A Golden Touch

I have ordered from Connie @ Golden Touch for over 10yrs for every occasion. I’m from Metairie but live in Atlanta — have visited the shop as well. They always do a fabulous job, beautiful bouquets, fresh flowers. Just tell them color scheme and a couple types of flowers and they will design something great. One time in 10yrs I said the bouquet looked a bit skimpy in the pic they immediately resent a new one. Fabulous ladies fabulous service.

Drop in on the day of when you need a beautiful bouquet. You’ll have to wait about 25 minutes but they’ll give you the best they got at an incredibly reasonable rate. Plus there’s a great poboy place a few doors down you can eat while you wait.

Went here with my husband to purchase flowers for his mother’s tomb in Metairie Cemetery. The owner was very sweet and helpful and we purchased some gorgeous Stargazer Lilies.

I don’t really care for a lot of the people my wife works with, so every year for v day or her birthday (or sometimes for no reason) I like to send flowers and gifts to make everyone jealous of my wife. Not the best motive I suppose, but it is what it is.
This year I decided to send flowers from a couple of different places so she wouldn’t be expecting them if she were to look at the bank account (I used multiple cards). The arrangement I chose from Golden Touch was pretty awesome and easily my favorite. It was a modern arrangement with lilies and orchids. I ordered it on Wednesday the 9^th for delivery on Monday the 14^th. On Saturday the 12^th I received a call from Golden Touch explaining that they were out of the flowers they needed to make that arrangement. I tried to find some substitutes, but they kept suggesting things like snap dragons and roses instead of the more unusual flowers I had originally purchased like orchids and proteas.
All in all I was very disappointed that they waited until the Saturday before Valentine’s day to tell me this. It was too late for me to order flowers that don’t suck or don’t cost 10x’s more than they already did. I won’t be using them again just because they were in my opinion inconsiderate.
