Omg where do I even begin??! Nicole is a master of her craft. I reached out in December 2022 for my May 5, 2024 wedding and I knew after our first phone call that she was the one I wanted designing my flowers and centerpieces. We instantly clicked and she knew exactly what I was envisioning and how to get us there. All throughout the process she kept me involved and was constantly making sure it’s what I wanted. Even though I knew what colors she was going with I was still left absolutely speechless when my bouquets were delivered to my hotel room the morning of. And when I walked into the venue and saw the centerpieces I was in awe. Like she blew it out of the water. Nicole is one of the most kind hearted, beautiful people I’ve met throughout my whole wedding planning process and even in my life and I’m beyond grateful for her. Thank you Nicole for making our wedding so special and memorable!!

Aster & Fir 

5.0

  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Plandome, 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.

We can't recommend Aster & Fir highly enough! From our first conversation with Alexandra, we knew we were in amazing hands. Alexandra has a unique style and understood our vision from day one. We had several special circumstances and she handled each with grace and an amazing collaborative attitude. During our walk through she helped us think through creative solutions and shared so many wonderful ideas for the event. Our guests have been raving about the florals -- from a truly beautiful chuppah that incorporated a family chuppah cover, to table arrangements that were vibrant and elegant, and so many other details throughout the night. The florals were a huge highlight of the night for us, and Alexandra's warmth made this the easiest part of our wedding planning process.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Using SBB was a great choice for our wedding - a fraction of the cost of fresh flowers, sustainable, and beautiful! We got centerpieces and some ceremony decor. Everything came boxed up safely and arrived like 5 days before the wedding. It was super easy for our coordinator to just take them out, fluff them up, and box them up again at the end of the night. I felt good renting not throwing away a bunch of stuff at the end. And again, the flowers were so beautiful!!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Lorrie, and we loved the flowers and decor she created for our wedding. We weren't the easiest clients, as we were quite indecisive at the beginning. We bounced between wanting a minimalist all-white look and introducing various colors since we didn't have a strict theme. Finally, just a month before the big day, we settled on a complex palette with several specific colors. Despite the late change, Lorrie was calm and professional. Her support was invaluable; she sent timely follow-ups and was a grounding presence when we were scrambling behind the scenes to figure everything else out. She took our final color decisions and matched exactly what we had envisioned in terms of the colors and the ratios of each shade. Beyond the centerpieces and bouquets, Lorrie also provided a chuppah in a beautiful copper base. When the final florals and decor arrived, they were stunning and truly brought our whole aesthetic together. If you're looking for a florist who is patient, a dream to work with, and incredibly talented at executing complex color requests and providing crucial support, hire Style & Vine!

Shannon and Three Roots were amazing to work with! You can see from the photos (By Jessie Barentsen) below how absolutely stunning our florals were on our day. Throughout the whole planning process Shannon was so easy to communicate with and always had very prompt, timely responses. She was able to take my thoughts and visions bring them together and to life. She was very detail oriented down to having me select ribbons and vessels for our bouquets and florals. She sourced the most beautiful candles and bud vases for us as well. We had some last minute cancellations and cut down 2 tables and she worked with us to reallocate what we had paid for those tables to florals elsewhere in the space to not lose out. On our day there was so much love and hugging the groomsmen boutonnieres were falling off before the ceremony and she made new ones for all of them and placed them on. I cannot recommend Shannon enough!

Vivian from Vivian Pang Floral Creative brought our floral dreams to life and then some. We wanted something romantic with a touch of whimsy and Afro-Caribbean influence, and she absolutely nailed it. My bouquet was stunning…a literal dream. The tablescapes were pure magic. What impressed me most was Vivian’s creative vision. She took time to really understand our vibe and worked seamlessly with our planner to design something that felt unique and deeply personal. The way she incorporated coconut shells and cocoa beans into the decor was such a thoughtful, unexpected touch that tied everything together beautifully. Every detail felt intentional and artful.

Choose one of our DIY flower kits or get a custom plan based on your colors, style, and budget.

The flowers (on our order) came in large boxes, but they were not labeled, so it took a minute to get the flowers both identified and properly set up. To be fair we were warned about the process, but not about the length of time due to our inexperience. As a note, it took my fiancé 5 hours to process the flowers when first receiving them. I also did not have any updates from them from the time I ordered till they were being shipped. They were beyond more affordable compared to other florists, and the flowers arrived alive and in good spirits. We were able to keep the flowers alive for over four days!! Many of the flowers that we chose did not have specific instructions, so we had to follow the general reference for the flowers and hope for the best. Additionally, some of the flowers that we wanted were not in stock, and they were replaced for us with substitutes but were not notified until we had all of the flowers already delivered to us. Also, as a note, bloom culture uses third party sellers for their flowers, so the quality may vary depending on location. Our flowers were in good condition, and the company we had clearly took good care of the flowers prior to delivering them to us. Would we do it again? Probably not, but it made for good laughs and bonding time and we have stories to tell from it!

Established in 2012, Edelweiss Floral Atelier found its home in the heart of Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. Over the past decade, we have designed weddings across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Long Island, and beyond.

Edelweiss was my local florist for over a decade and I was constantly amazed by their creativity, the wild range of incredible flowers, and impressive execution. So many important arrangements from my relationship came from them (with prompts like "creepy romance" and "over the top purple") so when we started planning our wedding, my partner and I dreamed of keeping that connection with Edelweiss. The reality that Eka and her brilliant team delivered was beyond our wildest hopes. Every element of the experience was magical and they completely understood and elevated our vision, bringing a lush, bright and unusual tropical flair to our "Caribbean hunting lodge" nuptials. I nearly cried when I saw my gigantic gorgeous bouquet, and all of the boutonnieres and incredible hairpieces they created were so unique. My guests fought over the centerpieces and as it snowed after our wedding day I got countless amazing photos of the bright blooms carrying the celebration forward. Edelweiss worked with our budget and delivered a transformative array of amazing floral pieces including a magnificent birch chuppah covered with fuchsia orchids, monstera leaves, anemones, you name it. I never thought of myself as a flower guy, and figured it could be a place for savings at our wedding - Edelweiss was the most incredible investment and went above and beyond to make the most elaborate, colorful decor that was truly unforgettable.
