You'd be a fool not to hire Designs by Rose for your wedding flowers! I was recommended the company by my best friend's cousin, who also used her for her wedding and could not stop raving about how beautiful her flowers were. Now, I can say the same and will definitely recommend Designs by Rose to every bride I meet!Rose and Doris were very friendly, patient, and approachable during the entire planning process, even with a bride like me who had NO IDEA what she wanted. From our very first meeting, Rose's talent and expertise with floral design was apparent. She was quick to show me various examples of her past work as well as talk over my vision for the big day. Most importantly, she was honest. Being a January bride, I had my limitations, if I didn't want to spend a fortune. Rose knows her flowers well and guided me toward ones that were in season as well as described the pros and cons of each (i.e. I'm not so delicate with my things, so I needed strong flowers that would hold up throughout the day and night). For my reception at The University Club, Rose set me up with a tall, simple, and elegant centerpiece of white calla lilies, orchids, and curly willows that simply glowed in my venue. My bridesmaids and I all had very fresh and full bouquets. You could tell that Rose put thought and care to every single flower she placed into the bouquet. The delivery was prompt and the set up was clean. The contracts were promptly drawn up and very clear as to what I ordered. The ease of doing business with Designs by Rose really instilled my confidence in the company and allowed me to actually relax on my big day!!! Thank you so much, Rose and Doris!!!!

Designs by Rose was great to work with and did a great job at my wedding. From my personal flowers to our chuppah to our centerpieces, everything was really elegant and perfect. From the start, Rose was extremely helpful and responsive. She was extremely helpful with suggestions and opinions. She sent me tons of exampls and pictures of past centerpieces she used. This made it very easy to work and make decisions. She also put together a great sample centerpiece for me to see in person, which was really helpful. Overall, we had a great experience with her business and I definitely suggest her for your event or wedding. She also did a great job working with our budget. She is patient, responsive and her work was great. I definitely suggest her for your event. She keeps things simple and does a great job.

To all brides searching for gorgeous flowers to complete your wedding do look any more and contact Designs by Rose!!! I fell in love all over again soon as In from getting my hair & makeup done. My bouquet was magnificent white stephanotis with rhinestone center & not to mention it gave such a sweet floral scent. My video & photographer were amazed on how gorgeous the flowers looked. After the wedding we were so tired and went straight to bed waking up to the phone ringing and it was my maid of honor calling to make sure I saved her bouquet then few of my bridesmaid texted and calling that they wanted theirs as well. They had intentions of drying them. Their arrangements were fuschia garden roses with black feathers and crystal sprays. My centerpieces were to die for simply beautiful and elegant!!!! My guests are still raving about all of the floral details. Rose and Doris were such dolls to work with; they make you feel like family. Very understanding of ideas each bride has in mind and works with you to fulfill your look for a dream wedding.Not to mention very economical. I highly reccomend your brides to stop wasting time searching and go with Designs by Rose for your DREAM wedding. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again Rose & Doris xoxoThank you Rose & Doris for all your wonderful work

I loved Designs by Rose. Rose and Doris were so great!! I don't know much about flowers so I was a little scared going to talk to them about centerpieces, and bouquets for my wedding. They put me at ease and were so confident that my fears quickly went away. They worked with my wedding venue before so they knew what would work and where to save our money. They were so honest about everything. The centerpieces were beautiful and my bouquet was gorgeous. I got so many compliments from my friends and family.

Rose and Doris were amazing. They were so helpful throughout the wedding planning process and helped me to achieve the exact look I wanted for the wedding. They had wonderful suggestions and ideas and really worked to make sure that we were able to get what we wanted while staying on budget. I was lucky to find them. They book up fast because they focus on one event at a time- so book quickly if they are available for your date!!

I am so happy that I had Rose do the flowers for our wedding. Rose is very talented and passionate in what she does. Her work speaks for itself. The flowers were fresh and beautiful to look at. I could see all of the attention to detail, it was a work of art. My bouquet even lasted a little over 2 weeks after the wedding! I received compliments regarding the floral arrangements left, right and center. Rose and Doris were very attentive, worked with our budget and offered great advice. I'll definitely recommend!

Designs by Rose made my wedding a dream come true. Both Rose & Doris work with you one on one so you're able to create exactly what you want. My center pieces, bouquets, etc were gorgeous. Their customer service is superb, they get back to you almost immediately after a voice mail or email! I truly love them! Thank you for making my wedding a dream come true!

Rose and Doris are great. Flowers were very important to us, but with a caterer, ballroom and 5 hours with a band, we had to trim the flower budget. Rose understood this immediately when we met with her and never tried to push us outside of our initally stated budget - they're probably the only vendor we dealt with who didn't try to push our budget. Most importantly, there was zero trade-off between the quality of flower and service that was provided to us. From the service send, Rose and Doris were always extremely responsive to any questions we had or changes that we needed to make. They were just very easy to work with. We ended up choosing a calla lily arrangement for the tables (the reception location, The Prince George Ballroom, has a lot of color, so a more decorative arrangement wasn't necessary), floating flowers for the cocktail tables, and a long calla lily bouquet. They were beautiful. When we met with several other florists, after initially trying to push our budget, and they all eventually suggested a similar calla lilly arrangement. Rose had a nicer looking sample arrangement (which looked equally beautiful on the wedding day) and her prices were simply better. Every single arrangement, including the 6 foor displays next to the alter, was taken by our guests. She really is great. A lot of the time, there is a trade-off between cost and service. This is certainly not the case. Sign them up before they realize they can charge more!

Rose and her mother were so absolutley wonderful to work with! First, I received many many quotes from florists in the NYC area...and so many were VERY high priced (I had 23 guest tables)) and I was beginning to feel discouraged...until I read some recommendations for Rose and decided to give her a call. She had such reasonable prices and I didn't have to compromise what I wanted at all. She set up a sample centerpiece for me upon our meeting and it was just beautiful! Not to mention at her studio I got to see some of her other projects and she is incredibly talented. During the entire planning process she was more than accommodating (even when I changed my mind a couple of times!) The day of the wedding my bouquets arrived and they were incredible! The ceremony and reception flowers and candle centerpieces took my breath away and they were even better than I could have expected. All of my guests commented they were gorgeous. Definitley go to Rose! I will be recommending her! If you want a personal experience, beautiful flowers and a reasonable price (who doesn't!) than this is a great choice.

Designs by Rose were one of my favorite vendors! Rose and Doris are a complete pleasure to work with. When I saw my centerpieces I practically cried because they were so GORGEOUS. I cannot thank them enough for making my reception look AMAZING. I am still receiving compliments on the flowers, the guests could not believe they were real! Imagine its a week later and the centerpiece my parents took home still looks good. That alone is a testimony to the QUALITY you will receive. They have EXCEEDED my expectations and made my dreams a reality. You will not be disappointed in this vendor. CHOOSE DESIGNS BY ROSE!!!!!!

As a very nontraditional bride, I never understood what the big deal was about flowers among other things at weddings. However, when I looked through the beautiful photo gallery that Designs by Rose has on their website - it all started to make sense. There was something that stood out to me from their photos and arrangements from any other floral vendor : They were so personal. I could see all of the attention to detail, the thoughtfulness behind every arrangement... and that Rose not only respects the wishes of her brides but she also respects the space that she is working in. Rose makes sure that her floral designs compliment both the bride and venue. Working with Rose and Doris has been such a joy. I was confident in their work that instead of hounding them about details and requests, I was able to let them know my vision and let them create these works of art all on their own. I was so confident, that we wound up establishing a wonderful relationship of which I'm sure we'll keep in touch for years to come as friends and also for floral arrangements for any event/birthday/occasion that comes into our lives. Such a great relationship that when I got word that the floral arrangements arrived at the venue - I was about to get into my dress almost an hour before my ceremony - that I RAN outside in the mud w/ jeans and a t-shirt to go give a hug and say hello to my most special lady, Rose.Our wedding was held in Long Island, NY on 9/24/2011 and my husband and I had guests from New Hampshire, California, North Carolina, Florida, Italy, Connecticut, Mass, Cuba, Colombia, and of course some hard to please New Yorkers. They all raved about the flowers from the bouquets and the ceremony, to the reception and extra touches around the venue. The "fights" over the centerpieces at the end of the night were hilarious. Every single flower was of the most stunning quality and absolutely perfect. We appreciated every stem and the thought and care that was behind putting it all together.With a fun sense of humor, fantastic sense of creativity, warmth and ease, professionalism that makes you feel like royalty, prices that I cannot even call fair - at the end of the day you'll feel like you want to give them more for everything they've done for you. An absolutely wonderful experience, Designs by Rose is hands down the number one creative floral designer around.

Rose, Doris & their team were absolutely wonderful to work with! I had a lot of ideas going in and they helped to guide me to create the most amazing end result ever. They worked with our budget and came up with a great solution when a flower i really wanted wasn't available during the month of our wedding.Our setup required a lot of hand work (we had a chuppah, lanterns and a lot of little extras/details that needed to be set up) and everything looked absolutely gorgeous and done to perfection. The bouquets were to die for and they were professional every step of the way. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for beautiful flowers and a vendor you can totally trust to execute your vision!

Rose was simple amazing!!! from our first meeting until the day she dropped off my flowers, she was always kind and sweet and treated me well. I changed my idea about my flowers about 5 - 10 times over the year that i booked her and she was there, every step of the way helping me to make the right decisions. She always responded to her emails within minutes or hours and I never had a problem getting in touch with her. She made sure i stayed within my budget (despite it changing over the year) and truly made my dreams come true. Her prices are great especially for the quality of flowers she provided. My guest raved over my centerpieces. And my bouquet was better than anything I could have imagined. She gave me the most beautiful, most vibrant purple calla lilies I have ever seen. I would recommend her (and have) to any bride in the future!!

Designs By Rose is absolutely "THE BEST FLORIST" in the tri-state area. The quality of flowers and the interpretation of our vision for the wedding was MAGNIFICENT. Rose is a true professional - dedicated and exceptional in customer service. She came through with flying colors during Hurricane Irene!! When all of New York City was shut down, Rose came through with absolutely the most fantastic arrangements and bouquets. Guests from every continent of the world were present and there was not one guest who did not tell us that the arrangements she made for The Harvard Club reception were the most spectacular they had ever seen. Rose made our wedding a HUGE success. I would recommend her without a doubt to anyone looking for the BEST IN DESIGN AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.The Jalli Family

I hired Designs by Rose to provide the flowers for my wedding, August 2011. I chose to work with them because their prices were incredibly reasonable for the quality of work they provided. I am SO HAPPY I went with them! Rose and here mom were so friendly and caring! They worked with me when I was completely undecided about what to do (I changed my mind about 3 times before finally committing to what I had at the wedding). Rose suggested everything I had at my wedding since I was a jumble of thoughts and it all turned out absolutely AMAZING! My bouquet was something out of a dream and it held up all day! The guys' boutonnieres were equally as handsome and my girls' pomanders (flower balls) looked beautiful as well. All of our guests thought our centerpieces were tasteful and gorgeous! I can't thank Designs by Rose enough! Love you guys!!

Rose is very good at what she does. The flowers for my wedding were more than I could have asked for. The centerpieces were beautiful, just as Rose described that they would be. The bouquets were fresh and alive and also, just great. Thank you for everything, Rose.

Designs By Rose was one of my favorite vendors to work with! When I went in for my first meeting with her, I had no idea what I was looking for and had very little knowledge of flowers. Rose really worked with my budget, and the style I was hoping to achieve for my wedding. By the time I walked out of there my flowers were one of the things I was most excited for. The bouquets were beautiful and my centerpieces were breathtakingly beautiful. I got compliments on my flowers all night long. Her prices are really competitive and the arrangements are stunning. She was always very quick to respond to my emails and was overall just a pleasure to work with. I would highly reccommend her to other brides.

OMG Designs by Rose is the greatest florist in all of New York!! I consider myself a frugal bride so I did my homework and shopped around. Although i did hear nothing but great things about Designs by Rose I still tried out other florists but they all came up short. Rose and her mother Doris are two wonderful ladies to work with. They arent out to get the most money out of you as possible, they try and save you money where ever they can. The suggest cheaper options and ideas to help you save money. Dealing with them was always quick and painless. The day of my wedding my flowers were delivered early and were more beautiful then I could have ever imagined. My center pieces were lush and even bigger then I thought they would be. My guests were fighting over them at one point. I would totally recommend Designs by Rose for both their work and their professional yet understanding attitude!
