I often order flowers through a national company that get sent to a florist local to the recipient…read more I feel incredibly fortunate for having discovered that Heather at Colby's Florist is who is behind the astounding floral arrangements my Mother-In-Law has received over the years. Today we had a weird mix up where the name of the recipient auto-filled to our default, which is OUR home address, not my MIL. Very fortunately, Osseo is a lovely, small town where few folks are strangers. Still, Heather went above and beyond to make sure the flowers arrived at the right place to the right person. To match, the flowers are simply gorgeous. They never disappoint! Thank you, Colby's Florist and especially to Heather for the attention to detail and beautiful work today as well as through the years past and those to come.

I have been a customer of Avalon for decades and have always loved their shop. Recently, I ordered…read morea bouquet of flowers for my Mother-in-law's 89th Bday. Her Bday is on St. Patrick's Day, and I mentioned a nod to that, might be ok (maybe a shamrock or something somewhere but not over the top). I told them it was for her dining table in her house, and I would like it to be flowers, not too stuffy or traditional, with some wild flowers, and that her favorite color is blue. They were so nice and helpful on the phone. They delivered it on time, even in a snow storm (A+ really). So when my Mother-in-Law sent a picture of the bouquet they sent, I was shocked. It was mostly green filler with a white flower buried in the middle. It looked like it might hurt someone. She put it on her fireplace (most likely because it would not really go on her table). My first thought was that the arrangement looked exactly like the things you can find in Trader Joe's floral section. I mean, EXACTLY. So, I decided to call them and let them know that it wasn't at all what I expected. I expected a happy floral arrangement with roses, sunflowers, daisies, tulips etc. I also mentioned that it looked like they went to TJ's and bought some filler and stuffed it in a vase. It didn't even really come nicely in the vase, no leaf wrapping raw ends etc. They were quiet when I said it looked to be from Trader Joe's, but to their credit, they were extremely understanding and professional. They quickly made a new bouquet with more flowers as a replacement and sent it out immediately. Avalon sent me a photo to preview the second bouquet and it had yellow tulips and more flowers and pussy willows, so I told them it was beautiful. It was beautiful, compared to the first one. AfterI thinking about it, I realized that these were also flowers ubiquitous to Trader Joe's. One of the pussy willows in the bunch was cut sharp and had no blooms, kind of like a spear . I asked them to fix it, not sure if they did. I like buying cheap flowers for myself at Trader Joe's for a quick bouquet in my kitchen but not for a special birthday presentation. TJ's get seconds from the suppliers, flowers that are smaller or just off grade A. The bouquet was $100 delivered. I would have gladly paid more for a better quality bouquet . I know it is very difficult in this economy for businesses to stay afloat, and my heart breaks for them. I support small businesses all the way, but I think Avalon and other florists should give their customers a choice, let them know what they are getting (maybe offer different levels for different prices). I could have made the bouquet for $20 from Trader Joe's myself. I know there was work, expertise, and service involved, but it just seems wrong. I am writing this so people know what they are purchasing and what choices florists and other small businesses are being forced to make in this economy .

My sister got her wedding flowers done by Sarah at Hive and Hollow and they are **STUNNING.**…read more I literally started crying when we picked them up because I was absolutely blown away at how beautiful they were and how much she captured my sisters vision. Sarah is hands down the most talented florist I have ever met. I have admired her stunning bouquets at the Menomonie Market Food Co-op for years and to see her creativity and talent in the bridal bouquets is beyond my wildest expectations. I will update this review when we have formal wedding photos from the photographer. If I were getting married or needed floral arraignments for any event, I would re-hire Sarah in a HEARTBEAT. She was also extremely professional throughout the entire process and was a true delight to work with. Thank you, Sarah!!!

Dana at Falls Florist & Greenhouse was a dream to work with when coming up with our color scheme…read moreand vision for our May 24, 2024 wedding. Not only was their pricing more than reasonable, but when it came to the day of and seeing our bouquets, arch florals, and florals and greens for the tables, we were absolutely blown away with how beautiful they were. Dana was so kind and patient when working with me in coming up with specific florals I had in mind, and I was so grateful for all the time she gave me during that process. Dana even created a sweet little piece for my mom that was attached to my bouquet to give her, and that meant the world to me. Coming from out of state in a city where florals are astronomically expensive the moment you mention the word "wedding," I was so taken aback by Falls Florals in that they remained reasonable, and truly, more than fair in their prices for the absolutely breathtaking work they do. If you have your wedding in Black River Falls, or somewhere nearby, I would highly recommend working with Falls Florist! Working with vendors such as them absolutely MADE our wedding unforgettable.
