Floriography

Perfection! My flowers were breathtaking, the colors were perfect, the arrangement of the flowers were stunning, the centerpieces should be in a museum of all things perfect! Angela works magic she took my idea and made it elegant and eye catching but not overdone even though I love over done! I’m sure the first day I showed her my vision she thought I was maybe a little gaudy but she made everything drip in class and elegance. My guests are still talking about the centerpieces and how they wanted to take them home but thought they were too perfect to move! Customer service is impeccable I miscounted a whole bridesmaid and groomsman the ENTIRE time I was planning. I literally called her the night before the wedding in a panic and she simply said don’t worry I have enough it’s fine. I was shocked I thought for sure she would be frantic nope, pulled it off and it was amazing. I am so in love every time I see a picture of those flowers! I wish I was a better writer because what I feel about those flowers cannot be put into words! I literally have to take a deep breath and smile every time I think of them! Thank you for making them perfect!

My wedding was at Waterloo Village this past July and my bouquets, arch and table decorations were absolutely beautiful and turned out exactly the way that I wanted them! The pricing was fair and delivery was prompt. I would definitely recommend to any bride in the area!

***PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE BOOKING WITH FLORIOGRAPHY/PAYING THE DEPOSIT*** We were married last week, and hired Floriography for our wedding flowers and signage at the glowing recommendation of our venue. Sadly, this is the ONLY wedding vendor we used that we would hesitate to recommend. I will say that Angela's work is beautiful, HOWEVER, that doesn't make up for the following issues we experienced: 1. LACK OF COMMUNICATION- We didn't realize that Angela prefers texts over emails, and had to get our venue involved when our multiple emails went unanswered for WEEKS (emails as simple as asking if our deposit was received and if our booking was confirmed). They should hire an assistant if they aren't able to answer client emails; a business which supports email as a form of communication should be comfortable and competent communicating via that channel. Texts are not really appropriate when you are attempting to ask multiple questions/seek clarification on multiple details. When you are wedding planning, you do NOT need the added stress that lack of communication brings. 2. MULTIPLE DETAILS COMPLETELY WRONG ON WEDDING DAY: We were supposed to get our seating chart printed on a large 10-foot gold mirror, however it was done on an acrylic see-through sign. We were supposed to get lilies (my favorite flower) in our table centerpieces per our contract (which I'm sure was built into our pricing and we paid for), but they were not included. When setting up our tables at the venue, they placed the wrong table #s on 2 tables, which wasn't caught until guests had already been seated and there was nothing we could do to rectify the situation. When speaking with Angela about these issues after our wedding, she was apologetic (of note, however, no refund amount was offered), although she basically blamed me that the example seating chart I sent her wouldn't work in the mirror design we had chosen (but she never reached out to discuss this with me), she told me the lilies weren't included because she didn't put them in the centerpiece mock-up which I had approved prior to the wedding (I had forgotten to check for the lilies when we were at our final appointment [hello, wedding stress!], but inquired about them TWICE afterwards once I realized I didn't see them and those inquiries were clearly never read), and blamed our venue for giving them the wrong seating chart for the table # mishap (which wasn't the case, as the venue caught the mistake, albeit too late). In summary, I would think twice before paying Floriography for their services (which were not inexpensive, by the way) when what they delivered was NOT 100% what was agreed upon in our written contract/invoice. You will go through enough stress with the wedding planning process itself, and do NOT need further frustration from a vendor who lacks communication skills and attention to detail!

Angela is an artist -her canvas is your site and her paint is flowers. She transformed a staid old club into a magical wedding venue. The florals – from altar to tables added warmth and grandeur to the setting and the day. She picked the perfect linens to compliment the flowers and tie it all together- it was magical.

Angela and her team brought our wedding to LIFE! Angela is so talented, and she knows what to do to make your vision come to life. We had an initial meeting where we went into the showroom to talk vision, then about a month before the wedding we went out to her farm to see a mock up of one of our centerpieces. The flowers on our wedding day were simply stunning. The centerpieces brought our ballroom to life! Our wedding wouldn't have been what it was without Floriography. THANK YOU!

My flowers came out better than I imagined. I had the absolute best flowers for my wedding and everything came out so perfect. I can’t thank you enough Angela and the whole team for bringing my vision to life. I wanted fall colors with a bit of boho. They really came out to perfection. I also rented a hexagon alter, lanterns, centerpiece candles and it all came out fantastic! It was the easiest part of planning a wedding. Be sure to book Floriography for your big day, you will be so happy you did.

Holy Cow!!! If you don’t hire Angela to do your wedding flowers you are crazy! Not only is she super sweet and easy to work with but she is insanely talented! I absolutely love love loved my flowers I even sent them to be preserved! She did exactly what I wanted and every detail was so perfectly executed. She did my center pieces, my bouquet, my girls boquetes, and decorated my venue! Thank you Angela for making my day so beautiful! I can not wait to use you again in the future!!!

We got a recommendation from our wedding venue for Floriography Design. We used Angela for my daughter's bridal shower and she did an amazing job. So we thought for the wedding it was going to be just as beautiful. We were in contact with Angela from day one through the wedding week. Communication was always very difficult. We had a very hard time getting in touch with Angela weather it was through email, text or phone calls. Angela droped the ball on my daughter's bouquet. It was a totally different bouquet that we received the day of the wedding. We did get reimbursed for the bouquet. But the flowers were a complete failure. All Angela said to us was look at the contract. And she asked the day of the wedding how everything was. And I said fine. But even if I told her wheat was wrong there was nothing she could of done at that point. The rose petals were brown, flowers on the corsages browned on everyone. Bridemaid bouquet turned brown also. When my daughter called Angela a couple of days after the wedding to let her know how unhappy she was. Angela said I knew you were going to be one of those brides. Really... I would not recommend this florist.....

Best service ever you can imagine. I met her at a bridal show and I I loved her job. They did my Engagement party, the bridal shower and our wedding. It was stunning, breath taken . there is no words to describe the talent for this company. they will be part of us in every event in our life.

We had a wonderful experience with Angela at Floriography. She designed the flowers for our church wedding and reception at the Mansion at Mountain Lakes. She is so kind and creative, and will bring any of your ideas to life. The flowers at our ceremony and reception were absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful day for us!

Loved the floral arch and the bouquets that Angela created for us. From the very start she was flexible and ended up creating the vision I wanted. My bouquet was intended to be a recreation of my moms bouquet from when she got married and Angela pulled through despite the not great quality pictures I shared with her. The sweet heart table was also overflowing with flowers.

The flowers were amazing. Everyone talked about how great the cascading bouquet was. We just ordered bouquets but if these turned out wonderful, I can just imagine everything else they do. It was an easy transaction and we changed delivery to pick up. Even though pickup at store didn’t start until 10am, they told us to meet them at 8am at their farm for easy pickup. I appreciate all their help and communication.

Angela truly understands how to bring flowers to another level when it comes to weddings! After my mom and I went to speak with Angela for our first consultation, we immediately felt confident that she was the right florist for my wedding. Angela is a true artist and really takes the time to understand what you're looking for (even if you can't fully verbalize it) and transforms your vision beyond expectation. We were blown away by how beautiful the bouquets, boutonnières, sweetheart table, mantle and pedestals were with the vibrant array of flowers she used, and my husband and I cannot count how many positive comments we received from guests who were in love with the arrangements. A great experience from start to finish!

I cannot say enough about this florist! My original florist cancelled on me within 40 days of my wedding and left me in a panic. I walked into the showroom, explained my situation and was sat down instantly for my first consultation. Without hesitation, I was booked that evening and could not feel more relieved than I did walking out of the showroom knowing my flowers were going to be amazing! When I returned for my mock up, I was blown away. It wasn't a "half you know what" mock up. It was full size, correct flowers, and absolutely stunning. They took all of my table decor to allow a seamless set up and me no worries. The day of came and when I saw the room for the first time - my vision was EXACTLY portrayed. They went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I wanted, plus some! We received so many compliments! The winter romance vibe was on point. Having been married since Saturday, my centerpieces are still perfect and have fresh flowers as if it was the day of. I cannot recommend Floriography any more - they are amazing!

I am extremely disappointed in our wedding flowers. I had a very difficult time getting a hold of Angela prior to the wedding and she even double booked us when we were scheduled for our final appointment and we were asked to come back later. My bouquet did not have the flowers that were requested and agreed to. Additionally, it was the same size as my bridesmaid bouquets yet it was 3x the price. Every one of my bridesmaids even said the same thing, that my bouquet was the same as theirs. We could only tell them apart because mine had charms on them. Several of the boutonnieres were wilted by the time the reception began. We were also not provided with several items that we paid for. I reached out to the vendor before writing this review to see if she'd rectify anything but she was dismissive. I would be careful when booking this vendor especially if you have specific items that you need or really care about your flowers. I paid a lot of money for the things that I thought I was getting and I couldn't be any more disappointed or upset.

Angela made my wedding a dream! From the beginning consultation to the second she handed me my gorgeous bouquet I was extremely impressed. She hand sketches your flower design as well so you know how personalized her service will be. Each and every flower was stunning and smelled incredible. I have guests that are still in awe with how she transformed the space to fit my magical, fall forest vision! Also she was able to help with the table settings which was such a beautiful gesture and bonus. Angela is one of the most incredible florists I have ever met, any bride would be lucky to have her. I highly recommend floriography for any wedding or future event!

Angela and her husband were amazing! They traveled 2 hours for us, mastered the extreme heat, and did EVERYTHING for us!!! From flowers, to tables, to backdrops. They made everything look AMAZING. There isn’t one thing I would change. From our first meeting with them- they knew exactly the style we wanted and made the day perfect and more beautiful than I could imagine!

From start to finish, Angela was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her talent and creativity shine through her work , but what really sets Floriography apart is Angela's level of professionalism and consideration. Having to reschedule our wedding 3 times due to the pandemic came with many challenges. Angela was so accommodating and thoughtful throughout our (3 year!) planning and re-planning process. We were never met with any hesitation with changes to color schemes, design, amount of flowers, etc. Since our date changed so many times, we had plans for different seasons with slight variations. With each change we threw her way, Angela maintained focus on my request for seasonally available flowers. Each time she was willing and able to support this and made recommendations accordingly. It was easy to get discouraged having to edit our plans each time, but with Angela's support she made this process as enjoyable as possible. Having regular correspondence with her kept my mind at ease that no matter how many challenges came our way, Angela would handle it! Angela took creative liberties that made our wedding more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. She stuck with our overall plan, but took extra thoughtful steps that blew us all away on the day of the event. I could not have been happier! It was a relief to have a team like Floriography as a vendor. I was so thankful to be able to put my complete trust in them and know everything was being handled with such a level of care. I highly, highly recommend Angela and her team and look forward to using them for other events in the future.

Angela was absolutely incredible! She made our floral vision come true. She created a beautiful cascading bouquet, decorated our reception room in gorgeous florals, and created a masterpiece on the arbor. I could not recommend her enough! Thank you for everything, Angela!

Angela / Chris - team members are truly beautiful! This lovely lady and her team know exactly how to create beautiful elegant boutiques of color, art, and sensational grace all in one day! Our beautiful color combinations were blues, purples, soft ivories which includes poppies, antique roses, and hydrangeas! I was stunned when I peaked in the ceremony room and her incredible team was decorating our beautiful arch with all the magic and beauty my husband and I planned for! She exceeded my expectations all around! Angela is a gorgeous person inside and out that makes the day feel so beautiful! Wait until you see your sweetheart table! Flowing beauties all around ... call her and make the magic come alive!

Angela was recommended to us by our planner and I'll admit I was so nervous that the vision I had in my head wouldn't be able to be duplicated but she did such an amazing job! My bouquet and my girls bouquets were exquisite. I still can't stop thinking about my bouquet, the gorgeous flowers she used. I had peonies and hot chocolate calla lilies (a flower I never even heard of until we started designing for our wedding) and I can't even explain the joy when I walked into the ballroom. Her love for what she does was in every floral element of that room! We were in love with our sweetheart table and got so many compliments on the flowers and all the candles. She is highly recommended by us and we hope we can work with her for something in the future!!

You can’t spell Angela without angel! I was first introduced to Angela by my planner. She portrayed extreme professionalism and true passion for her craft. Angela took the time to sit with us for almost two hours educating us on all the flowers and options we had to bring our vision to life! Angela took a sketch and ran with it! I not once had any reservations or worries about a single thing!! She listened to our budget needs and not once pushed us to go with something that was out of our reach. She listened to my many questions and not once looked annoyed or in a rush to leave. Once my husband and I decided to postpone our wedding and then revert to our original date, Angela worked with our planner with no questions asked. Once I arrived at our ceremony location, I was astonished by the beauty! I could not believe this came from a sketch! The flowers and details were absolutely breathtaking! Angela and her team made us feel so special! Would highly recommend working with Angela!!

Floriography did such a great job on the flowers for our wedding. We worked with Angela and she helped us create a vision of what we wanted, and pulled everything off perfectly within our budget. They designed our tables, the reception centerpieces were great, and made all the bouquets, corsages, and everything was stunning, elegant, and exactly what we wanted. Thank you!

Angela was so amazing! I did not really have a vision for my wedding flowers and she did a wonderful job of putting together the look and feel for my day. She walked me through different options, talked about what would be complimentary to my colors, and knocked it out of the park on the execution. She was by far the easiest vendor I worked with and made the entire process (which felt daunting for me) so seamless. Thank you Angela! Everything was beyond beautiful and we had so many compliments on the flower arrangements.

WOW!! I have nothing but amazing things to say about Angela and her team. I originally had a different florist that was trying to nickel and dime me. I just happened to see a pic of an arrangement from Angela and her team on facebook and inquired about a quote. I had a very productive meeting with Angela where we discussed my vision, what colors, what flowers were in my budget etc. She made the whole process very very EASY. The day of the wedding, she worked with my chaotic schedule to drop things off etc. The flowers (centerpieces, corsages, boutonnieres, bouquets) all were perfection! I received so many compliments! HIGHLY recommend!

Angela was a total pleasure to work with! Our centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnières and every arrangement were beautiful! Angela made the whole process a breeze; we picked our colors and a few specifics flowers and she did the rest. She was extremely flexible with any changes that were needed and we got so many compliments on our centerpieces. I would recommend Floriography Designs in Rockaway/Denville to anyone!

I highly recommend Floriography. Angela did an incredible job on our wedding and I really felt she understood my vision and style. And she was able to do it within our budget. The centerpieces, bouquets, ceremony decorations... everything was exactly how I wanted it & more!

Angela and her husband are AMAZING and I could not have asked for a better florist to bring the vision for our wedding to life. Not only was Angela genuinely excited and invested in every detail of the day, but she went above and beyond to make suggestions and add special touches on to EVERY piece she created to make it extra special. My table centerpieces were better than I could have ever imagined and I love mine and my bridesmaids bouquets so much that I am having them preserved to display in our home. Our wedding venue even asked to keep one of our centerpieces because they were "absolutely amazing." On top of her exceptional talents and artistic ability, Angela remembers your name every time you call or contact her which is so comforting and reassuring when you are working with someone to help plan your wedding day. Floriography is unparalleled and I could not have imagined our day without them.

This florist was very kind and professional. She is an expert when it comes to flowers. I highly recommend going to her. My wedding looked amazing with all the hard work that she put into it.

Angela and her husband are amazing! They created such beautiful flowers for our wedding party, ceremony room and reception area. My mom was the one who kept in communication with Angela but she was extremely pleased! They were patient, professional, understanding, sweet and accommodating. Angela customized my bridal bouquet beyond my wildest dreams. We would use them again and again. Thank you for making our winter wonderland come to life!!

Our wedding was this past October on a Friday evening... I had chosen to work with Floriography this past February, and they were listed as a preferred vendor by our venue. Let me just say that Angela and her team are very, very busy people - all because of their commitment to delivering the best in their business. Angela was committed right from the start. Even during more hectic days, she made a point of getting on the phone with me within a few hours of receiving my emails and arranging multiple consultations due to my long distance situation. When I needed to change course and realized the flower plan was not completing my vision, she gave her extra time and creative energy into helping me form something from scratch based only on what I personally loved. She was also more than happy to help me cut a bit of cost without sacrificing my vision. And the results were PHENOMENAL! While we did craft our own centerpieces, I had the bouquets and archway done by Angela and her team. We even still hear from many of our guests about how "uniquely beautiful" all the floral work was (often one of the least memorable parts of a wedding!). Her enthusiasm for her job comes across as warm and encouraging to an overwhelmed bride-to-be. Worth every penny!!!

Angela was so great to work with! I really didn't know anything about wedding flowers when starting to plan. I was able to bring Angela inspiration photos of what I had envisioned and she was able to point me in the right direction with various arrangements while still maintaining affordability. Angela made beautiful arrangements for the bridal party, down the aisle, and pieces for the alter and welcome signs, as well as table center pieces, garland for a staircase, and filling bird cages. From planning to the day of, Angela was a pleasure to work with and we are so happy with how everything turned out!

Angela was great to work with the the flowers were absolutely stunning and prettier than I could have imagined.

Angela was wonderful to work with! We had a budget to stick to and she was able to create absolutely beautiful designs for our wedding within it! Our centerpieces, bouquets, and chuppah were beyond what we expected. You can tell she truly loves what she does! She had creative suggestions, but also respected what we wanted. So happy we found her!

To say Angela and her team were amazing is an understatement. Angela turned my vision of a forest wedding into reality. We had handmade trees with wildflowers underneath them as our centerpieces, wildflower bunches on the windows and decor tables, and a huge wood display in front of the head table which was covered with flowers, candles, moss, lanterns. All the bouquets and boutonnieres were followed the wildflower theme. All of the flowers were fresh, beautiful, and absolutely everywhere. I shed a few tears walking into the ballroom the first time. It was the wedding I dreamt of and I really cant thank Angela and her team enough for turning my dream into a reality. She really went above and beyond and did an amazing job. I would HIGHLY recommend her and her team.

Angela does amazing work!! She was great to work with and made sketches of the designs so we had an idea of what the different arrangements would look like. The day of the wedding everything was delivered on time and done exactly how we talked about. The flowers were amazing. The colors were so vibrate and everything looked so fresh. I would recommend Angela's work!

Angela and the Floriography team went above and beyond on the florals for my spring nautical wedding. I had a specific vision, a lot of my own decor, and a specific budget. Angela was so easy to work with, flexible, she understood my vision, and took it beyond anything I could dream of. The florals were exquisite, fresh, and beautifully designed. Angela isn’t just a florist, she’s a designer. I received so many compliments. I met numerous florists during my wedding planning - most of which wouldn’t work with my decor or budget. Floriography made everything so easy. Highly recommend

Angela was great with me throughout the entirety of planning. I gave her my flower budget and my ideas and she created beautiful pieces from that all within budget. I love that after your initial meeting, she'll come back next time with a presentation complete with hand-painted watercolor pictures of her vision for your bouquets and table arrangements. Not only did she arrange the flowers, but we also bought books to incorporate into our table arrangements and she took care of all of that. She also made our table numbers displays with painted silhouettes. I loved everything and got a lot of compliments on how beautiful everything was. I would highly recommend Angela and her team.

Angela is an angel!! What a sweet, knowledgeable, accommodating, amazing woman. I didn't want to spend an astronomical amount of my budget on flowers, but I did have an idea of what I wanted.. colors, style, etc. She listened to me, offered suggestions, never pushing her opinions, but always hearing what I thought first. After we went through the flowers and a list of the cost, she was always open to switching anything necessary to make sure that I was comfortable with the cost. The flowers turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!! I am more than pleased. The flowers for my cake were awesome too!!!!

Angela is amazing! We originally thought we would try to DIY our own flowers, but as the wedding date got closer and we got busy with work, we decided that maybe hiring a professional would be best. I was worried that looking for a florist so close to the date (2-3 months) would be expensive and difficult but not so. Floriography was recommended by our venue, so we gave Angela a call to see if she was available. She immediately got back to us and scheduled an appointment for the same week. It was great to collaborate with her on our centerpieces and ceremonial arch as we had already purchased and built some elements for them. Her recommendation and designs really complemented with our pieces. Angela was great to work with, with easy and fast communication throughout the entire process. She worked well within our budget and even added a few surprises on the day of. I wanted simplicity for my flowers (white flowers and greenery) and she delivered gorgeous, blooming flowers and outstanding service.

I couldn't have wished for more beautiful flowers for our wedding at Perona Farms! Angela managed to get everything I wished for just right, from my bouquet to the center pieces to the flower girl basket. She made the most beautiful arch for the ceremony exactly how I had pictured it. I can't recommend her enough!!

Angela is such a pleasure to work with! She met with me 3 times (including the initial consultation) before my wedding to make sure that we were on the same page. I wanted my centerpieces done in a particular way with specific water lilies and colors and her team really came through. My guests loved them and I couldn't be happier. Angela's work was excellent for the price point she gave us (all other florists I contacted charged WAY out of our budget) and she even throws in complimentary little centerpieces for your cocktail hour which is thoughtful. I would definitely recommend Angela and her team at Floriography!

DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST! I had a horrible experience with Angela. She failed to comply with the invoice/contract, the flowers were wilted - before the ceremony, the wrist corsages broke almost immediately, she was late showing up to drop off the flowers and failed to deliver the correct number of bouquets. STAY AWAY!

The flowers from floriography are beautiful! They were exactly what I asked for and the babies breath headbands I ordered were flawless. Everything was beautiful! The bouquets did wilt after about only 3 hours so they were a little different by the time pictures were happening but it was still great!

Angela is not just a florist but an artist! She is so talented and artistic. She's willing to work with you within your budget and has so many beautiful ideas and exotic flowers. She gets back to you in a timely manner. We highly recommend Floriography for any wedding or special event!
