Xylem and Phloem, LLC

we used jenah for my daughter’s wedding in october. the entrance and ceremony arrangements were drop-​dead gorgeous! the girl’s bouquets were elegant and thoughtfully composed. even the boutonnieres had an interesting look. the combinations of floral and greenery throughout were just so interesting! i’m not usually impressed by wedding flowers, so her work really stood out. very thorough preparation, flawless execution, reasonably priced.

Jenah was incredible. We adored working with her the whole entire time. We were blown away the day of our wedding and could not believe all the flowers we got for what we paid. She was so generous and so kind. The flowers were the absolute highlight our wedding day. We rented terrariums and succulants and the gave her a lot of control over flowers. We highly recommend her.

We used Jenah for our March 2012 wedding and loved her. From the initial meeting, where she sat me down and walked me through the flowers that would be available during the early spring, to the moment she handed me my bouquet (which I was — and still am — obsessed with), we knew we were in the right hands.
The flowers and especially the chuppah, were absolutely perfect, and she really helped transform the space.
It also definitely helped having someone who was very familiar with our space — the Metropolitan Building — since she knew the ins and outs and the owner.
I would highly recommend using Xylem and Phloem for your next event!

We hired Jenah from Xylem and Phloem for our Fall 2011 wedding (so this review is overdue!). We waited until the last minute to hire a florist since we couldn’t seem to find the right person. From the moment we met Jenah, we knew she would be the right fit for our event. She is very professional and very passionate about her work, and she had a calming presence, which is a great quality when dealing with stressed out brides! On our first meeting, she spent several uninterrupted hours listening to us describe our vision for the day and telling us her ideas on how she could bring that vision to life, going so far as to visiting the venue with us and showing us what she could do.
She emailed us a detailed proposal immediately after our meeting and we really appreciated how quickly she worked on it. And, after reviewing it, we were amazed at just how much she «got it.» She completely understood our personalities and what we were envisioning. She also realizes the importance of budgeting for a wedding and we did not feel pressure from her to spend more than we wanted. She assured us that she would stay within our budget, but still create a beautiful ambiance and she did just that.
On the day of the wedding, we were absolutely blown away with how beautiful everything looked. There was not one detail overlooked and everything exceeded our expectations. My favorite aspect of the room was the escort table. I had bought some cheap, clear plastic containers to put escort cards in (the containers were ugly, but they were the only ones I could find to fit the cards) and Jenah promised me that she would do something great with them, maybe cover them in moss. After Jenah waved her magic wand over this table, it ended up looking like something out of an enchanted forest. And my bouquet… it was stunning. As I don’t know much about flowers, I gave Jenah free reign over my bouquet. I’m not sure how she did it, but she truly captured my personality in my bouquet, if that’s even possible.
Jenah made our day so special and beautiful. She is just a pleasure to work with and has amazing style and vision. I would recommend her highly to anyone!

I can’t recommend Jenah Barry of Xylem & Phloem highly enough. From initial contact through the wedding day, she was the perfect vendor. Flowers are clearly the love of her life. She asked all kinds of questions to make sure that the arrangements she created for us matched every element in our wedding, from Mother of the Bride and Groom’s dresses to our chuppah cloth to the venue itself. I asked for flowers in jewel tones of blues, purples, and fuchsias, and she gave me these colors in forms I couldn’t even have imagined. As the wedding date got closer, she informed me of the types of flowers that were looking wonderful, and added peonies (a flower that we hadn’t discussed, but that I love) to my bouquet. She took inspiration from the butterflies on our chuppah cloth and added flowers and butterflies to the chuppah decoration. She created all kinds of arrangements that were so exquisite, I was speechless. She also helped so much during our last meeting at our venue to calm our nerves and make us feel like we were in good hands. And we made several changes during the last week that she was completely responsive and flexible about (even reworking the contract a little to provide for extra decoration on the chuppah). I had no doubt that she would create a wonderland of stunning flowers, and she exceeded even my highest expectations. I could go on and on about this wonderful vendor, but, basically, if you’re looking for a florist, your search is over.
