OUR STORY

Award winning wedding florist, Cress Floral Decorators can trace its passion for floral design back for more than a century. The family business began in 1903 with owner Tom Cress' grandfather selling flowers from a simple pushcart on streets of Manhattan.

From that single flower stand, the Cress family expanded their offerings from everyday flowers to a full-service Wedding Florist and Event Company. In addition to providing stunning bridal bouquets, spectacular centerpieces, and custom ceremony installations, such as chuppahs, arches and mandaps, Cress Floral Decorators will complete your wedding vision with beautiful linens, draping and lighting decor as well!

The owners, Lori and Tom, take the time to understand your journey as a couple - and your floral vision - and will reflect that in your overall wedding story. They will guide and advise you with the colors you choose, the feelings you evoke, and the mood you want to set. These will form the memories of your special day for years to come. Whether your aesthetic is classic, romantic, organic, whimsical, or super over the top, Lori and Tom and their amazing crew will create the wedding you have always dreamed of.

Lori, a FIT alum and former Fashion Industry designer, and Tom who was born into the floral business, combine their skills and experience to apply the fundamentals of color, shape, and design to your wedding décor.

Cress Floral maintains their impeccable reputation with premium quality wedding flowers and super-personalized wedding styling and services. For 11 consecutive years, Cress Floral Decorators has received awards from The Knot and Wedding Wire. Cress Floral has also been inducted into The Knot Hall of Fame. They are especially proud to have won the Award from New York Wedding’s 2019 Wedding Florist of the Year!
