I received my birthday flowers from my daughter late at night of my birthday. That was fine. But the arrangement was pitiful. Five sparse branches of flowers put in a vase in a not attractive way, very very sparse with one green huge leaf folded over with a few stones on the bottom of the vase. Really not very well done. I would not place an order with them based on what was delivered to me last night. read more

I wish I could do less that one star. I placed an order on December 12th to be delivered on December 23rd. On the 23rd I called to confirm that everything was good to go. I was assured the flowers would be delivered by 5:30 on December 23rd. They were never delivered. When I called the phone number listed I was sent to a phone service that forwards calls but for some reason they could not forward my call. I was out on and off hold for over 30 minutes where their only solution was to take my name and number and have someone call me back. On the 24th j called and was told the same thing. I Facebook messaged the shop and finally got a response and asked for them to call me... they did not. I was told that due to weather, the delivery driver was having trouble finding the address. It was raining... not a hurricane, not a blizzard, simple Wilmington rain. I asked how they were going to make this right as I had ordered in advance and had been told when to expect them and they said that if I didn't want the flowers any more they could refund me. I told them I needed the flowers delivered by 12pm or I'd be going to the Better Business Bureau. The shop responded that they would be fully refunding me as they could not guarantee my order by 12pm. The order was supposed to be ready the day before and delivered. I am so appalled by this store. The flowers were for my fiancé's mom and nana as this will be their first Christmas in 27 years with out him there. It was supposed to be a beautiful surprise for them and it was ruined by an incompetent flower shop. On top of all of this no one communicated any issues to me via phone or email. If the delivery driver truly was struggling my phone number was on the flowers. I highly recommend taking your service elsewhere if you intend on receiving your order in a timely manner. read more

I was pleased that they did replace the bouquet delivered last Saturday. At least they corrected the order with new flowers. read more

My son sent Mother's Day flowers with a box of truffles. The flowers are fresh, bright, cheery colors in a beautiful jardiniére. The truffles taste homemade. I was working in my yard and did not hear the bell so the deliverer called to let me know of the delivery. Wonderful florist! read more

Creative Designs By Jim - Florists Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

I ordered a floral arrangement via FTD for a Memorial Mass and it did not arrive until afterwards. My sister even had to go back to pick up the arrangement from the funeral home later that day. There were dead flowers in the arrangement. When I called to find out what happened I was met with rudeness and denials. Told to call FTD to resolve my problems. Well they may have been able to help with monetary refunds but I was first and foremost looking for an apology and explanation as to what had happened. I Received none of that! I did contact FTD and was treated with respect and kindness. I can only help this lady was having a bad day and DOES NOT normally treat her customers in this manner. read more

This business, otherwise known as Creative Designs by Jim, is in serious need of a leadership change and deserves a minus star rating instead of a one-star rating. Other reviews support this feedback, so ordering from this business is risky and could result in extreme embarrassment. In this time of financial uncertainty, customers expect purchases of floral arrangements to be of excellent quality. In addition, we expect to be able to best utilize our time and resources by ordering online. Ordering locally is always preferred, but out of town folks may not always know the vendors. Today (06/12/2019) is my birthday, and my sister ordered a 'premium' $65 arrangement online to be delivered 06/11/2019). She received notification that the arrangement was delivered yesterday, but it was not delivered. I was home the entire day. Today, a small, poor-quality arrangement with a tag marked for 06/11/2019 delivery arrived. The water smelled of sulfur and was cloudy. The roses were wide open and at the end of life. Other flowers were droopy and poor quality. When my sister called, Jim was very rude and told her, "That's what you get when you don't order locally." He said he would definitely not replace the order. Given his response, I would never order from "Jim" again. This is the first time that I have ever heard of such a response. I couldn't be more disappointed. read more

My Sisters ordered flowers using the teleflorist. They arrived to funeral home late for the memorial service. I picked them up the day after. They were white Lillie's and three hydrangea. Two of which were dead from not being in any water. When she called to let them know they were rude and said they were not late and not dead I have pictures the lilies were marked like they were dying. I think someone whom is in the business of dealing with people who have lost loved ones would be a little more giving and understanding. I am appalled at how they responded to my sister. They spent good money and did not receive what they paid for. I am so disappointed. read more

We ordered an upgrade arrangement from wecare@youflowers.com of tulips and daisy with filler for my daughters 25 birthday . Jim delivered the wrong flowers on the wrong day with a get well balloon ( was to be happy birthday). He tried to tell me that tulips were out of season . WHAT ! He put three roses and a few daisy in a clear vase , it looked awful , he ripped us off & I'm guessing someone sick did not get their flowers I'm am waiting to see if our daughter gets her big birthday flowers of tulips and daisy just like the picture we picked out ! delivered on her birthday ! with the balloon .Nov 8 as Jim said he would . read more

I placed an order online and was provided with a delivery time and fee based on the address and zip code. I later received a call stating that they could not deliver to that address. At that point, it was too late to order flowers from another store. They need to fix their website so it does not allow you to place an order to a location that they will not deliver. They also need to advertise their delivery limitations on the website. read more

These flowers where for my wife and she is an employee at New Hanover Regional Medical Center, she was not a patient as you implied. All the proper information was given to you Jim several times and never were there any privacy issues that would keep you from making this quite simple delivery. Believe me I am very understanding when things don't go as planned.....but with you, it was always something, mostly arrogance and the truth was never with you. read more

I ordered a $90 bouquet through my florist a week before valentines day. This florist advertised the best price so my florist then ordered them through this florist. Creative Designs by Jim then raised the price higher than the competitors, delivered them the day after valentines day and they died within 24 hours. When my florist requested a refund or discount, Creative Designs by Jim never responded. They are now on my florist's list of florists not to use in the Wilmington area. read more

I placed an order for flowers to be delivered to my mom today. I was excited to have a flower shop delivering same day on Valentine's day. I just received an email stating they had been delivered. I called my mom who said she can't received the flowers. I could have gone with a reputable company, if I had known they wouldn't be delivered today. Stay away from this place. read more

If I could give negative stars I would!!! I ordered flowers for my mother for mothers day, they were suppose to be delivered on Thursday and were not. They finally delivered them Friday and the flowers were already wilted. So my mother calls them to complain and leaves a voice message waiting for them to call back which never happened! So she decides to stop in there and show them the wilted flowers which he didn't want to replace but eventually did. I have to say by far the worst experience I've ever had with a florist and will absolutely never ever use again!!! Jim you really need to brush up on your floral skills because obviously I'm not the only one with complaints!! read more

My son ordered Mother's Day flowers for me and the delivery date showed they had been delivered on 5/12/2018. The flowers actually arrived the next day and they were not the selection or vase he had purchased. Worst of all, half of the flowers were either wilted or dead. Extremely disappointed. read more

This arrangement looks like it came from a bargain basement. The flowers were tacky and the poorest quality. It was suppose to be 12 long stem roses. It came as 2 tiny stalks with 4 miniature roses on each stalk. They added 2 roses of normal size minus the stalk. It looks like a joke. read more

I would give them zero stars if that was an option! They delivered an arrangement for my birthday - but the four stargazer lilies were damaged and looked half dead. I called to complain, saying that although the roses and gerbera daisies were lovely, the lilies were a mess. They told me, "they aren't open yet" blah blah blah. I told them that these were not "unopened" lilies, but DAMAGED! They promised a replacement bouquet the next day, but never showed up. Do NOT use this florist! Also, the delivery woman was on the phone when she delivered, and cussing at whomever she was speaking to. Totally unprofessional! read more

Awful! I was incredibly disappointed in the services provided by this catering company. The staff was unprofessional and late. The bartender provided by the company was frequently away from the bar and my guests had to get their own drinks. I, the bride had to wait for a drink which I think is ridiculous. He was also drinking our liquor throughout the entire reception!Overall, terrible experience read more

I just received the most lovely floral arrangement for my anniversary. The flowers were fresh, gorgeous and tastefully designed. The colors of mauve, and ecru roses blended perfectly with the violet shades of other flora. It made my first anniversary special. My co-workers were jealous. Thank you for a perfect gift to enjoy all week long. Diane L. read more

Terrible flowers - Absolutely hideous. Do not order from this place you will be very disappointed!! Half the flowers were practically dead or dying and the petals were falling off. Very VERY disappointed!!!!! read more

I received a small pitiful looking arrangement today. The "card" with no envelope was tacky which contributed to the poor presentation. The sender said she had a terrible customer service experience and felt she was scammed. I feel terrible for her. read more

I shocked and curious about all these horrible reviews. I have gotten 5+ arrangements from Jim over the course of 2 years, for a variety of reasons, from a variety of people and they have all been spectacular, fresh and delivered with a smile. The card is on printed stock with a floral background and is apparent within the bouquets very tastefully displayed. Who needs an envelope? Keep up the great work! read more

I received a fresh flower arrangement from this business and I absolutely loved it! The sweetheart roses were closed with the accompanied blue and purple flourish that I did not expect. I watered the arrangement once a day and the blooms gave new life every day. I wish I had a pic to share! This beautiful arrangement lasted in full bloom, with nothing dying, not even petals, for 9 straight days! I highly recommend this business! read more

THIS PACE IS A SCAM!!!! I highly recommend you do not order from these people. I ordered 12 carnations (40$) box of chocolates(10$) 10$ for delivery. They didn't show up to my moms house the day after Mother's Day until 7pm. She was given a cheaper arrangement that I didn't order and no chocolates. The lady who was so sweet the day I ordered, completely shifted attitude and I've never been so disrespected from any other seller. They pretty much told me to f myself and that it was ok for them to send what they want. They told me they would compensate me with the chocolates I never received and no refund was possible. My father showed up to there business the next day and it was clear they were open but he said they hid when they saw him. I hope this place shuts down real soon, because others should not have to go threw the same frustration I did. Don't let them ruin a special surprise or event because they will. Sincerely, Peter read more

Ordered flowers through Teleflora on line. Tasteful Creations filled the order. The Christmas arrangement my daughter received was far less appealing than the advertised picture. If you look at the photos, the arrangement on the table is what was received. Not even close to the internet picture. (photo #2) I complained to Teleflora and they stated that they contacted this florist and was assured the value of the arrangement was fulfilled. Really!! The pictures tell the real story. Very unhappy. Would not order from this florist or Teleflora agin. read more

I ordered via FTD.com - a level 3 birthday arrangement (to the tune of $80!!) for my mother's birthday, on the 14th. Well, those flowers arrived last night. 1. Tasteful Creations delivered the flowers a week early. A WEEK EARLIER THAN THE DELIVERY DATE. 2. Tasteful Creationsdelivered them ON HER PORCH and DID NOT CALL HER. The flowers sat out overnight and were (obviously, it's mid-winter) RUINED. 3. Oh, and the flowers? Clearly a level 1. The pictures look NOTHING like each other. You can't even tell it's the same types of FLOWERS. So, they ruined a birthday surprise, they delivered WITHOUT CALLING AND LEFT BOUQUET OUTSIDE IN WINTER... And they delivered the WRONG bouquet of cheaper, crappier, now-wilted flowers. Have they returned a call? Are they going to refund? Are they going to send the correct flowers, in a week, like paid for?? No. I can't get anyone to return a call or email. FTD is sending me a $20 rebate on my next order. AS IF I WOULD EVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN. Stay away from Tasteful Creations, please. What a horrible waste, and way to ruin a long-distance surprise present. read more

I called from Wisconsin on Friday 4/29 and placed an order to be delivered to my granddaughter in celebration of her lead role in her high school. I received an email confirmation with all the correct information. The flowers NEVER GOT DELIVERED TODAY. What kind of a florist takes your very detailed order, charges you for it and never delivers it. Very poor service. I would never order from this florist!!!! read more

I can't believe these people are still in business. Two of my daughters paid a lot of money for Mother's Day flowers for me. One of my daughters wrote a complaint the other also ordered a beautiful bouquet plus balloons. She also spend a lot of money. The flowers were 1/2 the ones shown in the picture. NO balloons and when she called to complain they gave her a hard time and just wanted to refund her $35.00. BEWARE! when you order make sure you send a picture to the people you are giving the flowers to. They might be pretty enough BUT they may not be what you paid for..... read more

I received a bouquet of cut irises for Mother's Day on Saturday. Yesterday (Sunday) the irises began to wilt...this morning they look horrible. I would think the flowers should have lasted more than one day! There was no packet of "flower food" with the order to extend the life either. I am certain my daughters who sent them from Colorado would have wanted something more long lasting. I am very disappointed! PS...after leaving a message to be called back by the florist, I still have received no reply five hours later. PSS...after 5:00 pm...I called back, answering machine...I have NO expectations that this florist will "make it right"...buyer beware!!! This florist is unprofessional...and gives many customers flowers that are NOT FRESH! I will let all my family and friends know to NOT use Creative Designs by Jim...they will waste their money if they do!!! read more

After researching this company I was amazed they had been in business as long as they have. It has to be because most of their orders come from an Internet ordering service and people don't really know who they're actually dealing with. As was the case with me. Ordered flowers for a birthday gift, paid extra for the guaranteed day of, delivery. At 4 the day of delivery, I was told delivery couldn't be made. Reluctantly choose the option of having them delivered the next day, which is really irritating. Next day comes and a guy shows up, with no credentials whatsoever stating where he was from or who he represents delivering what vaguely resembles flowers. They were wrong color, and two of the roses had dead spots on them. The daisy mix had, what looked like paint spots on some of them AND they smelled like smoke. Classy... Learned a lesson here, if possible, just contact city directory and find a local flower shop that has a good reputation. Reviews DO matter, sometimes it takes a little longer but this place will ultimately go under. read more

My daughter bought me flowers for Mother's Day last week they were bought through flowers direct tasteful creations delivered the flowers Monday afternoon they were pitiful for the price by Thursday they nearly all dead I rang the company up and their response was flowers are only guaranteed 4 to 7 days what a waste of money I would definitely not recommend this business they aught to be ashamed of them selves read more

I would suggest steering clear of this company.Obviously they don't know how to run a business! I ordered Mother's Day flowers that never got delivered. The driver called to confirm with the recipient the address and no flowers ever came. The driver never called again. Still two days later and two phone calls to the company...No flowers or call back. When I finally DID get a hold of the owner Will, he proceeded to tell me that they would not try to redeliver for FREE and that he only receives $10 per delivery. (Thats not my problem since they NEVER got delivered). He was also very rude to me over the phone and made a point to tell me he does not have specific details on my order. He also said the order was canceled on May 13 which I find strange since I did not cancel the order until May 15th. This was his defense for the flowers never being delivered when original delivery date was May 11th.??? I know Mothers Day is a busy time but he made no effort to correct the problem or deliver the flowers at all, and his customer service was the worst I have ever dealt with.To conclude, this business is a scam! It takes money from people and never follows through with the services it says to provides. read more

I live in New England and ordered flowers from Tasteful Creations they were for my Mom she lives in Wilmington NC. Well she received them and they where absolutely beautiful and Jim put a nice card in with them. I still hear about these flowers from time to time and what a beautiful job they did. I will be sending her flowers again in the future from Tasteful Creations. read more

This Florist is the most INCONSIDERATE florist I have ever dealt with!!! I received a call saying my flowers were at my door, (these were flowers that my father sends me EVERY year for my birthday), so I went downstairs to get them about a half hour later and they were not there!? So I called back the # on the caller ID...Cory said he did put them at my door, but I told him I did not see them he must have brought them to another house. He assured me he did not. I asked him to confirm my house # and he proceeds to tell me that my house is brown...which it is NOT...it is light creamy yellow with white trim. I asked him to come and find the house he brought them to and bring them to me...he said he would do it the next day....wow...I said the next day was not my birthday any longer, and he said that was all he could do since it was late and he was already home...it was only 5pm. I said I would have my father cancel the order and he said, "OK"! I did search all my neighbors homes and found them...and the neighbors were actually out of town for a week...hmmm! The next day I spoke with Jim, the owner and he told me that it was an honest mistake. I also said that I counted the flowers and my dozen roses only had 11 flowers, and asked him when did a dozen become 11...he said I would get new ones that day. I did get new ones and they were much prettier than the first and seemed more put together. NEVER USE THIS FLORIST!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

My daughter sent flowers for Mother's Day. I text a picture of them with a thank you. She called back very upset. She had ordered level 3, I received level 1. I have pictures to prove this point. The flowers were delivered Saturday, several flowers are already losing their petals. I called Tasteful Creations to try and resolve this, but they did not return the call. read more

worst service ever. A family member ordered flowers yesterday for same day deliver and paid extra for it. I called this morning and was told they never received this order till this morning. They proceeded to tell me I would receive them this morning. It's 1:30 and I called again and was told the driver had four more stops and then I should receive my delivery. Sounds like 4:00 to me. Now I just received a call from "Jim" that he just notice the arrangement hasn't even left as they were waiting on lilies. I don't think Jim has a clue. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE!!!!!!! read more

I called to tell the florist that the flowers I received were not what was ordered. The florist spoke to me in a loud and angry voice and argued that I was sent what was ordered. He asked if I stood next to my relative as she placed the order. He assured me he was the owner and I amazed at his rudeness. It took four calls to get a reimbursement. read more

Delivery was supposed to be complete early in the day. Did not arrive until 4pm and was missing part of the order. They promised to make up for it by doing a second delivery on the next business day and never did. No contact made to customer. Do not use this company. They are not good for their word, quality or service. read more

They completely ruined our Valentine's Day. My husband bought flowers on the website and arranged for them to be delivered at my work before I finished at 2:30pm. He received a confirmation email saying the order went through just fine. They had his phone number & email and never once contacted him to let him know they were not going to be able to deliver before that time (even though the store is 5 minutes from my work). They had all day to drive 6 miles and deliver my flowers that I ended up having to go back to work and pick up when they were finally delivered at 5pm. No longer a surprise :( My husband was outraged and I was very upset. It's like having an Easter egg hunt and forgetting to hide the eggs or putting Christmas presents out the day after Christmas and waking up Christmas morning with nothing. Over-charged flowers and paid $10 to deliver 6 miles and you couldn't even make it on time. read more

I ordered flowers for my mother on line through 1800flowers. They used this company. To say the flowers were anything close to what I ordered would be a lie. It was 1/2 the amount pictured and not even close to the flower arrangement I ordered. To try and get a human on the line to help is ridiculous! I have never written on yelp, but between this aggravation and the 1800flowers aggravation....I am now! Customer service is non-existent. Stay away! read more

I wish i could give no stars... The worst flower shop in NC by far. I ordered flowers at 830 am on Wednesday the 13th of December for my mom's birthday to be delivered by no later than 1pm that day to her job even layed 4.99 expedited fee to insure that but instead was let down when my mom received nothing so i called to fix things they refunded me my 4.99 and said it would be there the 14th no later than 12pm well no suprise my mom received nothing again well i called back mad as hell and was told i would be getting half my money back of 61$ a bigger bouquet then what i ordered and the balloon on Friday 2 days later than i wanted so Friday rolls around and my mom received the bouquet i originally ordered not a bigger one and they were the ones from Friday not even fresh ones and she got no balloon. Worst service ever the only thing i would recommend about this buisness is never go here waste of money and you will be upset. They should be closed down read more
