Tucked away in a quaint old coach house, Colonial Florist is an adorable, local flower shop. The…read morestore itself is overflowing with flowers, flower paraphernalia (pots, vases, ribbons), and cheery, helpful salespeople. Colonial has always helped out when we've needed flowers for family events - even on very short notice (That's right - if you live in the Waynesville area and have received flowers from me, they may have been last-minute. My secret is safe with Colonial!). As a bonus, Colonial is home to a couple friendly animals. Papa B. met a cat on one of his visits, and later that weekend, I was greeted by a German Shepard puppy. Flowers and puppies? It doesn't get much better than that!

The gentleman (Mr. Jack) who took my…read morevery specific order for red tulips and I had what I thought was a long conversation on exactly what I would happily pay $120 including delivery fee for a bouquet of red tulips. Apparently, I was wrong because what was delivered was a bouquet of lilies with tulips. I call and spoke to Mr. Jack and his response to my dissatisfaction was... "I did you a favor by adding the lilies plus I didn't charge you for the lilies" I did not ask him to add any other flower to MY ORDER and I was quite thrilled in his assurance that my requested bouquet could be filled. Sadly, he ruined my birthday gift to my dear friend. I will never give my business to Colonial Floral & gifts ever again nor will I recommend them to anyone. Mr. Jack did offer to go pick up the arrangement that was delivered to my friend informing me that -he would be "happy to go pick up the bouquet" So, that's how CF&G do business. Such a shame!

READ THE BAD REVIEWS! They are all reflective of our TERRIBLE experience with Four Seasons Florist,…read moreand specifically the owner, Karen. We cancelled our June wedding due to COVID-19 and opted to elope in the Great Smokies. We were thrilled when we found a local florist that could fulfill our small order (bouquet, boutonniere, and a few cut flowers for our tiny wedding cake). Despite the questionable reviews, we opted to take a chance. Our wedding planner had multiple calls with the owner and pictures of my desired bouquet aesthetic were sent, well ahead of time. Less than a week before our ceremony, I personally had a call with Karen to discuss exactly what I wanted (white and blush roses combined with blue hydrangeas in a tight, simple arrangement--that's it). On our way to the store to pick up our order, our planner calls us and is practically in tears. It is the day of our wedding, and she was told they did not have any blush roses, despite months of requests. While she is trying to discuss this, Karen had the audacity to hang up on her! Our wedding planner has become one of my best friends and is literally one of the nicest people I know. No one should ever be that rude to her. On our arrival to the shop, I saw the bouquet on the counter. Karen opted to not include the requested flowers and created something more suitable for a flower girl. Before we had a chance to say anything, the owner said she would credit our account as she "did not think she could make us happy." I then noticed some blush (well, pink) roses in the cooler and asked her to please remove the unwanted flowers (and large bow) from my bouquet and to please replace them with the pink roses. After much pleading on my part, she reluctantly agreed. I graciously thanked her for working with us but received a snarky reply implying WE were difficult to deal with, and that "it comes with the territory." I am not sure what has happened to customer service, especially at this store. Karen was beyond rude. She was ill-mannered, unprofessional, and obstinate. We were grossly overcharged for flowers that were absolutely not as promised. It takes a lot for me to leave a bad review, so I will end on a positive note. The boutonniere was beautiful.

I fully expected their schedule to be too full and for them to explain how they couldn't do what I was asking. Not only did they agree to give extra help, they stepped up in several ways to help my mental state and help the wedding turn out well. They did extra work, provided advice, gave me "counseling" , they took EXTRA steps to help our wedding turn our beautifully. They came up with plans for ways to add to the decor. They stayed to help my daughter with her dress. Just so many caring actions to help us make the day extra special. Everyone remarked how beautiful the flowers were! It helped make the day perfect.
