Used Greenpoint Florist for my wedding in January 2008, I was so upset with the results I am writing a review over a year later. My order was simple, blush colored roses.....one bridal bouquet, two corsages, two pin-ons, two small bouquets, one bridal centerpiece(not to large ie. dozen roses), and fresh loose roses for the cake. Cost 400$ which was reasonable, given it was a wedding, and all could have been done with less than five dozen blooms. When my flowers were delivered to my house the DAY OF THE WEDDING....there was one white bridal bouquet, whichwas dying, the edges were briwn, two yellow rose bouquets and carnation corsages. After callng the florist and yelling about the confusion, he sent me all white rose substitutes reporting that all the blush roses arrived wilted. I felt that the proper business response would have been to call me and discuss my optons for replacement, not just wasting my time by sending what he felt "would do". The white rose replacements earned the one star. I did not want white roses, they did not compliment my color scheme, butfor an hour before the wedding tey did the job.
When I arrived at the recption hall I was appalled to see the only flowers I ordered were carnations sprayd to color. I wouldnt buy carnations for a grave,so ther was no way i wouldpurchase them as the sole centerpiece at my wedding (the remaining tables had candles). Matters got worse when my wedding cake was revealed as having tulips and babysbreath. This florist clearly gae me whatever he felt he had leftin the store. Who would send tulips for a wedding cake for a wedding in January! I considered bringing this florist to small claims court, if it wouldnt take so much time to get back a measly 400$. I instead have decided to never return and family and friends have been convinced to do the same. So in the long run this business loses all of our business, which is quite alot as I regulary purchased flowers weekly for the cemetery and host many events that require flowers. There are many other florists local that offer the same conveniences such as delivery, and the quality is far superior with them.
FYI I coincidentally received a mothers day bouquet this year delivered to my home (gerber daisies, my favorite flower:) and by the next day almost all were drooping and turning brown, when i questioned the sender where they were ordered from......surprise none other than the Greenpoint Florist! What a shocker...Thumbs down Greenpoint Florist! read more
