Seasons A Floral Design Studio

I wholeheartedly recommend this florist for friendliness, choice and quality. The staff there have put together a couple of consistently excellent bouquets for me — I’ve given them a budget, color choices and a steer on flowers, and they’ve always hit the mark.
The flowers are very fresh and usually last 10 days or so.

We hired Seasons for our wedding on 9÷19÷15 at the recommendation of our venue, Bryant Park Grill. IN SHORT, the shop is very nice and the owner is knowledgeable, however, they COMPLETELY under delivered and over charged. $ 150 for a tiny bouquet of maybe 8 white roses and nothing else? They also completely disregarded everything we discussed for all aspects of the flowers. Go elsewhere.
Here is my feedback directly to Gerald 2 days after to which he has not had the courtesy to respond. «Dear Gerald, I am providing feedback to all the vendors directly prior to posting reviews for each. Unfortunately, I was severely underwhelmed by the garlands on the tables as they were not nearly what was discussed during our consult and subsequent emails.
For example, it was very important to me that the garlands drape over the ends of each long set of tables and that they be much much fuller than they actually were. You mentioned that since we separated some of the tables this changed the lengths you had to work with which, honestly, doesn’t make any sense as the table lengths remained the same and the only the start and end of each set were suppose to drape over to the floor.
Additionally, the candles on the table were not anywhere near what we discussed, which were stemmed candle holders that would tuck into the garlands. And there was suppose to be a very generous amount of candles which was not the case.
Finally, the personal flowers: You charged me $ 150 for the bride’s bouquet which was a small gathering of white roses and zero greenery which I specifically requested and I gave you examples in the photos I forwarded to you prior to the event. The MOH’s bouquet was basically the same as mine just smaller and that cost us another $ 85. These are really excessive prices for the work done as there was nothing particularly unique or special about these group of flowers.
The mother’s flowers we agreed on were suppose to be corsages. Somehow, they ended up being larger boutonnieres which were dripping water all over their dresses the entire night.
Unfortunately, we could have received the same or higher quality work that was closer to our specifications for a more reasonable price at another floral shop which is truly disappointing as you came recommended by the venue.»

I was in a bind and they helped me with a last minute order. It turned out exactly as I had hoped and I am very thankful to them!

How stunning is this. 60 silver roses for a special anniversary They are amazing. This florist does fabulous work and the flowers are so fresh. Very consistent !

Great service and value. I pick up flowers and /​or have them delivered frequently from here. The staff is always extremely helpful and their designs gorgeous.

Just left Seasons 10 minutes ago. We needed a bouquet for my niece who is performing in a show tonight. How much? $ 30. What colors? White and yellow. The end result was over a dozen of the most eclectic and unique flowers, beautifully and carefully arranged and wrapped for presentation. The people there were so friendly and helpful. A great experience all around.

Absolutely amazing!!!
Not only is the staff talented and will guarantee that you walk out with just the most tasteful and fabulous arrangements, they are truly caring and thoughful. I came in once, attempting to make centerpieces, and soon realized that what I had planned wasn’t going to work. A young lady, Miko, saw my
anxiery and immediately started brain storming. She came up with wonderful ideas that were visually pleasing and also fit my budget. When I came in the next morning she was expecting me and ready to fill in my vases. She went above and beyond, even wrapping up the centerpieces so they would stay intact for my ride to Brooklyn. I could not have asked for better service! One of a kind! Thank you!

Any negative review should be overlooked.
I LOVE this place. I walk by the shop almost every day and its one of the highlights of walking on 8^th ave. The windows are so nicely displayed and the flowers are always fresh. I could not say enough great things about the staff.
If you are looking for flowers for an event or have a $ 20 budget this is the place to go. I’m looking at the 4 exotic flowers that I bought from Seasons 2 weeks ago and they are still alive and beautiful.
If you want amazing roses that smell like roses they have them. I bought one a few days ago and I can’t walk past the vase without smelling it.

If you’re looking for beautiful flowers, a gorgeous setting and knowledgeable staff, look no further than Seasons A Floral Design Studio.
The perfect choice for an everyday gift, your next big event, or even just to drop by to look around.

I’ve been ordering from Seasons for at least a decade. Their bouquets are packed full of beautiful, fresh flowers with the power to take people’s breath away. They take my basic suggestions («it’s a birthday bouquet, she loves peonies, don’t go too red») and make a great arrangement every time. And they have no trouble with same-​day orders, which has been great for impromptu celebrations and saved me at least once.
A few years back we ordered a vase of flowers that wilted within a day of delivery. Disappointed, I called to let Seasons know they blew it. The person on the phone – I want to say it’s the owner or manager, I’ve heard his voice for years – was immediately apologetic, and promptly sent out a replacement that looked great for a week and a half. I was a loyal customer before that, and even more so since.
My most recent order arrived yesterday. It’s gorgeous and will make both the recipient and me happy for days. I am grateful for the many years of wonderful service.

I adore this place. First of all, it looks like a magical wonderland inside. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are always unique, special blooms in stock– this is definitely the place to go if you’re looking for more than a generic deli-​bouquet. I love the stylish charm of the store, and I love that I can get a small bunch of tulips or a stunning event-​worthy arrangement with an unusual array all in the same place. Gerald, the owner, is passionate about what he does and it shows in every detail of the shop and the great care with which he and his staff treat the flower designs. I always leave with something special. Definitely check this place out!
(note for VIrgos: the flowers are arranged by color-​groups in the store, and I find this attentive organization so visually appealing I literally stop in whenever I’m in the neighborhood just to look at the new displays.)

Since my initial visit early last year, I’ve been back to Season’s twice for dinner party centerpieces. Now, I can’t tell a Hyacinth from a Hydrangia, so thank goodness all I had to do was tell them how much I wanted to spend and what kinds of colors I wanted! The helpful designers created beautiful centerpieces for both of my parties, which really added drama to the dinners.
Thanks again, Seasons.

I was recently contacted by the owner of this shop who let me know that my review and the problems I had with items from his store had only just come to his attention. He felt badly about the experience I had and wanted to make it right — he was very apologetic and insisted on reimbursing me for both items. I have to say that I was really impressed with Seasons’ desire to give me good customer service, even a few years after my purchases. Given that the plant and roses died over two years ago, I had long ago considered them losses and had written off Seasons, but now I think perhaps the experiences I had there were flukes rather than the norm because it was very apparent how much the owner of this store actually cares about his store and the experience his customers have there. I don’t live right across the street anymore, but I do still work in midtown, and the next time I need flowers I plan to give Seasons another try.

We had a wedding last fall, and we asked Seasons Florist to create a bouquet, and handle all the flowers and decorations for our ceremony and reception. When we saw how it turned out, we were completely blown away. The orange, red, and other fall colored flowers were exactly how I wanted. The scale, the arrangement, and the vibrant flowers were perfect for the event. Bamboos were used for the reception, and they created extremely elegant, artistic arrangements for the tables and entrance hall. The staff were amazing, and we would definitely ask them again when we plan another event.

I got a palm here at the beginning of Dec. 3 weeks later I was watering it as directed and noticed huge worms and spiders in the plant and immediately threw it out. I’m not a huge plant person but after doing google searches I learned that a houseplant should not be infested like this. GROSS. I also bought a poinsettia. A small one. For $ 35. The same size sold everywhere else including whole foods for $ 6.99. Total ripoff. Will never go back.

Yikes, I thought I’d be the only one writing an irate review, but I find that there is another one on the record. I got a bouquet in a hurry there, preordered on the phone, and when all the paper was taken away, the flowers were rotting and so haphazardly arranged (who puts red/​yellow roses, stargazer lilies, hydrangeas and those terrible purple fluffy flowers all in a single wilting lump?) the deli around the corner had more attractive bouquets for a fraction of the price.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I purchased a bouquet from here once before and had no issues. The second time around I purchased an orchid as a Get Well present for a friend and this is where everything went down hill. After purchasing I noticed a little bit of bacteria/​fungus buildup in the base but I figured this was due to the decorative moss which florists use. I removed it and later I noticed that a few of the buds fell off but I figured this was due to the use of moss and I figured this would expected. After 3.5 weeks the situation got worse, now I had pests and pretty much all the buds were dead. I went back to the store to ask for an exchange and they refused. I understand that not all flowers are meant last but I know for a fact that orchids can last anywhere from 4 — 12 weeks. This was obviously not the case as it was dying 3 weeks into the purchase. The problem I had with this whole situation is the treatment I received by the staff. I was basically treated like a second class shopper whom they had no need to satisfy or expend any energy on. They flat out refused my request and told me that I should have called within a week after the purchase to claim an exchange as this is their «store policy.» Oddly enough when I asked to see where this store policy is written… they said this is a «verbal policy put it place by the owner.» Then when I asked them why they did not tell me this verbal policy when I made the purchase they said they would only tell me if I called a week after the purchase. Hard to follow? Yes. In the end… I am not going to purchase from this location even again and I not recommend this place to others considering the treatment one gets when things do not go right. I already sent out a formal complaint to the Better Business Bureau.
Overall: Beware
