Bride & Blossom — Local services in New York

Rachel and her entire team are incredible, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding florist! Rachel was the second florist I sat down with, and my fiancé and I knew we were done looking from the first visit. I didn't really have a vision at first, and Rachel was so patient and professional, going over every option with me. She understood what I was talking about, and it always felt like we were on the same page. Rachel also knew our budget from the beginning, and stuck within our budget when sending us a proposal (whereas the first florist we visited sent us a proposal around $5,000 over our initial budget). Fast forward to the preview of our flowers, Eliana was just wonderful. My vision had changed from our first meeting with Rachel, and Eliana was great at modifying the flowers to make them exactly as I now pictured. When I went back for a second preview, everything was absolutely perfect, and every new detail we discussed was included. I must have spoken to Rachel and Eliana about 100 times between the first and second floral preview, and they were so attentive and quick to respond throughout every phone call or email. I can't imagine other florists giving the level of attention and care they provide. I walked into the reception room at my wedding and was in awe of the magnificent job they had done. Everything was absolutely perfect. I still can’t stop talking about my chuppah, or looking at pictures of it. It was everything I could have dreamed of and more. I also had no idea Eliana would be there the day of my wedding, which was an amazing surprise, because I felt so comfortable knowing she knew exactly the look I was going for and that she was who I had been working directly with. I really cannot recommend Bride &...

While planning our wedding, the thing that got us down the most was our disappointment in how poorly many of our vendors did their jobs- lazy communication and sloppy work. However, this was not at all the case with Bride & Blossom. They always responded to me at lightning speed with care and attention to detail. I appreciated that so much. They were very willing to work within my budget. I came to them with very few ideas about my general vision, and I did not even have "colors" picked out. They worked with me to create a palette and themes that would carry through the entire wedding. The day of the wedding, they were prompt, the flowers were all perfectly executed, and exceeded my wildest dreams. Many guests, my photographers, my bridal party, and friends who couldn't attend but saw pictures said that my bridal bouquet was the best one they had ever seen. It was incredible. The flowers they chose were gorgeous. They completely nailed the vision we arrived at together- they understood exactly what I wanted almost without me explaining it. The arrangements are modern and classy. Even with our minimalist approach, the ceremony and reception looked absolutely perfectly decorated. Rachel and Elianna were also completely open-minded and helpful with two pretty wacky projects I threw at them, and that really impressed me. Rachel and Elianna are also wonderful people who put me at ease instantaneously and treated me like a friend. It was so comforting to know that Bride & Blossom was handling the element of my wedding that I knew the least about. I would recommend them so highly to any bride, or anyone...

Deciding which floral designer to hire for our daughter’s wedding was a big decision. We had a very specific aesthetic that we were trying to create- elegant and timeless without being stuffy. The wedding was in December at The Yale Club in New York City. We met virtually with Rachel to begin the process. I have to admit, I am more of an “in person” than virtual type individual but Rachel made it easy. We talked through design ideas, floral preferences, budgets and floral likes and dislikes. Rachel came back with a very comprehensive and thorough proposal- with extensive mood board photos and detailed descriptions. Her proposal was very transparent as to what was going where and what each item would cost.

A mock-up floral trial was provided as part of our package and it really helped us tweak things before the big day. Rachel and her team were very well-versed in what was in stock, what would perform well and what would just not make the cut for a long day.

Rachel was on-site for the install and it went without a hitch. She had to contend with Christmas decorations and Club rules and did so with a smile.

The florals were incredible and the candles provided a beautiful glow. The proportions were just right for the room. Nothing was overbearing or ostentatious. The flowers were in excellent condition. We were thrilled.

We would hire Rachel again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her...
