    The absolute BEST!

    Karen was recommended to me by quite a few of my other vendors, and I completely understand why! Karen is the absolute BEST! She truly made all of my floral dreams come true! She perfectly executed my vision based mostly just on my descriptions to her of what I was looking for.
    She's truly an artist! And she made the entire process so seamless and wonderful. She is incredibly responsive and so warm, and I absolutely loved working with her every step of the way. I could not recommend Karen more highly!!

    Karen is the absolute BEST!

    It has been months since our wedding, and I am still obsessed with Karen and her team! The florals for our wedding day turned out more beautiful than we could ever imagine. She is a true artist – Karen really listened attentively to what we wanted / what we envisioned, but she made all our florals come to life in a way we didn’t think possible. My bouquet alone was to DIE FOR – if I could have frozen it in time, I would have! Same goes for our ceremony arch – it was spectacular!

    We had a lot of requirements and also brought some of our own vases and bows to work with, and Karen couldn’t have been more helpful or creative in incorporating all of those details into our big day. She transformed our venue in just a few hours, and I was in awe with how beautiful everything turned out. Plus, our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the flowers were!

    Just as impressive as the setup was the tear-down. Karen took charge of everything at the end of the evening – putting the flowers in mason jars (that we provided) for our guests to take home (they all went!) as well as wrapped and packed all the items we have provided. My mom handmade Turks Head Sailor knot napkin rings – which we never expected to see again – but Karen collected them all and boxed them up. Just a surprising detail or care for our wishes and our memories!

    We have no shortage of amazing things to say about Karen and her team. From the moment we saw her work online and on Instagram, she immediately stood out to us. And her beautiful arrangements on the day of our wedding, were more amazing and beautiful than we ever could have hoped for or imagined! We’d choose Karen and her team 1000x over!!

    Stunning florals

    Karen Lenahan provided flowers for our ceremony and reception as well as for all of our events the day prior - we loved all of the floral designs! Our ceremony circle, bouquets and reception flowers were stunning and our head table was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Karen was so easy to work with throughout the planning process and we highly recommend working with her!

    Incredible!!

    Karen was an absolute dream to work with. After 3 years of postponements due to covid we were finally able to have our wedding in May 2022 at Gurneys Resort in Montauk, New York. Needless to say after our initial consult, three years prior to our wedding date, our vision for our wedding completely changed. Karen never missed a beat and accomdated every single change and request we made. She created the MOST stunning "floral chandelier" that I have ever seen and my guests still talk about how gorgeous our reception room was. I couldn't recommend Karen enough !!!

    Wedding Florals

    I absolutely loved working with Karen for my wedding day florals and design! Throughout our planning process Karen was so helpful and flexible. When we walked into the reception we were blown away by Karen’s work and her attention to every single detail. We had met over the phone several times leading up to the wedding and I could tell that she had listened to all of our visions and executed in the most beautiful way! In addition to her talent, Karen is an absolute pleasure to work with- kind, personable, fun, and incredibly sweet!

    We couldn't have asked for a better vendor to work with. Karen and Dan are professional and responsive, and they are both so talented and kind. Karen and Dan understood our wants, and also made wonderful suggestions (that my less-than-artistic mind would never have dreamed up). Can't say enough good things about these two.

    Beautiful wedding flowers and lighting!

    We worked with Karen for our wedding flowers and her husband Dan for lighting. They were wonderful to work with and really brought our vision to life. I had a clear vision and Karen worked closely with me to make it come to life. There were also items that had to be last minute/without my direction but Karen blew me away and it was all so beautiful. We thought no one notices flowers/lighting but everyone can't stop mentioning how elegant and beautiful the flowers and lighting were.

    We lovedddd our flowers!

    We had Karen do our flowers and design for our Northfork wedding at the Halyard in Greenport this past September. Our first meeting was at the venue and she is super sweet and makes you feel at total ease. She listened to what we were looking for and totally nailed it! Our flowers were stunning and we received so many compliments on them. There was so much detail put into everything and the flowers were excellent quality. We also rented some other pieces from her like a driftwood arbor and stunning floating water candles. I absolutely loved working with her. She is absolutely worth every penny. My husband and I could not have been happier hiring her and she really made the whole experience wonderful!

    KAREN LENAHAN DESIGNS's reply:

    Hello! Thank you so much for the wonderful review !! It was such a joy working with you both and we were so honored to be a part of your special day!! All the love and happiness in the world to you both! XO

    Karen is incredible to work with. The flowers at our wedding were beautiful. She was able to execute my vision while providing her creative touch and expertise. When I saw the venue, I felt like my Pinterest dreams had come to life. My wedding was at the Bridgehampton Tennis & Surf Club 9/8/18.

    I had a very hard time getting in touch with Hamptons florists. Most wanted me to wait until November/December 2017 to discuss my September 2018 wedding. Karen spoke with me over Labor Day Weekend (!) 2017 for about an hour. We discussed my vision, her execution, and costs. From that moment, I knew I wanted to work with her. Karen continuously exceeded my expectations over the year. She met me and my mom at Party Rental in February 2018 to work on table cloths and chairs and how they would mix with the florals. She even stayed around to help us on our rehearsal dinner aesthetic (we did our own flowers for that), when most vendors would have bolted.

    We also met at the flower market in August 2018 where Karen picked flowers that would be in season and available for September 2018 and showed me possible bouquets and arrangements. It was so fabulous seeing the flowers in person.

    Karen is extremely conscious and aware of budgets. We had a close family member paying for our florals and Karen was aware of this. We discussed areas to cut (like certain ceremony flowers to help keep costs down), so I completely disagree with the review below about her blasé attitude. I actually felt the exact opposite.

    Karen is also very honest about what the costs are. She provides a detailed breakdown in her proposal on the Chuppah costs, bouquet, candle rentals, etc. So you know where your money is going.

    Dan also did our backyard rehearsal dinner lighting, which was incredible.

    Thank you Karen and Dan—you are a dream!

    Hello! Thank you so much for such a detailed review! It was so great to work with you both and be a part of your special day....and meeting at the market, super fun! All the love and happiness in the world to you both and please keeping touch!

    Karen is the best! She is so accommodating but also honest! Floral is an overwhelming area for me and its easy to feel like your all over the place. Karen was awesome at giving her opinion, and helping as well as keeping my vision for exactly what I wanted. Throughout the process she always gave me answers to questions quickly and with no hesitation. We went flower shopping in the city at the flower market, and it was one of my favorite wedding planning experiences. Her husband Dan did all my lighting, and it looked beautiful! Our ceremony arch was built by them as well and it fit the scene perfectly at Gurneys. Karen and Dan both go above and beyond and they made my wedding vision come to life. It was truly dreamy!

    KAREN LENAHAN DESIGNS's reply:

    Hello Hannah,
    Congratulations again to you both! Thank you so much again for having us be a part of your beautiful wedding! I know you are in the same business and had many choices... so we truly thank you for choosing to work with us! Looking forward to working with you on other events and all the love and happiness in the world to you both!

    BEST FLORIST IN THE HAMPTONS BY FAR! Karen Lenahan and her team completely surpassed all of my expectations for my wedding at Gurney’s Montauk August 4th, 2018. I was very indecisive, and her patience, incredibly fair prices, and insight were a god send. Karen even met us at the flower market in NYC to show us the exact flowers she was using. Her personal touch is unreal. My wedding arch and flower wall were my absolute favorite. The tall centerpieces were so incredibly beautiful without over taking the table- I really don’t know how she does it! All I told her was that I wanted something “fun and colorful” for the flower wall and it was as if she knew exactly what I was thinking and made it better! My guests said that you could smell the roses even before going into the banquet hall. If you are having a wedding or event in the Hamptons and want exceptional design, I urge you to use Karen Lenahan design!

    KAREN LENAHAN DESIGNS's reply:

    Hello! Such a pleasure working working with you both....I can not get enough of your photos!! Such a fabulous wedding!! I have had so many new clients wanting that flower wall!! Have a wonderful life together and please keep in touch! xo

    Truly Impressed!

    Karen designed flowers for our intimate wedding in Greenport. She was amazing to work with and provided so many great suggestions throughout the process. My bouquet was so beautiful - better than I could have ever imagined! Our table setting floral arrangements were stunning and looked so perfect for spring! We were so impressed with the final product and so happy we made the decision to work with Karen and Dan!

    Karen is absolutely the best in the business!! Her designs are impeccable, elegant, and quite simply gorgeous, without breaking the bank. She is a dream to work with -- upbeat, brilliantly informed, incredibly responsive, and a joy to have around on your wedding day. Particularly as a flower novice myself, the morning I spent walking through the NYC flower market with Karen was one of the highlights of the wedding planning process for me. We had an outdoor tent wedding and had to start planning decor from scratch. Picking the flowers at the market, seeing the shapes and colors in person, and working through the design with her really brought the whole day to life. She let us lead the concept entirely but helped direct us to the best choices for the climate, setting, and time of year. I can't recommend her highly enough!!

    Karen and her husband did an incredible job on the flowers for our June wedding. She was easy to work with throughout the entire process and actually had fun choosing the flowers! We also rented vases, uplighting and our chuppah from her. All of our guests commented on how gorgeous everything looked. Thank you, Karen!

    We loved working with Karen! Karen is so creative & brings a vision to life... AND she's so fun to work with. We outlined an overall vision and let Karen create. Create she did. We were blown away with our wedding flowers & received so many compliments. Best way to describe our flowers: elegant, dramatic, warm. memorable, distinctive. When we entered our ceremony it took our breathe away and our reception had such a memorable look. We would recommend providing Karen creative freedom because she's truly an artist that brings her art to life with flowers.

    Karen was amazing to work with!! I met with her in NYC and we walked thru the flower market together. She walked me through all the different flowers and we talked about the vision I had for the for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. She totally got it and made it all come to life! She rounded out the flowers by adding candles everywhere. It was beautiful! She was so easy to work with and was able to make last minute changes to my order. She did all of this while working in our budget! THANK YOU KAREN!

    My wife and I are the management team of a wedding venue, and it was a simple decision as to who we would choose for our flowers: Karen Lenahan.

    We see a lot of florists at our venue, and some are certainly not worth the money people pay. A few florists arrive with dried up selections.

    I can assure you that Karen Lenahan is supremely talented and a pure delight to work with. We've recommended Karen many times to other couples, and not once has any bride been disappointed with the result. She will even go to NYC with you to the flower market to help you arrive at the perfect selection. I cannot recommend her more highly.

    I wish we could choose more stars than 5! Karen and her husband Dan, who did our lighting, made our wedding incredibly special. Not only does Karen have a knack for her craft, she is so much fun to work with and put together such uniquely beautiful displays. She and Dan made our wedding what it was; their work really is unmatched. I have said many times that choosing Karen and Dan was one of the best decisions we made during our planning process. Our pictures came out so bright and beautiful given how fresh and eye popping the flowers and lighting were. She was able to work with my ideas and with my budget, and the only downside is that I do not have any events planned that will require her services again in the near future. Would recommend 100%

    Karen did a great job working with us to make the floral arrangements at our wedding exactly what we wanted! She was able to work with our ideas and our budget to create beautiful bouquets and centerpieces! She even met with us at a flower market to help us pick flowers that would work for us! We would highly recommend Karen! Her husband does a great job with lighting too!

    Karen and her team were an absolute dream to work with! Their professionalism and talent far surpass any other florists in the Hamptons. She took all of my ideas and brought them to life, everything was even more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Months later and my guests are still talking about the amazing flowers at our wedding. Highly recommend!!
