When I get flowers it's always from the older gentleman I believe his name is Jimmy. All the orders there esp the women are super helpful and kind. I give him a budget sometimes if $50 or whatever I can do that day and he will make something for me, and show me what we can add or what would make it beautiful. Their flowers are always fresh and sometimes I get the suprise of finding a birds of paradise! This isn't just another shop that puts dye in their flowers. Everything is fresh and organic.

However, what truly impressed me was how Scott's Flowers handled the situation. Kate was incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about making things right. She listened carefully to my feedback, communicated with kindness and transparency, and personally made sure a replacement arrangement was created and delivered promptly. The replacement bouquet featured much fresher, higher-quality flowers, and I could clearly see the extra care that went into it. While the artistic style was still a little different from what had originally drawn me to the website, I truly appreciate the team's sincere effort and commitment to customer satisfaction. Mistakes can happen, but outstanding customer service is what earns trust and loyalty. Kate turned what could have been a disappointing experience into one that made me feel valued as a customer. Thank you, Kate, for your professionalism, patience, and genuine care. I wouldn't hesitate to order from Scott's Flowers again because of the excellent customer service you provided.

As our floral designer, she guided us every step of the way, asked thoughtful questions, understood our vision, and made sure every floral detail matched what we had envisioned for our special day. For our Indian ceremony, the garlands, bouquets, and mandap were absolutely beautiful and beyond what we imagined. For our Cambodian ceremony, the flower arch and floral arrangements were stunning and created the perfect backdrop for the celebration. The reception décor was equally gorgeous. The centerpieces, sweetheart loveseat, and flower arch beautifully matched our theme and created a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere. Every floral arrangement was thoughtfully designed and added so much beauty to our venue. Thank you, Sumithra, for bringing our wedding vision to life and making each ceremony and our reception so memorable. We received so many compliments from our guests and could not have been happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Forest Hills Lilies of the Valley!

We booked this florist nearly a year in advance and spent a considerable amount of money on our…read morewedding flowers. We paid a deposit when booking and were told they understood exactly what we wanted and that we were the only wedding booked for our date at the time. As the wedding approached, we repeatedly had to call and visit the shop to correct details that had been forgotten or misunderstood. We also did not receive a contract until much later in the process, despite already having paid a deposit and having made our arrangements. That was definitely a learning experience for us, and we now know how important it is to have everything clearly documented from the beginning. Unfortunately, even after all of the communication and corrections, when we picked up our flowers the day before our wedding, every single arrangement was wrong, including the bridal bouquet. We had provided specific pictures and clear instructions. The request was simple: roses were supposed to be reserved for the bride, with different white flowers used throughout the rest of the wedding. Instead, roses were used in everything. When we brought this to their attention, we were essentially told that these were the flowers that had been ordered and that there was nothing they could do to fix it. We were also told there were multiple weddings that day, but that should never come at the expense of providing customers with what they ordered. The flowers also could not be delivered the morning of the wedding as originally expected. Thankfully, another florist was able to step in and fix what they could, but having to deal with this the day before our wedding was incredibly stressful and disappointing. What was most frustrating was not simply that a mistake was made, it was the lack of accountability and customer service afterward. Mistakes happen, but how a business handles those mistakes says everything. Our wedding day was beautiful despite this experience, but this was absolutely not what we expected after investing a considerable amount of money and communicating our vision so many times. I sincerely hope this was a major mistake and not intentional, but regardless, I would strongly recommend future couples get everything in writing from the beginning, make sure every detail is documented, and double-check everything before trusting this florist with their wedding day. The images are what I send and what I received. ‍ Decide for yourself

After the call, she sent me a stock photo of what the bouquet would look like. When I got to the flower shop to pick it up, the bouquet looked nothing like it. The woman who I had spoken with wasn't there. The (what looked like or seemed to be) owner was too busy to acknowledge me or even greet me, rummaging through some decorations and arrangements and yelling in Russian at a younger kid, or to ask me what I needed or anything of the sorts. (!) Regarding the arrangement and aesthetics of the bouquet, I wanted calla lilies and while the bouquet was comprised of the flowers, it had zero appeal, beauty or real floral vibrancy. It honestly looked like it had just been sloppily put together, with no real sense of taste, finesse or care. I had to push for it to be reworked - a poor worker did help me out in the end (by going back and fixing it 2-3 times) and I did finally walk out of there somewhat at peace, but the forceful, "send it back to upgrade/better it" notion of it left a bitter taste in my mouth. I'll never go back, for the overall service and quality of the product.

i went to Anton and floral explosion to find out about mandaps and tent decorations and 2 malas for an upcoming hindu wedding and Anton and Val came up with the most beautiful backdrop decoration and crystal mandap i ever saw in my whole life. it brought my husband to tears. i love Anton and his easy way of talking with me and not forcing anything on me. Anton's reputation is well known in the neighborhood as a honest business man and a very caring person. i am happy Anton came through for me. I have nothing but praise and thanks for such a beautiful job. the house decoration, the crystal mandap and all my floral centerpieces and backdrop for the temple was soooo beautiful. i appreciate everything floral explosion have done for me and i highly recommend Anton and his team. read more

Anton's was referred to me by my Godfather and I couldn't have asked for someone better. Mr. Anton was attentive, made suggestions and put colors together that I wouldn't have even thought of. The words thank you isn't enough. My Mandap was perfectly beautiful! My decor at the Hall was amazing, the colors worked out perfectly, table arrangements, back drop, bouquets, boutonnière and the petals were freshly made and smelled wonderful. My guests were very complimentary on the entire decor of both the temple and the hall. Mr. Anton - thank you, thank you, thank you!!

The experiences that I have had with Anton from Floral Explosion has not only been exceptional but Anton has become family. Every event that has happened in our life after meeting him in 2012, he has become a part of. His focus to details and adding that little special factor for you makes you understand that he is a master at his craft and loves to get to know his customers on a personal level. We love dealing with him as he makes it so easy to pull off your vision. 5 star service without breaking your bank. Can't say enough. Greatly recommended! read more

I called and they said the price was normally $75 but because it was Valentines day the price was higher. Is that even legal? They are very friendly and nice but i feel ripped off.

It was my friend's 30th birthday and since I couldn't be there with her, I wanted to send her some really great flowers. After seeing Spruce as one of the top-rated florists (and with Sam P's glowing review!), I decided to give it a go. I was thrilled that I could order online (rather than have to explain to someone what I was looking for) - I ordered my friend white roses in a crate (which looked great on the site). And, honestly, the price wasn't too bad, especially considering how much a crappy bouquet can cost on other websites. Also, they don't have exorbitant shipping and handling fees - delivery is free for most of Manhattan! I ordered weeks in advance and was concerned that the order might get lost. On the day the flowers were supposed to arrive, I called the florist just to confirm that they arrived. Spruce said they had an issue delivering the flowers because she doesn't live at a doorman building. Sad, but I understand that they want to make sure that she is there, though I didn't want to ruin the surprise. I managed to work things out with her husband so that he could get the florist to deliver at a time when he would be home; yay! The next day, Spruce called to confirm that the delivery went through. And she loved them!
