I've had the pleasure of working with Bec on two occasions now including our recent Yelper Party where she took a concept from brief to installation with creativity and grace. She understood the theme instantly and added a true sophistication to my event. Her ethos of only working with locally available blooms and greens is to be admired as is her desire to teach us all the ways to weave blooms into our everyday life. Best of all her work is affordable and accessible to all. She works to your budget and communicates with you throughout making sure you're across all information and decisions. Her input only makes the end result better.

I have to thank Gabs who was very responsive to my emails, friendly, and amazing with her assistance. I asked her for a specific delivery and she made it happen. Thanks Gabs to you and your team!! My wife loved the flowers and they looked just like them online, maybe even better in person to be honest.

Not looking like the photos, nor good value for money. Can buy anywhere else for less and better.read more

Francesca's Flowers on 46 Latrobe Terrace in Paddington Brisbane, is a welcoming & charming flower…read moreshop & tea-house, set in a beautifully converted cottage. Like a breath of fresh air on a bright sunny day you can't help but feel happy once you enter. Being a little up along Latrobe Terrace, you are further away from the hustle & bustle of Given Terrace, & Francesca's Flowers feels like a country retreat. There's of course lots of gorgeous flowers inside, a variety of fresh bouquets in vases & pots, providing a rainbow of colours. There's a tea-room that has a cosy familial feel, brightened up by colourful tissue paper pom poms hanging from the ceiling. A large central communal table is decked out with flowers & tiny pots, from where guests can sample the variety teas, as well as enjoy the fresh cakes sitting under glass jars at the counter. The back room looks perfect for a book-club or gathering for mums & dads, as there's a kids playroom cubbyhouse, a converted walk-in wardrobe. Fully packed with stuffed toys, games, puzzles & books & colouring pencils & paper, we wanted to play in there ourselves! We decided to spend our time at the front verandah from which to take in the serenity, feel the rays of the sun, & sip on our beautiful flavoured teas from the Tea Centre. Perfectly accompanied by a gluten-free almond & orange cake from Jocelyn's provisions. All we needed was a good book, & we could have spent the entire day there. To top it off, we asked Francesca to put together a small bouquet for us, to reflect "happiness". What she came up with was absolutely lovely. Francesca, always had a dream of her own business where she could express her creativity. Thankfully this dream is a reality, and the rest of Brisbane can share it. Come to Francesca's Flowers, you will not be disappointed.

Buds on Buranda clearly know this as they offer free delivery to the PA Hospital for any purchase over $50. The floral arrangements here are very pretty and often very vibrant colours.

I've just arranged an expensive flower arrangement for a dear friend. As a group we were willing…read moreto spend $170 so we wanted something amazing. When I arrived to view the flowers before they were sent I was very disappointed that the style was not appropriate for the recipient and not what I had imagined at all. I guess this was due to semantics and communication, expectations and assumptions. I was impressed that the girls in this florist (including Phoebe) didn't try to convince me that this bunch was in fact appropriate. Instead, after some apologies for crossed-wires about expectations they sprung into action to create a new bunch very much different from the first. They did well to stay patient and attentive despite me being a very contrary customer. I guess it pays dividends to bow to customers wants and needs because - well - here I am now singing their praises. I'm sure many florists would have railroaded me into accepting the first bunch or tried to alter it slightly. I was very pleased they wiped the slate clean and started again.

Perrotts is well known for their quality bouquets and attention to detail, They are the real A-League of floristry. Their arrangements are truly the best I have seen in Brisbane. No cellophane and rose bouquets here, think lush ripe seasonal blooms arranged tastefully in one of their signature hat boxes. You certainly pay for that quality with prices starting from $70 to $400. And with a handy online store and super fast deliveries you have no excuse not to splurge on some of their blooms.

I have just picked up a red rose wedding bouquet for a wedding today. Many of the Rose petals were…read morenoticeably ripped, dry petals, and black tipped. The girl at the shop tried to help as we removed about a dozen petals (I didn't want to remove too many as to effect the bouquet size, though we should've removed much more or had some entire flowers be replaced). So I rang the head office. They told me that's how the roses are. Of course, I've seen many roses, these aren't what roses should look like. The guy was no help and left me no option. Instead, he made me feel guilty as they were a special order and implied that I should just be thankful. I paid $200. No apology. No options to resolve my complaint. That's very poor service! As a customer paying this much money, I'd expect some effort and courtesy. I am now left to either give the bouquet to the bride, who will be inevitably upset by this, or give her no flowers at all. I will certainly not be going back and nor will the 100+ people from today's wedding.
