Ariston Florist

Roses are incredibly important to my husband and I. Rose tea is my favorite type of tea, roses are my favorite scent, and we got engaged in spectacular rose garden in Portland (the city of roses).
Thomas at Ariston Florist understood our love for roses and brought our rose themed elegant wedding to life with his floral design. We had various types of roses and garden roses throughout the wedding ceremony and reception, accented with beautiful bunches of lily of the valley, peonies, and hydrangeas. My husband’s spray rose and lily of the valley boutonnière was lovely and so were all of the beautiful reception arrangements. I was absolutely in love with my bouquet. It was literally my dream bouquet with cascading garden roses, lily of the valley, and orchids, it was perfect.
Thomas was incredibly easy to work with and listened carefully to what we had in mind. Plus, the flowers are really fresh and last a while. Whether you are going for simple and rustic or lavish and traditional, Ariston is the place to go for flowers for a Manhattan wedding.

Have Ariston do your wedding flowers. They were simply amazing. Thank you, Ariston! We loved everything. We worked with Theodore, but have no doubt every member of their staff is kind and accommodating. They carried out my wife’s vision perfectly, without ever trying to upsell her. There were certain flowers she wanted that were nearly out of season, and they still made it happen. Thank you, thank you!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ariston for the past 5 years. They have helped me make the Benefit I organize every year memorable, always hitting the mood I am hoping to create spot on! There is always a rush for the flowers at the end of the night.
First and really importantly, their flowers are fresh and gorgeous (hugest peonies I have ever seen) — no wilting. Their aesthetic is superb. And the service — fabulous. Also no b.s. filler of baby’s breath and greens — the arrangements they delivered are every inch flower! Last year we must have gone through 10 different types of ribbon until I found the one I wanted to have on our arrangements –so they get big points for being patient as well.
In NYC I sometimes feel like vendors try to make you feel «cheap» if you don’t go all out. Not at Ariston. They ask what is your budget and stay within it, never playing that «well if you want it to be really nice your could…» They make it «really nice» no matter what your budget is! There is no pretension either — they remind me of the «old fashioned» florists in that way but with a modern feel (nothing FTD about this place).
I have to put in a warm word for Tom. What a great job he does meeting this client’s expectations. He is accessible and returns calls promptly. He runs a tight ship as they say and is good for his word.
In short I have not a bad thing I can think of – so I highly recommend Ariston to anyone. Go for it!

Theodore made our wedding so beautiful. He went above and beyond all expectations. The room was stunning and everything we wanted it to be and more. The ambiance he created was amazing and absolute perfection. He was a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a florist for your wedding who has an incredible vision and is easy going and never pushes his thoughts over yours, I HIGHLY recommend working with Theodore. You won’t be disappointed.

Thomas was so caring and professional for my wedding. We were married last evening at the Manhattan Penthouse and Thomas and Ariston Florist did an impeccable and beautiful job. This is an amazing florist. I would definitely recommend this florist.

Ariston Flowers went above and beyond to achieve perfection at my wedding in November at the Essex House in November. My husband and I worked with Theodore. He was so professional and always got back to us promptly and was great about scheduling meetings and working with us even when we made changes to our original plans. On the day of my wedding, I was blown away with how beautiful the high centerpieces were in the ballroom. In addition, my bouquet and our chuppah were gorgeous. I was so thrilled with how everything turned out and I could not have been happier about our experience with Theodore and Ariston Flowers. I would recommend them 1000%. Thank you to Theodore and Ariston Flowers for helping to create my fairytale wedding.

I have used Ariston 3 times via their website. Each time I have ordered a specific bouquet and come to find out that they delivered something completely different. I understand that some flowers need to be substituted, but when I order an all white arrangement, I don’t expect a bunch of purple flowers. I also feel that they sometimes substitute for cheaper flowers and I don’t get my monies worth. The flowers they deliver are just ok. I will be using a different florist going forward.

Amazing! Creative work and vision! They take flowers to a whole new level. Very skillfully and masterfully presented. Every order has been a success. Sometimes I’ll pass by their window display to «stop and smell the roses» so to speak and admire their new creations. One of a kind place! Recommend all the way

From the moment I started working with John at Ariston Florist for my wedding I was completely satisfied! I knew the flowers for my wedding and the centerpieces were going to be fantastic and then on the wedding day, I was blown away!!!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
They were out of this world and I received a million compliments.
The company was wonderful to work with and I recommend them highly.

I came to Ariston Florist about 6 weeks before my wedding day. I needed centerpieces. I went in with a specific idea and budget in mind. I met with one of the owners and we sat down and talked about different ideas. We came to an agreement and it was under budget! Pretty reasonable as well. The shop is also gorgeous! The centerpieces were exactly how they were described, got to the venue on time and there were no issues. Very easy to work with! Only thing was the delivery guy called me instead of the venue on the day of the wedding and I had no clue what to say to him, but my coordinators handled that lol. Thank you again Ariston!

When Unilocal works, it really is awesome. This is how I found the treasure that is Ariston Florist. I called and spoke to a very friendly, professional gentleman who arranged and delivered — within hours, mind you — a bouquet that my sister swooned over! Sweet victory for me!
It took me all of five minutes and I’m still getting reaping the rewards two weeks later. What else could you ask for? Highly recommended.

They made a beautiful purple arragnment several years ago for my Mom’s mothers day dinner. It was amazing.

This was another find thanks to the ol’ Unilocal app. On the way to a birthday party, I needed flowers and this came up as the closest location to where I was. I walked in and knew it was going to be a good visit. The store is gorgeous, with nice floral and plant arrangements everywhere inside greeting you.
As soon as I walked in, one of the gents who work there greeted me and asked what I was looking for. He was very gracious about showing me how different flowers would look put together and made some suggestions that made my original idea for a bouquet MUCH better. This is why I’m not a florist. He was super friendly and even threw in one extra stalk of a plant (some type of bean) to help make the bouquet look better for free.
If you want friendly service with guys who have a good eye for putting a beautiful arrangement together, you don’t have to go much further tan Ariston!

Warning: once you become a customer, this business will send you promotional emails even when you ask them to stop. Over the past year I have emailed them more than five times at florist[at]
requesting removal from their email marketing list; each request is promptly ignored. It’s annoying.
Ariston produces lovely flower arrangements and bouquets, but they have certainly lost me as a customer because they repeatedly ignore my attempts to unsubscribe from their tacky promo emails.

Perfection in bouquets and service…
After brunch on one of the first spring-​type weather days I walked by the window of this florist and was drawn to go in and look at the floral bouquets. Amazing bouquets! My iPhone was ready for photos ;)
Flowers that brides would want and girls would love receiving.
As I was looking around the gentleman that worked there asked if I needed help. I complimented on his flowers and I asked for a card. He sweetly have me a pink rose and said please come back.
As I carried this rose around the whole day I had about a dozen people compliment me on this one flower. If one flower can get the compliments of the quality this place has… just stop by and see for yourself.
Thank you for a kind gesture and I will be a loyal customer.

These guys are down to earth, loyal and EXPERTS in what they do! They will make your wildest dreams come true, it’s everything I wanted and more. Thank you!

This floral shop NEVER disappoints. The flowers and arrangements are magnificent, fresh, and delivered when promised. Lisa even remembered who I was… love this shop! You can’t beat their personal touch.
I call from Las Vegas for delivery in New York with confidence.

This place is great — we had such amazing flowers for our wedding! Tom was wonderful to work with. He listened to what we liked/​wanted and our budget and worked wonders.
Tom was very accommodating, even when last minute we had one less table. I was in a panic and he was fast to respond and calmly resolved the issue, which is exactly what I needed.
From our bouquets and corsages for the moms to the candles for the fireplace mantle to the centerpieces everything was fresh and stunning. Many of our guests made comments on our flower arrangements, and people were so thrilled to take them home. I highly recommend Ariston flowers for your special event.

Absolutely incredible.
I worked with John to plan the arrangements for my June 2013 wedding. John was super friendly and down to earth, unlike some other florists I met with. He listened to everything I said, made polite suggestions, and never pressured me about pricing.
When the arrangements were delivered on the morning of my wedding I was speechless. The bouquets and centerpieces exceeded all expectations. We are talking flowers so lush that my arm hurt from carrying my cascading arrangement around all day.
Don’t look any further … choose them for your wedding. You will not be disappointed.

For my wedding in Cental Park, I ordered the following:
Bride bouquet with dahlias and peonies — $ 150
Mother’s corsages with white orchids — $ 25
Boutonnières (ranunculus) — $ 10 (discounted from $ 15)
Well, it turns out that my bouquet did not have any peonies. WTF. It looked like smashed dahlias. I was not happy with my bouquet, but the corsages and boutonnieres for the others came out beautifully. Give and take.
If you plan to get your wedding flowers, I would suggest Élan Flowers instead.
