    Private flower crown making class at Fern Botanica
    Jennifer C.

    In a time like this, during a global pandemic where most of us are hunkered down and quarantined at home, there is a desire for the occasional venture out of our isolation stations to find a fun and safe creative outlet to spend time with our friends. Fern Botanica provided that for me and and two girl friends recently in a private flower crown making class with the owner, Julia. I had been communicating with her via e-mail a few weeks in advance and she was extremely friendly and accommodating in helping us schedule a date that would work for us, and also assuring me above all else, that the class would take place safely at their shop/studio. We had two hours of great fun and felt very safe with our masks on while we were having our creative flower crown moment and there was plenty of ventilation with the door being open and the breeze flowing through the space. Julia was a peach, and really enlightened us about her business and I loved the fact that Fern Botanica is eco-friendly. They compost, and use chicken wire in their floral creations as opposed to using floral foam which is not environmentally friendly. I found this info right from their About Us section on their website very encouraging: "Fern Botanica is a woman-owned, Astoria local florist with a mindfulness towards sustainability. We understand that while flowers are not the most eco-friendly, anything we can do as a small business to reduce our carbon footprint i.e. not using floral foam, using local vendors, recycling & composting is a step in the right direction." TLDR: The flower crown making class was well-priced, and my flower crown is still sitting absolutely gorgeous (pack myself on the back!) on top of my autumn apple display and will hopefully last for years to come. Also, any bride/groom or party planner looking for a florist should absolutely consider Fern Botanica. The shop itself is chic, airy, and beautiful with a nice variety of goods for sale from local makers (i.e., face masks), and a completely fortuitous Queens find.

    We love Fern Botanica!! As Astoria residents, there was no question we'd be asking our neighbors at Fern Botanica if they would be our wedding florist. Julia and her team knew exactly what vibe we wanted and suggested the most beautiful flowers for our fall wedding in Beacon, NY. We met several times over the course of the year while we were planning the wedding, and they were super quick to answer our emails when we had a question. Our centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres and cake florals were incredibly unique, each with its own personality. But the showstopper was our chuppah! Both sets of parents kept telling us how impressed they were watching Julia set each flower individually, removing and replacing any that didn't seem just right. She also honored our request to remove the back posts of the chuppah and keep our flowers behind our sweetheart table as an arch during the reception. Most of all we just love how friendly, energetic and kindhearted everyone at Fern Botanica is. 10/10 would recommend!!

    Fern Botanica created my absolutely stunning bouquet for my wedding in late September. I shared with Julia that was looking for early fall subtle colors in my bouquet and she came up with a truly beautiful and unique arrangement. I received compliments all day from my guests on my bouquet. I highly recommend Fern Botanica! Thank you so much again, Julia!

As our floral designer, she guided us every step of the way, asked thoughtful questions, understood our vision, and made sure every floral detail matched what we had envisioned for our special day. For our Indian ceremony, the garlands, bouquets, and mandap were absolutely beautiful and beyond what we imagined. For our Cambodian ceremony, the flower arch and floral arrangements were stunning and created the perfect backdrop for the celebration. The reception décor was equally gorgeous. The centerpieces, sweetheart loveseat, and flower arch beautifully matched our theme and created a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere. Every floral arrangement was thoughtfully designed and added so much beauty to our venue. Thank you, Sumithra, for bringing our wedding vision to life and making each ceremony and our reception so memorable. We received so many compliments from our guests and could not have been happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Forest Hills Lilies of the Valley!

    We booked this florist nearly a year in advance and spent a considerable amount of money on our…read morewedding flowers. We paid a deposit when booking and were told they understood exactly what we wanted and that we were the only wedding booked for our date at the time. As the wedding approached, we repeatedly had to call and visit the shop to correct details that had been forgotten or misunderstood. We also did not receive a contract until much later in the process, despite already having paid a deposit and having made our arrangements. That was definitely a learning experience for us, and we now know how important it is to have everything clearly documented from the beginning. Unfortunately, even after all of the communication and corrections, when we picked up our flowers the day before our wedding, every single arrangement was wrong, including the bridal bouquet. We had provided specific pictures and clear instructions. The request was simple: roses were supposed to be reserved for the bride, with different white flowers used throughout the rest of the wedding. Instead, roses were used in everything. When we brought this to their attention, we were essentially told that these were the flowers that had been ordered and that there was nothing they could do to fix it. We were also told there were multiple weddings that day, but that should never come at the expense of providing customers with what they ordered. The flowers also could not be delivered the morning of the wedding as originally expected. Thankfully, another florist was able to step in and fix what they could, but having to deal with this the day before our wedding was incredibly stressful and disappointing. What was most frustrating was not simply that a mistake was made, it was the lack of accountability and customer service afterward. Mistakes happen, but how a business handles those mistakes says everything. Our wedding day was beautiful despite this experience, but this was absolutely not what we expected after investing a considerable amount of money and communicating our vision so many times. I sincerely hope this was a major mistake and not intentional, but regardless, I would strongly recommend future couples get everything in writing from the beginning, make sure every detail is documented, and double-check everything before trusting this florist with their wedding day. The images are what I send and what I received. ‍ Decide for yourself
