I am so happy that I made it before their season ended! What an absolutely stunning selection and…read morethe prices were great! I happened spin the Dahlia Shed because a friend who was supposed to get married next year had to have her wedding ASAP due to a family illness. Her florist was unavailable, so I jumped at the opportunity to give back to a family that has given so much to others. Her favorite flower is the dahlia and I am just so thankful that we have a local spot to get the freshest and most gorgeous dahlias around! I'm sure it's not easy work cultivating and bringing these beauties to the public, so thank you to the farmers for all that you do!

Paul, the owner of Broadway Florist had been featured in quite a few Newport Wedding magazines so I thought I was really hitting the jackpot with this one. Total, we spent about $1300 and received only half of what we paid. To start, my initial meeting with him was alright, but he made me feel like I knew nothing about flowers (which I do not, but I had a vision of what I wanted) and I ended up changing my mind about what I had always dreamed about for my wedding to fit his vision. On the wedding day, my flower girls had no petals to throw, my bouquet was all wrong and smaller than I had been told it would be, the centerpieces were small and the arch was almost bare. I ended up having to take roses out of my own bouquet and other bouquets to put in my flower girls baskets. When I emailed Paul to let him know I was unsatisfied, all he replied back was, 'What do you want me to do about it?" Horrible. Stay away. Not worth the hassle.

For an avid gardner this place has been on my stop list since I moved to Aquidneck Island. I was…read moreblown away and disappointed at the same time. The place looks like the most magical garden ever. Little nooks filled with succulent in pretty pots, green houses filled with every color of begonias imaginable, fig trees in pots ready for the taking ( a bit pricy at 75 dollars but undertandable). We wondered in and out of greenhouses and through paths of flowers and greens without bumping into a single person for a good 15 minutes. Finally a tall teenager that i assumed worked there bumped into us, but being a teenager didn't even make eye contact. Finally a lovely woman said hello and asked if we needed help, i say thank you and we were just brownsing and complemented the fig plants and said i was thinking about buying one. She said let me know if i can help and walked towards the front of the gardens. We saw countless signs, signs telling us where to go, what type of flowers there were in the greenhouses and directions to the store and what type of payment they accepted. What i never, ever, ever saw was a sign saying "no photos please". As I crossed over a small lake i saw these beautiful hanging planters from the trees, they were magical and i pulled my photo to snap a foto to show my husband this amazing place i was in, when a woman comes running up the drive way yealling no photos, no photos, dont take photos. At first i didnt' undersdand what she was saying since i have never been asked to not take a photo at a plant nursery. i apologized and she repeated herself in a not so friendly way no photos. After being yelled at i felt so unconfortable that i quikly left. I was whilling to spend my money there, it was such a magical beautiful place that i felt it should be shared, yet the staff is incredibly unfriendly. If you didnt' want us to take pictures of the amazing job you have done perhaps post signs everywhere. Also just a heads up, the internet exhists, we can all google the type of arrangement we see there and create it ourselfs, with or without pictures. So my adivece is: work on your custumer service skills, you are sitting in a land mine of cash yet not taking advantage of it by being awful to people admiring your hard work.

Very pleased with the outcome of my visit at Waters Edge! They were very welcoming and helpful with my lack of flower knowledge. I was helped by April, I didn't know what I was looking for and she gave me some great recommendations. They had no problem delivering it same day even though it was last minute! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for flowers in Newport! read more

I've used waters edge over the years for all my special occasions, sadly, lots of funerals. Their arrangements are always something you can be proud of when you get to the wake or service. On a happier note, I also stop in and get bouquets for myself and they always have such fresh stock. And they can special order anything you like, such as gardenias. read more
