Came in to buy a bouquet of flowers for one of my girlfriends…read more There's a lot of parking in the lot. Google Maps for some reason tried to take me to a different spot, but just look for the big blue shop. You can't miss it! I love that the shop is such a distinct color because it helped me find it easily. I came a bit before 6PM and had never been here before, so I was unsure what to expect. I was happy to find that there was no one inside at that time other than three staff members. One of the staff asked what I was looking for specifically, and I said a bouquet around $50. He helped me look for a ready-made bouquet in their fridge, but there wasn't one ready at that price. He said they could make one at whatever price point I had in mind and showed me a laminated sheet that laid out pricing options: a dozen red roses for $50, $50 of other flowers, or a mix. He asked if there were specific flowers or color themes I had in mind, and I told him I'd defer to him for the design. They could also adjust based on price range, which was nice to know. I ended up buying a mixed bouquet for $30 (shown in the photo). He then pointed me to a station where you could write notes and cards for the recipient. There was a nice variety of cards and envelopes in different colors. They had my bouquet ready in 10 minutes, which was great for a walk-in order. The bouquet was wrapped up beautifully and smelled wonderful. Highly recommend!

I don't normally go out of my way to leave reviews unless my experience is really poor or really…read moregood. In this case, it was really good and I feel honor to be the first to leave this shop a review. First and foremost, the flowers and the arrangement were beautiful. The owner of the shop definitely has a talent. Flowers were very fresh and arranged in a way that accentuates each flower. My wife loved her flowers. The owner of the store was really helpful and a delight to work with. She even texted me examples of what the arrangement might look like before I chose. Last but not least, the delivery was great. It was on time and the delivery person was polite. Will definitely come back in the future.

Flowers made my wedding GORGEOUS from beautiful. I didn't plan on hiring a florist but, at the end,…read moreI didn't have time to do DIY. I started looking for florist who saw my vision (foresty, mossy, nature theme) and who was more willing to work with my budget. I actually told Treshelle that I found a cheaper florist and turned her down... but when the florist gave me a picture of their arrangement (flowers just stuck in a vase) for my budget, I quickly called Treshelle back. She was totally understanding. Her philosophy is to build life long relationship with her customer. After working with her for my wedding, now I know how she attracts people. She is a listener. She listens to what you want. She is brilliant. So creative with using unexpected source to create a beautiful arrangement (I think I saw cabbage in one of her repertoire album). and She is personable. She told me she was praying that it won't rain for my wedding (it showered, but it was inside event). EVERYONE, literally EVERYONE, commented on the flowers. They said that my bouts and bouquets are the prettiest they have ever seen. Hearing that, I am just more thankful for her work. I know I will be calling her up again if I need any floral arrangement.

It wasn't something that could be found in any of her books, because we wanted a specific style, flowers and colors. Jenny took our ideas and exceeded our expectations. It was better than we could have imagined! The flowers were delivered at the time requested and she even sent us pictures via text to make sure we were happy with everything. We ordered a casket spray, vase arrangement for the entry table and boutonnieres for the pall bearers and the total cost was less than I anticipated. I hope I don't have a need for her services again anytime soon, but if and when I do, I will absolutely use her again!
