    Sara was the first florist vendor we sat with and knew she was perfect! She was friendly and professional and gave us honest opinions and advice. We knew right away that she understood our vision and could see her excitement to work with us. She was there to answer any questions we had and made planning this part of the wedding a breeze! Gala did an extraordinary job with our flowers, I am still in awe over my bridal bouquet. We got married on December 22, 2016 and some of the luscious white pointsettia plants are still alive! Sara helped us to decorate the arch in for our ceremony and saved the day when our venue accidentally broke a centerpiece. Her and her team created and delivered a new one to the venue with time to spare, making sure the reception was perfect! This is a testimant to their dedication and professionalism. Since the wedding, I have also used Gala for showers and will continue to use Gala in the future. A big thank you to them for making our day so beautiful and special.

    Gala florist is simply amazing. Sarah is able to work with you when you are on a budget and the flowers still come out amazing. She also did the decorations for the gazebo since it was an outside wedding and due to the weather she waited until the last minute possible to see if it was being held outside so she knew how to decorate. If it was going to be inside she was already to set up in there.

    Sara and her team did an amazing job at my wedding. I gave Sara some guidance but I knew she was the professional and let her run with it and she truly exceeded my expectations. The chuppah and center pieces came out beautiful. Sara was extremely reasonable and worked within my budget. I would highly, highly recommend Gala Florist for your next wedding.

    Sara and her team did an amazing job with the flowers for our recent wedding. They showed up on time and everything was perfect. The baby's breath assortment for
    Our mason jars was even more full and beautiful than I could have imagined. Everything was perfect!!

    Sara and her crew were incredible from day one. I met Sara at a local bridal show. When I described what I was looking for in my flowers, she understood me perfectly. My wedding was Independence Day weekend, Sarah put together a great arrangement of red, white and blue flowers that carried the hint of patriotism, but weren't too extreme. She understood my desire for simple. When the day came, the flowers were gorgeous. Along with my flowers for the church and reception, I requested a wreath made of silk flowers for the church, as a keepsake for the day. What Gala Florist produced was BEAUTIFUL. I couldn't have been happier with everything Gala produced!

    Before I started to plan my wedding, I knew that flowers would be a big part of the day. I was referred to The Flower Cart by a friend who had also used them for her wedding. Throughout the entire process, Sara was super friendly, flexible and open to all my ideas. I wanted my flowers to be simple yet vibrant and she certainly delivered. My bouquet was stunning and the centerpieces were perfect. My favorite part were the flowers along the aisle at the ceremony. They were so much that I am just amazed when I look at the pictures. I highly recommend The Flower Cart and want flowers in my house all the time now!

    Beautiful flowers that lasted well past the wedding. At the consultation, I gave all my ideas and the owner worked with me to still give me the look I wanted but at the price I wanted (my original look was way out of my budget). The end result was gorgeous! The owner also put in some special, personal touches for me in memory of a loved one...she was very thoughtful. She has a lot of experience and would definitely use this florist again.

    The flowers for me was the scariest part of the planning process because I had no idea about flowers. When I met Sarah at the Flower Cart she was so amazing. She understood my vision exactly of what I wanted. Sarah was fast with responding to all of my questions and she did an absolute amazing job with all of my flowers. I totally recommend her to everyone!

    Sara from the moment I met her, was just amazing. Its hard to meet genuine businesswomen when you are a bride and groom. Almost everyone we met were just trying to squeeze us for more money or trying to up-sell us something we didnt need. Sara was honest, genuine and sweet from the beginning. She worked with our budget and made our reception centerpieces look beautiful! She was so flexible, meeting whenever we needed to and incorporating last minute changes. She also worked so well with us to incorporate our 'spice theme' for our indian wedding and was there to oversee it all on the wedding day! Even the photographer LOVED my bouquet and asked where I had gotten it from. We loved working with Sarah and would recommend her and her business without any hesitation! She was one of our favorite vendors!

    Sara and her team at the Flower Cart in Fair Lawn are what MADE my wedding as wonderful, memorable and beautiful as it was. My husband and I had a specific theme that we wanted for our Halloween 2010 wedding and Sara worked relentlessly to make our vision come to life. She listened carefully to our ideas and used her expertise to add to them and make everything bigger and better.

    We were also not an easy wedding to put together. She met with us numerous times...at exclusive wedding-supply stores (she had access) and at our reception hall (Bretton Woods) to meet with the manager there and help us figure out how the day would look.

    She and her team rented a truck to haul my years-worth collection of Halloween decor up to Bretton Woods and got there super early the morning of our wedding to display everything beautifully throughout the place. Sara went above and beyond to craft our ceremony space, cocktail hour rooms, and reception tables and centerpieces into something I could only imagine. The flowers were out of this world and everything was done with such attention to detail and precision. Any more questions please message me... I highly recommend Sara and her team at The Flower Cart in Fair Lawn!!!

    Sara did such a fantastic job for our wedding! I cannot rave enough about our flowers! And I'm not even a huge flower person! But I loved my bouquet so, so much! She knew exactly what I wanted (even though I wasn't even sure!) - something fun with texture and popped with the colors of our wedding! It was really just perfect!! Sara dropped off the flowers too and was super flexible and easy to work with! Can't speak highly enough of her and her work!!

    Not only was Sara, the owner and her staff, all five stars above but also made you felt like you were #1 on her list to get things done, her knowledge of information for problem solving was amazing!! She was wonderful and really was amazing as well as her staff, her work is was spectacular, you don't have to go to florist on 5th Ave or in Ridgewood for level of service and work, she was right up there if not better because they were so personable! Thank you Sara you made me stay sane and made our day remarkably memorable. Thank you . Ana and Chris

    Sara was absolutely fabulous! From the get go she guided me in determining center pieces and pricing. She worked with my budget and was very receptive to my several findings of new ideas. Highly recommend her and her team. They were very organized and pleasant to work with!!!!

    I enjoyed my experience working with Gala Florist, but was disappointed when my flowers arrived on my wedding day. I expressed that my wedding colors were dark (wine, burgundy, reds) and fuscia/magenta flowers arrived. When my bridal bouquet was delivered my jaw dropped. They were again, fuscia... pretty much bright purple with peach accents. My bridesmaids bouquets were fine, mostly white, which was what I wanted. I went to my meetings prepared with photos and swatches, but what came for the bridal bouquet was not what I expected at all. One of my bridesmaids ran out to the person who delivered the flowers to ask her to fix this... the bouquet needed to be darker. She came rushing back up, pulled some darker flowers from the car, and added some darker colors to my bouquet. I appreciate her willingness to try to solve the problem on the spot. She apologized and acted very professionally. For the centerpieces, I expected them to be a bit fuller. I had garland across the tables, but the flowers looked cheap and were quite flat.

    I love the staff at Gala, and really found them to be nice people, I was just disappointed when the arrangements weren't anything like the photos I showed.
