They arrived on time, which is good, but kind of expected considering I ordered two weeks in advance. I ordered a "deluxe" bouquet with a balloon, not cheap when combined with shipping and tip. What arrived was a very underwhelming bouquet stuffed with filler leaves and flowers barely in bloom. The balloon which I ordered also failed to arrive. It's funny because for another set of flowers I got for my mom, I went with literally 1 800 Flowers, and paid the same amount (within a $5 difference). That bouquet was significantly more impressive than this local business I tried to support. Oh well. I recommend going elsewhere for your floral needs, since you'll get better bang for your buck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

William Paul Floral Design - Sweet Surprises Deluxe bouquet. Pretty underwhelming for $80 - Florists Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

I have no words for this. The picture can speak for itself. I ordered the premium bouquet and this was what was delivered. I was mortified. I do not usually leave negative reviews without first trying to contact the company, but since they are non responsive I just want to warn others. I have tried to contact them multiple times with absolutely no reply. I have ordered before and had a wonderful experience so this was surprising and so disappointing. Based on all the other similar recent reviews I would recommend steering clear. read more

William Paul Floral Design - Left was the website photo, right was what my mom received. I have no words! The fraudulent nature of this is crazy. - Florists Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

Extremely disappointed in the overall business. I went in 10 days prior to order altar flowers for my mother in laws funeral. I had picked a design from their catalog and asked for some of the white flowers to be replaced with purple flowers. I also asked for a Purple Ribbon. The woman who helped me was nice and said they could take care of all it for me. We scheduled a 9:30 drop off before her 10:30 service. Fast forward to the funeral day... I called the shop 5 minutes before the start of the funeral asking where they were. Was placed on hold while they figured out where my flowers were and was told they would be there in the next 10 minutes. They did arrive within that 10 minute time, but looked nothing like what I ordered, however they did put in a few sprigs of purple and added a white ribbon instead of the requested purple. I was offered a refund and was told someone would be reaching out to me, but have yet to hear back from them. I will not be using their services in the future and you can see for yourself what was received vs what was ordered. I request you use caution moving forward with them. read more

Nothing but praise and compliments. Hidden under the name of William Paul Floral Design is the flower shoppe staple of the days gone by. I can't compliment the level of personal service (Debra) is willing to offer. I ordered what I thought would be great for my 94 year old grandmother. She called and had reservations about the weight of what I had ordered. She offered two separate arrangements that would be easier to carry in from the porch if delivered while grandma was home. This was thoughtfull. I agreed and she went to work. She sent me pictures of her designs and sent them on their way. Done like the old days. Who does this anymore? Thank you, Debra. read more

I generally don't like giving negative reviews. That said, I've had a horrible experience with Spencer and Crystal at William Paul Floral. My daughter's wedding was back in October of 2022. (The woman that helped us before the wedding was great but is no longer there.) It has now been almost 2 1/2 months with no reply back but I keep on calling. The pictures below show what I got from them the day of the wedding and then the other one is what I showed them I wanted. The candles are all mine. It was $65.00 per table and there were 22 tables. There are half the flowers than I thought would be in the cheap plastic bowl that is shown below. You shouldn't have even seen the bowl - it was tacky looking. My stomach sunk when I walked into the reception room and saw them. I spoke with Crystal and she agreed and said, yes, they do look bad and that I would be getting half my money back but that she would have to speak with the owner. After that conversation, I heard nothing. So I called four more times and spoke with Spencer each time, who never told me, by the way, that he was the owner. When I did find out he was the owner and I called, he said, "It's up to Crystal to pay you." I said on my last call, "You are the owner. Don't you make those decisions?" He told me no, email Crystal and that it was up to her. But, of course, I haven't heard back from either one after emailing and leaving a voicemail and text message, nor have they EVER called me back when I've called inquiring, which has been since last November. Spencer has been totally unprofessional as the company owner for not taking responsibility for their mistake. read more

I ordered the arrangement listed on their website as Cinderella, deluxe. This is their description "This arrangement features luxe blooms in shades of pink, white and red. This design is styled in a galvanized tin vase. Ranunculus, Roses, Succulents and more steal the show in this custom bouquet." What they delivered was orange roses, with a few pink tulips in a wooden box. The flowers were wrong, the container was wrong. the colors were wrong, where are the advertised succulents? The arrangement looked like it was done by a child. I've seen much prettier arrangements at the super market that did not cost anything close to the $127.00 I paid. I was so embarrassed that the recipient thought that I would send such a cheap looking arrangement. This is totally bate and switch, I'm planning on taking them to small claims court so that they get their act together and this does not happen to anyone else. I find it hard to believe they have been able to stay in business. read more

Is this a fake company? Absolutely unacceptable customer service. They failed to deliver our Mother's Day gift arrangement. We paid a premium to get this gift sent out on time and they did not have the courtesy to call any of the 5 messages we left back. Sent an email to address on their website and it was returned, see image. Fake email? They operate very scammy. The answering service acts clueless and can only take a message. No one at the florist actually answers the phone. Is the address even legit? Rude customer service representatives. You get someone quick on the phone to take orders but no one and long wait times if you have an issue or existing order. Be careful dealing with this company. read more

My boyfriend ordered a dozen red and pink roses for me for Valentine's Day before he left for Thailand. I received a small arrangement of yellow and orange carnations and daisies. Conveniently closed today, I'm now discovering this is a trend. Why ? Because they know the recipient isn't going to complain or tell the person that sent them or even know what was sent. If there was the option of No stars that's what I would give! read more

A valentine floral gift was delivered to an empty house. it was finally given to the receipient after two days of sitting outside in the rain and cold. Flowers also came with a soft toy which was soaking wet and a box of chocolates that ended up covered in ants. None of the gifts were able to be saved. I sent two emails to the company asking for a refund for the purchaser but they didn't even respond. Would not recommend them for any special delivery. read more

I had a poor experience with a delivery from the San Rafael store. What I ordered was a far cry from what was delivered. I was very disappointed. See photos. But, alas, I got a lovely call from Krystal from the Sacramento store, who wanted to go out of her way to make things right. She was so professional with amazing customer service. Can't speak highly enough of Krystal. She gave me a range of options to try to negate my poor experience, including a full refund if that was my preferred option. Thanks Krystal. My 2 star review is now a 5. read more

People are wondering if this business is a scam, and after my horrible experience, I'm wonder if this is true. Read the reviews of their SF location too. they are seriously incompetent. you're lucky if you get an arrangement delivered, ever. And according to other reviews, if you manage to get an arrangement delivered, it looks NOTHING like the picture. DO NOT do business with this place. read more

I have never used this flower company before and I ordered on line for my girlfriend an orchard and plan in a beautiful pot. The called me to tell me they delivered the flowers but didn't have the pot I ordered anymore so the sent a different pot. I called them the next day not quite as happy with the pot they choose but they actually brought two different pots by for her to choose a different one. They were LaCie to with me on the phone and were incredibly accommodating! I will use them forever and would RW amend them to anyone. They also have several other locations! Thanks again for the great service and be back soon! read more

I had a pleasure to work with Karen during my beloved Grandmother's ceremony at Mount Vernon Cemetery. She went absolutely above and beyond to help my Dad and I to pick the flowers that my Grandma loved. Due to the season obviously some flowers were not available but she substitute them with other gorgeous alternatives. Karen gave me a call to update me with current flower availabilities and she made sure I feel ok, which she didn't have to. Thank you Karen and The Flower Shop for the lovely service during this hard moments and be there for my family. read more

Just a warning to potential customers, this florist is a scam. The original William Paul Floral Design, made beautiful bouquets years ago, a website with their name is still running, but, the charge to your account will show "Willliam" -w/ 3 l's. Then when you don't get your order delivered, they send a different florist to send a much less quality bouquet and they pocket the difference. So sad. read more

You know those Yelp reviews that begin with, "I'd give zero stars if I could"? Welcome to another one....buckle up. This is a review for "William Paul Floral Design" and "Maya's Flower Shop". If you are looking for a particularly unscrupulous collaboration, look no further than this not-so-dynamic duo. I ordered a Mother's Day large "premium" floral arrangement box from William Paul Floral Design on the Tuesday before to avoid any issues for a Saturday morning delivery. I spoke with a man named "Spencer" that Friday to confirm he'd received the order and understood my substitution of Ranunculus for Carnations. He said it was handled. Cut to Saturday NIGHT at 7:15 PM and my sweet mom received a small pile of absolute dead garbage flowers (including Carnations, of course) shoved into a cheap vase filled with dirty water from "Maya's Flower Shop". Imagine my confusion when my mom sent the picture of what she received vs. what I had ordered... and not even from the correct florist! William Paul Floral Design had decided my parents' address was outside of their coverage area and, unbeknownst to me, passed my $165.00 order onto Maya's Flower Shop, a ONE star company (AKA "If they could get zero stars, they certainly would"). Not an exaggeration to say it appeared they had pulled week+ old flowers out of a dumpster and repurposed an old vase with used toilet water for this "arrangement". I have reported Maya's Florist to BBB and to the surprise of absolutely no one, this "company" already had multiple reports listed. Thankfully, I was fully refunded by William Paul Floral Design, but I am still waiting for a call back from the owner. I'm so embarrassed my mom had to feign happiness about receiving this nasty, dead excuse for a gift. read more

What a shame. I am the lady who received the flowers from this florist. My husband's message was cut off on the card and I couldn't tell what he wanted to say. The vase was half full, the greens were overstuffed and many leaves and flowers were old. I had to take the flowers out and add enough water and then completely redo the bouquet so it would look decent. It was an obstacle and irritating. He could've got a nicer bouquet at Trader Joe's. Skip this florist. read more

DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST! I had two decent experiences with them previously and didn't understand why there were so many negative reviews. Now I understand why so many people suspect this shop is some kind of scam. I placed an online order for same day delivery and upgraded to a premium bouquet for one of their featured arrangements ("Rosé all Day") and spent a little over $160 with tip. The vase was the same as advertised - but the bouquet consisted of red roses with some fern greenery - not even close to what the arrangement should've been. I could've easily spent less than $30 at Trader Joe's to create the same thing. I spent a week trying to reach someone to request a refund. My calls went directly to voicemail and my messages were ignored. I stopped by the shop and spoke to a woman who said she was unauthorized to give refunds, but took my information and assured me someone would be in touch. After not hearing from anyone, I called the SF location and reached a live person. Ultimately, I was able to get a refund, but I recommend you avoid this business altogether. read more

I was charged for a premium arrangement that was supposed to be 16 1/2" hight and 15" wide. I paid $91.57 for it. Despite the advertised size and premium fee, an arrangement barely 7" across was delivered. I tried 5 times to contact them, but to date, 3 days later, I have yet to be contacted or have my issue resolved. I feel I have been deceived. Highly disappointed. Terrible customer service. Based on my experience, I do not recommend. read more

Terrible company! Overpriced arrangements with. falsely advertised floral designs. I ordered an arrangement for my family member who just experienced a loss. The arrangement sent was nothing like the arrangement I ordered! I called numerous times, left several messages and have yet to hear back from anyone.

I made a last minute request for floral centerpieces 5 days before my event. First, William Paul Floral is open and deliver on a Sunday (many florists in the area are not). Second, they were so friendly and professional they made me feel less guilty about my procrastination. They asked for my inspiration photos, sent me a quote, and told me they'd have the centerpieces delivered to my event. Everything was incredibly easy and seamless. Not to mention the actual centerpieces were GORGEOUS and they really brought my vision to life. They listened to my requests for certain colors and flowers too. I received so many compliments. I can't recommend them enough! read more

5 stars for quality and customer service! Called two days before Valentine's Day for birthday flowers to be delivered that same day.. Well flowers didn't get delivered til day after... but they did exactly as I asked on the arrangement and it was beautiful. They apologized and added truffles with their apology. I would definitely use them again! The arrangement was exactly as I requested in color and style, and the flowers were very fresh! Still look beautiful 7 days later! I forgive the late delivery, since my last minute request was at the busiest time for any florist, and they were very concerned and forthright with apology and handled the issue as well as they could! Thank you William Paul Floral Designs! read more

Everybody sells"flowers", they need to sell "service"...OFF MY GO TO LIST : Last several years when I've needed flowers I went here, on major flower occasions like Valentines Day they used to work late, and you could call in an order and pick it up , say on the way home from work, and had reasonable prices. (we'll be here til 7-8 trying to keep up) NOT THIS YEAR, I asked if they would be in after 5pm and got the cold shoulder "We close at 5", and they wanted $99.00 for a dozen red roses bundled no vase. Bought them at COSTCO for $19.00! Check out the other reviews , seems to be hit and miss... So much for trying to support local small business. read more

1) They deliver on Sunday! 2) They deliver with short notice! 3) The flowers were fresh and beautiful, even though they sat out in the dry Sacrament weather for several hours. 4) The actual arrangement looked better than the photos! 5) I was able to do this all on line! 6) They're one of the only florists with contemporary options in Sacramento. Only thing I would change is ask that they leave a business card or some indication of what florist they are so that more people can spread the word! read more

I live in Los Angeles and my girlfriend moved to Roseville roughly 9 months ago. In that time I have used The Flower Shop twice and they have surpassed expectations both times. I ordered a designers choice arrangement last August and they were able to work with my budget. I myself work in a flower shop (just deliver) and for the amount I paid, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a picture of an arrangement much fuller than expected! Because of this, I came back to them for Valentines Day, this time with a more specific request of a smaller arrangement with 3 roses and 3 sunflowers with filler. The morning of the requested delivery, I received a phone call from The Flower Shop saying that they had the sunflowers in stock but they just weren't up-to-par with their standards. They said that they didn't want to send out any poor quality flowers that would not last and asked if they could switch out the sunflowers for something fresher. I know first-hand how crazy that time of year is for a florist and it meant a lot that, even with the craziness, they still made the call to ensure that everything would be perfect. Thank you Fair Oaks Flower Shop! I'll be calling again soon! read more

DO NOT USE THEM. I had to give one star but I would have given zero. I'm not sure if it's a front or a scam, but I ordered flowers for my mother to be delivered the day before Mother's Day. Not only were they never delivered, there is NO WAY to reach a human being. I emailed at least 3 times, left 4 voicemails, messaged through their website, Facebook and IG. I tried to reach them for 3 days and not a single response...no one ever picks up the phone. Now I have to contest the credit card charge and my poor elderly mom who was alone on Mother's Day didn't get flowers to brighten her day. Unreal. I read a similar reviews but all the others were good...I should have listened. read more

I'm a little late to review. My wedding was October 2021. Let me just start by saying that all of the arrangements were absolutely stunning! They really went above and beyond my expectations. The entire process was so easy and I felt that they listened to my vision and brought it to life. When I first saw the price, I was a little unsure, I didn't want to get stuck with skimpy arrangements on my wedding day. But when I say I was surprised, I WAS SURPRISED, beautiful full arrangements for totally doable pricing. My Bridal bouquet? ABSOLUETLY GORGEOUS! My family loved them so much that we're hoping to go through them again for my parents 25th wedding anniversary this year! Highly recommend! Great pricing, beautiful flowers, awesome service and everything was on time. It doesn't get much better than that. read more
