infullbloom

My husband surprised me with some beautiful roses and a card from In Full Bloom to celebrate a special event.
I was really delighted by the roses and was overjoyed by the surprise, until he told me how he was treated by the staff at In Full Bloom.
He was clearly upset by his visit and informed me that while it took a while for him to receive any service, even though there were a few staff members around and no other customers — he was ok to wait. It wasn’t until he was in middle of being served by a staff member, that she abruptly walked away to serve a new customer who had just walked in. On top of that, she then asked my stunned husband to «get out of her way» so she could serve the other customer.
At first, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing — I was shocked and appalled at how he was treated and it made me so upset and angry. I was so close to throwing out the flowers as what should have been a lovely experience instead ruined our night.
My husband seemed to think it may have been to do with what he was wearing on the day, which was a tee-​shirt and jeans and the other customer was dressed in a suit. Regardless, that is no way to treat your customers!

All these beautiful flowers and most of them already half fresh 10 AM on Valentines day? And I guess it is still OK to charge $ 80 – 220 for a bouquet? When I finally found a fresh bouquet and wanted to add some roses this was not possible. On top of it all, when I paid with my CC there was a 4% surcharge.

Like any girl, I love flowers. Although I shudder to think of how much people pay for these fragile gifts, especially how sad some arrangements look after a few days or even when they’re transferred to a vase.
infullbloom offers some really unique flowers and gifts. Their arrangements are on the pricey side, but they’re tasteful and they last.
This place initially caught my eye because of the array of large cacti they have out the front. Now there’s a gift that wont wilt. Admittedly, it might send a weird message for most situations and certainly wouldn’t post well — but giant cactus!
Cactus aside, it’s a lovely florist that is a joy to purchase from or even just walk past.

I’m a sucker for flowers (all potential suitors take note) and infullbloom does a pretty amazing bouquet. The staff here know their stuff and are excellent at guiding you through your decision if you’re not entirely sure what you want or what your recipient may enjoy. They will put together beautiful arrangements and will wrap them, ribbons and all, to really help you win extra brownie points.
FYI my favourite flowers are Hydrangeas, Orchids, Peonies and anything with a culinary twist (think Cabbage, Kale and Chilis).

In Full Bloom is one of those beautiful stores that you never want to leave. Exotic flowers spill from every corner and the colours on show in the constantly changing displays are mesmerising. The sweet scent once you walk inside is truly intoxicating.
The bouquets are beautifully arranged with the type of artistry that you rarely see these days. These aren’t your average road side blooms.
If you want to impress someone special, this is the place to go.

In Full Bloom is a breath of fresh air on Clarendon Street, you can smell the aromtic fragrances of the exotic flowers well before you have even set foot in the door. Once inside you are greeted with a array of stunning floral arrangements and bright blossoming colours it’s hard not to have a smile on your face when presented with such visual stimulation!
I had a lovely experience with In Full Bloom when trying to organise some flowers for a friends engagement, the staff helped me to choose a perfect selection of flowers that were specific to my friends taste as she loves lilies but I wasn’t sure what else! They also organised delivery for me so it was a lovely surprise.
In Full Bloom can organise arrangements for weddings, corporate events and functions of any kind. Even if not buying flowers as a gift it is well worth wandering in store just for a bit of positive energy.
