John and the team at Ariston did a phenomenal job with the flowers for our wedding--we had a truly outstanding experience working with Ariston at every step of the way. When we we...
re planning the wedding, John (who clearly knows everything there is to know about wedding flowers and venues in the NY area) immediately helped us turn our rough ideas into beautiful designs. While we had to postpone our celebration multiple times due to the pandemic, John set himself apart with his kindness and understanding--we could not have asked for a more supportive vendor. On the wedding day, John's arrangements were superb. He designed and built a stunning chuppah, and the table arrangements were beautiful. They were exactly what we'd hoped for and then some!
The flowers Ariston provided for my daughter's wedding were outstanding. They were fresh, with gorgeous alternating tall and short vases. The bridal bouquet was created from the hi...
ghest quality roses as was the the bridal parties' corsages and boutonnières. The Church floral arrangements were so elegant along with the Church pew flowers which both complimented the Church decor.
The Ariston owner and his associates were so pleasant to deal with and were always available for assistance.
Thank you again for making my daughter's wedding so magical.
10/10 recommend, the best flowers ever! Maria was amazing to work with! She made my dream bridal shower and wedding come true thanks to her gorgeous floral arrangements. She comple...
tely understood what my vision was and flew with it. My expectations were exceeded! Like many others, I had to move my wedding due to covid. It was originally in Greece and we moved it to New York. However, when I stepped out to see our venue in New York I teared up because it felt just like we were in Greece thanks to Ariston. I will forever be grateful for their services.
John at Ariston was terrific--knowledgeable, helpful, personable, and aesthetically sensitive to all our concerns related to floral decoration for the wedding. He made stunning flo...
ral centerpieces and gorgeous bouquets that stayed within our budget. He is easy to work with and designed the centerpieces exactly in keeping with how we described the venue (The TWA Hotel) and envisioned the event—modern, retro, and classic all at once. He also supervised how it all came together the day of the wedding. We relied on his expertise, trusted him, and could not have been happier with how everything came out. I highly recommend Ariston to ANYONE seeking a florist for a wedding—or for any other occasion!
We used Ariston Flowers for our August 2021 wedding and couldn't be happier. John and his team were great to work with throughout the process, walking us through our various option...
s and responding to our questions in a very timely manner. On the wedding day, the team was very professional and made sure everything was where it needed to be. The flowers themselves were absolutely beautiful, we received compliments on them all night long. They went above and beyond to incorporate little details that we asked them to (e.g. tying my grandmother's ring to my floral bouquet). I would highly recommend them for your wedding floral needs!
Can anything be more stressful than getting married during COVID?? After date changes, venue changes etc. etc. We finally got married! I cannot say enough good things about the ent...

just one meeting, they were able to put together the arrangements of my dreams. They were super professional, friendly, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend!
I cannot say enough good things about Ariston. Every aspect was seamless. I met with 3 florists before making my decision. Theodore , our designer, was the most down to earth, ma...

Ariston is THE BEST. He came early, had everything set up promptly and did a beautiful job. The day before our wedding we forgot to ask for bouquets for the bridal party that was w...
alking down the aisle, and Ariston put an impressively beautiful arrangement together for each bridesmaid to hold. Every assortment was unique while following the pastel theme. We didn’t even micro manage Ariston and we were right to trust them! We gave them a general theme we were looking for for our wedding and he exceeded our expectations. Many people commented that our chuppah/alter was the most extravagant and beautiful they have ever seen. THANK YOU ARISTON!!!!!
Ariston is the absolute best. They listen to detail and give you EXACTLY what you want and more. Thank you Alex and your team you gave me my dream wedding.

ked in we knew this was the one we wanted for our wedding. I worked with Theodore and I must say he and his team are so talented. My bridal bouquet was the perfect compliment to my wedding dress. Our centerpieces were incredible!! All of our guests were raving about the stunning florals. The quality of flowers was exceptional as they lasted a full week after the wedding. I cannot recommend them enough!
Ariston did an incredible job for my daughters wedding in NYC! They took the time to listen to what we wanted and truly delivered beyond our expectations!
The bouquets were so beau...
tiful with a variety of different flowers , even though they were all white. The centerpieces were a perfect size for the tables and so full with silver mirror like vases that were glowing with the reflection of the candles! Our guests were loving all the flowers and rushing to take them home at the end of the night! I took the brides bouquet home and it lasted over a week , even though the flowers were out of water all day! They obviously use top quality flowers for their customers!
They clearly know how to dress up a venue!
The centerpieces were the perfect elegant touch to our beautiful venue. I received so many compliments on all of the flower arrangements because of the attention to detail. We coul...
d not have chosen a better florist for our special day and to top it off a number of guests commented that this was one of the most beautiful weddings they have ever attended.
I believe in giving credit where credit is due. It took me a while to find a florist mainly because of the cost and the quality and value of what is being rendered. I luckily found...
Ariston flowers by chance after I was walking out of dress fitting one day in NYC. NYC was a destination wedding for me. I had over 200 out of town guests a very large ballroom to fill. I loved Ariston from the moment I walked into their shop. I was greeted by Alex, my florist, with a warm smile and coffee. He is in my opinion the best. He was very gracious, knowledge and budget conscious. My centerpieces were outstanding as well as my bouquets. The day of he personally delivered my flowers to my hotel. He went to the church and set up my alter and aisle as well. Lastly, understanding we were on a budget, there was discrepancy on the final payment and he refunded us the difference even after it was paid in full. I can't say enough about his ethic, quality of work and delivery. Book Ariston for all you floral needs. They won't disappoint.
Ariston's flowers was our favorite part of our wedding! From the gorgeous tall cylinder vases down the aisle with candles and orchids, to the unique high low display on the escort ...
card table, to the bouquets and boutonnieres, to the exquisite reception center pieces and head table....EVERYTHING was perfection! They took the time to research the specific colors I was looking for and flew in flowers as needed to ensure it was exactly what I envisioned. If I could only recommend one vendor from my wedding...it would be Ariston Flowers! Thank you again!
Just WOW! We used Ariston for our wedding in Brooklyn and they knocked it out of the park. Everything from the personal flowers to the chuppah to the table arrangements were unbeli...

ust wanting to push their "creative designs" on me. I felt completely at ease with Thomas and the rest of the team, and they were very attentive and willing to work with me on my vision and with the budget I gave them. They even made my dream come true of having peonies in August! The flowers were truly gorgeous. I would recommend Ariston to anyone getting married.
I cannot say enough good things about Ariston Flowers. The flowers were so stunning, when I first saw them I started to cry. My chuppah literally took my breath away. I told Tom th...
e vague idea of what I wanted, and he transformed my ramblings int the most incredible arrangement I've ever seen. Every guest commented on the flowers.
If you can, you MUST use Ariston. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you Ariston for making my wedding so stunning.
We loved working with Thomas and his team at Ariston flowers for our wedding in July at Oheka Castle. They were patient, professional, and had an amazing eye for detail. Their work...
was flawless and helped to make our day special and memorable! They helped to accentuate the natural beauty of the venue while not overpowering the space. I was also absolutely in love with the bouquets as well! I highly recommend Ariston!
WOW. Ariston was one of the best vendors we worked with for our black tie wedding a couple of weeks ago. Thomas and team absolutely delivered flawless flowers that had all of our g...
uests catching their breaths. From the custom lucite chuppah with orchids to the STUNNING centerpieces, floating candles, and more, the team delivered a "look and feel" I could never have imagined. The team was so easy to work, very flexible, and friendly. We loved working with the Ariston team and really cannot recommend them enough.
Thomas and Theodore made my dreams come true! I showed them what I wanted and they did exactly what I wanted. Not only that, they went above and beyond for my wedding. For example,...
I had a chalkboard made for table seatings, when I got to the venue, I saw they put flowers on the chalkboard. It looked so great and it was such a wonderful surprise. They are experts and will tell you what will work and what won't work. They want the best for your event and they do the best. I work in the events industry and I would not have chosen another florist. Thy are AMAZING! Have no doubt about it and book them, they will make your dreams come true too.
My partner and I used Ariston for our wedding decor. We were married last month at the Lotte NY Palace. During our initial consultation we worked with Theo. What set him apart fro...
m other florists we met with, was his willingness to give us options to stay within our budget. We never felt like we were getting a sales pitch nor felt that we needed to spend more. He made suggestions were to spend our budget wisely and where it would have the most impact. Come wedding day we were blown away. The room was transformed and our guests complimented us for days! The quality of flowers was exceptional and the centerpieces looked fresh a week later. We cannot recommend Ariston enough!
I cannot speak highly enough about the service, quality and attention to detail Ariston Flowers provided leading up to and during our wedding! Their recommendations played out perf...
ectly and and the room looked like something out of a movie! They went above and beyond our expectations and made our special day a dream come true!!!
Ariston is simply the BEST. Out of all the vendors we used, Ariston gets the highest grade in our book. We worked with Theo for a series of events- my proposal at the Pierre, engag...
ement party at the Ritz Carlton Battery Park, bridal shower at the Lowell and finally our wedding at the Essex House. Every single time Theo and his team knocked it out of the park. They are super easy to work with and produced beautiful work consistently. I honestly want to have another event just so that I have something use Ariston for!
We worked with John and had a wonderful experience. After visiting so many florists we were refreshed to find the ease and professionalism at Ariston. We immediately felt comfortab...

Impeccable and first class service from start to finish. My wife and I worked closely with Theodore who was magnificent and knew how to narrowly tailor the specifics of our request...
s to suit our needs on our big day. And then, Ariston took it from there. The Ariston team was punctual and precise. The setup was majestic (around 25 wedding centerpieces with several other arrangements here and there) and that bouquet was beautiful. Couldn’t ask for a better company and would highly recommend to others without a doubt!!
I cannot sing the praises of Ariston enough. Over two weeks have gone by and I am still gushing over my bouquet and centerpieces!! I worked with Theo for our June wedding at the Vi...
llage Club at Lake Success in Great Neck, NY. Theo was not only extremely courteous and knowledgeable, but patient and fun to work with. He listened to what I wanted and gave great recommendations to bring my Pinterest inspiration boards to life. He made this such an easy, fun process and I am extremely grateful. The flowers were remarkably gorgeous, the colors and quality are op notch. I could not stop staring at my peony, garden rose, calla lily and orchid bouquet all night. Over one week later I was getting messages from my guests that the flowers they took home are thriving! This family owned company is the best in the business, they are amazing at what they do and you will be in great hands!
One of our best decisions was picking Ariston as our florist for our November wedding. They were extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire process. Everything was pu...
t together smoothly and on time which is so important on your wedding day. Most importantly, Ariston was able to transform the venue into something magical! I thank them for exceeding our expectations and blowing us away with their work.
Thomas and the Ariston team's professionalism is unparalleled and their work is absolutely stunning. I provided Thomas with inspiration, but what he and his team ultimately created...
greatly exceeded my expectations. He was familiar with the wedding planner and the actual rooms at the Harvard Club and handled all communication with them so I didn't have to. My guests still comment on how beautiful the flowers were in every room and the pictures are gorgeous. His creations made the event more special than I could ever imagine. Thank you Thomas and team!

Our wedding venue had a list of florist vendors they work with and Ariston was one of them.
Not knowing much about florists, we read some reviews to start and we decided to reach ...
out to them and see how it would go.
We were so glad we went! We worked directly with John and he was so wonderful from start to finish! He was very accommodating with everything we wanted, from colors that we wanted to include/exclude, to the absurd amounts of corsages and boutonnieres we asked them to make a week before the wedding. He works within your budget and even gave helpful suggestions on how to save some money on things we could cut down on.
When we saw the flowers the day of, we were floored! The flowers were GORGEOUS and we heard compliments all night long! John and his team worked seamlessly with our venue and everything looked wonderful! Although we changed some colors of the flowers at the last minute - John assured us it would all turn out wonderful - which it did!
We had a mix of high and low center pieces and John used them to decorate our Stage during the ceremony as well.
We highly recommend Ariston Flowers and John!
Theo and the team at Ariston did an incredible job for my wedding. We loved working with them. The flowers were so fresh and beautiful. We are so glad that we worked with them and ...
would highly recommend them. They were fantastic!
Working with John from Ariston Flowers was an amazing experience from the moment we stepped inside their Chelsea studio. My parents and I were welcomed and in front of us was a hug...
e beautiful arrangement that was exactly like the inspiration I had previously sent over to the team. Seeing the arrangement in person at my first appointment was all I needed to confirm I was making the best choice going with Ariston.
From then on John really saw my vision and he made a beautiful fall Chuppah and a spectacular entry arrangement that was more beautiful than he described and I could have ever imagined. Every last detail in the flowers and candles were taken care of for my wedding day. Any bride who doesn’t want to be stressed with their vendors should use Ariston Florist.
I will be using Ariston as my florist for everything from now on. –Thank you to the Ariston team!
We worked with Thomas for our recent NYC wedding and were blown away by his ability to execute our vision and completely tailor our ceremony & reception to our every wish. Our gues...
ts were blown away by the wedding arch, candelabras, table arrangements, flower urns, floating candles and a myriad of other arrangements sourced specially for our big day. Really enjoyed working with Thomas and the Ariston team and would highly recommend him for any couple in need of a top notch wedding florist. Simply the best!
We had the pleasure of working with Thomas and his team for our wedding on September 30th, 2017. Our mother is an interior designer, so needless to say, Thomas had his hands full...
. Well, for the first time ever, our Mom was speechless when she first walked in the church and double speechless when she walked into the reception. The level of comfort and professionalism that Thomas offered was priceless. He met us at the venue in the Hamptons months before the wedding and surprised us with actual centerpieces of pictures we had sent him. If you are looking for someone that truly cares and is amazing at what they do, then Ariston Flowers is your company. Highly recommend for any of your floral needs. Thank you Ariston for a job amazingly done.

ng about the centerpieces and they were even bigger and better than the original picture I sent. Most especially the bouquets came out incredible and mine was to die for. They really listened to our requests and helped to tie in all of the colors beautifully. I highly recommend Ariston for your flower needs.
Amazing!! I worked with Theo who took the time to sit and go through pictures and made sure he gave me exactly what I was looking for. My wedding was at the Village Club of Lake Su...
ccess where the Ariston team managed to build a beautiful arch for my ceremony space inside then re-use it behind my sweetheart table. In addition to the whole team being so professional and doing such a beautiful job, I was shocked at how long the flowers lasted after the wedding. I highly recommend Theo and the Ariston team!!
Fantastic time working with Theodore for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding in May 2017! From the first time I stepped into Ariston, I knew this was the place for me. They have a...
lovely storefront overflowing with all kinds of beautiful flowers and arrangements. Their location in the flower district was super convenient from my work and home, and Theodore never let me leave a meeting without a fresh bouquet of roses or carnations. I had to amend my order several times - adding table centerpieces, changing the arrangements for my rehearsal dinner, requesting additional boutonnieres for the grooms etc, they processed it efficiently and fairly every time. Setup for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding was super smooth and on time. Price-wise, they were only a tad more expensive than another place I seriously considered, but the upgrade in service and quality was well worth it. It's a family-run business and it's so evident that they all care about flowers so much. I can't recommend Ariston enough! Pick them to be your wedding-day florist - you won't regret it :)
Gorgeous flowers and the customer service is top notch. Highly recommended!
The scenery at my wedding day on April 23 2017 was magical and beautiful! I need to give the full credit to Ariston Florist. My guests at my wedding still compliment and rave abou...

on, and he was absolutely correct! My bouquet was flawless, as was the altar arch, sweetheart table, and centerpieces. His team went above and beyond, and even allowed us to keep the altar arch for our sweet heart table, instead of packing it away after the ceremony (which was incredibly nice of them)! A true pleasure to work with Thomas and his team, and we would recommend Ariston Flowers wholeheartedly.
Theo and the entire team at Ariston did a perfect job with my wedding. I received exactly what I asked for. My cascading bouquet was gorgeous.

ll of our flowers were. When I first saw the bouquets, the colors were slightly different than what I had expected, but looking back at pictures they were perfect – Thomas and his team knew exactly what they were doing and took the time to match colors to our venue and the lighting, as well as preserving what I wanted. Similarly, the tree for our escort card table was unlike what I had envisioned; it looked amazing on the table and received countless compliments. Thomas was so easy to work with and made sure we knew we were in good hands! I highly recommended Ariston for any of your floral needs now and in the future.
Ariston did the flowers for my wedding, and I couldn't have been happier. Thomas was super responsive, and easy to work with. He was able to bring my vision to life and I wouldn'...
t change a thing. I would recommend Thomas and Ariston to everyone getting married in the NYC area. Thanks again for making my dreams come true.
