I needed to place an order for a funeral and they made it amazingly easy. Providing suggestions and creating beautiful arrangements exactly as I had envisioned. They even delivered the flowers to the funeral home so early so that everything was set up when we got there. Thank you for taking care of a detail for us so we did not have to worry about it. I highly recommend this florist for their care and professionalism. read more

This florist really came through at a time when its professionalism and thoughtfulness truly mattered. Add to that, the arrangement was even more lovely than the photo on the site, and it's an easy all-star review for me. I called in the morning to see if they could make a delivery that afternoon of a somewhat elaborate funeral arrangement. (I should note that it was the week before Christmas, when I know florists are exceptionally busy.) Not only that, we requested a dropoff at a friend's home because the funeral was at a community hall the next morning that did not accept flower deliveries and we'd be arriving too late the evening before to make a pickup. Not only did the floral designer jump on the phone -- unprompted! -- to discuss details of the arrangement, but the driver later called to confirm address info before dropping off. This is really above-and-beyond customer service in my experience of making many such floral orders. (Too many funerals recently but also some happier occasions.) I come from a family of florists, which I did not disclose on the phone, and know that it's rare to get such good help and such a beautiful arrangement. I wish I'd taken a better photo of it to post here. The family of three stoic men took it home after the memorial, the only flowers they made an effort to keep. Thank you for giving them that solace on a very rough day. read more

My partner ordered flowers from here for Valentine's Day. They were so kind and accommodating after a delivery mix up (we weren't home to receive them!), and we were able to pick them up at the end of the day. The bouquet was gorgeous and lasted a long time. Thank you! read more

Wow what an amazing arrangement. We couldn't be happier. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job. Your fast delivery was appreciated.

Spent $71 on a call in over the phone valentines flower order. When arrived the bouquet had 1 Lilly, 1 Carnation and fillers. The next day the flowers were dead. When i called in to see what was up, I was told they couldn't help me and hung up on me. Was worth a shot I guess. read more

We were in Ellsworth for a family reunion and needed some flowers for the Big Meal's tables. By good luck, we found The Bud Connection, where they completely heard what we needed and turned the order around in 24 hours - providing a set of simple and charming arrangements filled with cheerful colors and surprising shapes. Lovely. On top of that, they also have homemade candy called Needhams, a traditional Maine candy, for sale. I tried one and the next day bought out everything on the counter to bring home as gifts. (When I expressed my concern that all her product was gone because of me, she kindly assured me that she was about to go home and make more anyway. I'll bet she was just being nice, but I believed her at the time.) For fresh flowers, kind and thoughtful service, charming gift items and a heavenly chocolatey coconutty sweet, stop into the Bud Connection on Main Street. At the very least I expect that you'll enjoy the visit to the store. read more

The best florist around. The florists are super friendly and accommodating. The arrangements are breathtaking! The prices are unmatched! Katie did my bridesmaids bouquets and boutenniers, and also gave me a great deal on baby's breath and cedar, so that I could make my own bouquet. People still compliment the arrangements from my wedding, a year and a half later. It's hard to resist the chocolates, too. read more

Was buying flowers for my wife, who worked in Ellsworth. Stopped in Marie's Flowers in Brewer and he recommended The Bud Connection. I ordered by phone and my wife loved the flowers. Thanks to both places. read more

Stopped in for a wildflower bouquet for my wife. The bouquet was sloppily put together and very expensive for the small amount of flowers included. read more
