I was very disappointed by my experience here. My fiance' and I had decided to elope so we came here to get a bouquet and boutonniere with about 10 days to spare before our event, expecting that they would help us with picking out flowers/designs/etc. The woman at the desk was unfriendly when she first greeted us and when I told her why I was there she asked me if I had any ideas and I said I did not really have any ideas yet. She was aghast that I had not done any research prior to coming in to her establishment and told me to leave and come back when I have an idea of what I want. She was very unfriendly and made me feel very, very stupid. Any other time I have gone to a florist for other flower-needs I wasn't required to have done my "homework" before coming and was shown picture examples of other arrangements they had done and engaged in a discussion with the florist about what the options were and developed a plan - which is what I was expecting would happen when we walked into this florist. Needless to say, we did not come back to get our flowers here and were able to find another florist that was willing to help us without making us feel...
Read moreMonica Cujino and Juan Alvarez, the dynamic team at Gulfport Florist, were an absolute delight to collaborate with for our wedding at Tampa Bay Watch on October 7th, 2023. As Gulfport natives, my husband and I were keen on finding a florist who not only comprehended our wedding vision but also shared our connection to the local community. Monica and Juan exceeded our expectations and were incredibly accommodating.
From the stunning pink boutonnieres that elegantly complemented our hunter-green tuxedos to the breathtaking tropical arrangements that served as the backdrop for our vows, their work was truly exceptional. They played a pivotal role in bringing to life the minimalist tropical theme we had envisioned, and the result garnered an abundance of compliments. In fact, our wedding photos became a sensation on Facebook, amassing over 9.5K likes and hundreds of heartwarming comments.
We cannot speak highly enough of Gulfport Florist and eagerly anticipate working with them for all our future floral needs. Their dedication and talent truly made our special day even...
Read moreNot only did these flowers make my day, but so did the delivery guy, Kirk. He was so patient while I juggled a nursing newborn, toddler, 4 year old, and puppy to open the door. Although puppy is only 5 months, he’s already a pretty big German shepherd who barks and even growls at people he doesn’t know. He did not do this to Kirk and I could immediately tell why. Kirk brought the flowers in for me (GORGEOUS arrangement. I love them so much!!), spoke to my kids like they’re actual people (THANK YOU), and loved on the pup for a quick minute before on his way again. He wished us a warm congrats, thanked my cop husband for his service, and not once did I feel awkward or uncomfortable to be nursing in front of him that entire time. Thank you thank you thank you. We love this florist and have used them frequently over the past 7 years, and highly recommend them to others. My grandparents just happened to hit the jackpot choosing them without even knowing they’re...
