I just got a "succulent bouquet" delivered to me from By the Bunch, by out of town family! It was absolutely gorgeous! They dropped it off at our front door and texted me to let me know it was there. It came in the cutest dark brown glass vase and the arrangement was so thoughtfully put together. I've always been a live plant kind of girl though vs fresh cut bouquets. I just personally like having the plant for years to remember the occasion by (yes, my house is full of plants, haha). I decided to take apart the bouquet to try to root the succulent clippings. They were all wire wrapped and then wrapped in green plant tape. I was so happy to find that once disassembled, the wiring was actually keeping little roots safe! It took a bit of time, to keep as many roots from breaking but it worked! I ended up being able to plant 3 separate pots full of the succulents from the bouquet! What a clever idea for a unique and beautiful gift. I decided to put the remaining non-succulent plants back in the little vase and it's still so charming on their own. read more

So disappointed and frankly embarrassed that these were actually delivered in my name to someone I love on such a special day. Over the years I have had floral arrangements delivered many times. Usually something in the $45-$80 range. While a few times I was a bit underwhelmed at what was delivered. I have always been pretty happy and most of the time delighted at what the florists had created. This was my first time ordering from this business. I was excited when I read their reviews and saw some of their arraignments. They noted that they often include unusual flowers in their floral presentations. I enjoy flora that is a bit out of the norm and along with the other information I read, I thought they would be able to create a lovely arrangement for my Valentine on Valentine's Day. I talked with them and requested "something bright and colorful with maybe a couple Stargazer Lillies for fragrance". I asked if they could do something nice and as described for $65 plus a $10 delivery fee. They said they definitely would be able to create something my Valentine would love. What was delivered was a total embarrassment! 3 totally closed Stargazer Lillies and a bunch of "filler plants" crammed into a narrow mouthed vase that even made adding water to the pitiful arrangement difficult. I worked at a florist many years ago and have friends that still do. I thought this arrangement was far from what was requested and not close to the value for what was charged. The people I know with and without experience in the floral industry that I showed the arrangement to were all in total agreement. This arrangement was substandard, poorly executed and over priced. I would definitely not recommend this business. read more

I have been going to By the Bunch since Rachel opened ages ago. It's my father's go to place for exquisite, unique flowers & bouquets. When I was planning my wedding I knew exactly who I wanted to do my flower arrangements and bouquets, Rachel, of course! She did an absolutely unbelievable job. I was so in love with the mixture of garden roses, ranunculus, anemones, and monkey tails. Everything was perfect, and done with great care, and attention. I could not recommend Rachel any more highly for your every day flower shop needs, or wedding / big events. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! The woman who I worked with was fantastic! She was so helpful and supportive as I was trying to navigate how to make the perfect flower arrangement for a birthday. I had no idea just how incredibly creative a person could be with floral arrangements. I literally wanted modern with a unique flair and thats exactly what I got and the birthday girl loved them. I highly recommend this place for all of your floral needs especially if you want a very creative and memorable bouquet! read more

I ordered all the way from California for someone special and it was a last minute thing, the woman who helped me was so nice and was able to fit my delivery in as soon as possible, within a few hours and the person who revived them said the bouquet was gorgeous and the shop did a great job. I am very satisfied with my experience. read more

If you're like me, you've dreamed of moving to New York City just to be able to walk out of your apartment, go down the street, buy fresh cut gorgeous flowers in brown wrapping from a small local business and carry them around while drinking coffee. (Am I showing how many times I've watched "You've Got Mail" in this review??) But alas! I've found a way to make the flower/coffee/walking dream come true while living my other dream of staying in amazing Portland the rest of my life. The answer? By the Bunch. The store, located in the heart of Westmoreland-Sellwood, is barely the size of a walk-in closet out in the new home communities of Hillsboro, but it's got more charm in it's proverbial little pinky. You'll see large potted or hanging plants outside with tubs of fresh cut flowers of all varieties ready to greet you as you walk in. Inside, you'll find tubs of single cut flowers and friendly helpful owner behind a small counter ready to help you concoct a one-of-a-kind creation. Then, GASP, she'll wrap it up for you in brown paper and after a quick pop-in at a local coffee shop, you are ready to live your New York dream! She keeps her prices affordable and also keeps her selection unique. Last time I was in, the owner said she was lucky to have found a niche in the market that let's her keep doing the cool stuff in the flower industry." She specializes in doing weddings and events as well, but she says that these are not your run-of-the-mill flower arrangements. She likes to think outside the box and bring fresh ideas and spins to the way flowers are presented, whether on a single cut or for an event. read more

AMAZING!!! I emailed Rachel after a frustrating attempt with another flouriest that was rude and blew me off. I had wasted weeks waiting to hear from someone else to do the flowers for my wedding and I was running out of time. I had originally planned on making my own bouquet, I had a idea of what I wanted and when I had weighed the costs and time of everything, I was month(s) away. Rachel emailed me back right away, we set up an appointment to meet and within 3 days had a contract signed. She was a breath of fresh air and her energy/excitement reinsured me that I was making the right choice. She worked with what I wanted for flowers and our budget. When it came down to my wedding day, her shop was closed but we arranged a secondary location for pick up. It went smooth, the bouquets and boutonnieres were stunning. She even got me peonies in late late hot July, which I had so badly wanted but knew it was a long shot. I am so glad that I came here and I will always recommend By The Bunch to others when looking for flowers. read more

We recently got married in Portland, and Rachel Galloway from By the Bunch was our florist. She was very easy to work with and she did an incredible job. The shop is a great space. When we were there we had an opportunity to see how she interacts with other customers. She was very nice and very accomodating to people and their needs. In short, when you need flowers or arrangements in Portland, this is the place to go! read more

The shop is beautiful. I love walking by and stopping in - Rachel is super friendly too. We used By the Bunch for a bridal photoshoot on Sauvie Island - the flowers were above and beyond. I appreciated her ability to hear what we were looking for but also encourage us to break away from trends and create something innovative and ultimately, much better than I could come up with myself! The result was perfect and really set the shoot apart. I loved the bouqtue, but also the centerpieces and namecard holder we featured. As a wedding photographer I see flower arraignments every weekend and Rachel's definitely stand out in my mind. read more

I ordered flowers for a friend's birthday from Rachel. We chatted on the phone for a few minutes regarding my price point and the style of flowers I like. Good sign: Rachel does not even carry carnations or baby's breath. Hurray! She was very helpful and friendly. I mentioned that my friend would not be home until late so Rachel scheduled an afternoon delivery. The flowers were just lovely. So tasteful. I loved how you can get a text message or email of a picture of the actual flowers sent. I have had a few atrocious arrangements sent in the past with other florists so it sure is nice to be able to see what you bought! I would definitely call them up again for Portland flower deliveries. They won't embarrass you by sending cheesy flowers. read more

Rachel went out of her way to accommodate my request for a very cool Cat Lady's 50th birthday--with a kitty-shaped vase (!) filled with pussy willows (!), among other lovely flowers! I couldn't have been happier, and it made my Cat Lady pal's day, not to mention that Rachel kept me apprised through every step of the process, even checking in to make sure the morning snow wouldn't preclude delivering directly to the birthday girl. Customer service with a personal touch, and then some. Strongly recommended! read more

I called requesting an arrangement for my cousins who just had their first baby. Rachel answered the phone with a smile in her voice. She patiently listened to all of my questions and made several suggestions making me feel comfortable that the bouquet would be perfect. My cousins (and my aunt, and several of the hospital staff) LOVED the arrangement! My wish to spoil the new mom was definitely fulfilled. read more

I love By the Bunch. They are close to my house, in Sellwood so I can easily pick up a beautiful bunch of flowers to go. But recently I had an event that I previously thought was 'a go', it sadly was not. I called last minute ..with low expectations...and this beautiful place was so Accommodating and I/We were SO pleased with the outcome! (pictures to follow). But more Important was how much I adore the owner and staff. They could not have been more helpful. I will from now on, do all my flower business with them. Kathi Malmquist read more

It was birthday Aug 14th and was scheduled to work that day...not really wanting to make a big fuss over turning another year older aimed to just burry myself in work and forget about it. But, nothing doing...my best friend wouldn't allow me to wallow in my midweek non-special birthday. All morning arrived these incredible emails, each with some sweet twist of words or special photo shopped pictures giving me small details as to a very special gift I was to expect soon. I was so taken aback by the wonderfully written and played out emails to even fathom the delivery of the most gorgeous arrangement of flowers I have ever saw. I can't thank you enough for helping make my midweek, non- special, didn't-want-to-count-anymore, birthday so very meaningful indeed. I began to cry right when I saw them. I knew right then, just how special and meaningful I was to someone...and this love over filled my heart so much it began to seep out of my eyes. BIG KUDOS TO YOU AND YOUR CREW for helping make my world a little brighter and better. PS. It went absolutely perfect with the theme of Where the Wild Things Are! Cheers! read more

Love this place--my go-to for all events. They design beautiful, unique bouquets with seasonal flowers.

She is an artist and a joy to work with. I gave her creative license with my bridal bouquet and it took my breath away. My favorite part of the wedding and it had almost been an afterthought for me. I adored her, and my flowers and tell anyone who will listen about this place. read more

I had them deliver flowers for valentines day, and everyone thought they were really pretty. I told them a price within my budget, and they really did the rest. Thanks! read more

The flowers were the best part of my wedding. *Sigh* I love flowers, and I'm so glad By the Bunch "got" my vision.

Rachel was fantastic. Great service! Beautiful flowers. Local delivery. Highly recommend.

I love this shop! I can always count of them to have something unique and special that I can surprise my wife with. There is truly something to be said for people who take this much pride in what they do. Thank you for giving me a reason to be happy. read more

Just down the street so I get to see the fab succulents,, cool kangaroo paw and doll parts oddities all the time. The most fun, creative lovies around. Thanks for being! read more

I own Commonwealth Vintage Rentals and I had the opportunity to work with Rachel on a photo shoot a while back. I couldn't have been more excited about what Rachel created for the shoot. We had explained our vision and what she was created was beyond perfect. She has such a creative eye and unique assortments that make her stand out amongst Portland's florist. I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a rad florist! read more

Excellent customer service beautiful flowers.

Rachel was wonderfully accommodating and did a lovely job on our flowers. We'll look forward to by the bunch being our new go-to!!

This place rocks. Rachel is excellent. Always very happy with the arrangements she puts together.

They were very helpful, beautiful flowers lasted a long time. They even sent me a picture of the arrangement. I appreciated other recommendations on Yelp and called them directly. Tip my mother the florist gave me - call the local florist instead of using an online service. Save money and have direct contact with the florist. read more

Best damn little flower shop in Portland! Rachel does amazing arrangements and her flowers are gorgeous!!!

Rachel provided all the floral (it went well beyond floral) decorations for our recent wedding. The end result far exceeded our expectations. We received numerous compliments. Rachel's ability to turn our vision into reality was amazing. She is so creative and talented. She is also a very kind and fun person. We love her cute shop too. We are so glad we chose to work with Rachel for our wedding. read more

Ordered a boutonnière for my son's prom that was perfectly understated, fresh, and half the price of the last one I bought from a North Portland vendor. Will absolutely be back for more pretty flowery things! One criticism I have is that their communication system is a bit wonky. I had to call twice to place the order then call day-of to make sure it was ready for pick up. Maybe just a courtesy call or text to let customers know their orders are processed, completed, etc. read more

I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to review By the Bunch. By the Bunch did the flowers for our wedding in September 2009; everything turned out exactly like I wanted, and the bouquets were absolutely gorgeous. Rachel really listened to me and understood what I wanted; I really wanted dahlias in shades of deep red, but with interesting and quirky touches of different flowers, berries, and greens in complementing shades of red and ivory. When I described what I was looking for to other florists, some of them just didn't listen and tried to push me towards their own preferences. My husband also loved the boutonnieres that Rachel made. Rachel was also flexible in allowing us to order the bouquets and boutonnieres while ordering the rest of the flowers in bulk. We wanted to reduce costs by arranging the flowers for the centerpieces ourselves, and she was just fine with that. She also set aside some flowers for us to use on our cake, which we picked up a day early. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend By the Bunch. read more

My husband worked with Rachel on a beautiful bouquet of flowers for our anniversary last week. It was so unique and absolutely stunning. The flowers lasted almost a full week. While I have not had a chance to visit the shop myself, I most definitely will. read more

I ordered a bouquet for a friend on the internet without ever having been to the business. They delivered a gorgeous bouquet promptly.

Rachel is GREAT! Went in for my mother's birthday and some flowers to send for valentine's day. She is very good at picking the right flowers for the right occasion! Will be bringing my business back to her VERY SOON! read more

My husband recently had flowers delivered to me for my birthday. He told them my favorite color was orange, and the bouquet I received was stunning. It looked more like something handpicked in a meadow, only better, and the vase is very nice, big and substantial. The flowers are still okay after one full week (many flowers died but the lillies are still great). He has sent me many bouquets in the last 19 years, but this was, by far, my favorite. I highly recommend this florist. read more
