Debbie discussed my request for a floral arrangement for my mother's funeral. She was very sympathetic for my loss and assured me not to worry about the flowers getting there on time. The flower arrangement were delivered and were beautiful. read more

Needed to send some "sunshine" to a good friend in Connecticut. I am always nervous about ordering flowers out of state; had a few bad experiences, so I ordered direct from their website. Couldn't be happier with the arrangement. My friend sent this picture right away and said the surprise made her day! read more

Colonial Flower Shoppe - Hello Sunshine Bouquet Deluxe - Florists Near Me - Somers, Connecticut

Gifted myself with a bunch of lovely decor items from their beautiful Christmas Shop. Did a short, targeted trip (a time when nobody else was there but 2 ladies working behind the register/flower arranging area, wore a surgical & cloth mask, spent as much as time as possible as far as I could get from the register, etc). I'd seen online a smattering of what they had to offer (in reality they had much more, but I had the general idea). As an immunocompromised person, I just wanted a little mitigated-risk shopping in a quaint little setting. My little slice of holiday shopping perfection was a real gift. The shop itself was lovely, with little vignettes set everywhere--glittery trees and red cardinals and berries here, rich burgundy velvet and gold pieces and pine boughs there, woodsy things, garden things, coastal theme scenes--something, I think, for about anyone. It was just enough variety to produce that special shopping experience without the overwhelming "oh my goodness there's still another room?!?" you can get in some places (much love for big villages of shops, but not for me this year). I quickly picked an armful of pretties for my living room now and into deep winter. It's going to look soooo pretty, and I will be back for spring! Colonial Flower Shoppe has some very beautiful things, including their own stunning florals. Oh, yes, I will be back. I would not have a proper review without mentioning the good people who run daily operations (probably the owner and an assistant?). Two very friendly, genuinely caring women who not only complimented me on my selections, they also found a perfect box and protective wrapping to put everything together safely in one box for transport but also with storage in mind. THANK YOU!! You've made my life easier! Have a happy holiday season, ladies, and we'll see you in the new year, God willing. read more

I recently placed an order online with 1800-flowers to have a bouquet of flowers delivered. Colonial Flower Shoppe received the order to fulfill. I am beyond embarrassed of what they delivered and left in front of my sister's garage door. I order a medium size bouquet for my sister's baby who passed away 4 years ago and every year we send flowers on my niece's birthday to celebrate her. The bouquet received was nothing like the picture or description on the website. Someone from the flower shop called my sister to confirm she received the flowers but it just so happened that my sister sent us a picture letting us know she received flowers. We asked her where are the rest of them? That's when she told me the lady from the flower shop said the bouquet was correct. The lady's response was, since 1800-Flowers takes many fees and delivery charges etc that's all the flowers you get and to next time call direct and don't go through them 1800-flowers. I'm sorry but this is not a good business practice. If this flowers shop does not feel they are getting compensated correctly, they should not take it out on customers who agreed to pay a lot and then get a skimpy bouquet delivered which is completely embarrassing. Maybe they should opt out from 1800-flowers instead of doing this to customers. Attached is the medium sized bouquet I ordered from online. There are 4 different sizes. I made sure to save the picture of the medium. The other picture is the bouquet that was delivered to my sister. If I could give a zero for a review I would. read more

The Colonial flower shop delivered flowers to my Mother for her 100th Birthday. They left them outside on a Friday when NO ONE was home until we arrived on Monday afternoon. The flowers were in a broken vase with no water inside and a plastic vase surrounding it. I immediately called shop on the Monday..they were closed. Received phone call on Tuesday. They wanted me to put the broken vase with the flowers and plastic bag outside in order for them to replace them. These had already been thrown away. I have never had a flower shop leave flowers outdoors with NOONE home. A card is usually left to indicate delivery attempt. The shop said they don't use these cards anymore. read more

I received a very disappointing bouquet of flowers for my birthday. Sadly this is not the first time this has happened from this shop. My sister called the shop with her concerns and the owner wouldn't even come to the phone to speak to her. Definitely not worth the $$ paid. read more

They were very honest and straightforward about what they could and couldn't do. I appreciated their candor. Since the flower supply is challenging right now, not everything that they typically use is available right now. Despite those challenges, they were able to put together a lovely basket to celebrate an important birthday. They were also kind enough to text me a photo of the finished arrangement, so that I would see what they created. Very nice people. read more

Colonial Flower Shoppe - The most gorgeous arrangement Ive ever seen! - Florists Near Me - Somers, Connecticut

First let me say the balloon bouquet was beautiful! The aggravation in having it delivered was not. My aunt used 1800flowers to have balloons and a bear delivered to my daughter for her birthday. Last minutes we needed to change plans and were not home when it was delivered. Colonial Flower called my cell phone to see if my order has been delivered. They stated it was on an enclosed porch. I do not have an enclosed porch so I checked my security cameras and it had not been delivered. I suggested that maybe it had been delivered to my neighbors house because their drive way is near mine. They asked me for my neighbors phone number which I do not have and even if I did wouldn't have given out to someone. If I had their number I would have called them myself. I stated that I was away and had no way to check on the order myself. Was asked if I knew the neighbors name and to be honest I don't. The recently moved in. Again I stated I was hours away and had no way to help locate the wayward delivery and they would have to try on their own. Not five minutes later my cellphone rang again and it was the florist stating that they were looking at the house on the Internet to see if it was my house. I am not sure what they were looking at but said they were just going to have to figure it out because I was standing in the rain and needed to be with my family. She then put the owner on the phone who asked me to put myself in her shoes as a business owner. She just wants to contact my neighbors and see if it's still there. Again I can't help with that they just need to come back and look to see if it was there. And since she wanted to know what I would do as a business owner instead of pestering a costumer who has no way of assisting you, you should be trying to solve the problem. I really couldn't spend any more time on it I contacted my aunt who placed the order and and she tried her best to assist them which really isn't her job!! It still took another 2 and 1/2 hours of trying to find number of homes it could be at for someone to drive 15 minutes to rectify the situation. It was actually delivered to number 11 but the wrong street. That was an honest mistake, no biggie. I am not upset about that. It should have been taken care of by the business efficiently. read more

I think their pricing is very high and does not equal what you get. Sparse arrangements that do not last very long

What a lovely place! Stopped in to pick up a bouquet for a dance recital and wasn't expecting to find such a charming shop and helpful staff!!! read more

Debbie did beautiful flower arrangements for my son and daughter in law's wedding. They had a budget to keep and she patiently helped us to keep the flowers in line with the budget and they were gorgeous. Everything was there and on time. read more

My son ordered a very expensive ordered an arrangement online, from , FromyouFlowers.com. Colonial Flower Shop received the order . The delivery was late, the balloons deflated, and arrangement was smaller than ordered. Two flowers already had brown spots on them. When I called to get a partial refund I got one excuse after another. Buyer beware with this place!! There are other florists that are far better and willing to work with clients. read more

I ordered a beautiful and expensive large arrangement for my mothers birthday party through 1800flowers, but what she received was an embarrassingly amateur arrangement. It looked absolutely nothing like what I ordered. I would have preferred an email or a call to let me know that the arrangement I ordered could not be accomplished. I understand that flowers may vary, which is explained when ordering, but this arrangement had NO filler flowers at ALL, which in the original picture made the bouquet look exquisite! The roses, besides being poorly arranged, were already opening! So they will die in just days!!! To boot, the container I requested wasn't even the right container! This shop FAILED miserably! read more

I have ordered flowers from Colonial for many years, and have always been impressed with Debbie's ability to understand my needs and construct the most beautiful and appropriate arrangements. One was for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary - she really helped us make it a special time. Recently, I needed an arrangement for my beloved uncle's funeral. She patiently explored what he was like, and took the time to recommend something that was truly unique. When we saw the flowers next to him at the service, it was astounding; his family was overwhelmed. Debbie truly knows and loves what she does, and it shows in her work. read more

I did not want to purchase hanging annuals for my porch before my vacation on 7/4/2018 because I had no one to water while I was gone. I had to wait until I returned on 7/10/2018 to purchase hangers which is very late in the season for them. I went to every garden shop in Enfield and East Windsor looking for decent flowers and everyplace was picked over and what was left looked very scraggly, unkempt and unhealthy. I decided to try Colonial because of the beautiful mums I had purchased there in fall of 2017. The hanging flowers are beautiful and healthy, I had a hard time deciding which ones to take home. The woman working outside was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. From now on Colonial will be my first stop for flowers. I noticed a review said the prices were high but I found the opposite. Superior flowers for the same price as other flower shops maybe a couple of dollars more. I don't mind paying a little more for vibrant and healthy flowers. read more

I received the most beautiful bouquet of flowers from my son for Mother's Day 2018. He lives in Philly and called the 1-800- florist number to order the flowers. The flowers that were delivered came from Colonial Flower Shoppe in Somers CT. I had to call the shop to let them know how pleased I was with the arrangement and to find out who created the bouquet. This bouquet, created by Debbie, was an incredible array of beautiful, bright, fresh flowers. I will definitely use this florist in the future. I've received many bouquets in the past from various floral shops and this by far is my favorite. read more

I received the saddest looking bouquet from this place. They left it on the porch. The container was way too big for the amount of scrawny amount of flowers. When I called them they just made excuses. I would not recommend this place AT ALL! read more

I can not thank Deb and her team enough for the beautiful work they did for our wedding two weeks ago. She worked tirelessly for months to make everything perfect. She took my ideas and ran with them, paying attention to every single detail. The majority of compliments we got on our wedding day were for her flower arrangements and decorations. The flowers on the cake, the garland and candles on the head table, each beautiful centerpiece filled with flowers and fruit, the ceremony backdrop, it was all better than I could have ever imagined. Deb and her team made our wedding an absolute fairytale dream. The planning was easy, the delivery was prompt (thanks Leslie!) and the end result was better than I ever dreamed. I cannot thank Colonial Flower Shoppe enough for their services, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for floral decor for any occasion! read more

The only reason I'm awarding one star is there is no way to give 0. Out of town friends recently had flowers delivered to a relatives wake/funeral. Flowers were not fresh looking, were VERY skimpy, and looked as if some were missing from the arrangement. One was losing petals within hours. When the senders arrived, they were extremely embarrassed. Pretty low to take advantage during a time of sorrow. The group who sent the arrangement spent good money, and in no way received commensurate value. read more
