Nelly’s Flower Shop

What a great little spot. Looked Nelly’s up of course on Unilocal!and after reading generally good reviews I popped in post-​Jonas to pick up flowers for my sisters birthday. The girl at the front desk was lovely and accommodating and really helped to put together a nice bouquet of tulips and hyacinth. Following two feet of snow I figured a dose of Spring could do her well.
Totally reasonable on price as well — I got a rather large bouquet for $ 30 with tax. Anywhere else in Brooklyn it would have been $ 50 easily. Not to say the reduction in price affected the quality — my sister said they’re already starting to bloom.
It’s clear the staff of Nelly’s are all green thumbs

Lovely people!
Great service & awesome merchandise.
My tree was SO much more cost effect then other places I researched– only $ 25 for a good sized (4 ft) tree! YIPEE!
The sweet gentleman that helped me went over and beyond! Not only did he tie it so I could walk home easily, he trimmed the top for my star and installed the stand as well.
When I had to pay, the ladies inside were so kind too. I’m sure it gets super busy and yet they had smiles on their faces.
I’m definitely coming back after the holidays for more beautiful items.

Incredibly knowledgable and attentive staff and great variety of plants and flowers. It’s a beautiful shop!

I love this place! I am using Nelly’s for my wedding next fall, and I am so happy with the flowers Katyna helped me pick for my arrangements. Once my fiancée saw the pictures of the flowers, he loved them too, and he’s a guy!
They are the only florist I met with but I knew right away I wanted to work with them. They were very helpful, knowledgeable, attentive, and I appreciate they gave me various price options. I also love knowing I am giving my business to a family owned and run shop! I cannot wait for my wedding just so I can see my beautiful flower arrangements!

Took the G train here and thought I would surely get lost looking for the flower shop. I WAS WRONG!!!
It’s right across (thank goodness!!! praise the lord!)
The first impression that I had of this place (just judging from the front) was that it was pretty big but there were a lot of things going on. There were so many flowers that it was overwhelming. Even when I stepped into the shop there was whole lot of flowers/​plants and there was one side that had different sizes and shapes of holder for the plants.
Later on, I found out that the reason that Nelly’s flower shop was so packed with different types of plants and flowers (you may think a big mess but …) was that they are a flower shop supplier for many other flower shops. So all the plants and flowers that I saw were CHEAP! and beautiful! Once these flowers are shipped to the many other flower places, the prices goes up (retail and all) .
I went in to get the terrain plant (look it up– it’s so cute~) They had many that were already pre-​made. There were many plants and I decided that I wanted to mix and match. The shop owners were there and were really helpful. They told me how they usually don’t customized the terrains and are usually pre-​made by them but since it was my first time they would for me and also that it wasn’t a problem for them (how nice is that?!)
I chose my plant, which was a succulent plant in a round glass holder. The owner let me pick the theme, I picked the more natural theme. A few rocks were placed in it as well as moss, a cute deer picked by yours truly and two cute little mushrooms.
I loved the end result and the best part! The price… guess how much!
30? — WRONG! 25? — wrong again! …ok ok… it was only 15 $, it’s a great price.
I would come here again. Why go to any other florists when Nelly’s flower shop is a direct supplier which means cheap and their flower quality are on point. Plus side is that the owners are all so friendly and helpful. They would explain anything when asked. They can even tell you what’s best for your house /​room in order to care for your plant.
ALSO! they had a cute little rabbit and a sleepy fat cat. How adorbs is that? They let you pet them too. lol
Check it out!

Walk-​In Review: The inventory is amazingly lush if you are willing to pay flower district price everything apart from the pre-​bouquet bunches are $ 2 and up. The helpers are more than happy to help you pick the flowers good for an arrangement. Per the old Caucasian man (operations manager?) they don’t throw anything in for free any longer. Parking is difficult but I’d rather try my luck at the flower district instead.

Amazing! I went to Nelly’s 3 weeks before my wedding day after my original florist fell through. (Brides worst nightmare.) Katyna, Nelly’s daughter helped me and she was an angel! I gave her my strict budget and showed her what I wanted and she then gave me every option possible without taking me over my price range. My arrangements came out wonderful, and she even accommodated my last minute (day of!) requests.
Thank you! Thank you!

We used Nelly’s for our Williamsburg wedding in May and we had a great experience. This is a no-​frills shop, more like a shack, but their service was outstanding. Katyna met with us and helped us figure out what we wanted, and within about a half hour, we had our entire floral plan worked out and in the can. Their prices are unbelievable compared to some of the other places around. Like, half of what you’d pay at other, nearby places. And the flowers were gorgeous. I was beginning to panic about the price that other places were quoting us, and knew there was no way I could take on flowers as a DIY job. I was SO HAPPY we found Nelly’s! Highly recommend!

My boyfriend surprised me with these flowers from this flower shop and they are the most beautiful flowers I’ve ever received! Whoever did them did a wonderful job and I was speechless! Thank you so much!

I recently wanted to do DIY centerpieces for my friend’s bridal shower and went to Nelly’s to order the flowers. Not only did I get a great deal on the flowers but one of the florists gave me great advice for how to arrange the flowers and she bunched them for me and cut each bouquet to the size I needed. After the shower a guest took some of the bouquets home and they lasted for quite a few days as well. The florists here are really sweet, friendly and knowledgeable. There are also really unique pieces and gifts here too.

This is the first negative review I have ever written, I’m saddened to do it, but needs to be addressed. Firstly I do want to say that the young woman that assisted me at the shop was very nice and seemingly helpful. I told her that the flowers were for my friends birthday, and asked if they were fresh, she assured me they were. I purchased several bouquets to put together at home, also a few single stems of peonies and sunflower. By the time I got home one of the peonies already looked wilted. I’ve seen flowers wilt early before, maybe after 3 or 4 days, but the next day?!! Never! I spent nearly 50 $ for flowers that are now trash less than 24 hours later. This is truly unacceptable. I added 2 stars because of nice customer service, for the product however it would be zero. Update: Contacted the shop with the problem, and was refunded almost half of the price.

Excellent service, excellent arrangement, and very reasonable price. I highly recommend using Nelly’s for your Brooklyn florist needs.

**********10 stars if that were possible! **********
When you need flowers, don’t go anywhere else. Ever walk into a flower shop and think, «I know I want flowers, but not sure which.» Come here and you’ll find something you didn’t even know you wanted, feeling very happy you visited. It’s happened to me many times. This family run business is so caring with their customers, they offer a personable atmosphere that insures every customer walks away with something they’ll love. The staff at Nelly’s has fantastic expertise to guide you in selecting from their bountiful inventory. From the wide variety of flowers, to sturdy house plants, terrariums of succulents, to that perfect bouquet to say I love you to someone special, to something for the kids like Venus Fly Traps, they have everything! I love when it’s time to bring home flowers from here. The family is always a pleasure to speak to and catch up with. Like visiting old friends.

Can’t tell you how impressed I am. The girls are very helpful. Large selection of bouquets and pot plants. Absolutely in love with the succulents. Nelly’s flower shop is my favorite! You can place order over the phone or online, and they will deliver at your time preference. Love it

I ordered a rose arrangement for my mom today to beat the Valentine’s Day rush tomorrow. Thanks to Unilocal i found Nelly’s Flower shop nearby my mother’s house, I live in Florida. Within 2 hours of ordering they delivered a beautiful arrangement to my mother. She loves it so I love it. Choose local florists over national companies, the quality of service is so much better and the delivery fee was $ 10 for same day service. This is a steal compared to online companies. Thank you for fast service and great quality!

The nicest people in the world work here and they have such beautiful flowers! They also sell amazing Voluspa candles that me and my friend couldn’t get enough of. An awesome place.

Nelly’s staff was extremely helpful during my visit. I felt right at home. Their selection was impeccable and full of life. Their arrangements are also very beautiful. I will definitely go back for all my floral needs.

Extremely happy with this company. My girlfriend works nearby, and I called the day before her birthday to order a mid-​sized bouquet. I spoke with an individual on the phone who I believe said her name is Katina, and is a florist there. I didn’t have anything particular in mind, and the florist offered to put something together based on my price point. The florist went into just enough detail about what she was planning on doing to make me comfortable, but not too much to overwhelm me with the details. She even offered to text me when it was delivered.
Anyway, I asked for delivery the following morning between 10 and 11, and, sure enough, at about 10:30 or so I get a text from the florist confirming delivery, and attaching a picture of the bouquet. It was REALLY nice! I’m not sure what specific types were in it, but they looked really fancy — not just filler stuff like you’d see at a bodega. It was something that would look great at a fancy restaurant or hotel. And I was really happy with the price too; I’ve ordered similar-​sized fancy bouquets in the past, and they’re usually more expensive.
Oh, and shortly after, I get a similar text from my girlfriend saying how beautiful the flowers are!
Bottom line: asking the florist to put together her choice of flowers worked out great. Would definitely order from here again.

I love Nelly’s — Nelly, her husband (who is there most of the time) and their daughters, are all extremely helpful and sweet. I’ve been going to this place for over 8 years now, and it’s always great.

About five blocks away from the Williamsburg Bridge you can find this very nice mom & pop shop in the Williamsburg area. They do great arrangements for a great price– all the arrangements you see at the big Manhattan florists you can get here, but for a fraction of the price. I always try to use them for my flower needs, as their selection is impeccable and goregeous, and their service is great and personable. Really large selection of cut flowers and plants. You can create your own arrangement and have them hook it up with what ever you want. They got a HUGE greenshouse, it is like a garden once you step in there.
