Working with Rachel & Carla was an absolute pleasure. We spent months designing and personalizing our floral decor and style, and when my wedding day finally arrived, our flowers were STUNNING!
Throughout the whole floral design process, they...
were patient, transparent, and committed to help us nail our vision with multiple wow factors within budget.
From the variety of our blooms to the sophistication of our arrangements, our guests were admiring the elegance and lushness of our floral decor, as were we!
Response from the Vendor on 02/11/2022
Thank you for your beautiful review! We enjoyed every moment of your design planning and are so thrilled that you were happy with the end result. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!
Bride and Blossom put so much thought and detail into the florals for our wedding day. Initially - I didn't quite have a vision and was changing my mind on what I wanted - B&B was patient, and help me identify what my dream flowers were. The b...
outonnieres, bouquets, chuppah and table settings were absolutely BREATHTAKING - and by far exceeded my expectations!!! Standing under that gorgeous chuppah that they built was simply magical. Bride and Blossom's creations were truly a highlight of my wedding day, and I couldn't be happier with how it all came together.

Thank you for your thoughtful and lovely review! We truly enjoyed decorating for your beautiful wedding and are thrilled that you were so happy. Thank you for your trust in our team.
I hired Bride and Blossom for our May 20, 2022 wedding and they did not disappoint.
Carla was such a big help in bringing my vision to life. And although her and the team have been working insane hours to catch up with all the postponed weddin...

Bride & Blossom did deliver on the day of our wedding. Communication wasn't always flawless (non-responsive sometimes and only responsive when it is time to pay and very pushy when it is time for payment) but I have to admit at the end, the res...

ifficult times. We do need to make sure that the balances are covered prior to the wedding date when we place the flower order. We are glad that you were happy with the end result.
Rachel and Carla did a beautiful job at our wedding! The flowers were amazing. Everyone commented on how beautiful the chuppah was, and our jaws dropped when we walked into our reception after a room flip. The tall and low arrangements with the...
candles were stunning. We made some changes after our initial trial and were completely blown away the day of. Rachel and Carla were also accommodating with logistics. They ensured the chuppah was ready in time for us to take pictures before the ceremony and flipped the room for the reception. Looking back at photos, we are thrilled with how the floral arrangements turned out! They were truly picture perfect.

thank you for your beautiful review! Your colors and decor were beautiful and we are thrilled that you were so very happy.
We worked with Carla in late 2019/ early 2020 (pre-covid) to put together a comprehensive vision for our wedding at Angel Orensanz Foundation, originally scheduled for October 2020. We met with her in person twice, and Bride & Blossom put toget...
her several revised proposals for us until we felt the proposal was just right. As we were about to sign the contract in March 2020, the pandemic hit and all of the uncertainty of wedding planning made us hit the pause button on everything. Carla & Rachel were incredibly accommodating and let us keep our original pricing and put a soft hold on our postponed October 2021 date before they had even received a contract or deposit from us.
Carla & Rachel remained patient with us as we planned and replanned and overthought everything (and we asked for a lot from them!). Carla was great at translating our ambiguous ideas into reality, and during our sample appointment we had the opportunity to revise our centerpieces in real time. The end result turned out amazingly- from centerpieces to the chuppah to the bouquets to cocktail hour. They brought our modern, edgy floral vision to life in such a beautiful way, and everyone commented on how stunning it all looked. The final result at our wedding exceeded all of our expectations and we felt that it was worth every penny we spent.
Don't hesitate to hire Bride & Blossom- they are great at what they do!
Response from the Vendor on 11/16/2021
Thank you for your beautiful review and taking the time to provide such feedback! It's greatly appreciated. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness.
PLEASE NOTE: Rachel warned my mom and I about making any disparaging, false, or slanderous commentary against her, Carla, or their company as they “reserve any and all rights.” I will tell you that this review is 100% factual and honest and the...
refore I have no reservations about sharing my experience. I am expecting that they will respond to this review in a way that twists the story or puts the blame on the customer (as they seem to have done with the other negative reviews that are posted).
Though the flowers were indeed beautiful, not only would I not recommend this company, I would advise anyone that is considering using this company not to do so.
First and foremost, the job was incomplete, which is simply unacceptable when you have a once-in-a-lifetime event. After much back and forth, we decided to move forward with $1,600 flower arrangements that lined the aisle. Ultimately, what helped us make the decision to move forward with the extra expense, was that these arrangements would be repurposed after the ceremony and put in front of the band during the reception. This was written in the contract. On the day of the wedding, my mother even REMINDED the team on site about about this, which they acknowledged. They STILL did not do it and we were not given the option of taking these flowers after the event (as we did with the centerpieces). Therefore, as much as Rachel feels and says her team is “experienced” their behavior was negligent. They showed blatant disregard for what was contracted and for what was important to the customer.
Not only was the job incomplete, but Rachel’s efforts to quell our concerns and rectify the situation were poor at best. My mother first reached out in a respectful way to Carla, who we worked with throughout the process. Carla suggested that my mother reach out to Rachel, the owner. My mother left a voicemail for Rachel but ultimately had to follow-up again because Rachel didn’t return her call. When my mom connected with Rachel via email, her initial response was that Carla already briefed her on the situation. It was clear that she had no intention of reaching out to an unsatisfied customer, which is simply customer service 101. Her responses to my mother's email were completely unprofessional and lacked any business sense. She chose to blatantly ignore the fact that we were dissatisfied, showed zero empathy, and did not offer any compensation for her team's failure to do the job as was contractually agreed upon.
In addition to the actual wedding day, the entire process of working with Bride & Blossom was scattered and frustrating for us. While we were working through the invoicing and our final decisions with Carla, my husband and I had to go line by line, compare multiple drafts of the invoice, and do a lot of math to figure out the actual cost. I am thrilled that we did so, as the numbers were incorrect and actually off by thousands of dollars in their favor. I don't know what software they use for invoicing, but when a quantity was updated, it didn’t change the total amount. It was very inefficient and unprofessional.
While they consider their staff to be “experienced”, they clearly lack attention to detail in several ways. Additionally, the customer service that they provide is quite appalling. As an "experienced" team, they should know and care about how crucial these two things are in the wedding industry. It is clear to me (and some others per the reviews) that they do not.
Response from the Vendor on 11/13/2021
This review and Kate’s additional response to our reply comes as little surprise since both Kate and her mother tried repeatedly following their beautiful wedding to extort our team by threatening to cause damage to our reputation and business ...
if we did not refund her several thousand dollars that they did not deserve. In the over 12 years we have been in business and 1000 and counting weddings we have decorated there is only a tiny fraction of clients who are unhappy. We always strive to make our clients day picture perfect and provide excellent service but some people unfortunately cannot be pleased no matter what you do. When we make a mistake we acknowledge our error and do our best to right the wrong.
On the day of this wedding and leading up to the wedding Kate was very happy with our services, customer service and designs as evidenced by many emails and eye witness accounts. Our team was in close contact with her mother on the day of the wedding and received no negative feedback or requests to make any changes to the design which we would have been happy to accommodate if requested. Kate's mom never called or contacted Rachel as phone records would easily prove. She also did not send any email although she had our email address from prior correspondence. She did call Carla, our wedding director, several weeks after the wedding and her call was returned promptly. The basis for her call was that she was not happy with the manager on site the day of as she was expecting someone else. The manager in question was an absolutely lovely, talented and experienced African American lady who recently returned from maternity leave. Kate's mother took issue with the fact that this was the person managing her wedding and that she told her she was recently back at work. Our manager was taken aback that Kates mom was clearly not happy to have her managing the wedding when she apparently had expected someone else. Kate then went on the attack disparaging this manager and the team’s ability and professionalism which is disconcerting since we have never had a single complaint about this managers ability. She provided every element of decor as contracted for. It's notable how this was left out of Kate's initial review when her mother made this the central issue when she called Carla several weeks after the wedding.
They were provided with every single item as contracted down to the exact count of blooms. The flowers were fresh, plentiful and designed exactly as her design board depicted. The ceremony aisle flowers in question were provided to line the aisle and were absolutely stunning for the ceremony as well as the bridal processional and are a main focus in her images. Kate wanted these flowers moved to the reception after the ceremony but due to the flow of the wedding our team couldn't access the ceremony area to move the arrangements while guests were lingering and flowing in and out. Rachel and Carla apologize profusely for any disappointment caused. The flowers were present and available for family and guests alike to take home if desired. Since these flowers were not re-purposed Kate and her mother decided to demand a full refund despite the fact that they were provided for her ceremony as contracted. Our team does our best to re-purpose as a courtesy whenever possible but we do note on our contract that things are subject to change dependent on the situation day of.
There was an apparent issue with the balance totaling in one version of our contract as Kate was accommodated with nearly 10 revisions of her proposal. That was quickly remedied by our team. We have never over billed and would always reimburse if there was any error made on our parts. Our integrity is of the utmost importance. This was never brought to Rachel's attention until many weeks after the wedding and was simply used as an additional tool by which to attempt to threaten and extort which we do not take lightly. Our team went above and beyond to make her wedding beautiful even providing extra flowers and accents complimentary. The guests were wowed and we received wonderful feedback from the venue, vendors and guests alike.
Unfortunately after the devastation covid left on our industry as a whole, the difficulty we and many others experienced as a business to stay alive and the ongoing challenges we face with extreme shortages of supplies, product and labor one would hope that clients would have some perspective. Unfortunately, in this case the client has attacked us with such venom and malice and seeks to cause harm simply because she didn't receive a full refund for gorgeous flowers our team purchased, designed and provided for her wedding. She was so lovely to work with all along we wish we had seen her true nature from the onset and not taken on her wedding. Despite that we are proud of the work we provided for her wedding and the video and images from of the decor tell the story.
Bride and Blossom was great! Carla was so helpful in helping me execute my vision, she provided helpful guidance when I needed it and made adjustments with my feedback. I appreciated that they worked with my budget, they never pressured me to a...
dd more unnecessarily. The flowers turned out great. I got so many compliments on all the florals. Carla and her team brought what I had in my head to life! Also, I was skeptical if I needed the additional candles on the tables but I am glad I listened to them and added them because they really did add the ambiance the room needed.
Response from the Vendor on 10/10/2021
Thank you for your lovely review and confidence in our team to decorate for your beautiful wedding. We truly appreciate your business and wish you a lifetime of happiness and love together.
Before we get into anything else, the actual work that was done at our wedding was beautiful and we have zero complaints on their ability to put together beautiful floral arraignments.
However....the communication, or lack there of, was the mo...
st stressful part of our entire wedding. Often times I would go weeks without getting a response, even after following up several times. The communication was so poor that we had to enlist the venue to start following up with them to get the answers and sign offs we needed.
Ultimately if we were to do it again we would have chosen another vendor. We felt like we were were not prioritized as clients and the communication issues persisted for so long we actually had to start reaching out to other florists as a back up within 3 weeks of the wedding. The unnecessary frustration and stress that this caused was not worth the end result.

ur special day. We pride ourselves on great communication and excellent customer service
We as an industry have been devastated as a result of the shutdowns and closures and have sustained loses for almost 2 years. This has been the most challenging season we have ever experienced in over 12 years of business with mostly wonderful reviews and nearly 1000 weddings completed. We have experienced a sudden surge of many, many rescheduled weddings all at once from 2020 and early 2021 plus our new clients. Add to that extreme shortages in our industry of labor, flowers and supplies due to the shutdowns and lack of production during Covid. We have had to triage weddings and events that are fast approaching and ask clients with dates farther out to bear with us on their revisions. We have done everything possible to stay afloat and provide beautiful décor often working around the clock.
With the pandemic, we faced a LOT of changes with vision, budget, etc., and had certain requests for how we were billed. Bride and Blossom delivered for everything. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and saw my vision throughout, despi...

th it and brought it to life. The flowers were elegant and enhanced the natural beauty of the space which is what we were looking for. Importantly for set up on the day of the wedding, we did not even lift a finger - Bride and Blossom really took it away and set up everything on their own and did a perfect job doing it which is invaluable when you have so much going on. We highly recommend using Bride and Blossom for your wedding!

So glad I decided to work with Carla and B&B and would highly recommend!

tions about how to adapt the arrangements to our specific venue. Our venue (and date) changed 3 times due to covid and Carla guided us with the same attention to detail and enthusiasm each time.
The flowers, centerpieces, votives, etc really brought our ceremony and reception to life. They were absolutely incredible, and I wish that I could keep each arrangement forever! To me, the most impressive part was that although the florals were very similar to the ideas we had discussed and images we had looked through, the final product still had a unique flair that made it completely non-generic and special.
We chose Bride & Blossom because of their great taste, sense of color, and overall design sensibilities. They made it so easy to share ideas with them, and to trust them on things we weren't certain about.
In addition to their beautiful work, they were flexible, professional, and wonderful to work with. I couldn't recommend them more!

She took the time to go through multiple re-designs in connection with the postponement and changes to the set up, and helped us to attain our vision within our budget.

Response from the Vendor on 08/26/2020
Thank you so much! We loved bringing your vision to life. Huge congrats!
We started planning our wedding as soon as we were engaged. Once we determined on our venue, the venue provided us with a listing of their preferred vendors and Bride and Blossom was one of them. I reached out immediately after reviewing their ...
website.
I first met with Eliana for a consultation. Their 3rd Avenue office is centrally located and beautiful. I came to the consultation armed with pictures, color swatches, theme and color palette. Eliana asked me several questions about my style and how I envisioned the day. She took copious notes. Within a couple of days I received the "vision" board for the flowers for the wedding and was blown away. Not only did she capture the essence of what I was aiming for the digital mock ups were beautiful.
Bride and Blossom worked with my budget and were the consummate vendor. Their work is artful, visionary and beautiful. I highly recommend them!
The Bride and Blossom team was able to capture our vision and make it look elegant. The team was punctual, detailed, and responsive in working with our venue. Exceeded our expectations.

We loved working with you to bring your vision to life, thank you for your confidence in our team! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness.
Bride and Blossom used quality flowers and most of the flowers at our wedding were beautiful. However, some of the arrangements did not match what I wanted (and my husband’s boutonnière was sadly wilted by the ceremony).
My biggest issue was ...
that B&B states that their “formulas” tell brides exactly what they are paying for, but brides with no floral experience will find it difficult to read floral formulas and picture the results in real life. I used pictures and descriptions to communicate my desires and trusted my vendor professionals to carry out the vision. Like most brides, I was able to communicate to every other vendor exactly what I wanted using this method. I tried to do this with B&B by communicating through dozens of pictures and emails, but I felt like I wasn’t really being listened to.
In the end, I spent enough money to get a “free” sample but was surprised that it was not at all what I wanted. I told them that our wedding colors were ivory, mauve, and burgundy. The sample they set up had mostly pink, purple, and green flowers. While we “fixed” it so the colors were acceptable, the price went up again and the aesthetic wasn’t completely in line with the vision I felt I had clearly communicated at the beginning. If I had not had a chance to preview the flowers due to my high spend, I would have been very disappointed.
Finally, I felt misled about an item we agreed upon in email correspondence (as well as in my consultation) but ended up coming out different at the wedding. I noticed it immediately when I walked into my wedding so I brought it up right then. Rachel was on site and assured my DOC that it was right. After the wedding, I emailed Rachel about my disappointment and included supporting prior email correspondence about the item. Rachel was nice in her responses, but dismissed the emails indicating that there had been a mistake. Instead, she pointed to their formula and effectively said that I got the flowers I paid for. While that very well might have been true, I didn’t get what I asked for and felt had been agreed upon.
Response from the Vendor on 11/25/2019
We appreciate the feedback and apologize for any miscommunication or disappointment. We provide transparent proposals unlike any other vendor in the industry so that couples know what to expect vs what they are paying. We also provide detailed ...
descriptions along with comprehensive design boards featuring the exact flowers and colors selected. Before our sample we confirm that the colors and flowers selected are aligned with the vision but unfortunately, some client's don't take the time to thoroughly review the documents provided.
The arrangement pricing increased following the sample because many more blooms were requested as the bride wanted the arrangements larger. We try to stick to our client's budget and provide options at varied price points. Whether the budget is average such as this wedding, low or high we give the same amount of attention and customer service to each of our couples weddings.
The bride contracted for 50' of greenery and floral coverage for her ceremony which was clearly stated but was expecting double that amount. We ask that our couples read their contracts thoroughly prior to signing so that we can correct any inaccuracies then.
Rachel and her team were an absolute joy to work with. They delivered everything we envisioned and more! Rachel was very collaborative and had amazing suggestions while also working within our budget to get us the elegant look that we wanted. ...
My bouquet was beyond stunning and the flower arrangements and centerpeices were absolutely gorgeous: completely reflecting our vision. The entire process was organized, easy and stress free! I highly recommend Bride and Blossom!
Response from the Vendor on 10/08/2019
thank you for your wonderful review! We really enjoyed working together to bring your vision to life.
It was great working with Bride and Blossom, especially as a bride and groom without a wedding planner. They understood our vision, found examples and brought our ideas to life. They were in constant contact with us to make sure every detail wa...
s in order for our big day and tweaked the proposal with every change we made. They were willing to work with our budget and found ways for us to save in some areas by either repurposing flowers or using different materials. On the actual wedding day, at first there was a little bit of confusion when they arrived, which was a little scary for me as a bride on my big day. They were missing materials for our flower wall due to some miscommunication and some of the rose petals were of a different color than we requested. I was disappointed because the staff that day was not anyone I previously coordinated with during the planning process. Nevertheless, they quickly found a solution and we had the most beautiful setup for our day. Everything was in order at the right time. The flower wall was executed perfectly and they found a way to make the petals blend with our theme. People were raving about how big and full our arrangements were and how fresh the flowers looked and smelled. I was absolutely in love with my bouquet and so were the bridesmaids. The ceremony setup literally took my breath away and I truly felt like I was in a dream. Bride and Blossom really helped make our day so special. It is really hard to find florist who can execute your vision with quality. I highly recommend them!
Response from the Vendor on 10/07/2019

Thank you so much for your beautiful review! We loved decorating Jamie's beautiful wedding.
I found Rachel through my wedding venue, The New York Botanical Garden. At our first meeting Rachel and Carla pulled up my Pinterest board on a big screen in their offices which I LOVED! Bride & Blossom took a look at my vision and then added o...
nto it in the most beautiful way. I knew I wanted to keep things simple and they definitely executed on my aesthetic.
Probably the best thing about working with B&B was their itemized proposal which included the exact number of stems, bunches, blooms etc. that were in each arrangement and the pricing for each. As a visual person I thought that this proposal and the inspiration boards for each item were extremely helpful.
Rachel and Carla happily made adjustments for me throughout the process and as we got closer to our big day! I was even surprised to see Rachel herself working away on my wedding day. She delivered the personals to my hotel suite and I also saw her at my venue later in the day.
Thank you Rachel, Carla and the whole Bride & Blossom team for making our wedding even better than we ever could have imagined!

Thank you for your beautiful review! We really loved working with you to bring your vision to life and appreciate your feedback on our process and team.
I'm so thrilled to have found Bride & Blossom to do my flowers for my wedding! I had initially contacted a few other local vendors (I got married in CT) and was not impressed. What I initially loved about Bride & Blossom was their ability to ab...
le to create flowers for a variety of different styled events and they're realistic expectations about my budget. I was really impressed with this team's professionalism and responsiveness throughout the planning process. I don't know a lot about flowers so I didn't really give them much of a vision to work with at first and they still managed to help me create the flower arrangements of my dreams! The final product was absolutely stunning and I received a ton of compliments! Highly recommend to any bride in the NY/CT area!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/10/2019
Thank you for your beautiful review! It means so much to hear such wonderful feedback.
I feel so lucky to have found Bride & Blossom! I found that finding a florist was one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning, as there are so many options and so many florists gave me very high quotes once they heard the size of my wed...
ding. Once I met with Rachel I felt at ease, as she completely understood my vision. She took the time to go through each part of the wedding day, discussed the flowers needed, and found inspirational photos for each. She created a detailed proposal that helped us to understand the pricing and flowers used in each centerpiece, bouquet, boutonniere, etc. Rachel and Carla were both extremely responsive to every email, and they helped me coordinate rental tables and linens as well.
Seeing the flowers come to life was one of my favorite parts of the wedding and we received so many compliments. Thank you to Bride & Blossom!

ceeded all of our expectations and when I saw our beautiful huppah for the first time I cried happy tears!
Wedding planning can be stressful and sometimes it feels like vendors overcharge you just because they can. While other florists I spoke with tried to over sell me, Rachel was transparent from the start that flowers and wedding decor can be absolutely stunning within my budget. She then turned my vision into life, modifying things if I had a change of heart and providing her honest feedback and design expertise. She was more than professional - answering every phone call and email in a timely fashion - but also warm and thoughtful in every conversation. Rachel truly was one of my favorite people to work with throughout this wedding process and our wedding was the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. You will not regret hiring Bride and Blossom!!

we wanted. The planning process was so organized and we felt like Rachel really understood the look that we were going for. She created a "look book" for us, which made it easy to pick the plants/flowers that we liked and that were within our budget. This also made it so easy to visualize the final product and to assure that we were on the same page. The entire process was smooth and stress free. Highly recommend Bride&Blossom!

Thank you for your fabulous review! We truly appreciate it and loved working together to bring your vision to life.
Working with the Bride & Blossom team was really great. They were professional and really executed on the vision of our floral arrangements. My bouquet was gorgeous, albeit a little smaller than I anticipated, but still stunning. My only real c...
omplaint was that the corsages and boutonnieres were a little shabby. From the moment we removed them from their boxes, the flower petals started to fall off and the flowers themselves weren't securely arranged. They barely lasted through photos.
Response from the Vendor on 02/15/2019
It was a pleasure working with you as well! Thank you for your kind feedback on our team and overall design.
The bridal bouquet was approx. 12" wide which was outlined on your proposal and is a standard size. We apologize that it wasn't as la...
rge as you were envisioning.
In terms of the boutonnieres and corsages, we provided an extra set using spray roses in addition to the anenomes since they are more delicate blooms. The personals were delivered at 230 though requested by 4 and unlike centerpieces or even bouquets can't be kept in water once they are designed. Our team was on site setting up and would have been happy to provide replacement if we had been advised.
Thank you again for your feedback and we wish you a lifetime of happiness.
Rachel and her team were absolutely tremendous and surpassed all of our expectations. Rachel was collaborative and shared some great design/layout ideas that we were delighted to incorporate into our final vision. I would recommend Bride and Bl...

From the first time I met Rachel in the studio in Manhattan I knew she would be able to help me achieve my floral dreams for our wedding. She took all of my saved Pinterest photos and put in a shared folder and added some more of her own that s...
he thought I would like. She really took the time to understand exactly my vision for the day.
We went through each floral piece and discussed the flowers and their cost. She easily substituted different flower types for me when I wasn't crazy about 'droopy' looking flowers. Rachel was able to personalize each flower to help me achieve romantic looking arrangements. My mom and I decided to buy our own vases for the wedding and Rachel let us do this with no problem.
About 1.5 weeks before the wedding we decided to add in a chuppah when we discovered our church allowed it. And it was not a problem at all for Rachel and team to add in the chuppah and build it!
I'd absolutely recommend Rachel and team to anyone in the New York tristate area!

WOW... simply wow! Going into my wedding, flowers were definitely my #1 priority and Bride & Blossom really helped make my floral dreams a reality. They created the most beautiful flower arrangements for my wedding -- from the bouquets to our c...
eremony to the reception centerpieces -- every detail was absolute perfection. The team was amazing to work with. From the very start - they just got it. They put together a floral inspiration board to really help me visualize how everything would come together and in the end it looked even better than I had originally imagined. A few weeks before our wedding, we met with the Bride & Blossom team for a floral sampling and got to bring our centerpieces home and enjoy the flowers. The team was so responsive and such a pleasure to work with. They really helped make our wedding day the most special experience ever and I'll be forever grateful.

My wedding couldn't be so beautiful without Bride & Blossom. All the staff are professional, kind and flexible.
Bride & Blossom was one of the easiest and enjoyable parts of our wedding planning experience. The team was extremely professional, dedicated, flexible, and transparent every step of the way and made a daunting task truly seem completely effort...
less.
Only 6 weeks out (!!!) from our wedding in a large raw space, we began speaking with B&B who helped quickly design and transform the massive space into our ideal aesthetic and wedding vision. They quickly understood our aesthetic and desired feel and produced the perfect decor. Not to mention, we can't stop dreaming of the gorgeous head table arrangement they created.
We couldn't recommend them enough. What a wonderful and expert team.

Seeing everything from my insane bridal bouquet to the alter pieces in Church to the reception room - I was completely floored but how stunning my floral decor looked and how well the team executed my vision. Admittedly, I can be very picky but everything was on point. I would highly, highly recommend anyone to Bride and Blossom.
We hired Bride & Blossom through our event production company, Medium Rare NYC, for the planning of an extraordinary Wedding that took place on 4/14/18 at the Bronx Post Office.
We cannot say enough kind words about the quality of their work, ...
professionalism and dedication to their craft and our event. We had only 3 months to put together a wedding for 275 people and Bride & Blossom took on the challenge and exceeded our wildest expectations.
We highly recommend their services and look forward to working with them in the future.
Special thanks to Rachel, Schuyler and Elianna for their incredible work over the last few months.

Response from the Vendor on 01/10/2018
Thank you for spending the time to write your review, we are so thrilled to hear your positive feedback. We wish you all the best, Congratulations!
Rachel and her team were nothing but a pleasure to work with. We had met with several florists prior to finding Rachel and no one made us feel more secure than her and her team. We were extremely excited about working with her on our first meet...
ing alone. She knew exactly what look I was going for and helped to put an inspiration board together. On my wedding day, although I asked for white callalilies for my bouquet, they came out greenish and just not as white as I would have hoped. I was unhappy with the bouquet and my wedding planner spoke to Rachel that day who quickly sent over a fresh bouquet to my hotel while I was getting ready. I was so thankful she did that for me and it really goes to show how much she cares for her clients! My centerpieces were another thing I was very particular on. We had a bunch of meetings to discuss them and I was so excited to see them perfectly executed on my wedding day. They were HUGE and made such a statement!!! Same with the hanging flowers over my dance floor - Rachel knew exactly what I was going for and executed it to perfection. The only negative thing I could say about the florals for that day was my chuppah. It was my least favorite as I thought it looked very bare and a little too simplistic. I wanted Lucite on the sides which was executed perfectly but just wish the top portion of hydrangea was bulkier and had the orchids hanging a little bit lower. With that being said, it was still beautiful just not what I had envisioned. Overall, I would 100% recommend Rachel and her team! They are extremely pleasant to work with, professional, and really know how to listen to client requests. I hope to someday work with Rachel and her team again in the future :)

y with. In terms of the Chuppah, we provide detailed images and the count of the flowers but it may be difficult for some clients to visualize since we can’t mockup a structure in advance of the wedding date. Lucite Chuppah structures are more contemporary and minimalistic in general.
We are so thrilled that you were overall very happy with your wedding day and experience with Bride & Blossom. We wish you all the best, and many happy years to come!

Thank you for the review, congratulations to you both!
Rachel and her entire team are incredible, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding florist! Rachel was the second florist I sat down with, and my fiancé and I knew we were done looking from the first visit. I d...
idn't really have a vision at first, and Rachel was so patient and professional, going over every option with me. She understood what I was talking about, and it always felt like we were on the same page. Rachel also knew our budget from the beginning, and stuck within our budget when sending us a proposal (whereas the first florist we visited sent us a proposal around $5,000 over our initial budget). Fast forward to the preview of our flowers, Eliana was just wonderful. My vision had changed from our first meeting with Rachel, and Eliana was great at modifying the flowers to make them exactly as I now pictured. When I went back for a second preview, everything was absolutely perfect, and every new detail we discussed was included. I must have spoken to Rachel and Eliana about 100 times between the first and second floral preview, and they were so attentive and quick to respond throughout every phone call or email. I can't imagine other florists giving the level of attention and care they provide. I walked into the reception room at my wedding and was in awe of the magnificent job they had done. Everything was absolutely perfect. I still can’t stop talking about my chuppah, or looking at pictures of it. It was everything I could have dreamed of and more. I also had no idea Eliana would be there the day of my wedding, which was an amazing surprise, because I felt so comfortable knowing she knew exactly the look I was going for and that she was who I had been working directly with. I really cannot recommend Bride & Blossom enough!

ickling down into the lucite! It was exactly what we had envisioned, but honestly it was even better than expected. It all gave such an interesting contemporary look to the space, but was simultaneously so elegant and romantic. The combination of this was so interesting and stunning. And then dancing under the roses and little globes all night was truly ideal. You really pulled this off so well (even with Guastavinos' high ceiling) and the overall look added a unique softness to the dramatic space. It was so special. Our guests can't stop talking about it (and posting photos of it!)
The staircase looked beautiful and three different centerpieces were so elegant, as were the card and family photo tables downstairs. I loved my bouquet, as well as the bridesmaids' flowers and the boutonnieres. Thank you SO much for bringing our vision to life and executing so well. We had the best night ever!

Response from the Vendor on 11/06/2017
Thank you for taking the time to review us, we truly appreciate it! Congratulations!
It is only now, months after my wedding that I feel ready to write this review. Bride & Blossom did not provide many of the items we paid for, and others were left either incomplete, or wilting. We paid for a floral arch around the chuppah, whi...
ch I told Rachel many times was the most important thing, as I have always dreamed of having a floral arch at my wedding and they only covered the top with 1/4 of the flowers contracted, and left it looking haphazard. We paid for corsages for our mothers, and they were never given to them. Our bridesmaids bouquets were falling apart and browning. Groomsmen boutonnieres were not given to us until after photos had been taken and were also limp and falling apart. There is actually a picture from our reception of us laughing that my husband's boutonniere had completely obliterated and left pieces all over our sweetheart table.
Another thing Rachel claims is that the nature of the flowers were very delicate. She is a professional florist and I took all of her recommendations. She did not once mention that this would be a risk with the flowers she had selected for me. She also tried to claim that my flowers had wilted because it was a hot day. The day was unseasonably cool- look up the weather for Brooklyn NY on August 6,2017. Weather reports do not lie. Rachel does. (Even if it had been hot, summer is wedding season- shouldn't a professional florist know how to keep flowers alive for summer weddings?)
I was also accused by the person they had sent to "oversee" the setup of demanding out of season flowers- this was a blatant lie and Rachel even admitted so.
Days after the wedding, I had still not been contacted by Rachel, which is very unprofessional for any business owner who has been left with an unhappy client. When I first called, I was initially hung up on. After leaving a voicemail saying that I would keep calling until someone picked up, Rachel picked up after many attempts and the first thing she did was scream at me that I was a psycho. Trust me, I REALLY wish I did not need to call so many times to be answered .
Initially, out of principle, we requested a refund. On my wedding day, I married the love of my life. All of my other vendors were AMAZING. I did not want to spend any more time of my life recounting the one negative part of the day. My parents are very wealthy. My husband and I do very well for ourselves. The money means NOTHING to me or my family so we backed off. At this point, we do not want any money from Rachel. She can keep the money she saved from services not rendered. I am only writing this review because I I want to help other women avoid the horrible experience I had.
Rachel tries t to make us seem like money grabbers. As I've said, we do not want or need any money. This amount of money is literally nothing to us. What reason would I have to be leaving this review of the vendor who I had initially been the most excited about? I am happy to share photos of our proposal and the results we were given to anyone who is considering Bride and Blossom for their upcoming wedding - just message me.

many wonderful reviews from our clients. This particular client came to us after firing her first florist because she was unhappy with their sample.
The mother of this bride left a similarly untruthful review and sent us multiple emails containing inconsistent stories and extortive threats in an attempt to get a full refund though thousands worth of fresh and beautiful flowers, supplies and labor were supplied for her wedding. Every item contracted for was delivered and is evidenced by hundreds of documented images and video, both from our archives and the photographer.
It is not uncommon for a groom’s boutonniere to be damaged by the end of the reception since he has likely hugged hundreds of people at that point and the blooms attached to his lapel are delicate. They are also natural flowers and are out of water at that point for over 8 hours, unlike centerpieces which are made in foam or water for hydration. There were no out of season flowers provided for this wedding and our manager never noted otherwise. Our proposals detail each bloom included and we rarely use non-seasonal blooms in our designs as they are poor quality.
Despite the bride’s inaccurate statements, Rachel and Elianna, both managers of the company, spoke to the bride for an hour starting at 10am on the Monday morning following her Sunday evening wedding. This bride called the business line and our cell phones over 30 times in a row, spanning a couple of minutes, without leaving a voicemail. Upon receiving these missed calls, she was called back promptly.
We appreciate all of our clients and provide the same excellent service regardless of budget. Though this bride and her mother have noted their wealth on multiple occasions that is irrelevant to us, we cater to our weddings with the same professionalism regardless of spend. We also respond promptly to our clients throughout the entire design process as evidenced by many of the positive reviews we have received.
If there are any questions regarding this client we encourage all prospective clients to reach out to us through The Knot or 646-706-7783. We would also be happy to share any images and other information requested. We care deeply about each of our weddings and sincerely appreciate the trust and confidence placed in us. We are sorry that this client had a negative experience despite all we did to bring her vision to life.
Beautiful job and incredibly helpful! They completely transformed our space and all the bouquets were gorgeous.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback!
Working with Rachel and team over at Bride and Blossom was a dream - starting out in the process I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted and Rachel calmly and patiently guided me through the process and to the final look with calla lilies and tulip...
s. There was no wrong answer and was always quick on email. I would strongly and highly recommend them to any bride, especially as I work in events and trusted them... never worried about anything day of they were on time, broke down... everything looked EXACTLY the way we discussed if not better than we even imagined. Thank you so very much!!!

You are so welcome! Congratulations to you both!!
My new husband and I could not be happier with Bride & Blossom. Rachel and Elianna were very reliable, hardworking and kind. They understood our vision from the start and were able to adapt what we wanted into something so beautiful. We are so ...
happy with the end result! They surpassed our expectations and made our dream wedding a reality. They were a pleasure to work with and come highly recommended!
I was absolutely in love with my bouquet. Everything from the candles to the centerpieces gave the most beautiful touch of romance and elegance to the wedding and was exactly the look I was going for. Upon first seeing the decor, I was able to ...
take a deep sigh of relief that everything came together exactly how I envisioned and that it evoked the feelings that perfectly complimented the love and energy of the day. Thank you!

Thank you so much, it was our pleasure. Congratulations!
Working with Rachel, Elianna, and the rest of the team at Bride & Blossom was such a pleasure! They truly helped our vision come to life and we received so many compliments on every detail - even from the venue after we had to negotiate not to...
use a required florist on their list. Given we just moved out of state and were located halfway across the country, planning a destination wedding for ourselves and working through all of the details felt a bit scary. We spoke over the phone with many florists, and even had a required list of florists to use for our venue but we still weren't finding the right fit. After speaking with Rachel over the phone, and then getting to meet in person, we knew our decision has been made. Rachel and Elianna made us feel comfortable, confident, and thrilled with everything we were hoping for on our wedding day. The whole process from start to finish was made seamless - the proposal and pricing was clear cut without any hidden costs, the photos and detail of arrangements/decor are exactly what you get, and even when there were changes to be made or questions/concerns, the communication was so quick and easy. Bride & Blossom was absolutely wonderful and we absolutely recommend using them for any of your needs!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We enjoyed working with you
We had such a great experience with Rachel, Elianna and the rest of the Bride and Blossom team! I knew from the start what my vision was, and from the moment we me with the team, they immediately picked up on our vision and put it together per...
fectly. When we went to do our "trial" and I decided I wanted to change things, they made it super easy and were able to move things around right in front of us until I was happy. They were patient with any changes we made, and overall made the day wonderful. In the end they even had extra orchids and gave us a complimentary extra vase for our card table that we had never expected! Overall we had a great experience with them and would absolutely recommend!

COMPLETELY IGNORED WHAT WAS AGREED, CONTRACTED, PAID FOR, LEAVING BRIDE CRYING ON WEDDING DAY! BE AWARE! I am the mother of the bride. We arrived at venue on wedding day and thought the arrangements were left from an earlier wedding. Flowers w...
ere limp, brown-edged, petals falling out, and bouquets had gray and beige limp, dying roses, not the bright colors chosen and looking suitable for a funeral. Several of the items ordered were simply never delivered. When I asked to speak with Rachel or Eliana (Rachel had promised that one of them always goes to each event), I was told they weren't coming. The young lady from their company was sympathetic and acknowledged that the flowers were in bad shape. She told me she would contact Rachel and have her call me, and see if she could get new flowers 3 hours before ceremony. When I didn't hear after an hour, I called and left a vm and emailed Rachel with "Emergency" in the subject bar. No response. We spent the next hours trying to rework the centerpieces and reach Rachel. Hair and makeup were cut short, and due to the chaos this created, the photographer did not even have time to take portraits of my daughter. Need to fix flowers delayed the ceremony by 45 minutes, and when my daughter started to walk down the aisle she saw that the canopy was not at all what we contracted and paid for. It was supposed to be covered with flowers both on top and on both legs. Instead, there were only flowers on the top, with raw wooden legs with no flowers at all. Later I was told by my guests that they only started constructing the canopy at 6 PM when all my guests were sitting there - very unprofessional. It was only because the problems they caused delayed the wedding, or there would have been no canopy at all. All of this created anguish and unhappiness for my daughter on what should have been a wonderful day. We never heard from Rachel or Eliana by the time the wedding started, and the next morning I saw that Rachel had sent me an email at 9:38 PM, well after anything could be done. No one ever called the next day to apologize or inquire about the situation, and when my daughter called her two days later, she hung up on her, and only picked up after my daughter told her she was going to keep calling until she picked up. An honest, legitimate businessperson does not need to hide from their customers. When she finally picked up, instead of apologizing, she immediately started screaming, calling my daughter names and threatening her. When I sent an email of complaint, she called me, made a thousand lame excuses, denied the problems, screamed at me and called me names also. She told me the wedding planner had told her everything was fine. When I later emailed the planner, she told me that what Rachel said was a complete lie. We came to them in part because everything was specified in the contract down to the stem. This did not prevent Bride & Blossom from ignoring what was contracted and paid for in advance, supplying dead flowers, flowers different than what was agreed, and simply not supplying many items paid for, such as the unfinished canopy. We paid them $12,000 in advance, but once paid, they felt no obligation to fulfill their contract or communicate with us. Very mean and cold! Look and you'll see, this happened to others. In her reply, she says we came to her after leaving another florist. Completely fabricated! Don't end up crying like my daughter!
Response from the Vendor on 09/12/2017
It was a mistake to take on this client after they walked away from another florist because they were unhappy. We take great pride in the quality of our work and have decorated over 800 beautiful weddings with lovely brides. We are truly sadden...
ed to hear that this bride was also unhappy on her wedding day.
Cut flowers can sometimes be delicate, and while it’s rare that we have any issues with our flowers, we had one variety of dahlia that didn’t last through the day and needed to be removed from the personals. Our flowers are fresh and ordered specifically for each wedding and we always have extra flowers on hand in case any replacements or alternations are needed. Despite these allegations, the pictures of the flowers from the wedding tell the story. As explained to this mother, arrangements that are halfway complete and just being loaded in aren’t representative of the finished product. The bride herself told us on two occasions that the centerpieces looked good.
We provide design boards featuring the exact shade of blooms being used in each arrangement along with inspiration images. The bride approved a shade of lavender rose featured prominently on her board that was identical to the one used on the day of her wedding. We then received an email from the mother stating that the rose we used was a funeral flower. We were accused of putting onions on the cocktail tables but upon further investigation learned that they belonged to the caterer. The mother also claimed that all sorts of items were missing from the wedding including floating candles on the tables but the images all feature the candles.
Our seasoned team of 6 led by our manager were on site for this wedding and in constant contact with the bride, mother and wedding planner throughout the day. Rachel and Elianna spoke to the planner and did everything possible to remedy the situation including sourcing additional flowers on a Sunday evening to add to the arrangements.
Two days after the wedding, we get a total of 34 missed calls within 5 minutes with no message from an unknown number. We tried to call it back but it went right to voicemail and there was no personal message. We finally reached the bride and had a civil, hour long conversation with her. A day later, the mother sent over a threatening email demanding a full refund though they received personals, ceremony and chuppah décor, and many large, tall centerpieces as contracted. She asked if we “knew who we were dealing with”, touted her professional achievements, resources, legal connections and vowed to launch a “major multi-faceted initiative” if we didn’t comply with her outrageous demands. We called the mother and left off that we would reply with what we could do for them, but before we had the opportunity to reply, she began her attack.
We care deeply about our work, reputation and do our best to make our bride’s dreams a reality. Unfortunately, in life, there will always be those that aren’t happy for a variety of reasons. We wish this bride and her family all the best and sincerely apologize for any stress unwittingly caused on her wedding day.
It took a good bit of back and forth, emailed details, screen shots of photos and exact names of flowers, to achieve my vision as bride. Our first arrangement was not in line with the discussed vision. But after greater communication and visual...
s, the second arrangement was absolutely PERFECT. On the big day, our wedding flowers were a dream come true. Lush, full, beautiful flowers - our guests are still talking about the flowers. I will never forget how beautiful they were!

ng about our flower arrangements and they are so delighted to bring them home after the wedding. My favorite was what they did in our ceremony. The way they put all the loose petals in the aisle was perfect and it made more romantic with the NYC skyline view. Aaahhh it was a perfect moment for us. Thank you so much!!!!

Bride & Blossom made our wedding day absolutely stunning and a truly magical day! From our early meetings, I knew Rachel, Elianna and their team would do amazing work. They were extremely helpful, great listeners, detail-oriented, and very resp...
onsive with creative ideas and beautiful design concepts. They were also very accommodating every time I had an edit or new idea leading up to the big day. My initial perception of Bride & Blossom was more than accurate. When the wedding day finally arrived, they were on-site bright and early to deliver gorgeous wedding party arrangements, and to set up the elaborate ceremony and reception displays well before guests arrived. Their professionalism and work ethic helped make our day not only relaxing (for us) but super special. Everything turned out better than I could have imagined and far exceeded my expectations (which were high to begin with). Simply stated, our wedding day flowers were beyond BEAUTIFUL! Rachel, Elianna and the Bride & Blossom team were wonderful to work with from start to finish. (My guests are still talking about the flowers and how amazing they were, and the pictures of their works-of-art are now priceless and will be forever cherished!) Thank you for everything Bride & Blossom!!

Bride & Blossom did an absolutely beautiful job for our wedding from start to finish. I was recommended by my cousin who worked with Bride & Blossom for her wedding and had n0thing but great things to say about their work. From my first meeting...
, Rachel was lovely and was able to interpret my vision even though I was having trouble articulating it. We pulled up my Pinterest board and had a relaxed conversation in her beautiful NYC office. I then had a follow up meeting months later with Elianna who was a pleasure to meet with. The day of the wedding our venue looked so beautiful, I couldn't have been happier with how Rachel and her team translated my vision and brought it to life. They were also able to recommend flowers that helped to reduce the overall budget which was greatly appreciated. Thank you Bride & Blossom!!!! :)

I worked as the wedding planner for a wedding at the Bowery Hotel in NYC. I had met with a few florists before meeting with Bride and Blossom and I knew immediately that we were going to work with them. They were so nice and knowledgeable and e...
asy to work with. I explained to them the vision for the wedding and they completely understood what I was talking about. They were able to down to the smallest detail understand exactly what the Bride wanted her day to look like. The process to order the flowers was so easy and went so smoothly. The week before we put in the final order they were so accommodating to our changing needs with table counts etc and sent back revisions of the proposal exactly as we asked. The day of installation went really fast and was done perfectly. Brooke came for the delivery and was such a pleasure to chat with throughout the morning and so easy to work with to set everything up. We were able to work around each other effortlessly and got everything done with time to spare. The florals are 100% what make the space so special. They came out beautifully. The flowers were bloomed just right and pulled the entire room together! I cannot wait to see the professional photos of the space as it came out absolutely perfectly. I cannot wait to work with Bride and Blossom for every future event I have!

Bride and Blossom was beyond amazing! My husband and I cannot recommend them more! It is a mistake to go with anyone else! Rachel and Elianna were so responsive throughout our entire wedding planning process. We first met with Rachel about a ye...
ar before our wedding and worked closely with Elianna on various proposals. We loved Rachel from the start because she is open, honest, responsive, smart, and very, very knowledgeable - we trusted her instantly and our trust was not misplaced! No matter how many times we changed our design ideas and even when we asked for a second sample, Rachel, Elianna and the entire B&B team were nothing but gracious, understanding, and responsive. Our floral arrangements from bouquets and boutonnieres to centerpieces and our chuppah were exactly what we wanted and more! We received many compliments from guests and thought their work was beyond stunning!

Thank you for the kind review, it was such a pleasure bringing your vision to life. Congratulations!!
I felt cheated, extremely disappointed with B&B and regret using them. Rachel and Elianna told me they would be at my wedding but they were inaccessible on my wedding day. Instead, they sent their assistants whom I have never met before and not...
familiar with my plans. They arrived late delivering the bouquets. When I arrived at the venue, I was shocked to see the ceremony space was no where near set up, there were boxes of flower supplies. Prior to the ceremony, my venue coordinator came to me in the bridal suite to warn me that there were problems with the florist. As I walked down the aisle, I noticed that my altar and ceremony floral arrangements were missing. When I got to the front, I saw branches and flowers in the bushes on the ground behind our officiant. I asked Rachel after the wedding what happened and she explained that the vases blew over and broke as they set up in the early afternoon. She said her team then waited and put them back in the replacement vases closer to the time of the ceremony. They blew over and broke again. I had warned B&B multiple times at the advice of the venue, that it can get windy near the water at Battery Gardens, but she decided to use glass vases with a hollow bottom/stand. I thought B&B was an experienced vendor but failing to pick and use the appropriate outdoor vases was an immature mistake. It's common sense that she should have used heavy garden (stone) vases. No one from B&B team approached me to let me know. As the night progressed, there were lots of flowers/details missing including missing lanterns at the cocktail hour space, missing flowers at the base of the cake, no hanging candles, no cascading flowers for the parents table. We paid almost 10k for all these details and it was like we hired an amateur florist doing their first wedding. There was no attention to details, e.g. B&B decided to reduce the flower count in our sweetheart table which is the focal point of the reception area; I asked for cascading high centerpieces, I got a round shape. Rachel refunded me for some but not all of the missing pieces. She came up with lots of excuses including street closures, fire dept inspection, another client needing a Chuppah etc. She didn't even contact me after the wedding to apologize, until I contacted her and complained. She said she was planning to after my honeymoon (I didn't leave until 2 weeks after!)...how about a simple email or something? I'm confused by the nice reviews and instagram. They were the only disorganized, rude, and unprofessional vendor at my wedding. What a disaster!

We have worked with this venue many times and received amazing feedback from our clients and management alike. We pride ourselves on our quality of design, attention to detail and excellent customer service. Our executive team is comprised of s...
easoned designers and wedding professionals and our core team is always on site at our weddings.
Unfortunately, there were extremely heavy winds during the outdoor ceremony setup which caused some of the pedestals to break. Our team worked tirelessly to remedy the situation right up until the start of the ceremony. We were in touch with the manager who was in constant contact with Widya, the bride. Had she mentioned an issue with the bouquet, our designer would have fixed it immediately. Regarding the sweetheart table, our contract allows for substitutions as needed based upon availability of flowers and what works best with the design.
The bride contacted us directly after the wedding expressing her displeasure, we responded immediately, apologized for any disappointment and refunded a substantial portion of her floral cost.
While we are saddened to hear of this bride's negative experiences, we are fortunate to have hundreds of wonderful reviews and our work speaks for itself.
Bride and Blossom did a beautiful job on the flowers for my ceremony and reception in Chappaqua, NY in November. They were very responsive throughout the whole process and took the time to identify exactly what I wanted. I also really appreciat...
ed the mood board and detailed proposal that they created prior to retaining them (and again after your trial arrangements). No other florist put that much detail and hard work into my wedding when I was only in the research stage! I received so many complements on my flowers, and everything came out just as I imagined. I would highly recommend Bride and Blossom if you want professional and creative florists for your wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 12/30/2016
Thank you for the review, Happy New Year!
Rachel, Elianna, and the rest of the team were sensational! Like most brides, I changed my mind about a lot of things leading up to my wedding day and they adjusted the contract and were responsive during all hours of the day, 7 days a week. Th...
ey performed wonderfully on the wedding day, delivering bouquets and boutonnieres, all while creating a floral chandelier and 6 feet tall centerpieces of varying sizes.
My wedding planner and I ran around, looking for a florist who not only understood our vision but a florist who could perform and execute. We were not willing to pay the pretty penny that florist extraordinaries like David Beahm and Ovando were quoting us, but Rachel and her team were equally as equipped and creative. Bride & Blossom successfully put together a high-production wedding for our 180 guests and worked magnificently with our other 10 vendors.
My guests were beyond mesmerized with their work. And all of my guests, even 4 weeks after the wedding, still are in awe with the beautiful space that Rachel, Elianna, and the rest of the team put together.
It's also very important to note that they are priced very very very competitively, for a successful vendor with an office and warehouse in Midtown Manhattan and Long Island City. I highly recommend Bride & Blossom. I wish I could plan another wedding so I can work with Rachel and Elianna again.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We loved working with you to bring your vision to life.
Rachel and Elianna are a fantastic team. Upon my first meeting with Rachel, I knew that she was the ultimate professional - knowledgeable, personable, friendly, extremely competent - I felt immediately at ease and knew that I would have nothing...
to worry about if I selected Bride and Blossom as far as my floral arrangements went. I met with five other flower design shops before selecting Bride and Blossom and felt Rachel was way ahead of the competition. Rachel completely understood my vision from the start and Bride and Blossom executed flawlessly - their work exceeded my expectations and was absolutely perfect. Many of our guests remarked on how beautiful our flowers were. I would highly recommend Rachel and Elianna - if you want a team that will deliver top notch work without any stress, Bride and Blossom is the way to go. Bride and Blossom's work is simply amazing and they are a pleasure to work with!

Hi Jennifer- thank you so much for the review, we really appreciate your time. Congratulations!
Rachel, Elianna and the team at Bride & Blossom made our wedding a dream come true! Finding a floral designer we felt comfortable with was one of the hardest things to do in our wedding planning adventures. We met with many of the top floral ve...
ndors in the NYC area and while they were nice, we had a hard time understanding their proposals. Despite asking for the same type of flowers and displays the pricing between vendors varied in the range of thousands of dollars and we could not understand why as their proposals were not that detailed. When we met with Rachel, she spent the time to listen to our ideas and then she followed that up with a detailed design board presentation with the exact flowers that she would use and how it would be displayed. We were floored with this level of detail and care. The proposal that followed was detailed and clear and the pricing was quite reasonable. It was a no-brainer to choose Bride & Blossom after that. The design board was extremely useful also as we shared it with our vendors and they all commented on how great it was that we had this to help them understand our vision. On the wedding day, the flowers were absolutely stunning! We received so many compliments not just from family and friends but from our vendors and the venue. Some of the staff at the venue told us that they hadn't seen the ballroom look as beautiful as it did for our wedding. We wholeheartedly recommend Bride & Blossom for your wedding!

mely professional and responsive and were gave us such helpful advice during all phases of the planning process. On top of beautiful arrangements and decor, my bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets were stunning. Rachel used an array of flowers that made everything look multidimensional and interesting, and incorporated colors and variety. We recommend Bride & Blossom to anyone looking for the complete package-- amazing flowers, great and organized staff and of course, Rachel.

Thank you for this beautiful review! We truly appreciate your confidence in our team!
B&B is amazing! Rachel and her team are so talented, friendly and responsive. What I loved most about Rachel and her team is not only do they know their stuff, but they're honest and helpful. We all knew I wasn't a flower expert, and they were ...
readily available when I needed help deciding what color table numbers would go best with the flower arrangements we decided on or which type of tree arrangement went better with my theme. That is invaluable and probably not found in a lot of vendors who will just tell you what you want to hear. I booked them a little under a year from my wedding date. At the time I had one vision, then as the year went on and Pinterest took over my life, I had a slightly different vision a few months from the wedding. The team worked with me to bring my new new vision to life while staying within our budget. They provide an inspo board (multiple even as things will change) which is amazjng to see how your vision and their talent will come to life for your big day. They also provide complimentary mock ups of your centerpieces so you can see how it all looks and can give them feedback. The amnesia roses to match my rose gold accent color were to die for. They nailed the gardeny yet lush and cascading look I was going for. Myself and all the guests were in awe over the centerpieces, floral garland, rose gold votives, greenery & eucalyptus leaves & tree arrangement that created such a dreamy and romantic look for our wedding. Everything was just perfect. Definitely book them, you won't regret it!
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2016
Thank you for this amazin review!! You were an absolute pleasure to work with and had a beautiful vision.
The floral portion of our wedding day was one of the more important details. We had meetings with a handful of floral vendors and Bride & Blossom came out on top. They were the most reasonably priced, and we knew exactly what we were getting....
They also listened to our vision and created a PowerPoint, highlighting our thoughts from the initial meeting. A few other of the florists were very vague about the amount of flowers that would be in each arrangement. Rachel laid out a contract that outlined everything from the number of vases expected on each table to the count of each type of flower, so we knew exactly what we were getting. Of course, as the planning process continues, these numbers can change up and down depending on guest count and the number of tables that you need (price reflecting up or down as well). We had a walk-through at the venue that helped add to the overall floral vision. The team is very creative, making suggestions while also keeping to what we wanted. Finally, during our floral mock-up closer to the wedding (also knowing our guest count at this point), they were excellent in working with our wedding planner in adjusting flower counts, arrangements for tables, how many of each, etc. We even changed some of the types of flowers at this point after realizing we didn't like a few flowers/greenery together we thought we had. Overall, a great team to work with and we'd definitely recommend them to brides and grooms in the future!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback and detailed review! We really enjoyed working with you to bring your vision to life.
Bride & Blossom did a good job for my wedding. The quality of their flowers were great and the team put together some beautiful arrangements. They allowed me to bring my own vases to save a little money but in retrospect I should have just go...
ne with what they would have provided. The extra work of buying everything, cleaning it and delivering it to the studio is not worth the savings as they do not really up charge their vases by much. We did have a few issues on the day of the wedding with my bouquet and wedding cake decoration coming out different than I had communicated. Mistakes inevitable will happen at weddings, the key is that Bride and Blossom were apologetic and sent me a nice house arrangement which I thought was a nice touch. Their manhattan office is really pretty and chic, you will feel very fancy while you are there!
Response from the Vendor on 10/10/2016
Congratulations on your big day, and thank you for your kind words about our floral designs. We again, apologize for any miscommunication on the shape of your bouquet. In the case of the cake- we had provided the flowers listed on our contract ...

We are so glad that you enjoyed your arrangement. We wish you and your fiance many happy years together.
I found Bride and Blossom through Instagram and fell in love with some of their work! When I went to meet with them, they were exactly what I was looking for. They took notes on everything I requested, made suggestions that helped me to achie...

I would highly highly recommend them to anyone.

Rachel and her team made our wedding vision come to life with very little input from my husband and me. They created absolutely stunning floral garlands for our long tables, beautiful bouquets for my bridesmaids and me, and lush arrangements fo...

Thank you for your beautiful review! We really enjoyed working with you also
This vendor is worth every penny. Rachel and her team were amazing from the minute we requested a consultation online. She called us back right away, and on a Sunday. Going through the consultation process with Rachel and her team is what I bel...
ieve brides envision meeting with a vendor is like, but sadly vendor meetings often fall short - B&B was professional, prompt, warm, high tech, and the meeting occurred in a forum where design concepts could be articulated, reviewed and revised real time. I believe this set up helped to ensure that Rachel and I were on the same page regarding our vision for our flowers. I left feeling confident she (unlike other florists my husband and i had met with) really got it. Our flower concept was fairly elaborate (think chandeliers of 400 flowers hanging over every table) and I left feeling not only like she understood what we wanted to do throughout our venue, but she was ready and willing to execute on our vision, not hers. And execute B&B did! The decor and florals were absolutely jaw dropping. Everything integrated perfectly - you really couldn't tell where the venue stopped and our concept started - and everything went off on time, on budget, and without a hitch. I have no idea how the day-of team, headed by Eliana, worked through everything - I'm still in awe - but they absolutely crushed it! Everything was just stunning. Following are some of the words and phrases our guests (both male and female alike) used to describe the decor: "beautiful", "stunning", "fantasy", "oh sh!t, those are flowers???!", "i can't believe we're here", "that flower wall is unreal", "this is sick!", "magical", "Oh My God"...but really, words fall short at describing what Bride & Blossom pulled off. As the bride, I could've stayed in our venue for hours - it was exactly what my husband and I imagined. The photos our guests took are amazing and we simply cannot wait to see the pics that the pros got! We're so grateful to this amazing team!!!

You were amazing to work with, so sweet, laid back and a great sense of style! We loved bringing your vision to life and are thrilled that you were so happy. Thank you for taking the time to write such a beautiful review!
Bride & Blossom was absolutely incredible. From the very first consultation I had with Rachel to the final seconds of my wedding reception, each detail was handled to perfection. The floral arrangements were absolutely stunning, and Rachel, Eli...
anna, and the whole team were a joy to work with. Not only were they accommodating to my budget, style, and preferences, they were also professional and super friendly. They understood my vision and executed it brilliantly! There wasn't a single petal out of place, but the whole look was completely effortless, romantic, and classic. I would highly recommend Bride & Blossom to any couple seeking a top-quality florist -- they are really the best of the best!

We truly appreciate your wonderful review!
First off, Bride and Blossom was AMAZING. I had met with other florists before meeting with Rachel from B&B, and really didn't know what I wanted for my flowers. Unlike the other vendors, Rachel completely understood that I needed direction a...
nd asked exactly the right questions to get me to figure out what I wanted. She gathered inspiration photos that gave me a really good idea of what my flowers would look like. On the wedding day the arrangements were more amazing than I ever imagined. I got multiple compliments on them and I couldn't believe how well the flowers meshed with my bridesmaids and overall look. I can't say enough great things about Bride and Blossom!

d responsive! They made every detail look amazing!! Everyone was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them to any bride! Thank you bride and blossom for delivering the "wow" factor we were looking for!!
Rachel and her team, created more than i ever could have imagined with their floral design. Flowers were really important to us, and we incorporated in memory of my mother her favorite flower. They did it in such a beautiful and elegant way, ...
that was subtle. The comments we received on the floral decorations were incredible. We could not have been happier with Rachel, her team, and the flowers. Bride and Blossom is really one area where you can meet and discuss, and then leave entirely in their hands. Their liason on the day was also so lovely and helpful and enthusiastic.
