I am extremely disappointed with Designs by Janice florist and what they sent me to give my wife on Valentine's Day! I looks horrible compared to what they have pictured on their website! I probably would have done better going to Publix or Kroger. I expected way better from a florist. Never again! read more

Would not recommend!! Didn't have the best experience with this florist. I thought since they were in the neighborhood and local they would be a great choice. I previously used them approximately 4 years ago for a corsage for my son's prom. It turned out nice and I was pleased. Moving forward they were my go to choice so I highly recommended them to my mother for my dad's funeral arrangement. She ordered soft, pastel flowers with white lilies. When I picked up the arrangement the day before the funeral I was highly disappointed in the arrangement with all bright colorful flowers like it was a spring bouquet. I didn't say anything because it was closing time and I didn't want to upset my mother since it was already an upsetting and traumatic situation for the family. The $$ she paid for the arrangement was not worth what she received especially for a funeral. My mother later voiced her disappointment in the arrangement and stated that's not what she asked for not what she expected for her husbands funeral. A few months later I called the florist a ask for a printed itemized receipt that I needed to turn into a company of expenses my mother incurred to pay for my fathers funeral.They originally sent a text receipt. Not friendly or cooperative nor willing to help or accommodate us in anyway. Not willing to write up a receipt or come up with anything I could turn in based on the text receipt I received. Said they couldn't prove I even purchased from them (even with the receipt I had to show them they sent me). She kept trying to get me off the phone I asked to speak to the manager and she was there as well stating the same thing. They brushed me off and refused to help in anyway. Highly disappointed on such unprofessionalism especially from an owner to not accommodate a customer especially at a sensitive time. By the time I stayed on the phone asking for their assistance they could of already had something printed up. It would have taken less than 5 minutes or less to come up with a receipt. Will never use or recommend their services to friends, family, neighbors or anyone in the future. Will actually mention my bad experience with them. read more

Ordered flowers in February for my daughter as she had a baby. They were almost dead. They said it was because of Valentine's Day and redelivered another. Now mid July I had a charge on my card for almost $80 I called and they said they forgot to charge it in February. They never called just ran it. So unprofessional. They caused overdraft fees. Never do business with them. Poor business procedures. read more

Ordinarily, placing a birthday arrangement order in Virginia from 2500 miles away (Los Angeles, CA) is a worrisome task... Picking a shop is a bit like shooting ducks in the dark, you only hope you made the right choice and they get the order right. Well, finding Designs by Janice on Yelp took all that worry away. When I called the store, I had forgotten about the three hour time difference between us and even though the shop was closed, the owner, Janice Davis was still there and took my order. She could not have been nicer, been more accommodating or made it easier. Not a detail was missed.... The bouquet was beautifully artistic and delivered on time exactly as requested. It's such a pleasure to work with people who care about their product and offer really amazing customer service... Thanks to you Janice and your staff for such a pleasant experience. read more

I thought buying directly from local florist website would give me a more accurate representation of the floral arrangement. Not so much. Way more green, and not as pretty as the version online. Still, the mother was happy so that's good. Didn't save much going through local vs online. Also, they didn't include my card message which was disappointing. Luckily the family assumed the flowers were from us. read more

Most gorgeously designed bouquet of fresh cut flowers I've ever received. This bouquet also lasted longer than any I've ever received. Beautiful white and pink lilies and many more. read more

Very disappointed I called 40 minutes ago to see if they were open until five and they said yes. It is 430 and they're closed and the door says they're open until five now I'm scrambling to find another place to get flowers for an event first thing in the morning. Not happy. read more

I received an arrangement which had obvious brown roses. I was treated as if I was not telling the truth. They did send another arrangement but it was thrown together and other flowers were brown and wilted even tho this time the roses were fresh. There were actually plastic flowers in this arrangement. I was told by Janice they would come pick it up and they did not. I did not hear back from Janice so I called the next day and was told they could not 'make me happy' and hung the phone up on me. I tried to call back to and they let the call go to a recording which would not take messages. Very poor arrangement, very rude people. read more

Ordered flowers for my daughter for the long weekend after Valentine's Day to avoid the rush and so she could enjoy them over the long weekend, since she can't take flowers to her office. 1. The didn't get delivered on the date specified. 2. That fact didn't stop them from sending me a delivery confirmation. 3. When I didn't hear from my daughter, I had to call her and ask if she got them, blowing the surprise. 4. I responded to the delivery confirmation, asking the flowers be delivered on Friday for the next weekend. But they delivered them on Monday anyway. 5. They assured my local florist, who I'd ordered through, that they would be delivered before noon. They arrived around 2 pm. Need I say more? read more

I only give 4's, even for a really great experience, but I wish I could give this one a 6. I just had the best experience I could have imagined. I called on a Saturday, from the west coast with an urgent need to get a sophisticated floral arrangement for a special occasion. I spoke with Shirley. She was able to create something tasteful and reasonably priced for my discerning and elegant recipient. She took my order over the phone, arranged a special delivery and met all my unusual requirements for height, depth, color, and fragrance. This shop should teach customer service and quality to florists (well maybe to anyone in retail) everywhere. If you need an arrangement for anything, please consider Designs by Janice and tell Shirley hello for me. read more

Beautiful floral arrangements and they arrive timely to the recipient. I have sent flowers twice and they have been pleased with the arrangements sent to them. read more

Was planning to order flowers for a friend in VA after surgery from all the way in Florida and wanted to find a local, reliable florist. Very happy with Designs by Janice! I called twice to ask questions and they were responsive, patient and more than willing to help arrange something. Ordered the flowers online for the next day, and a gorgeous bouquet was delivered right to her door, our friend was so happy with it! Glad to help support a small business and know you're getting good customer service/product read more

Absolutely a joy! Ordered flowers for my sister who loved to garden and over the phone from a few hours away! My sister loved them And so did my budget. I was able to Make my sister happy and it's all thanks to this great florist! Thank you! read more

If you order from here, I suggest you call to ensure that it does NOT include fake greenery. I will never order from this florist again. I paid $70 for an arrangement with SIX real flowers (3 red roses and 3 daisies), and FAKE greens. The delivered product was no where near as full as the photo. I listing mentioned that there would be daisies, roses, and carnations, however there were no carnations. I understand there is some variation, however I am extremely disappointed that this included fake greenery and that it was not disclosed that it would include fake greenery in the listing. read more

Ordered flowers by phone late Friday afternoon from across the country for a Saturday delivery. I had some specific requests regarding types of flowers, scent, etc. Janet did a spectacular arrangement and even sent me a pic of flowers. All at a very reasonable price. Amazing service. Wish she were in my city. read more

This place has terrible customer service. I ordered a bouquet to be delivered to a business for Valentine's Day and I called the morning of to confirm and they said that because they were closed the day before their behind so they couldn't guarantee me being delivered on Valentine's Day and told me that they could do it the day after which is completely pointless. She said that she would give me a refund When they got to it and they did not care that I was canceling my order. This is my first time ordering from them and I will never do it again. It was a simple Valentine's Day bouquet With two balloons. She told me that she could not help me because she did not read the order right and did not know that it was a business that it was being delivered to even though I put that on the order. They were very unprofessional and I refuse to do business with them again. They refused to try to make it work with me to try to deliver it before a reasonable time and just told me that they would get to me when they had a chance. Very unfortunate that small businesses treat their customers like this It also COULD be, because the recipient was an obvious person of color , and from their attitude and unwillingness to make it right seemed like maybe they had a motive. Unsure. Update:: I ended up placing an order through edible arrangements at 1pm & they confirmed delivery would be possible for 4pm SAME DAY. It's unfortunate that this small business gave me such a hard time that I had to resort to a corporate business. Maybe this will be a lesson learned for them to step up their customer service & work harder & better. Maybe think about hiring more people.. read more

What a lovely surprise! An absolutely gorgeous floral arrangement was delivered for Mother's Day. The flowers were so fresh and amazingly fragrant. They made the house smell wonderful. Additionally, the display had a nice variety of flowers i.e., roses, hydrangea, lily, freesias and stocks. True artistry in floral design. I will definitely be utilizing this business in the future and hope my boys continue to send me more incredible surprises! read more

I put in an order online from California after hours. I was shocked when my mom in Virginia received the delivery and custom card the next morning-- and the arrangement gorgeous! Fast, thorough service, and beautiful designs. So glad I could support a local florist during COVID-19, too! read more

A friend ordered BALLOONS for my birthday through an online service which was fulfilled by Flowers by Janice. Delivery was attempted on Monday while I was not home. I received a voicemail from an employee letting me know they attempted delivery and it is now my responsibility to come pick the delivery up from their shop OR I can pay a $12 re-delivery fee. I called to inquire because this is an uncommon practice in my experience in working with florists (and any delivery service for that matter) and was then connected to Janice herself where I simply asked if their delivery driver had any delivery near me to avoid paying a $12 fee. I was told no. The order was placed through a 3rd party who takes a cut of the purchase leaving her with no profit. If she were to redeliver without charging $12 she would lose money. With ZERO profit margin off of flowers, I'm not sure how she stays in business on just delivery fees, but I digress. She then became unprofessional, rude and combative telling me next time it would be better to contact the florist directly. I then suggested eliminating the practice of obtaining business through a 3rd party because she makes "zero profit" or loses money on these transactions. Her response? "I MAKE THOSE DECISIONS!" and then she hung up on me. Another recommendation I'd like to make is to steer clear of this flower shop if you'd like your gifts delivered or prefer to speak with a professional and capable adult. read more

Disappointed. Ordered Deluxe ($20 more) but what we got seems more like basic version. Description of flowers on the site said "10 red roses and four stems of pink oriental lilies in a contemporary vase with a dazzling free-form ring motif. Sure, it's a little extravagant. Think of it as love insurance. The impressive bouquet includes red roses and pink oriental lilies accented with assorted greenery. Delivered in a contemporary glass vase with a sculpted ring design and featuring a weighted base." Arrangement was delivered on time and included 12 roses instead of the 10 advertised which was good. Flowers looked fresh but overall was disappointing. Vase was basic metal and not the "contemporary glass vase" indicated. No greenery and not a design. Was just a bunch of flowers stuck into a vase with very little if any arranging/design and certainly not deluxe. Paid just over $130. My son ordered flowers for his girlfriend for about half the price and was twice as nice. This was the first and likely last time I will use this florist. read more

The individual who assisted me (over the phone) was a delight to work with and the experience was quite pleasant. She answered all my novice flower questions and also remained patient while I fumbled around trying to find the delivery address. Speaking of the delivery... I called in the early afternoon and they were able to deliver the flowers on the same day locally. After this experience I don't see myself ever using a middleman for flowers again. 10/10 would order again read more

Janice really came through with a last minute decision to purchase some additional flowers for our wedding- and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend her services not only for wedding flowers, but for anything else you might need. She was kind, professional, and worked with us and our budget. I highly recommend her services. read more

Looking for something with a personal touch to say I love you or Congratulations or Happy Mother's Day? Janice puts a little something extra in her designs, I'd call it love. Always fresh flowers. Listens to what you want and offers delivery. Convenient location in the Market Square shopping center off Hull Street Road and Old Hundred Road. Stop by on your way home. Probably best known for her wedding designs! read more

Fantastic service and amazing floral creations . Sent flowers recently and the recipient was absolutely delighted with the gorgeous arrangement. Excellent value; flowers exceeded expectations. Highly recommended!! read more

Janice creates loving expressions that truly speak our feelings beauteously. In an age where communicating is prevalent and being heard is diminished, That classic tradition of 'say it with flowers' is still in it's grandest main streets bloom in her shop. Tuned in is the Design by Janice servicing creative team which speaks appropriate volumes for every and each personalized occasion. The most musical of those sounds comes from the chorus of the loving recipients referrals. DBJ's crafts rise up in the joyous contribution that is shared by the senses to bring the memories into concert. read more

I hired this florist for my daughters wedding in 2011. Among the MANY problems, the most distressing were the skimpy AISLE flowers (they were to be placed on every other aisle beginning w/ the first row and were placed on the CENTER 8 rows one behind each other with EXPOSED RUBBER BANDS holding them on the church pews). When we tried to move them to every other row, the rubber bands popped leaving the flowers on the floor. When I called Janice's cell to ask her to come back and fix the aisle flowers she insisted it was correct and done per the contract and she was on the opposite side of town setting up for another wedding. She did not want to come back and fix this. She finally did come back, right before the ceremony. The bridesmaid bouquets were not what we asked for and looked terrible, old and droopy. At the reception, I had paid for flowers for every dinner table. There were 3 tables with no flowers at all. The mother of the groom was so embarrassed that the flowers Janice provided for the rehearsal dinner were such "tiny" arrangements. Not at all what she was promised. I could add more to this saga but I will stop here. It's horrible thinking back on the MANY flower snafus. Janice Davis is truly the worst florist. I can not even think back to my daughters wedding without thinking of how horrible and expensive the flowers were. I will never use her again and tell all of my friends whose children are getting married to stay away from Janice Davis. Worst florist ever. read more

I have ordered flowers twice in he past two months from California. My dear friend who I sent them too, sent me pictures of the beautiful arrangements. I will definitely be ordering from there again. I would give this place more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you for taking good care of me. read more

Janice was great and her flowers were awesome! (You never know what you will get online and across the country these days.) I highly recommend her and her services. Thank you so much, Janice. I will do business with "Designs by Janice" again. read more
