Emerald Petals

What a wonderful and rewarding experience I had with Emerald Petals. I found this florist on Unilocal since I wanted to support a local business to order a bouquet for my son and daughter-​in-​law who just moved to Portland. After reading their great reviews and satisfied customer comments, I decided to call Emerald Petals. I was unable to request specific flowers for the arrangement since I’m in the northeast and not aware of what is fresh and available in the northwest at this time. But, when I saw a picture of the flower arrangement that Emerald Petals created, I was so impressed and thrilled with the arrangement! It is gorgeous, creative, and very special! I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful arrangement to convey my good wishes! I will definitely use Emerald Petals again and couldn’t recommend them more highly.

I live in San Diego, but I wanted to have flowers sent to my good friend in Portland for her wedding. She was having a small courthouse wedding and my friends and I wanted to make sure she felt our presence even though we couldn’t be there. Not wanting to send some run-​of-​the-​mill, impersonal bouquet, I did some research into local flower shops.
I choose Emerald for a couple of reasons: first, their bouquets are gorgeous! The pictures on their website are beautiful, but pictures from Unilocal show me bouquets that are just as pretty (so you know their bouquets are consistently that nice!). Second, I liked that they are an eco-​friendly shop and use local and seasonal flowers. It made me feel like my friend would be getting the freshest, prettiest flowers!
I worked directly with Hilary in ordering the bouquet. She was wonderful– she took the time to tell me about the types of flowers she had available and was so flexible with my budget. My friend LOVED her flowers! I’m glad I choose Emerald.

Hilary is an angel. I was such a bridezilla about the bouquet. She was the only florist who graciously agreed to recreate something I’d seen on Pinterest — even hand dying the silk fabric to match the picture. As the wedding was on the coast, we decided to pick up the flowers two full days in advance. They kept beautifully. She really could not have been more accommodating and helpful.

I didn’t think I was going to be so picky about my wedding day florals, but, I ended up caring more than I thought I was going to and am so glad I chose an artist like Hilary to execute my vision of cascading, wild, loose arrangements in a very specific color palette.
It was easy to work with Hilary from start to finish, despite planning a Portland wedding from Austin. She did a mockup arrangement and emailed it to me, and I was able to provide her with feedback which she incorporated impeccably.
She created truly beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, hanging arrangements, and centerpieces for our big day, came out to the venue to arrange it all, and was very very reasonable in her pricing.
My mom also had this to say but is still probably a few years away from getting Unilocal reviews figured out:
«I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the FABULOUS job you did on the flowers for Jess and Matt’s wedding. They were absolutely perfect for the occasion and matched Jessica’s vision of color, organic arrangements and beautiful blooms. It is quite the gift and eye you have. You helped make the day be even more beautiful than it was! People who were offered the arrangements at the end of the evening were thrilled.»

Hilary did an amazing job with the flowers for my recent wedding. She was great to work with in the months leading up to the event as we discussed what visuals I wanted and our price range. Everything felt fairly priced and I was really impressed by the quality of the flowers and the artistry of the arrangements. She was also super responsive, which I really appreciated. I’d order flowers from her anytime!

We give Hillary our ideas and she executes it flawlessly. I am always stunned with how beautifully wild, elegant, and natural her flowers are arranged. Every detail is a surprise that exceeds expectations.
I have used her arrangements for a bridal shoot and in my home and would highly recommend Emerald Petals for any and all occasions. An absolute gem.

Very sweet. Love the diy vibe of the small little arrangements. Quick and great to work with. Great location

I’ve been holding off on this review so I could get a couple orders in. I recently moved up from Phoenix, and have used Emerald Petals for three different occasions: congratulating my wife on her new job, Valentine’s Day, and my wife’s birthday. Each time I have been truly impressed as these arrangements are not the typical «online» style, but extremely unique and fitting for the Pacific Northwest. They ask you exactly what your looking for and knock it out of the park.

I ordered Valentine’s flowers from Emerald Petals and had a great experience working with Hilary. She created a unique bouquet that impressed my sweetie. Hilary gets back to you right away and even fulfilled my request for a morning delivery. Great to see small, local businesses executing so well. Can’t recommend her enough.

The front of the shop is a funky place. I always walk past it to the florist in the back. She is fantastic at helping me score points with my gf and her momma.
If you’re in a pinch for raunchy bday/​valentine/​etc. cards they have some here too. Always get a kick out of browsing them as I wait.

Hilary just created some arrangements for our wedding over labor day weekend. They took my breath away! We didn’t give her much direction other than very basic requests, and so I was amazed to see what she came up with. She made three large, dramatic arrangements, 6 smaller table top arrangements, and some garland to tie to the trees we were getting married under. She also made my wrist corsage, my mother and mother-in-law’s corsages and husband’s boutonnière.
Although the sizes of her creations were so different, the textures and colors were brilliantly put together without being too matchy. She made our wedding so much more beautiful! I will definitely be going to Emerald Petals again.

Wonderful, perfect, wedding flowers with excellent customer service. Hilary created beautiful bouquets for me and my bridesmaids with little direction from me since I didn’t really know what I wanted — but she created the perfect bouquet for me, with vague (and not very helpful instructions) on my part.
She created flower pieces to decorate the arch we were getting married under, and provided ties for us to easily attach the flowers to the arch ourselves. All of our corsages and boutonnieres looked perfect, and were labeled accordingly so that we could easily pass them out to everyone who needed one. Her pricing was very reasonable, and I feel I got way more than my money’s worth in fresh, gorgeous, perfectly arranged flowers. All the flowers were neatly organized when we picked them up (bouts and corsages in a separate box to be refrigerated until wedding time, etc.) Hilary was a dream to work with, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for some beautiful wedding flowers or flowers for another occasion. Hilary’s attention to detail truly helped simplify our big day, and I am very grateful for that.

Amazing! I waited until the last minute to plan my flowers and Hilary knew my vision right away. She took care of my bouquets and boutonnières and I was so impressed by how perfect it all was! My guests said it was the most beautiful they’ve seen!!! Thank you!

Hilary is the best florist in Portland! I’ve been buying and receiving flowers/​plants from her for years and each piece she creates is breath taking. She is reasonably priced and shines with her sustainable practices.
I love her work so much I started having her deliver two bouquets to my office every two weeks and it just brings so much beauty to our space. Highly recommended for any occasion.

I am not surprised to find only 5 star reviews for Hilary and Emerald Petals!
She has an incredible eye for great bouquets from simple foraged table arrangements to the elaborate show stoppers. A total pro who is wonderful to work with, I highly recommend her for any occasion!

My mother, who lives out of state, needed to send flowers to one of her friend’s that had recently lost her daughter-​in-​law. She called me to see if she could order through a local shop rather then supporting an website. I suggested Emerald Petals and left it at that. At the funeral two days later, my mom’s friend made special mention of how impressed she was with the arrangement. It felt wonderful to have supported this family in some way through their suffering — what a blessing.

This is a great shop tucked within a great shop. Go to the back and enjoy the scents and sites. It’s locally owned and operated by someone who cares. Hilary will offer kind advice with your happiness in mind.
My wife has purchased many plants there and so should you. Her shop is boutique-​like without boutique pricing. Highly recommended!

We went to Emerald Petals for our bouquets and boutonnieres, and they were beautiful! I didn’t give Hilary a lot of direction, just a color spectrum and asked that they be pretty. And she did! Everything came boxed for easy transport, and the men’s pieces were labeled. That was a helpful touch at the last minute.
I thought about making my own flowers to save some money, which I don’t think would have saved me money in the end. Having a pro take care of the flowers totally saved my sanity, I couldn’t have been happier!

Such a cute, quaint little flower shop.
The woman working there was weet as can be. The succulents were all arranged – not too crowded and perfectly pieced together int he cutest little teacups and pots.
Flowers for arranging were dispersed among the shop and I noticed the little greenhouse featuring all the hot-​natured plants like ferns.
Thumbs up and green for the Wooly Pockets which they do have here. I bought my mini Wooly Pocket for just $ 18 and am floored at the new planting I’ll be hanging from it and my wall soon.
Service was friendly and since I’m an out of towner, appreciated. Also LOVED the little homemade «not for children’s eyes» cards up front. Take a look and flip through them for some laughs and you might just leave with one for an occasion.

Sweetest little place, this gal really has a gift for arranging flowers.
Lots of sweet little succulents and houseplants, along with
beautiful arrangements to choose from.
