With infinite florist options in LA, how do you know which one to choose?! It's simple: The Empty Vase! I ordered flowers for someone with exceptionally discerning taste--someone in LA's creative community who works with celebrities and brands--so the arrangement had to be super special. The Empty Vase exceeded my expectations! Their arrangements are fresh, artful, and beautiful. Honestly, their website doesn't do them any justice! What impressed me most was the level of service (I'd consider them the Nordstrom of all flower shops for sure!) After placing my order, their team contacted me shortly after to share photos of the greenery substitutions they needed to make and asked for my approval. I really love that level of care and attention to detail--it gave me confidence that the final arrangement would be exactly as shown, if not similar. I stopped by the shop myself to add a handwritten notecard before delivery. Every corner of their shop was STUNNING, and the level of creativity and quality was evident the moment I walked in. They're definitely worth every penny!!! I'm really shocked to see a 3.6-star rating on Yelp because, based on my experience today, The Empty Vase is a 5-star florist in every way! Beautiful flowers, exceptional customer service, and an elevated experience from start to finish. Thank you, Empty Vase!!! read more

A thank you note to Mike. My one year wedding anniversary is coming up and I reflected on what made our day so memorable and I'd have to say our flowers brought a tremendous amount of joy. Mike with Empty Vase was my direct contact throughout my planning. To give you a few notes. I planned our wedding in like 3 months and my budget for flowers was non existent. But let me tell you, no one at the wedding would have known that. I had the most beautiful flowers and the best experience thanks to Mike. Mike was genuinely kind, an absolute joy to converse with and collaborate with. I gave him my ideas and budget and he made it happen. He was so easy to communicate with, very on top of everything and never made me feel like I wasn't in the loop. I'm very responsive and really appreciate updates and he did exactly that. Thank You Mike for such a lovely experience and bringing my vision to life. The flowers were stunning and I love looking at photos to this day. Thank you for your kindness and patience with me! Forever an Empty Vase Fan read more

Charming flower spot in West Hollywood - pretty vast and beautiful selection to chose from. You are drawn into the store because of the beautiful flowers and plants seen from inside. Once inside you discover so much more candles, vases, inspirations books, decorations you name it - everything compliments the main attraction the beautiful flowers and greenery. The Saturday we were roaming around the place was filled with folks getting bouquets, placing orders for delivery and just browsing. The atmosphere among the fresh flowers and plants in calming and relaxing. Showing up to a friends house or to give to a loved one, you will not be disappointed. If i had space for a plant giraffe i would honestly have bought it on the spot, instead i walked out with a beautiful bouquet of flowers that are still making me smile today! read more

This is a wayyyyyy long overdue review on this iconic florist. I've been a client of Empty Vase for over a decade. Their arrangements are stunning! Customer service can be spotty, but the floral design, they have always used the freshest and highest quality of flowers possible. I've never had any issues with them. I've always been specific, and always dealt with open communication with them, and I've never been disappointed. In my experience, you can't go wrong with this amazing business. Are they pricey!?? HELL, YEAH!!! Will their designs knock your socks off??? Absolutely! You send something from Empty Vase to someone, you mean serious business! If you call in an order, sometimes there's a wait, but as long as you're specific with your budget, your colors, your theme, and other details, you will not be disappointed. Ordering online is a bit easier. And on big holidays like Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Christmas, order ahead. Great website, too! So, overall, they're worth every penny! When you send an Empty Vase floral arrangement, you won't be forgotten. Unbelievable selection, and incredible quality! 5 Stars!!! read more

10/10 highly recommend getting your bouquets from The Empty Vase! First of all the shop itself is so charming, and I am super grateful for Natalie who helped me assemble a custom bouquet within my budget for my friend's art show.

This is a great florist spot as you will see a wide range of flowers. The bouquets that you are able to put together for your home, a loved one or all the above can be accommodated by this place.

This review is long overdue. In December the night before my husband and I eloped, I arrived at the store about 15 minutes before closing. I wanted to make my own bouquet and the Trader Joe's flowers I had purchased before weren't cutting it. They had a beautiful selection of flowers sold by the stem. I picked out my favorites, and the owner helped wrapped them up. When he asked me what the occasion was, and I told him, he just gave me this knowing look and pushed the flowers toward me and told me it was on the house. The day of the wedding I couldn't stop gushing about how kind the owner was. Even now when I look at my flowers, this act of generosity sticks in my mind. My only regret is that I didn't keep the flowers exactly as he threw them together casually when he wrapped them up for me. Anyway, thank you so much for this wonderful memory. read more

We have used this service for more than 10 years. While the arrangements are very nice (and expensive), today I found out they will not do any delivery orders under $300. Given that, they are not entitled to further business. "Too Fancy To Fail" I guess. And after literally thousands spent with them. read more

Have been wanting to stop by The Empty Vase home store for a while now and finally I got a chance today. Absolutely beautiful. Everything they carry is gorgeous. From the unique vases to the most unique flowers. They also have a nice collection of floral books for sale. Got myself 2 nice ones. I love this store. It makes me happy. read more

I went to Empty Vase to have 5 centerpieces made and they did it the same day and they did a wonderful amazing job Job! The centerpieces were absolutely gorgeous and they delivered them to The hotel without any problems . I definitely recommend to use them for any events ! read more

I'm going to start this review with saying this is a very beautiful flower shop with many options but cost-effective ones are not that. I understand the value of Art and I have many pieces on my walls but the reality of paying so much for a bouquet just does not make sense. Ordering flowers used to be a pleasure but not anymore. The arrangements are subpar the flower quality has gone down tremendously where they last maybe two to three days. You were one of my favorite flower shops but after this delivery of flowers I'm no longer going to be spending any money as the service and quality do not meet my value Mark to spend this much money. If you are going to charge this much you need to bring your quality back to where it was 2 years ago where your Arrangements were beautiful and your flowers would last two to three weeks not 2 to 3 days. read more

THE. ABSOLUTE. WORST. (1 star is too many stars) Years ago, I received a stunning arrangement from this place, leading me to trust them for future deliveries. However, long story short, they consistently fail to deliver what I order and instead offer subpar substitutes. The quality is nowhere near the prices they charged. Fast forward a year and despite my reservations, I give them another chance today for a special birthday delivery, only to be let down AGAIN! Of course they didn't have the flowers that they use to lure you in online and they again promised a beautiful alternative. Thankfully, I asked for a photo before it went out for delivery, only to be presented with a laughable attempt at something comparable. I called and told them absolutely not, at this point it's later in the day and since it's being delivered to an office I needed it delivered asap. So they offer to send a bouquet already made, which I reluctantly agreed to based on a picture they sent me. In the end the birthday girl had to stay late at work on her birthday waiting for this delivery, she couldn't enjoy them throughout the day and literally was JUST told after she finally received them, they left the price tag on it!!! I'm done. It's my fault for giving them yet another chance. I will never support their business again, and if asked, I will actively discourage others from ordering from this overpriced, overhyped, and utterly disappointing place. read more

Disappointing experience with quality of product and service. I requested a custom plant effort. It was delivered promptly, but I felt overpaid for the plants. Within a week, the plants died. I was surprised because it was drastic decline of the plant. Upon removed the plants, I saw that the planter was lined with coarse plastic- appeared to be a questionable practice and would lead to immediate dehydration. I immediately contacted the store and was told that was standard practice and thetecwas nothing they were prepared to do. Teo days later, they called with a similar defensive response of their 48 hour policy. Both sales rePS Hailey and the other rep were both unpleasant to engage with- unclear on why they even bother responding. Unfortunate- West Hollywood prides itself on community and the store has a pleasant facade. But veneer and lack of quality was my experience. read more

The most beautiful arrangements. I've used them for years. I had a misunderstanding when placing my Thanksgiving centerpiece order this year and accidentally purchased a one sided arrangement rather than one that had flowers all the way around. This morning, Empty Vase picked them up and re-arranged the florals for me. My centerpieces are beyond stunning. read more

I used to use this florist for years and was very happy. No longer the case. I called to send an arrangement for a death of a friend and the gal couldn't care less. Plus, their minimum to order is $200 which gets you a $40 arrangement filled with filler. VERY DISAPPOINTED and nothing like I ordered. No longer luxury, no longer great customer service. I will never use this florist again! This arrangement cost me $200 plus $50 delivery to go up the street. I asked for white roses, thin grass or horse tail. I did not want green filler like this. Looks like mostly filler flowers. SUB PAR for a $200 arrangement that looks like it came from Pavilions. read more

Apparently my business is not respected or wanted here! Good to know ! Never again - I thought I had everything set up and triple checked called first thing in the am and called when on my way in to pay. To my dismay nothing was started and I was told they can help me but not until I pay - hence the florist wouldn't be done with my order until 4:30pm, that's fine if it was for me but this is for an artist and the time of completion needed to be at 2:30pm which again was all set up and pre ordered (so I thought) no delivery offer or any offer to rectify things! You guys are money hungry and can careless about Your paying client After spending twenty minutes on the phone and pre ordering a bouquet specifically for an artist yesterday , they decided to not start the order due to no pre payment - I was stuck at the venue and the person with the credit card was on a flight - I told them I had $500 however that didn't matter. I offered to bring cash and rushed there from downtown la to pre pay it to only be offered a half wilted depressing bouquet which was not the style or look we discussed when ordering the day prior ! What happened to my order and the person who said they understood the vision we had? It's like they were doing me a favor to take $300 from me for a tiny half wilted bouquet that was for another client . They acted too cool for school and didn't need my business- then don't waste my time from the inception You guys have no customer service skills and I will gladly take my business elsewhere !! Sadly my dad wasted so much money here years back since the early 90s, he actually had a rapport and relationship with the owners- of course decades later this is something else! A very disappointing and frustrating experience My Job can only pay cash and that's why I was unable to pre pay with a personal credit card! Good to know Blessing in disguise - I wouldn't take the time and effort to order flowers 24 hours prior if I wasn't planning on paying for them. read more

Extremely disappointed with The Empty Vase. I got early Valentine's Day delivery from hubby (he knows I love the Empty Vase) but I was shocked to receive such a horrible flower arrangement. I had to call hubby to ask if he chose this color. Apparently someone called the day of the delivery to inform him that the color that he has chosen was not available. They offered him purple tulips. Well, as you can see in the picture, they are not purple and they are not Valentine's Day color. Called the store and Samora told me to email admin@emptyvase.com but no response. Usually I get complements for my beautiful flower arrangement from hubby but this arrangement... everyone said... "interesting choice of flower..." what was the florist thinking to send out such a ugly flower? read more

I have used this florist multiple times over the last 19 years, and could not have been more pleased. I was fortunate enough to have someone send me flowers from them last week. The flowers arrived on Saturday and by Tuesday morning they were wilted and brown. I called to complain and was told in no uncertain terms that they only guaranteed "freshness" for 48 hours. If I wanted I could send photos, but basically there was nothing they could or were willing to do. I was so disappointed. The arrangement I received retailed for $250.00, the least they could have done was offer me an apology. I am on the hunt for a new florist on the Westside of Los Angeles...suggestions welcome! read more

From the perspective of a recipient, I am elated with the floral arrangement from Empty Vase. This picture was taken 3 days after the flowers arrived and still going strong. Thank you! read more

The Empty Vase Florist - Birthday delivery from Empty Vase - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I'm giving 3 stars b/c the experience was mostly frustrating, but in the end, Empty Vase offered a remedy that was acceptable which lifted it from one to three stars. I never found the staff to be condescending or rude, on the contrary, they mostly tried to ameliorate the situation. Like many, I didn't get the specific flowers in the arrangement I ordered, which is a bit frustrating, since I had a look I wanted for the table, but the overall arrangement is lovely, and all the guests positively commented on it. I have two more dinner parties in the next couple days, hoping the arrangement lasts for them. It's frustrating that there is nowhere in Empty Vase's system to notify the customer of the time when the arrangement will be ready for pick up or delivered. Empty Vase assigned a random time based on their convenience, not my schedule. It really should be the other way round. In future, I will be sure to put a time in the notes section, and hopefully they'll oblige or follow-up with an update. Empty Vase's prices can seem steep, but I'm not unwilling to pay for the artistry that goes into the arrangements created by its florists. These artists created an arrangement with over 40 stems plus lining the vase with greenery in a beautiful piece of flora art. It's a lot of flowers, and a lot of creative work and the price reflects this. If I go to other florists' sites and compare similar complex arrangements, the pricing is not very different. Because Sarah so artfully managed this situation, I'll be back to give Empty Vase another try. I'll update this review then, but for this go round, I'm not in agreement with some other reviews that claim Empty Vase is "the worst" or "vile" or "obnoxious", I just found the experience to be a bit frustrating overall, but with a nice, but not as pictured or ordered, arrangement (which happens at any florist, since the pictured arrangement is a moment in time with that day's inventory). I understand it's floral art, not a floral factory. I'll just be sure to call and see what their inventory is before I order the next arrangement, and then, I will hold them to creating the arrangement as ordered. read more

Expensive, sure. It's Beverly Hills. But you get what you pay for. This Friday I purchased over a thousand dollars of merchandise from their sunset location. Amongst this merchandise were two olive trees which were planted by their workers in terra cotta containers for outside display. I presumed they were expertly planted considering the planting fee associated with the purchase, but yesterday both pots blew over in the wind on their second day outside and shattered beyond repair. I attached the two tragic pictures and sent to their customer service department. I didn't expect much. BUT within two days, I'd been contacted and Natalie, one of their sales associates, sent an employee over to replace the pots and plant them properly. Simply some of the best customer service I've ever received. Will 100% return here. read more

Beautiful selection! And very helpful and responsive staff. I was a little confused as to where the parking was. But once I got there, I had a wonderful experience! The bouquet I purchased was around $70 dollars. So not the cheapest, but definitely makes an impression!!! Would definitely go back for all of my important bouquets. read more

I really wanted to leave a 5 star review. The customer service was helpful but the product was an embarrassment. The arrangement that was delivered looked like something my 4 year old put together. I requested substitutions and they didn't have some of the flowers from what was listed for the arrangement but the florist did a subpar job. After spending so much on this floral arrangement, I was highly disappointed. They did not try to replace the arrangement but was willing to issue a $50 credit... if I'm not happy with the arrangement, why would I order another ... read more

To say that you cannot go wrong with the Empty Vase is an understatement. I needed a super wow arrangement for a friend who just went through brain surgery and you guys outdid yourselves. Your website does not disappoint and the arrangements shown on the site are no exaggeration. My order looked as beautiful if not more than the one I chose online. I know that this is more unusual and most florists will say that they didn't have the flowers on that particular day or that they are not in season and since most people never see the arrangements they send, you are operating on blind faith. Well, Freddy, the head designer at EV, was so kind and sent me photos of the finished product and it took my breath away. Well worth the price and a real show stopper. Thank you EV for making my friend so happy with this most amazing arrangement. I now understand why I keep coming back to you guys for all of my flower needs. You guys are simply the best! read more

Terrible quality, please don't order anything from this company. We got a bouquet in a different color, half a day later than was arranged and the flowers were dying already. Needles to say, just on the next day I had to throw them away. And it was hella expensive. One of the worst purchases in my life. read more

We ordered flowers from this company for my sons birthday. Paying a high price I expected a high quality of service and flowers but I've got quite the opposite. First of all, on the day of delivery we got notified that the color will be different. It was supposed to be dark blue (male style), and they say it will be white (not so male).... Of course we agreed - like we had a choice. It was already noon. And we asked it to be delivered early in the morning. They stopped by after 4 pm. But what's worse, the flowers were already dry and old when we got them! My son asked me right away if that was for him, because it looked like it was someone else's bouquet, not fresh. He throwed them away the next day. Of course I was not happy. I called the company and asked for a refund or a credit - and the owner started screaming and harassing me. That's the first time in my life I got such a ridiculous and heartbreaking response! And I was a customer for 5 years already. That is hurting my feelings and of course I'm not going to return to them. There are many new florists that offer much better prices, variety and, most important, customer service. Shame on you guys for turning my son's celebration to such a negative experience for me. read more

Popped into the Empty Vase yesterday to pick up some flowers for an event and was delighted to see they have a check-in offer for 10% off for bouquets! They were more than happy to honor it and helped me put together a gorgeous, modern and elegant bouquet. They wrapped it in butcher paper filled with rose petals. It was beautiful! They have such a great selection of gifts. From Diptyque candles to chocolates, books, and soaps, this is a great place to come if you are looking for a hostess gift. Plus love that they have their own easy parking! read more

This place is incredible. Their flowers come from Holland and they have the brightest orchids I've seen so far in LA. My boyfriend and I were buying one $25 pot and they offered to paint two other pots for us so that we would have matching ones. The people who work here are extremely knowledgeable about the products they are selling and they are just very nice people too - it makes you want to give them your business. read more

Poor customer service, the gal who answered the phone after a 10min wait was short and rude, no apology was given. I had ordered a beautiful arrangement ($500) to be delivered on Valentines Day. I've never had issues with deliveries on VD, most will deliver by 2pm. It was 4pm and still no delivery, I called and was told that the florist just started my arrangement and it would be delivered by 9pm. It defeats the purpose for this special day to take delivery so late in the day. This florist just ruined my experience and the occasion for my wife. I was really looking forward for her to receive this beautiful piece. read more

Empty Vase is probably my favorite florist in the city... and I used to own a flower shop! We recently received a beautiful bubble bowl arrangement from them full of orchids, hydrangea and lisianthus, packed into a pave, all white, with curly willow lining the bowl. It's the kind of work I do myself: only fine flowers with no filler or fern. It felt like a luxurious gift. If I ever get married, they get the gig! Definitely one of the top florists in the United States. read more
