    Flower Bouquet

    Great service and amazing flowers! I stopped by to pick up a small bouquet and they made it quickly and customized it to what I needed. I received a beautiful, high quality bouquet, this place is definitely worth the money! I recommend this place to anyone and I will definitely come again

    I wanted to support local business, and wanted to spread some love this Valentine's season to my special gal pal, who has really been a huge blessing to me in my motherhood journey, and saw this place was relatively close to her home. I decided the reviews were good enough for my business, and called them early this morning, asking for same day delivery, to avoid the chaos of Valentine's Day deliveries. I asked the florist to add some roses, and pick seasonal flowers for this bouquet, with a budget of $75, not including delivery fee and taxes. My information was taken, as well as my friend's address, name, and what I wanted written on the card. The conversation was very free flowing and easy to do. I asked what a ball park would be for the final cost, just so I could be aware of what would be charged to my credit card, and was told $85 ($10 for same day delivery fee) and taxes. Everything seemed well planned except my friend wasn't home for the delivery! She ended up going into the office when I scheduled for same day. Well, Mari from the shop sent me several texts to let me know she was in contact with my friend and rescheduled the delivery for next day morning. Such a patient, understanding, and passionate store to really go above and beyond for a first time customer! I was even more blown away by the stunning bouquet the made especially for my friend and her daughter. I wish they would deliver to Brooklyn because I would order from here all the time! I will definitely order more in the future! The hype is real and this place is top notch!

    Wow so pretty, you can tell they take pride in their flowers and plants. True artists. Definately better priced compared with other similar florists.

    Fresh amazing sunflowers from Floresta

    Floresta is such an amazing company. They always provide impeccable service, and the quality of their flowers is second to none go visit them for any occasion, especially for Mother's Day, especially for weddings, especially for your birthday. The flowers are always fresh and they have an amazing array of variety that will fit any mood and brighten any atmosphere. Great price as well.

    For our wedding this past year, we were looking around for florists that would make our wedding visions come to life. We happened to move to Long Island City at the start of 2024, on the same block as Floresta and were recommended to speak to Carlo regarding our wedding from our friends who were having Floresta at their wedding as well. We couldn't be more thankful for this connection, perfect timing and how our vision in fact came to life. For myself as the bride and wanting to have every detail figured out, Carlo and his staff made the process so seamless where we didn't have to worry about a thing leading up to our wedding and on the day of. The recommendations for our venue were perfect, the bouquets, boutonnieres, and even our dog's floral collar and leash (!!!) came out 1000x better than we could've ever thought of and planned for. The table arrangements absolutely gorgeous yet simple and classy, with candles all around, 3 beautiful arrangements for the gazebo where we had our ceremony, and decor throughout the reception ball room. We had full trust in Floresta and it was nothing short of an amazing result. We are so grateful and would recommend them over and over again!

    My daughter had chosen the Ravel hotel to get married in. We searched online for a florist. The hotel also referred this florist along with a few other florists. From the minute we saw Floresta Arrangements we knew he wasn't just a florest,he was a artist. Carlo went above and beyond what we talked about for my daughters special day. The flowers he used where all exotic and top quality flowers. The girls bouquets were stunning, along with the brides bouquet. I'm not one for a long wordy review., but you would be making a mistake by not using the florist. Wish I could give 10 stars Can't Thank you enough for doing such a great Job!

    Amazing! My experience with this local florist shop in LIC was speedy, understanding, professional! When asked about a last minute bouquet with an inspiration found from Pinterest, floresta recreated the design with their own take and flower suggestions. Monica easily assisted me with available flowers on a budget while also incorporating some minor ones I found nice into the floral design. Was it the same? No. But it still was perfect and I couldn't have imagined anything better. I was able to come up with an idea a day before. She had helped me pick non-rose flowers and the size of the bouquet. I was able to pick up the flowers the next day! I did not feel like it was last minute at all! Unique and beautiful. Couldn't ask for anything else. Small, crowded shop. Accepts card and cash. Requests and available flowers on sale at shop. No bathroom available.

    Floresta brought our wedding vision to life! Our bridal party and reception floral arrangements were perfect. I had general idea of what I wanted and Carlo knew exactly want to do. All of his suggestions for the type of flowers were so on point. I was looking for a romantic look and that's exactly what I got. His entire staff was helpful and answered all of the questions that we had. The process from start to finish was everything we could have asked for from a vendor. Ana, the manager, was so helpful and helped us feel at ease. They were flexible when we had last minute changes and worked our budget. Would definitely recommend and hire them again for future events.

    I can always rely on Floresta to create a beautiful arrangement for any occasion! The florists are all very talented and friendly! Tell them your budget and they will create a unique, beautiful, set of flowers you will definitely love! I go here exclusively when I want the best flowers that are not premade. It's definitely worth the investment.

    Carlo and the whole staff at Floresta were excellent. We connected with Carlo for our wedding, and he took the time to hear our ideas and provide his professional input when we needed help. He definitely helped take our event to the next level without breaking the bank. Elyse, who handled the admin was very helpful and patient as well. I could not be more pleased with how our flower arrangements came out! I am obsessed with how gorgeous the flowers were and how they made everything come together beautifully! I recommend Floresta 100%

    This place is pretty hidden, I wouldn't know it was a flower shop if I drove by. No sign outside just a few large lightbulbs and a small window where you can see flowers inside... I stopped by here last min to buy some mother's day flowers for Mum's. I wasn't expecting much, but I was delightfully surprised! The nice girl that worked there (niece of the owner) put together a pretty arrangement for me! The arrangement was small but beautiful! (see my picture) $50 a bit on the pricey side but so pretty...ahh... I shall be back!

    I first came across Floresta when I moved to L.I.C. It was the holiday season and I wanted an arrangement for a dinner I was hosting on Christmas eve. I walked into the unassuming shop and noticed many gorgeous and unique flowers. They asked me for my price point and I pointed out a couple of flowers and colors I wanted in the arrangement and got a GORGEOUS holiday arrangement at an amazing price for very high quality work. Since that day, I was hooked. I'm now a loyal customer and have gotten to know the staff and owner, Carlo, very well. Not only is their work impeccable but they're extremely friendly and welcoming. Of course, the moment I got engaged, I knew I wanted Floresta to be my wedding florist. The experience from beginning to end was easy and very fun. My fiancé and I met with Carlo for a consultation and the moment I described my vision, he immediately knew what I wanted. I saw his creative juices flowing and immediately came up with several ideas and options. Carlo is very experienced in weddings, so reviewed every detail, even pointing out things I wasn't considering that were really important to the decor. He was also very realistic and straight forward about price. He worked within our budget and the outcome was amazing. Carlo and his team are true artists. They executed my vision exactly and I could not be more happy with how my wedding turned out.

    Carlo is the best! So personal, such incredible taste!!! Place is adorable! Super helpful!!!! Love this place
