Perfect Choice

We could not be more thrilled with the flowers Lori provided for our daughter's wedding! From the very beginning, she listened carefully to our vision and brought it to life with stunning arrangements that were exactly what we had hoped for. Every detail was perfect, and the flowers added so much beauty and warmth to an already special day. Lori's talent, professionalism, and care were evident throughout the entire process. We cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Lori, for helping make the wedding unforgettable.

Beautiful Floral Arrangements & Top Notch Customer Service

Lori and the team at Cress Florals were absolutely incredible! From start to finish, Lori went above and beyond to make my wedding day unforgettable with the most stunning floral arrangements. Despite me being out of town, Lori made the process seamless by accommodating a remote floral sample viewing, which I deeply appreciated. She was so flexible and gracious about some last-minute changes I requested just weeks before the wedding. She went above and beyond to accommodate me and I really appreciated that.

Her responsiveness and helpfulness were unmatched, and the bouquets and arrangements she created were beyond BEAUTIFUL—truly a dream come true! Every detail was thoughtful and exceeded my expectations. I can’t recommend Lori and Cress Florals enough to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and professional florist.

Thank you, Lori, for bringing my vision to life so perfectly!

breathtaking florals!!!

Lori is incredible!!!!! People are still telling us that our florals and chuppah from our Oct 2024 wedding at Midtown Loft and Terrace were some of the most beautiful they've ever seen. She and her team are absolute professionals. We met with them over zoom to go over our vision and colors, and then we got to go into her studio to look at actual samples of the centerpieces and bouquets. When I say that my jaw dropped when I first saw the arrangements, I mean it. Everything from the choice of colors, flowers, vases, candles etc. was so well thought out. On the day of, she and her team set everything up in advance, and everything looked fresh and perfect. Lori even came to the hotel where I was getting ready to personally deliver bouquets to me and my bridesmaids, and the boutonnieres to the groomsmen!

When we walked into our venue for the first time on the wedding day, it was breathtaking. If you want stunning florals that will create a magical wedding of your dreams, hire Lori Cress Florals!!
