Pedestals Floral Decorators

Chris is AMAZING! My centerpieces were absolutely stunning! My guests could not get over with how the room looked! My bouquet was beautiful as well as my bridesmaids. He knew exactly what to do! They have done such a fabulous job! I couldn't be happier! Highly recommended!

Christopher Michael designed the flowers by my Mom’s 90th birthday luncheon, and they were sensational! According to my mother (who is notoriously picky), “Now, THOSES are beautiful flowers…” They were just perfect and we loved the scattered rose petals that were sprinkled around all of the centerpieces; they added softness to the dark furniture at The Carltun, and looked just lovely. An aunt who took one of the arrangements home commented on the gorgeous smell of the roses the next day, and how long they lived.Christopher and the crew at Pedestals were part of making the day very special for us

We worked with Robert and he is an absolute genious. My husband and I had an orchard theme for our wedding and we knew we didnt want to use the typical arrangements we had seen at various florists and at other weddings. When we entered Pedestals, we saw many beautiful pieces but we knew we wanted to create something new. We described our vision to Robert and when we saw our sample, we were absolutely blown away. He is so creative and captured our dreams perfectly. Our guests loved it and even the staff at our venue said they had never seen centerpieces so beautiful. They took our breath away with every piece - centerpieces, bouquets, cocktail area. To think that I accidentally came across this florist and decided to go into the studio...I am so glad I did.

Rob was a pleasure to work with at Pedestals. He knew exactly what I was looking for from day one. My bridesmaids dresses were cobalt blue(not easy to match flowers) and we were doing a black tie event. We chose to do all white flowers since it was more formal and it turned out amazing. Everyone was fighting over who wanted to take home the centerpieces at the end of the night. My bouquet as well as my bridesmaids bouquets all came out beautiful as well. Pedestals are expensive but worth it! Thank you Rob!

Great service & gorgeous bouquet & arrangements - many compliments from our guests.

ONE WORD..WONDERFUL!!!!THANK YOU

We worked with Christopher! I cannot even begin to tell you how wonderful he was! He took my ideas and made our flowers exactly what I wanted. The bo-ks were amazing! They are the first thing that everyone compliments when they see a picture. Our centerpieces were beautiful too! Christopher made recommendations that made everything look even better than i could have imagined! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!

I would never recomend this florist to anyone. Please BEWARE, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR YOUR FLOWERS. This company was supposed to arrive at 1:00 to deliver my flowers for a 2:30 wedding. I get a phone call from the delivery man who was not Christoper, who was the consultant I had been working with. He tells me that they cant fit under a bridge and are running an hour late. I told them that my wedding starts at 2:30! He then said he was going to put all of my flowers in a car and drive them over. The company was lying. I work at a restaurant that deals with Pedestals. They have never had a problem getting under a bridge before. Needless to say they arrived at my house at 2:35. We all were waiting outside to get into our limos. The company didn't even apologize for being late. Christopher our consultant was no where to be found. Then, I get to the church very late and the ribbon I wanted on the railing wasn't even on the railing. I paid extra for the ribbon. When I called to complain later on they said oops we forgot because we were running late. So I am walking into the church and I look at my alter flowers. They left a napkin on my flowers. For a good 10 minutes of the ceremony I thought it was a dunkin donuts napkin. But, as I looked closer it said North Ritz Club. I was furious!!!! I paid alot of money for my flowers and was not at all happy with the flowers. Then, later on in our celebration one of my guests came up to me and said the pew flowers popped off. So, In the middle of my ceremony the flowers that were on the pew exploded and went everywhere. Luckily, when we got to the reception all of the flowers centerpieces were gorgeous!! If you would like to see pictures of my church flowers with the napkin on it please do not hesitate to email me. I will be happy to show you what type of business this company runs. HORRIBLE COMPANY PLEASE BEWARE!!!!!!!!

I was so impressed with all the flowers at our wedding. We had both high and low centerpieces. They were even bigger and prettier than they were when I went to see the samples. I worked with Christopher and could not have been happier. I didn't know what i wanted for bouquets, just what colors I wanted and he put together the most beautiful ones I have ever seen. I would highly reccomend using pedestals, their customer service and their products are wonderful.

I was extremely unhappy with their services. We had a contract with them for my ceremony and reception. We discussed the details of how I wanted the decor at both location. I was assured that their would be no problem with either location because they have worked their before. I paid for them to set up six pillars of flowers to be at both the ceremony and the reception. In both location I only saw two and was very unhappy being that I paid for six. When I called to find out what happed to my other four pillars, I was told that the church said they were in the way and moved them. But the church and my coordinator for pedestals assured me it would not be a problem. So when I mentioned this to pedestals then informed me the church moved the arrangements and get this the church also told them not to take the four arrangements because they were donations!!! I never arranged for any of this. I asked to speak to the owner and he was not anymore helpful. DO NOT USE THEM, THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had my wedding on June 24th at Jericho Terrace. I booked my flowers with Nadia, and she really made the whole process fun for me. When I first started shopping around for a florist, I had no idea what I wanted. Nadia was extremely patient and provided me with great ideas. I saw 2 samples of my centerpieces before my actual wedding day, because I changed my colors. One was more beautiful than the other. When I walked into my reception room on my wedding day I was completely blown away at how beautiful everything turned out to be. My friends are still talking about the bouquets (especially mine). Thank you Pedestals for making my wedding day even more beautiful than I could have imagined.

Anyone looking for wedding decor should use Pedestals. I worked with Christopher Michaels after meeting him at my friend's wedding, which he also did. Not only did he do my flowers, but also designed lighting that changed throughout the night depending on whether we were eating or up dancing. He also helped me choose my bridesmaids dresses, which I was having a hard time deciding on. Everything was beautiful! <3 <3 <3

I was very pleased with my experience with Pedestals Florists. We worked with Nadia and she was very helpful-we went through a bunch of photos and showed her what we were looking for, as well as providing her with swatches for the wedding colors and what the mothers of the bride & groom would be wearing and she tied it all together for us. Our centerpieces were beautiful, as well as mine and my matron of honors bouquets, and all the boutonnieres and the mothers' corsages. They decorated our dais & place card setting table with rose petals and votives and even the flowers they provided to decorate our wedding cake with were beautiful. We would highly recommend them!

My name is Jazmine St. James and I recently worked with Pedestals Floral decorators for my dream wedding.. I have to say the service and the flowers they provided blew my mind.. i worked with Phil who exceeded my expectation and i would definalty recommend Pedestals to anyone who wants to have a dream wedding like mine.. They truely are a talented wedding company.. Five stars!!!!!!!

Pedestals made my wifes vision come to life with our center pieces. It was definitely a tough process from begining to end but the end product was amazing. The center pieces were the most stunning center pieces that I have seen and it was exactly what we wanted.

I got married this past June at the Westmount Country Club. I was recommended to Robert Herzog from two of my friends whose weddings I had attended as a guest. Both weddings were very beautiful, but not really my taste. When I first went to meet Robert I had a vision in my head of what I wanted. After speaking with him, he gave me some of his own ideas and completely steered me in a new direction. A few months before my wedding Robert showed me a mock-up of what he designed for me, and also of what I had originally wanted. This really helped me make decisions, since I got to see both of my options in person. On my wedding day, when my bouquets were delivered, I realized I ordered one less bouquet than I needed. I freaked out imagining one of my bridesmaids being without flowers. When I called Robert, he had another bouquet made and sent to us within an hour. In the end my wedding flowers were GORGEOUS!

Worst experience I have ever had. I recently used pedestals for my June wedding and warn any bride to be to go ANYWHERE else. My consultant never returned any of my calls, even after paying in full I did not receive a copy of my contract until I called requesting it. Upon getting that contract everything was wrong, down to the reception site! After calling to speak to a manager I was told none were on duty and they would call me back... my wedding was weeks ago and I'm still waiting for that call. Day of the wedding my bridal bouquet was wrong and the crew setting up was rude to me and my family. Again I warn all other brides to find any other florist as this was the only "vendor" headache I had planning my event.

the creativity is there, but if your not a big dollar clientthey want no part of youhow bout one of the installerstelling us they usually get $1500 to hang these ballsand you only paid $500.so what did he do, he threw away half the balls and did a pretty weakjob installing the balls he hung.If your not a big budget wedding, I'd shop elsewhere ....

My wedding venue suggested Pedestals as a florist so we went to meet with them and they were so professional yet personable. The arrangements were beautiful and selections were vast and most important, they worked with our budget. We saw some samples and fell in love immediately and on the day of the wedding the florist arrived early to set up and did little extra things to make our space gorgeous. Needless to say, we are so happy with the service and have not one bad word. THANKS PEDESTALS!

The DON'T GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT..I was very excited when i met Christopher.his a very sweet guy ..I had a couple of meeting with him so i can see my flowers and to rearrange them to the way i wanted and the colors i wanted..all those time we met he told me i cant get the peonies the magenta color you want and the hot pink and purple... but the day of my wedding you will get them..so i trusted him ,he told me he would make sure that i get the colors i wanted..I also told him i don't want any roses at all..so to my surprise the day of my wedding .I got roses that are a reddish color for my brides made and the peonies were a light pink for the church..i called up the shop to make sure the fix my bridesmaid flowers and to make sure that in the reception to get the magenta color that i wanted..the changed the brides maid flowers but still wasn't what i wanted (the gave me roses for them )and the reception flowers were the light pink flowers only with a dip of purple..the only magenta peonies that i got was on my bouquet ..the added other flowers to make my flowers look bigger that i never wanted ..they looked ok but NOT WHAT I WANTED AT ALL..I wanted med flower arrangements with magenta and purple peonies and some other flowers that i never got,i wanted my bouquet to be a small bouquet w some orchids falling over and i got this heavy huge plastic thing that was for bouquets in the 80s.realy....they just assumed by making my flowers bigger i would of been happy. cause they didn't give me what i wanted..The need to pay attention to what the costumer wants and not what they think is right....

My wedding was a two-day event - with the first day being an Indian wedding ceremony, and the second day being a Catholic wedding ceremony at a church, followed by a reception at another venue.

I will start with the bad news first. The following is a list of my complaints for each day.
Day 1 (Indian Wedding Ceremony):
1. The centerpieces had roses, and I had specifically requested not to have roses, but instead calla lilies and orchids. The vases were supposed to be spray painted gold, as they were when I saw the mock centerpiece for my ceremony. This is not how they were executed; therefore, they did not match our other decor.
2. The Pedestals truck was parked in front of the venue entrance when we arrived, which was close to the start time of my ceremony and when the guests were arriving. This is not the first thing I would want my guests to see as they arrive at the venue.
3. We were to be provided with two bags of rose petals for use during the Indian ceremony. Since this was not provided, we had to pick apart the roses in the centerpieces to have enough petals.
4. We discussed the Mandap (structure under which a bride and groom have an Indian wedding ceremony) having deep red and gold fabric. There was no red fabric on the Mandap, but instead there was white, which we had specifically asked not to have for religious reasons.
5. We paid for an aisle runner, with tall, clear vases along the aisle and tulle hanging in between the vases. There was no aisle runner or tulle, and the vases were placed in a row next to the Mandap instead.

Day 2 (Catholic Wedding Ceremony/Reception):
1. My wedding ceremony began at 2:00 PM and Pedestals was supposed to be delivering floral decorations and a wagon for my flower girl (she was only 1 and not walking yet) to the church between 1pm and 1:30pm. They arrived 8 minutes prior to the ceremony. Not only was this a burden, as my guests had to see the hustle and bustle of setting up the ceremony decorations while they were sitting and waiting for the ceremony to start, but my ring bearers and flower girl had intended to practice with the wagon prior to the ceremony, but were unable to do so because of the late delivery. This caused much stress for the kids' parents.
2. I had requested pink and purple flowers for my hair, which were supposed to be placed on wires that could be inserted into my up-do. No flowers were provided for my hair. This is probably the most disappointing of my complaints, because a bride spends a great amount of time thinking about her wedding day look, and I was left to improvise, taking one of the groomsmen's boutonnieres and considering taking apart my bouquet to make this work.
3. My bouquet was not what I wanted. I did not want any white in my bouquet and specifically requested pink and purple flowers and not many (if any calla lilies). Instead, my bouquet was almost all calla lilies and mostly white.
4. The groomsmen boutonnieres were delivered to the hotel when I had specified that they should be delivered to the church instead, since only myself and the bridesmaids would be at the hotel. I had to instruct the delivery men what to do with the boutonnieres on the day of my wedding.

I was promised a typed list of all items being provided on each day at least two weeks before the wedding and never received it. I asked for this list several times in the months leading up to my wedding. I believe a lot of the above complaints could have been avoided if I was provided with an adequate list, and if Pedestals was not so ambiguous on what was being provided for the price being paid (e.g. providing clients with itemized lists/prices).

Now for the good news:
1. I worked with Robert throughout the process, and he was very friendly during our meetings.
2. Robert created a centerpiece preview for my reception on Day 2. We had three different types of centerpieces, and they were completely unique and spectacular - we were obviously trying to incorporate some fusion cultural elements into our reception, and Robert added Bells of Ireland flowers to the centerpieces in honor of my Irish-American now-husband, which I thought was a nice touch.
3. We had Pedestals do ceiling draping in our reception ballroom, and it turned out beautifully - with crystals, flowers and votives, which tied into our centerpieces.
4. I received many compliments from guests on our centerpieces the day of the wedding.

Despite the good news above, I can't wholeheartedly recommend Pedestals as a florist/decorator. The logistical challenges in getting in touch with them and working with them, as well as the uncertainty about what you will actually receive on the day of your wedding, might be too much of a risk if you want a stress-free wedding day. You will likely pay less for another florist as well, making the negatives outweigh the positives.

I was very happy with my wedding. I have to tell you I let them take the lead and it all came together better then I could imagine. I worked with Robert and I gave him a budget and he blew me away. He added in so many extras and even helped me pick my menu. I should of never hired a party planner I had Rob

I used Pedestals this past May at The Oheka Castle and was very pleased with my flowers. I worked with Phil and he was on top of every detail. I had shopped other florists and I clicked with him and after makiing me several samples he got my exact vision. I was a bit difficult because I had so many ideas but he was very patient and took his time to help me put my ideas together. His prices were very fair and I highly reccomend them.

All I have to say is if you go here you MUST see Nadia! Everyone there is great, but in my opinion she is the BEST! I came in there with somewhat of an idea and some colors and she turned my ideas into a work of art! From the second I met her I knew Pedestals was it! She immediately took my ideas into the back and started pulling flowers she thought I would like. The colors and flower choices were exactly what I wanted and better. My bouquet, centerpieces, bridesmaids bouquets....everything was unbelievable! Pedestals happens to be a lil on the pricey side but you get what you pay for, and then some! I would highly recommended Pedestals...as a matter of fact all my friends and family members getting married are going there on recommendation from me! I know I will never go anywhere else, thats for sure!

My Wedding was at Oheka Castle on May 6th 2011. I am not sure about the other postings as I can only speak for me and my NEW husband. But Christopher did an amazing job. When I first met with him I discussed my budget. He worked with me and didn't judge me based on my budget like other florists in the area did. When he said something, he delivered as promised. My contract was delivered when he said he was going to deliver it. He didn't forget, never made an excuse for anything. He always returned my calls and emails. They were never delayed. The flowers on the wedding day were so beautiful I WAS STUNNED! My centerpieces were as promised as well as my bouquets, the girls bouquets, and corsages. When we went to our sample we didn't like how the centerpiece came out. BUT Christopher took the time and made sure that we were happy and created another centerpiece. His sincerity and professionalism made us feel that he genuinely cared about our wedding. We were NOT JUST a number. On the wedding day he delivered the flowers on time, the room was decorated exactly to our conversation. He did not miss a thing. I know how much a wedding day can mean to a bride and its unfortunate that some brides had a bad experience. BUT CHRISTOPHER ROCKS!!! We cant thank Pedestals enough for an amazing experience, good quality flowers, and gorgeous centerpieces. I even left my notebook there and Pedestals over-nighted it to me. It had all my notes and wedding planning information. Thank you Pedestals, you made the day I have been dreaming about come true!

Chris Michael is an amazing florist. His centerpieces and bouquets were absolutely beautiful and the flowers were so colorful. He is a true artist with flowers. Not only that, he is extremely nice and always willing to help and re-do arrangements until you are completely satisfied.

Our flowers ended up being lovely.... But the professionalism was certainely not there.

Wasnt happy with the order and especially the quality of the flowers, and especially not the way they handled my complaint after the wedding...but they already were paid so what do they care.

Rob H was my go to man from the very beginning and was able to practically read my mind in regards to flowers for my wedding. I provided him with details about our wedding (e.g., cocktail style, classy, no garder throwing, live musicians playing mostly Buble style music with fun dance choices thrown in, warm rustic, vineyard like room feel for cocktail hour and simple yet elegant reception room with 2 out of 4 walls floor to ceiling windows, etc) and he was able to create right before my eyes, the most bold and beautiful color and flower combination I could have ever imagined. He was receptive to my input and would try anything I asked. Although anything I thought I wanted to change, I always reverted back to his original suggestion bc he was just that good! The morning of our wedding our flowers arrived at our hotel suite by 7 am in NJ, almost 2 hours away from the florist, and the delivery guys were great. I can honestly say when I looked at the flowers for the first time-they took my breath away and I was ecstatic. Everything about them was gorgeous- they were even more beautiful than I expected- bold, bright, full, fresh and simply gorgeous! We had a prestigious florist of 30+ years experience as a guest and when he saw the centerpieces at our reception, he himself said he had never seen such unbelievable work! This florist comes highly recommended for service, price and quality...They were amazing and I will use them and recommend them again and again!

Virgil from Pedestals did our wedding at Fox Hollow on November 6, 2010. Everything turned out more beautiful than we'd ever imagined. Our guests still tell us how pretty our flowers were. The centerpieces were so lush and colorful, and I absolutely LOVED my bouquet. The bridesmaids' bouquets, flower girls' pomanders, boutonnieres, corsages were all amazing. Each meeting with Virgil was such a pleasure. He's very talented and will definitely execute your vision.

We used Pedestals in Garden City for our wedding on October 23, 2010. We were provided with the florist Chris and could not have been any happier. He listened to our colors and requests and made the most beautiful three types of centerpieces for our special day. The bridal bouquet was gorgeous! More than was expected! They make samples a few weeks before your wedding so you can tweek any changes you might want. We knew what to expect showing up at our wedding and were blown away as Pedestals beat our expectations! They worked with us for our price range as well. I would use them again for any event!

This was one of our wedding venues recommended vendors. When we arrived at the showroom we thought they would be way above our budget. We were pleasantly surprised. We worked with Virgil and he did an amazing job with the centerpiece and bouquets. I still have mine on my night stand, it dried pretty decent on its own. I would highly recommend Pedestals.

We were recommended to Pedestals by Joe, Manager at Giando On the Water, our reception venue. From our first meeting with Virgil to my multiple last meetings with him at the Garden City office, Virgil was a joy to work with. He listened and supported my vision and then he took the lead and created gorgeous floral designs for our wedding. I had my doubts due to reading several poor reviews that actually mentioned Virgil's name in the past. However, he and the staff proved those bad reviews wrong. Virgil and his staff were responsive to my requests and was flexible with our budget. My flowers were so beautiful several of my friends and guests believed the flowers were fake! Everything set up was picture perfect and believe me, I have the pictures to prove just how much of an awesome job was done for us by Virgil and his staff. Virgil is truly an artist and very fun to share ideas with!

We use Pedestals in Garden City Park for our wedding October 10th, they were great to work with and made our vision come to life perfect. We worked with Nadia and she was always quick to answer questions or concerns we had with anything.

Ask for Virgil, he's fantastic. Very amenable to working with your ideas and making sure you LOVE everything.

Choosing Pedestals Florist was the best decision we made. Our ceremony and wedding flowers and bouquets were gorgeous and we owe it to Robert Herzog. Robert is the best person to meet with, he has a lot of patience (I changed my mind a lot and he had no issue) and he is very creative. He will take the time to pick some flowers out of the back and show you how they look together to give a better idea. They made my centerpieces absolutely amazing and my reception looked like an enchanted forest. Recommend to everyone!

I just used Pedestals for My October 1st wedding at the Garden Citly Hotel and found them to be amazing. I worked with Robert, He had did severeral weddings in my family. My banquet manager Paul even commented how the room looked. I was very confused about flowers but he took his time and listened and made me very happy the day of the wedding.

As we planned our wedding, my husband and I agreed that the floral arrangements should be an important part of our affair. We felt that committing $20,000.00 for flowers would guarantee that our guests and we would enjoy the beauty that flowers bring to a gathering. After interviewing several florists, we decided upon Pedestals in Garden City. Our representative was Rob, who is also one of the owners. We were attracted to Rob, who catered to our every whim. Every request and suggestion was met with a confident “yes we can”. We were especially impressed by the fact that he assured us he would be at the ceremony to personally direct his people on the day of the wedding. Alas, what a difference a day makes. The day of the wedding, arrangements and flowers were not provided as agreed and contracted. The centerpiece at the main entrance was a foot taller than the chandelier it was designed to be placed beneath. The six dozen engagement roses for my bridal suite were replaced with two dozen cheap white ones. The white dendrobium orchids and super white hydrangeas we ordered were replaced with green ones. To cap it off, when we called Pedestals to request that Rob come out to correct these issues, we were told that he was on vacation in Aruba. Our advice to anyone shopping for a florist is to steer clear of Pedestals.

Preston Bailey look out because Pedestals OMG. We cannot even find the words. You guys made our wedding look like Platinum Wedding. At the ceremony people thought I was crying to see my husband, which i can say i was, but i was so breath taking by the decor it was unbelievable it really felt like midnight summer dream theme. I mean OMG my bouquet i mean my "bouquets" was meant for a princess they were breath-taking. Rich you made not just my husband but my dreams came true. It was well worth it. Our reception was a Platinum Wedding , we have people till this day still talking about our Center Pieces. You and your staff i just cant find the words if there was something we didn't like you fix it with problems. The price an service and the decor OMG lol. Thank you

We worked with Robert for our wedding and ALL of the flowers were outstanding!! I was nervous about the flowers because I had a specific vision in my head that it was hard to convey in words, and somehow Robert just nailed it, I could not have been more pleased with how the color scheme I wanted came together, the high centerpieces he designed for us looked incredible, and the bouquets were so beautiful. We could not have been more impressed with Pedestals' work and every time we called or went to the office the entire staff was extremely helpful and polite. They did a fantastic job and we got so many compliments about the flowers and decor, we are so happy we worked with Pedestals for our wedding.

Pedestals does beautiful work but is a little pricey. Our consultant was very good though, Rich. He had to come back the day of the wedding to add something to our centerpieces and he did it without question. Go and check them out.

The florist came under good recommendation from my caterer and other brides. Lo and behold my shock and dismay with the overall service PEDESTALS provided. OK, so my centerpieces were beautiful. BUT *big but* I never got to see my bouquet even though I made an appointment to see it and went there. There has been so much miscommunication with my liaison Virgil it was stressful. Yes, the one thing that should have been cake walk was the most stressful. On my estimation sheet he wrote down that he would provide the wagon, not on the contract and have me a whole shpeel how we are not TOYS R US we are florists, then buddy why did you say you were going to provide a wagon for my baby (who happened to be the flower girl)? When we saw the centerpieces there was a question about the height and asked him to call us if he could get any lower. Did not call, not even to reassure and ask us if that was ok. Just no proper communication.The only redeeming factor were the centerpieces and the WAGON we did provide. That is after I scoured the stores two days before the wedding and finally borrowed one from a relative that lives TWO STATES away. Brides beware, make time in case of emergency and comb that contract good.

I am extremely pleased by the outcome. They had great ideas about how to decorate my hall and the flowers looked elegant. They were extremely reliable and responsive.

Pedestals provided us with AMAZINGLY beautiful flowers!! I haven't stopped hearing how gorgeous our centerpieces were! If you go with them, I doubt you'll be unsatisfied with the finished product. We had a few bumps in the road as far as service (they still surpassed other florists we spoke with...), but we were pleased overall with what they produced.

Robert created the most breathtaking centerpieces for our wedding. With antique gold pedestals, crystals, a beautiful array of cream and pale pink flowers (too many to name) and more, they were stunningly beautiful. My bouquet, white roses studded with Swarovski crystals, was just as stunning. Everything about the flowers on our wedding day was wonderful, as was the service we received from Robert and his assistant, Chris.

Pedestals Flowers & Design......Robert, i can't believe how lovely your Creations/designs are!!! My bouquet is amazing!!! i was holding it for a while and never thought i can have that kind of bouquet!!!!!i was ecstatic!!! my bridesmaids bouquets are all pretty......and the center pieces!!!!!!Ohh my, the guests love them!!!!Thank you Pedestals esp Robert for working with us.You will always be special to us.

I worked with Nadia at Pedestals and she was great. She was generally responsive, answered questions on her bberry at night and on weekends, etc. The centerpieces the day of my wedding were extraordinary -- bigger, more grand, taller, and just generally more spectacular than the sample she had done for me a few months before. The reception decor was spot on--no problems. My bouquet was ENORMOUS. My bridesmaid bouquets were about the size of most bridal bouquets. Pedestals did forget one thing that I had contracted for w/r/t the ceremony decor but as soon as I emailed Nadia and told her about it after the wedding, she was gracious about it and addressed it right away. I can't speak to the other consultants, but if you go to Pedestals, ask for Nadia. The prices she and Phil were able to offer me were really reasonable and their flower design is great.

This florist is completely unlike a neighborhood florist. When one enters the showroom it becomes immediately apparent that this is the florist for a "very special event." The showroom features tables with displays of flowers with a Victorian look to others that are strikingly contemporary. The flowers at my daughter's wedding were so beautiful that everyone kept asking for the name of the florist. I could have handed out business cards.

Pedestals produced the most beautiful flower arrangements for my wedding. Everything was very fresh and nothing was wrong the day of. I got so many compliments on how beautiful and unique the flowers were.

pedestals was great!! our flowers were beautiful!! Nadia was the best!! She has great ideas. She wont let you down!!

My flowers were even better than I dreamed of. Richie did a great job creating beautiful bouquets and centerpieces exactly from a picture I showed him with the PERFECT colors!! He made me feel comfortable and confident even though when I first walked in to their establishment I knew absolutely NOTHING about flowers. I would highly recommend Pedestals to anyone. It was such an enjoyable experience.

Robert at Pedestals SAVED the day! I had originally hired another florist that had been recommeneded to me. After months of asking him to send me a picture of his creation/my vision he finally did with 2 months to go before the BIG day! I wanted to die! It was the WORST thing I had ever seen. I thought that finding another florist this close to the wedding was impossible until I came across the Pedestals website. I called from Salt Lake City, UT (2 hours BEHIND New York time) it was 9:40pm when Robert answered the phone. Surprised he was still working, I went on to tell him my dilemma. IMMEDIATELY he began putting something together for me. I received numerous pictures and a sample quote the following morning. I am SO lucky to have found them. Still counting down to our wedding day, but I know I can rest easy knowing they will be taking care of me on the biggest day of our lives!

My flowers were even better than I imagined them to be. Robert did a fantastic job creating beautiful bouquets and centerpieces for my wedding. He made me feel comfortable and confident. I would highly recommend Pedestals to anyone.

Brought the thoughts in my head to life.. it was picture perfect! Robert is the best and will work with you on your budget.

Rob and Pedestals made us a BEAUTIFUL wedding. Everyone commented on our flowers and how pretty they were. One thing that was annoying was the week before he was very hard to get in touch with! But other than that he delivered on everything I wanted.

I was very disappointed with my flowers at the wedding. Pedestals was highly recommended to us and initially they seemed helpful and professional. They fell short of what they promised us. First, the centerpieces were half the size of the sample they showed us at the store. The flowers for the church were small and not impressive. They were supposed to place fresh roses on the cake in a decorative fashion however, they did a terrible job.The cake looked like it was attacked by disorganized flowers. The person who was supposed to go to the catering hall to place the flowers on the cake did not show up. Instead some other person from Pedestals placed the flowers on the cake. The flower girls did not have the correct colored roses which was an eyesore. The maid of honor's bouquet was supposed to be larger than the bridal party bouquets but it wasn't. The groomsmen flowers were incorrect in number. We paid too much for such lousy service. My only regret was using Pedestals for my wedding. All of the other vendors were perfect. Save yourself the disappointment, go somewhere else.

Ok, so I dealt with Robert, but I dealt with the receptionist more than him. Robert was very sweet, but I had to call Pedestals to remind them of my final appt and when I got there the sample was wrong. Robert was very nice and we went back to see the correct version, but on my day the final product was HALF the size of the sample. I didn't haggle hard, because I wanted to avoid this type of thing. I have picture proof and my warning is to all brides avoid Pedestals, as nice as they may be the proof is in the pudding.

I was a little disappointed when it came to my table centerpieces. I compared the wedding arrangments with the Wedding sample and the sample was so much better than the actual wedding arrangements. The one thing I did Love was how they decorated my wedding cake.

excellent

We dealt with Robert and overall we were very impressed with Pedestal’s service. Pedestals delivered on the floral arrangements-they were beautiful, fresh and very impressive. Unfortunately, building up to the wedding day, there were times when our calls/questions went unanswered and we needed to follow-up multiple times. Vendors need to realize that a bride and groom have so many different vendors to deal with and having to make multiple calls/requests to have things done is extremely time consuming and stressful. Again, on the wedding day, Pedestals pretty much delivered…the only thing they forgot was the LED tea candles on the stairs leading up to the reception and this was something that I really wanted! Also, they advertise an office in Manhattan, but it would be more convenient if they had more hours there!

My Flowers were AMAZING!!! Phil the owner did everything that i wanted. None of the groomsmen flowers fell off.... my bouquet lasted up to 2 weeks after the wedding before i dried it... and the centerpiece last 2 weeks as well.... they were awesome!!!

When we met with out advisor we were extremely happy and confident that our flowers were going to be amazing. The price was extremely good we chose 8 tall centerpieces and 8 short with 3 candles in the middle. We also had 5 bridesmaids and 5 ushers with bouquets for our mothers and petals for our flower girl as well as our fathers and 2 ring boys. The church also got 2 large flower pieces and 10 for our benches, all for alittle over 3K i was shocked.. When we went to see our sample centerpiece i was in awww absolutely gorgeous we just made a few changes... When it came to the wedding day our centerpieces didn't have as many flowers as the sample and did not make the changes we had requested, all said and done i was upset but our guest still thought they were gorgeous, when i called to complain they offered me a bouquet of my choice to be delivered but i never got around to it. All and all it was a good experience and would have not gotten such a good price else where.

I actually dealt with Phil directly for our wedding floral arrangements and was extremely happy with the service provided. They not only offered the best prices but also the best styles, very modern and elegant. When we met with Phil he was very attentive, reviewing the inspirational pictures I provided and offering his own style to create arrangements I had envisioned. We went through a trial of our centerpieces so I knew exactly how they would look the day of. I wanted short centerpieces with ivory vendella roses and hydrangeas but he added his style with some green berries and gerber daisies and they looked fantastic! He also added hydrangeas and calla lilies to my bouquet which I would never have thought of and I loved it! The bouquets were perfectly sized for me and my bridesmaids and we all received many compliments. The pomanders too were perfectly sized for my 3-year-old flower girls. Everything was delivered on time and the delivery guys were quick and efficient in setting up the altar pieces. I’m sorry other brides didn’t have as good of experience with Pedestals as I did but I will HIGHLY recommend them in a heartbeat.

Robert Robert Robert Robert! What can I say to him that no one hasen't said. He is a genious and an expert. He is not a florist, he is a floral designer. Please do not be influenced on other reviews that are not favorable. If you want a beautiful event, an unforgettable event, and your guest to be wowed, choose Pedestals! Robert is infectious! You wont be sorry.

Let me just say that if you want peace of mind and great, professional customer service, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT, use Pedestals as your florist. Here is the list of things that went wrong when it came to my flowers:
1. Pre-wedding - My consultant called me two days before my wedding saying that they cannot provide MY bouquet that I requested. TWO DAYS BEFORE!! He said that they received the flowers but it wasn’t dyed in the right color and that it did not come out pretty. I tried to understand his reasoning as to why he couldn’t do anything about it even though he still had two days left, but it did not make sense. Instead, he offered me an alternative bouquet that best matched my color theme. Reluctantly, I agreed, considering I had so many other things to take care of.
2. Day of wedding – I was told by my consultant when we went in for our final meeting that ALL of my flowers will be at the reception site by 4:30pm (my ceremony started at 7pm). But that was not the case. The boutonnieres for my husband and his groomsmen as well as my centerpieces were no where to be found. So from 5pm until my ceremony, I was going crazy. I had my bridal attendant and family members calling Pedestals but of course they were closed. You have enough stress on the day of your wedding but to have this happen is ridiculous. My centerpieces and boutonnieres finally were delivered – at 8PM. Pedestals caused me such unnecessary stress on the day of my wedding that I could not possibly relax. This is UNACCEPTABLE.
3. Post wedding – My husband and I go to the Pedestals showroom the day after the wedding to get an explanation of what happened. I could not believe the things that happened in the manager’s office. The manager, if you want to call him that, threatened to call the police if I didn’t calm down and actually picked up the phone pretending to dial. He showed complete disrespect by not even talking to me and talking to my husband when I’m the one who was talking to him. He blamed my reception site for the late delivery saying that my reception site was the one who told them to re-deliver the centerpieces at 8pm. How bad business is that when my reception site had Pedestals listed as one of their preferred florists?! Just pass the buck to someone else… I had asked for a refund on my bouquet since it’s not what I wanted. After trying to convince me of how beautiful it was, he then offered me half the refund and he’ll let me keep it. Why in the world would I want to keep that?? This shocked him for some reason. He finally agreed to give me the full refund of the bouquet and then he takes my bouquet and opens a back door that led to the warehouse and literally chucks my bouquet to throw it out. I could not believe his unprofessionalism. But at this point, my husband and wanted to cut our losses short and just be done with them.
I hope reading my story helps you make your decision. I would never want another bride to experience what I went through. And that is why I would never recommend Pedestals to anyone.

The flowers for my wedding were amazing. I worked with Nadia who was extremely flexible with me even with the price! I must have changed my mind about the flowers atleast 5 times, and was given the best of treatment nonetheless!

I dealt with Robert. He was always very sweet and accomodating in light of the recent economic instability. However, Pedestals is the WORST when it comes to returning calls or getting back to you on an urgent matter. Weeks could go by without a response from them- same with emails. My ceremony flowers for church decorations came out beautifully BUT my bridal flowers (white phalaenopsis orchids) as well as the bridesmaids flowers were not what I was hoping for. The picture I provided Rob of what I wanted for my bridal bouquet was hardly anything like it. The bridesmaids bouquets were also not what he described to me. Pedestals also did lighting for me at my reception hall- uplighting for 5 pillars that came to $800!! I was told I got ripped off. My advice is to go to Pedestals for flowers ONLY if you must. But do your research first and INSIST on bouquet and centerpiece samples!! Their lack of responsiveness and professionalism was disappointing.

I had a very good experience with this vendor. Several weeks before the wedding I had the opportunity to see my centerpieces and bouquets, they were perfect. The day before my wedding I was able to see the bridesmaids and my bridal bouquet. I was not happy with one minor detail of the bouquet for my bridesmaids and they worked past closing to change everything. I really appreciated how they accommodated any changes that I had and thought that Vito's enthusiasm was great.

Very quick to say you are the most important bride to them, maybe a bit too phony for my taste. Prices were reasonable, the bouquets were amazing but my reception centerpieces were not done to my satisfaction. I was very upset and will be contacting them as soon as my photos are available. Not as discussed and I had to let it go to enjoy my day.

They really get your vision. Rob is the best, I knew from the minute I walked in to see a sample he made for me before I booked them that he listened and saw my vision of what I wanted.. I cannot say enough great things about working with Rob . I never once worried about my flowers as I knew from meeting with him a couple of times that everything he would do would turn out perfect. The day before my wedding I went in to see my bouquet ,I was totally blown away. It was absolutely breathtaking I had never seen a bridal bouquet as beautiful as mine. Rob not only loves what he does but you can just see that he loves making you happy.

I never saw such beautiful flowers for my wedding. Vito did such a wonderful job. My bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets were absolutely gorgeous. It was exactly what I wanted. Pedestals works with you until you receive the exact bouquet you want. They give you plenty of ideas on your floral arrangement. They are worth every penny.

I went less than a month before my wedding to view my sample centerpiece. When I saw it I was so upset- they had it in the wrong vase (which was thinner) and it just made the centerpiece look small and insignificant. I pointed this out to Robert, who I worked with throughout my time with pedestals, he told me that someone must have moved it out of the correct vase and that it was made in the right one, and moved it to the correct one. As soon as he moved the flowers into the correct vase the whole thing opened up and looked so much bigger. He ensured me that the correct vase would be used for my wedding. The day of my wedding the bouqets were beautiful, the decorations for my house were beautiful, and the church decorations were beautiful. I was brought into the reception room to view it before all my guests enetered and there were 13 centerpieces all in the wrong vase. When I returned from my honeymoon I called pedestals 3 times each time being ensured that Robert would call me back each time. It has been well over 2 weeks and not one call. Not a professional thing to do! Very dissappointed with this company.

well, my flowers were BEAUTIFUL. However, i had orchids ( i forget the name of them bt they start with a P) and they fell apart. They did not tell me that this would happen. I emailed my consultant a picture of how i wanted my cake decorated and my cake looked NOTHING like it. When i called pedestals after my wedding, I explained to them that i wanted a refund for my cake flowers and i wanted a bouqet to keepsake. that was 2weeks ago. I have yet to receive a phone call from themOther than that, my flowers were beautiful and delivered on time.

I worked with Vito, and had he been the only player involved here, the rating would have been 5 stars across the board! We had a few instances of Vito being out of town or sick and others (including management) lying to us about samples being prepared by him and throwing them together in five minutes while we waited. That was completely unacceptable behavior on multiple occasions and simply telling me the truth before i drove all the way there would have made a world of difference.On our wedding day, Vito delivered! I was slightly disappointed the day before that the orchids we got were way too purple, but he remedied the situation. The bouquets were fabulous and the centerpieces were stunning. Definitely brought tears to my eyes!Vito was wonderful throughout the entire process. He impressed us from our first meeting and he is the reason we booked. The price was also (surprisingly) comparable to other quotes, and i believed he could easily take an idea and run with it, which he did!

Excellent all across the board. I worked with Vito who is an amazing florist he was so easy to talk too and helped me figue the exact look i was going for and worked around my budget. we also did lighting the room through pedestals and it came out amazing. i cant wait for the next chance to work with them again!

Loved working with Vito.He was very experienced and made a lot of great suggestions.The flowers where fresh, and beautiful throughout the whole day.My wife and I got exactly what we wanted and it wasn't overly expensive either.

I had the same experiance as another bride. The final product from Pedestals was half the size of the sample. I didn't go crazy on the haggling to avoid this very thing. I have picture proof too.

I went into the florist having NO idea what I wanted- I'm not really that into flowers. But the sales staff kept bringing out pictures and samples, all the while being so patient! I got perfect bouquets for me and my girls, and the ceremony arangements were gorgeous (even by my mother-in-law's standards!)! The only real complaint I had is that they told me I would get a throw-away bouquet, and they did not bring one...thankfully, one of my bridesmaids did not want to travel from NY to FL with her's, so we used that for the bouquet toss. But other than that, they were excellent! They were not pushy at all, and were still happy with us after we told them we would NOT be needing floral centerpieces!

Rob at Pedestals was a god send. Pedestals had done two other weddings for my family and always did an amazing job. We started working with Rob about a month before the wedding and he was able to pull together my image for the wedding in very little time and everything was beyond beautiful. I loved my bouquet and my bridesmaids flowers and all of the table arrangements. The ceremony looked great even with very little decoration. I loved every detail and am so glad to have been able to work with Rob and the rest of the Pedestals staff.

At first we looooooooooved our florist. He was great, understood us, has great taste and was super good with colors and ideas. I brought him my ideas and he worked with me all the way. Everything went very well. Until..... the day of! We agreed on 18 centerpieces BUT only 16 tables got them! 2 tables in the back corner were missing centerpieces. We played a game to see who won the centerpieces but of course, those 2 tables couldn't play because nothing was there except for a few candles!! In addition, half our ushers didn't have flowers! My bouquet was good, but could of been better. In the end, we just decided not to tip the florist to compensate for the missing pieces. I'm not sure if i would recommend them because on the outside, they seem perfect, but obviously they were a lot of mistakes that cost us our reputation

Where does one begin! My centerpieces where beautiful! as were the rest of my flowers! Pedestals was amazing. The gentleman I worked with gave me ideas and was very receptive to anything I had to say. I pretty much let him do all the work..LOL...He designed all the bouquets I gave him a picture of my dress and he ran with it making my bouquet beautiful! I reall recommend their services. Everything was perfect.

AMAZING!!!!!! Let's just say that I cried when I saw the flowers. It was everything I imagined and more. Vito rocks!!!!

I had an initially good relationship with Pedestals. My consultant Marcella was very attentive and sweet. However, as time went on, it was difficult to get timely responses from her. I'd call or email and TWO WEEKS would go by without a response. After several detailed meetings about my flower arrangements, 3 weeks before my wedding, I was informed that she was changing jobs within the company and would not be at my venue on the wedding day as promised. She assured me that the production manager would take care of everything.On the wedding day, there were NUMEROUS mistakes. For the ceremony decor, they misplaced 2 of my candle stands (they weren't even on the aisle!). My ushers had to move them and got candle wax spilled all over their tuxedos. For the actual aisle, they charged me double for the amount of petals I wanted (I provided them an exact photo). They only provided me ½ of the petals I had paid for. They decorated the gazebo incorrectly (the contract said square style and they did something totally different). They did not remove any of the stamen from the lilies in the bouquets (they stain and I had requested that they do so beforehand). My maid of honor had to spend an hour removing them. They did not provide the cymbidium orchids in my maid of honor's bouquet. They failed to provide ANY petals that were supposed to decorate the escort card table. My coordinator had to run around and take petals that were decorating the cocktail tables to make up for the lack of flowers on the escort table. Since all of the Pedestals staff were long gone when we all arrived and saw these problems, my coordinator was on the phone with them trying to resolve the issues. She was told by Rob and Teresa from Pedestals that they would send someone back to fix the problems. No one ever came back or called again. After the wedding, I called several times to speak to the owner, Phil, regarding these issues. No one ever called me back. Finally, I sent an email listing my complaints. Phil finally did respond, however, I found his response to be unsatisfactory. He only took responsibility for the fact that my maid of honor's bouquet was not complete. For all the other points, he made an inaccurate excuse for each, and completely denied wrongdoing in most instances. He also blatantly lied and said that his staff stayed at the venue to fix the problems. It was BECAUSE his staff was long gone that we had all of these issues. No one was there to fix the problems. When I responded to all of Phil's excuses with my points, he refused to address them. All he said was "I have reviewed your contract and I feel there is nothing more I can do for you at this time." He only offered a small refund. I took it, however, I am grossly unhappy with their poor service and their complete and utter denial of almost everything that went wrong that day. And, the fact that he lied and said his staff stayed to resolve the problems is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. There were several vendors there that could refute this easily.

The bouqet's and centerpieces were beautiful. Having my wedding at the Westmount Country Club, we were given only 3 vendors to choose from in regards to our flowers. I thought great, less for me to research. I had looked at some images, reviewed their websites and decided to go with Pedestals Floral Decorators. They seemed to be more along the lines of what i had imagined.From the very first meeting, i should've known that working with this vendor may be an issue. I came for my appointment and Marcella, a consultant for Pedestal's was with another couple. That was all fine however after 40 minutes or so of waiting, I felt like this was unprofessional. My mother and I had left work early to meet with her and it was getting late in the night. After sitting with her, I felt better. She had some great ideas and the color schemes she suggested were beautiful. However, i would have to say that I had a lot of difficulties in communicating with her. Emails would go unanswered for weeks sometimes even a month or two. The ideas we discussed were beautiful but when it came down to logic, it didn't click...At the church, my guests were unable to get into their seats or go for communion because they were blocked with flowers and lace (the priest was not very happy about that!) My aisle runner, which i specifically told Marcella was longer than the normal was too short! Didn't even make it half way up the aisle....All you heard was a thug on the floor from the roll falling. I emailed her to confirm the length of the aisle, we spoke about it during two meetings and then again had it written on my contract, the aisle runner was of course still to short. Even with some of the difficulties i had with working with Marcella and Pedestal's, i still emailed her after my wedding to thank her and to also let her know of some of the glitches that happened that day (No where as direct as above) and I received no feedback. I'm not really sure I would recommend Pedestals, maybe another consultant would have been a more positive experience?

We worked with Vito who was able to take my vision and translate it into amazing florals. We were working on a very limited budget, however he gladly added additional florals a week before the wedding. Highly recommended

ahhhhhh Vito blew me away with the way my flowers came out. Everyone loved the centerpieces....almost every single guest at the wedding took a picture of them!!!!!!!!!!

Our floral decorator was wonderful. ANything I said he was able to give his ideas and show be examples of "real" flowers. Many of the other florists I went to only had pictures to show me. I also saw a sample of centerpieces prior to the wedding. When my bouquets arrived on my wedding day, I could not have been happier. The bouquets were gorgeous!

Pedestals was excellent to deal with. They listened to everything we had to say and the flowers were better then I could have imagined. Everyone who attended the wedding told us how beautiful the flowers were.

My floral coordinator Ginny put in a lot of time to listen to what I wanted and look at all my pictures. The flowerd were gorgeous and stayed fresh throughout the wedding, even throughthe heat. The church and reception hall was beautifully decorated. Ginny answered all my questions and made me feel confident that the flowers would look beautiful. I was even allowed to see my centerpieces and bouquets the day before to make sure I approved.

Vito did a beautiful job on our flowers. They turned out to be everything I wanted. The only thing that truly upset me was when I went in to make my final payment with one of the ladies, he walked right by me and never even stopped to say hello. With all the money in cash we just laid out, you would think he would stop and say hi. It just bothered me but I can say NOTHING bad about the quality of our flowers. They were PERFECT!!!!!!1

We worked with Robert at Pedestals and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our flowers! Everything was gorgeous and the compliments were endless. I have never seen such vibrant and perfect color choices and combinations.

I chose these floral designers because they were just that, they are so much more than a florist. Their work is beautiful and elegant. I wanted something different and artistic for my wedding and settled on Pedestals.The only things that disappointed me were when I wanted to make a subtle change to my centerpieces and isl runners to include more of a certain color flower I received much push back almost like it was a hassle to make this change. I was also told to go and buy my material myself for the base of the bouquets when this should have been complimentary and standard. Only until my wedding planner contacted them did they accommodate me. Also, they refused to deliver the bouquets to my house early in the morning since they "were closer to the catering hall." The bouquets turned out to be beautiful and the centerpieces were amazing but the service aspect was below par on the part of the individual who I worked with. That is not to say all of their floral consultants are the same. At times I called for assistance and spoke to Vito who was very understanding and cooperative.

in a word - amazing. Vito was a pleasure to work with and my flowers were incredible. Everything I imagined and more. He is passionate about his job and I truly loved working with him. He actually called me while he was making my bouquet to tell me how awesome he thought it was!

I saw their work at the Jericho Terrace Bridal expo. I loved their sample. It was exactly what I wanted. So I booked an appointment with the guy I talked to there- I went back for the appointment and they sat me with someone else. She was not who I wanted to work with- well really long story short. we did put down a large deposit because their work was beautiful that we saw. I went back two months before the wedding to see the sample.NOTHING_ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like what I had wanted. Then when I had to go over everything I did want. they proceed to tell me that "well that can't be done with your budget". So I then told them that I will have to find someone else that can do it. "you can't find a florest two months before your wedding" is what she told me. I walked out of their building in tears! I then called another florest someone I really should have gone to from the beginning and not only did they do what I wanted with the budget I had they were so so nice. Pedestals would not give me my deposit back and after fighting with them- my mother had to take over and they agreed on decorating the cocktail hour tables. My mother had to set everything up because I just couldn't talk to them. They were so so horrible I beg anyone looking at them to please please go to someone else.It is not worth your money or your precious time before the wedding to deal with them!!!

They were wonderful to work with and did exactly what I wanted. I had the hardest time explaining what I wanted for my centerpieces. I told her everything I didn't want and she nailed. One of my favorite vendors that I used.

I was disappointed with the girls bouquets. Some of the flowers were dead and the day of the wedding there is nothing you can do about it. The centerpieces were beautiful and people are still talking about how gorgeous they were and how different they were. The pricing was pretty flexible but in my opinion I would not spend a lot of money on flowers.

Pedestals is an amazing florist. They chose the most beautiful of the flowers I selected. Marcella was extremely professional and gave advice that made sense and fit within my budget. She gave me an honest opinion, and I ended up with such an elegant affair. I would highly recommend them. From the first visit to the delivery of the flowers, they are professional and provide high quality products...not to mention, they're just very nice.

Beautiful. Great job.

Pedestals did an amazing job with our flowers. They were flexible and receptive to my taste and wishes. They also decorated my cake with flowers. My bouquet was AMAZING! Many of my guests commented on how beautiful the flowers were.

My flowers were gorgeous. My centerpieces were incredible. Everyone there was so helpful. Delivery was prompt.

Our Flowers came out gorgeous! I still get compliments 6 months later! Louise, our decorator has amazing talent and was able to capture the exact look we wanted. We also were able to stay in aour budget. The service was great.

Vito was great to work with!They did a great job, and their price was the best in the area! Some of the other places I looked quoted me double what Pedestals did.I changed all of my bouquets/ boutonniere/corsages about a month before the wedding and they had no problem at all. They all turned out amazing!There were two slight problems. 1-The cake was not decorated how I asked, actually it was decorated exactly how I told them I didn’t want it decorated. 2-My centerpieces were not exactly what we agreed on. I never took it up with Pedestals because all in all they were minor details, however now when I look at the pictures-of the cake especially I’m a little let down. (Side note-my neighbor who is a florist did tell me that sometimes the shipments come in and half the flowers are unusable, so they had to substitute what they could last minute…so that could be an explanation.)Despite the 2 setback though, my experience with them was great.
