We used Simply Elegant for our March wedding and could not have been more pleased with Richard's work. From start to finish he was amazing! Flowers were really important to me, I think they add so much elegance to any event. I met with several florists and everyone told me that I what I wanted was really expensive and not within my budget. However, when I met with Richard he told me I could absolutely have what I wanted and worked with my budget. I was able to send him ideas and met with him a bunch of times to work everything out. He was always accomodating if I had questions or wanted to make changes. Everyone loved our tall cherry blossom centerpieces and our arrangement of different flowers for the low centerpieces. Also, my bouquet was perfection! I had been obssessed with having a hot pink mini calla lily bouquet since I got engaged and the one he made for be was so pretty! He is such a pro and has been in the business for so long, that he just puts your mind at ease. If you are working with him you know everything will be perfect! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Richard was such a pleasure to work with. He helped make my ideas come to life. He was courteous, affordable, punctual and very knowledgeable. My bouquets, boutineers, centerpieces and cake were decorated beautifully. He was great to work with and I will definitely use him again.

What else can I say but AMAZING!! Richard was truly one of my best vendors! He is so awesome to work with. I didn't know what I wanted when we first met. I had some ideas, but didn't know for sure what I wanted. He worked with me through it all; even brought a sample centerpiece to my catering hall so I could see it in the room! When he showed me the flowers he had though to use in the bridesmaids bouquets, I was not crazy about them. I showed him a picture of what I wanted, but was nervous because I wouldn't see them until the day of the wedding, well ne NAILED it!! Richard was so accommodating too. I got married the week after Hurricane Sandy, and two days after the snowstorm that followed. He called me frequently to ensure me that everything was going to work out. Everyone at the wedding commented on how gorgeous the flowers were at the wedding and church. I could not be happier with the way things turned out.

All I can say is I'm so happy we met with Richard, when Raphael from Wedding Connection recommended him to us. From the start he was very helpful and always a pleasure to deal with. When we looked at our samples about 3 weeks before the wedding we just fell in love with his flower selections. He really is very talented. Come our wedding day, Richard came early to the hotel to drop off our bouquets and everyone was blown away by how lovely they were. During the reception, when normally people don't really care about the centerpieces, people were actually fighting for it. The flowers looked fresh, lasted for a long time and very gorgeous. I'm so glad we chose Simply Elegant, the service, the value and quality is beyond amazing. Richard, thank you for being part of our day!

I got married on July 28th, 2012 at Jericho Terrace. With all my heart I’m giving Richard five stars. At first I wasn’t sure if he can meet my expectations, but he was more than I could ask for! The centerpieces were fantastic! The flowers were fresh and full of color, crystals were hanging down from the vase, the vase was filled with water and inside there was and orchid floating… they were just breathtaking. All the guests were amazed. He decorated the cake exactly the way I asked him. He met all my expectations. And the price was great too! We definitely got a lot more for the money with Richard than any other place we went to. It was a pleasure working with him! I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a professional, stress free and affordable flowers experience for their wedding or any other occasion!

Richard was wonderful and easy to work with. He made my floral vision become reality and I was so excited when I saw all the arrangements and bouquets.

Richard from simply elegant was much more than my florist. He helped me with many issues and questions I had. He made me feel like everything was going to be okay. That was exactly what happened my parents renewal of vows was incredible because the art work Richard created with the flowers was picture perfect. I found The value and price on arrangements was a gift because he was more than reasonable. Thanks again Richard you made our special event that much more with your talent and your incredible helpful personality. Grateful beyond words

Professional attention and personal caring. Rich created arrangements and set them up for our wedding. He prices were extremely reasonable and he patiently explained additional options to us (how peonies can really enhance a bridal bouquet, inexpensive bridesmaids florals, and boutanier options for the groomsmen, etc.) He adapted to our needs adding an additional centerpiece as well as hanging pompoms for us. He exceeded our expectations and communicated closely with us every step of the way. He was invaluable and we can recommend him without reservation.

Richard did a beautiful job on all my wedding flowers....everything about them was amazing and I absolutely loved the flowers that was put on the cake, I love bright and vibrant colors and I feel like the flowers represented me and my personality....every picture I have seen from my wedding makes me so happy, the center pieces were gorgeous and they really brightened up the room...I wouldn't change a thing about flowers and I'm glad I hired Richard as my florist..
All the Flowers were fresh and the centerpieces lasted for almost a week after the wedding.. My bouquet was beautifully done! and the pearls and crystals were a special touch!.. ( my bouquet is in my fridge and they still look gorgoues 2 weeks later)

Extremely helpful and friendly. The flowers were beautiful! Richard is very knowledgeable about his craft and I highly recommend him for any bride and groom!

I could not have asked for better service. Richard was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and was so easy to work with. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had and boy did I have a lot! He was very patient and I never felt rushed off the phone or in person.

Richard did such a beautiful job with my bouquet down to my centerpieces....my guests complimented days after.

All of my flowers were beautiful! Richard was very professional and put everything together exactly how I wanted it. I received many wonderful comments on the bouqets and centerpeices.
