13th Avenue Florist

My wedding was 11−09−14 and I used 13^th ave florist. They are also my local florist and I must say their flowers are fresh and stay fresh. Never disappointed. I was very happy with my wedding and bridesmaids bouquets. George is great and really easy to work with. I would use him for any future events as well!

What a great flower shop! I went to George for my wedding flowers, he did a fantastic job providing great service and helping make it a great wedding! We really loved the work her did for us, stop in check this place out.

I ordered flowers online for my friend who was post surgery. The flowers arrived the next day on time as promised, shipping was cheap, flowers were pretty and fresh however the flowers were nothing like the picture. It was supposed to be roses and hydrangeas but I got daisys, 2 rose, tulips, carnations and a bunch of other rustic country like flowers in an orange vase, NOT the modern sleek simple bouquet as pictured on the website. I called up the store the next morning and DINO was very apologetic and even had me personally text him the bouquet that was received. Dino offered to redeliver the bouquet the next day and was very professional about it. The colors were not exact to the picture but the flowers and look were very close, which I understand because blooms are very unpredictable. I am very pleased to have found such high quality flowers with high quality customer service. I will definitely reorder from here and recommend to my friend.
P. S. I initially ordered from «www​.fromy​ou​flow​ers​.com» which to my understanding is a third party website for local florists?, don’t waste your time, they never delivered my flowers. Stick to local and personable florists ran by awesome people like Dino.

I order flowers frequently online. On my birthday, I received flowers from 13^th Avenue Florist. They are one of the most gorgeous flowers I have seen, the arrangement is done so beautifully, and smells amazing. The sender mentioned them to be more gorgeous than what was shown online. Will highly recommend them!

I booked 13^th Avenue Florist for my wedding on 11÷6÷15 at The Liberty Warehouse in Brooklyn, NY. When I met George, and explained my vision, he understood exactly what I wanted. He showed me pictures of what I maybe looking for and added onto my vision. George did an AMAZING job! Everything was absolutely perfect and exactly what my husband and I wanted. When I walked into the reception area the day of, I couldn’t believe that my vision had come to life so perfectly. We got so many compliments on the centerpieces. George was always available on the phone when I needed him. He was able to answer all of my questions and take my vision to real life. It was truly 5 Star Customer Service. George has so much love in his work and its a big difference when someone cares about what they are doing. You simply cannot go wrong with George. You will be beyond impressed. He goes above and beyond with his designs and gives you more than you can ask for. I would highly recommend George and his team. You won’t be disappointed!
Thank you again, Lauren & Mike D’Alora

I had my wedding October 17 of this year, George and his wonderful workers definitely outdid themselves. The center pieces, The bouquets, everything was beautiful. My rooms looked magical every centerpiece looked on point, you can see all the hard work that was put into my day. I am so thankful and happy that George was my florist for my special day. They made everything so simple and easy with no headaches.
If you want your wedding to look and feel magical like a princess I would throw out all the other business cards you got and 100% call only 13^th avenue Florist!!! They are the best of the best!!!
Thank you so much George!!!

My fiancé and I came here from NJ to have a consultation with George. We are having our wedding at the Venetian in Garfield, NJ which is a very nice venue. We are having a winter wedding so we wanted to get frosted branches with a few flower assortments added on. We seen something similar on their Instagram page from a recent wedding. Needless to say George got straight to business and wasn’t personable at all. He didn’t congratulate us on our engagement just got straight to it. Their packages are misleading! Bronze, Silver, Gold etc center pieces are different sizes that you don’t realize until you come to the shop. George didn’t care to have our business for some reason because he didn’t take any time to discuss our vision our what we really wanted to gain from this experience. He didn’t tell us about his business or why we should choose them. It was an arrogance that I didn’t like. Anyone who is planning a wedding knows that you want to have someone at your wedding that you feel comfortable with. We’ve already spent 20,000 for our venue alone. My fiancé told him we were looking for the silver package at $ 1,999 we told George we wanted the frosted branches he not only tried to tell us that frosted branches would cost more than a full floral assortment he tried to discourage us from our vision by showing us pictures of pitiful center pieces stating «that’s what you get for $ 2,000.» It made no sense how can fake wooden branches cost more than real flowers? I felt like George was rude. I then asked for him to itemize a sheet with prices for my custom package so I can review and he told my fiancé and I that he didn’t give out any information we discussed outside of a contract I was done. My fiancé and I had to be in the shop no more than 10 minutes. You would think that he would attempt to get our business but he told us to have a good day and let us go. This was by far the worst experience we’ve had with a vendor yet and we’ve been on nearly 10 consultations. Im not sure if the reason why George didn’t really care to gain our business was because my fiancé and I are people of color but honestly he came across like he really didn’t give a shit. I hope they improve how they treat potential customers because word spreads fast and a few bad experiences can damage a business.

I will give them credit, the flowers were beautiful. BUT — I had requested the flowers to be delivered one the 19^th and they were delivered the day before. On the card it clearly states delivery date was the 19^th; both typed and hand written. I had called the delivery guy and he wasn’t very helpful nor understanding of why I was upset. I called the florist and the gentlemen I spoke to wasn’t helpful either blaming the wrong delivery date on 1800flowers. Which was incorrect. He was rude and unprofessional instead of just apologizing for the error and inconvenience. I am very disappointed with the way they handled the matter and will not order from them ever again.

I ordered the premium size gentle thoughts spray. WOW it was so beautiful the family loved it. It was larger than I expected with a wide arrangement of flowers very artistically arranged. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great florist!!!

Such a beautiful shop full of amazing exotic flowers. Placed our first order, a beautiful arrangement of flowers for our boss who is going on maternity leave soon. She absolutely loved them, and everyone was so impressed!
Thank you so much for such a beautiful arrangement and can’t wait to place my next /​future order!
Best wishes,

I have been using 13^th Ave. florist for about five years now. George has always done right by me. The flowers were always beautiful and always lasted a long time. I don’t understand what some of these reviews complaining about his product is about, I also know sometimes his competition tends to write negative reviews to get his ratings down. But I will stick by my review, and say that this has been the best florist i’ve used.

Ok where do I start … it’s been a while since my last review. My experience with 13^th Avenue florist is to say the least the best experience I have ever had with a floral designer. This place is come to my rescue for the past year several times and today I thought good time to give back to such a wonderful and talented florists. So many times people take the time to complain about something or someone very rarely do people take the opportunity to praise the hard work and determination of a company that is brought up with blood sweat and tears of the owners and its employees. I moved to Brooklyn about a year and a half ago and moving to a new neighborhood its hard to find several things a 1. good pizzeria 2. a good Chinese place and 3. when you’re deep hot water with your wife a good florist. 13^th Avenue florist is by far bar none the best experience I have ever had. My sons christening and my first wedding anniversary would not have been a success if it wasn’t for the creativity of 13^th Avenue florist.

Ordered a flower arrangement for wake and they were out of the flowers I ordered so they substituted roses, a more expensive choice, at no extra charge. The flowers were stunning, delivered on time and I was very pleased with their service. Would use them again.

13^th Avenue Florist is by far the BEST florist in New York. From the beautiful flower arrangements they create to the wonderful staff, they always provide a great service. I have been using them since they had there first location on 71^st and 13^th Avenue and now at there new location on 78^th Street and 13^th Avenue. I highly recommend 13^th Avenue Florist!!! George (the owner) treats you like family every time you enter into the florist. Its a great environment over there!!!

I went back to 13^th ave florists for my wedding and George far exceeded my expectations! Stunning centerpieces that everyone complimented me on. My bouquet and the bridesmaid’s bouquets were classy and stunning. I think my favorite part of the creative process was the need for me to NOT be creative and have him know exactly what I wanted and needed based on my theme and what type of feel I was going for. He even decorated the arch for my ceremony with tule and flowers. Could not have asked for a better experience and price.

13^th Ave Florist is Good!
Every year, I receive flowers from a friend who lives outside the City. In addition, having been a performer on B’way and the Met, giving and receiving flowers is a pretty constant thing. It had been hit or miss with florists. Mostly «miss.» I’ve given and received from «high end» and «not high end» florists. I was embarrassed when a friend of mine had his premier at the Met — I used one of the highest rated florists in the City. When I saw what they sent, (basically a tree). Another time, I sent a male colleague roses on his opening night: I asked for salmon colored — he got cotton candy pink! I was pissed.
My point regarding 13^th Ave Florist is: This is the first time I called a florist to tell them how thrilled I was (am) with flowers I received! Even though they were delivered a day late because I was not home… the flowers are fresh and perfect. The arrangement is astonishing. Cream roses (not a baby’s breath to be seen, thank goodness!). Wonderful assortment of fragrant greens. Branches of some flowering plant with abundant teensy weensy deep purple flowerettes. And the most interesting touch… tendrils of mini leafed ivy that drape over the edge of the vase. Honestly, I have never had such a tasteful, lush, well shaped and balanced arrangement ever.
I see this florist has mixed reviews. I hope I continue to be as happy next year and the year after — because we will use them again. I think we found our go-​to florist. (I have to ask them if they deliver to the City…)

I would give it a ZERO rating if I could. We ordered flowers for our grandmothers funeral. The flowers looked LIKE IT WAS ONE WEEK OLD. It was supposed to be a pink mix of flowers for the casket and I guess they didn’t have pink flowers because they SPRAYED PAINTED THEM PINK.
But the worse part is that the flowers looked dead. I wish I can upload pics on this because you can clearly see the brown colors on all the flowers.
DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE!

This has been my florist for a few years now, always made such a nice arrangement for any event. Today I called at 12:30pm and had a wonderful arrangement delivered by 2:00 pm to my Aunts wake. I can not thank them enough for delivering on such short notice, I will always use 13 ave florist. Don.

I use 13^th Avenue for all of my corporate floral needs. They do exceptional work. their funeral pieces, specialty fruit and «goodie» baskets, centerpiece for events and plants/​floral arrangement for our administration staff have always arrived on time and fresh and beautiful. I highly recommend them.

a month later the owner contacts me asking me to call him. he must have seen my posting on here. he decided to call me names and was very unprofessional. i stick to my original review. take your money and business elsewhere people!!!
