Disappointed, first the good I ordered flowers on a Friday…read moreand they were delivered on Monday as promised ( they don't deliver on weekends) The bad news , I made the mistake of choosing Designer's Selection and ended up with a bunch of straggly daisies of various varieties but not at all what you would expect after selecting Premium and seeing the advertised displays , it looked like something I could have grabbed in cellophane at the Hy-Vee and plopped in a cheap vase for less than half the price. Maybe this is not what they usually do , just caught on bad day but still each customer can only go by their own experience and when you are paying that kind of money you expect a nice bouquet. There were half dozen nice flowers poked in among the filler tho, besides the little flowers

She deconstructed the flowers to build boutonnières for the groomsmen and bridesmaids, and they all turned out beautifully. We don't live in Iowa, so we sent her pictures of the flowers we wanted her to use and talked about different size options over the phone. She was lovely to work with, very responsive over email, and we really appreciated her talents. She even recommended a lovely flower preservation artist to have our flowers preserved after the wedding. We really appreciated Danielle and Something Chic Floral. Please support this wonderful local florist! Our photographer got some lovely shots of the flowers... those are attached. Thanks again Danielle!

She didn't push anything we didn't want; she just gave us what we wanted/needed and direction when we needed it.

The results were stunning--the flowers were perfect and we had so many compliments. Couldn't have been happier. We highly recommend Danielle if you're looking for gorgeous floral work/rental items.

Florist Paul was great and helped me on the phone and knew exactly what I wanted from my description. He assured me they would be special and delivered on time even though there was a blizzard coming their way. I didn't hear from my daughter on the delivery day and I called the floral dept. the next day to find out what happened. The security guard at her work sent them back to the other location where she use to work. Hy-Vee went out of their way to correct the issue even though they were not responsible. I spoke with florist Amy several times and she was so nice and very helpful. The beautiful arrangement was delivered within hours to my daughter. The service is above 5 stars and the arrangement was very nice. I'll definitely use them again.

A floral arrangement that costs $50 should last longer than 2-3 days!. The store gave me a $20 credit stating that roses only live 2-3 days. In my experience that has not been the case. This is twice now we have had bad luck with Hy-Vee floral. We thought maybe trying a different location would help. It did not. No more Hy-Vee floral for us. Very disappointed.

The Most Magical Flower Crown I've Ever Seen!!…read more Wildflower DSM created the flower crown of my dreams. It was vibrant, whimsical, and completely breathtaking--exactly what I envisioned and so much more. The blend of bold colors, soft wildflowers, and unique textures came together in a way that felt effortlessly beautiful and totally "me." I truly felt like a goddess wearing it. It held up perfectly from morning to night and made me feel confident, joyful, and radiant. It wasn't just an accessory--it became a statement piece that tied my whole look together and made me feel incredibly special. If you're looking for a florist who understands artistry, intention, and individuality, Wildflower DSM is it. I'll never forget how I felt wearing that crown--pure magic.

If you are shopping for an event coordinator who can sell you flowers, secure catering and…read moreentertainment and give support to the Bride and Groom - all in an established venue -Wildflower may fit the bill. As venue host of a large wedding reception at our home, I would be hesitant to recommend Wildflower as your best solution. So, this review is for those who may be having a non-turnkey event. From the beginning there were numerous opportunities and challenges related to welcoming two hundred people to a large property with an upper poolside reception area and a lower area for tenting. Execution with excellence would require experience, detailed planning, anticipation and good judgment. Wildflower did not step up to earn a five-star review. There were failures in execution. A stairway between the pool and tent was identified as a safety concern. Wildflower agreed to provide a person to guide guests but did not fully staff the area. One guest went head over heels. For some unexplained reason, the Garden Room entry where all guests would pass to the poolside was simply unready and unattended as guests arrived. We as hosts had to wipe up water spills, sweep away leaves and flower debris and place a garden flower arrangement on the table. The tent floor in one area was so slanted that dishes and glassware tumbled during dinner. One guest reported he had to place his plate in his lap to eat. And when the rain came, there was no sign of preparation or preplanning to attend to a floor that started to become a slipping hazard. There were disappointments where responsibility may be shared. Removing a second bar from the reception area leading to an unacceptable long line. The first guest comment to this host. "Too bad about the line." The last-minute cutting of balcony decorations for a "money shot" of the bride and groom. A balloon display that fizzled in the wind. The budget blew up. One-time events in locations that are not regular event venues are, admittedly, difficult. Those considering this vendor should take special care to confirm every detail of planning and execution.

Even when you receive an order that is nothing like what you asked for!!! When I asked if I could get it fixed, as it was for a big event, all I got was back talk, belittling, and a deal with it attitude. They don't want happy customers. STAY AWAY! Unless you want to waste your money, get a lot of frustration and headache. HORRIBLE BUSINESS! I am from Des Moines and I placed an order in September 2020, received October 16th.

The communication was impeccable - very available and helpful by phone and text. Kelly discussed her different products with me to help me pick the best bouquet for my mom. She had the product delivered right on time and sent a photo to confirm as promised. As asked, she included chocolates -- and even remembered to include only dark chocolate since I mentioned my mom did not like milk chocolate. At first, I was hesitant based on some other reviews, but I am SO glad I gave The Wild Orchid a try. It was top notch service and a beautiful, colorful, fresh bouquet of unique tropical flowers. Highly recommend! See for yourself (photos of flowers & chocolates)!
