Lori is amazing!

I had my wedding in Mar 2025 and a number of my friends recommended Lori to me. She merged with QG Florals in the midst of working with her but everything was seamless and she committed to everything she promised. I gave her a vague idea of what I was interested in. She asked for some picture samples of what we were interested in. From there, she brought everything together and gave us ideas to help complement my bridemaids' dress colors and work with our venue's style. She was truly magnificent to work with as she guided us thoroughly through the process. She gave us a sample viewing of the flowers - we were in awe! But on the day of, we were beyond impressed, Lori over-delivered beyond our expectations. I can't recommend Lori enough and her price-points are very reasonable.

A great choice!!

I had such a great experience with Lori and her team! Initially I was intimidated by choosing flowers for our wedding, not having much knowledge at all. I was connected with Lori and I immediately knew she would be a perfect fit. She was so kind, creative and reassuring in our initial discussions. Her and her team were flexible with meetings and every time we reached out we had a well thought out response very quickly. For our wedding day, everyone was punctual, friendly and supportive, everything came out absolutely amazing and they were hands down one of the easiest vendors we worked with. I cannot recommend them enough for your wedding day!

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!

Tasteful, refined, and efficient

Lori was wonderful to work with. She had experience with our venue and was able to recommend a gorgeous setup while sharing tips on how to repurpose certain displays as we moved around the space throughout the wedding day. I highly recommend her as she has top notch quality and taste. She was very responsive and flexible with our busy work schedules

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!!

Amazing service, expertise, and BEAUTIFUL end result

Working with Lori and the Cress Floral team was such an amazing decision. Lori was so accommodating to our budget and was able to understand our floral vision better than other florist that we talked to prior to booking. Once we booked, Lori hosted myself, the groom, and my mom at the floral studio to show us examples of the centerpieces and my bridal bouquet. It was such a fun experience and her team really brought our vision to life. Leading up to the wedding day, Lori made us feel so comfortable and confirmed the order. On wedding day, she was so accommodating to our schedule. Our guests RAVED about how gorgeous all of our centerpieces were. The photographer even mentioned how beautiful the bouquets were for myself and the bridesmaids. Cress really went above and beyond to make sure our vision aligned with our budget and to also provide gorgeous flowers and amazing service! Would highly recommend Lori and her team :)

Exceptional florist, beautiful design, kind people

From the moment I first spoke with Lori, I knew I was going to pick her as our florist. She was so kind, eager to understand and execute my vision, accommodating and I immediately tell she would guide us in the right direction. Lori completely transformed our venue into the most elegant, classic, beautiful Manhattan wedding. Her creation was exactly what I had dreamed of! Lori went above and beyond to deliver my bouquets the morning of the wedding and to ensure that the space was set up perfectly. She even waited for us to come down and see the space before all our guests arrived to see our reaction - which was pure amazement! I would absolutely recommend Lori to everyone. She is kind, warm, talented and a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Lori!!

The BEST florist out there!

Cress did the most amazing job for our June 2024 wedding. I worked with both Tom and Lori, and they could not have been more helpful, accommodating, detail-oriented, and communicative throughout the entire planning process. They were by far my favorite vendor to work with! They are experts in their field and really brought my vision to life, offering their guidance and suggestions along the way. The arrangements they created were absolutely magnificent and I will definitely be using them for future events. Thank you Tom and Lori for everything!

Outstanding in every way!

Working with Lori Cress at Cress Floral Decorators was OUTSTANDING! I was planning my daughter's bridal shower and wanted a flower/garden party theme. Lori was readily available to offer advice and answer questions. Her expertise is beyond superb. It was immediately apparent to me that Lori would be personally involved--she felt like family. Since I live out of state, she made the whole process effortless for me; she even visited the venue. She is such a professional, and her artistic use of flowers and colors--impeccable. It was by far the most beautiful and enchanting "English Garden" anyone could image. To say I was thrilled, would be an understatement. It was everything I was hoping for and more to make my daughter's day so special and memorable. On the day of the bridal shower, Lori arrived early to meet me. Thank you, Lori Cress! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
