Petals by Alice did a beautiful job!! Alice made sure everything was beautiful and truly captured the look that we were going for!! She checked in with me frequently and made sure that I was happy!! She did an amazing job!!!!
Alice was phenomenal. She worked with us to fit exactly what we wanted and even further, truly provided he expertise to help us along. Her suggestions were fantastic and everything came together wonderfully. 5 stars isn't enough!
I hired Alice to provide flowers for my recent September wedding and could not be happier with my decision to do so. Walking into my first meeting with Alice I had very little idea of what I was looking for in wedding flowers but knew within minutes of meeting her that I had found my florist. My goal in finding a florist was to find someone whose aesthetic clicked with mine so that I could simply supply a broad idea of what I like and let them handle the nitty gritty details of the arrangements. That is exactly what I found in Alice. Her aesthetic is simple, elegant and beautiful and her knowledge of flowers impressive. To get a better understanding of what sorts of flowers, arrangements and colors I liked, Alice patiently perused her very extensive beautiful portfolio with me. She highlighted what she believed would work well based on my description of our wedding plans so far as well as what themes she saw on my Pintrest boards. By the end of the meeting not only did she had enough of an understanding of what I liked but so did I. I felt 100% confident in my decision to hire Alice and on the day of my wedding she certainly did not disappoint. My bouquet and all the table arrangements were absolutely perfect! In fact, they were more beautiful than I thought they would be! The flowers she/we chose fit the theme of my day and the dinning room decor perfectly. My bouquet was simple, elegant and beautiful, just the way I wanted it. I really cannot say enough good things about Alice and her work. From start to finish everything ran smoothly, she was a pleasure to work with and she exceeded my expectations. Happy Bride!
I worked with Petals by Alice twice now. Initially for my wedding, after the initial batch of florists I was referred to weren't as professional or as creative as I needed and recently again for a large family party that required many flower arrangements of different types and styles. She is easy to work with and extremely additive in every way - from flower ideas that enhanced the look of the place to taking on responsibilities that were outside the exact job description of a typical high end florist but that made certain key aspects of the planning and implementation day-of event easier for me. Her pricing is also extremely reasonable for someone this experienced and the quality of her arrangements are extremely, extremely good. You will not be disappointed.
I cannot recommend Alice highly enough. She was the most dedicated and thoughtful vendor who we worked with throughout our wedding planning, and the product of her meticulous planning and execution is breathtaking. Alice not only designed our wedding day arrangements and personal flowers, but also my bridal shower decor. All of our guests were stunned by the creativity and freshness of the flowers. Some of our wedding arrangements lasted for over a month! One quick example of how exceptional Alice is... for my bouquet, there was a particular leaf that the market did not have in stock. Alice actually picked this leaf from her own garden to make sure my arrangement was perfect.
I can only say, the brides that have the opportunity to work with Alice are truly fortunate to have a partner and artist by their side. She will make your vision a reality (and if you don't have one, she will provide inspiration and guidance to make each detail absolutely magical).
When looking for a florist for my wedding, I was extremely picky and nervous. Flowers were so very important to me and I had something very specific in mind.
I met with a few florists, but it was when I met Alice that I knew the search was over. Before I even met her, she was so enthusiastic via email--the woman loves flowers--and you can tell.
My husband and I went to her location for our first meeting. It was so great to be able to see them preparing flowers for a wedding that day--awesome to see what kind of quality she produced. So beautiful and meticulous.
When Alice met with me, I could tell she knew her stuff and saw what I was going for. My only hesitation about everything was that I was worried that I wouldnt get to see a sample before the big day! Alice was very understanding and flexible and offered to do it for me weeks before the wedding using another brides flowers that were similar in color to mine--by that point I trusted that she would do a great job and didn't even feel the need to go see it before.
So glad I didn't, because on the day of..the flowers...WERE PERFECT!!!!!!! so beautiful, and pretty. exactly what I had in mind. She even listened when I emphasized lots of candles, with a very romantic and rustic look. The centerpieces with the tapered candles she did were perfect and exactly what I was looking for.
Alice knows what she is doing, and shes great at it. Thank you Alice!!
When we asked our reception venue who their favorite florist to work with was, he immediately recommended Petals by Alice. Her work for our July 2014 wedding proved to be a stunning reflection of what we were looking for! She was easy to work with, happily made adjustments to our plan as numbers got confirmed, and even took time on her day off to meet with me (an out of town bride). While her prices were higher than other quotes we received, we decided to go with her because of her experience with our location, her ample floral knowledge, and our confidence that she knew just what we wanted after our first meeting. The flowers really popped at both our wedding ceremony and reception and we were honored to be able to share the centerpieces as gifts to special guests. We would highly recommend Alice!
Petals by Alice did a truly spectacular job with our Rehearsal Dinner flowers. The bride was planning elegant and fancy flowers for her wedding (purple vanda orchids and calla lillies), so we wanted to stay in the same color scheme but with a different feel -- farmer's market and gardeny. Petals by Alice wove vines of purple clematis through centerpieces of lisianthus, Scabiosa, spray roses, zinnias, dusty miller and geranium leaf, hydrangea, and Love in a Mist. They were truly breathtaking -- and lasted beautifully, to be used again two mornings later for an after-the-wedding brunch. Alice gave great advice, but also responded so well to my very specific likes and dislikes. And the escort table centerpiece was knock-out. This is an events-only company, doing creative and very special work, and I would highly recommend Petals by Alice to anyone wishing for very special flowers for their special day.
Alice and her team did such a great job. I could not have envisioned flowers more beautiful for my wedding day! I got many compliments from guests on all the beautiful arrangements and bouquets. Alice is also very thorough, and professional...a pleasure to work with.
We loved working with Alice and our flowers were absolutely beautiful. She spent a lot of time going over exactly what I wanted - showing photos of other weddings at our venue which were extremely helpful. She also proposed alternatives when certain items were too expensive (for example, my initial preference for the mantle decor was for lanterns; as an alternative, she sourced candles). All of our guests commented on how lovely the flowers were! Many also mentioned that they lasted for several days after the wedding - you could tell that her stock was very high quality. Alice's organization and style was top notch throughout the process.
We received gorgeous centerpieces and arrangements by Petals by Alice. We gave her our vision and she exceeded our expectations. The flowers were fresh and vibrant and the quality was excellent. Alice offers fantastic customer service; she and her design team executed the delivery and set-up flawlessly. The guests complimented the floral design throughout our event.
We used Petals by Alice for our wedding at The Garrison Inn on 7/26/14. Alice and her team went above and beyond my expectations. Alice completely understood my vision and took the time with me to go over every detail before my wedding. She created the most gorgeous blush, white and ivory arrangements for our centerpieces. She also created the most amazing bouquets for both myself and my bridesmaids. The thing that impressed me the most were the very large (as requested by me) urns that were set in front of the pergola at the ceremony. She was able to use an amazing variety of blush, whites, ivories and light green flowers to create the urn flower arrangements that had both height and fullness. This was a little different set up than she usually does at this venue but she was happy and flexible with my vision and they turned out stunning. Our friends and family continue to tell us how wonderful the flowers looked.
On another note, Alice and her team were true professionals throughout the planning process. Alice laid out a very organized contract for me so I knew there would be no "surprises" the day of the wedding.
I would highly recommend Alice and her team!
Recently we had a wedding ceremony&reception at the Garrison, NY. If I did not speak to Alice and meet Alice&her team, I would have not done the business with. Alice&her team were sincerely discussed and worked for my ideal bouquets and the decoration of the venue. Alice has a great scenes of ideas, planning, and the direction to reach out to your goal for your particular event. The outcome of the day of my wedding flowers was an Exactly I have imagined!! What an amazing detail flower dream work that Ms K.M. did on my wedding!! When we went to greet Ms K.M., I understood how did such an outstanding decoration come out the way they were... her sweet&elegant personality have shown on each flower decoration of her creation.
I truly recommend "Petals By Alice" flower, especially for your wedding and I assure you, they will do a spectacular job the way you want it to be! Deeply thankful to Petals By Alice...
Alice was a pleasure from the beginning. I had relied on all of her great reviews when booking her and was not disappointed. We met early on before I knew how I wanted the wedding to look, and Alice gently guided me through different color combinations that would highlight the natural beauty of the Westchester venue. About 6 months before the wedding, we met again and changed the color palette - which was never a problem with Alice. She was very responsive to all of my emails and questions, to my last minute additions, and delivered the most beautiful floral arrangements. Everything was bright, with natural/rustic/organic feel to it.
I'm a very picky person, and Alice totally nailed it. Trust her to do her job and she'll exceed expectations.
I cannot say enough about how happy I was with choosing "Petals by Alice" for my wedding. I met with several other florists before finding Alice and I just wasn't excited about anything that they had shown me. As soon as I sat down with Alice I knew I wanted to work with her. She completely understood the look I was going for and came up with something even better than I could have ever envisioned! My mother is a horticulturist (and therefore very picky about flowers) and she was also blown away by the final result. All of the guests were raving about the centerpieces and racing to grab one to take home at the end of the night! On top of her amazing talent, Alice was also a pleasure to work with. If you have the opportunity to book Alice for your wedding, do not hesitate!!
We recently used Alice for our October wedding and she was amazing! I came into her studio as the first florist we met with (we met with others following) and I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted at first but she was able to help guide me to create my perfect vision- which she then flawlessly executed!!! We got married outside at Greentree Country Club and the pergola that she did was so fabulous people talked about it non stop- she went above and beyond! The only (very minor) "complaint" I had was my bouquet was supposed to have a small cascade and it didn't but the bouquet was still so beautiful it's not really a complaint at all! Also very helpful was that Alice was very responsive which is important in my eyes. Thanks again to Alice for the beautiful flowers!
I can't say enough about Alice! Flowers were very important to me! From the very start I trusted her completely. She knows her business inside and out and will make your floral dreams come to live. When I walked into my reception I was flawed by how absolutely gorgeous everything looked. Every detail was attended to and was perfect. People were complimenting us on our centerpieces all night. My bouquet and my girls bouquets were everything I imagined and more. Alice is an absolute pleasure to work with, she's a professional (I finally stopped giving direction and just let her do her thing and it was the best decision I ever made!), every wedding has her name on it and she give 1000% to you! She's honest, reliable and willing to work within your budget. We were thrilled working with Alice!
Alice, Junko, and Kayoko did an amazingly beautiful job with all of the flowers at the event, from the bouquets to the table settings. We received so many compliments on the flowers from everyone, including many who said that they usually never notice table settings. They worked tirelessly and were even able to get the hard to find blooms that I requested. They were also very communicative and always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Alice Norwick provided floral services for my daughter's wedding 9/7/2013 at Locust Grove, Poughkeepsie, NY.
Everything was perfect. Alice was able to bring our vision to reality and many of the wedding guests asked who provided the flowers for the wedding. The flowers were beautiful!
Alice listened very carefully to our ideas and was always flexible and had a great sense of humor throughout our entire planning process.
Please consider Petals by Alice for your wedding/event. You will be totally satisfied.
Christine
Alice just did the flowers for my wedding on 8/31/2013. Everything was perfect. I explained to her my vision for my wedding and she perfectly created it. Alice kept in touch with me throughout the process, double checking everything that I wanted was included and correct, and making sure what I wanted and what she was making were one in the same.
The flowers were absolutely in the perfect state of bloom, the types of flowers she used were of the best quality and were put together so beautifully. She also provided numerous candles for the reception so the evening glittered.
She made my wedding and reception absolutely beautiful!
I recently had my wedding at end of July. When I started my wedding planning I used TheKnot to research most of my potential vendors. When I came across the listing for Petals by Alice I was floored by all the wonderful reviews. Petals by Alice is conveniently located close to my house and thought this might be a good fit. Well I was wrong, Petals by Alice was the PERFECT FIT! I based my decisions on TheKnot reviews only, took a chance, and the minute I met Alice and saw some of her work I knew this was our florist. From the moment we met with Alice I knew she was a spectacular women and had an amazing vision. I simply gave her photographs of flowers I liked and styles I had in mind. When I saw my bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, and centerpieces the day of my wedding, I couldn’t believe how beautiful the flower arrangements came to life from a mere picture. Thank you Alice for making our flowers one of the memorable parts of our wedding! With Love, Sandra & Brian Feeney
Alice came highly recommended to me and my husband and it soon became clear why!! Her portfolio of past weddings was extensive and her knowledge of flowers is exceptional. She worked with my husband and I on our vision for wedding. On the day of our wedding Alice met us at the church and pinned all of my gentlemen with their boutonnieres. My girls bouquets and my bouquet held up throughout the entire day and night despite the 100+ degree heat and the unbearable humidity. Actually the girls bouquets looked brand new for most of that week!! My husband and I would highly recommend Alice. Her knowledge and professionalism made the process of picking our wedding flowers as easy as it could be.
We recommend Alice!!
From the moment I met Alice I knew I was in good hands. She brought her years of experience and design expertise to the table to help me create the exact look I wanted for my wedding. Alice helped guide me along the process, had excellent suggestions, gave generously of her time and the day of the wedding-WOW! Even though I knew what the flowers were going to look like, I was floored when I saw them. The centerpieces were incredible and my bouquet was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Thank you Alice!! You really went above and beyond.
Alice was easy to work with. She gave great suggestions and the results showed. Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were from the bouquet to centerpieces,
Alice was incredible! From our first meeting I had no doubt our flowers would be stunning, and the pictures of her work don't do it justice. Her experience is extensive and her guidance was so genuine. She never pushed the most expensive option, rather let us know what was in season and what would look the best. She always listened to what we wanted and designed an overall concept that went with the feel of our wedding - everything tied together perfectly, from the bouquets to the centerpieces.
My guests still can't stop talking about the flowers - they were really stunning and everyone said they have never seen anything like them at a wedding. The colors and textures she used were amazing and our ceremony structure made the space so much more romantic - it was really perfect.
Alice was always very responsive, honest, and a true pleasure to work with. I was so happy to have her make our wedding so special and we can't thank her enough. If you're looking for an amazing florist with unbelievable talent and reasonable pricing, you can stop now - Alice is it.
I recently used Petals by Alice for my wedding in Poughkeepsie, NY. I was pleased with all aspects of my experience. Alice was a pleasure to work with and provided a beautiful product. I was overjoyed with the quality and freshness of the flowers as well as the artistry with which they were presented. Alice was able to take my vision and make it a reality. I would highly recommend this vendor and will use her again in the future.
We had high expectations for Alice who we found through a bridesmaids mother and she still meaningfully exceeded them. Everything she pulled together for us at our wedding was perfect, from the card table to the center pieces to the bouquets, our event was exquisite. Thank you soo much Alice, we highly recommend your services!
Before hiring Petals by Alice, I had done extensive research on a number of floral designers in Westchester for my wedding at the Wainwright House. I was looking for 3 important things: 1) someone who understood my vision, 2) dependability and 3) budget sensitivity. Alice delivered on all three and then some. From the moment I met Alice she was warm and welcoming and put me at ease. My vision had evolved leading up to the wedding and she accommodated my requests without hesitation. I requested a unique setup of my escort cards which she (and a calligrapher she recommended) executed perfectly! I was completely obsessed with my bouquet and every single arrangement she created! I can't thank Alice and her team enough for creating such a beautiful event. I can’t even count how many guests came up to me on the day of the wedding raving about the centerpieces and floral arrangements! Alice is such a pleasure to work with – once you hire Alice, you’ll never have to stress about your flowers. She takes care of everything!!
This past weekend Alice provided the flowers for our daughter's wedding - a palette of soft peaches, pinks, and creamy whites were woven into truly magical bouquets, table pieces and other accents. Paper lanterns were hung over the dance floor to add just the right touch of magic to a truly enchanted evening. Each floral arrangement looked as though we had strolled through a garden and casually selected the most perfect blooms. We cannot thank her enough for her artistry and vision - we highly recommend her work!
Petals by Alice was a pleasure to work with for my wedding day! Once we met and reviewed the tear sheets I had I was totally confident that Alice would make my vision come true & she did not disappoint! My wedding date was the Saturday after super storm Sandy & in no way did this affect Alice. Everything was delivered on time & looked absolutely gorgeous. My rustic wedding dream came true!
From the first day my groom and I met with Alice, there was not a doubt in our minds that she was simply amazing, truly a world-class florist. She took my somewhat unconventional vision ("A Midwinter Night's Dream") and make it more than a reality; she created our dream wedding! We received countless compliments from our guests about every arrangement: from our escort table, to our chuppah, to our bouquets to our absolutely stunning centerpieces. She just did the most phenomenal job, I can't get over it! She is reliable, professional, responsive and above all else, talented beyond belief! I would highly recommend working with Alice to anyone!
Alice did my wedding this past July and the flowers were beautiful. Everything was just as I hoped for and more. We only had to meet one time before the wedding and she instantly got the feel for my wedding and helped me pick the centerpieces and ceremony flowers. On the day of the wedding she was there to make sure all the flowers were perfect. I would highly recommend her services. I also felt that the price was affordable and Alice was able to work within my budget.
My husband and I were married on October 28, 2012 -- the eve of Hurricane Sandy -- at The Garrison, in Garrison, New York. We wanted a Fall theme, so we asked Alice to focus on reds, oranges and yellows. For our wedding, we collected over 100 (no exaggeration) antique glass bottles in various colors and shapes, and we told Alice we really wanted her to incorporate ALL of them into the table centerpieces. Talk about tough customers!
Alice's designs were absolutely stunning -- and she did indeed use them all. She managed to accentuate the particular style and character of each small bottle with the perfect arrangement of a few simple but beautiful flowers, and she gave the arrangements enough variety that absolutely nothing was generic or duplicative. We added a few pumpkins and gourds and some amber votives that Alice brought, and the tables looked elegant, tasteful and glamorous.
We were also so impressed with Alice's designs for our chuppah, the aisle jars, the cake and the escort card table, where Alice gave us a centerpiece that incorporated artichokes, brussel sprouts and some tasty pears (that my husband snacked on at midnight in our honeymoon suite, since you never get to eat enough at your own wedding!)
We truly loved the whole look and feel of our wedding, and it's really thanks to Alice.
"Petals By Alice" is exquisite. Alice and her staff are exceptional, imaginative and full of creativity. This past summer, Alice made my wedding at the Wainwright House [in Rye, NY] come alive, bringing together beautiful shades of coral, peach and apricot roses against green and white hydrangeas. I am still completely in love with my bouquet - it stayed fresh and spectacular all day [even in the 90 degree NY summer heat!]
We also had a huge bridal party and therefore had a complicated flower order [centerpieces, bouquets, church pew and altar arrangements, a garland, cocktail table mason jar arrangements, pomanders for the flower girls, many many corsages and boutonnieres], all of which Alice provided perfectly. Everything reflected the elegant, yet simple look and feel that we had in mind.
My husband, my parents and I were so thrilled with how everything came to life and would recommend Petals By Alice to all brides in the Westchester County/NYC area. Thank you Alice, for your beautiful creations that our friends and family are still raving about!
Alice did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding on 9/30/12. We showed Alice some pictures of the types of flowers and colors [ideas that were scattered because we didn't really know what we were doing] we liked for our wedding and the result was even better than what we imagined. Our theme was bright orange and we were so concerned that the flowers wouldn't be as bright as we pictured being peachy or dull. But Alice understood us and delivered even more than what we imagined. From the pergola decor to bouquets to centerpieces, every piece Alice created was incredibly beautiful!! The large arrangements she made and the pergola decorations were more magnificent than we could ever have imagined. They made our outdoor ceremony absolutely magical! She used bright, eye-catching flowers that were unique and not what you would see in a typical flower arrangement and transformed them into art. Alice was very professional and accommodating during the entire wedding planning phase. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner and always gave us very good suggestions. Her designs and arrangements are so beautiful. She even called me about a back up plan just in case it rained that day. Alice was truly a pleasure to work with and we really valued her professionalism, attention to detail, and incredible talent. We could not have been happier! We highly recommend her for anyone looking for top quality service and product. Thank you Alice for making our wedding dreams come true!
Alice did an excellent job with the flowers and arrangements for our wedding. She was professional to work with, and very helpful in helping us 'realize' what we were trying to achieve for the wedding. Our arrangements were beautiful, and we enjoyed thoroughly working with Alice .
Alice did a fantastic job for my daughter's wedding. I never saw so many beautiful flowers and such a special combinations of colors and greens on the arrangements. Many of our guests said the it looked like a fairy tale. Alice was very professional. I would recommend Petals by Alice highly if you want that magical touch in your wedding.
Wow! My flowers were everything I could ever want I went to Alice with a ton of ideas, but overall I rid not have an exact picture what I want. But Alice gave exactly want I wanted. We had an outdoor ceremony with a pergola, Alice covered in flowers and crystals matching my color scheme as well as matching the fall foliage. The centerpieces were tall manzanita branches with hanging votives and crystals, at the base was beautiful flowers. I have gotten so many compliments. Alice was a pleasure to work with, she was warm kind and understanding!
When I first met Alice, I knew right away I wanted to work with her because I knew she would do an amazing job. She's a true professional with many years of experience and knew exactly how to make my ideas a reality. It was such a pleasure working with her and the flowers were absolutely stunning. All I did was show her a few pictures of flowers I liked and she knew what was going to be in season, what flowers came in the colors I wanted and created beautiful bouquets without breaking my budget. I would highly recommend her and will steer all of my bride-to-be friends to her! I know they won't be disappointed.
My daughter had an unusual theme. She wanted a "vintage, woodland fairytale wedding". Alice nailed it! The table arrangements were flawless and beautiful. The bouquets for the bride, maid of honor and bridesmaids were lovely. The arbor she created for the outdoor ceremony captured all of what the bride was looking for. We met with several florists prior to choosing Alice and ONLY ALICE met our standards. She is a consumate professional and visionary. Her arrangements are not just flowers. She incorporated fruits and other items so that everything stands out from the commonplace. If you want beauty that extends far beyond the usual wedding floral arrangements USE ALICE. She will sit with you until she has a complete vison of what you are looking for and then you will see it come to life at your wedding like no one else could ever do. As for service, Alice has an amazing team who really care about each wedding as if it is the most important event ever. I've been to many weddings and corporate events and I've never seen arrangements like Alice's. She and her team are true artists.
Alice Norwick is an artist who creates masterpieces of color and shape with flowers. The way the colors blended in her bouquets and arrangements for my daughter's wedding was like a Monet's garden painting. Alice listened to what we wanted for the wedding and her designs, colors and choices of flowers exceeded our expectations. Every detail was finely crafted, from the exquisite and dramatic fabric draping at the ceremony site to the delicate tussie mussies for the mothers of the bride and groom. Alice's color palette echoed the September season of late summer to early fall perfectly. We were amazed to see the arrangement of flowers and fabric framing the beautiful view at the Hollow Brook Golf Club where the ceremony and reception took place. Table centerpieces were full of gorgeous flowers artisically arranged. Bouquets for the maids were bright and colorful against the subtle background of their grey dresses. It was all so beautiful and truly a masterpiece! Alice, we can't thank you enough.
We were referred to Alice by our venue - she had done several weddings at Wainwright House before so we took a chance and scheduled a meeting with her. At the meeting, I was nervous that our crazy ideas for centerpieces and decor would make flower-planning difficult, but I was pleased to find that Alice is as passionate and creative as I am - it was a perfect fit! The flowers at our event were incredible. Not only did Alice bring our vision to life, but she kept in close contact with me and sent me emails and texts about any ideas that she had that might add to our vision. As well, her knowledge of flowers was impressive - she taught me the names of more flowers than I've ever heard of in my whole life put together, and I really appreciated it. Also, of all of our vendors, coordinating the contract and payment with Alice was by far the easiest. As we made updates and changes to the decor, she immediately made note of it in our contract so that there was never a moment where we were unsure of how much we were spending. On the day of the wedding, she was on site and set up with plenty of time to go, and even was able to help me distribute flowers to my mothers of the bride/groom, flower girls, bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc. I put all my faith in Alice and she didn't let us down. I recommend her to anyone who has a creative side and wants someone who will really bring something special to their event.
Choosing Alice as our wedding florist was one of the best decisions we made in the planning of our special day. Alice exceeded our expectations and helped us create a vision that we had no idea existed! She provided wonderful suggestions and exuded a confidence in her work that was comforting. She was professional, accessible, and so sweet! You can't go wrong! Thanks Alice!
I must admit that, before planning my wedding, I knew very little about flowers. But that all changed after working with Alice. I really can’t sing her praises enough. Her knowledge and impeccable taste were apparent from the start and I immediately knew that I was in good hands just minutes into our first meeting. She took note of all of my and my fiance’s ideas and transformed them into arrangements that I could not have anticipated turning out more breathtaking. I think I actually gasped when I saw our final table arrangements all set up. They were absolutely stunning. As were my and my bridesmaid’s bouquets, and the boutonnieres. I can’t even tell you the number of guests who approached me to compliment the flowers and say they were some of the prettiest they had seen. If I could do it all over, I would choose to work with Alice again in a second. Not only does she create beautiful arrangements but she is organized, efficient, and one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. Overall, working with her was a wonderful experience and we can’t thank her enough!
Alice is a wonderful person to work with and her character and personality shine through in her work. She is very attentive to what you want, executes perfectly, and can run with your ideas as well. We wanted a very specific look for the altar and she nailed the look perfectly. We had an idea for the centerpieces, and she was able to make them even better. This means that if you have a specific look that you want, she can do it, and if you don't, she can put something together that will capture what you want. She's also very genuine and truly cares about her brides. She takes pride in her work, and she should because her work is excellent.
Thank you Alice!!
My husband and I worked with Alice this past June for our wedding at the Garrison. She came as a preferred vendor and she lived up to our expectations. Alice was never too busy to take my calls and answer my questions. She was alway prompt in her reply to questions and very personally invested in our happiness. All of the bouquets and centerpieces exceeded my expectations. She took my ideas and brought them to life. The DAY before our wedding, we realized that we forgot to make a headpiece for my husband's mother for a traditional ceremony. Alice took a piece of ivy from her own personal plant at her house to make us exactly what we needed. No hesitations!! Alice was more than willing to work with our budget and make adjustments when necessary. Most of all, Alice loves what she does and it shows. She takes great pride in her work and is extremely concerned with everyones happiness. Thank you so much Alice.
Alice did an absolutely amazing job on ALL of our wedding flowers! Everything was so beautiful, and we were so happy with every last arrangement. I absolutely loved my bouquet, and the center pieces really made the tables look amazing. It looked not only beautiful, but elegant, professionally done, she really did a great job. She worked with us on price, although I wouldn't say it was cheap by any means, but you get what you pay for. Would definitely recommend her for your wedding, you won't be disappointed!
Petals by Alice is a phenomenal establishment! From the moment that I met Alice, I knew that her expert touch would help to bring my wedding alive. Alice was exceedingly prompt in all of her communications, and she was extremely amenable to my schedule. When we met, she ran through several different options within my price point (all lovely). She jumped in with suggestions when added, but was happy to let me take charge where I felt comfortable. Her expert advice served me well beyond the realm of flowers--for example, Alice advised me that navy tableclothes would be too dark in the evening and steered me towards champagne. However, she never pressured me in any direction...I always followed her guidance, but that was due to the fact that what she recommended was perfect time and again. Throughout the course of our working relationship, which spanned over a year while planning my wedding, she was always responsive while still letting me take the reins. Alice is flexible and accomodating to any sort of desires and budgets, and I cannot recommend Petals by Alice enough!
Petals by Alice did an amazing job with the flowers for my wedding ceremony and reception. Alice did a great job working with my budget and vision of low and long arrangements of lush, garden-esque hydrangea, roses, tulips... The wedding flowers were absolutely gorgeous! I loved the bouquets and table arrangements especially. She was easy to work with and responds quickly to e-mail and phone calls. I highly recommend Alice and her team.
I had a wonderful experience working with Alice! I contacted her only a few weeks before the wedding, so we were never actually able to meet face to face. She was professional and always responded quickly to my emails or phone calls. She seemed confident in her ideas, and I trusted her completely. And I am so glad I did! She designed beautiful centerpieces that matched the decor of the venue perfectly. Everything came out better than I would have ever expected! I would definitely recommend using Petals by Alice for any event!
I'd like to start my review of Petals by Alice by saying that Alice was the first and only (!) floral designer that my now husband and I had met with for our March wedding. I cannot say enough nice things about Alice, but I'd first like to start by talking about how we found Alice. Our venue had a list of a few local Westchester florists that they recommended but that we were not required to use. I had heard of a few of these other florists through the grapevine,but I found that most of them had mixed reviews.. Then, one google search led to another which led me to Petals by Alice. Through looking at photos, I was amazed at her work. Alice also has nearly 100% positive reviews on every reviewable site!
I was beyond impressed with Alice at our first meeting.We met in the office of Alice's workshop (she is not a florist!) and looked through photos, books, web albums of her work. Again, I was blown away. Alice's work is not that of your run of the mill, frou frou wedding flowers. Her designs are simple, elegant, classy and unique. Admittedly, my knowledge of flowers is a bit lacking... all I knew that I wanted was a hot pink bouquet! Alice sat with us for about 2 hours, went through every last detail of our wedding and bridal party to get a sense of the theme/style/our likes and dislikes. Alice is very detail oriented and literally wrote down all of our ideas in her notebook. From those, we were able to come up with all sorts of ideas for flowers, linen, candles and so forth. Alice was honest with pricing and worked to keep items within our price point. Any designer who sits with you before you sign a contract is certainly dedicated to a job well done.
I had one more meeting with Alice before the wedding to view a sample of what my tables would look like. Again, I was beyond impressed with Alice's work and attention to every last detail that we had discussed. I would email Alice frequently with more ideas, questions, pictures etc and she took all of that into consideration.. remembering every last thing! With a large florist, you do not get this sort of attention to detail. Here, you work with Alice and ONLY Alice! For a stressed bride, this was such a blessing.
On my wedding day, Alice and her staff were punctual and started the day early. They decorated the large hotel ballroom, the church (which was ~ 20 minutes from venue) and Alice herself came to pin all of the groomsmen, corsage the moms and deliver the bouquets herself. Oh.. and my cake! Alice helped to decorate my cake... it looked EXACTLY how I described that I wanted it. Simply stunning! My hot pink bouquet was everything I dreamed of! My girls' bouquets were equally as gorgeous - a simple arrangement of pale pink roses. It was so elegant. Our venue looked perfect.. we had smaller centerpieces of a ball of roses in a chandelier looking vase with candles and trinkets .. all of which sat on top of a mirror. I was going for sort of 1920s/elegant/vintagey sort of theme and these certainly fit that. We also had bows tied to chairs which helped to brighten the large ballroom. My guests were delighted to be able to take home centerpieces (which I purchased at Alice's suggestion.. so thankful that we did!)
As you can tell by this ridiculously long review, I cannot say enough about Alice. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and I will remember how beautiful everything was on my wedding day for years to come. A million thanks, Alice!!
I strongly urge you to meet with Alice before any other floral designer. You won't go elsewhere, I promise. She is as elegant and wonderful as the arrangements she designs. The number of comments received from the guests regarding the free-standing displays, the bouquets, and the centerpieces was staggering. My daughter's wedding was absolutely magical and Alice played a major role in making it so.
Petals by Alice did a great job with the flowers at our wedding - they were fresh and beautiful and exactly what I asked for. Great job!
Alice was a dream vendor! She was able to guide us with her impeccable taste while keeping an eye on our budget. The flowers were spectacular, and blended in so well with the indoor/outdoor venue (Wainwright House in Rye, NY). The centerpieces were snapped up by the guests at the conclusion of the wedding, with many reporting that they lasted a couple of weeks! But the most important thing is Alice’s commitment to customer service and satisfaction. The wedding had to be postponed by a day at the last minute, due to Hurricane Irene. Alice didn’t miss a beat, but adjusted her schedule to accommodate us. We will never forget her beautiful work and great service!
I am so happy that I found Petals by Alice. When I was looking for a florist I found that many were over the top (in both aesthetics and price) or underwhelming and not creative. I was so happy when I met Alice - she had creative and unique designs, loads of experience, patience, and wonderful, thoughtful recommendations. I trusted her vision and knew that she would do a great job with our wedding, but I was not prepared for what I saw on our wedding day. The bouquets and floral arrangement were stunning,and our wedding canopy was so breathtaking...I will never forget walking down the aisle and joining my (now) husband in that beautiful space. I would recommend Alice and her wonderful staff to anyone. Thanks again!!
My wedding was on October 29th of this year and many of you will remember that we happened to have quite the winter snow storm. The weather caused a lot of havoc that day; with trees down, roads closed but despite all of this, Alice managed to get to the venue and do her job. She could easily have called me to cancel but she didn't which reflects her professionalism. The flowers she provided for my event were absolutely beautiful and she executed the vision I had for my big day without a flaw. Alice is incredibly professional, responsive and truly cares about providing the best service. I have nothing but rave reviews for Alice ! And one more thing, her prices were very reasonable and I found it incredibly helpful that during the planning process she was vocal about what was and wasn't within my budget since this was important to me. So with all of that said, i would without a doubt recommend Petals By Allice.
Right from our first meeting, I knew Alice was the right florist for me. I had met with other florists prior to meeting Alice, but I just didnt feel comfortable with them. I don't know much about flowers, and Alice was able to reccomend different types of flowers based on the colors I like. She also took a lot of time with me and showed me different photos of previous wedding's she's done, so I could get an idea for what I like. Alice was so patient, responsive, organized, and creative throughout the entire process. I had many requests, and Alice was able to handle all of them! She also was able to give me unbelievable suggestions. I think she has an amazing feel for what brides are looking for. Most importantly, the flowers at my wedding were BREATHTAKING. People are still telling me how beautiful my chuppah was. I highly reccomend Alice to anyone that wants someone easy and professional to work with, and also wants beautiful flowers on their wedding day! Thanks Alice!!
We were really impressed with the high professionalism, creativity and impecable taste of Alice. All the arrangements came out perfect- the size, the combination of colors and different kinds of flowers- everything came out perfect. Alice suggested we use lampshades as part of the arrangement for the tables, and it was such an unusual and elegant touch. All our guests commented on the beauty of bridal bouquets as well and I keep looking at the wedding pictures and admire the georgeous flowers that made this day even more beautiful. Thank you,Alice!
Alice was fantastic, and we're so glad she was our wedding florist. My bouquet was absolutely gorgeous, and the table centerpieces were exquisite. When I met with Alice, I had an idea of what I wanted, and she was generous with her time and expertise as we discussed and determined how to make it a reality. Not only did Alice match the colors I'd envisioned, but she also gave me the vintage style I wanted, both in the types and texture of the flowers as well as the vases she used. Everything was beautiful. My husband and I are most grateful to Alice for providing candles and glass urns for the church at the very last minute -- because of an unexpected snowstorm, there was no power in the church, and the morning of the wedding, Alice gathered up candles for the aisle and windowsills to brighten and warm up the church -- I don't know what we would have done without her!
It took me some time to write this review because I was searching for words that would do Alice justice. Thoreau, Wordworth, Whitman? Well, finally, I'm just reviewing from the heart. Alice was patient and creative and found a way to bring everything I dreamt of into her spectacular bouquets and centerpieces, and, well, everything. The centerpieces were lush and romantic, the vessels she chose, perfectly matched my personality and the vision I had, something of a combination of vintage and artistic, unique. I absolutely loved Alice's work. The flowers also lasted so long. The next day I saw my in-laws carrying a few centerpieces to their car and it looked like they could have been going to a wedding that day. Days later the centerpieces still were bright and so utterly gorgeous. I only wish I could have them growing throughout my home now. Also, I still cannot get over the value. Alice blew me away. So blessed to have found her!
