I cannot say enough good things about Nicole and her team! She was the only vendor we met with that was completely transparent with her pricing, and for my first zoom call with her she put together a slide deck with some sample flower arrangements based on a conversation we had over the phone. I was absolutely blown away by the service ad execution and really can't recommend her enough!

It was perfect from bouquets to each centerpiece and our arch. I came to Sandy without a true vision of florals and had no idea what I was doing. She turned my mismatched thoughts into perfection and a dream come true. I had the centerpieces repurposed into bouquets for guests to take home & everyone absolutely loved that they were able to take some of the gorgeous flowers home with them. It was beautiful and perfect but it would not have been that way without our florals from Pedestals!! 2 weeks later and people are STILL telling us they were the most beautiful florals at a wedding!!!

    I highly recommend Kat to everyone! After looking on her Instagram I immediately knew I wanted her to make my bridal bouquet. I was so surprised at how well priced she was and when it came time for pick up I got way more flowers than I expected. On the day before our arranged pick up my grandmother got sick and was in the hospital. I asked Kat if there was anyway I could pick up the flowers a little earlier so i could go see my grandma. I was amazed when she texted me at 5 AM and she had finished the flowers. Not only is she talented but she's also a very good person. I can't thank her enough for being so accommodating and so kind.

    • Serves Hicksville, 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.

    We can't recommend Aster & Fir highly enough! From our first conversation with Alexandra, we knew we were in amazing hands. Alexandra has a unique style and understood our vision from day one. We had several special circumstances and she handled each with grace and an amazing collaborative attitude. During our walk through she helped us think through creative solutions and shared so many wonderful ideas for the event. Our guests have been raving about the florals -- from a truly beautiful chuppah that incorporated a family chuppah cover, to table arrangements that were vibrant and elegant, and so many other details throughout the night. The florals were a huge highlight of the night for us, and Alexandra's warmth made this the easiest part of our wedding planning process.

    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.

Each design is thoughtfully curated to create a cohesive, elevated look from ceremony to reception.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    We rented flowers through Something Borrowed Blooms and went with the Jane collection. Flowers were lower on our tier of priorities, so this worked well for us. It was easy to book, rent, and send them back. The one downside was that they changed what the collection looked like between when I booked the flowers and when I received them, and there was no option to go back to the original. They changed the bridesmaids’ flowers to be more floral, when I chose the Jane collection due to the greenery. As flowers weren’t specifically important to me, this wasn’t that big of a deal, but it didn’t feel great to not be able to get what we originally wanted and paid for. After reaching out to them about this issue, we did get a 50% discount on the bridesmaid flowers.

    In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! 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.

They walked us through the process seamlessly and the quality of their work was excellent. The bouquets, boutonnières, garlands with clip on flowers, and centerpieces had an authentic, natural look despite being faux flowers. Pricing is transparent and affordable, making it an easy decision to choose Faux Bouquets. The bright spring colors in the Garden Vibrance collection were beautiful, annd a perfect fit for our late May wedding. The order arrived with ample lead time prior to the wedding day. Additionally, the packaging was excellent, and their return shipment process is very simple and easy to follow. We highly recommend The Faux Bouquets to any couple planning their wedding.

    Working with Jen for our October 2025 wedding was AMAZING!! From the moment we sent in an online inquiry, Jen was attentive, responsive, thoughtful, and incredibly detail oriented. She got us set up with a project planning doc immediately, and she was SO patient with us even when we were annoyingly indecisive about our vision lol. She met with us via Zoom to answer all of our questions when we were struggling to finish the document (and she is just as thorough and helpful via Zoom as she is via email). Once we placed our final order, Jen was communicative and thorough about the process of what happened next in terms of pickup, payment, etc. When we picked up our flowers, we were ASTOUNDED by how beautiful they were. I mean, we knew they would be beautiful, but truly, WOW. Aside from bouquets & boutonnieres, we also got garlands to use as centerpieces for our guests’ farmhouse tables, as well as small wooden circle magnets with a flower on top (we wood burned the j c into them ourselves) to use as favors. And they all looked incredible. An employee at our venue said that our decor was “the best she’s ever seen this place look,” and a large part of our decor was these flowers. I cannot recommend Jen and Wood and Word Blooms ENOUGH!!! PS bouquet photo is from today (1/5/26)!! The longevity is insane!

    Working with Lorrie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She is supportive, down-to-earth, incredibly responsive, and a true professional, which is exactly what you want in a vendor while navigating such a stressful process. I’m not well-versed with flowers by any means, so we spent time on a call reviewing inspiration photos and talking through my vision. Not only did Lorrie take my vision and run with it, but she exceeded my expectations in every way. We didn’t allocate a large budget for florals, as we wanted the scenic backdrop to shine, and we were so appreciative of how thoughtfully Lorrie made the most of what we had. Our venue, which was a rooftop bar with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ESB and Times Square, was already stunning, yet she somehow elevated it even further. There are not enough words to describe how ecstatic we were with the floral arrangements and altar decor. To Lorrie and her team, we are so grateful to have worked with you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    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.
