CRESS FLORAL DECORATORS

Lori & Tom were AWESOME in many ways. Our wedding was an autumn theme. Lori & Tom was able to decorate the reception hall making it very classy and tasteful autumn feeling as oppose to going to a Thanksgiving dinner. They were willing to work with our budget and willing to accommodate any late changes we had. Michael & I were blown away with the flower arrangements from the centerpieces, the sweet heart table piece, the piano place cards centerpiece, ceremony floral arrangements and our bridal party floral pieces. Lori & Tom were able to incorporate a special fern piece with red ribbon that my Aunt had requested for us to wear with our boutonnieres on our wedding day. It is an Asian tradition. Tom had originally made a round centerpiece sample of what it will look like. Blown away. But realized our wedding tables for our guests were not round but rectangle. He suggested making rectangle shape centerpieces to compliment the shape of the table for our guests. Michael & I could not stop hearing the wonderful compliments ... Our wedding was an autumn theme.

Michael & I could not stop hearing the wonderful compliments from our guests throughout the night and after the wedding about the floral arrangements. Matter of fact, guests was fighting over to see who kept the centerpieces to bring home. Lori was able to offer great advice in decorating with the table and chair linens, sashes, all to compliment the colors of the centerpieces. When Michael & I walked in on our wedding day, we felt like walking into a dream. It was absolutely beautiful with all the floral arrangements and table linens, chair covers, sashes. Also, both of them suggested putting up cloth drapes in the ceremony room to give it a more warm cozy feeling. Initially, this was a business deal, but what Michael & I got out of this deal was two great friends. They were suppose to meet their son in California to go on vacation on Friday but realized they both wanted to be at our wedding day, Sunday, October 23. They decided to leave first thing Monday. Glad both of you were there to be part of it. Again, thanks so much Lori & Tom for making our wedding day a special one. Love, Jimmy & Michael ~ Port Washington, NY

Cress Floral did a SPECTACULAR job with the floral arrangements at my wedding that took place at Fifth Avenue Empire Penthouse in NYC. From the ceremony flowers at the church to the beautiful bouquets/bouitinnerres, to the unique and whimsical centerpieces at my reception (Tall Crystal Tree w/orchids for the escort card table, Willow Trees w/roses and crystals for the centerpieces, Tall and short gorgeous centerpieces to the sweetheart table. When my husband and I walked into the reception room, we were blown away with the whimsical and elegant atmosphere. Lori and Tom visited met me at the reception place and a few days later they invited me to the florist shop to show me examples of their creations. I fell in love with all their arrangements immediately. My guests and bridal party can't stop talking about how gorgeous everything was at our wedding. During the 10 month planning process, Lori and I would email each other almost everyday to share ideas. She would reply right away. I would like to thank Lori and Tom for doing such a fabulous job. I would highly recommend them for weddings and events! I'm going to truly miss wedding planning with Lori and Tom! I hope to hire them for my next event soon :)

Tom from Cress Floral was a pleasure to do business with. He worked with my tight budget and came through with amazing flowers for my wedding. I had a smaller budget but sure had a lot of demands and expectations but Tom was patient and explained what was in my budget and what was not. He also suggested alternatives that were similar to my wedding floral visions but in my budget. Overall a satisfied bride and so glad I went with Cress. Book an appointment with Tom and meet with him and you won't consider anyone else.

Lori and Tom were beyond amazing. They were helpful and professional. Their attention to detail is unmatched! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and we have them to thank! We still have people telling us how beautiful all the flowers and docorations were. You will be very satisfied with them I promise!

We got married at Bridewaters downtown. Cress Florist did our flowers and we absolutely loved them. Tom, the owner, was so helpful and creative! He made great suggestions and had ideas that I would never have thought of. Our centerpieces were so original, like no others I have ever seen before and my bouquet was even better than I pictured it. I LOVED LOVED LOVED it! The staff was also very helpful with making sure all the details were perfect on my special day.

We hired Cress Florists for our wedding at St. Bart's Church and reception at the Waldorf=Astoria. They did an absolutely BEAUTIFUL job and we were more than pleased! They have years of experience and knew exactly what to do! Their website can show you some of the most beautiful arrangements that I've ever seen! They are also some of the most friendly and warm people that I worked with throughout my wedding planning experience.

Cress Florist helped make my wedding day beautiful! They were professional and thoughtful with each meeting, even if last minute changes were made they were more than accommodating to each request. The staff is responsible and always eager to help. Even though my table arrangements were not over the top/large, the flowers were fresh, bright and perfect.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cress Florist and our wedding flowers! Tom and Lori were wonderful to work with, they are SO knowledgeable and professional, and they couldn't be nicer people. Our bouquets, church flowers, and center pieces were so beautiful and classic. When we first met with Tom, we weren't sure what we wanted, and he was so patient and made wonderful suggestions. Thank you all so much for making our wedding day so beautiful.
Love,
Dominique and David

I was so happy with their service. and would recommend everyone I know to use cress florist.
Thomas and Lori are truly amazing and so talented.
I have to say that I was a little nervous because I was getting married on Mother's Day weekend and florists are so busy and I really didn't want anything to be mixed up or forgotten on such a hectic weekend, but I couldn't have asked for fresher, prettier flowers!
There was one misunderstanding though about the delivery of the personal flowers. The guy that delivered went to my house when we were at the reception hall, but when he arrived to the reception hall he came with a smile on and was not mad at all which made me feel better because i felt so bad about the confusion.
And the price was great. I know wedding flowers can cost almost as much as the reception hall sometimes. Cress was so reasonable and the service was AMAZING!

Thank You!!!

I would recommend Cress Florists to every bride. Weddings are most probably the most special occasion in a woman's life. Lot of emotion, detail and expectation. The Cress Florist consultants provide superb service with magnificent design and taste. Lori and her team have the most extraordinary eye for detail; color, arrangements, uniqueness and more. Their designs are contemporary and truly gorgeous. Choosing Cress Florists is the best decision a bride can make.

I was so happy with the flowers for my wedding day. They were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned. Tom was so helpful and I could feel that he cared about my happiness. I didn't feel like just another customer as I did with other vendors involved in our wedding.
I would highly recommend Cress for your special day!

Cress Floral Decorators were great to work with. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good value on flowers for a NYC area wedding. We were able to stick to our budget and they made the most beautiful Chuppah we had ever seen - our guests are still talking about it.

I sent them a picture of the bridal bouquet that I wanted to carry and they made me exactly that - it was perfect.

They also provided beautiful aisle decor (white branches and candles for our winter wedding) and lovely table centerpieces. Overally, it was a wonderful experience working with them.

My flowers were absolutely spectacular! I could have not imagined a more beautiful bouquet. My maid of honor bouquet was amazing and coordinated perfectly with mine. The centerpieces were also quite beautiful- Cress is highly recommended- Tom and his wife were really great! I cannot thank them enough.

Me and my wife needed some very beautiful flowers and smell really good. This company came out, and it was the best. The flowers was very cheap and really good Quality. It has good services and products.

My husband and I could not be more thrilled with the service, professionalism, and, of course, the flowers provided by Tom Cress and his staff for our wedding. Tom was so patient meeting with us and discussing our vision for our wedding. His knowledge and creativity are second to none. He really captured the look and feel that we were going for.

From my bouquet to the bridal party's flowers to the centerpieces, the flowers were nothing short of stunning. Even the flowers I wore in my hair looked fresh and perfect throughout the evening. My husband surprised me by contacting Tom to order two dozen white roses for me as a wedding morning surprise for me. They were gorgeous! It broke my heart to leave them behind when we left the next day for our honeymoon.

I would not hesitate to recommend Cress to friends and family!

Me and my wife used Cress Floral Decorators for our wedding in August last year and from start to finish everything went smoothly. You get very personalized service directly from the owners who use their years of expertise in the business to help guide toward the most beautiful floral decorations to fit the occasion and your budget. I couldn't imagine a better wedding experience.

I loved how they design the flowers for my wedding. The color was White and red. We gotten Red flowers which are roses and white flowers which are Winter roses. The roses seem very good and they all smell very good. The smell seems like it just got picked off a garden fresh!

My daughter's wedding seemed like just yesterday....and the wedding and reception flowers from Cress Florist were magnificent! From the outdoor ceremony, which looked like a Cinderella fairytale, the bridal/attendant bouquets and the reception, our affair was THE one to be at. My friends are still talking about the elegance and oppulence of our event. The bridal bouquet was the most unique and outstanding piece, which lasted until she came home from her honeymoon. Working with Lori and Tom Cress is ALWAYS a pleasure, and you can always be sure that your event will be unique and different from any other affair you've been to. Brides to be......this is the place for ALL your wedding flowers......and any other special occasion that you may have in mind.

It was a pleasure working with Tom and Lori. They were easy to work with and went above and beyond. Wedding planning can be hectic, but Cress Florist made it as easy as possible for us.

We got all nice flowers and our guest enjoyed them. They brightened up the place and smelled really nice also.

Well, to be truthful, this was not my first time around. Nor was it for my wife. Neither my child bride nor I are spring chickens. At 50 plus, we were happy, but kind of blase about our wedding. Somehow, Tom and Laurie managed to make us both feel young, and in love, and excited about our future together. The flowers were so beautiful, and they added a real touch of intimacy to the occasion. These people have a special touch; I felt like they had put their heart into each bouquet or table decoration. I felt like they cared. They brought out the chemistry of the wedding, and helped to make it one of our happiest memories.

We could not ask for better....The flowers were beautiful, and were commented on by everyone. The bouquets and center pieces were full of beautiful large roses....The detail they put really showed. The service was excellent. Highly recommend them.

MY BRIDAL BOUQUET WAS THE MOST BEATIFUL BOUQUET EVER..MY GIRLS BOUQUETS COORDINATED BEAUTIFULLY WITH THEIR DRESSES. THE CENTERPIECES WERE SPECTACULAR, EVERY ONE IS STILL TALKING ABOUT THE FLOWERS. I WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMMEND CRESS FLORIST, WORKING WITH TOM AND HIS WIFE WAS A PLEASURE. THEY ARE VERY CARING AND ACCOMMODATING. I WILL RECCOMMEND THM TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS WHO ARE GETTING MARRIED.

Tommy is awesome. I could not be happier with the bouquet and center pieces he did for my wedding. His goal was always to please. Like every wedding business out there, there is some level of inflation of prices, but I think I am so happy with the work, I don't mind what I had to spend at all. Awesomeness!

The bouquets and centerpieces were gorgeous. I've been to weddings where towards the end of the reception the flowers were wilted, but not with Cress. The flowers all looked exactly the same as when they first arrived. Tommy suggested colors and flowers that worked perfectly. He took what was in my mind and created it. Great experience

Cress Florist provided exceptional service and flowers for my wedding. They made the wedding preparations fun and I always knew I was in good hands. The flowers for my bouquet and bridesmaids bouquet came out exactly as I pictured and the flowers for the reception were unmatched. When I wanted to have cherry blossoms in one of the arrangements, they found them in the "off season". I cannot thank Tom and Lori enough for making my day so memorable.

I would recommend Cress Florist to everyone. Tom and Lori are the sweetest people. They were so helpful and honest. They helped me choose the right flowers for my wedding. My flowers arrived on time and were absolutely gorgeous! I loved them so much that my sister is now using them for her wedding.

It was a great pleasure to have Cress Floral Decorators as our florists.
For a not so traditional Chinese banquet, they did a great for all the florist decor, and gave us a lot of great suggestions. We couldn't ask for more from them.

All I can say it, we love them, and all our guests loved their centre pieces!! They took them all home!!

Tom at Cress was very helpful in designing the perfect center pieces for the reception. Everything came out as nice as it could've been and we were very pleased with the results. I would recommend Cress

Decorations at the event was unimaginable. Absolutely breathtaking!

Thanks CRESS FLORAL DECORATORS~!!! The best floral decoration and design~!!! We expect our coopration soon~!!! Happy Chinese Dragon New Year and all the best with you~!!!
