Here goes: if you want flowers - for an event or just…read morea bouquet delivered to your beloved, Rebecca of Flowers In Hand is the only person you need contact. I've had the pleasure of working with Bec on two occasions now including our recent Yelper Party where she took a concept from brief to installation with creativity and grace. She understood the theme instantly and added a true sophistication to my event. Her ethos of only working with locally available blooms and greens is to be admired as is her desire to teach us all the ways to weave blooms into our everyday life. Best of all her work is affordable and accessible to all. She works to your budget and communicates with you throughout making sure you're across all information and decisions. Her input only makes the end result better.

I've just arranged an expensive flower arrangement for a dear friend. As a group we were willing…read moreto spend $170 so we wanted something amazing. When I arrived to view the flowers before they were sent I was very disappointed that the style was not appropriate for the recipient and not what I had imagined at all. I guess this was due to semantics and communication, expectations and assumptions. I was impressed that the girls in this florist (including Phoebe) didn't try to convince me that this bunch was in fact appropriate. Instead, after some apologies for crossed-wires about expectations they sprung into action to create a new bunch very much different from the first. They did well to stay patient and attentive despite me being a very contrary customer. I guess it pays dividends to bow to customers wants and needs because - well - here I am now singing their praises. I'm sure many florists would have railroaded me into accepting the first bunch or tried to alter it slightly. I was very pleased they wiped the slate clean and started again.

I have to thank Gabs who was very responsive to my emails, friendly, and amazing with her assistance. I asked her for a specific delivery and she made it happen. Thanks Gabs to you and your team!! My wife loved the flowers and they looked just like them online, maybe even better in person to be honest.

Not looking like the photos, nor good value for money. Can buy anywhere else for less and better.read more

This is the first time I have used Flowers in the Field even though the shop has been in my…read moreneighbourhood for many years. Having been disappointed by my usual florist the last two times I decided to take a chance on someone new. As I needed two bunches of flowers for my uncle's funeral (one for the casket and one for my aunt), I wanted something very beautiful. I called up and Kristy was more than happy to help me. Not having a clue about flowers, she was able to guide me expertly as I haphazardly try to describe what I wanted. When I went to pick up the flowers the next day, they were all I could hope for and more. The sheath for the casket was a stunning arrangement of white flowers - lillies and roses mostly - and were beautiful. The bunch for my much loved aunt was stunning and beautiful as well. The florist stayed with the 'white' theme that my late uncle wanted but the bunch had a lovely pop of colour - just enough sprinkled through the bouquet. The prices were very reasonable and I was surprised at the size of the sheath and bouquet for what I paid - they were both huge! I cannot recommend Flowers in the Field highly enough ... and yes, they are my new florist.

Bouquet Boutique is my hands down favourite florist in Brisbane…read more (and makes for a super fun tongue twister to boot!) Although seen as an expensive practice to some, I love it when my house is brimming with blooms. ...And being perfect as a gift or a pick me up I can recommend no other place for those flowery fancies than this little New Farm store. In my mind a good quality bouquet is one that lasts a decent amount of time and doesn't flake out and die on you the morning after purchase. (I'M LOOKING AT YOU SUSPICIOUS BEGONIAS FROM COLES.) ...I can happily say that some of these fresh bouquets have spent a merry week or more at home without looking to bedraggled or woebegone. As well as boasting a modern and unique perspective on floral arrangements, they also offer cool services like bringing in your own vases for custom bouquets and can build an arrangement based on your individual tastes. Located very handily on the corner of Brunswick & Merthyr, Bouquet boutique is well worth a gander when in New Farm.

I ran in and ran out with the most gorgeous blood red lily's in the whole entire world. Okay, not world, maybe Brisbane because I haven't seen them anywhere else. Lily's were her favourite flower and red meant good luck in chinese! Yay great combination. Geraldine the owner smacked the bunch together for me so quick, so professionally and so effortlessly you can tell she was a pro. I am so thankful for her accomodating me, not wanting a pre-prepared bunch either. And yes, some were only half open but these suckers lasted a few weeks. Great little florist in New Farm. Saved me many times!

Even though I go past this florist almost every day, I've only ever been inside once (Mothers day…read moreemergency!). I bought a lovely bouquet to be delivered to my mother's house and the staff were friendly, helpful, and let me pick the kinds of colours and flowers I wanted in the bouquet. They don't have an enormous variety, but the flowers they do have are always fresh and healthy. Daisy Days also sells a few little gifts like teddy bears, pot plants, and knick-knacks. I know flowers in general aren't cheap, but I have to say that I found the prices here to be a little steep (ooh that rhymes!), but for a one-off splurge it's fine. They have a sign out the front that has always creeped the hell out of me. It's a lady with a sunflower over her mouth. I've always found sunflowers a bit off-putting (I think it's that coarse, brown centre they have) and superimposing one over a woman's smiling face so that it looks like the middle of the flower is her mouth making an :o expression freaks me out. Apart from the devil sunflower woman sign, Daisy Days is always a pleasure to walk past because they change their window displays often (especially for occasions like christmas, easter, valentine's day, mother's day, father's day etc.) and they're always really pretty and original. If you can cope with devil sunflower lady and prices that aren't as low as they could be, Daisy Days is a lovely little shop in which to buy a bouquet for someone special.

We used Daisy Days for our wedding and it was the worst decision we have ever made. The staff…read morehanded us magazines that you can buy anywhere instead of showing us other weddings or bouquets they have done. After our appointment we waited a week for our quote and they had gotten every single detail of our instructions wrong. When I contacted them to inform them they were wrong, they then called me to ask me what I had already told them in writing. We thought then that the quote was all good and we had nothing more to discuss. The afternoon of the DAY BEFORE my wedding I get a call and my now husband answered and was told our flowers were good to go but wanted to discuss some things with me. When I spoke to them we found that wasn't the case at all. They were calling to find out what flowers we wanted! The day before our wedding! How unprofessional and incompetent is that. When I informed the director that I was busy she kept insisting we go over the flowers again over the phone, so I informed her that we'd been over this 3 or so times and that i would call her back as I was busy she kept on at me so I hung up on her. My father had to go down there and sort things out. So I will not be recommending this place to anybody.

I had the hair brain idea recently to send a colleague visiting Brisbane a bunch of flowers to make her hotel room feel more home-y. I'd been wanting to order from Alba for some time and this gave me just the right excuse. Despite being overseas, I was able to seamlessly place an order with Alba via their online ordering system. Within 12 hours the flowers were in the recipients hands. At Alba Roses, not only can you indulge in having beautifully arranged flowers delivered or picked up in store but you can also pair them with a sweet trinket or card (they have a range of Rifle & Co cards for example). The florists at Alba aren't into daggy bouquets filled with baby's breath. Although I'm sure if that's what you wanted they would oblige. Ashleigh and her team are professionals. They're as comfortable with the 'just because' bouquet as they are with something grander - a wedding for example. This bouquet wasn't the grandest but she still ensured it was unique and individual. I had mentioned the recipients favourite blooms and she ensured some of these were included in the bouquet. I've been looking for a go-to florist and I'm pretty sure Alba just earned the title.

Divine Flowers has to be one of the most beautiful florists I have visited in quite a while. It was…read morecoming up to Christmas when I went in, searching for a gift for my mother. There selection of plants, flowers and arrangements were simple but effective. I particularly liked their succulents growing in a glass bauble you could hang from your tree or anywhere else in your house to make it more festive. The prices at this place were not cheap however. I particularly noticed this in relation to the potted herbs they also had on sale. There are many places in Brisbane where you could get the same for less. The main draw card of Divine Flowers really is their divine floral arrangements and earthy decor available. Just browsing through this shop will make you feel relaxed and happy and they are the perfect place to pick up flowers or gifts that are a little more unique.

At the risk of being overtly cliché, Divine Flowers is actually that: divine. I think 'luxury…read moreflorist' is an apt name for them; the giftware and flowers they sell are more than your generic pots and arrangements. Every arrangement I see at Divine is beautifully crafted and presented so it looks like a masterpiece. You can choose something really simple like a gerbera arrangement and they still craft in a way that makes you realise you could never do it yourself. The flowers are really high quality and they make them according to what's in season at the time. The homewares are simple and very lovely, and they utilise their space well to showcase such a gorgeous array of flowers. They also wrap the flowers beautifully and throw in some plant food. I bought one stem to brighten my house and they were so lovely and treated me like I was buying an expensive bouquet. Such a gorgeous shop. Divine offers a great choice for weddings, Valentine's Day, Mothers' Day, anniversaries, whatever you need. Their flowers are absolutely beautiful and they obviously take the utmost care arranging them perfectly. Worth every penny in my opinion. They also do delivery at a cost according to different zones.

Despite being a small store, it houses a large number of flowers; from lillies to roses. As well as a vast collection of vases, Christmas hampers and newborn baby gifts and goodies. By far, the best aspect of this shop is the chocolate bouquet. Chocolate flowers are definitely the most thoughtful and expressive arrangement you could give. However, if edible treats aren't up your alley, you can choose your own flowers and have them arranged by the staff. They also offer free delivery around Brisbane if you put your order in online before 1pm.

I placed an order for my fiancee while she was in Brisbane for business. Spring Hill contacted me…read moredays later to tell me that the item I'd ordered was no longer available. Since my fiancee flew out less than 12 hours later I told them I wanted to cancel the order and receive a refund. Now they won't respond to me. No response. No refund. For no product. Only crooks here, go to one of the other florists nearby (there are many to choose from).
