My husband and I had set our wedding date for right after Valentine's Day; not realizing that we would have such a hard time to find a florist within our price range. Well after meeting with Cheryl, our worries were gone! She sat with us and was very attentive to our questions and ideas - she gave us the service from what you would expect if planning a wedding for 300pp (but it was only for 30 guests)! She had printed photos for us to look at and gave us some really great ideas - both beautiful and budget friendly. When we walked into our venue the day of the wedding, we were blown away by the full, colorful and striking centerpieces - it was exactly what we wanted. Then when she handed me my bouquet - WOW it was more than I expected but just perfect. We were thrilled to work with Cheryl at Parkway Florist and will be sure to recommend her to all of our family and friends.

Thank you for your kind words. It was fun to do a tropical themed wedding in the middle of winter......now, if you could just send me to Hawaii the next time! Good luck to you both!
GUEST




Cheryl is such a sweetheart and flowers were stunning. So easy to work with, tons of experience and great ideas! Also very considerate of any budget limitations, but still trying to work in ideas or requests the bride/groom might have for centerpieces, etc. Thanks, Cheryl!

Cheryl was great to work with and we were on the same page with all flower details. I got so many complitments on my flowers!
GUEST




I was 110% pleased with this vendor. I would recommend to all for wedding flowers. The flowers were not limp or brittle and they were arranged beautifully. The price is also just right and will fit any budget!!

Dear Cheryl and Keith,
I knew from the day I met with you Cheryl that the flower arrangements would be perfect. In fact everything you did for Erin and Mark’s wedding far surpassed anything I could have hoped for or imagined. You paid attention to every tiny little detail that made the wedding ceremony and reception elegant and breathtaking. Thank you seems like an understatement. You made my daughter’s Heinz Field wedding a dream come true. People are still talking about how beautiful a wedding it was. God bless you both.

Phyllis, we thank you so much for your kind comments! It was our pleasure to be part of Erin and Mark's special day. (and Mark looked so, so handsome in his uniform......almost as beautiful as Erin was!)
GUEST




Let me just say Thank You Cheryl! As a last minute change of mind I went from planning to be a DIY bride and make my own bouquet to scrambling to find a florist that I liked and was in my budget. I had been through a few meetings before going to Parkway and was beginning to lose some hope, but thank goodness I met with Cheryl! We discussed what I wanted and she helped guide me through my questions, and before you knew it I received amazing wedding flowers at a really reasonable price! I loved my flowers so much I wish I had gotten them preserved afterwards to keep them forever!
Vendor response to review
Awwww. Jen, you are makeing me blush! I enjoyed meeting with you and working with you to make your dream come true! The Succop Center is just an amazing place. I'm sure that your pictures are just beautiful. Congratulations again!
GUEST




It was a pleasure to work with Cheryl!! She sat down with us and we were able to describe what we wanted and she made it into a reality! My bouquet and my girls flowers were amazing and so were our centerpieces and kissing balls at the church. She answered all of my questions when I called and even organized a separate bouquet to be delivered to the hotel so I could have flowers in my pictures!
Cheryl also added an additional service I wasn't aware of! She took care of organizing all of the people for our processional at the church by lining everyone up and making sure people got down the aisle! She was an absolute help and she even fluffed my train and sent me down the aisle!
I would recommend Parkway Florist for any bride!!

GUEST




Enjoyed working with Cheryl and very happy with the flowers provided for the wedding. Bouquets were beautiful along with our table centerpieces. Appreciated Cheryl's willingness to answer questions whenever we called and thanks to her our ceremony and reception were beautiful due to her flower arrangements.
Vendor response to review
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was our pleasure to work with you and your daughter over Mother's Day weekend. You had a very beautiful day for a wedding!
GUEST




Cheryl and her team at Parkway Florist were absolutely amazing! They not only helped me select the flowers and assist me with design, they went above and beyond with the final outcome. The centerpieces were stunning and were better than I could have anticipated. I loved my flowers and the bouquets for my girls. They were absolutely affordable and worked to give me the most that they could while respecting my budget. I also asked for the bouquets to be fake flowers since I have bad allergies and you would NEVER know in a million years that they weren't real. I had guests coming up to me to ask me about all of our flowers and now I have my bouquet on a shelf in my house for display! I couldn't have been happier!
Vendor response to review
Valerie, I am so glad to hear how happy you were with our work. Congratulations and Best wishes in your new married life! Thanks again for your kind words of praise.
GUEST




Cheryl made the most beautiful bouquet for my daughter. Exactly what she wanted. All the girls bouquets,church flowers and the recepetion center pieces could not have matched any better. Cheryl you were a life saver. I apperciate all the hard you did to make our daughters wedding such a sucess. Thank you.
Vendor response to review

It was our pleasure to make your daughter's wedding so very special!
GUEST




The flowers were beautiful, she gave me a lot of good ideas, she set up the center pieces at the reception , and helped at the church. I will always deal with this company whenever I am in need of flowers.

Thank you so much for your kind comments.
It was our pleasure to help with your wedding & reception!
GUEST




Cheryl and her staff were amazing. I nicknamed Cheryl my fairy godmother, both for helping to provide just amazingly beautiful flowers for both our ceremony and reception, but for also just being so supportive. On the day of the wedding, she was the first to greet me as I got off the limo bus (almost late!) when I arrived at the church and helped me inside She is very calm and soothing and was exactly what I needed to calm my nerves before walking down the aisle. She was the one who helped to scrub a stain out of the front of my dress literally minutes before I walked down the aisle and had a pin to help fix some stray hairs. I can't say many florists would have done that!
The flowers were just gorgeous and were worth every penny. She was very easy to get a hold of and was super fast at returning phone calls. She is a true professional and I am so lucky that I chose her to supply all of the flowers for our wedding.
Vendor response to review
I was very thrilled to see you on your wedding day, and glad to have what you needed handy to help in the crisis.
You were a beautiful bride -- and I was thrilled to read that you were pleased with our work. Congratulations again!
GUEST




I was given Cheryl's contact information by a friend. I couldn't have been happier with the service and the way the flowers turned out. Cheryl had plenty of ideas for the bouquets and tons of pictures to look through. We asked her to do a winter forest scene at the front of the room for the ceremony and Cheryl did an amazing job. They branch arrangements were backlit on pedestals and covered in silver foil which ended up being just perfect. The bouquets were beautiful and certainly held up well. I did my own reception centerpieces and Cheryl did not try to pressure me into buyig anthing additional for them but she did make some really helpful suggestions. She even recommended our priest who was also a great a find. She also stopped by our bridal suite to wish me well before the ceremony.
Vendor response to review
Thank you So much Emily! I thought the Winter Wonderland we created for your ceremony was beautiful. So very glad that you were pleased as well.
GUEST




I loved my flowers so much. Every little detail about them were perfect. Thank you Cheryl!
GUEST




Cheryl and her team far surpassed the visions I had in mind for my wedding flowers. The put me at ease after I had an issue with the florist I hired originally and even went out of their way to accomodate some of my unusual requests, such as needing the ceremony flowers moved to the reception location. I would recommend Parkway Florist not just for weddings but for any occasion. They are phenomenal!
GUEST




Cheryl made the most beautiful centerpieces for my daughter's wedding. We had so many compliments on them. They matched my daughter's style perfectly and I know she loved them. I would definitely recommend Cheryl to anyone planning a wedding.
GUEST




Cheryl was fabulous the whole time and was such a pleasure to work with! We were thrilled with all of the bouquets and the centerpieces for our wedding day. We got so many compliments!
GUEST




Parkway Florist is OUTSTANDING! I was referred to Cheryl through another vendor and am so happy that I got to work with her! We set up an appointment to discuss flowers that could fit within my theme and budget, and it felt like I was talking to an old friend! I was able to get all of the flowers I wanted, in season, for a price that would make your jaw drop! Cheryl's passion for her work, and joy in the arrangements she produces is unparalleled! The attention to detail and service does not end when your flowers arrive. Cheryl helped with my veil, reminded me to breathe, and walked me to the church doors before the ceremony began! She individually passed out the bouquets to my bridesmaids and pinned all of the boutinerres on to the groomsmen. The reception flowers were stunning! Our centerpieces were exactly how we discussed, and her arrangements transformed the reception site into my vision and theme. Guests commented on how beautiful everything looked and were happy to hear they could take a centerpiece with them! Cheryl's work is beyond your expectations, and her personal touches show that she understands exactly what you want for your wedding day! I would recommend Cheryl to any bride who is on a budget but wants her wedding to look like the sky's the limit!
GUEST




My experience working with Parkway Florist and Cheryl was fabulous. She was very attentive and professional when listening to us explain our vision, taste and design scheme for the day. Although we only had one face to face consultation/meeting with Cheryl, she not only understood and relayed what we wanted in terms of flowers for our day, she did an amazing job. Additionally, Cheryl was also on hand at the ceremony to ensure that everything went smoothly with the flowers, etc., which I felt was a nice personal touch. It was a pleasure working with Parkway Florist.
GUEST




I only had a few weeks to plan a wedding and they had no problems at all getting me everything I wanted. I had red roses and white lilies that were amazingly beautiful especially for a March wedding. The cake topper was perfect and worked very well with my cake. They showed up early and needed no assistance from me (thankfully since I was late getting back from getting my hair done). All around wonderful people and wonderful service!
GUEST




Parkway Florist is a great vendor to work with! Cheryl is extremely friendly and helpful. All I had to do is tell her the colors I wanted, she showed me a couple pics that I liked and she did exactly what I wanted. The flowers were at the church before we even got there and when I saw my bouquet and those of my bridesmaids I cried because they were so beautiful! I would definitely recommend them!
Vendor response to review
Kristen;
Your photographer sent me a "little brag book" of photos from your wedding, so I got to see...all over again....how beautiful everything was for your day. Thank you again for allowing us to help you and be a part of your day. Cheryl
GUEST




We loved working with Cheryl at the Parkway Florist. You could tell right from the start, she has a gift for understanding the vision of her clients and using that to create beautiful floral arrangements. She met with us twice in person and we had several phone calls to finalize the plans for the ceremony and reception flowers. We felt her prices were reasonable, and the quality of the end product was top notch. Many thanks to Cheryl!
Vendor response to review
Emily & Jonathan: congratulations again.....So glad that you were pleased with your flowers! Your honest comments are much appreciated.
GUEST




I was very pleased with how my flowers turned out! the centerpieces were included as part of a package at my reception site so I was unsure of the quality of flowers that I would have available to choose from, but they were very elegant - tall vases with orchids - that I got many compliments on! THe boquets were stunning and some of my bridemaids told me their boquets had lasted in water for several weeks after the wedding so you know the flowers are fresh!
Vendor response to review
Glad to hear that the bouquets lasted so long! I thought you would be amazed when you saw the reception room. Thanks again for allowing us to be part of your special day.
GUEST




The flowers for our wedding were beautiful. We got all of our bouquets, rose petals for the tables at the reception, and our cake topper from Parkway Florist. Everyone at the wedding commented how beautiful they were. I couldn't have been happier with how great they looked.
Vendor response to review
Thank you for your kind comments. Glad that everything turned out so well for your wedding. We will always stand ready to handle all our future floral needs.
GUEST




I went into this florist thinking I knew just what I wanted. I had purchased vase centerpieces that I wanted to use with particular flowers in a particular arrangement. Cheryl was kind enough to give me a detailed quote, lots of information, and show my plenty of pictures. Upon one occasion, I brought in my vase for her to do an arrangement, and it just wasn't what I envisioned. I thought I had wasted my money on 30 vases! Well, Cheryl said to give her 10 minutes, and as I stood there, she totally transformed the same vase and flower colors into a beautiful centerpiece! All for the same price that she had quoted prior. She even gave me the vase with flowers to take home for free!
On my wedding day, my flowers were fresh, delivered timely, and smelled amazing! She stayed behind to ensure our walk down the asile was smooth and everyone was happy. I'd recommended this vendor to others who used her at their weddings and they were just as pleased. Good luck!
GUEST




Fantastic flowers - gorgeous - and Cheryl was great to work with!
Vendor response to review
So glad that you were thrilled with your flowers.
It was our pleasure to work with you on the best day of our life!
GUEST




Easy to work with - flowers were beautiful. My bouquet was VERY heavy - be sure to ask about the weight when looking at flower arrangements.
GUEST




The flowers from this vendor are beautiful, but it is hard to get in contact with the florist and to make appointments. When I informed the florist we were moving from the area and needed to do our confirmation appointment within a month's time, it seemed like I was a bother. I know some brides get a little spastic about planning, but our move was a valid reason to get planning done (though this was only 3.5 to 4 months out from our wedding date). Although the flowers were lovely, the price was a little high and I felt a little railroaded in the decision making.
Vendor response to review
Our shop supplied only the reception centerpieces for this wedding. The Bride choose to upgrade slightly from the standard allowance of her facility's package. She was not forced nor pressured into doing so. She actually could have chosen from 8 different styles, and numerous flower combinations and stayed within her allowance. We do not know who provided her personal flowers or their cost. We make every attempt to meet with all prospective Brides as soon as possible.
GUEST




Flowers turned out beautiful, but not completely what we requested. This wasn't a huge issue, but my bridal party and family did not enjoy the employees attitude and aggressiveness at the church after delivering the flowers. She was forceful and tried to take over the coordinating. I am not sure if this is a common thing for the flower lady to direct, but the manner to which this was done was not appreciated.
Vendor response to review
We have tried, thru various means, to contact Alison regarding these comments. We are puzzled by her comments. She has chosen not to respond to our request for an opportunity to discuss this matter with her or rectify it in any way. We stand behind our products and services. We sincerely do offer the very best products and personal services to our brides, including flowers, flower delivery and full wedding service.
I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl and her company Parkway Florist in the Fall of 2006. What can I say about Parkway that hasn't already been raved about? The designs were absolutly breath-taking and really provided that "wow" factor that I was looking for. Really, it was almost like Cheryl plucked my vision right from my head and transformed it perfectly! The flowers made ALL the difference and they were fresh, abundant, and appropriatly sized. Thank you Cheryl for the amazing experience; any couple would be lucky to have the chance to work with you. I only hope that as a vendor now, I will get to have the chance again and again! Cheers, Courtney
Great work, easy to work with.
Parkway florist is at the top of wedding professionals in Piottsburgh.
Cheryl at Parkway Florist is one of our favorite vendors to work with in Pittsburgh. She not only is a top florist, she is also completely service oriented. She will work with every bride to ensure that the flowers exactly what was ordered. We have personally seen her stay with the bride until she walks down the aisle to make sure her gown, veil and flowers look their best as she makes her grand entrance. Additionally, she will offer advice gleaned from her years of experience to each and every client to make sure their wedding day goes off without a hitch.
Cheryl does an excellent job with her beautiful arrangements. Expect nothing but the best from her and the staff of experienced professionals that she employs. She delivers all of this with a reasonable cost as well! Try her out, you will not be dissapointed!
Cheryl is amazing! She creates beautiful, cutting edge floral designs to your specs. She will make sure everything is perfect and stay to help in any way she can. It's always a pleasure to see her at a wedding!

FAQ for Parkway Florist Inc.
Plan early.....book ahead for weekends that involve major holidays (Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc). Often, florists will only take a limited number of events for these days, and more importantly, because demand for flowers is so high (especially Mother’s Day) expect that the prices will be higher.
Ask questions, take lots of notes. Getting all your questions answered is very, very important.
