The BEST florist out there!

Cress did the most amazing job for our June 2024 wedding. I worked with both Tom and Lori, and they could not have been more helpful, accommodating, detail-oriented, and communicative throughout the entire planning process. They were by far my favorite vendor to work with! They are experts in their field and really brought my vision to life, offering their guidance and suggestions along the way. The arrangements they created were absolutely magnificent and I will definitely be using them for future events. Thank you Tom and Lori for everything!

Outstanding in every way!

Working with Lori Cress at Cress Floral Decorators was OUTSTANDING! I was planning my daughter's bridal shower and wanted a flower/garden party theme. Lori was readily available to offer advice and answer questions. Her expertise is beyond superb. It was immediately apparent to me that Lori would be personally involved--she felt like family. Since I live out of state, she made the whole process effortless for me; she even visited the venue. She is such a professional, and her artistic use of flowers and colors--impeccable. It was by far the most beautiful and enchanting "English Garden" anyone could image. To say I was thrilled, would be an understatement. It was everything I was hoping for and more to make my daughter's day so special and memorable. On the day of the bridal shower, Lori arrived early to meet me. Thank you, Lori Cress! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Amazing experience!

Lori and Tom were a pleasure to work with! They had done the flowers for my sister’s wedding ten years ago, and I knew I would want to use them for mine! The flowers were beyond beautiful and were exactly what I had envisioned. Everyone was complimenting them the whole night!
