    Maria and Larry are floral geniuses!

    My now husband and I had the pleasure of working with Maria and Larry as our florist for our October 22nd wedding. Our venue (Crystal Springs Resort) lists Maria and Larry as a preferred vendor and there is no question why. From the outset, they were invested and interested in our vision. They showed us examples and were not trying to overcharge us for unnecessary extras. We wanted a soft fall color scheme and wanted to use real pumpkins in our centerpieces and Maria and Larry came through! We received many compliments from venue staff and guests about the flowers. Larry was also able to accommodate attaching two sentimental tallises to an outdoor arch on a windy day. Highly recommended! Thank you for helping make our day beautiful.

    Couldn't be happier!!

    Maria and Larry did such a fantastic job with our flowers!! We first met Maria and Larry around 8 months before our wedding. We discussed prior to our meeting what we were looking for. When we met for our meeting, Maria and Larry had put together a sample center piece for us to look at. And they NAILED it! It was perfect and after that we couldn't wait to work with them.

    On the day of the wedding, Maria and Larry took care of decorating the arch, the aisle, the center pieces, the cocktail hour, and our bouquets and boutonnieres (of course!). My bouquet was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen! It brought me to tears. Everything was set up so perfectly, we were in awe. Thank you, Maria and Larry, for helping to create our dream wedding!

    Beautiful Florals on our Special Day!

    Making Our Wedding a Blooming Success!

    Maria and Larry from Floral Expressions deserve all the praise in the world for the exceptional floral arrangements they provided for our wedding on June 24, 2023, at Crystal Springs Resort. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in the hands of true artists, and they brought our floral dreams to life in the most magical way!

    Their creativity and attention to detail were evident from the start. During our initial consultation, Maria and Larry listened intently to our vision and preferences, offering valuable suggestions that perfectly complemented our wedding theme.

Each arrangement was a work of art, exuding elegance, beauty, and an undeniable touch of romance. The floral designs were beyond our expectations and created a warm and inviting atmosphere that left a lasting impression on all our guests.

    The personal flowers for the bridal party were equally breathtaking. The bouquets for the bridesmaids were gorgeously coordinated, and my bridal bouquet was an absolute dream come true. It perfectly matched my vision, and I couldn't have asked for anything more beautiful. The groomsmen, fathers, and mothers all looked dashing with their boutonnieres and corsages, adding a touch of sophistication to the entire affair.

    One of the most impressive aspects of working with Maria and Larry was their ability to handle the entire bridal party's flowers with ease and professionalism. With a sizable group, we were worried about the logistics, but they flawlessly executed the delivery and distribution of the flowers, ensuring everyone received their arrangements on time.

    Their dedication to their craft and their clients was evident throughout the entire planning process. They were responsive, accommodating, and even took the time to make adjustments to the arrangements as needed. Their genuine passion for what they do was infectious, and it truly felt like they were invested in making our wedding day extraordinary.

    Maria and Larry's work truly elevated our wedding to new heights, and we received countless compliments from our guests about the stunning floral arrangements. We can't thank them enough for their outstanding service and for making our wedding day even more beautiful than we had ever imagined.

    If you're in search of a florist who will bring your floral dreams to life and create an enchanting atmosphere for your special day, look no further than Maria and Larry at Floral Expressions. Their talent, professionalism, and personalized touch make them stand out as one of the best in the industry. We wholeheartedly recommend them to all future brides and grooms!

    With deepest gratitude and admiration,

    Michelle and James

    Fresh and Full Bouquets

    Maria and Larry were absolutely amazing for our wedding! We had full and fresh bouquets, center pieces, arch sprays and memorial table flowers. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process and helped up put together our center pieces. They were on time the day of the wedding and we didn't have to worry about a thing. They made sure everything was ready to go and all the bouquets were full with vibrant and fresh flowers. We couldn't have asked for better fresh flowers that held all night and even the week after. We highly recommend Maria and Larry for anyone needing wedding flowers, they truly helped us through the process and Maria explained to us all of the fresh flowers, colors and what was in seasons etc., she taught us a lot at the same time as ensuring we would have the best flowers for our perfect day.

    Highly recommend

    Maria and Larry designed our florals for our April 2023 wedding at Ballyowen Golf Club in Hamburg, NJ. They were personable and able to accommodate are relatively quick timeline. They sent us lots of suggestions to ensure they matched what we were looking for. It was raining the day of our ceremony and they were able to adapt the display for our outside arch into one that fit the inside arch. Their pricing was also very reasonable and flexible. We were able to make decisions to ensure we stayed in budget. We highly recommend them!

    Amazing Transformation

    Maria and Larry were a true pleasure to work with. They make the process of deciding what can be done to make your day special without going over budget. My friend got married at Ballyowen Golf Club in Hamburg, New Jersey. The location is beautiful, however the bare bones of the reception venue definitely need a soft touch. Maria and Larry to the rescue. The way they were able to transform that space into a light and airy floral oasis is beyond me. It went from a pub like room to a romantic, beautiful and elegant reception area. All of the little touches on the centerpieces, the arrangement of dangling flowers and leaves from the ceiling over the dance floor, the graceful drapery in the entrance way and so much more. You can tell they put love and attention to everything that they do and it was truly appreciated by all of the guests.

    Black Bear Golf Course

    Maria and Larry absolutely CRUSHED IT with the flowers for our wedding! When we had our first meeting at their house to go over my vision, I knew we had to book them. When I got to the ceremony everything was exactly as I imagined it, maybe even more! You will not regret booking them.

    AMAZING florist!!!

    I can’t even begin to say how amazing and beautiful our wedding flowers came out!! We found Floral expressions in our venue’s brochure of preferred vendors and we can’t thank them enough for making our vision come to life! Maria and Larry were so great to work with and they did such an amazing job with taking our sunflower inspiration pictures and creating something beautiful. We had so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful the flowers were. Our sunflower wedding was everything we had hoped it would be thanks to Floral expressions!!! We would highly recommend them for your wedding flowers!!

    Beautiful Flowers and Nicest People!

    We loved working with Maria and Larry for our wedding! They were more than flexible when we had to postpone our 2020 wedding to 2021. We loved that they only supply one wedding per day. They worked with our budget and provided us with BEAUTIFUL bouquets, boutonnieres, duchess roses for the mothers, centerpieces, cake decor, and flowers for our Welcome Sign. In addition to being so professional and talented, they were also just so sweet and kind, giving the true meaning to “mom and pop” shop!

    Gorgeous Job!

    Maria and Larry provided absolutely gorgeous flowers for our wedding!! Everything was breathtaking, from the bouquets to the chuppah. My favorite part of the ceremony decor was that they have a gold metal chuppah which looked so chic. Maria took my vision and made it a reality. She was also such a pleasure to work with! Thank you for bringing so much beauty to our special day. (photo credits: Haley Richter Photography)

    Exactly What We Were Looking For!

    Maria and Larry were great professionals to work with for our floral arrangements on our wedding day. We first heard about them through a family friend, who worked with them on her wedding day. She mentioned how Maria and Larry were able to work within her budget and offer great service. We, too, found that they offered us exactly what we were looking for in our arrangements! They were also very flexible with payments. The day-of, everything was delivered promptly and displayed beautifully. Thank you, Maria & Larry, for working with us on our special day!

    Simply Lovely

    Maria is simply amazing and conducts her business with passion! The center pieces she puts together was the perfect accent to our wedding decor! I showed her a picture and rambled on how I wanted a rustic/chic kinda mood with lanterns and candles also playing a big part. With just that vague description, she created exactly what I’d envisioned. She had so many great suggestions and helped us picked flowers that would do well with the season/whether. She was very flexible (especially since we had to rescheduled and reshuffled everything due to Covid). Was very professional and delivered everything on time and organized the most beautiful setup. I could not have been more pleased with the setup and how everything turned out.
    Highly highly recommended!

    Fantastic Experience! Wow! Danielle's Wedding

    Our daughter Danielle had her wedding and reception at the Crystal Springs Grand Cascades Lodge in Hamburg New Jersey on Sunday July 28, 2019.
    Danielle and her fiancé, Landon, do not live in New Jersey. So, when looking for a florist for the wedding they decided to look at vendors that were recommended by their venue. Floral Expressions was on the list. So, Danielle contacted Maria and Larry, owners of Floral Expressions, via facetime, to see if they were available and if they would be a good fit for her wedding. (Moose, Danielle & Landon’s chocolate lab, also participated). Danielle made an immediate connection with Maria and Larry. Danielle had decided that Maria and Larry were doing the wedding and started looking forward to seeing her vision come together. After speaking with them a few more times, Danielle sent them some photos of what she had in mind for her bouquets, arbor, and center pieces. We met with Maria and Larry when Danielle was back in New Jersey. When we walked into their office we immediately recognized the center piece for the wedding reception. Maria and Larry had taken the information Danielle provided, and turned it into exactly what she wanted. The meeting went very well as the bouquets that were shown, were again, exactly what Danielle had requested. Maria and Larry then showed Danielle a photo of the arbor which complimented the rest of the flowers perfectly and tied everything together. We were very impressed that Maria and Larry listened to Danielle and never tried to recommend a different vision for her wedding. As the wedding started to get closer the communication was excellent and before we knew it, her wedding day had arrived. The flowers were amazing! We could not have been happier at how Danielle’s vision came to life in the flowers for the arbor, the bouquets for the girls, the cocktail hour centerpieces, and the centerpieces for the reception. Everywhere we looked we saw exactly what Danielle had envisioned. Larry and Maria were so easy to work with through the entire process and delivered in a big way on the day of the wedding! The flowers were perfect!
    We received so many compliments on the flowers at the wedding and continued to hear more accolades many days after the big day. We highly recommend Maria and Larry as they were always available, professional and very competitive with their pricing. They exceeded our expectations and we are grateful to have had such a wonderful experience.

    The most amazing vendor

    I cannot share enough love for Maria and our wedding flowers! Throughout planning, Maria offered so much warmth, support, creativity, and passion for what she does. She made the experience so meaningful and truly took the time to bring my vision to life. She worked with my budget and made honest recommendations... the pictures speak for themselves! Thank you so much, Maria! xoxo

    Awesome flowers!

    It was a pleasure to work with Maria and Larry for our wedding. We knew absolutely nothing about flowers, but Maria was patient and kind in working with us, helping walk us through the hundreds if not thousands of options with ease. The bouquets and boutonnieres were absolutely beautiful, and we received many compliments on them from the guests. We don’t have a single complaint, and we highly recommend them!

    Perfect Florals

    This review is long overdue. I got married last October at the Woodcliff Manor in NJ, and I highly recommend Larry & Maria Floral Expressions. I came to Larry with an idea of using succulents, and he created super creative centerpieces that looked awesome and captured the whimsical and nature-inspired vibe of the wedding. Also, I didn’t really have any idea what I wanted for my bouquet, just overall style and colors, and the ones he created were perfect for the venue, time of year, and style I wanted. Working with them was super easy and they are such lovely people. Thanks for everything and for making our day so special!

    The first time I worked with Maria & Larry was 12 years ago and I have worked with them again for my Oct wedding. They offer great value, make beautiful arrangements, are easy to work with and can bring your vision to life. I loved my flowers from the bouquets to the ceremony to the reception. I had a fall rustic garden wedding theme and received so many compliments on my flowers. I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for wedding florist.

    Maria and Larry were wonderful to work with. They were both so patient throughout the entire process - even when I completely changed my mind on my color scheme and type of centerpieces! They were so helpful in coming up with different ideas and really listened to what I wanted. On the day of, they more than exceeded my expectations. Everything was absolutely perfect and more than I could have imagined. It is clear that they both really take the time to understand your vision and deliver on it - truly everything that I had pictured in my mind came to life the day of! Their prices are also very fair and they are so responsive and always willing to set up a meeting.

Maria's knowledge and expertise was wonderful and she was able to offer so many great ideas!

    Thank you for making our wedding flowers perfect!!

    Maria and Larry are wonderful! They were an absolute pleasure to work with and created beautiful centerpieces and bouquets. I entered their door with a million picture and no decisive answers for them and, somehow, Maria brought my vision to life even though I couldn't even clearly articulate it. They created a sample and a second sample to make sure that we were truly happy with our centerpieces and on the day of they delivered on every level. Thank you so much!

    Worked with Larry and Maria to plan flowers for our wedding. My wife's bouquet was the most beautiful I've ever seen. Larry was very helpful when picking out flowers. We didn't know the first thing about flowers, we spent 2 hours with Larry (mostly answering our questions) and at the end we had beautiful flowers. They do a really pretty flower for the mothers of bride/groom. Larry delivered the flowers on time, at various locations. Very pleased with their service!
