Wedding Flowers as Haute Art
I should preface this review by saying that I come from a floral family- on both sides, I have relatives who love gardening, flower arranging, and even cultivating characteristically temperamental orchids. So, I knew that I didn't want the standard "white roses and hydrangeas" look. (I say "I" because I'm not sure that my husband was sure he was getting into when it came time to look for a florist, but he agrees that we made the right choice!). Anthony came highly recommended by our venue, The Bronx Zoo. At our initial consultation, Anthony took me for a stroll through the floral district, where his studio is situated, and we had a chance to look at potential flower and vase choices. This was one of the many reasons that we decided to go with him. Right off the bat, I could tell that we were speaking the same aesthetic language. I wanted a tropical theme, utilizing lots of lush greenery as well as purple and white orchids. We chose a mix of clear and verdigris classes to complement the oxidized copper that is seen throughout our venue- it is these kind of thoughtful, unique choices that showcase Anthony's artistry and vision. I was blown away (see my reaction) by his work. Our guests (and even our wedding coordinator, who thought that we spent 3x as much as we actually did on flowers) were astonished with the beautiful, unique decor. Anthony took my vision and ran with it, and simultaneously found ways to keep our costs under control. As our venue coordinator says "He is a wizard." -

User2665107 Sent on 06/28/2016Anthony Brownie is both communicative and accessible and exemplifies the best in floral arrangements and design. My family recently put on an elegant function at the Patron's Lounge of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Anthony's meticulous planning and masterful execution made this an event of a lifetime! Rarely have I seen such competency, creativity, attention to detail and a genuine commitment from the heart to please clients. Anthony Brownie is to be commended for his efforts and I'm certain that he'll exceed your expectations and dazzle your guests with his floral arrangements. -
User2539342 Sent on 02/21/2016We cannot say enough great things about Anthony Brownie! From the moment we met him we knew he was exactly what we were looking for in planning our big day - he is exceptionally talented, and strikes a perfect balance of being open minded and creative to meet the look and feel that we envisioned. On top of being an outstanding florist, Anthony was a pleasure to work with and is a wonderful and kind person.
Anthony also has an outstanding work ethic and showed real commitment to ensuring that everything was perfectly set for our big day. We met with him several times at both the flower market and at the venue (the Carltun), and he was professional, calm and creative in working through the few curveballs that invariably came our way.
In total, we were incredibly impressed with his taste level and understanding of how to creatively achieve exactly what we were going for. We described for him what we liked but the way he ultimately pulled everything together exceeded anything we could even imagine. He just totally “got it” — it was incredible. Furthermore, his professionalism, the hard work he put into everything, and the way he dealt with everything going on made us feel incredibly relieved during the craziness of wedding planning.
We would give Anthony the highest recommendations for anyone thinking about working with him! -
User2293158 Sent on 08/31/2015Anthony was a delight to work with for our wedding. We held our wedding at Studio 450, NY and the space really is a bit of a blank canvass but he really helped create a wonderful event for us and so many of our guests commented on the flowers on the day. Before the wedding, he took us to the flower markets and we were able to talk through our thoughts on the color palette and decor we wanted on the day, he guided us around the market and we talked about the flowers and plants that we both liked. Where we didn't have knowledge of the different types of flowers he filled in the gaps for us and really got to know our style. I was so delighted on the day to walk into the venue and see everything that we had discussed captured from the table pieces, to the bouquets and boutonnieres. His attention-to-detail and creativity made everything just perfect and his flowers played a significant part in making our day beautiful. I would recommend him in a heartbeat! -
User2402596 Sent on 10/31/2015Anthony Brownie provided gorgeous flowers on our wedding day and dedicated service throughout the preparations! On our first meeting in his studio, he had various vases on display, so I immediately knew that he was a stylistically versatile florist. He also had a gorgeous tall cascading orchid piece on display, and that practically sealed the deal! But we still had to discuss business, of course... Anthony really focuses on the overall aesthetic, and every arrangement thereafter is designed to achieve that vision, while also respecting the budget. If you have a favorite flower that happens to be on the pricier side, he'll make sure to sprinkle them in alongside beautifully complementing fillers. At our interfaith ceremony, Anthony created a chuppah using textiles brought in from Haiti. In the ballroom, he placed an impressive, focal standing arrangement at the bar, which guests admired upon entering. He also created 3 different arrangements and provided candelabras to achieve an elegant and lush dining room for our vintage, black-tie, Manhattan wedding. Anthony even hung tea-light lanterns over the sweetheart table as a surprise for us-- again going above and beyond to achieve the look... Anthony is a creative, dedicated florist, who can create beautiful events with a variety of budgets...Ultimately, he goes out of his way to bring your vision to life on your wedding day! And if he can think of special extras, you'll just have to see on your big day...

User1240517 Sent on 07/14/2013Words cannot express how amazing Anthony is and how beautiful he made our wedding. During my first meeting with him I knew that I had to have him. He was so receptive to my ideas and any pre-conceived notions I had about certain flowers being "too expensive" he shot down or came up with helpful suggestions. I originally only had him in mind for the flowers but I loved him and his creativity so much he ended up doing my centerpieces, tables, and venue decor. He showed me all kinds of things for inspiration and meeting in his studio provided me with so much comfort as I was able to see projects he was working on. I highly recommend him for a seamless and beautifully decorated wedding day :)
