Anderson Flowers

Howie Anderson did an amazing job with our mixed Hindu-Catholic wedding and ceremony. Had excellent insight into the various elements of Hindu ceremonies and designed a beautiful mandap that we loved. Beautiful centerpieces, bouquet, boutonnieres and corsages for the day of. Easy to work with and very affordable. Of note, he was dealing with some family emergencies a few weeks prior to our wedding and remained very professional with good communication to us despite this clearly difficult time personally. He came through in a fantastic way for the day of the wedding. We loved working with Howie.

Time and time again, Howie and the Anderson Flowers team has gone above and beyond our expectations and has brought our vision to real life! We hired his services for a small COVID backyard wedding, my bridal shower, and for our backyard décor for our large Indian wedding. Each time, he was available to meet with us in person, via phone call, and via email. He was responsive and reliable with each event. We trust him with all of our events to come and we highly recommend his services!

Howie from the beginning was great to work with! He not only gave us the perfect wedding arch, but the centerpieces were gorgeous. The sweetheart and place card table also had flowers and petals that tied everything together. He incorporated my wedding colors perfectly. The team set everything up beautifully on the day. I would highly recommend.

Howie did an awesome job! Anderson Flowers were a pleasure to work with, easily brought my vision to life at the right price! Their flowers were beautiful and great quality! Working with Howie was smooth and effortless! Highly recommend.

I got married on 10/9 and I couldn’t recommend Anderson Flowers more. Howie took everything I asked for and made us the most breathtaking arrangements all within our budget. He took the time to listen to me and what I wanted, he truly cares about all of his customers.

Excellent florist. Personalized our entire experience and made sure the flowers were where they needed to be prior to the time we discussed. He went above and beyond for us and I would recommend this florist for any of your needs.

Howie @ Anderson Flowers is an awesome person to work with for your wedding flowers! This place was one of our venue's preferred vendors, which is why we initially went to him, but everything else about the place is wonderful. When I said when we were getting married, he immediately listed off flowers in season to keep my costs down. He is very visual and shows you examples he has on his computer. As someone who doesn't know much about flowers, that was so helpful! Overall, we were so happy with Howie as he made our day so special!

Howard did such an amazing job on making my wedding floral vision come to life!! He met my expectations and more! The flowers were fresh and just beautiful. He is a very sweet and understanding person which made it so easy to work with. He is very passionate about his work and it shows! I can not express how happy I am to have hired Anderson flowers for my wedding! Thank you so much!

All I have to say is amazing!!! Howie made my day truly special! He listened to my ideas and really put my vision into beautiful bouquets and centerpieces. He was also great to work with! He got back to me promptly, and always made me feel comfortable that everything would be perfect. I absolutely loved the set up with the lanterns/flower centerpieces and the sweetheart table, and the bouquets were just beautiful!! I am so happy I wish my flowers would last forever! Thank you so much!!! 

After our first meeting with Howie and his team, we knew we wanted to hire Anderson Flowers for our wedding. Howie has a sweet personality with a great eye for color schemes and flower choices. When we weren't sure exactly what we wanted, he helped us create a wonderful and thorough plan. We had to postpone our original wedding due to COVID-19, but when we decided to still hold an intimate (socially distanced) ceremony for family this year, he provided the most beautiful bouquet and boutonnières, at a discount and with only a couple weeks notice. Can't wait to work with him again next year!

Howie & Anderson Flowers completely outdid themselves!! The arrangements were beautiful and totally blew me away. Extremely professional and all last minute requests were met. We will be using them for every celebration going forward and would highly recommend!! The new Mr. & Mrs. Friedmann

Howard was amazing!! He provided me flowers for my bridal shower and my wedding. His eye for detail is amazing. He is so easy to communicate with, and flexible with the ever changing circumstances due to COVID-19. My bouquets and centerpieces were exactly what I wanted and he provided me white throne chairs. Our full ceremony set up was beautiful. At the end of the night every guest wanted to take home all of our flowers! 10/10

Howard and his team are AMAZING! I will never look for another decorator for future events. They make your vision come to life and even pick up on minor details you may have missed. They go above and beyond what is mentioned in the contract to ensure you have the most enjoyable event without having to worry about a thing.

Could not have asked for a better team than Anderson Flowers. They brought my vision to life on my big day. Howie was attentive and provided very useful insight throughout the planning process. He stuck by every word written in our contract and even went beyond. On the day of the wedding Howie was on site with his team on time. I recommend him to all who are looking for an AFFORDABLE decorator/florist with a high quality finish.

Words can’t describe how beautiful my flowers were on May 18 2019. From my bouquet to the centerpieces. You can tell they put love and care in everything they do. Howard was amazing to talk to and realistic. He broke down everything I needed for the day of the wedding. I couldn’t be more happier. I can see myself using Anderson Flowers again in the future.

Exceeded our expectations! Our daughter was married this past Saturday October 27th at the Bridgewater Marriott. When people write a review, sometimes the words your reading aren’t enough. So as I write this and you read my review, please understand and get a sense of the emotion in which I’m trying to express... it’s our daughters wedding... we of course want the best.  The best for all your floral needs, is Anderson Flowers. The floral centerpieces, arbor spray arrangements and ceremony arrangements that Howie created, were magnificent!  Every fall color imaginable was in there. They even put small pumpkins inside as an added wow factor. The attention they paid to detail...they placed rose petals all around the centerpieces and at their sweethearts table- it was above and beyond and far exceeded our expectations.  Since the ceremony and reception were held in one place and at different times, Anderson Flowers, made two delivery trips for us. We truly appreciated that.  When the bridal party’s bouquets and boutonnières arrived, they were simply stunning.  Our daughters bouquet, was a work of art! It was a mixture of fresh and silk flowers and they used every deep, rich, fall color. A wide variety of flowers that complimented each other. Everything, our daughter envisioned, Howie created it.  From start to finish the whole process was seamless. It’s been a pleasure working with Howie, at Anderson Flowers. He is extremely dedicated, patient and a true professional. Any questions, you simply called and they answered it. Having Howie there every step of the way; made a world of difference. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with Anderson Flowers.  Thank you to everyone at Anderson Flowers for making a wonderful wedding, even more memorable.

Working with Anderson Flowers was amazing! Howard was a delight!! I came in with a picture of what I wanted my bouquet to look like without even knowing what flowers were in the bouquet or in season. Howard identified each flower and told me what would work best for the time of year. He also runs Kalaash Decor and did the centerpieces and stage decoration for our reception. I received so many compliments on not only the decorations but also our bouquets. All the bridesmaids took home their bouquets! Prices are very reasonable and everyone on staff is incredibly friendly! We HIGHLY recommend using Anderson Flowers!!

Howie is just unbelievable. While staying within our budget, he made the most BEAUTIFUL bouquets, centerpieces, and decor for my wedding on 6/3/2018. He made us feel comfortable from start to finish and I trusted him to make the beauty of the venue and my bridal party stand out and make a statement. I got SO many compliments on how beautiful our centerpieces were and how beautiful all the flowers were. When he arrived with my bouquets (on time! 😊) I was speechless at how elegant and perfect they were!!! Howie was only a phone call away for anything I needed and he thought of the things I forgot. I would recommend Anderson Flowers to anyone and everyone because they are RELIABLE, affordable, and they do INCREDIBLE work! I will trust Howie with any other formal events in our future! Thanks so much again Howie for making my day so perfect!!😘 Jessica & Danny

We were recommended to Anderson Flowers by a coworker and we are so happy we found them! Howie was wonderful to work with and made our vision come to life, without breaking the bank. We told him we were on a budget and he gave us exactly what we were looking for within our budget. He was punctual and always kept me informed. We had a Chuppah for our interfaith ceremony and planned to do the wedding outside. It rained so we had to bring it inside, and he said no problem and was able to set up the Chuppah to make it look more beautiful than I ever could have imagined! Our centerpieces, and the bouquets were breathtaking, especially mine! Thank you so much Howie and your team for your hard work!!!

Howard and his team provided flowers for both our Indian and Mexican ceremonies and we could not be happier. From the initial meeting, to the flower selection and finally the day of the event, Andersen Flowers was perfect to work with. We strongly recommend them to any couple getting married.

We became familiar with Anderson Flowers after receiving an e-mail about their specials. We made an appointment with Howie. From the moment we had our meeting, my husband knew we had found our florist. He worked with our budget. He understood our color schemes (purple and orange) and truly made beautiful arrangements. He created arrangements that worked for both our ceremony and our reception. The flowers looked fresh and the colors were vibrant. We were able to see a sample of our main centerpieces prior to the wedding. He was accessible by e-mail and phone. On the day of our wedding, he arrived early to ensure everything was set up. Our venue was in Northern NJ (about an hr away from shop). He had my bouquet and a toss bouquet. He decorated our cake as well.

I used Anderson flowers for my wedding on 8/26. Howie and everyone at Anderson flowers were absolutely amazing! Howie was so easy to work with, he was always very friendly and offered great advice! He definitely knows what he is doing! The flowers and decor for our wedding came out better than I could of imagined! Howie handled my craziness very well too! I was always changing things around and even last minute and he always accommodated me! I highly recommend Anderson flowers!

I just got married yesterday August 29. I absolutely loved all of my flowers! They were gorgeous! Howie the owner did an amazing job he was able to accommodate my every need, his staff is also very helpful! I got married at Addison park in Keyport New Jersey, if you know the venue it is very elegant, crystal chandeliers black-and-white flooring, flowing staircases, outdoor garden with patio, my flowers outside on the pedestals for the Aisle were very vibrant, lush and fresh!! Pink! My inside flowers matched the theme of the ballroom elegant, light pink roses and hydrangeas. everything was absolutely fresh and beautiful Howie delivered all of my bouquets early in the morning to my house! They were just as gorgeous as my outside and reception flowers! This business is very professional and you can tell right away when talking to them they understand your needs and can envision the look you are wanting to achieve! We visited with several other florist before I found Anderson's. The quality and price that Anderson's was able to offer us was right where my budget needed to be and also most reasonably priced compared to the other florists we met with. Flowers to me was one of the top priorities in our wedding if you are looking for professionalism, outstanding presentation and gorgeous flowers and great service go visit them today!! I cannot thank them enough!! We had such a beautiful wedding, I will never forget my flowers!

I had my wedding at the Imperia and my centerpieces were ordered from this flower shop. When I arrived at the reception at 6 pm, I was told my centerpieces never arrived and Howie, the owner, was contacted several times on his cell where he did not answer. When he finally did answer, he claimed the order was never placed. I ended up getting something thrown together that looked extremely cheap. Totally unprofessional! If flowers were not included in the venue price, I would have just used my amazing florist, flower cart in old bridge for the centerpieces as well. Brides beware!!!

We had a very disappointing experience with Anderson. We got married at the Imperia and Anderson was the vendor that provided centerpieces, so we used them for our bridal party flowers. An hour after the flowers were supposed to be delivered the morning of the wedding, we had to call Coleen to find out what was going on, and she had no idea they had not been delivered. Neither her nor Howie were even in the area for the day of our event. We were told the refrigerators had died over night, yet our reception flowers were delivered on time. Whatever the case, we were refunded our money, but our bridal flowers were lackluster, not the flowers I had picked out, and the bouquets and boutineers were small and wilted. The communication and service was incredibly disappointing, and the way this 'crisis' was handled was unprofessional. There are more reliable florists in the area for the same price with a better product to offer.

Howie was so nice to work with and knows his job so well! He had great suggestions and knew what kind of flowers would work best for what we wanted! He asked me what look I was going for and really our flowers were above and beyond perfection and beyond what we had dreamed for! I still have my bouquet in a vase and they still look fantastic! The bouquets and centerpieces all the way down to the boutineers were gorgeous!! They survived the night and still look great! The centerpieces were included in our venue and the basic choices still all looked amazing!! Howie made sure to add extra touches to the arch we asked for, he added fabric and took all the mason jars we asked him to hang on the arch looked amazing! He never tried to talk us into extras or upgrades and told me the places where flowers are noticed and not noticed so we could focus any extras we wanted to where they would go best!! The flowers definitely helped make our night perfect! Howie even came to the hotel to wrap my bouquet with my nana’s handkerchief and rosaries since I forgot to bring them to our final meeting! It was something that made those flowers that much more special! Thank you Anderson flowers everything was beautiful!!

My venue's house florist was Anderson Flowers, so we decided to check them out first. I have to say the biggest impression Howie left on us after meeting with him was his passion for his job. It was evident that he was extremely knowledgeable on the different types of flowers and how to best arrange them for the most beautiful results. He also was very attentive to details and exceeded my expectations by simply adding rhinestones to my bouquet and navy ribbons to the bridesmaids'. I'm so in love with my bouquet that I am having it preserved. Howie was very thorough in his planning and even included a 2nd boutineer for my husband in the event that his first one got crushed during hugs! The sweetheart table blew me away. It was stunningly beautiful and I couldn't have asked for more. Although the centerpieces were included in the price of the venue, they were beautiful, classic and simplistic, just what I was looking for. When discussing centerpieces during our consultation, Howie did not pressure us into upgrading our venue package. That spoke loudly to my husband and I. It was clear that we were in his best interest and that he wasn't trying to make an extra buck off us. In fact, the grand total for our flowers was extremely affordable! Overall, we are extremely satisfied with our flowers and would recommend this company to future couples for their wedding!

Howie is the owner of Anderson Flowers. From our first meeting, him and I totally hit it off. He thought of everything! We had custom centerpieces, boutonnieres, place card table, etc. all to fit our baseball and golf themed wedding. He did a fantastic job!!

My venue, The Imperia, uses Anderson Flowers for the free centerpieces that they include for the reception tables. This was a great money saver for me! I really wanted the three cylinder vases with a blue orchid submerged in water with a floating candle for my tables, but it was not quite fitting into the budget. So Howie, suggested that I use that orchid centerpiece on the four tables surrounding the dance floor and use the free, smaller ones on all of the other tables. Amazing idea!!! You get the look you want close to the area photographed the most. I was very happy with the way my centerpieces came out. The smaller centerpieces were blue hydrangeas and they were so lovely. And the orchid centerpieces were amazing! I would definitely recommend Anderson's to all the brides out there!

I was provided Anderson's contact information through my wedding venue, The Imperia. I received my centerpieces at a discounted cost. Because of the discounted centerpieces, we decided to get all of our flowers from Anderson. We met with Howie two times before the wedding. When he met with us, he took his time and went through every detail with us. When we were unable to find a blue flower to match the bridemaid dresses, he took the time to tell us the options for blue flowers and ended up spray painting the flowers blue. On the wedding day, the flowers were delivered timely to both my house and the venue. They did a great job setting up the flowers at the venue. The flowers and centerpieces looked beautiful. We did rent a runner from them since we had an outdoor ceremony. The runner was paper-thin (literally) and was blowing around during my whole ceremony. Overall, we were impressed by Anderson Flowers and would recommend them to future brides.

I first met with Howie about two months before our wedding. I wanted everything to have a very "earthy" feel to it, and he was able to bring our vision to life. He created a BEAUTIFUL willow arch, custom monogram using moss and rocks (gorgeous!) a driftwood focal piece on our head table (adorned with moss, roses, and succulents) and my bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets were exactly what I wanted. He returned my emails in a timely manner, and was great with offering suggestions. We had an issue with our cake, and Howie took it upon himself to try to cover up the many visible flaws. It definitely helped! He wasn't at all pushy in our meeting, and is an overall nice guy... a little quirky, but nice. I completely recommend Anderson Flowers to any bride.

Howie did an amazing job with our floral arrangements for our wedding. He exceeded our expectations. He really listened to what we wanted and saw our vision. Thank You Howie for doing an amazing job!

I was provided Anderson's through my wedding venue, The Imperia. I received my centerpieces at a discounted cost. I had read the previous reviews but after meeting with Coleen I felt comfortable going with them for all my floral needs. I had a unique request with my centerpieces and bouquets but she assured me it was no problem. (gerber daisies and pink lilies.) My final meeting with her and she informed she didn't charge for my maid of honor bouquet so she added it to the price. No problem. However, the day of my wedding, the delivery person showed up without my maid of honor bouquet. (the one she had just recharged me for) He called Howie who insisted I did not pay for another bouquet, let alone a maid of honor bouquet. Good thing I thought to bring my contract with me which clearly showed I was due another bouquet. They assured me it would be there within a half hour and they were so sorry, etc., etc. A half hour went by, my bridesmaid called Coleen and she had no idea what was even going on. She wasn't involved with my wedding at all that day.The bouquet was delivered an hour later and it was clearly all thrown together and not what I had paid extra for, for my maid of honor bouquet. On top of that, I was given bouquets with lilies that weren't even open. IN all my bouquets were flowers that were closed. Not what I was going for in my bouquet of pink gerber daises and pink lilies. I would suggest using them for your centerpieces but not anything else.

I worked with Colleen and Howie for my flowers. I should Colleen a picture and it came out exactly right. Colleen made herself available to meet me and was very personable. My flowers were delivered on time and were beautiful. My centerpieces were included in the cost of my venue. My flowers arrived on time, and exactly as I envisioned them to be. I could not have been happier

I worked with Howie as I was provided free centerpieces through my wedding venue and I was expecting very small generic flowers that wouldn't fit into my decor but I felt like their offerings were better than expected and mine turned out really nice! All the flowers for me my bridal party and my husbands groomsmen were gorgeous and our arch was breathtaking full of stargazer Lillie's. also our consultation maybe lasted a half hour he's great at focusing his clients as I had no idea of what I wanted. All the flowers were at a really reasonable price too way under what I thought.

I have to say that working with Coleen from Anderson Flowers was *truly* a delight to work with! From our 1st appt she made me feel at ease and she really listened to me. I wasn't a very traditional bride, but wasn't sure what I wanted (that I could afford). Coleen helped me figure out what I liked and then helped to find out what we could create that was similar but in my budget. This was truly the most enjoyable part of the entire wedding process and all thanks to Coleen! She really took the time and put a lot of attention to detail in creating my bouquets. Such a pleasure!

Fresh flowers, howie was thorough and provided excellent recommendations.

I worked with Geraldine at Anderson flowers to creat a simple 'vintage' concept for the wedding flowers. She was very helpful in providing advice and also understanding my inspiration for the wedding and running with it. Her work was beautiful, the flowers lasted several weeks after the wedding, and prices very reasonable. She was always available by email or phone if I had any questions or concerns.

My meetings went well and I enjoyed picking everything and working with the florist. I loved the bouquets and center pieces-just what I wanted. However they were very busy the weeks leading up to my wedding and it took a long time to hear back. I was told that we could not get hydrangea for the church the week of the wedding, I went with it and said ok-do something else. Well there were hydrangea but at least one on the altar was almost dead - very pathetic looking. The pew bows and hydrangea looked great but he duct taped them to the pews, which is not allowed by my church, so the priest was upset and I believe complained. Hooks were supposed to be used. We used the florist that came with my reception hall because center pieces were included. Even with this, I felt that the price was fairly high for what we got. Again, loved the bouquets and centerpieces.

I LOVED Howie and all of his staff. He gave me exactly what i asked for and then some. He was extremely attentive. I also ordered my invitations there and they were gorgeous as well. I would def. recommend him to other brides!

I booked this florist just 2 weeks before my wedding and they were completely accomdating. They were great with ideas, and completely listened to everything I wanted. I shopped around and they were the cheapest by almost 40%. Could not have asked for a better bouquet for my wedding

We used Anderson flowers for our centerpieces because they were included in the cost for our reception. When we first met to discuss our needs I thought I was going to use this florist for all of the flowers for our wedding. I later changed my mind because they were impossible to get in touch with or get an answer to any of my questions. They were not easy to work with at all which does not help in an already stressful time. On numerous occasions I would call and email Howie, yet never get responses. They still owe me money from my "refundable deposit" after canceling my order for personal flowers over 3 months ago. I will say that the centerpieces and the overall table appearance did look great the day of the wedding, however I would not recommend this vendor based on the customer service.

I loved working with Howie at Anderson's and thought he had a lot of great ideas and designs. However, when I received my bouquet at the wedding, I was very disappointed. Our colors were green and navy, and since their are no navy flowers, I was going with green and white, and the green and purple cymbodium orchids, which I love. When I got my bouquet, the orchids were green and yellow and many of the other arrangements had a lot of yellow that I was not pleased with. The assistant who was there setting up the flowers did what she could to add some of the green and purple orchids to my bouquet which made it better but it still wasn't what I was hoping for. All the arrangements that were as planned, were beautiful.

Anderson Florist, Howard Kramer the owner has the worse manners on the entire planet, when we first booked with Howie we thought he was the best Florist bc he said he would through in free stuff. The Imperia in Somerset recoomended us to Anderson Florist and his attitude changed three days b4 my wedding....he told me he would through in free items like mints and flowers in the bathrooms we didn't have anything. Anderson Florist forgot one of my paid Bouquet, we called Howie the next morning and he told me he will give us store credit..instead our refund...but we shall see about that, Anyway, I asked Howie for Rose Petals for my Ceremony and he offered to pay for them for me for free....I would have paid....but Anderson said he would do it for free. And when I walked down the aisle I didn't have no 100 rose petals like the contract says. He also gave my flower girls fake flowers and I PAID for real Flowers....He was yelling at me on the phone...and the day of the wedding I didn't like the flowers on the main table and he told me if I don't pay him we will take away all the flowers .....

This vendor was recommended by my wedding venue. I was very pleased with the results. Howie was willing to work with you to keep into your budget. I am not a huge flower person so I did leave it up to him. The only negative thing I can say is I was a little disappointed with the flowers on my cake they were supposed to be purple as discussed but instead they were white. I think because I gave a sample picture I gave them had white photos in the picture, but the cake still looked beautiful!

I loved Anderson Flowers - they were very flexible and covered all the details prior to the wedding. They made me feel confident that the wedding was going to look beautiful and I was working with pro's, so worth the cost. I really liked their preliminary and final contract with details about the types of flowers, quantities and placement. They also delivered on time and kept all their promises- flawless!!!

Howie was very flexible and agreed to meet with us on his day off. He gave us good advice on flower selection and we were pleased with the flowers.
