Working with Pedestal Floral Decorators for our wedding flowers was an absolute dream from start to finish. Joseph and the entire team were incredibly professional, thoughtful, and...
genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life with their expert advice and recommendations. The centerpieces looked absolutely stunning at our reception at Woodside Club, and we couldn't have been happier with every detail they created. We're so grateful to Pedestal Floral Decorators for making our special day even more beautiful—highly recommend them for any wedding flowers or event decorations needs.
We met Sandy at a wedding showcase and knew immediately we wanted to work with Pedestal Floral Decorators for our wedding flowers and event decorations at Westbury Manor. From our ...
initial vision through the sampling process to the final day, Sandy made everything effortless and handled every detail with such professionalism and care. When we arrived at our venue, our bridal party already had their bouquets and boutonnières perfectly arranged, and our table florals were even more stunning in person than we'd imagined. The entire team at Pedestals exceeded our expectations, and we'll always recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional wedding flowers and event decoration services.

ught my exact vision to life with such artistry and care. When I walked into our reception, we truly gasped — it was everything we dreamed of and more. Phil understood our style immediately and elevated it with his creativity and expertise. He is talented, kind, collaborative, and genuinely passionate about his craft. We felt so lucky to work with him. If you want wedding florals that are breathtaking and flawlessly executed, Phil is the one.

hrough the different options of what I thought I wanted during the initial meeting before I even signed up! I know they can be expensive but after reviewing other places, the costs were similar, and Sandy really listened to us. Our bouquets, floating candle centerpieces and fireplace mantle greenery were gorgeous! I even sent my bouquet to be pressed in a frame as a keepsake because I loved it so much!

Pedestals — Absolutely Incredible!
The day we walked into Pedestals and met with Robert, we had no intention of booking our florist that same day — but after spending two and a ha...
lf hours talking with him, we instantly knew he was the one to bring our vision to life. Robert just got it. He completely understood what we were looking for and helped us create the most perfect floral design for our wedding.
Robert is absolutely amazing to work with. He’s creative, passionate, and flexible — always willing to work within your budget to make your vision come to life without ever compromising beauty or quality. From the start, the entire Pedestals team was so friendly, warm, and helpful. Every visit felt personal and stress-free.
One of the most touching moments of our day was seeing Robert right before we walked down the aisle — he surprised us, gave the bride, groom, and our families a big hug, wished us luck, and made sure we were happy with everything. It was such a thoughtful gesture and showed how much he truly cared about making our day perfect.
The flower arrangements were absolutely breathtaking — elegant, unique, and beyond anything we could have imagined. Every centerpiece, bouquet, and detail was flawless and so full of life.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Robert and the entire Pedestals team. They made our day more beautiful than we ever dreamed. We would highly recommend Pedestals — and especially Robert — to anyone looking for a florist who will go above and beyond to make your wedding unforgettable.
Loved working with Joseph from Pedestals! Stress free process and a highlight of wedding planning
I would 1000% recommend Pedestals! We worked with Joe and he was so helpful coming up with ideas, picking out the perfect colors and flowers after showing him a few inspiration pic...
tures. The company was super easy to work with and to schedule appointments, and nothing ever felt rushed. We made an initial appointment to start and then we came back to see the sample centerpiece Joe made to make sure we loved it. Also, the set up and breakdown on the day of the wedding was perfect - everything was there on time and intact.
I could not have asked for a better florist! Not only is their work impeccable but they are the kindest people I’ve ever met. Working with Robert was such a joy and a pleasure. Tru...

I cannot say enough how happy we were with Pedestals florist for my daughter’s wedding at the Village Club in Lake Success. From the first meeting with Joseph to day of the wedding...
everything was perfect. Joseph is a true professional and had great ideas. Every time I emailed or had a question he answered me right away. He even was there right before the wedding to make sure all the flowers and chuppah were perfect. I will definitely be using Pedestals in the future
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 wel...

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, an...
d 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!

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!

I can’t thank Robert enough for creating such a masterpiece. Hire Robert today!

t 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.

stood 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!

gh 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.
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 wh...

aborated 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
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!!!

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!
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.
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.

e 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.
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 fl...
owers 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.
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 ro...
om 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!

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!

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 s...
taff 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 wit...
h 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!
