FIRST and LAST time I'll give them my business. My boyfriend searched for a florist who would order Peonies for me for Valentine's Day and this florist agreed. The only problem is apparently Peonies are NOT in season and that's why other florists denied his request. How would we know that though we're only the customer? So Always and Forever ordered them for a hefty fee of $100. When my boyfriend went to pick them up the owner wanted $50 more because the vendor sent 5 more than ordered. My boyfriend refused because that's not what he asked for. I called and asked how to take care of them and did EXACTLY what they said. Not ONE peony opened up. Not one. They wilted, got brown, and 5 never even opened. I went back to the florist a week later and brought the flowers with me to show them the result. The employee was VERY sweet and said she'd do everything to help and would talk to the owner. A week later I didn't get a call back so I called them and she said the owner was NOT willing to do anything except a measly 10% off our next purchase (which was never coming) I didn't even want my money back. Just a simple phone call apologizing, maybe store credit or another bouquet that was already in store. I was more than nice in this situation especially since my boyfriend spent $100. I let the woman know that they lost our business and that I'd be telling my family, friends, and writing negative reviews. The owner handled this situation SO WRONG. He's a new owner that has no knowledge of flowers and I hope this teaches him a huge lesson. Unfortunately we had to suffer. I wouldn't suggest this...
Read moreI recently needed a breathtaking bouquet for a friend who was graduating with her doctorate, and I found Always and Forever Flowers online. I wasn’t sure what I wanted, but I knew it had to be extraordinary. Ms. Elizabeth Collazos de Diaz exceeded all my expectations.
Despite my vague instructions, Ms. Diaz created an arrangement that truly took my friend’s breath away. She was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring the flowers were perfect. Not only did she hand-deliver the bouquet herself, but in a stroke of serendipity, my friend saw the flowers as she was walking into the hotel and was completely blown away by their beauty – not even knowing they were for her.
Ms. Diaz’s dedication and talent left me speechless and excited. She took great care of me, and I am confident she will do the same for anyone. The only downside is that I don’t live in Jersey but in Virginia, so I don’t have regular access to her amazing service. However, if she ever ships out, she will always be my first choice for any special occasion. Thank you, Ms. Diaz, for making such a memorable moment even...
Read moreHorrible place, stay away. I used to go to my favorite place Old Bridge Florist but because of a fire I was forced to go to "that" place. I always get flowers for my wife and one cute flower for my little daughter. So when I walked in I asked for one little spring flower and I didn't even finish my order , I guess the big wig boss behind the counter says minimum is $25. I stood there for 10 seconds with amazement because I didn't even finish my order and he cut me off. I said ok and I walked out wishing him a great day!! So finally I was really forced to go there again because it's the only place near my house and I really needed flowers. I ordered a dozen red roses, I'm no flower expert but they literally lasted 3 days. Horrible place do yourselves a favor and stay clear. I hope the other place comes back soon!!...
