Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange

ty to the day. When we first met with Elyse, we showed her inspiration pictures with the general vision of what we were looking for for florals. She listened and gave suggestions of what she thought would work the best for us and our venue. MPS has table decorations for rent too so besides the flowers, they also provided all the hurricane candles for the table centerpieces. Elyse was also able to use a bouquet wrap and pieces of my mom’s veil/headpiece from her wedding in my bouquet in such a beautiful way. The flowers also didn’t die for a while after the wedding was over once they were put back in water. Elyse was so easy to work with, helpful with any questions we had and responded quickly to any emails we sent.

aced her order! Honestly other florists that I met with tried to push their vision onto my wedding but not Elyse! She listened and took extremely detailed notes to make sure she brought my floral vision to life. When I tell you my bridesmaids jaws dropped after seeing their bouquets they really did! Highly recommend Elyse!!!!

interest of faux flower arrangements for my vision board and was told by several florists it was not possible to create the arrangements I wanted, but Elyse did not hesitate and said it was absolutely possible. I really left it to Elyse because I didn't know which flowers would look good together, were in season, or which flowers came in certain colors, etc. Elyse guided me throughout the entire process with patience and a great attitude. Not only that, I had last minute changes to my wedding party just a few weeks before the wedding and she was so flexible and accommodating. My flowers were absolutely incredible; better than I could have imagined (and even more beautiful than the Pinterest photos I had found!) The colors were so rich and the flowers were so fresh. I will absolutely be recommending her to anyone looking for a florist!

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 came out beautifully!!

aw 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!

our several COVID related changes, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process

nd 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!

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!

o 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!

It was a pleasure working with Chrissy.

many changes along the way to make our covid wedding dreams come true, and they were more than accommodating at every step.

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!

ails 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!

e. 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!

tood 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!

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!!!

compliments. Elyse was a pleasure to work with and we would definitely recommend this place!

ent 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!

edding.

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.

es, 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!

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!

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.

. Delivery and packaging was flawless, I couldn't have asked for anything better!

g 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!

nitially 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!!!

e review.

& flawless bridal bouquets. Thank you Metropolitan team!

tes prior to it starting and our guests were starting to show up while they set up. Other than that, they were great!

fter 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!!

at 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)

t 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!

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!

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!

lessly 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!

ere delivered perfectly on time.

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!

ctures 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!

ws 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!!
