About Bess

Bess

Founder + Lead Florist

My name is Elizabeth, I'm a Floral Designer and Illustrator based in NYC. Bess was founded after many late nights and early mornings spent creating floral designs influenced by my own art, and a love for the natural environment that I cherish. I love to take an intuitive and creative approach with each event and couple I work with; learning each and every client's story and vision as as a basis for my creations, and then applying those special details into my designs. Bess embraces modern shapes balanced with subtle gestures, whimsical movement, and seasonality that help bring your vision to fruition.

Bess is not your typical floral studio: All of our designs are made with eco friendly foam-free mechanics, and our vessels are vintage, re-used or locally made. All flower waste gets composted onsite. Anything you don't keep at the end of the wedding gets donated or composted.

    Bess Flowers was a dream to work with for our wedding flowers. From our very first conversation, Eliza was thoughtful, and easy to talk to, helping us bring our floral vision to life. The end result was simply stunning, easily the most gorgeous flowers I've ever seen at a wedding. Eliza helped us place the arrangements exactly how we envisioned, and their attention to detail really made our special day even more beautiful. She also helped us stay within budget, without compromising anything we wanted. I would highly recommend Bess Flowers to any couple planning their wedding.

    Eliza at Bess is amazing to work with. She executed the vision for my wedding even better than I could have imagined. I wanted something colorful and natural to go with our green garden venue, and everything was just absolutely perfect. Eliza's pricing is also reasonable and she was so easy to work with throughout the planning process, and was always super responsive to my many questions and changes. I highly recommend Bess for your wedding. My friends and family are still talking about my wedding flowers almost a year later!

    Bess was a pleasure to work with for our elopement. From the moment we first reached out, Eliza was prompt, accommodating, and genuinely warm in their communication style. The Bridal Bouquet she created was nothing short of stunning and detailed. Eliza hand-delivered it to my home which made my wedding day so much easier. She is clearly so knowledgeable about different flora and passionate about flower arranging. We couldn't have been happier with the end result, and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

    Eliza was one of the kindest souls we have ever met. Her energy is so calming and inviting. She also fully understood the assignment, and executed it to PERFECTION. Put all your trust in Eliza. Let her do her thing and she will create MAGIC, I promise you. I shared with her my ideal wedding florals, she sent back her own vision board and she took it from there. Thank you to Eliza and the Bess team for making my wedding day so beautiful!
