I was driven past this jewel box of a spot and wanted to get some flowers but I was not sure. Fast forward to seeing photos from a friends wedding that happened a few years ago and saw what Brad and his team did and I was floored. It looked like something that came from the pages of Vogue and Town & Country. Basically aspirational flowers, arrangements and bouquets. He's a local and has lived in NYC and London. He worked with the late, great Robert Isobel in NYC and some of his clients were/are Bette Middler and SJP. I'm not even joking Bradley James is the real deal and still his designs grace the pages of different countries Vogue magazines and more. My wedding anniversary was coming up and I wanted something different and show stopping. I've tried a lot of local florists around here and I felt like I was not heard or was disappointed. I went in on a Tuesday and talked with him, showed him some photos of what I was interested in and a budget. Now kids flowers cost money and I would rather give my money to a local spot than some big corporate florist. Just the colors, flowers and size of my arrangement is dumbfounding. The inside of the atelier is a beautiful little jewel box of treasures and flowers. This is a special place and if you know you know. It's like the best little hidden secret of the South Wedge.. and to give you an idea they are pretty much booked up for weddings until 2024 no joke. My arrangements has orchids, roses, and all other kinds of very cool flowers. I am going to have them make me something for my mantle for Christmas and they are a quick 5-7 minute drive from where I live. Brad and his team could not be nicer and Jeff brought out my arrangement to my car and absolute plus. They really love and enjoy what they do. If you want something show stopping come here. Parking is on the street or behind the buildings. read more

I do recommend this place - as I have received two arrangements as gifts from a friend. Recently I was in touch with the owner and he was very kind, and responded quickly and with flexibility. I look forward to utilizing the talents at this place in the future. read more

Wow! Call at 10:30am and by 2:30pm same day a glorious masterpiece arrangement is delivered to your friend. This is absolutely gorgeous and at a perfectly reasonable price. People might suggest other florists on East Avenue or in Webster - but for something really special and wonderful, this is the place to go!! read more

I actually am from Buffalo but drove to Rochester a few times just to work with the dynamic duo that is Brad and Jeff. Looking at their pictures gave me high expectations and honestly they still blew me away. When I went for the 1st consultation I was a little nervous because I wanted a lot of beautiful and whimsical flowers but I wasn't sure how far my budget would go for the flowers I was envisioning. They are so professional and creative, they knew exactly what I could get for what I wanted to spend and they found perfect ways to give me the flowers of my dreams while making sure we stuck to the budget. Most brides never get to see any of the flowers before the day of but I came in for a second consultation and they made me my bridal bouquet and gave it to me and asked me if I wanted anything changed in it they also showed me all the flowers they were going to use for the bridesmaids, boutineers, and centerpieces and let me swap a couple things to change the color or styles if I wanted to. They know us brides can be pretty detail oriented with our weddings and they go above and beyond to make sure they are creating what you are envisioning, in fact all the flowers were better than what I had even envisioned. The day before my wedding I went to pick up my flowers (they also do full service where they set everything up for you but I opted to go this route), I arrived and I saw the most stunning, colorful, whimsical flowers I have ever seen and I thought for sure those must be someone else's who had a bigger budget but I cried when they said they were mine. Everyone commented on them all night and they are one of the things that when I look back on my wedding I get teary eyed about. They did so much work too. I brought them holders for my flowers since I was a little particular about that. For my centerpieces I brought them gold test tube racks and then I gave them 20 vintage bottles and vases and they arranged them in the most jaw dropping ways. Such simple pieces I brought to them and they created beautiful statements. They got that whimsical vintagey garden vibe I was hoping for right on the head. They are true artists and work horses. I look through the pictures of all the weddings they've done and what strikes me the most is how different they all are, they can see what you envision and make it happen but even better. I would drive from Buffalo 100 times over to work with them, they are the kindest souls ever. Make the easy choice to work with them for your big day! read more
