Julia Testa Design has the most beautiful flowers in New York! Julia and her team did the flowers for our NYC wedding and they were so stunning. Her team did such an incredible job and the flowers were the most talked about item at our event. Julia Testa did our arch, aisle runner arrangements, welcome sign flowers, table arrangements, DJ booth, cake flowers and staircase arrangement and it was all flawless. Julia is also so cool, we loved every time we'd talk and meet with her. She totally understood our vision and made it come to life perfectly! I'd highly recommend Julia Testa and her team for all of your floral needs in the New York area, they were AMAZING! Thank you Julia!
There are not words to describe how magnificent the flowers were for our wedding. Working with Julia and the events team was amazing, and the flowers left us speechless (though all of our guests were absolutely raving). We had two different color palettes - one for the bridal party and one for table arrangements and the team absolutely knocked it out of the park for both. The flowers were radiant - fresh, fragrant and stunning. We absolutely recommend working with Julia and team for any events - they are unparalleled!
Julia is hands down NYCs best florist. She’s not only extremely likeable but knowledgeable and trustworthy as well. Her team is so talented and creative - they bring your dream to life. We were absolutely blown away by what Julia was able to do for our wedding. Thank you 10 million times over for being the gift that you are!
Julia & team listened to my vision, colors and budget. They were great to work with and I would definitely use them again for my next event.
Brides to be: do yourselves a favor right now and hire Julia & her wedding team! Working with them was such a delight, from the initial phone call, to the in-person consultation, to the follow-up meetings, to the day-of. Julia's team was able to take my vision and make it a reality & more! They created a stunning arch for our ceremony and then re-purposed those flowers for our reception space, and everything turned out STUNNING. All the bouquets were gorgeous as were the centerpieces. Julia was so adaptable in terms of making the most of our budget, which we really really appreciated. Highly recommend!
Julia and her team were very helpful in the pre- wedding floral selection process. I do not know much about flowers or much about what I wanted as a bride and they guided me through the process. The bouquets were gorgeous and the alter arrangements were fantastic in the movie theater we held the ceremony in. I barely had to think about delivery/pick up as it was all handled between the florist and the venue. Thank you so much Julia for a wonder experience!
I was blown away by how beautiful our florals were for our wedding. We received so many compliments, and everyone kept asking who designed everything. They completely elevated the restaurant we had our reception at, and my bouquet is insanely gorgeous. Also, Julia and her team were so sweet and accommodating when I had to change basically everything when our original venue cancelled on us. I cannot thank them enough, and if I ever need florals for an event again I will be using them.
Julia Testa did the flowers for my son's welcome dinner. They were absolutely beautiful! She created exactly what I wanted and it came out better than I had expected. I was thrilled with my experience from the first phone call to the vision board to the finished product. I would highly recommend!!!
the service and contact with them is super fast. I loved the decoration of the arch, the table flowers were everything I imagined. It was a dream. Thanks
Julia and her team over exceeded any expectations er ever had! Both in final result and during the planning process. They are such pros and experts and were really engaged in the creative process of putting together the vision for our wedding. They adapted the ideas to what would fit both the vibe we were going for as well as for what would work well at the venue.
The arrangements they put together were beyond and they were on time with everything. So reliable and professional!! Would recommend 1000% to anyone planning their wedding or an event!
Hiring Julia and her team was one of the best decisions I made when wedding planning. On our first consultation call, I knew I wanted to hire her based on her transparency and overall friendliness and enthusiasm. I changed my vision and color palette a few times and Julia and her team were on top of every detail up until our wedding day. The flowers were above and beyond anything I could have imagined!
I cannot recommend Julia and team enough. Where do I even start? From my first conversation with Julia, she listened to me, understood me, and helped me bring my vision to life. I wasn't exactly sure what florals I wanted for the wedding, and Julia helped guide me. She is truly the best in the biz and has a mighty team behind her.
They are so professional, thorough and organized. From the in-person centerpiece creation meeting (that they had me take home!!!) to the delivery and set up of wedding florals, no stone was left unturned.
Julia and team went above and beyond what we asked for and I would recommend them highly to anyone. In my opinion, there is no other florist option that compares (believe me - I spoke to A LOT). Thank you, Julia!!!
I loved how my flowers turned out for our intimate church ceremony. We went with a simple, all-white (and some greenery) look--Julia Testa executed it perfectly. We worked together entirely through email due to COVID, which was difficult since we are very visual and would have preferred in-person, but their staff was patient in answering our emails. The only slight issue we had with our flowers on the day-of was their size. I had sent a photo for inspiration of two large alter arrangements, which they used to gauge their quote. The arrangement day-of was smaller than we originally anticipated, but still beautiful nonetheless! The staff was kind enough to send a close-up picture of the flowers the day before, which added to our overall excitement and anticipation for our actual wedding day. Overall, we were very happy with everything!
Julia Testa is the absolute best florist you can ever work with! Most people talk about how gorgeous the bride looked when they see wedding photos.. be prepared for viewers to talk about how INSANE the flowers were at your affair. Julia absolutely transforms the venue with her creative floral installations. Julia and her team are worth EVERY penny!
We chose Julia Testa because we wanted to support an independent florist. What we received was first-rate service and extraordinary flowers for our wedding. The work they did elevated our wedding so much.
Not only did we love the flowers, but nearly all of our guests commented on how beautiful everything was.
Thank you Julia Testa and team!
I couldn’t have loved my wedding flowers more! I sent Julia some inspirational flower arrangements and she immediately understood what I was looking for and completely nailed it. They were so dreamy and I loved having them in our house for the following weeks. I highly recommend working with Julia for any occasion.
Julia Testa and her team are incredible! From the very beginning it was a great experience. Quick and efficient responses to emails/calls. They are on it! I never thought I would be able to afford such beautiful flowers and they worked within my budget and the flowers were beyond my wildest dreams. I will 1000% work with them again and highly recommend them.
Julia’s team did an amazing job for a Central Park elopement. I had a beautiful bouquet, corsage’s & boutonnières for our special guests. The flowers were delivered to our hotel with no issues and they were fresh and vibrant. 10 out of 10!
Julia Testa’s team captured exactly what I wanted for my Wedding Flowers! We had so much fun picking out all of the different options, and they accommodated our pickup with ease! I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married in New York City!
Easy to work with and very responsive; team worked with me on my very specific floral requests. Highly satisfied.
Julia Testa and her team were spectacular to work with and the flowers were all we dreamed of and more! We recommend them highly - you will not be disappointed.
All I can say is WOW. Julia and her team absolutely CRUSHED the florals at my wedding. The flowers 100% made the entire day's aesthetic what it was. From the start Julia and her team were always open to phone consultations, meetings, and ideas and we felt very involved in the whole process and what the vision was for my wedding. I wanted a garden-style, rustic colorful yet soft vibe for florals and when myself and my now husband walked into the venue, we were absolutely floored. All expectations were exceeded. Our venue was a very open, wooden loft vibe so flowers were everything. We got endless compliments on how the room looked that day and I could not have dreamt up a better outcome for the flowers. Julia was so fun to work with and she seemed super invested to the whole process. I will be dreaming about my wedding day flowers for years to come!!! Could not have had a better experience- thanks Julia Testa !!!
Look no further. Julia Testa and team were a dream to work with, from beginning to end. To be more descriptive, we communicated throughout the process, had an onsite visit whereby vision adjustments were made and perfected, and then come my actual wedding day, the venue looked absolutely magical. Small detail, but I must mention that the day after my wedding the JT team came to pick-up some rentals we had and that too went seamless. Important to note as each of us wants every part, before, during, and after your wedding or special event, to be completed without a hitch.
To expound a little more on everything leading up, there were e-mails, text messages, personalization, site visits, careful consideration of ambiance relative to the venue, and appreciation for budget. Additionally, at the last minute, we had about 100 extra guests come and the JT team made the adjustments flawlessly.
The real sign of an excellent outcome is when you have guests in awe that the arrangements are real because of the outstanding beauty, use of ornate flowers, colors, and for some pieces, the size of the arrangements. Each recap we received from our wedding was that it was a one and only and one of the best events they had been to. When probed, each person mentioned the flowers as one of the main elements that provided that experience.
How I started is how I will end. Look no further. Work with Julia Testa and team for your next event.
Special shoutout to Maria and Julia - you both have a special place in our hearts forever.
Julia and her team did an amazing job! I didn’t know much about what I wanted outside of color scheme and some photos I found online, and she helped guide me to beautiful arrangements within our budget. she arranged a trial on a day that was convenient. They delivered the flowers to the venue and everything was set up when I arrived. Highly recommend!
We are forever grateful to Julia Testa and her team for creating florals beyond our wildest dreams at our wedding, so much so that guests are still mentioning them months after. Julia is a master of her craft- she works hard to understand what you have in mind and creates pure ART that is even better than what you pictured! When my planning first began, I must have spoken to 20+ florists and it was looking quite grim. Within 2 minutes of chatting with Julia, I felt her passion for her work, enthusiasm, knowledge, and positive energy and I knew she was the one :) A weight was lifted off my shoulders.
Julia just gets it all done and requires little follow-up. In the weeks leading up to my wedding and on my wedding day, Julia handled her part in our wedding with ease. I had no worry or hesitation with her at any point even though we had substantial florals and a large hanging installation. As a bride, you have enough on your plate and the less to worry about the better. Julia is someone you can place your full confidence in. I did, and not only was everything smooth sailing- my florals were absolutely insanely beautiful.
Julia Testa has now done two weddings for my immediate family over the past year and we are all so, SO grateful to her. I can't wait for our next event Julia will undoubtedly be a part of and I can not recommend her enough.
We used Julia Testa for our wedding and I wish I could give her a higher review than just 5 stars. Her product and execution is incredible, she is an absolute delight to work with. Most importantly, she is flexible, accommodating and willing to take as much time as it needs to work with you so you feel comfortable and happy. I couldn’t be happier that we found Julia Testa, I honestly feel so lucky that we did. She transformed the venue into something I never could have imagined. Thank you Julia and team for being nothing but an absolute pleasure.
Julia & her team did an amazing job at our wedding! The flowers were exactly as I envisioned. As a visual person, they sent me mood board so I knew exactly what things would look like...it was a HUGE help! They were truly a crucial part of our big day! Would highly recommend using them for a wedding or any other celebration.
Julia Testa did an amazing job for our wedding! They were patient with us as we had numerous calls before the big day to understand the layout of our space and gave us great suggestions to stay within our budget and still look absolutely amazing the day of!
Our Wedding was the moat magical day and Julia Testa and team played a huge role in the day. The flowers were truly beautiful and created exactly as I had imagined. We enjoyed the flowers for days to come! Thank you Julia Testa and team!
Fairy Tales really do come true! I had my wedding ceremony/reception at 620 Loft & Garden which is a blank event space. Julia Testa, Christine, and the rest of the wedding team helped make my dreams a reality. The only descriptions I had of what I was looking for were "pastels" "orchids" "modern? I think" It takes a true floral master to turn those few words into the landscape of cascading greenery and white orchids for tablescape/center pieces, bountiful arch full of pink roses, white rose petals for an aisle, acrylic crystals and pastel flowers adorning the long space... The list goes on. Every person at that wedding was floored by the pure beauty of flowers that enhanced the already beautiful NYC skyline. We absolutely cannot wait to use them at our next event!
I can’t say enough good things about Christine and the entire wedding department at Julia Testa! I had been emailing with Christine for MONTHS during covid discussing florals for my wedding and throughout the entire process she was so kind and patient with me. I am a very indecisive person, so she had to make a handful of changes to the original proposal, but she made sure everything turned out perfectly for me! We finally had our wedding October 2021 and the flowers were absolutely gorgeous! My bouquet was beautiful and I had guests coming up to me at the reception to tell me how beautiful our centerpieces were! Thank you SO much Christine and Julia Testa! You helped make our wedding day perfect!
Julia Testa was amazing! They were so helpful and thoughtful in helping me pick the best flowers for my wedding day and everything turned out totally flawless. Everything looked beautiful and they were so easy to work with! I highly recommend them.
Thank you Julia Testa and your magnificent design team for providing us beautiful, one of a kind bouquets for our wedding. Your attention to detail made our day extra special! The quality of your flowers are unmatched. After the wedding, I dried my bouquet and my husband’s boutonnière and they still look stunning! Sincere thanks from a very happy couple!
There are florists and then there are florists who are true artists. Julia Testa, and Christine, are experts at what they do, and the flowers they provide are GORGEOUS. I could tell right away that they just "got it." They truly care, and I can't wait for many more events together.
I could not have been happier with Julia and her team! They were a pleasure to work with and super accommodating after we had to postpone our wedding by a full year due to the pandemic. I ended up changing my whole vision after that, and Julia and her team were willing to work with me and redo my whole proposal. I loved how everything came out, from the bouquets to the centerpieces, and everything was delivered on time and was set up perfectly!
We worked with Julia Testa for our wedding, and couldn't have been more pleased with how everything came out! I had a clear vision for how I wanted everything to look--minimalist while using flowers inspired by what you might find at a farmer's market. We had the great pleasure of working with Christine, who made all of my ikebana dreams come true. I would work with JT again in a heart beat, and highly recommend them!
We worked with Julia Testa and Christine on our summer wedding florals and were so impressed! Julia’s team was flexible when we had to push our wedding back a year because of COVID, and we kicked off planning again earlier this year. The flowers were so beautiful and Julia’s team really helped bring my vision featuring garden florals to life. The result was both outstanding and picturesque.
Julia and her team took my wedding to the next level! Nothing I write can adequately explain the beauty of her work and how incredibly grateful I am to her for her professionalism throughout the pandemic. Our guests raved about the florals from the time they arrived and are still talking about the wedding flowers two months later. I had seen drawings of Julia's vision for the floral arch and chandelier for the ceremony, but the reality was beyond anything I could have imagined. The flowers for cocktail hour and the reception made for a romantic, colorful vision which contrasted perfectly with the rustic surroundings of our venue. On top of this, Julia stuck with us throughout the pandemic, after our wedding had to be postponed because NYC shut down the week before our scheduled date. We changed dates two more times. Each time, Julia reassured me she was there for me. Her professionalism, vision, and sensitivity cannot be overstated! If you choose Julia and her team for your florals, I recommend being open and flexible and trusting Julia because she knows her stuff!
If you have the opportunity to book Julia Testa for your wedding flowers, then DO IT!
My overall wedding planning experience was an absolute nightmare due to Covid - we switched our venue 3 times, with the last venue change being approx. 8 weeks before our wedding date where we had to start from scratch. I reached out to the Julia Testa team and to my luck they were available. We quickly arranged a phone call with Julia and Christine and from that point on, I knew I was in good hands and that they were the team I wanted to book.
Not only were Christine & team easy to work and communicate with in what was an incredibly stressful & challenging time for my husband and I, but they are just so so talented and can create pretty much any vision you'd like. We provided the team with a mood board and Christine then took it from there! I get compliments to this day on our florals and I am convinced they made the venue. It truly felt like a Tuscany dream in NYC.
I really cannot put into words how gorgeous my wedding florals were and now only have pictures to stare at, but cannot recommend Julia Testa enough and would trust them 10x over with any future event needs. I promise if you book them you absolutely will not regret it!
Highly recommend Julia Testa! The flowers were stunning. The business is trustworthy and organized. They create a unique and creative vibe. Your flowers will be unlike any other due to their exceptional style.
Julia and her team created an exquisite bouquet, boutonniere, and flower collar for our dog. I shared some suggestions on what I was looking for, and they created it perfectly. Their delivery service was on time, and helped take any stress out of our special day. All the flowers were at peak bloom and the arrangement was just stunning. Would highly recommend!
I hired Julia and co. for my wedding in March '21. Julia, Christine, and the rest of her team were incredible to work with, truly. From the get-go, Julia was so helpful and calming (I referred to her in my wedding toast as part-florist part-therapist at one point). They envisioned the most unique, gorgeous flowers. They were lovely to work with (responsive, professional, etc.). Their prices were spot-on. And they did it all for me in about three weeks, which is incredible!
Would highly, highly recommend.
After postponing our May 2020 wedding, my now-husband and I decided to have a small ceremony in December with just immediate family. I contacted Julia Testa about two weeks prior to the ceremony for a bridal bouquet, and they were so accomodating and organized from day one. I emailed a photo of a bouquet I loved with a list of flowers and spoke with their wedding director on the phone. The stunning bouquet, exactly as how I imagined, was delivered the morning of our ceremony in a very practical tote bag. Highly recommend for "mini-monies", or really any of your floral needs! Instagram is helpful for checking out their amazing work. I will definitely be returning.
As has been 2020, plans have had to shift & with that our original wedding plans were vastly changed. We decided to have an intimate wedding in NYC and were keeping it simple, one thing I wasn't willing to skimp on however was my bouquet & Julia did NOT disappoint! I found them by searching hashtags all over instagram and I'm so glad I did. From the initial phone call with Julia to our sample meeting at their shop in SoHo, every step of the way I knew the team at JT were listening to what I wanted. From my pinterest mood-board to all the items they pulled for the meeting, I knew the bouquet was going to be a knockout and it was! I've received countless compliments about it for it's uniqueness, size, style, and just overall being something no one has ever seen before. I absolutely LOVED IT! When the flowers died I was so sad about it and for context, I'm not a flower person I prefer plants. Can't recommend the team at Julia Testa enough!
If I could, I would give Julia Testa six stars! We asked her to do the florals for our microwedding because we had received lovely bouquets from her retail store in SoHo. She and her team did an incredible job. I had only a general idea of what I wanted in terms of colors and style; Julia worked with me to pick out the particular flowers and was responsive to my feedback. And she put together the perfect bouquet, even better than what I had imagined. She and her team decorated our rooftop for our two-person dinner with lights, florals, and candles. It was magical -- absolutely perfect. I wish The Knot would let me post a photo because I won't be able do it justice. Moreover, it ended up being less expensive than I expected. We will definitely use Julia Testa again for other events. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Julia Testa and her team were incredible. She listened intently to my ideas and with her one of a kind touch, brought my vision to life - which far exceeded my expectations. Her flowers are divine and her attention to detail is bar none. Julia and her team - with her flowers and more - helped to transform my backyard and home into thw beautiful wedding I had always dreamed of.
Julia Testa is the best! We gave Julia virtually no time to plan and we requested a unique design and provided limited details- and she beyond surpassed our expectations! Julia and her team are outstanding. We highly recommend her!
My flowers were absolutely beautiful and encompassed everything I envisioned! From the beginning, every encounter was great. I sent a few sample images of what I wanted and they knew, immediately, what needed to be done. They are very responsive, professional and creative, which was important, as I had only a few weeks to prepare for my wedding.
Julia Testa created absolutely beautiful ceremony and personal flowers for my micro-wedding in October 2020!!! The whole process of working with Julia Testa was seamless (they even consulted with me via Facetime!) and they truly understood my aesthetic. The flowers were delivered on-time and the blooms were gorgeous and fresh. Highly recommended!
Julia and the entire wedding department (Hey Christine!) took my vision on florals for my wedding, perfected it, and brought it to life, making my wedding flowers even more gorgeous than I ever thought possible. From our first phone call, Julia made me feel so comfortable and provided excellent guidance whenever I had questions. Her knowledge on florals is unmatched, and she seemed so excited to bring my vision to life. I received floral design renderings within a week of our first phone call. Julia was always very honest with me, especially when it came to which flowers were in season and whether or not they were in par with my budget. She knew exactly which flower was a priority for me and she made it happen, and for that I am forever grateful! Due to COVID-19, many last minute changes were made. Julia and her team were very receptive to any changes and made all of them happen. On my wedding day, set up and take down was seamless. I can't begin to describe how happy my tall lifted arrangements made me feel as I walked into my reception. The interlocking rings installation behind my sweetheart table was an absolute sight to see and it is difficult to put into words how stunning every thing came together. I was a confident bride, much due to the amazing florals surrounding me on my big day. Choose Julia and her team for your wedding and I promise you your floral dreams will come true!!!
Great flowers, everything came together perfectly. Highly highly recommended!!!!’
Christine from Julia Testa was so so kind and understanding! We last minute decided to have a classic micro wedding in Brooklyn after cancelling our destination wedding. Everything so gorgeous and Christine was able to pull together the most perfect florals that were just my style - whimsical, romantic and colorful. She also helped my mother-in-law with the florals for a bridal lunch and rehearsal dinner. Christine knew exactly the vibe I was going for even though I couldn’t always describe it. I am forever grateful to her and Julia for helping us have an even mire magical day than what we originally planned.
The flower arrangements by Julia Testa team was extremely pretty, far and above what we had imagined. We were amazed by the quality and the beauty of the flowers and how well they were put together. It brought exceptional beauty to our wedding day and made it truly memorable. Professional, prompt and responsive. Highly recommended.
Christine, the wedding director at Julia Testa was so helpful for our "microwedding" arrangements. When the piece the team created for my hair (a comb with roses and peonies) was too large to fit in my hair, she came to our hotel room in person to design something new ON THE SPOT...only about 20 minutes before the ceremony began! The flowers were gorgeous and smelled incredible. They lasted all day and still looked beautiful about 5 days later despite the heat in humidity in NYC.
We worked with Christine at Julia Testa for our wedding in February 2020 and everything came out beautiful! We got floral arrangements for the ceremony, 19 centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres. Christine was honest about prices for certain flowers and decor, and was able to get other flowers/arrangements that fit our color scheme to fit our budget without any difficulty. She was so easy to work with and answered all of my last minute emails and phone calls. I look forward to working with Christine for future events!
Julia Testa did an amazing job on our wedding! We were blown away when we walked into the rooms! Christine was professional and the BEST. We recommend them to everyone.. Thank you for making our day something we will never forget!!
The Julia Testa crew was amazing. We mainly worked with Christine & she was incredibly knowledgeable & responsive throughout the entire process. She made sure to schedule a final check-in call a couple of weeks before the wedding just to double check that we were on the same page as when we originally chose everything a few months prior. I loved that attention to detail. The team did an amazing job overall but especially with our ceremony space, it was honestly perfect.
Beautiful flowers, professional service - they were great to work with.
This florist did an UNBELIEVABLE job for our wedding. We needed a large photo to somehow be covered up as it was the focal point at our ceremony. They used beautiful floral and greenery to mask the photo and it truly made our wedding so much more beautiful! It was so much more gorgeous and we could have imagined. The staff there was lovely to work with. Would absolutely recommend.
Julia and her crew were absolutely lovely to work with. I knew I wanted to reach out to her for our wedding flowers after buying her arrangements for my now wife on an almost weekly basis. Julia was definitely up to the task. She listened and helped create just what we were looking for happen. I highly recommend her. Which reminds me, I need to buy my wife flowers on Friday!
