A friend's passing promoted my search for a place to order a flower arrangement for the memorial…read moreservice held in Lafayette. A search on Yelp led me here. As I checked with friends about joining me, I decided to call them to get more information and place an order. Calling on a Monday later afternoon, I learned they were closed and called again Tuesday. The lady sounded busy so I kept the conversation brief in getting her advice in going online. I did this and after reading and navigating I placed my order. I received a confirmation email (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=pcDusU-EwnIdwbtLiWW5-A) and shared it with my participating friends. After confirming a friend was attending the memorial, I asked him to take a photo for our group. A few days later, I asked him about it and he said there were only a few arrangements there. He shared this photo (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=xAiHZiYClrW8pmNerRLwEQ) which confirmed they were delivered. He didn't see any card or identification on it so perhaps it was handed to a family member. Thank you, Flower Bowl, for helping us with this solemn tribute. My only suggestion is that you consider sharing photos with your customers by email or text when not ordering in person. *** I understood that they were likely busy as I called during the week leading to Valentine's weekend.

Beautiful birthday flowers ... delivered a day late. When my relatives asked if I liked the…read moreflowers, I had to reply, "What flowers?" Delivery had been promised so it meant a hassle for relatives living 1,800 miles away. Jory's is closed on Mondays. Maybe that was the hang-up, but delivery had been promised. When they finally arrived, I was greeted with a "Sorry." The flowers were beautiful and so was the amber tone mosaic vase. (I am still enjoying the vase now filled with some dried fall flowers.) But here is where things get a bit strange. When I was rinsing out the vase, I noticed two stickers on the bottom. One said Mervyn's $39.99 and the other said Goodwill $8.99. Mervyn's closed many years ago so today's retail value of the vase would be much more. Who knows how it ended up at Goodwill and then made its way to Jory's. I don't have an issue with recycling from thrift stores. I do it myself. What was very odd to me was Jory's did not take a minute or two to remove the stickers. Very tacky. This would have been a five-star review if the flowers had arrived on time and in a vase that did not show its thrift store origins.

I called this "business" earlier in the week to order a dozen roses to be delivered on Valentine's…read moreDay. Pretty simple right? My order was taken & I clearly provided the information for delivery (my cc was promptly charged even tho the person taking my order didn't know the exact fee... for a dozen roses...). The destination is a 5 min. drive from the recipient. This costs $140; that's fine. It's important to me that the flowers get where they're supposed to go, WHEN they're supposed to go. That's the whole reason I'm calling a professional florist. They deliver the flowers a day early, seemingly for no good reason. When I realize this, I immediately call to explain what's happened. I could have bought beautiful roses from anywhere else for much less & taken them myself... the TIMING is important in the florist business (I assume?). I calmly ask to speak w the mgr. & I receive pushback. The lady who answers the phn doesn't want to track down the mgr.; I can just tell her about my issue. So I clearly explain what is wrong & (when asked what should be done) that I expect a partial refund or some form of compensation for my $140 dozen roses delivered a day early before Valentine's Day. Ppl make mistakes... but... The sole reason I'm even leaving this review is bc of the lackadaisical, almost resentful tone & attitude of the lady who fielded my call. She is the opposite of what a business owner or founder would want for customer service. If timing is important to you when you order flowers, you might want to avoid this business. That would merit a 3 star review. If customer service is important you, def. avoid this place. This is a 1 star review primarily for the tone-deaf reply I rec'd when I initially expressed my dismay: "well... you know, mistakes happen, & I mean, they were delivered."

No issues with delivery or card. However quite disappointed in the arrangement. The photos show the…read moreonline photo of the secret garden arrangement and then the photo of what my friend received. Totally different in terms of the shape of the design, amount of greenery, color palette of the flowers, etc. I really liked the asymmetrical and natural style of the online photo while the one my friend received looked like a standard old-fashioned dome shape. Also, I thought the pastel colored lisianthus, astilbe, rosemary, and garden roses were chic choices in the online photo. The bouquet received had brightly colored standard roses and baby's breath that I could have easily gotten at a grocery store. I also paid an extra $20 for extra stems beyond what was shown online. I understand each design is unique and will not match the website exactly - but in this case it was not even close, I would have appreciated a call first if the right person was not available that day to make this arrangement or if they did not have the right flowers on hand.

I sent a Thanksgiving cornucopia table arrangement to my dear friends who had just moved into their…read morenew house. Wanted it to be special since it was their 1st TG there, (after living in an apartment whilst conducting a multiple year home & job search). The guests included their ~100 year old parents, married for 75years and his brother, his only sibling. Such a lovely, beautiful, and kind family. At 100, more family holidays are behind you than in future, so really wanted to send something special to them. (see below) My friend had just barely finished unpacking everything from storage and getting the house prepared for her guests. She arrived home later than planned from too many errands in a new area & grocery shopping. When she saw the arrangement on her doorstep, she said she brokedown crying bc it was so beautiful and it would make the table so special & beautiful. Mind you I had only ordered it a few days prior bc It took awhile to find what I was specifically looking for, a centerpiece arrangement that would be in a cornucopia basket. It was a thing growing up in the 70's, our Mom's had this type of basket that was put on the table every Thanksgiving yet somehow times change, and many moves later no basket. They now had one again, and said it brought back all the good memories from many childhood family Thanksgivings.

I get the story of flower sizes vary but sometimes it's significant vs just noticeable. Last funeral- delivery was late and barely made it in time due to "traffic" they are 2 lights down the road. Got a smaller bouquet of yellow roses at Safeway that looked in better shape to take for the memorial vase we were headed up to rather than a last min additional bouquet from this business. This funeral's flowers were ready and kept refrigerated by them for us but the lollies and roses were already tinged with some browning on the edges.

I talked colors with Montse ahead of time but had no idea what the bouquet would actually look like since she uses whatever's in season.

I wish I could keep it pristine forever, it makes me so happy and the bouquet has seriously been the thing I've gotten the most compliments on in all my wedding pictures. Thank you so, so much Montse! And I whole heartedly recommend Bloomsbay for all floral needs.
