you make for your wedding to hire him as your florist!
Patrick was so wonderful to work with. I sent him some examples of what I liked from Pinterest and he took all of them into consideration and created my dream florals for our wedding. The flowers were gorgeous, so fresh and lush. Patrick also c...
reated our seating chart/welcome sign and table numbers. Anything I threw at him, he knocked out of the park and went above and beyond with it. The setup for our ceremony wasn’t as pretty as the venue had initially promised us, but Patrick brought extra flowers and went to work to make it beautiful for us. I would highly recommend him over and over again. He was a dream!
Book Patrick with confidence! He is an amazing florist - super professional, responsive, and pays close attention to detail. Patrick goes above and beyond to make sure your vision comes to life. We had a smaller wedding with blush-themed floral...
s and it was perfect. I recently lost my dad and wanted to incorporate a piece of his jeans in my bouquet so he could be with me as I walked down the aisle. Patrick made a beautiful ribbon from the fabric I gave him. He went above and beyond to make this special for me. I cannot thank him enough for all his hard work - everything was beautiful! Highly recommend - you can't go wrong here!!
I hate to play favorites, however, Patrick was absolutely my favorite vendor! He was prompt to reply on my emails, worked with me to come up with a plan for the flower design, and followed through wonderfully on the day. We wanted an earthy and...
minimal tone to the wedding. Patrick killed it! My wedding was so beautiful! I cannot thank him enough for the amazing job. He stuck around a little bit to make sure everything was good. My mother after a few glasses of wine loves to dance and Patrick even jumped in to dance a little with her! Huge added bonus to see my mom smile and having a good time. The flowers and décor was beautiful and everyone at the wedding and on my Facebook commented how classy it was and how stunning everything turned out. Thank you Patrick 100000x!!! My wedding could not have been the same without you!!
Not only is Patrick one of the most lovely, kind and joyful people I have ever met, he is also an incredibly thoughtful and dedicated floral ARTIST! I knew from our first communication via email that we would become fast friends and I fully tru...
sted that he would execute our vision with care. He is a kindred spirit, a life-lover and FUN!! He took our non-traditional color scheme that all of our family and friends said was "quirky" (at best) when we had previously described to them what we imagined for our special day, and he made it extraordinary--bursting with vibrant color and arrangements that were so clearly crafted with love!! Every guest that greeted us told us that that we had the most beautiful wedding flowers they had ever seen. All thanks to Patrick!!! He made our day more magical than I could have ever imagined and I am so appreciative of all of his hard work, and I am especially so thrilled to count him as a new friend. If you are looking for a florist for your wedding who will listen, advise, share in your excitement and provide the most beautiful flowers you've ever seen for your wedding day, look no further than Patrick at City Iris!!!

Patrick is beyond amazing and a dream to work with! He and his team did a beautiful job transforming our venue for both the ceremony and reception. Patrick is professional and always brings good energy. I truly feel that my journey to him was o...
rchestrated by divine intervention. He also worked with me to complete my wedding day look by providing several options for hair pieces and earrings--all of which were beautiful. He made my wedding day so magical. My guests were fighting over the centerpieces at the end of the night!! You will not regret hiring him. I promise.
Although CityIris is based in New York, Patrick traveled to Philadelphia for my wedding :)
Patrick is such a pleasure to interact with and his flowers were perfection. Patrick is responsive, understood instantly the "fall/autumn tone" vision, and is such a lovely person! Patrick arrived early, and made the most beautiful flower arch...

Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2021
Thank you so much for the beautiful review, and for making Cityiris a part of your special day! There is something very special about saying "I Do" in a garden. It was a delightful journey of warm fall shades of orange from day one. A total del...
ight working with you. Wishing you and Brendan all things fabulous :-)!
It was pure joy working with Patrick. From the first time we communicated, he immediately knew what we wanted—the look, the mood, the aesthetics, the exact flowers, colors and shades—and since we first met, he exuded so much warmth, positive en...
ergy and professionalism we quickly came to rely on him for his opinion and creative ideas. He was a friend to us, always quick in responding to our every concern and query, always caring, always making us feel special. In the end he gifted us with the floral arrangement of our dream—so exquisite, so happy-making, so completely ‘us’—which our guests couldn’t stop raving about for days.

regards from NY to Indonesia :-) Cheers!
Can’t recommend Patrick enough! I never met with him before the event, I had only spoken to him over email. And just from that, he completely understood everything we needed--he was super responsive and he was so easy to work with. I felt comfo...
rtable and knew that we were in good hands. On the day of the event he arrived early for his set up, made sure everything was to our liking, and was genuinely such a blast to be around. I would absolutely hire him again for any future events!
I cannot sing Patrick’s praises enough. He truly went more than above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was just as we imagined it to be. Patrick was kind, professional, attentive, and just an absolutely lovely human being all around. H...
e was patient, understanding, and accommodating throughout the entire process, as planning a wedding 3000 miles away in a pandemic is not the easiest thing to do! Our wedding day would not have been the same without him and we would recommended him to anyone who wants their vision to truly come to life!
Response from the Vendor on 08/06/2021
Thank you, thank you! It was a delight working with you! We might have been 3,000 miles apart, but felt very close. Everything came together so well at My Moon. It was a beautiful wedding full of love and color and I am so thankful that CityIri...

Thank you! It was a delight being a part of your special day and a pleasure working with you. From the lush gardens of Central Park to the stunning beaches of St.Lucia, it was a fabulous journey of Red & Rose Gold! Wishing you both all things ...
fabulous!
Two of my very close friends worked with Patrick for their NYC and Long Island weddings and both recommended I reach out when I began planning. I am so glad that I did! After a quick initial phone call, Patrick immediately understood the look I...
was going for, and he sent reference images that were spot on before I even shared my inspiration boards. Due to covid19 restrictions, we changed our April 2021 plans by postponing our large catering hall reception to 2022 and planning a small ceremony in my parents' backyard. With this change, Patrick immediately got to brainstorming ways to make this day still feel extra special. He created a stunning bouquet for me, vibrant centerpieces, and an incredible arch covered in cherry blossoms. In addition, he used rose petals and tons of candles to set the tone. I cannot thank Patrick enough for making our backyard ceremony so much more beautiful than I could have imagined, and we are so excited to work with him next year for our large reception. If you are looking for a highly creative, professional, thoughtful and caring florist, then Patrick is your guy!
Response from the Vendor on 08/06/2021
Thank you so much! Feels like it was just yesterday... Working in your parent's beautiful backyard was a delight :-). It's a pleasure working with you, and I so look forward to March of 2022. Our wonderful journey of love & flowers is well on i...
ts way. Wishing you both all the best!
Our original wedding was supposed to be in Atlanta, GA, but due to the pandemic we had to postpone. We still wanted to get married on our original date, so we decided on a intimate 12 guest backyard wedding. My wedding planner connected me with...
Patrick and from day one he never skipped a beat! He created the perfect bridal bouquet and boutonniere. It was all shades of pink with a rustic flare. He was very personable as well flexible. I would highly recommend his services!
Patrick is the greatest, his knowledge and taste level are unparalleled. We obviously had to make so many changes for our ceremony considering we were originally scheduled for May 2020. Patrick was highly flexible, adaptable, and was a reas...
suring light in the midst of a ton of confusion and concern. He worked tirelessly, took on extra responsibility to make the day run smoothly, and our flowers were stunning! Everyone at the wedding commented how exceptional the flowers and decor was- all thanks to Patrick. Can not recommend him enough. Our wedding was originally meant to be in Brooklyn, we moved to CT, and he had no problem being there and delivering perfectly.
Patrick is so amazing - you have to hire him! I found him through a chain of coworkers who had all worked with him for their wedding and raved about him -- they insisted I work with him and they were totally right, best decision ever! From the...
very first conversation, he completely understood exactly what I wanted - even though I know nothing about flowers so could not articulate that vision very well -- and he delivered above and beyond expectations.
We initially hired him to do a 175 person NYC wedding, but with Covid we ended up doing a really small party (5 total) in the Hamptons. He was super flexible and creative and made the event so beautiful. All of our other vendors commented on how uniquely amazing the flowers were. And the best part is his attitude - you will have a blast working with him!
June 2021- After postponing our wedding reception for 15 months, we were finally able to have the best party with the best florist in New York in June 2021. We knew it was going to be a special day, and Patrick and City Iris were one of the mai...
n reasons for it. Six months later, our wedding guests are still talking about the amazing floral arrangements. Our guests complimented the wedding, in part because of the flowers, as one of the “classiest” events they had ever attended. Patrick understood the wedding vision from our very first phone call, and respected our budget throughout the challenges of the pandemic. He also created beautiful flowers for our initial elopement in the summer of 2020. My husband and I have nothing but positive things to say about Patrick and City Iris, and I've got my fingers crossed for an excuse to book him again sometime soon!
July 2020- Patrick has been wonderful to work with since our very first consultation call. He immediately understood my vision, unlike other florists. I was thrilled to see his centerpiece mockups before our wedding. Unfortunately, we had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic. But we did recently have a small ceremony. Patrick was wonderful to work with then. He provided a bouquet and boutonniere. He also sourced a whole new chuppah for our ceremony as well as providing complementary flowers for the reception. He was very generous as our budget was very very small for this unforeseen additional ceremony. My husband and I cannot wait to use Patrick for our upcoming reception.
Patrick was absolutely AMAZING!! We had very little experience with flowers and we were confused which ones to choose, so Patrick came up with a perfect arrangements suggestions and colors for our fall wedding! Everything turned out to be abso...
lutely gorgeous.
He gave us a lot of suggestions and advice not only for flowers decorations but also for the ceremony schedule, table arrangements and seating charts
We had originally planned a ceremony at a summer camp in Upstate New York, but due to the statewide shutdown, we had to push everything back until next year. We still wanted to get married on the same date this year, so we decided to have a bac...
kyard wedding with no in-person guests. Patrick and his team did an AMAZING job transforming our backyard into a beautiful wedding space for our Virtual Quarantine Wedding! We had a colorful aesthetic and sent Patrick some pictures and suggestions. Immediately, he provided us with his magnificently creative vision. From the gorgeous archway to the cute table display to the bouquet and beyond, everything was PERFECT! We cannot thank Patrick enough for his patience, understanding, flexibility, and artistry!
Patrick was wonderful to work with. He was responsive, professional, and personable. Although my husband and I live in Florida, we got married in NYC in August. All of my communication with Patrick was via email and I did not meet him in person...
until he delivered my bouquet the morning of my wedding; And he was just as great in person as he had been over email! I sent him photos of what I had in mind and the end result exceeded my expectations. Choose CityIris, you will not be disappointed!!
I am so glad that I chose Patrick for my big day!!! He really did amazing job! I did not have detailed vision of my wedding, but he knew exactly what I wanted and made my wedding really stunning and beautiful. He gave me a lot of suggestions no...
t only for flower decor, but also for ceremony schedule, location of sweet heart tables and etc. Therefore, it was really easy for me to prepare this big day! Thank you Patrick :) !!
Patrick is a superstar and he and his team were amazing for our wedding. We hit it off from the first day we met and I knew he would be our florist when he and my husband separately pointed out the same boutonniere from my Pinterest board.
...
Patrick was very easy to work with, he always took our input into account and offered suggestions based on what we wanted and was receptive to our feedback.
He clearly has a passion and vision for floral arrangements, he was able to immediately suggest flowers and a color palette that complemented our theme perfectly. We had a tight budget and Patrick worked with us to make sure our arrangements would be beautiful regardless. He did not hesitate to help us to bring everything within budget.
He also went the extra mile for us. The flowers for our wedding were the wrong shade when they arrived the day before so he went to flower market at 4AM on the day of the wedding to get the flowers in the correct shade.
On the wedding day, Patrick and his team arrived early to set up and everything was gorgeous. The wedding altar and centerpieces were beautiful, the bouquets and boutonnieres were full, and the colors all tied in together so well. He also decorated the escort card table, wedding cake table, and the tables at cocktail hour.
Some of our guests weren't mindful and broke a few of the cylinder vases along the aisle after the ceremony but Patrick had spare cylinders just in case. He salvaged the flowers and replaced them without a hitch.
Patrick checked in with us throughout the day to make sure that everything was exactly as we dreamed and let us know when he was leaving for the night.
I would definitely recommend him and know where to go if we need flowers for another event.
I can't say enough good things about working with Patrick at City Iris for my wedding florals! From little more than a color scheme and a request for flowers that would augment but not overpower the natural beauty of our venue, he made literal ...
magic happen! The centerpieces, bouquets, and floral archway he designed were gorgeous, simple, and sophisticated, and I've gotten dozens of compliments on them since our wedding day. He was also able to do all this within my budget, and best of all was a complete delight to work with. Highly, highly, highly recommend!!
We cannot say enough good things about Patrick Martinez! The man is a visual genius, and he was absolutely essential to our wedding day. When we first hired CityIris, our agreement was strictly for floral arrangements. Little did we know that w...
e would be getting so much more. Patrick advised us for every step of the process—what frames for the table numbers would work best, the type of flowers that would complement the bridesmaids dresses, menu layouts, seating chart, etc. He also ended up finding my wedding dress for me—and let me tell you, the man has an eye for what works!! The dress was not only stunning, but it perfectly matched the tone and theme of the wedding. Patrick, in putting work into every detail, had our theme running through his head, and the result was an extremely elegant, stunning, and memorable ceremony and reception. The flowers were the freshest, most beautiful I could have ever imagined, and every single detail was attended to from start to finish. Hire this man: he’ll give you the wedding of your dreams.
Omg !!! When I say Patrick and City Iris were amazing I definitely mean it !! I planned my wedding from a distance and Patrick was still able to capture my exact vision for the special day. He even helped me with my bridal jewelry which was an...
absolute plus. Everything was beautiful and everyone loved the floral details. If I had to choose again I would definitely choose CityIris!
What’s better than the best??? City Iris is!! I met Patrick through a recommendation and I’ll forever be grateful!! I came to him for his skills as a florist and ended up with a mini wedding planner and therapist!! Patrick asked my color theme ...
and then sent me on my way to get the rest of my life together. He styled me from head to toe. He handled my invites, place cards and menus. Then there were the flowers and general ambiance of the wedding. My guests are still in awe!! Patrick I’ll forever be grateful
Patrick was absolutely amazing!! We had very little vision for our wedding and Patrick came up with perfect suggestions for our personalities and venue! The flowers and arrangements were absolutely gorgeous, in addition to being very affordable...
. Patrick had our bouquets, boutonnières, ceremony, and reception flowers all perfect - we could not have asked for more!!
Patrick is an absolute God Send!! He went above and beyond providing stunning bouquets and flower arrangements. Not only did he do a phenomenal job with the floral decor, he also set up lanterns for an impactful and luxurious setting. Thank you...
Patrick for giving us more than we could imagine, including a therapist during the most exciting and stressful time of our lives. : )
We hired Patrick from City Iris for our wedding on 4/28/19. Patrick is super easy to work with and very responsive. He captured our vision flawlessly and everything was to die for! I would definitely recommend City Iris for any event if you wan...

This review is clearly waaaaaaaayyyyy overdue seeing that its my one year anniversary already! Patrick was truly heaven sent and is such a beautiful person. He worked within our budget and made our room look magical with his beautiful cherry bl...
ossoms. He was very responsive to calls and emails and was there to help me brainstorm smaller decorations I needed for the cake and welcome table. My bouquet was to die for and the bridesmaids bouquets were simply perfect. Patrick also helped with my personal styling as well. I bought an amazing hairpin from him as well as my wedding earrings. He's also an amazing seamstress and helped me redesign the back of my dress and hemmed it as well. I cannot thank him enough for all of his help. I wanted a simple aisle to walk down and he covered it with rose petals and lined it with beautiful gold candle lit lanterns. I really wish I had the ability to attach pictures to my review. If I ever have any floral needs in the future there is no question that I will go to him. If anyone ever asks me for recommendations for their wedding I am immediately sending them to City Iris! I will Patrick nothing but the best and hope that his business continues to blossom [pun intended :) ].
Patrick did an amazing job with our florals and visuals for our fall wedding. His suggestions of colors and shape were perfect and he was so supportive throughout the whole process. We can't thank him enough for making our day extra special!
Patrick is extremely personable, thoughtful, and he's wonderful to work with! I wish I could give him a hug again right now. (So sorry this review is long overdue!) He understood our low-key rustic style and his expertise elevated the ambiance ...
of our wedding. I met with a few florists and he was realistic in terms of working with our style and budget. It was important to us that we were able to work with someone who not only takes pride in their art but also understood our needs. It was refreshing that he listened, was realistic while also enthusiastic during this happy and stressful time. Please meet him. If I ever need another event, I will contact him again!

went above and beyond to make my floral arrangements be out of this world amazing!! Patrick’s suggestions for any question that I had resulted in something more sophisticated, unique and something seen in a movie or a postcard. He made my event be over the top and I received compliments from all who attended. Patrick was always available by phone and e-mail and when he was not, he promptly returned my messages. Patrick’s personality and the way he conducts his business is superb and he sets the bar high. He made my experience be as memorable as could be. Patrick also added extras which I did not think of, but of course that made my event even more fabulous. I can not thank Patrick enough for all of the effort, time and kindness that he has dedicated to making my event one of a kind, but THANK YOU Patrick!!
Time flies but our memory stays with our beautiful wedding and all the efforts behind it!
One sentence to summarize it if you don't want to read it through: Patrick is really accommodating and did everything way beyond our expectation.
Back in ...
April 2018, we were really stressed at that time, and we had no idea on how to do our wedding. We searched through internet crazily, browse through reviews and images. We nailed it down to three florists before we started to schedule appointments. On the first appointment, Patrick was really patient on getting to know what style, color, texture we wants, basically very detail-oriented. He also worked with our budget without a frown. He sent back a proposal next day, and we went though several rounds of revising since we added new request each time.
Here comes the time for samples. Patrick did the centerpiece sample as illustrated in the proposal but we don't like how this style shows on pictures. Therefore, we made a radical change to the proposal, and what's really awesome about Patrick was that he patiently rewrote the proposal from bottom, and took time to do another full sample session for us, given that he had so many weddings in summer. He also helped us on our wedding design including invitations, menus etc. very inspirational! He is really driving for satisfaction and perfection.
On the wedding day, Patrick arrived on time to do arrangement for flowers, candles, aisle-runner. They turned out to be more beautiful that we saw in sample session, and our guests love those flowers!
Patrick from City Iris did the most amazing job with the flowers for our November wedding. It was super affordable and absolutely gorgeous. Patrick was so accommodating and he nailed the look I was going for with very little guidance from me! H...
e was a dream to work with and I was so happy with how the flowers came out. Highly recommend if you are looking for an affordable, high-quality option in NYC.
Working with Patrick and CityIris was an absolute dream. The flower arrangements were stunning yet affordable, and Patrick genuinely listened to what we wanted and delivered bigtime. The chuppah was breathtaking and like stepping into a dream. ...
Patrick also provided succulents and place cards for all of our guests, which came out beautifully. Patrick went above and beyond and met me at the hotel the morning of my wedding to drop off my bouquet; he even cut part of my mother's lace veil from her wedding on site to wrap it around my bouquet. He was a delight to work with and I have been recommending him to everyone I know!
Patrick is 👏🏼 AH 👏🏼 MAZ 👏🏼 ING!
Incredibly personable, passionate about his work, and an exceptional eye for style.
Don’t bother shopping around elsewhere, go with City Iris / Patrick - he’s a star, you will not be disappointed.
Patrick was absolutely incredible. I had a very specific, unique aesthetic and Patrick jumped right on board and ran with it. Throughout the process he checked in with me to provide pricing options and made some great suggestions. Patrick pro...
vided insights on which flowers were in season and gave me several quotes for things like seating charts and table numbers so that I was making the best decision based off the market options. My favorite thing about working with Patrick was how excited he was in bringing my vision to life. On the day of, he brought me aside between the ceremony and reception and double checked that I was happy with everything. He really delivered on my ask and took the extra steps to ensure he exceeded my expectations. My ceremony, cocktail hour and reception looked even better than I hoped. Thanks to Patrick, my wedding was so beautiful and truly a reflection of my husband and I.
Patrick is amaze!! We absolutely love him. We reached out to several florists and he got back to us immediately with some ideas for our wedding. He is very creative and totally was fantastic through this process. He is quick to respond, great ...
at suggesting which flowers is best for the month etc and super helpful (even with stuff that isn't do to with flowers!).
On the day, our tables looked beautiful and so did our bouquets. He even added some flowers on our cake to make it even more special. The chuppah he built and designed for us was just beautiful - also props to Patrick for moving it around last minute as our rain forecast changed to somewhat sunny.
We totally recommend hiring him! Our experience with him was so stress free :).
You will not regret hiring Patrick! Right from the very beginning, I felt so comfortable with him. He really understood what I was looking for and brought it to life. When I saw the reception space for the first time, I was completely overwh...
elmed by how his beautiful work transformed the space. More than that, Patrick is sweet and funny and wonderful to work with. He was super responsive and happy to work with me to get every detail just right. I can't say enough good things, you should just hire him!

Thank you Lexi! We so enjoyed working with you and can't thank you enough for making us a part of such a special day. Wishing you all things fabulous! Patrick
City Iris was by far the best vendor we hired for our wedding. Working with Patrick was a breeze, he understood our desired vision immediately and ensured everything was perfect down to the last detail. When we found out just two days before ou...
r wedding that our reception venue had forgotten to rent for us an important furniture item for our planned outdoor terrace garden, Patrick came through in the eleventh hour to ensure we had what we needed. Can't believe we found a vendor that actually helped *alleviate* stress in the run up to the big day! Thanks again Patrick!
Response from the Vendor on 07/16/2018
Sweet thank yous to you both! Such a delight working with you. Our goal is to make everything happen with no stress. Wishing you the best!
Patrick
Patrick was such a pleasure to work with. Very professional, and amazing personality. He was even able to find me a wedding dress AND customize with bling for me. He has an amazing eye, and knows just what to create based on what your style and...
personality is. Great intuition. I would highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 04/26/2018
Thank you so much Jennifer! It was a delight working with you and Stephen. You looked simply perfect in your blinged out dress. A truly amazing wedding(and bride)at Battery Gardens.
Wishing you all things fabulous!
Patrick
Everything, from the first email to the delivery of the bouquet, was just perfect. We had a small elopement wedding, so all we needed was a beautiful bouquet. I knew exactly how the bouquet should have looked like and Patrick made it exactly as...
I saw it! Every time I look at my wedding pictures I admire my ideal bouquet.
Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2017
Thank you Anastasia! A delight creating flowers for a romantic wedding for two in NYC. Those Blush David Austen Roses were perfect for you. Wishing you both all the best! Patrick
My love for Patrick and City Iris runs deep. Patrick was more than an amazing florist for our wedding. He was my designer, visionary, support system, friend and yes, florist.
Patrick and I connected from the first day we met. I loved his exci...
tement, vision, non-salesy approach and honesty. We both believe in "signs" and there were definitely a few on our first meeting!
Patrick understood my vision for the wedding and helped guide us every step of the way. We didn't have an exorbitant amount to spend but Patrick made our wedding look like we did! Patrick was very fair and never made us feel like we didn't have enough -- after meeting with a few florists, that was such a refreshing feeling.
In addition to creating BEAUTIFUL floral arrangements for our wedding, Patrick was my bridal stylist! He created the gorgeous belt I wore on my wedding day. He helped me choose my head piece and earrings and he even created my blusher from my mother's veil.
I kept telling Patrick he was my saving grace throughout the wedding process. When everything else seemed to be going wrong (vendors ghosting us, venue changing our cocktail hour, etc.) Patrick was my constant and made sure everything else was going right!
I am forever grateful for the beautiful work Patrick did for our wedding but also for being a friend and partner throughout the process.
Response from the Vendor on 11/23/2017
Thank you so much Christina! From day one it was an absolute delight meeting you. We loved being a part of such a special and beautiful day.
I am very grateful to know you as well.
City Iris did a fantastic job with our flowers. Patrick was so knowledgeable, helpful, and wonderful to work with. Thank you for making our wedding look beautiful!
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2017
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! A pleasure and a delight working with such a lovely couple.
Patrick
I got connected to Patrick and City Iris through a recommendation from a coworker, who lauded Patrick's great taste and ability to "take care of everything."
Patrick fully delivered. We showed him a few Pinterest photos and he helped us desi...
gn a vision (a simple but elegant "cocktail glam" of whites, golds, and lots of candles) within our budget. We did most of our communication via email, to which he was quick to respond. He never went overboard or tried to upsell us. He used bright and healthy flowers, with the arrangements and bouquets crafted beautifully.
My parents and I ended up making some last-minute additions/changes which Patrick accommodated gracefully. On the day-of, he arrived early for ceremony set-up and was able to work quickly when we realized the chuppah needed extra anchoring (it was a super-windy day).
Patrick is friendly, dependable, and has wonderful taste. I'd work with him and City Iris again.
We cannot speak more highly of City Iris! Patrick really went above and beyond (he managed to get peonies for my bouquet in August!) and executed our vision perfectly, not to mention he was beyond a pleasure to work with! An absolute must!
Patrick and City Iris did an amazing beautiful job for my wedding. He was easy going, attentive to all my needs, and did much more. Many florists that I had interviewed in NYC were standoffish and asked me to design and create the look -- Howev...
er, Patrick was SUPER friendly, personable, and someone you can talk to for hours. He knew the type of wedding deco I had envisioned after showing him a couple of pictures and took care of everything!! He has passion in what he does and you can tell through his work. I have absolutely no regrets hiring him, and everyone should book him as early as possible before he is taken (I did more than 1 year in advance before my wedding). He is quite the popular florist!
Response from the Vendor on 11/23/2017
Thank you Hannah! So much fun working with you. It was a perfect summer NY wedding. So grateful that you made us a part of such a special day.
Wishing you and David all things fabulous.
Patrick was great to work with. I kept pushing off our first meeting because of work commitments and because I got sick, and he was completely understanding and held my wedding day for me even though we'd never met in person. When we did meet, ...
I could tell I was in great hands. The day itself went well and the flowers looked amazing. My favorite thing about Patrick was how responsive he was. My least favorite thing (and this is par for the course with anything wedding-related) was that some things seemed unnecessarily expensive. For example, it was *much* cheaper for me to buy my own candle vases online than to rent through City Iris. Patrick was very amenable to allowing me to do this - he still set up the vases and candles for me even though I'd bought them myself. My only other nit-picky complaint was that we had printed a whole bunch of prayer books to be placed on each table, but most of them didn't make it to the tables- this was probably something we both should have communicated better about beforehand. He was really great overall, though!
Working with Patrick was an amazing experience. He took my general vision for sunflowers in a bookstore wedding and really created a romantic, elegant feel. Patrick was available during the entire planning process and was so receptive to my las...
t minute changes to add greenery for the ceremony space. Patrick and his team were on time to set up the venue and his centerpieces and welcome table decor created a beautiful atmosphere in the space. Patrick is extremely talented with a great eye for design. I would definitely recommend Patrick and City Iris to everyone.
I had a terrific experience using City Iris for my wedding. Patrick offers incredible value for his talent — he did a great job at staying within our (limited) budget for flowers but helping to maximize the overall effect of our design goals. I...
am forever indebted to him for encouraging me to use whites and creams in our floral arrangements to complement the various hues in my bridesmaids’ dresses — I think I would have chosen something else if left to my own devices, but now that I’m seeing photos of how everything pulled together, I realize just how right he was! I totally trust Patrick and he was a joy to work with at every stage of the process. Highly recommend.
Patrick is more than a florist, he is an event stylist guru! He listened to my vision and then enhanced it X100. He was so patient with me when I changed the setup of my event a couple of times and constantly kept my Type A personality at ease ...
that everything would be beautiful! I'll never forget showing up the day of my wedding and being absolutely blown away at what a beautiful job him and his partner had done. Not to mention the fact that my wedding was in Palm Springs, CA and he managed to make it all happen given he's based on NY. To top it all off my wedding was featured in Style Me Pretty because of how beautiful it was. All my guests told me they thought it was "straight from a magazine!".
I could not imagine my wedding without my amazing florist, Patrick from City Iris. I was immediately impressed by his enthusiasm, attention to detail, and sense of style. After just our first consultation, Patrick knew exactly what my "romant...
ic garden" vision was for my wedding and was able to work within my budget. His floral table arrangements of elegant, tall cascading greens and lush white flowers were beyond what I could have imagined. My wedding bouquet accented my bridal gown just perfectly and looked breathtaking in the photos. Patrick also went above and beyond and worked with me to come up with color schemes and other fine details that would best express my vision. I even credit him for helping me to make my final selection on my wedding dress! Not only is he super talented and professional, he is a very warm and kind person who shows that he really cares about you and wants to make your wedding day magical It is clear that this is not just a job for him, but a true passion and calling. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Patrick did a wonderful job decorating our wedding. He was an absolute joy to work with, he listened to all of our ideas and made everything so easy for us. We are still receiving compliments for how beautiful our wedding was!
Patrick and CityIris are amazing!!! We couldn't be happier!! Patrick is incredibly responsive and open to all of your ideas! When we arrived to our appointment to view a sample of our flowers he them already on display and they were better than...
what we hoped and dreamed. The day of the wedding he stayed until everything looked perfect. I couldn't be happier with Patrick and could not recommend CityIris enough.
Patrick and City Iris went above and beyond in helping my daughter and me plan flowers for her wedding. Patrick more than understood the look I wanted created but as the year unfolded I realized I was off base. Patrick took compete control and...
created a look for my daughter's wedding that was beyond the dream and at a price we could afford. Friends commented that they were the most beautiful wedding flowers they had every seen,
I highly recommend City Iris and I hope to have the opportunity to do business with them again!
Patrick did a fantastic job creating the floral arrangements I wanted for a very reasonable price! Every other florist I met with said my vision was impossible for less than $10k and Patrick was able to make it come to life for a fraction of th...
at. The bouquets and table settings were perfect. I would definitely refer my friends to Patrick if they're looking for a reasonable florist that's willing to work within their budget and really deliver!
Fabulous, until our wedding day. Up until our wedding day, Patrick was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was super nice and really listened to what we wanted and worked within our price range. I still don't understand what happened on our w...
edding day, and I never got any apology. The flowers arrived an hour late, almost making us late for the ceremony. He did not show up to help pin on the boutonnieres, as he had promised to do on multiple occassions. There was no toss bouquet and no back-up boutonnieres (in case they wilted before our photos in the evening), even though he had said multiple times there would be. And my bridesmaids' bouquets were the wrong color - they were supposed to be white but were instead pink like mine (although I admit this piece was in part my fault - I had asked for them to be white and at one point the contract had said they would be, but I did not notice that the contract was later mistakenly changed before it was finalized). I felt disappointed and a bit betrayed, since Patrick had always seemed so wonderful before, but overall the flowers still looked beautiful (even though they weren't quite what I wanted) and we eventually managed to find someone at our hotel who knew how to put on boutonnieres, so everything worked out and I am still giving Patrick three stars.
We met with them just like we met with so many florists. Nice enough but maybe they weren't eager because we had a smaller budget. I felt from our meeting that they weren't going to be that accommodating although they were civil and friendly en...
ough to us. Needless to say, they never got back to us with a proposal. Though I wanted to call and follow-up on their proposal, I felt like I shouldn't be running after them if I'm going to be giving them new business. So maybe good for couples with large budgets.
I just had my wedding 1 week ago in Brooklyn and couldn't have been happier with Patrick & City Iris! I don't know much about flowers at all, but knew I wanted something simple. Patrick managed to find something that fit the simplistic look I w...
anted while still looking elegant and gorgeous. At the last minute, I had to add some tables, but still had to stay within my budget and Patrick immediately adjusted his centerpieces to work with my new requirements. As a bonus, Patrick is sweet and really cares. I'm super happy we went with City Iris!
City Iris is the real deal! Mr. Martinez is truly amazing at his craft and attentive to the individual needs of his clients. City Iris went above and beyond to make my day beautiful, classy and elegant! For a bride who initially didn't want fl...
owers at her wedding, I couldn't have been more happy and elated with the design plan which ultimately became part of my wedding decor! Hands down, I would not hesitate to use City Iris again for my floral needs! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
Patrick is a dream come true. City Iris went above and beyond for our Labor Day wedding in Brooklyn. They are detail oriented, professional, supportive and sweet. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know.
AN ARTIST AND A PROFESSIONAL
Our evening wedding on December 5 would not have been the same without Patrick. Before I knew anything about the beautiful work he does, he impressed me with his professionalism and responsiveness. New York was a...
destination wedding for us, with a Christmas theme. Planning it from a thousand miles away was not easy, but with Patrick, everything fell into place. The chapel and reception space were welcoming and beautiful. My flowers were drop dead gorgeous. And Patrick even pinned the men's boutonnieres on personally, to be sure they were right. It is a pleasure to recommend someone who is both an artist and a professional. Thank you Patrick!
Patrick was amazing! From our first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. After researching florists who were staid & set in their ways, meeting Patrick was a breath of fresh air. During that first meeting, he listened and responded with wond...
erful, inventive ideas of types of flowers to use, suggestions on centerpieces and, most importantly, a beautiful chuppah which was exactly what I dreamt of. For the day, Patrick and team created beautiful, vibrant arrangements, a few boutonnieres on the fly (thank you!) and made everything so special. I highly recommend Patrick & City Iris!
From the very first email, Patrick at City Iris was beyond amazing. He was so kind and warm and passionate about what he did. He takes so much care in getting to know you and your vision, I honestly felt like we were old friends! Always on the ...
same page, he is a true expert in his field. He will go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. He even helped me find my wedding gown! I am so grateful to have found him – he made the wedding planning process enjoyable and so much fun -- and the centerpieces were truly gorgeous. You will not regret booking Patrick- he will be your wedding genie!
Beyond words. Exceptional. The team at CityIris is first class. They anticipate your every need and far exceed any expectation that I could have had for our wedding. Every little detail was flawlessly executed and well thought out. They did not...
miss a beat. They are true masters of their art. From the escort table to the ceremony stage, from the bridesmaids bouquets to the cake table - every single flower was elegant and of the utmost quality. Exactly like Patrick & Josh. Consummate professionals. Efficient, organized - and personal. They truly get to know you as the bride and emanate your style and vision better than you could have ever dreamed.
I hope everyone reads this. City Iris made a big impact on my daughter's wedding, held at Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers. Patrick was so helpful with suggestions (I'm new at marrying daughters), displaying great taste and getting all the det...
ails right. I couldn't have been more pleased, and flowers were a big topic at the wedding. I had forgotten to mention a few desires, and he accommodated us in every way, even at the last minute. We had an family cake cutter to use, and he dressed even that up! The wristlets and boutonnières were perfect, subtle and elegant. And the bouquets were gorgeous....yellows, beige, blues.....We were really pleased. He made the occasion special, and made it very simple for me. I would not ever use another.
Thanks Patrick and City Iris. I have 3 more daughters.
My wedding on July 11th was exactly what I imagined thanks to City Iris! City Iris is so much more than just a florists. Patrick is extraordinary at what he does. And he does it all - from beautiful floral arrangements for my ceremony and rec...
eption, table settings, gorgeous invitations, jewelry accessories for the day, and gown alterations just to give you an idea. My relationship with Patrick began with meeting about flowers and grew into so much more. He really understood what I wanted for the day and was so much fun to work with. I loved our meetings - he really enjoys what he does and his passion is infectious. Patrick became a huge resource and friend during the whole process. If you are looking for great service and feeling special as you plan for your wedding day City Iris is the best choice you can make!
Patrick is so wonderful to work with - he is an amazing florist, very patient, and super personable. Working with him throughout our whole wedding process was like talking to a friend. He was able to capture our vision perfectly and work with o...
ur budget. I changed my mind a few times over the year of planning and he mocked up different arrangements until I was sure of what I wanted. On our wedding day, we were so impressed by the bouquets, floral arrangements, and decor that Patrick and his team set up. I highly recommend City Iris to any bride and groom! Thank you, Patrick!
Patrick is an amazing florist and a wonderful person. He not only did our flowers but also helped us with all of the decor for our ceremony and reception. We didn't know exactly what we wanted but Patrick put together an amazing package that ma...
de our venue look stunning and was within our budget. He is creative and resourceful; we would definitely recommend him to other couples. He also referred us to City Sweets for our wedding cake which was absolutely beautiful.
I really enjoyed working with Patric and Zdzislaw for my wedding flowers. Patric and Zdzislaw were very helpful in recommending vendors and had great suggestions for flower choices. They were very easy going and responded quickly to all of my q...
uestions. Our wedding day flower arrangements were absolutely beautiful and I am so happy with the way they turned out. Patric and Zdzislaw are amazing and very flexible! I strongly recommend her to anyone.
When I first starting looking at florists, I was not sure where to start. Being new to NYC, the task seemed daunting. I picked one to email for a quote, and I was very discouraged when they told me their minimum for flowers was $10,000! I then...
reached out to my wedding venue, and City Iris was on their list of recommended florists. Patrick’s company got strong reviews, so we arranged an appointment. I showed him pictures of what I like, but I was open to his creativity because his work looked beautiful. His prices were reasonable, he gives a lot of value for what you get. The look board he initially came up with, he was happy to adjust to fit more of my preferences. Patrick went above and beyond and also showed us a demo of what he had in mind with real flowers. I enjoyed working with him so much that he also did my invitations through Monique Lhuillier, lighting, and designed special place cards, menus, table numbers and programs incorporating our theme. Patrick worked very hard to get everything right for the printing to my exact specifications! I was so thrilled by how beautiful and stunning the flowers and décor looked on the day of the wedding. He really took all my ideas to heart and came up with something that fit my vision. Guests raved about the ceremony and reception spaces. It was even more gorgeous than I had ever imagined – the flower petals down the aisle, the wonderful use of fall colors, and the attention to detail. He and Josh went above and beyond for my wedding day!!!
I have been following Patrick's work for some years now and as the years have passed his work has evolved. I knew the moment I would be engaged I was booking him to design my wedding. And to my surprise he not only provides flower decorations...
but also is a bridal stylist in hand picking wedding gowns. Working with him made me feel like I was the only client. He was so attentive and personable. All I did was tell him my vision for the wedding and he went beyond my expectations. I was looking for the wow factor and he has created that dream because my guests are still raving about the design. I will be referring him to every bride that is looking for the true bridal experience that is well deserved for your wedding.
My wedding was scheduled for next year and we had contracted City Iris for flowers, unfortunately we had to advance the date and Patrick jumped in and gave me what I wanted and then some. He met with me & my Hubby and with a few questions knew...
exactly what was needed. He is amazing! My bouquet was super special, as was the two he made for my 2 bridesmaids. My tables were small but his flowers made them look larger, original and most importantly Classy & Unique. Prompt & amazing!! I only wish I had another party just so that he could do the flowers!
Patrick of City Iris served as our florist and general consultant to the bride and her family. He was warm, supportive and able to provide
choices with no pressure -- all important since none of us had done an event like this before. He was ...
very open to discussing prices and options. In addition to flowers and building a chuppah, he arranged the purchase and tailoring of a stunning bridal gown, jewelry, --- printed programs and designed a seating chart. The wedding was beautiful and we could not have done it without him.
Patrick Martinez of City Iris is a talented florist and designer. We were so fortunate to work with him for our wedding! From our first meeting he understood our personalities and the direction we wanted for the floral and design aspects of our...
wedding.
He really captured our aesthetic and style by creating modern centerpieces with the colors and flowers we loved while using light and candles, as well as giving height to the tables and preserving lots of open space. He also incorporated our personal touch - we placed silver carousel frames with pictures of all our guests at each of their tables - without it ever disturbing his design. He also helped us rent chiavari chairs that were a perfect complement in the light and open space!
He also helped us to choose perfect flowers for our bouquets and boutonnieres - especially by fining a unique burst of color that allowed us to use a simple flower but also gave a spark.
Finally, Patrick created a perfect veil for me when I has nearly decided not to wear one. He made a simply elegant and exquisitely delicate veil that was absolutely perfect in the chapel where we were married. I cannot have imagined the ceremony without Patrick's veil nor the reception without the stunning floral, candle and vase arrangements. It was a true pleasure working with Patrick! Many thanks!
We worked with Patrick at City Iris for our Manhattan/Brooklyn wedding on July 26th, 2014. The instant I met Patrick, I immediately fell in love with him. He gave me his full attention, listened to all of my requests, and followed through with ...
all of the details we discussed. He helped create centerpieces and details beyond my wildest dreams. His visions came to life and were timeless, romantic, and beautiful. He bent over backwards to help me have the wedding of my dreams. If you are looking for a hard-working, authentic, genuine, sweet florist, look no further. Patrick and City Iris is your answer.
City Iris is amazing. Patrick took a lot of time during our initial consultation to get all of the details of our wedding down so that he could then help us plan the right flowers for the big day. He was also great when I had questions and m...
ade himself available to meet several times in order to talk through everything. He made sure that I was happy and that the flowers were exactly what I had wanted. And they were fabulous. I loved my bouquet and all the flowers. They were absolutely beautiful, everything I had envisioned and, of course, smelled amazing. Patrick was professional, responsive and accommodating during the entire process.
After my fiance and I had a terrible experience with a prior florist literally going MIA, we found Patrick! The first thing I noticed about Patrick was how responsive he was. Throughout the wedding planning what was most frustrating to me wer...
e vendors not getting back to me. This was not the case at all with Patrick. He was never for one moment ever made me feel like I had to chase him down. When we came in for a consult he had the most beautiful display ready for us. Everything I told him I wanted he delivered and then some!! He brought my vision to life so beautifully and so eloquently. He was so easy to work with and so professional. He was right on time with delivering the bouquets to the hotel we were staying at and I never for one second was worried about how the venue would look. What I didn't realize was how blown away I would be by the way he set up the tables. It was absolutely stunning. I am so happy Patrick was my florist for my wedding. I would recommend him to anyone!!
Patrick was 100% phenomenal at every step of the process. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted but I let him take the reigns and the results were overwhelmingly wonderful.... tasteful, classy, beautiful, and all my guests kept complimenting us o...
n how perfect everything looked. Patrick was patient with my numerous emails and very laid back, set up everything perfectly, and was just an overall pleasure to work with. I can't recommend him and his team highly enough.
I met with 7 (7!) florists in NYC and am in events and planned hundreds, so I know florists!
I am so happy I hired City Iris for many reasons, including--
-they have the most amazing, creative ideas to build on what I had in mind
-Patrick...
and Josh were actually protective of me and my budget instead of adding on costs, they actually had ideas to save!
-Patrick is warm, and funny, and kind, and sweet, and creative and exactly the kind of person you look forward to working with during wedding craziness...and Josh is just brilliant and creative!
-City Iris will create multiple examples of your wedding flowers so can see what it will look like (be prepared to be blown away)
I referred to Patrick and his team as "magical elves" because they created spectacular, magical, incredible flowers...without the fancy pricetag. Our wedding looked like we spent closer to $100k...although it wasn't even close!
When you first meet Patrick, you think he can't stay this sweet and lovely the entire time you work together...but he actually becomes even nicer and lovelier.
I don't think there are enough stars to properly reflect how amazing Patrick is. Aside from being just an incredible human being that was patient and kind his work is impeccable.
He is creative and kind and all of his arrangements were uniq...
ue and truly one of a kind. I wish can upload pictures to show how utterly amazing my sweetheart table was.
Literally since our initial meeting I felt he got me and my style. He didn't try to push his own agenda and instead did what I wish every BRIDE would get, he ENHANCED my vision and just made every table into a little nugget of deliciousness.
I haven't even mentioned his amazing customer service, he was quick to reply and quick to assist when i had an invitation nightmare.
DO NOT TAKE THIS REVIEW as propaganda and know that in hiring Patrick you get a florist, wedding designer and FRIEND.
Thank You for all your hardwork
Patrick provided all of the flowers and table settings for our wedding. I had a vision of the colors and accents I wanted for the wedding that I thought was perfect. But after meeting Patrick they seemed to be in black and white in comparison...
to the ideas Patrick presented. When I walked into his space for our consultation right away I noticed a beautiful table display in the room and was very excited when I found out he prepared it for me to show me his ideas for the wedding. He brought the wedding to living color for me at that point and it was very exciting to work with him and finalize the plans. I absolutely loved his energy and brainstorming with him. My bouquet complimented by dress and jewelry perfectly. My husband and the groomsmen looked very sophisticated with their purple orchid boutonnieres. The dining area was bright and full of color with the flower arrangements and table clothes in purples and oranges. I wanted my wedding to be perfect and leave a lasting impression on my guests and Patrick definitely helped to make it a memorable day.
I did a lot of research online for different Florists for my wedding. A lot of florists didn’t match my style. I wanted unique style!! I love flowers! I need someone who has as much passion as I did! But at the same time I have a limited budg...
et!! Patrick is such nice guy. The first time I meet with him, he gave me a book of "flowers" all different styles, all different kinds of flowers in the book to pick from. All you need is to let him know which kind you like. As a start, he will give you his "vision" of your wedding! He will look at your budget, and accommodate to your needs! We requested no roses in my wedding and Patrick is up for the challenge.
At the next meeting, he already set up a sample centerpiece for me to look at. When I saw the centerpiece, I fall in love with it!! It was exactly how I imagined it!! He put in
the flower I wanted and the organic feel that my husband requested.
On my wedding day, it was stressful, but I put my trust to the right person!! Patrick took care of everything. I had one less thing to worry about. I love the little lace wrap around detail on my bouquet with such elegance and beauty!! Love it, love it, love it!!!! He made it with my budget. He gave me a dream wedding with style that I dreamt of!! Thank you Patrick!!
So if you ask me, I will surely recommend CityIris as your florist for any occasion.
I met Patrick about 10 years ago at a bridal show while planning our dream wedding at the Waldorf Astoria. We met many talented floral consultants but Patrick stood out because we connected instantly. He had this amazing way to make you smile...
even in the most stressful situation. He is talented, respectful, open minded, genuine, and a lot of fun to be with. A true ideal bride's best friend.
Our wedding was perfect and Patrick played a big part of it. The reception was so beautiful that Waldorf chose to display our wedding album at their bridal salon for a period of time post the event.
Patrick did such a great job that I recommended him to my brother, my best friend, and another very good friend. Once again, he made each event beautiful and unique to each couple.
Our friendship continued even post the big day. Throughout all these years, he still continues to make me smile.
If you are looking for the perfect guy to support you throughout one of the most important events of your life, Patrick is it. He will always give 110% to insure that your wedding is perfect so you can actually enjoy your own wedding.
This review is LONG overdue, but must be written. I cannot say enough about Patrick and City Iris. I contacted Patrick at City Iris after rave reviews from every wedding site and the NY Times to do the flowers for my wedding in NY. My fiance (a...
t the time) and I recently relocated to Atlanta, so most of my communication with Patrck was via email. But after a few email exchanges and finally meeting with Patrick, I knew we were in good hands. I later discovered that Patrick was a master of all trades and he essentially became my "one stop shop" for the wedding.
When it was all said and done, Patrick had coordinated the flowers, gorgeous invitiations, custom bridesmaids dresses, custom flower girl dresses, mother of the bride dress, candy bar signs, escort cards with beautiful silver/gold shells, thank you cards, my second wedding dress, custom headpiece, earrings, bracelet, wedding belt, and custom bling veil.
Patrick was indeed heaven sent and I really don't know how I would have coordinated everything without him, especially doing most of the planning in Atlanta. He even recommended an amazing Day of Coordinator who help with the last minute scheduling and planning. I would have been lost without the two of them!!!
I love Patrick's honesty and willingness to make our vision a reality within our budget. I highly recommend Patrick/City Iris for any party planning needs. Patrick and his team are amazing!! Everyone is still talking about the details of this wedding even a year later.
We had City Iris make the centerpiece, bouquets, corsages, and boutonnières for our August 2013 wedding. My partner and I consulted with Patrick throughout the whole process, and we could not have asked for a more creative, intuitive, and cons...
iderate floral designer. His arrangement made our color scheme really pop in our wedding photos.
The reason we say he is creative and intuitive is because Patrick was a mind reader during the consultation meetings. We really did not know what type of arrangement and flowers we wanted. All we did was email him a copy of our invitation, and he was able to intuit exactly what we wanted for our floral arrangements. At our meeting with him, he prepared several display models and he communicated the meaning of each flower he had chosen. He also asked us for our input every step of the way and was not afraid to be honest with us about what could be done. Patrick is a true artist when it comes to flowers. His thoughtfulness, creativity, and seriousness for his art were what convinced us to trust him.
On the day of the wedding, Patrick was beyond thoughtful and considerate. Not only did he have everything set up by the time my partner and I arrived, but he also helped everyone put on their boutonnières and corsages. What was even more impressive was that he was able to construct additional boutonnières immediately when my partner and I realized that we had forgotten to have boutonnières created for our fathers (oops!)!
Patrick at City Iris was a godsend. Every arrangement matched our style completely, came out with amazing vivid clarity on photos, and was breathtakingly beautiful. We wholeheartedly recommend City Iris to anyone.
City Iris was one of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding. From the moment I met with Patrick I knew I would be in good hands, and I felt comfortable trusting him and his tastes throughout my entire wedding planning process.
...
The flowers and design that City Iris came up with for my wedding were absolutely breathtaking, and I received so many compliments on the look of the space. I gave Patrick just a short description of what I envisioned for my wedding, and he knew my style immediately. The end design went above and beyond my expectations, not only for the table and general decor, but for the gorgeous bouquets they created as well.
What was extra special about working with City Iris is how considerate they are towards their clients. Not only was it fun to work with them, but they genuinely want you to have the perfect day and want to work hard to create it for you. They were always available to talk, always flexible and always more than pleasant!
I did my wedding at Columbia Faculty House at the end of May and it was fantastic! The space is nice, but it couldn't have come to life without our florist/designer Patrick! I was so busy during graduate school and I worried I could easily drop...
the ball if I didn't get the right florist. Well, I definitely found the right one!
He held my hand through the whole process from the flowers at the ceremony, the reception, the bouquets and the lighting! We used two rooms and each one had a different ambiance. He also took care of our seating cards and table numbers. He designed a background that went with our theme (ours was travel since we love to travel the world) which were inspired by a postcard and our wedding colors.
Patrick does it all and when you feel overwhelmed, he's there with you every step of the way :)
Patrick at City Iris is such a joy! From our first interaction I knew that i had to hire him. He was warm, inspiring and put me completely at ease that we were going to create something beautiful together.
Throughout the whole process, Patrick...
was accommdating. He was a great communicator and never tried to push us in to choosing things that were out of budget. The other florists we met with kept pushing for bigger more expensive ideas and made it difficult to hold constructive conversations. I never felt that with him. He understood our needs and worked within them.
If i ever need to book another florist for an event, i'll go straight to him. No questions!
The city iris guys did a great job at my wedding. The flowers looked beautiful and everything was setup neatly and on time.
Patrick and Josh are outstanding to work with. They take your vision and enlarge it! But, don't worry, they will work within your budget.
They approach weddings as stylish and sophisticated events that would garner the praise of celebritie...
s, royalty and simply wow your friends and family!
