We couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience after booking Raven Rose for our wedding…read moreflowers! We originally came across Raven Rose in looking for florists that had worked at our venue and were super impressed with their portfolio of previous work. To our incredible luck, not only was Courtney S. at Raven Rose incredibly familiar with our venue, but her beautiful shop was literally located across the street from the venue, which made it super easy to check in during the various stages of planning. During our consult, Courtney listened carefully to what our vision was, and despite the fact that I hadn't been able to find pictures that perfectly matched our wedding vision/colors, she magically knew exactly what we were looking for, and made amazing suggestions. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of her business really shone during our consult, and she was very kind about gently leading us away from flowers that wouldn't be in season or within our budget, as well as steering us away from trendier arrangements/colors that wouldn't have fit the more timeless look that we were aiming for. After our initial meeting, Courtney quickly pulled together a beautiful proposal (with gorgeous pictures and detailed floral suggestions) that blew us away, and we didn't even consider any other florists for our big day. During the entire process, she was such a personable, kind soul, and very responsive to any questions or concerns (and even gave us some great local recommendations for vendors and things to do for our visiting guests). Additionally, she was incredibly reasonable about working within our price range (and making a few last minute adjustments) and we felt completely confident leaving such a big part of our day in her capable hands. On our wedding day, she exceeded our expectations by hand-delivering the flowers of my dreams - elegant, modern and romantic and in the perfect color palette/aesthetic for an early Spring wedding in an industrial venue. I was absolutely blown away by her stunning work and truly couldn't have imagined a more perfect bouquet to have in hand as I walked down the aisle. Every piece (from simple floral crowns for our young flower girls to the bridesmaid bouquets to the arrangements throughout the reception) was absolutely stunning, and more than one guest said that the flowers were the most beautiful wedding arrangements that they'd ever seen (and I completely agree, even if I'm a wee bit biased). We can't thank Courtney and Raven Rose enough for the magic they worked at our wedding, and highly recommend them if you need a florist in the Hudson Valley (or beyond)! If you aren't in the market for floral arrangements, but find yourself in Beacon, NY, definitely check out their lovely brick and mortar store, which has beautifully curated flowers and gifts, too.

King and curated is an experience like no other. I would even go as far as to say Lauren and Todd have such excellent positive, nurturing energy, that any negativity that dares to intrude this bubble of superior craftsmanship meets infinite good vibes, would probably be tossed out Jeffrey style on fresh prince, like a splinter of negativity that ain't no body got time for. And I stand by that, all day!! I started following this beautiful shop that is definitely more than just that, I wanna say just before the lock downs. They came up on my suggestions on the gram bc let's be real the algorithm reads your mind, and it knows I love one of a kind pieces. After looking at their page I knew I needed to start playing the lotto so I could grow up and be like Mr. T, except all king and curated. (I'm really showing my age here) It started with a gift for a friend that was so perfect it actually hugged her soul. I mean that. So of course I now needed sparkly things for me. I am a fan of Delicate never seen before items so of course I bought quite a few things. I quickly added so much to my jewelry box. But during this time I got to feel like family. And not the omg aunt Em gets the most for the holidays but more like omg I hope aunt Em comes so we can talk shit at the table. Like a statler and waldorf at the table vibe. But in the best way. Every single time I came in, even if I didn't get anything, Lauren and Todd would let me browse or shoot the shit and make me feel happy. Always so nice when I came in. After reaching a personal milestone, I decided to treat myself to a custom. I am a simple woman. I didn't know where to begin, I never created anything like this for myself, but Lauren set up a consultation and made me feel so comfortable. She guided me based on things I liked on the gram and have already purchased and I treated myself to a stunning custom Diamond necklace. It came out perfect! Truly one of a kind. She took her time with me picking out the right stone and I loved the process. She sketched it and was so clear about the entire process. Something I appreciated so much. She sent me lots of 3d pics via email which was so awesome, and honestly never do any justice. It was finished so fast I was so happy. She put in so much work, and attention to detail, really going above and beyond. We did a few more perfect small pieces. How could I not, beautiful work from amazing people who are super thoughtful and thorough, count me in. At this point my boyfriend (now fiancé) knew he had to come here when it was time. My fiancé is a mechanic, a true man's man. Can build me a house and a car, but design a ring. Whoa he needed help. Sure enough Lauren and Todd came to the rescue and designed the most beautiful, and most me, ring, using my mothers diamonds to make it even more special. The ring ended in a hell yeah when the question was popped and I couldn't be happier with it. Everyone gushes when they see it. It's sooooo sparkly!! So if you are looking for a one of a kind experience, someone that will listen to you and check in every single step of the way, then king and curated is the place for you. Be prepared to never want to leave, the warmth and positivity they have sucks you in, in the best way!

Batt's was the first I called (because of their stellar reviews) and thank God I did! They were extremely helpful and got everything taken care of, and made my client (and myself!) a wonderful bouquet. From one member of the crazy business to another, thank you for taking care of us.
