With only minutes to spare and in desperate need of a fresh bouquet for our daughter who's about to graduate on Mother's Day, we couldn't have been luckier to end up at Almeidas on our way to the big event. Without prior arrangements and being told that they were just about sold out of everything, somehow they managed to put together a lovely arrangement of beautiful long stemmed white roses in less than 10 minutes! The best part was how accommodating and friendly they were the entire time. I don't think we could have pulled this off as smoothly had we gone to another florist. What's amazing was it only cost $35. We got to U Penn on time with her gorgeous bouquet in hand thanks to the lovely folks at Almeidas. Can't thank you all enough. You guys rock! read more

Flourishing Gifts - Last minute bouquet for the happy graduate! - Floral Designers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Love the flowers and handcrafted gifts they started carrying. Looks like yelps hours are wrong because they are open until 2pm on Christmas Eve today for last minute gifts! They also have a funny gag gift lol which I thought was funny. Here are a few pics I snapped of my fav items read more

See all

Some of the best customer service I've ever received. I called with a challenging last-minute request on a tight budget - flower crowns for an important event had fallen through and we needed a set of replacements, quickly. Boy, did they deliver - they produced beautiful pieces in an unbelievably short period of time, and all for a very reasonable price. The communication was perfect throughout the whole process complete with photos as they worked, and the crowns held up perfectly throughout the day. I couldn't have had a better experience and will definitely be back. Thanks again!! read more

Flourishing Gifts - Floral Designers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

When our closest friend mistakenly ordered a vase of roses rather than a bouquet to propose to our best friend the next day (a Sunday), my friend and I blitzed to find a Philly florist that could prepare a bouquet by the next morning. Keep in mind, many artisanal florists are closed on Sundays, or they're delivery by online-order only. We called about 4 florists in the Philly area before stumbling upon Almeidas. Not only were they open the next morning, but the staff was SO, SO KIND, thorough, and cooperative with our requests. Moreover, the bouquets were very reasonably-priced, especially compared to other florists we checked in the area. The bouquet was BEAUTIFUL and I wish I had a picture of it now, but I can say that it was diligently prepared and more affordable than the one our friend ordered online. read more

I can't say how impressed I was with the service and the arrangement! Absolutely beautiful spring flowers! The presentation is fantastic... I have to say I've only had experience with one other florist; I thought that florist was great but Almeidas just blows them out of the water with the variety and even with pricing! Will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

After we got our wedding flowers here, i told my husband not to send me flowers from anywhere else. Today for my 30th birthday I was surprised at work with a beautiful arrangement from Almeida's. My husband asked if there could be tulips even though they are out of season, and there are 2 in the arrangement along with Lillies, orchids, gerbera daisies, and so many others that i do not know the names of (but equally as beautiful!). Thanks again, Artur! read more

As someone who doesn't know much about floral arrangements, this place was great! The lady asked me what colors I want and what price range, and she made such a beautiful arrangement. I got a huge bouquet for about $30. This will be my go-to flower shop. read more

Flourishing Gifts - So pretty - Floral Designers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The service is absolutely stellar and I couldn't ask for better treatment from the owner and his staff. I like to keep fresh flowers in my apartment and I am ALWAYS pleased with the quality of his work! For the price, it's outrageously good and I will always return for more! Two thumbs up to the owner and his team of busy bees. -It doesn't matter if I order one flower or 100 flowers, he packages them equally with such ellegance and pride. read more

I wanted flowers for my wife. I called Amy and she asked what I wanted. I said I do not know all the flower names so week, I just wanted to delight my wife, and asked if she could do it. She asked my price point and said she could do it. I was delighted when several hours later I got a text from my wife, "wow, the flowers are fantastic, best ever." It is now 5 days later and the are even better. Job well done! Thank you. read more

Great for picking up bouquets -- I've received some exquisite ones from here! Would NOT recommend for weddings. took me forever to get in touch with them. then, the owner told me that "brides change their minds all the time", so I should call back when I'm sure that I won't make my bridesmaids switch their dress color. (when I was asked, I had explained that some but not all of my bridesmaids had bought their dresses) I found this to be very condescending and sexist -- I knew what I wanted, so I just said "great, then can I schedule a meeting with you now?" We did schedule a time to meet, but then I had something come up and I was going to need to go out of town. I called a few days before the originally scheduled meeting and asked to cancel and reschedule our meeting. Never received a call back from them! read more

The two gentleman working in the store were very friendly and helpful. They arranged a beautiful bouquet for $30 that included orchids. I thought it was worth more than I paid for it, and it came with lovely paper and a card. Would definitely go back! read more

Best florist in Philly. Artie did the flowers for my business for years. He does exactly what you want!

I stumbled upon this shop while planning my baby shower. His details and craftsmanship are wonderful. Designed my flowers, just by looking at my invitation. Can't wait until I have another event just to purchase is beautiful flower arrangements. read more

An amazing experience here yesterday. Heading to a friend's for dinner and wanted to bring some flowers - I decided to pop in here and it's such a lovely shop that I was nervous to ask him to make me a bouquet for ten bucks, but the owner was happy to... and as another reviewer mentioned, he packaged it with the elegance and pride with which I'm sure he'd wrap a much grander order. I was extraordinarily pleased with the bouquet he handed me, and while he used modest blooms to meet my budget he arranged them with such skill and ease that I was very, very proud to hand them to our dinner hosts. Looking forward to coming back to this shop and will definitely use and highly recommend Mr. Almeida and his Floral Designs to anyone with an event or just looking for a nice bouquet that will surely brighten the day of both the buyer and the recipient. read more

Needed a simple and tasteful bouquet delivered and delivers promptly. They hit it out of the park! Wonderful to talk to and amazing follow through. My new Center City go to florist! read more

Placed an order for a Mother's Day bouquet two days ahead since florists are always busy the day of, and I wanted to ensure that the arrangement would be ready to go when I arrived. The woman on the phone took my order with great care and excellent customer service. Unfortunately, when I arrived, they had not made the order and seemed to have no record of the order. Everyone makes mistakes, and I wouldn't have held it against them, but they did not ever acknowledge that they made a mistake or apologize. They were polite and helped me make another arrangement, but unfortunately at that point most flowers available had been picked over. read more

I bought an orchid here about a month ago on a frigid day. Despite the best efforts of the florist to insulate the plant from the weather, the orchid did not survive the cold. The shop replaced the orchid with a new one that night with no questions asked; I was very impressed with the customer service. Excellent business. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. The owner is incredibly professional, and will treat you well and listen to what you want whether you are spending $10 or $50 on an arrangement. I walk in asking for a color scheme, or perhaps a thank you arrangement for an older male professor, for example, and he comes up with a stunning, fresh, and unique arrangement each and every time. I usually give him my price range, tell him what it's for, and always enjoy our conversations while he creates a beautiful surprise each and every time. I live almost next door, but having such an amazing florist is really what makes getting flowers often so easy. If it had to sum it up in one word, VALUE. It is outstanding here. Give it a try, really, you or whoever is getting the flowers will not regret it. read more

Living in the Seattle Washington area, I am unfamiliar with Philadelphia florists, and I chose Almeidas by reading the reviews on Yelp. I needed an arrangement for my sister who had just gotten home from the hospital, and I wanted the flowers to compliment her contemporary condo. After talking to the extremely pleasant owner, we decided on some tulips ( her favorite flower) and the guidelines were "colorful, contemporary with attitude". Late that afternoon, I received an ecstatic call from my sister describing the arrangement as "gorgeous, dramatic and perfect in her home." She sent me a photo and the arrangement and choice of flowers and design were just what I had imagined. read more

Great service for a surprise birthday party which I arranged in Philly from 100 miles away. Beautiful flower baskets done with panache and creativity. Accommodating with a Sunday delivery to the party site. Just a terrific place to work with. read more

Absolutely terrific and friendly service! Showed up at 6pm on a Saturday and Meghan hooked us up!

Sorry to bust up your 5-Star streak. Got me a fern--a fine piece of flora, no doubt, and at a fair price but the guy said it needed to be watered and fed when I got home and I feel you should have had it fed and watered and ready to go. read more

I've dealt with this place on two separate holidays. First, for a Christmas arrangement and yesterday for Valentine's Day. Both times I dealt with Art, whom I believe is the owner. Both times, I could not have walked away happier. Art is real easy to deal with, the flowers are fresh, Art's arrangements are beautiful and the prices are very reasonable. It's a pleasure dealing with a business that strives as hard as this place does to assure customer satisfaction. read more

I bought a floral arrangement to take as a gift on Christmas. I don't know anything about flowers, I had never purchased an arrangement before, I basically just asked for bright greens with white and red. I picked it up Xmas Eve, it was gorgeous! White, red and lime green flowers with decorative christmas ornaments. My friend's parents used it as their centerpiece and everyone said it was lovely. I was really impressed and the cost was reasonable. I live close by and they always have lovely seasonal bouquets. read more

Stunnning, Always open, Gorgeous, helpful, A+++ I will buy flowers from here for life. A bit dramatic , but Artur, the owner is nice & is always lending a helping hand. read more

This place is a complete rip off, and the customer service is lousy. The whole time I was inside the guy was fighting on the phone with his boyfriend. read more

I chose this florist due to their close proximity to the address of a needed floral delivery. I ordered on line a week in advance for a congratulatory floral arrangement. The delivery was made as scheduled, however what was delivered was far below par from what was pictured on line. Carnations, mums and plastic Christmas berries were a prominent feature of the arrangement and all seemed poorly arranged. I was embarrassed to have sent the arrangement after I saw a picture of what was delivered. I can't see me ever using this florist again. read more

The worst experience of my life. I ordered flowers to be delivered for Valentine's Day and the order never showed up. The following day nothing showed up again so I called back in. I said it's now almost the end of the day, no flowers again. The girl said the order was not sent out again, nobody told her about it. I still don't have the flowers and I still can't get the owner on the phone. read more

I live on the west coast and wanted to find a local florist to send my client when his mother passed away. I had no idea where to begin my search, but after seeing the reviews on yelp I visited the Almeidas Floral Designs website and requested a bouquet. it was after hours so the next day they phoned me and asked me what price range I had in mind and anything else they could do to customize it for me. I told him I trusted him blindly to make something as beautiful as she was. I had written a lengthy quote from the Maya Angelou on my card and he laughed and said it was quite long for a tiny card, so he took the time to write it all out for me on a card and include it with the arrangement he could have chosen to be annoyed but he wasn't he just wanted to do what he could. He came through he sent me a photo of the arrangement and I was blow away it was absolutely beautiful. I went the photo to by business partner and all my friends. I would highly recommend this florist. They are more contemporary and not old fashioned which I loved. read more

I went there for my wedding because I saw all the nice reviews, and usually Yelp gives honest reviews, but my experience was awful. Our meetings were always interrupted with whoever walked in the door and I feel he is arrogant. We were a little unprepared the first time which apparently became entirely our fault. So the second meeting began with him stating that we should be aware of a possible consulting fee, then he forced me to finalize every last tedious detail including the silk bow color between white and ivory!! After I had to decide almost everything on the spot, he told us he will call us with an ROUGH overall price and we can decide from there. It has been a couple weeks and we still haven't heard from him. How long does it take to do a ROUGH estimation?! I usually don't do reviews, but I really do NOT think it is a good place for wedding planning, he will make you even more stressful! read more

Went in last Friday and told Art (who I believe may be the owner) that I was looking to spend $30-50 on flowers for a first date. Being the thoughtful and wise person he is, he told me it'd be better to go with just a $30 bouquet to not raise the bar too high. Came back the next day and he arranged a beautiful bouquet of daisies and gerber daisies of all different colors that my date absolutely loved. Appreciated the fact that Art didn't push me to spend my maximum and was still able to make an awesome arrangement for the $30 I spent. Highly recommend--I'll be back for Valentine's Day. read more

Beautiful designs and great customer service. I was here last week wanting one simple rose. I was treated just as well as if I'd bought $200 worth of flowers. read more

This shop is beyond compare. I have used them many times over the past three years. Their arrangements are beautiful. The prices are fair. The service is friendly and professional.They really go above and beyond. I ordered from them recently, and there was a mistake in the order, when I brought it to their attention, the matter was addressed promptly and graciously. I seriously cannot recommend them enough. I will continue to use this shop for all of my floral needs, and I will whole-heartedly suggest them to anyone who is looking for an excellent florist. read more

I have searched through many floral shops since moving to Philadelphia and there are strengths and weaknesses to each, though I have yet to find a weakness at Almeidas. My fears about high price and limited selection (as is common in the city) were quickly dispelled and the owner talked with me for thirty minutes about flowers, moving to Philadelphia and the food scene here. The flowers themselves were quite impressive, stage one flowers that lasted two weeks+. It was clear after our talk that this is a result of his high standards for flowers he stocks. This is not to say the flowers were expensive; he was very open about the prices per stem (which has also been a frustration in Philly). He was helpful in making sure I knew how to keep them looking their best and techniques that would make them last (apparently vases need to be not only washed, but bleached due to a bacteria that shortens flower life, who knew!). Lastly, he packaged everything in brown paper with a beautifully hand tied bow that complimented my flower selection. In the end, I had a $10 bouquet that looked like a $40 bouquet and the packaging made it appear even more costly. This is where I will be buying flowers for the foreseeable future. read more

Agree with the review below. Beautiful flower arrangements BUT I used Almeida's for my wedding last Fall, and 6 months later, I still remember it as not one of my best decisions while planning my own wedding. The owner was difficult to get in touch with during the planning process. The centerpieces he made for us looked nice and were very affordable compared to other vendors. However, we also wanted a mandap (for our outdoor Indian ceremony) which he had agreed to. In retrospect, I should have probably switched to another florist, because he was never able to send us a picture of the mandap beforehand, so we had no idea what we were getting. He also only supplied two chairs and we had to figure out the rest of the set-up. And, while he had repeatedly assured me that he would be the one to set the mandap up the day of the ceremony, he never showed up himself and instead sent someone else that I had never met! This person had a lot of trouble setting things up and barely got it done in time (and even then only with the help of my day-of coordinator who had to step away from getting other things done). I also ended up setting out all the centerpieces myself in between getting my hair and make-up done. The mandap also did not look good in the end, and looking back at pictures now (and remembering the unnecessary stress that day while I was watching this mandap barely get put together) I really wish I just spent more money and went with another florist. read more

i live right next to this place, and the flower arrangements are so beautiful and so well priced that i have no excuse not to keep the house continually stocked with them. the flowers also last a very long time with minimal but proper care. the guys who run the store are very friendly and helpful, and are more than willing to assist even the novice such as myself. read more
