Melrose Florist

To celebrate our daughter-in-law’s very first day as a teacher in the Seattle Public Schools, we decided to order flowers to be delivered on the first day of school. We checked out Unilocal and chose Melrose Florist in the University District because of its positive Unilocal reviews. We ordered an arrangement using Melrose’s easy to use on-​line order system. Everything was go for delivery on that special first day until we discovered that Seattle teachers would be going on strike. Our surprise seemed doomed!
As impressed as we were with what we read about Melrose Florist on line, we were even more impressed when we contacted them via email and the phone to see if they would be able to postpone the delivery until the strike ended and school actually began. They were more than gracious and extremely flexible and promised to monitor the strike along with us so that the flowers would be delivered on our daughter-in-law’s special first day with her students.
True to their word, a beautiful arrangement of flowers was delivered when the Seattle school year began five days after the original start date. Our daughter-​in-​law was ecstatic about receiving such a beautiful arrangement on that special day. Five stars does not fully represent how pleased we are with the quality and service provided to us by the Melrose Florist staff!

This review is for service, not the actual bouquet as I got it delivered to a client. They are a great local florist with no delivery or processing fees, so the cost of the flowers is what you will pay. I had to cancel my order which they did with no penalty fees and super easy (I sent them one email and it was done). Then I reordered and they didnt get confused or bat an eye at this, the order was delivered perfectly on time and I even got an email telling us it was delivered. Will definitely utilize this local company again.

This was the first time I’ve called them and had a great experience. I spoke to Shannon who was very helpful, and friendly… She sent out a beautiful succulent planter that my daughter loves. Definitely will be using them again! Thanks Shannon and staff for making my daughters day!

Got the deal for $ 35 for $ 25. Horrible bouquet. They acted like they never heard of this promotion. Super disappointed. Beware.

For my daughter’s 30^th birthday, I really wanted to give her a special arrangement of 30 pink roses along with a special card etc. I called and spoke to Raul and he was amazing and immediately put me at ease that he would take special care of my order. Well Raul, you delivered in spades — they were the most beautiful roses along with something you added as a special touch. I couldn’t be more pleased with how much thought went into something so special for my daughter. Thank you.

The roses are big and fresh and the staffs are very friendly. I can tell they really care for the products and services. The bouguet was delivered on time and my fiancé loves the roses. I would recommend this florist shop to anyone. Thanks again for making our days.

On Monday, from their website, I ordered flowers in a bamboo box (with a balloon) for delivery on Thursday to celebrate something happening on Thursday. They delivered the flowers on Monday (it was awkward for the flowers to arrive early), in a wooden (not bamboo) box, with no balloon. I complained via email on that Monday. They never responded. The flowers themselves are nice/​what I expected.
Never doing business with this florist again.

I have always been very happy with the quality and variety of flowers from this florist. They are more than willing to make a beautiful arrangement for your price range.

I asked them to select a nice arrangement for my wife and was impressed with the quality of the bouquet– their florist did a great job. I asked for the arrangement to be ready by a certain hour for me to pick-​up and they kindly obliged. Would do business with them again.

I called this afternoon at 12:45 pm requesting delivery to my sister for a basic bouquet of flowers. $ 58 included delivery. The flowers arrived between 4 – 5 pm. Arrangement tasteful orange and yellow – lovely by all accounts. More than I wanted to spend, but other places charged similar price range. I might use them again only becaus they are close by, but not averse to trying another place too.

I’ve gone twice so far to get flowers for my girlfriend and I have been super impressed both times. The flowers are super fresh and fragrant. None of the flowers look wilted or droopy. I had to get the flowers a day early because I needed them for Sunday and they are closed Sunday and the guy working there put the little water containers on every stem of the bouquet. Great service.

Came here to get some last minute bouquet of flowers for a celebration. The two gentlemen working were incredibly kind. They already had some pre-​made bouquets, but they weren’t in the color I had wanted so I asked if they could put one together for me on the fly. The florist put together a beautifully arranged bouquet — the flowers were fresh and smelled lovely.
I would definitely get flowers from Melrose again!

After a co-​worker says «Hey Jill come here!!» a pleasant/​silent happy scream bursts out of my mouth when I go to the front of the shop… Are these for me? Yeah baby! The delivery person says he can’t tell me who from, have to open envelope! It’s all good… I stare at the beautiful greans, purples and creams of the variety of flowers gorgeously arranged in a not the usual vase (one that I will keep :) Have received a couple other arrangements from them since this time (one reason why I need to Unilocal) and they too were absolutely stunning — golds, reds, greens, blues…
Beautiful, just absolutely beautiful work…

Melrose Florist is absolutely fantastic. My mother accidentally ordered flowers through an «order distributer» (
) who not only charged her a fortune and promised her everything she requested but also represented themselves as the actual florists. Not surprisingly the order was all wrong. She was so upset and called the group she ordered from will little avail. She then called Melrose who had actually put together the flowers. Turns out the company who farmed out the order not only did not give the correct request to Melrose, but also requested a flower arrangement that was only half of the price my mother paid. Exactly why you should always order directly from the florist themselves!
When Susie at Melrose learned this she was very upset and apologetic (although none of this was their fault). She then graciously offered my mother a new bouquet to be delivered that was in line with her original order, something they did not have to do since it was not their error in first place. Both bouquets were beautifully arranged and the flowers were fresh and lovely. I always appreciate it when a business takes their customer satisfaction so seriously, something that is often lacking these days.
If you are in Seattle I would highly recommend Melrose Florist for all you flower needs!

My Mom sent me an arrangement to commemorate a recent promotion. I was away from my desk and when I came back there was a beautiful lasered-​etched, pink vase overflowing with ivory and pink coloured roses. I was very pleased; the roses are large and very, very fragrant. My Mom said it is from the FTD Verg Wang collection. Only the best for her daugther. I will plan to order from them directly in the future.

I wonder how much walk in business they actually get. The shop has been around FOREVER so they must do well, but I’m guessing that’s as much online business these days. It is an FTD florist after all. I made a quick stop in here for a housewarming plant gift — how cliché is that? Pretty, standard flowers and arrangements. Wouldn’t call this modern by any stretch. If you need something standard for traditional occasions this would be the place. They have same day delivery.
