Where to even begin…Lisa and her staff at Central Florist went about and beyond for my December wedding in the Poconos. Even though the wedding was 3 hours away from the shop, she made sure every detail was perfect. From the first consultation to the day of the event, the professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were beyond our expectations. When we first went to the consultation, I wasn’t sure of what I was looking for, I just knew that I didn’t want the ordinary centerpiece. When given my color scheme and vibe for the wedding, Lisa created a gorgeous geometrical centerpiece that I have never seen before. She created a beautiful live flower wall for our Photo Booth backdrop as well. She not only handled our floral arrangements, but did our dessert table as well. Lisa and her staff seamlessly handled the distance and logistics, making everything feel effortless on our end. My guests are still talking about how beautiful the flowers were! If you are looking for a florist who makes you feel like her priority then look no further. Lisa at Central Florist is the one to choose and I will continue to use her for all future events.

    JACK & ROSE FLORIST AND DECORATORS

    • Starts at $4,995
    • Serves Hicksville, NY

    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,

    Jack & Rose Florist and Decorators did an amazing job with the flowers and decor for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was always timely, kind, and clear - they responded quickly to emails and were very patient in answering all of my questions. The quality of their floral arrangements was just beautiful and thorough in every detail. They created gorgeous bouquets and boutonnieres for our wedding party that perfectly matched our color scheme. The memorial flowers placed in honor of our parents were crafted with care and looked lovely. The ceremony decor was simply stunning as well - they transformed our venue with floral arrangements and candles for a romantic ambiance that contributed so much warmth and beauty to our special day. We were thrilled with their services and would highly recommend Jack & Rose!

    • Starts at $5,000
    • 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.

    Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

    • Starts at $350
    • Serves Hicksville, NY

    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.

    This is my second experience with Flower Moxie, and it was just as good if not better than the first time around. I did the flowers for my friends’ kids’ weddings and used Flower Moxie as our primary source, especially for the more unusual flowers. We used another source for some of the filler flowers that was very inexpensive (starts with a C and ends with an o…) and the flowers were inexpensive and plentiful, but not as exciting as the ones available here, the quality was not the same, but the biggest difference is the customer service. We had a few issues with the flowers (I think it would be surprising not to, based on how many and what kind we ordered), and Alexa, Luis, and Mariale were AMAZING with their immediate and helpful support. They rushed out replacements that were perfect, and worked with us to make sure we were 100% happy with everything. Huge shout out to their team - it is very stressful in the days leading up to the big event, and they took a big weight off. If you are unsure about what to get, I highly recommend going with their packages based on color — their recommendations for flowers and amounts are spot on. The videos showing you how to build everything are incredibly helpful and delightfully snarky. I highly recommend!!

    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!

    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.
