    Our reception :)
    Snacker Y.

    WE LOVE PAUL AND VANESSA AND MIKO (sorry puppy if we spelled your name wrong!) We had our wedding on June 10th, 2012 at Tribeca Rooftop. We don't have a huge budget, but we really wanted to have our wedding in the city - where we met and spent the past years in. Before we started planning the wedding, we didn't know the florist was the one responsible for decorating and designing the venue to make it special and personal to us. The more we researched and reached out to florists, the more daunting the search became. One of the places actually told us that the price would be around $300 per person! $300 per person for flowers? Are our guests eating the flowers? By the time we reached out to SPINA, we were pretty discouraged, and I began to think of doing the flowers ourselves - thank GOD we didn't! After our first meeting with Paul and Vanessa, we knew we've found the right people. We had a very limited budget after spending most of it on the venue - and our main concern going into the meeting was whether they'd be able to understand our vision without requiring us to spend an extravagant amount money. Paul was more than understanding when listening to our ideas and concerns, and he was so creative and patient in helping us carry out what we had in mind for as little as possible. He made suggestions to help us save money, which was so refreshing after talking to vendors who seemed to be out there to take whatever you are willing to spend. The best part of working with SPINA is the people - Paul and Vanessa are so personable and warm that we didn't feel at all pushed in any way - and they are also firm in their standards of beauty and quality that they will always tell you when something wouldn't work or look good.... and when it's worth it to spend the money. On the day of the wedding, it was such a calming and happy feeling to see their familiar faces. The tables, flowers, and everything else were so beautiful. We wanted a simple and relaxed look - since our wedding was very casual - and that's what we got, with a touch of SPINA flair. I'd definitely recommend working with SPINA - whatever your budget is - and just be sure to communicate your ideas and be open-minded!

    I was greeted by Giselle who supplied slippers and hot tea for myself and my entourage (two sisters and mother).

    This is my second time ordering from Alaric Flower Design, and once again, they exceeded my…read moreexpectations! I knew exactly who to call when I needed a special Mother's Day bouquet for my mother-in-law. I spent $50, but it honestly felt like I got so much more than what I paid for. The flowers were fresh, beautifully arranged, and clearly chosen with care. Huge thanks to Lena for the stunning arrangement--my mother-in-law absolutely loved it! I'll definitely be ordering again.

When I brought their vision to Lena at Alaric, she listened intently and immediately understood what they were after. Her solution was brilliant: instead of overwhelming the space with flowers, she designed a striking tall vase of calla lilies for the bar (with matching bouquet and boutonniere), then created a breathtaking display of 120 candles in varying sizes for the tables and altar. Lena arrived an hour and a half before the ceremony to set everything up, and the result was pure magic--gorgeous, ethereal, twinkling, and dramatic. It was exactly the modern elegant vibe the couple had dreamed of. Everything exceeded our wildest expectations: the creative design, the meticulous setup, and the extremely reasonable cost. I've already recommended Alaric to all my friends, and I honestly can't imagine ever using another florist in the city. Lena turned their vision into reality, and we couldn't be more grateful.

I…read morehave gone to this shop a couple of times 1st to get info on types of plants they have as i have NEVER owned a plant. 2nd time i went to purchase, off course its cash only and no one carries cash these days. The guy looked angry when i said ok well ill come back another time w/cash. I did return a week later. I asked him questions about another plant and prices... he was on his cell phobe and got angry and said "you never buy anything!!!" I was shocked and said well yea i told u i.was coming back with cash... After a few mins of me asking normal plant questions (i never owned a plant just wanted to know how long this lasts) he said "Please leave" ...i was like what ?? He kept repeating u don't buy.. go and i was like what are u talking about I need to know prices on a few plants bc i was going to buy a couple... So this employee comes from behind the counter and PUTS his Hands on my upper arm and practically pushed me out....his face was so close to mine i yelled to back off!! And asked the owners name... off course he didn't say anything .. i was shocked he came so close bc of COVID ... now im freaking out. So ur basically not allowed to come into the shop more than once ?? Or ask questions??? This place is disturbing and they don't know how to run a business.

    I'm writing this review for 2 reasons even though I havent been to this place yet but my GF loves…read morecoming here and shes really into flowers.. so today shes there and buying another arrangement and sent me photos of all the flowers, such a beautiful assortment! First reason Im writing this review is because the negative reviews on google seem like such BS... one review is negative because the man asked if the flowers are cat friendly... wtf are you talking about dude. Its a flower shop not a veterinarian.. you should know which flowers are good or not since you're the cat owner. Second reason is because of bs reviews about customer service. Both reviewers seemed to think they're the only people to exist and that the shop owner needs to bow before them.. Give me a break, they're a busy flower shop and they were helping other people... allowing you to look at the options until you come and tell them what you want. Stop being babys and then running to google reviews and trying to hurt a small business. 5 stars all the way for being straight up New Yorkers and having quality products.

    TERRIBLE service, TERRIBLE products…read more I went with my son to order a corsage and boutonnière for his prom. We described what we wanted. Two days later, we came to pick up the order and we were SHOCKED!!! The roses they used were wilted, stained and HUGE, so big that they would not fit on my son's lapel and the wrist corsage would have reached the elbow of my son's date. When I asked them if they thought the items were too large, they were rude and told me that they would be fine. The corsage and boutonnière were UNACCEPTABLE and the staff were extremely rude. We picked these up the afternoon of the prom and when I asked if they could help us make them smaller or redo, they refused to help. My son and I were extremely disappointed, these were not inexpensive items and they treated us poorly. I would DISCOURAGE ANYONE from using this florist!
