Tim and Jennifer created the most incredible floral arrangements and decor for our backyard wedding. They turned our deck into a magical garden that was more beautiful than we could’ve ever imagined. Thank you!!

Tim & Jen are wonderful! They did floral gymnastics to make my wedding floral dreams come true. We’ve been working with them for two years to plan our wedding (through two covid-postponements) and when the day finally came, flowers were hard to come by! Due to climate change, the covid pandemic, and the China trade issues - it was very challenging to get any flowers, let alone the ones we had planned on. We really appreciated that Tim & Jen were so transparent about the issues we were facing. Despite these challenges, this husband-wife team delivered bouquets and centerpieces that exceeded our expectations. I’d highly recommend this pair. They’re fabulous (and fun to work with).

We wanted a very particular, modern aesthetic and specific color pallet for our floral design, but Tim and Jennifer are incredible artists with exceptional eyes for design. When we first met him, Tim made it clear immediately that, more than any other florist we had spoken to, he had a near-perfect understanding of the unique looked we wanted. He even made suggestions for how to cut costs while still achieving the look we wanted. Tim and Jennifer made imaginative choices for the flowers and greenery and found us gorgeous plants that we never would have thought of on our own. The centerpieces were lush and beautiful and made our long rectangular tables feel full and inviting. The bride’s bouquet was especially impressive: She wanted a large asymmetrical arrangement with an unusual style, and Tim and Jennifer produced a massive masterpiece unlike anything we had ever seen. It honestly looked like flowers from another planet! That’s just our particular taste, but if Tim and Jennifer can produce that, they can surely handle any type of arrangements from the most traditional to something completely unconventional. Our wedding was held in a repurposed factory space, but using garlands on the stairs, arrangements around the welcome sign and seating chart, and other strategically placed decorations, Tim and Jennifer made what could have been a bare and uninviting space into someplace warm and welcoming. We should mention that our contract stated that, for an additional fee, Tim and Jennifer would donate the centerpieces after the event. I guess we never said explicitly that we want them to so, because we were vary surprised to learn that they weren’t coming back to pick up the flowers at the end of the night. So make sure you all agree on what will be done with the arrangements afterwards.

My husband and I got married on July 13, 2019 at the Village Club at Lake Success.I wanted our wedding to be decorated with wildflowers with an elegant twist. Although the wedding was on Long Island, I knew that I needed to speak with Tim an Jennifer from Tiger Lily and Encke Flowers in my home town, Teaneck, NJ. From the moment that I explained my vision to Tim and Jennifer, I knew that they would make my vision a reality. The sample flowers that they showed us a few weeks before the wedding were gorgeous, but the flowers on the day of the wedding were even more magnificent. They picked flowers that held up in the heat and lasted a week after the wedding. Their attention to detail was exceptional. They placed each flower by hand while constructing the chuppah. They even had someone stay at the venue to collect the rented items at the end of the night. I have gotten so many complements about the flowers. I highly recommend Tiger Lily and Encke Flowers for all events, especially weddings.

Tiger Lily was the second time my family chose them as our florist for our wedding, knowing how their quality of work was previously this was a no brainer for us. Tim and Jennifer are true artists, they had everyone floored with their masterpieces setting the tone for our wedding. Tim and Jennifer are undeniably creative; we got married on New Years Eve having a Gatsby theme, they put together a clock mural for our table, centerpieces that were bold yet elegant, and the bouquet for myself and the bridesmaids were stunning, adding feathers in that proved their attention to detail. The best part is, Tim will have you laughing throughout the entire process. Weddings are stressful, Tim quickly makes you realize how fun this all is! Tiger Lily is our forever florist, and should be yours too!

My husband and I were beyond thrilled with Tim and Jennifer's gorgeous florals for our November 2017 wedding at Factory 220 in Passaic, NJ. I was a fairly nontraditional bride with a strong vision of my wedding aesthetic, and Tim and Jennifer did an amazing job of interpreting that vision and bringing it to life. They sourced flowers and plants from far and wide to work with our mustard yellow and olive green theme colors, and our desire to utilize succulents and other unusual-looking items in our arrangements. Throughout the process they were kind, calm, reliable, and hard-working, and we truly felt they went above and beyond the call of duty to make the florals for our big day everything we were hoping for and more. We would highly recommend them to anyone, and would certainly use them again!

I am so over joyed with the amazing work of both Tim and Jennifer of Tiger Lily By Encke Florist. Tim was so helpful, fun and had very creative ideas. Both of them truly created what we envisioned for both our ceremony and reception flowers. We knew right away that we wanted to work with them. Every suggestion I loved. I wanted to have our table centerpieces to have a very personal touch, so my husband and I saved all of our bottles of wine that we received as gifts from our engagement party and from other friends and family. My bridesmaids and I did some DIY and frosted and flocked the bottles to look like snow (We had a Winter Theme) . Tim and Jennifer used these bottles as the Vases and created a spectacular center piece. Seeing the first sample brought tears to my eyes. When I walked into the reception Ball room with my husband, We were both over joyed. It was exactly what we wanted. Tim also created a Masterpiece for our ceremony. On either side of us stood 6 ft birch and willow branches, with accents of White Dendrobium orchids, that completely surrounded us. I will definitely use Tiger Lily again in the future.

Wow. I don't think I could be happier with my flowers from Tiger Lily by Encke. Tim is the sweetest. His smile, positivity, and immediate clear understanding of what I wanted for my wedding made me book their services for my 150 person event. After showing him a few pictures from Pinterest, sharing a few likes and dislikes, Tim's creativity sprung to life. He described a gorgeous pair of branches with dripping flowers for our ceremony, centerpieces that were original and indicative of my personality, and bouquets that gracefully enhanced everything. I don't know much about flowers, but Tim pulled out books of pictures of different blooms to show what he was describing. His knowledge of the venue (Maritime Parc) was a huge help. Tim's wife and partner brought his designs to life in an even more perfect way than imagined. And, after a request to make one small change (literally 1 - to remove a small amount of long green grass - no idea what it's called - change), she came through and somehow made the final centerpieces more beautiful than the sample. What really set this duo apart was that they stayed at the venue to move and reset the centerpieces behind our sweetheart table. Something they easily could have had the venue do, but they did it themselves to ensure it was perfect. It was. On top of all of this, Tim made tweaks to his original design to stick to my budget. To note - his original pricing wasn't too far off. I would recommend this florist a million times over and would use them again in a heartbeat.

I highly recommend Tiger Lily florist in Teaneck, NJ for wedding flowers. Their designs are beautiful and the choice of flowers unique. The owner, Tim, listens carefully to what you are requesting and provides the flowers and designs that you want.

We only used Tiger Lily for our bouquets, boutonnieres and flowers for the arch. I will say we were very particular with them and only wanted to spend a certain amount of money but, they worked with us and the flowers turned out very pretty. Gayla was great to work with even though we questioned everything, she worked with us and did what we wanted and gave us suggestions. They did a great job with the flowers on the arch too.

From the moment I met Tim Blunk at Tiger Lily, I knew he was the perfect florist for our wedding. Every meeting with Tim was fun and exciting, and his relaxed yet professional demeanor made him a great vendor to work with. With an MFA, Tim is truly an artist and his creativity, attention to detail and floral quality exceeded all our dreams and expectations. I came in with a picture of an inspiration bouquet and a vision of the day, and Tim (& Jennifer) transformed this vision into reality. He designed an ethereal chuppah, gorgeous bridal and bridal party bouquets/ groomsmen boutonnieres, amazing, unique centerpieces and even went above and beyond by putting together lovely escort card table. It is hard to put into words how beautiful the flowers were, and how much we loved working with Tim and Tiger Lily Weddings. If you are a bride looking for a true artist to take an idea and vision of your day and transform it, Tim and Tiger Lily Weddings is for you. My family and I are so grateful and thankful for all he contributed to our wedding. HIGHLY recommend!!

From my first call with Tim at Tiger Lily, I just knew that I had found my florist. I'm sure many would agree that it feels great when you have that strong gut feeling that this is a good decision! He didn't disappoint...quite the opposite. He was a master and a co-creator of the final results. I went to Tim with a concept and ideas on what i was looking for...i sent him images of the venue so he could get a feel for it himself and then he helped me set up a magical ambiance for our magical night. He stuck to my budget, he came up with creative ideas, he personally delivered and set up the flowers himself without me having to be there, he made me laugh and allowed me to breeze through things totally stress free and happy. I sincerely, highly recommend Tiger Lily as part of your wedding experience...they're just amazing!

We highly recommend Tiger Weddings for any couple looking for a florist who is keen on making your wedding day look perfect. We met with Tim for a consultation and he knew exactly the theme we were going for. His flower choices matched the colors we wanted and he helped put us at ease throughout the whole process. He worked within our budget and the wedding pictures came out perfect. Tiger Weddings went the extra mile in setting up all the flowers on a rainy day and we couldn't be any happier with the results. Go visit their florist shop. You will not be disappointed!

We couldnt be more pleased with the arrangements, professionalism and creativity we were provided with. We gave them our color palette and some flower choices and let him go from there. The result was beautiful, unique, and artistic. Thank you Tiger Lily for making our day so special!

Tim and Tiger Lily/Tiger Weddings were so amazing and all of the flowers at/for our wedding reception were gorgeous. My husband and I had ideas for colors/color theme for the wedding but were open with actual flower types. Tim sat down with us and helped us choose flowers that fit our vision but would also work with each other and the hot weather in July. Also Tim was so helpful as he lead us through flower choices that fit the colors we were looking for and that were in season at the time (important to us for using local growers but Tim would have gotten us any flowers that we wanted). Any time I contacted Tim he got back to me ASAP, was helpful, and so nice to talk to. My bouquet and the bridesmaids were beautiful and the centerpieces were perfect for the tables and venue. Whatever style of flowers you are looking for – modest, elaborate, modern, classic, colorful or more neutral Tim and Tiger Lily/Tiger Weddings will do an amazing job.

I am so very thankful we had Gayla and Tiger Lily as our florist! She sat down with us multiple times over our 15 month planning process and as our vision evolved, she helped us select gorgeous floral combinations to accent our vision. Gayla took extensive notes during our meetings, showed us examples of everything, and sent promptly sent us an annotated spreadsheet with cost breakdowns, even as we made slight changes at each meeting. It made keeping track of everything so much easier! I absolutely love wedding florals, and it is one of the details I feel is centrally important to setting the mood of the day. When I saw our florals on the day of, I was completely blown away - everything exceeded my expectations!!! I still cannot stop looking at photos of our bouquets and the arrangements Tiger Lily created. Our florals were definitely a show stopper! As a side note, I could not believe that when my husband and I returned from our honeymoon two weeks later, there were still several vases of fresh flowers remaining from our wedding. So lovely.

We LOVED Tim and we LOVED the floral arrangements! My parents, fiance and I went to a bridal arrangement warehouse that shall not be named and the result was a nap for the fiance. Later that day Mom, Fiance and I walked into Tiger Lily to meet Tim, who engaged and won over the fiance with his passion and flip book encyclopedia of flowers. From that initial meeting, we knew that we would work with Tim and were sure that he would be our favorite wedding vendor! Tim is an artist who really grasped the whole concept we were trying to explain to him. I really appreciated that he worked with us to get our favorite flowers and achieved the look we were going for, but also pushed back if we had an idea that he didn't think would look best. It is amazing how well he executed the ideas that were in my head after only a short meeting. The flowers were of exceptional quality. They looked absolutely fabulous throughout the event and filled my mothers house for a while. I was so in love with the flowers - over 14 varieties! That my mom spent a day perserving them in various ways while I was away on my honeymoon. Thank You Tim!

I used Tiger Lily for my wedding and couldn't have been happier. From start to finish Tim was easy and fun to work with. He loves what he does and it shows in his work. Not only was it great working with Tim but the flowers were beautiful. I would highly recommend Tiger Lily!!!!

Tim and Jennifer were absolutely a pleasure to share our day with. They were professional and fun. Preparing for a wedding can be difficult but they made this process a breeze. The confidence they provided helped us to feel at ease and we knew we had made the right decision. They are great designers and their excellent attention to detail will always be appreciated.

Tim and his team are great. My flowers were beautiful. They are patient and willing to help you develop your ideas. I was so happy with the results. They took all my suggestions, ideas and made it work! Not one complaint. My family and I LOVED my flowers.

Easy going and wonderful experience from start to finish. Tim really took care of us, prompt with getting back to us with answers to questions, worked with us on our budget. We went in with pictures and ideas of what we would like and we were not disappointed, in fact, it was better than what we hoped for! We had flowers for our ceremony and our reception. Everything they did for us was amazing and we could not have asked for anything more!

Tim was a pleasure to work with. I know very little about flowers and only had a slight idea about what I wanted. After explaining to him the setting of the wedding and giving him a color scheme to work with, Tim was able to come up with something better than I could have every imagined. The bouquets were gorgeous and unlike anything I've ever seen before. I had also asked him to decorate the cake with some flowers, again with minimal instruction, and it came out gorgeous! I had also requested a simple arch for the wedding ceremony on the beach, and again my expectations were exceeded. I highly recommend Tiger Lily by Encke. They are very knowledgeable and artistic with everything they do.

I got married in NYC last year and picked this vendor by simply doing a google search for a florist in my area...I'm so happy I found them! Tim and Jen were super creative, hands-on and sweet. I was blown away when I walked into my venue; all their work was above and beyond what I had expected or imagined. Their work was impeccable and I look forward to working with them again on future events!

Tim was an absolute pleasure to deal with from the very beginning. He is amiable and quick to respond; more importantly, though we weren’t 100% certain what we wanted for our arrangements, he made us feel very comfortable that he knew what we were going for (ahem, a Cornell-red theme) and delivered beautifully. Tim was so helpful in our conversations, entertaining our ideas and offering his own – all while staying aware of our price point. The one thing I knew I absolutely wanted was red callas for my bouquet and finding them seemed bleak at first but they found them and I could not have been happier with our bouquets! Our altar arrangements were lovely for the church (albeit a bit lost because we forgot about the pre-existing Easter decorations) but they doubled perfectly as decoration for our head table. Our submerged orchid centerpieces were exactly what we wanted and filled the space wonderfully (our venue space was a bit larger for our guest count) and Tim introduced a great unique factor, bringing artistic coil and smaller flowers to the outside of the tall vase atop a round mirror. To top things off, Tim sent a card with a kind note (it had callas on the front) – it was the perfect testament to how thoughtful he had been through the whole process. We’d recommend Tim and Tiger Lily to any couple looking for a little bit of comfort amid the craziness (and fun!) that is planning a wedding.

I have had a wonderful experience with Tiger Lily. I highly recommed them to anyone who is looking for beautiful quality flowers at a reasonable cost.
