Wendy answered the phone and handled my order with excellent communication. She was precise and direct, and left me feeling confident that my order would be a success. Well. I'm here to tell you that they exceeded that expectation. Thank you Amy and Wendy! My friend posted pictures on FB of an absolutely gorgeous arrangement full of amazing colors and the freshest flowers ever! Everyone on her feed is asking where they came from so they can also use this florist. Highly recommend!!! Five stars!

I start looking around with my mother and explaining how the plushies are used in bouquets and what not, the owner then comes out and just stares at us and is watching our every move. Doesn't bother greeting us back so already strange. We then go over to some other flowers, we did touch them and apologized because we did not know they were made of soap, as she said. We start than looking at other bouquets and she than finally spoke and with an annoyed attitude she asked what we were looking for, we of course just said we wanted to take a look at the place. My mom of course than feels like she doesn't want us there so we left. I don't know if it was because we were talking Spanish but it felt weird. I was simply translating. As we leave she comes out and throws away a happy meal box and I think nothing of it, until i turn around and see she's taking a picture of my license plate. Very strange behavior. will never come shop here or even look again. If you have nasty attitude and judge, please don't open a business. I'm willing to help small businesses but if i'm not wanted i don't want to be supporting.

Came in to buy a bouquet of flowers for one of my girlfriends…read more There's a lot of parking in the lot. Google Maps for some reason tried to take me to a different spot, but just look for the big blue shop. You can't miss it! I love that the shop is such a distinct color because it helped me find it easily. I came a bit before 6PM and had never been here before, so I was unsure what to expect. I was happy to find that there was no one inside at that time other than three staff members. One of the staff asked what I was looking for specifically, and I said a bouquet around $50. He helped me look for a ready-made bouquet in their fridge, but there wasn't one ready at that price. He said they could make one at whatever price point I had in mind and showed me a laminated sheet that laid out pricing options: a dozen red roses for $50, $50 of other flowers, or a mix. He asked if there were specific flowers or color themes I had in mind, and I told him I'd defer to him for the design. They could also adjust based on price range, which was nice to know. I ended up buying a mixed bouquet for $30 (shown in the photo). He then pointed me to a station where you could write notes and cards for the recipient. There was a nice variety of cards and envelopes in different colors. They had my bouquet ready in 10 minutes, which was great for a walk-in order. The bouquet was wrapped up beautifully and smelled wonderful. Highly recommend!

If you're a bride who's considering DIY flowers--- like ordering bulk flowers from Costco or…read moreSam's...but you don't want 200 of the same exact looking rose, THIS is the place for YOU! I was about to do all my floral ordering from Sam's club until I FOUND THIS PLACE :) And I'm glad I did. Houston Flower Girls is the retail side of Westside Flower Exchange (who does wholesale only...sells flowers at wholesale prices to florists around town) So, basically with Houston Flower Girls, you'll get wholesale prices & be able to tailor your flowers to the types you want. The only catch is that you have to spend at least $250 & be able to pay cash ... Second, you'll have to do more research to know what types of flowers you want. They offer 3 Options: 1) Box-n-go--- Sam's/Costco style (order it & they'll give it to you in boxes) 2) DIY--- basically like #1 except they give you & your wedding party space + supplies + help to do your floral arrangements & cooler space to store them in 3) Combination-- a mixture of the above I worked with Mary Ann throughout the whole planning process. She was very sweet and patient & was able to answer all of my gazillion questions. Since I was planning from Dallas, we did alot of communication via phone/email & she was very quick to respond! She even sent me pictures when I was confused as to which flower was what. After you have a finalized list of flowers you want, HFG will send you a quote for the flowers you want. Since flower prices change weekly, they tend to overestimate your quote just in case the prices of the flowers you choose go up the week of your wedding (This is the most annoying part of the whole process because if you order 100 of a certain rose... and the price ranges within $1-$3... then the quote of $300 or $100 can change EVERYTHING about your flower order...so it's quite annoying....this is the only reason why this is not a five-star rating) --BUT Houston Flower GIrls does the best they can with what they're given & the price I was quoted was within 10% of what I paid. The week of the wedding, we picked up the flowers on Thursday morning for a Saturday afternoon wedding... they were in good condition, but definitely needed to be pruned & put in water. After being in water for just a few hours, all of the flowers perked up! By the time it was Saturday, they were all blooming & PERFECT! The quality of flowers you get is amazing!!! Not a single flower was rotted or damaged. And if you realize you didn't quite order enough, you can just pick up a few more from them directly. Tips: 1) try to do some research into flowers you like/don't like... bring pictures of flowers & colors you're looking for. Mary Ann is very knowledgeable about flowers & which ones last or don't last & which ones are costly/more budget friendly & will make good suggestions. their facebook page constantly has new pictures of flowers they have, so it's a good resource to start getting to know what flowers you like. 2) recruit lots of help for floral arrangements-- it will take longer than you think 3) buy good floral tools; they're pricey but worth it -- Houston Flower Girls sells rose dethorning tools, pruning shears, floral wire, gloves, floral tape, flower food, etc--- The tools I bought from them were better than the other ones I purchased from Walmart, etc. don't buy the cheap tools-- they will break & take up more of your time in going to get a second set of tools

I found this business through yelp and was super excited for what seemed to be a reasonable DIY…read moreflower option for Houston brides. I signed up for the Saturday morning bouquet class lead by Mary Ann. The class takes place in their floral warehouse. The class is very hands on and you take home what you make, which is really neat because you have something to show for what you learned. Mary Ann is a great teacher and was very patient as we tried to figure out how to handle the flowers and assemble them just so. She has lots of off the cuff tips and tricks that I don't think you can otherwise pick up by simply watching every youtube video available for bouquet making. Once you have taken a class with them, Mary Ann will assist you in ordering flowers so that you can create your own wedding flowers. They offer services from pick up and 100% DIY to creating arrangements in house with their assistance. I am just starting this process but will update the review once we have held the wedding. If their service continues to be as responsive and kind as it has been to date, I'm in for a real treat...not to mention saving 60%+ on what a florist would charge me to arrange and assemble these same arrangements.

The front of the shop and the interior is unassuming. But she knew her in entity and got to selecting right away. Her sweet husband (who had probably previously been preparing to close) added his ideas. I sat comfortably with provided water and watched as they chatted and got stems from the cooler, then debated options for ties. They also handled with kindness another patron who was a walk-in with a request of a bouquet for a dinner date. It was so great to see chivalry in action!! The arrangement was beautiful, on time, and reasonably priced. The other patron left with what he wanted as well. The care and attention shown by the patrons: priceless. 1000% recommend.
