MAKE THE NEW LEAF YOUR "FIRST CHOICE" FOR FLOWERS!!! ... is what's requested in "About Our Company" -- and I must emphatically agree! They DO, as also stated, "go the extra mile to make your floral gift perfect." Shopping online from Maine, theirs was the 5th or 6th on-the-ground real, in-town (vs. online) floral shop I researched, following discovering them here, thanks to Yelp. Nobody offered what was shown on the typical FTD or Teleflora, it seemed. Only, I needed something special for my friend, who'd suddenly lost her husband. Arrangements offered by others weren't right for my artistic friend's elegantly designed and furnished home and tastes, nor the expression I'd hoped to achieve. THE NEW LEAF's, however, were phenomenal. I was blown away! Never had I seen such beautifully designed arrangements -- indeed, "beautiful floral designs" -- which is why I chose them. I selected "Soft Serenity" for the balanced trio of greens, lilac and whites, and balanced artful composition, too -- only to be sad seeing what'd arrived had substituted some yellow and other flowers. Uh-oh... Calling Dina with my disappointment, however, I was kindly offered either a refund or to send again. We worked closely to ensure that softly serene design I sought for comfort was replicated as closely as one can... I'm so glad I did! My friend was just over the moon with superlatives! While the first was nice, the second was absolutely Wonderful, she'd said. And just now on the phone she shared how the arrangement was simply Magnificent. "Wonderful" and "Magnificent" are pretty exceptional descriptors of their designs... All-in-all, a terrific value and experience. I've saved Dina's number for the next time I need something special for my friend in Virginia Beach. read more

The New Leaf - Soft Serenity - Florists Near Me

Fabulous local florist that knows the industry and understands customers' needs; they went above and beyond on a recent order for a friend that lost a loved one. At first visit, Sara and James were friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. My vague wishes: "she likes low maintenance, maybe an orchid or an arrangement in the $75 range." She offered to create a fresh and unique arrangement in summer colors AND have an orchid dressed so I could choose; she even ok'd pickup outside of their normal hours. Turns out, I ended up needing it a day sooner...and they came through, calling to update me when needed. At pick-up, James said "I saw this peach double orchid and knew it was for your friend." That's personalized service at its finest! read more

The New Leaf - Dual peach colored orchid - Florists Near Me

What a charming floral shoppe in the West Ghent area of Norfolk. It was my 2nd visit here in about 4 months as I was in town for a not so celebratory occasion, yet needed florals. I had a connection to this shoppe the 1st time, so it was a no brainer to visit them again. Small in size but this place has large character. Modern style mixed with luxurious flowers and design. Yes, the floral designers/creators can make the tradition flowers of yester years but what made me stop in was their creative composition of creating contemporary florals that encompassed textures and elements that made them more unique than some of their contemporaries. Even more impressive with me was the interpersonal skills and customer service of Sarah & Laurel. Personable and engaging with an eye for detail to create your vision when giving them a modest description of what I wanted. And it's always a plus when a business owner remembers you from a previous sell, especially when you are not a resident of the area. My request was for 6 corsages with white flowers with a royal blue ribbon and each had to be unequalled expressing their own character. They nailed it on the head. I had requested to pick them up the next day at a later time but was in the area in the late morning and called to see if they could accommodate an early pick up. They were able to meet my request and I was more than pleased with their work. Sarah and Laurel, you have a great business and your personalities add to the charm. You will definitely be my floral shoppe of choice when in the area and in need of something beautiful and special in floral design. read more

I'm new to the area and the person that took my call was friendly and knowledgeable. She said she would be making the arrangement herself. She called to let me know that Dustin, the driver, was leaving it in a secure, shady location. I appreciated this so much!!! The recipient sent me a picture and it was stunning! The most unusual arrangement I've ever ordered. New Leaf, I'll be back! read more

The staff was kind, helpful and friendly when placing the order. When I picked up the three corsages and boutonniere they where wilted, brown around the edges and looked old. I was very disappointed read more

This is a florist that I recommend to everyone. They have been in business for over 25 years! They truly are a gem to Norfolk and offer a superior product to what other florist in the area are serving up. They do it all at The New Leaf! Anything from Weddings to anniversaries, to big events and even those "just because" moments. They have a wide variety of high end flowers and they are truly able to to create what ever your heart desires. The customer service is out of this world. When you call, they pay attention to every little detail, from making sure to get your card message just right, to adding that special touch for the recipient.

Unfortunately due to the pandemic I was unable to visit Virginia and wanted to send a special arrangement to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday. I found this company on Yelp, and submitted a request. Almost immediately I received a response and called to speak with the owner. Since I don't know a lot about flowers, I left it up to her to come up with something using her creativity. The arrangement was amazing! My family was so impressed, and my mom extremely happy! I feel lucky to have found this florist and will use them for all of floral needs. Highly recommended! Thanks! read more

The New Leaf - Valentines Day flowers for Mom... - Florists Near Me

My sister and her husband moved to Virginia Beach in September to live with their son. In a few short weeks, she moved, lost her husband, developed pneumonia and became homebound. Her 75th birthday was 11/30 and I wanted something special to send to her to know we were thinking of her since she didn't want visitors. I found New Leaf online and called them directly (why was I charged a wire fee)and ordered flowers. After completing a form online that included my sister's name, phone number, address and reason for the flowers the night before, I was called at 9:15 the following morning by Tara. I wanted reassurance my sister would have them to enjoy most of the day and I was assured. First of all, Tara wrote down the wrong address for the driver who delivered them to the neighbor of the wrong address since that person was not at home. Then adding insult to injury the driver did not call my sister who would have given him the correct address but left a message for me in Florida who didn't pick up the message until 5:20 after the store closed. Thank God for the kind neighbor who called me to ask where my sister lived so she could deliver them. This was at 6:30. I had a call from the owner this morning who got my message from last night and contradicted what I told her regarding the neighbor and the time of delivery. Whenever I could get a word in, I told her the 'neighbor' lived two streets over from my sister and because the woman worked, my sister did not get her flowers until 6:30. Happy birthday indeed! She asked what she could do to make it up to me and I told her nothing as I will never use her again. I suppose she has never heard of 'the customer comes first' read more

We tried to order flowers for a funeral. I continued to leave messages which were never answered. We finally made a donation to a designated charity. I understand they are in business but I have no idea how to get in touch with them or if you did what their work would look like, or if it would arrive! read more

I called The New Leaf from out of state after getting off the phone with a loved one in VB who was having a bad day. They let me know that their delivery driver was already on his way back for the day, but put me on hold while they called to see if he'd be able to make an additional stop. They stock their van with a few extra arrangements everyday, just for situations like mine. My sister texted me 15 minutes later to let me know she received her beautiful arrangement. Thank you for your great service! read more

Called in the morning to order an arrangement for my wife's birthday. I told them that I wanted it to be unique and original. We went through some different flower types and I told them to do what they wish and use their own artistic interpretation of what I envisioned. I asked if it could be done in a few hours and they were absolutely okay with it. I must say, it came out incredible! My wife is going to be so excited when I surprise her! Thank you so much! You guys are amazing! read more

I recently found myself needing to buy flowers for my sister-in-law one day before her birthday. I called that Friday morning and they had an arrangement ready by noon. I knew from their website that their work was not the run of the mill carnations in a coffee cup. My only input in the order was that the arrangement be colorful and within my budget. The result was a stunning, unique arrangement. My sister-in-law loved them. The only problem was that I had no answer when she asked me what the different flowers were. I just knew they weren't carnations. From the order to the pickup the staff was patient, friendly and proud of their work. They made it crystal clear that they valued my business. Their prices are reasonable and I strongly recommend them. read more

My daughter forgot to order a boutineer for her date before prom. I frantically called several local florists who were either rude or told me they didn't even make boutineers. I felt it was hopeless until I called the sweet people at New Leaf who had a gorgeous boitineer for me. They were so kind, professional, and accommodating. I asked if they happened to have any corsages for my other daughter who was going with friends and of course they had a beutiful modern orchid wrist corsage! I will call NL first next time! read more

I cannot say enough about the customer service from The New Leaf. In a bind, with late notice of a funeral service, I called at nearly 3pm to request a sympathy arrangement for a 7pm viewing. At least 10 other florists in the area (several that were in closer proximity to the funeral home) could not accommodate the request. The New Leaf stepped up and graciously took my order, walked me through a concept for the arrangement; they worked their magic and delivered a beautiful arrangement of lilies and roses by 4pm. I am incredibly thankful for their compassion and willingness to go above and beyond. Friendly, professional, and accommodating! read more

I called New Leaf today, based on other good reviews, to have them deliver flowers to my mother for Mother's Day. The people on the phone were so pleasant and nice. My mother called later to say she had just been delivered a GORGEOUS/ARTFUL arrangement by the NICEST man. The delivery person was very kind and solicitous toward my 94-year-old mother, and that part of the experience was so meaningful to her as well. So I thank all of the good people at New Leaf. They will be the first place I go if I ever need flowers in Norfolk again. read more

My aunt was a floral designer from the time she was 18; I worked at her florist in Virginia Beach for many years (as did my Mom, trained by my Aunt). I know the difference between something that's been thrown together and something that's done with talent and care. The designers are New Leaf are wonderful - they know what they are doing, they add special touches, their own creativity, and they really listen to the customer's wishes. In the past two years, I have ordered numerous floral arrangements and gift baskets from New Leaf- every time, I've received rave reviews from the recipient. The designs are modern and unique, yet comforting and beautiful. Exactly the right balance. Finally, the owners have taken very special care with my orders (several were for remembrance/sympathy) in a way that you just don't get at other places. I'm grateful to have found this florist (now that my Aunt is retired), allowing me to send a beautiful and loving message to those I care about back home. read more
