    Roses & Thistle - does this say "wildflowers, loose and playful?" or seem like $100 of flowers?

    I live in Bay Area,CA and my sister lives in Marblehead MA. I ordered flowers yesterday to be…read moredelivered for my sister's birthday today. When Ann took my order, she captured my words re: style exactly as I requested "wildflowers, something loose and playful". And yet, my sister received an elegant, stiff arrangement in a short glass vase that would be stunning as a wedding centerpiece, but nothing like my order request. When my sister FaceTimed me to show me the 7 pink garden roses, one hydrangea and some greens, my heart sank. Not only was the arrangement much smaller than expected, there was nothing "wildflower, loose or playful about it". I wanted to resolve this prior to leaving a review, mistakes happen, right? I immediately called after I saw the flowers (image below) and spoke with Kim. Kim took the time to listen to my disappointment and confusion with the order, even though she was the only one in the shop and busy. Kim asked if I could have my sister text her an image of the flowers. Then, I find out that Kim called my sister (the recipient) to ask if she was unhappy and would like to switch out the arrangement. Awkward!!!! My sister didn't know how sad and disappointed I was or how much I spent, and she told Kim that wasn't necessary. She told her that the "flowers weren't me but they are pretty". I am the one who ordered and paid, why call her? My sister doesn't know that I spent over $100 on these few pink garden roses. I called Kim hours later after no one got back to me and she said they have a formula and the arrangement was valued more than $100. She said that each order is "unique" and that they "put their creative souls" into their work. I reminded her the style request on the order form and how I was told I could get a much bigger arrangement for $100. I asked for a partial refund. Despite getting the style so wrong, the upsell, the disappointing size and lack of flowers, Kim said a partial refund "isn't possible". Her effort at fixing it was to call the recipient and offer a switch "for something else already in the truck". Really??? This was my birthday gift for my sister. Ugh. Cost of living in the Bay area is, well, ridiculously expensive. And yet, $100 gets you a beautiful large bouquet of loose, wildflowers done right 3 times the size. I gave 2 stars, not 1 star, because Kim showed some responsiveness in taking my call. I want to support local businesses, but next time, I'm going with Farmgirl Flowers or another local florist. I do not recommend Roses and Thistle unless you want very expensive, small centerpieces for an upscale event.

Beautiful white floral arrangements in white and gold boxes that were different shapes and sizes. My Aunt Dotty completed the table arrangements with tealight candles and gold accents, fabulous! I've been sending arrangements to my Aunt all year, sort of an arrangement of the month plan, as a special thank-you... Bill makes each arrangement more spectacular than the last. The attention to detail and customer service is greatly appreciated. My Aunt reports that Bill saved the best arrangement for last: White orchids trimmed in gold for the holiday season. How special is that??

I was in the Royal Wedding spirit and wanted to get something fancy, and this shop had so many to choose from. The owner, Bill Graham is very talented and sweet. He spent time with me trying on different ones and helped me pick just the perfect one. My boyfriend has also got me flowers from here a few times and they always are gorgeous and professionally displayed. This shop has so many wonderful things and the flower arrangements he creates are just as stunning! I love supporting great local businesses like this! I
