11/12/2008 Hi Arlene, I just wanted to thank you and Aubert so much for a spectacular job. The flowers were more than I could have ever expected, the girls bouquets, the centerpieces, just everything was perfect! In addition, you were a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend you ( I have a bunch of friends getting married in '09). Thank you again for helping to make our wedding such a special and memorable night. Vanessa and Michael

11/4/2008 Hi Arlene, I just want to tell you and Aubert thank you for a beautiful room. I got so many compliments and I know that Middle Bay was quite impressed with your work so you should be hearing from them again. They loved the fabric draping around the dance floor. Everyone loved the tables, especially the chandalier centerpiece. Again, thanks for all of your work. I hope you got to see a picture of the room and how great it came out in the end.Gail ***************************************** 10/27/2008
Aubert & Arlene: Thank you so much for the beautiful set up at the Boathouse. It was exactly the way we had envisioned our wedding to be. We received so many compliments from our guests and "elegant" was the top adjective used to describe the wedding. The flowers were just gorgeous and we were extremely pleased. Aubert, you are always so warm and kind whenever we see you. You have the ability to put anyone at ease! We are excited to see pictures and the video which will capture all of the details that you had put in and they will last a lifetime. Thanks again and wishing you all the best and continued success... Lila and Eitan Benayoun ****************************************** 10/19/2008 Dear Arlene, I just wanted to thank you and Aubert for the absolutely beautiful flowers on Friday for our wedding. The bouquets were perfect, and both Mark and I were stunned when we walked into the Boathouse and saw all of the amazing centerpieces. I am so, so happy we went with the centerpieces after all.... they made the whole space such a magical setting. Again, thank you so much for making our day that much more special. It was simply perfect. With best regards,
Aurelie ********************************************************************** 10/13/2008 Dear Arleen and Aubert,
The last of my company from the wedding left for the airport on Friday, so I am finally getting to sit down to write to everyone, and you are at the top of my list. Thank you so much for all you and your staff did to make Corrie and Jim's wedding absolutely perfect! So many of my guests came up to me that night and called the following day to tell me how much they enjoyed themselves and how beautiful everything looked.
All of my friends who have had weddings, recounted their horror stories of things that went wrong for them. However, reflecting back, I can't think of even one. Everything looked spectacular and went exactly as planned. I couldn't have asked for more. You and your staff went above and beyond, and it was so greatly appreciated. The mere words, thank you, seem so inadequate to describe my gratitude.
It was such a delight working with you, and I truly hope you will keep in touch. If there is anything I can do for you to help you have the same experience when your son marries, I sincerely hope that you will call and ask, as it would be my pleasure.
I wish you all the best, and thank you again.
Fondly,
Chris

I was going to write you this note sooner after Gabriela's Bat Mitzvah party. I wanted to say thank you so much for made such beautiful candy theme centerpieces! The party room looked great and beautiful.
Everyone at the party told us that they thought the centepieces were awesome!. Gaby and I love the centerpieces. She wanted to keep it all.
So we brought it home and and decorate in my house basement.
Thank you so much for the beautiful centerpieces you did for my two children's parties. I look forward to having you again for future parties. I will keep in touch with you. Thanks again!

I just wanted to thank you for the amazing and beautiful job you did on the flowers at my August 29 wedding at the Carltun. Jason and I and my parents were mesmerized by how beautiful the draping looked on the ceiling and the flower in the middle with the tea lights. You had made every single change that we discussed and everything was very elegant. I got a ton of compliments on the flowers that night and have passed your name along to some of my friends who are engaged. The flowers were definitely very full and I will always remember how beautiful they were.
Thank you again for everything and we will be in touch and thank you for your patience with my mom and I. I also thanked the Grober's for passing us along your name.

Dear Arlene,
Just a short note to tell you how amazing everything was. There is nothing more to say than that it was amazing. From the moment they walked in the door everyone was blow away by the flowers. The single biggest comment from everyone, "THE FLOWERS, OH MY GOD!!!"
You went above and beyond for us and I wanted you to know how much we appreciated all your very hard work. My most favorite thing was the altar you created. We told you our vision and you brought it to life for us.
The flowers in the library were probably the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen, the lavender roses, just breath taking. The ballroom, too much. You took a huge space and made it cozy, how did you do that and that carpeting I hated? Who looked down?? There was no reason to look anywhere but up. Bravo you are the best.
Please give my number to ANYONE who wants to talk to a person who is not related to you, is not personal friend or someone you have ever met in your life (I am always skeptical when I get a number to call for a recommendation thinking it is a set up) Thank you, thank you, thank you for making the most special day of my life even more beautiful. I will send you pictures of the girls and my bride with their flowers (oh I forgot the bouquets sooo perfect with the dresses and all you, and the crown for the flower girl!!! I am now crying just remembering all the details, cannot wait to see the pictures just to get another look at the flowers)
And the flowers, although it kills me to think they were all just thrown away the next day, will live forever in the pictures and video that we will all be viewing for years to com
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I also forgot to mention what it pleasure it was to have someone like you to work with, someone who does this "wedding thing" for a job and who was such a calming, confident advisor.
There was no stone left unturned by you, if we were headed in a wrong direction (for example, thinking we did not need table toppers, without them it would have been so plain) you calmly suggested we rethink something, just wonderful.
Ok, I have gone on long enough, my short note turned into a letter but I just needed you to know you made our wedding the beautiful, memorable event it was for us all.

Thank you again for your floral arrangement at the Central Park Boathouse for the wedding of Aggie Postman. It was a pleasure dealing with you. You made it very easy for us.
We received a lot of compliments on the Dogwood centerpieces. People loved the hanging candles, too.
Sincerely,
Susan & Jeff Postman ********************************************************************************************************** May 19, 2008 Dear Aubert:
Last Friday's LIA 25th Anniversary Awards Gala would not have been as special as it was without your beautiful centerpieces and floral arrangements. Both the cocktail Reception and the Dining Room looked wonderful. The Dining Room centerpieces with the lighting gave the room a beautiful look and ambiance. The napkins with the orchid on the dinner tables looked very elegant. We received many compliments form our guest on how special everything looked. We thank you and your staff for getting everything done on time and for making the evening a visual delight.
We hope you and Arlene enjoyed the evening and have wonderful summer.
Warmest personal regards.
Sincerely,

The flowers were amazing and Fleurs de Florissima did a flawless presentation !!!!
As you know, it rained throughout the day and evening on Friday, which actually added to the intimacy of our event. The flowers provided a magical secret-garden aura and set the tone for a truly memorable celebration.
At the end of the month, when Tori returns from their honeymoon she definitely plans to write glowing comments on "The Knot" website about Fleurs de Florissima - the outstanding service and product you provide for your clients.
Thank you,
Barbara

Dear Arlene and Aubert:
I do not know where to being in thanking you for another outstanding job at the Ball on April 12, 2008. You transformed the Ballroom at The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester into a lovely venue. I know it was a difficult task but as usual, you exceeded your great talents.
Every year I think how we can top the year before but we always seem to do so. I really could not do it without the support of all the people around that are there for Boys' Towns of Italy and me. Your staff are so professional and talented, please thank them for a job well done.
Thank you a thousand times! I have enclosed a picture thought you would enjoy.
Sincerely
Grace M. Iannuzzi

Just wanted to jot you a quick note to thank you for the great job you did on the flowers for the wedding. I thought they were absolutely gorgeous and really exceeded my expectations. From the bouquets to the centerpieces they really couldn't have been better. Also, I really appreciated the calls you gave me the day of for piece of mind that everything was under control.
Thanks again for making my big day look so good!
Happy New Year,
Sara ************************************************************************************ January 6, 2008 Hi Arlene and Aubert,
Sorry this took so long to send - we actually wanted to call you right after the wedding but Steph and Scott left on their honeymoon to Australia for 3 weeks and I've been busy trying to finish up our apartment renovation in NYC and work in between!!!
We can't thank you enough for the amazingly BEAUTIFUL job you did for us!!! The flowers were magnificent - I don't think the Boathouse could ever have looked more beautiful - the transformation you maneuvered was astonishing!! We had never been to an event there (other than lunch and dinners) and were not quite sure how different it could look for a wedding - boy were we overwhelmed!! Everyone has called and asked who did the flowers, so your ears should have been 'burning'!! I've given your name out to many people, and I hope they call. It was everything we could have ever wanted for our daughter's wedding!!!
It was wonderful working with both of you (which of course helped to make it so special) and of course meeting Aubert - I'm only sorry we never got a chance to meet Arlene. Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy new year.
All our best,
Michele, Marshall, Stephanie and Scott. ************************************************************************************ January 4, 2008 Arlene- Mom beat me to it! Great applause from the bride as well… Everything was absolutely wonderful and best of all I didn’t have to think once during the evening! Carlos and Lloyd are fabulous and a pleasure. We missed seeing you there, but felt your presence thorugh the professionalism and kindness of your staff… Hope your vacation was fabulous and HAPPY NEW YEAR (pretend it is a gobo).
