Flowers By Bernard

Irving is wonderful to work with. He has done flowers for my engagement party, wedding, and daughters christening. They always do a great job. He works within your price range too. If you need a beautiful centerpiece I would definitely use them

I was surprised to find something like this — and it’s right by my house)) very friendly and accommodating, got a nice little compliment for someone very special to my heart. Simple and sophisticated, was exactly what I needed on such a beautiful spring day today)) thank u)) add some smiles to ur bucket) thumbs up!))

My flowers were in bad shape when delivered due to the cold, but they did right by me when brought to their attention.

Irving and the staff are such a pleasure to work with. I have been using his services now for over a year and he nails it every time when I explain my vision and what I want.
He did a beautiful job for my 30^th birthday party at Casa Belvedere. He is fair in his pricing and just a pleasure to deal with. He just made a beautiful
Wreath for my front door for Christmas.
The quality and value of his work is excellent. Definitely recommend his services.

We can’t begin to thank you enough for the unbelievable work you and your team did in designing and constructing the fabulous flowers you did for our wedding. From her bouquet which was stunning, to your choice of calla lilies for the guys (fantastic), the amazing displays for the church (more on that below), and I don’t even have words to describe what you did in the ballroom besides spectacular, it was all amazing. I need to personally thank you for throwing together a wrist bouquet for my mother at the very last minute. I should have given you more notice on that but you pulled through for us, thank you. The priest at the church even stopped his procession in Sunday morning during mass to thank us, and by way of us you, for the beautiful flowers. He actually took Saturday’s wedding flowers down to put ours back up for Sunday mass because they were so amazing. And the ballroom, just speechless. What you guys were able to construct, and that truly is the right word, construct, was truly a work of art. You are a man of extreme talent and we can’t thank you enough for all your time and effort to make our special day that much better.

We worked with the Flowers by Bernard Amboy Rd. location for our wedding. We worked with Irving mostly, but every staff member we encountered was beyond helpful and pleasant. We met with Irving a few times to discuss our ideas and he made our vision come to life. The compliments we received were endless. Personally I was so happy with everything they really couldn’t have done a more fantastic job. The flowers were so fresh, beautiful and fragrant that I made sure to take them home and display them as well. I will definitely be back again for all of my events. And as far as the people writing they are over priced, that wasn’t the case for me.

Amazing design and knowledgable staff I could not be more pleased with my experience there.

Definitely pricey and not worth it. My husband order flowers for me for our anniversary. The arrangement was nice, but looked like something you would send to a business associate or your mother. He did not specify what flowers to use, because he doesn’t have a clue, so they had free reign. I got hydrangeas and gerbera daisies. Disappointing. They should have done better.

Ordered from a photo they had on their site. They sent something completely different. When I called to complain, Irving said I gave you something better than you ordered. Well not in my opinion, after all what could be better than what I want?! On top of everything called me irrational … Never again…

I’d give zero stars if I could. Tried charging me $ 101 for a dozen roses on valentine’s day when there was a sign for $ 85 for the dozen. After bringing the sign in his own store to his attention I got the roses for the $ 85. After 4 phone calls on valentine’s day and a bunch of BS that they were already on the truck and on their way I received the roses at 8:30 pm valentine’s night. Better late then never I guess. I will never use them again. Word of advice, call either Eltingville florist. I’d call 1800 flowers before Bernard for that matter.

I always heard great things so I decided to try them for my engagement dinner party. I’ve personally seen their work before and always liked their stuff. However, with my own experience I wasn’t so pleased. My fiancé & I went in to pick out the centerpieces. It was a simple order, needed only 4. I already knew what I wanted but just out of curiosity I asked to see pictures maybe of work they’ve done. There was nothing for them to show me. She showed me their website, but it was nothing of previous work. It was flowers that can be ordered online. So I decided just to stick with what I originally had in mind which was sunflowers. All sunflowers! Not so hard. I added in those green mesh hanging looking flowers (sorry I have no clue about flower names) just for an added effect. She suggested white peonies (I think that’s the name) just as a filler in the background. At first I said no (hence the statement ALL sunflowers) but because it was assured to me they’d only be in the background and under all the sunflowers (so I thought it would be) I said ok with the impression it would still be all sunflowers. The day of I had them delivered to the restaurant and that night I went I was so mad, it was a mixture of sunflowers and peonies NOT sunflowers with peonies under as a filler. Don’t get me wrong they looked nice and I received compliments but it just wasn’t what I ordered. Worst of all I brought them home after the party, full of water so there was no room for failure, they were dead the NEXT day. All the peonies were brownish that night and sunflowers were wilting just the day after, and completely dead the day after that. Sad I couldn’t enjoy them for a little longer. So I just feel the quality wasn’t so great of these flowers. 100% will NOT be using them for the wedding or anything else. (See picture posted. Doesn’t look like all sunflowers to me!)

Very Disappointed. Walked in for a bouquet of flowers to take to a friend. Arrangement was nice, but the center lily was old. I commented on the appearance of the flower and how it had brown edges and slit marks. I was told it was the pollen. Only because I said I didn’t like it, the lady sniped it and brought me a fresh stem with 2 closed lilies on it. A week later, I went in to pick up a prom corsage with rhinestone sprays & bracelet, I ordered a month before. One of the rhinestones was missing and no sprays. I asked them to replace the bracelet and they told me they had no more. No more rhinestone sprays either. They offered a replacement of a pearl bracelet which I had to take, but now the corsage did not match the dress. Oh and guess what, they had no pearl sprays either! What florist has no supplies during the height of prom season??? I used to praise this florist, but unfortunately I feel it has gone down the tubes. When I went to another florist for a second corsage I needed, I told them what happened and they were shocked. They asked if he refunded any part of my order, which he did not. Not only did Bernard not apologize, but he didn’t even offer me any type of credit. I felt so uncomfortable through this ordeal. The woman who made the corsage gave me an attitude when she was the one who messed up. Whatever happened to customer satisfaction and being apologetic? I will never use them again. It’s a shame for them because next year my daughter turns 16 and I would have used them for her party.

Ruined Mother’s Day! The delivery driver delivered flowers to my 60yr old mother and said «I hope you have a F’d up Mothers Day» while doing so. His reason: No one was home to receive the flowers and he made several attempts so he was frustrated. This is completely unacceptable. When I contacted this company, to speak with someone in charge, they hung up on me, refused to give me the name of the delivery driver, and refused to resolve the matter amicably. Im totally disgusted. Calling Better Business Bureau. These people shouldn’t be in BUSINESS!

Extremely overpriced. I went here when I was searching for a wedding florist. The presentation was all fancy smancy, the florist was nice, but for the flowers we wanted, we were getting ripped off by this place for the price they wanted to charge. We went to another florist and paid $ 1500 less for the exact same thing. Also, when I looked over the price quote, there were all sorts of extra fees thrown in for sutff that we never even asked for.
