I have a friend who sends me flowers from Milwaukie Floral and Garden every birthday and they're always such a delight to receive. I peeked at their website to look at their options (as I'll certainly go through them next time I want flowers delivered) and I am so gratified to see that the bouquets look exactly the same in their photos as they do in real life. Other florists often show spectacular, dramatic arrangements on their websites, but actually deliver underwhelming miniature versions of what they picture. Milwaukie Florist uses completely accurate advertising. I also noticed their prices and I'll confirm that sending flowers is always expensive but, considering you get exactly what you see in the photo, with same-day delivery, while supporting a small, local business, these are really low, competitive prices. I live in a far corner of North Portland but this florist delivers to the entire Portland metro area; you don't have to live in Milwaukie to shop here. As a happy bouquet recipient, I'd recommend this shop to anyone.
Update: 1 week later, the bouquet I received on my birthday is still so fresh that it looks like the flowers were picked this morning. I continue to highly recommend...
Read moreDecided to order my wedding bouquet from Milwaukie Floral. The bouquet they made for me was beautiful. Was it what I wanted? No. I asked for peonies if they were available. No peonies, ok no big deal. They weren't in season any longer. I asked for daliahs, I got 2 half dead daliahs that ended up brown and wilted the day of my wedding. I had to cut them out. I asked for ferns, no ferns. I had to go buy my own and add them. I did not want traditional roses. I got a lot of traditional roses. I asked for thistles!! And I got thistles, but they were bunch up on the inside. Literally bunched together in the middle of the bouquet. I didn't know they were there until I disassemble my bouquet. When I layed out my bouquet, 90% was greenery and leaves. 10% were actual flowers. It was a nice bouquet. But not what I asked for. And wasn't any where close to my reference photo. I feel the price I paid did not reflect what I got. I should not have picked a floral store that was so far away, because I didn't have the time to ask for changes. Everyone I encountered there was super nice!! Just disappointed how my bouquet turned out. They do beautiful work, just not for wedding bouquets...
Read moreMilwaukie Floral is a must use for your wedding or any large event! I can't rave enough about this shop as they were so fun and easy to work with. We were having our wedding in Portland, but were having to do all of our planning from out of state. From our consultation, to phone check ins, and the final event, Cory was amazing to work with. She was available through the website, phone, or email whenever we had questions for her and was always in a cheerful mood from the other end of the line. Due to covid, we had to replan our whole wedding twice, then again for a third time as we had to majorly downside. With this being said, we had to change our order a couple times and Cory was happy to help us in anyway she could. Our big day came and all of our flowers were beyond gorgeous and had arrived to our venue without any issues. My bridal bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets turned out beautiful and was exactly how I had envisioned them. Please please please use Milwaukie Floral, as you will NOT be disappointed! 5 stars all...
