I've walked past this store for over a decade now and never went in. It took my friend saying he wanted to get a plant for me to finally walk and see what it was all about. It's very cute and quaint. There are special occasion flowers as well as mini to full-size plants. While they are not super expensive, they are not super inexpensive either. So they're moderately priced. I plan on returning to get a cool looking succulent. My friend ended up buying a succulent that he wanted in a different pot so the staff person repotted it for him. The best way to describe this place is an escape oasis from the hustle and bustle of Forbes Avenue. It's quiet, it's friendly and it's peaceful. More...

Gidas Flowers was an incredible vendor to work with for our October wedding. We initially booked Gidas without an in-person consultation as we live out of state – a simple phone call and browse through their wedding gallery and we knew they were the right vendor for us. At our consultations, it felt like Jason and Laurie read my mind when they created a sample bouquet and centerpiece that was exactly what I was hoping for. In addition to the beautiful bouquets, Gidas created simple, elegant centerpieces for our reception, and an incredible floral installation to decorate the arch used for our outdoor ceremony. We couldn’t recommend Gidas enough. More...

Laurie was so wonderful to work with. I knew nothing about flowers when I walked into their shop, but I felt very confident in them when I left. I had met with other florists, and none of them made me feel as comfortable as this one. Laurie spent time meeting with us, pulling samples of flowers so we could visualize exactly what we were getting. This is a family business, and it shows. Laurie even went the extra mile to meet with me a 2nd time closer to the wedding, attach a charm (a gift with photos of my late grandparents) to my bouquet, and help us choose the little details, like the perfect ribbon for the corsages. They did not push any purchases on us that weren't necessary and helped us stay within a reasonable price. More...

Gidas was amazing to work with and my flowers were gorgeous!! I came to Jason and Laurie without a real vision of flowers in mind, but through simple conversation of options, Jason created a beautiful proposal of classic cream roses and more! The team was punctual, responsive, and involved. I loved our arrangements of flowers and received an array of compliments! Thank you Gidas for the most beautiful flowers I didn't even realize I was envisioning for my day!! More...

Gidas did a great job finding, and using our chosen flowers. They had great ideas we would have never thought of, and did a fantastic job on our dog's collar (she was our flower girl).

Asked for a custom bouquet with vase (for a patient at UPMC Presbyterian nearby) featuring white lilies, set the price I was willing to spend, paid, waited under 15 minutes. .. very nice result. Knowing how expensive flowers can be, I think it was decent value for money. Walked uphill carrying it, fortunately didn't trip, gave it to the patient. Seems a good place to go in this situation: I believe that the hospital gift shop has flowers but certainly not the variety or custom arrangements. More...

Gidas was the first vendor I hired, they were recommended by our venue.

When we had our first conversation to plan, I felt sorry for the consultant. I was pressed into getting flowers by my family. I have never been interested in cut flowers or a bouquet, but my mother got really sad when I said I didn't want flowers so... the venue suggested Gidas.

At our first meeting, the consultant was energetic and happy, she didn't know that I didn't have any particular feelings about flowers. I was honest and told her. She was surprised, but very professional about it. She asked me many questions to elicit what types of flowers I would like. She guided me towards understanding my options for decor. She knew my venue well and guided me to minimalist centerpieces (apparently there is an actual name for the type of decorations I like?) that would appease my family, and not intimidate me.

This conversation with a Gidas consultant helped me realize that I needed a more solid plan for wedding planning. Her questions helped me ask questions of other vendors and organize the wedding party.

As I continued wedding planning, I gradually learned more about decorations and developed a more clear idea of the flowers I would like. I contacted Gidas and they incorporated my ideas.

Gidas, and specifically, Laurie was absolutely wonderful to work with for my wedding. I didn't have a precise vision of what I wanted for my wedding flowers, but at our initial meeting, Laurie helped guide me based on pictures I found on Pinterest and photos of the venue. When it came time for the mock up, it wasn't quite what we had envisioned, and on the spot she fixed it and made it perfect! It just goes to show how much she understood my vision and her desire to get it right. Throughout the process they were very communicative with me and with my wedding planners. The flowers at my wedding were show stopping, and I am so, so glad I chose Gidas! More...

I am SO happy I went with Gidas Flowers. They were a great team to work with and were very affordable and really worked with me on keeping the costs to fit into my budget while also answering all my questions (which were a lot! !)… They gave me ideas on their own while totally doing what I asked. Between my mother and I we could be kinda bossy at times (I was a bride who knew what she wanted!) and they totally worked with us and were so nice and cooperative. Very responsive and I do not have one single complaint. They did a fabulous job. Thank you so much!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5vhOXpcq-I to check out our wedding video which shoes the reception beautifully.

We used Gidas for our June wedding and they were awesome! Our ceremony was at Heinz Chapel and since they are familiar with the venue, the flowers were ready to go for us when we arrived at the Chapel. During planning, we had an appointment to see the sample centerpiece for the reception and they had made a few changes to what we talked about during the consultation and I was so happy because they made additions that I was going to suggest myself. My fiancé was also particular about the boutonnieres and didn't want large flowers and they put together some eucalyptus and wax flowers and it made both of us happy. Would definitely recommend because the flowers were beautiful and the staff was so pleasant to work with. More...

While their range of offerings and work was incredibly broad (such a plus!), they were able to perfectly pinpoint and provide suggestions to match our aesthetic and give us the clean, classic and elegant look we were going for. Coming from someone like me who is obsessed with flowers, I can say these were the most gorgeous wedding arrangements I have ever seen! And an added bonus, almost two weeks after my wedding, I still have my bridesmaids rose bouquets in water and they are look just about as perfect as they did the day of.

My sister is undergoing treatments at UPMC and has been staying at Family House so I was very happy to stumble upon the daily specials at Gida's. There were  times I was able to hand-deliver flowers to the staff at Family House, University place as a thank you for their selfless volunteerism. At other times I was able to grab a few flowers for my sister to cheer up her day. I was able to do this because of the reasonable prices at Gida's. Of note also was Gida's  staff who always make my selections look beautiful and wrapped them well. Today I looked at their website because I was home in Philadelphia and wanted to send something to my sister. The selection I picked was delivered to her looking fresh and beautiful.( see my pic) Once University was in session they had specials for university students.

Working with Gidas for my wedding flowers was such a relief after having less than positive experiences trying to get quotes from other florists. I spoke with Maria, who was incredibly organized and professional. I did not have very specific ideas about what kinds of arrangements or bouquets I wanted for my wedding, only vague notions, because I just do not know very much about flowers.  Maria and I exchanged emails and met over Skype. She had several proposals and explained them all to me in detail.  She was willing to work within my budget and made several suggestions to "trim the fat" and make sure we got the highest quality product and the most essential items.  On the day of the wedding, all flowers were delivered to the ceremony and reception spaces in perfect condition. I got many compliments about our beautiful flowers. Then they arranged to pick up the few items we rented from them the Monday after.  I thought the final price was incredibly reasonable, especially given the impressive level of service they provided. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to any of my friends who are getting married. Very grateful to this company. More...

Gidas did an amazing job with all of our flowers. We used them for our wedding day and could not be happier. We initially had family health issues arise so we put wedding planning on hold (even though we only had a few months left) they stayed in contact and reached out to me as I had a lot going on. If it weren't for them staying in contact we wouldn't have had a florist and by some miracle they still had our wedding date available. I would not recommend waiting as they do a great job and book up fast. I changed my mind from the initial meeting months prior and did so right before the final payment. They were more than accommodating. My bouquet changed as well as the bridesmaids to entirely different flowers as well as centerpieces. On the wedding day I was so nervous since I had not seen a sample because I changed everything but I was amazed my bouquet was stunning and exactly what I wanted! The centerpieces were beautiful and really fit for our venue and reflected our style perfectly. They also did the floral arrangements for the aisle. The most amazing part besides them arriving on time and working with wedding coordinator to get everything where it needed to be was that the flowers were perfect (did not wilt out in the sun or brown and the next morning when we went to cleanup they were all still in perfect condition including centerpieces that were left in a barn overnight in middle of summer. That shows you the quality of flowers they use. I would recommend them to anyone that wants professional people that will make floral arrangements exactly like how they want and communicate with them throughout the process. More...

The Gidases have been longtime friends of my parents, and when it came time to plan the arrangements for our wedding, there was no questions that we would go with them! Both of my sisters had their flowers done by Gidas, and they have always done such an amazing job.

Our initial meeting was with Jason. We came with pictures of types of flowers that we liked (including succulents) and ideas of color schemes. Jason was able to find flowers that complimented those that we liked, and really arranged some beautiful pieces. A few weeks before the wedding, we met back up with Jason to go over an actual piece, and it looked even better than we imagined. The team at Gidas did a wonderful job getting all of the pieces just right. They worked with our venue to set up delivery and everything was managed very well. The whole team was professional and amazing. We would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the Pittsburgh area.
