I rarely leave reviews but Orchid Florist really deserves one for their exceptional arrangements…read more In August, I had to place a phone order from the US for 2 flower arrangements (SILKEN SERENITY CASKET SPRAY and GLORIOUS FAREWELL SPRAY in white to match the casket spray) for my mother-in-law's funeral in Toronto, Canada. From the moment I made the call, Orchid Florist was attentive and compassionate, guiding me through the selection process with patience and care. They ensured on-time delivery with the email confirmation. This extra step (the email confirmation), gave us peace of mind during a time of great stress and uncertainty. The flower arrangements they provided were not only beautiful but also a true testament to their dedication to their craft. The flowers were incredibly fresh and vibrant, and they added a touch of beauty and elegance to the service that was deeply appreciated by our family and friends. I was simply amazed by the quality of their flower arrangements. Even after two days, as we gathered for the burial service, the flowers retained their stunning beauty and freshness. During such a challenging time, it's reassuring to know that there are businesses like Orchid Florist that genuinely care about their customers and the quality of their work. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking not only beautiful flowers but also professional and reliable service.

These are the Mother's Day flowers I sent to my mom -two of the photos were the flowers the day they arrived and then one of the flower photos was 10 days later.

I remembered I needed to pick up some flowers for a birthday gift when I was out in Markham. I…read morequickly looked up a few shops and Blooms was one of the few in the area that was open before 2pm. It looks like they have a backroom where they prepare most of the flowers. When I walked in, a doorbell chime went off and a staff member was quickly out to help me. I told her about my situation and she asked a lot of good questions like who the bouquet was for, what was their relation, if they had favourite colours or flowers, to help narrow down what the ideal arrangement would be. Next, she asked for my budget. Once I decided on an amount, I was rung up ahead of time. It is a little spooky to pay ahead of time without an idea of what you're getting but I was sort of in a pinch without any other options. She let me know that they'd need about 30-45 minutes to pick something up and that she'd give me a call when they were ready. They were done in about 40 minutes sand I received the call to come by. The bouquet was absolutely gorgeous! The front room has a refrigerated case with some flowers but I don't think that is there entire inventory because there was a huge variety of stems in my bouquet than I saw displayed. I can't describe how pretty it was with the assortment of lilies, roses, and greens that were in there. I was there for the unpacking of the flowers and the wrapping was expertly done. There were several layers of paper and they were matching with the flowers and very high quality with a nice texture. The flowers were really packed in water so they didn't wilt on their 3 hour journey around the GTA. They were also trimmed so there was nothing to do except put them in a vase and sit back to admire them!

We weren't too sure what kind of bouquet we wanted, so we just told the owner that we wanted something for a young lady for a birthday, with a fresher and summery feel. She knew exactly what to do and gave us an example of what she thought. Came to pick it up the next day and the bouquet was beautifully done and very full! It was about $60 and she gave us nice, straight-forward directions on what to do to keep the flowers until we gave them. Excellent service, quick and effective. Gave me a strong sense that they knew exactly what they were doing, and that they were good at what they do. Will be back in the future for any of my floral needs.

I could not be happier with my experience at Helen Blakey Flowers. I live in the US and was looking…read moreto have some flowers delivered to my mom for her birthday. I did a quick Yelp search and found a few options - the photos of Helen Blakey's arrangements were most in line with my aesthetic and very reasonably priced for delivery. I ordered the Teleflora's Pretty Pastel Bouquet - Standard and made a quick note in the comments section about what I liked most about the arrangement. The online system was very simple to use (it looks like many florists use the same system) and I placed the order on Mar 10, 3 days in advance of the desired delivery date of Mar 13. I was a little apprehensive about placing an online order with a florist without any verbal/email communication but decided to give it a chance - and am so glad I did! The arrangement my mom received was absolutely stunning and even more beautiful than I expected!! I didn't specify a delivery time - the arrangement was delivered in the afternoon on the day requested. My mom has texted me multiple times about how much she loves the flowers and even said (and I quote): "I think these are the most beautiful flowers I have ever received in my life. The pleasant colours, the aroma, the charming delivery driver, the ribbons on the packaging ..." The arrangement & overall experience brought her so much joy! Helen Blakey Flowers is definitely going to be my go-to Toronto florist now & I may even look into using them for my Toronto wedding next year! THANK YOU to the Helen Blakey team for such a great experience :)

I completed the order process online, which was quick and simple. I requested for the delivery to be made after 4:00PM and the Helen Blakey team did a great job to meet my expectation. In addition to making a note on the delivery card to deliver as "late as possible," the individual that delivered the bouquet asked the security guard of the building to hold on to the bouquet and contact the recipient at a later time than when they actually dropped it off. The flowers were fresh and beautiful. I couldn't be more impressed with my experience and I look forward to placing future orders!

I decided to go with a local, independent shop, and I'm glad I did. Their website featured several arrangements, but I wanted to make sure that what I ordered was actually going to look like what I was seeing online. I called the shop and spoke to Eugene, who was very friendly and patient while helping me choose something. I admit I was a bit frazzled and emotional, so I really appreciated his guidance. Not once did I feel rushed. The flowers arrived today, and I was told they were absolutely beautiful. What a relief! I mean, sometimes you send flowers, and it doesn't even look at all like what you're promised. I'd definitely recommend this shop.

They set the expectation that the flowers would not be delivered same day, and it was totally understandable as it was the day before Christmas. It was so nice of them to tell me ASAP and gave me a realistic update, and made sure that they would be delivered on Dec 27th. On Dec 26th, I found out that my co worker has already gone home from the hospital and I needed to update the delivery address, so I emailed & left them a voicemail. Even though the shop was closed for the holidays, I still received an email confirmation about an hour later and I was rest assured that address would be updated. It was a great experience with Metro Florist inc from start to finish and I would definitely re-order from here again in the future :)

This florist changed my order completely! It was unrecognizable! When I arrived I could not find my arrangement, I had to check each arrangement. I called and was very upset - they were unapologetic and quite frankly rude - I was not contacted to say that they could not fulfill my order and perhaps we could do something else as I would have expected. The flowers sent were of good quality but it was not what I ordered and I spent well over 200 for the arrangement. The manager called and spoke with me then sent me a 6 inch poinsettia as an apology!

She is thee best it's a visual treat to walk into her shop and no matter what it's like outside it's warm and welcoming at Rheas beyond the great quality and selection. There's wonderful aroma to breathe in the second you open the door. Something that just can't be bottled, nature at it's best, makes me smile anyways. My family has purchased everything from wedding flowers, funeral arrangements to the boutonnière and the corsage I brought my date at my high school graduation. Today I was in and purchased a wonderful Christmas wreath for my Grandparents grave. I always like to get something unique like my Baba and this year Rhea suggested one with Magnolias blossoms w/leaves and pine cones. Perfect! The owner is a wonderful woman wrapped my wreath in cellophane and attach to a wreath stand (to protect it from the weather) all I had to do was push it into the ground at the cemetery. What more could I ask? There's always a great variety of house plants too so I like to pick up a little treat for myself. Today I purchased a Japanese fern for only $8 I'd recommend anyone needing Christmas arrangements to make their way to Rheas quick!

I ordered an expensive upgraded arrangement and their Luxe largest upgrade option, and requested that it resemble the photo. What was delivered was a small unimpressive (poor quality) bouquet that looked nothing like what I ordered. The flower selection was cheap, and the overall quality was far below what I expected for the price. On top of this, within 24 hours the cheap flowers were wilting. I had high hopes based on their reviews, but this was a major letdown. Unless this was an isolated incident, I'm left wondering if their high ratings are fake.
