    Beautiful flowers, great value

    Irving did a fantastic job with our wedding flowers. He incorporated the colors and types of flowers we requested, and the arrangements and quality of the flowers were great. I felt the price was quite reasonable.

    Amazing experience!

    We had an amazing experience with Flowers by Bernard and would absolutely recommend them for a wedding or special event! Irving was so nice and easy to work with, and everything that Flowers by Bernard created for us - floral arch, bouquets, centerpieces - was stunning!

    Beautiful Flowers, Great Price

    I would highly recommend this florist. The flowers were beautiful, and the price was great. I was a mature, 2nd time bride and did not want the traditional flowers. They worked with me. I got exactly what I wanted

    The most beautiful flowers!

    Flowers by Bernard is truly the best florist you could ever go with for your wedding, or any other occasion. Elissa and her team have an incredible creative vision. They will listen to your requests and use their experience and expertise to make your ideas come to life. When my husband and I walked into our wedding reception room, my jaw dropped. They managed to make a huge space feel intimate, romantic, and beautiful. Their care and attention to detail is one of a kind. They were the florist for my parents wedding, and it was so special to have them be the florist for my Husband and me. Their service and creativity are unmatched, as well as the quality and care of their flowers. They made our wedding day the most special, and beautiful day of our lives. Flowers by Bernard is the best of the best. We can’t thank them or recommend them highly enough!

    True Artists and Kindred Spirits

    Thank you to Elissa Carpenter and her Team at Flowers by Bernard on Hylan Blvd. The extraordinary flower arrangements you made for our wedding at Casa Belvedere, not only nailed the vision - they exceeded our expectations!

    Our tables had asymmetrical sprays of autumn bounty layered with bright and warm colors, textured greens and the off-beat addition of mixed fruits and kales to present a “Downton Abbey” meets “rustic harvest” presentation. The candelabras were rented from Flowers by Bernard, and we provided the gold compote bowls. The mix of different vessels (Elissa’s suggestion) gave both height and depth to the space.

    Our guests marveled over the beauty of these special (and unique) arrangements all night. The rooms were simply "alive" with color, depth and texture. The arrangements were incredibly rich and regal, yet relaxed and natural - a delicate balancing act that you executed with PERFECTION. It’s been a week, and our lucky friends and family who took home a piece claim they are still alive and enjoying them in their homes.

    We appreciate your service, professionalism, creative talent, attention to detail, quality of merchandise and genuine kindness as we co-created an unusual combination of elements that adorned our venue and paid the perfect homage to our personalities.

    You are true Artists and kindred spirits!

    It was truly our pleasure to work with you and design the flowers❤️❌⭕️❗️wishing you a lifetime of happiness😍

    Beautiful work for our Wedding

    We met with Elissa from Flowers by Bernard and she was absolutely wonderful! I was very unsure of what I was looking for because I am not huge into flowers to begin with but I wanted to make sure our wedding day was beautiful and well decorated. Elissa worked with me to make sure not only that the flowers chosen would fit our style, but that we remained within our budget. Elissa had samples to show us, gave us suggestions, and kept in touch the week of our wedding to make sure everything was in order.
    The day of the wedding, I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful the floral arrangements were!! I was so amazed by the work, I hardly wanted to put my bouquet down!
    At the end of the night, we had guests "arguing" about who got to take the table arrangements home.
    If you are looking for gorgeous floral arrangements on a budget, you must meet with Flowers by Bernard.

    Simply elegant

    Jo Ann at Flowers by Bernard gave me everything and more I could ever ask for for my wedding. She was very particular with everything from the details of my bouquet and the table arrangements, and girls bouquets. Everything was nothing but perfect. Worked with my budget to get me all that I asked for. Extremely satisfied with how everything turned out. i do not have all of my photos yet from the photographer, so I cannot show the table arrangements, however I have attached some photos from ceremony. Absolutely beautiful.

    Gorgeous Flowers at a VERY Reasonable Price

    We worked with Elissa for our 10/7 wedding. We can't rave enough about how gorgeous our flowers were, from the bouquets to the flower girl petals. We let her take the lead and were not disappointed. As far as flowers in the NY metro area go, they are extremely reasonably priced. Would highly recommend!

    At Flowers by Bernard we were lucky to work with Elissa, the daughter of Bernard. Elissa grew up in the business so it goes without saying she is extremely knowledgeable and capable. I didn’t want to micromanage the flowers, instead it was so nice to just trust her entirely and it paid off! Our flowers were so gorgeous! We did go over some inspiration via Pintrest and she did such a great job building off of these! Plus the flowers are so well arranged that they still looked good for a week after the event. Thank you!

    Thank you Natalie, it was a pleasure to work with you! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!!!!

    Irving was a pleasure to work with. He listened to our ideas and made them come to life. We were beyond satisfied when we saw our centerpieces in the ballroom. The candelabras were gorgeous and the roses and hydrangeas were beautiful. We definitely recommend Flowers by Bernard for your next event. You will not be disappointed.

    I have used Flowers by Bernard for several events, and as always they were outstanding for my wedding. Irving is incredibly accommodating throughout the planning process and is unbelievable at making your vision come to life with his arrangements! The reception looked so beautiful with fall arrangements with bright vibrant colors! The flowers in my bouquet even lasted over a week looking like they had for that day. I highly recommend Flowers by Bernard for any event!

    Words cannot express how happy I was choosing Flowers by Bernard for my wedding on October 7, 2016. I met up with Elissa twice and also communicated with her via phone and email. She was very helpful and creative. When she pulled random flowers and showed me what I had envisioned it was an easy choice to choose her as my florist. I had a low ceiling height for my wedding with limited lighting, but Elissa suggested adding an arch and let me tell you it opened up the room from dull and dark to elegant and classy. If you are looking for someone that can take your vision and make it into a reality you will get everything you dreamt of and more. Trust me you will be in good hands having Elissa to make your dreams come true. Thank you Flowers by Bernard for making everything go smoothly!

    We used flowers by Bernard ( the venues house vendor) because they knew the layout and quality of our venue. They listened to all that we wanted and did exactly as we asked and more. The bouquets, venue flowers, corsages and ceremony pieces were beautiful. Great prices and they definitely work within your budget.

    I used Flowers by Bernard for my wedding. Working with Irv from Flowers by Bernard was so easy. He listened to all of our ideas and created magic! My centerpieces and bouquets were so gorgeous -- rustic, yet glamorous and oh-so romantic! The chuppah incorporated the traditional birch trees, but with Irv's beautiful branch work. It was so lovely and unique! Great value for beautiful, professional work.

    The stellar team at Flowers by Bernard created beautiful altar arrangements and bouquets for my church wedding ceremony last month. They brought to life the exact garden-inspired look we had in mind. Elissa was a joy to work with and helped us pick in-season florals that would fit with our color palette. We especially loved the peach Campanella roses from Ecuador they used in the bridesmaid bouquets. Considering they delivered fabulous florals for my bridal shower also, we would recommend Elissa and her team for any special occasion.

    Jamie,
    Hope you are enjoying married life! We had a great experience working with you. Glad you loved the flowers.Hope to see you soon.
