Prices are right for a local flower place. Willing to go the extra mile. Stayed open for me to get my order, work tends to keep me late.

The Gateway Florist was professional, responsive, and very easy to work with. We had an intimate ceremony and just needed flowers for the bride, groom, and parents of the bride. They were happy to accommodate our needs, and delivered the flowers for us exactly when we needed them, even calling ahead to confirm they were on the way. The flowers were stunning. Exactly what we wanted. My bouquet served as the table decorations at the restaurant for our "reception" in the vase they delivered with the order. I enjoyed my bouquet for days after. (My mom said her wrist corsage was the nicest she's seen, and she once worked in a nursery arranging flowers.) I highly recommend The Gateway Florist! More...

For five years I have ordered from Gateway and have never been disappointed. I have ordered large expensive arrangements designed to impress and I've also ordered small, inexpensive arrangements to dress-up a table. The Gateway team is creative, accommodating and always willing to go the extra mile. More...

I had tears in my eyes when I saw the beautiful basket of pansies Academy Flowers made for my dear Sorority Sister, Cindy McCain.  My task was a challenging one, to honor Cindy and let her know her sisters are were with her in spirit this Sunday. Our flower is the black and yellow pansy - not in season.  Academy Flowers produced the most perfect basket, the right size, scaled correctly and done exquisitely.  They obtained our pansies in the right colors and put together a sentimental tribute to the woman who in her own right is exceptional.  Thank you so much for a first class job More...

I loved the bouquets you provided for our daughter's wedding at the Naval Academy on Saturday!!! I have found a new rose in ranunculus. I like it so much better, actually, and the blue hydrangeas and Jasmine made it a spectacular bouquet!!

Morgan, you helped us so much with your suggestions. I never dreamed that the hydrangeas were flown in from Holland. So gorgeous!!!! And thank you, also for delivering balloons to the venue. You rock!!

Theresa, it was so wonderful to meet both of you. I won't hesitate to suggest your shop for the other two midshipman I know, that will have an opportunity to have their weddings at the academy.

Thanks so much!! You helped make it a really beautiful day for all of us

Take care, Mary H.

I am all the way in California and needed to send some flowers to my dear friend. I called thinking I might be told no since it was last minute on Valentine’s Day. I got exactly the opposite! They were so generous in helping me make this happen. I am not from MD so I was very nervous to send flowers from so far away. The flowers got to their destination way before promised and the creativity of the artist was amazing. They really saved the day! Thank you! More...

Our flowers looked beautiful on our wedding day! We worked with Caroline and she was okay to work with. I don’t know much about flowers and she wasn’t very helpful when it came to picking flowers. She didn’t use any of her resources in front of her (flower books) to help me make my decisions. There was a time when I worked with Morgan, because Caroline had a family emergency. Morgan was fantastic! She helped me visualize our rehearsal dinner centerpieces and put in her input on whether or not I should add flowers to my wedding cake. The gateway florist is amazing with what they do. I loved all my flowers I had for my wedding and I thought they were beautiful! More...

I worked with Morgan from Gateway Florist for my courthouse wedding. I showed her a picture of a bouquet I liked from Pinterest, but most of the flowers weren't in season. I was also on a really tight budget. She worked within both of those constraints to make MAGIC! My bouquet was perfect, it was better than anything I saw on Pinterest. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I don't have the pictures back yet, but once I do I'll post a few! I'm looking to get it preserved somewhere because there's no way I could ever throw this away. More...

Caroline at Gateway was amazing. I just needed a bridal bouquet and a few boutonnieres and I was STUNNED with how beautiful they turned out. I showed Caroline one picture of what I was looking for...white flowers, lots of greenery and rustic. When she initially emailed me the quote, she had a dozen dahlia's for my bouquet...I thought that was a lot, since I just wanted greenery. She re-assured me that they would be different sizes and would deliver exactly what I was looking for. What Caroline delivered was above and beyond! It was GORGEOUS. I couldn't have been happier and HIGHLY recommend Gateway. More...

I worked with the Gateway team on my wedding bouquets etc and could not have been happier! Caroline was in charge of designing my flowers and did EXACTLY what I wanted. Teresa provided oversight and was prompt to answer any question I had. I got married on a VERY VERY hot July day. We had 3 hours of pre-wedding formal photos followed by the ceremony and reception. All the flowers looked just as great as they did to begin with at the end of the night. I would highly recommend Gateway for any floral occasion! More...

Caroline, Teresa, Morgan, Matt & Emma were wonderful! We worked directly with Caroline for our wedding flowers and she was on top of everything until the very last minute to make sure everything was perfect. Our wedding was on Christmas Eve and Caroline and Morgan even delivered the flowers themselves, even on the holiday! I cannot recommend Gateway more! They are amazing, and the outcome was stunning.

The Gateway Florist did a phenomenal job creating all that I could have ever envisioned for my dream wedding; ceremony and reception! The flowers were gorgeous with eye popping colors and wonderful design. We met with Gateway to go over our choices and that was it, full execution without any hiccups along the way. We didn't have to worry about a thing, they were professional and very responsive. We were married 2 weeks ago and my bouquet is still looking as beautiful and fresh as ever on my kitchen countertop. The reception centerpieces were the talk of the party. An innovative and eclectic approach made all the difference to what typically would be your “run-of-the-mill” centerpiece choice. Their talent sparked some appreciated conversation. Every girl wants their guests to remember their special day and refer to it with positive feedback, well I got it!….I need to thank The Gateway Florist for that! More...

They offered to go above and beyond for me! I had ordered from a place online and they couldn't come through -- so I called here in a panic. The owner offered to deliver the flowers to my destination last minute on his way home - and Natalie went into the case and took pictures of the arrangements they had on hand and texted them all to me. I thought their customer service was stellar and I was very, very happy. Although I didn't get an arrangement, I will go to them for my next delivery.

My dad recently passed away and we needed to quickly organize a celebration of life and reception. With little time to accomplish the task at hand, I called Gateway to help organize the floral needs for both the church and the reception following. They could not have been more accommodating. They sent folks to the church to look at the design needs, delivered to the church the morning of the service, set up, brought flowers following to the reception and took other flowers we donated to the local hospital. The owner's husband Mark was professional, caring and compassionate. He truly went above and beyond. The floral arrangements Gateway provided were absolutely beautiful and we could not have been more pleased. It was a perfect tribute to my Dad. Thank you for helping put things in place so we could focus on family.PS: veteran friendly - this is a proud American family-owned business with multi-generational service to our country. More...

I couldn't have been happier with my flowers from Gateway Florist. Most florists in the area would not take smaller weddings. I was not ordering centerpieces and did not have a large bridal party so did not meet the $2000-3000 minimum of most florists in the area. Gateway was more than happy to work with me and created beautiful bouquets and altar arrangements. They really understood my modern, minimalist style. Even though I was getting married in the spring and blues were my colors, I did not want peonies and blue hydrangeas. They were able to suggest flowers that better fit my tastes and were able to follow the inspiration photos I brought. Even though mother nature did not cooperate and I couldn't get the one flower I really wanted, the arrangements were still beautiful and I couldn't have been happier. More...
