“We had an amazing experience at Grayrock Florists. Stopped by to purchase an arrangement to take with us to a grand opening celebration and the staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating! The arrangement was gorgeous and exactly what we were looking for.”
“Miko is lovely to work with!! She is timely, kind, compassionate, and so detail-oriented. She made the planning process seamless and made my vision come to life on my wedding day! I’d recommend her to anyone for any type of event!!”
“We couldn't be happier with our experience at Bow & Rose for our wedding, thanks to Karen! From our first meeting, she actively listened to our ideas and provided invaluable feedback without ever trying to change our vision. Her kindness and genuine care for our special day truly set her apart.
Karen executed our floral vision perfectly—it's as if she copied and pasted what was in our minds and brought it to life beautifully. We are incredibly grateful for her talent and dedication. We will forever sing her praises and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a florist. Thank you, Karen, for making our wedding day so unforgettable!”
“Mani was absolutely wonderful to work with. He put together gorgeous centerpieces for our daughter's baptism that I could not have been more happy with. With only a few conversations about what I was looking for, he was able to create pieces even more perfect that I could have described. Such a perfect combination of colors and textures -- everyone commented on the stunning flowers and wanted to bring them home! He went above and beyond my expectations and I cannot wait to work with him again. Highly recommend!!”
“J.R. Florist provided the flowers for the wakes of both my in-laws. The florist listened to my preferences and created floral displays that were exactly what I wanted. The arrangements were GORGEOUS and many of the guests commented on how beautiful the flowers were. The prices were much less than the other florists that the funeral home suggested. I highly recommend J.R. Florist!!”
“We worked with Monica Chimes for our Oct '24 wedding. I really wish I could give 5 stars because they were absolutely amazing leading up to our wedding. They were responsive, accommodating, & went above & beyond during the planning process. However, on the actual day, a few key mistakes were made that impacted our experience.
Ultimately, the root cause of the day of mishaps stemmed from lack of communication & coordination between our planner & MC. We will place the majority of the blame on our planner, however some accountability does fall on MC. Our planner communicated the timelines via a platform called “Timeline Genius” & while the MC team answered our planner’s other questions, they ultimately didn’t confirm the timeline. This lack of confirmation & lack of follow-up is an oversight by our planner. But essentially, the team didn’t arrive until 1 hour after the time we thought they were arriving. By the time the flowers arrived, delays was already well underway.
The most important floral arrangement was my bouquet with my late father’s tie wrapped around it so he could "walk" me down the aisle, & unfortunately the tie was left behind. The team worked to remediate this quickly & retrieved the tie from the shop & delivered it to the wedding about 1 hr before our ceremony, which I truly appreciate. Additionally, the tie was wrapped differently than expected. We learned after the wedding that this was due to the size/shape of the actual bouquet. No issues here overall, but a head’s up would have been nice.
Our altar arrangements also looked different than expected. We learned this was due to flower availability & the team had to take creative license for a replacement. The team is skilled &I understand the need for creative license, but it was surprising to see vibrant orange at the altar when our aesthetic was muted. Communication of this before the event would have been appreciated.
Another source of miscommunication was repurposing the bridesmaids bouquets to the sweetheart table. This was something discussed with MC early on, but we later learned they expected our planner to do this. We were able to make the change ourselves but again, it’s clear more communication was needed between MC & our planner.
Now onto the things we loved about working with MC:
They are extremely collaborative about working with you on a color palette as well as which types of flowers fit in your budget. They never hesitated to hop on a phone call if you had any changes or questions.
Their contract was the easiest vendor contract to read out of all of the vendors we worked with. It listed the types of florals, arrangements, locations of arrangements, colors, etc. Essentially, their contract embedded the setup instructions for the day of. This made it so easy for us to read, understand, & double check. I truly cannot emphasize enough how fantastic their contract system is. We loved it!
They offer a table mockup at their location in West Harrison. This is a huge benefit & allows you to really see what the centerpieces will look like, & they were collaborative in exploring alterations.
They know the NYBG extremely well. We sourced all of our candles through them & they immediately knew how many windowsills the venue had.
Ultimately, I would work with MC again. I would be sure to have a final meeting with them the week of/a few days before the wedding to make sure nothing is missed & not rely on a planner to have those conversations.”
“Our photo and video team worked with Forever in Bloom on August 31st at Pier Sixty and highly recommend their work! They not only created the most beautiful & vibrant arrangements successfully capturing the bride's vision for the day, but their team worked so smoothly alongside all of the other vendors as we moved from one location to the next in the NYC area. From the simple yet stunning bouquets to the ceremony and reception florals; we had the best time capturing content of their floral designs.

“The staff at Mr. Bokay (pronounced bouquet) was amazing! I placed a phone order for a funeral spray because I couldn't find any suitable arrangements online, which could accommodate Chinese traditions. I kid you not, Mr Bokay's flowers went above and beyond my expectations! He included all the Chinese must haves, chrysanthemums and lillies in hues of yellow and white. He even added the traditional ribbons capturing the names of our dearly departed and of the donors. Mr Bokay followed all my instructions, down to every flower and every color! The flowers were fresh and georgeous! The arrangement would have easily cost double what I paid through those online franchises. I highly recommended! Absolutely better than what envisioned and 100% the most beautiful arrangement at the service. Thank you, Mr. Bokay!!!”
“We booked Arcadia Floral for our wedding in August! We started the process about a year in advance and came in for a consultation. We were sold at the consultation after meeting with Elena. Elena did a mock up centerpiece for us and we were in love. The day of my actual wedding I was so surprised at how beautiful everything looked. Arcadia exceeded my expectations! All of our guests had so many compliments about our floral decor. Thank you Arcadia for making my vision come to life!”
“Brianne was so wonderful to work with for our wedding! She was flexible and truly understood what we wanted. The bouquets and flowers at the church and venue were an absolute dream! She was super communicative and our big day went so smoothly! I highly recommend her as a florist!”

“Jan listens well and created the most elegant and beautiful centerpiece for the table. She also made a separate bouquet for the guest of honor who was celebrating her 90 th birthday to take home.”
“The owner and his wife are lovely and talented. I used them for my daughter’s bridal shower 2 years ago and again for her baby shower. I told them about the shower theme of the nutcracker suite in all pink and they had the amazing idea of using tulle. The flowers were fresh and so perfect. Delivery on the day of the event was prompt too. I highly recommend them!”
“Sarah was our florist for our 9/9/2023 wedding and we can't thank her enough for our beautiful flowers! Throughout the process Sarah was extremely communicative, understanding when it came to adjustments, and we enjoyed having her stay at our wedding to enjoy the party! She even made a cute Instagram reel of behind the scenes photos and videos that I appreciated so much. I would 100% recommend Sarah and her services!”
“I would highly recommend this florist shop. Last week I randomly stopped in to purchase some flowers for my mom. A friend from North Carolina sent my mom a card with some money in it to purchase either flowers or candy. She was trying to lift my mom's spirits. This was my first time in this shop. I explained to Brigida that my mom was gravely ill and that she always said, "give her flowers while she can still see them". Of course, at this point my voice was cracking and I'm starting to cry. Not only did she comfort me but she then proceeded to make the most beautiful floral arrangement for my mom that I could have imagined. We talked a bit about my mom including the fact that she liked bright colors and then Brigeda went to work. She was very deliberate in her choice selections, even sharing with me the meaning behind the name of certain flowers. It's rare today to find someone who displays such kindness, thoughtfulness and empathy in thecbusiness world. Usually, it's all about the money. I didn't find that to be the case at Colonial Village Flowers. What an awesome experience I had!! I went back to the shop today and shared with Robert, the owner, what a treasure he has in Brigida! I'm confident that whether you're buying flowers for a loved one as I did, floral arrangements for a wedding or even a funeral, you will NOT be disappointed. Thanks again for bringing a smile to my mom's face and some joy to her during this difficult time of her life. I'm so happy I stopped in your shop. It won't be the last time I can assure you of that.”
“Imagine that your very favorite Auntie had a flower shop - that's what you get here! Bobbi and Frank could not have taken better care of me. I'm down in FL and needed to just trust that they'd take great flowers to my sister. Bobbi even asked for the dimensions of the vase the flowers would be put in so she could pick the right things! Then, Frank delivered so many flowers that they filled 2 vases. Brilliant experience!”
“Mark is a true gentleman! He helped me get an arrangement together to send condolences, delivered it promptly, and worked within my budget. His approach made my day. Highly recommend!”
“Awesome shop, good vibes, quality work and creativity, friendly service and perfectly priced fresh bouquet made on the spot. Definitely will be my spot for flower needs from here on out.”
“After needing a last minute change in my order, Mary was able to make all necessary adjustments and still deliver a stunning bouquet. I don't know why anyone would consider an online florist. The arrangement she made for me was far more beautiful than any of the online florist services I've dealt with in the past. My wife absolutely loved it!”
“This was an absolute 5 ?experience. We used their flowers as a center piece for a dinner party, and the flowers made the night. We added 3 succulents which were displayed around the bouquet and each succulent was really fresh and beautiful.
everyone is so kind and helpful, friendly smiles and a great experience
really fresh flowers, beautifully designed and great quality
If you haven’t tried Greenwood Flowers yet, give them a try. I’m so happy we found them.”

“I received a beautiful, very fresh bouquet of flowers from Station Flowers in Scarsdale for my anniversary. The flowers were delicate and my favorite pastel colors. I enjoyed them for about two weeks: they looked lovely and maintained their freshness all that time. Thank you, Station Flowers! Diane F.”
“A solid place for sandwiches...and a nice variety of salads and hot foods.. AND a bonus...My wife buys all of her plants for her garden there...The people working there are always friendly and helpful....”
“Went to by flowers for my ex mother In law who was in the hospital and he was kind enough to let me know that flowers were not acceptable in ICU and he didn't want me to waste my money. This type of honesty goes such a long way, will definitely be back”
“I ordered a very specific arrangement from a different state and they were more than happy to make the arrangement perfectly. Not only did they arrange them perfectly, but they sent me pictures and let me know when they had been delivered. Super excited and very pleased with the customer service. Will use again!”
“Frank from House of Flowers was absolutely amazing! We used him for our wedding and rehearsal dinner and he truly delivered! The flowers were stunning and made our wedding look like a dream!”

“Been going here for some time now. Every time I go in I request a custom bouquet and they never disappoint. Great quality flowers as well. I've had my bouquets last weeks with changing the water and feeding them of course. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.”
“I am a mother of the groom in town for a wedding. I found S & A Florist and they helped me with Rehearsal dinner and Welcome Reception flowers for our Wedding in Tarrtytown. The flowers were beautiful and lasted and used the next day for the cocktail hour, then again the next morning after that for the send away breakfast. They went above and beyond to help me choose just the right flowers for my event. Would highly recommend. I received many compliments on the flowers”
“We used Amil Yedowitz Florist for our wedding and are so happy we did! They made 11 white rose bouquets; 14 boutonnières; and 3 wrist corsages! Everything was absolutely stunning and exactly as I envisioned for our wedding! I cannot recommend them enough!!”
