Bursting with unusual flowers and beautiful colours it is hard to resist a trip inside. You can tell these florists have a passion for flowers and flair when it comes to putting them together. La Vie En Rose can be on the expensive side but you do expect that for quality and creativity. My tip is to call and order something bespoke for your budget. Whenever I have done this I have always been ecstatic with the result (as has the person receiving the flowers!).

It was a disappointing experience at La Vie En Rose on a Sunday. After ordering flowers for pick up, you kind of expect high quality (ie not cheap). Yes, they were available for pick up on a Sunday so that is great but got them home and about half were clearly old. Took 'em back and had them exchanged. You can forgive an error but the attitude of the staff was that I was too picky or didn't know what I was talking about. Wilted petals indicates that they are old. How can you argue with that? If you are going to try to correct a problem. a) admit the problem and b) be nice about it. I got home and went through the new flowers and sure enough one had a broken stem. I didn't bother going back but did decide it was worth a review since I was so disappointed with the service. If you do go there, make sure you check everything carefully so you are not disappointed when you get home. I'm truly surprised a business can keep operating with that kind of service and attitude.

Deluca's manages to convey these words beautifully. If you need to say I love you, I'm sorry, Happy Birthday etc, go to Deluca's and they'll help you make the right choice. The flowers are always fresh and their exotic roses are gorgeous. The flower arrangements are also beautifully presented and the packaging always classy. They have branches in Darlinghurst and in Bondi Junction Westfield (next to Woolworths).

It seemed so when I went in, though I myself probably wouldn't know the difference, having nothing to do with flowers until now. This one is linked to the floristry school, so I suppose they ensure top quality produce by growing their employees rather than plucking them from anywhere. The tattooed gentleman (don't let appearances make a fool of you) at the counter was fantastic at assisting me find specifically what I was looking for , as well as his student assistant. They sell arrangements and live flowers in pots too, and, as you'd expect can dress it up nice so that you can give it as a gift. I'd definitely recommend this place, although I suppose a florist is a florist, and you'd expect them all to be friendly and helpful. Then again, this ones been doing it for 40 years.

Most recently, I was organizing an event at the Centennial Parklands Dining and needed table arrangements of red gerberas for the day. I collected quotes from several florists nearby and was most impressed with Pearson's Florist on Oxford Street. The staff member who helped me was incredibly efficient and professional (not to mention friendly). I was quoted a good price for the bulk flowers and was able to arrange delivery to the venue (on a Saturday morning) for low cost. The flowers arrived on time and were exactly what I needed. I had asked for them to come loose, so that I could disperse into the vases myself. Sure enough, the lot of flowers sat in buckets of water when I arrived at the venue. After a simple invoicing process, good value and great service, I would definitely go back to Pearsons Florist again when putting together en event.

The staff are charming and very helpful if you have any difficulties choosing or need more information.

They are freshly sourced from local markets and are quite simply stunning.

By the morning of the 7th, the flowers had already dropped completely - they barely lasted two days.

Really disappointing - premium quality, right.

The place is packed to the brim with gorgeous arrangements and outside there are plants galore. They fill the street out the front so you can browse them as you are walking past.

The people are just so lovely in here and what seems like a straightforward transaction of 'see flower, purchase flower' actually ends up being a convo for ten minutes. They do the wrap for a gift or wrap for home like most places do and I have been satisfied if it is a present and even more satisfied at what they charge me.

You can get a decent bunch for $5 or $8, but then there are also boxed arrangements from about $18 up to $65. There are plenty of other gifts up the back, but you probably came here for the flowers, right? Lilies, gerberas, birds of paradise - they're all here and they smell amazing!

The arrangement was huge, full of white lilies and other beautiful touches. Immediately I became a loyal customer. The quality of the flowers, the beauty of the way they are put together, the excellent service and the exceptional value makes this one of the best florists in the area.
