Atlas Floral Decorators

Wade Bernesby and Ryan Atlas did the MOST amazing job for my twins B;nai Mitzvah. I really appreciate their patience and their efforts. The flowers were beautiful and the venue décor was fantastic. The Light up sign they made me was perfect. I thought they were very fairly priced and did over and above what I was expecting. They paid close attention to every last detail that we had discussed. I can not recommend them highly enough!!! Wade is such a patient gentleman and Ryan delivered! Look no further. If they can make me happy beyond my wildest dreams they can do the same for you too!

I worked with Jeannie, and she was nothing short of fantastic. She is a wonderful person to work with, and her work is just simply GORGEOUS. If you don’t believe me, ask my photographer, caterer, or any other vendor with expertise… they all raved about her work during and after the event. The chuppah she designed for our wedding was nothing short of spectacular, as were all of the flower arrangements and decorations. From day one, I knew I was in good hands, and did not stress once about our decorations. Jeannie even offered to, for no cost, do some work with our wedding favors to make them look more like favors and less like candles just sitting on the table. She went above and beyond. I recommend Atlas wholeheartedly.

Wade Bernesby of Atlas Floral Decorators created a spectacular floral design for our wedding. From the Chuppah to the main dining room; from magnificent arrangements for the bride and her bridesmaids, their artistry told a warm, sophisticated and elegant story. Their exquisite attention to detail followed our vision and gave us a gorgeous wedding to remember for many years to come.

We had a great experience with Atlas Floral, specifically with Kiriba. He was very creative and helpful throughout the process. I was planning my wedding in New York from California, and Kiriba was always available when we were in town to meet with us. He did an absolutely beautiful job, and we were thrilled with how everything looked. Our Chuppah was incredible!
I highly recommend the floating candles from the ceiling! Our wedding looked like it was under the stars.

Review written by my HUSBAND :)
Okay my first disclaimer is that I am the groom. If someone had told me before my wedding that I would have wanted to write the review for our florist I would have laughed in their face. The only thing I know about flowers is that I don’t buy my wife enough. But all that changed after working with the Atlases who were a complete joy from start to finish and dare i say it made flowers fun and interesting to me. I am going break this review down into the three P’s — People, Process and Product.
People — I don’t know how long Atlas have been doing flowers but the enthusiasm they have for our wedding knew no bounds and both my wife and I couldn’t believe how invested they seemed in our big day. They were all about getting to know us as a couple and tailoring something that reflected who we are. Without naming names we met with other florists to to whom we felt like just another engaged couple and their «one size fits all» ethos was a world away from Atlas’. Wade made choosing the flowers a pleasure, he was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, creative and patient!
Process — Seamless. From the first meeting to final payment Atlas were so helpful and understanding. Once they were booked we didn’t have to worry about a thing, their customer service leading up to and especially on the day was exceptional. Initially we didn’t have any clear concept of what we wanted but Wade worked with us and helped us come up with a theme and style of flowers that was so perfect it was like he knew our wedding better than us. Also I really appreciated their honesty, they would outline all our options and costs but advise us because of our venue that they didn’t think we needed. They simply didn’t push anything on us that they thought either we didn’t need or was outside of our budget. Again this is not necessarily the norm with wedding vendors.
Product — To be honest this is really what I want people to know about. All I can say is from the buttonholes (boutonnière) through to the bouquet and centrepieces they were simply STUNNING. I went from never noticing flowers to gawping with my mouth open at ours. I never realized how important flowers are at a wedding and how they can elevate one. The finished product was simply sensational. We had three venues within the same building and each one was dressed beautifully. I can’t believe what they achieved while sticking to our budget. I still don;t know much about flowers, but I now know what and more importantly WHO I like. Do yourself a favor, look no further, you have found your florist, book Atlas now and know you’ve made the best choice.

I worked with Jeannie at Atlas and she did an amazing job with the decorations for both my wedding and reception. Jeannie is extremely creative and came up with unique ideas to make our event special. We received and continue to receive many compliments about the décor. The flowers that were used were absolutely beautiful.
I had met with several decorators in the NY/​NJ area before proceeding with Atlas. The one thing I really liked about them is that they do all of their flower arrangements on site (instead of transporting them to the venue pre-​arranged — which can cause the decorations to look messy by the time they are set up). It also allows for some flexibility in altering the arrangements, if need be, at the last minute.
I met in person and spoke with Jeannie multiple times to review every single detail. She even came to a walk-​through of both our venues, so that we could decide where everything would be set up. Jeannie is a perfectionist and you cannot go wrong with choosing Atlas. Looking back at pictures from our wedding now, we are so glad that we chose this vendor — it was definitely one of the best decisions we made.

We worked with Kiriba at Atlas and were very pleased. He is a brilliant artist. With that, he has his own vision but he also listens to what you want and works with you. If you are completely into micromanaging (ie — «I want my bouquet to have 3 peonies, 6 roses, etc.») this might not be the best for you — there is a certain amount of trust at Kiriba’s artistry involved in the process. Our flowers ended up exceeding our expectations. I had shown Kiraba many pictures of bouquets that I liked and he made something similar but even MORE beautiful than any of them! The bouquets for me and my bridesmaids were large and stunning. The church flowers were also huge, gorgeous arrangements — my husband kept saying «I can’t believe I’m even noticing the flowers, but these are so fantastic.» The reception centerpieces were likewise gorgeous. The flowers definitely contributed to a magical evening. I would highly recommend Kiriba at Atlas if you want stunning flowers.

Some of their work is indisputably beautiful. But when you are working with someone on your wedding flowers (and paying nearly $ 40K to boot), it isn’t just about the result. It is about the process. I don’t care how great the end-​product turns out to be, if getting it out of someone is going to be a miserable experience, I’d rather not. There are plenty of people in the city (OK, maybe «plenty» is an exaggeration) who do as great of a job with a much better attitude (Belle Fleur and Bowman Dahl both come to mind).
Maybe I ran into Atlas on the wrong few occasions … everyone else seems to have had a great experience with them. But I would rather not have wedding flowers than work with someone at this place.

My daughter’s wedding was just last weekend, and we have only incredible things to say about Matt Kollins at Atlas Floral Decorators… From the very beginning, he understood what my daughter wanted, and recommended table arrangements, and venue decorations that my guests are still raving about! Matthew had suggested stringing small votive glass bell jars from the top of the ceiling suspended at different lengths along the glass walls of the dining room, and when the evening began, it looked as though stars were shining in from the sky outside… What an impact!
The chuppa was breathtaking, and the brides’s bouquet was just beautiful! My daughter had wanted only whites and ivory flowers, and the feeling to be organic and natural… We couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw how beautiful and exactly as we spoke of… everything was! Matt helped to make all of us enjoy a most memorable occasion!
