Meet the team behind the blooms.
Rooted in connection and crafted with precision, our work blends bold creativity with seamless execution—so you feel confident in the vision, supported in the process, and wowed by the results.
We don’t just
design florals—
we create atmospheres
you can feel.
We started Garden in the Pines the way many of our couples begin planning—with a vision, a lot of heart, and a desire to make it feel like us.
What began as a backyard garden has grown into a trusted floral design and production studio serving couples across the tri-state area. And through it all, we’ve remained a family-run business—building something beautiful not just for our clients, but for our kids, too.
Because we know how much these moments matter. We’ve been in your shoes, and we believe your wedding should feel personal, thoughtful, and deeply cared for. That’s why we approach every design with intention—and every client like family.
With a blend of creativity and precision, we take time to understand your story and support your vision—so you can feel confident that everything is in place and unfolding exactly as it should.
our story
I actually had put a deposit down with another florist that was pushy and then cancelled them because I wanted someone who would listen, make me feel comfortable, and that I could trust.
I honestly can’t rate GITP any more highly. Your search for a florist should absolutely stop here, CHOOSE GARDEN IN THE PINES!
-Allison + Drew
Words can't express how incredibly grateful we are to have had Garden in the Pines as our florist for our wedding at the Bay Head Yacht Club.
