    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!

    Cress florals is just absolutely the best!

    Lori and her team from Cress Florals are a dream come true!! Lori herself is so sweet and understanding and beyond patient. She really cares about her clients, listening to all the different opinions and personalities and just is so gracious. She really wants everyone to feel at home when they come to visit her and building relationships is just so natural. I told Lori over the phone what I had in mind and sent some inspo pics, my mom came in who is as picky as ever, Lori came out with our sample center piece and in one shot, she nailed it. We all were in awe!! From all my center pieces, the royal staircase, my incredible lucite chuppah with floating orchids, my bouquet, the girls bouquet, flower girl crowns, boutineers, the escort card arrangement, cocktail hour, Lori just absolutely exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be happpier with the outcome day of! I am still getting compliments to this day. Lori, you and your team are machines and handle all clients with so much love!!!! I promise if you hire Cress Florals, you will be so in LOVE!!!!!

    Amazing Florals, Perfect Decor

    From the moment I spoke to Lori over the phone, I had a feeling she would be our wedding florist. As a first time bride, you have questions, ideas, a vision for your big day. Lori carefully listened and helped us make our vision come to life. Our florals were perfect and just what we needed and wanted. We felt understood, grateful for Cress Floral Decorator’s professionalism and willingness to work with us. We highly recommend them! You won’t regret it.

    Lori and the entire Cress Floral team absolutely exceeded my expectations. Lori was very attentive and listened to every detail that I envisioned and my flowers were beyond gorgeous. Everyone adored the flowers and there were numerous social media posts dedicated just to them. Would recommend to anyone and will most definitely be using again for a future event!!

    A Beautiful & Classic NYC Wedding

    We had a fantastic wedding because of the beautiful designs of Lori and team. The bouquets, the arc, and the entire room was exactly what we envisioned and the team brought our vision to life. We were so happy with how everything came out and it was a pleasure working with Lori and team. They truly know their craft and are professionals. We are so happy that we went with Lori and team and could not have imagined our wedding without them!

    Beautiful Flowers

    Lori and Cress Floral Decorators were great! When we got married at the Central Park Boathouse they gave us an option of 4 florists and we are so happy we worked with Lori! She worked within our budget and our flowers and chuppah were amazing! About a month before the wedding, I decided I wanted my bouquet to look different and Lori was very accomodating and helped me figure out what sort of bouquet I wanted. I would highly recomend them!

    Say YES to Cress

    Lori & Tom from Cress Floral went above and beyond, and really worked with us to fit exactly what we were looking for within our budget. With them and their teams expertise, we were able to create the ceremony stage of our dreams with an English garden which we were also able to repurpose for our sweetheart table. You can see and feel the love and passion they have for their craft and their floral brought tears to our eyes.

    Cress Florist Review

    Having our wedding at the Central Park Boathouse, we were given a list of 3 options for florists to use. We are SO happy we went with Lori & Cress Floral Decorators! Lori was beyond accommodating during our 2 rescheduled wedding dates, walked us through everything, worked with our budget and needs, and overall was just extremely friendly and a delight to work with! We are so thankful & would recommend using our florist wholeheartedly, especially if you are a fellow Boathouse bride!

    Boathouse Wedding

    My husband and I got married at the Boathouse in Central Park on March 19 and Cress Florals is one of their recommended florists — all I can say is — Brides, Grooms, look no further!! Lori and the whole team at Cress Florals was absolutely amazing and a dream to work with!!! They took care of us from start to finish, made incredible recommendations for specific types of flowers, and knew exactly what to do at The Boathouse since they work there all the time, we did not have to worry about a single thing. Our center pieces were the most stunning and like nothing I had ever seen before. I may have driven her a little crazy but Lori, you made my dreams come true with the arch of my dreams!!! I cannot thank you enough!! I hope we can work together again in the future.

    Love working with Tommy and Lori!

    Cress Floral Decorators always makes events beautiful! I've known them for a long time, so I was excited to ask them to do my wedding. Lori was extremely accommodating with my budget and came up with great ideas for our centerpieces and my bouquet. My bouquet had beautiful burgundy heart roses and greenery spilling out.

    I'll try to remember to post professional photos, but here's a sneak peak of my beautiful bouquet!

    Fabulous Florist

    Lori Cress was such a pleasure to work with and was so understanding with our wedding plans (even after having to reschedule 4x due to COVID!). Besides being so easy to work with, our flowers came out GORGEOUS! Would highly recommend working with Cress flowers!

    Kind, Professional, and Talented

    Lori is a true gem. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, patient and so talented. I knew nothing about flowers, only the aesthetic that I wanted for my wedding, and she was able to deliver it and go beyond my expectations. She helped me source the best and affordable tables and chairs, and managed the rental picks ups/drop offs completely autonomously. It was so seamless. When I changed what I wanted for my bridal bouquet last minute, she didn't hesitate and delivered the most unbelievable bouquet. She was truly a pleasure to work with and I would 100% work with her again and recommend her to friends and family!

    5-Star, Above and Beyond, Do Not Hesitate!

    I cannot say enough good things about Lori and Tom Cress of Cress Floral Decorators. Together with their team, they go above and beyond to make their clients truly happy. They put their hearts and souls into their work, and I would recommend Cress to any bride in the NY area - without a single hesitation.

    From the intro phone call with Lori, my mom and I knew we wanted to work with her. She knows her product and you can sense her passion for what she does. When we finally got to meet in person for the sample meeting, I felt like I had known Lori for years. It was amazing to have the chance to see samples of our centerpieces and bouquets in real life before the big day.

    About a month before my wedding, I had a total change of heart with my bouquet and some of the flower selections we had made months prior. Lori worked with me tirelessly to articulate my new vision. All I wanted was freesia, freesia, freesia - which was hard to get - but Lori and Tom made it happen.

    The day of my wedding I was absolutely floored when I saw my bouquet for the first time. I will never forget the moment that Lori hand-delivered my bouquet to me - and I could not have been happier.

    Lori and Tom also created a garland for the back of our getaway car and - oh my goodness - it was more than I ever imagined.

    While those two pieces were my favorite of the day, I also loved all the ceremony and reception florals. Everything Lori and Tom created was total perfection. Even more than that, they are so wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. They listen to you and never once do they try to upsell you. I have so much gratitude for Cress. Their priority is making their clients happy, and they certainly deliver.

    Thank you, Lori and Tom, for everything!

    Gorgeous, Fabulous, Beautiful!

    Wow!!!! Laurie and Tom AMAZED us and we can't say enough amazing things about them and their team! We did all of our planning via zoom meetings with Laurie, and she is incredible! My daughter was in NYC, I (MOB) was in Los Angeles, and Laurie was in their shop. My daughter's wedding flowers were over the top gorgeous everywhere in the venues! Laurie and her team did the flowers for both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding, and everything was even more gorgeous than we had hoped for! the centerpieces both nights were spectacular, the bridal bouquets were fabulous, and the arbor for the wedding ceremony far exceeded anything we had imagined! Laurie is wonderful to work with, and she totally understood my daughter's vision and turned it all into a reality! Can't recommend Laurie, Tom and Cress Floral enough! Thank you to an amazing team for making our daughter's dream come true!

    The best decision we ever made

    Choosing Cress Floral for our wedding was the best decision we ever made. Lori and team had done the flowers for my husband's brother's wedding and we just fell in love. Tom and Lori are the sweetest people. It's so refreshing to meet people that just love what they do. They were extremely professional and patient. The flowers came out beautifully. My husband and I were beyond pleased with Cress Floral. Trust me, you're in great hands if you choose them for your special day.

    Really made my Dream Wedding!

    Cress Floral made our wedding experience so so smooth and seamless, even in the middle of a pandemic! Lori's incredible eye for floral design really brought what I envisioned to life, and she was so honest, transparent, and creative during the entire process. Even though the pandemic left them short-staffed with so many other weddings and events on the books, Lori and her team found time to accommodate all of my questions and updates. They truly transformed my wedding reception venue, and I was in tears at how incredible the arrangements turned out. My guests were so impressed, and I truly feel like the flowers helped make my "dream wedding." I can't wait to get professional photos back to share with my review.
