Karen Lenahan Designs

We don't have enough words to thank Karen! She made my vision a reality whilst also making the process incredibly stress free. The absolute best!

Everyone keeps commenting on how my bouquet is the most beautiful one they have ever seen. Karen did an amazing job with my bouquets and garlands. I kept adding things last minute, and she was always ready to accommodate. Also, on the morning of the wedding, things weren’t exactly how I wanted them, and after I spoke to her about it, she was quick to fix it. By the time my guests arrived, the venue was transformed to the wedding setting of my dreams. I couldn’t be happier with how beautiful everything turned out. I highly recommend Karen and Dan.

I want to thank Karen for the amazing flowers she provided at our memorial day wedding. They turned out more beautiful than we ever imagined! We received many compliments on how beautiful the table arrangements, bouquets, and arbor arrangements were. The quality and colors of the flowers made our pictures stunning. We will definitely recommend Karen Lenahan Designs to others. We also appreciate how stress free the whole experience was. It was a pleasure working with Karen, we could have not been happier. Thank you again for helping create a beautiful memorable day.

Karen designed flowers for our intimate wedding in Greenport. She was amazing to work with and provided so many great suggestions throughout the process. My bouquet was so beautiful - better than I could have ever imagined! Our table setting floral arrangements were stunning and looked so perfect for spring! We were so impressed with the final product and so happy we made the decision to work with Karen and Dan!

My husband, Brett, and I spent a lot of time looking for a florist for our wedding. Our wedding was at the Hyatt Regency in Jersey City in May 2019. I met with multiple florists in Brooklyn, Jersey City and Manhattan. None compared to the florist my sister-in-law worked with, Karen Lenahan, for her wedding at the Bridgehampton Tennis & Surf Club in September 2018. We reached out to Karen with a list of floral arrangements, along with sample images, we thought we would want for the wedding. She sent us a detailed proposal within a week and we spoke on the phone to make adjustments based on our budget and description of the venue. We met at a flower market in early May and she put together sample arrangements to show us what the bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, low and tall table arrangements, card table arrangements and flowers for the chuppah. We were amazed with this part of the floral planning! It was great to see in person what the flowers would look like! No other florist we've met with would've done this. When she arrived at the venue on the wedding day with the bouquets I was so impressed. I LOVED my wedding bouquet. After the wedding I even pressed the flowers and put together a framed composition to keep forever! I was equally impressed with Karen and her husband, Dan, (who helped put everything together) when I saw the chuppah for the ceremony, the cocktail hour arrangements and the table arrangements for the reception. I felt like I was in a fairytale wedding. Karen even put together the table arrangements in such a way that we were able to use them for our farewell brunch the next morning. We are so glad we decided to work with Karen for our wedding flowers. Everything looked perfect!

All I can say is WOW. Working with Karen was wonderful and she delivered above my expectations. The flowers were gorgeous and made our day even more perfect!

Karen is incredible to work with. The flowers at our wedding were beautiful. She was able to execute my vision while providing her creative touch and expertise. When I saw the venue, I felt like my Pinterest dreams had come to life. My wedding was at the Bridgehampton Tennis & Surf Club 9/8/18. I had a very hard time getting in touch with Hamptons florists. Most wanted me to wait until November/December 2017 to discuss my September 2018 wedding. Karen spoke with me over Labor Day Weekend (!) 2017 for about an hour. We discussed my vision, her execution, and costs. From that moment, I knew I wanted to work with her. Karen continuously exceeded my expectations over the year. She met me and my mom at Party Rental in February 2018 to work on table cloths and chairs and how they would mix with the florals. She even stayed around to help us on our rehearsal dinner aesthetic (we did our own flowers for that), when most vendors would have bolted. We also met at the flower market in August 2018 where Karen picked flowers that would be in season and available for September 2018 and showed me possible bouquets and arrangements. It was so fabulous seeing the flowers in person. Karen is also very honest about what the costs are. She provides a detailed breakdown in her proposal on the Chuppah costs, bouquet, candle rentals, etc. So you know where your money is going. Dan also did our backyard rehearsal dinner lighting, which was incredible. Thank you Karen and Dan—you are a dream!

We loved working with Karen! Karen is so creative & brings a vision to life... AND she's so fun to work with. We outlined an overall vision and let Karen create. Create she did. We were blown away with our wedding flowers & received so many compliments. Best way to describe our flowers: elegant, dramatic, warm. memorable, distinctive. When we entered our ceremony it took our breathe away and our reception had such a memorable look. We would recommend providing Karen creative freedom because she's truly an artist that brings her art to life with flowers

My wife and I are the management team of a wedding venue, and it was a simple decision as to who we would choose for our flowers: Karen Lenahan. We see a lot of florists at our venue, and some are certainly not worth the money people pay. A few florists arrive with dried up selections. I can assure you that Karen Lenahan is supremely talented and a pure delight to work with. We've recommended Karen many times to other couples, and not once has any bride been disappointed with the result. She will even go to NYC with you to the flower market to help you arrive at the perfect selection. I cannot recommend her more highly.

Karen was wonderful to work with and truly delivered on my vision! We used lanterns in my church ceremony (lining the aisle) and it looked beautiful. She also arranged the lanterns, candles and centerpieces at my reception site Bedell Cellars. The colors and execution were exactly as we had imagined with excellent quality. The room looked romantic and soft. We also had our lighting done through Karen which was beautiful(hanging vine globes). Karen was wonderful throughout the entire process, meeting with me at the flower district in NYC where I live to personally select options.

I ordered my bouquets from Karen. I loved my bridesmaids bouquets, but my own bouquet was not as expected. On the day of the wedding it arrived and was made up entirely of white flowers. However, I had specifically requested to have green flowers added and she had responded saying she would add green/white parrot tulips and mini green hydrangeas to my bouquet (both those flowers were part of the bridesmaids bouquets). My bouquet had neither of these flowers. I had emails documenting all of these conversations. I called her immediately after, and she told me did not have this recorded in her own proposal, and that there was nothing she could do since she no extra flowers and had no way to obtain replacements. She was very apologetic, and very nice, and the bouquet was very pretty. But it was not what I wanted and it was not what we had agreed upon. I was disappointed with my own bouquet.

I kept coming across photos of Karen's work when I started looking for a florist in the Hamptons - every picture of flowers I liked were hers! Doing more research I found out she had done a friend's sister's wedding and my friend who has high standards gave her glowing reviews. Going in I thought I'd like her, but when we finally met her in person we instantly clicked - she has a great easy going vibe and is so easy to talk too. She understood my budget and wasn't pushy when I said I needed to cut back on some things. What I really liked about her is that her process is very personalized. She doesn't have a flower shop - events are her full time business and she gives each event her full attention. Early on we talked about my vision and I gave her lots of pictures for inspiration, but it wasn't until a few weeks before the wedding that we met in flower market and finalized all the details. I'm a very visual person so it was helpful for me to see all the flowers and how they worked in person. The end result were the wedding flowers of my dreams. She perfectly executed everything including the flower girls head wreaths, one of which needed to be sized down about an hour before the wedding, but her team got it done without any issue. I can't wait to see the professional photos of the flowers!

I recently used Karen Lenahan Designs for my North Fork vineyard wedding in August and Karen and her team truly did an amazing job. Throughout the entire planning process Karen was very helpful and always went above and beyond. She is such a pleasure to work with and was very professional. The flowers on our wedding day turned out to be exactly what I wanted and I could not have asked for anything better. For anyone planning a North Fork vineyard wedding I would highly recommend Karen!

I planned my wedding from overseas and Karen was extremely easy and great to work with. We spent time e-mailing photos back and forth to ensure I received exactly what I wanted. Her designs are amazing! I was so glad that we chose to work with Karen Lenahan Designs!

My Husband says I am one to say exactly how I feel...and with me owning that I am not the easiest to please I want to say that Karen was above and beyond amazing. Did she come through with exactly what I asked for? YES! And I was the girl who re touched photos to give direction of what I was looking for. She matched it exceptionally. The thing is...when you are planning a wedding, it can be stressful...50,000 things to do and no idea how it comes together. She answered EVERY phone call, got back to us promptly, was overly fair with pricing and mostly, she was sweet, kind, humorous and helpful even before the day. I would recommend her with every category being exceptional. She is a delight and her ability to make your visual dreams come true is astounding. Every cent...WORTH IT

From our very first conversation Karen worked with my ideas and my budget without trying to push anything on me that I was uncomfortable with. She helped me to prioritise where I should spend money on flowers (and where I could get away with cutting back or at least having less). The final displays were so beautiful and really added to the day without being overwhelming or too fancy. When we met to select flowers she really listened to my thoughts and helped me choose flowers that complimented my venue and the other aspects of the day such as dresses. Her team also do lighting.
