    Beautiful flowers!!!

    Designs By Ahn did the flowers for my wedding at The River Cafe and they were beautiful. Riane was my point of contact and she was amazing to work with. I wanted a mix of pinks and pastel colors and they delivered. The flowers appeared darker in person than I had envisioned but in the sun and in pictures they looked perfect and exactly what I wanted. I was also able to pick the vases I wanted for the reception table center pieces from a beautiful selection. The cherry on top was that we could take home the flowers and vases at the end of the event so our guests were able to pick a piece that they liked to bring home. I’d definitely recommend them again!

    The Gomez Wedding - Best Florist Ever!

    Being that I'm a type-A Aquarius, I was SUPER excited to create the romantic and moody fall wedding of my dreams. Without a doubt, Designs By Ahn brought the vision to life. Victoria was incredible to work with, and an enormous support not only in terms of vision, but also in regards to budget. She was honest and solutions oriented. The ceiling of our cocktail hour tent was absolutely stunning, and the table arrangements were breathtaking. I can't wait to get back the rest of our photos to enjoy the intentionality all over again!

    SUCH beautiful flowers

    I worked with Designs by Ahn through my ~2.5 year engagement and COVID postponement. They were absolutely wonderful to work with - Extremely organized, communicative, and so so talented. I'm not the most artistic person but also know what I like and don't like and Designs by Ahn was able to take my vague directions and execute beautifully. The flowers at my wedding were beyond gorgeous and I'm so grateful to them for making my wedding day so perfect. Thank you again so much!!!

    Brought my pinterest board to life!

    The floral design of our wedding reception was something I was very excited and particular about so I can't express enough how grateful I am to have chosen Designs by Ahn. Victoria's creations are absolutely stunning and I teared up when I saw the final product on the day of. She brought my vision to life and really went out of her way to find my flower of choice for the arrangements despite them not being in season. All our guests were in awe and kept complimenting the floral decor! From the hanging ceiling vines to the blooming entryway, everything looked like an enchanted garden. She was also very transparent with the cost of any additions to the invoice and worked to stay within my budget while not sacrificing the vision. Highly recommend if you want to have beautiful romantic floral arrangements at your event!

    Was recommended by friend and would do the same

    We were recommended DbA by a friend who had chosen them for her wedding and were not disappointed by the results. It started with a straightforward quote, which was refined after an in-person consultation. Victoria and team were able to fit what we wanted within our budget, and best of all, had worked with our venue many times in the past and had the familiarity of what worked best in the space, especially since we were not very knowledgeable. Other than a minor issue locating a bouquet during the morning delivery, we would consider the experience with DbA flawless and were very impressed by the arrangements they produced. Thanks Victoria and team!

    Better than Perfect

    Designs by Ahn went above and beyond. They are so professional, easy going and true visionaries to create unique and stunning flower creations. From the early stages of planning til the day of, the team is attentive to your ideas and needs and is comforting throughout the whole process. I was truly blown away and I am still dreaming of the flowers from that day. It was truly magical!!

    Excellent!!

    I am writing this review to share my very positive experience of working with Designs by Ahn - from my initial proposal to my wedding day and after! The consistency of how pleasant the whole experience has been still nearly brings to me to tears so here is my condensed note to help other brides like myself who are looking for a creative, sophisticated team that will be trustworthy partners for a very special day.

    I knew some clear concepts that I wanted and had some notes when I first connected with Designs by Ahn (after another floral designer friend recommended her, which was already a good sign). We had clear and pleasant walk through of what should be included in her proposal and I walked away feeling heard. And I was right! The colors, styles, and my preferences that were important distinctions were all noted and accounted for in my proposal and I immediately felt at ease choosing someone who could listen to me, guide me with her expertise, AND be truly sincerely pleasant and friendly the entire time.

    The team and I connected at some point briefly prior to the my design meeting to quickly revise some estimates on the amount of candles and tables. This was easy to manage and set us up for an easy decor meeting that was a relief amidst a number of other more stressful wedding tasks I had. For example, I had stressed the importance of greenery to me and this was reflected. I had given specific numbers for candles (many many) and it was tracked, noted ... I felt both heard and guided leading up to the big day.

    And on my wedding day, Victoria earned all the reviews, recommendations, and future work I can offer due to a number of key items. Most importantly, the vision came alive as we had discussed! I felt like ALL the candles and ALL the flowers came together in the VERY BEST version of our plan. Second, she executed like an absolute pro - our venue had an extremely tight turnaround for the ceremony space and the team set up HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of candles and flowers!! Lastly, she went above and beyond. For my mid-October wedding, I had wanted Lily of the Valley for my bridal bouquet but understood from early conversations that it is a SPRING flower and may not be the best choice. On my wedding day, months later, despite no other follow up from me, I stared in disbelief that the Designs by Ahn team had successfully found the beautiful flower for my dream bouquet. I felt special and prepared for an amazing celebration!!

    Incredible florals & professionalism

    Victoria Ahn from Designs by Ahn truly defines professionalism and artistic talent all wrapped up into one. She has an incredible eye for florals and colors, and produced jaw dropping arrangements that we and our guests could not get enough of. Her team responded quickly to my emails, worked with me in my budget, and provided seamless delivery and pickup. I was blown away by the color scheme - it was exactly what I wanted without even really describing it. Thank you Victoria & the Designs by Ahn team, you guys are truly the best of the best!

    Designs by Ahn's reply:

    We're all so thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the flowers!!!
    It was such a pleasure working with you to create the vision you had for your wedding day.

    Major WOW Factor

    Floral design was a very important aspect to us while we were planning our wedding. We met with several florists before meeting Victoria but once we stepped in to her showroom, we knew we had to work with her. Her designs are modern yet timeless at once and her use of color is incredible. Our venue, Tavern on the Green, already provides a lot of greenery as a backdrop and we really wanted the flowers to make a statement against that. We asked to have flowers hanging from our tent over the dance floor, but didn’t give much direction other than that. When we walked into our reception, we were totally blown away by what her and her team were able to create. On top of all this, their quote was very reasonable and worth every penny. Easily the best floral design team in NYC. Thank you for making our floral dreams come true!

    Makes your wedding dreams come true

    Victoria and her team were the rockstars of our wedding. They literally brought my vision to life and then made it better x1000. The attention to detail, the care that goes into the arrangements and the ART that is created is just incredible. What she creates for you is worth every penny and then some - I truly cannot recommend this team enough. She made our wedding the beautiful event that it was - I could not have chosen a better person to create my dream wedding. THANK YOU!

    Designs by Ahn - June Wedding

    We worked with DBA on our June 2019 wedding and we cannot recommend them highly enough! Victoria created the most visually stunning floral chandelier and floral arrangements we have ever seen - she was an absolute pleasure to work with and a true artist. Our guests could not get over what she created for us - it was absolute magic! Phenomenal - 5 stars!

    Dreamy perfection!

    When my now husband and I were researching florals for our wedding, we didn't know quite what we were looking for, but I knew I loved Victoria's work and her aesthetic. I loved the organic, soft, and wild-but-elegant-and-romantic vibe. Once we met Victoria in-person for an initial discussion and proposal, we knew she was the one we could trust with taking a vision and bringing it to life in her own way.

    Thank you to Victoria and the DBA team for leading us through the planning (from initial proposal to making countless edits over months leading up to the wedding and through to the day of!) and being true partners in the process. The team was very responsive and easy to communicate with, and when things were more easily discussed in-person, a face-to-face meeting would be arranged. We had 2 venues (cathedral for our ceremony and Essex House for our reception) and the coordination to make that it all happen -- and to transport some of the elements from cathedral to Essex House -- was perfection.

    Our wedding florals were breathtakingly gorgeous and we are so grateful to Victoria and the DBA team for turning our vision into a reality so beautifully and gracefully. STUNNING!!!

    Patient and wonderful

    I was not easy for them to work with! It took multiple visits for me to narrow down what I wanted and also communicate it but through it all this florist was patient and eager to help. In the end the flowers for the reception and the arch for the ceremony were GORGEOUS.

    Incredible Flowers

    Victoria and her team executed my vision flawlessly. My guests are still raving about the florals to this day. I must have sent Victoria and her team 50 pictures of what I had in mind and she created something better than anything I could have thought of. Her work is truly unique and stunning.

    Out-of-this-world gorgeous

    The flowers Designs by Ahn provided for our wedding were simply unbelievable. The arch in particular took my breath away, and I couldn't possibly count the number of compliments we heard from our guests. I'm even having blooms from my bouquet preserved. Thanks to Victoria and her entire team for making our day beautiful beyond our wildest dreams!

    Better than my Pinterest board

    That’s seriously the first thing I said when I saw the flowers - it was better than I could have ever envisioned. I have Victoria a super detailed PowerPoint deck with pictures of exactly what we wanted and she totally ran with the vision and made it better than I would have thought! They totally know what they’re doing and do everything is a super reasonable budget. Just walking into their cute studio on 5th ave, I felt like I was at home. It’s adorable decorated and all the woman are so friendly and very responsive and accommodating. I did soooo much research and interviewed over 10 different florists too and I couldn’t recomendable them more!

    Spectacular and super creative florist

    Working with Victoria and her team was wonderful! She is so talented and humble and she did an incredible job making our vision come to life on our special day. The arrangements for the reception were truly breathtaking! Due to the rain, we had to move our ceremony indoors and her and she team made the space so stunning and romantic and intimate. We highly recommend hiring Designs by Ahn for your event!!!

    Truly Stunning

    Flowers were a last minute decision for us. We hadn't really thought about it, due to the fact that we were sort of eloping. When we started looking I wasn't sure what I wanted for my bouquet, until I found Designs by Ahn. Her work is simply stunning, and I couldn't have been happier with our flowers. We had a bouquet, and six matching bits for our guests (that's why it was only a sort of elopement). Everything was perfect, it was delivered to our hotel on the morning of our wedding, on time, and safely packaged. The flowers also came in a glass vase, which I kept the bouquet in for the rest of our trip. The designs and details were perfect, down to the thistles my now husband wanted, as we're Scottish. They were the perfect addition to the day, they looked beautiful even after being carried around New York for nearly 9 hours, and I now couldn't imagine the day without them. If you are looking for a florist, I highly recommend Designs By Ahn. They make the whole process very simple, they understand exactly what you want and are very accommodating. They are also very quick to respond, something I really appreciated with being so far away!

    Best Decision!

    Victoria and her team completely exceeded my expectations! The reception space and the Church completely took my breath away. They were able to transform the industrial space at 26 Bridge into the most romantic indoor garden party I’ve ever seen. Every piece of floral was created with such care and detail. My day to day contact Emily was very responsive and did a great job helping us with any creative revisions we needed to make. I cannot thank Victoria and her team enough for their hard work, 100% worth every penny!

    Victoria, Emily, Jay and the DBA team are phenomenal!

    Victoria was very flexible and patient when we are discussing options and budget, even offered a preview before we booked. Emily helped us revised and followed up with every details leading up to the big day. Jay not only delivered the result but went above and beyond to create our one-of-a-kind asymmetrical alter decoration, geometric center pieces and amazing pie table arrangements.

    We had a a romantic fall Brooklyn wedding, thanks to DBA. If you are in the NYC area, look no further. This is the florist who does not have a minimal and will work with you until you are happy!

    Garden Party in the City

    I met Victoria at a Wedding Expo before I started planning my wedding, and after seeing her work, I planned my whole wedding around the flowers! Saying she and her team exceeded every expectation would be an understatement. Her team was always so incredibly responsive, and she was able to help me create the most magical day while also staying pretty much on budget! (one too many additions on my part put me a little over, but everything was clearly discussed up front and along the way with any change I made, so I could adjust as necessary to make it work). She was always ready with an opinion or suggestion if I needed it, and had all the last minute items to help everything come together that I had forgotten. I'm beyond thrilled that I have detail photos of my wedding day to re-live the beauty she created. Beyond gorgeous!

    Exceeded all expectations!

    We are immensely grateful to Designs by Ahn for fulfilling our vision for our wedding! We knew we wanted “formal wildflowers,” and Victoria worked with us every step of the way to create arrangements that were elegant but still captured our vibrant, colorful theme. Our arch was a simply stunning backdrop for our ceremony, and afterwards all our guests were excited to take pictures with it!

    In addition to our arrangements, we had several special requests for the team, and Victoria was completely accommodating of every one of them. My mother had made fabric flowers for me out of her own wedding dress, and Victoria was able to beautifully incorporate them into my bouquet. My husband wanted unique boutonnieres for himself and his groomsmen, and he was thrilled at the finished product! Victoria was also able to provide our guests with petals to throw during the recessional and to add taper and votive candles to all of the dining tables so that the reception glowed with light.

    We cannot thank Victoria enough for her warmth, patience, and creativity. We knew as soon as we saw her work that she was the only florist we wanted to work with, and she not only fulfilled but exceeded all our expectations. We are also thankful for Jay, Emily, Taylor, and the rest of Victoria’s team for being so timely with their responses and so communicative throughout the planning process! They made what could have been a stressful process into something that was exciting and fun.

    We will be recommending Designs by Ahn to all our friends who get engaged in the future!!!

    Ahn and Emily were wonderful during my planning process. Ahn, is an artist with flowers and candles!! My color scheme she helped nail down and everything from the bouquets, boutinaires to chuppa and center pieces were stunning! Her prices for the quality of her work are quite fair and her team a pleasure to work with.

    Designs By Ahn was the florist for our big wedding last weekend. They did an amazing job! Not only were the flowers gorgeous, but working with them was so easy. They really are so kind and professional. I highly recommend them!
