I've tried Gardenhouse Florist a few times since a new owner took over. This used to be "Lucians"…read moreand the flowers and the arrangements used to be spectacular! They did my wedding, baby shower and all my Floral needs with no problem. There's been a big change. I recently ordered a funeral flowers and they were embarrassing. The quality has gone way downhill. Their flowers are older and the arrangements are horrible to say the least and the plants have bugs flying around them not to mention dead leaves. I will give them 2 stars because they do carry a decent line of gifts. More like a bohemian style. The owner is decent but can be a little standoffish. The other staff member, I think she is the one that makes the arrangements-doesn't have a lot of experience and can be pushy. I'm sorry Gardenhouse but you have lost a great long standing customer.

I don't think I have ever been so disappointed using this florist. One of my best friend's sister…read morepassed away suddenly and I wanted to send flowers to the service. I researched West Haven florists, since I wanted to use a local florist vs. order online, and decided on Floral Affair based on several reviews. I called and spoke directly with a woman, who was pleasant, and I gave her a specific name of a floral arrangement that I wanted on their website, that had a grapevine basket and arch in the arrangement. It was beautiful and unique. The picture for the arrangement showed about 2 dozen flowers: pink and purple lilies, gladiolus, gerbera daisies and Bells of Ireland and stated that the arrangement shown was the $90 level, which is what my base price was. I told her I liked whites and pastels after she asked my color preference and I said I the liked the lilies, belles of Ireland, that were in the basket and just in case they had an inkling to swap out any flowers, I did not, spider mums. At the service...I could not even find my arrangement...and was concerned that it had not been delivered. Not one arrangement had a grape vine basket. There were many beautiful, tasteful arrangements there. When my friend and I began to check the cards on each arrangement, she called me over to one that had my name on it. I almost cried in embarrassment! Honestly, the arrangement that was attributed to me was the ugliest, cheapest looking arrangement at the service. It was in a white plastic container and had one dozen of the cheapest flowers a florist could use: carnations and chrysanthemum (mum family). There were 4 other flowers in it...2 belles of Ireland and 2 tiny pink flowers, but I can't remember the name of them. There appeared to be more filler greens than anything else...and honestly it looked like someone had just thrown it together. It was not compact, it was not filled, it was not anything that I had expected. :( I wish I could have taken a picture of it...but didn't feel right whipping out my cell phone at the service. I can't tell you how embarrassed I was explaining to my friend that the ugly, cheap, tasteless arrangement that I sent, was not the lovely, unique, tasteful one that I had chosen to honor her sister. Luckily, we are such good friends...that she made me laugh about it afterwards, but that did not stop the sick feeling I had that 300+ people walked past the cheapest looking arrangement at the service and saw my name attributed to it. Ugh! I did call the florist later, who said she never wrote down the name of the specific arrangement I asked for...told me I never mentioned lilies (which are pictured in the arrangement online) and stated she was out ill the day my arrangement was made and someone else had created it. The person who did create it should never be allowed to work unattended. The arrangement was horrible. But how do you recoup from that disaster? You can't. The woman I spoke with offered me a credit and apologized...but honestly? The damage was already done. I would suggest if you ever use this florist, that you go to the shop in person and give them a list of flowers you want in your arrangement and make it clear what you expect your arrangement to look like. Better yet, use Fitzgerald's in West Haven instead. Many of the gorgeous arrangements that were at the service were created by Fitzgerald's...not a dud in the bunch. Filled baskets with gorgeous flowers, tasteful designs, and lovely colors. Sorry that this review was so long...but it reflects just how disappointed I was in my experience with this florist. :(

Carrie did an absolutely surreal job as our florist. I cannot say enough about how beautiful of a…read morejob she did. I imagine that our project was somewhat challenging in that we provided her with very little guidance but also wanted something different. Our wedding was Southwestern themed with a very bright color palette and we wanted cactuses/air plants/succulents incorporated. Beyond that we had no real concepts. What Carrie delivered was absolutely showstopping! People talked about our flowers all day. They were bright, bold, and unlike anything I've ever seen. She used flowers I'd never heard of to make stunning combinations that perfectly complemented the spiky, funky look of cactus. She brought extra flowers, airplants, and greens with her day-of to add flourishes to any undecorated areas that just tied everything together. When I had to leave after our wedding weekend to go back to work, I genuinely cried as I "said goodbye" to the centerpieces/bouquets that we had to leave at my parent's house. Carrie's work really set the tone for our wedding and made our day full of the most jaw-dropping surprises. I couldn't be more amazed by her talent or grateful to her for her hard work!!

John DeSarbo designed all the floral arrangements for our wedding in 2007. When we first met him,…read morehe had already come up with some arrangement ideas, which none of our other go-sees had bothered to do. He was very attentive and had a lot of suggestions for ways to make our arrangements even better. He really 'got' my vision, and was so patient and helpful throughout the entire year leading up to the wedding. Really, in addition to being HELLA talented, the man has the patience of a saint. On the outside, Fenwick's looks like a mom and pop nursery (its even got a post office inside!) but John is a diamond in the rough. If you had told me before stepping into that tiny little shop that it housed such genius, I'd have never believed you! The man has a gift!
