Her attention to detail is unmatched, but what truly sets her apart is the personal care and understanding she pours into every arrangement. she created an experience not just decor. First class talent. First class professional. Even more first-class human. read more

I first worked with Alex several years ago on flowers for a birthday party I threw for my sister at a French restaurant in LES, and she did a beautiful job. I reached out to her again this year, when I was planning a memorial celebration event for my dad that my family hosted at a venue in Battery Park. We couldn't have been happier with the stunning arrangements Alex and her team put together. They were exactly what we were hoping for, and complemented the inspiration we sent her for the event perfectly (the event invitation, table decor, etc.). All of the table arrangements were taken home by guests at the end of the event. Thank you again, Alex! I will surely reach out to Petals & Roots again the next time I am planning a special event in NYC. read more

Have been using this florist for almost 2 years now. The bouquet they gave my husband today for $80 just made me sad. We have been so happy with them in the past but today- my bday was not happy. Almost all the flowers are ready to die. Shame on the person that put this arrangement together and ripped my husband off. read more

Came for one of their event nights. They definitely get a lot of people to show up plus they have the space to do so. Definitely a clean environment with lots of arrangements to choose from. I haven't been back to really shop and look more during other seasons besides the winter. Will need to come back during spring and summer to see their other arrangements. read more

We have not had our wedding celebration yet but felt compelled to share our experience thus far especially for the outstanding service and professionalism from Alex and the Petals & Roots team during the COVID-19 pandemic. A little about us (feel free to skip to the next paragraph): My boyfriend then and fiancé now has a bi-annual order with Petals & Roots of their NYTimes Rose Bouquet for my birthday and our anniversary. Every year, Alex and her team goes above and beyond and every year I fall more in love with him than ever. So when he got on one knee, without any doubt or hesitation, we declared Petals and Roots as our florist for our wedding. Fast forward to today, 6 weeks out from our wedding, NYC suffers at the hand of the coronavirus. Within 48 hours, the wedding we spent the last year planning has been snatched from us and out of sight. As a vendor in the wedding industry, I pride myself on providing my clients with the love and care I'd want as a bride and Petals & Roots have not fallen short of my tall order. It's not everyday we experience a pandemic and navigating through this crisis is unprecedented. Due to NYC regulations, we had to postpone our wedding because our banquet hall was shut down indefinitely. We support this decision by the government 100%. Needless to say, my fiancé and I are left with a devastating hand. We immediately reached out to Alex and she was happy to apply our deposit towards our new wedding date. Her unwavering support and kind words gave us a glimmer of hope. Her spirit, amongst my other incredible vendors, got me through a downward spiral. As a community, we are built for challenging obstacles and may we lean into the good that remains. This is what customer service is all about! We're more excited than ever and feel a strong bond and trust with each and every vendor that has been so supportive and accommodating through this ride. read more

We are honestly speechless with how perfect of a human Alex from Petals & Roots is and how beautifully she brought our vision to life for our wedding in September 2023. As a same-sex couple, Alex made us feel nothing but loved and accepted from the very beginning. Wedding florals were initially not a top priority for us but we're so happy to have found Alex as she made our wedding absolutely STUNNING. Everything from our initial conversation to the million questions we asked along the way, the entire process was stressfree and Alex provided us with patience and total clarity on all of our questions/concerns both via email and over the phone. We knew which types of flowers we wanted but Alex also recommended others based on what was in season and the color palette we wanted, which was fun and bright. Petal & Roots pricing is competitive with other Tri-State floral vendors, however, we discussed our budget constraints with Alex and she was accommodating, working with us to create solutions without jeopardizing our vision. Her team was also amazing, setting up everything so efficiently before the ceremony and staying throughout the cocktail hour to make sure all the reception items were set up perfectly. When Alex arrived with our personals to the bridal suite, we were literally in tears seeing how beautifully she brought our vision to life, and meeting her was like seeing an old friend. We cannot recommend Alex and her team highly enough, and we will be forever grateful to have had her as part of our wedding day! read more

Petals and Roots is such an amazing store. Alex and her team are professional, friendly and they absolutely know what they are doing. They are very creative and they work with whatever budget you have. I wanted something simple and elegant for my mom's birthday and Alex made a recommendation that I went with. I love the store, it's such a Zen feeling once you step in. They have everything from flowers to plants, from candles to incense sticks, from vases to little knick knacks for the home. So happy I found them!! P.s. this picture does not do justice to how beautiful the bouquet really was. read more

Petals & Roots makes insanely beautiful flower arrangements. I never thought I would be walking down the aisle with my dream bouquet. I initially contacted Alex & Julia last October with my champagne taste and Four Loko budget. I had a very unrealistically low budget on flowers and almost decided to not have them at all. Alex & Julia patiently answered all of my questions and not once turned me away. They said they could always do my bouquet if we decide to move away from having flowers at all as centerpieces/decor. When I finally decided on flowers, I only ordered my bouquet, boutonnieres and corsages for our wedding party. I told Alex that I wanted the simplest white roses and eucalyptus. It was simple and I knew I'd like them. Come wedding day, the flowers arrived early and I was so surprised to see this beautiful arrangement. Alex & Julia remembered the flowers from my wishlist from months before when I first inquired about their prices and services. I was truly touched that they remembered my favorite flowers and had incorporated them. Thank you so much, Alex and Petal & Roots team. You've made our wedding day extra special.

Ordered the coral sunset floral arrangement and got this below. Paid $125 for this. For comparison - here's a pic (top is what I got) I understand that times are tough right now but I think I could have put together a prettier floral arrangement myself for the same price. The pink just was overly tacky and it just didn't look chic at all. read more

the girls i worked with at this shop were incredibly sweet and personable and have a brilliant eye for color and design. They put together a STUNNING surprise bouquet for my sister's birthday, perfect for her taste, just after a short conversation explaining her likes and dislikes. They were also able to accommodate my price range and the time table i needed the delivery by. She was blown away. Thank you so much for all the help and the top notch service. We will definitely use you again in the future! read more

Alex and her crew put together the most thoughtful, perfectly-suited bouquets, centerpieces, corsages, sign-in table "still life", and vases of flowers for our son and daughter-in-law's recent wedding. The day of the wedding, Alex gave so much attention to detail, care, placement, height, etc. that it was impressive to see and be a part of. She was also very approachable, which we really appreciated. Everything that the bride and groom wished for, happened, making their wedding colorful, aromatic, eye-catching (and eye-candy!), and adding to the magic of their day. We were all thrilled. In addition, those who took home flowers and centerpieces, shared with us that they lasted longer than most "take-home" flowers, and continued to fill their homes with a beautiful scent, thus prolonging the joy and floral uniqueness of the wedding. Thank you, Alex, and Petals & Roots. read more

We coordinated with Petals and Roots to arrange our bouquet, boutonniere, and arch for our reception. I had some ideas about what I wanted them to look like but it was pretty general. During our consultation, Julia was able to pick my brain and help me figure out what I would love the most. On the day of, the arrangements did not disappoint! These ladies know what they're doing, and we couldn't recommend Julia, Alex and their team enough! read more

Alex and her husband are phenomenal. Alex sat with me for a consultation and I showed her endless amounts of Pinterest photos for my summer coral, rose gold and light Aqua themed wedding. She recognized every flower by name and I learned from her!! She worked within my budget and made recommendations for similar flowers that were more affordable and in season. Also, her sons are very cute and she treated me and my mom like family. When you go to the shop, you will wish your house was decorated as nicely as it is. Everything they made for our wedding (bride and bridesmaid bouquets, boutenierres, corsages, centerpieces, cake flowers etc) were gorgeous and lasted for days! I only wish I could have saved them longer as I didn't get to enjoy the extras because we went on our honeymoon right away! Thank you!! read more

I love Alex and her Team at Petals and Roots. They are such a treasure. I contacted Alex as soon as I learned a friend was having surgery so she could create something special to welcome her home. Once again, Petals and Roots went above and beyond my expectations. The team is always so helpful with any and all of my orders. Every recipient is delighted by the magnificent arrangements or flowering plants they send on my behalf. I love stopping into their wonderful shop and purchasing flowers or any of the other amazing things they have. The planters, vases and other items are all so beautiful and distinctive - you want to and usually do buy everything! Trust Alex and her staff as they will always go out of their way to do a magnificent job! read more

The only way I know what to ask for at a florist is if I am given a list with detailed instructions. That being said, I walked in and informed the staff that I needed an arrangement that says "I'm sorry". I walked out carrying forgiveness. The arrangement got the job done. For that I wish I could give 20 stars. read more

I can't recommend this place more! Truly exceptional customer service! We are big believers in supporting local businesses in the community and have used them a few times for arrangements and bouquets for occasions. Every single one is tastefully put together with high quality, fresh flowers. Simply put, their arrangements are beyond beautiful. I had an issue with an order the other day and they quickly and professionally took care of it, even went above and beyond. The attention to detail they put into the work and the care they have for their customers is exceptional. You, or the lucky person to get an arrangement, will never be disappointed. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Alex and Jules are wonderful! I came to petals and roots 2 weeks prior to my wedding because my planned florist fell through. Alex was so graceful and guided me through the process helping me pick out the right size bouquets that I needed. They were even so kind to accommodate a last minute mishap...bride brain seriously does happen. And I'm very grateful to them both. I loved my bouquets and hair flowers. It all came out beautiful! Highly recommend! read more

Jess, who has a florist for a mom came home one day and told me about a nice flower shop in the neighborhood. I was excited about having a good florist (one that's passed her standards) nearby but was also a bit skeptical. Needless to say, being with a florist's daughter is a bit daunting. And we are in Queens and lets be honest, sometimes we get a little too carried away and everything tends to be a bit over the top. I.e. Teddy bears with hearts, cut out hearts, cheap red ribbons and all that flair. Two days before Valentines day I finally walked in Petals & Roots. The store is easy to miss especially during the day. They are situated right under the train. But surprisingly, albeit the weird location it was really, really nice inside. Teddy bears and cut out hearts were not in sight. Thank god! Alex was exceedingly, helpful. She paid so much attention to what my needs were. I initially wanted 2 dozen ranunculus. Yes, I did think that florists just have dozens of ranunculus sitting in the back. Of course they didn't have them. However, because Alex is awesome, she recommended another florist in the city. Why go elsewhere when you're already in front of someone so passionate about their craft, had great style, and was local? So, sadly I gave up on the ranunculus and worked with Alex to come up with an appropriate bouquet. I left the shop happily satisfied and excited that day. The flowers were delivered to Bahari. They were sitting at the hosts desk when we arrived. Jess immediately asked me if the were hers; I denied it. The waitress brought them to her after we ordered. An excellent bouquet it was. Normally, all that attention would leave me a bit embarrassed but these were really, really nice, I had to be proud. Thanks, Alex, you have completely impressed the florist's daughter. I would give Petals & Roots 5 stars, if the flowers lasted a bit longer; only some did. This, I think, is completely understandable as they are new and don't have that much customer traffic yet. I guess I'll just have to go more often. read more

Wish I could give 10 stars! I ordered a bridal bouquet and gents button hole flowers for my City Hall wedding. Petal & Roots staff were so amazing and helpful. They prepared a stunningly beautiful bouquet for me that was just perfect and everyone gave compliments on. It even came in a big mason jar with water so you can keep the flowers for a few days. The lovely girl in shop was amazing to work it. She found out exactly what I wanted and so enthusiastic & excited for our wedding making services extra special. Cant recommend enough! read more

Petals & Roots - Bridal bouquet- just stunning. Looks even more beautiful than photo - Florists Near Me - Astoria, New York

Ordered flowers a week in advance for pickup at a specific time. The day of, less than an hour before the scheduled time, was notified that they would not be ready on time and would require an extra 90 minutes. Why? Because the artist is working from home and is stuck in traffic dropping them off. Now we're past the 90 minute mark and I'm in the store being told "they're here and almost ready." We don't live in the city and planned our entire day around picking the flowers on the way somewhere. Now we're the ones that are late and inconveniencing others. Would not do business again. read more

From following their work I believe the folks here can do anything even though the bouquet I ordered from them was quite simple. Regardless, they put together exactly what I imagined and didn't try to pressure me into anything other than what I wanted. Ordering and pick up was easy even on Valentine's Day. Final product was very elegant. Would recommend their services to any bride. read more

I came into this quaint little shop on a whim after work to buy a bouquet of flowers in remembrance of my mom. On my lunch break I went to a nearby florist, she offered me wilted flowers that were browning at the edges. I couldn't in good conscious get those for my mom so I left and turned to yelp for help. I stumbled upon this florist and went to check the place out after work. Upon stepping in the shop my nostrils were pleasantly greeted by a botanical/rose-like scent. It reminded me of my moms rose bushes. I couldn't make up my mind of what to get and the attendant was patient and kind. I settled on a bouquet that was beautifully arranged, and before I even left I knew that this would now be my go to florist from now on. The interior is impeccably clean, the attendants are so helpful and thoughtful. And the kitty Lucy is adorable. To the owners: Thanks for making a melancholy day end on a better note. read more

Petals & Roots - Florists Near Me - Astoria, New York

This is a tough review to write. I had an extremely easy time working with petals and roots. They were VERY accommodating, extremely quick to respond and, honestly, just so pleasant. They were affordable and their offerings were right in line with market price. I loved that they were willing to accommodate additions to my flower package for my wedding. And here comes the however. Petals and Roots failed to deliver on the contract. We asked for one set of flowers and received something completely different. When pushed on this, we were told that "they could not source the flowers" and "they were not told they had to work with an additional florist". If you were unable to source the flowers required, they should have called and, instead, completely dictated and changed the look of a wedding for the worse. I should have had to decide what my wedding looked like and not you. The complete lack of apology was surprising as well. I can't say I WON'T recommend this place for smaller events lacking in consequence but the glaring error made for my wedding is one that I just can't forgive. read more

Petals & Roots - Bridal Bouquet from Petals & Roots - Florists Near Me - Astoria, New York

I don't know where to start ... I am still blown away! When I first saw the work that the Petals & Roots team did at my venue, I was in tears and just, well, blown away, I could not believe this was my wedding! They put mine & my husband's vision to life and then some. Alex, Julia and the team are unbelievably talented (they have a background in Art) and put 1,000% effort into everything they do. Alex and Julia have an infectious energy, they care about their work and their clients, and their knowledge of the "floral world", as well as the wedding & event planning industry, is astounding. Their ability to make the most of our budget, their resourcefulness and strong work ethic were also especially appreciated. As someone with a "Type A" personality, I eventually realized it would be beneficial to give total creative control to the team and I am SO HAPPY I DID! They took our inspiration pics, venue info & the bridesmaid dress swatch, paired with input from us on the budget and the "must-haves", and they gave us exactly what we wanted AND exactly what we didn't know we wanted! When planning your wedding or event, you want to have a vendor you can trust, a vendor that alleviates any stress from the planning process, and a vendor that understands both your vision & budget. Take my word: You will not be disappointed with Petals & Roots. The moment I met Alex, I knew immediately I wanted her and the team to be part of my wedding. In fact, I was introduced to Petals & Roots before I chose my venue & date. I planned my wedding with a shorter-than-typical timeline, and to be honest, I only felt that was a possibility because I trusted the Petals & Roots team and was confident they would help not only help make this day extraordinary, but also add a positive experience to the planning process. My husband & I chose a partially-raw venue, whereby all decorations had to be supplied by my us. At my consultation, I shared my vision and some inspiration pictures and explained I don't really know how to go about getting this ... Alex & Julia just kept sharing their input and insight and knew exactly what I was going for. Throughout the planning process, they also shared additional insight into the wedding planning, such as best practices for working with vendors and helpful advice. They also worked with the venue aesthetic & structure, as opposed to working against it. I recall sharing a couple ideas, and they'd be like "hmm.. I think [this different idea] would actually be more fitting and ultimately help you achieve what you're going for" Among the many vignettes and various arrangements at my wedding, they created an installation above the dance-floor that was exactly how I was hoping for, a photo-backdrop-wall that was absolutely perfect, and bouquets that fit the setting of my ceremony. The bouquets differed from my venue arrangements because the Church setting was drastically different from the venue; the colors I wanted at the venue wouldn't have fit so well at the Church. I didn't really know what to decide on, so I let Alex & Julia make a decision based on the bridesmaid dresss swatch; the bouquets were perfect and my pictures look so beautiful! And my bridal bouquet was stunning...the style and type of flowers used were exactly what I wanted. Worth every penny ... I can go on and on ... ah, amazing! read more

Alex, Ali, and the entire Petals & Roots team are absolutely incredible! They hosted a flower crown bachelorette party for my bestie and made the entire night so fun and special! They go above and beyond with every masterpiece they create! Their arrangements never look generic and they are really great at translating exactly what I am looking for. I never call in with an exact understanding of what I want, but after telling them the occasion and the personal style of the receiver, they nail it every single time. Thank you so much for keeping things new and fresh and being super accommodating to those of us who just can't seem make up our minds :) read more

I have been ordering flowers from Petals & Roots for a few years now and have always been very pleased. This year, I ordered online rather than calling as I usually do. The bouquet was disappointing and not as pictured. I called because this was the first time this had ever happened and I wondered if the ownership had changed. Short answer, no. I'm giving Petals & Roots 4 stars because of my history with them and because they went out of their way to fix the latest problem. My suggestion is to call when ordering to describe exactly what you want. read more

I don't know if I can put into words what a fantastic job Alex did on the flowers for my wedding! But I will try! First off, Alex is such a pleasure to work with. I chose her because I had passed her store window in my neighborhood so many times and was always drawn to it. So when we needed a florist for our December wedding in Manhattan, I checked out Petals and Roots along with two others in Manhattan recommended by our venue. Alex was more personable and creative than the other two florists I checked out, which I'm sure would have been lovely but felt a bit like the wedding flowers were just part of a pre-planned equation. On the other hand, Alex talked to me about my tastes and styles, looked at pictures of my dress, and then kept a folder of notes and photos that we shared with one another leading up to the date. She was extraordinarily responsive and accessible, and I loved how we used social media (like Pinterest) to share ideas. The week of the wedding, she met with me to view the venue to see it as it would be decorated for the holidays so she knew how to fine tune the floral details. On the day of the wedding, I had nearly forgotten that I had no idea what the flowers would look like (everything else, you always see in advance!). Then when one of her assistants walked in with the bouquets I was just blown away and giddy all over again. I had to run around the venue to make sure I took everything in. It was such a beautiful surprise to see the finished product. When the night was over, I was actually sad that I couldn't take all the flowers and centerpieces home with me, and I kept as many of the bouquets for as long as possible around my office and apartment. I wanted to hang on to them forever, but decided I could always relive them through the photos. I never knew just how much beauty the flowers could add to the wedding, and I could not have been more pleased about selecting Alex as our florist. Her work is impeccable, and you will not be disappointed! read more

I called Petals & Roots for a small delivery order after reading the excellent feedback from their customers. I spoke to Julia who was extremely helpful, accommodating and a pleasure to work with.

The recipient loved it and sent me a photo as soon as she received the delivery. Additionally, the delivery person that handled this order went above and beyond to get the flowers delivered.

When I was 38 weeks pregnant we stopped in here to ask for dahlias because that is what we were naming our daughter. They didn't have any but said they could get us some at the flower market the next morning. They called in the morning to say the arrangement was ready and we could come get it. It was absolutely beautiful and perfect. A large variety of types and colors of dahlias in a perfect bouquet. That night my water broke! Then to congratulate us, my dad ordered a bouquet of dahlias from here! He didn't know about our experience/recent order but the staff told him! What a coincidence! Also, the owner (I think?) was pregnant herself so it was fun to chat with her. When we stopped in the staff was busy prepping for a wedding in the morning but didn't seem bothered to stop to help us. It was a great experience! read more
