Worst $35 arrangement ever

UPDATE: The Owner contacted me and apologized for their associate not getting it right. He refunded me for the original bouquet and created an apology bouquet to the original specifications without me prompting a request. While I was disappointed in the original experience, I have to commend the owner for addressing this in a timely fashion. He messaged me Sunday directly on Yelp to schedule a followup call and suggested the refund and replacement. ORIGINAL: Never order from here, complete rip off! I requested a short pink and white floral arrangement for my goddaughter's baptism on Sunday. I brought my own vase in since we wanted a short arrangement for the reception table. I went into the shop and gave examples of requested pink and white flowers (I.e. roses, dahlias, carnation or peonies, and the standard baby's breath fillers). Instead we received an overpriced "arrangement" of six roses and baby's breathe and filler greens. This was such a disappointment for a significant moment in our family. I could have gotten a better bouquet and service from Shoprite! Requesting a refund from my credit card company and reporting this business for deceptive practices. I can't believe I wasted 30minutes of my time pointing out what flowers we wanted to not have our requests addressed. Don't waste your time or money.

Today is my birthday. Our world was flipped on its head a few months back, so needless to say there is no crazy celebration, no large party, no friends coming over... But while having a quiet breakfast of some fancy pancakes ordered from a restaurant a few blocks away, I was told I had a " delivery coming up " by my concierge. Kinda weird... everything has been left downstairs in the lobby for us to pick up; it's become the norm. The softest knock at my door; I open and this young woman, with the brightest smile and this positive energy hands me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers with a balloon attached. It's from my sister and her husband. The flowers are fresh, gorgeous and smell divine. I keep staring at them, I can't get enough. But what has made this situation even more special is this young woman. Even the slightest interaction we have with one another these days, can dictate our day, now more than ever. And this woman made this special day as bright as can be! Thank you!!

Fantastic experience ordering flowers. The arrangement had the biggest roses I've ever seen.

Expectation vs. Reality

I had a floral delivery sent via fromyouflowers.com and when the recipient received it, it was not what I ordered. It was absolutely horrible looking and did not look like the photo provided online whatsoever. It was such an embarrassment. We are recently engaged so this Valentine's Day was supposed to be super important, but you totally failed us. This is totally unacceptable and your company should be completely ashamed of the product you are sending people.  That order was cancelled and refunded through the website. BUT THE ICING ON THE CAKE was that you came back again to pick up the arrangement since the order was cancelled... you couldn't leave it alone, but had to pour salt on the wound by retrieving the shitty flowers. You can have them back, you already ruined the moment for us. I am totally upset, disappointed, heartbroken, defeated and you ruined our very special valentines day. See attached photos of the "premium" $100+ arrangement pictured online vs. what we received from you.

Love how the staff took to addressing our needs on such short notice. They were professional and sympathetic towards our needs. The flower arrangements were beyond our expectations and they arrived on time.Thank you for your kind manners and support. We greatly appreciate it! I recommend this business to anyone who wants to be treated like family.

Absolutely fabulous flowers as advertised. The recipient was very pleased. i'm only adding more…read morebecause Yelp is forcing me to do 85 characters but I really have nothing more to say. Hopefully this is at least 85 characters.

I ordered flowers online the day before I needed them. I know, a little late but I gave it a shot…read more I knew I was pushing my luck. The selection was plentiful and prices were $45+, depending on size. I chose the Deluxe Wild Child option which is the designers choice. I figured they would make something amazing. I left a note for the florist that the recipient loves bright colors, roses, and exotic flower to help with the decision. I'm in a different time zone and the day was passing by without an update. I gave Rosaspina a call and the knew exactly my order, was very pleasant on the phone, and was also eager to celebrate. I was told a photo of the flowers would be sent to me as well. The flowers were delivered an hour or so later. I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, the flowers turned out to be a piece of art. Absolutely stunning! A bright birthday bouquet that was perfect. I loved the detailed email updates, the studio photo of the creation, and the delivery was wonderful. The flowers came in a stylish square vase. Cost: $58 for standard, $115 for deluxe, and $173 for premium. $20 for hand delivery. I left a $10 tip for their excellent service. This local florist in Montclair, NJ is top tier. Thank you!

This flowers arrangement was from a previous Valentine's Day. I loved seeing how the flowers and colors worked well together. Another time was when I received a bouquet of different flowers last May. My husband has told me before the service is good and friendly. I have only seen Esmé Flowers when we drive by Cliffside Park. All forms of payment are accepted, parking is available along the sidewalks Thank you for always putting together beautiful arrangements, Esmé Flowers.

Update: The owner of this shop did not like my review - reading it too quickly too realise I had…read morewritten we did receive the bear. She called up my son in the hospital and raged that she would call the police on me because the review below was not to her liking. This really scares me. No business should be harassing the receiver of gifts no matter what. I am going to report this odd and harassing behavior to YELP. If the owner calls my son again, I will put a restraining order on her. Below is my original review, untouched: We ordered flowers from this establishment in the morning giving the lady on the phone precise details - hospital name, room number, my DIL's name etc. By very late in the day - after closing hours, flowers had yet to be delivered. We called the shop. The lady who answered made a call and discovered her driver had been misdirected by someone at the hospital to go somewhere else. He had the precise room number, address etc and chose not to double-check. Finally, late into evening, a very small flower arrangment with just okay looking flowers arrived at the hospital. Ouch. Not even in a pretty vase. The teddy bear we ordered STILL had not arrived after all this. A while later, a little teddy bear (at a very high price) arrived in a small black gift bag. Another ouch. A black gift back for a newborn baby girl's teddy? How oddly inappropriate. This is not our first adventure in ordering flowers for a DIL in the hospital giving birth. Our first flower order (in DC) for our first rgandchild was amazing. The flower arrangement was gorgeous that time and huge, the vase the flowers were delivered in ON TIME was stunning, the teddy bear, large and adorable. Same pricing but just WOW. This was not Wow. This sent the message, "We don't care that much." Ouch. We saw the photos. It was embarassing. I'm very sorry we trusted the reviews for this establishment. The lady on the phone is very nice, but there is no quality going on here. And the delivery man should learn his city. If a client says, "This hospital, this room," believe them. Do not waste your money. You will end up being embarassed. Follow up: We asked for "baby colors for a little girl." It was appropriate to expect the gift bag would not be black which represents death and Halloween to most people. There are no "bear" dimensions on the site to check. Last time we ordered a stuffed animal it was 3x the size. Saying "You should have checked on the website" is not a reasonable response. A more thoughtful answer could have been, "Sorry you were disappointed. We will put measurements up on our website for others in the future." That would have been a classy answer. If I had not followed up and checked on the delivery, out gift would have stayed at the wrong hospital overnight. The driver should have double-checked when misdirected. Without my check-in call, those flowers would still have never arrived. A no-brainer to follow through when given a specific address and room number. We looked at the photos of other flower companies and also of order we've been happy with before. For 50 dollars less, more flowers and a pretty vase were always the norm. We have the right to be disappointed and state so. With so many positive reviews for this venue, it's beyond shocking this store owner would actually PHONE my son. He did not pay for this order. His wife just had a difficult delivery. He does NOT need this tasteless drama handedd his way. It's easy enough to email back and forth privately with class. I am beyond shocked that any business owner would make such hostile and crazy choices. "I am calling the police on your mother because I didn't like her review!" OMG.
