Nick and Greenpoint Floral was the best random thing to happen to our wedding. I say random because we had planned to order flowers online from Costco and another site and to do most of the flowers ourselves. Our venue was Greenpoint Loft and after a visit we wandered into Greenpoint Floral just to pick up some soil. After speaking with Nick about our vision the magic began. He has a great way of explaining things where he’s educating you but making you feel good about the questions you’re asking. Never feels like he’s selling you anything you don’t need. And he seems to genuinely enjoy sharing his passion for flowers. He never tries to force you into changing your vision for any reason, and makes you examples right on the spot. He actually took the initiative to recommend changes that would save us money but let us maintain our vision.

We went from planning to do all DIY but the Chuppa to doing all Nick and only the centerpieces DIY. We’re so glad we made these choices. Doing the centerpieces ourselves was really fun and he made sure we had enough and priced out each stem for us! He gave us tons of tips along the way to ensure we would be successful.

He was quick to communicate via email and every time we met he spent almost an hour with us. I was blown away by the Chuppa flowers and the flowers he picked for my centerpieces were exactly what I envisioned. I still spent a lot less than the average cost of flowers in New York and had more than I imagined. I took home a Chuppa piece and made bouquets for tons of people, dried my bouquet, and pressed a bunch, too. I’m so happy to preserve these — one my my favorite parts of our wedding. Thank you, Nick, for everything!!! We can’t wait for you to see the pro photos! We’ll be coming by in the future for houseplants and just to say hi!

We just happened to walk into Greenpoint Floral a month before our wedding and we are so glad we did. Nick was extremely helpful in talking us through flowers for our wedding that would meet our budget. He showed us examples of what he could do and then how we could save money. We do not live in the neighborhood so after we left all communications were via email and phone. He even asked for a picture of my dress to make sure my flowers didn't overpower the dress. I would never have thought of that!

The day of the wedding, Nick delivered flowers to both our hotel and the venue. The bouquets were gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. The flowers for the venue were simple, which is also what we wanted. I was so happy that Nick took my emails and was able to "see" my vision of our wedding flowers. It was just a whim that we walked into Nick's shop and I am so glad we did!

We (Steve and Kim) had our wedding on 10/7/12 and used Greenpoint Floral for all flower arrangements and we could not be happier. My centerpieces were so gorgeous that a guest from another wedding tried to steal one LOL!!! Nick did a fantastic job with all of the bouquets and was honest about what would and would not work and provided wonderful alternatives that worked out better than I could have imagined. Being a Greenpoint native my family has always used Greenpoint Floral for various occasions and I completely understand why. A big thank you to Nick and his staff for adding to out wonderful day!
