Awarded Best of Zola
Where to even begin…Lisa and her staff at Central Florist went about and beyond for my December wedding in the Poconos. Even though the wedding was 3 hours away from the shop, she made sure every detail was perfect. From the first consultation to the day of the event, the professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were beyond our expectations. When we first went to the consultation, I wasn’t sure of what I was looking for, I just knew that I didn’t want the ordinary centerpiece. When given my color scheme and vibe for the wedding, Lisa created a gorgeous geometrical centerpiece that I have never seen before. She created a beautiful live flower wall for our Photo Booth backdrop as well. She not only handled our floral arrangements, but did our dessert table as well. Lisa and her staff seamlessly handled the distance and logistics, making everything feel effortless on our end. My guests are still talking about how beautiful the flowers were! If you are looking for a florist who makes you feel like her priority then look no further. Lisa at Central Florist is the one to choose and I will continue to use her for all future events.

Aster & Fir 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Albertson, NY

Our founder, Alexandra, left her corporate 9–5 job in search of something more fulfilling. When she ‘stopped & smelled the roses’, she fell in love with flowers. As the daughter of a carpenter, she has always appreciated creating something beautiful with her own hands. She loves capturing each client's unique ideas in her custom designs, bringing their special day to life with her arrangements. Alexandra lives in Astoria with her husband, John, and her cat, Piper, and she never met a rosé she didn’t like.

I knew that booking Alexandra and Aster & Fir was the right move from the moment I laid my eyes on centerpieces created for a friend's bridal shower! The unique floral choices and gorgeous color palette blew me away. I knew immediately that I HAD to have Alexandra and her team design my wedding florals. Working with Alexandra was so easy. She was very responsive and able to decipher my style and vision using the hodgepodge of images I kept adding to my Pinterest board. I knew I was going to love my florals, but nothing prepared me for the beautiful centerpieces, chuppah, and bouquets I recieved. I was blown away by the attention to detail and eye for such stunning flowers. My mother who is an avid gardener and flower snob was in awe of the floral arrangements. She was also moved by Alexandra’s thoughtfulness in adding touches of marigolds throughout centerpieces. I had forgotten to mention the cultural importance of marigolds for my family, but Alexandra had done her research and included them beautifully. It was such an amazing touch and just spoke volumes of how detail-oriented and thoughtful the team at Aster & Fir is. I also loved how flexible Alexandra was. I asked for some last-minute changes and wanted to reuse my florals for brunch the next morning and she was more than happy to accommodate my requests. Not only did I have stunning florals for my reception; but brunch was also transformed by Aster & fir’s stunning creations! Once I finally announced that guests could take home florals, people were scrambling to grab centerpieces and arrangements haha. I received so many compliments on Alexandra’s creations and can’t wait to request her for future parties and celebrations!!!

We are beyond grateful to the Roga team for creating such a meaningful and beautiful setting for our wedding. From our first conversation, their attention to detail and open communication gave us confidence that we were in the best hands. They understood our vision for the chuppah not only as a centerpiece, but as a sacred space under which we began our marriage. What they designed was beyond anything we could have imagined—elegant, heartfelt, and filled with the sense of holiness that a Jewish wedding deserves. Standing beneath the chuppah they created felt deeply spiritual, honoring tradition while reflecting our personal style. Every flower throughout the day carried that same care and intention, bringing warmth and beauty to our celebration. Their artistry, professionalism, and heart made our day unforgettable, and we will cherish their work forever.

Something Borrowed Blooms provided the most lifelike and luxurious floral arrangements for our wedding day. The bouquets, ceremony pieces and boutonnieres were all incredibly realistic and high quality, with vibrant colors and lush textures that exceeded our expectations. In fact, as my husband and I were taking photos in a park, a bee even tried to pollinate my bouquet, drawn to its beauty and realism. Getting the boxes to the venue did require a bit of coordination, but with a little help from friends we were able to easily box them up the day after the wedding and ship them off via FedEx. We saved easily 2,000 thanks to Something Borrowed and you would never know the flowers were fake.

We had the absolute pleasure working with Isabel for our Prospect Park Boathouse wedding. We knew from the start that florals were going to play a big role in our wedding, and we wanted a specific style as well. My planner recommended Isabel and going with her was the best decision. Isabel is incredibly friendly and professional, always available to give feedback and bounce ideas off of. I gave her my inspo board and she really, truly understood my vision. The mood boards she provides also helped me convey the wedding theme with other vendors as well. I'll never forget seeing my dreams come to life in front of my eyes on our wedding day.

From the very first email exchange to the final moments of our wedding day, Lorrie at Style & Vine exceeded every expectation we had. As a bride who values organization and attention to detail, I can confidently say that Lorrie is the essence of professionalism and artistry. Lorrie's communication throughout our 8-month planning process was exceptional. She was incredibly responsive, patient with our questions, and proactive in addressing potential challenges. When we needed to adjust our timeline from noon to 11:00 AM just weeks before the wedding, she graciously accommodated our request without hesitation. Working with our "white classic" theme, Lorrie created beautiful arrangements that perfectly captured our vision. Her centerpieces featuring white hydrangeas, roses, baby's breath, and stock were wonderful. The mix of large arrangements and bud vase clusters created beautiful dimension on our tables. The six chuppah arrangements on varying height pedestals were gorgeous and precisely what we had envisioned. Lorrie demonstrated remarkable flexibility when we made last-minute requests, including providing fresh flowers for our faux cake decoration at no additional cost. She suggested repurposing our chuppah arrangements for the sweetheart table, helping us stay within budget while maintaining the elegant aesthetic we wanted. Her ability to incorporate the bud vases and flameless votives we provided showed her collaborative spirit and creativity. On our wedding day, Lorrie arrived promptly and worked seamlessly with our wedding assistant. Her setup was flawless, and every arrangement was perfectly positioned. The personal flowers - including my bridal bouquet with white garden roses and dahlias, the matron of honor bouquet, boutonnieres, and corsages - were absolutely perfect and photo-ready for our morning family session. Lorrie provided detailed quotes, clear contracts, and transparent pricing throughout the process. She included complimentary votive candles and was upfront about all costs, with no surprise fees. Her pricing was fair for the exceptional quality and service provided. If you're looking for a florist who combines artistic talent with exceptional service, look no further than Lorrie and Style & Vine. She made our dream wedding décor a reality and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend her highly enough! Johanny & David The Juniper at Vanderbilt, Westbury, NY August 16, 2025

First of all - the end product was just beautiful. Everything from the bridal bouquet to the ceremony flowers to the table styling was exquisite and super unique. Shannon did a great job incorporating my favorite color (yellow) and a whimsical, organic wildness into the design exactly as I had hoped. From our first meeting to the written proposal, Shannon interpreted my thoughts and ideas exactly. I was so impressed that she took my ramblings and half ideas and pulled them together into what I was seeing in my head. Shannon’s GORGEOUS color palette informed the entire wedding design and gave me a jumping off point for invitations, bridesmaid dresses, other decor, etc. Unfortunately, the process of working with Shannon was a bit challenging. She struggled with nailing down details: incorrect number of tables, inconsistent accounting of candles/bud vases, etc. It took a number of incorrect proposal drafts until we got it right - just weeks before the wedding. We were honestly quite disappointed by Shannon’s flexibility and communication. She self-describes as being highly collaborative, but that was not our experience. First, as beer nerds, having hops in the design was super important to us, and while she flagged early on it could be an issue to source real ones, we discussed using fake. While we all agreed that she shouldn’t use fake hops if they looked bad, we were sad to see on the day of that they didn’t make it into the design. It would have been nice to have heard a heads up from her that she didn’t plan to use them - even if it was just a brief mention on the day-of. Second, when our cake plans fell through at the last minute, we asked Shannon if she could possibly supply a few flowers for our small 6” cutting cake. She told us she would try, but later we heard from the bakery that she had given them a flat no. She never communicated her decision to us. Thankfully, the bakery pulled something together for us (shout out to Zest Pastry!). Third, the Monday before the wedding, Shannon sent an alarming email with the subject line “Head Advisory, Oh No!”, asking us what our plan was. Getting any email titled “Oh No” isn’t fun to receive less than a week before your wedding. Further, as a trusted wedding vendor, we would hope that she would have plans for weather or unexpected events rather than looking to us during a very stressful period. Lastly, (and most disappointingly) despite having a run of day schedule, Shannon was nowhere to be found when it was time to put on boutonnieres and corsages. Our photographers and party thankfully jumped in to help to avoid major delays to portraits (shout out to Katie Slater!). Fundamentally, the product Shannon provided was beyond compare - everything was beautiful. That said, the communication, coordination, and organization were lacking from our experience.
