Florisity

Love. This. Place. If you want an EXOTIC, unique floral arrangement go here. I came in looking for something classy for a friend for her engagement and was assisted by Peter. Peter did not give me what I expected — his product was so far above and beyond what i could have ever imagined! Like, seriously — it looked like a floral arrangement from another planet. Go to this place if you want to impress someone. Warning — it’s not cheap but you definitely get what you pay for.

There were two things EVERYONE was talking about at our wedding:
1. The Dress
2. THE FLOWERS
Florisity did an amazing job of bringing together our color concept and using beautiful, fresh, unique arrangements to compliment the old factory space where we had our wedding. They were punctual and attentive to detail, and delivered exactly what we wanted. The colors in my bouquet were an EXACT match to my bridesmaids dresses, and we had a mix of our favorites — calla lilies and dahlias.
My husband has since asked them to send us monthly flowers so we can continue to celebrate our new marriage with their beautiful arrangements throughout the year. One of the things we love about Florisity’s aesthetic is that each arrangement looks different from every angle — you’ll have a rose on one side, and then a cluster of orchids on the other, and then berries on the other side. Stunning!

Wow. This is the only wedding vendor I have worked with where I had to basically beg for someone to provide me with information. I had to ask for the contract (…actually I have still not received it and my wedding is in 7 days). I had to ask for visuals. They would email and tell me they would send something over «tomorrow»…at least 2 – 3 days would go by before I had to email to hear from them again. I had really wanted to work with them, as their arrangements do look unique, but I couldn’t stomach wondering if they would even show up on my wedding day… Disappointing, and poor business and customer relations. Management absolutely needs to get it together.

I’ll never go here for flowers again. The flowers I got were old and withering. I actually had to pluck a few petals off the rose for fear of embarrassing myself in front of my girlfriend… but wait, there’s more!
They wrapped the 3 roses in what amounts to a heavy paper bag that you’d get at the grocery store, and tied a bow around it to try and make it look nice. My girlfriend jokingly referred to them as her «cardboard flowers» for the rest of the night. My flowers were also sitting on the counter waiting for me, not in a refrigerator being kept at a cool temperature like most flowers are. I ordered the flowers at around 2pm, and came back to get them at 5pm. I really hope they weren’t sitting on the counter the entire time waiting for me to come get them, though I think they were.
I will never come here again.

Short story: Attitude sent me right back out the door. I will never go back. Walked to

Long story: I have admired Florisity’s artistry for years. I’m hosting a swanky shower and my budget is small — $ 150 was my starting point. I wanted one dazzler arrangement for the gift table, or maybe a few stems in a tall vase and a long, low something for the banquet table. I know this is a small order for a high-​end place. I’m not an idiot — so I called a week ahead and asked if this was even possible. A nice woman said yes, and gave me a day/​time to come see her, to get an idea what they could do for my budget. I called this morning to confirm. She was at a wedding in the Hamptons! But they said another woman could help. So I left my house, in the rain, got on the subway, came down to their damn shop, excited to see what magic we could make. The new woman was very sweet. BUT THEN — she explained my request to a horrible little man who was a total douche. He was literally sneering at me «We can’t guarantee what type of flower.» I said «that was explained to me but I was told me to come in and get an idea…» He said, «well for $ 100 I could give you mainly branches.» Can you imagine? I’m in sales, and it’s a mystery to me that people stay in business, being so nasty. I would’ve gone up to $ 200 for a little courtesy, creativity and enthusiasm for our special event. OR — he could’ve said «you know, for your budget, I think you would be happier at another florist, let me recommend a few…»
Florisity– This order was small, but the 20 people attending the shower are wealthy NYers — who knows where this small business could’ve lead? The wedding is at the Waldorf Astoria! I said «I came here because I’ve always admired the work, but your attitude is terrible and I don’t want it polluting my memory of this special day. I’ll find someone else.» It’s NYC — within walking distance was Doro’s Annex and they were accommodating and lovely.

I was trying to figure out how I would review this. If you want to send an eclectic, funky whacky bouquet to someone who you know is eclectic funky and whacky plus pay the price for it then ok. Your exlectic funky whacky friends/​clients will be impressed. If you are trying to send your standard bouquet to say thank you to a client or you are in our thoughts to a client or someone you don’t really know their style this is not the place to go to. Basically the 2 things I’ve had ordered there, you look at it and go that’s interesting. I think when you receive a bouquet it’s my hopes one would say those are beautiful and thoughtful. The last two bouquest we stood around impressed of what they could do with exotic flowers but also trying to figure out what the heck the florist was thinking.

Really nice flowers a little expensive. If you are into nice flowers and do not mind spending a few bucks this is a good place. It would be a great place if you could return the flowers once they started to die. However that would not make any sense.

Florisity did the flowers for my wedding. They were nothing short of inspired. This is a very special place and they put their hearts and considerable talents into everything they do.

Formerly the purveyor of the gorgeous flowers at the now-​closed Utowa, Florisity moved to its own space last year. The flowers are the most spectacular in New York — parrot tulips, anemones, zebra-​striped roses!
