Forte' Floral provide the beautiful floral arrangements for my husband's Celebration of Life service. The wreaths and floral arrangements were absolutely stunning. They also provided three small vases with white flowers on each luncheon table. They suggested this and it turned out wonderfully. I was able to give the guests the smaller table decorations to take home. The white roses, carnations and baby breathe were perfect. My heartfelt thanks to Forte' for helping make this day very special for us. More...

Gorgeous arrangements and bouquets everytime. Both in drop-by and scheduled pickup situations I always end up with a jaw dropping set of foliage for a fair price.

I was hesitant to go big on flowers for our wedding, but after meeting with Jordan at Forte and getting our quote, I started getting excited with all that they could do on our budget. The entire team is extremely personable and experienced.

When I got to our venue (Gray Gables Estate) on the day of the wedding, I was ecstatic with how the flowers turned out. I had never seen such beautiful flowers. They heard the vision I had and ran with it--it turned out better than I could have imagined. The flowers were incredible quality and the amount of centerpieces, garlands, candles, aisle decorations, etc. they did made it seem like we spent way more than we did.

Because GGE and Forte are right next door to each other, it made it an even easier decision to go with Forte because they made set up and tear down a breeze! Forte's team is creative and can execute your vision and them some!! Definitely recommend.

I got married in October of 2018, and I still have my bouquet. Flowers preserved beautifully, the service was awesome. They really got me the best bang for my buck, worked hard to stay in and even under my budget. Always responded to my emails within a timely manner, and the final result was just breathtaking. Would for sure use them again and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for arrangements! More...

We used Forte Floral for our floral and decor design. They did an incredible job bringing my/our vision to life with very little guidance. I brought in inspirational photos, but otherwise, they were left to their own devices. The flowers turned out incredible - better than I had even hoped. I was receiving compliments on my bouquet and the table centerpieces all night long.
They also communicated very well with us throughout the entire planning process, including allowing us to be flexible with cake flowers, the number of bouts/corsages we needed, and the number of table centerpieces we needed. We are very thankful to have worked with such a professional, talented team!

Love love love this place!! Every time my kids had a school dance we'd head on over to forte for the boutonniere and corsage. Forte has a wide selection of flowers in a walk in cooler ready to be sold, they also have consultations so you can pick out the perfect flowers. I visit the store frequently because they always have new deals on jewelry, candles, hats you name it!  I love the environment here and 5/5 recommend. More...

I had no idea what I wanted for my wedding flowers, other than a budget in mind. Forte Floral more than exceeded my expectations! We had a fabulous visit with a consultant at their shop and she helped guide me through selecting some beautiful bouquet and boutonniere options while staying well within the budget i had in mind. Forte Floral was so easy to communicate with from the initial consultation, up to the day of the wedding. I even had to make a last minute change to one of the bouquets and they were so flexible to accommodate my needs. I received so many compliments on my bouquet and the wedding party flowers, and they looked beautiful in my photos. I will highly recommend Forte Floral to any bride! More...

I wanted my wedding flowers to be the shining star on the decor of my wedding. Forte's completely understood and got my vision from day one and on my big day. The flowers were incredible and looked like something out of a catalog. Jen is the owner of Forte and also one of the owners at Gray Gables my wedding venue. She helped me translate my vision into a reality, Not only did she take the time to explain the different flowers to me. She also made sure the colors of the flowers truly looked seamless together. I am still having people tell me how beautiful the flowers were at the wedding. More...

We had a beautiful and very creative arrangement delivered,  and the ceramic vase unfortunately broke. Even though this wasn't the fault of forte flowers at all - it was more of a manufacturing defect - they gave us a new vase filed with beautiful flowers. My wife was overjoyed. I'm in debt to them for going so far above and beyond what was expected. I know with forte I'll always have the very best quality and it's been a lifesaver having such an outstanding flower store so close to home. Highly recommended! More...

You know how you see those other brides and they look so beautiful and you are plain in real life and you think I'll never look that good? Ok, that was me. I met with Forte to pick our bouquets and it was fun and easy. The day of our wedding came and Forte dropped off my bouquet and it was PERFECT...everything I'd hoped for.

And then...the photos came back and WOW. Ok, my dress was nice, it's true, and I'd spent extra time on hair and makeup. But the flowers against the white dress...I looked STUNNING. And I think it was the flowers. And maybe the look in my eyes. But really...the flowers. Forte is awesome.

Forte did a great job with my small budget for my wedding. They were very helpful to me in figuring out exactly what flowers I needed to get the vision I wanted.

On the day of, I'd say the flowers were 99% what I wanted. My bouquet was not quite what I had asked for but I didn't feel the need to complain and ask for a redo since it looked beautiful anyway. I had wanted more a free form, trailing bouquet and not your standard nosegay which is what I ended up with. My mom helped out with adding some ribbons to the stems.

I saw Forte' Floral Artistry's flowers on stage at the 2014 Portland Bridal Show and knew immediately that I wanted to book them for my July wedding! They were unique but stylish, simple, yet stunning! We met with Jennifer and described what we wanted. She had no trouble understanding our vision. The only flowers we had in our wedding were the flowers that people carried, so I splurged a little bit and spent a little more than I was expecting. But I was speechless when I saw my bouquet! It was exactly as I imagined...exactly! Right down to how the twine was tied. And, a week later, my bouquet is still beautiful! More...

Jennifer was amazing to work with. She did the flowers for my sisters wedding 2 years ago and they were beautiful, so when I was planning my wedding, it was a no brainer to go with Jennifer for our special day. I met with her twice before the wedding and she was full of great ideas. The first time we met, she understood the look and feel we were going for and had great suggestions for our ceremony and reception rooms.

Jennifer was extremely responsive and was able to tweak the vision we discussed to fit our budget. She made the ceremony room sparkle with flowers and candles that made for a romantic vibe. The flowers at the tables at the reception were modern and creative- nothing like I have seen at other weddings. Jennifer was able to make our vision come to life, all at a completely reasonable price. The bridesmaid bouquets, bridal bouquet and groomsmen flowers were all perfect. Overall, I would highly recommend Jennifer for anyone looking for a florist who is creative, reasonably priced and of amazing quality. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Aside from the occasion itself, the flowers were the part of my wedding which I cared about the most and so I was very careful in choosing our florist. I really wanted complexity, striking color combinations, and unique designs in the floral arrangements, not just “balls of flowers”.
