Reviews for Bride & Blossom ~ bridal flowers exclusive
GUEST




Rachel and her team were extremely professional and also made us feel very unique. We worked out all the floral concepts together and truly allowed it to be a collaborative, on-going creative process. The attention to detail was phenomenal and we received so many wonderful compliments from our guests on the decor. I would happily recommend Bride & Blossom to any bride.
GUEST




I dont think I can thank Rachel and team enough for helping make our day so special an memorable! From the first day that we started working together, B&B have been extremely professional, mindful of the budget, very flexible (i was making changes to my flowers areangements up until last week!), very patient and accomodative, and most importantly paid attention to every last small detail. The flowers came out stunning and looking very fresh and exactly what I wanted! B&B made themselves available at any time I had any question, email, via phone any time of day/week, and in person - you just do not get better customer service with any other floral company. Pricing is by far the most competitive in NY state for the quality and attention you get.

Bride & Blossom was a pleasure to work with! Rachel took our vision...and our budget...and made it happen! From the first meeting to the wedding day, she was there for us. The level of professionalism was outstanding and the flowers were of the finest quality.
GUEST




I could not have been happier with the flower design for my wedding ceremony and reception! The brought to life the picture I had in my mind. Every time I see someone who attended the wedding they rave about the flowers.
My entire experience with Rachel and her team was positive. They took time to meet with me in person and they delivered a detailed plan. That sounds simple enough, but several vendors that I met with acted as if this was a foreign concept. When I made changes after the initial meeting everyone was very responsive either with e-mail or phone calls. I had a demo done of my centerpiece, which went well but I did require changes, on my wedding day I saw the final product and I was blown away. The flowers transformed my ceremony and reception venues.
My flowers at the ceremony were so well received by the church that they asked my meeting planner for contact information for BFE. They also brought extra flowers for corsages and boutonnières.
I also want to say that the team was friendly and kind to me. This is most important when you are dealing with multiple vendors and crazy family. At no time did I feel like just another customer. Thank you so much to BFE for delivering a professional, quality, and creative service. I'm so lucky to have worked with you!!

Bridal Flowers Exclusive provided the most AMAZING, GORGEOUS flowers! The centerpieces were to die for, as were the bouquets and cocktail hour flowers. I could not have asked for anything better! I received so many compliments on the flowers! They were great to work with - very responsive and willing to listen to your ideas. I would highly recommend them! =)
GUEST




THE ABSOLUTE MOST AMAZING FLOWERS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!!!! IF I COULD HAVE RATED THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE HIGHER, I WOULD HAVE. THE PROCESS WAS SO EASY. RACHEL WAS THE MOST AMAZING PERSON. ALWAYS GOT BACK TO ME SO QUICK, MADE LAST MINUTE CHANGES AND EVEN WENT AS FAR AS HAVING HER HUSBAND DELIVER MY FLOWERS TO MY MOTHERS HOUSE FOR LAST MINUTE PICTURES. NOW THAT IS SERVICE AT ITS FINEST!!! MY GUESTS ARE STILL RAVING ABOUT HOW PRETTY AND FULL AND ALIVE THE FLOWERS WERE. AND THE COLORS WERE EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED. I DONT KNOW WHY A BRIDE WOULD GO ANYWHERE BUT BRIDAL FLOWER EXCULSIVES!!!!
GUEST




Bridal Flowers Exclusive was GREAT to work with. They made my flowers exactly how I wanted them. Rachel edited my proposal numerous times until we created floral arrangements I was happy with. They were extremely flexible as well. We had to cancel our wedding due to Hurricane Irene and reschedule for the following Friday. Even though they had 2 other weddings that day, they still created my flowers exactly how I imaged and got everything done on time. I can't thank them enough for helping to create a perfect wedding!
GUEST




Rachel and her team are extremely professional, responsive and easy to work with. They really listened to all of our needs and wants and delivered exactly what we asked for. We met with many different florists and when we met Rachel, we knew she would be able to provide us with the modern, sophisticated and elegant look that we were going for within our budget. Our flowers were absolutely stunning and we received many compliments on the arrangements, the bouquets and even the boutonnieres!
GUEST




Nothing but fantastic things to say about Bridal Flowers Exclusive!! From the people to the product, I was more than pleased every step of the way. I am so happy I chose to work with Bridal Flowers Exclusive. I was able to have so much more flowers presence at my wedding than I\'d ever imagined because of the great savings they provide. My wedding flowers made the entire decor and theme come together seamlessly. \r\nMy best friend is next to get married, and she will be using Bridal Flowers Exclusive as well (and I\'m sure it will go on from there).\r\n
GUEST




It was such a pleasure working with Rachel and her entire team! They helped make this part of the wedding a dream and they made my vision, which I was not too clear on at first, bloom and come to life. Rachel had the perfect suggestions and even if there was something that didn't fit, we came to another solution together. Everyone commented on how beautiful and fresh the flowers were. The flowers made the ceremony, cocktail and reception come to life! It amazed me how affordable everything was! Towards the end there were a lot of changes but it didn't affect the price as much as I thought and that was great. Rachel will give suggestions on what is beautiful AND affordable. She knows what she is doing. I would recommend Bridal Flowers Exclusive to everyone!
GUEST




Rachel was a true delight to work with. She is committed to service excellence and cares about her product and her clients. She was super flexible with all the last minute changes we had to make. Our budget was not the biggest and Rachel and her staff were able to provide quality service and products at a very affordable price. The end result was amazing! Rachel and her team did an amazing job. Special thanks to Dayna for all your help. I would definitely recommend Bridal Flowers exclusive!
GUEST




Bridal flower divas was amazing and everything at my wedding looked beautiful i knew i didnt have to worry about it. Great Job!
GUEST




Utterly beautiful is the best way I can describe the centerpieces and bouquets. It's fabulous having a vendor who will work with your budget and give you ideas that may have otherwise not have crossed your mind.
Prompt, professional and I will definitely pass along their information to anyone looking.
Thank you for making it special! :)
GUEST




Rachel was absolutely my favorite vendor to work with throughout my wedding planning process. She was always responsive, professional and not to mention the nicest person to work with. My flowers were absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I received so many compliments on my centerpieces and bouquets. They are the BEST, BEST, BEST, don't even hesitate just move forward. No Rachel did not pay me to write this, this is a genuine review of how great the service and product is.
GUEST




It is not always easy to find a vendor that understands your vision it’s even harder when you are a vendor that also works with flowers. Bridal Flowers Exclusive was amazing to work with! I was happy and my client was happy. I look forward to our next wedding or event together!

GUEST

Thank you
GUEST




I booked with Bridal Flowers Exclusive about 1 year before my wedding, and really had no idea where I wanted to go with my flowers. Rachel was beyond accommodating, came with me to my venue and inthe end, created a floralscape that was beyond what I ever could have dreamed for my wedding. I was in love with my wedding flowers, and my guests were fighing over who could take the centerpieces home. As an event planner by trade, I definitely recommend Bridal Flowers Exclusive! Thank you!
GUEST




Rachel and her team were a true pleasure to work with! I wanted flowers to be a big part of my wedding but had a limited budget to work with. Bridal Flowers Exclusive provided me with exactly what I wanted and even surpassed expectations. The flowers were stunning and even our guests were coming up to me commenting how spectacular they were. Every email/phone call was followed up with right away and all flowers were delivered on time and within budget. I met with Rachel at my wedding venue and knew exactly what I wanted, she took the colors and everything we discussed into consideration and even came up with new ideas that I absolutely loved. I can't recommend Bridal Flowers Exclusive enough!
GUEST




I cannot say enough about the work these ladies do. I had a vision of my centerpieces and bouquet for years, and pictures to go with it. They met and exceeded my expectations, providing the most beautiful centerpieces at a fraction of what they would cost elsewhere. Moreover, Rachel is incredibly responsive and soooo unbelievably nice. They did an incredible job and I would never ever use anyone else. They also did my sister's wedding (also an amazing job). And they never say no--tell them what you want, and your budget, and they'll make it happen. Thank you SOOOOO much Rachel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GUEST




Very warmly welcomed here by the ladies. These ladies were awesome they greeted me like a royal prince. The had the right selection of flowers I needed.
GUEST




These ladies are amazing! So sweet, so beautiful and really wonderful work. I wanted a really funky but simple colorful centerpiece to go with an all out Indian inspired wedding theme. And they did it with style and finesse! I would recommend them to everyone. My sister is so impressed that she will be using them this following summer!
GUEST




It was a pleasure to work with Rachel of Bridal Flower Divas. The flowers looked amazing!! Everybody loved them!! I would recommend this company to anybody I know that is planning a wedding!!!!!!!!!!
GUEST




Bridal Flower Divas did my wedding flowers for May 2010. Everything turned out beautiful. While planning, Rachel got back to me always within a day or less, my last minute changes were no trouble, and we didn't pay as much as I thought for 11 bouquets, 14 boutonnieres, 18 centerpieces, etc. which fully consisted of calla lillies and orchids. The girls worked really hard on the day to make my vision for my flowers a reality. Everyone loved the centerpieces and Rachel got me a really good deal on the vases, all of which I bought to give away for Mother's Day. I highly recomment Bridal Flower Divas for their work, the prices, and for the professionalism. Thanks again girls.
GUEST




Bridal flower divas did my flowers for my January 2010 wedding. The centerpieces and bouquets were STUNNING. Rachel and I shared the same vision for how my flowers should be, it was wonderful working with her. She always got back to me right away, and accommodated even the last minute changes. Many of my friends are recently engaged and I will absolutely be recommending Bridal Flower Divas to them. I am thankful for such beautiful, stylish, and elegant work- I received many compliments.
GUEST




Bridal flower divas were GREAT! When I started planning my wedding flowers were really the last thing on my mind. I met with Rachel and she turned that around right away! By the time she left I was so excited for my flowers I couldn't even believe it! She met me and my mother in law at our home in LI since that was more convinient for us. Rachel and her partner Faina also met me at my venu for a walk through to help us all better envision what we would see that day. Every phone call e-mail and change I had was answered right away always with great advice! Their prices were also wonderful, I know someone in the flower business and asked for comparason, she was surprised at how good the price was that I was getting. My centerpieces and bouquets were lovely. I got a great price, great service & beautiful flowers and decor!!
GUEST




Couldn’t Be Happier!!!
Bridal Flowers Exclusive did a spectacular job on the flowers for my wedding! The bridal bouquet, table arrangments and even the flowergirl bouquet balls were just gorgeous! From the planning stage to the "big day", Rachel was so helpful and attentive - I just knew we were on the same page! She personally helped me select the flowers that would compliment my gown and the wedding venue -- and it all came together beautifully! I was absolutely thrilled with my flowers and received tons of compliments from my guests. And to top it off, the price was so reasonable! I know I would have paid a lot more with another vendor. The personal attention and value was simply outstanding! I recommend Bridal Flowers Exclusive to everyone!
GUEST




The most gorgeous flowers I had ever seen. They really listened to what we wanted and most importantly delivered it!
GUEST




Bridal Flowers Exclusive provided us with beautiful flowers that had the whole wedding talking. The flowers were much larger and more vibrant than we ever expected and Rachel and her team were always on hand to answer any questions or concerns. Everything was truly amazing!

GUEST




Our wedding flowers were everything we wanted and much more beautiful than we could have imagined. The flowers were fresh and Bridal Flower Divas went out of their way to be flexible. It's definitely a 5 Star business. I would recommend them to any bride who wants to know she is getting the best and at the best possible price. Mariann
GUEST




Rachel did a fantastic job on our wedding flowers. The chuppah was the most beautiful I have ever seen. She was able to "get" our style and create arrangements that suited our wedding perfectly.
GUEST




I have to say that working with Rachel Trimarco and Bridal Flowers Exclusive was an absolute pleasure. Rachel made the entire process of selecting flowers for my wedding extremely easy and enjoyable. When I first contacted Rachel she let me know upfront that she was going to be going out on maternity leave for a few months, but trust me that did not affect the quality of service that I received at all. Rachel was extremely responsive at all times (even when she went out on leave). She always returned my e-mails and calls within the same day and provided great assistance.
I sent Rachel a basic idea of what I wanted for my bouquets and centerpieces and she brought my ideas to life. She gave me great additional ideas and everyone at my wedding continuously complimented the beautiful flowers.
When I needed to add additional centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres, Rachel helped me to still stay within my budget. Bridal Flowers Exclusive (especially Rachel) is a truly professional company and I will definitely recommend them to all of my family and friends.
GUEST




Very enthusiastic and in tune with my visions and expectations! I had a large wedding on a limited budget and they were so helpful and able to create exactly what I wanted and stay within my means.
GUEST




The flowers provided just the right touch to a beautiful reception hall. Just come with some ideas and Rachel will take care of the rest!
GUEST




Bridal Flower Divas is a great wedding florist vendor. Rachel is extremely responsive- she would respond to my emails almost immediately. She has a pulse on the current flower trends and keeps things modern (I was strictly opposed to baby's breath and greenery). Using their service, you will be able to get high quality flowers at a reasonable cost. Using them was one of the easiest parts of wedding planning. As months past and thewedding grew near, I was able to add or change details very easily with Rachel. Using them is a simple, quality solution to wedding flowers.
GUEST




Bridal Flower Divas really provided a personal touch to planning the flowers for my bridal party. They were warm and open to my ideas and accomodated changes I made as the months went along. I felt comfortable dealing with them and as if they were truly excited about my wedding.
GUEST




The flowers and decorations were very beautiful and what I had imagined and we were very happy with them. Rachel and her team were very responsive and professional and I knew I could rely on them. One thing you should note is that they have a $3,000 minimum and you can have issues if the cost of your arrangements is below that.
GUEST




The flowers were beautiful, and the people who came to set them up waited patiently while it was determined whether the wedding could be outdoors or not. Overall, not a bargain, but they did a nice job.
GUEST




Leading up to my wedding, I would've said that this was one of my best vendors.
I realize that the rate and presentation of the flowers are entirely dependent on the batch they get wholesale and that what I was quoted could be subject to change. An hour before I was going into my rehearsal dinner I was notified that the flowers I had specified for the boutennieres were a bit less than desirable. At least I was given a head's up when I saw that they were limp and browning the next day.
Meanwhile, throughout the entire proposal process I had specified that my bouquet should be a different color than that of my bridesmaids.
While all the flowers were healthy and in a nice presentation, I was definitely not pleased when not only were all the flowers the same color, but I hadn't even been given a head's up.
Overall a disappointing experience.
I would say that unless you don't mind surprises on your big day, I would triple check everything if you choose this vendor.
Vendor response to review
We clearly state on our contract that flowers are subject to substitution at BFE's discretion. However, as a courtesy to our clients we always alert them of any issues as soon as possible. Flowers are part of nature and sometimes there are acts of God which prohibit us from receiving what we had ordered or sometimes flowers we've ordered are effected by weather, handling etc...We let this bride know as soon as possible of the potential issue (albeit the night before her wedding since all of our flowers are fresh and designed the day before our weddings). We ended up running around and found the identical flower to replace the ones that weren't holding up and the flowers she received were in perfect condition as pictures can attest to. Everyone on site at her venue raved about the flowers and the venue coordinator wanted to even recommend us to future brides!
Regarding her bouquets she wanted different shades of yellow for hers and the bridesmaids. Her bouquet had completely different flowers and shades and stood out from the bridesmaids. She was sent images of each flower that we were using in advance and approved the shades used.
We gave this bride a great price and were extremely responsive and flexible to her needs and changes every step of the way. Her centerpieces were stunning and vibrant and were the talk of the venue during the setup.
I think that this bride was overall disatisfied with her wedding day and unfortunately, displacing blame. I can say with confidence that our team did a great job and she received high quality and beautiful flowers as outlined on her proposal.
As a matter of fact, this wedding was featured on stylemepretty.com and you can view the beautiful flowers and the brides comments about her wedding there. http://www.stylemepretty.com/new-york-weddings/2011/09/26/the-garrison-wedding-by-ulysses-photography/.
GUEST




Very disappointed on the day of, the centerpiece was not what we expected, it was half the size, the alter was not even decorated, 2 tiny bunches of roses, the junior bridesmaids pomadora was so heavy they could not carry it at all. the corsages seem like buttonaires. in the beginning we were all very confident and had high expectations from this florist but she didn't follow thru.
Before Christina wedding on April 3rd I recommend Bridal Flower Divas to everyone I know but after seeing the finish product I regret using this florist, would not recommed.
Vendor response to review
This client wanted much more than she had the budget to pay for. We came in under other florists by thousands. She got everything that was listed on her proposal and that she contracted for down to the flower count. For her centerpieces, she asked for exactly 120 roses in each and that is exactly what she received. For her pomanders,she asked for all roses which are normally heavier than what is typically used in pomanders like carnations or mums because of the weight. For her corsages, they had 2 roses in each along with crystals which was exactly what she asked for. For her ceremony, she asked for bouquet like structures of roses on her arch and that's exactly what she got. EVERYONE in the venue who saw the arrangements absolutely loved them. Unfortunately, some brides can never be pleased and this was one of them.
Rachel and her team at Bridal Flowers Exclusive are amazing! She is not a vendor she is family and I feel like her team is my team. She does amazing work and understands the needs of the client as well the limitations or issues of a venue. If you're wedding is big or small do not hesitate to call Bridal Exclusive for your flowers. You will NOT be disappointed!!
Bridal Flower Exclusive is very professional and understands a great deal about the flower industry. Bridal Flower Exclusive is a must have for any bride and bridal party.

FAQ for Bride & Blossom ~ bridal flowers exclusive
Choosing your flowers is one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning. To get you started, we've put together a list of what you need to know about your wedding-day arrangements.
1. Establish a Vision
Have a general idea about your taste. Are you a true minimalist? Or are you looking to do an uber-romantic Gatsby-style wedding? Create a file of magazine tear-outs and ideas you find online. That will give us a clear idea of your loves and love-nots. And don't forget shots from friends' weddings. Maybe you flipped over the centerpieces, but hated the bouquets. Now's the time to bring it up (to us, of course, and not your friend).
2. Consider Your Site Specifics
This is a biggie. Think of your reception site as a blank canvas on which we will create your masterpiece. Is there bright red wallpaper? Is it a botanical garden that won't need much floral accent? Or are you starting with a clean, empty loft that will need lots of work? After our initial consultation we will accompany you to the venue to get an idea of its size and style.
3. Create a Colorful Concept
Before you even start thinking about flowers, decide what your bridesmaids, groomsmen, and moms are wearing. You won’t know what flowers to pick if you don't know what colors will work. First tackle the attire, then choose your ideal color palette and make a list of your favorite flowers, and then we will work with you to create your unique flower scheme.
4. Make the Flowers Work
At this point, you should have already picked out or know the style of your bridal gown, seeing as that will dictate what kind of bouquet you should carry. In making our suggestions, a bride's gown is a big factor -- how ornate it is, whether it's white or cream, if it's classic or contemporary, and so on. We think of the gown and bride of course as the centerpiece of the day, so this will give you a good idea of where you're going with the wedding style.
5. Map Out Your Wedding Style
Your style is different than your vision. Are you looking to carry a very dramatic, long bunch of flowers or a tight posy of blooms instead? How about the other people in your wedding party: Should Mom wear a corsage or carry a nosegay? Should the bridesmaids carry a single stem or a full bouquet? Style will also affect price accordingly, as well as the choice of flowers that will or won't work in the type of bouquet you're eyeing.
6. Size it Up
Don't listen to your groom -- size does matter! How many guests are you planning to have at your wedding? That number will determine how many tables and, consequently, how many centerpieces you'll require. How many attendants will you have to outfit with flowers: groomsmen, bridesmaids, flower girls? This will dramatically impact the price. On the other hand, if you are requiring fewer than average centerpieces, you may be able to get those orchids that you swore you couldn't live without.
