I spoke with Justin at Sunflower Florist while inquiring about wedding day floral arrangements. During our consultation call, Justin was very helpful and broke down the costs of each of the arrangements my fiancé and I wanted. I let him know our budget of $600 for flowers and over the phone he estimated that what we wanted would likely come out to just over 1,000 with Sunflower Florist. Sunflower Florist was the first floral shop I reached out to and when I told Justin this, and he sensed my sticker shock, he told me to take some time to think on it and to reach out to other florists in the area to price compare. I was surprised that he advised the latter but really respected and appreciated his suggestion. As I researched other florists and thought more about what we wanted, Justin continued to check-in and follow up to see if we were still interested in having the shop do our wedding flowers. While, we ultimately accepted a kind offer from a coworker to arrange our flowers, we really appreciated Justin's follow-up and customer service. read more

Great service beautiful flowers. Love this florist. They make ordering flowers easy. This is the only florist I use. Great value!!!

Great bouquet; arranged well and with the perfect color scheme. I asked for a small, hand-cut arrangement with dark pastels for an 8" vase and Jacob stuck the landing. She loved them. And he gave me good advise on how to maintain them to keep em around for as long as possible. Friendly customer service and attention to detail. Definitely coming back - support local, G. read more

This florist was used twice by my out of town relatives to send an sympathy arrangement, probably by Teleflora or 1-800-Flowers. Both arrangements were absolutely beautiful ! I. for one, have told many people to not send me flowers and I do not send flowers after numerous terrible bouquets and arrangement received and sent( pictures from the receiver who sent me pictures of what they received ) . This company has sent wonderful flowers so there is hope. I am a Norfolk resident so I will use them for local flower needs read more

I brought a picture of a floral arrangement into the store that I wanted for a funeral. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful! The sunflower florist made the arrangement more full and beautiful than the pic! I highly recommend them and I will definitely be back! Thanks, Rechelle Holmes read more

Terribly disappointed in this place. I placed an order online for flowers to be delivered to my wife before a specific time (with more than a day's notice which should be plenty of time), becsuse she would be out of her office for the next 2 days. When they weren't delivered on time, I called and canceled the order and asked to be refunded the amount of the purchase. I was assured on the phone that the order was canceled and my credit card would be refunded the full amount. A few hours later I got an email notification of the flowers being delivered. I found this confusing since I was told on the phone the order was canceled and I'd be refunded. I didn't pay much attention to it and figured I would watch my credit card account for the refund. Two days later my wife gets back to work to find the flowers HAD been delivered after the requested time and had been there for days without her knowing. Not to mention they were not recieved at the time of the occasion intended and the surprise not as good. Be wary of this place. They seem either unprofessional or disorganized....or both! read more

I've used this place 3 times now and have had a great experience each time. Their arrangements have always been beautiful and just as requested. Delivery is always prompt within the hours specified. You know what they say, fellas, "happy wife, happy life." That means I'm a regular now. read more

The Sunflower Florist - They looked better in person than they did online. The whole room smells great and we keep looking at them. - Florists Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

After the loss of someone much beloved to people who live in the Ghent community, we pooled together to buy flowers for his mother for Mother's Day. After specifying a standard arrangement, they charged for the deluxe arrangement (an almost 40 dollar difference) and then argued with the person who placed the order that they DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY ORDERED. If you've got money to spend on flowers, take it somewhere else unless you really want a chance to give a bad Yelp review and consider contacting the Better Business Bureau. This place is horrible, and they treat their customers like garbage instead of admitting that they made a mistake (or that they tried to overcharge and pull one over on the customer). . ** They did finally resolve the issue, but it took multiple people contacting them. (The final product is pretty, but should it have come down to sending in a negotiator to do the right thing.) read more

There are those days when you just want to get flowers for the person you care about...then realize you're living in Norfolk and you have never seen a florist shop here. Luckily (in my case) I took a chance and stepped into Sunflower Florist last last Valentine's day and anniversary and got exactly what I was looking for! What's even better was that I didn't pay my life-savings for a dozen roses! Even on Valentine's day, I paid around $10 for a dozen, long-stem roses and I couldn't have been happier! Of course, like any florist shop, they have packages with stuffed animals, balloons, vases, exotic flower, etc etc, that will cost you upwards of 70-80 bucks, but if you just want some basic stuff like me, then it's your place! When I've gone in, I need to knock and have them buzz me in which I thought was a little strange (but I guess flowers are a hot commodity?) and the shop was definitely small (which might be an understatement). Also, I did see some less-than-perfect flowers around which is always a little disconcerting. However, the people that helped me were so incredibly nice and friendly and assured me that they would pick out the best flowers for me and make it look great (which they did!). Overall, I would recommend this place if you need some flowers in the Ghent area. As with any flower shop, you probably want to go pick out the flowers yourself to make sure you know what you're paying for, but it was exactly what I was looking for and I plan to go back next February 14th! read more

My mother called in a last minute order and these guys delivered beautiful flowers to me within the hour. I give them 5 stars just because they had to deal with her. read more

I found them ,by accident,online. When I called,I spoke to the nicest man who understood,almost immediately,exactly what I wanted! Our Aunt and Uncle posted a picture of the delivered flowers and they were Perfect! It made their day and ours. Thank you! read more

My daughter ordered me flowers for my birthday. I got a call in the morning from them asking for directions to my work. Gave them. I get off work at 5:00pm. and no flowers. My daughter was so upset, she wanted my day to be special. Next day in my office were dead flowers on my desk. Our police opened up my office that evening for the delivery man. On my voicemail at 5:45 was the delivery man wanting to know directions. Daughter called and complained. They lied and said I left early. Would not send any more flowers or money back. Not only did they have bad customer service, but dead brown white roses. Happy Birthday to me.......BUYER BE AWARE! read more

Horrible customer service. My mother in law called to have flowers delivered to my wife. They were asked to call my cellphone if no one answered the door because I would be working in the garage and back yard. No one called at delivery so it was missed. I called to see what could be done and the woman on the phone was extremely rude and told me it was my fault I didn't hear the door. I will never do business with them again. read more

Awwww!! Should have checked here before ordering. Ordered online based on a photo found online and recipient received completely different arrangement. Florist did offer a replacement and then replaced it with the SAME THING! Florist then proceeded to call recipient and rudely lecture them about the mix up. This rude treatment of the RECIPIENT who had nothing to do with placing the order caused me to demand a full refund which was granted (only after the florist would be right out to pick up the arrangement-- so tacky). THEN the manager called the RECIPIENT to tell them that, oh, never mind, there will be no refund because the owner won't approve it. Stay away from these guys. As for me...I'm going to contact the Better Business Bureau... Places like this won't stay in business long... so sad that they had to add a major stress factor to what was supposed to be a beautiful gift read more

I wish my husband had checked Yelp before ordering from this shop. Add us to the list of people who are not impressed. My husband, who is on deployment overseas, wanted to send me flowers for our 15th wedding anniversary. It's a really big deal for him as he can't send a card or call or anything. It's a huge effort to just use the ship internet to try to place the order. Anyway, the flowers came today and were supposed to be reminiscent of an English garden with cream roses, lavender and ivy. The rose petals already had brown spots on them and were crunchy around the edges. They'll probably be dead in two days. There was no ivy as advertised. Instead, a bunch of ferns had been substituted. The arrangement had no shape to it at all; just thrown together haphazardly. I literally cried when I got them because it was obvious that there was no effort put into it. I emailed a picture to my husband, who felt so awful. He said it looked like something he'd put together if he was trying to duplicate the picture on the website and failed miserably at it. I decided to call the shop to tell them how disappointed we were. The lady I spoke to didn't sound overly concerned or apologetic, but did offer to send out a new arrangement. When the new one came, the rude deliveryman immediately said "I need the other one back." Why? Are they going to pick it apart and give dying flowers to someone else? The new arrangement does look better, but still not much like the one in the picture on the website. There was ivy this time, but still ferns and hardly any lavender waxflower. At least all the roses are in much better condition this time. It's super frustrating that they tried to pass off such a low-quality arrangement this first time when clearly they CAN put together a decent arrangement with quality flowers if they want to. I'm giving them 2 stars because they did try to resolve the problem, but we will steer clear of them in the future because of the quality of the first arrangement and the begrudging nature of the customer service. read more

I have used The Sunflower Florist on several occasions. On the last order, what was delivered didn't remotely resemble the photo on the website, except for the type of flower. The cost was almost $200 after the delivery fee and tax. I know that there was a disclaimer that substitutions may be made to the order. But, I was very disappointed. The only good thing about the last order was the recipient enjoyed the flowers. I won't be using this florist again. read more

Please read my review from last year! STAY AWAY from this horrible florist. They will ruin your special event. The owner is nasty, self-centered and incredibly rude. Read the other reviews as well. Nothing special about their flower arrangements - low creativity, withered flowers, and chintzy ugly ribbon used. I expected more for $120. read more

I wish I read these reviews prior to having my boyfriend order my Easter corsage. First of all we tried to confirm the order with an email but received no response. I had to work today so he arranged to pick it up himself. What he received only vaguely resembled the picture online. Google, "Call me darling corsage", that's what we were supposed to get, we we received had cheap ribbon instead of the pink roping...we were never asked if we wanted the substitution it was just done. One of the petals was torn, it looked like a mess. When he mentioned the difference she knocked off $5.00. All in all very dissatisfied, sloppy work with little if any care in my opinion. Would never order from there again! read more

Ordered flowers from Sunflower florist on July 10th, and I called them directly so there would be no confusion...I wanted the premium Garden Parade arrangement, but it wasn't any bigger than the standard. I also specifically said that I didn't want any carnations in the arrangement...I picked one that didn't have them list in the description...but the arrangement arrived with them in it. I called to discuss the discrepancies and got an answering service, I left a messages but as of today (7/26) I have not received a call. Will not use them again for any of my flower needs. read more

I live in DC and needed to send flowers to my Mother in Norfolk, so I asked for a recommendation and was told abt this florist. In the past when I've ordered long distance the experience has not been a good one. In this instance, I requested Stargazer Lilies and I ordered them on the same day they were delivered. Here it is NINE days later and these flowers are still gorgeous and my Mom is very happy. Kudos to this florist. I'll always use you from now on when I need to send flowers in this region. read more

I used this company twice. Hoping my first experience was just a bad day for them. Turns out they just have awful service. I ordered white daisies for an event with 300 plus people and received flowers that do not even resemble a daisy and they were green. I then used them for another large scale event the following year. This time when I called to verify the amount of roses I ordered and paid for were the correct amount for the ceremony, I was blatantly disrespected on the phone and was even hung up on. The older women I worked with both times was nothing but rude to me through my attempts to smile and be understanding. I will never use them again and recommend people expect to be treated poorly if they choose to go there. read more

I wasn't happy with the looks of a corsage that I ordered and the sales clerk was nice enough to remake it for me, stating enthusiastically, "I love making these." It doesn't get much better than that. read more
