Beautiful Work
I worked with Nicole who had a “less is more” perspective that I really appreciated. She took my vision and inspo pictures and brought them to life without breaking the bank. Her team set up the details and arrangements at the venue and the bouquets were absolutely beautiful and arrived in individual vases. I would recommend this shop to anyone getting married in the Syracuse area! -

Beautiful work & a great attention to detail!
I worked with Nino for about a year and a half leading up to our July 2021 wedding. To be honest, I was a very hands on bride with high expectations for anyone we were hiring. Even more challenging I didn’t live in Syracuse. Nino was very attentive and communicative throughout the planning process. He was flexible with my meeting requests when I was in town and he communicated easily via email when we needed to. Everything was delivered day of and went as planned without any issues (of course). Most importantly the work was absolutely beautiful and just as I hoped for! Thank you Nino & BYG team!-

Amazing Florals
Backyard Garden Florist and specifically Nino helped to bring our wedding day to life with the most gorgeous flowers. The centerpieces and the bridal bouquets were absolutely stunning. Nino listened to our ideas and he executed them better than we could have imagined!! I highly recommend trusting Backyard Garden Florist with your wedding day flowers, you will not be disappointed. -

Could not have imagined better
Nino is a rockstar. I am still in awe of the beautiful arraignments he and his team made for our wedding. They even constructed an archway for us! Easy to work with and a creative genius with flowers, I would absolutely recommend. -

Stunning flowers with great customer service and eye for design!
Nino was a joy to work with from beginning to end. In many ways he not only put together stunning floral arrangements for us, but was the design eye behind our entire multi-room reception space. He helped us think about the flowers and the place cards and the table numbers and the champagne buckets... I cannot recommend Backyard Garden highly enough. It's worth the $$$ - he's the best in the business! -

We fell in love with Nino the first time we met him! He is amazing to work with and is so sweet. He was very helpful and responsive throughout the planning process and overall just a great florist! Our flowers for our wedding day were absolutely perfect! Our entrance piece, low and high centerpieces, bouquets, boutineers and corsages were all breath taking! I would highly recommend them!-

Nino, of Backyard Garden, has a vision like none other. We had Nino do the flowers for the bridal shower as well - perfect! The wedding flowers, from corsages to centerpieces were stunning. Nino has an attention to detail which includes the timing as well. Nino was at the church to pin on the corsages. Made sure all flowers were delivered to where they were supposed to be. Not a single worry with Nino and Backyard Garden. Highly recommend! -

Nino did an AMAZING job with the flowers at our wedding! He was extremely helpful in giving advice about other aspects of the wedding decor as well so that everything would tie together seamlessly and we would have the exact look we were going for. He provided beautiful flowers for the church, the bouquets were stunning, and the centerpieces were exactly what we wanted! Having only a rough idea of what we wanted, he did a great job of leading us through the process until we had stunning arrangements that perfectly suited our wedding look. He is extremely professional and friendly and we were so happy with the results. He really is an artist! Would highly recommend. -

We worked with Nino at Backyard Garden Florists, and he did an amazing job for our fall wedding! He never uses dyed flowers, and was able to incorporate natural oranges, yellows, purples, and reds in our arrangements to match the fall theme. The dahlias and calla lillies were beautiful! Nino listened to our design choices are matched them perfectly to give an elegant and rustic look to fit our venue. All the table arrangements and wedding party arrangements were reasonably priced. Definitely a great local vendor, I would highly recommend them!! -

Michele and the rest of the staff at backyard gardens went above and beyond to make our flowers beautiful. From the first planning meeting to the wedding day they were always there to answer all of my questions promptly as well as adjust my order whenever I asked with no trouble. Everything was exactly as I pictured and the rental process went smoothly. I would highly suggest them to anyone looking for a wonderful product with exceptional reliable service. -

We received lots of compliments on the bouquets and centerpieces, and I am so happy with the choice we made! :) Thank you to Nino and BGF! -

Nino's flowers are top-notch! Two weeks later, the anniversary bouquet of roses I gave my grandmother are still alive and beautiful! Everything from the flowers at the end of the pews, to the arrangements at the alter, to the centerpieces at the reception were absolutely perfect! Not to mention my bouquet! The staff at the Backyard Garden were professional and helpful at every turn! -

Nino is a true professional who knows what he is doing! From the first time that I met with him, he sat with me and flipped through lots of photos of possible arrangements before coming up with a mix and match that was better than I ever could have imagined! He and his team delivered the flowers to our venue - not just on time but early - despite a semi-last minute (a week or two before the wedding) bump up to an earlier time. I don't think I could have asked for a better florist or an easier working relationship! -

Nino was incredible to work with and delivered absolutely beautiful flowers. I didn't know what I wanted in terms of flowers but he allowed me to take his own books home, bookmark them, and come again discuss options. He was very complete, asking all about my wedding dress and venue to assess our sense of style and what we would like. I trusted him completely, and that day, the flowers were perfect. They were delivered on time, they brought them to my house and the church and also made sure that the flowers were all pinned on our groomsmen and given to my grandmothers. They were very reasonable, and I have recommended them to everyone who asked about my flowers. I am extremely happy about their service. -

Nino is one of those people that is just AMAZING at what he does. My fiance and I really did not know much about flowers and did not have a specific florist in mind for our wedding. We met with 5 or so florists from Cortland to Syracuse and all I can say is that choosing to go with Nino may have been one of the best choices that we made in planning our wedding.
After meeting with Nino and seeing some examples of his work, we knew he was good. We told Nino our colors and a few suggestions of things we liked/didn't like and then gave Nino the freedom to do what he thought would work best. The bouquets, church flowers and centerpieces were more beautiful than anything we could have ever hoped for!! Nino worked with us and our (somewhat limited) budget and blew any expectations that our parents and us had out of the water. The centerpieces MADE our reception space and I can't express how perfect my bouquet was for me.
Nino thank you so much for a wonderful experience. I wish you could have seen our faces the first time we walked into the reception space and saw what you had created, it was priceless. To any brides looking for a florist.. I honestly believe that skill, creativity, attention to detail and professionalism of Nino and his team at Backyard Garden Florist is unmatched in Central NY. -

I worked directly with Nino at Backyard Garden for my mom's wedding, and I'm beyond pleased and impressed with his work. When our flowers were delivered on the wedding day, they actually brought tears to my mom's eyes, and this was a woman who almost didn't even want flowers!
However, I'm a bit more picky, and had a pretty distinct image in my head of what I knew my mom would like. But as much as I knew what we wanted, it was still difficult to communicate the exact picture in my head. But after a conversation with Nino, he knew exactly what I wanted, and on the wedding day, the picture in my head was brought to life exactly as we all envisioned. He even added some lovely details to the bouquet wrapping that just made us all go "awwwww!"
One of the reasons we hired Nino was because he has a great design aesthetic and a knack for garden-y and ethereal flowers, which was what we were going for. He's so talented, easy to talk to, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. I also found his prices to be very fair and he was SO fast with email, which was always reassuring.
Everyone at the wedding was complimenting our bouquets saying they were the most beautiful they'd ever seen. I must say, I agree :) -

Nino and his team did an awesome job for our wedding! Nino was great to work with and made our vision come to life. We met with him several times during the planning process and he answered all of our questions and made sure we were happy with everything we received. There were flowers I wanted that were not in season and he went above and beyond to make sure we were able to have them! He stayed at the ceremony to make sure everyone got their flowers and even set the aisle runner in place after the groomsmen unrolled it. Backyard Garden truly care about the work they do and it shows! -

Nino brought my exact vision for my wedding to life and I will forever be grateful to him for it. Thank you so much!!! When I first came in to meet with Nino I had a binder several inches thick full of photos and magazine clippings with my ideas. He took it all in and he worked with me to incorporate everything I wanted into my wedding decor while keeping it tasteful and keeping it all within my budget. I got married in Ithaca, NY and Nino had never been to my ceremony or reception venues. He came with me to visit both locations and took photos and detailed notes on everything he saw. He made sure that we were on the same page before moving forward with any of our plans, which I really appreciated. There were times when I really needed his professional guidance on certain things (like my ceremony decor) and he was 100% spot on with his judgment call there. I had only a rough idea about what I wanted for the ceremony and Nino used his creative license to create an incredibly romantic but subtle setting for us to exchange our vows in. I loved my chuppah so much that part of me wants to keep it and put it up in my own backyard! There were also times when I felt strongly about incorporating some of my own personal elements into my reception decor (like my table numbers, my favors and my menus) and Nino was totally flexible, he made it work and he made it work well. He incorporated every single detail that I asked for (from the birch pots, the moss details, the curly willow, the wheatgrass, to every single specific flower that we discussed for both my centerpieces and bouquets/boutonnieres as well as every single outside element of my own that I asked him to include in his design). My bridesmaids loved their bouquets (they held them all night!), I loved mine so much that I used it as a centerpiece for my sweetheart table at the reception, and my guests continue to rave about how beautiful my centerpieces were and how romantic the entire setting was inside our reception tent. Nino and team - I cannot thank you all enough for bringing my vision to life, for being such a true pleasure to work with, and for helping to make the most special day of my life such a beautiful one. -

We had the pleasure of having Nino provide the flowers for our wedding. I had a variety of different floral decor, including rose petals for the aisle, 5 bridesmaids bouquets of blue hydrangea, a mixed wildlflower bouquet for me, boutonierres for the groomsmen and dads, wristlet for my MIL, two large vases of flowers, and 16 centerpieces. Everything looked gorgeous! I was very impressed. He is very accommodating with what you want and very upfront about what will work and what won't. He's a true professional - just tell him what you want and let him run with it. -

and boutonnieres. Everything was delivered right on time and in perfect condition! -

Amazingly talented. Nino is the consummate professional and delivered on the vision for the wedding. "Breathtaking", "gorgeous, "unique" were some of the remarks from the guests. Hands down the best florist in the Syracuse area. -

The Backyard Garden did such a beautiful job with our wedding flowers! Nino was completely professional and helped us with the finer details of our reception centerpieces. Nino personally flipped through a website with us, looking at every variation of gerber daisy available to make sure I was happy with the color choices.
Our bridal party bouquets were above and beyond my expectations. They were bold, colorful, and put together exactly as I had envisioned it. The reception flowers were perfect and set up exactly they way we had discussed- I never even had to worry about anything on the day of our wedding. In fact, we had a "mishap" where a corsage was accidentally given to the wrong woman, and Nino fashioned a pin-on corsage at the church for my grandmother. Neither I, not my gram, knew that anything was amiss, and I thank him for that! What a testimant to the service offered by this florist! He even gave us advice on which parts of the decor we should DIY to save money.
Nino is a class act! -

Nino provided the flowers for my July 2011 wedding. He sat down with my mom and I twice and made sure he understood our vision for my wedding day. He also had awesome suggestions for our specific reception venue.
Everything came out exactly like I had imagined. I couldn't believe how beautiful both the church and reception venue looked. You definitely get what you pay for.
I very highly recommend booking Backyard Garden Florist for your wedding.
Thank you Nino!! -

Nino and his crew are professional and fantastic. They even helped me bring back boxes, etc to my house the next day which wasn't at all related to their job description. He is also great to have around right before the ceremony - he fluffed my dress and got everyone organized. A+++++ -

We had a great experience with Nino from The Backyard Garden Florist. He is very responsive and professional about what he does. He also pays attention to details and gives us very helpful advices through the planning.
We used his service for all our flower arrangements at the ceremony and the reception. Also the decoration for our wedding cake! On the actually wedding day, he arrived on time and start setting up everything according to plans. He also did a great job putting names on the bags of boutonnieres and corsages so everyone found their piece very easily!
We are so grateful to be able to work with such nice and professional people to make our wedding day a perfect experience for us! -

Pretty good for the cost
This vendor was not our favorite to deal with leading up to the wedding. We would call 5 or 6 times without a response. However, when it came to the wedding they nailed it. All flowers were as discussed and showed up on time without a hitch. -

Nino was wonderful. When we made out first appointment we thought we had all the details planned out, but Nino was able to bring our vision to life. The bouquets were perfect! They were able to set up everything at the church, drop all the bouquets to the girls, and help the guys get set at the church. Every detail was thought of and just perfect. -

After viewing their website, I was very excited to have the chance to work with Backyard Garden. Their portfolio was just gorgeous and creative. I met with Nino who was a sweetheart. He squeezed us in for a consult on a very busy weekend. We filled him in our all the details for our big day and he was flexible on accommodating our ideas. Afterward, he was pretty good about returning emails on time, which was our primary mode of contact. We ended up requesting a boutonniere later on and he was added it in without a problem. Overall, nothing was terribly expensive, but I still feel like it was more expensive than it needed to be. Overall, I believe we spent nearly $700 and all we had was a boutonniere, the bridal party bouquets, three corsages, and ten "centerpieces." When I saw the final products on the wedding day, I was not very pleased with them. The centerpieces, which I requested be a small bunch of carnations submerged under water, were not done properly. They were never attached to the bottom of the glass cube and thus, simply floated around. It ended up looking really boring and cheap, not the elegant centerpieces we had in mind. The corsages and boutonniere came out alright, though maybe slightly large for our taste. The details of the bridal party bouquets were not done correctly. We had requested one bridal bouquet with mostly Lisianthus, a couple white roses, and the stems tied in a purple ribbon. Then we requested that the bridesmaids bouquets be mostly white roses, a couple Lisianthus, and tied in white ribbon. On the wedding day, all the bouquets, including the bridal, were all mostly white roses with a couple Lisianthus and the ribbons were backwards (the bridal was white and the bridesmaids purple). Truly, nothing could have upset us that day because we were so happy to be getting married, but looking back, it's upsetting that I didn't get what I asked for. There was no attention to detail really and that made us feel like not much attention was given to our order. This was probably because there were several weddings going on that weekend and we weren't the ones paying top dollar. We feel like our details got overlooked simply because our order was simple and not a huge moneymaker for them. Regardless of how much we were paying in respect to other clients, I still feel like we should have been given great service (and gotten the items we requested). -

I will say this - Nino is a talented guy, and if there was a catagory for flower arrangements, I would give Nino a 5+.
But parents of the bride can be picky people. They expect the flower vases at their daughter's wedding reception not to fall over, shatter, and destroy the plates, glasses, and linens as the guests were arriving.
Fortunately, the good folks at the venue quickly and professionally removed the remaining tall vases and placed them around the dance floor.
As the evening progressed, more than a few guests remarked what a cute idea it was to put flowers around the dance floor instead of on the tables!
But like I say, parents of the bride can be picky people.
I would look elsewhere.
