anchor & bloom Testimonials

Once again Lori and her team provided our family with a gorgeous chuppah for another wedding! Her attention to detail, prompt responses, and her ability to understand exactly what our bride wanted was a testament to her talent. Thank you Anchor and Bloom for providing a seamless day and beauty all around!

Lori and Anchor & Bloom are just as wonderful to work with as their flowers are beautiful to look at.  My wedding florals exceeded my expectations; they were incredibly stunning! I shared a simple idea of what I envisioned with Lori, and she knew exactly what to create. Her expertise and creativity are unmatched. In my opinion and experience, Anchor & Bloom is the only floral design vendor to consider (and if you're lucky enough to hire) for a special occasion on Long Island.

Where to begin?! Lori and her team at Anchor & Bloom were amazing from start to finish. We weren't 100% sure what we wanted, but we showed Lori some pictures from Pinterest and she took it from there. She is extremely knowledgeable about all things floral. She gave us so many great suggestions and the end result was amazing. We couldn't have been happier with the florals, which were set up and arranged perfectly. Highly recommend!

Lori and the Anchor & Bloom team are all professional, experienced, patient, and calm. Lori was very open-minded when hearing all concepts and ideas we had leading up to the wedding, and was able to use her expertise to translate them into reality. Our wedding arrangements and chuppah were absolutely stunning, and elevated the entire setting of our wedding celebrations through the Anchor & Bloom team's sophisticated aesthetic and eye for detail. I highly recommend Lori and the Anchor & Bloom team!

From the very first email, working with Lori was amazing. She took our vision and numerous pins and turned our wedding florals into a reality I could only have dreamed of. From the simpleness of the calla lily bouquets to the stunning arrangements of the table florals and the florals wrapped around our ceremony tree, no detail was overlooked. She is so knowledgable, kind, and easy to work with. Thank you Lori! Emily, NYC/Montauk

Lori was such a dream to work with for my wedding day in Montauk. I shared the vision and Lori brought it to life and then some! Every conversation with Lori was always so great and she was so open to every single idea. There was a certain aspect that I wanted that seemed impossible but Lori worked with the venue to make it happen and I could not be more grateful. Also, at the end of the night, the guests couldn’t grab the centerpieces fast enough! Thank you so much for everything, Lori! We are still getting compliments on the decor. The only thing more gorgeous than the weather was everything you did! The Pampas Grass Orb was breathtaking. You made our very special day even more memorable, we are both so grateful! - Mae & Alvin

Desperately needed a sophisticated, high calibre bouquet delivered in East Hampton. Do you know how difficult it is to find someone that can create a high end arrangement that surpasses your expectations? Never happens, right? Oh, yes it does! Lori at Anchor & Bloom not only created a magnificent arrangement (that the recipient loved by the way) that was so beautiful and breathtaking, she had it delivered the same day! Lori was so accommodating, understood what I needed and went above and beyond! If you're looking for superb customer service, experience, expertise, creativity and quality, look no further!!! - Paula

Thank you so much for everything! I really can not thank you enough for how everything turned out! It was exactly what I pictured, if not better! Everyone told me how beautiful all the floral arrangements and bouquets, etc were. It was absolutely beautiful! I couldn’t have asked for anything better! You were amazing to work with and made my vision come to life! Thank you so much again!!! - Amy

Lori did my flowers for my wedding in Montauk. Her work was absolutely exquisite. Although I never got to meet with Lori due to Covid, everything came out exactly as I envisioned. She is professional, responsive and extremely talented. There were a few last minute additions I needed and she was totally accommodating and helpful. Highly, highly recommend working with Lori if you are in The Hamptons area! -Claire

I do not even know where to begin and this is bringing back all the emotions of my first look at the arrangements and my STUNNING bouquet (I cried happy tears). After meeting Lori, my now husband and I knew we wanted her to be involved in our wedding. When explaining my vision, she was so excited, took extensive notes and had amazing suggestions. The comfort and confidence that I had in Lori after meeting with her for the first time was such a relief in the planning process of our wedding. I had no doubts that she was going to bring my vision into fruition. 

My bouquet was a stunning mix of palms and greens with a massive and gorgeous white king protea. She exceeded my expectations.

Lori sourced the most gorgeous palms that were used in my bridesmaids bouquets as well. I loved her idea of making mini bouquets for our mothers and grandmother instead of the corsages. It was so different and they loved them! 

Lori was a dream to work with and I would recommend her over and over again. We loved everything so much that we brought the five foot banana leaf centerpieces, the cocktail hour centerpieces and of course my gorgeous bouquet to our home. I could not part with them and I love that I have a reminder of the most amazing night.  Alex & Kevin, Montauk NY

Lori was very professional and accommodating on the phone and went above and beyond to hand deliver flowers to friends in Montauk. The bouquet she created was absolutely stunning…bright, fresh & modern. More beautiful than I could have imagined. Was so happy to have found her & highly recommended Anchor & Bloom for all your floral needs on the East End. -Pania Rose

Lori at Anchor & Bloom is the absolute best to work with! We had a pretty big multi-day event in Montauk, and some last minute changes. She couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating. Our clients LOVED every floral arrangement she and her team made. Looking forward to working with Anchor & Bloom again! -Jess Penna

It was such an incredible experience working with you on all of our beautiful flowers and arrangements/décor! Your professionalism, kindness and follow through in all of the planning was amazing. You never left me waiting or uncertain, which as a busy bride planning, you were absolutely perfect.Once the final details and contract were in place, I had no doubts in my mind, that you would execute complete beauty for our big day.

You did not disappoint. Everything was classy & gorgeous, from the Ceremony arrangements and candles, to all of the entrance/décor pieces and our beautiful centerpieces on the tables just blew us away and all of our guests. Thank you for making everything so breathtaking and for being the easiest part of our wedding planning!!! I want to have another event just to work with you again!!!

Anchor & Bloom Flowers provided the floral design and arrangements for my wedding and in doing so completely transformed the ambience of the venue space. Early on in the planning process Lori and I spoke about the kinds of flowers I would like at my wedding and we looked at images of other floral designs together. At our next meeting she surprised me with a sample arrangement and I was blown away by how she was able to synthesize my vision based on our conversation. The flowers for my wedding far exceeded my expectations. Friends and family continue to comment on how beautiful the arrangements were when they think back to the wedding. Not only is Lori talented, but she is also wonderful to work with. I would undoubtedly recommend her to anyone looking for flowers for a wedding or any other special events.  Mary Kate Donovan, Liberty Warehouse, Brooklyn NY 

Lori was a great partner in planning my son's Bar Mitzvah. Her tablescapes of Succulents, fresh Herbs, Black River Stones, and votives made the perfect statement for our event. The design was fresh and modern. My guests loved taking home a living memory of a great afternoon. You will love your experience with Anchor & Bloom! Charlotte, The Hedges Inn, East Hampton NY

Im writing to recommend Lori Hren's work to anyone looking for flowers for an event. We hosted a small local wedding and asked Lori to design the flowers . I met with Lori in person and described vaguely what I imagined the flowers looking like. Lori was able to listen to what I described and come up with truly beautiful arrangements that both blended perfectly with the space and fit our budget. She was extremely professional, easy to communicate with, fast in responding, and we received so many compliments on the flowers. In addition to loving the results, I was happy to work with a local Mom. Lori is truly gifted in both her floral design and communication skills, and I hope other people get to experience the ease of working with her.  Melanie, Frankies 457 Spuntino, Brooklyn NY

Lori Hren of Anchor & Bloom Floral Design is so professional and creative. She helped me design container gardens on my balcony, with plants I never would have considered myself. I always get so many compliments. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Plus, she is a really lovely person. I highly recommend her for container gardens and floral design.  Lisa, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn NY

Recently we had an event in our home and last minute I asked Lori to make floral arrangements for it. With little direction, she made the most beautiful arrangements of the same quality and character as high end florists in Manhattan, and very competitively priced. If I could do my wedding over, I would use Lori.I hope people will try Anchor & Bloom Floral Design for all floral needs-she is great! Jane, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn NY

I absolutely loved the flowers that Anchor & Bloom provided for my spring wedding! Lori is extremely talented and a pleasure to work with. She listened to what I wanted and offered guidance and ideas to enhance my vision. Everything was exactly what I had pictured- from the table arrangements to the bouquets and boutonnieres. I was particularly in love with the simple, yet beautiful arrangements that she made on the fireplace mantle. The flowers were fresh and vibrant, Lori was accommodating and professional. I would highly recommend Anchor & Bloom for your floral needs! Caroline, Gurneys Star Island Resort & Marina, Montauk NY

Lori is simply the best! She was so easy to work with, and our wedding florals far exceeded our expectations and vision!
We planned our wedding from across the country and during a pandemic, and while scheduling and planning was at times tricky, Lori made everything that much easier and streamlined.
While we had a vision of what we wanted for our bridal party and table settings, Lori was able to offer her creative and professional touch- which truly made our beach setting wedding complete. Nothing but praise and thankfulness for her beautiful work! Alice, Bridgehampton Tennis & Surf Club, Bridgehampton NY

Lori is absolutely the best! She did my wedding day floral arrangements and everything was STUNNING. She was so great to work with, I got so many compliments on the flowers at my wedding - they were so beautiful, I wish I could have kept them all. I can't recommend her enough.
