Mimosa Floral Design Studio

Mimosa Floral did the décor for our wedding. First and foremost, it was absolutely stunning and beautiful! We could not have asked for a better designer to create the exact vision we were going for!
We had our wedding in NYC and we knew we would have to pay a little more because of the location. We wish Mimosa Floral could have done a little more to accommodate our budget, but they are a business and we understand that. As almost anything in this (wedding) industry, there were things we could not stomach to pay the prices for. In the end, this did not take away from the overall picture we were going for.
I did not know what I wanted for my bouquet. I went back and forth with Mimosa Floral about things I liked and in the end my bouquet was everything I didn’t know I wanted :)
We had one communication issue, but it was handled immediately and no harm/​no foul!
Overall, we were extremely pleased with Mimosa Floral. They are still a little pricey, but again, this is the wedding industry!

I know this place has awesome reviews and it should. The company does great work. However, my personal experience is a result of poor clientele treatment.
I came here back in May to meet with the owner and discuss floral arrangements for my wedding. She spent over an hour talking about different ideas and showing us images of past designs and I started to feel like she would be the florist for us. She told us she would type up what we spoke about, in terms of design and pricing, and we never heard back from her. Ever. I tried emailing her but no no avail. Maybe it was my fault, I did tell her we were on a budget. Gasp! How dare I mention that. But who runs away from a potential client that is trying to save a little money?

I walked in on the same day and they created some small centerpieces/​favors for my dinner party. A bit pricey for the simple shabby chic look but very great quality service and product. The shop space lends itself to creativity.

Lillian and her team are THE BEST. Hands down. They made our May wedding at the Greenpoint Loft a beautiful, magical event. From our first meeting with her, Lilli completely understood what we were going for and created a rustic nautical dream wedding– complete with driftwood and rope chuppah. Like I said — THE BEST. Would recommend her to everyone. XOXOXO

I worked with Mimosa to create a beautiful hand-​tie bouquet for a special occasion. I work in the wedding industry and am very particular about flowers… and mimosa did NOT disappoint!!!
For one, many similar shops would not do a single bouquet, or quoted me at an outrageous price. With Mimosa Floral, I could go into the studio, speak with them, pick a price I was comfortable with, and also look at the flowers and explain what I wanted. I brought pictures with me and described a more wild and natural looking bouquet. When I picked it up I was floored. Gorgeous job.
Additionally, the girls are great. They not only chatted with me about what I wanted, but really seemed invested in giving me what I wanted. I will definitely return!!!

Lilli from Mimosa Floral was a delight to work with! She is a true artist! We had a unique vision for the floral and décor and she was able collaborate and design such a magical environment. From table-​scapes, bouquets, boutineres, ceremony décor, signage and candle lighting, Mimosa Floral brought fresh energy. Even our guests were exclaiming on such beautiful and unique arrangements. We are 100% over the moon with their service!

The director of the Liberty Warehouse recommended Lilian when plans with our existing florist fell apart just a month before our wedding. It was just incredible how quickly she made us feel at ease. She knew the space, lighting and setup. She immediately found flowers to match our mood and colors. And of course her assistants were professional and efficient. Before we knew it, our spacious wedding venue was transformed into a beautiful paradise. Our Valentine Day wedding could not have had a more romantic feel. All of our guests were so impressed.
Thank you Lilian!

I don’t know where to start with how pleased I am with Lilli and Mimosa. I wish I was in a world where I can be in constant contact with her! When planning my wedding, florals were on the bottom of my list — I didn’t want to deal with it and I had little budget set aside for it. My caterer recommended Lilli and we loved her from the start. She is a wonderful artist and person. She didn’t balk at my budget and instead, gave me several options; we ultimately chose the Flower Party. Two weeks before, we went to the flower market together where she took us from store to store and asked us what we liked. Every store owner knew her and gave her a hug. My husband and I chose what seemed like the most random flowers but then, on the day of our Flower Party, she chose varieties that all came together. The Flower Party, the day before the wedding, was held at Mimosa. She taught us how to arrange everything, provided tools and wonderful treats. It was a great experience to put together your own pieces with family and friends. I wish I had more excuses to have them. Florals, which were on the bottom of my wedding to-​do list, became one of my favorite wedding elements. I highly recommend Lilli and Mimosa! I only wish she was in Manhattan and closer for me to get to so I could buy arrangements from her all the time!

I stumbled upon this place looking for my flowers in my mother’s neighborhood and it is such a gem! Not only for events but for every day. Lily’s style is so chic and earthy (- does that even make sense?) I have never been let down by any of the bouquets she’s put together for me. All have been so beautiful and she’s incredibly helpful and pleasant as well!

We were referred to Lilli and the Mimosa team by our venue director — «she’s always makes this place look incredible.» Luckily she was also the most affordable of the florists he had on his referral list, yet the one he couldn’t stop recommending! And they were absolutely right! Lilli and the Mimosa Floral Design team was a huge pleasure to work with — they not only executed my crazy vision of having nightmarket-​themed wedding with a cherry blossom festival atmosphere, they brought in a ton of wonderful creative ideas and accents that our guests couldn’t stop commenting on the entire night! Lilli really transformed our warehouse venue into a new world — bringing in tall cherry blossoms (from where I don’t know, considering we were still basically in a long winter at the beginning of April), votives, lanterns, bamboo poles, linens that perfectly matched my wedding colors, a manzanita tree, etc to give off a lovely Spring festival feel. While doing all of this she was super conscious of our limited budget and worked with us to cut out things that wouldn’t have as much impact while adding in other accents that would be more affordable and still be awe-​inducing. Lilli was also incredibly accommodating of all of our last minute requests (i.e. — bringing in a tree that we could use as a wishing tree, which she made more pretty that I was evening imagining), and giving us design advice on last minute personal accents to the tables I wanted to add. Throughout this whole process she was incredibly friendly (one of the most friendly NY vendors we worked with), creative, and energetic — approaching our wedding design with so much enthusiasm and positive energy that it really made us feel comfortable in her hands. We would recommend her to ANYONE doing a NYC wedding — she’s really the best!

Lilli’s wedding designs were stunning! She is very artistic and creative and has a keen eye for lighting. She stayed on budget and made good use of in season flowers and curly willows. Lilli went beyond what was expected of a florist in design and candle lighting, and she completely set up and took down all the decorations of the wedding. She listened to what the bride wanted, made suggestions and even took us to the flower market for ideas. It was a beautiful wedding!

Lilli at Mimosa Floral was so delightful to work with! She really listened to what we wanted and gave great ideas based on her experience. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything looked at our ceremony and reception! We had a small space and she accommodated that perfectly. She was creative and incorporated gold (one of our wedding colors) into the flowers by dusting baby’s breath with gold and individually dipped mason jars in gold glitter for us. Will definitely recommend to future brides or for any other event!

My fiancè and I interviewed a handful of florists. We went with Lilli at Mimosa because she was the right mix of professionalism and personal touch. She really listened (so important!) and immediately presented great ideas. The trick as a wedding vendor is to make the couple feel like they are the only wedding taking place — and Lilli delivered.
The end result was stunning. We had a limited budget for flowers and Lilli was able to meet that without sacrificing too much. Our bouquets and corsages were absolutely gorgeous. The color pattern we brought to the table was followed beyond our expectations. As a designer myself I have a fairly good grasp of color pallets and Lilli brought great color and texture that I didn’t even know existed.
We would 100% recommend Lilli and Mimosa floral for any event.

Nov 9^th 2014 Wedding

The best decision I’ve ever made, aside from marrying my husband was booking Mimosa Floral as the florist for our wedding. Our wedding was everything that we could’ve imagined thanks to Lilli and her team. Lilli took the time to meet with me and create a custom proposal that achieved our dream and fit within our budget.
Mimosa Floral were able to manage all of our last minute wishes with ease. From adapting to a new table layout to achieving our «jungle-​alter» with beautiful rainbow of colors on the ceiling… to create an absolutely breath-​taking wedding!
Mimosa was able to incorporate both my husbands and my wishes to create our dream. The pictures speak for them selves! We cannot help to smile every time we look at our wedding pictures – from the vanda orchid bridesmaid bouquet to the birds of paradise centerpieces – amazing!

My now wife and I were planning a relatively small wedding and were looking for a florist who would be willing to make a handful of centerpieces and a bouquet for a not very large budget. Lilli was very friendly, listened to what we were looking for, and offered various options we could pursue given our budget.
In the end, the centerpieces were simple yet very elegant and beautiful. My bride’s bouquet was gorgeous. I’d say that Mimosa exceeded our expectations given the smaller scale nature of our wedding.
Whether you’re planning a small or large wedding, it’s worth your time to check Mimosa out and see what Lilli can do for you.

I can’t even express how 1. professional Lilly was 2. creative 3. honest 4. etc. my now husband first met Lilly a few months ago and new that we wanted to hire her services as soon as we met! My wedding was on July 12^th of this year and everything looked spectacular! she more than delivered. no complaints what-​so-​ever!
Lilly, thank you so much and I will be definitely recommending your services to everyone!
Love,
Eric and Nathaly

I found Lilli on a photography blog when I was researching wedding venues in NYC. She had done that wedding’s flowers, and I kept going back to the photos, and finally contacted her. I cannot rave enough about how SPECTACULAR my wedding flowers were, and how many people kept talking about them! I spent so much time going over wedding blogs, and I knew exactly what I wanted before I hired Mimosa for my mid-​summer wedding. Liili turned my vision into a reality. Everything was bright, colorful, sophisticated, «rustic chic,» and AFFORDABLE. Lilli probably charged half of what the florists my venue recommended quoted me, and she worked extra hard to find creative solutions within our budget, or not much above it. Additionally, she took me to the flower district in NYC a few weeks before the wedding to pick out exactly what was local and in season. What a treat! Our handmade, handwritten/​handpainted chalkboard seating chart also was spectacular, and just what I wanted. Lilli even had the idea to base the chalkboard artwork on our wedding invitations. She is remarkably talented and creative. She was fun, energetic, and a pleasure to work with. She is indeed the best kept secret in NYC. I wish I had another excuse to plan another event that she could decorate.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Lilli for our wedding. Lilli came highly recommended by our event planner and after meeting with her, we decided we didn’t have to meet with any other florists, we had found ours. Lilli took care of our ceremony and reception flowers and even decked out the dance floor with 200′ of bistro lighting!
We met with Lillli just once. But in that meeting, Lilli was able to learn about who we were, what we wanted and showed us a bit of her work. She was open and interested in all the pictures we had brought and sent links to. We liked her prices, but loved her flexible in handling all of our wants, quirks and eventual last minute changes. Lilli even let me incorporate some art projects in the wedding décor.
Our planning wasn’t finalized until just a few days before the wedding. Despite the time crunch, no detail was over looked and everything was absolutely beautiful. Lilli was at the venue morning of setting everything up, and was even kind enough to pin my boutonnière in the midst of her set up. Everyone loved the décor and were happy to take flowers home, whether they were allowed or not!
In line with other reviews, I did knock just a bit off of Lilli’s «Responsiveness» rating. My wife and I trusted Lilli after our first and only meeting and were fine not meeting again, or having a demo. Our final proposal was not set until just a few days before the wedding. Some may not be comfortable with these types of arrangements. We were — we placed all of our wedding décor trust in Lilli and are VERY happy we did.
If you are considering working with Lilli, do it.
We wish Lilli and Mimosa the best~!

Lilli was the florist for our wedding in September and she did a fabulous job! She was great about listening to the effect we wanted to create and turning that into a great design concept. In addition, her pricing was very reasonable compared to many of the other florists we talked to.
The first time we met, she took us to the flower district to see some of the flowers that we had discussed over the phone. This was so fun for my husband and I because we knew next to nothing about flowers. This made us feel part of the design process and more confident that we knew we were going to like the finished product.
For our wedding, Lilli created a beautiful chuppah, centerpieces, and flowers for the bridal party. The chuppah was unique, absolutely beautiful, and photographed so well — as did all the other flowers. At the last minute she was extremely flexible about accommodating our timing and requests from the venue. She really understood the look we were going for and delivered on the day of! Overall we are so happy we went with Mimosa Floral and would highly recommend Lilli to anyone planning a wedding or anyone in need of a florist!

Lilli is more than simply a florist. She is a beacon of hope in the midst of incredibly stressful wedding planning. Lilli helped my wife with not just flower arrangements, but many other tiny details that eventually played a huge role on our wedding day. For me, Lilli’s professionalism and attention to detail provided a much needed sense of relief.
It wasn’t just the comfort of one less thing to worry about, it was Lilli’s ability to take some disjointed design ideas and turn them into fantastic season-​appropriate displays. My wife would send her photos of her ideas, and Lilli would find the flowers that were in bloom and improve on my wife’s ideas.
She also helped with finding ways to keep our costs from exploding out of control. Her ability to develop an arrangement that complimented the wedding space was impressive, and her constant follow up as the wedding approached was greatly appreciated.
Compared to the bigger companies we met with during our florist search, it seemed that Lilli was much more committed to our needs than if we had decided on another florist.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lilli to anyone who needs a florist with a bunch of great ideas that can improve the overall theme and ideas.
