I walked into Flowers Inc one evening last week in search of flowers to send to a funeral. I was shopping for a group of friends and we had decided against buying on internet as every website seemed to offer the exact same standard arrangements. I had been rejected by my local florist who didn't fancy delivering at a given time to a church outside their immediate neighbourhood and was feeling apprehensive. I was greeted by Yann who after consulting with his boss agreed to take the commission. I gave him a budget and nothing much else, giving him carte blanche. On the afternoon of the funeral Yann called me to check I was satisfied with the flowers and sent me a photo of the arrangement to share with those of us who hadn't been able to attend. The arrangement was beautiful, not "funerary" in a traditional way but very right for the occasion and so much more personal than the internet options and delivered with a card I was able to write in my own hand. The wonder of it is Yann actually thanked me for trusting him with creating the arrangement.

Read moreLiving in Canada and trying to send flowers to you daughter and her fiance in London can be a tough task. Will you get what you order? Will the florist be helpful? And as I'm always trying to support local I found Flowers Inc., through a Google search, and noticed they were near the Gloucester Rd Tube Station (a spot I am familiar with from visits to London) and close to where my daughter lives. I took a chance and I can say in this case.... YES to both. I made the right choice! I connected with Rozmina initially through email. in the reply I was asked for my phone number in Canada, and without a concern, I rec'd a call on my cell early the next day. We chatted for a few minutes and I explained what I was looking for and what my budget was. After a couple of minutes I knew that I wouldn't be disappointed. The conversation and suggestions assured me that this was a professional florist. I asked for Rozmina to send me a photo of my order so that I could see what my daughter would receive. I was absolutely pleased. Everything about this experience was top notch! Thank you for providing my daughter with something beautiful and making my purchase from Canada an easy one. I won't hesitate to use your florist again. Thank...
Read moreTruly appreciated the level of service and dedication to getting things right! I ordered from the US for a friend visiting London. The florist messaged to ensure they understood exactly what was expected and made suggestions which were greatly appreciated.
After the good results of last week, I placed an another order for the same arrangement this week. Unfortunately, the results this time were very disappointing. The arrangement did not contain what was expected and the delivery was unsatisfactory. When I brought this to the attention of the company, I was told I was wrong about the arrangement and they disclaimed any responsibility for the delivery. I will not be using these services...
