Maria G. Sent on 08/03/2022Gorgeous wedding flowers!
I was obsessed with my bridal bouquet and my wedding day flowers! Julia, Lindsay and team nailed the flowers for my wedding in July in Brooklyn. My flowers were gorgeous big blooms of pink, peach, and coral peonies, roses, dahlia and other complimentary flowers. I kid you not, when I left for my honeymoon a day after my wedding, it actually made me sad that it cut short the time I'd have to admire the table arrangements I had brought home from my wedding. I was jealous of my guests who took home bud vases and got to enjoy them for longer! Truly, these flowers were stunning.
I am a person who likes to plan out every detail of something and know to the greatest degree of certainty how something will turn out. Because of this, I found envisioning my wedding flowers to be one of the more difficult and anxiety inducing things in my wedding planning. Unlike a wedding dress or invitation, the final product of your wedding flowers is not something you will ever fully see until it is executed on your actual wedding day. But, if you are like me, then you are in good hands with Julia Testa. During the planning process, her team creates a mood board that shows the types of flowers and colors that will be used for your vision. They take detailed notes and include them on your inventory-- anything can be revised, taken away or added up until a few weeks prior to your wedding.
Julia and her team are also very responsive to emails. I even asked them questions about table runners that I had obtained on my own and they were happy to give well-thought out feedback on which color and style would coordinate best with my flowers.
The most helpful thing, though, was two days before my wedding, Julia emailed me a mock-up photo of my bridal bouquet from the shop and asked for my feedback. It was skewing a bit more white than I had envisioned so I responded to Julia by more specifically referencing an inspo photo on my mood board and letting her know that I'd like something a bit closer to that picture with bigger blooms and pops of colors. Julia responded no problem and within a few hours she sent me a revised mock-up photo that was right on the money. This interaction put me at ease and actually made me even more excited to see my flowers. I really appreciated Julia giving me the opportunity to see what my bouquet would look like and offer my thoughts before everything was finalized.
You will be in good hands with Julia Testa! -

I loved how my flowers turned out for our intimate church ceremony. We went with a simple, all-white (and some greenery) look--Julia Testa executed it perfectly. We worked together entirely through email due to COVID, which was difficult since we are very visual and would have preferred in-person, but their staff was patient in answering our emails. The only slight issue we had with our flowers on the day-of was their size. I had sent a photo for inspiration of two large alter arrangements, which they used to gauge their quote. The arrangement day-of was smaller than we originally anticipated, but still beautiful nonetheless! The staff was kind enough to send a close-up picture of the flowers the day before, which added to our overall excitement and anticipation for our actual wedding day. Overall, we were very happy with everything! -

Madison G. Sent on 11/01/2021Beautiful flowers and Amazing customer service!
I can’t say enough good things about Christine and the entire wedding department at Julia Testa! I had been emailing with Christine for MONTHS during covid discussing florals for my wedding and throughout the entire process she was so kind and patient with me. I am a very indecisive person, so she had to make a handful of changes to the original proposal, but she made sure everything turned out perfectly for me! We finally had our wedding October 2021 and the flowers were absolutely gorgeous! My bouquet was beautiful and I had guests coming up to me at the reception to tell me how beautiful our centerpieces were! Thank you SO much Christine and Julia Testa! You helped make our wedding day perfect! -

Fairy Tales really do come true! I had my wedding ceremony/reception at 620 Loft & Garden which is a blank event space. Julia Testa, Christine, and the rest of the wedding team helped make my dreams a reality. The only descriptions I had of what I was looking for were "pastels" "orchids" "modern? I think" It takes a true floral master to turn those few words into the landscape of cascading greenery and white orchids for tablescape/center pieces, bountiful arch full of pink roses, white rose petals for an aisle, acrylic crystals and pastel flowers adorning the long space... The list goes on. Every person at that wedding was floored by the pure beauty of flowers that enhanced the already beautiful NYC skyline. We absolutely cannot wait to use them at our next event!

Anna R. Sent on 09/19/2021Beautiful Summer Wedding Florals
We worked with Julia Testa and Christine on our summer wedding florals and were so impressed! Julia’s team was flexible when we had to push our wedding back a year because of COVID, and we kicked off planning again earlier this year. The flowers were so beautiful and Julia’s team really helped bring my vision featuring garden florals to life. The result was both outstanding and picturesque. -

Valerie Sent on 10/01/2018It wasn’t ever a second guess who I was going to have made my wedding arrangements. Julia has impeccable taste. She’s the Calvin Klein of Florists. Classic, chic. Modern & flowing. Not only is she easy to get a hold of, and very reliable, She has an amazing eye and talent for what she does and makes every piece with exceptional care and thoughtfulness! I gave her a tiny idea and she made my day delightful.

Beatriz Sent on 10/05/2018Definitely would recommend this place. They got my vision and exactly what I wanted for my wedding bouquet! I've also bought little flower arrangements for around the house and succulents. They were really kind as well and were there to answer all my questions and emails ! Love this place !

Loralee Sent on 11/06/2017Julia and her team were incredible. We had a specific vibe and vision in mind: we were going for an autumnal harvest dinner family style with bud vases, vegetables, and unusual table dressing and we also wanted a floral chandelier to serve as our chuppah. From our initial call, Julia completely understood our vision and what we were going for. She is a clear communicator and assured us that we would be getting the best bang for our buck with her. And boy, did she execute the vision beyond our dreams! I can't stress enough how professional, communicative and detail oriented Julia and her team were. She even offered to send me pictures on the day of as they put our chandelier together! They went above and beyond to ensure we were receiving what we wanted and even sent me directions on how to dry my bouquet after the event.

Cassandra Sent on 03/13/2023This florist only cares about big brands and large wedding clients
Disappointed. When my (now) husband showed up with my “custom” bridal bouquet I paid $343 for, I was too tired (with wedding planning) to fight at that point- so, I accepted defeat.
I was excited when I first contacted Julia Testa’s company because they were responsive and provided a vision board based on what colors I wanted for my elopement at Top of the Rock. What they provided was far from what they sent in the bright orange/pink vision board (photos included). I paid $350 for a bouquet that had about 4 rananculus and 3 peonies- in the wrong colors (purple) and wrong style (I selected flowy/cascading).
Did it ruin my wedding? No! But- when you pay THAT much for flowers, I’d expect them to be consistent with what was promised. These flowers are in our photos we will have forever, and they look fine- but it’s not what I wanted.
I emailed them, received a response saying they want to make it right- but then nothing. I also sent a message on Instagram and they just left me on read.
They are hired by big names for store floral design and PR packages- they post and show case those a lot, and it really seems that those clients are the ones they care about… don’t mind my small Top of the Rock wedding ceremony- Julia Testa!
Spare yourselves the potential disappointment ladies! -

Lindsay Sent on 06/10/2018I hired Julia to do the floral arrangements for my wedding and it was a complete disaster. Not only is she rude and unprofessional, she completely ignored the photos I had shown her and we had met and agreed upon and did whatever she wanted. The first photo is the cake flowers I requested and the second is the cake flowers she did. She said she "went a little crazy". If you want someone to completely ignore what you want this is your florist.
Not only that, we also ordered a $45 flower crown (not cheap) and it literally broke before the flower girl could walk to the ceremony.
When these things were brought to her attention she was rude and actually brought up how inconvenienced she was that she had to actually drop off the flowers/bouquets/boutineers at 6pm for a 7:30pm wedding. Our photography started at 6pm so myself and bridal party needed our bouquets and boutineers by then. When you're paying someone thousands of dollars this should be understood and you should feel like your inconveniencing someone. She told me she was annoyed she missed dinner plans with her parents.
The only vendor I had a terrible experience with. Save yourself the headache and go with a professional. -
