What a cute and unassuming little flower shop located in the Tops plaza…read more From the outside, you'd never expect a world of plants, gifts, flowers and all kinds of cute things. This place is brother and sister owned (soo cool right?) and they've been in business for 40 years. That means they're for SURE doing something right hehe. You can pick up a little thought, a flower, a whole bouquet, something pre arranged, a plant, all the things that scream (silently) that you LOVE and CARE about a special someone. It's such a cute little store and you will for sure find a little thought for anyone on your list. Plus, if you're already grocery shopping or stopped for a bagel or smoothie next door, why not check this place out too?

The incredible team at Ceci was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish! Not only…read morewere their designs astonishingly exquisite and unique (who else would think to pair dazzling deco motifs with moody florals and make this unexpectedly auspicious combo look as if it was always meant to be?), but they also delivered administratively at every turn. Every deadline was hit (critical when you're on the clock to get wedding invitations out!) and edits were turned around quickly and seamlessly. Team Ceci was moreover happily and graciously able to roll with every address change and additional invitation I threw at them (and there were many). I must thank our outstanding account manager, Lindsey, in particular for so swiftly and cheerfully accommodating our every request. The designs Team Ceci turned out for everything from our invitations to our menus, escort cards and more were all just stunning in and of themselves (I'm still drooling!) but also, beautifully and flawlessly coordinated. Not to mention that their calligrapher does some of the absolute best work I've ever seen! I can't recommend this outstanding group enough and look forward to future celebrations so I will have the opportunity to work with them again!

From my acrylic save-the-dates to our more formal wedding invitation and to paraphernalia in-between (cigar liners and matchboxes and cocktail napkins, etc.) CECI New York can do it all! And ON TIME. The team is very responsive, kept to the schedule and made me, as the bride, feel calm every step of the way. I'm still getting comments from guests about how special they felt to receive something so awesome in the mail!

These people ruined my sister's wedding. My sister spent a long time carefully selecting her…read moreflowers. The day of the wedding, however, these people brought completely different flowers than the one my sister had selected. Additionally, the flowers they brought were drab, lifeless, and wilted. Take a look at the attached pictures and judge for yourself. Finally, they failed to set everything up on time despite having advance notice, so we had to delay the entire wedding for around 45 minutes to an hour for them to finish setting up. If you want your wedding ruined, pick these guys. If you want your wedding to go well, pick someone else. Afterward, they were completely unrepentant and unapologetic about it. When my mom left a negative review, they threatened legal action if she didn't take it down. Well, I'm not scared of their threats. If you guys want to sue me, reach out and I'll give you my address so you can effect service of process. I would *love* to litigate the accuracy of this. EDIT: the owner has responded claiming that this review is not true, but the pictures speak for themselves. She is lying. Imagine what else she is lying about. The owner doesn't even know me - we've never interacted and she's never heard my name. Message me if you would like more information. Do yourself a favor - read through her reviews. Many of them are positive, but quite a few are negative - I'm not the only one saying this. Finally, look how often she calls people liars, unstable, immoral, etc. when they complain about her. Ask yourself this: do you want to be the one she's one day calling an unstable, immoral liar on here after she screws up your own wedding? This is how she talks about the people who complain when she drops the ball and ruins a wedding. Maybe one day it'll be how she talks about you. Rachel, if you're reading this: if I'm really slandering you, then sue me. I will give you my address so you can file the lawsuit and serve me with process. But you're not going to do that, because you don't actually want these allegations adjudicated in court, because you know that they're true and you would lose.

Working with her was seamless, especially when we changed our minds on center pieces and color pallets a few months before the wedding. Carla was always calm and capable, there was no ask that was impossible, but she was always was clear and respectful of our budget. Bride and Blossom was hands down the best wedding vendor with whom we worked. We recommend them to anyone who is planning a wedding, loves florals, and wonderful people!!

On an annual trip to NYC, I decided I would visit bookstores and take in all I could. B&B was right…read moreby my hotel, and I was delighted to find a comfortable room full of baseball memorabilia and a great variety. They specialize in 19th and 20th century English and American literature, which means you're going to see a lot of titles you're familiar with. I stopped in late in their day, so I wasn't surprised to be the only one there, but the team gave me space, answered very basic questions I had, and - gasp - LET ME TOUCH THE BOOKS. This is far from a stuffy environment, and when I finally convince my partner that I need that very expensive piece that has F. Scott Fitzgerald's music for Princeton, I know exactly where I'll go.

5 minutes before B&B books was closing, I buzzed the room located on the third floor to see if they…read morewould let me in "just to look." Well, 45 minutes later, I was still oohing and awing at the marvelous selection of first edition books they have to offer. This is the largest selection (aside from corporate-owned Bauman's) of rare books I've seen that include the dust jacket- a collectors actual dream. It's the biggest breath of fresh air to find a rare book store owned by a woman, and to be treated like a human being. I normally get side-eyed from rare bookstore owners and some of the conversations I've had sound like: "May I see the Portrait of a Lady in the case?" "All of these books are at least $100.00 and up." ".....I know." "Do you have any Wilde?" "The book about the woman hiking alone? That's too new to be in our shop, Barnes & Noble would have it." "I'm talking about the 1800s poet." "Oh." I take it personally because while I look like a millennial who doesn't know what she's talking about, I treasure my rare books like they're my children. Sunday stayed AN EXTRA HOUR at her store while I looked and answered all of my questions that I had, never making me feel rushed or unwelcome. After selecting a first edition Fitzgerald, she wrapped it in bubble wrap for my travels back home and gave me an updated book with all of the rare book sellers in the country.
