Jardiniere Fine Flowers

Flowers were not very important to me, so I visited about 6 or 7 florists to find the one that offered the most value for our money. Jardiniere was the most reasonably priced of those that I visited, which was surprising since they have locations in Chatham and Far Hills. Some places were comparable but then charged a few hundred dollars for delivery and setup. Although my initial meeting with Mike Pellegrino was brief, he quickly suggested flowers that would work with my different shades of purple theme and was knowledgeable about what would and wouldn’t work. After I booked Jardiniere and even before, Mike was patient with my back and forth of changing the amount of vases I wanted on the table, debating between different flowers, and adjusting the pricing proposal as needed. He always responded quickly to the emails I sent. I asked to have another appointment with him a few months before the wedding to review some final things and he was more than happy to accommodate. I knew I had nothing to worry about with the flowers. Although I had used small vases on my tables, the flowers were beautiful and really popped in the room. I had multiple people tell me how beautiful our flowers were which was nice since they weren’t over the top, large arrangements. Also, the two arrangements we had for the ceremony (and then next to our sweetheart table) were gorgeous and much larger than I thought they would be. We unfortunately couldn’t take them with us after the wedding, so I’m hoping our venue was somehow able to use them for the evening wedding that day. I would definitely recommend Jardiniere for future brides!

This florist is INCREDIBLE!!!! I could not have asked for a more pleasant, professional, accommodating, attentive florist experience. I went in with my ideas (mostly just colors and some vague reference to types of flowers) and they just ran with it and created a beautiful collection of flowers for everything from the wedding party bouquets, boutonnieres, mother's flowers, cocktail party centerpieces, reception centerpieces, and other specially placed arrangements. Every general idea I gave them, they worked with putting together in detail in such a way that captured exactly what I wanted! The guests all complimented our flowers and we could not have been happier with the quality and attention to our requests and detail. Jardiniere is a very special florist who provided us with everything we hoped for in the area of flowers!

I reside in NC. When we first met with Mary, everything was perfect. She created the perfect pieces for our fall-themed ceremony/reception and made our vision come to life. Mike/Mary were extremely accessible via email, which was perfect for me. We chose Jardiniere because they are a preferred vendor of the Bridgewater Manor; the site of our ceremony and reception. When Sandy struck, we ultimately had to reschedule because our venue and hotel had no power. I sent an email (all of my vendors were responsive this way with phones and power out) 3 days prior to my wedding letting them know that the wedding would be rescheduled, and I needed their availability ASAP. May 4, 2013 would be the new date, and I sent out an email letting all vendors know. I did receive a response from Jardiniere acknowledging my new date.
I requested a new contract with my new date on it, and I received a contract showing a deposit paid for our original flowers, but showing the same balance due that I had paid 7 days prior to my original wedding date. I figured it was an oversight and proceeded forward since Jardiniere deposited my check I sent them.
2 weeks before my May date, I received an email from Jardiniere indicating I would owe an entire new balance that had been discounted "due to the storm" and that Jardiniere was "trying to be fair" since they had to "throw out" all of the stuff from the Nov wedding. We contacted our venue about this and the owner told us he would take care of it. He did, and we received our flowers on May 4 at no additional charge, but this situation put a bad taste in my mouth simply because we were not made aware of the new balance right away, as well as being charged for items such as candles, glass, etc. I was never given the option to pick up the flowers I paid for that were "thrown out."
Before my reception was over, my bouquet was turning brown and flowers were falling out. I paid for a lot more than was provided. Disappointed Bride.

Mike at Jardiniere Flowers did a great job at our wedding, even though we changed the entire flower order and went with completely different center pieces! Everyone commented how awesome the flowers were. You know you are dealing with a talented person when you give them a general idea and they make it come to life without any other direction. Highly recommend !

Mike at Jardiniere was the most amazing florist to work with. He knew the event space and his ideas were beyond amazing. I never had to worry or stress once. If I thought of something and asked him about it, he would immediately respond. It was so easy to not have to worry about how the flowers were going to look or how to set them up because I knew Mike would make everything amazing and he did. Not only was he professional, friendly and a great vendor, his flowers were immaculate and gorgeous. I have never seen roses bloom so big and last so long. All of our relatives that took flowers home couldn't believe how fresh they were and how long they lasted. They photographed even better. My wedding was a fairytale and Mike made my vision come to life within my budget with amazing creativity, ease and remarkable flowers. I can't wait to use this vendor for another event.

We had an a wonderful experience working with Mike at Jardiniere this past year for our wedding. He was very helpful, insightful and professional throughout the entire process. Our flowers looked absolutely beautiful and we couldn't have been more happy. We would highly recommend working with Mike for weddings or other events.

Michael from Jardiniere offered us a first class experience from start to finish. He is creative, easy to work with, knowledgeable and flexible and his flowers are a work of art.

Michael created THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHUPPAH for us using his talents with flowers and a lace bedspread that has been in my family for years. I was so touched when I saw it. It made the night even more special for us.

He went out of his way to find vases that were affordable and had the mercury glass look that we wanted, and my bouquet was nothing short of spectacular!!!

I want to have another party soon just so I can hire him again!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I cannot say enough good things about Mike at Jardiniere. He was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish, and he was easily the best decision that we made for the wedding. Flowers were one of the most important aspects of the wedding to me, and so, I spent a lot of time meeting with different florists. As soon as I met with Mike, I knew that my search was over. Not only did I find Jardiniere to be a much better value than other florists in the area, Mike's body of work far exceeded anyone else's that I had seen. Mike did an outstanding job with our flowers and chuppah. He made stunning arrangements and designed and built our chuppah in a way that I had never seen done before. Mike also never tried to upsell me (something that would have been easy to do because of how important flowers were to me). Mike was also very responsive to emails and never gave me a hard time about the (very) lengthy emails that I sent him with different questions and comments about our proposed arrangements. There is no one better than Mike! You will NOT regret going with Jaridiniere.

Mike and his business Jardiniere are top of the line. He was responsive, creative and extremely resourceful. He not only provided the florals for my wedding but also the event decor. Everything was beautiful. The altar flowers were gorgeous and the bouquets brought me to tears. He is amazing and I will never go anywhere else!!

Everything about Jardiniere is perfect! From start to finish I knew our flowers would be gorgeous, and they were! I left a lot of the creativity up to them and it was amazing.

Absolutely incredible wedding floral arrangements. I had no idea about flowers and Mike was so helpful and kind to walk me through each step of the process. He taught me so much and had so many great ideas for each piece of the wedding. Highly recommended!!

I contacted this florist frequently during the year leading up to my wedding, and they were always quick to respond and flexible in meeting with me. The flowers turned out beautiful and I received many compliments on them. A wonderful florist to work with!

My experience with Mike from Jardiniere was fantastic! We met with a florist previous to Mike and did not feel it was a good fit. Mike understood what we wanted and made suggestions that fit our personalities. He was helpful, responsive and patient.
The flowers were stunning! Everyone commented on how beautiful they were and how beautiful all the arrangements and details were. My bouquet was incredible- full and vibrant.
I think I've found my go-to florist!

Working with Mike has been the best experience of my life! I considered myself a flower snob and I know that I am a very difficult person to please. But, Mike of Jardinière was always professional, patient, flexible and creative and not only met my expectations, he exceeded them. The flowers were spectacular, their quality was the finest and the designs were unique and BIG just like I like them!!! Everyone should have a Mike in their lives he was my Savior. Thank you for a Job well done and making me look good in front of the boss.

They did everything I wanted! The price was great and the flowers were beautiful. I gave them a special request (that must have took a long time, I wanted 67 balloons!) They did it with no problem! Thank you!

Jardiniere Fine Flowers came recomended to me through my wedding venue and I'm so happy I asked for their recommendations. Mike at Jardiniere was wonderful. He was always open to any ideas I had for my floral arrangements and would either see my ideas come to life or suggest even better ways to make it happen. The price seemed a little high, but all my flowers were fresh and beautiful the day of the wedding and even lasted a very long time after.

This place was recommened to me through our venue and what a find! They did an amazing job and my flowers looked fantastic! My boquet was gorgeous! Well worth the money. I delt with Mike who was such a nice guy and full of great ideas. I left there feeling so at ease. Not knowing what kind of center pieces I wanted he made a great suggestion and it looked amazing! I would def receommend Mike and his team to anyone!

I worked with Mike Pellegrino at Jardiniere. In selecting florists I sent my ideas to three others. All of them were cordial but none saw my vision and all pressured me into upping my budget. Not Mike. He was respectful, helpful, responsive etc.

My wedding was last weekend and my flowers were insanely beautiful. My bouquet was so die for.

Jardiniere is who I would recommend for everything. Hands down. Will work with them...

It was such a pleasure to work with Mike/Jardiniere. They were beyond accommodating and always responsive. My flowers came out absolutely gorgeous!!! Going there always calmed my nerves...they were fantastic! I can't wait to work with them again!

When we first met with Mike at Jardiniere, I knew we were in good hands and that our flowers were going to be beautiful. He was extremely responsive and professional answering every single email and question promptly. We had many compliments on how lovely the flowers looked and my bouquet lasted nearly a week after the wedding, still looking beautiful.

Flowers were beautiful and Michelle is very helpful ! Thank you Michelle

We loved working with Michael at Jardiniere- he was able to bring our vision to life with minimal direction and made great recommendations. He was extremely flexible- I changed directions several times and he was completely accomodating and supportive. Michael and his team are creative and go the extra mile to make sure your event is perfect- example: I wanted mercury glass vases but they were way too expensive- Jardiniere hand sponge painted my vases with silver paint to create a mercury glass look and they were gorgeous. So above and beyond! Thank you Michael for making our day so beautiful!

We worked with Mike at Jardiniere and could not have been happier with the service. Mike understood my vision and made it come to life. He even offered budget-friendly alternatives which looked just as lush as the more pricey blooms. The flowers were hardy, gorgeous, and were just as fresh at the end of the wedding as they were when delivered that morning. Mike was professional, quick to respond, and creative. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat!

Our flowers were extremely beautiful. The complemented our venue and theme nicely. My bouquet was absolutely stunning! They are a little pricey, but the quality of flowers were great!

I hired Jardiniere for my Sept. 10, 2011 wedding. I cannot even begin to praise this florist enough. Everything I asked for and envisioned was delivered with a positive attitude and total professionalism. The owner, Mike, was just a joy to work with; so friendly, creative and very passionate about his business. He and his team created gorgeous arrangements that I will remember and love for years. My bouquet and the bouquets for my bridal party were stunning. Better than I even imagined. They were on time, communication was impeccable and the value was above and beyond. I will be recommending Jardiniere to everyone.

Mike was wonderful to work with! He was very accommodating and very quick to respond to emails. when I needed to adjust a few things, he always replied with "not a problem." just what every bride wants to hear! :) my flowers looked amazing from the church decor, to my bouquets, to my beautiful centerpieces!! Thank you jardiniere for helping make my wedding day perfect!

Three years ago my family worked with Jardiniere Fine Flowers for my sister’s wedding. They did a fantastic job with the flowers for her wedding. We’ve worked with them for other flower arrangements since then and continue to be impressed. As a result, when I got engaged, there was no doubt in my mind that Jardiniere Fine Flowers would be the only place I would want to do the flowers for my wedding. The team at Jardiniere Fine Flowers is great to work with. They are attentive to every detail and thoughtful in their approach to making the flowers perfect for every occasion. Mike and the entire team at Jardiniere Fine Flowers did a phenomenal job. From the bouquets and flowers at the church to the wreaths and centerpieces at my reception—the flowers were nothing short of spectacular!

After he was finnished... the room at the reception was transformed into something magical. Mike spent alot of time with me going over every detail including sitting with me at our recpetion site several times to make sure the linens and centerpeices were perfect. People working at the reception site told me that they had never seen the room look so beautiful.
He also gave me lots of great suggestions for the flowers for the bridesmaids and groomsman. All of the flowers were gorgeous from start to finnish.
He was a pleasure to work with and did a tremendous job.

Mike at Jardiniere was THE PERFECT FLORIST! He created the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces for my wedding and decorated a beautiful arbor for the ceremony. He was so easy to work with and very go with the flow. I told him the feel I was going for and showed him a few pictures, and he totally got it! My flowers were gorgeous. My bouquet looked so fresh like the flowers were straight from the garden. They were so beautiful. I loved Mike because he never made me feel like I was crazy for what I wanted... I changed my mind halfway through the process and he had no problem changing things around to make me happy. I also ended up asking him to take care of a few extra things last minute because I trusted him to do a better job then the people working at the venue and he had no problem doing them for me. He was amazing and the team that put the flowers together on the day of were so sweet and did such a great job! And he is extremely well priced for the kind of work that he does! WE LOVE JARDINIERE!!!

Mike Pelligrino was amazing to work with for our flowers. I went into the shop with some ideas and not much more. He was able to put together all different types of flowers while keeping us within budget. I had a vision of how I wanted the flowers to look when I walked into the tent for the first time, I was blown away with how AMAZINGLY beautiful the flowers were. My flowers were great as was my maid of honors. The church flowers were perfect. I cannot say enough things of what an amazing job they did. To top it off, the flowers lasted a long time. Many family members were commenting on how they still had the centerpieces. I highly recommend this florist.

Mike helped us design our floral arrangements for our wedding and he nailed the exact look we were going for. The centerpieces and bouquets were especially beautiful and tied our whole theme together! They were such a hit that our guests didn't leave any behind at the end. He was also very flexible when weather became a problem at the last minute. Thanks again Mike!

Our wedding date was 10-15-2010.

My experience was great with Jardiniere. I worked directly with Mike the entire step of planning. Not only is he a pleasure to work with but his work is amazing. I drove this man insane with so many requests and each time he honored my requests without any hesitation.

As i entered the church.. the work he did there was beautiful, the flowers at the altar were different and so eye catching.

I would like to say that out of all of the vendors that I hired for my wedding day.. Jardiniere 's work blew me away. From the time I walked into the reception all it looked so beautiful. The flowers were gorgeous and so were the cake flowers.

I would recommend Jardiniere/Mike for any bride that wants quality, professional work. This florist will go above and beyond what you would ever expect.

We used Mike for our bridal florals, which includes boutonieres for groomsmen and fathers of bride and groom, bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, floral arch, ceremony florals, and rose petals for the guest tables. The florals were stunning and my bridal bouquet is still alive 10 days after the wedding. Great quality!

Jardiniere was recommended to me by a friend and after meeting with Mike & seeing the final product I know why!! I worked directly with Mike the entire time and not only is he a pleasure to work with, but he is very knowledgeable & creative and the price is right. Mike's work blew me away from the minute the bridal & bridesmaids bouquets arrived, then the church, and when I thought I couldn't be blown away any more my ballroom looked amazing it was better than I had imagined. I would recommend Jardiniere for any bride that wants quality, professional work.

This was an excellent florist. Michael and his staff worked with us on flower selection and arrangements, and to stay within our budget. We were very pleased with the results.

I used Jardiniere for my wedding 7/23/10 and I could not have asked for more beautiful flowers, they did my centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres, ceremony decor and wedding flowers. I worked with Mike and he was the only florist I met with who actually had a sample for me when I walked in, he knew exactly which flowers I was talking about and was very knowledgeable about what would be best and in season. I felt like I was getting so much more using them but their price was on par with every other florist I met with. Overall a wonderful pain free experience.

wonderful florist- all arrangements and bouquets were exquisite and we had countless complements. Mike worked with us and made sure that we got ywhat we wanted- he had many good ideas. There were no problems with arrival times or setups

I could not have hoped for a better experience then I did working with Mike at Jardinière. I live in Florida, and met with Mike only once, trusting him completely to design my wedding day arrangements and bouquets. I was thrilled with how all of my flowers turned out- from the decorations at the church, to bouquets to table centerpieces, every detail was handled with care. I am still getting compliments!!! Thank you so much! :)

Jardiniere was recommended and we are glad we used them. The flowers were beautiful and Mike gave us several options when looking for different options. Very flexible when I changed things...

Michaelw as able to fix our last minute Chuppah crisis (we didn't have poles so it would stand on its own). He was sooo flexible in arranging what we needed and was truly able to keep to our budget requests. It was truly a pleasure working with him and I would recommend this place for any bride to be. He answered all my calls and questions, and delivered the flowers himself....he was a real pleasure to work with.

Jardiniere Fine Flowers produces beautiful and elegant arrangements, and we know them well.

Jardiniere provides outstanding quality, design and creativity for every occasion. It has been a distinct pleasure to recommend Jardiniere as one of our preferred florists for over five years. Owner, Michael Pelligrino is able to deliver product for the wedding client, social client and corporate client that is on time and within budget. His recommendations for color, texture and design are spot on and definitely not "cookie cutter"! We are proud to recommend Jardiniere!
