    amazing florist

    We knew we didn’t want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on florals for the day of the wedding without sacrificing quality and creating something that added a little extra beauty to the day. When we first met with Elyse, we showed her inspiration pictures with the general vision of what we were looking for for florals. She listened and gave suggestions of what she thought would work the best for us and our venue. MPS has table decorations for rent too so besides the flowers, they also provided all the hurricane candles for the table centerpieces. Elyse was also able to use a bouquet wrap and pieces of my mom’s veil/headpiece from her wedding in my bouquet in such a beautiful way. The flowers also didn’t die for a while after the wedding was over once they were put back in water. Elyse was so easy to work with, helpful with any questions we had and responded quickly to any emails we sent.

    Absolutely incredible!

    I cannot say enough good things about Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange and Elyse. In planning for my wedding, I had no idea what type of flowers I wanted. I found photos on Pinterest of faux flower arrangements for my vision board and was told by several florists it was not possible to create the arrangements I wanted, but Elyse did not hesitate and said it was absolutely possible. I really left it to Elyse because I didn't know which flowers would look good together, were in season, or which flowers came in certain colors, etc. Elyse guided me throughout the entire process with patience and a great attitude. Not only that, I had last minute changes to my wedding party just a few weeks before the wedding and she was so flexible and accommodating. My flowers were absolutely incredible; better than I could have imagined (and even more beautiful than the Pinterest photos I had found!) The colors were so rich and the flowers were so fresh. I will absolutely be recommending her to anyone looking for a florist!

    Gorgeous wedding flowers & chuppah

    Elyse from Metropolitan Plant & Flower Exchange went above and beyond as our wedding florist. She created the most beautiful chuppah and personal bouquets for our big day. She was always responsive and extremely professional - she guided us every step of the way to ensure our vision came to life. Highly recommend working with her - you will not regret it!

    Metropolitan Plant Exchange did an absolutely incredible job with the floral arrangements for my wedding. From the small church pew arrangements to the high and low centerpieces at the table to the bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, they did everything PERFECTLY. During our first appointment with Elyse, she gave suggestions and looked at photos of what we had in mind. She thought about what would be in season and how to make the colors that we wanted work in the arrangements. During our next meeting, Elyse had sample bouquets and centerpieces for us to look at. We asked for some changes, and Elyse was able to pull other flowers to make our ideal look right in front of us. This eased our minds, as we knew we were going to get something that we knew and loved. Everything was delivered promptly on the day of the wedding. It was such an easy and stress free experience!

    Beautiful flowers from a talented florist

    We booked Metropolitan as our florist on our wedding day in December - and we were absolutely thrilled with our flowers! Elyse worked with me to understand my vision for the day, and then took my vision and created the most beautiful pieces for the day.

    Elyse is so incredibly talented and truly listens to all of your ideas. She was able to incorporate different winter and Christmas elements into our flowers - sprigs of holly in the bouquets, a wreath headpiece for our flower girl, berries in the boutonnières, white birch branches for half of our centerpieces. The beauty of the flowers just added to the magic of the day and night.

    Every piece that Elyse created for us was a dream come true. She was an absolute professional, and the most kind and friendly person! Book her today - you won’t regret it!

    Amazing Floral Designs

    Chrissy at Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange in West Orange, NJ created and coordinated all of the floral arrangements for our recent wedding at the Park Savoy Estate in Florham Park, NJ. OMG!!!!!! She knocked it out of the park. It was pleasure to work with her and benefit from her design expertise. She is truly talented. We simply explained our vision for our wedding day. She took our vision and worked with us to create the most amazing floral designs imaginable. If ever we need a florist in the future, we would not think of using anyone but Chrissy at Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange.

    Beautiful Flowers!

    We worked with Elyse at Metropolitan Plant & Flower Exchange for our wedding and I couldn’t be happier with how the flowers turned out. Elyse was very easy to work with and did a beautiful job!! Metropolitan Plant was very reasonably priced compared to the other florists we met with. They offer a free sample for you to see your bouquet and centerpiece before the big day. During the sample Elyse saw that I didn’t love what was initially put together and immediately took everything apart, reworked it and turned it into something I truly loved right before my eyes. I highly recommend Elyse and Metropolitan Plant & Flower Exchange!

    Awesome choice!

    We used Metropolitan Plant & Flower Exchange for our wedding and couldn’t be happier with our choice! I met with a few florists, but Metropolitan offered so much more for the price. We worked with Elyse and she was amazing! She took the time to understand my vision and make sure that everything was how I imagined. One thing that Metropolitan offers that most other florists didn’t seem to offer was a sample before committing. After providing some details, we met with Elyse and she had put together a sample bouquet and centerpiece. They weren’t exactly what I was looking for, but Elyse noticed I wasn’t happy right away and worked with me to rebuild it exactly how I imaged right in front of me. In the end, the flowers were a perfect match and we had so many compliments on them! I highly recommend using Metropolitan as your florist!

    Request Elyse at Metro!

    I highly recommend Metro Flowers for your wedding! Elyse is absolutely the best. At the beginning of the planning process, we worked with a different consultant who we weren’t sure really understood our style. With Elyse, it was an instant connection. My mom and I had a very particular vision, and Elyse immediately understood. During the trial, it was like she was reading my mind as she edited the bouquets to be exactly as I dreamed. On the day of, we received the most beautiful, fresh, vibrant flowers for bouquets, and the centerpieces for the venue were just as stunning. Metro is truly an incredible value for the quality that they deliver. I highly recommend Metro, and I would definitely request Elyse!

    Our flowers were absolutely stunning, and that is an understatement. We were working with Vanessa throughout our wedding process and she was amazing. I just can’t even begin to describe how incredibly gorgeous my bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets and centerpieces were. Flowers arrived right on time they delivered them right to the hotel room we were getting ready in the morning of our wedding and everything at the venue was set up by the time we arrived. Thank you Vanessa and metropolitan plant and flowers for making our wedding gorgeous.

    I am so glad we chose to use this venue for our flowers. Vanessa worked with us all the way. She did an excellent job providing us with exactly what we wanted, helped us stay within our budget and I got so many compliments from our wedding guests about how beautiful our flowers were. Actually, the flowers were quite affordable. She did not push at all into getting stuff we didn't need. When we inquired about flowers, she had me send her a picture of what I liked. Then a few weeks later we met with her, and she had a table set up with how it would look at our reception, along with what my bouquet and my MOH/BM's flowers would look like. It was so impressive. The flowers arrived on our wedding day fresh and beautiful! Thank you very much to Vanessa and the staff at Metropolitan Flower Exchange for helping to make our wedding truly beautiful!

    we worked with Vanessa D at Metropolitan Flower Exchange to get the beautiful flowers arrangements and bouquets for the wedding. Her samples were amazing and she came up with creative ideas to help us remain in budget but still allow our ultimate vision to show through. The flowers were beautiful when they arrived in the boxes and for the most part held up well throughout the day with one exception. My wife’s bouquet was a cascade bouquet with calla lilies and orchids and the cascade didn’t hold up very well. It was losing flowers so we were unable to use them in many pictures after the ceremony itself, but they did make it right be refunding the cost of the bouquet once we alerted them, with no fuss.

    Vanessa had a clear vision from the moment we sat down. She worked with our realistic budget without a problem. My perfect flower were chosen and ordered. I wanted romantic elegance and she delivered above my expectations. They added rose petals on our card table and sweetheart table which brought everything together to my exact vision .

    I had a lot of people tell me the flowers were the hardest part, and the first month looking into flowers I believed them. All artsy florists creating designs and sending me outrageous pricing sheets I felt doomed! Then we came across Metropolitan Flowers and worked with Vanessa. I gave her my ideas over a phone call and she said come in ill create them, when we got there they were close, not perfect, but she sat with us and pulled all random flowers out and poked them in and out until it was PERFECTION. This took about an hour to go over center pieces, bouquets, boutenieres and ceremony flowers. I asked her when we were done if we had to come back she said no, these will be there as is on your wedding day. They WERE exactly what we had set up in our trial for our wedding day, but better! My bouquet was the most beautiful bouquet I have ever laid my eyes on, our reception flowers and ceremony flowers were just beautiful and she really listened to my specifications, I wanted my bouquets raised, I wanted real grapes in my centerpieces, etc.. And when I saw them on the wedding day I KNEW Vanessa really took care of them and made sure they came out like they did. I would look no further for you wedding for flowers. P.S. people were eating the grapes right off the centerpieces!! (they said they were very fresh :)) The prices were extremely reasonable, and they are willing to work with you, if I had an idea Vanessa would say we can do it but its going to bring you out of budget, or we can do this to save you some money. I Highly HIGHLY recommend this florist, it was extremely seamless, not stressful, and had a beautiful result in the end. Thank you so much!!!!!

    We met with several florists but knew right away that we would working with Metropolitan after meeting with Vanessa. She was so incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. She worked with us to create exactly what we wanted and truly brought our vision to life. She was so responsive to all of our feedback and made each change we requested. She even created a beautiful flower crown for my maid of honor. We loved the opportunity to have a preview of our flowers and tweak anything we weren't in love with. On the day of our wedding, our flowers turned out even more beautiful than we imagined. We were so happy working with Vanessa and Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange and would recommend their services to anyone.

    I had a fantastic experience working with Metropolitan Plant and Flower Exchange working with Vanessa. She was so fun to work with and had amazing ideas. She really listened to what I was looking for with my flowers and worked with me until the arrangement samples were perfect. The day of the wedding everything was even more beautiful than I could have imagined from the bouquets to the church and finally the reception. The flowers were such great quality too that family members said they lasted weeks at their homes after the wedding. I highly recommend this place for your flowers!!

    Vanessa was a pleasure to work with. I was not sure exactly of the type of flowers I wanted and she gave me a ton of options that exceeded my expectations. Also, she was very flexible and worked with my budget. Along with budget, she gave me all different options on what types of arrangements I can do and how I can make every arrangement look like a million bucks (even staying in my price range). You will not be disappointed after meeting with Vanessa, I highly recommend going here!!!

    We loved working with Elyse at Metropolitan and would HIGHLY recommend her and the company. I loved that Elyse knew exactly what we were envisioning and helped us to achieve our dream flowers for our venue/church. Another nice perk of working with Metropolitan is that you get to see your sample arrangements and bouquets before you book! Elyse was so polite, professional and always available via email when we needed her. She was not pushy and never tried to up-sell us. We can't thank them enough for helping make our wedding day so amazing!

    Vanessa...Vanessa...Vanessa!!! Not only did Vanessa "get" me right away, she went above and beyond to deliver beyond my wildest dreams. Everything was PERFECTION. My centerpieces were every last thing and her support was phenomenal. She took every call and responded to every email, mostly talking me off the ledge, provided perfect guidance and ensured me I was making all the best decisions to create the look and feel of my dreams. The fact that there is a mock up of your items ahead of the event is amazing and really sets into motion the excitement of your special day. We also ended up using her for centerpieces for the Bridal Shower because we were so pleased with the experience. Brides-To-Be, do yourself a favor and give Vanessa a call today!!
