Floral Expressions & Gourmet Goodies

Amazing local florist! I was traveling and called on a Saturday to see if they could do same day delivery near Wash Park/​Platte Park. They were very helpful, prompt and had the delivery to my wife in the next few hours.
Most of all, the flowers were gorgeous and she was blown away. I’ve ordered deliveries online from other places for a similar price point before and never see the type of arrangement or value these guys provided.

I’ve purchased roses from here 5 times and have been very happy every time. Prices are reasonable, the roses bloom beautiful. My girl has loved them everytime!

I love this little neighborhood flower shop! They always have fresh flowers of all kinds, and are willing to give you suggestions to create a lovely bouquet or gift basket. They have been in the neighborhood for quite some time, and have become my trusted florist.

Stay far far AWAY. My sweet fiancé ordered my vday flowers from FTD and this was the florist who had the nerve to send a so called arraignment to my house. They really need to be ashamed of themselves and not offer floral services if they can not deliver what a customer paid for.
You expect a higher quality when paying for a florist instead of Walmart. Save your money and your sorry ‘s to the person who it is intended for when your looking for flower arraignments for any occasion and NEVER EVER order from here.

Future Brides go somewhere else! I put a deposit down without knowing how much it would be for my quote. I just wanted to lock my day down. So it took a few months for them to give me a quote and I was only sent a few pictures of sample bouquets (which I really did not like)
Knowing this, It made me feel a bit nervous on how everything would turn out, so I had no choice but to change my decision on using them.
Every time I called this place a mean/​rude woman answers which should’ve been my first clue that this was going to be a negative experience. I emailed the girl who I was working with to let her know well in advance that I didn’t want to use them. I understand they would keep some of the money being that there is a non-​refundable deposit, but on a total amount that wasn’t determined yet because they took forever in getting back to me. I should have just gave them 10bucks down!
I got a nasty email saying how much work they have done for me already and turned away other brides… blah, blah, blah. Look! Most places give you quote in the very beginning Free of charge! So What work did you have to do for me to keep my money!
Their email should have said to hold the day we need x amount! Don’t try to guilt trip me of all the work you had to do! Shame on you!

I hired Floral Expressions for my wedding. The bridal/​bridesmaid bouquets and table centerpieces and groom/​groomsmen boutonnieres were great. However, the misc boutonnieres (for fathers, ring bearers, ushers), corsages for mothers, and flower girl crowns were horrible. The boutonnieres looked limp and lifeless like they had been left out to wither in the hot sun (or more likely, a hot delivery van). I ordered seven of these and ended up using only five because two of them were absolutely unusable (I only used the others out of necessity!). The corsages were also like that. I was plucking flowers off the outer edges in an attempt to make them look better. The flower girl crowns looked pretty but they were made so front heavy that they were not wearable at all. I was pretty embarrassed about the quality that I was handing out to some of my nearest and dearest. After the wedding, I emailed the owner about my issues. She was EXTREMELY defensive and rude. She said she has never had a complaint before and that it was MY fault — that I chose freesias for the boutonnieres and they are delicate flowers. FYI — I did NOT choose freesias, I just asked for white flowers. They picked the type. I honestly did not even know what freesias were before this! She also said that the flower girl crowns were my fault — that I wanted them full and that they advised against doing that. Um, the only thing I had asked them was if they could incorporate similar colors that were in my bouquet. It’s so irritating for someone to be saying things that never happened. I have all my email backup and asked her to show me where any of those things were said and of course, she never responded. I spent $ 1200 with the company. I asked for a $ 130 refund — to refund for the full price of the misc boutonnieres, the flower girl crowns (which were not even used AT ALL), and half the price of the corsages. When you take into account how much an entire wedding costs, do you think I would be spending my time trying to get back $ 130 if the flowers were truly not that bad? I mean, the delivery fee alone was $ 200, so you would think they could eat the $ 130 I was asking for. Anyways, the owner did end up sending me a $ 50 check with a rude note saying something about a «goodwill gesture». In conclusion, my wedding day was great and these flowers did not dampen my day. But, when you are paying for something, it’s just natural to expect a quality product. And I would certainly not expect to be treated/​accused the way the owner did afterwards. If she had only given me the $ 50 back but been apologetic, I would not have even written this review. MYRNA — LEARN HOW TO TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH RESPECT!!! I’m sorry I had to complain, but anyone who saw those flowers would have! I mean, my hair girl and photographer and bridesmaids were in the room with me when I first saw the flowers, and they were shocked at the quality. It was definitely not a case of bridezilla expecting perfection — just some bad flowers and some bad customer service.

Would not recommend. My son sent me an arrangement for Mother’s Day. It was beyond disappointing and I felt terrible for him. Should be ashamed of taking advantage of a teenager who works hard to earn his money. Carnations, really?

I live out of the country and needed an arrangement delivered to a funeral in the area. Everyone I spoke with over the phone were all so helpful and took a lot of care with my order. The website has lots of different styles to choose from which made it easier to describe what I had in mind. They created a lovely arrangement; best of all, I just gave them the name of the funeral home and the service time, they took care of the rest.

Came here with my cousin to pick out flowers for her wedding party. Myrna was so sweet and made sure all the flowers would be satisfactory to each of wedding party guests. She had a lot of great ideas and made the process really easy. I would recommend for your everyday and special occasion flowers. The prices were very reasonable as well.
Also she has a nice selection of cured meats, crackers, and other snacks for making a gift baskets.
