A Valentine's Day arrangement.
JP G.

This has been my second year working for Given Erwin for Valentine's Day and both times I've been very happy. The owner- Cindy, went above and beyond and handled things so I could mail her a card and some earrings to be delivered with flowers, and things went off without a hitch. She was in regularly communication with me throughout the process so I knew when things arrived (the earrings came in at the last minute - phew!) and made me feel like a valued customer. I suppose I should mention - the arrangement came out looking amazing as well.

bridal bouquet from 1st review

I'm not certain how long ago Given Erwin opened up shop. My now-husband discovered the florist shop one Sunday morning when leaving La Cascia's parking lot. He wandered in on a whim and met the proprietor who wound up giving him some free flowers after a nice discussion. Since then whenever he went to get me flowers, he'd go there and I would have a lovely, fragrant, long-lasting bouquet to decorate my house with. The real test came when I got married. We wound up pushing the wedding up by 10 months (thanks, Massachusetts, for penalizing those of us who can't afford COBRA insurance). I had resigned myself to not having any flowers at the wedding due to time and money constraints. My future mother-in-law offered to buy me a bridal bouquet, so we went to see Cindy at Given Erwin. She had one week in which to put together a bouquet. When my then-fianc walked in to ask if she could pull it off she said, "When's the wedding? Because as long as you have 10 minutes I can make this happen." She sat with me and brought me plenty of books to look over. I will say she has no portfolio of the work that she has done herself, only stock books (and every bride will have read in every bridal magazine ever that if she has no portfolio pics you're supposed to walk out right away, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Glad I said screw that and went with my gut). However, as it was right before Christmas I could see the ongoing work for the holiday bouquets she was sending out. She was patient with us and friendly, she offered advice but was never pushy, and presented me with a stunning bouquet on my wedding day. Her prices were reasonable, the flowers were open and healthy, the scent was phenomenal and her style is lovely. The bouquet did not look smushed nor was it too spaced-out. I opted for a "Free Style" bouquet and it was perfect. I would recommend that anyone try this florist out - she's accommodating, friendly and talented.

$100-150 funeral arrangement... you can judge yourself.

This is my opinion of the events concerning my order. My Godmother died very suddenly and I had to fly to Boston for her funeral. I called and told the owner I was coming from out of town because I was ordering them in the airport, I ordered two arrangements. I asked one for my mother that said Sister, and another from myself that said Goddaughter. I asked her if she had lilies and daisies for my arrangement because those were her favorite, daisies were a must. I asked for both to be between 100-150$ each. At the funeral I had to give a eulogy and following three day stay with family was emotionally draining. Then I had over a 24 hour layover in DC returning to North Carolina. When I finally got caught up on work I called to complain about the horrible $100-150 childlike arrangement that was sent to the funeral home (which was 8 days after the funeral) Not only did she tell me, "If you didn't like the arrangement why didn't you call me that day?" to which I said UMMMMMM I was at my GODMOTHERS FUNERAL (next time I know to call before or after I give a Eulogy) but she then told me I should have called the next day or when I got back from NC to which I responded, I was with my 35 cousins and 9 aunts and uncles trying to piece our lives together, I'm sorry that then I had to catch up on work where I take care of 140 frail and elderly residents in a nursing home and the funeral flowers were the least of my worry when considering in addition I'm now afraid of mother and grandfathers' health. She responded with, most people would have found the time... Lesson Learned: Next time I know A) not to order flowers here and B) if I don't like the flowers I order for a funeral after the eulogy, but before I go back to work to make sure that my frail elderly residents are taken care of, happy and in good health I should call the florist and complain. NOTED. I could have gone to Market Basket and bought these flowers and stuck them in this vase myself for much less and probably would have looked a million times better in my opinion. AVOID this place, unprofessional, rude and poor sloppy quality is the experience I felt like I had. arg.

Jenna did an amazing job with our wedding flowers. We were on a budget and only wanted to do…read morebouquets, corsages, and bouts with her. She never tried to make us go over budget and was able to use the exact flowers I wanted within our budget. She delivered them right to our venue and even tied a charm to honor my late mother onto mine for me. She is amazing and it was easy to tell that she just wanted us to be happy! I highly recommend using her for your wedding flowers

I worked with Jenna at O'Malley's in February on a very large centerpiece I needed for an upcoming…read moreexclusive bridal show. I sent her a few pictures from Pinterest of the type of bouquet I was looking for and I needed it to go on a candelabra. I am creative but I honestly couldn't figure out how to get the flowers to ring the candelabra correctly and still be able to transport it and my time was running short. She graciously agreed to go that day to the flower market and get the silk flowers and have the centerpiece ready for me in 48 hours. When I got the centerpiece from her it was exactly what I wanted and she arranged the flowers in such a way that I was able to transport it easily. She added a few bling elements completely free to help make the piece sparkle and she offered to take them out if I didn't like them. I loved them and it really made the whole piece come together with the exact look I was going for! I was so happy with it that I changed my plans on another show I had coming up and asked her to make me another centerpiece for that show. I told her glitzy beach theme in cream, white & teal blue and she nailed it. I'm the type of person who knows what I want when I see it, but have a very hard time communicating what I'm looking for to service providers. Jenna really went above and beyond to listen to me and help bring my vision to life. I received hundreds of compliments from brides on the two pieces she created. I hope I have an opportunity to use her services again in the future!

We took some time deciding who we wanted to use for flowers, so we didn't contact Misty at Nectar until a month before our wedding. First we had a phone call with her to discuss some ideas and send her some pictures. We then met with her at her studio where she had taken our ideas and converted them into a vision board. She went over everything, told us which flowers would look best depending on season, and showed us some other ideas. The fact that we only had a month left was never an issue. We had a general idea of what to expect on our wedding day, but we were blown away by Misty's execution. We got bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, as well as flowers for the arbor and the aisle during the ceremony. We were so happy that our venue was able to reuse the aisle and arbor flowers for the reception because they were so beautiful. We can't wait to get all of our wedding pictures back so we can admire the flowers some more. We strongly recommend Nectar to anyone getting married in the Boston area.

At the recommendation of the funeral director, I contacted Derby Farms on Friday 7/31 to order…read moreflowers for my brother's funeral. I spoke with Lucinda. At my brother's request he wanted a simple wake with minimal flowers but we wanted one for "Brother" and "Uncle". I explained I wanted something simple and more nature/natural than standard arrangements. My request was something I could look at and see same and/or similar flowers (think wildflowers) I would see on a walk. I also wanted it to be large enough without being gaudy and to make it something that would draw your eye to it and away from his simple pine box. Lucinda explained what she could offer and how it would be arranged and we talked about the pros and cons of keeping something like that fresh for the time we needed. I was not disappointed. The two arrangements were naturally colorful with an assortment of different types of flowers and displayed so beautifully. But what caused me to write this review is what happened at the cemetery. Almost immediately after they were put on the gravesite, bees began lilting on it, going from bud to bud. I felt that they were drawn to flowers that were not loaded up with chemicals to make them last longer and were obviously fresh enough that the bees found them tasty! it was a sight and more than a few people commented. I want to thank you for making the send off for my brother a little easier to bear knowing we did the best to make his burial as "green" as we could.

Their designs are always lovely, really creative and appreciated by sender and recipient alike…read more Delightful people, we've been using them for years and will continue to do so.
