I LOVED my wedding flowers. My favorite part of working with Pamela (at least until we got to the actual wedding day, where she blew me away) was going to the flower market, which we did during our initial consultation. It really helped me visualize the colors and shapes that would be incorporated into my flowers on my wedding day. But like I said, it was on the day of that Pamela completely blew my mind. Not only did she provide an extra boutonniere for my husband (in case his got squished "from hugging", awww), but she gave us a centerpiece for free which we put on the sweetheart table. By the way, that centerpiece is still sitting on my kitchen table at home, because it was just too pretty to part with. She also stayed until the ceremony was over, pitching in to help pin up one of my bridesmaid's hair with flowers, and helping out as I got a particularly bad case of pre-ceremony jitters. She is so personable and thoughtful and really goes the extra mile. Plus, she gives you absolutely beautiful flowers at an excellent value, especially for New York. You will not regret hiring her!!!

Finding a florist turned out to be one of the hardest things I had to to for our wedding. I had a very specific vision in mind but also a very specific budget and finding one that ticked all the boxes in NY was nearly impossible...until we found Pamela. On our first meeting, she walked me through the Flower District and really paid attention to what flowers and colors I responded to. She offered suggestions and showed me examples of the flowers that she was envisioning, which made things so much easier. Most of all, her pricing was very reasonable, especially for NY prices. Considering the quality of flowers and the types of arrangements we ended up getting on the day of our wedding, her work is worth every penny and more.

The florals at our wedding ended up being one of the highlights of the day - people could not stop commenting about how beautiful my bouquet was or how lush the reception arrangements looked. Hiring Pamela was honestly one of the best decisions we made!

My cousin worked with Pamela for her wedding last year, and I fell in love with her beautiful and simple arrangements - I knew I had to work with her for my own wedding. After a brief phone conversation, Pamela invited my husband and I to the flower district in the city for a full consultation and walked us through all the different types of flowers, what they mean, and how long they would last in the summer heat during our wedding. We really didn’t know what we wanted for our floral arrangements, but after showing her our color scheme, our venue and discussing our theme, she came up with a beautiful and colorful vision that didn’t break the bank.

When we arrived at our venue on the day of our wedding, the arrangements were BEYOND my expectations. My bouquets was an absolute dream come true, the guys were amazed at their boutonnières (and who would think guys would care much about that?) and our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about the centerpieces.

Pamela is not only a professional, but so personable, easy to work with and a true artist. She takes great pride in her work, and it clearly shows!

Centerpieces Pamela created for my wedding exceeded all my expectations. I wanted fall themed centerpieces but was a little concerned that they will not look romantic enough for the occasion. Well they did. They even had little apples in them. My bouquet and a few extras she added were amazing as well. Pamela seems to really love what she does and it shows in her work. Very happy I found her.

I'm so grateful to Pamela for making my wedding beautiful! From the personal flowers, to the centerpieces, to everything in between, she really did a stellar job. At least two guests asked for her contact information after the wedding hoping to use her at their upcoming events. The bridal and bridesmaid bouquets all looked more beautiful than the photos I provided of what I had in mind. My husband and I don't know much about flowers, but Pamela won our trust at the start when she took us to the flower district and showed us the different possibilities. Truly one of my favorite vendors!

Planning my flowers with Pamela worked out like a dream. She returned phone calls promptly and was very receptive to ideas while sharing her own vision at the same time. We met in the flower market and chatted about what I wanted while browsing through the fresh flowers. I liked way more flowers than was needed in my bouquet, but we were able to settle on an excellent selection. About a week before the wedding, Pamela called to inform me of a change in the arrangment because the type of flower we had agreed on wasn't looking good in the market. I appreciate that she has great pride in her work and made sure that everything looked georgeous.

Hiring Pamela of The Flower Girls was the best decision we made! She is sooooooo talented as well as sweet and caring. Prior to hiring her, we met at the Flower District in NYC to talk through what I wanted.... Colors, types of flowers and overall vibe of the wedding. She was very attentive and creative offering suggestions to compliment my very specific vision. I knew after this meeting that she was the person for us. Her pricing was also very reasonable considering the quality of flowers I requested. We stayed in contact during the months leading up... Sending emails with inspiration photos and details. The day of I was blown away by what she did. She was at the venue at 9am with a huge team putting together my magical room of candlesticks and candelabras with flowers and greens draped and flowing all over the tables. The center pieces and tablescapes were even more beautiful than I had imagined or any Pinterest photo I had sent her. She is truly an artist. And a wonderful person. Pamela even called me the week of just to see how I was doing because she knew in her words "it gets a little hairy the week of" :) What any person, let alone bride wants is to deal with someone that you can trust, is reliable and caring. In hindsight I actually don't think she charged enough for all that she did for us. Don't look any further. Pamela can make your dream wedding come true!

Pamela at The Flower Girls was great; she met us in the flower district to show us what was available and listened to everything we wanted. She was very respectful of our budget as well, and helped steer us away from the most expensive flowers toward some equally pretty ones that fit in our budget. We loved how everything looked in the end, and we didn't have to think about the flowers at all the week of the wedding since she did such a good job setting everything up. I highly recommend working with The Flower Girls.

They were really superb, and made my wedding day at the Alger House in March that much more special. She spent a good deal of time with us, and responded to numerous emails, to make sure that we loved the arrangements. Her budget was very reasonable, and she did her best to keep costs down. She also helped us select a chuppah and decorated it beautifully. Loved my bouquet! Excellent job.

I was lucky enough to have Pamela Cravens with 'The Flower Girls' to do the floral design and decor for my September wedding in Warwick, NY. Because we were so thrilled with the work that she did, we decided to give the gift of her flowers to my father-in-law for his small NYC wedding. Once again, Pamela went above and beyond!

The ceremony and reception were small and casual, and both took place in an Upper West Side restaurant - but Pamela gave them the same attention that she had given to our much larger affair. She went to the venue to familiarize herself with the space, and met with the couple to get a feel for their style. The bride mentioned that she had always loved the delicate bouquet that Caroline Bissett carried when she married JFK Jr., so Pamela researched photos and produced the EXACT same bouquet! Both the bride and groom favor aromatic blooms like freesia and hyacinth - when we walked in for the ceremony, the room was alive with their scent!

This lovely lady is a pleasure to work with and a true artist. Use her for your next NYC event!

One of the best vendors I worked with for my October wedding!! I first met Pamela in the flower district in Manhattan, and I just knew she was the florist for me! Pamela was so sweet and understanding when I told her that I wanted green and orange colors, but that was as far as I knew. I kept explaining to her that I wanted different centerpieces and tons of candles. She completely understood what I wanted (even if I didn't)! She showed me beautiful flowers that I never heard of just based on what I described to her! She was so easy to get in touch with, anytime I had questions or concerns, she responded so quickly to answer everything!
Pamela even wanted to meet with me at my church and reception site in Brooklyn, because she wanted to get an idea of how they looked. She took the train all the way from Manhattan to the very end of Brooklyn! Just that alone, was so impressive!! She is such a perfectionist, wanting to go over every detail to make sure I was completely satisfied!
The day of my wedding, she called me to let me know that everything was going to plan, and not to worry. We must have talked for about twenty minutes! She is such a calming person to have, on a rather hectic day! She asked how I was, if I needed anything, and that she hoped she would see me at some point during the day!
The flowers were GORGEOUS!!! Everyone loved the colors and we all loved our bouquets! The centerpieces were exactly what I wanted. It was such a romantic atmosphere that just fit our wedding perfectly. Pamela even stayed till I arrived at the reception and wanted to make sure I liked all the flowers and if there was anything I would want her to tweak. I couldn't believe she stayed around till I got there! If I could sum up Pamela and the Flower Girls in one word: PERFECT!
P.S.
I found out when I got back from my honeymoon, that the church kept the flowers on the altar for three weeks after my wedding, and all the parishioners loved them too!!

Pamela is a wonderful florist, a consummate professional, and also an all-around kind and caring person. She initially met us in the flower district, about 8 months before our wedding. I described to her my vision, my color scheme, and my requests: I knew I definitely wanted dark, deep red roses and succulents (as a nod to my husband's home state of California). She took my ideas and ran with them, suggesting flowers I had never heard of and things I hadn't thought of that were all creative and exciting. I was never concerned about my flowers after this initial meeting; I knew it was in good hands. Any time we needed to reach Pamela with questions or to adjust our proposal, she was very responsive and accommodating.

On the day of, Pamela and her team worked hard to transform the venue into a special and romantic setting. I was blown away by my bouquet; it was everything I dreamed of and more! She installed a gorgeous pussy willow tree, lit up with LED lanterns, in the bar area. It added just the right amount of drama. Since we did not have a traditional wedding cake, she helped to create a special dessert display table covered with flowers. This livened up our minimally decorated cakes and pies. The centerpieces were perfect and the candles and rose petals scattered throughout the venue were the finishing touches. Everyone was very impressed with how it turned out.

You will not be disappointed if you book Pamela as your florist. She has extraordinary vision and talent, and she will help to work within your budget. We are so thankful for everything she did for us; her work made our wedding a beautiful place to be!

Having Pamela with The Flower Girls do the flowers and décor for my September wedding was the best decision I made after saying yes to my groom!
Our collaboration began with a consultation in which she really got a feel for exactly what we wanted – what type of wedding we would have and who we were as bride and groom. She took copious notes about our venue, my dress, and our plans for the ceremony and reception.
When we began, all I knew is that I wanted “fall colors.” She helped me refine that notion into jeweled tones, natural arrangements, and extremely personalized touches in flower selection – from Fiddle-head Ferns in my bouquet as a nod to my violin-playing fiancé – to Bells of Ireland used in our table arrangements in memory of my grandmother.
Next was a trip to the flower district downtown. Pamela knew every name of every flower I saw! She was obviously well known and respected by each of the vendors we encountered, and knew exactly which shop had the best selection. I left that meeting with a real vision of what I could look forward to on my special day.
Between that day and our wedding, Pamela went out of her way to visit our venue (a new one to her,) and to familiarize herself with the space. On our wedding day, everything was exactly what we wanted! The sconces Pamela used to decorate our outdoor gazebo brightened an unfortunately rainy afternoon… the tables were aglow with those lanterns and jeweled toned arrangements… and my bouquet was – in a word – perfect.
But the real jewel is Pamela herself. On what was a crazy and hectic day, she was a beacon of calm, cool, collected energy I hope that prospective brides who read this can get a feel of how pleased we were with every detail of the floral design and décor that Pamela produced, and how grateful we are to her for her lovely and professional service. I would MOST highly recommend The Flower Girls to any bride in New York City!

Pamela and her team were amazing and I received so many compliments on the centerpieces and the lanterns in the tent. She worked within my budget and really listened to what I was looking for (no other florist I met with suggested a meeting down in the flower district so I can see/touch all the flowers for myself). The arrangements and the decor were truly beautiful and she really thought of everything. The flower arch that we used for the ceremony was such a great touch and addition and her addition of rosemary and lavendar really added to the ambiance of the venue. I can't say enough nice things about her!

I couldn't have been happier with my wedding flowers! The bouquets, personal flowers, center pieces and room decorations were more beautiful than expected. I felt that it was a great combination of my preferences and Pamela's vision honed through years of experience.

I secured The Flower Girls seven months before my wedding. During the months of planning I emailed images of flowers to Pamela and she would let me know if they would be in season in August. If they were not, she would give me suggestions of what would be similar. Two months before the wedding we met at the site and brain stormed. A month before the wedding we went to the flower market and I picked out my vases and flowers. I felt totally secure throughout the process that the flowers on my wedding day would be the most unique and beautiful of any florist.

Pamela and her team are fabulous! We had a theme in mind (Art Deco) and Pamela was completely on board for working with our theme. She is a pleasure to work with and was always responsive to emails etc. The final result was absolutely breath-taking!! Many people commented on how beautiful the flowers were. We couldn't have been more pleased! She absolutely made our day very special!!

Pamela from The Flower Girls was absolutely incredible to work with from the first time I contacted her. When we first met in the flower district we got to discuss the flowers and vases that I liked there. She accepted as many pictures that I could find as inspirations as well. Everything she made was absolutely beautiful: the bridal bouquet, maid of honor bouquet, 2 mother's corsages, 5 boutonnieres, 2 flower girl baskets, 2 flower pedestals in front of the church, runner with petals, 2 baskets of petals for throwing after the ceremony, 10 small flowers bubbles for the cocktail tables, and gorgeous centerpieces for the reception with flowers also around the cake. Not only were all the flowers beautiful but the attention to all the other details was incredible. The wrapping and jewelry added to the bouquets, the jeweled wristlets for the corsages, the beautifully ribbon wrapped flower girls baskets, the gorgeously decorated baskets for the flower petals to be thrown after the ceremony, the beautiful bubbles in the cocktail hour and then the gorgeous silver holders for our reception centerpieces - Classy and Elegant are an understatement when it comes to Pamela's work. Pamela is kind and really listens, she works with your budget, she is wonderfully creative, and she really executes exactly what you want, which in my opinion, makes her the best in the industry!

I was thrilled with the Flower Girls. They went above and beyond my expectations. Communication, before and after the event was great, which can be the most important thing when you're trying to take care of all the wedding details. The flowers, themselves, were gorgeous, fresh and beautifully arranged, bouquets, table centerpieces and other areas such as rosebuds on the place card table. I could not have been happier with the Flower Girls.

Pamela was great to work with. I gave her a theme I wanted for the wedding during our initial meeting and she provided some additional ideas that just added to the beauty of it all. She was flexible and accommodating as I had to change my table shapes at the last minute and asked to add some violet to the bridesmaids bouquets. She accomodated these changes without a problem. When I arrived to my venue to see how everything was going Pamela and her team were there to greet me amd show me all their work. Everything from my centerpieces to my bouquet to my place card arrangement & work in and around the venue was gorgeous. I would recommend her highly and would even advise to give her creative license to put together the arrangements as she sees fit. There's so much to worry about when you're planning a wedding. If you hire a professional like Pam and let her do her thing you will not need to worry about your flowers. I'm so glad I hired her!

We couldn't have been happier with Pamela and her team. Prior to the wedding she was helpful, professional and attentive to all of our needs. One of my favorite memories the day of our wedding, was arriving at the space and seeing all of the work that Pamela had already done. It was the moment I realized that this was all finally happening! Her team was sweet and pleasant to work with too! We got so many compliments about the flowers and the chuppah. We highly recommend Pamela Cravens and The Flower Girls for your event!

Talk about a dream come true. Pamela at the Flower Girls exceeded all my expectations. She and I connected at our first meeting, and she was able to visualize exactly what I wanted. Her artistic sense coupled with her eagerness to please is a calming force to any bride. I knew that I could trust her. She took what little guidance I provided her and made a masterpiece. She would send me pictures and take me to the flower market to get a sense of the flowers she was thinking about. For someone who knows nothing about flowers, I knew I was in the best hands. The flowers and arrangements made the room light up. For anyone who is selecting vendors, Pamela is one of the best that I have ever worked with. I just recently looked at pictures of my bouquet and can't help but say "she did well." For those brides out there, Pamela is a superstar florist. You will be thrilled you have chosen her!

I cannot speak highly enough about Pamela Cravens and The Flower Girls and the artistry that went into the flowers that they designed for my wedding. I was very selective when it came to choosing a florist, and spent a lot of time researching my options. As it turned out, every piece was a work of art, from the bouquets to the boutonnieres to the bracelet corsage for my Grandmother. They surpassed my expectations and looked gorgeous in the photos. Pamela can create for you something much more unique and beautiful than the ubiquitous red roses that everyone gets.

Pamela and the Flower Girls transformed my venue into a romantic and dreamy wedding! We were stuck with two rooms with very different styles that had to be combined to accommodate my guests (one was a glass house garden theme and the other was like a ski chalet!). Pamela listened to my ideas and concerns, and came up with several designs. We tweaked the designs at the sample viewing, and they came out amazing on the day!

I also had a chuppah that needed to be carried during the ceremony. THANK GOD Pamela stayed during the "practice run" an hour before the wedding because the groomsmen broke it!!! She fixed it on the spot, and taught the groomsmen how to carry it properly.

She is extremely thoughtful and even helped me pack up after the wedding (for a very reasonable fee). She is also very conscious of my budget and did everything she could to keep it within my cost constraints.

Thank you Pamela, everyone is still raving about your great work!

I highly recommend Flower Girls.
