She was stunned at the beauty and spectacular design. It brought her out of her funk. The attention to detail and updates were incredible. Best service and flowers I've ever seen or experienced.

Luckily, I came across Flowers by Fudgie on Yelp and the business was open at 8:25 AM to take my phone call. With only a price point and a few details about my family member's favorite flowers and love for art/design, they made the BEST arrangement and delivered it the same day, for half of the price it would have cost me to order online through a middleman company (or Amazon). So, definitely call and just tell them your budget! I will be a return customer. Thank you, Flowers by Fudgie!

I usually plan ahead but being away a few days prior to her birthday threw me off a bit. I wanted to try a new (to me-well anything is really new because I am new around here) local florist and I was pleasantly surprised. was told that some flowers they typically had (per the website) were not available but that she could start an arrangement and I could meet her at the shop to explain what I could like in the arrangement from the flowers they had in the case. When I got there I was greeted warmly and the women working were so personable and took my requests to heart. The delivery driver who stopped on to pick up arrangements to deliver out was extremely nice as well. I can tell this florist cares about delivering a quality and aesthetically pleasing product. I was provided with a beautiful assortment of a variety of flowers and colors with added height accents for visual interest. I will continue to use them again and again. Thank you, Bee Ridge Florist, for your kindness and delivery of a great product.
