What People Are Saying About Elizabeth Ryan Floral Designs

The Scene – Even if you never see the inside of Elizabeth Ryan's tiny railroad shop, chances are you'll benefit from her 20 years in the business. Phone orders are just as common as walk-ins, and she's got a way of talking you through an arrangement even if you don't know peony from pansy. Her custom work is heavy on the exotic--water lilies, lotus flowers, berries and pods. She never advertises, yet the annual New York Horticultural Society Gala is just one of her prestige accounts. – – The Goods – Goods arrive the day they're cut, unlike at lower quality vendors…

A diamond in the rough...
by kimbrunett
Elizabeth Ryan is full representation of beauty - inside and out! I was surprised to find the "country" ways in the big city. She knows flowers and she knows her people!!

The Best
by neukolnxyz
Better than rejuvenation! Elizabeth handled the flowers and table designs for my Aunt Iris' 70th birthday. Aunt "Blue" Iris' memory is starting to fade, but she still talks about those flowers and the beautiful designs. The bald black woman that works in the back is also very nice and helpful.
- Pros: No bees were present at store.

Living by example
by jbacharach
Never have I been met with such integrity and humanity in all my years as when Elizabeth Ryan stepped in and dealt with my order. The stakes were very high and she went over and above board to do the kindest and greatest good for all involved. She taught me that she is not simply out to make a profit but to contribute to the peace and happiness of all by taking several extra steps when she really did not need to even make one. Her staff has learned by her example. She taught me what true giving really means. And she also taught me what it means to do better in your own life. To listen better. To understand. To have compassion. To offer a kind word. To make wise decisions. To forgive. To keep going. To celebrate joy. To appreciate beauty. To tell people what they mean to you. It doesn't get any better than Elizabeth Ryan. The beauty never ceases to amaze, delight, bewilder, entrance, charm, dazzle and light up your heart!!!!
- Pros: Amazing service above and beyond
- Cons: That they are not open 24 hours a day
