    A Valentine's Day arrangement.
    JP G.

    This has been my second year working for Given Erwin for Valentine's Day and both times I've been very happy. The owner- Cindy, went above and beyond and handled things so I could mail her a card and some earrings to be delivered with flowers, and things went off without a hitch. She was in regularly communication with me throughout the process so I knew when things arrived (the earrings came in at the last minute - phew!) and made me feel like a valued customer. I suppose I should mention - the arrangement came out looking amazing as well.

    bridal bouquet from 1st review
    Kate A.

    I'm not certain how long ago Given Erwin opened up shop. My now-husband discovered the florist shop one Sunday morning when leaving La Cascia's parking lot. He wandered in on a whim and met the proprietor who wound up giving him some free flowers after a nice discussion. Since then whenever he went to get me flowers, he'd go there and I would have a lovely, fragrant, long-lasting bouquet to decorate my house with. The real test came when I got married. We wound up pushing the wedding up by 10 months (thanks, Massachusetts, for penalizing those of us who can't afford COBRA insurance). I had resigned myself to not having any flowers at the wedding due to time and money constraints. My future mother-in-law offered to buy me a bridal bouquet, so we went to see Cindy at Given Erwin. She had one week in which to put together a bouquet. When my then-fianc walked in to ask if she could pull it off she said, "When's the wedding? Because as long as you have 10 minutes I can make this happen." She sat with me and brought me plenty of books to look over. I will say she has no portfolio of the work that she has done herself, only stock books (and every bride will have read in every bridal magazine ever that if she has no portfolio pics you're supposed to walk out right away, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Glad I said screw that and went with my gut). However, as it was right before Christmas I could see the ongoing work for the holiday bouquets she was sending out. She was patient with us and friendly, she offered advice but was never pushy, and presented me with a stunning bouquet on my wedding day. Her prices were reasonable, the flowers were open and healthy, the scent was phenomenal and her style is lovely. The bouquet did not look smushed nor was it too spaced-out. I opted for a "Free Style" bouquet and it was perfect. I would recommend that anyone try this florist out - she's accommodating, friendly and talented.

    $100-150 funeral arrangement... you can judge yourself.

    This is my opinion of the events concerning my order. My Godmother died very suddenly and I had to fly to Boston for her funeral. I called and told the owner I was coming from out of town because I was ordering them in the airport, I ordered two arrangements. I asked one for my mother that said Sister, and another from myself that said Goddaughter. I asked her if she had lilies and daisies for my arrangement because those were her favorite, daisies were a must. I asked for both to be between 100-150$ each. At the funeral I had to give a eulogy and following three day stay with family was emotionally draining. Then I had over a 24 hour layover in DC returning to North Carolina. When I finally got caught up on work I called to complain about the horrible $100-150 childlike arrangement that was sent to the funeral home (which was 8 days after the funeral) Not only did she tell me, "If you didn't like the arrangement why didn't you call me that day?" to which I said UMMMMMM I was at my GODMOTHERS FUNERAL (next time I know to call before or after I give a Eulogy) but she then told me I should have called the next day or when I got back from NC to which I responded, I was with my 35 cousins and 9 aunts and uncles trying to piece our lives together, I'm sorry that then I had to catch up on work where I take care of 140 frail and elderly residents in a nursing home and the funeral flowers were the least of my worry when considering in addition I'm now afraid of mother and grandfathers' health. She responded with, most people would have found the time... Lesson Learned: Next time I know A) not to order flowers here and B) if I don't like the flowers I order for a funeral after the eulogy, but before I go back to work to make sure that my frail elderly residents are taken care of, happy and in good health I should call the florist and complain. NOTED. I could have gone to Market Basket and bought these flowers and stuck them in this vase myself for much less and probably would have looked a million times better in my opinion. AVOID this place, unprofessional, rude and poor sloppy quality is the experience I felt like I had. arg.

    I've been a patron of A Whole Bunch several times for regular flower purchases, and immediately…read morethought of them for my friend's small city hall wedding and celebration lunch a few days later. I went in on a Sunday and spoke with a young lady who quoted me $40 - $50 per each bouquet after showing her a photo for inspiration, and $15 - $20 for the groom's boutonniere. I then received a call Monday from James after placing my order confirming pickup details and price was confirmed to be $120.00 plus tax for my pickup the following day, $50 for each bouquet and $20 for the boutonniere plus tax. He also informed me I would have to come in later than the originally planned 8am pickup time, which was not an issue. On Tuesday I reached out to James to ask if I could pickup the order Wednesday before the ceremony, which he said was fine. I again asked to confirm that on pickup morning I would pay $120.00 for the complete order and pick up the celebration lunch bouquet on Sunday morning, he confirmed. Today, when my sister went to pick up the ceremony flowers, she was told it would be $120.00 for today only and another $100 for the celebration lunch bouquet. She spoke with Shannon, supposed manager, who was incredibly unprofessional and walked away as I apologized for any possible confusion and tried to explain the situation on speaker phone and my conversations with the young lady on Sunday and my 2 calls with James earlier this week. Shannon said, as she walked away from the conversation, that we would just leave it at that price and I could pickup the other bouquet on Sunday. Shortly thereafter I received a call from James, yelling at me and essentially threatening that I shouldn't dare come by Sunday and pick up the other bouquet. I have never been spoken to like this by a man a day in my life, and I was certainly not going to start today. I informed James we did not need his order and hung up. Buyer beware of these scammers, never again.

We took some time deciding who we wanted to use for flowers, so we didn't contact Misty at Nectar until a month before our wedding. First we had a phone call with her to discuss some ideas and send her some pictures. We then met with her at her studio where she had taken our ideas and converted them into a vision board. She went over everything, told us which flowers would look best depending on season, and showed us some other ideas. The fact that we only had a month left was never an issue. We had a general idea of what to expect on our wedding day, but we were blown away by Misty's execution. We got bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, as well as flowers for the arbor and the aisle during the ceremony. We were so happy that our venue was able to reuse the aisle and arbor flowers for the reception because they were so beautiful. We can't wait to get all of our wedding pictures back so we can admire the flowers some more. We strongly recommend Nectar to anyone getting married in the Boston area.
