Nicole at Starbright gave us excellent advice and created perfect designs for us. She made sure all the colors and types of flowers worked well together. Being from Texas she suggested yellow roses which all of our guests thought was a very nice touch.

Tom at Starbright was a doll. Loved every minute working with him. I was very ignorant about flowers and decor and wanted to be as simple and non-tacky as possible. He had wonderful suggestions and even wanted to see a picture of my dress so he could get a feel for my style. He knew the venue which helped a lot as well. I highly recommend him.

I went to Starbright to order my wedding bouquet and bouquet for my bridesmaid (3 days before the wedding date) based on the advice of our hotel concierge at the Bryant Park Hotel. They worked based on the budget I gave them (which was not too high) and the result was bluffing! My wedding bouquet was perfect pink peonies, just as I asked and the ones of my bridesmaids were white peonies. Everyone loved them and complimented me a lot on the flowers. They delivered on the day of the wedding at the hotel. I was completely happy with their services and would recommend them!

Starbright Floral Design was amazing from the beginning to the end mainly because of Tom, the creative director there. He was awesome. My husband and I found him so easy to work with. He was incredibly friendly and had the best recommendations. He was never pushy. Everything was delivered on time the day of the wedding, and it all looked perfect. Tom even took the extra time to stay behind the scenes to help remove the flowers from the chapel and to place them in the reception area in order for us to save money on the flowers. When working with Tom, I felt like he wanted to the best for my wedding and was completely willing to optimize my budget which was somewhat limited. He really took the time to meet with me in order to get an idea of what I wanted, and then came up with a solution to fit both my aesthetic and monetary needs.

I chose Starbright Floral Design to create the bouquets and centerpieces at my wedding on June 2, and they did an amazing job! Never have I seen such beautiful flowers -- being surrounded by them made my big day even more special. Nicole was a pleasure to work with. We met several times to discuss the style of the wedding and how the flowers would fit in to that vision. She always responded quickly to my emails and was as sweet as can be. I was a budget conscious bride and Starbright took that into consideration, making sure we stayed within the guidelines I provided. In the end, I received very high quality flowers for a reasonable price and so many compliments from my guests, too!

At our very first meeting with Tom, we knew he was the florist we wanted for our wedding. Tom was extremely personable, as if we had been facebook friends for years and yet at the same time a true professional. We had not been one of those Bride and Groom couples who knew what they wanted. On the contrary, we met Tom holding only about 3 pictures we had seen on the internet. He quickly grabbed his pencil and started a mock-up of what he saw for us. Modern, clean, elegant and vibrant was how he would transform our ideas into a reality! Tom was able to bring life to our ceremony with such gorgeous bouquets (people are still talking about them) and with the candle pillars that lined the aisle, making the room glow. Tom certainly delivered exactly what we had discussed. The floral arrangements for the reception were equally as stunning. Tom used his creative expertise to take our ideas steps further to create table arrangements that were truly spectacular. I was overwhelmed with guests praising the center pieces and the ceremony space. Working with Tom was a pleasure, and there is no doubt we will work together in the future! Our wedding was truly taken to a level I never imagined. If you are planning an event, there is no other options than Tom at Starbright Floral Design. I cannot praise this man and this company enough. Thank you Tom! Wedding venue: Bridgewaters, NYC Date: September 16, 2011

My husband and I cannot say enough nice things about Starbright Floral Design! Tom, in particular, was a pleasure to work with -- always high energy with great creative ideas and a willingness to work within our budget. Going into our first meeting, we had no idea what we were looking for. Tom patiently showed us pictures and asked us insightful questions that helped us figure out what would work best with our wedding theme. And on the wedding day, we didn't have to worry about the flowers at all. Starbright arrived promptly and set up the flowers without a hitch. Everything, from my bouquet to the centerpieces, was beautiful and exceeded expectation. Overall, we had a great experience with Tom and Starbright and would wholeheartedly recommend them for a wedding.

I cannot say enough good things about Starbright Floral Design, they were a fantastic company to work with. I was worried about organising my flowers as I didnt have a clear idea of what I wanted and being from Scotland I was not able to discuss it face to face. However, I didnt need to worry as Nic from Starbright was so helpful, friendly and flexible. We corresponded regularly via email and he always responded promptly. I put my faith in him to be able to create my wedding bouquets from my vague description and I was not disapointed. The bouquets were gorgeous and perfect for the style of my wedding. I would have no hesitation in reccommending Starbright Floral Design for wedding flowers.

I cannot say enough great things about Tom and Starbright. Not only were my flowers BEAUTIFUL, but Tom was such a pleasure to work with. He was flexible and accommodating to last minute changes, he was always excited and personable about my wedding, and everything he did turned out beautifully.

Tom is a lovely person and his arrangements looked absolutely amazing; really beautiful square vases of exotics and spring flowers. They cost something like $32 apiece, a wonderful value, and were enough to fill a cocktail reception with great splashy color without being obtrusive. This florist's website pretty much testifies to their abilities...they have great style and great taste without ripping you off.

Starbright were the second florist I visited during the process of identifying a florist for our wedding and I am so very pleased I did. I had visited the first florist with my thoughts for the wedding flowers, hoping for some direction based on their experience, not expecting to be told that I could not have the purple flowers I really wanted (I didn’t have specific flowers in mind, simply purple). When I mentioned this experience to Tom Sebenius at Starbright he thought I was joking. He told me he would certainly work with me to get purple flowers at my wedding and was friendly and not at all over-imposing. I spent some time with Tom running through the ideas and photos I had and what I loved most about Tom’s approach was that he took my ideas and made them even better. His experience as a florist came through for me and he developed ideas I hadn’t thought of and instead of being told I could not have purple flowers, I was being presented with multiple options for lovely arrangements and bouquets. Tom really listened to me and didn’t make me feel like my ideas were wrong - he truly built on them and brought an element to my wedding I could not have done on my own. When the flowers arrived on the wedding day I was not disappointed - they were absolutely wonderful, Starbright had gone above and beyond and delivered fresh, perfectly arranged flowers for the wedding. The church pew flowers were delightful - I couldn’t believe that Tom had managed to put my idea into reality. The flowers at the alter were truly beautiful. During the ceremony my husband to be turned to me and told me that the flowers were beautiful - coming from someone who doesn’t usually comment on flowers this was great to hear and had me beaming from ear to ear with a smile. My bouquet was constructed beautifully and when I saw my flower girl’s bouquet it brought me to tears. Tom’s idea for the bridesmaids bouquets to be all colours of purple worked a treat against their dark plum dresses and the button holes and corsages were truly lovely. Tom worked with me on price and I found his prices to be extremely reasonable - and cheaper than the first florist who refused to work with purple! I can tell Tom truly takes pleasure in delivering the very best for his brides and I thank him and his team for all their efforts in making our wedding flowers so very beautiful.

I worked with George from Starbright, and it a great experience. He was extremely attentive, conscious of my budget and delivered exactly what I was looking for. The arrangements the day of were 10x better than I ever expected. They added a couple extra touches that I wasn't expecting and they just looked amazing! George was also incredibly patient as I went through various ideas and added things in fairly last minute. I would definitely recommend Starbright to any bride. They did a great job.

I have only good things to say about Starbright. I had the good luck to work with Tom Sebenius and he is WONDERFUL. Not only did he bring my vision to life and made it 10 times better. My wedding centerpieces turned out so elegant and beautiful that my wedding guests were fighting to take them home at the end of the night. Tom is talented, attentive, patient and extremely kind. I highly recommend him as he really came through for my big day.

Tom Sebenius @ Starbright has been the best vendor to deal with for this wedding. He was extremely patient with my all the changes I put through throughout the process. He provided valuable ideas and the quality of flowers were impeccable. I have been recommending Starbright to all my friends even before the wedding occurred. Their pricing is extremely flexible considering the shop is in the city. You will not dissappoint going with Starbright.

I am thrilled to recommend Starbright Floral Design and want to thank them for their professionalism, creativity and quality of service. Tom Sebenius, the creative designer, was able to turn a spacious atrium into an intimate beautiful reception area. He brought my color choice and vision for the evening to life and the end result was so elegant and special. I received so many complements on the bridal party flowers, ceremony flowers and reception flowers and I think Starbright went above and beyond in creating an evening I will never forget. I encourage every bride to check out Starbright and speak with Tom!

It is hard to write this review, as I always hate to say negative things, but I was really disappointed with this vendor. When we first met "M" from Starflor it was awesome, we had a great time with her picking out flowers and she had great ideas. So we crossed flowers off the the "To Do" list early. And were thrilled to have found them! A few months before the wedding we got back in touch and it took a few emails to get a response, which was not a big deal. We made a few additions and adjustments and were told, no problem they'll get done. Great! We felt good! Well...unfortunately two days before the wedding "M" would not return emails or phone calls from me, my then fiance or our day of coordinator. We were ready to scramble and look for something else on the fly..it was a little scary. Finally, we get a call and are told everything is on schedule....well, I wish it had been. There were several large bouquets from the ceremony missing, lights that we ordered and paid for where to be on the outside of the building stairs were missing, and flowers/candles were ordered to be floating in an antique bathtub at the reception were not there (just some water in a bathtub...ugh.). Now, none of this was a huge deal, and our guests didn't seem to notice (although I did get a few comments on the bathtub). But it was the fact that we paid for all of these items and depended upon Starflor to make sure they were there and set up. And unfortunately that is where they fell flat. I loved working with M in the beginning and it was a shame that when we really needed her to come through we felt deserted. So that is why I can't give them a raving review.
