As a former resident of Somerville, I had a long history of getting arrangements (mostly adorable little ones on the fly but sometimes big ones for celebrations) from Nellie's -- and so did my late mother! So, when it came time to find a florist for my wedding, then, I definitely wanted to have this amazing shop do the job if they felt able to take it on! We had a medium-sized wedding down at Arlington Street Church about a week ago, and Joyce and her team at Nellie's came through in the most fabulous ways!! My wife and I couldn't have been happier with the big altar arrangements, our gorgeous bouquets, the little boutonnieres and wristlet corsages for our wedding party, and the lovely smaller arrangements for the tables at our reception. Absolutely everything was just as we'd discussed with Joyce in the planning stage, delivered promptly the morning of our service, fresh, lovely, and just 100% top-quality gorgeousness. Couldn't be happier!!! Do yourselves a favor and think about Nellie's for any floral needs you might have, and if you can't think of any right now maybe even make one up :) read more

I love the arrangements best, gifts appreciated by loved ones. Their arrangements are gorgeous. They make good suggestions for flower types and design. Customer tastes respected. Got me out of a time pinch with a request an hour before closing. Beautiful. read more

Cute shop! I walked in on Saturday around noon to pick up a simple bouquet of tulips. They wrapped them beautifully with a ribbon and the total came out to $16. I loved that they had affordable little arrangements in mason jars, I'd definitely pick one up as a host gift next time I'm visiting friends. read more

We received this beautiful arrangement from Nellie's for a birthday. Joyce is wonderful to work with! Just 100% happy with the flowers and the customer service. She really takes pride in her flowers and the photos show! read more

Received a wonderful gift basket from my auntie from Nellie's. to note, it was opened and re-wrapped before I took the attached photo, when it was delivered it was packed much nicer but I forgot to take the photo. Lovely assortment of fresh fruit, chocolates and cookies. #shoplocal #shopindie read more

I moved out to California a few years back but my folks are still in Medford, so it's hard for me to see them regularly! For my moms birthday, I wanted to send her some love and wanted to find a local flower shop. Nellie's fit the bill perfectly! Ordering online (through yelp) was so so so easy! I ordered them about a week in advanced and my mom was thrilled. The arrangement looked totally stellar. Thanks for making my mom's day! read more

Joyce makes the most beautiful bouquets, fresh, colorful flowers. Great customer service. A pleasure to do business with.

Every arrangement or grab-and-go bouquet I have gotten from Nellie's has been beautiful and has lasted for at least 2 weeks. Their arrangements are interspersed with other greenery/non-flower stems which makes them so much more interesting than anything I've gotten at other florists around town. They are my (and my husband's) go-to flower shop for any occasion and I am so glad they are here! read more

Best florist you could ever hope for! I would give Nellie's 100 stars if I could! Another florist failed four times to deliver birthday flowers I order, claiming the recipient's house didn't exist, then claiming there was no such person (I have known her for 35 years, and she has lived at the address for over 40 years). So, I called Nellie's after finding the business online (from Virginia). The person (Sammy) who took my call was so friendly and helpful, and when I tentatively said I would like them delivered when possible, he immediately said "Okay, this afternoon." He helped with the choice of flower selection and order. Imagine my surprise - half an hour after I placed the order, I happened to be on the phone with the recipient when her doorbell range, and voila! the flowers arrived. Yes, 30 minutes after I placed the order. Best of all, the bouquet was absolutely gorgeous!! The flowers were fresh, unusual, and colorful. Use Nellie's!! You will be delighted. read more

I'm a recent convert and new fan of Nellie's. I live in New Jersey and my partner lives in Somerville, so every now and then I'll order them flowers on weekends I can't visit. Its a tough go around because I want to use a local florist that puts some care into their craft. More often than not I end up fleeced by a big corporate florist. This is not one of those experiences. I ordered flowers online for next day delivery. Their website was clean and easy to navigate. I ordered the standard Spring Garden bouquet. The day of delivery I received a picture of the flowers and to my shock they looked exactly like the picture online! Seriously, if you've ever ordered flowers online you know what I mean. Flowers came on time and with an adorable vase. Partner happy. I'm happy. Couldn't ask for more. Will definitely use them again for all my floral needs and will update this review if I ever check out the shop. read more

I can't say enough about this shop. Every single person I've even interacted with is lovely, helpful, and happy. We have used them for years from bouquets to floral headpieces for religious observances. The arrangements are always exquisite and the flowers always seem to last long after flowers from other sources have lost their bloom. I called this morning to order flowers. We moved a couple towns over a few years ago but when they heard my wife's name they immediately remember who we were, asked about our kids, how my Mom who works near the shop is, etc., etc. The shop provides a wonderful product but they are every bit as loyal to their customers as, hopefully, their customers are to them. I am so glad to give this shop our business, and I'm glad they still deliver to where we live. Honestly, if you shop here, this will be "your florist" that you go to for everything afterward. I would give them 10 stars if I could. read more

I ordered a "designer's choice" bouquet online to be delivered to a friend in the area and was so impressed by the stunning arrangement she received! I could tell from the website photos that the flower selection was beautiful, but this exceeded expectations. Now I wish I lived in Somerville so I could order flowers from Nellie's for myself! read more

A spot of sunshine - this is one of my most favorite places in the neighborhood. Always bursting with fresh flowers and artful arrangements, this shop is just what you're looking for whether it's a birthday surprise, a little something for your table, a thoughtful present (they often have chocolates, cute vases, soaps or candles), or an "I'm sorry" bouquet (a patron walked in one day in a panic asking for this. Nellie's delivered). The flowers in these photos are over a week old and they're still perfectly fresh! Always impressed by the selection and quality of the flowers. Have not used them for delivery yet but be sure that I will! A big thank you to the owner for serving the community for so many years. read more

Joyce/Nellie's did the flowers for our wedding and I couldn't be happier. I originally didn't want wedding flowers or any arrangements. I just wanted a bouquet for myself and our bridesmaids maybe. We ended up getting my bouquet, 4 bouquets for the girls, 4 wrist corsages (for moms and grandmothers), 2 boutonnieres (for our dads), and 2 additional peonies as cake toppers. The whole bunch, including delivery, was about $370. Working with Joyce was great, she had awesome suggestions for our color scheme and the type of aesthetic I was hoping for. We ordered maroon peonies for me and white hydrangeas for the girls - and they were BEAUTIFUL (see crappy cell phone picture). Seriously, when I showed up to the venue on my wedding day and saw my gorgeous peonies, I gasped and then got a little teary eyed. They were just perfect. Our guests commented all day on how beautiful and stunning my flowers were. I couldn't be happier with my experience!!! read more

Having recently moved to somerville I pass by this shop everyday on my way to the train. On a whim, I stopped by to purchase flowers for a relative that recently returned home from the hospital. I was on my way to her house so I needed something already assembled and of course as it was a week before Christmas I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised by the displays with the holly and greens and purchased two. Also, I was getting married in a few days and hadn't really thought of flowers since it was a very small, at home marriage ceremony. I asked if they could possibly do a couple arrangements for the tables and they said they would be happy to. I'm sure if I needed more extravagant arrangements that wouldn't have been possible, but they happily obliged and were beautiful! They lasted over a week too! Thank you!!!! read more

Joyce, Jess, and the others at Nellies always create the most gorgeous, unique, and long lasting arrangements! I've used Nellies both personally and professionally for years, and can't recommend them enough. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they take the time to get to know their customers likes and dislikes, to the point where my husband no longer has to explain a thing to them - they just know and are spot on every time. Thank you Nellies, for always brightening my day! read more

I love going to Nellies! They have a really unique, ever changing selection of flowers and other plants. They are very welcoming from the moment you walk in the door. I have also found them to be great resources in terms of what's in season and proper care for whatever I buy! Wonderful selection, welcoming staff, all in all a lovely experience. read more

Lovely small flower shop when you're looking for the gift of flowers beyond the traditional roses.

I ordered Easter flowers for 2 of our daughters for Easter and they were beautiful! They both said they were the most beautiful flowers they had ever received! Thank you!! read more

Absolutely stunning floral arrangements, far exceeding in taste and wild beauty any other place in town. If you are anywhere near them, don't go with anyone else. When my son was born a year ago, my wife and I received our first ever bouquet from Nellie's Wildflowers as a gift. We were eyes wide in love with the bouquet (which is saying something considering how much we were otherwise occupied by our first born). I just ordered another bouquet on his first birthday for his mom and we are just as happy as we were a year ago with the beautiful arrangement that arrived today, same day. Writing this review with gratitude, and the hope that it encourages someone else (or many others!) to choose your wonderful store. With gratitude. read more

I ordered some flowers delivered to a friend. The bouquet arrived on time, the flowers were beautiful, and there were so many flowers they needed to go into two vases. Exactly what one would want from a flower shop. read more

Working with Nellie's Wildflowers for my wedding was so easy and straightforward. My order was small--just one bridal bouquet and about 75 loose wildflowers to place in small glass bottles on each table at the reception--and I found the pricing to be reasonable and the results to be even better than I imagined. Joyce asked me to send her a few reference photos of my vision and the bouquet she ultimately created was fresh, colorful, and absolutely gorgeous. She was always quick to respond to my emails and had everything organized and ready for us to pick up in easily-transportable buckets at the exact time we had agreed upon. I'm so glad I chose this local shop and I highly recommend their services. read more

I don't really post too often, but when I do, it means very much to me. My bf just moved to Somerville and I visit often. Davis Square is poppin all the time and super close and a few days ago I really needed to get something for my clinical professor because she has been such an awesome human being. I was trying to find something to get her and I was thinking of getting her a bottle of wine or sake or something (turns out she doesn't drink at all, phew), and my peers suggested flowers. I was thinking... flowers? C'mon that's so old school and in my head I was imagining those random bouquets sitting near the entrance of a Stop and Shop (no offense to Stop and Shop! My bf gets me random bouquets from there sometimes). But my peers insisted flowers and everyone was chipping in so I caved and looked for a florist somewhere local. Being the chronic Yelper who takes and never gives back, I decided to give Nellie's a try. I called at around 12 ish and needed a bouquet by 1:45, and asked if I could get a bouquet for my professor. My question was very vague because I have absolutely no clue. The lady answer the phone says something along the lines of, "Well do you want a very fall and rustic bouquet with some whites, or like a pink and girly pastel one?" I'm thinking oh shit, I don't want it to be like an Easter bouquet like those Stop and Shop ones (again, no offense to Stop and Shop) because I can easily buy a bouquet $30 cheaper than a florist and I didn't want it to be a bouquet bursting full of cranberries and pumpkin and cinnamon spice. So I said, "Can you do like half and half? For like $40?" And we kinda do like a 15 second back and forth about what I thought my professor liked and her taste and the lady says, "Ok I think I know what you want." So I stop in the store at 1:45 and I'm like heyyyyy I'm here for my bouquet and was a tiny bit pissed she didn't have it ready cause it takes an hour to get to clinical. Immediately she starts picking out a few flowers and tells me she didn't want to get the bouquet together beforehand because, you know, what if I didn't like it? It's easier to change a work in progress than something already submitted right? So she shows me this $25 bouquet, totally beautiful and asks if I liked it. It looked lovely, but I wanted to make it fuller looking and not too skimpy so I decided some white hydrangeas do fill it up and the rest she filled with some really ridiculously good looking leaves. I was thoroughly impressed. Before I show you this epic bouquet, I just wanted to let you know the store front looked so tiny from the outside but the inside was huge! The front of the store looked like some cute little boutique and when you walk inside and see all the tasteful flowers and simple interior design, you feel like you just walked into a cute little cape house with a rustic, homely, cabin-feel to it. Love love love it. read more

I wanted to send flowers to a wake at a Somerville funeral home. The funeral home's website had a link to order flowers via FTD ... However, I did a little Googling and learned that FTD takes a big cut as the middleman to the florists who fulfill the orders. I decided to contact a local florist directly and found Nellie's Wildflowers here on Yelp. I had a great experience and want to add another positive review. I called Nellie's the morning of the wake, and they were able to do a same-day turnaround. I ordered based on what I wanted to spend for a funeral basket and requested a few specific colors in the arrangement. I figured it would be simply nice. Well ... I attended the wake and was shocked to see how GORGEOUS (and big!) the arrangement was! It was a sophisticated presentation in a very nice ceramic rectangular bowl, and the pink and oranges that I requested were beautifully represented. I would have taken a photo had it not been in poor taste to do so at a wake. ;-) I'm so glad I chose Nellie's and dealt with them directly instead of a wire service like FTD. Support your local business! read more

Joyce at Nellie's did the flowers for my wedding and they were exceptional. I love this place. Depending on the day, their selection can be a bit small but they always have something interesting or unique that I have never seen before. Love them. read more

I've been aware of Nellie's for years because my parents live nearby and my mom enjoys picking up the occasional bouquet here. The flowers I'd seen from Nellie's were never the typical bouquet of roses. Rather, true to the name of the shop, the arrangements tended to be filled with colorful wildflowers. Most shops don't carry these types of flowers at all, from what I've seen. When I got married in 2007, we turned to Nellie's for the flowers. I was living out of state at the time and so only got to meet the folks at Nellie's once before the wedding. I went in with a series of photos of flower arrangements I liked, and swatches of my wedding colors (bright greens and pinks). We also gave them a swatch from the lining of my dress, so they could match the shade of white for the bouquet handle. Based on these, the Nellie's team put together totally gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces. My centerpieces were in square glass vases lined with bright fresh leaves, and topped with huge pink peonies. The colors were vibrant and beautiful. My bouquet was all bright pinks with a cream-wrapped stem (ribbons and crystal), while the bridesmaids had a mix of pink and yellow flowers in theirs (see photo). I loved that the bouquets and centerpieces featured flowers that you don't see as often at weddings, especially peonies. The men's flowers were also lovely, though far more standard (single roses with greens). On the morning of the wedding, Nellie's made three separate deliveries: to the church, the reception site, and my parent's house (bouquets). All of the flowers were very fresh and looked perfect. In terms of price, I no longer remember the exact numbers, BUT I remember that Nellie's prices compared favorably to some of the other florists we spoke with. That's part of the reason we chose that shop. I would definitely recommend Nellie's for a wedding. They did an awesome job and almost 4 years later, the flowers still stand out in my mind as a highlight of my wedding experience (alongside the getting married part!). If my cats wouldn't immediately eat them, I'd also pop in for the occasional no-reason-at-all arrangement to brighten my day. read more

This place is great! I had heard good things from friends about this place so I checked it out myself. I have now been there a few times and I always enjoy the trip. The staff is friendly, helpful and willing to mix and match to make the right bouquet. Their $5 bouquets are quite nice and if you combine two of them, you've got a great looking bouquet for less than most other places. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it doesn't have a huge selection... so if you are very particular about what flowers you want, you may want to call first to see if they have it. But if you're open, they will always be able to send you away with a beautiful bouquet. (Sidenote: I bought some flowers here for my new roommate a few weeks ago and they stayed alive for a VERY long time!) A great neighborhood shop. I recommend checking them out! read more

I just love flowers, especially non-traditional bouquets, and Nellie's is perfect for me. I stop by almost once a month to pick up a $5 bouquet for my table. Lovely little collections of flowers that last for two weeks at the least! The staff are great and if I was a bit richer I'd spring for a nicer bouquet once in a while. Highly recommended! read more

I would almost give this place all five stars, but our first impression was really jarring. We were referred here by almost everybody we knew for flowers for my friend's wedding. We went in, and were met by the most unbelievably awkward man in the world. He had us feeling more unsure about things when we walked out than when we walked in, and all he was basically saying was that we should come in in about half an hour to talk to Joyce, the owner. Thankfully he didn't try to cloud the issue or turn us off from patronizing this place when we came back in. Joyce is amazing. She jotted down the info as my friend explained the location, size and date of the ceremony. She put together an amazing bouquet in few seconds that had my friend and I mostly speechless. She's not only really good at what she does, but she's kind as well. She talked to us for about 30 minutes and by that time, she had priced everything out, and assured us that a delivery would definitely be possible, and only cost TEN DOLLARS! She gave us the price list she had made up and a business card and told us to get in contact with her to let her know for sure. Too bad the man works there as well, he really brings the experience to a grinding halt when he opens his mouth. read more

I feel horrible for ever noticing Nellie's before, always walking down Holland Street on the wrong side of the road. The other night on my way home from picking up last minute items for dinner, I noticed this cute little flower shop and decided why not to check it out. Nellie's has a great selection of cut wildflowers both individual to make your own mix and pre made bunches. The quality and quantity competes well against larger chain places. The staff were super sweet and explained to me how the business has been in the family forever. I ended up going home with a bunch of sunflowers and lillys to brighten up the kitchen table. I will definitely be going back here again. read more

It is easy to miss this little flower shop but it is so worth stopping by. I'm writing this review in December and right now they have really great Christmas wreaths and Christmas greens available.

The people who work here are very friendly and helpful. read more

The customer service here is above and beyond! Not only were they fantastic in helping me decide which arrangement was best for my needs, but a kind woman is also opening the shop for me to pick up my order on a day they are normally closed.

I called Nellie's to order flowers for my girlfriend's birthday, as I was not living in the area. Joyce was professional but very personable, and helped talk me through exactly what I wanted: a beautiful seasonal bouquet, delivered, with a vase, to a Somerville apartment. She even worked with me to ensure that the flowers were delivered in the morning, while my girlfriend was at home. The flowers arrived on time and were gorgeous, and I was able to arrange and pay for them from hundreds of miles away! Looking forward to seeing the shop on my next visit. read more
