Fantastic!
Allison was fantastic! She was very easy to work with throughout the whole process and brought own vision into reality. Everything went smoothly with the set-up and clean-up without needing any of our attention. We loved her aesthetic and eye for detail. The flowers fit perfectly with the venue and really enhanced our wedding day. -

Florals of my dreams!
Allison - You managed to do the extraordinary of creating exquisite floral arrangements without ever overpowering the beauty of the space. Your use of color, height, dimension, and variety was absolutely stunning. The chuppah went above and beyond what we ever could have imagined and the bud vases were elegant, interesting, and beautiful. My hair piece and Dan's boutonniere pop in every photo and my nieces officially want to be flower girls for the rest of their lives. -

Loved our flowers!!
Allison did the flowers for our wedding, and we LOVED them! We shared our theme with her, and she really ran with it and amplified it! She sent some Pinterest boards for inspiration and to let us further refine what we wanted. She sent an early quote based on what we told her we wanted. We gave her a budget we wanted to stay under, and she helped us do everything we wanted while staying on budget.

Laura Sent on 06/22/2023Modern masterpieces!
BW&P is absolutely incredible. I told Allison about my vision for modern minimalist ikebana flower arrangements at my wedding, and she delivered unbelievably beautiful and artistic arrangements beyond my wildest dreams. My draping bridal bouquet with orchids, sweet peas, long spur columbine, and scapes was so beautiful it should be on the cover of Bride magazine. I didn’t think it could get better, but the centerpieces at the tables blew me away. They were effortless ikebana masterpieces proudly standing in open bowls. She carefully constructed a perfect balance: the poetic negative space of striking meandering native poppies and scapes, the thrill of statement long spur columbine, the romance of dangling foxglove, and the ephemeral whisps of deep red smoke bush. I hadn’t seen this type of work in her portfolio before my wedding, and I didn’t think it was possible for a florist to execute a vision so different from all other wedding arrangements. Not to mention, I only gave BWP about a week to execute this project! Allison proved to me that she can do anything, and with just a few pictures as her inspiration, she created something new and more beautiful than anything I have ever seen. Thank you, BW&P, for creating the art that defined a perfect evening for me and my guests. -

Dream Florals for a Dream Wedding
Allison is truly a dream to work with, I cannot recommend her enough! I first met her when she was setting up for a wedding at the restaurant where I work—She was so lovely to work alongside with as we put everything together and really transformed the space with her beautiful arrangements. After the event was over, my quick-witted friend asked for her card as she knew I was getting married later that year. When the time came to finally book a florist for my wedding, I reached out to Allison, and not only did she respond quickly with kindness, but she made it so easy from that point on that I knew I wouldn’t have to worry about anything. She was so gracious about working within my budget, and even took the time to scope out the venue beforehand on her own to make sure she would execute the perfect vision. My wedding was in October and she incorporated all seasonal brightly-hued flowers into my bouquet that to this day when I show people photos from the wedding, they comment on how beautiful a bouquet it was. If you are looking for not only a talented florist but a wonderful person to collaborate with for your special day, look no further!! -

Exceptional
Hiring Allison was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! We asked for color but otherwise told Allison to do whatever she wanted, and the end result was perfection - a total dream. Every arrangement was so beautiful and Allison perfectly captured the exact festive vibe that we wanted for the day. The whole process felt easy and seamless, from our phone calls to the installation / breakdown. Truly can't recommend Allison enough! -

Wonderful!
Allison did an amazing job with flowers for our cocktail reception in New York! The small wedding bouquet was beautiful, and the delicate hint of pink on the spray roses was just stunning!
All the bud vases complimented the room perfectly, and everyone was making comments on how beautiful everything was! -

Exceptional creativity
Allison was an incredible florist. We trusted her vision and intuition. We had a lot of restrictions at our venue and Allison brought to life our ideas despite that. We knew we wanted seasonal and local flowers and she delivered on that. She was such a joy to work with. -

Highly recommend!
Allison was such a dream to work with, and her flower arrangements were PERFECT. We had only a few conversations and she knew intuitively what I was going for and delivered something better than I had even imagined. She has such a unique, beautiful style. Enthusiastically recommend. -

Attention to detail
I had a very distinct vision in mind and Allyson not only executed it, but she added ideas and accents that I hadn’t thought about while staying within my budget. The final product exceeded my expectations - the arrangements were fresh and full and her staff’s attention to placement and detail was spot on. Will use them again and again. -

We had a small, intimate Brooklyn wedding at what I would call a "rustic" setting. I had concerns about making it feel special, but Allison showed up with total confidence that she could create a beautiful chuppah from 4 pine trees. When I showed up to the ceremony, I cried because it was so beautiful. She included a late summer/early fall array of dahlias and other seasonal varieties that truly fit the occasion.
Allison elevated the entire ceremony from gorgeous bouquets to wrist corsages for our moms. She listened to every preference I had (even though I wasn't completely sure what I wanted), and totally delivered on every detail. She even remembered to add a tiny carnation to my husband's boutonnière in honor of our upcoming January baby.
Not to mention, the volunteers at the ceremony space had rave reviews of Allison because she was so easy to work with and even gave them the leftover flowers that would otherwise be tossed. I would recommend working with her for both large and small events, she's the best! -

Maria Sent on 10/29/2018Amazing Wedding Florist
My fiance and I loved working with Ali! We had a few vague ideas about what we wanted for the ceremony and the reception. Ali walked us through the color schemes, possible flower selections and arrangement possibilities without overwhelming the two wedding-planning novices. I immediately trusted Ali's judgment and taste and happily relied on her expertise. On the day of the wedding, I was blown away by the flowers and the arrangements! Ali took our ideas and turned them into something magical! She was also familiar with our wedding venue and worked with them on getting everything delivered and organized. It was definitely a relief not having to worry about one extra thing on the wedding day. I have really enjoyed working with Ali and cannot say enough great things about her work! Highly recommend! -
Kate Sent on 12/30/2017I was so happy with Bird Watching and Pruning Floral! The flowers at my wedding were perfect and exactly what I wanted. I had every confidence during the process that Ali and her team would produce beautiful arrangements and they did not disappoint. She saw my vision and perfected it and I would recommend her to anyone.

Melissa Sent on 12/21/2017I used BW&P floral for my wedding this fall, and would highly recommend Allison and her team.
My wedding was about 120 people, and I wanted a seasonal and chic look for the event. BW&P did a fantastic job! We had a great initial consultation where she helped me understand which flowers would be in bloom in October, and which ones would help me get the most effect for my budget. On the day of, she had the venue almost completely set-up before we even arrived for our pictures. The room was gorgeous, my guests were impressed, and I felt like overall, the price was very fair for the quality and abundance of blooms that BW&P provided. Lastly, Allison herself was a delight to work with - responsive, organized, and enthusiastic; she only added to the good vibes of my very special day. -

Dori Sent on 10/14/2017I knew that Allison was the perfect florist for my wedding from the minute I met her. I am not a flower-person, and I went into our first meeting not really knowing anything that I wanted, other than orange and burgundy flowers for my bouquet. She listened to the (few) ideas that I had, presented many of her own, and we generally had an amazing first meeting. She is someone that I knew I could be friends with, rather than just a vendor for our wedding.
She was very engaged throughout the process -- sending me pictures of flowers she saw at the farmer's market, creating a pinterest board for us to share, and meeting me at the venue, so we could talk through the design elements. She also did an amazing job working within our budget, which I really appreciated. She responded to every email quickly and thoroughly, and she and her team did an absolutely incredible job the day of.
She's creative, she has a great sense of style, and she put together bouquets that my photographers were absolutely "obsessed with." They shoot a lot of weddings, and they said these were the best they ever saw. I couldn't agree more, although I know that I'm a bit biased...
Thank you Allison!!! -
