    The Best Florist in NYC

    Richard is truly the best florist to hire if you know you need flowers, but don't want to pay your first-born. His storefront and website are very lowkey, but don't let that deter you from having incredible flowers at your event. He got our vibe perfectly and was super easy to work with at the trial to change around colors and flowers to get what we wanted perfectly. He's not going to send you a manicured look book, but has plenty of examples of arrangements and has an unbeatable price!

    Wonderful Florist

    I absolutely loved working with Richard. The flowers turned out SO beautifully and the pricing was very reasonable. I had a few back and forths on what I wanted and he listened and executed perfectly. I would definitely hire him if you can!

    Absolutely Wonderful

    I absolutely loved working with Flowers by Richard. Richard is such a wonderful energy! He really listens to what you want and helps work with you to keep your vision alive and stay in budget!

    The flowers and décor all looked amazing on the day! So many people complimented our gorgeous arch. I wanted a more simple bouquet but he made sure it was still exquisite! Thank you so much Richard!

    Absolutely beautiful arrangements

    Richard and his staff are incredible. The arrangements were absolutely beautiful and Richard truly does care for each couple. He made my fiancee feel very at ease after a fruitless search of many flower vendors. The wedding arrangements he created for us were absolutely gorgeous and he spent a great deal of time with us designing our arrangements to our preferences. Go with Richard and you will not regret it. Richard is amazing. Thank you Richard!!!

    Touch of beauty and elegance

    We were not too happy to have to search high and lo for a florist and deal with the high expense of it but Richard truly made it so easy and stress-free. He was amazing to work with throughout the process and was very happy to work within our budget. We just told him what we wanted and he delivered beyond what we expected. He also had a brilliant idea on how we can display flowers near our ceremony altar. It turned out beautifully. Our guests could not stop remarking on all the flowers and especially how stunning they were at the Reception. He truly made our wedding feel elegant and dreamlike. We would definitely recommend Richard for your wedding and feel lucky we found him for ours!

    If you are in the NYC area, then you know florists can quote you an exorbitant amount for flowers. I had sticker shock especially when it came to wedding florals but luckily I found Richard! He does beautiful work and his prices are so reasonable. During one of our first meetings, he even came up with cost saving idea for me that did not take away from my vision. Richard is amazing and patient and very talented! If you go to his shop in person on a Friday, you'll be able to see real centerpieces and bouquets and they are just lovely! You also get to see mock-ups of your florals which was greatly helpful. Seriously, just hire him! You'll be very happy on your wedding day!

    Richard made the most beautiful bouquet for my wedding. When we started working together, almost 1 year prior to the wedding, I had an idea of incorporating orchids into my bouquet. He was totally fine with it and gave me his opinion on the type of bouquet that I should get. We told him our budget and he made sure to stay within that budget. As the wedding approached, I changed my mind about the kind of flowers that I wanted. Richard was super excited about my choice of roses and peonies. He made the most beautiful bridal bouquet I could imagine. I am incredibly grateful and I hope to re-order a bridal arrangement with the same flowers for our 1-year anniversary. We loved working with Richard. He is incredibly willing and trustworthy. We are absolutely grateful!

    I’m so happy we chose to work with Flowers by Richard for our October 2017 wedding. Richard was a pleasure to work with, encouraged me to send him photos of arrangements I liked, offered great suggestions, and the final product (18 high and low table arrangements, bouquets and additional centerpieces) were all stunning and his prices were extremely fair for his high quality services.

    Richard was a dream to work with, his flower arrangements were absolutely beautiful for our wedding. We had a small issue with the color of the roses in the bouquets which I noticed after delivery, but after a quick call to Richard it was corrected immediately no questions asked. As an NYC bride on a budget I was glad to come across Richard who really worked to give me exactly what I wanted with out going over my specific budget. Thank you so much Richard!!

    I loved Richard the minute I met him. He was no pressure, He was flexible. He listened to what we wanted, made some suggestions, showed us examples, etc. Walking into his little store is usually amazing as he is preparing flowers for opening nights on Broadway or for some affair someplace. He was dependable. Everything showed up on time and extremely reasonable compared to what I have heard of others. I will forever go to him for any of my future needs.

    I went to Flowers by Richard for my NYC wedding this past May. Richard was so friendly and understanding of my budget. i gave him ideas of style bouquets and centerpieces I wanted, and he made them more beautiful than I could have imagined.

    I also had some last minute changes for my ceremony due to rain and he came up with great ideas on how we can decorate the ceremony on short notice.

    My friends and family still keep telling me how beautiful and tasteful the flowers were!

    I would highly recommend Richard.

    Flowers by Richard did a wonderful job on our wedding flowers. Richard was very easy to work with, reasonably priced, and a talented florist. I gave him an idea of what I envisioned and a color scheme, and he truly brought my vision to life. He was able to accommodate the budget that I gave him, and even threw in a couple of extras, like flowers for our wedding cake. I would highly recommend Flowers by Richard!

    I initially did not think I could afford flowers in my wedding budget. I was going to instead buy wholesale flowers through Costco. However, I was convinced otherwise and I am so happy I did! I found Richard and explained to him the dilemma I was in. I had a low budget and a vision to pull off. Richard became my fairy godfather. He created beautiful arrangements and even threw in extra details. I am so grateful to him! He worked with me throughout the whole planning stage and every time I spoke to him made me feel like family. I highly recommend Richard to all couples planning a wedding. He will make your day beautiful and makes all your dreams come true.

    Flowers by Richard was so easy to work with! I handled all communication with them over email, with just one phone call to make the payment. I had a hard time finding a photo that exactly matched the bouquet I had in mind, but I shared a few photos with a description of what I liked about each. From that information, they were able to create a beautiful bouquet that was exactly what I was looking for. Their delivery was prompt and all bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres were gorgeous.

    Richard was the florist for our July wedding, and did an excellent job. I was not looking to spend a lot on flowers, as they were not that important to me. Richard worked with my budget and created beautiful centerpieces and bouquets, with not a lot of guidance from me. I made the centerpieces myself and had Richard and his team put them together and add the flowers - they turned out better than I had imagined. Richard was so sweet and super easy to work with!

    We loved working with Flowers by Richard! He definitely knows what he is doing, but is willing to listen to what you want and don't want for your big day. The bouquets, centerpieces, and aisle decorations that he prepared for our wedding were spot on, and we are so, so glad to have worked with him and his team. On the day of, everything was delivered on time and exactly as discussed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Richard to other couples!

    Wonderful! Thanks so much to everyone at Flowers by Richard for their hard work preparing and setting up the flowers for our wedding. Everything was gorgeous and corresponded to exactly what we wanted. Richard is so different from many of the other florists we spoke to: he allowed us to decide what we wanted and offered gentle suggestions, while other florists told us what we were "expected" to do and didn't seem too concerned with what we wanted. Richard was so flexible and listened carefully to what we wanted. Thanks for that!

    I had a very particular bouquet in mind and Richard was able to recreate what I showed him in a picture to a t! The flowers were also wrapped beautifully when they showed up at the hotel. If you are looking for a florist in NYC for a special event, Flowers by Richard is a great choice!

    I found Richard and his shop through great reviews on Wedding Wire and Yelp. I was still pleasantly surprised by how easygoing and how accommodating he was. We met twice to discuss the kinds of flowers I wanted after I sent him pictures (of arrangements using both real and fake flowers). With his suggestions, we decided on bouquets and centerpieces that looked better than I had imagined.

    We also asked for a special remembrance piece where I only specified the kind of flower I wanted. Richard came up with the rest - we ended up getting a beautiful table arrangement of Asiatic lilies.

    We also asked for centerpieces that doubled as aisle decorations. As expected, a few of those centerpieces were knocked over and broken during the ceremony but Richard and his guys prepared for this. They had brought extras so our reception had centerpieces on every table.

    It was no fuss, no muss. The delivery of the flowers to the venue was on time and the flowers all looked fresh.

    Richard was super easy to work with! Despite the countless emails I sent him regarding certain changes I wanted, he took note of everything! The entire process was just stress free. Come our wedding day, all the details for each flower arrangement I ordered were on point. And the reception flowers were just amazing! Everyone wanted to take them home. Lush, colorful and just eye catching, everything was perfect...without breaking the bank! Highly recommended!!!

    I used Flowers by Richard for my August 16th wedding at Trump SoHo. The venue initially recommended another flower vendor, which I found to be extremely overpriced. I was able to find this vendor through wedding wire and was thrilled after having the opportunity to meet with Richard. He was always responsive to my emails / phone calls, flexible with last minute additions and changes, and provided the most beautiful flowers for our wedding. Richard set up a table display for me and my mother to see at his office a month before the wedding and we were blown away with the quality and quantity of flowers that he was able to provide us at such a reasonable cost. The purple hydrangeas mixed with roses and floating candles were GORGEOUS and we received so many complements from our guests on the wedding day (people were actually arguing over the flower arrangements to be able to take them home). The bridal bouquet and bridesmaids flowers were equally beautiful and I could not be happier with the service from Richard and his staff. I highly recommend this vendor, your floral arrangements will be wonderful!
