I worked with Theo at Ariston Florist, and words cannot even begin to describe how amazed and thrilled I was (and still am) with the flowers they provided on my wedding day. At our first meeting, I explained to Theo what I had envisioned... simple, modern, with white orchids and candles. When I returned to see the sample he had put together, it was like he had taken the images right out of my head and made them even more beautiful than I ever thought possible. On the wedding day, Theo and his team outdid themselves... they had the chuppah and ceremony set in record time so that we would be able to take pictures prior to the ceremony. The flowers and candles made the room at Capitale (which is already spectacular) into a fairytale for the reception. A few weeks later, people are still talking about how beautiful the flowers and tables were! Theo and Ariston provided exceptional service, were on time, and were always accessable when needed. I can\'t thank them enough for making such a special day so perfect!

I worked with Tom and Theodore from Ariston Florists for my wedding. I could not be happier with the service they provided and how everything turned out. They are the nicest people and fully understood that I was working within a budget.

Tom helped me put together the wedding of my dreams. Without him my vision of my wedding would not have come together the way it did. It was truly perfect. He also put me in contact with all of the party rentals such as lounge furniture, table linens and charger plates and he took care of all of that so it would not be any more work for me. All he wanted was for me to enjoy my wedding day!

The flowers were literally gorgeous and I could not be happier with the service and quality. Thanks ladies.

We are so thankful to Tom and the staff at Ariston Florist. Our ceremony was so beautiful thanks to the gorgeous chuppah that was set up hours in advance. Everyone was so attentive to detail. Tom met with us and was able to figure out what would work best for us even before we quite knew exactly what we wanted. All of the flowers were beautiful--center pieces, cocktail tables, escort table and expecially the chuppah. We would highly recommend Ariston to anyone who wants to make their day even more special and memorable than it already is.

I worked with Theo and the team at Ariston for my wedding and they were absolutely incredible. From start to finish, I had such an easy and wonderful time working with them to bring my wedding vision to life. I really didn't know what to expect on the day of as I let Theo take the lead on the ultimate design of the centerpieces, huppah, bouqets, etc and they blew me away. Everything looked perfect and we received so many compliments on how beautifully decorated our wedding was (in large part due to Ariston). I would recommend any bride to meet with them and she can see for herself how wonderful they are to work with and the results are absolutely stunning!

Ariston Florist came recommended by our caterer, Creative Concepts. All it took was an initial meeting with Theo to discuss the look we were going for, and we knew he was the guy. We didn't meet with any other florists. Theo was able to take an image we had seen, and change it to our fall theme...and also put his artistry in it. Instead of floral centerpieces, we wanted trees adorned with fall-colored ornaments around the base with votives hanging from the branches. They looked amazing on the tables. He also did free-standing trees around the room. For the bridal bouquets, I had no idea what they would look like (we were planning this from Texas)...I had just given him colors. They were bright and lively with roses, calla lilies, and orchids...absolutely beautiful.

Hired them for my September '11 wedding. I was going to bail on flowers because the costs were just getting too high, but Jeno, the manager of my wedding venue Alger House (also reviewed Alger House—it was awesome!) suggested I talk to Theo at Ariston before nixing them altogether. I told Theo that I probably couldn't afford him and explained what was what with the wedding. He totally made it happen. Granted, I wasn't fussy and gave him free rein, but the man put together two enormous, gorgeous altar arrangements plus centerpieces and a bouquet that blew me away for the price. I am so grateful that he listened to my concerns and used flowers that allowed me to have a nice presentation without breaking the bank. (BTW, I also hired SweetBooths photobooth for my wedding and loved them too. I really lucked out with vendors.)

Although we had the BEST Wedding Coordinator, KasalNY, I was still a hands-on Mother of the Bride - I wanted to make sure this was THE WEDDING she had dreamed of.... Ariston Florist produced such dramatic bouquets, the flowers for the church was grand and most specially at the venue, Maritime Parc. We already had a 'preview' when Maria invited us to have a Floral Showcase of how the flowers would look but never imagined how it would be on the wedding day itself!!! A very professional team - from the planning to the delivery to the actual choices of flowers - it was SO ELEGANT and CLASSY- a different level!!! Ariston Florist - I cannot thank you enough for all that you've done. To Maria and the rest of Ariston Florist Team - KUDOS TO YOU!!! It was a privilege having you as our florist!!!

Although my wedding was over a month ago, I can still easily recall how beautiful the flowers that we had at our wedding were. I went into the floral aspect of wedding planning not quite knowing exactly what I wanted, and in the end, I couldn't have asked for more. The team we had was extremely helpful, and very considerate of our budget. It really stuck with my husband and I that they catered to each type of budget, and had our best interests at heart. The quality of the flowers were amazing, and the orchids we had lasted way after the wedding itself! Ariston was so flexible, even towards the days leading up to the wedding when we had to make some last minute changes. Definitely one of the most pleasant and easy-going vendors to work with :) Thank you so much Ariston for taking part in making our special day so beautiful!

We recently worked with Thomas at Ariston Florist for our wedding centerpieces, bouquets and decor. He was very responsive and the arrangements were simply stunning. We were blown away by our beautiful the centerpieces were and we received so many compliments about the decor. We would highly recommend working with Thomas at Ariston Florist.

I had to write a review for this florist because I was SO pleased with the job they did. I was somewhat anti-flowers - I thought it was a silly expense - but I'm so happy I changed my mind. The flowers were absolutely beautiful. They were able to stay within my budget (which was very low!) and it looked like we spent three times the amount.
We opted for potted orchids and they still look amazing, two months later. The guests got to go home with this lovely gift - I received lots of good comments.
I would very highly recommend them.

Thomas from Ariston Florist did the flowers for my wedding at Manhattan Penthouse. I could not recommend Ariston enough. The centerpieces and bouquets were absolutely beautiful and more than we imagined - we received numerous compliments throughout the night. Tom worked with our budget and gave us some great ideas and tips on where we could save, what was important, and had the most impact. Tom said we would never forget our flowers and he was absolutely right.

This florist is top of the line! They have an excellent selection! We're really happy with the flowers and arraignement for our wedding! We couldn't have asked for better!

I worked with John Zois at Ariston. He read me well and helped guide me through our decisions on flowers and decor. Our church was under renovation and didn't get finished on time so we had to move into a smaller chapel for our ceremony. At first we were disappointed and at my next meeting, John offered to take me over there immediately where he confidently offered budget conscious solutions to help restore our vision for the ceremony setting. On my wedding day I was shocked to see John himself there with the delivery of our bridal party flowers! Our bouquets were fresh, vibrant and beautiful. The pieces he made for the alter were simple yet dramatic and the centerpieces and accent pieces at the reception were just stunning! Ariston�s product and service are second to none!

We met with a few different florists. Ariston made us feel special with our first meeting at their 17th Street shop. They suggested arrangements and other flowers to go with our chosen bloom (Pink Stargazer Lilies). They provided the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, a striking and large chancel arrangement, and table centerpieces, plus a few extra blooms for the cake.

They were so helpful in providing all the things we needed within our budget. I would recommend them to anyone.

Ariston Florist is an INCREDIBLE florist whose talent is only outshined by its professionalism and service. Our flowers did not come out how I imagined - they were even better!!!!!!!!!!!! I am an incredibly satisfied customer and will rave about Ariston to anyone looking for a florist.

I had already booked with another florist and was feeling taken advantage of by that florist when I happened upon Ariston's store in Chelsea. I went in, spoke with Theo and made an appointment to discuss what he could do for me. Not only did he listen to all my crazy ideas (and look at each of the pictures that I brought with me) but he also provided me a sample that very day! (My other florist wanted to wait until 8 weeks before the wedding). He was able to perfectly translate my vision! When a bridesmaid dress disaster forced me to change my colors just a few weeks before the wedding -- Theo was not only flexible but he insisted on making a new sample for me so that I could see exactly what I was getting. In addition, I was very picky about my bouquet and Theo managed to make the perfect one for me! I can't say enough good things about Ariston -- they are creative, trustworthy and can make a beautiful day for you regardless of your budget.
