Wildflower asked about the color palette and provided photos of what the bouquets, boutonnieres and center pieces would look like. Clearly superior. Followed up with clarifying questions and delivered on time on a holiday. The flowers were marginally more expensive and worth every penny. Our guests commented on the arrangements' beauty and asked where we purchased them. Highly recommended.

I decided to try the Jordan Creek Hy-Vee floral. I live in Austin and wanted to send my daughter a…read morespecial arrangement for her promotion at her new location. Florist Paul was great and helped me on the phone and knew exactly what I wanted from my description. He assured me they would be special and delivered on time even though there was a blizzard coming their way. I didn't hear from my daughter on the delivery day and I called the floral dept. the next day to find out what happened. The security guard at her work sent them back to the other location where she use to work. Hy-Vee went out of their way to correct the issue even though they were not responsible. I spoke with florist Amy several times and she was so nice and very helpful. The beautiful arrangement was delivered within hours to my daughter. The service is above 5 stars and the arrangement was very nice. I'll definitely use them again.

A floral arrangement that costs $50 should last longer than 2-3 days!. The store gave me a $20 credit stating that roses only live 2-3 days. In my experience that has not been the case. This is twice now we have had bad luck with Hy-Vee floral. We thought maybe trying a different location would help. It did not. No more Hy-Vee floral for us. Very disappointed.

In a charming neighborhood, you will find Cottage by the Creek, in Des Moines, Iowa…read more It is a quaint cottage surrounded by a flower-filled yard and trees. When you open the door, you meet a perfectly delightful and friendly shop owner. There is a wonderful variety of merchandise that would please a diverse array of shoppers....jewelry, clothing, kitchen items, large assortment of beautiful French tablecloths, home decor and much more. I bought two great necklaces made from Tagua seeds from Ecuador. I just love them and have received many compliments when I wear them. They are so attractive and unique. I also purchased a gorgeous rectangular French tablecloth in blues and yellows and some cute kitchen towels. In my shopping I also acquired a stylish top with a lacy edge and a fishnet type top to go with it. The shopkeeper also has many artistic wind chimes for your patio. Mine has a metallic dragonfly and colorful beads. If you can't make it to her shop, she also has a stall at the awesome Des Moines Farmers Market every Saturday for 6 months of the year. That's another thing that you should definitely experience! What a great little shop, full of such interesting things! Wish it was in my city!

Even when you receive an order that is nothing like what you asked for!!! When I asked if I could get it fixed, as it was for a big event, all I got was back talk, belittling, and a deal with it attitude. They don't want happy customers. STAY AWAY! Unless you want to waste your money, get a lot of frustration and headache. HORRIBLE BUSINESS! I am from Des Moines and I placed an order in September 2020, received October 16th.

The communication was impeccable - very available and helpful by phone and text. Kelly discussed her different products with me to help me pick the best bouquet for my mom. She had the product delivered right on time and sent a photo to confirm as promised. As asked, she included chocolates -- and even remembered to include only dark chocolate since I mentioned my mom did not like milk chocolate. At first, I was hesitant based on some other reviews, but I am SO glad I gave The Wild Orchid a try. It was top notch service and a beautiful, colorful, fresh bouquet of unique tropical flowers. Highly recommend! See for yourself (photos of flowers & chocolates)!
