    Above & Beyond Amazing

    Mel went above & beyond to deliver a beautiful floral design for every aspect of our wedding. She's fun, creative, and easygoing to work with. We loved the way everything came together and she worked very hard to work within our budget and deliver an outstanding job. Thank you!

    Our flowers were amazing!

    I would give her 10 stars if I could! The final outcome of my tables and Chuppah at our wedding was breathtaking. Melanie went beyond what we expected. You are in great hands with Melanie!

    Blown Away!

    Melarosa was recommended by my caterer, The Raging Skillet. We knew the color palette we wanted and the type of arrangements but when we arrived at the venue and saw the flowers, my jaw dropped to the floor! The enormous displays were breathtaking! Not only were the colors exactly what we wanted but the result far exceeding our expectations! Melanie is the most generous and talented florist in New York. You won't regret a minute of your experience with her and her team!

    Stunning Floral Arrangements

    There’s no other way to put it: Melanie and the Melarosa team were lifesavers. Due to COVID, our venue was forced to make a change that totally upended our floral needs, and our original florist could not accommodate the changes. We found Melanie in the remaining few months leading up to our wedding day and she jumped into action. She quickly understood our vision and put our anxious minds at ease. She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and she executed our floral plan to perfection. Our chuppah was BEAUTIFUL, as were the bouquets—she even sourced certain hard-to-find/out-of-season flowers that we wanted from outside the country. Moreover, she was very understanding of our budgetary constraints and found creative ways to ensure we didn’t run over budget. Melanie and her team were instrumental in making our special day uniquely gorgeous and we couldn’t be more grateful for a terrific job well done.

    Phenomenal and most outstanding experience !

    Melarosa and the team were incredible to work with from start to finish. I truly felt like I was treated like family throughout the entire process.

    During our first meeting at the flower shop the team showed us different examples of my vision and set up vases and candles to select from. The patience, kindness, attention to detail, and communication is something I’ll forever be thankful for when it comes to my experience with Melarosa.

    Walking into my wedding venue with the beautiful chuppah, entry table, flowers on the cake, and the tables with flowers and candles were a dream come true. My husband and I can’t find the words to show our appreciation for the love and beauty Melarosa poured into our event.

    We love Melanie!

    We could not be happier with Melanie and her team's work to bring our wedding vision at Oheka Castle to life, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a true professional and artist! As a bride who had never given much thought or obsessed over florals, one meeting with Mel in the NYC flower district changed my perception completely and got me even more excited about our wedding. From the start, Mel was extremely helpful in guiding our design while ensuring we kept to the budget. She went out of her way to procure and delight us with certain details (like chinoiserie vases and specific types of orchids) that we had requested, and patiently took all of our changing preferences into consideration over multiple samples and meetings. Even prior to our wedding, I knew I could trust Mel to produce beautiful creations for my bridal shower and our rehearsal dinner. With each event (all different venues and styles) she completely delivered, and of course made our fairy tale wedding dreams come true on the best day. Thank you, Melanie!

    My wedding flowers were a dream come true! Melanie exceeded my expectations with her gorgeous arrangements. From my bouquet, to the bridesmaids’ bouquets to the table arrangements –– she turned a rustic New York City venue into a romantic fairytale castle. Melanie is also a joy to work with, too! She listened to my ideas and enhanced them with her creativity and she was so patient as I worked through the images in my mind. I met her at the flower marked twice and she brought my vision to life right before my eyes! And she clearly has amazing relationships with all the flower vendors because everyone said hello and was more than accommodating while we built mock arrangements. Melanie will absolutely bring any space to life with her beautiful flowers and I would choose her for my wedding again in a heartbeat.

    To say Melanie is talented, is the most enormous understatement!! I first met her at the NY Flower Market when I was interviewing a number of florists for my wedding. I thought it was so special to be able to talk with her as she literally walked me through her creative process. With pretty minimal input, she came up with the most INCREDIBLE floral designs for my wedding!! I'm still waiting on the professional photos to come in, but wanted to post some of our amateur pictures from the night so that any bride looking for an incredible flower designer who is totally and utterly willing to work within your budget considers Melanie as a top option!! Most other florists I considered came in with prices almost DOUBLE what Melanie quoted me, and she stuck to that quote, even with some pretty significant design changes. She even drove out to the Hamptons twice for a site walk through and a sample set up. I cried when I got to see her designs for the first time! She was AMAZING!!! Cannot recommend her more highly!!

    Melanie is so talented and creative. She went the extra mile and was such a pleasure to work with. I had such a hard time finding someone who was willing to work within my budget without compromising the look and feel I was going for. Working in a blank space can be pricey! Melanie was awsome, and able to guide me into florals that would help execute my vision without going overboard on cost. It very hard to come by someone honest and not overpriced in NYC. When I met Melanie I knew she was a talented, trust worthy woman who would keep my best interest in mind. I wasn't wrong!

    The florals on my big day were insane and most importantly the reception room looked stunning!!!!!!! I highly, highly recommend her.

    3500 characters is not enough room to explain how talented Melarosa and her team are. She was able to conceptualize my ever-changing wedding vision and make my dreams into a jaw-dropping reality. Throughout the entire planning process, Melanie made herself available, jumping on phone calls, walking through Pinterest boards, and meeting me in the NYC flower market to ensure I was 100% happy with the flowers and design. And at the end of the day, I was 1000000% happy. Melanie blew my mind with the overall design and execution of my wedding flowers & decor. It was better than any Pinterest inspiration pic I ever showed her, and my guests could not get over the design: the colors, the flower choices, the ivy, the candles...EVERYTHING was perfect. Melanie and her team are true professionals and artists. She's the epitome of a partner - playing a pivotal role throughout the planning process and collaborating to make sure the end product reflects the bride / grooms vision (at their set budget!) Unlike some vendors, Melanie will make whatever budget you have work...and stretch the dollar for massive impact. I can say with 100% confidence that Melanie is one of the best florists around the NYC area...and beyond. I would hire her over and over and over again if I could. I already miss working with her - she is a gem of a person! Anyone would be lucky to have her partake in your wedding.

    Melanie is truly exceptional. She is creative and resourceful and will make your vision come to life while staying within (or close to) your budget. She will even meet with you at the flower market to walk through and discuss all the flowers. She made our wedding exactly how we wanted it. She is the absolute best

    Melanie did an extraordinary job with our ceremony and reception decor. The venue we selected is a very unique space, and not knowing much at all about flowers, we knew we needed a florist with great vision, patience and creativity to help transform the space into something that matched our personalities. Melanie handily exceeded our expectations, and transformed the venue into a magical and gorgeous space. Melanie created a stunning, enchanting backdrop for where our ceremony took place with hanging amaranthus, seeded eucalyptus, garden flowers and moss; it looked like a page right out of a fairy tale. Every floral arrangement was nothing short of spectacular and she helped bring our vision for a vintage, fall wedding alive. Every detail from the boutonnieres to table arrangements was thoughtful and gorgeous.

    Melanie and her team were the best!!!! I first met Melanie in the Florist District to pick out flowers that I liked and she understood my vision immediately! She is so warm, caring, and fun - I felt like she was someone I had known for years and felt so comfortable with her. She was very responsive to my emails whenever I was doubting anything or had a question. The day of my wedding her team arrived promptly and got to work. The beautiful wedding I had been dreaming about for months finally came to life with the help of her gorgeous flower arrangements. I chose smaller arrangements and she placed them in every single nook and cranny of my room at The Metropolitan Building. Every where I looked there was a touch of beauty by Melarosa. It was all so stunning and exactly what I hoped for! My bouquets were so gorgeous too and I got many, many compliments. Very reasonably priced too.Thank you, Melanie for making my dreams come true!! :)

    Melanie was an absolute delight to work with and is a wonderful artist. She was the second florist I had a consultation with, and after speaking with her for five minutes, I knew she understood the look I was going for and was the right person to work with. My husband and I were married at The Foundry (an industrial looking venue) and wanted simple white and green floral arrangements to balance the dark/industrial feel of the venue. Melanie far surpassed our expectations, worked within our budget, and was a pleasure to work with every step of the way. It occasionally took a couple days longer than expected for Melanie to get back to us on paperwork related items in the beginning, but I never doubted whether or not we were on her radar. I'm so glad we chose her, because she ended up creating something so much more beautiful and elaborate than we could have imagined ourselves. I would whole-heartedly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a florist within the NYC/Long Island area.

    Melanie did an amazing job making our wedding look beautiful. She worked with us to make our vision of having little vases of wild flowers all over the venue come to life. She was very patient and met us in the flower market to pick out what we liked but also knew when to build on what I was trying to describe. I can't recommend her enough, she did excellent work.

    Choosing Melarosa was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Melanie is an absolute artist and a complete pleasure to work with.

    Our initial plan for our wedding was modern with clean lines and edges. Melanie met us at the flower district and immediately started selecting pieces that would work.

    However, after postponing our wedding due to a death in the family, we chose to go a different way with our decor. Rather than modern, we decided to go with more traditional floral arrangements in jewel tones that would make our runners from India pop. She once again met us in the flower district. And in an instant, she brought our second vision to life. She never complained for a minute about our drastic change in vision. Rather, she happily worked to accommodate our every need and desire. She was patient, kind and so warm.

    When I walked into studio 450 and saw our tables, I was floored. The flowers and table arrangements far exceeded my expectation in every way. They were absolutely stunning and guests are still commenting on how beautiful our centerpieces were and how well they accented all of our Indian pieces.

    Not only that, our bouquets were beautiful and she helped me to add a locket to my bouquet so that I could carry my godfather close to my heart. My flower girls were in their glory with their baskets and petals. And our alter looked gorgeous flocked by two gorgeous pedestal pieces.

    I cannot sing Melanie’s praises enough. Her work is amazing. And her costs are very affordable!

    I don't even know where to begin with Melanie from Melarosa! Probably the best decision I made through my entire wedding process. Melanie's design truly speaks to the couples wants and needs of their wedding while still listening to your budget. She easily adapts to any type of style (as I've had the pleasure of seeing other weddings she's done ) but I felt she excelled with ours. It's amazing how versatile her designs are! Elegant, organic, whimsical or chic she excels in everything. She's a true artist with phenomenal taste of color and grace. Do yourself a favor and email Melanie today , you will not be disappointed.

    Melarosa was the perfect pick for my May Indian-American wedding. I wanted a bright but tasteful aesthetic with peaches and corals and she delivered 100%. For the centerpieces, she played with height, giving us tall dramatic cherry blossoms as well as shorter pieces full of peonies and roses. I think what really separates Melarosa/Melanie from other vendors is her ability to construct, not just arrange flowers. For the mandap, the primary place where a Hindu ceremony takes place (similar to a chuppah), she created the most beautiful canopy of flowers and hanging drop lights under the skylight in our venue. The canopy was supposed to have cherry blossoms but on the morning of the wedding, Melanie noted that they didn't look as good as she wanted them to so her team improvised and used peonies instead. It wound up probably looking even better than the original vision.

    Lastly, Melarosa's website is sorely in need of updating so to give you an idea of her amazing work, you can see some pics from our wedding here: http://clycreation.com/blog/2013/6/6/wedding-at-metropolitan-building-in-lic-ny

    Melanie is absolutely amazing. She was extremely wonderful to work with from day one when she took me to the flower market to get a feel for what kind of flowers I liked. We then spent time thinking through colors and arrangements and how they would all go together. She worked with me to meet my vision while staying within my budget. She was always patient and kind even when I changed my mind. She took all my emails and thoughts and put them together to create gorgeous masterpieces for every table. She was extremely reliable and helpful and she was the one vendor I never worried about. We were blown away on our wedding day when we actually saw everything come together. It was stunning. I would recommend Melanie to anyone planning any sort of event. She is a true artist.

    Thanks to the incredibly talented Melanie at Melarosa, our wedding at The Metropolitan Building in LIC was absolutely stunning. The flower arrangements, the room decor, the lighting...literally every single detail was truly above and beyond our greatest expectations. We had endless compliments from our guests about how it was one of the most beautiful weddings they've been to. Melanie is awesome all around!

    Melanie was absolutely AMAZING. She and her team did a truly incredible job for our wedding I cannot rave enough about it.
    I had a very small budget and Melanie went above and beyond her duties. Even more amazing was the beyond beautiful setting Melanie created for our wedding. From the cherry blossom arbor to the incredible table displays and endless details... Melanie really captured the look I was imagining just from looking at a few photos I had pulled. Her talent and style really made for an incredible setting for our wedding!

    Melarosa provided us with amazing floral beauty for our wedding. Melanie met with us and listened to some of our ideas before offering a very reasonable proposal. Our centerpieces included seasonal fruit that Melanie procured; and the fruit was so perfect that we first thought it was fake! She worked within our budget without making us feel bad (some vendors give a guilt trip, I've heard). My cascading bouquet was classic and gorgeous as were all of the other flowers that Melarosa provided. Melanie and her team far exceeded our expectations by creating arrangements that highlighted the venue and the season. We were all blown away by her work! I'd recommend Melarosa for any event or occasion.

    Elegant and beautiful!

    I worked with Melanie for my June 2021 wedding (postponed from September 2020 because of Covid). The first time we met, I was super overwhelmed by planning a wedding in general, much less picking out flowers and a color scheme. Melanie helped me feel calmer by asking questions to get at what I was envisioning and provided concrete suggestions where I came up blank.

    After we had to reschedule the wedding, Melanie was flexible and understanding. She worked with us to make needed adjustments to our decor. She took the time to visit the venue and made additional suggestions based on what she saw. I’m glad I trusted her eye because everything turned out amazing!! Our guests remarked on how elegant and beautiful the decor looked, making the space look festive without taking away from its incredible view. I would highly recommend working with Melanie for your wedding!
