About Bess

Elizabeth

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. 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 was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Elizabeth was incredibly proactive and responsive, taking the time to walk through all the details with me multiple times and never hesitating to accommodate any changes I requested. The final floral arrangements she put together were absolutely stunning, perfectly matching the vibe and style of our wedding. She worked quickly and efficiently to have everything set up just right, and the end result looked so beautiful. Elizabeth is a really lovely person who clearly cares so much about making each couple's day special. I can't recommend Bess Flowers enough, they helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect!

  • She’s your florist - no need to look further!

    Liz, the owner of Bess was an absolute joy to have as a florist. From start to finish she was so kind and fun to work with. She made such a beautiful mood board and most importantly, listened to what we wanted in our day and executed it flawlessly. Our flowers were full of color, life, and vibrancy, just as we wanted. We've had compliments on our flowers not only from guests, but also the vendors that worked alongside her at our wedding. Thank you for making our day beautiful and one of a kind.
