Queen’s Park Florist

My fiancé ordered an arrangement of coloured roses to be delivered for my birthday seeing he was out of town. he used queens park florists. because it is walking distance from our house. now this isn’t a review based off of me ordering but from the receiving end .
I was highly disappointed when I got these flowers. the roses were just placed in the vase THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO CREATIVITY USED AT ALL!!! now I’ve done arrangements for events and I ended up fixing this one after. added some 4 dollar baby’s breath from safeway. trimmed some of the roses so they were different heights and also arranged the colours nicely …
Their customer service is good tho. she called and made arrangements for me to pick them up because she couldn’t get into my building and she stilled walked them home for me because it was heavy and I had a stroller and other stuff. I mean my fiancé technically did pay for delivery but it was still nice of her .
Also some of the red roses were dying very dark. they didn’t even take the time to pick the dead petals off .
Honestly this bouquet was 50 plus delivery and tax. don’t waste ur money go elsewhere … safeway at new west station sells nicer arrangements in their fridge section and they also have vases for sale. I’m sure for 50 bucks you could get a WAAAAAY better arrangement that actually utilizes some creativity and effort with a vase and the person who receives it will be happier .
Don’t get me wrong I am very greatful that my fiancé put the effort in. I just feel like he wasted his money because the arrangement was such a disappointment and I ended up fixing it myself …
The two stars are strictly for customer service … actual product gets 0 stars …

I couldn’t be more impressed with Queen’s Park Florist.
I arranged to have flowers sent to a colleague who is on a medical leave. I had purchased a card from a nearby store in downtown Vancouver where I live and asked the shop to please not send out the flowers until the card arrived in the mail and to then send everything out together.
After checking in repeatedly it seemed that the card had not arrived in the mail. After over three weeks I gave up and figured the card wouldn’t materialize so I asked Nikki to go ahead and please send the flowers. I also asked that in the unlikely event that the card should show up, would she please mail it on to the recipient of the flowers. She was very willing to do so.
I think at least two weeks or so passed. I had long given up that the card would ever appear until I suddenly received an email from Nikki informing me that the card had arrived and that she would send it on right away.
I think that people who run a floral shop should be caring types given the nature of their business and Nikki is obviously that. This is top-​notch customer service and I’m very grateful to Nikki and the staff there for first sending out a beautiful bouquet at a reasonable price and then ensuring that the card followed when it finally arrived.
I would highly recommend Queen’s Park Florist to anyone and will happily use their services again should I need to.
Thanks so much, Nikki.

I walked into Queen’s Park Florists yesterday to order two arrangements for delivery today (Administrative Professionals’ Day). We discussed my budget and the shop owner asked me a couple of questions to help give her an idea of what I was looking for (Did I want a full or modern arrangement? Subtle tones or bright and cheerful colours?), and then I left my order in their very capable hands.
Queen’s Park Florists has a variety of vases and vessels on-​hand and they offer bouquets, floral arrangements and potted plants as well. This shop specializes in fresh, clean-​looking and sophisticated floral arrangements, which means you won’t see any tacky carnations or baby’s breath (hallelujah). They also have an impressive selection of artfully potted succulents which they sell at very reasonable prices.
The flowers were delivered to my office today on-​time and they are absolutely gorgeous. I cannot compliment the shop owners enough for their beautiful and tasteful arrangements. I was very impressed with the result they were able to achieve with my relatively modest budget. Their prices aren’t the cheapest, but their arrangements are worth absolutely every penny.
Since today is Administrative Professionals’ Day, I should mention that there are a few arrangements floating around my office from other local shops. While the arrangements I purchased aren’t the biggest or flashiest, I would say that the flowers from Queen’s Park Florists are by far the most sophisticated and tasteful.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use this florist again for deliveries in New Westminster. Thank you Queen’s Park Florist!

I am in Wedding Planning hell and today was my day to finally get down to the flowers. Svetlana at Queen’s Park Florist made me feel so much better about the whole thing and kept it within my budget range.
A few days ago I emailed the shop to inquire about starting the whole process and to be honest I was prepared to spend a billion hours in there. Needless to say that wasn’t even close to my experience. I was in and out in 15 minutes and felt like she really understood what I was looking for and want for my bouquets and boutonnieres.
I will obviously be adding more as my experiences progress with this company but so far I am a very happy camper.
UPDATE:
Wow, they did an AMAZING job on the bouquets and boutineers. When I get the photos I will post them to show. I would definitely recommend them to any bride!
Svetlana is fantastic!
