Pure Design

Despite having a lovely place, it was actually the blooms that set the tone for my wedding. Michael’s trained eye and flair for the dramatics brought my vision to life. His capability to weave texture, colour and scale collectively added so much to our centerpieces, Chuppah, bouquets, and more…

I live in San Diego, needed to send birthday flowers to my daughter in Philly. I Unilocaled for a 5 star florist, found Pure, decided to give them a go.
Boy did I luck out! Called, spoke to Scott, told him what I had in mind. He suggested a subtle tweak to an arrangement from their on-​line menu, and he was spot on. The flowers were gorgeous. Amazing quality, great creativity. Delivered on time. My daughter was thrilled. I am too, to have found such a great florist for my Philly needs!
Can’t recommend highly enough!

I live in L.A. I needed some beautiful flowers for a family friend in Philly who recently lost her son. This florist gets 5 stars from me. The flowers were impeccable. She absolutely loved them. They were very fresh, delivered on time and better then the pic of the arrangement on their web site. Highly recommend!

Crafted a beautiful, creative, and fragrant bouquet, has the friendliest service, and worked with me so I could get my flowers on a tight schedule!
Update: I hadn’t read the previous review before writing mine, so after reading what K B had to say, I can see that they are also consistent!

Needed to send flowers in Philly, and I’m from Ohio, so I found Pure on Unilocal.Ordered an arrangement online and told them who I was sending the arrangement to and the occasion, and had them create something just for her. The result was stunning! They sent me a picture of the flower arrangement (loved that!). The recipient was beside herself! Incredibly creative and just stunning! Wish you were near me! Thank you!

Great and friendly service. Put together a beautiful arrangement for me on the spot, and within my price range. I had a vague idea of what I wanted, and the result was better than I could have imagined. Will be visiting this shop for all my florist needs in Philadelphia. A bonus is that it’s open on Sunday!

Pure design is just fantastic and always exceeds my expectations. They are so creative with their floral arrangements. The flowers and greens are always so fresh and vibrant. They also were able to meet a deadline delivery on short notice. I highly recommend them

Pure makes ordering flowers such an easy experience. Initially went to their website, then called and spoke to Scott who was extremely helpful and understanding with my specific situation. Discovered that if you order over phone rather than using their website then Pure will receive better recompense for their flowers and service. We live in the Dominican Republic and this is an annual (4^th consecutive year’s) purchase for my daughter’s birthday… muchas gracias!!!

In order to save some money for my recent wedding, I decided I was going to make all of our bouquets and boutonnieres myself. Ha. About a month before the wedding I realized «what the heck was I thinking» and contacted Pure to see if they could help.
In less than a month, going off of only pinteret photos I sent them, PURE created the most beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages I have ever seen. This is seriously not hyperbole. They were incredible. More than I expected and just gorgeous. I have now dis-​assembled them (2 weeks later) and have the heartier pieces of the bouquets in bud vases around my house. They keep on giving and making my world more beautiful!
I would seriously recommend Pure to anyone and will 100% use them again for future flower needs. I couldn’t have been happier working with them.

I was so impressed with the arrangments pure created for my sister’s 30^th birthday celebration. They were lush and perfect. For a long table of 16 people, the 3 arrangements were ideal. I called the store from out of town and described what I wanted. They provided suggestions based on seasonality and availability and helped me think through the perfect color pallete. The price was moderate too! I will be returning for future engagements. Great customer service as well.

After reading all the 5 star reviews on Unilocal,i decided to get my mom’s birthday flower from here.
I called yesterday to place an order on 10 roses and 2 lilies, a very nice girl took my order over the phone and told me it costs $ 52. However, when my boy friend went to pick it up today, they charged him $ 65. My boy friend didn’t place the order so he didn’t know the price they sold me yesterday, so when i found out I was thinking fine, it’s just $ 13 more dollar but I was uncomfortable with this.
Then it came the flower, oh my god the flower. It is absolutely hideous, they are small and the wrapping looked cheap. Totally not worth the $ 65, for $ 15 i get these beautifully blossomed red, yellow, and orange roses from wholefoods.
Im not mad at the price they charged me, not mad at the ugly bouquet. Extremely mad at how My mom could not receive flowers for her birthday because they are unpresentable and went straight into the trash.

We wanted white chrysanthemum boutonnieres, corsages, and flower girl bouquets for our October wedding. The flowers were simply spectacular! Beautiful design. We could not have been happier and all the guests raved about them.

I live in California and wanted to order flowers for a co-​worker who lives in Philadelphia. I was nervous since they do not have a website to pick options but thought I would give them a try anyways.
I called and let them know; my budget, that I wanted it delivered, and I wanted the flowers to have a young & bright vibe. The girl on the phone was extremely nice and accommodating even though I couldn’t even tell her what kind of flowers I wanted in the arrangement. She gave me the option of doing a «pave», a small lush arrangement, or something «sculptural». I chose the latter since it seemed fun.
The recipient was pleasantly surprised with the result and so am I! I highly recommend this florist, they truly know what they are doing. Don’t be afraid to call and leave it in their hands as they will not disappoint!

They are not only fantastic florists, but also the kindest people you will ever meet. After a very hellish morning of other florists mistakes, I had the pleasure of being rescued by Pure. I had ordered coral GARDEN roses from another florist about a month in advance for my friend’s bridal bouquet, but when it came to the day to pick up, they got me BRIDAL roses for the bouquet. NOT what I was looking for. Anyway, that was the start of my frantic search for these elusive garden roses. I called around and NOBODY had them. Neither did Pure, BUT they did have the AWESOME advice of replacing them with coral peonies that they did have. Their prices were very reasonable and they did not try to oversell me. I asked how many I would need for the bouquet and they said 3 or 5. When I told them that I was going to combine it with other flowers, they said 3 would be plenty. It would have been easy to have told me I needed 5, but they didn’t because they are just honest and kind people. By the way, the peonies were GORGEOUS and lasted all day in my friend’s bouquet.
Going to Pure turned out to be the best decision I made all day. On the way over, the online site I ordered bulk flowers for the centerpieces notified that they would not be delivering my 100 carnations on time. I was LIVID! I had confirmation for a timely delivery 2 days prior! Anyway, Pure not only extended their condolences, but gave me a few numbers and sources to find what was lost. They truly made me feel like they treated my problem as if it were their own. They even gave me flowers! They said that they were extras that they weren’t going to use Even after I insisted that I should pay for them, they refused to take any extra for them. What wonderful people! They really restore my belief in humanity. I will never go anywhere else!!!
On a side note, their store is so beautiful. Right when you walk in, it gives you a luxe feeling. It is decorated very tastefully and it feels like a high-​end boutique. Because I was there for quite a bit while they were trying to locate flowers for me, I was able to view a few samples of their craftsmanship. Their arrangements are composed with balance and grace. They use only the best of quality flowers and it shows in their work. They are truly a hidden gem that I will flaunt for a long time.

I am writing a review of Pure, never having used their floral services.
I am buying the flowers for my son/​future daughter in law’s wedding. I found Pure through Unilocal.I called to make an appointment. I spoke to a
man who was rude. He make sure he kept sighing and then
saying, «I could possibly fit you in…» I had a business for many years. If I spoke to
clients like he spoke to me, it would let me know that my business isn’t wanted/​needed by their company. That’s fine, I went to a couple of other florists and chose
Blossom. Mr Kim is a gentleman and gets flowers and customers.

Both my fiancé and mom ordered flowers for me from Pure for a special occasion. The flowers were beautiful. Their arrangements were truly unique and it is obvious that the florists have incredible skill. Both my mom and fiancé were a bit surprised at the arrangements for the price. I guess my mom expected the arrangement to be a bit bigger for what she paid, and my fiancé just wasn’t thrilled initially (though he was happier when a few additional flowers bloomed and the arrangement looked a bit fuller). I’m scared to know how much they paid because neither of them are cheap and they don’t typically make comments like that! Either way, if you’re looking for a unique arrangement and money isn’t an issue, Pure is your spot.

Let me tell you a story —
Like any other girl, I love a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Roses I don’t care much for, only because they steal the show way too often. (I’m all about equal opportunity here.) But sometimes, I hate flowers. They’re expensive, they die, then you throw them out. (Sad face.) Not only that, but on a certain Hallmark holiday, they are extra expensive.
In 2012, my fiancé sent me flowers for this little holiday. I am not exactly sure where he ordered them from, but it was most likely from
or
or something or other. A medium-​sized bouquet arrived, with nothing but UNBLOOMED irises and UNBLOOMED lilies. Now, I know he doesn’t take lightly when it comes to these things, but the vase of «flowers» sat around in my office for almost a week until they started to open up. Surprise, happy week after-Valentine’s day!
This year (2013), I thought I was very clear when I requested NO FLOWERS. Made it through the morning without a special delivery to my office. Maybe the coast is clear?
Nope.
He did it again.
But this time, he REALLY did it.
I got a ginormous vase, full of amaryllis, lilies, daisies, calla lilies, and a bunch of other flowers that I don’t know the name of. (The thing had to have been like 15 lbs. Had to.) Not only that, but every flower was perfect and my office was soooo fragrant. My colleagues could not stop coming by to admire the arrangement and compliment my fiancé’s amazing taste. My boss even asked me if he could borrow it for a day to surprise his wife with it.
Where did he order them from?
PURE.
With some water, love and care, they lived in our kitchen until the end of February.

Whenever my boyfriend gets me flowers for a special occasion (or just to cheer me up), he gets me flowers from Pure!
The arrangements are always beautiful and tasteful. My coworkers always compliment them, as well as my friends and family. One arrangement that Dylan gets me often come in a white vase, have HUGE lillies as well as beautiful green and white flowers. This arrangement fills my entire apartment and office with a wonderful smell, and the flowers usually last about a week and a half.
Basically, if you are trying to impress a girl, cheer a friend up, or celebrate any occasion, Pure will not disappoint.

Pure Design handled the flowers for my wedding day. Despite planning from afar and never even getting to meet them in person, the team made me feel at ease and was always so friendly when I called.
Our flowers were gorgeous and within the small-​ish budget I gave. They worked with what we could afford to give us beautiful arrangements. On the day of the wedding, we picked up the flowers from the store. All of the bouquets were given to us in glass vases so we could keep them looking as fresh as possible when they weren’t being held. Just this small touch really made me feel like they cared more than just getting our money and shoving us out the door. It was all around a really pleasant experience and I’d definitely recommend them!

I’ve purchased flowers from these guys several times and never disappointed!!! Prices are a little high, but for the area I guess it’s normal. Either way, I always get great customer service and a fast delivery! I’ll continue to use them for years, I’m sure!!!

I will never use another florist in Philadelphia.
I live out-​of-​town now, so I am unable to pick out flowers in person when I send them back home now. Thank you, Unilocal,for sending me to Pure this year! For the same price I spent on an internet florist last year, I got something totally unique, completely incredible, and worthy of my mom!
My mother received her birthday flowers today, and I was blown away via iPhone photo. I can only imagine just how gorgeous they are in person! I had asked the designer on the phone to send something bright, oranges and yellows, that exudes happiness and makes you want to do a little dance when you see them. To be perfectly honest, that is EXACTLY what I did when I received the photo of them. I’m an only child, so my mom is pretty stoked on anything I do, but hearing the overwhelming happiness in her voice on the phone when she talked about the flowers was next level. They are absolutely perfect. I wish I could go hug whomever made them. THANK YOU!
Seriously, using another floral designer would be a huge mistake/​future regret, dear Philadelphia person searching for a florist reading this review.

I was a bit weary about using a company without a website, but because of all the good reviews Unilocal provided, I am thankful I did.
I placed an order over the phone with Michael on Thursday 12÷1÷2011. He was helpful and provided a beautiful set of flowers to my wife at her place of business. What was especially helpful was that I gave him an idea of what I was looking and he created the rest. The flowers came out absolutely beautiful and most important, my wife was extremely happy.
For anyone that is looking for a reputable florist, you have come to the right place. Honest, creative and above all helpful. Thank you for the business and over the phone support.

Thanks to the care instructions I received at Pure, my white orchid has been thriving. So well, in fact, that it grew so top-​heavy with blooms that the simple base it came in could no longer anchor the plant down — even with a weight thrown in! After watching my lovely take a flying leap from the windowsill one day, I finally got the hint and off to Pure we went.
One of the florists helped me pick out an appropriate base, and then she transported the plant and added some taller stems to keep the branch upright. I am so pleased with the results and how much prettier the orchid looks in a proper flower pot.
I do not believe the orchid will attempt any more dives.
