The family wanted something that could be brought to the cemetery and then brought to the repast. Obviously a spray would not work but when explaining what I wanted in terms of color and flowers and that I wanted something in a container that could be easily brought from one place to another, this is what we received (two of them). My brother-in-laws family was so happy. What a beautiful job, for the amount I wanted to spend AND only with one day's notice. Wow! I highly recommend the creativity, efficiency and customer service we received at Centerpiece Florist My in-law's were thrilled and you can see why.

Sorry I never took a photo of the bouquet before I gifted it to my friend, but it got endless compliments and everyone wanted to know where it was from. Please go support this local business!

I don't feel like we got our money's worth and here's why…read more I ordered a bouquet and a box of chocolates for a friend of ours. I saw what was received and really didn't feel like we got our money's worth. The flowers, although fresh and well arranged, were grocery store flowers, and the box of chocolates was a candy bar. I am grateful that whoever arranged the flowers took it upon themself to gussy up the bar of chocolate with some cute ribbon, but I purchased "Box of Chocolates", not "gas station chocolate bar". If these were for a good friend or family member and not a distant former colleague's partner, I would have been mortified by what they received Even though it missed the mark for us, I understand that small businesses have to cut corners sometimes, but it seems that's not the case with this business. When I was placing my order online I saw an additional "service fee". An explanation of the fee appears only at checkout and states: "Good News! This applies to first-time online orders only. We appreciate your repeat business, so you won't see this charge next time you order using the same email address."  We promptly called to ask for an explanation as to what exactly that fee is for. The nice young lady who answered explained that it was a third party fee for their tech provider that does their website and e-commerce. I intially assumed this was a separate and unaffiliated third party, but when my husband asked if that was the case, we were reluctantly informed that their shop was recently acquired by the big tech company that charges that fee. Which sounded weird because why would a tech company buy a flower shop and why would it also need to charge a service fee if they own the shop?? Super strange... So,I guess this 'service fee' is about ten bucks that isn't going towards the flowers, the box of chocolates; (or in this case, chocolate bar) it's not even going towards the delivery or as a gratuity to anyone making or delivering my gift. I've bought flowers many times before and when I order directly from a REAL florist, I've never been charged any sort of fee that can't be accounted for or justified. Bottom line is if you want to pay at least an extra ten dollars and then some that won't go towards your flowers, the staff, or anything else you might be ordering, this is probably what you're looking for.  If you're looking to get what you pay for though, I would recommend going through a real local florist, not a big tech company like the folks who apparently now own Flowers by Reni.

I got married in Manhattan in November and we were very happy with Cape Lily's flower services!…read moreSylvia and Cape Lily came highly recommended from a friend, and absolutely exceeded expectations. Sylvia took the time to meet with my husband and I before our wedding for a couple of hours to get to know us and our tastes. She came to the meeting prepared with tons of amazing flower recommendations, a photo collection to look through for inspiration, and a vast knowledge of beautiful color palette ideas and various styles. I'm not a flower expert, and since I was my own wedding planner, I was unsure of what I wanted (to say the least). Sylvia helped us to feel confident in our ideas - giving lots of guidance, but also listening to our ideas and helping us to articulate our vision. Throughout the planning process I changed what I wanted flower wise a number of times. Sylvia was completely flexible and patient and worked with me and my budget. As the wedding approached, she met us at the space for a walk through to confirm where everything needed to go, and to make sure we were on the same page, down to the last detail. I felt completely confident that my flowers would be beautiful by the end of the process. I was right to feel confident - they were beautiful! They captured the essence of my romantic, NYC Fall wedding perfectly. She traveled all over the city the day of to make sure groomsmen had boutonnieres and the girls had their flowers. I didn't have to think about a thing logistically, which is what one wants on their wedding day. Thanks Sylvia, for helping me to have a Pintrest worthy wedding! :)

Jenny and team were quick to answer my questions and super-friendly throughout the process. Note: In the past I've had a hard time getting Brooklyn-based businesses to deliver to the Bronx (I completely understand, it is FAR). So was pleasantly surprised that for an additional fee, Fieldtrip was able to make the Bronx delivery happen.

We met Cathy through The Farm at Pond Lily, but would unreservedly recommend her for any event of any size. Her wealth of knowledge about wedding planning is unparalleled, and she worked seamlessly with every vendor we used. Her reputation preceded her with everyone we contacted, all of whom had nothing but good things to say about her.
