Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange

Elyse from Metropolitan Plant & Flower Exchange went above and beyond as our wedding florist. She created the most beautiful chuppah and personal bouquets for our big day. She was always responsive and extremely professional - she guided us every step of the way to ensure our vision came to life. Highly recommend working with her - you will not regret it!

All my flower decorations at my wedding were beautiful!! Thanks to Elyse, my florist. She was really exceptional in doing her job; I practically just let her work her magic and it all came out beautifully!!

Great service!

I was a very happy bride! I highly recommend working with Elyse. She was so easy to work with and truly made planning enjoyable. When I first walked into the church and venue and saw the floral arrangements, it took my breath away. My bridesmaids along with my wedding guests all complimented the bouquets and floral arrangements! And future events I plan on working with her again!

Elyse was amazing and executed our floral vision exactly as we dreamed! Her and her team are so talented and we were so thrilled with their final product. She was so flexible with our several COVID related changes, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process

We booked Metropolitan as our florist on our wedding day in December - and we were absolutely thrilled with our flowers! Elyse worked with me to understand my vision for the day, and then took my vision and created the most beautiful pieces for the day. Elyse is so incredibly talented and truly listens to all of your ideas. She was able to incorporate different winter and Christmas elements into our flowers - sprigs of holly in the bouquets, a wreath headpiece for our flower girl, berries in the boutonnières, white birch branches for half of our centerpieces. The beauty of the flowers just added to the magic of the day and night. Every piece that Elyse created for us was a dream come true. She was an absolute professional, and the most kind and friendly person! Book her today - you won’t regret it!

We absolutely loved our flower arrangements from Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange. We worked with Elyse who was so helpful in the planning process and ensured that everything was setup beautifully on our wedding day. Flowers are a big ticket item and Elyse really worked with our budget to make sure we got what we wanted. Thank you Elyse for your hard work!

I can’t say enough good things about metropolitan. Elyse was my flower designer for my wedding and she blew me away with how incredible everything looked. She was such a pleasure to work with. The whole experience was stress free because I was able to really trust her to execute my ideas! It came out better than I could have ever imagined. And the prices were great too! I will never use another florist again!

Chrissy at Metropolitan West Orange is great! Very responsive and understanding of your needs. The flowers and floral decor for my wedding last weekend were absolutely beautiful. It was a pleasure working with Chrissy.

I highly recommend Metro for all your floral needs. Elyse and her team were super easy to work with, and did an outstanding job bringing our wedding vision to life. We had to make many changes along the way to make our covid wedding dreams come true, and they were more than accommodating at every step.

I highly recommend Metro Flowers for your wedding! Elyse is absolutely the best. At the beginning of the planning process, we worked with a different consultant who we weren’t sure really understood our style. With Elyse, it was an instant connection. My mom and I had a very particular vision, and Elyse immediately understood. During the trial, it was like she was reading my mind as she edited the bouquets to be exactly as I dreamed. On the day of, we received the most beautiful, fresh, vibrant flowers for bouquets, and the centerpieces for the venue were just as stunning. Metro is truly an incredible value for the quality that they deliver. I highly recommend Metro, and I would definitely request Elyse!

I worked with Elyse and she was wonderful! She was very helpful throughout the planning process and was patient with my ever changing ideas for flowers. She responded quickly to emails and even made me a second sample bridal bouquet and centerpiece when I didn’t love the original. She worked within our budget and still gave us a beautiful assortment of flowers for our wedding day!

We used Metropolitan Plant & Flower Exchange for our wedding and couldn’t be happier with our choice! I met with a few florists, but Metropolitan offered so much more for the price. We worked with Elyse and she was amazing! She took the time to understand my vision and make sure that everything was how I imagined. One thing that Metropolitan offers that most other florists didn’t seem to offer was a sample before committing. After providing some details, we met with Elyse and she had put together a sample bouquet and centerpiece. They weren’t exactly what I was looking for, but Elyse noticed I wasn’t happy right away and worked with me to rebuild it exactly how I imaged right in front of me. In the end, the flowers were a perfect match and we had so many compliments on them! I highly recommend using Metropolitan as your florist!

WOW!!!! Just WOW!!!!! My flowers came out absolutely STUNNING! From the bouquets to the centerpieces, everything was perfect. After my first meeting with Vanessa, I knew she understood my vision and it was a pleasure working with her in making that vision a reality! Whenever we met to discuss the flowers, I felt like I was talking with a long-time friend that just “gets you.” I had to change the flower color of the bridesmaid bouquet because their dress turned out to be a slightly different color, but Vanessa not only happily changed it, she helped recommend a beautiful arrangement. Another amazing part of dealing with MP&FE was that they were able to make a sample of my bouquet, a bridesmaid bouquet, and a centerpiece. This was invaluable in making a decision because I got a sneak preview of my floral arrangements and it confirmed that my florist and I were on the same page. The entire process was a pleasure. MP&FE was affordable, helpful, and does beautiful work. I will recommend them over and over again!

I worked with Elyse on the flowers for my wedding and I cannot say enough good things about her. She was patient, knowledgeable, and flexible. I walked in not really knowing what I wanted, only that I wanted white flowers and candles. She offered me several options all within my budget and was flexible when I needed to add things on at the last minute. Would definitely recommend her for wedding flowers. I received so many compliments on everything!!!

Vanessa was such a blessing! She understood my vision from a couple Email and pictures and blew me away! Everything was perfect, better than I could have imagined!

Our flowers couldn't have been more beautiful for our 9/15/18 wedding! From the bouquets to the centerpieces to the ceremony space, they all looked so wonderful and we got so many compliments. Elyse was a pleasure to work with and we would definitely recommend this place!

Our flowers were amazing! We had met with a smaller, local florist in town and the meeting was not at all what I was expecting. After receiving a recommendation from a friend, we went to MP&FE and met with Elyse – and it was perfect. Elyse is so knowledgeable and can make your Pinterest dreams a reality. She made the process so seamless and all of our flowers were exactly what we were looking for. The deliveries were right on time the morning of our wedding and their prices are unbeatable! Couldn’t recommend them more!

It was a great experience! The flowers were beautiful and beyond our expectations! It was a pleasure dealing with Elyse! Would recommend to anyone looking for a florist for their wedding.

I cannot thank Elyse from MPFE enough! She took my very confusing vision (organized chaos, simple yet elegant) and turned it not only into a reality, but EXCEEDED my EXPECTATIONS!! I absolutely loved working with her and her team executed brilliantly. Their prices were just right and the outcome was absolutely priceless. Thank you MPFE for truly making my special day PERFECT. I will buy flowers for any special occasion I host/plan going forward.

We whole heartedly agree with all the rave reviews! Elyse did a phenomenal job...first at understanding our style and then executing the most beautiful bridal bouquets, centerpieces, ceremony arrangements! I must admit at first I was hesitant, thinking that Metro Plant would offer more "cookie cutter" styles than a boutique florist might. Was I ever wrong! And the prices are reasonable. Thanks, Elyse...we are happy to sing your praises!

The flowers were absolutely beautiful and the planning process went smooth! Vanessa was wonderful, she listened to what we liked and put together some beautiful options. From the bouquets, to the church arrangements to the centerpieces...there isn't one thing that wasn't perfect. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone else!

We planned our wedding in about 5 months and worked with Elyse from start to finish. She made everything super simple for us and completely understood my vision. Her communication was consistent and the set up on the day of happened so seamlessly. Our flowers were absolutely everything I wanted and more. I feel like the price was reasonable considering how many flowers we had (a huge space to fill) and compared to other florists I'd researched.

Working with Elyse at Metropolitan was such a breeze. She was able to perfectly create exactly what I was thinking into the most beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres I've ever seen. Delivery and packaging was flawless, I couldn't have asked for anything better!

I used Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange for my wedding on October 22, 2017. I worked with Vanessa in the Fort Lee location. Let me just say, you can not go wrong with choosing them as your florist! The team did an outstanding job with the bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and decoration. The flowers are fresh, vibrant, and they didn't wilt at all the entire night! Great prices to boot too! (and they were further away from my venue!) Vanessa is very easy to work with and is easily accessible via phone or email. In fact, towards the end, we communicated via email to finalize the ceremony decorations. Vanessa understood my vision and style. She didn't push for more decoration as others I have spoken to. She is very honest with her opinions and suggestions. She asked for my pinterest board and inspirations to create my bouquet. She even did a trial to show me what the bouquets and centerpieces would look and readjusted the style and flowers when needed before we placed a deposit. Seeing the bouquet come to life from one picture sold me! Would absolutely recommend Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange in a heartbeat. Thank you, Vanessa and the entire Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange Team!

I cannot give this place enough praise. I did not even have to speak with them in person. I live in DC and was getting married in NY so I needed some extra accommodations. When I initially contacted them for a quote through the knot, Vanessa contacted me asking for some pictures of what I was looking for and even the link to my Pinterest account. Not only were the flowers amazingly gorgeous, but the prices were great too. I wish I could attach some pictures! You definitely cannot go wrong with this place!!!

We worked with Vanessa from Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange for our wedding. She was great to work with and we loved how our flowers came out. I posted photos on the google review.

Thank you for a gorgeous wedding! Elyse did an absolutely stunning job with the floral arrangements at our wedding. Everything from the pew decor at the church, to my centerpieces & flawless bridal bouquets. Thank you Metropolitan team!

Elyse was great to work with! She made our vision of the flowers for the day reality! everything was beautiful. the only things was the flowers for the ceremony were set up 20 minutes prior to it starting and our guests were starting to show up while they set up. Other than that, they were great!

After coming across Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange on the knot and reading the reviews, I decided to check them out for myself. They were the first florist I met with and after meeting with Vanessa, I didn't look any further. I was rather vague in my description of my "vision," but she nailed it anyway. Everything was perfect, and absolutely gorgeous. She also couldn't have been easier to work with - super sweet, knowledgable and AMAZINGLY quick with communication. I really can't say enough good things about Vanessa or her work- call her!!

We enjoyed working with Metropolitan. They created a wonderful birch tree arch with pink hydrangeas and ivy that looked amazing. I can many complements on our centerpieces which were purple calla lilies in a modern horizontal glass vase. The only thing is they forgot to leave flowers for the aisle.

Both Vanessa and Elyse were wonderful! They were attentive to our needs before our day. Vanessa was pleasant and thorough in providing my husband and I will affordable options that fit into our budget and idea for our wedding. There was a very smooth transition from Vanessa to Elyse working with my husband and I. My husband and I highly recommend the Metropolitan Plant and Flower exchange! Thank you all for providing us with accents for our beautiful event! (Danielle and Andrew 082816)

Metropolitan Plant Exchange did an absolutely incredible job with the floral arrangements for my wedding. From the small church pew arrangements to the high and low centerpieces at the table to the bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, they did everything PERFECTLY. During our first appointment with Elyse, she gave suggestions and looked at photos of what we had in mind. She thought about what would be in season and how to make the colors that we wanted work in the arrangements. During our next meeting, Elyse had sample bouquets and centerpieces for us to look at. We asked for some changes, and Elyse was able to pull other flowers to make our ideal look right in front of us. This eased our minds, as we knew we were going to get something that we knew and loved. Everything was delivered promptly on the day of the wedding. It was such an easy and stress free experience!

Vanessa knows her stuff! My bouquet was everything I could have ever wanted and more - I walked in with two photos, went back a few weeks later to take a look with what she came up with, and I think for a while I was the most excited about my bouquet because it was exactly what I wanted! MP&FE also took care of our centerpieces, bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres, and other arrangements. Working with Vanessa was SO easy. They delivered the flowers to my hotel in New York State, the chapel where the ceremony took place, and then the centerpieces were all delivered to the reception hall in New Jersey. I didn't have to worry about a thing! Just beautiful!

After meeting with Vanessa at Metropolitan my mom and I knew immediately that we wanted to hire them, but we decided to look at two more florists anyway. What a waste of time that was...the other two didn't come close in comparison! Vanessa knew exactly what I was looking for, before I was even sure myself! The best part about Metropolitan is they will create samples of your bouquets/ arrangement for no obligation, so you know what your getting before you put a deposit down! I never felt any pressure and I was able to change the colors and types of flowers I wanted even a couple months before the wedding with no problem. I was totally blown away when I got to see the bouquets and centerpieces on my wedding day! They were absolutely beautiful and looked fresh until the next morning!

Vanessa is the type of person you want to have during the process of planning your wedding. Not only is she extremely personable, down to earth, fun and friendly- but she is effortlessly amazing at what she does. From start to finish she makes the flower process incredibly easy and enjoyable. My-now-husband grew up with Vanessa since they were in kindergarten, and through working with her not only did I get beautiful flowers for my wedding- but I gained a genuine friend. She executed exactly what I was dreaming of for our special day. The flowers the day of were breathtaking and fit perfectly around my venue. Guests are still talking about how beautiful they were! I recommend Metro for any event, especially a wedding!

Working with Vanessa at Metropolitan was great from start to finish. She really understood the look I was going for, and the flowers on the day of looked fresh and beautiful, and were delivered perfectly on time.

We used Metropolitan Plant & Flower Exchange for our bouquets and boutonnieres. The consultation was great, they took the time to sit down with me and go through the pictures that I had brought. The samples were very close to what I had initially requested and they made all the changes to the flowers for the wedding. The bouquets and boutonnieres were beautiful, exactly what we were looking for. The flowers were gorgeous and held up for days after the wedding! Would definitely use them again!

Wow!! I had gone through many florists before booking Metropolitan and I just knew they would be amazing! We dealt with Elyse who knew exactly what I was looking for! I had sent pictures to other florists and they would send me something that looked completely different - when I showed Elyse what we wanted for our centerpieces she hit it right on point and made them so beautiful! Everyone did not stop raving about them - the flowers were blooming and just made our reception look beautiful! My bouquet was a cascade and it was absolutely breathtaking and the my bridesmaids' bouquets were gorgeous too! The delivery on that day was earlier and everything was on time! I would definitely be using Metro again in the future!

I worked with Vanessa on the flowers for my wedding at the Palace in Somerset on May 23rd and she knocked it out of the park. She is super nice and friendly and even better she knows her stuff. She gave me so many creative ideas and ways to keep costs in my budget. We did three different center pieces, high, low and a floating flowers and candles and they all looked amazing. The flowers were gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. The bridesmaid has red rose boutquets and the color was so vibrant it just pops in every picture. I was nudging my husband during the ceremony to point out how pretty the flowers were on the altar lol. I just loved everything. I couldn't have asked for a better florist and she made it so easy for me. Great job Vanessa- and thank you!!

We went to Metropolitan for our Wedding flowers, and could not have been happier. Vanessa worked with us from start to finish and she was wonderful with capturing the vision we had in mind for the big day. From my bouquet, floor baskets, centerpieces, candles and rentals, everything was stunning! The quality and professionalism displayed by Vanessa in my eyes can't be beat. We would absolutely recommend Metropolitan, and use them again for future events. Thank you Vanessa!

We used Metropolitan Plant & Flower Exchange for the flowers for our wedding. What a good choice! Everything went so smoothly! Vanessa V. was knowledgeable and fantastic to work with. Easy-going and attentive, she was always patient with me as we worked through the most beautiful choices within my budget for flowers. She also picked out such elegant arrangements for our big day and anticipated my every need.

Elyse Kotch and her team at Metropolitan Plant & Flower Exchange (Fort Lee) did an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL job for our wedding day. We had a small wedding, but still wanted a good amount of flowers. We needed something elegant but not overboard given the intimate setting, and Elyse did a perfect job. Elyse never made us feel like we weren't worth it or important just because we were having a small wedding. Furthermore, what I really appreciated was that Elyse arranged for us to see sample table settings and bouquets months before our wedding, which really gave us a better idea of how everything would look. It was funny because Elyse put together exactly what I asked, and I realized at that time that the arrangements weren't exactly right -- which was no fault of Elyse, but mine. I was so happy that I got to figure this out during the sample day and not on the wedding day! I will tell you that most florists do not do samples, from what I found, so I really appreciated that Elyse did this for us. We reworked what we had in mind for the wedding, and it all came together flawlessly. Plus, Elyse gave her expert advice every step of the way, which made me feel like we were in good hands. On the wedding day, all of the flower arrangements arrived early, and everything looked just perfect. Thank you so much Elyse and to everyone at Metropolitan! I'll be wishing you the best!!

I was 110% satisfied with Metropolitan's service and would order from them again in a heartbeat. When reviewing florists for the wedding, I thought it would be challenging because I knew how pricy real flowers can be... and well, I didn't care TOO much about flowers that would die in a couple of days. Nonetheless, my husband and I wanted flowers that would compliment our venue and look sophisticated. We scheduled an appointment with Metropolitan and met with Elyse. (Fort Lee is the only location that does events like weddings!) Elyse was very professional and a delight to work with! With a little direction, she was able to pin down the exact look we were going for. She also gave us candid feedback and was very accommodating with our budget. After our first meeting, we scheduled another appointment to see some samples (for FREE!). The samples were amazing and we fine-tuned our arrangements. Elyse was very patient with us and seeing the samples in person confirmed our decision to move forward with Metropolitan. On the day of the wedding, the flowers arrived on time and they came exactly as planned. Beautiful work Metropolitan! You helped contribute to our wonderful day and we THANK YOU! Can't wait to use you again in the future!

My flowers were absolutely gorgeous! Exactly how I envisioned them! My husband and I were married November 28, 2014. I worked with Vanessa and she was terrific! She went above and beyond making samples twice until they were close to what I wanted but I have to say she got them 100% correct the day of my wedding. Exactly what I wanted! During the planning process my husband said he didn't want to spend a lot of money on flowers because he & I could not remember what the flowers looked like at any of our friend's weddings! However, I can assure you everyone remembered my flowers and are still talking about them. In fact all the table arrangements were taken home by guests because they were so gorgeous no one wanted them to go to waste! The nice part was that my flowers were reasonably priced. We didn't get the run around! If anything they gave us more for our money then what I had originally expected! Vanessa was so amazing & sweet to work with she made signing the contract easy. (Also, they don't require a huge deposit) I have been told by many of my guests the flowers were the nicest they have ever seen before! I truly believe they were the most stunning flowers I have ever seen! They showed up on time to 3 locations & the order was perfect! A+ Vanessa is awesome! Do not look elsewhere! You won't be disappointed!

MP&FE provided reasonable pricing for top quality service. Elyse and her staff created a large array of exquisite floral arrangements that gave the perfect touch to our wedding day. Each piece from the corsages to the center pieces were elegant yet artistically unique. If there is one part of our wedding day that our guests will always remember it is the ambiance provided by these amazing pieces. We were also fortunate to see Elyse on the day of our wedding as she was delicately placing flower arrangements on our cake. We could not be thankful enough that we chose Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange.

I worked with Vanessa at Metro for my wedding flowers (wedding date 10/24/14). We discussed my ideas and she helped with ideas of her own both in person and via email (when I would come up with something to add or change). I loved my trail flowers and seeing them come to life in full form at the wedding was truly more than I had ever expected. My flowers were just as I had hoped, even better in fact, and they were different than your typical wedding flowers. I got so many compliments and people couldn't wait to take my centerpieces home. Vanessa took my vision and made it a reality. THANKS!

Vanessa at Metropolitan Flower Exchange did an amazing job with the flowers for my wedding. I loved the bouquets and arrangements when we went in to see the samples, but they were even more beautiful on the day of. I couldn't have asked for anything better! Vanessa was very easy to work with and very flexible with any changes I had throughout the process. The flowers not only were beautiful, but were so fresh that everyone who took a centerpiece home was able to enjoy them for a long time. When working with a florist, I would look at wholesale websites for vases or extras as they can be found much less expensive online, but I can't complain about anything regarding my experience with Metropolitan Flower Exchange. I definitely recommend them!

The second I met Vanessa, I felt like I knew her forever! She was so easy to work with and executed all of my ideas perfectly. She is so creative and is very good at her job. The flowers looked absolutely amazing and I am still getting compliments on them today. I was a little worried about going over budget since I had 30 tables so Vanessa came up with such a cute budget friendly idea where we did half of the tables with flower centerpieces and the other half with floating candles. Everything looked gorgeous! I would highly recommend using them for your wedding!

I used Metropolitan House of Flowers for my wedding on October 11, 2014. I worked with Vanessa and all I can say is I am beyond happy with all of my flowers. All of the flowers were exactly what we had chosen and our centerpieces at our reception were just like the sample that Vanessa has put together for us. she was extremely helpful with choosing flowers and making recommendations. I live in Staten Island and my reception wAs in Nj.Delivery to all locations was on time and all of our flowers arrived neat and organized with labels for people. I would definitely use them again for any event.

I had the absolute best experience working with Metro for my wedding in August. This was the one aspect that I was never stressing out about and that is all thanks to Vanessa. She is awesome to work with, friendly, accommodating, and upfront with all costs. I made a few changes along the way with no problems and she always got back to me quickly. I was having my wedding in South Jersey and they had no problem delivering everything down there. The day of my wedding, all of my bouquets and reception arrangements arrived on time and were set up just how I wanted. Everything looked more beautiful than I had envisioned. I highly recommend this vendor for all of your flower needs. I will definitely be using them in the future.

Vanessa was absolutely great to work with! From the beginning, she knew exactly what i was looking for and was able to create it perfectly for the trial. Vanessa was always easy to reach through email and was able to quickly make any changes needed. When I got the flowers on the day of my wedding they were even more incredible. My bouquet was more than i could have ever dreamed of. Everything was perfect! I would recommend them to anyone!

We chose MP&FE for our wedding day floral arrangements/bouquets after searching local florists in the area. We were married on 2/22/14, and Elyse took care of us like NO OTHER. I would wholeheartedly recommend this vendor for wedding needs. During our search for flower vendors, we came across a lot of negative experiences due to the seemingly strange requests we had for bouquets, as well as our budget. We finally went in to meet with Elyse at the Metropolitan Plant & Flower Exchange, and she calmed our nerves and worked amazingly with us to create our vision right away. Elyse was extremely responsive by e-mail or phone when needed, and made sure everything was perfect for the day of. She even reassured us that our vision was far from "strange" and she could do it with no problems. The wedding day came, and the flowers were delivered with no issues. I even got a letter from Elyse congratulating us as well as explaining that she created two bouquets for me due to the lack of a certain flower (due to extended winter). She completely amazed us with her attention to detail, as well as her clear determination to ensure we had am amazing day with no hiccups. I 100% recommend this vendor for wedding flowers, and will be using them for any floral needs in the future. Thank you thank you thank you!

I was absolutely thrilled with our wedding flowers! After meeting with a smaller florist, I am so happy I went with (larger) Metropolitan. I worked with Elyse, who immediately knew what I was looking for in terms of my 'vision' for the look and feel. Initially, we were way outside of our budget but she was able to make adjustments to come within our range and I couldn't have been happier with how everything came out. The centerpieces and bouquets were quite simply, stunning. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and recommend them to anyone.
