"Our florist choice in Corvallis"…read more Flower arrangement expressions since covid can be challenging- especially when you have specific flower requests in mind. We once again ordered a custom arrangement with a bit of a Hawaiian touch for a friend who was born and raised in Hawaii. Many of the flowers of Hawaii that could have been used were simply not available in Oregon during our timeframe. Another supply chain issue of covid. Happy with the results our friend had received last time, we knew Expressions in Bloom would do the best they could, with what they were able to get, as a fitting tropical tribute to our friend's service. They were quite clear as to what flowers would be available and we were happy they were still able to add a Hawaiian touch to our request. They basically had a week to work with as timing was important for our unexpected event. We received a pic of the arrangement and are happy with the final product. Pre-covid, current covid conditions, Expressions came through again. Expressions in Bloom will continue to be our "go to" florist in the Corvallis, Oregon area. Support for small businesses is important during these tough economic times. Support your local businesses, we're all in this together. (And yes, this is a real review from a satisfied customer from here in Hawaii. )

Bought two wrist corsages for Mother's Day this past weekend for my wife and mom and they use a…read morecord that has no elasticity that you are supposed to twist or tighten somehow to get them to stay in place. Neither was able to get them to stay on and were not able to use them. The owner called and implied that they work very well and it was simple to tighten them and we should have figured out how to use them or called for guidance. They did not try them on until they received them minutes before we left for church. I have bought one every year for some 44 years now and this is the first experience like this as I did not like the quality nor the owner's implications and lack of concern. I was visiting Corvallis, so this is not a florist I would use nor recommend to anyone.

This is actually a review for Shonnard's Landscape Services not the retail shop…read more I am actually not a customer of Shonnard's Landscape Services, but I saw something the other day that made me want to send this review. These are professionals. I was driving along Crystal Lake Drive, and a crew from Shonnards was doing some maintenance. I observed their crew using a power blower to blow debris BACK INTO THE BEDS instead of blowing debris farther into the street like so many other landscape maintenance folks seem to do. Often the mow-blow-go guys just blow all the clippings into the street even though it violates city code and is just obnoxious. I'm going to refrain from naming names of other landscape service providers that do this, but maybe I'll write some reviews soon and call 'em out on it if they don't stop. I've even seen downtown businesses blowing leaves into the street. Shame on them. If I needed some landscape maintenance services, I would call up Shonnard's just for this one thing I observed because it shows they care. Thank you Shonnard's!

I was shopping around for graduation gift baskets and decided to give Bella Vino a try - I am so…read moreglad I did! The customization option is very thorough and enables you to truly make your gift look just right. There was a detailed list of items, designs, and themes to pick from. Leigh is amazing to work with! She emailed me promptly to confirm she had received the order and also sent me follow-up pictures to ensure I liked the box and its contents before it got sent out. I had a minor change to make and she made it quickly. The box was received in less than a week of my ordering it, which was much faster than I had allotted for. If you're looking for a place to send gift baskets, this is definitely it!

I had no idea who to use in Oregon, but I came across Bella Vino in an internet search and liked their unique baskets. Leigh did an amazing job. I couldn't be happier and friend loved it. I especially liked how Leigh included items for the whole family, including dog biscuits! The basket was beautiful, creative, and a big hit. I was also really impressed my interaction with Leigh. She was super quick to respond and sent pictures of the finished basket with a list of items for my approval. I also got to give my thoughts prior to the basket being created. The process was fabulous. I highly recommend Leigh and Bella Vino. Great company!

And then she told my mother also, so I think our friend really liked it. Erin was so easy to work with, and I especially like that she sources her flowers from local farmers whenever possible. And she sent a photo of the bouquet to make sure I was happy with it. When our friend's birthday comes around next year, you can be sure that we will call on Erin again. Thanks, Erin, for making our friend feel so special.

I think I might carry them around the house with me today so they don't have to leave my sight! Every single stem is fresh every bloom is bright and flawless.

Also, the delivery person was so kind and warm and the sender was as thrilled with her purchase as I was to receive my gift. I probably am a lifelong fan of this florist now!
