Sabellico Greenhouses & Florist

After being treated poorly by Twilight Florist on 82 in Hopewell Junction, I contacted Sabellico. I spoke with Beth and she handled my situation with such courtesy and professionalism. I went in and discussed my wedding theme with her and immediately she found a personal connection. Beth was upfront and realistic about availability, timeline and price and was able to provide me with the most BEAUTIFUL bohemian-rustic bouquet. The boutonnieres for the men were a sneak peak of the bouquet and were just perfectly crafted. I will be using Sabellico for all my floral needs in the future!

After my initial wedding floral consult, I was informed that there were no notes on file for my date and that the florist I had spoken to had left the shop. However, Beth was wonderful to speak to and noted all of my requests (particular flowers I liked- peonies and ranunculus, and ones I didn't like- carnations, lilies). The number I was quoted was very different than my initial quote and there was significant concern regarding snow and an added delivery fee as a result. I understood concern regarding snow but given how many years Sabellico has been in business I was confident they could execute on their end of the contract. I exchanged several emails and phone calls with Beth leading up to our big day. I spoke to Beth the morning prior to the wedding. She asked if she could deliver the flowers early to ensure that snow would not be a factor and that there wouldn’t be any hiccups on the day. My bridal party flowers were delivered to my parent’s house that evening. They assured me that there were no concerns about refrigerating the flowers and that they would stay fine in our basement as well as at the event spaces. I saw the church flowers prior to our rehearsal and was horrified. The flowers were not what was agreed on nor were the colors correct. Instead of blush, burgundy and white I was greeted with an arrangement of red roses and carnations. My mom communicated these concerns to Beth who did substitute blush roses and removed the carnations from the church flowers. However, no offer was made to assist with any of the other arrangements which were all wrong. We dispatched relatives to it’s 6 PM on a Friday) to get all the blush and white flowers possible to supplement. My mom and bridesmaids stayed up until midnight retying the bridesmaid bouquets. In no way is this how the night before my wedding should have been spent. There was never an explanation for this substitution and why the flowers included flowers that were not selected. All of the arrangements had purple flowers and berries that were not approved or communicated. I had requested a plain eucalyptus runner for our sweetheart table. The runner that was delivered included ribbon and blush roses. The blush roses were dead prior to the start of the reception. The greenery with ribbons I had requested for the church pews had the wrong color ribbons. My bridal bouquet was absolutely beautiful. It was not what I ordered (no peonies or ranunculus in sight) but it was beautiful. My flower girl’s custom arrangement was beautiful. However, the flowers were wilted and sad looking presumably because of the early delivery. My husband’s boutonniere was beautiful but it had wax flowers in it which were supposed to be real. I understand that supply chain challenges have complicated the floral process but communication would have made me more sympathetic and understanding of the substitutions. My cake was breathtaking but the flowers were red. My centerpieces were bare- two to three larger flowers in a pedestal vase with greenery. Unacceptable for the price I paid. The red flowers in the boutonnieres looked ridiculous with the bridesmaids’ burgundy dresses. I am not one to leave negative reviews. However, I don’t want any bride to have to experience what I did on their wedding day. Given the hours I spent communicating with Sabellico and the amount of money I paid, there is absolutely no reason for the lack of transparency, communication and customer service.

Jennifer and her team did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding flowers! Communication was always easy and we had no issues whatsoever throughout the entire process. She was very knowledgeable about flower varieties and we felt very comfortable in choosing Sabellico's as our vendor from the moment we met with Jennifer. The flowers were delivered exactly when she said they would be the morning of the wedding and they looked amazing. Pricing was also fantastic. I would highly recommend the Sabellico's team to anyone!

I worked with Jennifer for my recent 9.9.17 wedding and was extremely happy with everything. The bouquets were beautiful as were the centerpieces. She listened to everything I wanted and it was executed wonderfully. They were even able to grow the poppies I wanted themselves to save some money which was wonderful!
