My now-husband and I learned of GJ House through my husband's brother, who hired GJ House nearly 10…read moreyears ago (!) to provide flowers for his wedding. Come 2013 and we were looking for our own wedding florist, and we were given GJ House's contact information. Run by Gary and Jane, their florist shop is also a convenience store in New Westminster, located right along the bridal dress shop district. The store is completely unassuming, they don't even have their own website, and it seems like most of their floral business is done through word of mouth. The flowers they made for our wedding were absolutely beautiful and far exceeded my expectations (see photos!). The majority of our correspondence was done through email and phone, as we were planning our wedding long distance in Alberta (the wedding was in BC). We did arrange for an initial consultation in person as well as another meeting a week before the wedding to finalize flower type and color choices. It's always nerve wracking when planning your wedding, and even more so when you don't always know what to expect of a final product. On the day of the wedding when it came time to pick up the bouquets and boutonierres, (they also deliver to the venue for a fee), my husband sent me a photo preview and Jane was waiting and ready to make any changes. I was blown away, they were beautiful! Their prices CANNOT be beat and the bouquets, ceremony flowers, and centerpieces were gorgeous. You definitely get your bang for your buck as my bridal bouquet was huge! We received many compliments on them from our guests. We couldn't be more pleased with Gary and Jane's work and would be happy to recommend them to others.

My fiance ordered an arrangement of coloured roses to be delivered for my birthday seeing he was…read moreout of town .. he used queens park florists ..because it is walking distance from our house . now this isn't a review based off of me ordering but from the receiving end .. I was highly disappointed when I got these flowers .. the roses were just placed in the vase THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO CREATIVITY USED AT ALL!!!! now I've done arrangements for events and I ended up fixing this one after .. added some 4 dollar baby's breath from safeway .. trimmed some of the roses so they were different heights and also arranged the colours nicely ... Their customer service is good tho .. she called and made arrangements for me to pick them up because she couldn't get into my building and she stilled walked them home for me because it was heavy and I had a stroller and other stuff .. I mean my fiance technically did pay for delivery but it was still nice of her .. Also some of the red roses were dying very dark .. they didn't even take the time to pick the dead petals off .. Honestly this bouquet was 50 plus delivery and tax .. don't waste ur money go elsewhere ... safeway at new west station sells nicer arrangements in their fridge section and they also have vases for sale .. I'm sure for 50 bucks you could get a WAAAAAY better arrangement that actually utilizes some creativity and effort with a vase and the person who receives it will be happier .. Don't get me wrong I am very greatful that my fiance put the effort in .. I just feel like he wasted his money because the arrangement was such a disappointment and I ended up fixing it myself ... The two stars are strictly for customer service ... actual product gets 0 stars ...

I would give 10 stars if I could. We ordered 3 arrangements for our brother's Celebration of Life…read moreand we were the customers from hell. My sister and I didn't agree on anything! But we spent about half an hour with the florist showing her flowers we liked and explaining that we wanted beautiful and tasteful but unconventional and masculine arrangements. They really hit the nail on the head, delighting both of us. The large arrangement lasted 2 weeks. My sister's comments (to give you an idea of how hard we were to work with) - "I love that she made the flowers not exactly symmetrical. It does convey the child genius, playfulness and a bit quirky, while elegant, which is just what I wanted. The darker green works better I think, and looks more refined. They are all lovely without being ostentatious."

While looking for something that wasn't too feminine or had too much pink involved, I spotted the perfect item! My sister and brother-in-law love their dog like a child so I knew this design would be perfect for them! It was Mother's Day weekend and I had concerns about the delivery time and cost. I called this florist and the owner Christina answered my questions and asked if delivery the next day would work. The dog face design takes a bit more time to create. Impressively, there was no increase in their delivery fee, (some businesses charge a premium on Mother's Day weekend) and true to her word, it was delivered the next day as promised! The recipients were impressed and I was pleased! Would I order from here again you ask? Absolutely!

I stopped by this shop while checking out some of the cute shops in New West. This store looks…read morereally old, but I went in anyways. After checking all the other reviews, I see people love the service and flowers but in all honesty, I could not give it 5 stars. Perhaps the flowers are just not my cup of tea. Maybe I couldn't visualize the dried flowers in a vase in my home. I've created attractive, dried flower arrangements myself. When I looked at the flowers in the store, they did not look like really fresh flowers. Some of the pictures from other reviews don't show really fresh flowers, but the actual arrangements are very nice. I may give Christina a chance and stop by to pick up a small bouquet before I buy a larger bouquet. I wish I knew her pricing for bouquets of fresh flowers , but from all the items in her store, her prices were reasonable. Christina was also lovely and not pushy at all; she let me look around at my leisure. I'd like to find out more about why so many people love this place!

Fading like a flower…read more.. After the florist I have been to for over 10 years screwed up badly a few times consecutively, I decided to change (the biggest failure of any business is losing loyal decade long customers over incompetence to deliver what customers request and paid for). The first couple of times were exceptional good with my orders here. However, the last 2 times I needed to ask them to redo the whole floral arrangement and design (funny how I have to tell them what to add and how to wrap it :facepalm) I paid extra for that which I didn't mind cause most of the time we buy flowers for special occasions such as birthdays, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, etc... a decent florist or flower shop should keep that in mind. Can't just whatever with a flower order especially a customer pay good money for them (can't be the same result as me picking a few dandelions off the sidewalks, wrap it with a sandwich bag and voila.. call it the day). Anyways ordered a dozen of pink rose bouquet for a relative's birthday (preordered it a few days ahead, website said $72 but store charged me $92 before tax... perhaps update your website?) When I went to pickup the rose bouquet, I was literally speechless. It's utterly one of the worst bouquet of roses I have ever seen, I literally could've pickup one from Safeway for $19.99 and would've been 10x more pleasing to look at. The roses look as it just did a marathon at the Sahara desert, some of the leaves have bug bites and a 5 year old could've done the wrapping better. I was too embarrassed to give it as is, had to go home to put the roses in a glass vase with some water, trimmed off the bug bite leaves, rewrapped it. I would've just ask for a refund if time wasn't tight. (:facepalm) Seriously, it is unacceptable because just like I said most flower orders are for a special occasion or special someone (seldom to an ex and hope they choke on a bug). I don't need an apology or want anything in return, but please deliver a product at least presentable for what your customers paid for. Unfortunately wouldn't be a repeat for me, this was the 3rd time it failed to deliver. (maybe it's time for me to secretly borrow my neighbours roses from his rose bed and master the artistry of being a good florist). Are good florists hard to find nowadays or the creativity is fading like a flower??
