    Wedding experience

    Especially For You was so easy to work with! They brought our vision to life and helped us do this within our budget. After coming to set up in the morning on a day that was expecting severe thunderstorms, they went above and beyond to make our outdoor decorations still work. Would definitely recommend!

    Tehrani Wedding 10.06.2024

    Our wedding day was nothing short of beautiful and perfect, all thanks to Steve and the crew over at Especially For You Florist! Steve worked so well with me in creating my dream fall wedding! He was very open to suggestions, had the best ideas and made me feel like family by showing that he cares from the moment I stepped foot in the florist! My bouquet was absolutely beautiful, and I will remember it for the rest of my life along with our centerpieces, etc. thank you again!

    Highly recommend to all!

    Steve and his team were wonderful from start to finish of our planning journey!!!! My brother used EFY for his wedding and they did a wonderful job, but I was even more impressed when I had the opportunity to work with them myself for my own wedding. Steve was helpful, consultative, and not in the slightest bit pushy. He really listened to what we were wanting and worked with us to create something beautiful within the confines of our budget. His suggestions were extremely helpful and we decided to take all of his advice and recommendations! I should also note that especially for what we received I feel EFY provides SO much value for their offering with no compromise to quality. In particular I was blown away by the swags they created for my ceremony arch and the garlands for my sweetheart and guest tables. They were very full and beautiful. We also had flowers added to our cake and it was so full and beautifully done and didn't break the bank. It truly made a huge difference! Steve also helped our vision come to life by suggesting bows for our aisle to spruce it up as a low cost option that really made a huge difference! Steve was always very honest with what flowers worked best at a particular time of the year and wasn't afraid to share alternatives with difference prices to help our budget extend further. EFY was punctual and helped in setting up our florals including our tables with garlands and candles exactly as we instructed them with no issues. EFY is trusted by my entire family and has now become our designated family florist!

    My flowers were a dream!

    We got married on August 26,2023, and one of the most important things for me was flowers! I wanted my wedding to be romantic and match our love story with our flower arrangements ! Marlene and Steve helped me create the perfect arrangements for myself and my wedding. I knew what I wanted and they took my visions and made them a reality! I highly recommend Especially for you flowers to make the most amazing flower arrangement for the most amazing day of your life! 💐

    Excellent customer service, gorgeous flowers!

    I used EFY for my wedding and had a fantastic experience. Marlene was lovely to work with! She did not try to oversell floral items I did not need and the price quote was very fair. Most importantly, my flowers were exactly what I had envisioned. SO BEAUTIFUL!

    Incredible! The family took great care of us.

    What a magnificent time we had working with the Especially For You family and team. Truly, they exceeded our expectations and were so supportive. It’s not every day you choose a vendor and are blown away. This happened here and I’ll forever be grateful. The Bouquets, boutonnieres, and Table arrangements were stunning! Thank you for everything.

    Best florist in the universe!!!!!!

    Don’t even think about going anywhere else for flowers. Steve did such an amazing job on my wedding flowers. From my bouquet and my bridal parties bouquets to the custom pocket squares and centerpieces and my custom crown that I got a thousand compliments on, it was 1000000% exactly what I wanted from the start. It was like especially for you tapped into my brain and plucked out my thoughts. I honestly could not be happier with the service they provided or the flowers themselves. They are all so warm and welcoming I feel like I have friends for life. I will never use another florist. I cannot wait until I have another reason to get some flowers from them!!!

    Simply amazing!!

    I cannot say thank you enough to Especially For You Florist and Gift Shop for creating and providing me with the most beautiful wedding flowers. Marlene and her expert team are truly incredible! I always enjoyed meeting with Marlene and discussing and creating my vision for our wedding. She made me feel like family! I knew I wanted my bridal flowers to pop and provide vibrant color in our color scheme. Marlene and her team exceeded my expectations! EFY added personal touches that took the flowers to the next level by creating cascades, adding custom colors, and using the lace from my dress in my bouquet. The bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and centerpieces / wedding decor flowers were all delivered timely and professionally and set up happened seamlessly. If you want to work with the best and get the best in your wedding day flowers, you need to book with Especially For You Florist and Gift Shop.

    Quintana/Shapiro wedding

    Myself, my bridal party, & every woman at the wedding could not stop raving about the beauty of the bridal party bouquets, especially my bridal bouquet. They all said it was beautiful, & I agree with all of them. My expectations were exceeded with how well they all came together.

    Extremely pleased!!!

    Steve did an outstanding job, as expected! All of the flower arrangements that were put together for my wedding looked absolutely beautiful! He was so accommodating, delivering flowers to multiple locations, and in such a timely fashion! He's worked his magic on a few different occasions for my in-laws, and will be working his magic again in under a year at my sister-in-law's wedding. I'll be sure to choose him for any of my future floral needs!

    Especially for You provided exquisite floral arrangements with very reasonable prices. Our bouquets were gorgeous, and Marlene even helped us with our vision of using vintage ink bottles as miniature vases for our centerpieces. They came out beautifully and were so unique!

    Steve at Especially For You Florist in Monroe is an absolutely wonderful person to work with. He’s kind, patient, knowledgeable and flexible. He really cared to get to know me like no other vendor did - and I had great team of vendors. Steve was always my favorite vendor to visit.

    Steve is great because he was happy to work within the budget I gave him. He came up with plenty of ways to save money. He never treated me like I didn’t know what I was talking about, and he never pressured me to go over budget. He always listened and treated me with respect. He was very responsive to my emails and we figured out most of the details that way. He even sent me example pictures of certain species of roses when I started getting picky about getting the color just right.

    And of course the important part: His work is gorgeous! He created everything exactly the way I wanted despite my not always being able to describe what I wanted! :) He always listened to my thoughts and then showed me how he could make it happen. He’s really talented and creative. I ordered a ring corsage for my Mother-In-Law and she was blown away by it. No one had ever seen anything like it! It was a big hit. He used a hidden water vial to keep all the hydrangeas from wilting in the August heat and they looked gorgeous all day long! The colors were fantastic. I loved the wire wrapping for the groom’s boutonniere too. Everything was absolutely perfect. I could not possibly have been happier!

    Thank you, Steve!

    Marlene was wonderful to work with. I went to her with a very tight budget for my wedding flowers and she worked to meet it! She helped me choose flowers in my color scheme that wouldn't go over what I could afford. Plus, she delivered the flowers to my church, reception and parents home! My flowers were beautiful - classy and elegant. I would highly recommend her to brides looking for a great value.

    BOOK Especially For You Florist!!!!!!

    Steve and his team really outdone themselves! We got married on 3.29.25 and all of our floral arrangements came out so beautifully.

    Wonderful!

    Steve was an absolute joy to work with! He listened to my ideas and knew exactly what I wanted. The day of my wedding I was completely elated when I saw the arrangements from all the bouquets, centerpieces and ceremony flowers. He also did a beautiful job on my bouquet with arranging the memory pictures of my loved ones who had passed. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

    My vendor recommended Marlene and her shop. Wonderful family owned. Came in on a very tight budget and she took so much time to work with me. My bridal bouquet was stunning. I would recommend this shop for any and all events.

    Fantastic Wedding Florist!

    Especially for You Florist in Freehold, NJ put together the most beautiful flowers for my wedding day! My bridal bouquet and bridesmaid's bouquet were more beautiful than I could have imagined. The floral arrangements at our wedding venue were the cherry on top! Marlene was so great to work with and met with me and person several times to make sure we had all of the details right. The day of the wedding they delivered all of the flowers on time to my house, the church, and the venue, and set everything up perfectly! Marlene even dropped by in person to Congratulate me on my special day!!
