done picking all of different flowers we would need, I asked for the price, and when she told me I said "that's it!" So do yourself a favor, if you want the perfect flowers at an amazing price, definitely use Gail Vanderlaan!!

Gail's flowers are beautiful and very cost effective. She is willing to set up AND take down, if this is something you want from her. Gail is very accomodating with her services and keeps in touch with you throughout the wedding process. I was more than pleased with the flowers for my wedding. Thank you Gail!

The flowers were beautiful and Gail knew just what I wanted and delivered everything. Everything was perfect and everyone commented on the beautiful flowers.

Gail Vander Laan did such an incredible job with the flowers for our wedding. My mother and I initially met with Gail more than a year before the wedding - I think even before we had decided on colors even! (She let us meet once with her early on to talk about seasonal flowers, the plan for our date, and to browse through picture ideas and to get my likes and dislikes) At that point we came up with a rough draft idea. We met with her again in the spring prior to my wedding at which time we knew colors and had a better idea of what we were going for with the flowers (again, I brought pictures / ideas of other bouqets, centerpieces, etc. for what I liked). Gail was very professional and extremely helpful in "deciphering" my ideas and putting them into reality. She came up with very personalized designs and followed the colors we talked about to a tee. (Our wedding colors were Charcoal Grey and Yellow ~ the girls wore grey dresses and carried bouqets of white and all different shades of yellow flower) Everything about the flowers were beautiful!

This wasn't something that I was very excited about initially (not big into flowers, etc.) and something that I didn't think I had any opinion on. Gail was very helpful in taking my semi-nonchalant or laid-back attitude and helping me come up with something that I loved, very easily! She was very responsive to any questions that we had and was even able to change some of the boutinere orders a couple days before the wedding. Highly recommended!!

I had the chance to have Gail as my florist for my wedding, which took place on June 25th, 2010. At the beginning, I didn't have a precise idea of what I wanted so I told her what I had in mind, how I pictured my wedding... simple & elegant, summery, not too formal...
The result was amazing. She really met my needs and surpassed my expectations. She is a great professional (on time, full of ideas and advice, flexible and able to respect the budget I had). I would highly recommend future brides to trust her!

Gail did a wonderful job with all my flowers and decorations!! I got so many compliments from my guests, and the staff at the country club where we had the reception. She was so easy to work with and gave great ideas since I don't know a whole lot about flowers. She was reasonably priced and very flexible with my quote as I had to change the number of bouquets and centerpieces. I would highly reccommend GVL Floral to any bride that needs one less thing to worry about on the big day. She took care of everything for me, and it was beautiful!!

Great Job - a pleasure to work with!! The flowers looked amazing!

Gail was wonderful to work with. She was dependable, answered emails promptly, and was very personable. I was confident she would do the work as promised. In addition to all of this, her work was beautiful!

Gail is a great florist! She took my ideas and executed them beautifully! She was very friendly and fun to work with and did an excellent job creating my bouquet as well as the bridesmaids bouquets and other arrangements. I was so happy with my flowers!!!

Gail is fantastic. We never actually met (we only spoke through email) and she was still able to blow us away with her professionalism and quality of work. Our flowers were perfect and we highly recommend GVL Floral.

Gail was an amazing florist! We loved working with her and she knows what she is doing. Her floral arrangements in our ceremony and reception sites were amazing and many people commented that my wedding had the most beautiful flowers that they had ever seen. I would definitely recommend Gail.

Gail was AMAZING! Her ideas were exactly what I was looking for and more! I couldn't have even imagined what the reception site was going to look like and when I walked in I was floored! More beautiful than I could even put into words! She is an amazing person!

Gail's work was just gorgeous. We told her exactly what we wanted, and along with her recommendations, everything was beautiful. I constantly receive complements when people see photos of my bouquet!

Gail is absolutely amazing! Her prices were so fabulous and the flowers were GORGEOUS! I met her after seeing some reviews and having a major falling out with my previous florist. She is very quick to respond to emails, very flexible and her value is amazing! I highly suggest using Gail for your flowers!

Gail was a delight to work with. She would answer any questions I had and was always full of her own creative ideas when I didn't know what I wanted. My flowers were absolutely gorgeous the day of the wedding and everything I imagined and more.

Our florist was GREAT. She went above and beyond on our flowers. They all turned out beautiful. She was great to work with and the cost was great. I was very satisfied with her. I would definetly recommend her.

Gail is amazing! My flowers were just gorgeous! Exactly what I pictured.

Gail worked with me to get the look I wanted while staying in my budget. She provided suggestions based on her experience and has several photos of past jobs for you to view. She is very accomodating and even used flowers she had in stock to make a "mock" bouqet when I needed a visual.

My sister has a totally different theme and is using Gail for her wedding too. I went to her appointment and Gail provided the same level of service and attention to detail, along with a whole new floral theme!

Recommend highly!

Flowers are something that you can't completely control when you're planning your wedding, which made me a bit nervous. But Gail listened to exactly what I wanted and offered great suggestions. When I changed my mind about the color of my flowers a month before, she had no problem changing my order. On my wedding day, the flowers were one of my favorite things. I couldn't believe how beautiful they were! They were better than I had hoped and dreamed they would be.

The flowers were beautiful. There was an error with the bride's bouquet, but the florist came out in fixed it right before the wedding. Great prices!

Gail was amazing! i literally told her what colors/ textures i wanted and she put together the most amazing flowers! i felt like i got $5000 worth of flowers for much much less. There was no stress involved at all....it was such a wonderful surprise to see what she put together!

My flowers were almost perfect. My husband's did not hold up as well, but I loved my girls' flowers and my own. The cost was a little steep in comparison to a few others; however, she totally understood what I wanted...

She is amazing. She has been doing this out of her home office for 20 years and is familiar with nearly every reception site in the greater Grand Rapids area, so she has a great vision and great ideas. She also types up an itemized quote for you during your first meeting that you can then review. She was very very competent!

Gail was wonderful….She did everything we asked her for and it looked great!

Gail was very nice to work with, she was within the same price range as 5 other florist I checked out in Grand Rapids. My girls' flowers and our mother bouquets were perfect. My bouquet was exactly what I wanted and Gail worked hard to get tulips for me when they weren't really in season. She went beyond on that aspect. My only complaint would be that my bouquet had a small flaw that wasn't fixed ahead (I had a tulip sticking up way above and out of the bouquet, I almost broke it off because it was driving me nut!).

Gail's Flowers are amazing. Her professional service and attention to detail has left so many brides speechless at the sight of their flowers. I look forward to every event where I know GVL Floral will make the day even prettier.
