Winston is really the best of the best when it comes to flowers. They are my go-to east coast flower spot. I have had flowers and fruit baskets sent for all of my parents' anniversaries over the last 5+ years, family reunions, mother's days, etc. Their arrangements are spectacular and they use unusual and exotic blooms. Do not waste your money on the crappy, run-of-the-mill 1800 flower places, Winston blows them all away with their A+, breathtaking creations. read more

The employees at Chestnut Hill were exceptional. They kind and helpful and informative. Unfortunately the prices were astronomical. One stem of hydrangea was $25.00 And a small arrangement is $200.00!!! I did buy some lizianthas, though.. I love the store read more

I rushed into Winston Flowers Chestnut Hill on a late Sunday afternoon in search of a bouquet for a beloved teacher's birthday to drop off Monday morning. The logistics were a little tricky. Mia went above and beyond to make a beautiful bouquet for me within my budget and work out the pick up at the store on Monday morning so I could make the birthday drop and make it to work on time. read more

$229 for a holiday vase that I picked up. Put in my own vase at home. Came without the usual packet of flower powder and only last 4 days! Far too many greens.... Was once a loyal customer decades ago, but never again. Whole Foods will design whatever you want and are honest about the value. read more

They are overpriced and the flowers are never pristine neither are the plants. I would not mind to pay if only was it worth it. There aren't special plants nor special flowers. Their planters are absolutely regular vases that you can virtually find anywhere, they are an extortion. Winston Flowers doesn't have competitors because there aren't many nursery around, they can price it for whatever cost, BUT IT DOESN'T WORTH IT. read more

Totally overrated and poor service!.I had a plant and HUGE planter delivered which they LEFT AT my front door. They said they rang the bell (I was home) They sent me a text later saying the plant was outside -so I don't understand why they didn't just call me when when no one came to the door. I had them come back and bring the plant inside, it took them 45 min because of rush hour. I had reached out to the driver first but he had to check his schedule to see when he could get back to me I then called the 800 number and got a person who didn't seem very interested in my situation but asked if she should get them to come back! I had paid $125 for delivery and $2000 for the plant and planter so for her to ask if I needed them back was a bit rich in my opinion. - poor service all the way around. read more

Beautiful inventory if your willing to pay major bucks. Went here yesterday to get a small bouquet of flowers. Salesperson acted like she was doing us a favor by helping us. Didn't stop what she was doing to speak with us and pawned us off to another salesperson. Fifty bucks for about 5 flowers and greens. Cannot recommend. read more

I selected Winston Flower because I am never disappointed. I pay top dollar but the flowers or plants are always top-notch. I stopped by and selected a center piece to be delivered for Thanksgiving. As usual, the arrangement had an assortment of unusual flowers. They use different flowers then the one's you would find at a normal florist. Winston augments their flowers with ivy and berries to give it a unique look. I can look at at an arrangement and know right away that it was from Winston. Now that is product recognition for you. read more

I ordered the garden beauty bridesmaid bouquet as my wedding bouquet. The customer service was above and beyond, and the bouquet was beautiful - exactly as pictured on their website. They delivered the bouquet all the way to my house in Winthrop in a timely manner. The flowers were fresh and beautiful, and their staff was so friendly and helpful. read more

I came to Winston's after another local florist, recommended to me by a cemetery, was rude and insensitive, and I am so glad to have found them. Their zen storefront immediately made me feel comfortable. I came in, and was greeted by Elise (I hope that's correct). I explained to her that I was looking for a flower arrangement for a funeral that was being held in four days. Immediately she expressed that she was sorry for my loss, and directed me to a booklet that had their "sympathy for the service" collection. None of them particularly stood out to me as the right fit, so I asked if we could change an arrangement from the booklet for the vase to be shorter, and to add more greenery. She showed me some examples of what it could look like and it was perfect. I gave her the time and date of the service and they told me they would take care of getting it there by 10 (service was at 11:00). She took my information in case something went wrong, and again expressed how sorry she was for my loss. I showed up to the service at 10:00, and the flowers were there and absolutely perfect. Not only did Winston's make me feel comfortable knowing that everything would be taken care of, but the arrangement was absolutely beautiful. The arrangement was extremely reasonably priced for the ease of the process and beauty of the flowers, and I will not be going anywhere else whenever I need flowers in the Boston area. read more

I want to thank Winston's for getting flowers to my 85 year old father who's very sick from Covid. I called them on Dec 22nd to see if they could be delivered before Christmas. Cape Cod Florists weren't taking any more orders, but they were able to squeeze me into a delivery they had going to the Cape the next day! Exceptional service!!! The lady who took the call was very patient as I fought back tears while giving her the note for the card. I live in California, but when I want the best flowers I always call Winston's! Thank you!!!!!! read more

This place is full of kind professional people. Ordered yesterday and the flowers arrived with lovely chocolates (a mouse!). They smell and look amazing. Thank you!! read more

They should give you a pin when you leave this place that says "SUCKER" in big font on it. Because if you are buying flowers here for 4-5 times as much as they'd cost anywhere else, and probably not look as good or last as long, then you are a sucker. read more

I ordered a bouquet for my wife for Mother's Day through Winston flowers and they did an incredible job fulfilling my order. When I picked up the bouquet, it was packaged wonderfully and looked beautiful. I was very excited to bring it home to my wife. When we got home and my wife opened the box it came in, I immediately noticed that some of the leaves on the arrangement were ripped and some filler stems were wilted. I was immediately disappointed. After spending a significant amount for a floral arrangement I expected absolute perfection and excellence. I reached out to Winston Farms on Instagram, sent them pictures of the bouquet that we received and almost immediately a representative reached back out. They respond to me on a Sunday evening, on Mother's Day. The next morning, Michael a manager from the local shop gave me a call, apologized and assured that we would get a replacement bouquet the same day. My wife received a new bouquet in a couple hours after the conversation. The new arrangement was absolutely perfect. The incredible level of customer service at Winston Flowers is unmatched. Yes, arrangements are more expensive than most places, but you don't just pay for flowers you pay for the experience and the customer service of the company you are working with. I really appreciate the quick response, ownership and the replacement bouquet. 10/10 quality, 10/10 customer service. read more

The Boston suburbs have no shortage of great florists, but Winston Flowers is definitely a cut above. Though they may be a few dollars more than others, the joy that their beautiful blooms bring are worth it every time. Under a tight deadline, I ordered from them late one evening, *hoping* the arrangement would arrive at a reasonable time the next day, and they arrived before 9AM--a perfect start to a day with fresh, full blooms. read more

eh....make it 2 and 1/2 stars, okay? I wanted a simple and relatively inexpensive flower bouquet. The adorable, clever pre-made arrangements felt too expensive and just not worth the $. Instead, I decided I'd get just 3-4 free standing stems from the a la carte arrangements off to the side. No vase or container needed. How expensive could that be? NEARLY TWICE AS EXPENSIVE as the arrangements I had passed on for being too expensive. Is it just me, or is $20 for ONE hydrangea STEM way out of line with what the floral market will bare? Come on, $5 for some weedy looking "greens" ??(Star Market flower dept up the street is not as fresh, but same exact stems were only $7 each (same color) there). Ooo I can feel the Winston sales people shuddering all the way from here. Winston's has wonderful stuff, and I'm always happy to be the recipient when someone else is paying for it. Their prices are just to excessive and I for one, won't stop again to smell the roses there unless I have to (or unless you send me some). read more

Stopped at the Chestnut Hill location yesterday and found everything that we needed for various containers. Amy assisted with everything -- knowledgeable and very helpful. We'll be back later in the season as they start to receive additional products. Overall, Winstons really goes out of their way to provide great products, provides expert help, and overall makes a great sourcing and shopping experience. In the age of when you can get just about anything online -- stopping and shopping that the physical location makes it more enjoyable. read more

My daughter purchased roses for me on this past Mother's Day. While they looked beautiful on the first day, they were dying by Wednesday. I went to Trader Joe's for replacements but that only prolonged the display for another day as the rest of Winston's died. I have purchased flowers from Stop and Shop which lasted longer! read more

No question about it, this outpost of Winston Flowers is by far my favorite. Not only is it the closest to our apartment, but it has an ethereal feel about it. I walk in and instantly feel calm. The floral designs are out of this world. The two designers that they have right now are both young, and they are infusing a worldly design view on what has been a traditional art form. I think every time I visit Winstons I see an arrangement and slap my forehead and say "Why didn't I think of that!" The choices of flowers and plants are varied, each that is offered for sale is perfect. Whether you own a vase or buy one of the colorful and interesting holders, what you bring in your door will change your home for the better. Recommended: get one of the Winston Preferred Customer Program Cards. I believe that every 4th or 5th time you present it when you make a purchase, you will get a free bouquet. Not too shabby! You can also access past orders, and also you will be alerted to promotions and offers that the general public won't know about :) Exclusivity rules. And if you are buying your flowers at Winstons, you are already a member of the smart and cool crowd ! read more

Yeah - it's pricey - but dude, it's Newton. And unlike a lot of places, this place put up with us for a solid 2 hours while we riffled through a bunch of different options for stylin up our back deck. they were patient, friendly, and very helpful - and weren't insulted when we shot down ideas. trust me, we needed help in this department, and we got it. read more

By far THE BEST floral shop EVER. The arrangements they put together are just elegant, extravagant and PERFECT. Yes, PERFECT. No other floral shop can compare, and I mean in any way. Check out some of the pictures I've uploaded, and you'll understand. I got a happy pink ball of spring, a gigantic birthday arrangement cascading with spring/summer, sunflowers so happy you want to stick your face in them, the most perfect peonies you've ever seen, coral roses that made me actually like roses for once...oh, and david austin roses, which smell like heaven and look as if they're almost a peony when they open up. Need I go on? This place does incredible work. read more

This store always produces amazing flower arangements. they use very high quality flowers and they seem to last a very long time. I took a beatiful arrangement over to my inlaws home for a holiday and my mother in law loved it. I still get comments from her about how beautiful the arrangement was. That was worth the slightly higher cost for the WOW factor that was involved there!!! read more

This place does Winston justice. Perfect showroom for their creative designs and beautiful floral selections. The showroom has a "zen" feel to it, and even the attitude of the staff is calming. You can walk through the greenhouse to see their selections. Beautiful! read more

Simply the very best florist in the greater Boston area. Somewhat pricey but worth it!!!

Winston Florist is perhaps the most prestigious flower shop in the Boston area. They have a unique style of compact floral arrangements in glass/ceramic containers. People in the Boston area who know about these things recognize Winston Florists arrangements on sight, similar to the little boxes from Shreve, Crump and Low. The prices and quality are high (although prices are somewhat lower in the store than on the website for loose arrangments). I also recommend Winston Florists for houseplants and containers, I have always had success with their orchids. read more

I used to have winstons in my go to category for flowers. Its very pricey, but the quality WAS worth it. The last few times I spent $100 worth of arrangements on a special occasion delivered poor results. One time, the flowers died within 24 hours of receiving them. This last time, the vase included with the flowers was broken. I sent a picture of hte vase to Winstons to alert them (hey, they may have gotten bad supplies from a vendor), but received no reply to two separate emails. I'm not sure if this is because I ordered them over the web (I was away on business). It's not that the flowers are bad, in fact, they are very nice. It's that for the money you spend, the aggravation isn't worth it. You only get one chance to make an impression with flowers... read more

coming from someone who used to work at winston's, this is absolutely the best location. i love them all, but this one is not a store, it's an experience. you walk into a lush green indoor garden...not a flower store. i mean of course there are beautiful flowers , but really the highlights of this store are: tons of high-quality plants that range from succulents to orchids; the employees' amazing interior design skills (they are especially good at picking out cool furniture); and the feeling of relief you get when you walk into the store or the greenhouse. honestly, once you walk in you'll just have a sigh of relief because you are in a beautiful plant and flower wonderland that has a modern design but is still very earthy. honestly i would trust these people to design anything. go here for fun, for flowers, for plants or even for garden design. read more

Winston Flowers - looked gorgeous in the hotel room - Florists Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

I recently stopped in to purchase a holiday wreath for my front door (I've been both a fan and customer for many years but hadn't been in awhile). I ended up with the large greens wreath for $50. When I approached the counter to pay, the salesperson asked if I'd like them to add a bow and proceeded to show me the selection to choose from. Fast forward to paying when I questioned how the total had increased beyond the simple math of adding up what I was purchasing and I was told the bow was $40. Don't consumer protection laws prohibit businesses from not informing customers of additional costs? I am fully aware that I would pay more for their quality and design, but slipping in extra costs is criminal. read more

After trying Mahoney's Brighton and Winchster and Ricky's Somervile for months, I went to Winston today looking for a really tall houseplant. They were great. Beth helped me - she was friendly, knowledgeable and she really worked hard to get me what I needed to make me happy. Success. Not inexpensive, but worth it to get something that really works for me. Definitely recommended for both the plants and the quality of the service. read more

The quality of the flowers at Winston's really is quite good.

Always great presentation, unusual designs. Like this location because people are very friendly and accommodating. Some great prices on bunched flowers daily. read more

One time I thought I was doing the right thing by ordering flowers from the smaller local shop and helping out "the little guy" and my girlfriend although was happy said, "But they're not Winston's". I ordered a dozen red roses today from Winston's as to not make the same mistake twice and my girlfriend was beside herself at how beautiful the roses are. So once again, thank you Winston Flowers for making our Valentine's Day extra special. read more

The moral of the story is that sometimes it is worth spending more. Every year I do my garden and take great pride. In the past I have only gone to the inexpensive vendors to buy my flowers. This year, I went to Winston to buy my plants. True more expensive but worth every penny. They took great joy in helping me plan and taught me how to take good care of the plants. They were patient and good teachers of their craft. A special call out to Bill who spent a great deal of time helping me. My garden is better than ever and it is with thanks to the team and quality of products at Winston. read more

Fine for arrangements but if you just want flowers or plants, stay away. They've become very ordinary and extraordinarily over-priced. Here are some recent examples: Hellebores which are easily obtained for $9.99 at Trader Joe's or 16.99 at Mahoney''s are $40.00 each at Winston's--same size, same quality. Large air plants are $8-$10 elsewhere and $25 each at Winston's. Even if you're able to pay that much, suggest you shop elsewhere and donate the balance to a worthwhile cause. read more

When my husband sends me flowers it's always from Winston Flowers. Not only are the flowers always amazing but so is their customer service. My husband sent me flowers at work 2 days ago and as I was carrying them they slipped out of my hand and crashed to the floor. I was able to salvage the flowers and put them in a bucket. 1 hour later the nicest lady ever called me from Winston's to make sure I got my delivery (my husband never leaves a card "if you don't know they are from me, than we have a problem") I told her that they were beautiful but i dropped them and broke the vase. She had a new even more amazing delivery of flowers sent to me the next day. read more

Today is Valentine's day. I ordered a dozen roses delivered to my spouse at work just as I have done for past 20 years.This year I switched to Winston' Flowers due to their reputation and location just across the street from my spouse's place of business.Three of the roses arrived dead or dying. They were immediately called and despite being located across the street, they would not come to replace roses. I am extremely disappointed at the quality and service. I expected unparalleled quality and service for a $150 for a dozen roses from such a renowned florist.Their inability and unwillingness to drive less than 5 minutes to correct what should have been a loving and beautiful gift has ruined this Valentine's Day. read more
