I called for a family basket to be sent to my sister's home in Reading - her father-in-law had passed way. The very kind and empathetic floral designer (I've forgotten his name) helped me confirm a floral planter was the perfect choice. Phone engagement was quick but all questions were answered completely and patiently. The designer was spot-on when he told me the plants they had were good sized and healthy. I thought I wanted a 12" planter but they had 10" or 14". He suggested that the 10" planter would be fine, which I appreciated. However, it was folk a few of us so I went with the 14".. I thought delivery fee was a bit higher than I've paid in the past, BUT they delivered the planters on the same day, exceeding my expectations! The planter is gorgeous and plants look super healthy for a lasting gift. Worth it! I'd say great value! read more

While the arrangement photo in the advertisement was beautiful, the delivered arrangement was not as advertised, and the flowers were dying during the wake, and falling off. I specifically chose a local florist to support when choosing my bouquet to say farewell to a family friend, and to say I was disappointed at the quality is an understatement. Instead of just ignoring my complaint if she found it unfounded, Lori contacted me to retract the refund promised by Ben. My family was in mourning, and I'm 3,000 miles away, so we certainly didn't take a picture of the bouquet to confirm what I'm being told. There is nothing more unseemly than debating the "value" received for a funeral bouquet. It only takes a moment to take a snapshot of the arrangement sent, if one is not going to stand behind the quality of their creations delivered, and argue over a refund of any type. Neither of us wants to have a bad experience, so I'm chalking this up to Judge Judy's advice - I won't be using Affairs To Remember services again. read more

Pros: pretty, fresh looking flowers good customer service good variety of flowers local Cons: In my opinion, over priced. I picked out two $15 wrapped tulip bouquets and had them put them into a vase. I expected to pay a bit for the simple glass vase and the service involved in arranging them. I did not expect it to cost $69. However, I did not ask. I should have asked. The selection of pre-made arrangements was limited. If you have an idea in mind it would probably be helpful to bring in a picture. read more

Approximately 4 years ago, I was attending my niece's dance recital and met Lori. She had a booth with the most gorgeous roses I had ever seen. When I learned she was nearby in Melrose, I was absolutely thrilled. Since that time, I have ordered from Affairs to Remember regularly... The entire floral arrangement crew goes above and beyond to help customers. They pay attention to details and arrange flowers as requested to the finest detail. I have purchased from a wide range of florists, and have found Affairs to Remember continues to order the highest quality flowers. Their roses continue to remain the most gorgeous I have ever seen... I am appreciative to have such a great resource in my neighborhood! If you haven't checked them out yet, do so! read more

I ordered an arrangement for a family funeral. I received a phone phone call stating someone else ordered the same arrangement and Laurie and I spoke about an alternative. I hung up feeling confident that she would create something beautiful. However, I was wrong. I got to the funeral to see 2 hydrangeas in a plastic basket. Definitely not worth the $150.00 charged. I called the shop a few days later to express my disappointment. I was told that Laurie would call me back. Nearly a week later, I called again because I hadn't heard anything. Laurie said she didn't realize I needed a call back and then proceeded to tell me how expensive hydrangea are. And the each one was worth $75. Her customer service skills are absolutely horrendous. I would never recommend this florist, or use them again! read more

This was for a funeral across clothe country. I was embarrassed that this is what was delivered. Nothing like what I ordered and paid for. read more

Affairs To Remember - So frustrated by lack of any kind of response. What I ordered was beautiful and what was delivers was puny!!! - Florists Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

See all

Called on 2/12 for a delivery. The girl I spoke to was wonderful (which is why I give this 2 stars). I ordered right off the website 2 dozen pink roses for my wife. I upgraded to premium which was $145. I also ordered a 50 bouquet to be delivered to same address. The owner called me about an hour and a half after I placed the order and stated she meant to take that off the internet because it was Valentine's Day and she wouldn't honor that price. Instead she said I could get a dozen and a half for the same price. The flowers came and I was less then impressed with both of them. Save your money and go some where else. If you have something on your website you should honor it no matter what day it is. Roses came with no baby's breath or anything. Beyond disappointed. I like to shop local but won't be doing that here anymore. read more

Affairs To Remember - This was $145 plus tax and 25 dollar delivery - Florists Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

A friend just had a baby and I live too far away to bring flowers in person. I cold-called Affairs to Remember and had the pleasure of speaking with Tim. He was able to describe the perfect bouquet for me over the phone and help me make design choices. I left a lot up to his expertise and I couldn't be happier. They were able to make a same day delivery (within hours of placing the order) and the recipient sent me a picture and text saying "they were the most beautiful flowers she's gotten in her life". Ordering over the phone was super easy and I was blown away by the end product! Thank you Affairs to Remember for helping me celebrate this new baby and my friend! read more

I want to thank you for the beautiful centerpieces for my granddaughters Quinceaner. They were perfect So beautiful in fact that every person at a table wanted to take them home. You took so much care in incorporating the colors of her dress and making sure they were delivered on time. I can not thank you enough. I only wish you had "An Affairs to Remember" in every city! read more

I spoke with Mia who was super helpful and helped me send flowers to my daughter for her birthday. The Flowers are beautiful and we're delivered quickly. I will definitely use again. Thank you! read more

I ordered flowers from their website. It was quick and simple. But, it provided the option for a Sunday delivery that is not actually possible. I received a phone call within minutes of ordering apologizing for the problem and providing me with options. I chose a Monday delivery risking the recipient not being home, the flowers were delivered on Monday and the recipient received a phone call alerting them to the delivery while not at home. The flowers were very well received and the phone call alert was greatly appreciated. They have gained my future business. read more

I have used Affairs to Remember several times. The first time was to get some amazing flowers for my Engagement Party. I had a pretty small budget, minuscule infact. Lori worked with me to get the look that I wanted within my budget. My party was in NH. The flowers transported well and set up perfect. They lasted all day and into the following weeks. Many people who took some home complimented me on their staying power! They helped make the perfect day. The 2nd time I used her was for my business. I went in with a loose idea of what I wanted. More of just a palate of colors. She came up with some very creative ideas to fit my palate. They flowers were fresh and just what I was looking for. They not only fit the event perfectly but I got many compliments on how it dressed up my booth and tied everything together. They were delivered on time and I could not have asked for anything more. I plan on using Affairs to Remember again for both business and personal reasons! read more

Kinda stumbled upon this shop about a month ago. I was buying wine across the street for a sweet anniversary dinner, and spotted "Melrose Blossoms." My first thought, "perfect location." They are on Main St. at the corner of Upham/Essex st. in Melrose, with plenty of on street parking. That part of Main St. is a "one stop" area for all your errands. Walking into Melrose Blossoms, there is a huge walk -in cooler, filled with bright colors and fresh smells. My second thought, "Jackpot!! The owner was extremely helpful (and very easy on the eyes.) I walked out of there with an amazing arrangement and a new flower shop. My third thought......Well, maybe I'll keep that to myself, but I think the guys know what I was thinking holding wine, and these beautiful flowers in my hand. I highly recommend Melrose Blossoms!! read more

Affairs is my go to florist when ever I send flowers in their area. They always have gorgeous flowers and great service. I've never been disappointed. read more

I ordered flowers for 2 different occasions and the first they had my name and info wrong and the second was delivered 2 days late which I understand you can't leave flowers outside in the cold but I wish they would have called me and let me know as I had a wake and was unaware they were not delivered. I always use this business but I also insist on feedback. Very friendly customer service but their email even bounced back to me. read more

Wicked Fast Delivery! I ordered a bouquet and it was delivered within 1.5 hours! The bouquet was much fuller in person than in the website pictures, so I was extremely satisfied with the bouquet. It was my first time using this shop, as I'm on the West Coast, but they'll be my go to now. Thank you for such amazing service. read more

I always find something new here when doing my usual rounds of the gift shops in the Boston area

I couldn't make it to a service for my brother-in-law in New England because of the Covid. Tim answered and he guided me right through the process. He called the church and found out where and when the flowers were to be delivered. He even called me back to verify the name on the flowers, as the deceased used his middle name. I heard the flowers were beautiful. The flowers were a bit pricey I thought, but I didn't care when I got service like this. read more

Lori, of Affairs to Remember, created an excellent and creative arrangement for me that took into account my special requests. I called this shop looking for a Mother's Day arrangement. I needed it to last a long time, have nothing to plant later (all cut flowers), be more unique that what I could find in the supermarket, and include the color purple. A lot of requests, but I know nothing about flowers and didn't have any idea what to ask for beyond that. The arrangement she provided, despite short notice around the holiday, was amazing. From the vase they were in to the great looking flowers (never saw some of them before), it all went over really well on Mother's Day and a good while afterward. Affairs provided me just what I was looking for, even though I wasn't really sure what it was. read more

Definitely Melrose MA's best florist. Have used them for flowers for my grandmother for years.

I walked in and asked if they could prepare an arrangement for my parents anniversary. The owner took the time to create a beautiful piece that included sunflowers. My parents, especially my Mother, loved it. I am not really a flower-guy, but now I know where to go for any flowers in the future. read more

I recently placed a super last-minute order for two flower-girl wreaths. Less than 24 hours later I had two of the most beautiful wreaths. The best part was the absolutely perfect fit with only my providing the age of the girls. And they were very sturdy and fairly priced. (We ordered two last year from another florist and we needed like a hundred bobbie pins to keep them on and they were very flimsy, despite being the same price.) Bravo! We will call you again for our future floral needs. read more

Had some flowers delivered to my Girlfriend at her work - besides being willing to go pretty far away for the delivery, the flowers were beautiful and well arranged. Was definitely worth it :D read more

Excellent phone service and quality product. We needed a funeral arrangement delivered to a Melrose funeral home a few days ago, and did not want the arrangement to look funereal. We didn't attend the services, but other family members did, and said the quality and abundance of the arrangement was excellent and it was a beautiful basket of fresh stems. It was important to us that the flowers looked lovely and they did. Thank you. read more

Living in Florida and choose Affairs to Remember from their Yelp ratings to send flowers to a friend in Melrose. Amazingly easy online ordering with a good selection. DELIVERED SUPER FAST within 1 hour of ordering. Would highly recommend Affairs to Remember. read more

I've used Affairs to Remember several times to send flowers to my wife (birthday, valentines day, etc.) and to provide table centerpieces for a fundraising event my community non-profit held. On all occasions, they very much exceeded my expectations. For the centerpieces, they delivered a combination of beautiful live flowering plants in pots and flower arrangements that were much better than those we had used in the past. I gave Lori our number of tables, the general color mix we were using for other decorations, a rough verbal description of the room, and a budget and she delivered. Speaking of which, delivery of the centerpieces was one of the few logistical items that we didn't have to worry about as Affairs to Remember has always been reliable and punctual on delivery for everything I've gotten from them and this was no exception. On the personal end, every boquet of flowers I've ever gotten from Affairs to Remember has been absolutely beautiful. Occasionally, Lori has made suggestions or described options to me and I've never been disappointed. The flowers were beautifully arranged, my wife loved them, and they lasted a long time on the kitchen table, unlike some of the half-wilted stuff I've gotten through big online places in the past. Delivery was also great because the driver is someone from Affairs to Remember and not the postal service or some random flower shop, so it was easy to give them complicated delivery instructions and know that they would be followed. Overall, highly recommend Affiars to Remember. read more

Lori did the arrangements for my wedding and everything was beautiful and reasonably priced. She is very attentive and I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding. This is a smaller shop so I suggest looking into her well in advance...good luck! read more

This was my first experience with Affairs to Remember and they were wonderful to work with. They made sure the order was just what we wanted. The flowers were delivered right on time with no problems. I would definitely call them the next time I need flowers. read more

Another great experience at Affairs to Remember. I called this morning to get a last minute bouquet to pick-up later in the day. So helpful on the phone, gave a description of what she could pull together for me, and it was even more beautiful than I expected. You will get my business each and every time whether I want some delicious caramels or the perfect flower arrangement! read more

I did not know what to expect. I don't know anything about floral arranging so I put my trust in Lori and hoped for the best. I was comfortable with the description and very pleased on how well Lori tried to accommodate my budget issues. When I saw the two arrangements at the funeral home, I pulled out my camera. The colors were perfect and the fullness was impressive. I will definitely go back to Affairs to Remember next time the need arises. read more

Very dissatisfied with the service from beginning to end. Should have known from the start but Lori came highly recommended. Upon entering the store I barely got a greeting. When I was finally noticed and advised of my appointment with her...she seemed disinterested in talking to me. I kept a pleasant smile and proceeded to tell her what I wanted for my wedding and she assured me that she understood and would make it happen. Bad idea! The day before my small intiment wedding I went to pick up my bouquet and to my surprise it was the most ugly thing I have ever seen. How hard was it to make a simple pink wedding bouquet??? I was horrified to say the least and left in tears. Never again! There are moments a bride looks forward too....her dress and that final touch the bouquet! Mine was ruined! She didn't even have the respect to come see if I liked it...Hope no bride ever experiences this with her. It wasn't fair at all! read more
