Village Gardens

Everything was perfect - the flowers were beautiful and the prices weren't super high.

The flower quality is beyond words! I was very pleased with how everything turned out...more than I could have ever imagined!

We didn't use a lot of floral decorations, but we did hire Village Gardens to do our bouquets. My entire life, all I wanted for my wedding was blue roses. When I saw by bouquet for the first time on my wedding day I was in awe. Absolutely beautiful.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Dana at Village Gardens in Blue Springs, MO. I particularly wanted to go with this florist because I've received flowers dozens of times from them and they are always incredibly beautiful. We scheduled a meeting with Dana pretty early on, and she was an absolute joy to work with. She was attentive and happy to set up a couple of extra meetings when we lost our wedding venue and had to select another. She was patient and incredibly helpful. Our flowers were stunning, as well as our centerpieces for our reception and all of the little extras for the ceremony.

We rented tall candelabras for the aisle for the ceremony, did two altar arrangements (which we gave our moms later), and did flower petals all down the sides of the aisle. Our centerpieces were three different types, and Dana worked her magic to bring our Alice In Wonderland theme to life on the tables. The bouquets were deep red roses, and were stunning. My bouquet had the red roses and dark purple calla lilies, all of which were sprinkled with "diamond dust". They were all so beautiful, and are gorgeous in photos.

Everyone from Village Gardens was so attentive the day of and made sure everything looked exactly how I had envisioned. We would recommend them to anyone. It was all so budget friendly and we were so happy with everything. Thanks so much!!!

I was incredibly happy with the flowers and service I recieved from Dana at Village Gardens. I live out of town and never actually had an opportunity to meet with her in person, and she was very open to working with me over the phone and via email. I didn't have a real specific idea of what I wanted, and I had talked to other florists who really weren't very helpful in terms of offering suggestions, but Dana had ideas and suggestions for me and clearly knew her stuff, so I was totally comfortable to trust her to come up with something I'd be happy with based on my color scheme and a couple inspiration photos. The only things she did for us were the bouquets and bouts, but my bouquet turned out completely beautiful! She did really great work for what I felt was a very reasonable price. I highly, highly recommend!

I really liked working with Dana at Village Gardens. She had lots of great ideas and was willing to work with my budget to create exactly what I had in mind for my big day. I was very happy with how everything turned out!

Dana was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with. I explained my budget and she worked with me to stay within it - and even a few hundred dollars under! I also changed one of my colors after our initial meeting and she was more than flexible. She met with me again and spent over an hour showing me different combinations and discussing options until I was happy with our decisions. Delivery was on time and the flowers were beautiful! She also provided some decorations for our reception which she took care of herself. I would recommend Village Gardens to any bride - you'll get excellent service and flowers for a great price!

Dana was so AWESOME! She connected with us from the first moment we met! She could invision just what we wanted and made our wedding PERFECT! The floral arrangements were amazing and the centerpieces were out of this world cool! They were definitely a topic of conversation! Thanks Dana for everything!

Village Flowers did a wonderful job!!!! Loved my flowers!!!

I LOVED my flowers from Village Gardens!!! They did such an amazing job! They were beyond what I imagined they'd be. Dana was awesome and she helped me with other decisions that weren't related to the flowers. She is like a wedding coordinator! Loved working with her and Village Gardens!

Village Gardens was FANTASTIC!!!!!! I would highly recommend them to any bride. Dana took the time to help plan out all the centerpieces and decorations at the church. Our guests have been sending us emails going on and on about our centerpieces and how fun they were. All the flowers and decorations were delivered on time, which is important. Most importantly, the brides bouquet was the most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen at any wedding. They did a phenomenal job on it.

Our experience with Dana and Village Gardens was wonderful. We would highly recommend Village Gardens.

I was in love with my flowers! Dana was a huge help and made exactly what I wanted! I would highly recommend village gardens. They were easy to get a hold of to ask questions and even honored a coupon I brought in after I had already paid on full!

Dana Nigro and her team at Village Gardens was fantastic! Dana really listened to exactly what I wanted and made my wedding so beautiful! She had so many great ideas and was very willing to work within my budget. I loved this place especially due to the fact that I could rent items, making it easier to have the glam wedding I wanted without the great expense. My wedding never would have been as beautiful without them. Thank you Village Gardens!

Hello Village Garden Family!!
I absolutely LOVED Everything that was provided to us for this wedding. I have always wanted to come in and get flowers for my wedding. So the fact that I had the opportunity to use your services for a wedding that I coordinated, made me realize that I will always come to Village Gardens FIRST for any flowers that I may need. Dana and her staff were always friendly and very helpful. I won't hesitate the next time anyone asks where should I get my flowers from. I have enough business cards to pass out as well. Lol! Thanks Dana and Village Gardens Team! ~ Patrice L. Blanks Chozen Ministries Wedding Coordinator/Designer

After having issues with the floral department of another vendor, my fiance and I decided to try The Village Gardens. They had been recommended to me by a friend whose wedding I attended and commented that her flowers were gorgeous! I set up an appointment with Village Gardens and met with Dana Nigro. She was not only very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, she saved us hundreds of dollars on our wedding bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, and table pieces. I chose to have the flowers delivered, and they showed up on time, labeled and ready to go. As I sit here now, 9 days since my wedding, I am still looking at beautiful flowers that are just now starting to wilt and fade. I will recommend Village Gardens to anyone who is looking for cut flower arrangements! You made my wedding planning and wedding day a lot less stressful, and that means a lot to any bride! Superb job!

I loved my flowers. They even gave me the name of a man who makes your bouquet into a candle.

Dana and the Village Gardens did an amazing job! I couldn't have asked for anything more beautiful! And, Dana was fun to work with and extremely helpful! She's full of amazing ideas! I was beyond pleased with my experience w/ Village Gardens!

The flowers were beautiful and Dana was very helpful!

Our flowers were amazing and Dana was AMAZING to work with! She worked well within our budget and still gave us more than we could have ever imagined possible! She even saved us more money than we thought because she gave us the option to let her buy the flowers at the city market that week wholesale, the results were breathtaking! i highly highly highly recommend them!

Dana and TJ did an amazing job on our wedding! I wouldn't have changed a thing! I had NO issues! I would highly recommend Village Gardens to anyone.

Dana,
our wedding flowers were beautiful...thank you so much!
Tiffany & Paul Cruse

Village Gardens did an awesome job on our wedding flowers & decor. Our bouquets and boutonierres and corsages were beautiful, and Dana was such a pleasure to work with. She was always quick to respond to my emails and questions, and wasn't shy about giving suggestions and opinions when she knew i was confused or seemed overwhelmed. They can work with any budget, and want nothing more to give you a great experience and a beautiful wedding. I would definitely use them again for any special occasions and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Dana, We can't thank you enough for the amazingly beautiful flowers for our daughter Emily's wedding on April 16, 2011. When we met with you we had no idea what a wonderful surprise was we were in for! She was so excited about her bouquet! The bridesmaids flowers were gorgeous with simple elegance. The reception flowers were absolutely knock your socks off! Thank you for your suggestions and professionalism! We will recommend you to everyone looking for an awesome florist! Patti Lanzer

Dana,
I cannot begin to express the delight myself and everyone had in your wonderful flowers for Katie and Jon’s wedding on Saturday, 12/18/10. They along with the lighting effects and venue decor gave Katie what she wanted – a Winter Wonderland setting. I especially loved the memory candle holders with the organza ribbon and the Stars of Bethlehem. It really gave those candles a special meaning that they so deserved. The hydrangeas were breathtaking and looked like snowballs. I took home what I could and hated having to leave the rest, but ….we will have pictures.

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!! It was all way beyond my expectations!! I will certainly recommend you to everyone. You were so easy to work with and had the right questions to jog Katie’s mind in order for her to tell you what she really wanted.

Dana was wonderful to work with. My daughter and I arrived at our first consultation without a clue other than the wedding colors and general theme. Dana provided the perfect inspiration for a very memborable event. Her professionalism and friendliness were much appreciated. She was mindful of our budget and more than willing to work with us. Her staging of a fireplace mantle helped me accomplish a much desired element for the reception that I thought was going to be impossible to obtain. I would hightly recommend that you consult Dana and take advantage of her creativity for any event you a planning.

Dana was just AWESOME! After already visiting with three other florists, I was starting to get discouraged that what I had in mind for my wedding wasn't going to happen with the budget we had set. Dana just got me! She understood exactly what I wanted and found a way to make it work with my budget. She was great with giving me beautiful ideas as well. I have to admit, when I walked into their store I thought "there's no way I can afford this place." It's absolutely gorgeous inside. You could spend all day in there and never get bored. They have tons of awesome items. I'll admit, I was wrong. They are very reasonably priced. The wedding flowers were amazing! They did an amazing job. I wasn't even planning on preserving my bouquet until I saw it and fell in love with it. Thanks so much for making our wedding day so beautiful!

I worked with Dana at Village Gardens and adored her! We met with her and conveyed our limited budget and she did everything she could to get creative with what we could afford. The flowers were beyond beautiful. People raved about my bouquet and the flowers lasted a really long time. We also rented a really great candle stand that was much more modern looking than every other flower vendor we met with. They have an amazing selection and you are in great hands with Dana.

We could not have been more pleased with job that Dana Nigro and her staff at Village Gardens did on the flowers for our wedding. Dana was so helpful at every stage. She gave us many options, allowed us to make suggestions and changes, and gave us some of the best advice as we developed the arrangements. Since we wanted a Fall color scheme, and we first developed our ideas in July, we did not get to see all of the flowers in person until the wedding day.

WOW!! Everything was beyond belief. The arrangements were stunning, the color scheme was spot on, and the flowers were so fresh and vibrant. They were the most beautiful flower arrangements we have ever seen at a wedding/reception. We received so many comments from our guests about the flowers and guests were even fighting (good naturedly, of course) over who would get to take home centerpieces.

We would not hesitate to recommend anyone to use Village Gardens in Blue Springs. We live on the north-side of Kansas City, but the drive was worth it!!

Dustin and Karen Bozwell (married 10/10/10)

Everything looked gorgeous! The flowers were fresh and beautiful. We were even able to use them for brunch centerpieces the next day! Highly recommend them!

Dana and everyone at the Village Gardens were SO helpful in creating a beautiful wedding day for us! Despite her very busy schedule, she was always willing to meet with me or talk with me over the phone to make sure we were on the same page with everything. I didn't have a specific idea in mind of what I wanted, but I gave her some suggestions and she RAN with them and created AMAZING bouquets, centerpieces, and the altar pieces were stunning. I could not be happier with everything she did for us. :o)

You are wonderful!

Dana was a big help with collecting my ideas and creating beautiful arrangements! The flowers were perfect. Even our cake decorator noted that she had a large amount of flowers to use for our cake and normally she barely has enough. Everything went off without a hitch with Village Gardens. I didn't have any negative experiences working with them.

Dana,
Thank you so much for making my vision for our bouquets and centerpeices and every other floral peice a reality! I will definitely recommend you to all of my friends! You were wonderful to work with-thank you for making everything so stress free as well!

Thank you,
Jenna Perry

Dana and her team are an absolute pleasure! We kept adding to our wedding order -- more flowers for the church, the reception, the flower girl... When my bridal bouquet arrived my mother and bridesmaids gasped -- even the groomsmen commented on them! I still say my flowers were the best part of the day -- I think I had the most gorgeous wedding flowers of all time! THANK YOU DANA!

Dana and her team from Village Gardens did an incredible job on Megan & Erik's Wedding. The bouquets were so beautiful, everything was perfect. I am so glad that we went with those centerpieces, they were spectacular. We got so many compliments on the flowers and the colors. I had numerous people ask me who did them. The wedding was gorgeous! Thanks so much.

Dana and Village Gardens provided the flowers for our daughter's wedding in early June, 2010. From our first meeting through the day of the wedding, Dana was available for questions or changes or just to support us. The flowers were absolutely perfect. Everything was labeled and it was so easy to figure out whose flowers were whose! My daughter's bouquet was perfect; she wanted a picture of her grandmother tied into the bouquet as a memorial; it was done exactly the way she wanted it. Dana gave me the name of a vendor to preserve the bouquet! We are truly happy with Dana and Village Gardens. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful flowers and professional service.

Dana at Village Gardens is wonderful to work with! She was able to fulfill my wedding wishes within my limited budget. The quality of work she does is fabulous. She did my bridesmaids bouquets and centerpieces and everyone loved the centerpieces so much they asked to take them home!

My goodness there is absolutely NO reason not to choose this store to do your wedding!I would recommend this to anyone who wants a great floral arrangement at their wedding. The flowers was very cheap and really good Quality.

When I went to Dana at the village gardens in Blue Springs, I only had a picture of a bouquet and boutonniere that I saw online. I had a Christmas wedding and knew I wanted roses. She took my pictures and after talking with me for a while she came up with something wonderful. I ordered my flowers from them after meeting with three other florists and finding out that for the same thing would be way more expenisve elsewhere. We were so happy with all of our flowers and with how fast they got back to us when we had questions or had to add to our order.

Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic! The most beautiful floral creations I've ever seen. People couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous everything was! I would have been so disappointed had we chosen anyone else. Village Gardens is amazing!

We worked with Dana at The Village Gardens and she was amazing. We described what we had in mind and she made it happen. The flowers and decorations were exactly what we had hoped for. The flowers looked absolutely amazing and were a great price for what we received.

Dana was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my flowers where incredible brilliant color, great to work with !!! please call them you will not be disappointed
for what I spent in flowers it looked like I spent 3x more

Beautiful flowers and they stayed fresh for a whole week!

They were FABULOUS...flowers were beautiful and talked about all day at my wedding!! They did not let me down even one time!

I went into village gardens with a very specific idea of what I wanted but a very tight budget. I thought I would go in, get a price, and have to leave since I heard that they are the most expensive place. However, I was thrilled when their price for everything was $5 short of the top of my budget. They listen well to what you want. I came in with a picture to show the flowers I want and she knew what the flowers were. Day of came and they were absolutely beautiful. Please take advantage of having such a great florist in town.

Sincerely,

An extremely picky and very happy Bride
Jessica

Dana went through every detail with me! She did exactly as I wanted and helped me come up with ideas when I was clueless! It all looked beautiful. Thanks to Dana and her team of florists!

Dana was courteous and professional. She was very helpful and knowledgeable when it came to picking out the perfect flowers for our special night. The flowers were BEAUTIFUL!, to say the least. I was so happy when I saw my bouquet, it was just as I had hoped it would be. All the rental items were delivered as ordered. I will definitely take my business to them again and again!!
Thank you for our beautiful flowers Dana!

My flowers were absolutely GORGEOUS!! I loved my flowers and all arrangements. I couldn't have pictured them better my self.

Amazing flowers

We did not have a lot of money to spend on flowers but what we did have done we loved. They did an excellent job on picking out the perfect flowers to match our theme and colors.

I contacted Dana Nigro with only a few ideas of what I wanted for my wedding day flowers. She took my little ideas and made them big! My wedding flowers were absolutely gorgeous. I have had so many compliments on my bouquet and my attendants' bouquets--they were amazing. Village Gardens was punctual and delivered to my specifications. Dana always returned my calls and emails promptly. I would definitely use them again, if I were to go back and start over. Amazing!

I found their services to be excellent and was very pleased with my flowers.

It was such a pleasure to work with Dana @ Village Gardens for the bouquets,boutonnieres, and corsages. We were on a very tight budget, Dana listened to what we wanted, threw some ideas to us-which were so much more than we expected-to make our wedding flowers unique to our wedding, not a copycat from a magazine, and she went from there. When the price was a smidge over our budget she knew where she could cut costs without it being noticed. We will most definitely recommend the florists at The Village Gardens for all floral needs and Dana Nigro for bridal flowers!

Beautiful work, a little pricey, but its worth it.

Dana was so helpful because she was able to take the vision I had for the wedding and put together the perfect collection of flowers to match. They were beautiful, and I never once had to worry or stress about them after booking Village Gardens.

Dana at Village Gardens did a wonderful job with all of my flowers. She is definitely a busy lady, and rightly so her work speaks for itself, so go to your meeting prepared. Know what you want/like and what you don't, pictures also greatly help. I myself had a general idea of what I wanted, but wasn't familiar with all of the names so pictures were the way to go for me. All in all, I received beautiful flowers with great service and timely delivery the day of the wedding.

Very helpful staff, knew exactly what i wanted.

The Village Gardens were friendly and comparible in price. The flowers were beautiful. However, I sent a picture for what I wanted for my bouquet, and I got something that was a bit smaller and it was missing a flower pictured. It was still a lovely bouquet, just not what I hoped to get for my money.

Dana was wonderful! I so enjoyed my experience with Village Gardens. The flowers were beautiful and she took many of my ideas and made them better. She brought the flowers to two different places and set up all of the centerpieces at the reception. This was a huge advantage to my family so we could all be together instead of setting up! Instead of just providing flowers, Village Gardens provided a floral service, something that became invaluable to me as the wedding drew closer. Thank you for making my decor stress-free and beautiful!

Great job. The flowers looked exactly how i asked for them. She did a fantastic job on listening to what i was looking for and creating that look. We ran into a small problem with the boutenierres, but they immediately brought us new ones as soon as we alerted them to the issue. Great place to work with.

I had an excellent experience working with Village Gardens. I would recommend them to anyone. Dana had such creative ideas for working with my budget. All of our flowers were beautiful and fresh. The wedding department was very easy to work with. The only criticism I have is for the staff working the front desk. They were unorganized and sometimes rude when I called or tried to pay my bill.

I loved my flowers on my wedding day. They were beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. They added extra touches to make it a little more special and make it stand out a more. My only complaint was that some of my white gerbera daisies had brown on them so it wasn't quite perfect but that's so minor in the whole scheme of things. My wedding was perfect and I loved my flowers. They did a beautiful job. They were easy to work with and it was just a good experience overall.

Our flowers were beautiful (loved my bridal bouquet) & they made our cake gorgeous. However, our wreath did not get put on the door of our reception hall until after the guests got there. Somehow there was a miscommunication.

We thought Dana was a delight to work with and we were very happy with the flowers and decor at our wedding.

We had village gardens design our bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, and alter flowers for our wedding.

During the initial meeting with Dana, I feel that she was very helpful in providing opinions about what flowers would be best for my wedding (durability for a hot day but still look the way I want them to look - I did not want a lot of greenery). I showed her a picture of what I wanted, only in a different color.

The day before the wedding, Dana called me to tell me that the freesia that she received from her vendor did not look good, therefore she needed to change all the boutonnieres (except the groom's) to another flower. I was happy that she contacted me to discuss this issue.

When the flowers arrived at the church, the bouquets were significantly different than what I had pictured. The roses and bouquets themselves were much smaller than I thought, and there was a significant amount of greenery throughout the bouquet (from the unopened freesia) vs. what we had originally discussed and my original picture.

The flowers were delivered before the scheduled time though, which I was very thankful for so that there were no delays in pictures.

Overall, we received good service (responsiveness to questions/phone calls and flowers were delivered ahead of schedule), but I was slightly disappointed with the way the bouquets looked due to the size and the greenery.

Dana and her staff were friendly and helpful. The flowers were beautiful and just what I ask for.

Okay wow, they blew me away with their flowers. I was a picky bride who didn't want roses and baby's breathe ANYWHERE near my wedding. Sorry, they are just too traditional for my taste. I went in knowing basically what I wanted but with Dana's help she created something that was more then I imagined. When I first saw my flowers upon arriving at the church, I began to cry. They were perfect.

They were very helpful, the flower arrangements were beautiful, they are a little pricy.

My flowers were beautiful. I feel that their prices were comparable to other vendors but still remain more than i budgeted. They did NOT offer delivery which meant that someone had to pick the flowers up the am of the ceremony and delver them to the reception/church locations. Because of this, time was short and some of my flowers that were supposed to go onto the cake ended up at the church (they were packaged like a boutonierre instead of loose flowers). I wish they had packaged the ceremony flowers seperate from the "loose" flowers that were supposed to go to the cake lady. Because of this, I rated the quality of service a 3. If you are looking at this review prior to picking a flower vendor, think about making your bouquets lie over your arm instead of holding them in front - this will save you a hunk of $$!

Dana and TJ are so great to work with on your wedding day! Dana is so helpful and creative at designing your magical finishing touches for your event. They also have unlimited items to rent for your ceremony decor and reception centerpieces. They have a marvelous location in Blue Springs to have your bridal consultation with them. Check out all thier work on my website at www.bellabreephotography.com.

Some of the MOST beautiful flowers I've seen! The floral designers are very innovative and have surprised me with some of the amazing things they've done with flowers.

It is because of TJ & Dana Nigro's comittment to quality in service and product that I've made Village Gardens my exclusive stop for all my floral needs. I love the personal touches they include in the arrangements sent to my clients and loved ones and I truly appreciate the incredible and timely attention given to my orders. You'll be amazed at the wonderful things they can do with flowers for your occassion.
