Sussex County Florist: Where Every Bloom Tells Your Story

Handcrafted floral designs for weddings, celebrations, and everyday moments in Wantage, NJ and beyond.

About Us

When Renee sits down with a couple clutching Pinterest screenshots and a half-formed dream, something remarkable happens. By the time the conversation ends, that dream has a shape, a color palette, and a plan that exceeds what the couple thought was possible. That reputation, built one consultation at a time, has earned Sussex County Florist a 4.8-star rating across 94 reviews, and it explains why brides who move out of state still call Wantage, NJ for their mothers' birthday bouquets.

The shop sits on NJ Route 23 in Wantage, rooted in the rolling farmland of Sussex County. This is not a production-line flower shop. Every arrangement starts with a conversation about your vision, your occasion, and the feeling you want to leave behind. From bridal bouquets that stop a room to surprise-party centerpieces pulled together in ten days, the team moves with the kind of calm confidence that comes from doing this work deeply, not just frequently.

The business spans floristry, wholesale, and farm-direct sourcing, which means fresher stems and a wider creative range than most local shops can offer. If you have an idea, bring it. If you have no idea at all, that works too.

What We Offer

Wedding florals are a signature strength here. Renee and her team handle everything from bridal bouquets and boutonnieres to ceremony arches and reception centerpieces, translating your inspiration into arrangements that photograph beautifully and feel even better in person.

Beyond weddings, the shop crafts custom birthday arrangements, anniversary bouquets, sympathy tributes, corporate event florals, and seasonal gift designs. Same-week orders are welcome, and the team has a proven track record of delivering on tight timelines without cutting corners on quality. Wholesale and farm-direct sourcing keeps the flower selection broad and the freshness high, whether you need a single hand-tied bouquet or full-scale event decor.

Stop in Monday through Saturday at 121 NJ-23 to browse the cooler, place a custom order, or talk through an upcoming event. Walk-ins are welcome, but a quick consultation appointment ensures the team can give your project the focused attention it deserves.

"I was completely over the moon with the florals for my wedding done by Sussex County Florist! I went to Renee with an idea and a couple of examples from pinterest, and not only did she elevate my vision, she also found ways to use flowers that looked similar but stayed within my budget. She knew how to create bouquets with flowers that would look gorgeously vibrant and also last for hours on the top of a mountain in the middle of summer- Renee knows what she is talking about! 10/10 would recommend, especially for any Mountain Creek Brides!"

"Absolutely love the mother's day bouquet! I have been purchasing flowers for my mom for special occasions from Sussex County Florist since moving out of state. My mom always loves the arrangements they make. Delivery is timely, the flowers are beautiful, and I'd much rather support a local Sussex county business! Thank you!"

"I ordered few center pieces for my Aunt’s surprise 70th birthday. It was only 10 days notice but they were willing & able to help. We had a consultation or sorts and discussed my vision and expectations. They were honest and fair about what flowers were available and what would need to be ordered. The design was perfect, I came to pick them up and they were exactly what we discussed. Beautiful quality flowers too! She loved them!!!"

"We would highly recommend this florist. They were absolutely amazing. We worked with Renew through our process and she knew my vision and my color palette. All the boutonnières came out beautiful. The only complaint I had was that my husband’s moody blue rose one bloomed fully through the course of the afternoon and some petals started to wilt (as shown in photo). Other than that, my bouquet was absolutely breathtaking. My girls bouquets were gorgeous and the perfect compliment to mine. The arch piece for our outside wedding and matching sweetheart table piece were incredible. Renee knew exactly what I wanted! Lastly, the table centerpieces were gorgeous and “popped” on the white linens at the venue. Thank you so much for taking my vision to reality and helping make my incredible day more beautiful!"

"I absolutely LOVED my bouquet for my wedding, I waited VERY last minute literally 4 days before my wedding the owner Rene was so wonderful, as we spoke she understood exactly what I was looking for something beautiful, natural and simple and she made just what I had pictured. Rene worked wonders in such short time. Rene has great vibes and is so sweet and has a lot of talent. I HIGHLY recommend anyone who is in search of a beautiful and great quality boutique please check out Sussex county Florist and speak the Rene, I will be back to give her more business I will rather spend more money with someone who makes a customer feel important than pay less somewhere else where you are just another customer. She completed my special day! THANK YOU RENE!"
