I placed the order online, scheduled pick up, and moved on with my life. Unfortunately, I received an email about 5 days before I was due to pick up the arrangement essentially advising that my selection was no longer available because the flowers wouldn't be in season the month of December. Huh? They explained that they would do their best but I asked for a refund instead. Apparently there was a website issue that allowed the purchase to go through but shouldn't have. Disappointed and frustrated, I placed a last minute birthday order with a large corporation and tried to put the matter behind me. Well color me surprised when the Flowers & Fancies team sent me an arrangement to apologize for the error. I was shocked, surprised, and necessarily reminded that mistakes happen and it's best to have patience and understanding, especially for local, well meaning businesses. The arrangement provided is gorgeous and makes the one I ordered from a large corporation just doesn't compare. Thank you to Heather and the Flowers & Fancies team for making it right. I look forward to supporting in the future.

We got so many stories that I'm not sure what actually transpired at this point. At one point, they said they delivered them (after they told us they didn't deliver to the area) but were told there was no delivery and they couldn't provide a name or signature. They also told us there were other vendors we should blame, yet their email and address was on the paperwork. It was very embarrassing and to miss on such an important event as a funeral is not acceptable. The flowers that were ordered through the funeral director were delivered and very mediocre at best.

We're on the West Coast with a dear friend on the East Coast. This arrangement was for our friend's 90th birthday.

Our friend texted us this photo of her birthday bouquet, saying, " ... what a gorgeous arrangement. The colors are so feminine and beautiful. It was a total surprise ..."

If you read the reviews, the most recent review was posted 4 years ago. For the most part, the…read morereviews were positive. However, after a recent visit to Blue Iris Florist in Catonsville, I can see why there have been no recent positive reviews. Being prom season and an advocate of shopping locally, I wanted to purchase a corsage for our daughter's upcoming prom. A sign on the door indicated that they do not carry corsages, flower crowns etc. for the prom season. Knowing this, I went inside anyway to ask the florist if they knew of any other florists in the area that carried corsages. Could I have simply Googled "florists who carry corsages?" Of course! But, I wanted to ask a "professional" their recommendation for another florist. It's akin to asking a chef for a good restaurant recommendation. To my surprise, I was met with a sharp, " I don't know what others florists carry!" I unfairly was under the assumption that florists are polite, cordial and respectful. Until now! Taken aback by her response, I asked her if corsages were still a "thing" as I went to high school eons ago! I was met again with a, "sir I don't know what other florists carry?" Seeing this was going no where, I thanked her and left the shop. Who knew that a florist could be that unpleasant? I understand the competitive basics of pure capitalism and not wanting to help the competition but this was different. I was a potential customer. They couldn't provide the service that I needed, which is fine. I asked where I could go or who could they recommend and was met with disdain and disrespect. I was simply a dad trying to get his daughter a corsage for prom. You can surround yourself with beautiful flowers and objecs and that's just window dressing on the outside. But no amount of flowers can hide your pure ugliness on how you chose to interact with me. You've made my decision to take my future business elsewhere very easy. So, thank you! That being said, I'm willing to give you some leeway in that perhaps I caught you at a bad time? Maybe my situation, is a one off? But, If you did this to every customer, how do you expect to stay open? And frankly, not being aware of what your "competition" is doing Is just bad business. PS- If anyone needs a corsage or prom flowers, Radebaugh's in Towson was pleasant, helpful and professional. I'm picking up my daughter's corsage on Saturday! PSS- I did not select a star rating as I felt they did not deserve one. However, Yelp wouldn't let me post until I did!
