[ fLo rE sta ]

Floresta brought our wedding vision to life! Our bridal party and reception floral arrangements were perfect. I had general idea of what I wanted and Carlo knew exactly want to do. All of his suggestions for the type of flowers were so on point. I was looking for a romantic look and that's exactly what I got. His entire staff was helpful and answered all of the questions that we had. The process from start to finish was everything we could have asked for from a vendor. Ana, the manager, was so helpful and helped us feel at ease. They were flexible when we had last minute changes and worked our budget. Would definitely recommend and hire them again for future events.

The flowers created by Floresta at my wedding were simply STUNNING. My jaw dropped to the ground when I saw how they transformed the space - honestly the only word I can think of to describe the flowers was magical. From our initial consult to the final day, everyone at Floresta was great to work with, kind, and creative. I can't recommend their work enough!

We loved working with Floresta on our wedding. Carlo was so genuine and interested in our non traditional wedding ideas, and was able to pinpoint exactly what we wanted for our flowers before we asked him for anything. He came up with the most creative ideas for the reception flowers and lights. They created a gorgeous wedding vow backdrop which was turned into a photo wall for our guests after the ceremony. Carlo and the Floresta team were extremely thoughtful and a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

Out of all of our wedding vendors, Floresta was the one that I was most blown away by. I don't know much about flowers, so I wasn't sure I'd be able to explain my vision for our wedding. When we showed up for an in-person meeting at their studio, we were astounded at what Ana had put together for us as a "trial" for our centerpieces- it was 10000 times better than we could have ever explained or imagined. Ana was also easy to communicate with throughout the process and very professional. She didn't push us on budget, and helped us make decisions to stick within our range while maximizing value of what we'd get. I really appreciated their transparency on exactly what every item cost, so we could make informed decisions on what we wanted. I realized how amazing Floresta is when I arrived to our venue (the Foundry) on the day of the wedding. The chuppah was stunning, the tablescape was exactly what we'd discussed a year prior at our trial run, and they'd truly gone above and beyond with our entryway piece - I think it was twice the size of what we paid for! We were absolutely thrilled with how everything looked in person and in the photographs, and I can't imagine if we had worked with any other florist. Thank you Ana and Carlo!!

fLo rE sta was absolutely outstanding. They were a dream to work with. From the very first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. They worked within our budget to create beautiful, creative and elegant arrangements that our guests raved about. Even our venue coordinator said the way they set things up was the best he had ever seen. Would absolutely recommend booking with them-- you will not regret it!!

We hired Floresta for our wedding at MyMoon this past August, and had a delightful experience through and through! Carlo is a true artist and an incredible human. He took us out for coffee and a two-hour planning meeting when we first met, and put together an incredible vision for our wedding day based on just a few inspiration photos, his extensive experience with our venue, and his gut feeling about our personalities as a couple. Once we signed the contract, we worked out details with Ana via email, and she was incredibly patient and professional as I changed my mind a zillion times about the color and layout of the centerpiece arrangements. She and Carlo were both also super kind about helping us stay within our budget without sacrificing quality. The day of the wedding, the bouquets were delivered seamlessly and our venue was decorated exactly as discussed, with no day-of coordination needed on our part. Everything was simply beautiful!! Several of our guests raved about the flowers, lantern decorations, and the birdcage arrangement on our gift card table. Considering that many of our friends and family aren’t as attentive to detail as we are, it was a testament to Floresta’s talent that the aesthetic touches were so appreciated!! Book them now!

Carlo and the entire team at [ fLo rE sta ] are amazing and passionate about their work. They did the flowers for my wedding earlier this year and from start to finish they were a pleasure. Carlo's process is client driven and collaborative. At our first meeting we walked through my thoughts for the flowers and before I knew it he had envisioned all of the arrangements, just as I had hoped. And that vision became the reality on my wedding day.

I'm a loyal Floresta customer. They're, by far, the best florist in the area. I have gotten to know the staff and owner, Carlo, very well. Not only is their work impeccable but they're extremely friendly and welcoming. Of course, the moment I got engaged, I knew I wanted Floresta to be my wedding florist. The experience from beginning to end was easy and very fun. My fiancé and I met with Carlo for a consultation and the moment I described my vision, he immediately knew what I wanted. I saw his creative juices flowing and immediately came up with several ideas and options. Carlo is very experienced in weddings, so reviewed every detail, even pointing out things I wasn't considering that were really important to the decor. He was also very realistic and straight forward about price. He worked within our budget and the outcome was amazing. Carlo and his team are true artists. They executed my vision exactly and I could not be more happy with how my wedding turned out.

My daughter was married on 5.5.18 and FlorEsta did the flowers. They were gorgeous! They were easy to work with and very accommodating of all of our requests and our budget. I would definitely use them again!

Gorgeous flowers. They are always fresh and full of life. I recommend Flo re sta to everyone.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. My fiance and I worked with Cesar for our engagement party. All I had to do was show him one or two pictures and he recreated what we wanted right on the spot. The process was so quick and smooth. The day of the party Cesar and Steven (i'm sorry if I'm mistaken there was a lot going on that day) delivered the arrangements and set everything up so quickly it was stress free and absolutely stunning. Floresta does a great job at listening to what you want and producing beautiful results. I was beyond happy with the flowers and service that I am now using them for two additional parties (surprise birthday party and a baby shower.) We also met with Carlo to discuss our 2019 wedding! Carlo is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to flowers. I only had to show him one or two inspirational pictures and he immediately started naming flowers and coming up with ideas. He works with you to create two options, a beautiful but pricier option and then a more affordable one which is extremely helpful when it comes to having a budget - you can decide what is worth spending a little more money on and which items we should hold back on. All in all Floresta exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to see what they can do for our upcoming events!

Carlo is a true artist and made all of our dreams come true on our wedding day! The first meeting we had with Carlo we showed him some inspiration pictures and he immediately started naming flowers I have never heard of and paring them with unique greenery to make our imaginations become reality. He then set up a trial where we saw a couple centerpiece options and he was able to switch out flowers and colors in order to get exactly what we were looking for. Carlo is super knowledgeable about what flowers are best during certain seasons, as well as floral substitutes for things I wanted but wouldn't be in season for our wedding. Carlo and his team are beyond professional and the love for their work is noticeable. Ana is beyond organized and made all communication and meetings easy and stress-free. Carlo worked with our budget and was able to re-purpose some things from our ceremony into our reception. Carlo and his team truly made our wedding day dreams become a reality!

If i could give 10 stars i would! Carlo is beyond talented. And his staff as well! Ana was amazing :) They are very organized, they checked in with me, they were very responsive if i had any quesitons and readily available for meetings... just an all around professional and pleasant experience. Carlo met with my fiance and i after we got engaged... we talked for hours. He wanted to understand exactly what i had in mind, and he wanted to build on that idea. Im so happy i trusted him. His vision was better than i had imagined. My wedding was a fairytale, an array of white flowers in gold vases with pops of brown, green and grey. Our venue said they had never seen a more elegant wedding. And the flowers were much to thank for that! VERY Happy Bride :)

Our wedding was May 2017, and we used Floresta for all of our personal flower arrangements. Ever since we met the owner we fell right at home. Carlos and Ana were so welcoming. They made our vision come to life! i was so in love with my Bouquet, and the way our cake came out to be. Ana is such a delight to work with and works amazingly around your budget. I would highly recommend Floresta for any event!

I was not excited to pick out flowers for my wedding because I know nothing about flowers, but that totally changed as soon as I had my first meeting with Carlos. He was amazing in helping me pick out flowers and my husband is a chef so he had ideas to incorporate different herbs into the bouquets. All of our floral elements were beautiful and really made the day. They ended up being one of my favorite parts of my wedding day when I initially had no idea what to do with flowers.

This review is long overdue - we hired FlorEsta to do our wedding at the Foundry in September, 2014 and we were thrilled with our experience. Carlo is a true artist and worked with us at length to design beautiful and truly unique arrangements in keeping with the style of our venue and our wedding theme. His arrangements absolutely transformed the space. His team is also extremely professional and has extensive experience working in multiple high end locations throughout the five boroughs so we knew everything would arrive and be installed as expected. Finally, very recently, I stopped into the shop to order a few small centerpieces for a baby shower. Carlo popped out right away and greeted me like an old friend. He gave me the same level of customer service and attention to detail in designing those two small centerpieces as he did working on our entire wedding. We are definitely customers for life and cannot recommend FlorEsta highly enough!

Floresta is incredible. They did the flowers for our wedding in November and from our first conversation, Carlo understood our vision and literally brought it to life. His and Ana's attention to detail and the care that they take is outstanding. Our wedding was transformed by their hard work, dedication and creativity! Our experience could not have been better and we cannot recommend Floresta more! We will be customers for life! Thank you Floresta, you made our wedding magical!

What can I say? Floresta really knocked out of the park. The flowers and decor for our wedding ceremony and reception were absolutely gorgeous. Carlo delivered everything he promised and even was able to find irises for us when they were VERY out of season in the US. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Would definitely work with Floresta again!

We recently had our wedding on the 16th of September. Ana and Carlos were incredible to work with! They were very easy to work with, Carlos' visual of ideas based on what I told him I liked in the very first meeting was also incredibly helpful so that I can see what he was envisioning. Couldn't recommend them more.

Carlo and his team were extraordinary. Firstly the bouquets and arrangements they created were original and gorgeous and fit perfectly with the color scheme of our wedding. Additionally, when on-site, Carlo and his team were prompt, courteous and efficient. They even threw in a bunch of bonus items for free! I highly recommend Floresta for any weddings or other events that require a touch of color and class!

Our wedding at the Green Building in Brooklyn was truly brought to life by Carlo and his beautiful floral designs. He and Ana provided top-notch service and eased any typical wedding anxieties or concerns every step of the way, and on the actual day they were punctual, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. Aside from maximizing our budget, Carlo really knows how to work within a specific space, creating arrangements that perfectly complement a room's ceiling height or an outdoor area's surroundings. I really can't recommend Floresta highly enough. Thank you, Carlo and Ana!

Carlo and his team were an absolute dream to work with. Carlo is amazingly passionate about flowers and arranging. His enthusiasm and deep knowledge are infectious and make the process super easy. He also apparently knows every wedding venue in New York! and was able to help us with specific recommendations for making the most of our budget in each venue. He went above and beyond at every turn, exceeding our expectations, and creating a picture-perfect wedding the memories of which I will treasure for a lifetime. I would recommend flo re sta to anyone in New York and beyond! The best in the business, with amazing, unique floral selections, and the ability to make everyone feel like the center of attention throughout the whole process.

My husband and I hired Floresta to do our wedding just this past December. We were extremely happy with the results. Carlo and his team are fantastic! They are reliable, great communicators, and they know the craft very well. During the consultation, they gave us focused attention and took notes on our vision for our wedding. The presentation was a great opportunity for us to communicate our likes and dislikes. They took all our feedback and excited very successfully on the day of the wedding. I was in love with all the arrangements... I wished my bouquet could last forever. I highly recommend them for all events!

Worked with Ana who was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. All wedding bouquets were absolutely beautiful!!! In such a hectic day, they made one less thing for me to worry about. Thank you!!!

Floresta was amazing! We worked with Carlo and Ana and they were so attentive from day one. Carlo is truly a visionary and was able to put to life exactly what I imagined and more. He is a perfectionist and only puts out his best work. The delivery of the flowers was organized and came with adorable labels in mini boxes. I would recommend Floresta without hesitation!

Carlo and his team at Floresta were great and designed beautiful and unique pieces for our August Wedding at the Picnic House in Prospect Park. They were patient with my specific requests and changes, and he helped us to maximize our budget for the most impact. Everything turned out beautifully, and we were especially impressed by our unique tall, leafy green centerpieces that tied the event together beautifully. Guests were very complimentary. Highly recommend them!

fLorEsta has been our go-to neighborhood floral boutique for any and all occasions, so it was a no brainer for us to schedule a meeting with Carlo when it came time to plan our own wedding. We met with Carlo as soon as we had our date set because we knew we wanted him to help design our floral theme. We walked into the meeting with some ideas but walked out with a plan. Carlo helped us imagine and execute our ideas all the while making sure they complement our style and budget. Working with Carlo was so much fun because of his energy and enthusiasm. Watching him patiently explaining the different variety of flowers made us realize he's truly a master at his art, one who's extremely creative and talented. Carlo was very generous in imparting his knowledge and working with us - he even gave our stylish grandpa a very handsome-looking boutonniere! Throughout our planning process Carlo was extremely responsive and professional, and did I mention he's so fun to work with? On our wedding day Carlo and his team at fLorEsta delivered spectacularly. His work complemented our whimsical style and he made the bridal party look good! And the bridal bouquet was truly "dramatic" in the most beautiful way! We have nothing but the BEST THINGS to say about Carlo and his team (including Monica) at fLorEsta and would recommend them to anyone. We look forward to being fLorEsta's customer for a long time to come!

To any bride looking for an amazing florist I would highly recommend FlorEsta! I visited Carlo and his team in their amazing shop in LIC only (6) weeks before my wedding. Even though I was seriously last minute in booking my flowers Carlo took the job on without hesitation and paid close attention to each and every detail as though we had tons of time to plan. I had a very specific vision for the flowers I wanted for the big day and Carlo completely embraced what I loved and added his expertise to make it simply perfect! Even when I did not love some of the elements he wanted to incorporate, he was not pushy at all and only incorporated the elements that I really wanted. Besides their great customer service Carlo also gave us an extremely fair deal and cut costs where he could to meet our budget. On the day of the wedding, with so much going on, it was so comforting to know that I did not have to worry about the flowers at all. Everything arrived on time and was exactly as I ordered. Carlo and the entire team truly have a passion for flowers; from the moment you meet with them you can tell how much they honestly love what they do and that certainly translates on the product they deliver.

I had the pleasure of working with Floresta for a styled bridal gown shoot. I called him last minute, and he was very eager to get the flowers done on time and he did. Everything was amazing and exceeded my expectations. Although I placed my order over the phone, he was able to deliver everything that I wanted perfectly. He and his team are the nicest people you can work with. Floresta is so easy to work with, I will be recommending them to future clients.

Carlo is an artist. He takes pride in his work and lets you decide which flowers you would like to use by creating a mock bouquet in his shop

I was very pleased with our flowers; they were exactly what we ordered and were delivered as promised and very timely. Setup of our centerpieces were also great!
