Gertie Mae's Floral Studio

I have ordered flowers from Gertie Mae's for several years. So when it was time to select a florist for my daughter's wedding, she and I agreed that Gertie Mae's was our first choice. Sherry, the owner, took time to meet with us at the wedding venue to discuss selections and colors. Amazingly, from that one conversation, Sherry was able to capture my daughter's desires and transform them into reality. Everything from the bridal bouquets, bountinnieres, and floral arrangements to the centerpieces for the reception were stunning!! Sherry selected the perfect flowers and colors to compliment the wedding theme. Sherry personally attended to the delivery and placement of the flowers and even took time to incorporate a family heirloom into the bridal bouquet. Her personal touches added elegance and beauty to the ceremony and reception. We will always be grateful for the role she played in making my daughter's wedding day a joyful and stress-free experience. We feel extremely blessed to have such a talented and creative florist in our community. Sherry has a special gift for selecting and arranging a unique combination of flowers and greenery that captures the vision of the customer's request. Her prices are very reasonable and the quality of her selections are astounding. She carefully attends to the flowers so that they are at the perfect stage of blossoming at the time of the event, and the arrangements stay lovely for several days. Gertie Mae's is the best!

Wow...I don't even know where to start! Everything about Gertie Mae's Florals was beyond PERFECT! It was just what I had imagined as a little girl who dreams about her wedding day! I spoke with Sherry a few times on the phone and email and then met with her once to finalize all the details for a quote. I was a little worried about the whole experience because so many of my friends were disappointed on their wedding day when they saw their flowers and realized they were nothing that they talked about. Well, I had the exact opposite experience. Everything was just as I have envisioned! Sherry listens to her clients and goes above and beyond expectations! I can't even tell you how many compliments I got on all of her work. Even my professional photographers thought they were some of the most beautiful and unique flowers they'd seen, and plan to submit the wedding pictures to magazines. I would recommend any bride-to-be to meet with Gertie Mae's and I feel confident that she can fulfill their vision! The class, elegance, and uniqueness will make it an experience you never forget and that you definitely won't find anywhere else!

I was so pleased with my flowers for my wedding. Sherry (Gertie Mae's florist) took my ideas and ran with them. She added an artistic and unique touch to our flowers. Not only is Sherry an awesome person to work with, but she is very artistic. She is dedicated to her job and is very good at it (I might add). I gave Sherry a few ideas of flowers and the style we wanted. When I received my flowers on our wedding day, we were sooo pleased. She incorporated everything we wanted and more. Gertie Mae's is also has reasonable prices on bouquets, center pieces, etc. My husband and I paid for a lot of our wedding so we were on a tight budget. However, Gertie Mae's worked with us and had better prices than other florists. We had compared prices and talent, but nothing compared to Gertie Mae's quality of work and prices. We will be so happy when we look at wedding pictures and see how beautiful our flowers were.

Sherry provides the best service and the best flowers for our BIG day. My husband and I both were extremely happy with everything she did for us.

Sherry was very easy to work with and had great suggestions. The flowers were beautiful and not overpowering. She attended to every wish and want my daughter had. Francie did a wonderul job arranging the fresh flowers on site and handled every little detail with grace and flair. Highly recommend!

Sherry is such a wonderful person. We met her for lunch when interviewing her and immediately fell in love with her work and her as a person. She enjoys getting to know the couples and their personality which helps her understand the look and feel you want on your wedding day. We were getting married in a garden and there were already flowers everywhere. We simply wanted to add to the ambiance and not compete with the gardens. She understood exactly what we were talking about, and without even visiting the gardens, showed up early on our wedding day and put together the most beautiful wedding flowers I had ever seen. She is extremely professional, caring, and will go above and beyond to make sure she is meeting your expectations.

Gertie Mae's was the best! Our flowers were absolutely stunning!! Everyone who sees pictures or the wedding video inevitably comment about the gorgeous flowers! Sherry Donnelly (Gertie Mae's amazing florist!) suggested meeting at the venue to discuss the flowers so she could get a 'feel' for the place. My daughter had some very specific ideas about colors and a few flower types. Sherry listened closely, asked appropriate questions, and gave wonderful suggestions! After talking about the specific flowers my daughter wanted to include, we pretty much gave Sherry the freedom to put things together using the colors and style we had discussed. When we talked about our budget, Sherry seemed a little concerned that she might not be able to provide what we wanted and stay within our budget, but she promised to try. My daughter liked her so much that she "booked her on the spot" knowing that she might have to pay more to get what she wanted. A few days later, Sherry emailed with a proposal UNDER our budget! She seemed as thrilled as we were. We were even able to add a few more items! And the flowers were truly amazing! Exactly what my daughter wanted and I couldn't have envisioned anything more perfect! They were fresh and vibrant. So many people have commented and even 'gushed' over the flowers, that now I'm surprised when someone doesn't comment. They were just that beautiful! Gorgeous! Gorgeous!! We highly recommend Sherry and Gertie Mae's!!

Gerties Maes is a local florist with the talent that its unmatched! The flowers for our wedding were amazing! They turned out better than we could have every imagined. She really listened to what i wanted (even though i know very little about flowers). She matched the arrangements to my style and the venues style perfectly. When we arrived to the venue they day of the wedding to see the wonderful display of flowers and beautiful bouquets we all had a huge smile on our faces! the flowers were very fresh and the colors were vibrant. Gerties Maes provides friendly and professional service which is what a bride and groom needs- no more stress, just hire Gerties Maes and check that off your list! A great value and you wont be disappointed. Gerties Maes has it all when it come to flowers and we would not change a thing!

Imagine living in Florida and ordering flowers long distance from GA... It was an outdoor fall wedding by a rushing river with a backdrop of a fading herb garden, its pretty green flora quickly turning brown. We kept our fingers crossed and hoped that we would find a florist who could work with this and also capture my daughter-in-law's vision of "rustic/elegance with fairy garden flowers, freshly picked and loosely tied." Okay... nature's simplicity...but not too simple...more elegance with... Could it be done?? YES! Florist Extraordinaire, Sherry Donnelly is the angel who patiently listened and magically transformed the wedding site into an absolutely gorgeous outdoor setting; a breathtakingly beautiful venue; each flower a perfect work of art. The quality was second to none - they lasted for days after! Gerti Mae's flowers - worth every dollar spent...Sherry - priceless.

The absolute favorite part of our wedding besides each other was our flowers! Sherry truly did an amazing job on all our arrangements and bouquets, and they were the absolute perfect compliment to our wedding. The whole process was so easy with Sherry - I showed her images of what I liked, gave her an idea of the colors and types of flowers we wanted included and left the rest up to her, and she beyond exceeded our expectations!!! It was the perfect balance of what we envisioned paired with her creative talent. I cannot sing her praises enough. Its so nice, especially on your wedding day, to be able to leave something in someone's hands and just know that it will get done and get done WELL. It was a pleasure working with Gertie Mae's.

I cannot compliment Gertie Mae's enough...Sherry has such creative taste, and she was a joy to work with. She and I met literally just one time before the wedding, and all I gave her was, "I want sunflowers and something blue" and she was able to map out the entire ceremony and reception with the perfect combination of flowers. The colors were striking, and she kept the bouquets simple yet inventive- exactly what I wanted. The guests were complimenting her centerpieces all night, and she definitely deserved the attention! It ended up pouring rain right before our ceremony (which was outside), and somehow Sherry managed to keep all the flowers looking magnificent. Not only that, but she was also our wedding coordinator for the day, and she was such a breath of relief all night long. I never once worried about the rain, the guests, the food or drinks, etc, because Sherry was in full control. Thanks to her the night was beautiful, and my husband and I were able to focus on each other, instead of worrying about details. I would recommend Gertie Mae's again and again. Sherry is definitely one of the most talented people, and her personality is full of warmth and kindness- all characteristics that are nice to see when you are planning a wedding!

I loved working with Gertie Mae's and Sherry specifically!! I was a bride with no real vision and very little knowledge of the floral world. Sherry took it all in stride and looked through my inspiration pictures patiently. She also took my twenty mismatched and different color pitchers I wanted to use for the vases and still managed to create stunning centerpieces in each. They were all different and unique and yet, she somehow managed to capture exactly the look I wanted. I truly don't know how she did it but everything was gorgeous - the bouquets, the sprays, the centerpieces, everything. Her flowers all look so organic and natural and not at all uniform. We allowed guests to pick out centerpieces to take home and everyone was so thrilled to take home Sherry's gorgeous flowers. Last, we also asked Sherry to be our Day of Coordinator and thank goodness we did! She took charge of our day and ensured that everything went smoothly. If there was a wrinkle or a problem that took place that day - I had no idea and still don't! Several family members later commented how helpful she was and how she always seemed to be everywhere overseeing everything. She was professional, friendly and understanding. I was able to relax and enjoy our day knowing that she was in charge. I loved working with Gertie Mae's!

I can't say enough nice things about our experience with Gertie Mae's or Sherry (who also did double duty running around as our coordinator the day of the wedding). Just this week I was cleaning out the "inspiration folder" of photos on my laptop and realized exactly how exact the flowers were to what we wanted. She took it all in, and then put the special requests we had made into the mix. After our first meeting I felt completely confident that our wedding "details" were in good hands and that confidence has been confirmed as I look through our wedding photos. Sherry not only created beautiful floral pieces, she also took the extra decorations we brought in and used them to create the exact "look" we had envisioned in our heads. Everything from the bouquets to the small details most might have overlooked turned out far better than I had envisioned in my head. Gertie Mae's played a key role in making our wedding exactly what we wanted, and completely stress free. As a coordinator, Sherry was a delight. She blended into our guests so well that many actually thought she was my aunt. My husband and I were never asked a single logistical question, never wanted for a beverage, and things like my clutch mysteriously appeared at our table or back in our room at the end of the night. Numerous guests and family members commented on her extremely loving and friendly manner. By the end of our wedding planning and event, Sherry felt more like an old friend than a vendor. I highly recommend both Gertie Mae's for floral design, and Sherry as an extremely competent day of coordinator.

Hiring Gertie Mae's for our flowers and coordination was one of the best planning decisions we made! To start with, they are fantastic listeners. Everything we asked for was provided with professional quality and expertise. And to top that, they went even above and beyond the call of duty by helping to set up decorations that WE brought. There was genuine interest in making it the most beautiful day for us. Their floral arrangements are true works of art... top class design skill. As for the coordination, I felt like I had an extra sister there to help. Sherry was always available, and made sure that everyone was comfortable and doing what they needed to do at the appropriate time. She is an extremely pleasant individual with tons of knowledge on wedding day operations. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

The flowers delivered to the church and the reception site exceeded anything I had imagined. From the bouquets and church altar flowers to the buffet centerpieces, every flower arrangement was perfection! Exquisite! Exceptional!

Sherry and her team did an awesome job planning our wedding and creating floral arrangements. Our guests were constantly commenting on how beautiful the bouquets were, and the flower girl�s head wreath was perfect! Whenever people look at our wedding pictures they can�t stop talking about how my bridesmaids� bouquets complimented their dresses and how gorgeous my bouquets were (I opted for a traditional bouquet as well as a toss bouquet). Sherry was also a great planner and made sure that the rehearsal and ceremony went smoothly.

Getting together with Sherry was the best decision I made throughout the whole process. I had an idea of some flowers I wanted to use, but for any other arrangement I wasnÂ’t sure about Sherry helped me make a decision. She listened to everything I wanted and knew how to put a unique spin on a traditional southern wedding. She was professional and always so much fun to work with. She also did a wonderful job directing my wedding as well as recommending other great vendors! Everything looked better than we could have hoped and we were all 110% satisfied!

Sherry's talent is unbelievable. I would not have had such a beautiful wedding without her touch. The flowers she provided were fresh, stunning and elegant. I was so pleased to have her artistic touch to my wedding.

Sherry at Gertie Mae's handled all of the flowers and ceremony directing at my wedding. She spent time with me and helped me choose all of the flowers for my bouquets and decorations. All of the flowers were beautiful! And the ceremony and reception went very smoothly.
