I stopped in here to pick out some flowers for a random surprise. Ive passed by before and I know they have a decent selection especially if you are looking for something out of the ordinary roses and carnations. I know they have usually carried birds of paradise and orchids. I browse around and someone comes out from the back and asks if they can help me. I tell them Im just looking for now. I see some nice flowers. I see some nice vases. Its a flower shop. Figured I could pick something out and buy it right? Wrong. No one had come out front for a while so I stuck my head around the corner and some tween girl was sitting behind a computer. I asked if she could help me out. She said there should be someone up front and when she saw that there wasnt she either sighed in annoyance or snarled at me. She asks if im placing an order or picking up an order. I ask her if i can just pick put a few things. So she asks me again if im placing an order or picking up an order. So I said Ill place an order. I figgured what the hell, i came to pick up some flowers but might as well just have them delivered for Valentines day. She started taking my name and address. Apparently I was taking too long to long to look up my wifes work address because she let out another snarl or growl or sigh of frustration. Then she asked me what i wanted and what my price point was. I hadnt really come in planning to place an order but whatever, its Valentines Day. The skys the limit. I said well what do you have? Can I just pick something out from the fridge or do you have pictures I can choose from or what? She just asks me "whats your price point?". Then she snarled at me. This time foaming at the mouth. Or maybe it was was just another annoyed sigh. I couldnt take it anymore. I told her Ill just get some flowers somewhere else. Well just settle for Trader Joes flowers this year. Then when i walked out the door I am pretty sure she shape shifted into a direwolf or something and snarled again. Either that or she grumpily crumpled up the piece of paper with my order info and gave another one of those aggrevated sighs. But im pretty sure it was a direwolf. This was the second worst floral experience ever. The worst was when i was 7 and saw a bee on a dandelion and it stung me on the thumb. Seriously though. She was pretty rude. Which I would have dealt with but she made it too difficult to order flowers. I give them two stars instead of one because they still seemed to have a nice selection. Grrrr. Direwolf.

Terrible! Avoid like the plague, there must be a good florist in Columbia somewhere, but this isnt it! They essentially scammed all of their customers on Valentines day. I purchased an arrangement for my wife, with a box of chocolates. I purchased the most expensive one on their website; this is my wife and Is first Valentines day being married, so I wanted to impress her. The arrangement, delivery, and candy totaled a little over $300. I purchased an arrangement last year FROM ANOTHER FLORIST for her while we were courting, it was about half the price and it was great. Huge, beautiful, and remarkable. So you can imagine my expectation that for nearly twice the money, I was expecting something that would really WOW my wife this time. What she received was essentially just 18 roses, with nothing else. No other embellishments, or complimentary flowers. It looked pitiful. And it was in a PLASTIC CONTAINER, not even a vase!! The chocolate was generic and was of a brand that is sold at Walmart for a few dollars, I paid them over $20 for those. What a scam! $300 for a few roses, and a box of generic crap candy. What an embarrassing excuse for a florist. I cannot understand for the life of me why on earth they would short a customer willing to spend over $300 on flowers, dont they think they would lose valuable future business?? Dumb, dumb, dumb! Avoid this place, what a rip off!!

This company has very very very bad business practice. I know of a wedding planner who was working with them to do a wedding that is three weeks away. They talked as if they were going to do it . They planned site visits never showed up and then decided they just were not going to do it .Had all the excuses in the world. Said she never even booked the day and no contract was made and they were booked for that day.Really???!!!???!!! When they realized the wedding wasnt for the wedding planner who happens to be African American woman but for a high profile client all of a sudden their books were free for that day and apologies were made. Welp I believe you are a little too late Blossom Shop. Learn to treat all customers the same and just as important s the next you dont know how turning away one customer can ruin all future potential clients. Money lost .. and reputation out of the window. Unreliable, Unprofessional, Unfriendly doesnt care about your business, or ruining your special day. If i could give no stars . I would

DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST PLEASE READ!!!! I live out of town and wanted to send my Aunt a huge and beautiful arrangement of plants with lot of greenery plants to create a memory garden in memory of my Grandmother. I spent 98.98 for pink hydrangea and some other plant there was no greenery and it looked like I bought it at the general dollar store Even the basket was cheap looking. Would never recommend this florist and would never use them again. Sad due to it ruined a special idea for my Aunt and I felt so disappointed after trying to plan something very special and memorial. This could be a great opportunity for this florist. Dick-Dyer sends a lot of gifts though out the year from florist. Please if you want to send the very best DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST!

I ordered flowers from out of state and hoped for the best as I always do. In this instance, my relatives took a picture of the flowers I had ordered. I had asked for a fall themed arrangement and what I saw in the picture was red, yellow and pink flowers. Whats worse is the way they were arranged. Whoever put the arrangement together clearly has no ability to arrange flowers. The 4 pink flowers were all together on side, the red flowers were on the other side together, and the yellow flowers were grouped together etc. I have never in my life seen flowers arranged like this. I would never order flowers from this florist again. The website is quite misrepresentative of what this florist is capable of.

Worst looking arrangement I have ever seen and definitely NOT what we discussed in person or what I was promised!! When I called the shop to complain, I was given a defensive and very snobby attitude by the store manager, Corky. I was told to go shop in another lesser florist that was more my taste such as Storeys in Lexington!! What an uppity little snob!! No partial refund was offered for this UGLY arrangement, but I could come pick up 3 white roses if I wanted to. I will NEVER give them my business again!! They make over-priced arrangements and offer them with a side of arrogance!! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! You can get prettier, CLASSIER, arrangements from a grocery store!! PRETENTIOUS THIEVES!!
