My flowers for my wedding 04/26/25 were breathtaking. I asked for spring colors and Robert delivered! Not only were they beautiful and vibrant but coordinated with my venue so well.

My husband and I got married in October 2024, and we had an absolutely amazing experience with Robert Hertzog at Pedestals. Our venue limited our florist to one of four vendors, and Pedestals was the clear winner (from both prior brides and our own vendor shopping experience). Robert was so easy to work with, completely understood my vision, has a creative and unique eye, gave us so much value our money, and provided lots of great advice (i.e. Do we actually need flowers on the staircase banister? No. Should we do a combination of high and low centerpieces? Yes. Can we repurpose my bouquet or the chuppah or a centerpiece to give it dual functionality? Yes, yes, and yes). Our chuppah was even more beautiful than I imagined it would be. I loved our entry table, which was made up of deconstructed components of the centerpieces. I did need to be pretty firm on wanting blue flowers in my bouquet vs. Robert suggested I just have white roses, but Robert ultimately deferred to me. Pedestals was also so great at setting up the event and moving the floral arrangements around the venue, as we had both the ceremony and reception in the main ballroom, and the room needed to be turned over during cocktail hour (we didn’t even see them). We would work with Robert and Pedestals again in a heartbeat—truly wouldn’t even consider another florist! Photography @JeanetteJoyPhoto

Pedestals was a great to work with! They did a wonderful job of bringing our wedding vision to life - I can't recommend them enough!

Words cannot describe how beautiful pedestals was able to make our special day. Robert is a true visionary and his work at our wedding was so beautiful. It came out better than I could’ve ever imagine. He was so accommodating and helpful and consultative. Anyone who would like beautiful and elegant flower should consider pedestals for their special day!

Bob and the entire team at Pedestals were a pleasure to work with for my November wedding. I started the process not knowing exactly what types of flowers, colors, etc I would want, but Bob listened carefully and created my dream chuppah, table arrangements, and more. The room was glowing thanks to their beautiful decorations. The team was professional, timely and kind. Bob himself even came to the venue on my wedding day to make sure everything was perfect! I highly recommend Pedestals and will definitely be using them again for events to come in the future.

Our flowers for our wedding were absolutely breathtaking. We worked with Joseph and he did a wonderful job. He made our vision come to life. He worked with our price range and showed us different samples. I would high recommend them to anyone!!!

10/24/2024 • Jessica M

There aren't enough words to describe how stunning our flowers came out for our wedding day. They came out better than I could have ever imagined! We worked with Joseph and he made everything so seamless and really made our vision come to life. He kept in mind our budget and made adjustments where we needed. It was so nice to work with Joseph he really made our experience so great. He knew exactly what we wanted and made everything look perfect with minimal direction from me. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous our flower arrangements were! We can't thank Joseph and the pedestals team enough for all of their help in making our wedding flowers absolutely gorgeous and creating a seamless process for us!! Absolutely pick them for your wedding day you will be blown away!

I absolutely loved working with Joseph! He made the process so easy and fun and was able to put together the most beautiful arrangements for my wedding. The guests couldn't stop complimenting how beautiful everything was. I highly recommend and would gladly work with Joseph again!

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Joseph and his team at Pedestals for the most incredible flowers and décor at our wedding on August 17, 2024. Despite the unexpected rain and the need to quickly adapt and rearrange everything indoors, they handled the situation with such grace and efficiency. The transformation of the room was nothing short of magical, turning a chaotic environment into an elegant and enchanting space. We are forever grateful for their dedication and talent. Thank you for making our day so beautiful, Joseph and team!

9/01/2024 • Paige E

We are so pleased with how perfect our flowers came out, and we couldn’t be happier! Our vision was different than what Pedestals is known for creating – a more wildflower, organic look. They went out of their comfort zone to ensure our vision came to life, and we are so grateful. Robert went above and beyond, even doing a second sample for us to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. Everything turned out beautiful day of and even better than we could have expected. Thank you Robert and Pedestals!!

Phil and the Pedestals team truly made our wedding dreams come true. I cannot thank them enough for their support, amazing creativity and being a thought partner throughout the process. They do not price gauge like others in the industry - but blow all of your expectations out of the water. They are so kind and fun to work with as well! By far our favorite vendor to work with during the wedding process - we miss our meetings with Phil already!

8/27/2024 • Fallon W

My husband and I had such a wonderful experience working with Robert at Pedestals. He completely understood what we were looking for, made this entire process easy, fun, and was able to accommodate some last minute changes we had. Everything looked absolutely beautiful and we have heard nothing but compliments from our guests. We highly recommend working with them!

8/14/2024 • Colbey S

Pedestals floral were absolutely amazing to work with. The knowledge of Joseph was unbelievable unless you got to see him work in person. They were always professional and made our entire wedding look beautiful from center pieces to chuppah. I cannot thank them enough for their amazing work. 10/10

6/24/2024 • Samantha R

I truly cannot recommend pedestals and Robert more! Robert understood everything I wanted and my exact vision for my wedding from our first meeting and he was an absolute pleasure to work with the entire time. I cannot say enough nice things about him! My chuppah came out beautiful, the room looked amazing and the bouquets were perfect. He went above and beyond for me and I would recommend him and pedestals to anyone for any event! I wish I had another event to plan so I could use him again!

6/23/2024 • David S

Robert at pedestals should be hired for your wedding day! From the first time that we met Robert, he was so kind and understanding. He was pleasant and friendly throughout the entire process and always helped us feel at ease. We had many MANY requests for our wedding day including very specific flower requests, color requests, style requests etc etc etc and the final product BLEW US AWAY! My mouth dropped to the floor when I saw the chuppah and aisle and then again when I saw the ballroom set up. The flowers were absolutely stunning and perfectly captured our vision. I can’t thank Robert enough for creating such a masterpiece. Hire Robert today!

4/28/2024 • Jennifer O

Joseph is an absolute dream to work with from day one. He is honest, talented, creative, attentive and kind. I knew I wanted to work with Joseph just from our first phone call - then we met and I saw his work and knew he would absolutely go above and beyond. Highly recommended!

12/03/2023 • Maya K

Joseph at Pedestals is an absolute magician and a dream to work with. During our first appointment, he listened to us carefully and within minutes pulled up pictures of EXACTLY what I was envisioning. He is a true artist and passionate about what he does. Every single detail of our wedding, from the full floral chuppah to the centerpieces was absolute PERFECTION. He even matched the color of the rose, Amensia, to my bridesmaid dresses. Everything Pedestals does is above and beyond, and they are the best in the business for a reason. I cannot recommend Joseph and his team more highly! Book immediately.

12/03/2023 • Marcy I

We worked with Robert at Pedestals for our October 2023 wedding and we are so thrilled we got to work with him! From the time we first met for our initial appointment, Robert understood my vision for our florals and candles. I was very specific in wanting and not wanting certain design elements. Robert was also extremely helpful in making suggestions and sharing examples of what we would see day-of based on my feedback. Robert was so kind, patient and thorough during our planning. Everything looked so beautiful day-of and was perfectly executed due to Robert's attention to our vision. I really felt like he understood the look and feel of what we envisioned. We received so many compliments about how beautiful our chuppah and florals were. Robert was one of our favorite vendors to work with and we highly recommend Pedestals!

11/27/2023 • Briana L

Phil at Pedestals was a DREAM to work with. I had a very specific vision in mind, and not only did he nail it, but he really helped shape the vision. He was great at listening but also providing suggestions and new ideas. He's an expert at florals, but also lighting, decor, table scapes and more. He really made the entire come to life that night, and I can honestly say that walking into my wedding venue felt like a dream come true. Thank you Phil!! Would recommend 10/10 times.

10/22/2023 • Anonymous U

I worked with Robert for my wedding florals and Robert knew exactly the theme I was going for. He truly has an eye as a floral decorator. He worked so meticulously with us, he really made us feel welcomed! Even the day before my wedding, I dropped off a piece of ribbon for my bouquet, and he sat down with me to review everything one more time. Truly a fantastic experience & would use pedestals over and over again.

10/02/2023 • Marie S

Pedestals florist was the absolute best choice for the florals at my daughter Sara and Nick's wedding at the Bourne Mansion in Oakdale, NY. Our designer, Rob, was extremely thorough and he spent a lot of time capturing our overall concept. The day of the wedding their staff worked for hours and were experienced and friendly. From the moment you stepped into the mansion Pedestal Florist took our guests through a magical fairytale experience like no other. When we had the big reveal of the ball room and saw all the different kinds of gorgeous centerpieces, and layered candles, it simply took our breath away. I'm literally still dreaming about it .Thank you very much and I will highly recommend you to people in the future.

9/27/2023 • Alana h

I worked with Robert for my wedding in September. He executed my vision PERFECTLY and was somehow able to stay in my budget! He worked with me very closely to figure out exactly what I wanted (I had a very specific vision and he made sure he completely understood it). He puts his heart and soul into his work and it shows. I have never seen a more beautiful chuppah or centerpieces. I was blown away. Thank you for everything Robert!!!

9/10/2023 • Sarah D

We worked with Joseph for our May 2023 wedding and he did a phenomenal job! I had a specific vision and flowers were a top priority for me, and the team at Pedestals just executed everything perfectly! Incredibly professional and experts at what they do! I hope I get to work with them again some day!

9/05/2023 • Andie K

We worked with Joseph at Pedestals for our wedding on July 22nd. Him and the Pedestals team did a phenomenal job guiding us to come up with a vision and then bringing that vision to life. We have received endless compliments on our florals (from those at the wedding, and those who have seen pictures). We highly, highly recommend!

7/01/2023 • Lisamarie P

If I could give this florist 10 stars I would!! I had the pleasure of working with Robert at Pedestals. From our first appointment, I knew I was in good hands, we clicked. He collaborated his vision with my ideas, had amazing communication, and paid extra attention to every little detail. Although I was impressed with my sample arrangement, church arrangements, and bouquets the morning of the wedding, when I walked into the reception room I was blown away by how beautiful they looked! My flowers were jaw dropping, all thanks to Robert! I asked him to do a beautiful job, and he certainly delivered! I couldn’t thank him enough. I will recommend him to everyone I know

6/21/2023 • Jenna M

My wedding flowers was STUNNING!!! We loved working with Robert. He truly made me and my family feel like family! I was so happy when I saw the ballroom I cried!!!

6/04/2023 • Christine P

We are once again, a repeat customer, stunned by the beauty of the floral combinations Robert created for our daughters wedding. He has such foresight as to what you want and puts it together like nobody else. My second daughter was a picky one to figure out but Robert nailed it so well she was practically in tears at our reveal meeting. Thank you Robert! Don’t be crazy, go with Pedestal Florists to get the job done not just right but out of this world!

4/25/2023 • Kiesha G

Absolutely Beautiful floral arrangements!! Pedestals went above and beyond to help make my wedding day beautiful. They were booked on my day and time for another wedding engagement, but they found a way to make it happen because the other event was only a block away! Truly an amazing group of people! Thank you!

2/08/2023 • Leslie T

Absolutely wonderful florists. We had talked to several florists, but it was clear that Pedestals would be the best and also the easiest to work with. From just browsing Pedestals' website, we knew that they had the ability to create beautiful designs. But in the course of the planning process, Joe was also very helpful in offering suggestions (based on his prior knowledge of the venue) and coming up with ways to make my Pinterest-board vision a reality. The end result was beautiful and classic, and everyone I worked with was wonderful. It was such a moment to see the venue decorated for the first time and see the floral designs come to life.

1/23/2023 • Kim S

Pedestals was amazing. We used Robert and he totally understood my vision. Our flowers were absolutely stunning, our guests were in awe... As were we. Well worth it.

1/10/2023 • Kate G

Got married on 12/30. We worked with Joseph and he was great! He understood what we wanted right away. Didn’t push us to do unnecessary extra flowers. Everything came out beautiful! The people that dropped off and set up our flowers were great as well.

12/26/2022 • Sarah & Ben B

We used Pedestals for our wedding Sept 10, 2022 and they really delivered! The flowers were stunning, and our guests couldn't stop raving about them. Joseph was great to work with. Would highly recommend!

12/23/2022 • Jamie D

We used Pedestals for our wedding at Waters Edge in December and worked with Joseph. There is nothing to say about them besides they are the best. The centerpieces and bouquets were gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. Joseph is the sweetest and so knowledgeable about what he does, you can tell in the execution. You won’t find a better florist, they are totally worth it.

12/03/2022 • Lindsay H

Pretty disappointed with Pedestals. I went over my original budget to use them because I wanted beautiful flowers, but they were LATE TO MY WEDDING. Giving 3 stars because the flowers were as agreed on and my coordinator was very nice. The setup team arrived 45 minutes AFTER my wedding started. My maitre’d from the venue had called them at 11, an hour before the party started, and it seemed like they totally forgot my wedding. She called them again when they still hadn’t showed up at 12, and they told her they were in traffic. They showed up at 12:45, rushing in, visible to all my guests at cocktail hour. It wouldn’t have been an issue had I not ordered a big piece for my welcome table that was not there to actually welcome my guests. No one apologized to me on the day nor did anyone ever reach out to me. I’m guessing since my wedding wasn’t one of their show-stopper-$20k-weddings like they display on their social media, it wasn’t given the same attention.

12/01/2022 • Lisa D

Wow wow wow!!! Pedestals was AMAZING! We worked with Phil and from the first moment we met with him I knew we were in good hands. All my center pieces were gorgeous and made the room look even more magical. The room smelt so amazing and was simply breath taking. There was an issue with my bouquet when the flowers got delivered and the issue got fixed in less than 30 minutes without hesitation. For all floral needs pedestals is the only way to go!

11/28/2022 • Samantha K

Could not be happier with how our decor came out for our recent wedding with Pedestals. We worked with Sandy (mid-way through our planning process when she joined the team) and she was great to work with! She was organized and listened to us from start to finish. I can't stop looking at photos of our chuppah!

11/07/2022 • Nicole B

Absolutely brilliant job with everything! The entrance, ceremony’s setup, centerpieces, and even the flowers that adorned the cake were all beautiful. Robert was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend Pedestals to anyone!

We Love You Robert and Pedestals!!!! Let me start by saying Pedestals was my first stop in starting my wedding planning. From the moment I walked in and was greeted by the lovely staff to the moment I met Robert, I knew I made the right choice. Such a seamless beautiful meeting. My mom and I loved Robert right away. He is so kind and actually listens and cares about the vision I had and he brought that vision to reality and then some. The quality of the flowers and the thoughtful meticulously and perfect placement of each and every one was breathtaking. Such professionalism and attentiveness. Robert called and assured us everything would be perfect and it was so nice of him to just check on us and wish us luck on our wedding. He worked with our budget so well and made sure we got the best and beyond !!!! Those centerpieces and arch Huppah were gorgeous !!!! Still getting phone calls and texts raving about the flowers . Dream Vendor for sure !!!!!

Pedestals was truly an incredible vendor to work with for our wedding at the Heritage Club on 10/22. Joseph was extremely helpful through the entire planning process and worked with us to accomodate our budget and adjust our vision as it changed over the course of the year. The chuppah that the team put together far far exceeded our expectations - had multiple guests tell us it was the most beautiful chuppah they had ever seen. The other florals were amazing and perfectly matched our vision! Joseph and the team also let us bring in some of our own florals and set them up very well in the space. We couldn't recommend Pedestals enough!

10/03/2022 • Erica W

Pedestals exceeded our highest expectations!! Joseph was AMAZING to work with and truly has the best eye. The main decor of our wedding revolved around the flowers and everyone commented on how stunning they were. I brought in an inspo photo from online and Jospeh pulled flowers from the back on the spot to try and show how different color combinations would work. Day of, my bouquet was stunning and even more magnificent than I could have imagined. The floral arrangements for tables were beyond impressive and our photographers were so happy with the color combinations saying they would look phenomenal in pictures. Jospeh helped make our vision an even better reality and I cannot recommend him and Pedestals enough!!

9/07/2022 • Carlie M

Joseph was incredible. I couldn’t articulate what I wanted but he just got me and made my dream appear. I knew whatever he did was going to be beautiful and I was not wrong. I totally trusted him and his team.

8/09/2022 • Alyssa C

The flowers at our wedding took my breath away and it was all thanks to Pedestals! Robert and his team did an amazing job designing and bringing to life the floral vision my mom and I had. I wanted simple, elegant, and timeless but I am not educated in the names of flowers so I was nervous I wouldn't have the flowers I was picturing. But Robert knew exactly what I was thinking once I showed him my vision! It was great working with him as well. We were able to meet for a consult and then have a sample showing to preview what the table centerpieces would look like. Thank you Robert and team for making my wedding so beautiful!

8/01/2022 • Sarah O

We worked with Joseph from Pedestals and had an amazing experience from start to finish. When we went in for our first meeting, Joseph brought us into the back and picked a few flowers to put together to see if he was matching our vision. When he came back to show us, my exact words were "This could be my wedding bouquet." Safe to say we were on the exact same page. Joseph showed us photos of different florals from previous weddings he's done, which made it so much easier to see what they can do for ours. Everything was absolutely gorgeous. I didn't need any other decor in my ballroom because the florals were so beautiful and took up just the right amount of space on the tables. Pedestals does it all, you have a vision and they can bring it to life. I can't wait to get my beautiful bouquet preserved in a frame to hang in my home. We will definitely use pedestals for all floral needs in the future. Thank you so much for being a part of our most special day!

We worked with Nadia from Pedestals for our big day & our expectations were far EXCEEDED! Nadia was great to work with, she was personable, sweet & not pushy at all. We sent over a few photos of examples we had in mind with the budget that we were working with & when we came in for our consultation months later she had examples that matched our EXACT vision. I highly recommend Pedestals, the Ballroom looked incredible because of it! Thank you!!

7/19/2022 • Alison F

We worked with Nadia and she was incredible. She totally understood my vision from the first meeting and the flowers were stunning on the day. I am still getting compliments on the flowers and it has been a month since the wedding.

6/24/2022 • Nikki C

Pedestals was incredible!! We used Nadia for our wedding at Village Club at Lake Success on May 21st and we could not recommend her enough!!! Even when we were nervous that things weren't exactly the way we wanted- Nadia was immediately at the venue in person to make sure it was absolutely perfect. It felt like working with a friend. She brought my vision to life and I am so grateful I got to work with her!

6/23/2022 • Marianna K

Pedestals was my number one choice and I don't regret booking them. They delivered more than what I expected. I booked with Nadia... who is the BEST!!! She is so sweet and listens and understands what you want. I had my wedding at the Inn which they know in and out. She helped decorate the Church and the venue beautifully. I never expected to have tall beautiful centerpieces and they were bigger than what I expected. The DAIS was unbelievable. I had guest coming up to touch if all the orchids were real. Nadia knows what she's doing and highly recommend her. Even at our sample appointment, she used the style centerpiece I wanted but she's the expert and provided an opinion. She was right and went with her suggestions. Everything was so beautiful.... I definitely recommend Pedestals and will 100% use them in the future for all events. Thank you for making my dream wedding come true!

6/05/2022 • Wendy G

Pedestals did the flowers for our daughter's wedding on May 29th at The Mansion at Glen Cove and everything was beautiful! We worked with Nadia who brought my daughter's vision to life. Everything from the chuppah to the bouquets and centerpieces were exactly what we wanted. Thank you Nadia and Pedestals!

Pedestals Floral Decorators were our florists for our wedding and truly did a remarkable job decorating our ballroom, church and with the bouquets. We worked with Phil who is so personable and creative. All the floral designs were high quality and absolutely beautiful!
