    10/10 recommend- If you want your special day to be unforgettable, Florista is the only choice.

    Florista in LIC Queens is an absolute gem in the world of floristry! I can't express enough how incredible Carlos and his team are. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. They took my vision and elevated it beyond my wildest dreams.

    The flowers they provided for my wedding were truly the centerpiece of the entire event. Every bloom was meticulously selected and arranged, adding an air of elegance and beauty that surpassed all expectations. Carlos's attention to detail and artistic flair are simply unmatched.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Florista to anyone in need of floral services. They are, without a doubt, the best florist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. If you want your dreams to come to life, look no further than Florista.

    On the day of my wedding, guests couldn't stop raving about how stunning the floral arrangements were. They truly transformed the venue into a magical wonderland. I can't thank Carlos and his team enough for their dedication and talent.

    Finding Florista just two weeks before my wedding was a stroke of luck, and I will forever be grateful for their expertise and professionalism. Trust me, if you want your special day to be unforgettable, Florista is the only choice.

    Wedding Flowers

    Carlo and the whole staff at Floresta were excellent. We connected with Carlo for our wedding, and he took the time to hear our ideas and provide his professional input when we needed help. He definitely helped take our event to the next level without breaking the bank. Elyse, who handled the admin was very helpful and patient as well. I could not be more pleased with how our flower arrangements came out! I am obsessed with how gorgeous the flowers were and how they made everything come together beautifully! I recommend Floresta 100%

    Exceptional work!!!

    From start to finish, we were beyond impressed on how smooth everything came together. Ana is so easy to talk to and quick to respond to any questions we had. Carlo has such a creative mind, he knew exactly what I wanted, both options he came up with we're what I was imagining for my wedding day. Carlo is professional but also personable, he cares about the comfort and vision of the bride and groom, that he will make it work no matter what. He has such a big heart, you can't help but smile around him. But his and the Floresta team's work speaks for itself. Beyond beatiful flower arrangements and the way the candles shined made such a romantic atmosphere. They also worked with my cake vendor.
    Thank you so much for such a pleasant and beautiful memory on our wedding day.

    Absolutely awesome stress free experience

    Carlo at Floresta and the entire team are just a dream to work with. Responsive, professional, extremely reliable are few of the words I could use to describe them. I am not only a vendor that workes with them all the time, but was also their client as they provided florals for my NUC wedding. Working with them I know there is nothing I should worry about. They go above and beyond, always deliver the best result!!

    The most gorgeous wedding flowers

    We loved working with Floresta on our wedding. Carlo was so genuine and interested in our non traditional wedding ideas, and was able to pinpoint exactly what we wanted for our flowers before we asked him for anything. He came up with the most creative ideas for the reception flowers and lights. They created a gorgeous wedding vow backdrop which was turned into a photo wall for our guests after the ceremony. Carlo and the Floresta team were extremely thoughtful and a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

    Elegant, creative bouquets

    Floresta was a dream to work with and really helped our vision come to life. The entire wedding party raved about the flowers and even our venue coordinator said the arrangements were the best he has ever seen. They were so responsive, detail-oriented and easy to work with. They came up with unique flower ideas (black artichokes in my bouquet) and made sure everything fit within our budget. Definitely book with them!!

    Incredible florist!

    Floresta brought our wedding vision to life! Our bridal party and reception floral arrangements were perfect. I had general idea of what I wanted and Carlo knew exactly want to do. All of his suggestions for the type of flowers were so on point. I was looking for a romantic look and that's exactly what I got.

    His entire staff was helpful and answered all of the questions that we had. The process from start to finish was everything we could have asked for from a vendor. Ana, the manager, was so helpful and helped us feel at ease. They were flexible when we had last minute changes and worked our budget. Would definitely recommend and hire them again for future events.

    I'm a loyal Floresta customer. They're, by far, the best florist in the area. I have gotten to know the staff and owner, Carlo, very well. Not only is their work impeccable but they're extremely friendly and welcoming.

    Of course, the moment I got engaged, I knew I wanted Floresta to be my wedding florist. The experience from beginning to end was easy and very fun. My fiancé and I met with Carlo for a consultation and the moment I described my vision, he immediately knew what I wanted. I saw his creative juices flowing and immediately came up with several ideas and options. Carlo is very experienced in weddings, so reviewed every detail, even pointing out things I wasn't considering that were really important to the decor. He was also very realistic and straight forward about price. He worked within our budget and the outcome was amazing. Carlo and his team are true artists. They executed my vision exactly and I could not be more happy with how my wedding turned out.

    Carlo and his staff made our florist choice an easy one. The level of detail and communication throughout our wedding planning process was beyond outstanding (I am very particular with details so working with this vendor was such a breeze). The quality and design of all our arrangements were breathtaking and the service provided the day of the wedding was unmatched. We were over the moon with how beautiful our venue looked at our wedding, from the individually unique flower arrangements that somehow still meshed together well with the overall look & feel of our wedding, to the seamless & extremely efficient setup (and cleanup) provided by his team. They were extremely organized and accommodating to our every want and need for the day. We highly recommend Carlo and his team and look forward to using this vendor again in the future!

    EXCEPTIONAL JOB!
    Carlo and his staff are beyond talented! They are very organized, they checked in with me, very responsive if i had any quesitons and readily available for meetings... just an all around professional and pleasant experience.
    Carlo met with my husband and i after we got engaged... we talked for hours. He wanted to understand exactly what i had in mind, and he wanted to build on that idea. Im so happy i trusted him. His vision was better than i had imagined. My wedding was a fairytale, an array of white flowers in gold vases with pops of brown, green and grey. Our venue said they had never seen a more elegant wedding. And the flowers were much to thank for that!
    VERY Happy Bride :)

    I was not excited to pick out flowers for my wedding because I know nothing about flowers, but that totally changed as soon as I had my first meeting with Carlos. He was amazing in helping me pick out flowers and my husband is a chef so he had ideas to incorporate different herbs into the bouquets. All of our floral elements were beautiful and really made the day. They ended up being one of my favorite parts of my wedding day when I initially had no idea what to do with flowers.

    Floresta is incredible. They did the flowers for our wedding in November and from our first conversation, Carlo understood our vision and literally brought it to life. His and Ana's attention to detail and the care that they take is outstanding. Our wedding was transformed by their hard work, dedication and creativity! Our experience could not have been better and we cannot recommend Floresta more! We will be customers for life! Thank you Floresta, you made our wedding magical!

    Man, I love this place. We recently renovated our office (a design firm), and wanted to order new plants for the office. Our creative director actually *interviewed* florists, and ended up hiring fLo rE sta and More to create small arrangements for everyone's desks. It inspired me to add another succulent to my collection, so asked our office manager who we had used for the office. I have since added two more large arrangements to my collection, because a) the arrangements are lovely and b) super easy to work with. I work in a service role and appreciate the transparency that this place provides me as a client - always upfront about what she can do, how long it will take, price, etc. I definitely recommend them!

    The team at Floresta is not only talented and creative, they are also business savvy and responsive. They are very professional and offered me a lot of options based on what I liked and what my budget. I will think of them for any occasion in the future and I will recommend them to anyone I know or meet for future events/weddings.

    Carlo and his team did an incredible job creating beautiful, unique arrangements for our wedding! He totally understood our creative, eclectic style and vision, and had such a warm, easygoing demeanor during our consultation. We had total trust and faith in him, and he absolutely delivered! (Bridezillas and micromanagers need not apply here!) I really love that we chose a local, Queens-based florist from our neighborhood and can come back to the shop anytime!

    Everyone at Floresta was amazing and extremely helpful! I didn't have a clue what kind of flowers I wanted, but Carlo was patient and helped talk me through it all. He even created three full centerpieces so we could have an accurate idea of what they would look like. Floresta created beautiful centerpieces which were succulents in a large fishbowl. We ended up taking the centerpieces home and putting them on our windowsill. It was great to be able to keep the beautiful flowers. My bouquet was extraordinary too! Even my wedding coordinator commented on how beautiful the bouquets were and on the complexity of the colors.

    I've never had to hire a florist before, and I didn't have a huge budget for flowers, as you can imagine I was freaking out hoping I would make the right choice; after meeting with a few vendors, I found Carlo, we met in his studio, both he and Ana were a pleasure to work with. From the very 1st meeting I always felt that my opinions mattered, I never felt pressured to do anything I didn't want to do. My wedding was in the fall, he was very helpful when trying to help me pin down what flowers will help make my day sparkle ( I had some ideas coming in to the meeting, even if I didn't he was willing to help me start from scratch). Carlo is passionate, a burst of energy (as am I) and dedicated, those were factors I felt were important when choosing a florist. A highlight from the wedding day, when my flowers were brought in for me to approve, he knew my amazing photographer, they hadn't seen each other in a while it seemed like they had loss touch with one another; it was a cute reunion which made me smile because it assured me I was in good hands.

    From the moment we sat down in Carlo's shop we knew we wanted to go with him. The whole experience was probably the most fun part of the wedding planning process and flowers were lower on our priority. Carlo's shop is just wonderful and he knew our venue already so completely shared our vision of the theme we wanted. I would recommend Floresta completely and then you for helping to make our day perfect!

    Besides being my local flower shop when I lived in LIC, Floresta did the flowers for our wedding. What they did and how they did it... Beautiful, perfect.

    Monica and Carlo were extremely helpful and accommodating since the beginning of the process. Monica worked with me to find the perfect balance between budget and beauty.
    I was very specific in the aesthetic I wanted. Monica was able to translate my ideas into amazing, detailed, honest flower arrangements.
    They took care of all the details, the coordination, set up and break down. They personally delivered our beautiful bouquets in the cutest boxes. When I saw them coming in with the arrangements I said to myself.... This wedding is gonna be a success!
    I arrived at the venue to find the flower arrangements be more beautiful and perfect that I could have ever imagined. They went the extra mile, and for that I am thankful for!
    They even made an extra boutonnière for my husband, and thank God! Because he broke the first one trying to put it on! Floresta knows what they are doing, they have the vision and the dedication.

    They have such energy, good energy! They are hard workers and the passion is visible when you look at the work they do.

    I don't think I can post pictures, but this blog has some of the flower arrangements they made for us: laurenfairphotographyblo…

    Carlo and his team were amazing. Months before our wedding, he took 2 hours with my husband and I, explaining the different types of flowers we could choose from (we knew nothing about flowers). He never tried to up-sell us, but when I got nervous about not having enough decor a week before the wedding, he made time to meet with me and find reasonable options to make the room feel more colorful (without adding too much to the total). He also did the flowers for our rehearsal dinner and added a lot of color to the event. We'll definitely use Floresta for other occasions!

    Juan Carlos and the Floresta Family did a wonderful job with the decor for our wedding ceremony and reception! They were always willing to meet and accommodate our specific needs. Juan Carlos is a florest genius and had great ideas! It was all so very beautiful and with Floresta's Flowers, the night was magical!
