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

I am born and raised on SI- Bernard is a family staple at this point- he did my moms wedding my aunts wedding and flowers throughout the years for multiple occasions. Irving created the most spectacular floating floral arrangements for my rehearsal dinner along with the most amazing floral centerpieces for my wedding!! The flowers are still alive after a week!!!

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!
