Rebecca Shepherd Floral Design

My wedding day was picture-​perfect thanks to Rebecca and her amazing team. Rebecca is extremely professional: she responds to emails right away (even though she’s always busy at a wedding or event), answers all of my questions honestly, and stayed within the budget I set. I never felt that she was pressuring me to spend more on extravagant flowers. Set-​up on the day of the wedding also went extremely smoothly. Rebecca’s team helped me carry things around (not florals) and were just really friendly, making the entire processes stress-​free. All my guests kept telling us that our flowers were so beautiful. I can’t wait for the next event that I’ll need floral arrangements for because I’ll definitely be calling Rebecca :)

Rebecca is flexible, talented, ridiculously good at what she does, and a pleasure to work with. I used Rebecca for my small wedding of ~100 guests at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden this spring. When my mother and I met with Rebecca, I mentioned some flowers that I like, colors that I do and don’t like and showed her a few photos on pinterest. I LOVED what she delivered even beyond my own high expectations. My table arrangements looked perfect, my bouquet was perfect, everything was lush and beautiful and vibrant and we received tons of compliments from our guests. You will not regret hiring Rebecca for your wedding florals — bottom line is that Rebecca is amazing at what she does, reliable, and extremely easy to work with.

We really lucked out with Rebecca!
We live around the corner from Rebecca’s studio and decided to inquire when we started planning our small wedding. Rebecca was extremely flexible and understanding from the very start and helped us customize a floral package that suited our needs. I was asked to create a Pinterest board with photos of what I envisioned for our wedding, which was both fun and super helpful for communicating back and forth about ideas. Rebecca is passionate about her craft and it shows in her work. I can’t wait to see the photos and share how beautiful they turned out!

Rebecca is absolutely amazing and super talented. From the card table arrangements down to the boutonnieres, it was absolutely gorgeous and smelled amazing! I am beyond pleased with her work! We met with her once a little less than a year from our wedding to give her an idea of what we were looking for and she took it from there. The end result was a MILLION times more beautiful than the original inspo images we pulled. I felt like she is able to get a great sense of what a person is looking for and their style and executes it perfectly. Hands down one of the best investments we made! I highly recommend Rebecca for all floral design needs!

Rebecca was by far my favorite vendor and someone I would work with a million times over. She is extremely professional, but also very intuitive and «got me» and my mother from the moment we met. She worked with us throughout the entire process to ensure the wedding looked just as we wanted and did not stop until it did. I knew that with my mother’s vision and Rebecca’s passion and commitment to delivering I would have the wedding of my dreams, and I did. She rocked it. Our guests still talk about the «wow factor» and how impressive the venue, my bouquet and the ceremony space looked weeks later.
I never once doubted that the flowers would be the highlight of the event because I could tell from day 1 how committed Rebecca is and how much she loves what she does. She is very creative and very resourceful and is with you every step of the way. Even though we changed things around and added last minute details and requests, Rebecca was never annoyed by our on-​going visits, calls and emails. On the contrary, she consistently reminded us that she wanted to «get it right» and make sure we were happy with the outcome, and we were.
She is the essence of cool, calm and collected both personally and professionally, which comes in handy during the process. Every bride knows it is all about the flowers, and Rebecca knows it too.

Rebecca Shepherd is as good as it gets. She is a wonderful person to work with, listens to what you desire, plays close attention to detail, and she has a very special talent in floral and design. She is truly one of a kind. There are many florists out there to choose from, but if you want someone with the above qualities, pick Rebecca. She has a new eye that is clean, fresh, and beautiful when it comes to flowers. I would recommend using Rebecca for a wedding or any special event. She just designed my wedding a few weeks ago and it turned out to be more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Thank you to Rebecca and her team for making my wedding dream come true!

I worked with Rebecca for my wedding this past May at Liberty Warehouse in Brooklyn. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and created the most breathtaking environment through her floral arrangements!
I had a general idea of the look and feel I wanted to convey, and Rebecca took the time and energy to help me really hone in on exactly what I wanted. She then beautifully brought it to life. I enjoyed every meeting with her in her Brooklyn studio. She was always brainstorming on my behalf, and providing me with multiple options to make everything as beautiful as possible.
I received tons of compliments on our floral arrangements. Rebecca went above and beyond, and even added in some little extras to ensure everything was perfect on the day of the wedding. Like many of the other reviewers, I cannot say enough about how wonderful Rebecca and her team are — they will most definitely make your event a memorable (and beautiful!) one!

Rebecca is beyond talented and words can’t express how lucky I am to have worked with her for my October 2014 wedding in NYC!!! Her work is truly an art and has a unique, whimsical and memorable style. From our initial consultation, I knew she would execute our florals and décor to perfection, and that is EXACTLY what she did (and more!!!)
She has an adorable shop in Brooklyn where we met for both consultation and table mock ups prior to the wedding. Here she showcases her stunning work as well as houses vessels, vases, candles etc to incorporate in your décor. As a bride, visiting her shop was one of the most memorable, hands on planning experiences.
Day of, everything from the bouquets, tablescapes, church décor, boutonnieres were absolutely stunning!!! The amount of compliments I received (and STILL receive) are a true testament to how fabulous her work is. She transformed our modern reception room into a warm, romantic and inviting space with soft, beautiful arrangements, unique vessels and incredible design. The décor truly set the mood for our wedding and we could not have been happier with her execution. I can’t say enough about Rebecca as she is a true professional and such a pleasure to work with!!! Worth every penny and more!!!

Working with Rebecca for our wedding was one of the highlights in an otherwise stressful planning process. We first met at her elaborate studio where she showed us just some of her many floral and table décor options. There were so many things of our taste it was impossible to choose and we ended up having to visit a couple of times. Despite our being indecisive Rebecca could not have been more accommodating and helpful. She never seemed to be bothered by the few too many emails we sent :) She is so creative and relaxed but understands a whole spectrum of design and different tastes. On our actual wedding day we couldn’t believe what a beautiful job she did. Her team was outstanding and professional. If we could go back in time, we wouldn’t change a thing. Highly recommend her for any occasion but particularly weddings! Thanks Rebecca!

I simply cannot recommend Rebecca enough. When I came to her to do my wedding flowers with only a vague understanding of what I wanted (blush color palette, garden-​like, a bit wild), she was able to interpret (a thousand times better than I could) what I actually wanted, and ended up giving me so much more. It was her suggestion to add a small pop of burgundy to the color palette, which made our arrangements stand out in such a gorgeous way. Our bouquets and small corsages were simply perfect — everyone was so impressed with them and I received compliments the entire night. I found out only later that because our tent was so hot during the set up of our wedding that Rebecca spent hours spritzing the arrangements to make sure they stayed fresh for the evening. If one flower wilted during the course of our 85 degree night, I don’t think anyone noticed, but it’s this level of care that she puts into her work that I think really sets her apart from other florists. If you can book her, do it, because booking her was one of my best decisions for my wedding.

When my husband and I initially started thinking about flowers, we had only a vague idea of what we wanted for our wedding. We knew we wanted different; we knew we wanted kind of fallish but not over-​the-​top; we knew how much we wanted to spend; and we knew, above all else, that we wanted a floral designer who was reliable. After meeting with a few florists, the choice was obvious– Rebecca, absolutely.
Through loads of emails back and forth, Rebecca helped me to hone in on a «look.» Over the course of my engagement, we emailed many times. Rebecca was always friendly, helpful, and flexible when it came to adding or deleting things from our initial agreement. Then, a few weeks before the big day, we met up again and selected beautiful and unique props for our centerpieces (books, oil lamps, votives, etc), and we were set! I was totally excited. I knew we were going to have the most gorgeous wedding!
A thing I learned about wedding planning is that you can envision and envision, but you never really know what your wedding will look like until you actually see it in person.
When Rebecca arrived that morning with my bouquets and décor I realized that she understood my vision better than I understood it myself. I have never had a person know what I wanted more than I knew! Every single thing that she came with was outstanding, BY FAR exceeding my expectations (which were high!). I was completely blown away. Rebecca delivered more than she promised, throwing a few extra flowers in places I didn’t even expect to see them (a few around our card box, for example)! They totally tied our whole aesthetic together. It was just beautiful.
I do not have enough good words to say about Rebecca Shepherd and everyone she works with. If you are looking for a floral designer in Brooklyn, you will not be disappointed. Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Where do I begin? Two weeks after our wedding, my flowers still bring tears to my eyes at how perfect they were when I look at the pictures. Everything from our ceremony space to the memory table to the reception tables to the bouquets and boutonnieres will be my most favorite part of our whole day. What Rebecca described as «Frenchy Rock n’ Roll» got us and our style down to a «T.» With our love of all things French and vintage with that rock n’ roll edge, Rebecca created a wonderland of visual florals that only leaves me saying, I felt like the luckiest girl ever to walk into that room and see the transformation Rebecca had created. I am a bride who will always remember the way the flowers looked and smelled, the detail and care that went into every opened petal, every burning oil lamp, every baby breath, every crystal draped from our wish tree, every flickering teal taper candle and every strategically placed vintage book on those tables. Rebecca is beyond a talented florist. She «sees» and «reads» people to create things that they haven’t even thought of in their wildest dreams. I feel so fortunate to have worked with her and every meeting and conversation from the jump was a pleasure and joy. I cannot rave about her enough, as a vendor and as a person. She is professional, organized and detail oriented all while maintaining the warmth and familiarity of an old friend. Do yourself a favor and hire this floral master for your event. She will create memories for you through her work that are unparalleled and leave you breathless from beginning to end. Let her transport you into a magical world you could only dream of!

We were lucky to find Rebecca Shepherd and her beautiful flower arrangements for our wedding this past June. Her creations were sophisticated and distinct, with uniquely interesting combinations of colors and flowers. Rebecca understood exactly what we were looking for, from the bouquet and table arrangements to the huppah, and assembled a complete package that was related, coherent and on budget. Professional and prepared, Rebecca ensured that we had enough boutonnieres to outlast four active nephews. By working so seamlessly with our other vendors and the venue, Rebecca and her staff allowed us to thoroughly enjoy planning and celebrating our wedding without any drama or distractions. Thank you Rebecca, your work was outstanding!

I wish I could leave 10 stars (not just 5) for Rebecca. She was absolutely the highlight of my wedding — honestly I think her flowers looked better than I did! Rebecca outdid even our highest expectations. She is very sincerely a floral genius — she has a magical sense for texture and color that literally makes you want to gush. I was especially blown away by how Rebecca used her intuition to deal with two tricky situations:
1) I had no idea how to describe what I wanted. I don’t think I really knew what I wanted, but I pointed to flowers that I liked and to ones that I didn’t, and somehow Rebecca just got it. She compiled an extremely helpful online photo album, and we commented back and forth to get the colors, types of flowers, and composition just right.
2) My mom and I couldn’t quite agree on the colors. Mom insisted on purple and orange together, and I was worried it would clash. Rebecca listened carefully to what each of us was looking for, and both my mom and I were blown away with the final result. She perfectly nailed it – we had rich, lush oranges and purples that created a warm vibe, and it definitely did not clash. In fact, I was completely obsessed with my bouquet… it was so ME, even though Rebecca had only met me once or twice before! All of the flowers were so rich with both bold colors and soft yet crisp textures. 3 months later, I am still jealous of whoever got to take it home.
The floral displays, the corsages, the girls’ bouquets, the men’s flowers — it was all just exquisite. So beautifully done. Lovely little details like ribbon around the bouquets, held by pins; the tulip leaves hiding the «mechanics» of the gorgeous square-​vased table decorations; she even made a gorgeous «tree» décor made from whimsical branches and orchids, which she attached individually by hand. Rebecca is honestly a flower genius, and her flowers were the most important part of the whole celebration. I could just gush forever.

Rebecca does amazing things with textures. I absolutely love her range in style. She’s great at interpreting vague ideas and turning them into beautiful realities.
She did a stunning job with the flowers at our recent wedding. The bouquets were stunning, and our altar piece was original and fit the space so well.
Rebecca is great on email and very organized; we traded lots of ideas over Google Docs and Picasa. She has helpful ideas on how to lower the cost of the flowers, too.

Rebecca did an amazing job as our florist for our wedding. Overall she was extremely affordable, flexible, imaginative, and she created table arrangements that people loved. Rebecca made a beautiful chuppah that she provided at an amazing price. She actually said that she quoted a price that ended up being below the total cost of the chuppah, but that she would stick to the price she had quoted initially. I thought this action was extremely nice and professional of her.
We planned our New York City wedding while we were both living in San Diego California, so email and internet communication were key to our planning efforts. Rebecca made a Google Web Album so that she and I could easily share photos of ideas for colors, flowers and table arrangements. She also was extremely responsive via email and phone throughout our whole mutli-​month planning process.
The end result was beautiful flower arrangements for myself, the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and the reception. She also provided wonderful antique books for our reception tables which, and an assortment of interesting vases for many of the arrangements. We could not have been more pleased with our choice of florist.

I wish I could give Rebecca 6 out of 5 stars — she is AMAZING. She understood exactly the look we wanted, and she completely nailed it 100%, even better than I imagined it. She was incredibly responsive, always getting back to me in the same day, sometimes within a few minutes. She showed us tons of photos of what she was planning and talked us through everything. And on the day of the wedding she was there even before I was! She spent hours setting up and making everything look perfect, and it absolutely was.
Everyone raved about the flowers! She did my bouquet, floral headbands for my bridesmaids, corsages for the moms and grandmas, two huge branchy displays for the ceremony site, flowers for the bar, and this INCREDIBLY AMAZING giant arrangement for the urn at the front of the venue. It was mind-​blowing. And it was really affordable for everything; she doesn’t inflate her prices crazily like big cookie-​cutter florists.
I cannot recommend Rebecca highly enough. I saw photos of other weddings she’s done and she would work just as well with a romantic bride, or a simple-​sweet bride. I felt like she got my vision completely and tailored everything exactly to my tastes. Plus she’s a sweetheart, so lovely to work with. :)

I can’t rave enough about Rebecca. We used her for our wedding last month and are still talking about what an amazing job she did. First of all, she’s fantastic to work with. She’s super sweet, talented and creative. I was clueless about what I wanted and she was able to creative perfect arrangements based on personal style and our colors.
Regarding costs, she is very affordable. We didn’t have a large floral budget so I thought we would end up with just a couple arrangements and a little bouquet. But Rebecca was able to create so much more than I ever thought possible, all while staying in budget!
On the day of our wedding she truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend her. You can see her passion in everything she creates.

Two words: The BEST!
My wife has been a huge fan of Rebecca’s jewelry for years now. Right around the time we were planning our wedding we learned that she had started doing floral design, so we immediately got in touch with her. During our consultation she actually listened to what we wanted and helped us stay in our budget. In the end we could not have been happier with our flowers (and the jewelry she made for our mothers). Rebecca always kept us in the loop, was on time and just all around a pleasure to deal with. Like I said before… the best!

Stunning flower choices, completely unique and fitting for our engagement party! Rebecca not only creates a real vision, she shares it with you during her process and communicates beautifully and frequently to ensure you’re completely happy.
Our engagement party was a surprise and her staff had all the arrangements setup perfectly in advance. It really made the moment special. Highly recommend :) — Kelly & Kirsten
