BEAUTIFUL PERFECTION. Andrew and the team at FBB are AMAZING. We worked with FBB for our wedding in NYC last weekend. If you want your wedding vision on paper to come to life in the most magical and seamless way possible - work with this team!!!!
The pictures say it all, but Andrew truly was there for us every step of the way. From our first meeting, making suggestions and recommendations based on our vision/budget and style, to the very end, seeing our ceremony, reception, etc. all dressed up in white and ivory florals - it was STUNNING. Not to mention, was SO flexible when it came to adding small details/additions here and there. We are so grateful.
The FBB team is SO communicative (with other vendors as well), on-top of everything, detail oriented, and professional. They truly made it SO easy to feel secure about every decision we made when it came to florals and design. We trusted them wholeheartedly and they over delivered. Words don't do it justice.
BIG thank you to ANDREW - we love you!!!! You made our dream wedding possible.

Flowers by Brian, specifically Virgil, created such gorgeous designs for our wedding in October!!! The flowers were so full and fresh. Virgil met and spoke with me various times to map out my vision and he was spot on! I wanted neutral flowers and they were able to achieve that while making the arrangements look textured and interesting. They even created a beautiful arrangement to honor my late father and father-in-law. Flowers by Brian is an outstanding florist!!

We used Flowers by Brian for our wedding this past weekend at The Lannin. It was such a pleasure working with Virgil! I explained my color scheme and vision and Virgil brought everything to life- from my beautiful chuppah, to each centerpiece to my STUNNING bridal and bridesmaids bouquets. Virgil gave great recommendations and was so kind and communicative leading up to my wedding day.

We are beyond thrilled with the stunning floral arrangements Virgil and his team created for our wedding! The red flowers were absolutely breathtaking, adding warmth, romance, and vibrance to every corner of our celebration. Virgil has an incredible talent for transforming spaces into something truly magical, and the results far exceeded our expectations.
Every detail, from the bouquets to the centerpieces, was flawless. The bold yet elegant arrangements showcased Virgil’s creativity and impeccable taste. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how gorgeous the flowers were and how they brought such an unforgettable touch to the day.
We are so grateful for Virgil’s hard work, vision, and dedication. He helped make our wedding not only beautiful but truly memorable. We highly recommend Virgil and his team to anyone looking for extraordinary floral design!

As we look through our photos and reminisce about our magical and dreamy wedding on Saturday, we can’t stop mentioning the florals!!!! From the gorgeous and ethereal chuppah, to the small details around the venue for cocktail hour, the place cards table, the candle votives, and the fabulous and elegant centerpieces, it couldn’t have been more perfect!!! We are elated with how the wedding went off without a hitch and it is because of the organization, care and detail that Flowers By Brian takes in everything they do!!! The delivery personnel were so helpful and kind in bringing our bouquets and boutonnières to the hotel prior to the wedding. And the caliber of staff that were at our wedding to set up the event and disassemble at the end were high quality, professional, and gracious. We could not be more thankful to Andrew and his team for making our special day and all of the planning leading up to our wedding just perfect.
Thank you again for everything!!!

We used Flowers by Brian after my groom's brother had a very positive experience with them in 2019. Ours was just as good! We worked with Nicole, who gave great suggestions and was so kind to us. The team was also immediately responsive when I asked to make a last-minute tweak to my bridal bouquet, and the quality of the floral arrangements, bouquets, corsages, etc. on the day was flawless. The team of young men who did flower drop off and moved our outdoor arrangements into our reception ballroom were so kind and professional. Highly recommend!

All I can say - wow! The flowers were amazing and one of the highlights of our wedding aesthetic. We planned our wedding from across the country which definitely made decision making a bit harder. However, Nicole really helped take away any of those concerns/hestiations and helped guide, provided visuals, did skype meetings and answered all of our questions. She was also really amazing about helping stay to the budget we had in mind. The flowers turned out amazing. Our centerpieces were truly the most beautiful flower arrangements I have ever seen.

It’s been one week since our daughter’s wedding and our feet still haven’t touched the ground. I am not one to want to “waste money on flowers” but I must confess that I was stunned when I walked into the reception room! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but what Virgil and the entire Flowers by Brian team did was worth every penny! They couldn’t have been more professional to deal with, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone throwing a wedding or other affair. Thank you!

Virgil & the team at Flowers By Brian did all of my florals for my September 2023 wedding and it was the absolute best experience! Virgil was so amazing to work with, he understood my vision and he was also so incredibly honest - something I was finding to be very rare in the flower industry from other vendors I met with. The FBB team absolutely killed my arrangements and decor and went above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommend working with them for your wedding!

Long review ahead. I really wanted to give 5 stars because I had such a positive experience with Flowers by Brian leading up to my wedding day. They respond in a timely manner and are very helpful.
Unfortunately, the people setting up on our wedding day were not very careful with following directions. I know that they had the correct directions written down because they were sent to me to review a few days prior.
First, they started setting up a runner even though I specified that I don’t want one because it’s a safety hazard for my mother who doesn’t walk very well. Luckily we were around when they started and stopped them. Next, we noticed that they put the wrong color petals in my flower girls basket. I know this isn’t a huge deal but I really liked the idea of her having a different color so in pictures we’ll know which ones she threw. Luckily, we found the correct petals elsewhere and were able to switch them ourselves.
The biggest error was putting the wrong centerpiece in the entranceway. We paid extra to have a grander centerpiece in that space since it’s kind of a first impression for guests but unfortunately they put this elsewhere and set up the wrong centerpiece by the entrance. I was so flustered day of that I didn’t notice but every time I back at pictures from that room I can’t help but think about how much better it would look with the correct centerpiece. The table just looks so empty to me with what they put there and I feel like we wasted money paying for something we didn’t get to have. I didn’t tell them about this error because I don’t want anyone on their end blamed for it, but it definitely frustrated me a bit upon noticing.
Overall, the flowers looked beautiful and clearly no major errors were made! I just couldn’t justify giving 5 stars because I did not think they were perfect.

While I ultimately ended up with beautiful flowers, there were a lot of things that did not at all follow the discussions we had during our planning meetings. The vases that were discussed for the centerpieces during our preview were not what ended up being there on the wedding day, the ceremony decor showed up full of colors that had never been previously discussed and my bridal bouquet looked nothing like any of the references I sent. I have gotten a lot of compliments on my centerpieces and they were beautiful but it was disappointing to spend so much money on the flowers to then see these careless mistakes made

Flowers by Brian were fantastic to work with! They made the planning and payments before the wedding incredibly easy. Our main florist, Annette, was such a great and collaborative partner in helping us design the flowers for the day. The flowers were classy, elegant, and had a definite wow factor. To say our guests were impressed by the flowers would be a monumental understatement. And Annette had such amazing suggestions for how to get the most out of our flowers that also enhanced each part of our wedding. Based on her recommendations, we used some of our tall centerpieces to line the aisle for our ceremony, and were able to use the front arch of our chuppah to frame our sweetheart table during the reception. Would highly recommend Flowers by Brian!

My Husband and I got married 2 weeks ago at the Heritage Club at Bethpage. Flowers by Brian was a preferred vendor. I met with a ton of different florists and ultimately decided to go forward with them because Virgil was wonderful and I could trust his opinion. I really tried to be cost conscious with flowers and he gave me great options that helped me stay within my budget. Meanwhile, the flowers were absolutely stunning. 10/10 recommend!!

We met with 6 different floral vendors as we prepared for our wedding, and the moment we met with the Flowers by Brian team, we knew they were IT.
We worked with Virgil, who from day 1 was spectacular. He took our bare-bones vision and brainstormed with us, never being too pushy, but always throwing out ideas in-line with what we had told him (and almost every single one of his ideas, we took!) and ways to optimize and give our day the special 'pop' it needed. We're a bit at a loss for words on how to express our gratitude to him and the whole team on their contributions to our special day. The arrangements turned about incredibly, all of our guests were Wow'ed and continue to give us compliments about them.
Virgil just made the entire process easy, seamless, and fun. We are forever appreciative!

My husband and I got married at Bourne Mansion last Saturday and used Flowers By Brian (one of the recommended vendors) for our wedding. As an event planner myself, I had a very specific vision for the florals and overall design, so it was important I decided on the right vendor for this. I met with a few other vendors, but Flowers By Brian was the only one that I felt confident could bring my vision to life, particularly the custom lucite columns I requested for my ceremony. I'm glad I put my trust in them because everything was perfect, including the centerpieces in the ballroom. They followed my photo / design inspo perfectly. My guests were even blown away by the design. Would highly recommend Flowers By Brian.

Flowers by Brian designed the most STUNNING florals for our wedding - I was completely blown away! Virgil had a great vision from the first time we met, having done many weddings at my venue (Garden City Hotel) but nothing could have prepared me for how it looked and felt when everything came together. Gorgeous, lush and super elegant arrangements, with candles and crystals - just breathtaking. And my bouquet was just perfect. Virgil was a dream to work with, the Flowers by Brian wedding day crew was incredibly professional and skilled, and the administrative staff was always so helpful and friendly. THANK YOU FBB!!!!!

Virgil, thank you for making my garden fairy princess wedding dreams come true. You captured the essence of what I wanted in florals impeccably. From the flower wall, to the vine for our sweetheart table, to my bridesmaids’ bouquet and my own bouquet, the attention to detail and color coordination was unmatched. Thank you for being such a pleasure to work with, open to new ideas and ELEVATING our wedding to the next level.

Virgil and his team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. He had to please a bride who wanted mostly greenery and a mother of the bride who wanted all the florals, and he ended up impressing us both beyond measure. Turns out, my vision wasn't nearly as beautiful and tasteful as the final product! SO well done.

I worked with Annette who was great. I didn't know anything about flowers and she understood what I was looking for. The centerpieces came out beautifully and we got so many compliments on them. When I went in for my bouquet viewing the day before my wedding, there were some issues. I had specifically requested that my bouquet have greenery to give it dimension & shape and it was perfectly round with little greenery. My bridesmaids bouquets were also 100% pink roses when I was contracted for white with blush/nude accent roses. I referenced my contract to the consultant I worked with during the viewing and the bouquets were correct when delivered, but was definitely nerve wracking the day before.

We used Flowers by Brian as our wedding florist. The delivery of the flowers was excellent. They arrived earlier than anticipated and everything was accounted for. The worker was professional and friendly. The centerpieces were lovely and fresh all evening.
However, the corsage wrist straps were huge and had to be tied so they could be worn, and the flowers started to brown early on in the day before we arrived at the church. They could not be worn, which was very disappointing. The bridal bouquet showed premature browning as well. It was not a particularly hot day, and we followed the instructions provided to us to care for the flowers, so this should not have happened.

Virgil was incredible. He was fun to work with, had great taste, and created beautiful flower arrangements.

I don't think many vendors would do that and I truly appreciated it!

I got married this past weekend on 6/11/22, the day was everything I could have ever wanted and more! It was so perfect! All my vendors with the exception of my florist were great. I am so appreciative of all of them and really value how they handle business after the horror I dealt with for my flowers.
So now for the ugly. The company I used was Flowers by Brian. Without being too wordy, I had to have 3 centerpiece viewings because they failed to get it right. Between showing me a completely wrong sample initially, to failing to order a flower for a sample due to it being only sold in bulk (what is the point of a sample if your not going to get it exact, no bride wants surprises the day of the wedding), to finally getting it right on showing #3 which could have been avoided if they ordered all the flowers on the 2nd showing.
Next my bouquet sample, the day before my wedding. They bring it out, it looks off. I wanted anemone's and for some reason the flower just looked off to my eye, like it was squished in the bouquet. They have me hold the bouquet for me to then realize the anemone was FAKE! They then go to tell me they were unable to get the flower in so used the silk flowers. I am paying for real flowers, don't try to pawn off silk flowers for real flowers. They then go in the back to try and fix the bouquet and come back out to tell me they had the flower all along. With a few tweaks, we are good and I am as happy as I can be for the situation.
Now the day of my wedding, flowers arrive. All looks good, no hiccups. The next day I go to preserve my flowers and the worker points out that my anemones are FAKE. The florist took a real flower and put an artificial flower for the center to make a mock anemone. The lying and deceiving is disgusting. How can a company scam a customer, it is fraud.
After speaking with the owner, not professional at all trying to justify why they lied, that they didn't want to upset a bride they day before her wedding and after my meltdown (exact words, I had ever right to be upset after finding fake flowers in my bouquet) and now to learn they continued the lie further with the make shift flower. Nothing they could have done could have made it right, they are con-artists and horrible business people. The money back they gave me is a fraction of what I paid for my flowers and also the hell they put me through on top of it.
So in the end, word of mouth is the best I can do and hope I can save other brides from this horrible experience. Stay clear of flowers by Brian.

Hi Gabrielle,
Your wedding came out stunning. Many of the flowers chosen for your wedding...
were out of season, as mentioned to you, however, we went over and beyond to get you all the flowers that you requested. We try to accommodate all customer requests, therefore, when the anenome came in, a couple days before the event and fell apart, we did our best to keep you happy. Trying to accommodate you further, we gave you a full refund for your bridal bouquet, despite the unprofessionalism on your part.
Despite this occurrence of one type of flower in your bouquet, everything else came out beautiful. Thank you again for choosing Flowers by Brian! We take client feedback very seriously to ensure all of our customers are happy.
Best Wishes,
Team FBB

Working with Virgil of the Flowers by Brian team was truly a dream. I had a specific vision and budget for our chuppah. Virgil surpassed my expectations with one of the most beautiful designs I have ever seen. The team that built and tore down our chuppah on the day of our wedding was professional and efficient. We appreciated the repurpose of the chuppah floral arrangement for our sweetheart table. Our guests complimented the opulence and brilliant color of the bridal party bouquets, our table arrangements, and the chuppah. I still dream of my gorgeous bridal bouquet and plan to recreate it for our anniversary. Choosing Flowers by Brian was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding day!

Flowers by Brian delivered my wife’s dream wedding! The flowers and decoration was absolutely gorgeous. Not only did they meet our expectations but they thoroughly exceeded our goals! We worked with Virgil as our main POC. I loved the fact that he was so easy to work with. Matter of fact, no BS conversations to plan the event—made our business/cost discussions so simple. Virgil also has so many photos of bouquets, decorations, wedding arches, etc that he can pull up in real-time to help us turn our attempt at verbal descriptions into visuals for us to agree on.
Virgil offered us several preview showings to ensure everything was exactly as we had discussed—if not more perfect! He also threw in a bunch of freebies to spruce things up. He definitely did not nickel and dime us like some of his competitors did when we were shopping around.
Despite our schedule meeting to review all the deliverables the day before the wedding, we were still surprised on the day of—we got way more than we had expected. Lots of little extra flowers and décor to really bring our wedding to life.
I cannot emphasize enough the positive experience we had with this florist. I would recommend him to all of friends—two thumbs up!

Flowers By Brian was an INCREDIBLE vendor to work with. When we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid they did so seamlessly. They quickly sent us over an updated contract with our new date and there was nothing else to worry about. I originally wanted all ivory florals and then after postponing the wedding a year I decided to completely change my vision. I sent them pictures of what I wanted and we had a mockup done. When I arrived I we made a few changes and I left saying I was happy! A few weeks later I realized that while the arrangement was beautiful it wasn't exactly like the picture I had sent them. I emailed them and they immediately set up an appointment for me to come back in so we could all get on the same page. The flowers at my wedding were literally identical to the pictures I sent them. It was BEYOND my wildest dreams!! So so so so beautiful!! I wouldn't change a thing. Overall an amazing experience!!!

I was adamant that I didn't want pink flowers (or that shade of off-white that looks light pink) and oh my goodness did they deliver. Just gorgeous, I couldn't be happier. Definitely be as clear as possible about what you want, and they will make it happen. 10/10 Highly Recommend.

I just got married 2 weeks ago and still dreaming of my flowers from Flowers by Brian. I got married at the Carltun and Flowers by Brian is a preferred vendor there. During the initial process, I had a zoom call with Virgil and then he came up with a proposal for me. My husband and I ordered bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, 11 centerpieces, flowers for cake, and flowers for the church aisles. The day before my wedding I went to see my bouquet and I was completely blown away. I wasn’t expecting to love it so much. Just so beautiful. The day of the wedding, the flowers were delivered earlier than expected which is fine and everything was there.
My only regret is not thinking of flower preservation eArlier because it breaks my heart to throw out my bouquet! Future brides- preserve your bouquet from flowers by Brian!
There are certainly less expensive options out there for flowers but I was very pleased with everything for our very special day. Thank you!

I wanted to share this review with potential couples or parents of the bride who are looking for vendors for their wedding flowers. My daughter recently got married in October. On her wedding day she received gorgeous appearing flower bouquets and centerpieces from flowers by Brian. The biggest problem we had was that my daughters wedding bouquet roses were dropping out onto the floor As she posed for photos and walked on the ground in her wedding dress. The photographer had to keep putting the roses back in place. He even made a comment as to being very surprise that these flowers came from flowers by Brian. It also happened to several of the bridesmaid’s bouquets roses as well. The flower girls flower basket was so saturated with water that when she took it it fell apart. She did not have a flower basket but instead had to walk down the aisle carrying a plastic bag with petals in it that appear to look like a head of cabbage. It was pretty embarrassing. We have it on film as well. Of course after the wedding was over we contacted flowers by Brian immediately several times to discuss what happened. Their response was that they needed to call the photographer to verify out complaints even though we provided them with the cellphone number of the photographer and sent them our own photos verifying what happened. In any event this was all very disappointing , poor quality of service on their part. And did not meet the standard of care from a flower venue. We are still waiting to get a phone call back from management , Virgil and or Brain who still have not gotten back to us. Be aware !! I wanted to give you a heads up on what happened. It was not a good thing.

We absolutely LOVED our flowers for our wedding, they came out amazing!!! Working with flowers by Brian leading up to the day was also great. They were so professional, caring & made me and my mom feel very stress free about how everything would turn out. So happy our venue had them as the preferred vendor; because they did not disappoint!!!!

Virgil and the entire team at Flowers by Brian did an incredible job for our wedding! Everything was beyond expectation. Virgil is extremely dedicated to his craft and is such a pleasure to work with. I had complete confidence in him after our initial meeting and he did not disappoint. We received so many compliments on our floral arrangements and were in awe of them ourselves. The entire process from the very beginning could not have been any smoother. Virgil really listened to what we wanted and brought our vision to life better than we expected. It was so easy to communicate with anyone from the team and have changes made or last minute add-ons included in the final product. The day of we had no problems whatsoever, the flowers were all fresh and beautiful, the staff arrived early for set up, and all the rooms were decorated well in advance. I cannot recommend them enough!

Virgil helped my wife and I have the most beautiful flowers for our recent wedding. From the bouquets , table arrangements, and ceremony decorations; the entire wedding looked incredible. They were easy to work with, and reasonably prices for what we were ordering. Would absolutely recommend!
