Ive known Lisa and the team at Central Florist since I was little, so choosing them was a no brainer, as they have always DELIVERED on every order we've made. However, I can not say enough amazing things about the flowers Lisa created for my wedding. From the table runners, to our arch, the flowers for our groomsmen, bridesmaids, parents, and myself.....I was blown away. My bouquet was absolutely perfect and had all of the touches I had asked for and more. I couldn't recommend Central Florist enough, not only for the quality of the work but for the quality of the owner and employees. They truly made my bridal dreams come true!

I don’t even know where to begin. From the moment we had our first meeting to the very end, Nicole and the entire team were exceptional. I was a little lost with what we wanted for our wedding and even changed my mind a few times but Nicole and her team were patient and beyond helpful. They were just as excited as we were with the mock ups and their communication and guidance is unmatched. Day of the wedding, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Everything was immaculate, even better than I could have imagined. I was moved to tears when we saw the reception area. Nicole and the team worked with us to make sure we were happy, provided us with guidance and just overall such a pleasant and amazing experience. Could not recommend them enough!

I have been a devoted customer of the Port Washington Florist for many years. Our daughter got married at the Hempstead House in the Sands Point Preserve. At the Hempstead House everything must be brought in, Jessica and her team did a remarkable job.

To this day when we see people that attended the wedding, they are still saying that it was the most beautiful and amazing wedding ever.

A wedding will not be complete in the absence of having beautifully arranged flowers. They do not only add color to the event, but they also signal the blossoming of a new life ahead of the couple. In the same way, flowers are important; it is also critical to choose the best Long Island florist to take care of the selection and arrangements. The florist has knowledge on the best wedding flowers New York to use, which will ensure making the right choice. Nonetheless, not all florists are the same in terms of the capabilities. To avoid ruining your wedding with bad flowers,

Aster & Fir 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Alden Manor, NY

Our founder, Alexandra, left her corporate 9–5 job in search of something more fulfilling. When she ‘stopped & smelled the roses’, she fell in love with flowers. As the daughter of a carpenter, she has always appreciated creating something beautiful with her own hands. She loves capturing each client's unique ideas in her custom designs, bringing their special day to life with her arrangements. Alexandra lives in Astoria with her husband, John, and her cat, Piper, and she never met a rosé she didn’t like.

I knew that booking Alexandra and Aster & Fir was the right move from the moment I laid my eyes on centerpieces created for a friend's bridal shower! The unique floral choices and gorgeous color palette blew me away. I knew immediately that I HAD to have Alexandra and her team design my wedding florals. Working with Alexandra was so easy. She was very responsive and able to decipher my style and vision using the hodgepodge of images I kept adding to my Pinterest board. I knew I was going to love my florals, but nothing prepared me for the beautiful centerpieces, chuppah, and bouquets I recieved. I was blown away by the attention to detail and eye for such stunning flowers. My mother who is an avid gardener and flower snob was in awe of the floral arrangements. She was also moved by Alexandra’s thoughtfulness in adding touches of marigolds throughout centerpieces. I had forgotten to mention the cultural importance of marigolds for my family, but Alexandra had done her research and included them beautifully. It was such an amazing touch and just spoke volumes of how detail-oriented and thoughtful the team at Aster & Fir is. I also loved how flexible Alexandra was. I asked for some last-minute changes and wanted to reuse my florals for brunch the next morning and she was more than happy to accommodate my requests. Not only did I have stunning florals for my reception; but brunch was also transformed by Aster & fir’s stunning creations! Once I finally announced that guests could take home florals, people were scrambling to grab centerpieces and arrangements haha. I received so many compliments on Alexandra’s creations and can’t wait to request her for future parties and celebrations!!!

We are beyond grateful to the Roga team for creating such a meaningful and beautiful setting for our wedding. From our first conversation, their attention to detail and open communication gave us confidence that we were in the best hands. They understood our vision for the chuppah not only as a centerpiece, but as a sacred space under which we began our marriage. What they designed was beyond anything we could have imagined—elegant, heartfelt, and filled with the sense of holiness that a Jewish wedding deserves. Standing beneath the chuppah they created felt deeply spiritual, honoring tradition while reflecting our personal style. Every flower throughout the day carried that same care and intention, bringing warmth and beauty to our celebration. Their artistry, professionalism, and heart made our day unforgettable, and we will cherish their work forever.

Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

I recommend 100% using flower moxie if you want to DIY your flowers. My cousin used them for her wedding and had a great experience so I decided to use for mine as well. I was worried since my wedding was on a Sunday that a Thursday delivery would have my flowers wilting by the time of the actual wedding. It was perfect. The flowers lasted so long. The recipes for the arrangements are easy to follow. Everyone loved my florals and was surprised it was DIY. I would totally use them again.

Jen is incredible and worth every penny! My husband and I weren't very sure about how we wanted our wedding florals to look. We also didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on flowers that would only last a day. We stumbled upon wood flowers and discovered Wood and Word Blooms! Working with Jen was wonderful and seamless. She helps you every step of the way to figure out what you would like. The DIY class was so much fun, and we were able to build all of our centerpieces, boutonnières, and bouquets. Jen also built my cascade bouquet and beautiful garland for us! Everything came out so beautifully and was perfect for our day. Thank you Jen!

From the very first email exchange to the final moments of our wedding day, Lorrie at Style & Vine exceeded every expectation we had. As a bride who values organization and attention to detail, I can confidently say that Lorrie is the essence of professionalism and artistry. Lorrie's communication throughout our 8-month planning process was exceptional. She was incredibly responsive, patient with our questions, and proactive in addressing potential challenges. When we needed to adjust our timeline from noon to 11:00 AM just weeks before the wedding, she graciously accommodated our request without hesitation. Working with our "white classic" theme, Lorrie created beautiful arrangements that perfectly captured our vision. Her centerpieces featuring white hydrangeas, roses, baby's breath, and stock were wonderful. The mix of large arrangements and bud vase clusters created beautiful dimension on our tables. The six chuppah arrangements on varying height pedestals were gorgeous and precisely what we had envisioned. Lorrie demonstrated remarkable flexibility when we made last-minute requests, including providing fresh flowers for our faux cake decoration at no additional cost. She suggested repurposing our chuppah arrangements for the sweetheart table, helping us stay within budget while maintaining the elegant aesthetic we wanted. Her ability to incorporate the bud vases and flameless votives we provided showed her collaborative spirit and creativity. On our wedding day, Lorrie arrived promptly and worked seamlessly with our wedding assistant. Her setup was flawless, and every arrangement was perfectly positioned. The personal flowers - including my bridal bouquet with white garden roses and dahlias, the matron of honor bouquet, boutonnieres, and corsages - were absolutely perfect and photo-ready for our morning family session. Lorrie provided detailed quotes, clear contracts, and transparent pricing throughout the process. She included complimentary votive candles and was upfront about all costs, with no surprise fees. Her pricing was fair for the exceptional quality and service provided. If you're looking for a florist who combines artistic talent with exceptional service, look no further than Lorrie and Style & Vine. She made our dream wedding décor a reality and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend her highly enough! Johanny & David The Juniper at Vanderbilt, Westbury, NY August 16, 2025

We had the absolute pleasure working with Isabel for our Prospect Park Boathouse wedding. We knew from the start that florals were going to play a big role in our wedding, and we wanted a specific style as well. My planner recommended Isabel and going with her was the best decision. Isabel is incredibly friendly and professional, always available to give feedback and bounce ideas off of. I gave her my inspo board and she really, truly understood my vision. The mood boards she provides also helped me convey the wedding theme with other vendors as well. I'll never forget seeing my dreams come to life in front of my eyes on our wedding day. Seeing her whole team working on making the ceremony arch and aisles ready was incredible. The tablescapes were absolutely insane- everything I could've hoped for and more.

First of all - the end product was just beautiful. Everything from the bridal bouquet to the ceremony flowers to the table styling was exquisite and super unique. Shannon did a great job incorporating my favorite color (yellow) and a whimsical, organic wildness into the design exactly as I had hoped. From our first meeting to the written proposal, Shannon interpreted my thoughts and ideas exactly. I was so impressed that she took my ramblings and half ideas and pulled them together into what I was seeing in my head. Shannon’s GORGEOUS color palette informed the entire wedding design and gave me a jumping off point for invitations, bridesmaid dresses, other decor, etc. Unfortunately, the process of working with Shannon was a bit challenging. She struggled with nailing down details: incorrect number of tables, inconsistent accounting of candles/bud vases, etc. It took a number of incorrect proposal drafts until we got it right - just weeks before the wedding. We were honestly quite disappointed by Shannon’s flexibility and communication. She self-describes as being highly collaborative, but that was not our experience. First, as beer nerds, having hops in the design was super important to us, and while she flagged early on it could be an issue to source real ones, we discussed using fake. While we all agreed that she shouldn’t use fake hops if they looked bad, we were sad to see on the day of that they didn’t make it into the design. It would have been nice to have heard a heads up from her that she didn’t plan to use them - even if it was just a brief mention on the day-of. Second, when our cake plans fell through at the last minute, we asked Shannon if she could possibly supply a few flowers for our small 6” cutting cake. She told us she would try, but later we heard from the bakery that she had given them a flat no. She never communicated her decision to us. Thankfully, the bakery pulled something together for us (shout out to Zest Pastry!). Third, the Monday before the wedding, Shannon sent an alarming email with the subject line “Head Advisory, Oh No!”, asking us what our plan was. Getting any email titled “Oh No” isn’t fun to receive less than a week before your wedding. Further, as a trusted wedding vendor, we would hope that she would have plans for weather or unexpected events rather than looking to us during a very stressful period. Lastly, (and most disappointingly) despite having a run of day schedule, Shannon was nowhere to be found when it was time to put on boutonnieres and corsages. Our photographers and party thankfully jumped in to help to avoid major delays to portraits (shout out to Katie Slater!). Fundamentally, the product Shannon provided was beyond compare - everything was beautiful. That said, the communication, coordination, and organization were lacking from our experience.
