Beautiful Bouquets... even when your clueless guy orders them :)

by saxiebanker

The most gorgeous bouquet I ever got was from there. Suffice to say, not only was it pretty, but for $40, it took up the entire passengers seat of my boyfriend's car. It was huge! And, since he had to travel up to PA to give it to me, they put water containers on every individual stem, to help it travel well! (Needless to say, it survived beautifully, and we got a great laugh out of taking 15 min to remove all of them). I still have the half-role of photos I took of it from every angle, because it was so lovely I wanted to remember it forever, long after the flowers themselves had faded and died. And, here was his instructions: "She likes purple and orange flowers. Or was it salmon? She wants pretty and colorful, just make it look nice. And try not to use red or white roses. She hates those."

Surprisingly, after they went nuts with it, it came out gorgeous... orange, purple, vague instructions, and all. There were a lot of adriatic/stargazer style lillies, purple irises, some lavender roses, and a bunch of really neat flowers and greens I couldn't name all of. And was very artistically done. The arrangement was well balanced and very well done, partly symmetrical yet looking rather organically natural and not overly contrived.

We've used them since, and they always are helpful, and do well. I highly recommend them.

• Pros: nice arrangements
• Cons: not the cheapest florist ever, but you get what you pay for
