Pedestals Florist Reviews

Pedestal did my daughter's wedding in March of 2016. We were very happy with the arrangements and the service.

The flowers were beautiful and delivered on time. The whole time Vivian communicated updates, pictures of the final product, and was happy to make a little last minute adjustment to the arrangement! I will definitely be using Vivian again in the future!

Thank you Nadia for all you did to make my wedding a success. The flowers were beautiful.

I just want to thank Steven and his staff for making my vision come to life on my wedding day. Everything looked beautiful and my guest were in awe with my centerpieces!! Steven, it truly was a pleasure working with you. I will definitely refer pedestals to any future brides I know.

Sincerely,
Angelica Falcon-Montes

I have used them on several occasions and been very satisfied. The value and quality is very generous. They did my wedding and exceeded my expectations. Today they did my sisters baby shower at Vivaldis in Bayside and the flowers stole the show again. Anthony and Billy there were amazed on how beautiful there ballroom looked. Phil you rock.

The arrangement arrived today and it is stunning. The lady who helped me was very professional and I couldn t be more pleased with the service.

Phil is the absolute best. Our floral arrangements for our wedding were out of this world. Can't thank you guys enough!

My wife and I met with Robert regarding floral arrangements, in preparation for our 25th Anniversary Party. Robert was very professional, knowledgeable, is very pleasant to work with and knows his products.

Pedestals Florist sells quality floral products which is very important to have a successful event. We will continue doing business with Pedestals Florist for our future floral needs.

We hired Pedestals to the flowers and chuppa for our wedding on 3/16/14. We worked with Virgil who was responsive, creative and just knew exactly what we wanted and didn't want. He got us!! When we opened the doors to our reception we were so touched. Our chuppa was spectacular! Even better than we imagined. Our bouquets were simple and stunning.
We highly recommend Pedestals and we can't say enough about Virgil. Our daughter's bat mitzvah is next year and we'll be getting our flowers from them!!

Loved the service, very attentive and helpful while respecting the bride's vision of her own preferences.

Called to ask some general questions about getting flowers for a party. Nadia was just downright rude. Would not give them my business.

Pedestals did my wedding this past June and Phil and his team were BEYOND incredible. Every single solitary flower was just beautiful. From the bouquets, church pews to mantle arrangements to centerpieces to the flowers in the bathrooms- there was not a detail missed by Pedestals. I wish I could do it all over again and relive the day and those flowers again! Thank you so much, Phil!!!

Where do I even start with giving a review of Pedestals Florist. There are literally no words to describe how Phil and his team transformed our ceremony site and reception site into something from our dreams. He took our ideas and made them real. It was beyond amazing. He entertained and promptly answered countless emails, phone calls and was extremely knowledgeable, creative, and offered informed suggestions that made our day extra special.

Pedestals is a beautiful experience. The showroom and the representatives are top notch.

Ordered flowers for my daughters party flowers were absolutely beautiful could not have been happier.

1 name. Joseph Campbell. That's who you need to ask for. This artistic genius brought my vision, and then some, to life. I was planning my 40th birthday party and the theme was Moulin Rouge. When I went there for my mock set up appointment, I didn't know what to expect. I told him I wanted the room to be sexy, burlesque, over the top but without being Gordy or tacky. He had gorgeous linens there to complete the look of these sexy jet black polished candelabras draped in flowers and dripping crystals everywhere with fluted candles and table fillers- it was jaw dropping. We did long banquet tables , or kings tables, whatever you want to call them (they're the hottest thing right now. He of course, asked me my budget- I told him to give me everything he thought (which I called my wish list) and then I told him we can always filter if it's too much. It wasn't just flowers. They hung these chandeliers made out of flowers and crystals from the ceiling, they put these huge arrangements in a cage made out of diamond looking crystals and placed the on tall black column like pedalstals. They built this harem type canopy made from red chiffon and which was where my cake was going to be placed. Of course, I ended up getting everything he suggested because I loved it so much. And we negotiated a price that was fair. But he was at the venue, which was in Jersey, all day making sure everything was perfect. The linens, which we had gotten through his contact was red satin with Black lace overlay. The room was insane! The owners of the Westmount Country Club kept bringing in their friends, showing off how spectacular everything was. The linens, I ended up getting from 2 different vendors, only because I was pressed for time. The one Vendor, Finishing Touch linens in Hicksville , did the long, 24ft banquet tables. I had 2 of those tables and she was extremely expensive. If you haven't already been able to tell, this party was costing me a lot money so being cheap was the furthest thing on my mind. But this woman was really astronomical. She charged for 495 per table and that's for a rental!, plus an additional $300 for delivery . I only had two long banquet tables, the others were all round. For the round, we did black sparkly sequence which I ended up getting from a vendor in Jersey called Rent4parties. Finishing Touch was charging $85 per Rental per black sequence round linen, while Rent 4 Parties was only charging $25 . They looked the same exact to me! I could've gotten the banquet tables from Rent4Parties also if I had more time. They didn't have them in stock and it was something that needed to be ordered Thank you, Joseph, for your artistic design. And Thank you Phil (and Shannon ) for coming down in price! You guys rock and I will definitely be using you for my daughters sweet 16!

My worst vendor. They gave us so much instability. So many worries. Would they even deliver. A wedding is suppossed to be the happiest time of one's life. Pedistils
was constantly consistent with troublesome situations. Forgot 2 appointments. Made the wrong sample piece. Never made my bridal bouquet for me to see. So i had no idea. there was never a one to one personal sharing of ideas. All i heard was trust us. The day of they forgot the
Flower girl which was my daughter. They forgot the mens flowers. centerpieces were half dead. It was an experience but a disgusting experience at that. They should be ashamed of what they provided. They never returned my cals and threatened to sue them so lets see. I think they are ignoring my complaints. They just dont care!!!!

Nadia is an excellent consultant. The fresh flower aroma welcomes you the moment you open the door. Very nice

Pedestals was the first florist we met with and after meeting with a few other florists, we knew Pedestals was THE BEST. Joseph Campbell was our consultant and he is absolutely AMAZING at what he does. Working with him was so fun and we looked forward to our appointments with him. We told him what our vision was for our wedding and he put it all together perfectly. He is honest, fun, accountable, and professional. Pedestals and Joseph exceeded our expectations for our wedding on 11/3/2018 at The Legacy Castle. Our ceremony and reception room were both absolutely stunninggggg. Our guests have all been reaching out and telling us that our wedding was the most beautiful wedding they have been to and that our flowers were gorgeous. Our venue had appointments that day with potential future brides and grooms, while pedestals were finishing setting up and we were told that their jaws dropped when they entered the rooms. Also, the Pedestals team that sets up the events were so professional and artistic. It was a relief knowing that our flowers were in good hands. Stop shopping for florists and go with Joseph, you will not be disappointed!!!!

I was so nervous with every decision. I literally couldn t make up my mind and must of drove my sales person crazy lol. But no matter what they always made me feel at ease. I can t even describe the beautiful centerpieces I saw when I walked into my wedding. The room smelt amazing and really brought my boring hall to life!! I am so thankful to used them

I want to say thank you personally to them for a job well done. The flowers at my daughter's wedding were amazing. Everyone commented on how beautiful and fresh the arrangements were. Working with Robert was amazing from start to finish and he was there to make sure all went well. Thank you for doing a great job.

Pedestals made my daughter s dreams come true for her wedding day. The floral and decor was out of this world. You could truly see all the attention to detail that was put into this. They had long tables with gorgeous crystal candelabras and floral runners. It was extra special because the guests got to take home some of the beautiful flowers that lasted for weeks at home. The guys that setup stayed to be sure she loved everything and she did!! Thank you again to everyone at Pedestals who made her day special

I love your service and please keep up the good work and I will continue to always refer Pedestals Floristto others!!!

Absolutely beautiful bouquet of flowers!! Probably some of the best roses I ve ever bought.

Not only did Nadia take care of everything we asked for across the board, this was one of 2 things we never had an issue with the entire wedding planning process. They truly are the best and we can't thank them enough for making our wedding a sight to behold.

Pedestals is amazing! They created a beautiful handmade bouquet for me out of individual rose petals. It is one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen. My centerpieces were beyond what I was expecting, roses hydrangea and orchids done in all white looked so classic with candles everywhere. Use Pedestals for your wedding and you will be blown away!!!

Everyone here has just been amazing and I love the flowers for my wedding

Sunflower theme was not impressive. Low quality flowers for me. They did make up for it by sending sunflowers to my house, nevertheless, the centerpieces were unimpressive

I would hire Pedestals over again without any hesitation!!! Joseph made all the difference. He is so welcoming and a joy to work with.
He loves what he does and it shows in his work. What a nice humble man..and he listens!!
My daughters flowers were so beautiful on her wedding day!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

We decided to look at Pedestals since they are the in house florist for our venue. When we met with Nadia, she immediately understood our vision and proceeded to enhance it by providing options we hadn t considered without pushing her vision on us. We started planning the wedding pre-pandemic and while we were unsure during the height of the pandemic, Nadia and Pedestals always returned our calls and we felt their sincerity while we struggled with determining if we would have our event (early September 2020). Once we were made of the 50 guest regulations with other state mandated requirements, Nadia went above and beyond to ensure us that they would be willing and able to work with us whatever our choice. Our flowers were phenomenal, beautiful beyond all the mock ups and samples we received while preparing. The delivery showed up early with well wishes from Nadia and the team at Pedestals. They made us feel special and felt they were celebrating with us. Thank you for making our big day beautiful with the flowers to match the love in the air.

Absolutely out of this world! They did our wedding July 6th and we couldn t be happier! They completely made our dreams come to life! Joseph there was AMAZING and so easy to work with! Highly recommend!

Our Wedding October 13, 2018.

So...let me begin by saying that we knew pedestals had a great reputation and we still went to another florist for sampling before pedestals.

My husband and I had a color for our centerpieces, church and bridal party flowers. We booked an appointment with pedestals and the rest is history...

We meet with Joseph Campbell, floral designer and hit it off immediately. Our ideas, a lantern, color scheme and a picture from pinterest and all our dreams came to life.

Joseph, Whitney, Alvin and all the crew did an amazing job. All I can say is the flowers were so beautiful. The flowers in church were perfect. All the bridesmaid flowers and groomsmen flowers popped. My bouquet was so magical, it was elegant with just enough bling. The pictures of my parents placed perfectly on my bouquet, I saw them the entire day of my wedding (it meant so much too me). The special bouquet of flowers Joseph put together for me the day before the wedding for the cemetery brought me back to my childhood. (Perfect for my parents).

And last but certainly not least the centerpieces were an amazing. The arrangement of flowers, lanterns decorated with candle votive were elegant, warm and perfect for our special day. All our guests loved the flowers. The memory table flowers were mesmerizing. Joseph stayed true to our vision, budget, and beyond our expectations.

Thank you for making our day magical,
Celeste and Claudio

Joseph Campbell is the most amazing florist there is. He will be doing my wedding. I have been working with him for years.

We want to thank Joseph for the beautiful table centerpieces for my daughters wedding in May. He had great suggestions and listened to every detail my daughter wanted. He created an amazing setting. Thank you so much!

I cannot even begin to explain how amazing this company is. With three days left until our wedding, we ended our contract with our original florist. We contacted Pedestals and Nadia was quick to jump in and make my dream come to life. She took everything we wanted into account and the arrangements ended up more beautiful than we could imagine. Everyone was talking about the beautiful bouquets and centerpieces. NADIA is an artist and a pleasure to work with. The whole company is wonderful and we cannot thank them enough.

My daughter just got married this past Saturday. I cannot express how absolutely magnificent the flowers came. The bouquets, centerpieces, everything was perfect. Working with Robert was an absolute joy. He is professional and was so supportive with all my daughters ideas. The canopy he designed for the outdoor ceremony was unbelievable. I wouldn't hesitate to use Pedestals again. You should too, you won't be disappointed

AMAZING They did my wedding flowers 25yrs ago.. now they are doing my daughter's wedding. They are knowledgeable, precise and detailed oriented.

Worst experience of my life. My sister had them for her wedding, people were coming into the reception and the arrangements were not even on the table yet. Also, they came with the wrong flowers. They never even let us see a sample! We ordered tulips and they came with lilies. Since we had such an awful experience I tried canceling my contract for my wedding that was 4 months later but we couldn't because all cancellations had to be made 9 months in advance- I didn't even book them for my wedding that far in advance.

For my wedding, my arrangements looked nothing like the sample I was shown. The wrong color flowers were used, the arrangements were half the size of the sample I saw. The sales people were awful to work with and I would never recommend them. This was a nightmare and a rip off. It is a flower factory, no one cares about your wedding, take your money somewhere else.

We hired pedestals for our wedding in late May 2018 and wow, wish we hadn't. Pedestals seemed like a stellar company, and Nadia designed the trial version of our centerpieces at $150 a piece. Leading up to our wedding day Pedestals was our most trusted vendor. We were wrong to trust them. On the day of the wedding, the centerpieces we received were wrong. See photos of the trial day versus what showed up at the actual wedding. The centerpieces did not at all reflect the look we wanted and had spent so much time and money on. The man they sent to install the centerpieces stopped me, the bride, on my way to my first reveal to ask me questions about their installation because he did not know the answer himself. Following the wedding, we contacted Pedestals about the poor quality of work we received. Philip Sammut, the owner, apologized for the centerpieces and offered a partial refund (roughly $40 per table, out of $150). We accepted, but were then sent a release form barring us and any of our family and friends from reviewing the company if we took the refund. We then chose to decline the refund, feeling the ability to write an honest review was important. Mr Sammut then stated that he had "no choice but to send the file to his attorney who can hold you liable on slander, defamation and infringement of trade" and to "please let [him] know what direction we would like [him] to proceed with."

Robert and Shannon made all of my dreams come true on my wedding day. I could not have asked for a better florist. Robert is truly an artist and understood my vision for my wedding. My centerpieces were both whimsical and elegant just as I wanted. My bouquet was stunning, my bridesmaids bouquets were gorgeous and unique. The delivery staff couldn't have been nicer or more organized. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT and cannot thank them enough. I would use them again and recommend them to any person looking for a florist for any event!

Joseph, my florist, was fabulous! I brought pictures of what I liked, discussed color schemes and flowers, and he showed me live samples. I had large trees with hanging crystals, tea tree lights, flowers balls, and a base at the bottom of the tree. All of my guests were impressed with the arrangements. My bouquet was also beautiful.

Everything arrived on time (my reception was on Jericho Turnpike) and the price was reasonable. I would DEFINITELY recommend.

I walked into Pedestal Floral and was greeting immediately by Joe who was super friendly and amazing to work with. He assisted me and helped me figure out all the decor and details needed for my ceremony. The actual day everything was set up so beautifully. They exceeded my expectations.

On January 8th, 2016, I had my daughter Cassandra's sweet sixteen . I cannot say enough about how amazing and perfect my centerpieces were. The centerpieces were absolutely beautiful as Nadia worked with us to create something spectacular. Pedestals fulfilled all of my expectations and went above and beyond. In the future, Pedestals will certainly be doing all of my special occasions as my experience with this establishment was amazing!

Rob is probably the most honest, warm and friendly person there. Truly made the whole process so easy, couldn't be happier with Pedestals for my wedding event.

I go out of my way to get flowers from here. They make the most beautiful arrangements and, while they're more expensive than your online florists (1800 flowers), worth the money.

I admittedly don't know much about flowers, but I gave them some scant details, some things I liked, how I expect the flowers to be delivered/placed (up on a wall, in a vase, for a graduation gift), and my budget and they consistently delivered.

Every time I've purchased flowers from other places, people walk by and nod. Each time I've purchased flowers from the Bud Stop, people stop and ask me where those flowers are from because they look so pretty.

Thanks so much for our beautiful wedding flowers! Joseph C. is the best! Looking forward to working with Pedestals again for our reception next year

I wanted a custom bouquet arrangement and the owner provided me with a beautiful set. The owner is very passionate about his business. It's really nice to have a floral shop with decent prices in the area.

Pedestals Floral are fresh and beautiful. I settled for red roses which were simply amazing! I'm very happy with the quality and price of his flowers. Definitely a great place!

Hired pedestals for our wedding. Beautiful flowers. On time delivery. Happy customer

Where to begin? Let s start off with I m the groom and a picky business owner that always strives for the best and takes criticism very much to heart. So this is a full disclosure of my experience.

Wedding 8/18/18

Planning was nothing short of amazing - Phil (owner) said he had a vision and without a doubt he did.

Price: who cares. Honestly you get what you pay for and at the end of the day. Happy Wife = Happy Life - it was worth every penny and reasonable in my book.

Execution: They sent a full team to setup and they were there for hours. Phil (owner) was there the whole time supervising and creating the magnificent decor.

Result: Amazing, outstanding, fantastic, and the most talked about part of our wedding.
