Designs By Ahn

and it was such a breeze all weekend long. The flowers were stunning in every way - we got a ton of compliments on them - and we couldn't have asked for anything more! I can't recommend Designs by Ahn enough for your wedding and events!!

random e-mail from an employee I hadn’t spoken to before asking if I was ready to make my payment for my flowers. My flowers had already been paid for, whether this was an attempt at a scam or not, I don’t know but it didn’t fill me with confidence. 2) On the day of my wedding they forgot to include (an already specified and agreed) button hole for my now husband. We had to go ahead with the wedding without it, which was a stress and a challenge we didn’t appreciate on the day and something we can’t make up for. 3) When contacting to register this issue over two weeks ago, I was told that for some reason the buttonhole hadn’t been included in my total price and so it was left off. This was an error on the vendors part and I couldn’t have picked this error up otherwise I would have sorted it. I was offered as a ‘good will gesture’ a refund of my delivery charge. Which has never arrived. 3) Their flowers are average at best. What arrived on the day weren’t what I was expecting, despite us discussing example flowers (from their website). I honestly feel I could have put something better together myself from Wholefoods. I would honestly say - avoid at all costs. It’s not worth the stress.

e whole process and listen to all of your input, taking everything into consideration. Highly recommend!

are gorgeous!! During my wedding day, when i got hold of my wedding flowers i was in bliss! It was the most beautiful bouquet i have ever seen!!

f the staff at DBA were receptive to our ideas and a genuine pleasure to work with. I couldn’t recommend them more. The wedding was postponed twice and Victoria worked with us to move the floral arrangements forward into different seasons. They were polished, organized and professional throughout. I am hugely thankful.

hey responded so quickly, politely and like nothing I could possibly ask was a bother to them. We came to see a sample arrangement a few weeks before the wedding and I wasn't completely thrilled with it due to a miscommunication about color scheme, but they listened to everything I wanted to change and on the wedding day they came out 10x BETTER than I even imagined. There was an actual blizzard on our day and they delivered all our arrangements on time and looking so pristine they could be in a magazine.

ever! Victoria and Riane were amazing people to work with throughout the process.

dating and made sure my new date worked for them. The flowers delivered were stunning!! I had a small vision of what I wanted but Victoria really helped bring it to life. I could not have asked for a better florist and design team!

in terms of vision, but also in regards to budget. She was honest and solutions oriented. The ceiling of our cocktail hour tent was absolutely stunning, and the table arrangements were breathtaking. I can't wait to get back the rest of our photos to enjoy the intentionality all over again!

e and don't like and Designs by Ahn was able to take my vague directions and execute beautifully. The flowers at my wedding were beyond gorgeous and I'm so grateful to them for making my wedding day so perfect. Thank you again so much!!!

the final product on the day of. She brought my vision to life and really went out of her way to find my flower of choice for the arrangements despite them not being in season. All our guests were in awe and kept complimenting the floral decor! From the hanging ceiling vines to the blooming entryway, everything looked like an enchanted garden. She was also very transparent with the cost of any additions to the invoice and worked to stay within my budget while not sacrificing the vision. Highly recommend if you want to have beautiful romantic floral arrangements at your event!

and if I could have taken it home, I would have. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my entire life and fit perfectly framed behind our sweetheart table. Riane and Victoria were very responsive to all my annoying emails and proposal changes leading up to our big day.

is comforting throughout the whole process. I was truly blown away and I am still dreaming of the flowers from that day. It was truly magical!!

ally loved the flower arch for our ceremony, the seating chart with everyone's names on it, and the flower wall they created over an old, ugly curtain that was on the wall of the dance floor at the venue. (Especially since it poured halfway through our ceremony so everyone had to impromptu move inside to finish the ceremony on the dance floor with the flower wall behind us!) They also were able to provide anemones in August which I greatly appreciated! There were a few items that were mixed-up day-of that we just wanted to touch on: First, we had mix gendered wedding parties and my husband's wedding party was getting ready at his parents' house while my side of the wedding party was getting ready at the hotel suite. DBA mixed this up and did it traditionally according to gender- bringing all the bouquets to the hotel suite, and all the boutonnieres to where my husband was getting ready. This was lucky in the end, however, as they had messed up the order a bit. In order to "differentiate" sides my husband requested my side would have white flowers and his would have blue. The blue flowers in the bouquets for some strange reason were white flowers that had artificially been dyed blue which we very much did not want or request. So, in the middle of getting my hair done, I stopped and disappeared into the bedroom of the suite for about 30-45 minutes with my Matron of Honor redoing the bouquets by hand with flowers leftover from the rehearsal dinner we luckily had lying around, calling DBA, and coordinating with the deliveryman where which bouquets and boutonnieres needed to go. The hair and makeup artist also became visibly annoyed by this and kept insisting I come back outside the bedroom to get my hair finished which added more stress. Not to mention some of the white flowers in the bouquet were drying/dying a bit, but the deliveryman managed to get us new ones from the truck. Additionally, I unfortunately did not get eyes on the flower girl's basket ahead of time but the ugly blue dyed flowers were in there as well. (I noticed mid-ceremony.) Luckily the blue dyed flowers didn't make it into any of the other wedding arrangements though. Finally, I had asked for an oversize, cascading bouquet for myself and it felt a little skimpy and was not cascading, save for maybe one or two small vines that hung slightly lower than the rest of the flowers. It looked nice, but wasn't quite what I envisioned or requested. It was quite stressful especially since I didn't have a wedding planner or coordinator that knew what the order was actually supposed to be, but luckily my Matron of Honor and I were able to fix the bouquets and reroute everything to where it needed to be. However, I would have preferred to have spent those 30-45 minutes with my family and wedding party. With all of that said, I do recognize how large and complex all the arrangements were for the weekend so something was bound to be incorrect and overall we were very happy with how most everything came out aesthetically. If your order is big or complex, I'd advocate having a wedding planner who knows the ins and outs so you are not managing vendors instead of enjoying your day. Thank you DBA for beautiful arrangements overall though!

met Victoria in-person for an initial discussion and proposal, we knew she was the one we could trust with taking a vision and bringing it to life in her own way. Thank you to Victoria and the DBA team for leading us through the planning (from initial proposal to making countless edits over months leading up to the wedding and through to the day of!) and being true partners in the process. The team was very responsive and easy to communicate with, and when things were more easily discussed in-person, a face-to-face meeting would be arranged. We had 2 venues (cathedral for our ceremony and Essex House for our reception) and the coordination to make that it all happen -- and to transport some of the elements from cathedral to Essex House -- was perfection. Our wedding florals were breathtakingly gorgeous and we are so grateful to Victoria and the DBA team for turning our vision into a reality so beautifully and gracefully. STUNNING!!!

Her team responded quickly to my emails, worked with me in my budget, and provided seamless delivery and pickup. I was blown away by the color scheme - it was exactly what I wanted without even really describing it. Thank you Victoria & the Designs by Ahn team, you guys are truly the best of the best!

s so here is my condensed note to help other brides like myself who are looking for a creative, sophisticated team that will be trustworthy partners for a very special day. I knew some clear concepts that I wanted and had some notes when I first connected with Designs by Ahn (after another floral designer friend recommended her, which was already a good sign). We had clear and pleasant walk through of what should be included in her proposal and I walked away feeling heard. And I was right! The colors, styles, and my preferences that were important distinctions were all noted and accounted for in my proposal and I immediately felt at ease choosing someone who could listen to me, guide me with her expertise, AND be truly sincerely pleasant and friendly the entire time. The team and I connected at some point briefly prior to the my design meeting to quickly revise some estimates on the amount of candles and tables. This was easy to manage and set us up for an easy decor meeting that was a relief amidst a number of other more stressful wedding tasks I had. For example, I had stressed the importance of greenery to me and this was reflected. I had given specific numbers for candles (many many) and it was tracked, noted ... I felt both heard and guided leading up to the big day. And on my wedding day, Victoria earned all the reviews, recommendations, and future work I can offer due to a number of key items. Most importantly, the vision came alive as we had discussed! I felt like ALL the candles and ALL the flowers came together in the VERY BEST version of our plan. Second, she executed like an absolute pro - our venue had an extremely tight turnaround for the ceremony space and the team set up HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of candles and flowers!! Lastly, she went above and beyond. For my mid-October wedding, I had wanted Lily of the Valley for my bridal bouquet but understood from early conversations that it is a SPRING flower and may not be the best choice. On my wedding day, months later, despite no other follow up from me, I stared in disbelief that the Designs by Ahn team had successfully found the beautiful flower for my dream bouquet. I felt special and prepared for an amazing celebration!!

initely delivered on the day of. I could not have been happier with the turn out and we got so many compliments about how beautiful the flowers and decor were; from the aisle decor, altar decor, centerpieces, boquets, etc., everything was beautiful & breathtaking and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Thank you to Designs by Ahn for making our wedding complete!!!!

roughout because I didn't wanna get overwhelmed. I first did my consultation with someone who does not work for the company anymore. She was great and I was very direct with my color scheme. I came back in a month before the wedding and did a review with Victoria and it was stunning. We corrected a few things and settled our payment. Two days before my wedding when all the stress started kicking in I received an email with a first look at the prepared arraignments and it was very different from what I signed off on. My fiance communicated with them because we honestly felt it was someone else's arraignment! All was corrected and I was very grateful for that email but it was something I think all brides could do without. It is important to remember that things happen, and it was corrected without any stress which is a merit to them. Victoria's style is chic, whimsical, and romantic. I would recommend her for someone who wanted to lay their trust in the designer, who wants their flowers to be a reflection of high-end style, and is playful. She is extremely talented and her team is professional.

s at once and her use of color is incredible. Our venue, Tavern on the Green, already provides a lot of greenery as a backdrop and we really wanted the flowers to make a statement against that. We asked to have flowers hanging from our tent over the dance floor, but didn’t give much direction other than that. When we walked into our reception, we were totally blown away by what her and her team were able to create. The bridal bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets, groomsmen boutonnieres, and even our dog's flower collar were beyond anything we expected - perfect use of color and greenery. On top of all this, their quote was very reasonable and worth every penny. Easily the best floral design team in NYC. Thank you for making our floral dreams come true!

ue artist. Our guests could not get over what she created for us - it was absolute magic! Phenomenal - 5 stars!

table. However, for the table with the place cards, and the bridal bouquet, I wished it was presented and arranged better. It was not as beautiful as what I was anticipating, and in my perspective didn't seem as creatively arranged. The flowers in the bouquet and the table for place cards also didn't look like they are still full of life. Hiring a florist is never inexpensive in a place like New York. We had couple's photo shoot overseas and for the same amount you will pay for a bouquet in New York, the quality had been better in France.
