Very good customer service, but very disappointed in the arrangement. It looked nothing like the picture. No roses and a lot smaller than the upgraded price I paid.

The flowers were beautiful but the color scheme isn't what was shown in the "life of the party" bouquet.

Baqara's florist designed a wonderful bouquet to celebrate my grandma's birthday. They figured out the delivery around her busy schedule and again the bouquet was just so impressive. So glad to be able to send my grammie a wonderful and unique gift even though I live far away!

I placed an order online on 3/25 for a funeral on 3/31. Payment was taken and I received a confirmation that my order was received. On the day of the funeral, I noticed our arrangement was missing. I called the florist. She stated she never received the order and didn’t have the flowers on hand so she would refund my money. She did not apologize. She did not show any kind of empathy. She did not offer to send something to the family. It was purely a transaction. When people send flowers, it’s important. In the event of a funeral (especially a family member like this one), it’s heartbreaking when feelings were hurt because someone else failed at their one and only job. I understand mistakes happen but when there is no accountability and no ownership, it’s a disgusting display of customer service.

Bazaar is absolutely wonderful! The flowers delivered to my Mom made her cry they were so beautiful! She said they were the most beautiful flowers she has ever received! (and I send her flowers frequently!)

They go above and beyond customer service!

I specifically chose this arrangement because of the unique flowers and color combination. What I got could have been purchased from a supermarket florist. I even ordered a day early so that if they needed to order in the flowers, they would have time. Don't get me wrong, the arrangement was acceptable, but I wanted something special and only got '"OK". Next time I need flowers in Newton, I will go with someone else.

I can't thank you enough for the speed with which you fulfilled my order..especially since I inadvertently listed the wrong delivery date!!
The flowers were beautiful and exactly as I ordered. Two weeks later the arrangement is still stunning!!

The best bouquet I've had delivered in years! It was gorgeous and I couldn't be happier. Online ordering was easy and quick and the speedy turnaround from order to delivery was excellent. I have found a new florist and couldn't be happier. Do yourself a favor and check them out!!

She loved them. She said it was the prettiest bouquet of flowers she had seen. Thank you for doing such a great job.

I have not seen the arrangement but my mom said it is beautiful. She said there were lilies, which were not pictured in the bouquet picture and to which she sometimes has a problem with the strong scent (so I avoid them overall). The arrangement was also delivered to her apartment which is also at Park Centre although she is temporarily in Skilled Rehab, which I specifically noted on the address. I thought a local florist who hand delivers would get this right. So overall my experience was not positive and I wouldn't order from you again.

The flowers were a very big hit with the girlfriend. The arrangement was beautiful!

I accidentally put the wrong date in, and they helped me change it without any hesitation.

Fantastic, and can't wait to do business again!

Baqara delivered a birthday bouquet on short notice and in snowy conditions. They very nicely checked with me re: weather related flower substitutions prior to delivery. When I saw a picture of the bouquet my aunt received I was very impressed with the quality and variety of flowers. The bouquet was exceptionally beautiful. I will definitely order from Baqara again.

Ordering from out of state can be risky, Baqara Floral Lounge exceeded my expectations for service. They sent me a picture via text of the flowers before they were sent out for delivery. Their webpage was pretty easy to use which was also nice for an out-of-stater. If you are from out of state or even from Newton, you should definitely consider Baqara Floral Lounge for your floral needs.

I ordered a bouquet to be delivered here in Newton and later learned the recipient was working from home. I called and they delivered to her home out of town. The bouquet was elegant. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

For my sister's 75th birthday I wanted to send flowers. I searched online for florists in Newton. I selected Baqara Floral because they are associated with Bloom Nation. I am very familiar with Bloom Nation. And as expected everything was first class. They delivered on time, flowers were beautiful and my sister loved the flowers which was the ultimate goal. If you are looking for florists in Newton this business is a go to. Don't think about going anywhere else.

Pleased with the similar flower substitutions used but was a little disappointed in the vase substitution, especially when I chose “up grade” and ended up with a plain clear glass vase. Not similar at all to the original vase.

Florist Response:
Hello! When upgraded to Deluxe, the container stays the same and we create the arrangement fuller. We apologize for the misunderstanding. We keep the vase simple and invest the $$ into more flowers.
We'd love another chance for your 5 star review. If you'd like a nice, upgraded vase, you can request that in the order in the future.
Thank you for your feedback!
