    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...

    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...

    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!

    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...

    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!

    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...

    Beautiful bouquets but table center pieces were not as discussed

    My husband and I got married in June 2019 and went with a "garden" feel for our outdoor wedding. Instead of the traditional centerpieces we had potted plants with candles in the center of the pots. We lined the grounds with potted annuals and used pops of color to brighten up our venue. Elyse was very responsive to any questions or changes that would come our way. It was also great that we were able to provide our own vases for smaller arrangements throughout our venue.

    The bridal party flower bouquets turned out beautifully as were the boutonnieres for the men.

    We did have a big issue when my mom noticed the table center pieces...

    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.

    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...

    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 .

    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!!

    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...

    This was the third florist I visited and at two months before the wedding, I was in a panic. I knew what I wanted and it was rustic fall flowers and had many ideas from Pinterest. Two other florists shot me down and told me it wasn't plausible and especially on my budget. Vanessa simply laughed when I told her I was panicking because I thought it would be so simple and everyone else made me feel crazy! She listened to my ideas, looked at my photos and showed me some samples. Her quote was spot on for our budget and we had beautiful, unique and SEASONAL flowers. I was adamant I did not want a stock north Jersey...

    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...

    I got everything I need, but my bouquet kept falling apart, but they did do right and credit me back half for the bouquet. They got the petals wrong, the were pink and were supposed to be purple and the set up guys really rushed around to get everything done. Decently cost for sure, but not exactly the best-- good for when you have a tight budget and don't want to spend all your money on something that will die in a day.

    If I could give Vanessa (from the Ft. Lee location) 10 stars, I would! She was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so patient and helped to bring our vision to life. Gorgeous flowers at a fair cost. Highly recommend!
