Ambiance Florals & Events

omeone who knows much about flowers, but she helped us make decisions that went perfectly with our vision without ever being pushy or making us feel like we had to spend outside our budget. Being a small and busy shop, she and her staff were still easily reachable by phone throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Michele and her team were right on time delivering the flowers to all different locations. She dropped bridesmaids bouquets at the venue with flowers for my parents, dropped boutonnières and flowers for the MOG & flower girl at the church along with our two altar arrangements, stopped back at the church after the ceremony to bring those flowers back to the venue, and did an absolutely beautiful job with the centerpieces and flowers around the venue. The flowers were above and beyond anything we could’ve imagined, and we’d highly recommend Michele and her team at Ambiance!

erson. She completely understood our vision and ran with it! The flowers for our wedding day left me speechless when I saw them, they were so beautiful! She even helped me attach a locket to my bouquet for my father, and I'm so grateful for that. I would highly recommend!

oking rustic. Michele created the most elegant and breathtaking bouquets and centerpieces. She truly brought my vision to life and I couldn’t have been happier. I would recommend Ambiance Florals and Events for any event.

ns, and many ppl complemented her arrangements at the reception. Would highly recommend.

photos I had sent. Could not have been happier with the pricing and the finished product.

thing I could have hoped for. They were simple, yet interesting, and made a statement. All my bridesmaids bouquets and corsages were equally amazing, Michele's flowers for our centerpieces were also wonderful and just what we wanted! Michele delivered my flowers herself, truly shows how much she cares about her clients and attention to detail. I highly recommend Ambiance Florals for your next event!

ess seamless. As a less than decisive bride when it came to florals, Michele was incredibly patient with me, met with me in-person, and let me go through all of her look books and gave me her professional opinion based on the other details I provided. The florals at our wedding looked amazing and she was incredible at helping us repurpose as much as possible (bouquets converted to sweetheart table decoration). Additionally, I was incredibly impressed at how long the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets held up throughout the day from delivery to the reception. Once was left on a table overnight and still only showed minor wilting in the morning! She clearly is passionate and takes pride in her work and it makes for amazing events.

ful scent of one of the table pieces she took home. I will be reaching out to find the name of that particular flower. If you want a fun, professional team that knows their flowers, Ambiance should be your go to for your wedding

tifully incorporated my late grandmothers earrings into the ribbon around the stems. When I first saw my bouquet and the earrings I started to cry. Our centerpieces were beautifully done and received many compliments from guests. Thank you for making our day beautiful!

passion for her business and happiness for her brides in very apparent and she beams when she talks, her smile is contagious! The bridesmaids loved their bouquets and everyone was in awe for my bridal bouquet

d to change our date due to COVID. Their enthusiasm for what they do is contagious. Highly recommend!!!

ed to what I wanted and helped stay in a budget. She created a masterpiece. And her price was very reasonable and absolutely worth it! THANK YOU!!

is affordable, easy to work with, and high quality. My bouquet was absolutely stunning! All of our other florals were perfect as well and really completed the overall look of the wedding party and the space.

rior to my wedding. From our initial meeting, Michele remembered my floral vision and brought it to life on my wedding day. Our flowers were incredibly fragrant and beautiful. Michele was also able to accommodate my last minute request for tulle on our wedding arbor.

ally works with you to make sure you’re getting everything you envision with such reasonable prices. The centerpieces and bouquets for my girls were exactly what I wanted. (2 weeks later my bouquet is still very much alive and beautiful) All of our guests couldn’t stop raving how upscale and classy it all looked. Not only does she do beautiful work but you can tell she really cares about her brides. We had a situation that we had to unfortunately cut our guestlist 10 days before the date and therefore the table numbers. We called Michele in a panic because we had already paid for everything and she was SO accommodating and compassionate for our situation with no questions asked and refunded us the difference. We need to support businesses like these in these trying times of Covid. The ones that aren’t in it for the money but the ones that truly enjoy what they do and make every effort to do the right thing even if they don’t have to. Do yourself a favor and book her for your wedding. You’ll be so glad you did.

l- totally envisioned what I explained - thanks again!

what we could tell from online reviews and photos. However, I was absolutely certain we made the right decision after our first meeting with Michele early on in our planning process. Michele is so passionate about what she does, and so positive and helpful even with people like myself who know almost nothing about flowers. I was thrilled with everything she came up with, including a beautiful paper wall. I would highly recommend Michele and Ambiance to anyone looking to have gorgeous, custom florals with the absolute best service possible!

sional events, so we reached out for a few phone call consultations. She was very excited to hear about our intended wedding theme (a touch of Star Wars/space), making sure to ask the right questions to really know what our intentions were. Her openness to our specific ideas was one of the biggest reasons we decided to work with her, as it helped us get excited, too. When she presented a few suggestions and ideas from her previous work, she was receptive as we balanced our budget considerations against our desired look-and-feel, and worked to prune out things we felt we didn't need, but keeping things she KNEW would be great for our celebration. And, having to read through numerous "Star Wars" planet names and themes, we were grateful for her patience as we presented our unique ideas. After the contract was drafted, she made sure to keep us aware of the requirements for the floral elements of our wedding, and coordinated as we purchased some of the decor ourselves, to make sure it stayed in-line with what she was prepared to decorate. We connected her with our venue planner to coordinate colors for the centerpieces, and the outside ceremony space. On the day of the wedding, she made herself available to come get reacquainted with our venue (she has worked with a lot of venues in the Albany area), providing the flowers and decorations and setting up the different spaces. Our wedding night was a great success, and we received so many compliments on the classiness of the theme. We highly recommend Michele and Ambiance and are so glad we worked with her for our wedding!

ng on our wedding. She took my ideas seriously and offered up terrific suggestions. When it came time for our wedding, the flowers were just beautiful. Its been 2 weeks and my bouquet is sitting in a vase of water still looking really great. I actually don't know if I should take it out to dry it or let it keep doing its thing because its held up so well. Given the chance to plan my wedding again, I'd go with Michele every time.

ob with everything. She made me feel so important on the big day. You won't regret booking with Ambiance!!

who showed excitement over her position as a wedding florist, and who educated me about different flowers that would match my color pallet and that would hold up in the July heat. Throughout our entire first conversation, Michelle’s excitement, personality, and expertise were evident. She was attentive to any and all requests I had, and remained in constant communication through the planning process. The day of the wedding, our flowers were absolutely stunning. They were so beautiful, when the bouquets were delivered, I teared up. From our bouquets and boutonnieres to ceremony decorations to centerpieces and beyond - everything was just over the top gorgeous. I was excited to be able to see Michelle the day of the wedding, and once again her bubbly, excited personality came through, amping me up further for my big moment. It was an absolute pleasure to work with someone so talented, dedicated and obviously in love with her job. I would recommend Michelle and her team at Ambiance for any and all floral needs.

bouquet--I am awestruck! The only thing that is keeping this from being 5 stars, is that I wasn't given the prototype I was assured I would see and communication was lacking from the business side. I had to take the initiative to keep reaching out when there was no response, which is frustrating when you are coordinating with several vendors for such an important day.

than any florists in the Capital Region. Shortly before the wedding we met with Michell to discuss what we wanted and provide her with the dress color. The flowers ended up being absolutely gorgeous! Have no hesitation about Ambiance, they know what they are doing and provide a great value.

djusting when we changed our ceremony to an indoor ceremony. They took the flowers we were going to have on the arbor and rearranged them around the indoor fireplace and the entire room was stunning! From the petals in the aisle, to the flowers on the seats and the mantle, to the bridesmaids' bouquets and finally to my bouquet, everything was perfect. I was in love with my bouquet! The flowers were beautiful and vibrant and they really stand out in the pictures I have. I am beyond grateful for all the work the staff at Ambiance did and I really recommend them to anyone looking for a florist!!!

lowers throughout the reception as needed (on signs, on the cake, on tables, etc.). The flowers were absolutely gorgeous, and Michele was so knowledgeable in helping us put together a vision and then executed it perfectly. The centerpieces were so beautiful, and they really made the room look perfect along with the flowers Michele put on the cocktail hours tables and welcome signs. I was not entirely sure what I wanted in terms of centerpieces, and Michele was so patient and helpful with helping me plan out colors and flower types. She really is an expert, as evidenced by the gorgeous arrangements she made for the bouquets and boutonnieres. I could not recommend Ambiance more highly, and I am so grateful to Michele and her team for making our wedding day so beautiful and special. She also did an amazing job with the flowers for both of my sisters’ wedding, my bridal shower, and countless other events for my family, so she has a record of excellence :).

ul flower to take home! We opted for table garlands rather than traditional centerpieces and they came out so pretty! My bouquet was STUNNING and I got so many compliments on it - it was exactly what I wanted, and had all the flowers I requested. We are so happy we worked with Michele and her team - they are truly the best!

th me many times (per my request) and even did some samples to ease my mind. The day of the florals looked AMAZING. I couldn't be happier about the work she did.

sive to calls and emails. We discussed what I envisioned for our wedding day and Michele made my dreams a reality. The tables were absolutely stunning and they were exactly what I hoped for and more. We had a mixture of candles and flowers and it could not have been more beautiful. Our guests are still commenting on how incredible the tables looked! Our bouquets and boutonnieres were also so beautiful and we were able to re-use them during the reception for additional decor. You will not regret it if you choose Michele at Ambiance Florals!

the vintage ambiance and natural setting. Michelle listened to her and designed centerpieces and bouquets that were beyond our expectations. When she came to deliver them, she came with scissors and extra flowers, ready to make any changes we wanted - although the flowers were absolutely perfect! I recommend Ambiance whole heartily and thank Michelle for making this special day perfect!

urselves, and Michele gave excellent instructions to be sure the flowers remained beautiful from pick up to drop off. Thank you!

asy. Since the beginning of our wedding planning, it was a pleasure working with Michele. From the moment we walked into her store, I knew how beautiful she would make our wedding day. Michele pulled out photo albums, drew sketches and looked over my 10,000 pins on my Pinterest wedding board for inspiration. I had a difficult time grasping color pallets but Michele was very accommodating and mostly patient. She pulled several flowers samples and drew on her own knowledge to help create a one of a kind experience. The day before our wedding, Michele called to reassure me that everything was perfect while going over day of details. I even threw some last minute ideas her way. Michele's response was "perfect, it will be done with no problem". I knew I could trust Michele and her expertise for the day of my wedding. When Michele arrived to my suite the day of my wedding I was overwhelmed with tears of happiness. Everything from the boutineers to my bouquet was everything I hoped it to be. The flowers were fresh, vibrant with color and breathtaking. Our center pieces and alter décor were amazing as well. As we look back through our wedding photos, we are thrilled with the outcome as well as Michele's attention to detail. I highly recommend Ambiance Floral & Events to help make your wedding day unforgettable!

reative ideas and everything came out absolutely gorgeous! She also had my back when our venue began setting up wrong, she made sure everything was in its proper spot. My bouquet was stunning and she even attached a picture of my father to it as an extra thoughtful touch. Every arrangement looked like it was straight out of a wedding catalog, she is so talented and has the resume to prove it. I don't know why a bride would choose anyone else as a florist.

ul. Michele arranged our bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, pomander balls (for our ceremony) and even provided flowers for our cake (which looked amazing!). Michele understood the “look” we were going for, and pulled it off flawlessly. I took home one of the centerpieces and it is still looking good! Michele was easy to work with, and very flexible too – she accommodated our budget while still delivering the same look that we wanted. Overall, we are very happy with Michele at Ambiance and highly recommend her!

ception and the ceremony was so Beautiful! Thank you

so wonderful to work!

SO professional, treats your event like it is her very own and gives you the attention, compassion and excitement that everyone deserves on their special day. Michele was so excited every time we spoke about my event, that it only made me even more excited. Her work is amazing and I couldnt feel any more happier about the way the flowers turned out. It was on point! Above all, I felt special, which the other places didnt make me feel. Also, she is very upfront about the cost, which, the other businesses only give you estimates until nearly the day of. I am sad now that I will not be in contact with Michele as much since the event is over, because she truly is a wonderful person who runs a wonderful business.

ets were perfect and the church looked amazing after she was done with it too. I will absolutely recommend Ambiance to friends and family for events. Thanks for helping make our day so great Michelle!

s what she does. All of my bouquets and boutonnieres were delivered to the bridal suite (where I was getting ready) and the ceremony and reception flowers were set up perfectly. My reception flowers (sunflowers and herbs) even lasted until I returned from my honeymoon - 11 days after the wedding!!

d what we were looking for and how we envisioned our florals. She had wonderful ideas and put together a few different samples for us while we met. On the day of, the florals were even more gorgeous and vibrant than I expected! I can't tell you how many people complimented us on them, particularly the ceremony florals. Michelle is very sweet and extremely responsive during the planning process. I highly recommend her to anyone planning an event in the Albany area!

es! I could not have asked for anything more! The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and everyone kept commenting on them all night long!

She did not pressure me into a decision and we went over in detail what I was looking for in my wedding flowers. Her mock up of our centerpieces was amazing and her value was incredible.

er our budget, and was under but you could not tell! They filled our venue and it was amazing! I told her bits of what I wanted and she turned them in to reality! Lace on my bouquet to match my dress! Really thinks outside of the box without being too crazy!

eautiful. I could not have made a better choice for a florist.

thing she did.
