    Gertrude & Heathcliff. Check out the eerie face.

    Who knew? I'm staying in ROC for awhile and I've driven past this place several times. (East Avenue is a main thoroughfare if you're not familiar with the the area.) To explain the three stars, I have no real option, bad or good, so three seems safe. First, I had no idea this was a floral shop until I started to read reviews, that seems to be a pretty well kept secret. The display windows scream out that this is a high-end decor supplier and art gallery, catering to interior designers and those of sophisticated taste. (Which pretty much leaves me out.) I went there because I could see furniture in the windows of the second floor. My semi-ambulatory host is looking for some unique furniture, and since this seemed like a unique place (and it is) I went to browse. During Covid19, you must buzz in at the front door and wait for someone to let you in. I was impressed by the selection of, well, stuff. Decorations of all types and this time of the year, there are a lot of Christmas trees, wreaths, and holiday decor. The assortment of offerings is, in a word, eclectic and very interesting. Unfortunately, nothing for my current dwelling but if I were starting from scratch in a new house, I'd be here.

    This place is STUNNING... They have parking on the side of the building.. Yea that's important ! It's beautiful inside.. Yes they have flowers, simply beautiful, candles that smell fabulous and the prices are pretty good and they even have their own candle.. Yes they do. They carry Beekman 1802 as well. They have perfume, jewelry, scarfs and upstairs home decor it's simply a beautiful store. They also have an interior design part of the business I think a few doors down. Now the things here you won't find anyplace else. Yes it's not inexpensive but you get what you pay for.. I will be back to purchase a few things. It's a lovely store to see if anything it gives you ideas for your own place. I've lived here in Rochester since February 2015 and I've wanted this come in.. Glad I did and you should too. Lovely local businesses and the staff is nice. Cheers!

    Flawless Christmas cheer!

    Arena's is far more than a florist. If you've passed this shop multiple times but never entered, I urge you to go. The design team here never ceases to amaze me. Not classic by any means, they combine organic and rustic elements with modern industrial touches to create displays unique to any store in Western NY. They sell upscale flowers (unique arrangements!), a huge selection of succulents, gourmet snacks, candles, home furnishings, cards, furniture...everything to upgrade the aesthetics of your living space. They even sell Jonathan Adler pieces! If you're into retro modern art, you'll love his stuff. The only drawback to Arena's is that they're constantly trying to upsell you. Just about every time I've ordered flowers - or friends have ordered flowers - they'll try to talk you up from your price range. I understand the idea of them wanting to give you the nicest arrangement for the most reasonable price, but sometimes it feels disingenuous. In summary, a stunning and unique floral and home store dedicated to irreverent luxury. Don't miss it!

    This place is beautiful. The displays, the flowers--everything. If you need a gift for someone, you should come here. Just be aware that everything is expensive. This is a high-end store and the prices reflect that. The reason for my 3 stars is the way I was treated when I stopped in. I came just to look, with no intentions of buying anything. One of the employees saw us (my 20 year old brother and I) walk in and asked if we were "just browsing." I said yes and she gave me a strange, unfriendly look and walked away. Something about the way they acted around us--I felt like I was being judged. It reminded me of the times when I was a kid and I came in stores alone and no one took me seriously. I am in my 20's for crying out loud. We were wearing nice clothing and being respectful as we browsed. It's not like we are little kids.. Toward the end of our visit, another employee was more friendly and started making conversation. I appreciated that, but still couldn't get over how judged I felt in that store. That being said, I want to reiterate how beautiful this place is. I just wish I had been treated like an adult.

    We can't thank Charles and his team at Arena's enough for the absolutely amazing work they did for our wedding. They are incredibly professional and talented. They're arrangements are beautiful and unique. Any time we had any questions or last minute requests they were incredibly helpful and accommodating.

    I love this shop.

    I was driven past this jewel box of a spot and wanted to get some flowers but I was not sure. Fast…read moreforward to seeing photos from a friends wedding that happened a few years ago and saw what Brad and his team did and I was floored. It looked like something that came from the pages of Vogue and Town & Country. Basically aspirational flowers, arrangements and bouquets. He's a local and has lived in NYC and London. He worked with the late, great Robert Isobel in NYC and some of his clients were/are Bette Middler and SJP. I'm not even joking Bradley James is the real deal and still his designs grace the pages of different countries Vogue magazines and more. My wedding anniversary was coming up and I wanted something different and show stopping. I've tried a lot of local florists around here and I felt like I was not heard or was disappointed. I went in on a Tuesday and talked with him, showed him some photos of what I was interested in and a budget. Now kids flowers cost money and I would rather give my money to a local spot than some big corporate florist. Just the colors, flowers and size of my arrangement is dumbfounding. The inside of the atelier is a beautiful little jewel box of treasures and flowers. This is a special place and if you know you know. It's like the best little hidden secret of the South Wedge.. and to give you an idea they are pretty much booked up for weddings until 2024 no joke. My arrangements has orchids, roses, and all other kinds of very cool flowers. I am going to have them make me something for my mantle for Christmas and they are a quick 5-7 minute drive from where I live. Brad and his team could not be nicer and Jeff brought out my arrangement to my car and absolute plus. They really love and enjoy what they do. If you want something show stopping come here. Parking is on the street or behind the buildings.

    I do recommend this place - as I have received two arrangements as gifts from a friend. Recently I…read morewas in touch with the owner and he was very kind, and responded quickly and with flexibility. I look forward to utilizing the talents at this place in the future.
