Carter’s Florist & Greenhouses

Such amazing quality, customer service, all around amazing company to deal with! Especially from 1800 miles away!
I will never deal with ProFlowers/​etc. The most magnificent, beautiful, well crafted flower arrangement was delivered to a friend today. The customer service I received from states away, is something to brag upon!
Highly recommend!

I have never had such a pleasant and satisfying shopping experience as the one I had with Carter’s Florist and Greenhouses (St. Petersburg, Florida) in October 2015.
I knew I wanted to send my friend a tropical arrangement for her birthday, since those are her flowers of choice. All I could find online were the ‘same old, same old,’ cookie-​cutter arrangements with roses, carnations etc. That is, until I found «Everglades [cc285]» at
.
I can’t remember if I called their local (727−327−5568) number or toll-​free (800−327−5568), but I had the very good fortune of speaking with Rod Beagle… who was easily THE most personable, polite (but funny), professional, thorough, attentive, patient, creative and helpful representative I have ever encountered.
As we kicked around some variations and possible additions, I never got the impression that I was bothering him, or the sense that he was in a hurry to just complete the sale. Furthermore, his suggestions were spot-​on and very much appreciated. He also demonstrated follow-​through by personally emailing my confirmation information, adding: «In an effort to amaze you, a digital photo of your order will be attached to your delivery confirmation.» And sure enough…
Now, I confess that I don’t send flowers on a regular basis. But I do know that no other florist ever offered to — in a very real sense — show me what I was getting for my money (even when I was spending hundreds of dollars)…much less give me what I had asked for.
«Magnificent! Splendid! Gorgeous! Stunning! Breathtaking! Resplendent! Spectacular!» …This was my response when Tammy (the manager) went above and beyond by emailing the photo to all three of my email accounts (after I let her know that I was having trouble viewing it). My friend/​the recipient was crying tears of joy as she told me she had never seen such a beautiful flower arrangement — which kind of says it all. (I regret not saving the pics from my friend, because this one from Carter’s didn’t do it justice.)
But in summary…
You will definitely: (1) Encounter friendly, thoughtful, accommodating and talented people who are willing and able to serve you, and fulfill your floral needs and desires; (2) Get your money’s worth; and (3) Be amazed by their breathtakingly beautiful flower displays if you patronize Carter’s Florist.

I would give them more stars if I could. Ordered at 10:00, my arrangement was delivered by noon. It was exactly what I described and asked to be created. Great customer service. I received an email with a delivery conformation and picture. Would never consider using anyone else in St Petersburg.

We went to Carter’s to look for our wedding flowers — I had in mind what I wanted for my bouquet — I wanted a cascading bouquet that had calla lillies and matched our colors: turquoise and purple. The pictures I had found only apparently were artificial flowers but the florist gave us some options. He could work purple orchards into the lillies. He showed us some pictures of similar bouquets to what I was looking for. I decided to trust him and we ordered the bouquet plus 2 smaller, more plain ones for the bridesmaids.
When the flowers arrived on our wedding day I was shocked! The bouquet was much more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. It was huge and an amazing cascading display of lillies and orchards. I was more than happy with what I received and I got numerous compliments on the flowers.

Ordering flowers when you live in another city is always a challenge. You hope that what you’ve chosen will actually look like what you’ve chosen when delivered.

Carter’s not only did a beautiful arrangement at a reasonable price, they emailed me a picture of the arrangement they delivered.
Stunning customer service!

I called from Colorado to order flowers for a Celebration of Life Service being held at the St. Petersburg Women’s Club. Carter’s went above and beyond to ensure my order was completed and delivered in time for the service. They provide excellent customer service and quality arrangements. If I ever need a florist in the St. Petersburg area again, I will call Carter’s.

I had been searching for a particular type of flower for my girlfriend for some time… Finally I found it on Carter’s website! The customer service was impeccable and the arrangement absolutely breathtaking! Couldn’t have been happier with my entire experience :)

I called them (from CA) based on the last reviewer’s comments because I would not be able to visit them personally. I wanted to arrange for flowers for my parents’ 60^th wedding anniversary. We sent them a picture of my mom’s bouquet, and despite it being black & white and blurry, they were able to duplicate it beautifully. That and some other flowers we requested — they did an great job — on time, wonderful customer service, and the flowers were in beautiful shape. And a reasonable cost. Highly recommend.

I went to quite a few florists when I was planning my wedding, and Carter’s was the only one that actually listened to what I wanted.
I wasn’t looking for anything over-​the-​top and I was working a fairly low flower budget.
Carters was very responsive to my needs and my budget. The owner, Terry, truly listened to what my husband and I wanted and was very accommodating. He created a beautiful look for us, without breaking the bank. I probably emailed him once a week, and he always got back to me right away.
Carter’s has been around for a while, and it’s easy to see why they have prospered. You could not find a nicer group of people to work with.
We loved the arrangements and the people at Carters. I can’t praise them highly enough.
