Margitta’s Flower Boutique

I buy Markita’s flowers because of the quality. It’s simply superior. I received a bouquet from a dear friend visiting from California 4 days ago. A purple hyacinth, a stem of three giant dark pink lilies, one of which was open, an exquisite orange rose with dark orange tips almost in full bloom and perky is can be, some yellow baby chrysanthemums and one tall little red gerbera with some greens. such a beautiful and thoughtful arrangement. So fragrant and vibrant with color to enjoy on these great Vancouver days. They look as fresh as the day I got them only better because a newly opened today!

Just ordered flowers from here to send to a co-​worker in the hospital in North Van. I usually despise ordering flowers over the phone because it’s a painful process. The lady who helped me was super quick at taking the info & able to do same day delivery despite it being after 1pm. I will order again for any flowers in North Vancouver!

Beautiful flowers, but terrible, unprofessional customer service. Their delivery service is unreliable, and they don’t take responsibility for their mistakes. They made excuses and were completely rude and childish about it. Do not recommend these people at all.

I have mixed feelings about this place. I wanted to buy the flowers for my wedding here because the location was convenient for the rest of the plans for that day, but the woman working there did just about everything to convince me not to! She was very negative and complained bitterly about various things — most of the other vendors I dealt with were excited and grateful to be a part of my wedding plans.
For example, when I told her the kind of flowers I liked, she said, «Oh, those aren’t in season. You know, some brides are so organized that they plan their wedding date around when their flowers are in season.» Well good for some brides! Then she said I had better try another florist if I wanted that particular flower. I said I was sure I could find something that would look nice there. The shop attendant was eventually helpful when it became apparent that I was determined to buy the flowers there, but I came up with most of the ideas and I would not describe her as friendly.
If you are uncertain of what you want and are looking for advice and direction, I would not recommend this shop. However, if you are just picking up something pretty, I’m sure you’ll find something suitable there.

I love flowers in general and this place has rainbow flowers. I love rainbow flowers and they’re very hard to find in the city, however, they had them for $ 5 each which is reasonable for what they are. The prices are decent and the customer service was warm and awesome.

My friend had ordered a flower arrangement from this place and had it was delivered to my work place. When I received the delivery, my name was spelled wrong and my friend’s name was spelled wrong. My friend found out and talked to the manager and they insisted it was the driver’s fault. The manager also said the flower arrangement was done up nicely with a ribbon. I didn’t realize it was the driver’s job to write out cards. My friend spelled both our names on the phone to the person receiving the order and it’s just a bit sloppy to mess up a message. Our names are common names nor should they make that type of mistake on any messages taken over the phone. The flower arrangement was tied up with green wire at the stems and then clear plastic wrapped around the flowers and put together with tape. There was no ribbon when I received it. It looks like it was hastily wrapped. Don’t recommend this place for custom orders and delivery. I do appreciate my friend’s gift and her thoughtfulness but wanted to write about our experience to warn others. Did not get plant food for my flowers either.

Great selection of flowers and the owner is pleasant. I ordered bouquet of flowers here 1.5 weeks prior pick up. On the day before I pick up my bouquet, I came by and reminded the owner that I’ll be picking up my bouquet of flowers at noon the following day.
I came by at noon, my bouquet wasn’t ready and the grouchy lady (worker) was surprised that I was picking up my order. She stated «I don’t know about this and I have been working non stop like a dog since morning». She then told me, come back in 30 mins. I left very disappointed. When I came back 45 mins later, my flowers were not ready! I waited and waited while I listened to the lady’s bitching how hard she works and never appreciated.
It might be nice to get flowers here on the spot but not to order. Looks like pre ordered flowers are overlooked. I read positive reviews about the flower shop. Maybe, it was just my bad luck. I gave gratuity when I ordered the flowers, I shouldn’t have paid prior pick up. If I get a service like this, I wouldn’t bother giving extra– what a waste!

Haven’t bought anything yet but I like what I saw. Browsing and saw they had air plants beautifully arranged in the glass containers ranging from $ 15 – 35. Great price as usually I see them sold for a lot more!
Second item in the shop that caught my eye was a simple yet cute orchid in a vase arrangement for $ 10. Definitely a steal since most places would probably sell you the vase on it’s own for $ 10!
Will def be back to get some christmas presents for my kids teachers.
Posted pics of both items.

Great florist on the north shore, the owner is a very nice lady and the selection of fresh flowers and potted plants is always impressive, very friendly staff, highly recommended.

Never fails. Anytime I’ve bought flowers from Margitta I’ve been happy. I just have to describe what I want over the phone and give my budget. They just get it. They know. I don’t even have to see the arrangement if I’m having it delivered. I can trust that it will be delivered and the recipient will be happy. (I always get that excited and full of appreciation phone call when the flowers arrive at the destination!) it’s no coincidence that Margitta was one of the florists to get a contract for the Olympics ;) well deserved!

Margitta’s did the flowers for my wedding and they were outstanding!
This flower shop is by far the best in town, they are honest and upfront with their prices and provide amazing work.
Their customer service is top of the line, everyone is friendly and knows their stuff.
The value for money is unbelievable. I was able to get everything I wanted under budget.
She might not like to brag but Margitta’s did all the flowers for the 2010 Olympics.
