Renaissance Floral Design

David, Troy, and team were wonderful to work with! As someone who wasn’t willing to spend a great deal on flowers, they still helped bring my vision to life in a way I couldn’t imagined. We ended up renting chargers from them as well, which made all the difference at the tables. David made me feel so relaxed after our first meeting. Not only did he share advice on his experience floral wise, after I shared my venue (Hall of Springs), he suggested to not do a sweetheart table and instead consider a large table for the whole bridal party. His argument was centered around the fact that the room is so big, a sweetheart table will get lost and with a bridal party table, the bride and groom will be able to eat and enjoy with their close friends/family with a lower chance of being interrupted by those who want to come up and speak since you’ll be around so many people. I would have never considered that angle and I'm so grateful he speaks his mind in that regard. I didn’t get pictures of my floral arrangements until the day before my wedding, but they were beautiful and ended up bringing the whole reception room together. I really loved the fact that the corsages for the mothers/grandmothers had a rhinestone band instead of plain – it really made a difference and made them feel so special. Thank you for making beautiful arrangements and decorating flowers for make cake. It was beyond what I could have dreamed of!

The most talented florist in the Albany area for weddings. They worked with my available budget and were able to craft such memorable and unique flowers. The guests loved them and really added an extra flair to our special day. You won't regret hiring them!

David and his team were AMAZING. They were prompt, responsive, patient, and just such a pleasure to work with. And of course, they made the most SPECTACULAR looking chuppah and florals throughout the room people have EVER seen. It was absolutely incredible and people are still raving about it a month later. I couldn't recommend using RFD enough!!!

I absolutely loved working with David & Troy. Despite being out-of-state, the planning process was very easy. They were willing to work within a budget – unlike some of the other vendors I had spoken with. The arrangements were absolutely gorgeous, and it was incredible to see the vision come to life so effortlessly!

We hired RFD for an intimate wedding in Lake George after they were recommended by our wedding venue. David and his team are incredibly talented, easy to work with, and highly professional. David worked with our budget and created exactly what we wanted based on a few conversations and some Pinterest board inspiration. We ended up transporting all of our arrangements to the venue ourselves and the venue helped with setup, which saved us on overall cost. It ended up working out really well and we were blown away by how beautifully everything came together. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!!

I hired Renaissance Floral Design for our wedding in the Adirondacks and I couldn’t have been happier with that decision. I know nothing about flowers so I had a hard time verbalizing my vision for the day but David absolutely nailed it! Every detail was perfect and so many people commented on how beautiful the flowers and table designs were. David and his team knew our venue inside and out and they created a beautiful design that perfectly complemented our entire event. We highly recommend!

DMS and team made our vision come to life, it was amazing. From the flowers, to the lighting, high top tables, dance floor and stage, everything was flawless. He was so accommodating even letting us make changes up until the last few days. RFD is great to work with and David's expertise is so helpful when making decisions, especially since we had never planned a wedding before. He truly is an event visionary extraordinaire! We can't wait to work with him again for future events!

David and the team at RFD did SUCH an amazing job with our flowers for our wedding! We also rented glassware, lighting, an arbor, and table numbers through them and everything looked perfect. So many guests mentioned that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had been to, and I credit that all to RFD since we didn't do much else for decor. They were also so helpful and kind during our planning process as we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. I cannot recommend them enough! My sister is using them for her wedding in September and I cannot wait to see what they put together.

We contacted RFD 3 weeks before our 130 person wedding. David was extremely accommodating with both our timeline and our budget. He was funny, personable, and unbelievably talented. I wasn't expecting the amount of beauty and talent that was delivered for our wedding. I burst into tears when I saw my bridal bouquet--it was everything I had hoped for and more. The bouquet, centerpieces, and sweetheart piece were impeccably crafted and EXCEEDED my expectations. Thank you David and team for adding all of your beauty to our wedding!!

David and team at RFD are artistic geniuses! We worked with them for our intimate backyard wedding in Oct 2020. We knew we wanted the florals and chuppah to make the space feel magical. We showed David high-level ideas and inspiration photos and what he and his team did with the space was incredible. The bouquet – gorgeous! The driftwood chuppah – beyond our wildest dreams! The table arrangements – we were blown away by the beauty and elegance and how the space was transformed. Even the rose petals for the aisle and the small arrangements placed in our memory corner and on other tables transformed and tied together the space. We are so happy with RFD for helping us create lifetime memories!

We chose RFD after video chatting with the owner, David. He understood the vision my now husband and I saw in our heads. When the pandemic changed our plans, David was flexible and supportive. The bouquet they created for our smaller than planned wedding exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to work with them next year for our (fingers crossed!!) much larger vow renewal ceremony. Stunning job.

Renaissance Floral Design gave us beautiful personal flowers for our wedding day! They were able to listen to what we wanted, and look at ideas that we liked and make it into perfect and affordable flower combinations.

Working with David, the owner of RFD was a game changer. He exceeded every expectation possible and provided the most beautiful, picture perfect arrangements and rentals for our wedding. Right from the start, David made coordination and communication easy. He was extensive and thorough in his overview of what we might want or need, and made it easy to begin to visualize and articulate what we were going for. He was able to take our ideas and bring them to life in the most beautiful way. I truly believe that no matter what we had requested, David would have found a way to make it happen. For us, RFD was more than just flowers, but an entire event planning team. We were able to order/coordinate everything from arrangements, lighting/candles, table cloths, glassware and chairs through RFD and it made all the difference. David was always organized, creative and thoughtful, and went above and beyond to make sure anything and everything we pictured for our big day was available and ready to go. The ceremony flowers were unbelievable, with the most stunning arbor and arrangements that exceeded any idea of what we could have imagined. The reception was just as jaw-dropping, as the room had been transformed into a fairytale, thanks to David and his team. Every little detail was covered, and it truly felt like a dream come true. Without having used any other vendor, I can confidently say you will not get a better experience than with RFD. David made our wedding more beautiful than we could have ever imagined, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience, look no further than RFD.

We can't say enough good thing about David Michael and his team at Renaissance. Their creativity and design blew us (and our guests!) away. They listened to our visions and truly brought them to life. The detail and beauty in everything was incredible. They were always professional, and we never worried about a thing. Highly recommended is an understatement!

Could not say enough good things about this place!! Incredible designers, florists, and people! My wedding day was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined because of them.

David Schmidt is truly an artist, and will make the wedding of your dreams come true with a full package of floral, rentals, and design . He was easy and fun to work with at every step of the process, listened to our ideas, and then ran with them! The end product was the most gorgeously decorated wedding we could have ever imagined-- he decked out a gorgeous outdoor ceremony complete with a beautiful arbor of flowers, made a bar look chic and beautiful, and created a starry night in a barn with absolutely beautiful flowers throughout. David is amazing and will do whatever it takes to make your wedding concept come to life.

David is a fantastic florist and it was great working with him! When talking with some other florists, they tried to change what I had envisioned or tell me what would they would do differently. I loved that David immediately asked what I wanted and worked with me throughout the process. I sent him a link of my Pinterest Board and he immediately understood what I was looking for. He exuded confidence and I never once worried that the day wouldn’t look absolutely perfect. Everything was so beautiful! Many people at the wedding complimented his work and I cannot recommend him enough!

David and his team were amazing. They were incredibly professional and made my wedding day over labor day weekend 2017 an absolute dream! We were supposed to have an outdoor wedding but due to a hurricane, we had to move everything inside and flip the reception area to use for the ceremony as well. Thanks to David and his team, the wedding was still stunning and I could not have been happier. Many people told me it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever attended and the flower arrangements were to die for!

I think you know you have a truly amazing vendor when you can tell them an idea of what you want and they run with it, improve upon it, and execute it better than you could have imagined without you having to micromanage anything or feel stressed. That's absolutely how we felt with Renaissance Floral Design from the first meeting through the wedding. David and his team took the pictures I had put on my pinterest board (which just so happened to be weddings Renaissance had done) and their knowledge of how to make our venue space look best, and created an absolutely exquisite ceremony, cocktail hour and wedding. We got countless compliments on the floral, from the beautiful drift wood arch we used for our ceremony to the unique center pieces and chandeliers in the reception. Renaissance Floral managed to capture the exact esthetic we wanted without us having to do or say much. They were also very responsive and mindful of our budget. Everyone we interacted with at Renaissance was a pleasure to work with, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

So happy I hired Renaissance for our wedding day! David understood my vision immediately and delivered exactly what I had pictured in my mind. They were so easy to work with and I loved everything they did for us.

Working with David and his team was a great experience! The flowers/overall design were so beautiful and really made the whole wedding come together! David also made all of the planning in the lead up easy and as stress-free as possible.

David and the Renaissance Floral team were amazing to work with! They answered all our questions every step of the way and being long distance did not hinder our ability to communicate our design. My flowers were breathtakingly beautiful! I loved all the details that went into my reception flowers especially the winter wonderland snow effect. My bridal party bouquets were also gorgeous and everything I hoped for. I highly recommend this vendor!!

Dave was incredible!! I shopped around for some vendors and Renaissance was my last stop. As soon as we sat down and spoke for 2 minutes I knew this is where I would be booking. Dave is essentially a wedding planner/florist. You tell him your budget and he makes it work. His intelligence and attention to detail was impeccable. I left there with a smile from ear to ear. Then come the day of the wedding and my god the flowers and decorations were PERFECT! I gave him free reign on the design for the centerpieces and flowers as long as they were in season and he surprised me with the most beautiful arrangements. Thank you SO much for an amazing job and also being economically affordable!!!

Our wedding was in April and I do not have anything but amazing things to say about Renaissance Floral. From starr to finish, they were easy to work with, professional and so organized. I do not live close to Albany so it was so nice to be able to facetime and talk over the phone. They knew exactly what I wanted and I never had to worry about flowers! They did my chuppah and took care of all the rentals as well!! If you want a floral company that will take care of anything and everything perfectly, Rennaisance is your team!!

David and his team at Renaissance were amazing! He really listened to all of our wants and wishes and made our wedding an absolute dream! Our flowers and decor were beautiful, every little detail was thought of and it showed! I cannot thank David enough! I highly recommend them...any budget, any dream...go see them!

Renaissance was amazing!! Our florals and decor at our wedding at the Sagamore on August 5th were stunning!! Thank you so much to David and his team for making our day perfect! We couldn't have done it without them!! Love, The Paces

David and The Renaissance Floral Design did an amazing job on the flowers and decor. I had used Pinterest to save photos of flower ideas I was looking at. At our first meeting my mom and I went to see him, he had my Pinterest page up on one of his computer screens and was very organized. He suggested different ideas that would work for our venue and after meeting with him I wouldn't have gone to any other florist. He had ideas for everything from flowers, tents, and tables, to chandeliers. The day before our wedding one of his assistants sent me text messages of the flower arrangements and they were just gorgeous. My husband and I had a vision of having fruit in the floral arrangements which he had not worked with before and the flowers were exactly what my husband and I had visioned. All the guests were talking about the flowers and the fruit. He had out done himself. All of our guest who got to take the floral arrangements home with them were just so pleased with David's work. Thank you so much!

David and the Renaissance team designed a wedding right out of a movie for us. Our wedding was set for a rustic location, so my husband and I wanted to use a designer/florist who could take our venue to the next location. David delivered and then some. He created a one of a kind floral alter for us to stand in beneath the mountains that simply breathtaking. All of the details and thoughts put into flowers for the ceremony and reception were meticulous, right down to the gorgeous compass escort table. They are true masters!

Our meetings with this amazing team were perfect - so positive and willing to work within our budget to supply exactly what we wanted. Our florals were FLAWLESS the day of the wedding. Everything we could have wished for and more!

I loved working with this team. David, the owner and talented designer had so many great ideas. He helped me design all of the spaces, helped me pick colors of chairs and flow of events. He really was such a pleasure. His team was great. A young lady named Sarah was incredible, she answered my messages all hours of the night and when I panicked the day before because I forgot something, she made it happen close to midnight. We are looking forward to years of business with them!

If you want a true artist working on craeting the "wedding of your dreams"...hire David Michael Schmidt with Renaissance Floral Design...he is worth EVERY penny!!! I will NEVER forget my special day...it was everything I envisioned and more...David is GEEAT to work with....Hiring his is a must :)

When it comes to flowers, look, tone, feel, decor...everything...these guys are artists! David made my dream wedding come true :)

David will work with any budget that you have and provide you were the utmost professional service. Flowers lasted even a week after the wedding.

David did a wonderful job designing the centerpieces, and I absolutely loved my pink peony bouquet

Renaissance Floral Design did an AMAZING job on the flowers for my wedding!! David and his staff were very professional and easy to work with. David is extremely creative and great at what he does. He knew what I was looking for and created me a vision that had exceeded far beyond my expectations. I was taken back when I walked into my reception room. It looked absolutely gorgeous and it took my breath away! I would recommend that you speak with David right away when planning your wedding because he will immediately make you feel comfortable and let you know that you can completely and 100% trust him!!

Where to begin. I guess it can be with the first meeting I had with the owner David Michael Schmidt. After just a few minutes of talking with him I realized that I was in the presence of an expert who had the experience to make my wedding dreams come ture. I discussed my vision and like reading my mind he made suggestions which I had been thinking about for a while. He isn't a florist he is a visionary. What I had initally thought would be one of the most dreadful parts of wedding planning turned into one of the best wedding meetings ever. I left there with a new nickname for David. I like to call him THE WEDDING GOD! It was finally my wedding day and wasn't just excited about marrying the man of my dreams but also about having the wedding of my dreams. We we arrived at the hall I was so pleased to see David. Luckily he was there because when my photographer suggested I sit on some steps with my beautiful Vera Wang I simply had to refuse unless I had something to sit on. David didn't hestiate and removed his shirt so I could sit on it... Now that is what I call amazing service. lol As we continued taking pictures outside the hall my restlessness grew. I wanted to see the room. I was already in love with my beautiful flowers and my bridesmaids flowers so I was dying to see his amazing work. Finally it was time. I grab my husband's hand and we entered the room. It was then that I knew. My dream wedding had come true. The room was breath taking. The beautiful crystal centerpieces, flowers, linens, crystal chargers, dance floor, drapes and our sweetheart table... ohhhh it was all so amazing!! I can seriously type forever on how happy I was with David's amazing work but instead I want you to see it yourself. See this short video of the amazing details from our wedding created by our videographer Al Woodard http://vimeo.com/40748449 Want to see more check out our event on Renaissance website: www.renaissancefloraldesign.com/events/gloria-louis/

From the moment we walked into Renaissance, my mother and I were OBSESSED with David's work. I wanted anything and everything from his shop! Renaissance is definitely not just a flower shop, they help create the entire vision and feel of your wedding. I had photos of what I liked, but David was able to make my dream a reality-- from crystals in the bouquets and on the tables to a grand terrace alter set up, it was more than I ever could have imagined. It's been about a year since our wedding, and in looking back at our photos, I can't believe that it was as beautiful as it was--it was like something out of a wedding magazine. I can't begin to tell you the compliments we received on the flowers, lighting, etc. Beauty definitely comes at a price, (and of course, the money can always be saved or used elsewhere), but the vision that David helped create was AMAZING. Every florist is not the same, you want a designer that knows his stuff. I highly recommend!

David is like none other. He goes above and beyond, and it shows in the end result. If you are not using him and you live in NY-then you are using the wrong person! He is amazing, wonderful, and fabulous:)

David and his team are the BEST out there, hands down. My personal flowers were INCREDIBLE. I didn't let go of my bouquet for 24 hours - I held it throughout the 9-hour drive to my honeymoon. My guests LOVED our centerpieces - chic, modern, but classic...After seeing his weddings in Well Wed, I knew I had to have Renaissance take care of my flowers and event design. The LEAST stressful part of my wedding planning were the flowers/event design because, after two short meetings, I let David & Tammy take over. EASY!!!

words cannot describe the magic that David created. He turned my chupa into a thing of beauty - made it fit in perfectly in the apple orchard where we got married. He lined the aisle with rose petals. My bouquet and the bridesmaid's bouquet were a surprise - and they were more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined. His centerpieces were fresh and vibrant and in-keeping with my color scheme and just beautiful. He's the best!

Our flowers were absolutely beautiful and unparalleled anywhere I have ever seen. They did fabulous work for our wedding and were so accommodating to what my personality was and my likes. They were willing to hear what I liked and didn't like and totally formulated gorgeous huge flower arrangements for the day. David is an amazing florist and a natural at it!

He was so easy to work with. I had a specific vision and had a hard time with other floral interviews. None of them really seemed to get what I wanted or they said they just plain couldn't do it. Then I went to Renaissance and me David. He is so talented and detail-oriented. Working with him was painless and delightful!;His creative juices never stop flowing! He's a little pricey but worth every penny!
