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.

  • Beautiful elopement bouquet

    Verified review
    Theresa R.Jan 14

    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!

    Eliza is the REAL DEAL, this woman is beyond talented at what she does. She took full creative control of my wedding, and I was totally shocked when I got to see the finished product on my wedding day, everything was absolutely stunning. She has an incredible eye for detail and really brought my vision to life in the most beautiful way. From the lush, vibrant bouquets to the elegant tablescapes, every floral element was perfection, and no detail was forgotten. I cannot express how grateful I am for Eliza's expertise and dedication. My wedding day was made even more special thanks to her incredible work and team. I would highly recommend Bess to any couple looking for a florist who will exceed all of your expectations. Thank you!!!!
