Steve and his team were amazing!! We went to him as we’d known him for some time, but never did we expect such an amazing turnout with the flowers. They definitely exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend them for your event. Thank you, Steve!!

Wedding experience
Especially For You was so easy to work with! They brought our vision to life and helped us do this within our budget. After coming to set up in the morning on a day that was expecting severe thunderstorms, they went above and beyond to make our outdoor decorations still work. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend to all!
Steve and his team were wonderful from start to finish of our planning journey!!!! My brother used EFY for his wedding and they did a wonderful job, but I was even more impressed when I had the opportunity to work with them myself for my own wedding. Steve was helpful, consultative, and not in the slightest bit pushy. He really listened to what we were wanting and worked with us to create something beautiful within the confines of our budget. His suggestions were extremely helpful and we decided to take all of his advice and recommendations! I should also note that especially for what we received I feel EFY provides SO much value for their offering with no compromise to quality. In particular I was blown away by the swags they created for my ceremony arch and the garlands for my sweetheart and guest tables. They were very full and beautiful. We also had flowers added to our cake and it was so full and beautifully done and didn't break the bank. It truly made a huge difference! Steve also helped our vision come to life by suggesting bows for our aisle to spruce it up as a low cost option that really made a huge difference! Steve was always very honest with what flowers worked best at a particular time of the year and wasn't afraid to share alternatives with difference prices to help our budget extend further. EFY was punctual and helped in setting up our florals including our tables with garlands and candles exactly as we instructed them with no issues. EFY is trusted by my entire family and has now become our designated family florist!

Steve was an absolute joy to work with! He listened to my ideas and knew exactly what I wanted. The day of my wedding I was completely elated when I saw the arrangements from all the bouquets, centerpieces and ceremony flowers. He also did a beautiful job on my bouquet with arranging the memory pictures of my loved ones who had passed. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

Fantastic Wedding Florist!
Especially for You Florist in Freehold, NJ put together the most beautiful flowers for my wedding day! My bridal bouquet and bridesmaid's bouquet were more beautiful than I could have imagined. The floral arrangements at our wedding venue were the cherry on top! Marlene was so great to work with and met with me and person several times to make sure we had all of the details right. The day of the wedding they delivered all of the flowers on time to my house, the church, and the venue, and set everything up perfectly! Marlene even dropped by in person to Congratulate me on my special day!!

What a magnificent time we had working with the Especially For You family and team. Truly, they exceeded our expectations and were so supportive. It’s not every day you choose a vendor and are blown away. This happened here and I’ll forever be grateful. The Bouquets, boutonnieres, and Table arrangements were stunning! Thank you for everything.

Best florist in the universe!!!!!!
Don’t even think about going anywhere else for flowers. Steve did such an amazing job on my wedding flowers. From my bouquet and my bridal parties bouquets to the custom pocket squares and centerpieces and my custom crown that I got a thousand compliments on, it was 1000000% exactly what I wanted from the start. It was like especially for you tapped into my brain and plucked out my thoughts. I honestly could not be happier with the service they provided or the flowers themselves. They are all so warm and welcoming I feel like I have friends for life. I will never use another florist. I cannot wait until I have another reason to get some flowers from them!!!

Great florist perfect for your wedding
I couldn’t recommend Especially for You more for your wedding! Both Marlene and Steve were super helpful with helping me create my vision of floral arrangements for my wedding day. Also even after our meeting I wanted to add some pieces to my venue and they were very accommodating to add the beautiful arrangements! I wish I had more pictures of the beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, and flowers on the railings of my wedding venue but I do highly recommend Especially for you and I will definitely use them again!

I did not have to worry about a single things when it came to the flowers and my centerpieces on my wedding day. They made everything go so smoothly and it looked incredible. I am not one who knows much about flowers, but they picked the perfect flower for the groomsmen boutonniere and made both our church and reception look perfect!

Amazing flowers and customer service
I could not be more happy with how my wedding flowers turned out! Honestly, it was the easiest most convenient experience of the whole wedding process. She was so helpful in helping me to find and get exactly the look i was going for within my budget. All of the other places i went to tried to pressure me into doing the extravagant expensive options and showed me things way out of my budget. Here, i was able to explain to her what I wanted and she helped me attain it while staying at a reasonable price point. I highly recommend Especially For You Florist! I couldn't have been happier with the outcome :)

Simply amazing!!
I cannot say thank you enough to Especially For You Florist and Gift Shop for creating and providing me with the most beautiful wedding flowers. Marlene and her expert team are truly incredible! I always enjoyed meeting with Marlene and discussing and creating my vision for our wedding. She made me feel like family! I knew I wanted my bridal flowers to pop and provide vibrant color in our color scheme. Marlene and her team exceeded my expectations! EFY added personal touches that took the flowers to the next level by creating cascades, adding custom colors, and using the lace from my dress in my bouquet. The bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and centerpieces / wedding decor flowers were all delivered timely and professionally and set up happened seamlessly. If you want to work with the best and get the best in your wedding day flowers, you need to book with Especially For You Florist and Gift Shop.

Look no further for your florist, EFY is it!!
I can not say enough good things about working with Steve at EFY Florist! I had my initial meeting a year prior to our wedding. However, by the time our big day got closer my vision changes and without hesitation we were able to make multiple adjustments to our original plan. Steve helped make my vision of romantic, green & white floral come alive. He did this all while staying under our budget! That’s what we loved most about working with Steve, he worked with us every step of the way, only trying to help us save money, not spend more then we needed. We had a unique situation because we were getting married in the same room our reception would be in. We had a floral arch set up for the ceremony and needed it move it for our reception. Steve was able to come back later in the evening to set up our sweetheart table after the ceremony!!

Absolutely loved everything about working with EFY for our Wedding!
Marlene was an absolute pleasure to work with! EFY made our Wedding flower visions come to life and it’s clear that Marlene has such a passion for what she does. EFY had created quite a few arrangements for us for church and our venue (mixture of both high and low), bridesmaid and flower girl bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, flowers for the Blessed Mother and above all, created the most unbelievable bridal bouquet I have ever seen. The quality and color of the flowers were stunning and Marlene even incorporated rosary beads I had provided in the bouquet and tuned out incredibly beautiful. Marlene was so kind and patient and extremely understanding even when we had to push back our original wedding date. Delivery of the flowers to my house, church & venue were extremely timely as well. We also used EFY for our rehearsal dinner & for my bridal shower and were also extremely satisfied. We cannot recommend EFY enough – thank you to all!!

The Best Florist
Steve and Especially for You were amazing to work with. All of our flowers were so beautiful. In our first consultation he took detailed notes about what we did and didn't want. I trusted his judgement on what flowers would be best, and that was the best call. Not to mention the fact that the flowers lasted in a vase for almost a month after the wedding. He delivered on time and was flexible to add greens for our centerpieces we didn’t think we needed until a few days before. He even was able to point me in the right direction of something I thought I wanted for my centerpieces based on a picture. This florist is a definite must use!

Absolutely GORGEOUS flowers!!
My husband and I got married a few weeks ago and we had the privilege of working with Especially For You with Steve as our florist. From the very start Steve was responsive, kind, accommodating, knowledgeable, and professional. He truly listened to the vision that I had for my wedding, and he made it into something more beautiful than I ever could have imagined!! I nearly cried when I saw my bouquet. I had a very colorful fall scheme and Steve was so enthusiastic about my colors. He worked so hard to put each color together to look absolutely stunning. My wedding guests were in awe of how beautiful the flowers were! We had 21 tables and Steve made every centerpiece absolutely perfect as well as ceremony decor, welcome sign florals, place card table arrangements, bouquets and corsages. His prices are extremely reasonable and he was open to working with me to meet my budget. My wedding truly would not have been the same without Steve and Especially For You. If you are looking for a florist, do yourself a favor and meet with Steve or anyone else at EFY for your wedding!!!

Steve did an outstanding job, as expected! All of the flower arrangements that were put together for my wedding looked absolutely beautiful! He was so accommodating, delivering flowers to multiple locations, and in such a timely fashion! He's worked his magic on a few different occasions for my in-laws, and will be working his magic again in under a year at my sister-in-law's wedding. I'll be sure to choose him for any of my future floral needs!

I have been using Especially For You florist for 14 years. Their work is amazing! We had a nautical theme for our wedding and I wanted to tie that theme into our flowers as well.

I would highly recommend Especially For You florist for your wedding, or any of your floral needs!

Would use over and over again!
My husband has been getting me flowers from this florist since we began dating in High School. For our wedding, it was a no brainer on where to go. as they had been a part of our love story from the start. We made an appointment and Marlene and her team were able to work with our budget and give me the exact feel I wanted. I showed Marlene some photos I liked of floral arrangements and explained the color scheme and the feel I wanted and EFY took care of the rest. I trusted EFY 100% to make my floral arrangements reflect a classy fall rustic wedding and they delivered. I went in to drop off some extra material for my bridesmaid's bouquets to be wrapped in and the EFY staff told my husband not to worry about the colors for the boutonnieres because they had a vision, their vision was PERFECT. The day of the wedding Marlene and her team set up everything and were so sweet and almost invisible while my girls and I got prepped, everything from the arbor to the centerpieces to the bouquets were gorgeous. So many people asked where my bouquet was from because it was simply stunning. I would recommend EFY to everyone they made the process stress free and affordable for my husband and I. EFY is a wonderful group of people who are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and know how make a bride happy. Thank you for everything!

Especially for ME!
Being a destination wedding, Especially For You was invaluable to me! They helped me choose the flowers and the colors to my specific liking. The colors were so intensely beautiful!! The wedding party loved their flowers. Delivery was a huge help and very prompt. Professional business, but made me feel like I was the most important client they had. Highly recommend!!

All the flowers for our wedding came out perfect. I had given Marlene two pictures of what I was thinking about but they were in artificial flowers. I was amazed that she was able to create what I had in mind with fresh flowers. They all came our fantastic! I would recommend this florist.

Our entire floral experience was awesome! I only had colors in mind that I wanted for our wedding flowers when we first met with Steve and he and his team at Especially for You created the perfect florals for our wedding. The staff was extremely easy to work with, made changes when we requested them, and created gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces that were reasonable priced! We recieved many compliments on our wedding day florals and would recommend Especially for You to anyone.

Especially for you made the most beautiful bouquets, boutineers, and flower crown for our December wedding. They made everything exactly how we envisioned it, and went out of their way to provide exceptional service. They were responsive to all of our calls and emails, and I cannot rave about them enough. Thank you for all of the beautiful work that you did to make our wedding perfect!

We could not be more pleased with the way our flowers came out! From the bouquets to the center pieces to the flowers down the aisle everything was better than we expected. The prices are amazing and you get more than you pay for. At first we were a little nervous because the price was so great that the flowers might be sub par, but we were SO wrong! Marlene was wonderful to work with and looked at every little detail from the various pictures we showed her. She took bits from each one and created something better than what was in my head. I won't go anywhere else to get flowers again and would 110% recommend Especially For You Florist to anyone!

I am so happy to have used Especially For You Florist for my wedding! Everyone here was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, especially Marlene. My wedding was 11/4 and the flowers I wanted were out of season, but she went out of her way to find them and keep them preserved until my wedding day! When everything arrived, the bouquets were even more beautiful than I could have imagined, so plush and French wrapped in a delicate sheer ribbon, and the corsages and boutonnieres coordinated beautifully. Although my wedding was small and intimate and I didn't order a ton of flowers, I was treated like I was a top customer. I highly recommend this florist and will gladly work with them again in the future!

I would use this florist over and over again! We had one little hiccup when my flowers and bridesmaids flowers got delivered to the house and the flowers were supposed to be dark purple and they were bright pink! We called Espically for you and they found a florist in Princeton that had the flowers that we were supposed to have, they came back picked up the flowers and returned in a half hour with the right flowers!! Everything turned out beautiful!

I can't even begin to describe how incredibly happy I was with all of my wedding flowers! My family has used Especially For You for years so it was an easy choice to use them for my wedding day. I met with Marlene early in my wedding planning process without having a set idea of what I wanted. I gave her my color scheme and a few pictures and knew I could trust her and her team to make my somewhat vague vision come to life! Not only did she help me choose beautiful flowers but she offered comparable, more affordable substitutes to some of the pictures I showed her.
I was so thrilled when my flowers arrived on the morning of my wedding. My bridesmaids loved them just as much as I did. Our centerpieces and ceremony flowers were equally beautiful. I'm so glad I put my trust in Marlene and let her use her creativity to bring everything to life. She truly is the expert and Especially For You 100% exceeded my expectations. Marlene even made a point to come and find me before our reception began to wish me and my husband congratulations and ensure I was happy with everything. You just don't find that type of personalized customer service anymore. It's little things like that that I will remember most from my wedding day and one of the reasons why I highly recommend using Especially For You.

This review is a little late coming but not due to hope wonderful my flowers came out for my wedding in September! My family has been going to Especially for you for our flowers for years so when I got engaged I knew exactly where I would turn to for all of my wedding flowers. Marlene was helpful from our very first consultation.. she took the time to ask all the details of my wedding to see how my flowers would fit in with the overall decor and venue. The day of the wedding the flowers were delivered perfectly on time and they were more beautiful then I could ever have imagined!! The amount of compliments I got on my bouquet is unbelievable!! My husband and I were beyond thrilled with our flowers from Especially for you!!

I can't say enough great things about Marlene and the staff at Especially For You Florist. Everyone there is so nice and easy to work with. Anytime I had a question I just called and someone was able to help me. My flowers where beautiful!! To this day my Mom and I still talk about how beautiful everything looked. When I show people my pictures they say the same thing. I gave Marlene a picture of the bouquet that I wanted and what she put together was perfect. I will definitely use Especially For You again for any future floral needs I might have.

Steve and the staff at Especially for You Flowers and Gifts are wonderful! Especially for You was my wedding day florist for my wedding on 10/25/15, and I am still receiving compliments about how beautiful all the bouquets, boutonnières, and arrangements were! Steve was very professional, and even scheduled appointment time with me after business hours to accommodate my busy schedule. On the day of the wedding, he delivered everything promptly and with plenty of time to spare! Steve and his staff make choosing your wedding flowers one of the easiest wedding tasks to complete. Overall, Especially for You was an excellent vendor whom we will use again and again for various events!

Steve was wonderful to work with. I went in telling him the color scheme I was looking for and what kind of budget I had, and he did the rest of the work. His recommendations and final product were perfect and exactly what I had in mind. I was happy that the final price was very reasonable (I only wanted flowers that were in season). We got so many compliments on how the bouquets and centerpieces looked. I was very happy with Steve's work, and I would definitely go back to this florist.

Steve is the best! I wanted really unique flowers for my wedding. I wanted a lot of different texture and he had plenty of ideas including more affordable options which was so helpful. I had requested some harder to find, or out of season flowers, but he found them. I received so many compliments on our unique flowers at the wedding. Steve did a great job setting up as well. If you want beautiful flowers and a really nice, attentive person to work with, Steve is your guy!

Steve Ragola was so attentive and responded in a timely manner to our every request. He listened and followed through with every detail including the type, texture and color of the flowers we wanted. The theme was rustic and he designed arrangements that reflected that theme. We received numerous compliments about how beautiful the flowers were from wedding guests. When I saw the brides/bridesmaids bouquets for the first time I cried tears of joy. Steve is a true professional whom I would strongly recommend to friends and family.

We worked with Marlene in the Freehold store. She is amazing and a true professional. We told her idea and let her create the bouquets and center pieces. We were not disappointed. The flowers were gorgeous. We could not have asked for prettier flowers. I would recommend them to everyone for all your flower needs.

It was a pleasure working with Especially For You Florist, especially Steve, on flowers for my wedding. Steve was able to completely pull together my vision, included everything I wanted, and worked within my budget. Flowers was one of the first things I got done for my wedding and by working with Steve I got excited about planning the rest of my wedding. Especially For You went out of their way to make sure my wedding flowers were everything I wanted, all the arrangements looked beautiful in pictures, and I received several comments about our beautiful centerpieces throughout the night. I would highly recommend them for all occasions.

Steve was very helpful and quite patient. Especially when going over all the flowers and options.

Steve was simply AMAZING! Not only did he provide me with beautiful non-rose bouquets, but he decorated my gazebo, provided me with non-floral center pieces (which he put together himself at the venue), and he dropped my favors and other things at the venue for me. He is defiantly a jack of all trades and can provide more then just beautiful flowers. All of which he does at an amazing price!

I was blown away by my gorgeous bouquet. It was exactly what I dreamed of. It had me in tears to see how gorgeous it was. All the other flowers were just as beautiful. The quality of the flowers were amazing and fresh and smelt so nice. I also asked Steve to put a locket of my grandfather in my bouquet and he pinned it so perfectly in the perfect spot. He was so nice and sweet when I met with him in the planning. He spent a lot of time with us. I would definitely recommend!!!!!!!

Steve worked with our family to provide beautiful flower arrangements and bouquets to coordinate with an outdoor spring wedding. He went above and beyond in ensuring our satisfaction, even with last minute requests.

Marlene was amazing during our visits with her to choose flowers for our wedding. My husband and I know nothing about flowers and we did not know what we really wanted when we met with her for the first time. She guided us through pictures and seasonally appropriate floral ideas. Whenever I asked questions Marlene was so kind and also really honest. She made suggestions about what would work during July but also kindly steered us away from things that wouldn't. She also has a long standing relationship with our church in Freehold, which made the day so easy for everyone. The bouquets were stunning, the corsages were beautiful, and the men's boutonnières were classy and different. The price is right and we are happy that we didn't break the bank over flowers for one day. We are so happy to have chosen Especially For You florist for our wedding.

Steve from Especially For You is one of my favorite wedding vendors. Hands down. He did the flowers for my friend's wedding in March and I went straight to him for my wedding. He is SO nice, knowledgeable, patient and the flowers were PHENOMENAL. My wedding guests were blown away by all of the flowers especially my bouquet, centerpieces and the wedding cake topper. After we initially worked out some ideas for what I wanted, my mom wanted to add all of these extras and he made me feel like it was no problem and accommodated her requests. On the day of the wedding, he made several stops within our hotel and to our ceremony site to drop everything off. My mom was so thrilled with how he spent time with her on the day of the wedding to go over care of the flowers. Everyone wanted to take the centerpieces home and unfortunately there wasn't enough to go around! Can't express enough how happy I was with everything he did.

I cannot express enough gratitude and amazement in how "Especially For You Florist" handled my wedding. From the beginning, Marlene and her shop stood apart from the rest. I am not a local bride, so I had contacted the shop asking them if I could email a picture of what I wanted to get a price quote. Many shops rejected the offer, but "Especially For You" accommodated my request right away.
From that moment forward, everything was fantastic. Marlene was so fun to talk floral details with, and she was very receptive to everything. I never hesitated to contact her with anything, as she was always so helpful.
Flash forward to the day of the wedding. The flowers were STUNNING. I could not believe how she was able to exceed my expectations. Everything was delivered on time, and everything was so beautiful. This was definitely one of my favorite vendors for the wedding. Oh, and it didn't hurt that the value was incredible. Go with this florist for your wedding...you won't regret it!

Our flowers for our wedding came out beautiful. The bouquets and floral arrangements at the reception were stunning. There was a bit of a mix up with the labeling of the boutinerres and corsages. In the end everything worked out and came together beautifully.

I posted this on the wrong board! Sorry it took so long!
I approached Steve within a month of our wedding.... Talk about last minute! I had a vision that I just couldn't make come to life. Steve sat with me and went over every last detail, gave some great advice and suggestions, and gave me a price quote within a few days. The price for everything that I had wanted was affordable! After that, he went to his supplier and brought back some samples. We sat for at least a half hour trying different things with different flowers. I left feeling awesome about my flowers and knew that it was going to be great! Working with Steve was the BEST choice I made.
The flowers were delivered to my venue just as planned. My expectations were blown away. I LOVED the flowers! Steve had knocked it right out of the park! Everyone commented on how awesome the flowers looked! I was one happy bride! I plan to use Steve and his team for all my floral needs in the future! I even have a great friend of mine using him for her wedding too!

Steve at Especially For You Florist in Monroe is an absolutely wonderful person to work with. He’s kind, patient, knowledgeable and flexible. He really cared to get to know me like no other vendor did - and I had great team of vendors. Steve was always my favorite vendor to visit.
Steve is great because he was happy to work within the budget I gave him. He came up with plenty of ways to save money. He never treated me like I didn’t know what I was talking about, and he never pressured me to go over budget. He always listened and treated me with respect. He was very responsive to my emails and we figured out most of the details that way. He even sent me example pictures of certain species of roses when I started getting picky about getting the color just right.
And of course the important part: His work is gorgeous! He created everything exactly the way I wanted despite my not always being able to describe what I wanted! :) He always listened to my thoughts and then showed me how he could make it happen. He’s really talented and creative. I ordered a ring corsage for my Mother-In-Law and she was blown away by it. No one had ever seen anything like it! It was a big hit. He used a hidden water vial to keep all the hydrangeas from wilting in the August heat and they looked gorgeous all day long! The colors were fantastic. I loved the wire wrapping for the groom’s boutonniere too. Everything was absolutely perfect. I could not possibly have been happier!
Thank you, Steve!

This was one of the best vendors I chose. We looked at several florists, but most were always trying to upscale the flowers or trying to talk you into flowers they liked. Marlene was absolutely amazing from the first time we met with her. She truly embraced our vision and even created template bridesmaid bouquets at a meeting so we can play with different arrangements. When it came to time to coordinating with another vendor, she was very professional and took the extra time to make sure the flowers would complement the centerpiece. She was able to incorporate my fabric and the girls fabric as well as matching ribbon for the moms. The day of the wedding she arrived early to the house, the church arrangements were beautiful, and the centerpieces at the reception hall were gorgeous. If there was one vendor I was not nervous about the day of, it would be the florist. Great communication and always there for a last minute phone call. Great value and will work to stay in your budget. Awesome local vendor!

Marlene is phenomenal! She was extremely knowledgeable and helped me pick out flowers for the tables and everyone in the wedding party. I loved my bridal bouquet. She really takes the time to get to know you so that she can pick the flowers that suit your personality. She is friendly, warm, and supportive. The value is excellent - you really can't beat Especially For You's prices. (I compared them to other florists, and they were by far the best value.)

We are very happy we chose Especially for You for our wedding. Marlene was so sweet, helpful, and honest, helping us choose the best flowers for our beach wedding. She was also very accommodating with our special requests, such as including a prayer book in my bouquet and creating floating flower centerpieces. The delivery on the day of was very prompt, which alleviated any stress, and all the flowers lasted beautifully through the whole night. Everything looked absolutely gorgeous! We couldn't have been happier and would definitely recommend.

This florist is not only very affordable but they give you their utmost attention and are very detail oriented! I would recommend Especially For You, to anyone with an upcoming wedding, event or just to pick up a bouquet for someone special! :)

Marlene was wonderful to work with. I went to her with a very tight budget for my wedding flowers and she worked to meet it! She helped me choose flowers in my color scheme that wouldn't go over what I could afford. Plus, she delivered the flowers to my church, reception and parents home! My flowers were beautiful - classy and elegant. I would highly recommend her to brides looking for a great value.

I used Especially for You for my bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets and the groom and groomsman boutonnieres. My sister used them for her wedding and I went with her when she had her consultation and Marlene was so great I decided to use her too. She understood my vision perfectly. My flowers came out absolutely gorgoues. I am so happy we used Especially for You and would recommend them to any Bride. Marlene works magic with flowers!!!

Steve did a wonderful job with the flowers for my wedding, and he was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was never pushy and was completely honest in telling me what to include, or what to pass on.
The first time we met with him, he sat with us for over an hour, showing pictures and offering suggestions on what flowers to use, and how to design the centerpieces - he is very knowledgeable. I gave him an idea of what I wanted and everything turned out better than I could have imagined. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and we received many compliments!
I highly recommend Especially For You Florist. I enjoyed working with Steve, he was one of my favorite vendors!

We were beyond pleased with Steve and his crew with everything they did for our wedding! My husband has been sending me flowers through Especially For You for years and it seemed only right that we use them for our big day. Every "idea picture" I showed Steve - he more than delivered on. He took the time to sit with us a little closer to the wedding to show me some examples of everything he was doing for us and gave me options and let me have as much or as little input as I wanted. I was completely blown away when I saw everything that he did for our ceremony and reception. I could not have dreamed it better. I would without a doubt recommend Steve and his shop to anyone who wants great service and absolutely GORGEOUS work that will stay in your budget. I cannot thank Especially For You enough!!!!!!!!!

Marleen at the Freehold location was a dream to work with. The flowers that were delivered (on time, even early!) were more beautiful than I could have ever expected! My bridal bouquet was elegant, exquisite and exceptional!! The bridesmaid bouquets were stunning! Everyone is still talking about the centerpieces at our wedding. Marleen's knowledge and expertise helped me have the perfect flowers for our perfect wedding day!!
I highly, highly recommend Especially for you Florist!!

The flowers they provided for my wedding were beautiful. I was so unsure what I wanted and was more than pleased with their patience and suggestions. The flowers were so fresh they lasted for 2 weeks after my wedding! Beautiful!! I highly recommend them.
