What we offer our Wedding Clients:
Looking for 'Locally Grown' or 'Sustainably Grown'? We offer more than the usual florist affair. We are Specialty Cut Flower Growers. We make individual designs to satisfy the most discerning Bride. Bright colors or neutral and natural, all are unique designs. Come to us for 'Wildflowers' and personal service. "We are Your Local Flower Farmers."

Each week we offer a lovely selection of seasonal, locally grown flowers.

What we cannot do for Wedding Clients:
  • Guarantee a specific flower, due to Mother Nature. We rarely substitute. We can guarantee a look, a style and a color.
  • Keep in mind this is our profession. Feel free to call us with what you are looking for!  Susan will happily consult on any sort of full service wedding or designs she might make for you. Much of the information for ordering buckets and the calculations are on this site. Call if you don't see it. DIY means you are the floral designer, with all that entails.
  • Individual tour of our fields.  You can however, view some of our current flowers at the Farmers Market Tuesday afternoons. Most years we offer free open house days for farm visits. Follow our blog and Facebook for these dates.www.facebook.com/Shady-Grove-Gardens-69732574790/
  • Schedule a weekend consult, during the busy summer wedding season. Each bride is priority the week of her wedding. January- February, most anytime is open for consultation, as well as most Monday-Tuesdays the rest of the year.

Information you should start lining up:
  • Have your date, time and venue lined up.
  • Think about Flower Delivery; delivery or pickup? How far ahead would you like the personal flowers, photos before the wedding? Church or place you are staying?
  • Have a contact # for the week of the wedding and for the wedding site.
  • Have the contact # of wedding planner, designer or point person.
  • Budget
  • Number of the wedding party, men, women, Moms and Dads.
  • Have an idea of style and shape of Bouquet.
  • Know what you want for the reception or a budget. Just a general style is okay too.
  • Please choose a point person to contact us. (Please try to keep all inquires, payments and emails with the same names or names, otherwise I will be bonkers)
  • Please if you just want a few flowers or you don't know what you want, make it simple for me and use the phone. Please consolidate those e-mails. I can't answer 10 for the purchase of 2 bunches of flowers. Thanks for understanding!
