    My florals were AMAZING!

    Oh, where do I start!? From first reaching out to Cici and explaining to her what I was looking for in wedding florals to her giving me advice on what will and will not work to the final outcome, I was completely blown away!! Her work exceeded any expectations, I didn’t realize how much the florals would add to the ceremony and dinner tables of our wedding. I LOVED my wedding bouquet so much, I didn’t want to give it to the lady that is preserving it. I will continue to dream about my bouquet and my wedding florals, thank you so much Cici for you guidance and love you put into making our wedding florals beautiful! You’re a gem!

    Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor's reply:

    Casey,
    Thank so much for your kind words and for giving me the opportunity to design your wedding florals. I wish you both happinesses and blessings in your life together. 💐

    Floral Dreams!

    I had an incredibly positive experience working with Ay, Poppy! Cici was incredible to work with and took all of my inspiration and made it into reality. I've included my inspo-board in this review so you can see just how well she took the requests and ideas I gave her and brought it to life! I'm super bummed we didn't get a picture, but per my request, Cici took a piece of my mother's veil and used it to wrap my bridal bouquet. She took the pearls from the veil and used them in the wrap as well. It was stunning and such a special way to incorporate my "something old". She also took our very nerdy request to include D&D dice in the groomsmen bouts seriously. I provided her with the dice and she incorporated them beautifully and subtly into the bouts--but with enough emphasis that my husband and his groomsmen loved it!

    I cannot recommend Cici enough for your floral needs!

    Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor's reply:

    Katherine,
    It was a pleasure to work with you and I didn't consider any part of your ideas nerdy. I had a lot of fun. I love when we add unique elements to our floral. I am so happy that you loved everything and particularly the addition of your mother's veil. Thank you for your trust. Best wishes to you both.

    Ay, Poppy is the best!

    Ay Poppy, by far, was the best vendor we had for our wedding day. I found Cici on Facebook while researching for an AFFORDABLE vendor to do our wedding day floral, and I am so thankful I did! The entire process was very smooth. Cici responded well and fast to everything. On my wedding day, her and her team went above and beyond!!! We did not anything to hang a memorial sign to honor my late father, but without any issue, Cici and her team stepped in saved the day by letting us use some of their ribbon. On your big day, little things like this make such a huge difference. Cici and her team made my wedding day beautiful!!! I will 100000% recommend Ay,Poppy to anyone!

    Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor's reply:

    Hi Jenny,
    Thank you for your review. We are honored to have been a part of your day. We love pitching in with whatever our brides need and I am happy that we were able to help. Blessings to you both in your new life together. I am sure that your father was present that day to witness your happiness.

    Easy to Work With and Great Product

    Married 11-24-23. I was referred to Ay Poppy! through my wedding planner. I told her my vision for gem and jewel toned theme and Mrs. Cici delivered. At one point I had second thoughts about the type of flowers because I was worried they would be toxic to my cats if I were to take them home after the wedding. She quickly responded and found alternative floral choices without compromising the original look. She was also understanding to when the number of wedding party members changed so she accommodated for that too. The coolest part of arrangements were that she made them multi-functional. We used them to decorate the ceremony and then they were moved to decorate the tables for the reception. The bridesmaids bouquets were used as centerpieces. Reasonable prices, personal and easy communication. Brides and planners: Book in advance for smoother transaction and for flexibility. Trust the process.

    Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor's reply:

    Hi Anna,
    Thank you for your review. We loved your gem colored theme and we are happy that we were able to help out with your cats. :) Best Wishes to you both.

    Beautiful Pieces!

    Cici was absolutely amazing. She takes such pride and time into her work and it absolutely shows in her pieces. Our centerpieces, cake accent flowers and bridal party florals were so beautiful. We could not have been happier!

    Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor's reply:

    Hi Erica,
    Thank you so much! We appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure and honor to design your wedding. Blessings to both of you in this next chapter in your life.

    My daughter quince

    I was looking for someone with reasonable pricing who would work with me. My coordinator found Ay Poppy Floral for me. Mrs. Cici worked with me, and her prices were affordable. My daughter's Quince theme was Harry Potter. Mrs. Cici, my daughter, and I had multiple meetings and calls. We discussed the types of flowers, colors, sizes of flowers, and accessories that could be incorporated into the centerpieces. Mrs. Cici put a lot of details into the centerpieces. She was very professional and friendly. My daughter got a lot of compliments on her bouquet and centerpieces. Mrs. Cici is among the nicest and most professional people I have ever met. I will recommend Ay Poppy to anyone. You won't be disappointed.

    Thank you Yvette! It was great to work together with you and Danielle on Emily”s quince.💐 Best Wishes and many blessings to you and your family! Beautiful theme 💗

    Hard working and Fast!

    There was a miscommunication due to the wedding wire app, but she was able to get us our Boutique and Boutonnière's Fast and in a timely manner. And they were very beautiful 10/10 would recommend!

    Stress Free and Amazing

    Working with Cici at Ay Poppy, made things so easy. I just showed her pictures with what I wanted, and she took it from there! Asked for any recommendations on what was needed for my venue, and she gave me cost efficient and beautiful options. I highly recommend Ay Poppy! Communication was outstanding as well. She took care of everything for me as far as design, and set up. Thank you so much!

    Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor's reply:

    Hi Gabby,
    You are very sweet. Thank you for allowing us creative freedom for your wedding florals. We loved inserting the different pops of color in your centerpieces and backdrop. Blessings to you both.

    Captured my daughter's wedding aesthetic

    Working with Floral Designer CiCi Occhiuzzi owner of AY, Poppy! Floral & Event Decor was a great blessing to us! CiCi listened well and was able to capture my daugthers aesthetic floral vision with touches of disco balls. The guest tables popped with brilliant floral colors, tapered candles & scattered disco balls. CiCi and here team created two elegant ceremony florals which were later placed on each side of the sweetheart table this added to the disco ball centerpiece she created for the couple. But I especially loved my daughters wedding bouquet it was elegant with just a touch of color!
    Choosing Ay, Pappy Floral & Event was definetly the best choice for my daughters wedding!
    I highly recommend CiCi and her amazing Ay, Pappy Floral & Event team for your next wedding, anniversary, quinceanera or any event needing florals.

    Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor's reply:

    Martha,
    We want to thank you for your kind words. You and Amanda were great to work with and I truly enjoyed meeting your family. Amanda's theme was the most fun we've ever had with a wedding. We wish your family many blessings in all your future endeavors.

    A vision come true!

    Cici was amazing! She really took the time to work on what was needed and offered so many suggestions to help upscale my vision. The flowers were so beautiful I literally gasped at the site of my bouquet and centerpieces. She takes the time to communicate and really follow through!

    Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor's reply:

    Look no further!!!

    We hired Ay, Poppy! for our wedding and CiCi and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! CiCi was very knowledgeable, creative, professional, and affordable. From our very first communication, she expressed excitement and helped me piece together my (unorganized) vision and turned it into exactly what I had imagined! CiCi worked with me every step of the way to make sure everything was perfect and the team delivered, setup, and tore down all of the florals and décor seamlessly. I cannot recommend them enough!!

    Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor's reply:

    Thank you Brandi! You were great to work with. We really enjoyed setting up for your wedding. Many Blessings to both of you!

    As an out of state Bride, I was worried about finding vendors. I was lucky to find Cici and her team. She was easy to work with and very friendly. My flowers were beautiful and I was very happy with how they turned out.

    Ay! Poppy floral is a MUST for your wedding.

    Cici was a wonder to work with and got down to the details. She was flexible when it came down to what I wanted and offered a great many suggestions and insight along the way. I loved that we were able to reuse the floral from the arch to decorate our sweetheart table. I definitely recommend her and will go to her first for my future floral needs.

    Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor's reply:

    Thank you Passion. I had a lot of fun creating your arch arrangements! I am happy that you were able to repurpose them. God Bless you both in all of your future endeavors.

    Blew my expectations out of the water!

    Ay, Poppy! beyond exceeded my expectations by a long shot with the florals for my vow renewal. Cici was amazing to work with, she was as sweet as can be, patient, knowledgeable & responsive throughout the entire time we worked together. Her talent is amazing & I could not recommend her enough to anybody.
    I gave her a loose idea of what I was looking for, we decided on a budget & I pretty much just told her “I trust your judgment & I know whatever you create I’ll love.” & boy did she deliver!! Her artistic ability & design knowledge allowed me to not have to stress about anything.
    Stop looking and contact her asap for your event!

    Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words. It was a pleasure to design for you. You honor our small company. God's Blessings to you both.

    Can you tell I've never gotten married before?

    Thank you to CiCi and the team at Ay, Poppy flowers for helping me to plan and execute my wedding in less than 3 months! They were very responsive, friendly, and flexible (especially when I kept adding to the number of boutonnieres!!). The flowers were absolutely gorgeous, and the setup and takedown were flawless and easy.

    Always a Honor

    I am a wedding coordinator and I have worked with CiCi on several occasions. We met while working on my sisters wedding and I immediately fell in love with her and her work. Her designs and ideas are stunning. Each wedding I’ve done with CiCi comes out picture perfect.
    She has an incredible team that works diligently and efficiently. Cici holds professionalism with each of her clients while also building personal relationships with each of her brides. I always look forward to working with Cici and her team. I continue to spread her name with each of my clients and will most definitely be contacting her when time to plan my own wedding.

    Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor's reply:

    Erica.
    We had so much fun working with you on our March wedding. I look forward to working with you again! Please say hi to Brianna for me. :) I look forward to the day I can design for you.

    Wonderful!

    Cici was so amazing at helping to coordinate my wedding and also bringing my floral dreams to life! I was very picky and specific about the colors I wanted in my floral arrangements and Cici did nothing less than amazing! All of the colors of each flower stood out perfectly in my wedding pictures. She also was the decorator for my wedding and she did amazing! I got so many compliments on my centerpieces and all of my gold accents! She also helped me with my day of wedding coordination which took so much off mt shoulders. I would highly recommend Ay, Poppy Floral & Event Decor to any bride searching for the perfect florist or event decorator!!

    Breathtaking Wedding Florals & Exceptional Professionalism

    We recently had our wedding in December 2021.
    We’d first like to recognize and thank the owner of Ay, Poppy (Cici) for her patience, kindness and time spent on our endless phone calls, texts and meetings.
    She took the time to listen to all of my ideas, detail goals and vision for our wedding day. I wanted a clean, simple but elegant feel to our timeless and romantic themed wedding.

    Cici and her entire team executed our vision perfectly. They were very mindful and helpful with our budget as well. I was very specific on which type of flowers we’d like and didn’t like. Cici made sure to keep us updated on all of their progress. We also had to add last minute bouquets and boutonnières and Cici was so gracious to accommodate those unplanned details.

    Come wedding day, the team arrived early, organized and ready. We had plenty of hiccups throughout the day and Cici was there to make sure everything was sorted out and organized. She reassured me that me everything would be just fine and it definitely was.

    Our ballroom arrangements exceeded expectations. We were blown away when we finally made it inside after our ceremony. Pictures truly do not do justice. Our wedding day was surprising a very hot, humid day in December. Our flowers maintained integrity through the entire event and weeks after. They were breathtaking. Everything from bouquets, to corsages to cake flowers and table pieces. We truly believe that everything Ay, Poppy Floral arranged for us was designed with such love, care and patience. We felt as though it was our family helping us on wedding day and we couldn’t be more thankful.

    We highly recommend Ay, Poppy Floral for your wedding or event floral needs. They do it all. They are an honest, family owned company. You will be taken care of beyond expectations. Thank you Ay, Poppy Floral! We are so grateful ♥️
