Years ago I planned a professional event and needed flowers, and decided to go the easy route,…read moreordering from a vendor my company recommended: FlowersFlowers. Fast forward to now, and not only am I STILL ordering flowers from this amazing shop, I use them for all of my flower needs. Why? Because the talent, creativity, beauty, professionalism, and care that this shop gives is beyond incredible. I love the creativity and talent these artists embody, so much so that unless I am ordering for a very specific professional event, I always let them create for me. I've never been disappointed, everyone loves the creations I give them, and. I'm convinced that one holiday event is a guaranteed invite because the host knows my host gift will be something beautiful from FlowersFlowers. The staff and owner are kind and professional, and I've always enjoyed working with them. I highly recommend this shop.

I ordered the "lavish long and low" centerpiece arrangement for Thanksgiving, expecting something…read moreactually full and lavish like the pictures shown on the website. The cost was $180, with tax and delivery bringing the total cost to $213. The flowers were nice quality, but the arrangement was very, very small (10 inches long by 5 inches high) and compact, especially for this price and for a table centerpiece. Given that this was a gift for the host, I was very embarrassed. There were 13 flowers (5 roses, 3 kale, 3 anemometers, 2 protea) plus some pedestrian eucalyptus filler. I called to ask if the wrong arrangement had possibly been delivered, and was told that this was a high quality arrangement. Quality was fine, value for the $$ was very poor.

All I knew was that I didn't want tall centerpieces, but rather something that was small, classic, and elegant. Lovely and my best friend put their magic together and came up with an amazing vision for the wedding. Lovely created the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces for our big day, and I literally couldn't be happier. The flowers looked so fresh and guests raved about "how open they looked". My bouquet was the perfect size and mix of wedding colors. On top of being a creative genius, she was so easy to work with, and even did a sample for my wedding planner and myself to critique ahead of time. Communication was always super quick, and Lovely was so accommodating. She even came to the venue early to bring our bouquets for pictures and set up. Lovely, I really can't thank you enough for making our day so perfect!

It was such a refreshing, personal touch. A full week later, the flowers still looked as if they had just been delivered.

Ryan communicated every step of the way and was very responsive!
