Planning perspective

What to consider before reaching out

A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.

For a florals partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Emslies always goes above and beyond. The arrangements are stunning, reasonably priced, and made with so much attention to detail. Ordering was easy and delivery was seamless. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for flowers!!!! Thank you!!!

Emslie Florist & Gifts was wonderful to work with! They took my ideas and created a bouquet that was even more beautiful than I imagined. Throughout the process, they were kind, encouraging, and easy to communicate with. I was amazed by how organized they were on our wedding day—I never would have guessed they were managing multiple deliveries because they were right on time and kept us updated every step of the way. We couldn't have been happier with the flowers and the service!

My husband and I were in the area for the week and stepped into Emslie's on a whim. What a lovely store! The ladies who helped us were so friendly and kind, and our whim turned into walking out with a locally-made dried flower wreath, a scarf (which I'm currently using as a fall throw), and some lovely handmade earrings. This is a wonderful source for fresh flowers, unique gifts, and just a brightening of your day.

I can't recommend Emslie's enough! We purchased bulk flowers from them to use for centerpieces at our wedding this past weekend and had the best experience. The response time is fantastic, the pricing was super reasonable and Emslie's even sent me a few mockup photos so I could get a feel for what my centerpieces would look like before placing an order. Next time I need flowers, I will be going nowhere other than Emslie's!

The flowers that my daughter and her friend had for a corsage and a boutonniere were larger than anyone else's that was at the prom in New Hampshire. They had beautiful white roses. I would highly recommend them to do flowers again for any occasion and they also work with us and trying to pick up our flowers greatly appreciated for that!! It's a very cute awesome flower shop too!!
