She knew Mr. Hawkins and was a customer of his but almost 20 years before she passed. I'll be able to order flowers myself from him and the arrangements were always beautiful, colorful, and fresh. Mr. Hawkins did a personal consultation with me when I got married and I have since ordered multiple types of arrangements from his company. His prices will also very reasonable for what you got and I'll miss Mr. Hawkins. His family is continued to put out quality arrangements and his legacy is fully intact! They also take the time to work with you if you need something special and I always willing to go out of their way! They are my go-to for all flowers beautiful!

I live in the West Coast and my mom lives in Harvey, LA. Orders with 1800 Flowers have always been…read moredisappointing in the past and I've heard many horror stories. My mom is the type of person hat thinks flowers are dumb cause they die within a week or two, but still loves to see and smell it. I decided to place an online order for delivery, a month in advance but they could only deliver 2 days after Mother's Day. I decided to order since my mom doesn't make a big deal out of late celebration deliveries, and also I have not been able to find a local florist that delivered in 70058 till I stumbled upon Simply Gorgeous Flowers. The day of delivery, the florist called me that she could not see my credit card number online - only the last four digits. She asked me to send it give it to her over the phone, but I felt uncomfortable with that idea. She told me she can send an invoice (via Quickbooks) and I just need to put the credit card number in and we should be ok. I felt much more comfortable with that idea and my flowers were delivered that day. My mom LOVED her flowers. The pricing was affordable and the flowers were great! The roses were blossomed and full at arrival and the lilies were going to be blossomed soon! This means the bouquet could last a couple weeks! She also noted that the flowers smelled better than the ones in the past, so this was a bonus! I will continue to order from Simply Gorgeous Flowers again in the future. Hopefully I can stop in one day when I'm back down visiting.

It was filled with dogs and people walking around. I picked up this horrible crafted coffee pot by seller #37 and held it like your supposed to do with my three fingers in the handle and my thumb on the the top. I did not realize it was so poorly crafted that the lid was top heavy AND did not properly fit the top. It fell off as soon as I raised it to check the price, and shattered when it fell on the floor. I did the right thing, instead of leaving it, I brought it to the front. I was greeted by the RUDEST customer service person I've EVER met. I explained what happen and showed her how poorly it was designed and she continued to charge me! $110!!! I should've just left. She then proceeded to wrap up the broken lid after multiple times saying I did not want it as it's useless. I would have been fine, if a) she accepted equal responsibility for a poorly designed product or b) reduced it by at the min of 50% as now I have a useless overpriced small ceramic pot as its too short for flowers or c) she was kind and understanding. Or offered to contact the artist to get a new lid that's better designed. But no, she was utterly rude & condescending. I WILL NEVER ENTER Dunn & Sonnier, and recommend you do the same. #itdoesntpaytodotherightthing #karmaisabitch

SADLY, I WAS COMPLETELY LET DOWN BY FAT CAT FLOWERS despite numerous recommendations.... here's…read morewhat occurred: We were planning our destination wedding and were narrowed down to (4) venues. During our tours and meetings with each restaurant's representatives for special events, we asked for their list of recommended vendors (3 of the 4 included Fat Cat Flowers)... so we checked out their instagram page and then contacted Diane Mouton (owner) and were impressed. We began all communication with Diane in October and kept in contact with her to develop our final decisions for our January 26 wedding date (but the style/taste of our order stayed rather consistent from the start). The original quote was quite high for us, mostly due to a couple table arrangements but with our wedding being a micro-wedding (with only 18 guests), we thought it best to eliminate the table arrangements and only get (2) boutonnières and the bridal bouquet. Fat Cat Flowers had no hesitation about handling our small order... And we were very timely with making our deposit (and final payment as well). The BRIDAL BOUQUET was to be White Hydrangea with some Lavender Roses. It was always stressed to Fat Cat Flowers that I had some specifics for the BOUTONNIERES... such as it not being too feminine (like no roses), wanting them to be on the smaller size and wanting it to be very simple. We even sent numerous pictures of what I like (mostly simple stuff with twine; basically a very rustic, mascaline look). As the wedding date approached, we had to finalize and confirm our order... I confirmed the BRIDAL BOUQUET to be the same as when we started; As for the Father and Son BOUTONNIERES, my wife sent the following email to Diane to confirm what I wanted: * * * * * * * * * * "So it turns out father and son, both pretty much like the same style and they are both very very simple. Glenn's father would like baby's breath with twine or something similar to hold it together but preferably not ribbon (IF you don't have twine). I attached a couple samples to assist." Glenn's boutonniere is to be the same, except it would be a nice touch if you could add just a modest touch of something green (such as wintergreen) or neutral (such as wheat as seen in attach picture) or something of your liking; but be sure it's very minimal and not colorful." * * * * * * * * * * The flowers were delivered to the front desk of our hotel while we were out running errands; upon our arrival to the hotel and time to get ready I saw her BRIDAL BOUQUET and I thought my wife would've preferred more White Hydrangea and less Lavender Rose but overall the arrangement was lovely. Wish I could've said the same for my BOUTONNIERES... I received LAVENDER ROSE WITH GREEN RIBBON... It was specifically what I said I DO NOT WANT (feminine and colorful) Did Fat Cat Flowers ignore everything we discussed and confirmed in numerous emails... plus numerous pictures of our simple taste?!?!?! So the GROOM and his Father ended up wearing NO BOUTONNIERES!!! * * * * * * * * * * I called Diane and expressed my disappointment.... explained all of what I said above. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was further disappointed with excuses instead of an apology. She said she tries to match the Boutonniere flowers to the Bridal Bouquet flowers; despite it's not what I asked for. She did suggest this in one email but it was rejected since I do not like colorful flowers for my Boutonniere. She also said Baby's Breath would end up costing twice the price we paid; then why did she agree to do it and never express this as a concern. She refunded the price of the BOUTONNIERES (and I accepted that), but I do believe the whole order should've been refunded... considering I wouldn't have made a deal to buy just the BRIDAL BOUQUET without the Boutonnieres * * * * * * * * * * I know Fat Cat Flowers / Diane Mouton are capable of more... but if my order wasn't worth the time then I wish she would've explained that to us and we could've placed the order with another flower vendor. * * * * * * * * * * Added 2/21/19 In response to Fat Cat Flowers' statement below: my contract never stated lavender flowers; it originally said White Ranunculus but it was removed because I didn't like them and the contract was actually written as Boutonnieres TBD (to be determined) when we made our deposit.

Fat Cat Flowers did a spectacular job with our flowers. They did both our rehearsal dinner and…read morewedding. At the rehearsal dinner, they had a gorgeous floral arrangement at the entrance of the venue and even did a floral arrangement at the ghost's table (so fun). The arrangements on the table were beautifully designed. We received so many compliments that night and knew our wedding was going to be just as amazing. Several months before our wedding, we met with Diane and described our vision for the wedding. On our wedding day, she took our vision and blew away our expectations. To put it in perspective, our guests described our wedding as having a "secret garden" vibe. Diane suggested greenery on the ceiling that gave our wedding a dreamy-look. She also designed the alter with beautiful foliage and florals. Overall, Diane is the best of the best florist. We can't recommend her enough. To reiterate, she will perfectly capture your vision and even take it beyond what you would ever imagine. Her personality is very spunky and is a blast to work with. I will forever remember her joke on where to hold my bouquet!
