Flowers of the World

I had my wedding at the Trump Soho and Flowers of the World was their preferred vendor for flowers. I decided to book them without looking around because it seemed like the easiest thing to do and they are rated #1. Since flowers aren’t important to me, we weren’t looking to spend what other weddings spend in NYC. Even though we easily spent 5 figures with them, I felt like I was very unimportant to them. It took over 6 weeks to get a first proposal from them after meeting at their shop and then several more weeks to get a revision after that. My emails were constantly ignored and when I would resort to calling, they said they were so busy with other weddings they couldn’t acknowledge my emails. The flowers and installation looked perfect on my wedding day and I felt the price was fair for NYC but I cannot recommend them because of their terrible service.

Rude & expensive. Not worth it in my opinion as for that price you can easily find other florists who do just as good a job.

I’ve been going here for a couple of years, they are expensive, but very good. I have always been put off by the rude staff, but I continued using them because they really do a very good job of putting together unique and beautiful bouquets. After calling today place an order, the salesperson was so rude, and short that the scales have tipped. I will never recommend or use this shop again, despite the excellent product they create.

What a lousy experience. I purchased a voucher through gilt group. I don’t know if they think my money is less valuable than someone who didn’t discover them through gilt or if they just treat all new customers like scum. Apparently they made two attempts to deliver the flowers but left no notice. I was understanding the first time around since they said they wrote my phone number down incorrectly but when I called the second time around they claim the same thing happened. The «gentleman» then proceeded with, «Do you even know if this person lives in Manhattan?» I told him that yes I did since the flowers were for me. «Well you live in a walk up right? What are we supposed to do about that? If we make a third delivery attempt we will have to charge you for that. You should just come to our store and pick them up. But you need to call before you do that.»
No apologies for screwing up. I am sure the flowers are beautiful but the service is way bellow substandard.
At least on another note gilt group was nice enough to give me a credit with them and I can put this behind me.

amazing job!!! they hand write all of their cards to the recipient too… excellent touch! I highly recommend for anniversary’s, birthdays and any time a guy wants to impress his lady

I was in NYC on business a few years back and happened upon Flowers when on 55^th Street. I was really mesmerized by their display. I have occasion to send flowers once a year to a NY resident and began ordering from Flowers. While I have never seen my orders, the impression they make every year is well worth the price. For special persons, who you really want to impress, this is the way to go.

When it came to my wedding bouquet, I had very specific needs: french violets wrapped in Ivy, like the ones every woman in my maternal family had at their weddings, from as far back as anyone alive can remember.
I must have called damn near 200 flower shops in New York, and emailed about 35 from around the country and abroad, only to be told «no violets in march» or worse, «bouquets can’t be made from violets». Are you kidding me? No they were not kidding, they often suggested I tried something else, in a completely different color to boot. I’m not usually an unreasonable woman (pause for straight face attempts) but tradition was at stake!
Well, the violets every one said no to, the violets everyone said were too tiny and delicate to make into a bouquet, Flowers of the world made them happen. I don’t know how, and I don’t care. They not only made it happen when about 235 others couldn’t, but they also did it in a week. They were wonderful. They managed my micro-​managing mother and gave us the boutique treatment.
On my wedding day, exactly on time, they delivered perfect violets in a perfect bouquet, wrapped in gorgeous baby ivy, and a mini version of my bouquet for my handsome hubby-to-be’s boutonnière.
Enough said.

Well for one, they listened to my ex dictate the entire ‘i carry your heart with me’ by e.e. cummings and transcribed it onto black cardstock with a silver pen. And other pretty funny dictations over time. Their arrangements definitely tend towards the modern, tightly packed and highly over-​stylized; I’ve always been an overflowing heap of long-​stemmed French country wildflowers kinda gal. may have something to do with why I’m single once again!

Gorgeous flowers in innovative arrangements. Very pricey, but worth it if need to make a knock-​out impression (congratulations to a former boss or mentor). I am a big fan of their everyday bouquets – for $ 30 you can get a gorgeous arrangement on the go.

I just received a delivery from here and while the arrangement is very unique and creative, the roses were wilted! When I called to let them know, they gave me attitude and tried to tell me that’s how the flowers are grown. I know a wilted rose when I see one, thank you. They did offer to replace it but with attitude and since the arrangement is still very pretty and was sent as a gift, I declined their offer.
