James Cress Florist is a family-owned and operated local florist that has grown into a national flower delivery brand. We got our start delivering same-day flowers across Long Island, Suffolk County, and Nassau County, NY, through our four Long Island locations: three retail flower shops plus our standalone floral design studio and wedding center. Today, through our nationwide network of partner florists and direct farm-to-door shipping, we deliver flowers to every state, all while maintaining the personal, farm-fresh standards we started with.
Founded in Manhattan in 1903, James Cress Florist has been a fixture of the New York City floral landscape for over a century. For three generations, we've been New York's award-winning best florist on Long Island, and we've built on that same commitment to quality to become a trusted name in flower delivery nationwide.
We specialize in Wedding and Events Floral Design with more than 10 decades of experience. Our design studio and wedding center is where we build the arrangements we sell, and where we produce custom large-scale weddings and events across Long Island and the greater New York metro area. It is how we stay rooted in hands-on floral design expertise. James Cress Florist proudly delivers the highest quality of customer service and satisfaction, whether you're a local customer or ordering from across the country. Our philosophy is simple: obsess over our customers by going above and beyond to create a delightful experience with every order. We take the utmost pride in being your local florist.
Though we're known for crafting extravagant floral designs for Long Island weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, parties, and events of every theme, we also serve everyday moments nationwide. From custom centerpieces to same-day birthday bouquets delivered across the country, our design network helps you express the little moments and the big ones with exceptional style.
We can also create unique gourmet gift baskets for any occasion, from birthdays and holidays to anniversaries and Valentine's Day, deliverable locally or nationwide.
Whether you're looking to thank someone with flowers, wish a happy birthday, celebrate an anniversary, mark a special occasion, or send a boutonniere or corsage for prom night, we have every occasion covered. Our flowers are arranged by experienced flower artisans local to you or your recipient, or shipped fresh direct from the farm, wherever they are in the U.S.
Our friendly, knowledgeable staff is also always available to consult with you about Sympathy Tribute Pieces and Corporate Flower needs. For the freshest flowers, local or nationwide, trust James Cress Florist.
