Owner
I have been designing flowers for weddings and special events for more than 20 years. I have planned thousands of weddings from the most simple to the extravagant. Each wedding is different and is made to suit the style of the couple getting married. I've worked down the shore, in Philadelphia, mansions on the Main Line, North Jersey, and of course all of our local catering facilities. You could say I specialize in textural designs with a natural look such as romantic garden or the unarranged styles. I'd love to hear about your wedding plans.

My wedding bouquet was not at all what I asked for. It was supposed to have deep fall colors like burgundy’s and plums with blush accents instead I got reds, ivory’s and lavenders. The bouquet looked like a Christmas bouquet and not fall. I was so disappointed! I felt like they didn’t listen to me or reference the photos I provided.
The staff was very friendly. Just make sure you explain exactly what you want of choosing this florist.
I changed my review from 3 stars to 4 because they did reach out to me to apologize and try to make things right which is appreciated.

Dear Jennifer,
We are so very sorry that we disappointed you with the color selection for...
your bouquet and did not meet your expectations for the corsages and boutonnieres. We will be reaching out to you the first of the week.
Sincerely,

Kurt and Mike are THE BEST! My husband and I knew what color scheme we wanted for our wedding bouquets/centerpieces/all florals, but were at a lost when it came to specific flowers and greenery. They walked us through multiple pricing options and photos to help us decide what aligned with our vision and budget the best. Everything turned out exactly how we envisioned and we would highly recommend Cook's Florist! I wish I could attach a photo of the wedding bouquet on here, but will definitely tag on Facebook and Instagram.
P.S. White anemone's look awesome in a wedding bouquet! :)

I honestly had no idea what I wanted when I sat down with Michael and Eden to discuss wedding flowers. I knew what colors the girls were wearing and that I wanted a big, cascading bouquet like my mom had when she got married, but other than that I was at a loss. Michael took his time showing me different ideas and then gave us several options to determine our budget. The day of the wedding, everything was even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. We got so many compliments on the florals, from the bouquets to the centerpieces. I wish I could attach pictures to this so you could see how stunning everything was that day. Highly, highly, recommend Cook's!

Cook's did a beautiful job for our wedding. The team was easy to work with and everything was provided correctly. The cost was a little more than I expected, but I'm told this is normal for weddings, and in the end it was indeed worth the money.

My search ended for a go-to florist for any and all of my floral-worthy events, when I met Michael from Cook’s Florist. Michael is a true professional - organized, knowledgeable, a great communicator, and especially a fantastic listener! He is sympathetic and empathetic to any manner of what you’re about to experience that calls for flowers.
Add to that, my complete and whole-hearted delight to what Cook’s envisioned and composed for the most important day of my life - my wedding! As can be expected, I was naturally nervous, but when I saw all of the beautiful arrangements that were prepared, all of my worries left me in an instant.
Working with a very basic color scheme and a general idea of what I was looking for, Michael blew me away with how magnificent all of the arrangements turned out to be! I feel truly blessed to have been able to connect with him . . . and, as I stated above, Cook’s will be my florist for life!

I went to Cook's planning just to order my centerpieces which were included in my venue's wedding package. After speaking with Michael and see the arrangement Cook's made, I knew I had to use them for all of my wedding flowers.
Cook's was very accommodating when it came to what we wanted. First off, my husband wanted something other than a simple flower arrangement (tall vases with flowers under water and a candle floating on top) for the centerpieces and they were able to make it for no extra charge outside of the package. For my bouquet, we showed him a photo of my prom bouquet from high school and asked if he could recreate it. The end result was spectacular! It looked exactly like my prom bouquet with just a small flower swap in order to match the shade of purple my bridesmaids were wearing. Michael also let me give him a small butterfly decoration from my original bouquet to put in there.
Michael was very patient with us and worked with us through the whole process. He showed us pictures of flowers when we did not know the type he was talking about. Each time I went to Cook's I had a pleasant experience with one of their employees. I would highly recommend using Cook's for any of your wedding flower needs!!

Joe was great to work with. I know nothing about flowers and all I did was tell him my color scheme and what I was looking for. He saw my vision and brought it to life. My flowers were gorgeous and I couldn't have been happier. Thank you so much for your hard work!

Michael at Cook's was great and easy to work with. He originally met with me and my parents and went over all the details. We spoke a few weeks before to again confirm. All the flowers were gorgeous and exactly what I asked for.

We got married at Auletto Caterers and Cook's centerpieces were included in the price, so we met with Michael at Cook's to design the centerpieces and decide on other flowers. I had a very low budget for additional flowers, and Michael didn't ever try to get us to increase our budget and made helpful suggestions on how to do beautiful flowers at a good price. On the day of, the flowers arrived right on time and they were all beautiful.

I could not begin to describe how pleased we are with the floral arrangements done by Cooks Florist for our wedding in May. Even before knowing what kind of dress I wanted, what flavor of cake, or even where the ceremony would be, I had a vision for my wedding flowers in my head. Cooks brought my vision to life even better than I could have ever imagined. I am so grateful to everyone there who helped put together arrangements for our wedding. It was absolutely incredible, beyond beautiful, and I still get compliments even now from family members about how beautiful the centerpieces and the bouquets were!!

Cook's Florist did an amazing job with our wedding flowers! The centerpieces, bouquets and boutineers were absolutely beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. Mike and Sue were so easy to work with! When it came to flowers, I had more of a vision of what I wanted the arrangements to look like, and not a strong preference on types of flowers I wanted. Sue did an amazing job with looking the my example pictures I brought and listening to what look I was going for and then putting together the perfect arrangement of flowers to fit what I was looking for. They were also willing to work with our budget which we greatly appreciated! We would HIGHLY recommend Cook's Florist to anyone looking for beautiful, timeless flowers for their wedding or special event!

I highly recommend Cook's Florist for your flower/bouquet needs. I used them for my wedding and got bouquets, centerpieces, corsages, and boutonnieres. Everything was beautiful. I really loved my bouquet and got a lot of compliments on it. In addition, the centerpieces were stunning. I wish I had gotten to take one home with me! Michael really listened to what I wanted and made my vision come to life. I can't recommend them enough!

My husband and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Cook's Florist! They were professional and attentive to detail. I was especially impressed when working with Mike! I had ideas of what I wanted, but not a complete vision. He gave suggestions and was able to help me create and achieve my vision, all while staying within a reasonable budget! Everything was delivered on time and turned out perfect! I would definitely recommend Cook's to our friends!

My floral package was included with my venue price, with the exception of the personal bouquets for the girls and lapel flowers for the guys, so I cannot comment on the price of their packages, personally. But working with them was effortless and their designer made beautiful arrangements. I'm a bit picky about flowers because I don't like the traditional rose/lily/carnation wedding arrangements. I gave him my colors and told him a little bit about my taste and the types of things I disliked and the arrangements he made could not have been more perfect than if I had plucked them right out of my wedding dreams!! The centerpieces were beautiful and everyone complimented the girls' bouquets all night. So happy with them!! Highly recommend!!

We used Cook's florist because they came as part of our wedding package. We were not disappointed! When planning out wedding Cook's was great at taking what we told them and translating it into the perfect flowers and perfect colors. They were very easy to work with. When the flowers arrived the day of the wedding they were gorgeous. All the bouquets looked beautiful and fresh. I would definitely recommend Cook's for any occasion.

Great service! We worked with Michael and he explained everything to us and how it all works, flowers were delivered on time and they were amazing they lasted the entire day through 2 ceremonies and ALL the pictures. They did all the flowers for my wedding, even to decorate the cake and they did a phenomenal job. I would highly recommend them because they are so experienced!

Michael made my daughter Jennifer's wedding so special with each detail he did for her wedding on October 19,2013. From the bouquets to the reception tables and omg the spray for the ceremony was to die for. My daughters bouquet was breathtaking to say the least. He took the time to get each detail to my daughter image of the flowers she wanted perfect. So thanks again Michael for the breathtaking flowers for Jenns wedding. Thanks Mark & Janet Robinson

We are so happy we found Cook's Florist for our wedding day. I had a few ideas on what look we wanted, but did not know how to execute it. When we sat down with Michael, he was extremely helpful and led us in the right direction. I gave him my colors and told him I liked simple, clean lines, and he knew just what type of flowers and bouquets to recommend. I had a few questions and changes throughout the way, and they were very helpful and accommodating. You never know what to expect before seeing everything come together, but when it did, I was blown away. The bouquets arrived on time and they were beautiful. The display flowers were stunning when I finally got the chance to admire them at the end of the night! Michael and his staff went above and beyond to ensure our flowers were exactly the way we envisioned them. They were professional and very reasonably priced. We would definitely recommend Cook's for your wedding day floral needs.

Our catering company works with Cook's to provide centerpieces for the reception, and they were so great to work with that we decided to also have all the other flowers done there as well. The flowers were beautiful and Michael did a good job of interpreting what I wanted.

I was looking for a florist that would be able to work with the prices that I had, because you ladies know, when it comes to weddings, you gotta stay within the budget. They were able to make me bouquets to meet my pricing, but I wish I could've seen how they looked before I decided that was what I wanted. I knew I was being cheap, but they didn't come out at all like I expected. The florist was running a bit late delivering the flowers so that stressed me out and it just started a snowball effect from there. Don't get me wrong, Cook's Florist staff was very nice and they definitely stayed in my price range. Just would've like to see an actual preview so maybe I would've spend a bit more money. But hey, they are just flowers, right?

Where do I begin in this review? My experience with Cook's could not have gone better. On our first consultation we sat down we Michael who took our ideas and really expanded on them. On the day of my wedding the flowers, centerpieces and arch work simply took my breath away! Great experience, would highly recommend!

Michael helped us put our envision of our wedding flowers into a reality from the ceremony to the reception and for our wedding cake. The flowers and candles for the ceremony set the romantic mood, putting such creative and personal touches from the aisle all the way up to arch that we stood near. The wine bottle center pieces for the reception tied in the "wine theme" we had going for our whole wedding.

I absolutely LOVED my centerpieces from Cooks Florist! I provided the vases and they tailored the flowers to fit them perfectly. They turned out to be exactly as I pictured them and I couldn't be happier with the results. Just amazing. And the staff were personable and friendly and happy to listen to what I wanted in the centerpieces. A great place for wedding flowers for sure!

Cook's came recommended to us by our venue, Auletto Caterers. Cook's provides all the centerpieces and table flowers for Auletto's, and we choose to use them for our wedding party flowers as well. The flowers were absolutely beautiful, and I could not believe the value for the money. When I told the woman who was helping me that our budget for the wedding party flowers was $600, she cautioned me that the bouquets would be on the smaller side, but they could incorporate all of the flowers that we spoke about. When the flowers arrived at my apartment on our wedding day, I could not believe how beautiful they were. The bouquets were all a perfect size, and I did not find them to be small at ALL! The people who work there were very helpful in advising me on what sorts of flowers would work with my color scheme, since I had no idea what flowers I wanted. Every turned out beautifully without breaking my bank.
