Winston Flowers

My friend sent me flowers for graduation from Winston flowers, which were gorgeous. The day after she sent them, and one of the hydrangeas in the mixed arrangement began to wilt. I called Winston flowers and they could not have been better about it. They apologized and sent me a new arrangement immediately, and then called to follow up to make sure that the flowers arrived. They were gracious and extremely professional. I would recommend to anyone.

The folks I worked with on organizing my wedding here went beyond their call of duty to ensure our day was magnificent. Because it was an autumn wedding, we selected a cosy palette, keeping it relatively straightforward to conform to the modern and refined aesthetic for our day.

I have tried online flower delivery services before and those companies are an absolute pain to work with so this year I decided to look for a local florist to have flowers delivered. Unfortunately, Boston lacks an abundance of florists and some of the florists that I have visited are either mediocre or sub-​par at best. Luckily, for those on the verge of giving up on florists in the Boston area need look no further — Winston Flowers can satisfy all your floral needs.
There’s a tranquil ambiance inside the Newbury location and the employees are knowledgeable and eager to help meet your every need. In my experience, the arrangements that I have ordered arrived on time (they only deliver before noon or after noon) and lasted around 7 – 10 days.
I recommend their seasonal arrangements or their long stemmed roses, which live up to their name since they were easily about two feet long if my memory serves me correctly. Their price is on the higher side, but if you want flowers that impress, Winston’s is the place to go.

So this is great. Used to live in Boston, and have been a customer of Winston for well over 10 years. Continued to use them even after we moved away, as they are so beautiful, and their network of local florists is of similar quality.
In the past 18 months, they have failed to deliver 3 of my last 4 orders

The young lady who helped me yesterday was outstanding (for some reason I want to say her name was Stephanie but then I also wanna say it could be Jessica) — anyway, that besides the point, I wanted to send some flowers to my bestie who’s taste is definitely not traditional and the suggestions I got were amazing! I basically just described my friend a bit & Winston’s nailed it! I didn’t even realize how much I loved sending flowers but to make someone’s day like that made mine — so thank you Stephanie/​Jessica & Winstons on Newbury St.!!

I’ve been hearing about Winston for years, and this year decided to treat my wife to an arrangement. The first was for Valentine’s Day. It arrived bruised and wilted and had died by the next day (yes, of course we watered and fed it per the instructions) customer service was very apologetic and gave me a partial refund, so I thought I’d try again for Mother’s Day. The Mother’s Day roses were in even worse condition — discolored and clearly not fresh. One day later they are wilting. I don’t understand how winstons says in business if their quality is this poor.

The flowers at Winstons are the most beautiful I have ever seen! The florists really creates a work of art. They are unlike any flower business I have ever used. The care to detail and sculpture are amazing.
The staff is five star on the phone and in person. Don’t even think about any other florist.

My husband got me a dozen of long stemmed red roses for Valentine’s day. They delivered on time too even though there was a scheduled snow storm that day.
Boy, were they long stemmed. So pretty! Quite satisfied.
It came complete with the care instructions however, the flower «food» was missing. The next day, the flowers looked kind of sad so I called them and told them about it.
They sent me a fresh dozen.
Excellent service. Beautiful flowers.
All of you men of the Greater Boston area, please, don’t even think twice.

I love their flower arrangements and I used to think they have the best quality of roses in winter season. However, I received my Vday roses and they only last for THREE days. What a shame!!!
I’ve received at least 3 – 4 bouquets from them every year in the past two years and I would recommend to order «seasonal» selections to make sure the quality of flowers are in control.
If you want to impress a girl. They are the best option!
*I edited my review from 3stars to 4s coz they contacted me about my Vday bad experience. I attached my roses pictures to manager (Julie), who is courteous and thoughtful to send me another arrangement and shares some tips of keeping flowers fresh. I def. would give them five stars for their customer services. Nowadays we are used to mistreated by cable/​mobile corporations and don’t realize how awesome local business owners are. Our company always orders from them to our clients and it is great to know they have higher standards of services.
Their season/​holiday designs are impeccable and will always provide the ‘awe’ moments for the recipients ! *

I do not know anything about flowers, but all I knew that Saturday morning was that I needed a beautiful-​looking-​arrangement under $ 30 for my friend’s white coat ceremony.
This place is right on Newbury and the aesthetics of the store arrangements looked expensive. I honestly was kind of hesitant because I thought I would get snooty treatment, HOWEVER the service was amazing! The guy who helped me, Robert, first showed me a beautiful $ 100 arrangement. I was upfront and told him I had a budget of $ 30 bucks. He didn’t shun me away or treat me differently. He suggested a beautifully fall themed bouquet within my price range. They wrapped it up nicely and added a fancy black bag, all totally $ 20. Everyone working there were very personable. I’m definitely coming back and I recommend this place for people who love to buy flowers for their special friends or family.
My friend looooved the arrangements!

I’ve received several bouquets from Winston and they have been just lovely. When my arrangement was running late for my birthday, the person who sent them said they called and the customer service was great and that they arrived shortly thereafter. They also partner with wbur so some proceeds may go to charity, which I love.

Hands down the best floral arrangements in Boston. I am never disappointed with them!

They NEVER disappoint. I use them for every occasion. They are relatively expensive, but worth it!

Quality has been sliding this year…
No variety

Winston does beautiful arrangements, they are extremely talented and have a wide selection of flowers. Sometimes i love to just come in and look around — it’s so pretty! Whether you just need a bouquet for your dining room table or want them to decorate a big party, they will do a phenomenal job. Winston is top notch quality, service and presentation.
You will pay a significant premium here. You can certainly get cheaper flowers elsewhere but you pay for their work and quality and you just need to be OK with that if you’re going to shop here. One recommendation is that if you have a vase or otherwise you need flowers for, bring it and they will set it up for you versus trying to guess how much you need to fit your vase. They are super efficient, i’ve gotten some pretty big arrangements within 20 minutes when i was in a jam

Winston Flowers is the absolute BEST florist! Their flowers are always gorgeous and fresh and their arrangements are stunning. When I lived in Boston I purchased flowers here every week for years and was consistently impressed.
I would highly recommend them!

What makes a dark and cloudy day become brilliantly beautiful? An unexpected delivery of Winston Flowers, that’s what. These professionals know what they are doing, offering stunning arrangements, gorgeous color combinations and a unique style all their own.
I have used Winston Flowers to send get well gifts and birthday love but funny enough, I had never received an arrangement from them until recently. Compared to other places who have delivered flowers to my doorstep, Winston Flowers is by far the most welcome.
Next time you want to spread a little loving or send out some good cheer, call up Winston Flowers and see how happy you make the recipient. You don’t even need Valentine’s Day or a birthday as an excuse. Send someone special a few bright flowers for no reason at all or just because you are thinking of them. A delivery from Winston Flowers will make their day.

My sister-​in-​law sent me a white hyacinth arrangement from Winston’s for my birthday and wow! The flowers were not only stunning, but also lasted an incredible two weeks. The flowers looked amazing on arrival, and continually bloomed, growing more and more beautiful by the day. Usually it’s the opposite — gorgeous on the first day and a steady decay after that. These flowers were a special treat and I’m definitely going to keep Winston’s in mind the next time I need to order a special arrangement.

Haven’t bought anything here, but came here with a friend looking for a plant. He mentioned that this is the best flower shop in Boston. He recently had a bunch of his plants die, but the only ones that survived were the ones he bought from Winston’s.
The flowers here are beautiful. Their arrangements are amazing and I love Winston’s style. Clean, simple, modern in a new luxury way. I heard this described on NPR yesterday where old luxury = marble, brass, gold, over the top.
Too bad I don’t live in Boston so didn’t need to buy anything here.

Modern Elegant & Chic
What more could a girl ask for. Came in here to take a look was impressed with everyone who worked here. Fantastic service, beautiful arrangements, and one of a kind custom vases and pots. Modern, sleek, clean in style. Would like to take all of the plants home with me. Now all I need is a good gardener.

Strong Suggestion: if you mind the price, just come back when you’ve saved up. Beautiful stunning, and never forgotten, worth every penny.
PS. they have a location opening soon in New York City :)

Earlier this year, I was extremely stressed out at work. I walked into my office one morning and on my desk waiting for me was a gorgeous bouquet of purple flowers in a vase from Winston, sent from my man. I know nothing about flowers, but I know these were beautiful (purple is my favorite color!), well-​kept, and lasted for about 3 weeks. I still have the glass vase they came in, and still have the picture I took of them when I first arrived that morning.
Needless to say, this guy’s a keeper :)

My husband has ordered flowers from Winston for many years and loves their arrangements. They have never disappointed anyone. The colors are vibrant and beautiful and the arrangements are amazing.
It is on the more expensive side so you get what you pay for. It has taken me some time to simply get past the cost and simply enjoy the flowers when he treats sends me a surprise treat.
I now do order from Winston’s for others and do have an appreciation for what a gorgeous bouquet should look like.
They are not your «typical flower» shop! Love them now.
